The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 196 Complaining Privately

Seeing that they had something to do, Feng Ziying made an appointment with them to meet again at another day, and then went alone.

Mu Xu took Jia Lian and Zhang Shiyou back to his house, and asked them to wait in the study outside. He pretended to go back to the residence, and returned after a while with a wooden box in his hand.Handing the wooden box to Zhang Shiyou, Zhang Shiyou carefully took out the ginseng, held it in his hand to observe carefully for a while, then put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, in the expectant eyes of the two, he said intoxicated,

"It's a thousand-year-old ginseng, and judging from its size and medicinal taste, it's probably at least thirteen hundred years old."

Mu Xu said with satisfaction, "If that's the case, then you can take the medicine."

Zhang Shiyou hesitated and said, "My son, once this ginseng is cut open, its medicinal properties will soon be lost, and it cannot be preserved for a long time."

"It's okay, you just do whatever you want. I came to you this time to give my grandmother some life-prolonging medicine with this ginseng plant." Mu Xu said indifferently.

"Then I'll come to the palace to give the concubine the pulse after I've diagnosed and treated Mrs. Jia, and then I'll decide how to prepare the medicine." Zhang Shiyou agreed, and then he took out a knife from the medicine box and cut a small piece of it. Put the ginseng into a jade bottle, seal the remaining ginseng with beeswax and return it to Mu Xu.

After everything was done, Jia Lian and Zhang Shiyou left immediately, and they went to the big pharmacy in the city together to prepare other medicinal materials.After remembering the usages and taboos Zhang Shiyou said, Jia Lian happily returned home with several pairs of Chinese medicines in his arms.As soon as Fang entered the room, he excitedly said to Wang Xifeng who was doing the accounting, "Quickly throw away your business, I brought back the medicine."

However, Wang Xifeng was a little frustrated and said, "Is this doctor Zhang reliable this time? I have eaten so much bitter juice in the past two years, but it has not helped at all. If it is really not possible, let Ping'er give birth to you. Forget it, and then I will give birth to you." Just put it in my name."

According to Wang Xifeng's personality in the past, she would never be able to say such words.The reason why she is so abnormal today is that Jia She gave her an ultimatum recently. If she can't spread the good news within half a year, Jia She will marry Jia Lian two concubines.

This is also Wang Xifeng's own fault. She was originally Mrs. Wang's niece. After marrying Jia Lian, relying on Jia's mother's favor, she never paid much attention to her father-in-law. If you can't go to the East Road Courtyard, you will definitely not go.Now the feng shui is turning, ever since Lai Da and others were eliminated, Jia Amnesty has already grasped the power in the mansion, if Jia Lian has not become an official now, and intercedes for her from time to time, Jia Amnesty would have divorced her and returned to the Wang family. up.

After all, they were husband and wife for many years. Seeing Wang Xifeng like this, Jia Lian hurriedly patted the medicine in his hand, and comforted him softly, "This time there is absolutely no problem. This Zhang Shiyou is an acquaintance introduced by Ziying. I heard that he has the ability to bring the dead back to life." .And in order to prepare these medicines for you, I even asked my brother-in-law Lin for a thousand-year-old ginseng. Think about it, you have only heard about the thousand-year-old ginseng, but you have never seen it, right?"

Naturally, Wang Xifeng didn't know that Jia Lian was just putting gold on her face, but hearing what he said so solemnly, she also had a glimmer of hope in her heart, "You are telling the truth, is there really a thousand-year-old ginseng in it?"

Jia Lian laughed and scolded, "Why are you so greedy, you mother-in-law? You don't care whether the medicine is good or not, but you care about millennium ginseng!"

After receiving the medicine from Jia Lian and holding it tightly in her arms, Wang Xifeng said embarrassedly, "I haven't seen this kind of baby before. I didn't expect that my blessings are not small. It seems that this time It really helped."

"We owe him a great favor. You don't know. When I heard that this medicine needs at least five hundred years of ginseng, I was in despair. I didn't want to think that there is such a treasure. .It’s just luck, I just came back with Ziying today, and I met him at the intersection..."

