Best Son-in-law

"You're still hiding it from me." Kong Lao pointed at Li Fan happily and shook his head, but his eyes were full of love: "You, you, forget it, since you don't want to say it, then I will say it clearly. ”

"This Zixiangge is rare in the world. Even the seniors who have spent their whole lives studying the classics of traditional Chinese medicine have never heard of it. How do you know it in such detail? The experimental results are out. The efficacy and medicinal value of this Zixiangge are as good as yours." What you said is the same, do you have anything else to say?"

"There's no need to hide it from me. You're from a noble family." Mr. Kong held the teapot and his voice suddenly became heavier.

"Aristocratic family?" Li Fan still couldn't understand, his eyes were full of confusion.

"Oh, I understand. Aristocratic families have their own rules. There are rules everywhere. If there are no rules, there will be no rules. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but you have to tell me everything about this thing. Did you bring it from your family?" Mr. Kong asked solemnly.

"No, Mr. Kong, I'm not from an aristocratic family. Don't get me wrong. I'm from Laoshantun in our county. You can find out. This Zixiangge is really the first big book I've read without a cover before. There are some in the thick book, and we happened to meet each other. It's all fate. As for the aristocratic family you mentioned before, I don't even know what it is." Li Fan said with a wry smile.

No wonder he was so grand before. He mistakenly thought that he was from a noble family. Although Li Fan didn't understand what the noble family represented, he could tell from Mr. Kong's words that this noble family was probably an extremely powerful wealthy family. .

Mr. Kong didn't look at Li Fan as if he was lying to him, and he felt a little puzzled: "Are you really not from a noble family?"

"No, I'm just a farmer in the countryside." Li Fan explained.

"That's weird." Mr. Kong touched his chin and looked at Li Fan with sharp eyes. He couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"A big thick book without a cover? Which book is it?"

"I can't tell you this. I already told you that there is no cover." Li Fan smiled broadly.

"Oh." Mr. Kong restrained his expression, chuckled twice, and his eyes became softer: "Maybe I misunderstood this, but little brother, you are still a distinguished guest of my Tongji Pharmacy, no matter whether you are from aristocratic family or not. people."

"Thanks to Mr. Kong for never giving up, I'm very grateful. I'm curious about one thing, which family does this refer to?" Li Fan asked in confusion.

"Oh, talking about this family is a long story. Do you know the Weng family, a family of Chinese medicine?" Mr. Kong's tone relaxed immediately.

"The Weng family? Is this the family of Mr. Weng Qishu and Mr. Weng Qishu?" Li Fan thought of his apprentice Weng Qishu. He was busy every day and had no time to contact him.

"Do you know Mr. Weng?" Mr. Kong glanced at Li Fan in surprise.

"Mr. Weng is well-known throughout Yannan, and I have heard about it a little bit." Li Fan said softly. He also knew in his heart that he could not tell that Weng Qishu was his disciple. Sometimes, he might not is a good thing.

There are too many involved, and it would be too ostentatious to show one's identity, which could easily make oneself the target of public criticism.

Li Fan is also a low-key person. He doesn't like to do anything too ostentatious, so he avoids certain things if possible.

Moreover, he is not someone who relies on the reputation of his apprentice, so it seems too worthless to always mention Weng Qishu in his mouth.

"Hahaha, Mr. Weng is indeed the face of our traditional Chinese medicine community in Yannan, but if he is placed in Yanbei, it won't matter if he is not nice." When Mr. Kong just said this, his eyes were filled with tears. He expressed his respect for Weng Qishu, but soon his eyes became helpless.

"The difference between Yannan and Yanbei is too big."

"Isn't Yan Bei also a Chinese medicine doctor? How big a gap can there be between these Chinese medicine doctors?" Li Fan felt a little unhappy when he heard Mr. Kong exaggerating Yan Bei like this, but he didn't show it.

"Hahaha... The TCM community in Yannan is compared to that in Yanbei just like a candlelight is compared to the bright moon, or a firefly detects the sunlight. They are not on the same level at all. I don't care about my shortcomings, and our TCM doctors in Yannan are really not comparable. Shang Yanbei, the gap is too big, it is no different from a baby standing in front of an adult." Mr. Kong's tone was also quite helpless.

"Is it because of the aristocratic family?" Li Fan couldn't help but clicked after hearing Mr. Kong say so many words of praise for Yanbei's traditional Chinese medicine community.

"This brings you to the point. It's because of the family of traditional Chinese medicine. Our Yannan family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine that can't get on the stage. Their ancestors' inheritance is limited, and their medical skills are also limited. Sometimes it seems that the limitations of traditional Chinese medicine are too great. , so our traditional Chinese medicine in Yannan can’t even compare with Western medicine, and that’s why.”

"It's not that Chinese medicine is weak at all, it's simply that they are not good at studying and have forgotten all the treasures left by their ancestors. These Chinese medicine doctors have only scratched the surface, and of course they are no better than Western medicine."

