Chapter 46 The Red Chamber (46)

Red Mansion(46)

"Have you tried it?" Lin Yutong pointed to the bottles and cans on the table and asked cautiously. This thing is for human use after all, so it's better to be cautious. Is there any suitable group of people or something like that? You still have to indicate it.

It's good. If there are any side effects, it's hard to tell. It's better to ask about it in advance to make people feel more at ease.

"What kind of trial do you want?" Lin Daiyu smiled: "The medicinal properties used are extremely mild. There is no serious problem. Don't worry."

Lin Yutong nodded, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart. He stretched out his hand and opened the thing. Just by the smell, Lin Yutong gave a thumbs up. The faint fragrance seemed to be there but not at all. It was a fragrance that most people could accept. See again.

On the back of the hand, the end was delicate and smooth. Lin Yutong felt relieved. This thing can definitely be used.

She didn't lie to Sister Lin about her recipe, she said bluntly: "Sister, I want to discuss something with you. Just wait and see if it works."

Seeing her solemnity, Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Sister, just say it."

Lin Yutong said: "I know what my sister is thinking. Even if our daughter's family has to practice medicine, there will be many inconveniences. That's what I think. I want to find a safe place to buy in the suburbs of Beijing and build a manor.

. Houses and courtyards have been built outside the manor. In the future, my sister can use the manor as a medicine house. We made it clear in advance that we will not treat anyone who is not a woman, and we will never go to the patient's home. But those who seek medical treatment will be in the medicine house.

The courtyard outside the manor is for patients and their families. All patients and decoctions are free. However, we do not have no requirements for patients. Those who are rich will pay, and those who are able will contribute.

. If a rich family is willing to leave money, we will engrave their name on the stone tablet. For a family without money, whether it is a family member working or waiting for her to recover from illness, it will all be done. It all depends on this.

Maybe you are willing to send some food, or chop a bundle of firewood. It’s all right! No matter how high or low you are, you have a good intention.”

"Of course, the courtyards built will be divided into three, six or nine. Rich families can live in the courtyard freely, but this is not free. The price has to be calculated based on the rent. In addition, many small single rooms will be divided.

Housing for poor people. This is free. Even if it provides three simple meals a day, it actually doesn't cost much. It's not that I have to divide people into three, six or nine, but in this world, there are always liters of rice and tons of rice.

The matter of hatred." After Lin Yutong finished speaking, he looked at Lin Daiyu and asked: "This is just a rough idea, do you think it is feasible?"

"Sister's idea... is very good. But there are more people, and medicine is not a small sum, so I'm afraid it won't be expensive." Lin Daiyu is not completely unconventional. Of course she knows how much the cost is.

"This is what I want to tell you." Lin Yutong said: "Sister, there are prescriptions for these medicines. You only give me the prescriptions, and you don't have to worry about the money you need. I can always

I'll provide you with supplies." She knew what Lin Daiyu was thinking. The Lin family was rich, but in her heart, these properties should be reserved for Lin Yuyang. There was no reason for an unmarried woman to waste the family property at home.

Even if Lin Yuyang is happy, it is still unknown whether he will be happy when Lin Yuyang has a wife and children in the future. How could she not have such worries in her heart?

Lin Daiyu glanced at Lin Yutong with a smile and said: "I don't know what my sister wants this recipe for, but if she needs it, just take it. Other people's recipes may be better than ours, so take this.

I can't get much money in exchange for it. My sister said so, and I believed it. If I don't have any money, I just ask my sister for it. If I have any tips in the future, I'll sort it out and give it to my sister."

Then this is really great.

After sending Lin Daiyu away, Lin Yutong seriously considered building a manor for Lin Daiyu. The first was the location selection. Lin Yutong preferred to be near Grandma Liu's house. First, there was Jing Haibo's village there, so he could take care of it in the future.

.The second one is that Wang Xifeng’s fields are all in that area. In the future, that will also be Wang Xifeng’s territory. Having such a powerful person like her taking care of her is really the most reassuring thing.

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became.

Thinking of Xichun who wanted to become a monk, Lin Yutong thought that maybe in the future, Lin Daiyu would not be without a companion. Isn't Lin Daiyu's medicine house much cleaner than that nunnery?

The next day, she asked Lin Ping to send someone to ask if there was a suitable place. In the future, if this place was separated from the Lin family's property, there would be disputes in the future.

Lin Ruhai knew Lin Yutong's plan and felt that it was very appropriate. He felt grateful for Lin Yutong's efforts for Lin Daiyu. He decided to make a good deal with the child when he was old enough.

