dream of red mansion

Chapter 170 Ginseng Can Boost Energy

"Three years ago, when I went back to Wudang Mountain to look for my master, I found out that my master was already sick in bed.

Later, when I asked the master, I found out that when Master was wandering around the world, because of his good intentions, he had a grudge with the bad guys, and was assassinated by someone, hurting the internal organs, and there was no cure.

Then go back to the mountain and prepare to return to the roots. "

At Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qing quietly listened to Liu Xianglian tell his story one by one.

"When I went back, Master was dying. The old man was very happy to see me go back. But, looking at his dying body, how could I be happy? I went down the mountain to ask for a doctor, but, Everyone said that there was no cure, and the six internal organs were all broken.
The master uncle also comforted him, saying that life and death are destiny, and the master and the old man have already passed the seventy-seventh year, and one life is enough.

In desperation, I had no choice but to accept my fate, and prepared to guard Master with peace of mind after he died, and then to keep a filial piety for him on the mountain. "

As soon as Jia Qing heard it, she knew that there must be a reversal, otherwise Liu Xianglian would not be here.

Sure enough, the sorrowful look on Liu Xianglian's face turned into a hint of joy, and she continued:
"Just when Master was about to die and I was even getting ready for my outfit, it happened that the old head of our Wudang School, Yunyou, who hadn't returned for many years, actually returned to the mountain.

Then, with his supreme divine power, he unexpectedly brought together my master's broken six viscera!
It's just that it's a bit late.The old master exhausted his internal diameter, but after all, he still couldn't completely succeed, but barely stopped the momentum of corruption.

Fortunately, his life was finally saved.

However, the old master said that if the injury is to be completely cured, the only way is to use ginseng and other things as a guide every day to nourish the body, or it may be possible to replenish the lost vitality.At that time, he will make a move again, use the same method to disperse and guide with internal strength, maybe he will recover one day.

I was overjoyed to hear that Master still had hope of recovery!

There are many things to nourish qi, and the most effective one is old ginseng.However, Wudang Mountain is a place for cultivating Taoism and neglects money and things.This ginseng and other things are extremely expensive things, and the old ginseng with a little age can cost thousands of silver!
How can Wudang Mountain have such money and goods?Fortunately, the elders on the mountain and others have hidden some, which can solve the urgent need.I also went down the mountain to visit relatives and friends, and borrowed money to buy ginseng.

When manpower was limited, I later heard that all kinds of ginseng were easy to grow in the bitter and cold Northeast.As a last resort, I had to push hard here. "

Hearing this, Jia Qing was startled and said, "How dare you? That's the base camp of the Tazi people over there!"

Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "Yes, although I tried my best to avoid it, but after a long time, I was still discovered. Then they sent people to hunt and kill me. Fortunately, I escaped and came back."

Jia Qing saw that he said it easily, and asked, "Is there any gain?"

Liu Xianglian smiled and took out a bag of things from her bosom, opened it, and sure enough, there were six or seven top-quality yellow ginseng mixed with soil.In one of them, the trunk was as thick as two fingers, and it was almost perfect!
"Brother Liu is indeed very human!"

That's right, according to Liu Xianglian's achievements, a trip to Baishan Heishui will bring in tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is better than any business!
Liu Xianglian was obviously also very happy.But immediately fell down again: "That's all, I'm afraid it can only be used for half a year, and I don't know if it can take care of Master's body. By the way, after a few months, the medicine at Master's place is probably gone. It's broken, I can't delay any longer!
Brother Jia Xian, let me bid farewell! "

Talking about playing, Liu Xianglian couldn't wait to stand up.

Jia Qing naturally saw his anxious expression.He grabbed him and said:

"Brother Liu, wait a little longer!"

After speaking, he turned and entered the back house.After a while, Jia Qing came back again.

Liu Xianglian said: "I know Brother Jia wants to help me, but my teacher's injury is too costly, and there are other ways for my brother, so don't worry about it."

It's not that Liu Xianglian has never dealt with the sons of the Duke's mansion who are not in charge, and knows that although their status is more noble than ordinary people, they don't actually have much silver in their pockets.