"But this aristocratic family is different. The aristocratic family has passed it down from generation to generation. In summary, they have learned almost everything left by their ancestors. Even if they have not learned it, there are records in ancient books, but these are things that cannot be passed on to others."

"As for why, you should be able to understand. In ancient times, the status of doctors was not high. They went out to practice medicine not only to save lives and heal the wounded, but also for their own jobs. There was also competition between doctors, so in order to ensure that future generations would have money and food available. , can be admired and loved by others, these medical skills have become the secrets of the family. Over time, this has formed a rule, and the skills of traditional Chinese medicine have also been continuously improved among the children of these traditional Chinese medicine families, and slowly carried forward. , now it has become a complete system.”

"It is precisely because of this system of Chinese medicine that the status of a family of Chinese medicine has risen. Especially now, if you make friends with a family of Chinese medicine, it is equivalent to having an extra life. Which wealthy family thinks that they have a long life?"

"There are countless connections between this wealthy family and the aristocratic family. It can be said that they are inextricably linked, and a single move can affect the whole body. Those wealthy families will not sit back and watch the aristocratic family collapse, because it is related to their lifespan." Mr. Kong's voice was low. said.

"So there is such a thing." Li Fan suddenly realized, and suddenly he didn't understand. He quickly asked: "Since Mr. Weng is a member of the Weng family, why did he come to Yannan? The Weng family in Yanbei is not afraid that he will take Weng into his hands." Will our medical skills spread?"

"Actually, Mr. Weng Qishu Weng can only be regarded as an abandoned son of the Weng family. He only has the name of the Weng family, but does not have the real talents and knowledge passed down by the Weng family. It may not sound good, but this is the fact."

"It's impossible to show off some of the medical skills of the Weng family. No one knows what level they can achieve. We only know that when someone is seriously ill, they send him to his family, and he can receive a healthy person in a few days. "

"We can only see so much of this aristocratic family. We don't even know how deep the water inside is."

"The abandoned son of the Weng family, Weng Qishu, is already a leader in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Yannan. He has not had much exposure to the core traditional Chinese medicine skills of the Weng family. Think about how terrifying the Weng family is." Kong Lao shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"It's indeed scary, but I don't understand how someone as powerful as Mr. Weng could be an abandoned son of the Weng family?" Li Fan asked in confusion.

"No one knows the secret behind this, and there are many rumors. There is no way to make a final conclusion. If you really want to ask, you can only ask Mr. Weng. But according to my guess, the Weng family should have many factions in the forest. Mr. Weng was squeezed out."

"I see that Mr. Weng still contacts the Weng family sometimes, and the Weng family has not completely severed ties with him. Both parties recognize each other, and the relationship is not so tense. This shows that Mr. Weng still has the Weng family in his heart, and the Weng family It also provided Mr. Weng with some protection from the family."

"I have also gotten to know Mr. Weng, and I found that he is not suitable to lead a family. He is very benevolent. When he sees others in danger, he wants to lend a hand to help. But in general, the operation of a family requires the exchange of conditions. , I help you treat, you owe me a favor or do me a favor, so that we can maintain a family of traditional Chinese medicine and ensure our status."

"If it depends on Mr. Weng's temperament, it is estimated that the Weng family will be gone in less than 20 years. Ci can't control the army. The head of the Weng family should know this situation, so he simply won't teach Mr. Weng the medical skills of the Weng family. Instead, let him learn a little bit and then let him out and let him find another way to make a living."

"In this way, Mr. Weng created a world in our Yannan and took root." Mr. Kong talked about the deeds of the Weng family as if he had experienced it himself.

"Mr. Kong, you are so knowledgeable about aristocratic families." Li Fan said with a smile on his face.

"Actually, I can't say this research, it's just a random guess out of curiosity. People outside the city want to see what's like in the city, and maybe people in the city want to go outside the city. They both think the other is good." Mr. Kong said with a smile.

Having said this, he paused for a while: "Now do you know how many benefits it will bring to make friends with a noble family?"

"Befriend the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family will not only treat you, they may also use their own network power, which is powerful, so no one dares to offend people from the aristocratic family. The reason why Mr. Weng is so respected is actually This is part of the reason." After Mr. Kong finished speaking, he looked at Li Fan sharply, his eyes unblinking.

He wanted to see the clues from Li Fan's eyes.

But Li Fan looked as usual, which made him very disappointed.

Mr. Kong thought to himself: "That's wrong. How could this kid not be from a noble family? I think only people from aristocratic families in the world know all about such a rare medicinal material, right?"

As for what Li Fan said about reading a thick book without the cover, Mr. Kong could only sneer at it. He didn't believe this lie at all.

Before I changed my attitude, I also thought that Li Fan might be related to a family of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Oh, forget it, even if this is a member of the aristocratic family, it is impossible for him to admit rashly. He has made plans today. There will be many days of contact in the future. If he wants to have a good relationship with the aristocratic family, it is not bad. For a moment." Mr. Kong looked at Li Fan's expression and suddenly became a little frustrated. It seemed that he would not get any results from this question.
