Chapter 100 Daily Life in the Mansion (3-Getting Rich)

Jia Lian had been thoughtful when he heard that Jia Rui was ill.

If his prediction was good, it was probably because he wanted to put a hat on him, so he was taken care of by his Feng'er!

Thinking of this, Jia Lian didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh. This idiot Jia Rui has no qualifications to make people angry!

In fact, because Wang Xifeng had to take care of the house, her brother-in-law and nephews could not avoid being suspicious of her every day. She was the young mistress in the entire Jia family who had the greatest chance of cheating.

But Jia Lian did not doubt her at all, because Jia Lian was convinced that Wang Xifeng was definitely more observant of women than any other person at this point.

Jia Lian knew very well that Wang Xifeng was a man with a romantic appearance but a conservative heart.

At the beginning, he didn’t even know how much thought he put into trying to get Wang Xifeng to change his tricks to cater to him. In the end, he relied on brute force to do it.

Women like Wang Xifeng are not promiscuous by nature.

In the original work, even Ping'er said that Wang Xifeng himself stood upright, so he had high demands on Jia Lian.

I have also seen Jia Rui’s boy Jia Lian. Although he is not handsome, he is still a young man of 17 or 18 years old. Just because he dared to have disrespectful thoughts towards Wang Xifeng, he was killed by Wang Xifeng. Deal with it with deadly force.

It can be said that if Wang Xifeng had a little evil intention, even if he looked down on Jia Rui, he would not have done so thoroughly.

After all, as long as she indulges a little bit, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang may take advantage of the opportunity... What a good guide for Jia Rong and Jia Qiang. Chance!

Unfortunately, Wang Xifeng chose to be beaten to death with a stick, so naturally Jia Rong and Jia Qiang did not dare to have other thoughts. Jia Rong himself also said: "Second Aunt Lian is so strong, but Uncle Rui still dares to think about her."

It can be seen that it is a fallacy for some people to speculate that Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong are unclear. If Jia Rong really had an affair with Wang Xifeng, he would not use the word "strong" to describe Wang Xifeng when he was flirting with the maid.

After thinking about this, Jia Lian didn't feel at all that Wang Xifeng was responsible for dealing with Jia Rui, or that she was cruel, and was even a little relieved.

This woman finally has a cute side.

Seeing Wang Xifeng looking at him for help, Jia Lian raised his eyebrows at her.

Silly woman, I finally thought of myself.

So when the situation was most unfavorable to Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian stood up, smiled at Jia Mu and Jia Dairu and said:

"This year's weather is colder than in previous years. I think every government has more demand for good ginseng. They want it here and there, even if our government doesn't have enough.

However, since brother Rui is seriously ill and needs to be saved, we should not ignore it no matter what.

Since there is no one in the house, so be it. I just brought him from the border. I came back with a lot of ginseng, most of which were seized on the battlefield. Some of them were specially given to me by my uncle when he heard that my father was seriously ill. I will send someone to take some out and give them to my uncle."

Jia Dairu originally thought that Jia Lian didn’t want to give it to him after hearing what he said before, and then he became overjoyed.

The Central Plains generally does not produce ginseng. Those good ginsengs come from the deep mountains and old forests and the bitter cold places in the Northeast.

Moreover, ginseng is also divided into grades. The things Jia Lian brought back all the way from the border to save his father must not be bad.

So he bowed quickly, thanked him, and said: "It's just that this is what your master wants to use. I took it. Wouldn't it be bad..."

This is a common problem among rotten literati. They want to grab something immediately, and they even have to be pretentious.

"It doesn't matter, I brought quite a lot of that stuff."

Jia Lian said, sweeping his eyes around the hall, and happened to see Qing Qing, who was poking his head. Wen immediately said: "Go to the back of my study and find a sister named Aqin. Tell her my instructions and ask her to send some high-quality yellow ginseng."

Qingwen asked suspiciously She asked, "Is she the Tatar woman who came back with me today?"

Qingwen had been secretly spying on Jia Lian for a long time when he returned home, as had Aqi and Aqin. She was the first to find out and ran to inform Wang Xifeng.

Seeing Jia Lian nodding, he went happily.

In the hall, although Jia Mu had some ginseng stored by herself, she was willing to listen to Jia Lian at this time and pretend that she didn't have any, so as to maintain everyone's face.

Seeing that Jia Mu’s expression softened, Wang Xifeng felt relieved, and then began to feel distressed again...

The best yellow ginseng would cost at least a dozen taels if left outside. One tael of silver, if it's of good appearance and big body, it's a sky-high price. It's really heartbreaking to give it away like this.

I thought for a while that the heartless guy had really grown up and knew how to bring good things home. I was just afraid that he was bragging. Good things like that are hard to come by. He could How much of it is just to save face.

Everyone had their own thoughts on Jia Lian’s words, but Jia Baoyu’s focus was particularly different, and his reaction was also different.Extra fast.

He walked up to Jia Lian and said, "Brother Lian, you said you brought a Tatar daughter back?"

