The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 10 What's Wrong
There are about 20 taels for the two ingots and some scattered silver, totaling more than 20 taels in total.

With this money, he can hire a doctor and get medicine by himself. Just like before, he can spend money to buy food from the house, and he can also buy winter clothes.

In this way, he does not need to owe Jia's favor.

He didn't have to worry about not being able to sell the cloak, or causing trouble if he sold it.

As for this person's favor, he will always have the opportunity to repay it in the future. Since the other person is kind to him, this person makes him feel more at ease compared to the Jia family.

"The third master got this? And this cloak, where did it come from?" Huaping was very uneasy again.

"I got it with two poems!" Jia Cong knew that if he just knelt in the snow and begged Jia's family, although he could win some sympathy, no one would be willing to help him, a three-foot-tall child. .

A cloak is actually a talisman.

After all, some people took a fancy to his two poems and were willing to take a high look at him.

It's really shameful. In fact, he just plagiarized other people's achievements, but it is also the magic weapon that most time-travelers rely on to survive. He just imitated his predecessors. Although it is embarrassing, it is helpless.

Hearing that it was in exchange, Huaping lost his worries and said, "Oh, Third Master is soaked to the skin. Hurry up and put on your clothes. It won't be good if you catch a cold."

She hurriedly took the clothes for Jia Cong to change. Jia Cong also felt cold. He wiped his body with a handkerchief and rubbed it to heat it up. Then he changed clothes and came out. "You take the silver and exchange it for some charcoal. Give me more." Put some money in the kitchen and let's have a full meal today."

"Hey, that's great!" Huaping pinched some broken silver and went out.

Jin Chuan'er led the doctor over, followed by two women, one carrying a food box and the other carrying a basket of gray flower charcoal. She walked over, saw the painting screen in front of her, and called out, "Master Cong, are you there?" ?”

Jia Cong covered Mrs. Zhong's body with the black fox fur cloak and looked at Mrs. Zhong's sick appearance anxiously. He knew that for the sake of face, the Jia family would not let Mrs. Zhong die now. They would definitely think He tried to diagnose and treat Zhong, but the doctor didn't come for a while, so he had to worry for a while.

Or, if Jia She insists on being shameless, he will have to find another way. Fortunately, he now has money.

Jia Cong stood up and walked out, and saw a girl with a face like a silver plate and a face like autumn water coming in with Huaping. She was wearing a red silk coat and a green satin waistcoat. She behaved neatly and saluted Jia Cong, " Third Master Cong, the second wife asked me to bring a doctor to diagnose Aunt Zhong, and bring a message to the third master, saying that early tomorrow morning, the third master should go and pay his respects to the old lady!"

According to the rules, the younger generation should prepare the morning and dusk for the elders every day.

But Jia Mu only dotes on her legitimate grandsons and granddaughters. She has always disliked their grandsons who were born from concubines. She has already told him that he and Jia Huan will not have to deal with people like him. They say it is a long way, but in fact they don't want to see them. .

Although Jia Cong now has money, he did not earn it through his own efforts, and his sense of crisis has not diminished by half. He also plans to go out early tomorrow morning to see if he can find some business opportunities.

Secondly, he knew very well what Jia Mu wanted to see him for, and he didn't want to send her to her door to be disciplined. He had never received any kindness from this family, so he had no obligation to listen to lectures and please his elders.

Jia Cong did not comment and called out "Sister Jinchuan'er!" There was no fault in the etiquette.

Jin Chuan'er was the son of the family in the mansion. She was born very well, and she was a first-class maidservant to Mrs. Wang. It was not too much to think that she would become Jia Baoyu's housekeeper in the future.

However, she was really naive and should not have said some inappropriate words in front of Mrs. Wang. She said "the golden hairpin fell into the well" and lost her life. She was one of the first batch of maids in the Jia Mansion to die in vain.

At this time, she looked a little arrogant in her description. When she saw that Jia Cong was wearing a clean and thin jacket and was not shrinking in this ice cave-like room, and his words and deeds were calm and peaceful that was inconsistent with his age, she then Unknowingly, I put away that contempt.

On the bed, the black fox fur cloak was really out of place in this humble room.The doctor was also much more cautious when diagnosing Zhong's pulse. Since he came here under orders and received instructions from the head of the Jia family to cure the aunt's illness, he couldn't help but be more meticulous.

Huaping took the big pillow and pulled up Zhong's sleeves to reveal his pulse.

The doctor took the pulse on the left side first, and then on the right side. The doctor thought for a moment and then put away the pulse pillow.

The doctor put his hand on the pulse of his right hand, adjusted his breath to a certain number, and examined it carefully for half a moment. Then he switched to his left hand, and the same thing happened again.After checking the pulse, he stood up.

Jia Cong asked the doctor outside, unavoidably nervous. While gesturing to draw the screen to prepare the consultation fee, he asked, "Doctor, how is my aunt's pulse?"

"The patient's complexion is pale and dull, which is a sign of spleen deficiency and lack of Qi and blood. His heavy and turbid breathing is caused by external wind and cold, lack of lung Qi, and damage to the middle Qi. I wonder if he wakes up frequently at night?"

Huaping hurriedly explained the situation, "I always wake up five or six times a night, and I never sleep peacefully."

"That's it, based on the pulse..."

After Jia Cong finished listening to his ramble, he asked, "I wonder what medicine is appropriate? Is it a serious problem?"

"If you can survive this winter and don't reduce the medicine, you should be fine next spring. You will slowly recover and you may be able to recover."

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and asked the doctor to write a prescription. Seeing that the medicines in it were not cheap, he understood the meaning of "do not reduce the decoction and medicine".

Jia Cong took the money and paid the doctor's consultation fee.

Jin Chuan'er was taken aback and didn't know whether to stop her or not. She also thought that the medical fee must be paid. If she paid it here, the wife would still have some money left over there. , simply ignore it.

She left charcoal fire and food for Jia Cong and went back to reply.

When Mrs. Xing heard from Wang Shanbao's family that Jin Chuan'er had brought a doctor over there, she was very unconvinced and sneered, "It's really funny, and the younger brother and sister are in charge of the life and death of the people in the uncle's house!"

Wang Shanbao said, "This is not the truth. It would be outrageous to spread this."

She knew clearly that Mrs. Wang's involvement in this matter must be based on the old lady's orders, but the lady liked to hear such words, so she went along with it.

And she also felt weird and panicked in her heart. If a seven-year-old child could do such a thing without anyone's instructions, he would still be wet and dry!
Jia She had given up a long time ago and asked people to find out who the steward was. It was dark, but no useful information could be found. The people around him gave him advice, "Shi Weng has seen it clearly. That cloak is indeed Could it be made of black fox fur and silk?"

Jia She was still a little hesitant. After all, he was so angry at the time that he was afraid of being dazzled for a moment.

Another person took over, "What does black fox skin have to do with black fox skin? Although black fox skin is extremely expensive in our country, black fox skin is second only to red fox, mink, lynx, and tiger." Skins of leopards, sea otters, river otters, green rats, yellow squirrels, etc., for national use.”

Some people were not willing to lag behind, "That's right, and since the Tang Dynasty, the river silk has been exclusively offered as tribute and is not available to anyone else."

Jia She had a breath of bad breath stuck in his chest, which made his face turn purple.

Seeing this, a staff member named Pu Zhichi groaned and said, "Old man, I think that the poem "Two Swallows on the Liang" is somewhat inappropriate!"

　The first!