The reason why he is willing to wait here is not because he thinks that Jia Qing can give him a lot of money, but because he appreciates Jia Qing's character and character, and it is not easy to leave.Knowing that Jia Qing has good intentions, that's the way to say it.

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Brother Liu is underestimating people this time, let's talk again, and I promise not to disappoint Brother Liu!"

In this way, Liu Xianglian had no choice but to suppress her impatience, and sat down to talk to Jia Qing with the intention of seeing what happened.

……

On Jiamu's side, when distant relatives came, it was natural that there would be a welcome banquet.

The Rongguo Mansion had already prepared a banquet in the dining room of the Rongqing Hall, and served the food and wine.After exchanging pleasantries for a while, it was natural to go into the house to clean up Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.

Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others sat at the same table, while Xue Baochai and Daiyu sat at the same table.There are two tables in total, and there are more than ten people in total, Wang Xifeng and the others don't need to set any rules, they all sit down to accompany the guests.

"I heard that you are going to Beijing early in the morning. I am looking forward to it every day. Finally, I am looking forward to your coming! I am thinking that your house in Beijing will be lived in by everyone for many years. How about this? Let's move to our mansion first. Take it easy, on weekdays, it's better to be with your sister as a companion, or let's play a game of cards together, I'm afraid it will be more lively than living alone!"

As soon as she sat down, Mother Jia opened her mouth to show mercy.

Aunt Xue said:

"Since the old lady said so, how can the junior not obey her orders? I can only disturb you."

"Where is it, your sister has already prepared a yard for you. Just to the northeast of our mansion, there is a place called Lixiangyuan. It was originally used by the grandfather of the former state... It is a small and exquisite house with ten or so rooms. There is also a door leading to the back street of our mansion, which is convenient for your brother to enter and exit. By the way, where is my brother?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Lian'er will lead you to see the master."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "He is a horse without a rein, the old lady doesn't care about him."

……

Mother Jia's table was full of chatter, and the younger generation's table was also full of heated discussions.

"Sister Bao, when did you set off? How long did you go? What places of interest did you see along the way?..."

Jia Baoyu was always familiar in front of the girls, and he kept asking Xue Baochai questions one after another.

Tanchun said: "Sister Jiabao has driven such a long way, and she is tired at the moment. Brother Pianbao, you have so many problems, and you don't let anyone rest for a while."

Xue Baochai replied gently: "We set off in March, but we had to carry a lot of sundries and visit famous places along the way, so it took us so long."

Yingchun usually doesn't talk much, but now seeing Xue Baochai's kind and amiable appearance, she couldn't help asking:
"Sister, what monuments have you visited? Tell us about it."

Xue Baochai said: "If you want to talk about ancient sites, I don't know how many ancient sites have been left over from the past dynasties, but I can't finish this meeting... I will only talk about a few."

"Sister, please tell me."

Xue Baochai sorted out his thoughts, and pondered: "Like the Huitong Bridge, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty, the whole body is made of bricks and stones. The bridge is about six or seven meters long, three or four meters wide, and three or four meters high. m. There is a hole in the middle, and the bridge deck is very stable. There is also the Chaoguan in the Ming Dynasty, and now there is another one in Linqing Mansion. My mother and I went up to have a look last month. It's all wasted."

"Sister Bao, what is copying customs?" Jia Baoyu asked.

"Hee hee, I don't even know about copying the customs, thanks to the fact that you have studied so many books! That is the yamen used to supervise water transportation."

Lin Daiyu disapproved of all the sisters listening attentively to Xue Baochai's talk about the historic site of the canal.She's been through this too!So, taking an opportunity, she slightly mocked Jia Baoyu, and she gave the answer.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "What my sister said is very true. Customs clearance is used to supervise the water transportation tax. It's just that this is not used now, so it can only be used for people to watch and see, it is not worth anything."

Jia Baoyu has long been familiar with Lin Daiyu's willful speaking style.Pretending not to hear, Jia Baoyu continued to chase: "Sister Bao, tell me two more things."

"Baoyu, your elder sister Bao just came, don't just be happy for yourself, get up quickly, pour wine for your sisters, let them all have a drink!"

This is Jia Mu's voice.

Jia Baoyu had no choice but to stand up immediately, took the jug from the maid's hand, and toasted the sisters in order!
