Chapter 101 Daily Life in the Mansion (4)

In Rongqing Hall, although Jia Dairu was worried about his grandson's condition, at least he had the "Dushen Decoction", so he patiently sat down to accompany Jia Dairu. Mother talks.

Beside him, Jia Lian was also sitting, talking to Yingchun and others about his experiences and anecdotes during his more than a year away.

He only talked about the scenery outside the Great Wall and interesting humanistic stories, including swords, frost, swords, rain, and the tragic situation when he saw dozens of people dying in front of him for the first time. Of course, he didn’t mention a word.

After a while, Qingwen ran over panting, and everyone immediately looked at her.

Like Qingwen before, he frowned a little when he saw the bulging cloth bundle in Qingwen's arms.

Why don’t you just take two ginseng roots? Is this a good idea?

Qingwen didn’t care what others thought, she walked quickly to Jia Lian, handed the package to him, and said: "Second Master, I have brought Huang Shen..."
< br /> Jia Lian took it silently. Two stupid girls, one dares to give and the other dares to take. They don’t understand the principle of keeping wealth secret?

Speaking of which, in this era when ginseng was not grown, although ginseng was the best food and medicinal material, Jia Lian, as a descendant, naturally would not be superstitious about the medicinal power of ginseng.

But people at the time couldn’t help but believe that this thing was a panacea!

It can be said that whenever you treat a disease or prepare high-end pills, you must have this thing. Even small and inferior ginseng costs several taels of silver and one tael. The good ones are directly worth gold. , there is even no ceiling...

The price can basically be said to have been hyped up.

Therefore, Jia Lian didn’t care much about this thing, but he knew that it was valuable and the women at home were particularly rare, so he collected it and brought it back.

Although she felt that Qingwen was not very smart, she couldn’t hide everything she had brought, so she ordered the maids to bring up a tray.

At this time, Jia Mu could not help but ask: "Lian'er, are all the ginseng in your package?"

Jia Mu can be said to be the least qualified person in Rongguo Mansion. Those who lack ginseng must be treated with filial piety every year, and the palace will reward her with some.

But she cherishes this kind of thing very much. She keeps every tube well and takes it out only when dispensing medicine or when needed. Basically, it is for personal use. Except for Jia Baoyu and Daiyu, no one else, even Yingchun and others, can see it as long as they are not sick.

It’s hard for her to imagine that wrapping ginseng in coarse cloth is a rich act.

Jia Lian did not explain, but waited for the maid to come over with the tray, then put the packagePut it on the tray and spread it out...

Let them see it with their own eyes, and their visual sense will definitely be much stronger than saying it themselves.

"This..."

At this time, not to mention anyone else, even Jia Mu couldn't help but stand up and come over to take a look.

Even though Jia Mu had seen all kinds of precious ginseng, she was still shocked by the sight in front of her.

There are a lot of them, just a lot of them. The key is that they are all quite big. At a glance, there are no defective products less than one tael...

And , all fresh, no old ginseng.

Although ginseng can be stored for a long time, it is basically difficult to guarantee the medicinal effect after being stored for a few years, so fresh ginseng is even more precious.

Everyone gathered around. Those with higher status stood in front, while those with lower status automatically moved to the side. As a result, Jia Lian felt for a moment as if he was in a sea of ​​rouge and gouache. generally.

Jia Lian even thought that he should take a shower first and then come over. Although I washed it at a post station on the road yesterday, I was still stained with sweat after a long day's journey. If someone smelled it, it would damage my image as a handsome guy.

Especially, the wan sister-in-law was squeezed to his side...

But in fact, he was overly worried. At this time, everyone only saw the food in the tray. Treasure ginseng, nothing else to pursue.

In the end, Jia Mu was only briefly shocked. She raised her head and saw that the maids and women were all crowding in, and they were all in disgrace.

As soon as the old man glanced at her, the servants quickly backed away. Some of the blind ones were also dragged away by their companions...

Then Jia Mu said: "You really don't know how to cherish. How can such a good thing be preserved like this? Don't you feel bad if it is broken?"

Jia Lian smiled and replied: "I heard that the eldest master is ill, so I rushed back in a hurry. , I only have a few fast horses, so I can only carry them like this for convenience."

Everyone was relieved, it turned out to be for convenience. They just said, if Jia Lian didn't care about it, it would be great to give it to them...

Wang Xifeng had already declared her sovereignty, took the tray from the maid's hand, and held it herself.

The old scholar Jia Dairu in the back was naturally embarrassed to be crowded with a group of young girls, so he only waited for others to move away before he saw the mountain-like pile of yellow ginseng, and he was immediately overjoyed!

The grandson is saved...

After all, he keeps his identity and is embarrassed to come up to ask for it. He just waits for Jia Lian to take the initiative to fulfill his promise.