But Lin Yutong didn't care about anything that was not as good as her hairpin. At this moment, she was holding the prescription given by Lin Daiyu as if she was holding a treasure. When she came to this world, she made a lot of money, but she really didn't have much money in her hands.

It's all lies. It's all lies to say that she can't hold her breath. Now this recipe makes her feel that this is her own money.

She managed to stay up until night, when the girls were all asleep, and then she entered the space.

She rarely comes in this space. She uses the spring water inside every day. When she cooks, she also takes out the dishes in the space. But that's all. In the Lin family, she really enjoys everything she can. She comes in occasionally.

, looking at the modern things in the room, they all feel strange. Every time, it is just because they are afraid that they will forget their own modern life, so they come in and stay for half a night.

Compared with the spacious and spacious boudoir, the small room in this space is really small and pitiful, and it is not as big as the bathroom in my boudoir.

I used to think that this small house was nice. Although it was small, it had all the necessary features. It had an open bedroom and living room, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. After graduating from college, it would definitely be a very satisfying thing to have such a small house in the city.

.

But now, he is so dissatisfied.

She didn't want others to know about Lin Daiyu's handwriting. So, the first thing she did was to lie down on the desk and copy down the recipe. But to be honest, writing with a brush is easier than holding a gel pen.

However, while writing traditional Chinese characters was easy, she had trouble writing simplified characters. She finally wrote the recipe and sent it back. It would probably take a few days to get the news. She was not in a hurry.

As far as the eye can see in the space, there is nothing to take care of. Even if the fruits and vegetables are collected, there is no place to store them. The only storage room is filled with money. She feels a little regretful now, but there will be more in the future.

If you have the opportunity, you must change your silver into gold. Gold saves space. Otherwise, you will really suffer a big loss.

She looked around and saw that the crops were growing well and densely packed without any gaps. She didn't know if the space could be expanded and upgraded. It seemed that after this task was completed, she would have to ask the leader when she went back.

By the time we got back to bed in the house, it was already late. There was a pattering sound outside the window, and it was raining again. Before falling asleep, Lin Yutong thought that now, Lin Daiyu would not be able to say anything about wind and rain on a rainy night. I'm afraid it will still happen.

I'm burning the midnight oil to memorize medical books. I don't have time to feel sad about spring and autumn.

Lin Ping inquired about the information, and the inquiry was very fast. Two days later, he was actually asked to find a suitable place. In that place, all the fields had been bought, but there was a large mountain top, and the lake below the mountain had no owner.

Anyway, it is not about buying farmland for farming. The mountains are better. Build a courtyard at the foot of the mountain. It is safest to build a separate courtyard for Daiyu on the entire mountain. The highest hills near the capital are less than two hundred meters. And there is no

Beast, this place is really suitable.

She just sent Lin Ping to buy it at any price, and then slowly build it. Moreover, she was not good at building the manor. The on-site investigation and design were not something she could do. She pushed it to her brother and didn't care about it anymore.

.

After Lin Ruhai found out, he went there himself and bought a mountain next to it. He sighed to Lin Yuyang: "When my father becomes an official, I will open an academy on another mountain." Lin Ruhai sighed.

Yuyang knew that his father was worried about his sister. He thought about staying with her in the future. It would be a day to be with her. He suddenly felt sour. He smiled and said: "Just think of it as our family's clan. From now on, the descendants will be six years old."

Years old, send it here to study hard."

These words made Lin Ruhai very happy. If the Lin family has a family tradition, it will mean that the descendants will be prosperous.

Lin Yutong didn't know anything about this. Her attention was attracted by another thing. It was the auction, and after the shopkeeper's intense work, it was finally prepared.

But it is a pity that I cannot attend.

After two rains, it was already late autumn. Respectable people in the capital received a gold-plated and jade-inlaid post, inviting you to participate in the chrysanthemum appreciation auction.

Whether the chrysanthemum appreciation auction is chrysanthemum appreciation or an auction. Chrysanthemum appreciation is an elegant thing, it is only an auction. It is hard to say.

In fact, auctions were not a new thing in ancient times. Bidding, and the highest bidder won, was common when supply was lower than demand. However, no one specifically regarded auctions as a business.

Lin Yutong felt that his shopkeeper was a bit naughty. He actually posted messages to Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, including Xue Pan who lived in the Jia family. This made Lin Yutong dumbfounded.

