Chapter 173 Don’t
"Master, I'm afraid I can't manage a Taoist temple, especially the Qixing Temple, which often provides free medical consultations and medicine." Shen Miaozhu couldn't help but feel sorry when she saw the old Taoist's gradually dimming eyes.
She thought for a moment and said, "In fact, Taoist Zhiyuan also wants to increase the income of the temple, but his contribution alone is just a drop in the bucket.
If everyone can get involved, Master Xuantong's medicinal food will generate considerable profits, apart from anything else.
In addition, Taoist Xuanxian's alchemy can also produce a lot of things to carry with you when you go out..."
Xuan Lingzi waved his hand and stopped her from continuing. One of them was the descendant of a criminal who had withdrawn from the world, and the other had gone astray while refining medicine. How could he dare to let them go? "They won't travel around.
Cold-prevention pills are also made in the temple, but there are very few available nearby that you can keep at home.
"You can promote it to other places, for example, by looking for major carriage shops in the capital. Many caravans need to be prepared." Shen Miaozhu smiled and said, "You haven't tried this before, right?"
"This..." Really not, Xuan Lingzi himself is not good at business.
Shen Miaozhu added, "There are also various fruits in the forests of Guanli. We can organize a blessing event and let everyone pay to pick them."
"No, no, no, everyone is free to use the wild things in the mountains and forests."
"I'm talking about the peach orchard behind Guanhou, which is very well maintained."
“It has never been sold in previous years.”
Okay, Shen Miaozhu felt that if she took over this business, she would probably be pissed off to death. "What about the medicinal herbs you grow? Do you supply them to the pharmacies and clinics yourself, or do they come to you to collect them?"
"The Zhending Prefecture clinic is here to buy it." Xuan Lingzi sighed, "We've been friends for many years, so I can't raise the price.
Zhiyuan got angry with me several times because of this."
He paused and said, "Zhiyuan also wants to hold a free clinic every quarter."
"Alas, Taoist priest, you are practicing Taoism, but you also have a heart of a bodhisattva." Most of the Taoist priests in the temple are orphans picked up by generations of old Taoist priests.
Shen Miaozhu would not suggest that Qixingguan change the frequency of free medical consultations. Some poor families may be saved because of the Taoist priest's monthly medicine distribution.
When the Taoist priest shook his head and laughed, she said, "I am willing to be your registered disciple.
I am willing to help my fellow brothers and sisters when I have the ability, but Qixingguan can no longer stand still and needs to go out.
It takes people who have learned enough to enter the world to practice. Taoist priest, you can’t protect everyone forever.”
After she finished speaking, she bowed respectfully to Xuan Lingzi, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."
Recently, the old Taoist priest taught her a lot when Teng was copying medical records.
Since he is registered and is a lay disciple, there is no need for any grand ceremony.
Xuan Lingzi originally thought she would refuse, or go back to ask the elders, but unexpectedly, she took a sudden turn, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll take you to meet the two uncles."
……
Shen Lingzhu didn't know that her senior sister had joined the Taoist sect again. She sent two wet nurses to continue cooking while she was talking to her aunt, "... Personally, I feel that Miao Sili is causing trouble again.
This was done so that Chunchun would be embarrassed when Uncle went to the county government office and couldn't get in."
The grandmother who was holding the child and coaxing him said, "Alas, there are some people you have no grudge against, but because you have hindered their interests once, you will take the opportunity to trip them up.
It's easy to imagine that he ignored everyone's pleas and insisted on claiming your aunt's dowry as belonging to the Shen family. I'm afraid those boxes and crates he carried away have already been sold for a profit."
"You're just a clown. I just don't know who the new county magistrate is." This is what Mrs. Hu cares about.
Shen Lingzhu: "The officer said his surname is Wang. Aunt, it looks like we have to go to the county town again."
"No, no, it's better to stay still and not move. Staying in this valley, there are few people paying attention to you." Mrs. Hu thought of Miao Zhu's original plan and said:
“To sell food in the county town, you don’t necessarily have to open a shop.
You can find a private house, steam the buns, wrap them in cotton cloth, and sell them on the streets.
"Tell people that we also make braised dishes, wontons, noodles, etc., and we deliver them to people's doorsteps when they order.
As long as the taste is good and the price is low, we are sure to have many repeat customers.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lingzhu blew a whistle, a complete takeaway, "Aunt is wise."
Mrs. Hu refused to fall for her charms. She grabbed her hand and said, "Who did you learn this from? Don't brag about it in front of others, not even in private."
"Oh oh." Shen Lingzhu didn't dare to say anything more, especially when she saw her grandmother also showing an unhappy look.
As Mrs. Hu was speaking, she turned around and borrowed the "Instructions for Women" from the eldest grandmother so that all the sisters could study it.
No!
Shen Lingzhu's face was filled with resistance, but Mrs. Hu did not relax and said, "Girls should behave like girls. Wearing men's clothes when going out is for convenience, not to make you behave like a playboy.
And…” At this moment, Erlang on the kang started to scream.
By the time Hu turned around to check, he had already wet himself.
Shen Lingzhu said, "I'll go get a new diaper," and then quickly left.
Mrs. Hu glanced at the many clean diapers on the kang cabinet and said, "Auntie, Dazhuzi is mentally stable and there is no need to worry.
But Xiao Zhuzi must start teaching carefully. I will inevitably scold her in the future, so I apologize to you here first."
"Don't worry, scolding her is teaching her. She should be beaten when necessary and scolded when necessary. Her parents are not around, so she relies on you to teach her.
My daughter and son-in-law said that these two children might be the only ones they have in the future, and they're worried they won't be able to raise them well, so they'll have to ask my eldest brother and sister-in-law for help. "Grandma Qi didn't interfere with how the Shen family raised their children.
Mrs. Hu then asked, "Why did my second brother and sister have to travel thousands of miles to have a child?"
"..." Qi paused, and said, "It makes a difference whether you have a son or not."
Mrs. Hu knew she was making excuses, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "The diaper has been changed, why hasn't Xiao Zhuzi come back yet?"
The reason why Shen Lingzhu didn't go back to the house was because she heard her uncle talking outside the courtyard gate.
She hurried to the gate and soon saw her uncle and elder brother watching the hurried officers leave.
She asked, "Uncle, is the invitation real?"
"No." Even if it was true, Shen Huai would not go. Seeing his own workers coming from the village in the distance, he said, "Get ready and have breakfast."
When his uncle turned to go home, Shen Lingzhu grabbed his brother and said, "It seems that the policeman is running away in a panic."
"When Dad takes action, how can a mere official withstand it?
Moreover, Dad even got the background of the new county magistrate out of him. Can you guess who it is?"
"How did you guess that? Tell me quickly, big brother." Shen Lingzhu had never seen many Jinshi scholars before, and she suddenly thought of a possibility. "Is he from the same class as my uncle?"
"Well, and he has always been a man who abides by the law." Shen Xianzhu further mentioned:
"There are almost no people with the surname Wang within a radius of 10 to 20 miles from our home."
