Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 393 is Ginseng Yangrong Pills
The next day,

it's getting brighter,

The snow has stopped in various parts of the pass, but the temperature is a bit unsatisfactory, and the chill penetrates the bones.

Zhang Jinyu slept in the cabin. He had been restless and fell asleep early in the morning. Now that the sky was bright, he got up to change clothes. After washing, he came out to check on the fleet.

On the vast Grand Canal, it seemed that it was not affected by the snow at all. The entire fleet also began to unfurl its sails and speed forward. Occasionally, the ship encountered some ice, and it also broke through the ice and waves without any obstruction.

Standing on the deck, Zhang Jinyu looked at the wide river, feeling relaxed. The big boat was still stable, but the small boat was frightened.

When I went to Jiangnan before, I had never been on a court ship. I hurried to Jinling City before I got used to it. Now I went back and had a good experience.

Suddenly, I felt a faint fragrance coming from behind me, and the smell coming from the tip of my nose was very familiar. It was Qin Keqing's body fragrance.

Turn around and look,
Sure enough, it was Qin Keqing wearing a fox fur coat and walking out with the orbs and auspicious beads. Not far away, the silly and cute girl Xiangling followed at the end.

Zhang Jinyu deliberately took a second look, walked over and put his arms around Qin Keqing's waist, and continued to look at the river bank. Qin Keqing nestled in his arms, with slightly red cheeks, looking at the two banks in the distance.

After a while,
Qin Keqing asked;
"Mr. Lang, is there something on your mind?"

"It's not available at the moment. It should be available in the future?"

"Mr. Lang is joking. If you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it. It's already here. I'm stupid and don't understand. But before you have it, you'd better go and have some breakfast. Don't lose yourself."

Qin Keqing covered her mouth and smiled. Lang Jun's joke was quite interesting, but he had to eat and comfort him.

"Listen to Keqing, I haven't gone back to pay my respects to my mother yet, by the way. Keqing, how is Xiangling doing now?"

Zhang Jinyu glanced at Qin Keqing, wanting to ask about this girl's current situation and see if there was anything suspicious. Qin Keqing turned back and glanced at the girl who was following far behind.
Then he shook his head and replied,
"You have a good heart. You may seem stupid, but you actually know what you are doing. It's just because you were stimulated when you were a child. I feel sorry for you. You won't cause any trouble by following me and my mother. Don't worry, sir. The slave family knows what to do."

Looking at Xiang Ling who was still standing there stupidly, Qin Keqing's eyes flashed with kindness, as if she were her own sister, and Xiang Ling actually knew how to read, especially after she read the calligraphy written by Lang Jun, she was so thin. Qin Keqing was greatly surprised to learn the thin handwriting and write well.

"By the way, Lang Jun, Xiangling learns things very quickly. The little girl has learned your handwriting seven or eight points, and she can write it with style."

"What, she can learn it."

How could Zhang Jinyu believe that there was no such thing as a thin golden body and a powerful weapon? It took me a long time to copy it from memory before I figured out how to write it. That cute girl could write it.

Just as I was thinking about it, the cold wind blew,
Qin Keqing blew up the fox fur she was wrapped in, revealing her collar, and her face instantly turned pale from the cold.

Seeing this, Zhang Jinyu turned around and tied the fox fur on Qin Keqing's chest tighter, which made Qin Keqing blush with embarrassment. Zhang Jinyu's mouth was dry and she couldn't help but put her hands down.

"But sir, it's cold outside and very cold. So don't stand here anymore. It's better to go back and have a meal."

Qin Keqing nodded,
"The Nu family knows that Lang Jun needs to hurry up and go back to eat something. Sister Daiyu, don't worry, the Nu family is watching over you. Now that Sister Lin is cured, her body bones are too weak. Zixiang made ginseng soup. , drink a little every day, and also said that we need to use good ginseng, and it would be better to make some pills and swallow them. Fortunately, my mother brought a few on the ship, otherwise, where would I find them in Jiangnan? "

Zhang Jinyu did not expect that Lin Daiyu would drink ginseng soup at such a young age. As for the pills, they were not the famous Ginseng Yangrong Pills, but she didn’t know whether this Ginseng Yangrong Pills nourished Lin Daiyu or Lin Daiyu at that time. Just like living ginseng nourishes Rongguo Mansion. Unfortunately, whether it is true or not, Rongguo Mansion will not have so many good things in the future.

"This is a trivial matter. I don't dare to talk about anything else. Wild ginseng is everywhere. There are still several carts of ginseng in the house that have not been moved. You can eat it as you like. But I am still thinking about one thing and I don't know how to deal with it? "

Qin Keqing blinked and asked with a smile,

"The husband is indeed majestic. You can eat ginseng as food. Do you know that the wealthy families in the capital are asking for ginseng? Sister Lin's complexion is much better now. Just take one pill every day. If you take more, you will be fine." It’s hurting your body, but what’s wrong with Mr. Lang that you don’t know how to deal with?”

Zhang Jinyu held Keqing's hands and hugged Qin Keqing's shoulders.
"This time in Jinling City, Jia Wenfu, a member of the Jiufang clan of the Jia family, was massacred by me. Although there was the understanding of the Rongguo Mansion before, he is a member of the Jia family after all. It is inevitable that the Jia family in the capital will have ideas, even now No, it will inevitably happen in the future. Yu'er will go to Rongguo Mansion. Things will inevitably be troubled here. I wanted to prevent her from going, but because of her parents' death, I dare not not do it. I haven't thought about how to go. good?"