The Lin family is low-key in the capital, and few people know that this is the Lin family's property. But Lin Ruhai did not hide anything from the emperor. He also briefly talked about his youngest daughter's physical condition, and bluntly said that she might not get married in the future. Of course,

Well, when it comes to sadness, there are also tears. Knowing the purpose of the Lin family's doing this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh. Poor parents in the world, this is just the way it is. He even sent the eunuch next to him to go too

Join in the fun. Just buy something and come back, which can be regarded as a face to Lin Ruhai.

As the son-in-law of the Lin family, Wen Tianfang naturally appreciated him very much.

Waiting for a family like the Jia family to hear that there are really respectable people attending. Then receiving the post is an extremely honorable and honorable thing, so why not go?

In this world, there is no better way to earn than the money of a prodigal.

Lin Yutong thought of Jia She's kindness, so she asked the shopkeeper to collect some ancient fans. Thinking of this, she didn't know if she could save the life of the idiot.

As expected, Jia She took a fancy to the fan, and the people under Wen Tianfang's instructions raised the price all the way, raising the price to two thousand taels. But Jia Zheng was even better, he took a fancy to the three paintings pawned by the Jia family.

One of the ancient paintings. The final price was raised to 3,500 taels.

The shopkeeper was in the background, barely laughing to death. He wanted to see what the Jia family would cash in money.

As soon as the auction is over, those who bring money will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. It doesn't matter if you don't bring money. If you bring money within three days, it will be settled. If you don't want it halfway, then I'm sorry, you have to pay 20% of the default fee.

Gold. This was agreed upon in advance. In other words, Jia She and Jia Zheng brothers were able to obtain a total of 5,500 taels of things from the auction. If they could not get the silver, they had to pay a penalty of 1,110 taels.

The two brothers spent money quickly and promised well. Jia Lian could only shudder when he saw it. He decided not to go back to the house for a while. No matter where, he would hide for ten and a half months first. Anyway, his wife

She is pregnant and has fetal motility, so she can't get out of bed. Even Ping'er is recovering from her injuries. The eldest master can't find him, and he can't trouble them either. Let's see how they go about looking for money. He doesn't care.

I still have a hundred or so taels of silver on me, and I can live a good life for a few days.

Thinking of the funeral money that Wang Xifeng asked people to send to Bao Er a few days ago, he felt really sad. Bao Er's wife was indeed a beauty. What a pity, why did she hang herself? Only the money was left for Bao Er, that good-for-nothing.

, which is a waste.

When the auction ended, Wen Tianfang and Lin Yuyang were the last to leave. It was a bit funny to see Jia Lian running away without knowing who he was talking to when Jia She wasn't paying attention.

Wen Tianfang is really impressed by Lin Yutong now. This is a huge profit.

Take the Jia family as an example. Now if they want to collect money, they are afraid that they will have to pawn things secretly. After exchanging things, they are actually his own things. After tossing them around several times, all the money has been taken away by others.

It is only said that Jia She returned home and gave instructions to go down. Now he took the silver and hurried to the auction house to get the fan back. Nowadays, everyone has cash in hand, but he only has money for himself, so he can't afford much money.

After a while, there was a reply that the accountant could not pay out 200 taels of silver. How could Jia She believe this? He then sent someone to see how the second master was doing. After all, Jia Zheng wanted to take 3,500 taels in cash.

If Jia Zheng can get it, he only has two thousand taels, but they can't get it. Then this account must be calculated carefully.

Jia Zheng went back and went directly to Mrs. Wang's room.

The couple sat opposite each other. Mrs. Wang personally brought a cup of tea, handed it over, and asked: "All the men in the family have gone out today. But what's important outside."

Jia Zheng nodded: "I just received a message from an auction house. I thought it was a merchant, but if I didn't go, it would be a shame. I didn't want the people around the emperor to go there in person to support me, and Jing Haibo went there. Brother-in-law Lin

Although he didn't go, Brother Yang did. Later, several princes also sent people. I think there is always some support that we don't know about behind this. It is necessary to support him. I bought an ancient painting, and the price is quite right.

Three thousand five hundred taels of silver. You can send someone to pay the silver later and get the things back."

Mrs. Wang suddenly felt confused. Three thousand five hundred taels was quite easy to say. The amount of money that this family could turn around was even less than five hundred taels. They would have to use their private rooms.

Jia Zheng couldn't see Mrs. Wang's face. His face suddenly darkened and he said: "Since there is a eunuch in front of the emperor, why don't you wait until now? Move around a few more times and get on the line with this eunuch. Yes.

