Chapter 1,153: Insidious secrets of wealthy families, chance encounters on the street
Return to the hospital.
Su Mingzhe called the four boys and began to process the medicinal materials sent by Manager Xie.
I have to say that the royal family is really particular about loyalty and obedience.
When it comes to ginseng, the worst is the three to five hundred year old wild ginseng.
Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. are also top-grade among the top-grade.
An hour passed.
Su Mingzhe and his people had finished processing the medicinal materials.
Several maids also finished delivering jewelry and came back from outside looking unhappy.
When Su Mingzhe saw it, he felt curious and asked:
"What? When you go out to give gifts, are there people who would embarrass you?"
"Why not?"
Qiu Wen was about to complain, but was stopped by the attacker:
"Second Master, it's okay, my aunt may be in a bad mood, so we just caught up!"
"Aunt Zhao gave you a hard time?"
Su Mingzhe frowned slightly after hearing this.
The entire Rongguo Mansion is not in harmony.
Direct descendants like Su Mingzhe, who monopolize Jia Mu's favor, have blocked the way of many people.
For example, the lustful old man Jia She has been spying on the beautiful maid next to him for a long time.
Aunt Zhao and Brother Huan were also jealous of Su Mingzhe's status as his legitimate son.
In addition, there are some people who, either out of jealousy or interests, always want to bring misfortune to themselves.
However, Su Mingzhe thought that they were all one family, so as long as they didn't really offend him, he would let them go.
Now it seems that I am still too soft-hearted.
Seeing that his second master's face was slowly turning ugly, Xi Ren quickly held the man's hand and persuaded him, fearing that he might have another illness or cause trouble:
"Second Master, Aunt Zhao has such a temper. Don't get angry over these trivial things!"
"I'm not angry! I just hate them for not living up to expectations!"
Su Mingzhe noticed that the maids and servants were all looking at him in fear, so he quickly calmed down his expression, turned to Qingwen and said:
"Qingwen, it's time for dinner now. Bring the Hotan Jade Buddha statue and let's go to the backyard for dinner!"
Not long after, we arrived at Jia Mu’s backyard.
Su Mingzhe gave Jia Mu the Jade Buddha and an old ginseng that was in the best condition and was about seven or eight hundred years old.
Seeing her grandson being so filial to her, Mother Jia felt so happy that she even ate a few more bites of lunch.
Had lunch.
Before her grandson left, Jia Mu was so happy that she gave him two new maids.
Later, Su Mingzhe took Xiren to Mrs. Wang's place and presented her with rosary beads and an old ginseng that was about five hundred years old.
Mrs. Wang was filled with joy when she saw her son being so filial.
But she would not give her son a beautiful maid, so after much thought, she finally gave a pair of her jewelry to her son's roommate, Xiren.
Xiren got this jewelry, which was really sweeter than eating honey. He happily accompanied Su Mingzhe back to the courtyard.
If she hadn't just had her period, she would have wanted to make the man happy for a while.
At this time, the two new maids rewarded by Jia Mu also arrived.
These two girls are both young, only eight or nine years old, but they are really pretty.
Among them, the one named Liang'er has an oval face, fair skin, and long legs. Standing there, she looks like a new Qingwen, Sister Lin.
The one named Zhui'er has an oval face, a yellowish complexion, a bit thin figure, and looks weak and waxy. He must have just entered the house not long ago.
Seeing that the newcomer was so young, Su Mingzhe was not very interested, so he handed it over to She Yue and Tan Yun and asked them to teach him:
After making arrangements, he asked Xiren to get one hundred taels of silver for him and asked Li Gui to take it out.
Xiren heard this and asked in confusion:
"Second Master, what are you doing with your money? You don't have anything at home, so you still need money to buy it outside?"
"Well, the quality of the medicinal materials brought by Manager Xie is so good. We don't have many that can be used in our house. I'll go out and buy some to avoid making useless elixirs and ruining my reputation."
Su Mingzhe answered casually, and then he and Li Gui took the horses from the stable and went straight to the nearby drug store.
After visiting two drug stores, Su Mingzhe bought the medicine and was about to go back when suddenly Li Gui called out:
"Second Master, I really want to see Miss Ping'er!"
"Miss Ping'er? Sister Feng's maid, Miss Ping'er?"
