The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 912: Borrow ginseng

Views:

[Sure enough, when I opened QQ in the afternoon, the efficiency dropped. 】

The fifth watch has just passed [five o'clock in the morning].

Hearing the ringing of the bell outside, Embroidered Orange lifted the quilt like a conditioned reflex, and while groping for the jacket by the head of the bed, he stretched his two long legs to the ground.

Not long after, a pair of feet that looked like Tilian slipped into the embroidered shoes, but after fumbling around the head of the bed, there was no trace of the little clothes.

Xiuju sat on the bed for a while, then suddenly woke up.

Yesterday, Sun Shaozong came over in the middle of the night. She also had the rain and dew on this big bed, but after she was done, she couldn't rest on the hostess' bed.

Because he was really tired, he simply went back to the small bed naked, so the close-fitting clothes were naturally left on the big bed.

So he got up in a hurry to smear black, and got close to the big bed in the north.

First, I took the fire book from the flower table at the head of the bed, and carefully lit the candle. I saw that there were a few clothes hanging on the bar at the head of the bed.

Xiuju leaned forward, sorted those clothes into categories, took off a few of his own, and wrapped them around his body in a rustling way.

"What time is it?"

At this moment, Sun Shaozong's strong voice came from the curtain-draped Babu bed.

Xiuju paused and leaned forward in a low voice: "Shortly after Yin Shi, did you get up right now, or..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cowardly cry.

Xiuju's face became hot, and she quickly put on her clothes and went outside to wash with warm water.

When everything was sorted out, I didn't know if I should go in and serve again, when I heard Jia Yingchun greet inside: "Xiu orange, come in with a basin of water."

It seemed that he was just playing around and didn't mean to return in the morning.

So Xiuju poured a pot of hot water and hurried into the inner room, only to see Jia Yingchun with her hair loose and serving Sun Shaozong to get up, so she hurriedly walked a few steps forward to help.

The two masters and servants made concerted efforts to firstly groom Sun Shaozong, then leave the secret passage, and then successively prepare in front of the dressing table.

When he was busy, he didn't show anything. When he finally got free, the sequelae of the middle-of-the-night battle suddenly swept over, and the master and servant yawned vigorously.

Just had a head full of pearls inserted, and it was really inconvenient to lie down and fall asleep.

Fortunately, the master and servant had already gained experience, so they placed pillows on the outside Luohan bed, and each reclined on the armrest for a nap.

Not long after, there was a soft knock on the door outside, Xiuju hurriedly got off the Luohan bed, and as she greeted the door, she asked, "But Mrs. Yuanyang is outside?"

When the mandarin ducks responded outside, she released the latch and ushered the mandarin ducks into the house.

But he said that Yuanyang entered the house and saw that both the master and the servant were tired, so I don't know what happened last night

He secretly said 'injustice', but hurriedly dragged Xiuju around to look around, so as not to leave any clues.

Xiuju knew that they couldn't hide it from her, but the two of them were tacit, and neither of them was willing to point it out - only occasionally found some traces that should not be there, Xiuju was still unavoidably ashamed.

I was busy here, and suddenly I heard the sound of the mountain outside the courtyard door being smashed.

The masters and servants in the room were all stunned for a moment, and it was just after [six o'clock] right now. How dare that blind man be so reckless

Could it be…

What's going on in the front yard

Thinking of this, Yuanyang didn't dare to delay, and rushed out with Xiuju to greet him, opening the door and asking loudly, "Who, come here this morning to smash the door!"

I heard a woman outside anxiously say: "My girl, but it's amazing, the second master of the family is seriously ill, no, the second wife sent Zhou Rui's family over early in the morning, let's take care of our wife's life-saving old ginseng! "

This woman is one of Jia Yingchun's dowries. She has been serving in the Rongguo Mansion for decades, so when she becomes anxious, her family and ours cannot be separated from each other.

But once Yuanyang heard that Baoyu was seriously ill, he even had to borrow Laoshan ginseng to save his life, how could he care about anything else now

Busy led the woman in to report.