Jia Lian knew that the old man had strong self-esteem. To be honest, such an old man, it’s much better than being shameless and relying on one’s old age, so he smiled and said: “The ginseng is all here, Mr. Dai Ru is looking at it, you can take as much as you need.”

Jia Dairu’s face suddenly glowed red, and he said Thank Jia Lian and come up.

I wanted to shamelessly take two more, but when I saw Wang Xifeng staring straight at him with a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, I blushed. I was so embarrassed that I could only take three smaller ones, so I said something. He stopped...

Although the big one was better, the doctor said he should eat Dushen soup, so the small one was more practical for him. Moreover, to prevent others from thinking he was greedy, he didn’t spend any money.

When Jia Lian saw this, he felt more and more that such a pedantic old man was quite cute. He also thought that his life was tragic. He lost his father in his early years, his son in his middle age, and his grandson in his old age, so he picked it up again. Two big ones were delivered to his hands and he said with a smile: "Brother Rui is seriously ill. I should have gone to see him, but the elder is also seriously ill, so I'm afraid he won't be able to go. These few ginsengs should be treated as my brother." Just give me your thoughts.

Just take it and use it. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."

Jia Dairu was overjoyed, but he actually Just as he was thinking, he had brought twenty or thirty taels of silver with him to buy ginseng. If Jia Lian agreed, he would be willing to pay for some... although he knew that his little silver could not buy much.

Now looking at the nearly half a catty (eight taels) of ginseng in his arms, his hands were trembling with joy and emotion.

He looked at Jia Lian with tears in his eyes. He wanted to bow to Jia Lian, but was afraid that the ginseng in his arms would fall. When Jia Lian saw this and supported him, he choked and said: "Thank you very much. Brother, if Rui'er can survive through this, I will definitely ask him to come to you in person, kowtow to you, and thank you for saving your life..."

Jia Lian held Jia Dairu's hand. He was not allowed to be polite, but he thought in his heart that if he asked Jia Rui to kowtow, he would be too guilty to come!

The old couple Jia Dairu and his wife were counting on a grandson in their later years, so now that Jia Rui is dying, there is no need to elaborate on how they feel.

People in the hall couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw Jia Dairu's performance.

I feel that Jia Lian has really grown up and become successful, acting generously and respecting the elderly and the virtuous. In this way, I have completely forgotten all the ridiculous things Jia Lian did in the past. I just feel that the Jia family has Jia Lian like this. Your successor will surely have a prosperous future and a harmonious family.

Jia’s mother repeatedly comforted Jia Dairu with a few words. Because Jia Dairu was anxious, he didn't stay much and went with many thanks.

Here, Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng’s lips curled up because of his “wasting behavior”, so he couldn’t help but shave her lips.Come down.

Unexpectedly, this was in full public view, and many people saw it, and snickered in surprise. Therefore, Wang Xifeng was so embarrassed that she glared at Jia Lian, and then covered up her embarrassment and said: "It is not appropriate to leave it like this. I will take it home to get some guys and put them away properly..."

He wanted to leave, but felt that this would make Jia Mu and others think she was stingy, so he added: "Since you have made a fortune, there is no reason not to be filial to the old lady and my wife. When you go back and pack it up, you will naturally choose that one." The best, sent to the old lady and my wife."

This is Wang Xifeng's cunning. He is obviously afraid that Jia Lian will not be a master and will not know how expensive firewood and rice are. He will not be able to withstand other people's demands and give this to that. If you give it, won’t it be gone in two clicks? So take it away in advance.

Jia Mu sighed: "I don't need to send them here. I still have ginseng to use. He brought these back for your elder's treatment. You should keep them carefully first and prepare them." It’s for the great master. If he can really eat well, it will be a sign of his filial piety.”

Wang Xifeng then remembered the existence of Jia She, nodded quickly, and left with Qingwen.

Wang Xifeng is generous when doing things with public money. Once his private property is involved, no one will do it for a small family.

Although I feel that my wife is a little embarrassed, I have taken everything away and will not snatch it back.

So Jia Lian looked at Yingchun and others who were disappointed, and whispered: "Go back to my place, I have something better, I will give it to you alone..."
< br />Although Mother Jia didn’t hear the truth, she could tell by the joyful expressions of Yingchun and others, because she said to Yingchun and the others: “Don’t bother asking for it, that stuff is a great tonic. Yes, I am already very angry, so eating too much of that is not a good thing!"

Yingchun and others heard this and quickly responded.

Originally, they didn’t want to eat it, but they just saw good things slipping in front of their eyes, and it belonged to their brother. If they didn’t grab a portion, they always felt uncomfortable.

Jia Mu said to Jia Lian again: "You have come all the way back. You must be tired. There is nothing going on here. You should go back and rest."

"Yes. ."

Jia Lian stood up, said goodbye to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, and went out.
