Chapter 839 841【Return to Cangzhou】
In the next few days, Xiang Nan kept staring at the newspaper, wondering if there was any news about Yuan Shikai's assassination.
After reading it for several months, Xiang Nan couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. He guessed that Lu Zhengming read the letter he had left, accepted his advice, and escaped.
Since this is the case, Xiang Nan no longer worries about him, and lives his life steadily.
He opened a pharmacy and a restaurant. The following year, he also opened his own pharmaceutical factory. The Baihuayou, Shellweisan, Huoluo You, Huichun Pills, etc. produced by them are very popular in the south, and within a few years, they have accumulated more than 100,000 capital.
Although he has made a fortune, he still keeps a low profile, and all business matters are left to Smith. My family hides behind and doesn't show off when they have money. They only use it to buy and build buildings, and collect rent to make money.
In the second year in Macau, Sai Xishi became pregnant again. In the same year, Rockchip also became pregnant. Yu'er was also arranged to marry Defu as a concubine.
Ruixin entered the palace as a maid at the age of ten, and learned the rules of the three cardinal guides and five constant rules. Although he stayed in Macau for more than a year, his thoughts are still quite old-fashioned, so he did not object to Telford taking concubines.
The next year, Sai Xishi gave birth to a son, Xiang Nan named Xicaiming. Cassia is also a kind of medicinal material, which has the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight. Xiang Nan hopes that he can see the world clearly and walk his own way.
Rockchip gave birth to a daughter, and Telford named her Zhang Xinyi. Magnolia magnolia is also a kind of medicinal material, famous magnolia, purple magnolia, and Wangchun flower. He also hopes that his daughter will grow up healthy and have a smooth life. All hardships will be turned into smooth roads.
In the next two years, Yuer and Ruixin gave birth to two more children for Defu. One male and one female are named Zhang Lingxiao and Zhang Yuzhu respectively.
Lingxiao is not only an ornamental flower, but also a traditional Chinese medicinal material, which has the effects of promoting blood circulation, promoting menstruation, dispelling wind and relieving pain. Defu hopes that his son will be high-spirited and become a talent that can be cultivated.
Polygonatum odoratum is also a kind of medicinal material, which has the functions of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst. Defu hopes that his daughter is both beautiful and as strong as a bamboo.
With the birth of the children, the Xi family and the Zhang family gradually grow stronger.
While they were growing up, Xiang Nan also made great efforts to cultivate them.
Not only let them learn Chinese medicine knowledge, but also let them learn mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, English, Portuguese and other knowledge.
Barbarism is its body, civilization is its mind.
…
In this way, a few years passed in a hurry.
In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Manchu Qing monarchy and established the Republic of China.
"Telfu, I want to go back to the capital." Xiang Nan said to Telford.
"Master, we have been in Macau for thirteen years, and we have settled down here, so why go back to the capital?" Defu asked puzzled.
They spent a lot of time in the capital, and they only stayed for more than a year. If they have feelings, they have feelings. But to say how deep it is, it really doesn't count. Like him, he doesn't miss the capital very much.
"I want to go back and see Prince Jing. The prince treated me well back then. It can be said that he was respected by Duke Zhou. But I left without saying goodbye. I always feel sorry for him. I want to go and see how he is now. .” Xiang Nan explained.
"Hey, master, why do you still want to see him. He has been under house arrest for more than ten years, and he must have died long ago." Defu curled his lips and said, "Besides, I still have so many things here."
"Defu, let's accompany your master to go back and have a look. The older a person is, the more he misses the old, and the more he wants to see the old people. To be honest, I want to go back and have a look. I don't know if the things I didn't take away are still there. ?” Hu Suhua said.
"Yes, I also want to go back. I don't know if my food is the sky, it has not opened yet." Sai Xishi said with emotion.
"Defu, I also want to go back and see Princess. I don't know who she married, and how she is doing now." Rockchip also said.
"Father, I also want to go to the capital to see what the Forbidden City looks like." Zhang Yuzhu and Zhang Lingxiao also booed when they heard this.
"Yes, Master." Defu replied.
…
The family immediately returned to the north by boat.
After landing from Jinmen, the group first went to Cangzhou.
Seeing that he hasn't come back for more than ten years, he laughed. Xiang Nan's family was quite surprised that the plaque of Shiweitian was still hanging, and the houses of Yixiaotang and Shiweitian were still there without being ruined.
"What's going on here? I thought that if I haven't come back for more than ten years, this place has already become a den of beggars." Hu Suhua said in surprise.
Ordinary houses, if no one takes care of them, will be taken by beggars if they are vacant for two months. In these years of war and chaos, the Qing court was changed to the Republic of China, but the houses are still there, which is really strange.
"Who are you looking for? This family has already left." At this time, someone stuck his head out from the shop next door and said.
"Hey, second son, it's you~" Defu had sharp eyes and recognized the man at a glance.
It was the second son who was an apprentice next door more than ten years ago. They were young at that time and often played together.
"Are you... Defu?!" The man froze, took a closer look, and immediately recognized it.
"It's not me." Defu said happily.
"You are Doctor Xi, you are the boss's wife, you are Boss Sai, and you are Sister Yu'er..." At this time, the second son recognized Xiang Nan, Hu Suhua, Sai Xishi and others. Shouted, "Everyone, come out and see, Xi Langzhong is back~~"
After he shouted, people from the whole street gathered around.
"Xi Langzhong, you are really back."
"Xi Langzhong, thank you for saving my life!"
"Xi Langzhong, you are really our great benefactor in Cangzhou."
Everyone is excited and authentic.
It turned out that after the plague more than ten years ago, the people of Cangzhou were grateful and respected Xiang Nan.
Originally, the villagers had agreed to send a gold plaque to Xiang Nan to show their gratitude. But he didn't expect that after arriving in the capital, he knew that Xiang Nan's family had disappeared.
No choice, the villagers had to come back and set up a shrine for them outside the city. Moreover, they also spontaneously protected Food for the Sky and Yixiaotang from being occupied by beggars.
Thus more than ten years later, the house not only did not become a den of beggars, but still stood as before.
Hearing these words, Xiang Nan couldn’t help being filled with emotion when he went outside the city to see his ancestral hall. The Chinese people are so kind.
A little favor, they can remember it so clearly, it really touched him.
"Xi Langzhong, where have you been all these years?" Chen Pi, a drug dealer, asked curiously, he is also very old now.
However, he still remembers clearly the deeds of curing the plague, offering strange prescriptions, and saving Cangzhou.
Xiang Nan then recounted how his family avoided disaster in Macau.
"Miraculous doctor Xi is really clever." Everyone admired when they heard it.
More than ten years ago, he guessed that the political reform had failed and the capital was in chaos, so he went to Macau in advance. He was so wise that the villagers had to admire him.
