Jia Lian was thoughtful when he heard that Jia Rui was ill.
If his prediction was correct, it was probably because he wanted to give him a hat, so he was taken care of by his Feng'er!
Thinking of this, Jia Lian didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
In fact, because Wang Xifeng had to take care of the house, she could not avoid being suspicious of her brother-in-law and nephew 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 in this regard.
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 do two tricks to suit 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 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 seventeen or eighteen years old. Just because he dared to have disrespectful thoughts towards Wang Xifeng, he was killed by Wang Xifeng.
It can be said that if Wang Xifeng had a little evil intention, even if she didn't like Jia Rui, she wouldn't have done it 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 great opportunity to guide Jia Rong and Jia Qiang!
Unfortunately, Wang Xifeng chose to beat her to death with a stick, so Jia Rong and Jia Qiang naturally 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 not clear. 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 Jia Lian stood up when the situation was most unfavorable to Wang Xifeng, smiled at Jia Mu and Jia Dairu and said:
"This year's weather is much colder than in previous years. I think every government has more demand for good ginseng, here and there, even if our government doesn't have enough.
But since Brother Rui is seriously ill and needs to be saved, we shouldn't ignore him no matter what.
Since there is no ginseng in the house, so be it. I have just brought back a lot of ginseng from the border. Most of them were seized on the battlefield. There are also some ginseng that my uncle specially brought back to me for use when he heard that my father was seriously ill.
Just send someone to take out some and give it to the master."
Jia Dairu originally heard Jia Lian's previous words and thought he didn't want to give it to him, but 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 from the border all the way 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 the thing immediately and even show off.
"It doesn't matter, I brought quite a lot of that stuff."
As Jia Lian spoke, he glanced around the hall and caught sight of Qingwen poking her head around. He immediately said, "Go to the back of my study to find a sister named Aqin. Tell her my instructions and ask her to send some high-quality yellow sticks."
Come join us."
Qingwen asked suspiciously: "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. She was the first to discover Aqi and Aqin 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 costs at least ten taels of silver or one tael when placed outside. If it is of good quality and has a large body, it will be exorbitantly expensive. It is really distressing to give it away like this.
I thought for a moment that the heartless guy has really grown up and even knows how to bring good things home. I'm just afraid that he is bragging. Good things like that are hard to come by. He can only have as much as he wants 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 particularly quick.
He walked up to Jia Lian and said, "Second brother Lian, you said you brought back a Tatar daughter?"
Don't get me wrong, Jia Baoyu actually has no special meaning.
He's 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, not to mention a slutty one?
This has only been seen on stage!
When Jia Baoyu said this, everyone in the palace also focused their attention.
Jia Lian said: "Predecessors have said that people suffer in rise and fall. When wars occur, the people in the border areas suffer. Not only our people in the Wei Dynasty, but also the Tatars.
She was 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.
Even if you haven't seen the cruelty of war with your own eyes, just imagining it can make the group of pampered women in the room shudder.
This is also the reason why they are unwilling to let their men go to war.
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's work is indeed appropriate.
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 strands", but how many strands are there?
So he said shamelessly: "Second Master said to take them all. If you can't use them, just take them back."
Aqin glanced at her unexpectedly and thought that this girl looked so good. She must have a status in the house and would not dare to be greedy. Therefore, she opened the heavy package and took out one of the silk-wrapped packages.
,put it on the table.
Qingwen couldn't help frowning when she saw it: "Who doesn't know that ginseng is very expensive, but any good-quality ginseng should be well preserved. The larger ones are carefully sealed in sandalwood boxes... just like they are wrapped in linen.
A big bag, who would believe it?"
In order to avoid being deceived, you should go up and check whether it is real.
Sister Aqin didn't stop her, but Qingwen thought the package would be very thick, but she didn't know it was only one layer. As soon as she opened it with her hand, the round things with many tentacles spilled out, almost covering it.
a table.
This time, let alone Qingwen, even Ping'er's eyes widened for a moment.
The women who were busy cleaning up the house immediately gathered around and exclaimed: "Oh my god, are all these things possible?"
Those who were brave enough picked one up and took a closer look to see if it was a fake yellow radish...
"Oh my God, these are really fresh ginseng, and they are so large. I'm afraid it weighs a few kilograms! If you sell these outside, how much money will you need to exchange for them?!"
Ginseng prices vary 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 honorable nobles. The quality and grade of the ginseng were very good, and the year-end benefits were calculated at fifty or sixty taels of silver. In this way, one kilogram is almost a thousand taels.
silver.
I heard that there is a top-notch one, which is even more expensive 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 way as them. On the grassland, ginseng was not so valuable.
Jia Lian destroyed 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, Aqin saw their shocked expressions, so he also deliberately made a show of it. While flipping through the package, he said: "These are yellow ginseng, and I also have white ginseng here."
, and a small amount of red ginseng, do you want to bring these too?"
Upon hearing that there was something else, 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 one by one, put it into the package and put it away. While packing, she said: "No need, you can keep those, the second master just
It’s called Huang Ginseng.”
Ping'er saw Qingwen running away with something in her arms, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch her away, so he quickly ordered the two women to follow her.
It’s not that she’s afraid of Qingwen being greedy for ink, but that if she loses it along the way, it’s a very distressing thing.