Don't get me wrong, Jia Baoyu is actually nothing special. mean.

He was just curious.

After what happened with Qingwen and Xiangling, Jia Baoyu already believed in Jia Lian's taste.

He thought to himself that the woman that Jia Lian could bring back would definitely not be an ordinary woman, let alone a slut?

This has only been seen on the stage!

When Jia Baoyu said this, the attention of the people in the hall also focused.

Jia Lian said: "Predecessors have said that people suffer in rise and fall. When wars occur, the people at the border are also the ones who suffer. Not only our people in the Wei Dynasty, but also the Tatars.
/>
She is a girl from a small tribe whose family was ruined. I saw her on the battlefield and saved her."

When Jia Lian said this, everyone could not help but sigh.

The cruelty of war, even if you have not seen it with your own eyes, can make the group of pampered women in the room shudder just by imagining it.

This is also the reason why they are unwilling to let the men at home go to the battlefield.

Even Baochai beside him couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Jia Lian.

Baochai, who was well-read in poetry and books, was surprised that Jia Lian, who was rumored to be uneducated, could have such insights and feelings.

From this point of view, he must have really been on the battlefield, otherwise, he would not have said such words.

…

On this side, Qingwen quickly found the rightful owner.

At this time, Ping'er was still arranging for people to decorate the house for A Qi and A Qin.

Ping'er originally wanted to clean up two rooms for them, but the other party said that they only needed one room and the two sisters could live together.

So Ping'er packed up the most spacious room and ordered someone to move a cabinet in the corner to prepare another bed.

Ping'er does things properly.

Seeing Qingwen coming, Ping'er asked what was going on.

Qingwen was originally thinking that it would be difficult to communicate with foreign women, but when she saw Ping'er there, she immediately became happy and told her why she was here.

Ping'er brought Qingwen over to explain to Ah Qin.

The woman named Ah Qin was not suspicious either. After all, except for Jia Lian and others, no one else knew there was ginseng in her package.

Because he asked Jia Lian how much he wanted.

Qingwen was stuck. She was happy to see the second master patronizing her, but she didn't hear clearly how much he wanted.

It seems to say "a few", but how much is a few?

So he said shamelessly: "The second master said to take them all. If you don't use them, just take them back."

A Qin looked at her unexpectedly and thought that this If the girl looks like this, she must have a status in the house, and she shouldn't dare to be greedy, so she opened the heavy package, took out one of the silk-wrapped packages, and placed it on the table.

When Qingwen saw it, she couldn’t help but frown and thought: “Who doesn’t know that ginseng is very expensive, but any good-quality ginseng should be well preserved. The larger ones are even carefully sealed in sandalwood boxes. ...It looks like a big package wrapped in linen, who can believe it?"

In order to avoid being deceived, you have to go up and check if it is real.

Sister Aqin didn’t stop her, but Qingwen originally thought the package would be very thick, but unexpectedly it was only one layer. As soon as she opened it with her hand, there were round guys with many tentacles inside. It spilled out and almost covered the table.

This time, let alone Qingwen, even Ping'er's eyes widened for a moment.

Those women who were busy cleaning up the house immediately gathered around and exclaimed: "My God, are all these possible?"

Those who are brave , and even picked one up and took a closer look to see if it was a fake yellow radish...

"Oh my God, they are really fresh ginseng, and they are so big. I'm afraid there are so many. How many kilograms is it? If you sell this outside, how much money will it cost?!"

The price of ginseng varies greatly depending on the grade.

The better, the more ridiculously expensive it is.

In previous years, the imperial court also distributed various kinds of ginseng to the families of officials and nobles. Those with excellent appearance and grade would be converted into year-end benefits at the cost of fifty or sixty taels of silver. In this way, One pound costs almost one thousand taels of silver.

I heard that there is a top-notch one, which is even more difficult to find.

The ladies on the table didn’t know enough about them to know how much they were worth, but in short they were not something they could afford.

Ah Qin didn’t feel the same as them. On the grassland, ginseng was not so valuable.

Jia Lian defeated a medium-sized tribe in Yachaha and seized a lot of things. He didn't want much else, but he kept the ginseng and gave it to her for safekeeping.

When I came to Jia’s house today, I received more or less contemptuous looks. At this time, Ah QinSeeing their shocked expressions, Hou also wanted to show off, flipping through the package and saying, "These are yellow ginseng. I also have white ginseng here and a very small amount of red ginseng. Do you want to take these too?"< br />
Upon hearing that there was more, Ping'er and others didn't know what to say.

It turned out that Second Master Dao was going to suffer, but it turned out that he got rich!

Qingwen also came to her senses at this time, and snatched back the ginseng that the women were reluctant to let go of, put it into the package and put it away. While packing, she said: "No need, those You can keep it, the second master just asked for yellow ginseng."

When Ping'er saw Qingwen running away with something in her arms, she hurriedly ordered the two women to follow her, as if she was afraid that others would snatch her away.

It’s not that Qingwen is greedy for ink, but that if she loses it along the way, it will be very distressing.
