The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Although Guanshi Jin felt that one more thing is worse than one less thing, even if he wanted to save people, what would a girl like Hongxiu know?
However, after all, it was the Jin family's mistress who specifically told her to take care of the three concubines who had been released from the Jin family's gate, so Manager Jin still followed the three of them.

After Guanshi Jin went up and down, he saw Hongxiu hugging Tong'er from behind, and pressed his fists against Tong'er's chest and abdomen. When Guanshi Jin stood still, he saw Tong'er vomit something out.

After spitting out the stuff in his throat, the little Tong'er, who was blushing, gasped for breath, and before the woman comforted him, he burst into tears.

The madam was holding the little boy crying with snot and tears, and everyone onlookers chattered about the incident that the little boy almost suffocated just now, just when Hongxiu wanted to leave directly, from A dozen people rushed over from the shore of the pier.

Among them was a short, fat man with two beards running in front, everyone naturally saw that these dozen or so people must be the relatives of the woman and the little boy in front of them, so they consciously gave way.

The short and fat man came closer, and after calling the woman "Qiongniang", the woman, that is, Qiongniang, raised her head to look at the short and fat man. Scared.

"Baolang, he almost died"

The short and fat man, namely Liu Qing, listened to his daughter-in-law's incoherent words and the words of the people around him, and finally understood the whole story.

After traveling on the river for more than ten days, as soon as the boat docked, Baolang, a boy who had had enough of the boat, insisted on getting off the boat.

Liu Qing was still counting the goods in the cabin, seeing Baolang babbling, let Qiongniang take him off the boat to go shopping and buy some food.

Then, Qiongniang got off the boat with Baolang in her arms, and Baolang saw people buying glutinous rice to eat, so he yelled that he wanted to eat it too.

It was only a few copper coins of glutinous rice, so Qiongniang naturally paid for a portion.

Originally, Qiongniang just wanted to give Baolang a bite to taste, after all, this sticky food was a bit strenuous for a child whose teeth hadn't grown yet.

But when Qiongniang was handing the money to someone, Baolang grabbed the glutinous rice in the lotus leaf and ate it himself, and then an accident happened, and he choked.

In this way, Hongxiu and the others saw the scene of the woman screaming and trying to get the glutinous rice out of Baolang's mouth.

Knowing the whole story, Liu Qing hurriedly saluted Hongxiu deeply. Hongxiu wanted to avoid it, but there was no place beside him, so he had to accept this gift.

Before Hongxiu could speak, Liu Qing directly pulled Baolang who had stopped crying at this moment, and asked him to kneel and kowtow to Hongxiu, "Kneel down, if it wasn't for this lady, would you still be alive today?" It's hard to say."

Turning his head, Liu Qing said to Hongxiu again: "My lady must accept this gift from him, thanks to my lady's presence today.

This young gentleman of my family can save his life. "

Baolang doesn't understand, but Qiongniang understands, she teaches Baolang to kowtow to the red sleeve.

"This, this can't be done, can't be done"

In the end, Hongxiu was thanked by Baolang.

It was also from this moment that the three of Hongxiu began to have the help of noble people, so that the shop of the three of them could be opened smoothly, and the more it opened, the better.

Liu Qing is not an ordinary businessman, he only had a son in his forties, and this son is Baolang.

The importance of this little boy Baolang to Liu Qing can be known without words. After all, he was born after he was over forty years old.

Liu Qing also has some luck. Not to mention his travels from south to north, even the merchant ships going down the river have been to Yuhang (Zhejiang), even Minyue (Fujian). He has worked hard for more than ten years. Only then did I fight for such a family business.

Therefore, after learning that it was Hongxiu who rescued Baolang, Liu Qing rewarded Hongxiu with a large sum of money, saying, "My Liu family is just like this, and Baolang is really important to me.

If it wasn't for the lady who stepped forward to help, I, I really.
Therefore, I hope that the lady will accept the silver taels, so that I can feel better in my heart. "

But, where would Hongxiu want this money?

She refused all the time, and finally saw that she could not refuse, and said: "It's just a little effort, how can it be worth such a heavy reward?

If Liu Shang feels sorry, why don't you sell me some goods from the south?
The two sisters and I," Hongxiu glanced at Luyi and Yingge beside him, "opened a shop specializing in women's things.

It would be the best if we could buy some exquisite things that girls are used to or rare to sell.

In this way, it is Liu Shang's gratitude to me. "

Hongxiu rejected a huge amount of money and chose to establish a business relationship with Liu Qing. This choice seems very wise now.

Because Liu Qing's goods come from all over the Tang Dynasty, there are all kinds of goods. In the past, Liu Qing only sold the goods to the big merchants in Jiangnan, and he was even more powerful than the Jin family in the local area. .

And the big businessmen monopolized these goods, and they would only sell them to their own stores in various parts of Datang. For the middle and lower classes, it was difficult to buy good quality goods at a fair price.

But because of saving Liu Qing's only son, Hongxiu exchanged the credit for a small batch of goods, directly revitalizing his modest shop.

Under Liu Qing's suggestion, Hongxiu's pricing is no different from that of luxury merchants, and they still sell those exquisite goods in limited quantities, which can bring benefits to the middle and lower classes, and they also have the opportunity to buy things that can only be used by upper class people.

So, in just a few months, the tepid little shop of the three of Hongxiu directly became the favorite shop of all the women's families in the city.

With the help of a noble person like Liu Qing, Hongxiu smartly introduced the Jin family to Liu Qinglai.

The mistress of the Jin family was very satisfied with Hongxiu's approach, and directly asked the housekeeper Jin to open up more goods to Hongxiu, and even directly gave them out at cost price.

Therefore, when the end of the new year was approaching, when the three Hongxiu people who had some money in their hands gathered together to gossip, Yingge mentioned Li Sanniang who was far away in Chang'an City.

"We have done something now, why don't we invite someone to give the third lady some new year gifts?

Back then, if it wasn't for the benevolence of the third lady's doctor, we didn't know what would have happened? "

Yingge's words naturally won the approval of Hongxiu and Luyi, and the three of them met and discussed the purchase list of their own shop, what should be given to Li Sanniang as an annual gift.

At the same time as the New Year's gift, the three Hongxiu naturally wrote a long letter to Li Sanniang, telling Li Sanniang, a woman thousands of miles away, the details of the three of them after they left Chang'an.

Hongxiu, Luyi, and Yingge, three little girls who were sold by their biological parents since they were young, finally seized the opportunity and gained a foothold in this city because of luck and relying on themselves.

The three of them are going out now, and there will be a twitchy voice saying "that concubine who was let out by the Jin family", probably wanting to call "the shopkeeper".

It rained heavily, but it was a shower, and it was still hot after the rain.

I checked the calendar, and it turns out that the beginning of autumn is only on August 8th. Let’s wait, there are still more than half a month.