Qin Keqing thought it was something, but he didn't expect it to be this. Isn't this just like the poor relatives who came to ask for help in a small family in the past?
When I was in the Qin Mansion, there were many poor people around. The so-called taking refuge with relatives just had a good reputation. In fact, it was like begging. Many people were sent back after having a full meal.

However, there are many rules for the so-called surrender of high-ranking princes and princes.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang. Since you are seeking refuge with relatives, there are sayings. One is to seek refuge with one's whole body. The penniless person will naturally take care of it. The other is to seek refuge with relatives, but it can also be regarded as borrowing money. In addition to The place they live in belongs to them, and everything else must be separated and each has his own use. Even the servants' expenses are paid by the Marquis Mansion, so that's different." Zhang Jinyu's eyes lit up, and he understood what Qin Keqing meant, that is It's the same as paying for accommodation, so it's easy to handle. It's just a matter of money and servants. You can just send some personal guards to protect you when the time comes.
"Keqing is still thoughtful. In the future, Keqing will still have to pay more attention to the family."

Looking at Qin Keqing's gentle appearance, skills and thoughts, there is a vague figure of Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng's character is simply violent. No wonder Jia Lian will be extremely indifferent to her in the future, and finally die alone, but she feels pity for her pride. She is a charming woman who dares to love and hate, and is decisive in doing things. When she governs the Ningguo Mansion and takes care of the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, it can be seen that she has amazing management and organizational skills and family management methods. There is a saying that "Whoever governs the country with thousands of gold and purples can only have one or two skirts and hairpins." "You can bring your family together."

Qin Keqing's methods may not be inferior to hers, and she doesn't know whether it will be good or bad in the future. Qin Keqing opened her red lips slightly and replied in a low voice,

"Yes, the slave family knows."

Jinling Xue Mansion,

early in the morning,
Aunt Xue got up early and noisily urged the people in the house to start moving the luggage. As for the money, except for the 1 taels of silver loaded into the car, the rest had already been exchanged for banknotes and locked in the box.

The rest were for daily use and were not willing to throw them away. Xue Pan and Baochai were also called up by Aunt Xue. They packed their luggage and worked hard all morning. When the carriage frame was ready, Xue Pan couldn't help but ask,

"Mom, what are you doing in such a hurry? It's still so early, why don't you take a good rest before leaving."

Xue Pan still had some regrets in his heart. The leading oiran of the Qinhuai River had never had a romantic relationship with him, which was a pity that made him feel uncomfortable every time he thought about it. If he went to the capital now, he would definitely not be able to come back easily to Jinling in the future, fearing that he would not have a chance. , but there should be brothels in the capital.

"What are you thinking about? If you don't leave now, who can protect you if you get into trouble? Quickly, pack up and leave immediately."

"That's right, brother needs to hurry up, stop complaining, and start early."

Xue Baochai was also beside him to comfort him. They all knew that Xue Pan was prone to causing trouble outside. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. It was better to enter the capital as early as possible.

Xue Pan had no choice but to arrange the waiters dejectedly. The four of them had a simple breakfast. Without waiting for daylight, he ordered Uncle Zhong to take the servants and maids to set off. As for the old house, let the old people in the mansion take care of it. Looking at it, all the expenses were as before. When Aunt Xue left, her eyes were filled with tears, and her reluctance to leave was beyond words. She took one last look at the old house and closed the door with her own hands.

"Let's go."

Baochai and Xue Pan stood behind them, silent, looking at the vermilion gate. They didn't know when they would come back. They sighed, got on the carriage and went straight to the dock.

On the other hand, Jia Lian from the Guards Camp did not sleep well all night. After a short nap in the morning, he could no longer fall back asleep. He changed clothes, woke everyone up, washed briefly, and then took the people to the dock market town to find whatever they wanted. Went to a hawker and sat down to have breakfast.

"Second Master, do you think we can leave today?"

Lai Wang was a little worried. If the second master left Jiangnan later and the Lin family's daughter entered the capital, and the second mistress found out, he would be doomed. He would probably shed his skin even if he didn't die.

"Yes, Second Master, do you want me to ask the younger one?"

Zhaoer was also uneasy, and Jia Lian also felt guilty. Although he still had money, he couldn't move it easily. After a trip to Jiangnan, the things the old lady told him were not completed, let alone what the second wife told him. , if the money is used up, it will not be justified.

"There's no rush. Just wait for one more day. If you still don't come, it's not too late to go to your house. Let's go back and wait after eating."

Just as a few people were eating, a dozen large vehicles in front of and behind the Xue family's motorcade drove up the official road. Lai Wang saw it at a glance at the intersection, and then pointed at the motorcade,
"Second Master, look over there, the carriage coming up the official road, could it be someone from the Xue family?"

Jia Lian put down his bowl and chopsticks, raised his head and looked over. There were more than a dozen carriages, followed by servants around him. There was another person riding on a horse in front. He was wearing a purple coat. He was quite wealthy. The person coming was Xue Pan. , yes, it’s him!
Jia Lian put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up and said;

"Stop eating, people are coming."

Then Jia Lian led a group of people back to the camp, but did not greet them.

Although in the capital, the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion is dominated by Jia Zheng, but Jia Zheng is not good at dealing with foreign affairs. Jia Lian is almost always involved in the family's interpersonal relationships. Wang Xifeng arranges it, and the two of them handle it, so after two or three years , Jia Lian's eyesight was actually developed.

Although he could not be as good at dancing as Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian was able to receive ordinary favors and handle affairs with others, and he did not make any mistakes.

"Yes, Second Master!"