Is there no benefit to the empress in the palace? Then Xia Shouzhong is just a eunuch in the harem, can he compare with the ones around the emperor? You give him a lot of money every month, but how much benefit can the empress get?

It’s as effective as using force on the people around the emperor. If you don’t understand this principle, wouldn’t you be confused?”

Mrs. Wang paused, but her words made sense. Her voice suddenly softened, and she said: "I am a woman, how can I understand these things? Just listen to the master. A few days ago, I just made three transactions from the Xue family.

One thousand taels, I have to add some more, that's all." Aunt Xue called Xue Pan last time to say yes, and took five thousand taels of silver, but now she has more than three thousand taels left, which is just in time.

Jia Zheng was quite satisfied with this. He nodded and said, "Ask someone to serve you so I can wash myself up."

This meant staying the night. Mrs. Wang was also very satisfied with Jia Zheng's words.

While Jia Zheng went to wash up, Mrs. Wang took the money and asked Zhou Rui's family to take someone to do it.

As soon as Zhou Rui's family left the house, Jia She got the news. How could he not be angry?

Who is in charge of this house, and what is the second wife’s private room? If it is not for personal gain, where did she get those private rooms? But this cannot be said openly. It’s just that Mrs.

The man came with a food box and bumped into the muzzle of the gun.

"Every mother-in-law has a private house filled with gold and silver for her master to use. Tell me what you have." Jia She looked at Mrs. Xing and became very angry.

Mrs.

Jia She's expression changed, "It's natural to be a thief if you harm the public and enrich your private life. But you have to have the ability to be a thief. If you don't have the ability, you can only watch the thief eat the meat."

Mrs.

Jia She was stunned. He really didn't know about this. He asked, "The old lady is really partial. The private house is something that everyone has a share of. Why is it only given to the old man and not the second child?"

"I'm afraid the old lady doesn't know. Otherwise, it's a thief." Mrs. Xing sneered: "That Yuanyang is not the thief that the second wife put in front of the old lady."

Jia She's heart moved, and a smart and charming girl appeared in front of his eyes. Look at Mrs.

No more. I can't help but ask: "Why did Yuanyang listen to the second wife?"

How could Mrs. Xing know the reason behind this? She said: "It's just that I have taken a fancy to Baoyu again."

Jia She frowned and said: "Baoyu is a child, how can she know how to care for others? Since she has the ambition to make progress, sir, I will accept her in a serious manner. Isn't it better than Baoyu? Although the sisters are both pretty.

.But she should also know that finding someone who can love someone is better than anything else. If you really want to, being a second wife is fine. You just have to say it."

Mrs. Xing's heart skipped a beat. How could she dare to say this in person? But she didn't dare to ignore Jia She's words. She tossed and turned all night, unable to think of a good idea.

The next day, I first went to Wang Xifeng's place and asked Wang Xifeng to find a solution.

Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart when she heard Mrs.

Mrs. Xing rambled on about buying a fan. Wang Xifeng listened, but kept dozing off. When Mrs. Xing finished speaking, Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and nodded her head. It was obvious that she was playing the piano to a cow.

No matter how stupid Mrs.

Wang Xifeng seemed to have been awakened, and said loudly and confusedly: "Why is the eldest lady gone? Go and see her off quickly. My body is becoming more and more useless now. Why did I fall asleep even while talking?"

Mrs. Xing paused, snorted again, and walked out the door like a wind.

Xiaohong opened the curtain and saw that the person had left the yard and said, "Sister Yuanyang is going to suffer again."

"Yuanyang is a smart and decent person." Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of Yuanyang, she couldn't help but think of Ping'er. She told Xiaohong, "Go and see how Ping'er is doing. This girl is stupid. Tell her to be nice."

Keep it, tell her she has something to eat from me, and I will never starve her."

Xiaohong responded before going out.

On the other side, Mrs.

Sister-in-law, for some unknown reason, she was sent to her old residence in Jinling some time ago. There was not even a person to buffer her in the middle.

This was naturally the work of Yuanyang. Since the brother and sister-in-law were weak, it would be better to send them away from afar. In this way, they might not be saved.

Mrs. Xing had no choice but to find Yuanyang herself.

When Yuanyang saw the eldest wife, he knew that this was another person who plotted against the old lady's private life. But he didn't expect that this person's methods were just as despicable. Compared with the second wife, one was despicable openly and the other was despicable secretly.

I heard Mrs.

Yes, just ask me and the old lady to ask you to come over. Good girl, your good days are coming."

