The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 47 The Story of Wild Ginseng

But on the first day of the new year, Qin Ye accidentally slipped and became bedridden.

I invited the doctor to come and take a look. I have taken all kinds of medicine.

More than ten days have passed and there is still no improvement.

Human beings are getting thinner day by day, and are about to reach the next life.

You Xiaoniang and Qin Keqing were so anxious that they almost died!
But they are a woman's family, and they can't get out of the door without taking a step forward, so they can only worry.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the government opened its offices and issued seals. It was heard that Qin Ye fell ill and could not govern.

After leaving the Yamen, Jia Zheng took a carriage to visit Qin's house and invited Dr. Wang, who was enshrined in Rongguo Mansion, to come and see him.

As expected, Imperial Physician Wang was very skilled in medicine. He just took a pulse and looked at Qin Ye's face, and quickly wrote a prescription.

The medicinal materials above are all ordinary, just one piece, but the medicinal ingredient is a century-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, which is hard to find.

These treasures are all tribute from foreign countries!
that is,

Occasionally, those who live among the people are secretly collected by powerful people early in the morning for later use.

Qin Ye, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, is a fifth-rank official in the capital.

虽，
In charge of the official construction of the world, such as the repair of palaces, royal mausoleums, etc., the money in his hands exceeds millions!

However, he is a low-level official and not a Jinshi. He guards the treasure mountain but cannot support his family.

I can only give money to a powerful family like Ning Guofu to protect my official position. People in the world call them "white gloves", so this is what they call it!

After searching for several days, she couldn't find Laoshan Ginseng on the market, so You Xiaoniang thought of Ningguo Mansion.

However, now that Jia Dai is in charge, the friendship between the two families is inseparable.

It is no longer the time for Jia Dai to change. Everything is handled by Jia Zhen. Just ask Youshi and it can be done.

I don’t know if Jia Dai is willing to help.

I heard that Jia Dai had not married yet and had no one in the house. I guessed that he must have a disdain for vulgar people.

You Xiaoniang then thought of her adopted daughter - Qin Keqing.

Although she is less than fourteen years old, she is like a clear water hibiscus, charming but not vulgar. She is so beautiful that she is astonished by the sight of her.

In order to save his father and repay the kindness of raising him, You Xiaoniang begged softly, and Qin Keqing was already willing.

Today, You Xiaoniang brought Qin Keqing and two young maids to the Ningguo Mansion to ask for an audience with You and help introduce her, so that she could get ginseng as soon as possible and save Qin Ye's life.

"Aunt, it's not that I don't agree, it's really..."

Sitting on the fire bed, Mr. You was speechless.

Jia Dai has been engaged for a long time, and the old man personally arranged it. He is the daughter of the Jinling royal family.

What's more, her aunt is Mrs. Wang, now the head of Xifu.

How dare you send a woman to Jia Dai's room!
In the future, when Wang Xifeng comes in, why not tear her apart?

He waved his hands repeatedly, but Youshi refused to agree.

"Sister, back then, when you were able to enter the Ningguo Mansion, your uncle also worked hard."

"Now, he is seriously ill and bedridden. He needs to use Changbai Mountain's century-old wild ginseng as medicine to save his life."

"Besides, you are General Jia's sister-in-law,"

"People say that a sister-in-law is like a mother. General Jia will definitely not refuse your words."

If you can exchange your adopted daughter Qin Keqing for the wealth and honor of the Qin family, You Xiaoniang will definitely be willing to do so.

With You's beauty and beauty, she became Jia Zhen's step-mother. Why couldn't Ke'er, who was so beautiful and beautiful, become Jia Dai's concubine?

Could it be that Sister You is jealous?

The more she thought about it, the more You Xiaoniang felt that it was possible, and she was determined to send Qin Keqing to Ningguo Mansion so that she could enjoy the wealth and honor along with her.

Look at this softness, look at this brocade pillow, look at this Jingdezhen official kiln porcelain, look at the ornaments in the heating cabinet...

Gee...

Which is not a precious thing in this world.

What Ningguo Mansion offers is first-class wealth and style. It doesn't make sense, what others can have, Ke'er can't have!

The seeds of jealousy took root in You Xiaoniang's heart and grew into a towering tree.

She just didn't believe what Youshi said and turned a deaf ear to it. If it went in with her left ear, it would come out with her right ear.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade You Xiaoniang, You had no choice but to agree.

It's just that Jia Dai is not easy to meet, or in other words, meeting him depends on luck.

He is different from ordinary young masters, he has no rules at all.

In Ningguo Mansion, Jia Dai is the sky!

Although Jia Dai respected Aunt Xing, he improved her living standards and allocated a good yard for her to live in.

However, there is no calmness in the morning and dusk.

Now Aunt Xing is the most distinguished elder in Ningguo Mansion, but she is completely different from Jia Mu in Xi Mansion.

The three ladies of the You family took a carriage, went out of the west corner gate, passed the main gate of Ningguo Mansion, entered through the east corner gate, and got off the carriage when they arrived at Eryi Gate.

A maid came forward to help them get out of the car, "I've seen Grandma You!"

Under Jia Dai's iron-fisted rectification, the order of the Ningguo Mansion was completely clear. The slaves were slaves and the master was the master. The lines of distinction were clear and could not be exceeded.

The three of you got off the carriage and pretended to ask casually, "Uncle Dai, are you in the mansion today?"

Sister-in-law wants to see brother-in-law?

How do you say it? It doesn’t sound good!

After receiving a positive reply, the three You family members followed the nanny inside to Aunt Xing's courtyard.

People say: three women, one drama.

When all the women get together, what can’t they say?

After being greeted and seated, the aged Aunt Xing stared at Qin Keqing for a long time. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to burrow into.

Qin Keqing also doesn't want to be small at heart.

However, she was born into such a family, with such status, and was born with this fate.

It is said that the heroic young man Jia Dai is a rare Qilin'er in the Jia family for a hundred years, so it does not mean that she has been wronged.

However, whether others will agree or not is still a matter of choice.

In this way, wouldn't I become an object for others to pick on?

Thinking of this, Qin Keqing felt sad again.

Between sadness and joy, the little daughter's mood is even more pure and intoxicating.

Aunt Xing, who was also a woman, was dumbfounded and sighed sincerely:

"But she is a rare beauty!"

Jia Dai did not like to molest children as outsiders said. It was actually because of his spiritual body, taking medicinal baths and toiling his body.

A few days ago, Aunt Xing saw that he had sold a maid named Hua and kept her in the room to serve her.

The color is acceptable, but much worse than the Qin Keqing in front of me.

You Xiaoniang was overjoyed to receive Aunt Xing's approval. She patted Qin Keqing's little hand gently, as if to convey this joy to her.

Qin Keqing's mouth curved and she forced a smile, which was considered a response.

Deep down in my heart, I feel a little unwilling!

It is said that young girls are pregnant, but at this age, Qin Keqing has not imagined in her mind what kind of person her future husband will be.

How can anyone laugh when they are treated as an object of choice? How could Qin Keqing be as beautiful as a fairy?
Aunt Xing knew that her position in the house was awkward, so she could live happily only by holding Jia Dai tightly.

Giving a beauty as a gift is a good way to solidify your favor.

Besides, she is Jia Dai's elder. Others will only take it as a matter of course and will not think otherwise. This is exactly what Aunt Xing wants.

Accept it and keep it with you. When Jia Dai'an can't bear it anymore, you will reward him. How can you not teach Jia Dai to be grateful?

It’s just a piece of Changbai Mountain’s century-old wild ginseng. Last time, the Li family in Liaodong Town sent many of them. It’s not a pity!
