The Red Mansions

Chapter 59 The deal is reached
Jia Baoyu said that he knew where to find good ginseng, and Jia Lian hurriedly asked.

Jia Baoyu said: "Brother Yun has high-quality ginseng. Once I heard someone say that Brother Yun bought a hundred-year-old ginseng for only a few taels of silver from an old farmer who sold mountain products. "

"Bought a hundred-year-old ginseng for a few taels of silver? Then he made a lot of money!" Jia Lian was surprised.

Ping'er interjected next to him, "Second Lord, is this the time to discuss earning more or less? It's more serious to find ginseng as soon as possible."

"Yes, I need to find it quickly." Jia Lian nodded and said, "The century-old ginseng is a treasure that can last for a long time. I don't know if Brother Yun is reluctant to sell it."

"It seems that I have to go there myself, no matter what the price is, I have to get that ginseng."

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "You don't need to come for the whole ginseng, even if you want a few ginseng whiskers, it's good."

"Okay, that's more sure." Jia Lian nodded and said, glanced sideways at Wang Xifeng under the bed cover, then turned and left.

At this time, Ping'er pushed Jia Baoyu out, and said while pushing, "Second Master Bao, you can't stay here right now, lest people gossip."

Although the mosquito net on the bed had been put down for the convenience of the imperial doctor, but Wang Xifeng was a female relative after all, and she suffered from such an unspeakable disease, so Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't stay here anymore.

Jia Baoyu was confused, subconsciously looked at the couch where Wang Xifeng was sleeping, and just turned his head when Ping'er covered his face with his palm and said, "Don't look, get out!"

"If you don't read it, you won't read it. Just after I told you about the ginseng, you turned your back on him." Jia Baoyu said depressedly.

Ping'er ignored him, pushed Jia Baoyu out of the door, and immediately arranged for a maid to go in to change Wang Xifeng's clothes and do cleaning.

As soon as the house was tidied up, Mother Jia brought Mrs. Wang and other female relatives over, and there was a huge crowd.

In the yard, after Mother Jia asked the imperial doctor about Wang Xifeng's condition, she brought Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing in to visit Wang Xifeng, while the others stayed in the yard and waited.

Jia Yun's house.

Just as Jia Yun fell asleep, she was playing and laughing with Xiren, when she heard Miao's yelling outside, saying that the second master of Jia Fulian had come to the door.

Jia Yun and Xi Ren hurriedly got up, put on their clothes, and went out of the room. They saw Jia Lian pacing anxiously in the living room. There was Miao's tea on the high stool beside him, but he didn't move.

Jia Yun stepped forward to salute, and asked directly, "Second Uncle Lian, what's the matter with coming here so late?"

"There is something wrong. I heard Baoyu say that your family has a century-old ginseng, but is it true?" Jia Lian nodded.

Jia Yun looked back at Xiren, there was an old ginseng in his family, only Xiren knew about it, she must have disclosed the news to Jia Baoyu.

But he didn't blame Xiren, because there was nothing to hide about this matter.

Looking back, Jia Yun nodded and said, "There is one."

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "That's great, can you take a look? Your Aunt Feng is sick today, and needs to use old ginseng as medicine."

"Brother Yun, please help me. It's getting late now, and it will take some time to go to the pharmacy to buy good ginseng, and it will delay the treatment time, so I can only ask you to find a solution!"

Jia Yun pondered for a moment, nodded, went back to the house to fetch the ginseng, and handed it to Jia Lian for inspection.

The ginseng is sealed in a wooden box, and some lime is placed at the bottom of the box as a desiccant for easy storage. The ginseng is wrapped in three inner and outer layers of kraft paper.

Jia Lian opened the box, took out the ginseng and examined it carefully. Soon, he nodded and said, "This is a hundred-year-old ginseng. Brother Yun, can you transfer this ginseng to me? Please make a price!"

"Second Uncle Lian, this thing can last your life, and it's not easy to buy it if you have money." Jia Yun said expressionlessly.

Jia Lian knew that Jia Yun wasn't lying. A hundred-year-old gin is hard to come by. Even Jia's mansion seldom encountered it. What was treasured in the mansion before was old and lost its medicinal properties, no different from wood.

After thinking for a while, Jia Lian said helplessly, "Brother Yun, why don't you put forward conditions, what will you want to sell this ginseng?"

"To be honest, I don't really want to make a move." Jia Yun said honestly, pondering for a moment, he thought of something, and asked: "Second Uncle Lian, is the New Year's gift from your Jia's Zhuangzi coming?"

"Well, it's been about half a month, and they've come one after another." Jia Lian nodded and said, "Do you want some New Year's goods? It's easy. I'll send you some when the time comes."

Every year in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian is responsible for receiving the New Year's goods from Zhuangzi. If Jia Yun wants some, it's just a matter of effort for him, and it doesn't take much effort.

Jia Yun smiled and said, "I want a lot, and I don't know if you are willing to part with it."

"How much do you want?" Jia Lian asked, but he did not dare to make a private claim and agreed to Jia Yun, so he had to ask clearly before making a decision.

"Wait, I wrote a list when I'm free, and I'll get it for you to read." Jia Yun said, then turned around and went back to the room to get a few sheets, and handed them to Jia Lian.

After Jia Lian took it, he looked at it and murmured: "Elk, brown bear, leopard, roe deer, roe deer, Siamese pig, wild boar, wild sheep, wild goose, pheasant, hare..."

"Taihu Lake whitebait, white shrimp, white water fish, Taishan red scale fish, Yangtze saury, puffer fish, shad, Chinese sturgeon, long snout, Yellow River carp, Huaihe kingfish, Songjiang perch, Quanzhou yellow lip fish, plateau schizophrenia fish……"

"Fengnan Yutian Yanzhi Rice, Bohai Xiangshui Rice, Wuchang Rice, Yingkou Rice, Yuxian Peach Blossom Rice, Zhangqiu Longshan Millet, Qinzhou Yellow Rice, Jinxiang Mapo Golden Valley Rice..."

After reading it, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I can get everything you want, even if we don't have it in the village, I will ask someone to go to the inner market to buy it."

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, take this ginseng to Second Uncle Lian first, I believe you will not break your promise."

"Hehe, I don't need to be honest about this little thing. Don't worry, I will be able to get all the things for you at the latest by the middle of the month." Jia Lian said with a smile.

When the ginseng was in hand, Jia Lian didn't waste any more time, and immediately took his servant and said goodbye and went back.

After Jia Lian left, Jia Yun grabbed the attacker and said with a smile, "You are really good. Whatever I tell you, you have to go back and tell Jia Baoer that I won't punish you!"

"Oh, I only cared about being happy for you at that time, and didn't think too much about it!" Xiren was startled, and ran into the house.

Jia Yun smiled, told Mrs. Miao to go back to rest, and then closed the door, ready to go back to the room to "punish" the attacker.

In the other room, Mrs. Bu and Mei Ren had already woken up, but after hearing that it was Jia Lian who had arrived, Mei Ren didn't go out.

When he was in Jia's house before, Jia Lian always looked at Mei Ren with mean eyes, which made Mei Ren a little disgusted.

After serving Mrs. Bu to sleep, Meiren went to the outside room to lie down. She was in a drowsy sleep when she suddenly heard a scream from Jia Yun's room, and Meiren woke up immediately.

"Sister Xiren..." Meiren murmured softly, and when she heard the voice getting louder, she quickly lifted the quilt and covered her head to sleep.
