Mrs. Wang had heard Jia Ke's words just now. She still didn't dare to hesitate. She immediately ordered her confidant Zhou Rui's family to go there in person. Now she didn't trust those sloppy little maids, so she still sent her confidant, Zhou Rui's mature and prudent family.
, don’t worry.
After receiving the order, Zhou Rui's family dared not hesitate to run all the way, just like the Wuyang Marquis Mansion ran. This time it was to save their second master's life, so there was no delay.
The Zhou Rui family took Mrs. Wang's order and ran away to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion in small steps. The journey was very windy and they didn't dare to say hello to any acquaintances they met for fear of wasting time. If the second master has something wrong with him, Madam
I won't spare their family.
Zhou Rui's family did not dare to stop along the way when they arrived at Wuwei Hall of Wuyang Marquis Mansion. Qin Keqing lived in the main courtyard behind Wuwei Hall.
Zhou Rui's family entered Wuwei Hall all the way. Several maids and women called her along the way, but they couldn't stop her. They knew who she was, so they didn't dare to stop her too much, so they let her come to the big rooms where Qin Keqing lived behind Wuwei Hall.
house.
When she got here, she still wanted to rush in, but was blocked by an old nanny at the door. Although Zhou Rui's family was anxious, they felt guilty when they saw this old nanny was unfamiliar and for some reason only saw his sharp eyes.
I didn't dare to push in any more, so I said anxiously to the old woman, "Sister, it was the uncle who ordered me to come to see the eldest grandma. The second master in our house is now dying, and the uncle asked me to come to the eldest grandma to get medicine.
, please sister, please make it easy for me to come in."
The old grandma was unmoved, but after waiting for a while, a little girl ran out and said to the old grandma, "Mother Zhang, the eldest grandma said to let Zhou Rui's family in quickly."
After hearing this, the old nanny let go of her arms and let go of Zhou Rui's house.
Zhou Rui's family followed the little girl into the inner room, and saw Qin Keqing sitting on the soft couch in the room, and Aunt Zhou sitting next to him.
When Qin Keqing and Aunt Zhou went to Rongguo Mansion before Jia Ke, they heard that Jia Zhu was seriously ill. At that time, the two of them were discussing Jia Zhu's condition. Suddenly they heard a noise outside, and they didn't know until the little girl went out and asked.
The Zhou Rui family members forced their way in, but were finally blocked by Aunt Zhang.
Qin Keqing thought that if there was no important matter, the Zhou Rui family would not be so bold as to break into her inner house, so he ordered the little girl to tell Nanny Zhang to let the Zhou Rui family in.
As soon as Zhou Rui's family saw Qin Keqing, they immediately knelt down and said with a cry in their voice: "Grandma, our second master is not good. The uncle said that there is a ginseng in the house that is thousands of years old. He said it was in the sandalwood box.
Let me pick it up."
Qin Keqing knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. Almost all the precious medicinal materials in their house's warehouse were packed in sandalwood boxes, including more than ten ginsengs. Jia Ke wanted her to get a precious ginseng.
Send it over.
And seeing the appearance of Zhou Rui's house, she thought it was an emergency, so she called the orchid grass next to her, took out a bunch of keys from her waist, selected one of them, and then took out a pair of keys from the kang table next to her.
Then he took out a piece of paper from the table, wrote a few lines on it, handed it to Lan Xiang, and then told her: "The ginseng is in the sandalwood box at the top of Duobao Pavilion.
, you hurry up and get it."
Lan Xiang didn't dare to neglect after taking the key, and hurried out of the room.
Lan Xiang hurried to the warehouse of Wuyang Hou Mansion, and was stopped in front of the warehouse by Wuzhong, who was guarding the warehouse.
This Wuzhong is Chuncao's father. He is dull and not good at colluding with others, but he is very honest. He is now the warehouse supervisor in Wuyanghou Mansion, and sometimes patrols the warehouse with three or five young men.
When Wuzhong saw Lan Xiang, he asked in a sullen voice: "Aunt Lan Xiang, what are you doing here?"
Lan Xiang said anxiously: "I came to the warehouse to pick up something on the order of my grandmother. It is urgently needed."
After saying that, he showed the pair of cards and the key to Wu Zhong, and then handed the note to Wu Zhong. Wu Zhong took it and took a closer look. It turned out that he was getting medicinal materials. He wanted to get a ginseng from the warehouse. Then he checked again.
After getting the right cards, he led Lanxiang to a warehouse. This time, he saw two big locks on the door of the warehouse.
Wu Zhong silently took out a bunch of keys from his arms, opened one of the locks, and then stepped back to the side.
Lan Xiang then stepped forward, took out the key in his hand and opened another lock, and then Wu Zhong led Lan Cao into the warehouse.
Wuzhong was very familiar with the scene in the empty room, and soon took Nan Chao to a Duobao Pavilion. Lan Xiang looked at the Duobao Pavilion, and there were neatly placed large and small sandalwood wooden boxes.
This time, Lan Xiang was stunned.
You must know that these large and small boxes themselves are valuable, plus the medicinal materials inside. It can be said that each box is a priceless treasure.
Lan Xiang didn't dare to stay too long. According to Qin Keqing's instructions, he took down a sandalwood box from the top of the Baibao Pavilion. He saw that the wooden box was tightly sealed with wax. There was a note on it,
It only says one thousand-year-old ginseng.
Lan Xiang took the ginseng without delay and immediately left the warehouse. At this time, Wuzhong was still waiting at the door of the warehouse. When Lan Xiang came out, he only glanced at the wooden box and made no move.