However, after a while, Zhou Rui's family was also brought in, crying and wiping tears, and then everyone knew that Jia Baoyu was worried about Qiuwen.

At the beginning, it was only a small ailment, but I never thought that it would get worse and worse these days, and it would not help if I changed two imperial doctors.

By yesterday, the high fever had not subsided all day long, and even his mind had gradually become confused.

As a result, Mrs. Wang quarreled with Jia Zheng several times, and even ordered people all over the world to search for the famous doctor. Last night, I heard Lin Daiyu mention that the Sun family had recently acquired a lot of old ginseng from Liaodong, so they sent Zhou Rui's family to come and borrow it early in the morning.

"Auntie knows that too."

When Zhou Rui's family said this, he suddenly felt a little lost, so he hurriedly went back and added: "Our family is not as precious as that small family, taking this thing as a treasure, usually someone has a disease or disaster, but if you ask for it. There is absolutely no disapproval in front of the wife!"

"No one has deliberately thought about these occasional things. It just happened to be such a coincidence. When this happened to our second master, Curry was left with only a lot of ginseng beards."

She is obviously slapped with a swollen face and made a fat man. The current situation of the Rongguo Mansion is loose and tight. Others may not know it.

As the saying goes, from frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult. Since the construction of the Grand View Garden, Rongguo Mansion has been in the dilemma of making ends meet for a long time.

Even if the Lai family and other tyrants were raided and a lot of money was recovered, they would not be able to bear the food they had been eating for years.

Because of this, when I heard that Wang Xifeng had hidden hundreds of thousands of taels of foreign wealth, the whole family was so excited.

Not to mention gossip, but said that Yuanyang heard that she had arrived at this time, and she still did not forget to put gold on Mrs. Wang's face. She felt helpless, but it was not easy to expose her. Afraid of our wives, don't you miss the relationship between sister and brother?"

After speaking, he turned back to report: "Ma'am, there are six old ginsengs in our library that are over 100 years old, seventeen ones more than fifty years old, and there are still more than one hundred roots in the following years. ."

This is not only to remind Jia Yingchun, but also to show off his wealth.

Jia Yingchun thought for a while, and then said: "Century-old ginseng and fifty-year-old ginseng will be paid three times each, you can arrange it, and I will bring it over in person later."

Yuanyang replied respectfully, but did not rush to leave, but reminded again: "Madam, do you need to inform the second master about this?"

"exactly!"

Jia Yingchun nodded hurriedly: "It's time to tell the second master about this matter - Xiuju, you can go and take a look. If the second master has already gone to the yamen, we will talk about it at night."

When it comes to 'night', she blushed for no reason, but fortunately, Yuanyang and Xiuju took the lead, and Zhou Rui's family next to her was grateful. In the rush, no one saw anything wrong.

Not to mention how Jia Yingchun prepared here, but said that Xiuju had been instructed, and hurried to the front yard to search for people, only to know that Sun Shaozong had not left the residence, but was entertaining guests in the hall.

Xiuju went to the door of the living room again, planning to wait for Sun Shaozong to see off the guests, and then reported that Jia Baoyu was seriously ill and sent someone to borrow the old ginseng at home.

"...Shen Lian couldn't repay the love and love of the adults..."

"Yesterday, in front of Master Xue, it was really inconvenient to pass him, but Shen Lian knew in his heart that Master Xue's willingness to part with me depends on you to deal with it...

"Wait for the bride to come..."

Since he is guarding the door, he will inevitably hear something, which is vaguely vague, but it seems that his second master has protected a big match for others.

But Xiuju didn't think much about it, and just waited for the guest to leave, and then went in to report.

When he heard that Jia Baoyu was seriously ill, and even needed to prepare the old ginseng to hang himself, Sun Shaozong was also taken aback, and immediately ordered someone to go to the yamen to sue for half-day leave, and planned to go to Rongguo Mansion with Jia Yingchun to visit.