"Wait!" Wang Xifeng interrupted him, and asked with some doubts, "Didn't you say that you got this ginseng from brother-in-law Lin? How could it be that you happened to meet him again?"

"This..." Jia Lian was a little bit tongue-tied, secretly regretting that he should have said it smoothly for a while, and originally wanted to show his skills in front of Wang Xifeng, but now he has revealed his secrets.Looking at Wang Xifeng who was staring at him covetously, he had no choice but to tell the truth and told what happened.

After Wang Xifeng heard this, she didn't care about Jia Lian's big talk, but said with emotion, "It seems that we have been blessed by Sister Lin again."

"Who said it wasn't? I just heard that Sister Lin is pregnant. Remember to give her a generous gift to express our feelings as a couple."

"It's up to you to say it. Today, I talked about it with the old lady. According to what she said, she wants to visit Sister Lin in person, and I will go with her when the time comes."

Jia Lian laughed disdainfully, "The old lady won't bring Baoyu this time, will she?"

"You're a foolish old lady. Naturally, you won't take him with you. Why are you talking about this again? Isn't it all over?"

"Hmph, it's over? Do you know how much I paid someone privately for Baoyu's incident at my second brother-in-law's house? Now, who in Beijing doesn't know that our Rongguo Mansion has such a baby, a person of eighteen or nineteen years old? I don’t do business anymore, I hang out in the inner house all day. Fortunately, there is only an unmarried woman in the family, otherwise our girl, no one can talk about a good marriage."

Wang Xifeng suddenly realized, "I said, no wonder the official media, when they heard that they were talking about Baoyu's marriage, they either introduced people from small families or small families, or they just pushed back and forth. So the root is here!"

"No, I heard that my sister-in-law was going to tell Baoyu her two cousins, and the old lady agreed to this, so why did she find an official matchmaker?" Jia Lian asked in confusion.

He got up and poured two cups of tea, and after pushing one to Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng explained, "Why else, as soon as Baoyu heard that he was going to marry one of the sisters in the Li family, there was a quarrel immediately, throwing jade and going on a hunger strike Yes, the old lady has nothing to do with him, so she has to find someone else."

Jia Lian shook her head and laughed, "The old lady is also confused, and Baoyu is still like this. With his current reputation, which woman is willing to marry him." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh,
"Xiangyun was pretty good in the first place, but Baoyu is still the best, but Erfang's family is big-hearted and looks down on him. Now it's all right. He and Wei Ruolan are going to get married next month. The Wei family returned it to me yesterday. Posted it."

"There is such a thing, I wait at the old lady's place every day, and I haven't seen the historian send someone to tell her?" Wang Xifeng was very surprised.

"I'm afraid it's because of the previous incident. Baoyu almost ruined the reputation of the entire Shijia girl. In the end, the old lady didn't give the Shijia an explanation. I think it's just nothing. Do you think it's possible?"

Wang Xifeng also agreed with Jia Lian's conjecture, and then she felt that it would be a pity to cut off contact with a historian of two families because of Jia Baoyu, a villain, and couldn't help talking about it with Jia Lian.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian said firmly after hearing this, "Don't worry, if my guess is right, the historian must have posted a note for the master. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the concierge to inquire and see if the historian has sent someone to Dongfang recently. Road Court."

Wang Xifeng went out of the house dubiously, and called Jia Lian's servant, Wang'er, to inquire about it. After a while, Wang'er came back out of breath and reported to her that the Shi family had indeed sent someone to Jia She's place the day before yesterday.Wang Xifeng really made Jia Lian guess when he heard it, and immediately looked at him with admiration.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's surprised eyes, Jia Lian felt as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and said triumphantly, "Have you taken it now? You know how powerful your man is!"

……

The next day, Zhang Shiyou came to Dongping Prince's Mansion as scheduled, and after meeting with Mu Xu, he went down to Songhe Hall under his leadership.Concubine Zhang was greatly surprised to see her grandson bringing a strange man into the back house suddenly.

After listening to Mu Xu's explanation of the reason, Concubine Zhang was very moved. Although she felt that it would take a lot of effort, she still couldn't bear to brush off his filial piety, and immediately agreed.