Yuanyang's body suddenly froze. It turned out that the idea here was to get both people and money. Suddenly he felt his blood rising. He didn't care about the difference between master and servant, so he just pulled Mrs. Xing and went to Jia Mu's house.

In the house, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and Li Wan brought Sanchun Baoyu and several steward daughters-in-law, making fun in front of Jia Mu. Suddenly they saw Yuanyang coming in with Mrs. Xing, and everyone was a little puzzled.

Seeing Yuanyang knelt down in front of Jia Mu, he told Mrs.

It’s unclear…”

Jia's mother didn't know about the lawsuit involved. The eldest brother must have smelled the matter of Yuanyang taking his private house. It was inevitable that there would be a fuss. Thinking of the reason for this matter, it was Wang's fault after all.

He said to Mrs. Wang: "There is only one good person left by my side, and you still want to plot. I don't know who you are trying to coax with those filial words in the past. After looking at the plot against her, you are plotting against me, a lonely old woman. This is a shameful thought.

, don’t look at who doesn’t know.”

Mrs. Wang quickly stood up and did not dare to reply.

Li Wanben left with Sanchun, but Tanchun said in his heart: It seems that the old lady may not really know that the wife asked Yuanyang to take the old lady's private room. She just kept her face and didn't say anything. Today

The old lady was just using excuses to say what she wanted to say.

The old lady is not an old fool anymore. How can she really blame the eldest brother-in-law for marrying his younger wife? Therefore, she has her own reasons for just scolding the wife.

But what about the wife's face now? She couldn't help but turn back and said: "Old lady, please calm down. You should only ask the eldest lady. How can the lady know?"

It really made people shout out the reason behind it, and the whole family lost face.

Jia Mu paused in her heart, glanced at Tanchun, smiled, and realized that this matter could no longer be pursued seriously, and said, "I am an old fool. I have wronged her." After saying that, she said to Aunt Xue, "My aunt is still here."

Here, I got confused. Your sister is always very good." After saying that, he said to Mrs.

.How old are you now? You don't want to take good care of your body. You just keep your little wife and do whatever you want. Instead of trying to persuade me, you become more and more indulgent. You don't have to pretend to be in front of me.

Go and serve your master. As long as you are good, your master will not be like this."

Mrs. Xing's face turned red with embarrassment. Her mother-in-law stepped forward and accused her of being unfilial to her mother-in-law. Because she was not good, the master found a younger wife. Didn't this mean that she was not a good wife? In front of relatives and servants, Xing

Madam only felt that her face had been exposed by the old lady. How could she still stand?

As long as the old lady didn't tell her to leave, how dare Mrs.

She stood there, not daring to come forward. Even the maids in the room didn't dare to come forward to talk to her. They just thought she didn't exist.

After that day, Mrs. Xing reported illness. She felt ashamed to see others.

Mother Jia also knew why her eldest son started to fuss. She just turned a blind eye and watched Yuanyang take a few things out, and then she felt more at ease.

Yuanyang naturally found Ping'er. Ping'er was familiar with the business and knew where to exchange the items for money.

"Only now do I know that the words you persuaded me that day were all good words." Ping'er was lying on the kang, her face still a little pale. I remembered what Yuanyang once said, telling her to go out and find an honest man. Now that I think about it, they were all good words.

.Now I feel so regretful that my intestines are blue.

"Don't go too far. Now that you've taken this step, you can move on. Your master still seems to have some affection for you. If you just follow her, you will always have a good life."

Yuanyang put down the things and advised.

"I didn't know this. But now that I think about it, it's my fault that I can't help her." Ping'er couldn't help crying: "It's me who can't help her."

"It's okay if you only serve with your heart. Men can't be trusted." Yuanyang looked at Xiren Heping'er, and she really had no intention of becoming an aunt.

Ping'er glanced at Yuanyang and said: "I also know about you. Just be careful in the future. I'm afraid the eldest master won't let it go."

Yuanyang sneered and said: "At worst, I'll just wipe my neck clean. Who is afraid of him?"

"Bah!" Ping'er spat and said, "Just don't think that way. I have died once, and I know that living is the most important thing."

The two of them murmured and talked a lot. After Yuanyang left, Ping'er reluctantly stood up and asked the little girl to call someone and send them out to pawn the things.

Only Aunt Xue returned to her yard, worried. There was a commotion in the Jia family today. In the final analysis, it was all about money. Now she was obviously living off pawns. She was a little hesitant now, and she didn't know that the palace

How is your empress? If it is really okay, this marriage can be done. Besides, my girl is getting older and older, how can I drag it down. (. )