Su Mingzhe was slightly startled, and looked in the direction Li Gui pointed, and he saw a graceful and beautiful maid in a long skirt, walking forward with her head lowered.
Counting the time, Su Mingzhe has not seen Wang Xifeng and Heping'er for nearly two months since Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng broke up and wanted to reconcile.
Now seeing Su Mingzhe outside the house, he was still a little surprised:
"Li Gui, this is not close to my uncle's house, right? What do you think Ping'er is doing here?"
Li Gui is an honest man. After hearing what his second master said, he could only shake his head and say:
"Second Master, do you want me to go up and ask?"
"I'd better go!"
Su Mingzhe handed the horse to Li Gui, drove a few steps himself, and stopped Ping'er at a corner:
"Ping'er, do you... live nearby?"
"Second Master Bao——"
Ping'er was extremely happy to see Su Mingzhe, an acquaintance of his, and quickly wished him a happy blessing:
"Yes, my grandma and I live here now."
Su Mingzhe looked at the narrow alley and suddenly had a guess in his mind:
"Didn't Sister Feng go back to her uncle's house? Could it be that... Cousin Ren kicked you out?"
Ping'er didn't answer, but nodded silently.
Wang Ren is the son of Su Mingzhe's uncle and Wang Xifeng's eldest brother.
In the movie, this cruel uncle sold his niece, Sister Qiao, into Fireworks Alley.
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
But this plot happened when Wang Xifeng was in jail and waiting to die, and Wang Ziteng was also dead. Wang Ren was shameless and did something shady.
Now that Wang Ziteng is still alive, how dare Wang Ren kick his sister out of the house?
Ping'er saw Su Mingzhe's doubts and could only answer with a wry smile:
"After the Chinese New Year, the second master went out to Beijing to patrol the border. The second wife also took her family with her. Now it is Uncle Ren who is in charge of the house. He said that our grandma had disgraced the Wang family and refused to let my grandma return.
I live in my parents' house. After leaving Rongguo Mansion, my grandma and I went to Shuiyue An to stay for a few days. I just sold a house here a few days ago and plan to live here temporarily. When the second master comes back, I will let the second master give it to me.
We call the shots!”
Do you want Wang Ziteng to make the decision for you?
You may not be able to wait any longer!
Su Mingzhe remembered that Wang Ziteng was patrolling the border this time and was taking over the military power on behalf of the Supreme Emperor.
Two or three years later, the Supreme Emperor died suddenly, and Emperor Longqing recruited Prince Teng to return to the capital to report on his duties.
As a result, on the way back, Wang Ziteng, who had always been in good health, died suddenly.
Therefore, if Wang Xifeng and Heping'er want to wait for Prince Teng to make the decision for themselves, they may face great difficulties.
At this time, Li Gui came over with his horse.
Ping'er was also curious and asked:
"Second Master Bao, what are you doing out here?"
"Come out and buy some medicine."
Su Mingzhe told the story of how he wanted to make elixirs for Prince Zhongshun.
When Ping'er heard 'buy medicine', his face changed slightly, his expression stiffened for a moment, and he suddenly opened his mouth to invite:
"Second Master Bao, our new residence is just ahead. Come in, have a sip of tea, and identify the door!"
"That's fine."
Su Mingzhe and Wang Xifeng are cousins after all. They are already at the door. It would be unreasonable not to pay a visit.
Not long after.
The three of them arrived at Wang Xifeng's new residence.
When Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian, she received a large dowry. In addition to thousands of acres of farmland, there were also 20 boxes of dowry worth at least 100,000 guan.
With this money, Wang Xifeng not only bought a two-entry courtyard, but also bought several servants.
There is an old couple living in the front yard, who are usually responsible for some menial tasks.
In the backyard lived Wang Xifeng, Heping'er, Feng'er, and a pair of little girls named Pianzi.
As soon as Su Mingzhe and Li Gui entered the door, they heard the barking of seven or eight dogs, which made Li Gui tremble in fright.
Upon seeing this, Ping'er quickly apologized:
"It frightened the second master and your brother. My grandma and I are both female-born and can only keep a few dogs to look after the house!"
“Not bad!”
Su Mingzhe asked Li Gui to fasten the horse and stay in the front yard to rest. He followed Ping'er to the backyard to meet Sister Feng, whom he had not seen for a long time.