After that, the two of them locked up, Lan Xiang handed over the right cards, left the warehouse and quickly returned to Qin Keqing's residence in Wuwei Hall.
When Lan Xiang returned to Qin Keqing's residence, Qin Keqing was asking about Jia Zhu's condition from Zhou Rui's family. Zhou Rui's family knew that Jia Ke had fully understood Jia Zhu's condition, so they didn't hide it too much, but now people are talking too much.
She just said to Qin Keqing, "Grandma, I don't know. For the sake of fame, our second master studied day and night and hurt his body. This time, he was taken out of the examination room again. The uncle invited the imperial doctor and said that this time it was very dangerous.
, the uncle then remembered this ginseng plant, to see if it can save our second uncle’s life.”
As for what the imperial doctor said, even if ginseng was involved, it would only be involved for a year or two, so he didn't even mention it.
Qin Keqing was also frightened when she heard what Zhou Rui's family said. She knew that Jia Zhu was not in good health when she married into the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, but she didn't expect that it would be this bad. Seeing that she was in danger of her life at any time.
After hearing this, Qin Keqing sighed and said: "I didn't expect that a smart person like the second master would get such a serious illness. It's really God's mercy." After Qin Keqing finished speaking, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, as if she
How sad it is.
In fact, after Qin Keqing married into Jia's house, she only met Jia Zhu a few times. What kind of feelings were there? She was just doing this to show to Zhou Rui's family, otherwise her second uncle was already dying and she still had no tears.
, spread it out and let people laugh.
Aunt Zhou listened to Zhou Rui's words and kept chanting Amitabha. She also watched Jia Zhu grow up and knew that this child was willing to work hard and make progress. Now that he is so ill, she felt a little sad. Although when Jia Ke was little,
When she was a child, Aunt Zhou did not hate Jia Zhu, but now that Jia Ke is a highly respected minister and has thrown Jia Zhu thousands of miles away, Aunt Zhou has almost forgotten those things that happened when she was a child.
While they were talking, Lan Xiang came in from outside, holding a sandalwood box in her hand.
As soon as Lan Xiang came in, she hurried to Qin Keqing's side and placed the wooden box in front of Qin Keqing. Although Qin Keqing was the mistress of the family, no one in the family was seriously ill. She didn't know what the ginseng in the sandalwood box looked like.
She didn't know either, so she was very curious about the ginseng in these wooden boxes. But this was not the time to explore.
Qin Keqing took the wooden box and carefully inspected the wax seal on it, and saw that there was no damage.
Qin Keqing took the wooden box in his hand and stroked it carefully for a while, as if he cherished it. After a while, he handed it to Zhou Rui's family, "I had this thing in my house when I came here, and I knew it was a valuable thing. So I kept it.
Keep it in the innermost part of the warehouse. The uncle also said to take it out for use when I give birth. Since the second uncle is so anxious, just take it."
When Qin Keqing said this, his mouth was full of regrets, as if he valued this ginseng so much.
Zhou Rui's family took the sandalwood box and held it in her arms like a treasure. Just now she saw that Qin Keqing couldn't put it down, so she naturally knew that Qin Keqing didn't value this thing. I guess it was reserved by Jia Ke to protect Qin Keqing when she gave birth.
.This time Jia Ke was able to bear the pain and pull out the ginseng, but he was not alienated from them and still treated them as one family.
Zhou Rui's family held the ginseng and saw that the matter was done and Jia Zhu was still waiting for help, so they hurriedly saluted Qin Keqing and said goodbye to go back.
Qin Keqing knew that he was anxious and did not stop him. He just told her to be careful on the road, to walk steadily, and not to let the ginseng shake too much, otherwise the curative effect would be affected if the branches were broken.
After hearing this, the Zhou Rui family agreed, and then hurriedly bowed to Qin Keqing and left.
Seeing how anxious she was, Qin Keqing understood that Jia Zhu's condition was probably more serious than she knew, and now she was afraid that she was waiting for the ginseng to die.
Qin Keqing couldn't help but worry about Rongguo Mansion now. In Qin Keqing's opinion, the only one who can take the leading role in Rongguo Mansion is Jia Zhu, and the others are all unworthy. If something happens to Jia Zhu, there will probably be no successors in Rongguo Mansion.
In fact, just by pretending that he has not gained fame, he can keep the Rongguo Mansion going for several more generations with his character. If he is gone, how can Jia Baoyu, who is greedy for sex, lustful, ignorant and unskilled, be able to support such a situation?
's mansion.
When Aunt Zhou saw that the Zhou Rui family had left, she said with some regret: "Such a good ginseng was given to them. We can just cut it and keep half of it, and we can keep you safe when you give birth."
Qin Keqing knew that some things should not be spread out, so he had to comfort Aunt Zhou and said: "This ginseng has been the best in our house for thousands of years, but it is worse than this ginseng. We still have some in our house, wait until I give birth."
If you take it out, it won't be much worse if you think about it. And if this ginseng can save the second master's life, it can be regarded as our uncle's merit."
Aunt Zhou knew that the ginseng had been given away and she had no way to get it back, so she could only accept Qin Keqing's words.
Not to mention Qin Keqing's sigh here, Aunt Zhou's pity, and Zhou Rui's family held the wooden box given by Qin Keqing without stopping for a moment, and still ran all the way back to the small courtyard where Jia Zhu lived.
As soon as Zhou Rui's family entered Jia Zhu's room, they handed the wooden box to Jia Ke. Jia Ke took the wooden box and gave it directly to Mrs. Wang without looking at it.
