Chapter 284: Ginseng
Mrs. Wang heard Jia Ke's words just now, and now where do she dare to hesitate, she immediately ordered her henchman Zhou Rui's family to go on a personal trip. Until now, she didn't trust those hairy little maids, so she still sent her own henchmen, and the old Cheng of Zhou Rui's family was more assured.
Zhou Rui's family got the order, where did they dare to hesitate and trot all the way, just like the Marquis of Wuyang ran to the mansion, this time in order to save the life of their second master, there was a delay there.
Zhou Rui's family received Mrs. Wang's order, and ran away with small steps like the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion. Along the way, they didn't dare to say hello when they met acquaintances, for fear of delaying time, if the second master had three long and two short, Mrs. would not spare their family.
Zhou Rui's family didn't dare to stop all the way as soon as they came to the Wuwei Hall of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, Qin Keqing lived in the compound behind the Wuwei Hall.
Zhou Rui's family broke into Wuwei Hall all the way, and a few maids and women along the way couldn't stop her, knowing who she was, so they didn't dare to block her too much, so they let her come to the few big rooms where Qin Keqing lived behind Wuwei Hall.
When she got here, she still wanted to break in, but was blocked by an old woman at the door, although Zhou Rui's family was in a hurry, seeing this old woman's face, and for some reason only saw his sharp eyes, and her heart was empty. I didn't dare to break in again, so I anxiously said to the old grandmother, "This sister, it was the uncle who ordered me to come to see the eldest grandmother, the second master in our house is now dying, the uncle asked me to come to the eldest grandmother to get medicine, please make it convenient for the old sister to let me in." ”
So that the old lady was unmoved, but after waiting for a while, a little girl ran out and said to the old woman, "Mama Zhang, the eldest grandmother said to let Zhou Rui's family go in quickly." ”
This old lady listened, and then let go of her arm and let go of Zhou Rui's past.
Zhou Rui's family followed the little girl into the inner room, and saw Qin Keqing sitting on the soft couch in the room, and Aunt Zhou sitting next to him.
When Qin Keqing and Aunt Zhou went to Rongguo Mansion before Jia Ke, they heard that Jia Zhu was seriously ill, and the two of them were discussing Jia Zhu's condition at that time. Suddenly heard a noise outside, and when the little girl went out, she found out that Zhou Rui's family had broken in, but in the end she was blocked out of the house by Mama Zhang.
Qin Keqing thought that if there was no major event, Zhou Rui's family would not be so bold as to dare to break into her inner house, so she ordered the little girl to tell Mama Zhang to let Zhou Rui's family come in.
As soon as Zhou Rui's family saw Qin Keqing, they immediately knelt on the ground, with a cry in their tone: "Grandma, our second master is not good." The uncle said that there was a ginseng that was thousands of years old in the house, and said that he asked me to pick it up in that sandalwood box. ”
Qin Keqing knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, almost all of the precious medicinal materials in the treasury of their house were packed in sandalwood boxes, and there were more than a dozen ginseng sticks, Jia Ke meant to let her take a precious ginseng and send it over.
And when she saw the appearance of Zhou Rui's family, she thought that the matter was urgent, so she called the orchid grass next to her, and then took out a bunch of keys from her waist to select one of them, and then took out a pair of cards from the kang table next to her, and then took out a piece of paper on the table, wrote a few lines on it, handed it to Lan Xiang, and then instructed her: "That ginseng, in the sandalwood box on the top of the Duobao Pavilion, you quickly take it." ”
Lan Xiang didn't dare to slack off after taking the key, so she hurried out of the room.
Lan Xiang hurriedly came to the treasury of the Marquis of Wuyang, and was stopped in front of the treasury by Wu Zhong, who was guarding the warehouse.
This Wu Zhong is Chuncao's father, who is not good at colluding with people, but he is very honest, and now he is working as a warehouse supervisor in Wuyang Houfu, and sometimes he is patrolling back and forth in the warehouse with three or five small servants.
When Wu Zhong saw Lan Xiang, he asked sullenly, "Aunt Lan Xiang, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”
Lan Xiang said anxiously: "I came to the warehouse to pick up things on the order of my grandmother, which is urgent." ”
As he spoke, he showed Wu Zhong the pair of cards and keys, and then handed the note to Wu Zhong, Wu Zhong took it, and took a closer look at the original medicinal herbs, and wanted to take a ginseng in the warehouse. Then he checked the pair of cards, and then led Lanxiang to a warehouse, only to see that this time there were two big locks on the door of the warehouse.
Wu Zhong silently took out a bunch of keys from his arms, opened one of the locks, and then stepped back to the side.
Lan Xiang stepped forward, took out the key in his hand and opened another lock, and then Wu Zhong led Lan Cao into the warehouse.
Wu Zhong was very familiar with the scene in the empty room, and soon took the Southern Dynasty to a Duobao Pavilion, Lan Xiang looked at the Duobao Pavilion, which was neatly placed on the wooden boxes of large and small sandalwood, which shocked Lan Xiang.
You must know that this large and small box itself is very valuable, plus the medicinal herbs inside. It can be said that every box is a priceless treasure.
Lan Xiang didn't dare to stay longer, according to Qin Keqing's instructions, from the top of this Hundred Treasure Pavilion, took down a sandalwood box, only to see that this wooden box was tightly sealed with wax. There was a note attached to it, and only one thousand-year-old ginseng was written.
Lan Xiang took the ginseng and didn't dare to delay, and immediately went out of the warehouse, at this time Wu Zhong was still waiting at the door of the warehouse, and when he saw Lan Xiang coming out, he only glanced at the wooden box, and then did not make any move.
After that, the two of them locked their own cards, Lan Xiang handed over the pair of cards, and left the treasury and walked back to Qin Keqing's residence in Wuwei Hall.
When Lan Xiang returned to Qin Keqing's residence, Qin Keqing was asking about Jia Zhu's condition in Zhou Rui's family, and Zhou Rui's family knew that Jia Ke had already understood Jia Zhu's condition, so he didn't hide it too much, but now there are many people. just said to Qin Keqing, "Grandma doesn't know, our second master has injured his body by studying day and night for the sake of fame, and this time the imperial examination was carried out of the examination room again." The uncle invited the imperial doctor, saying that this time it was very dangerous, and the uncle remembered this ginseng to see if he could save the life of our second master. ”
As for what the imperial doctor said, even if there is ginseng, it can only be implicated for a year or two, and he didn't mention it.
Qin Keqing was also shocked when she heard Zhou Rui's words, she knew that Jia Zhu was not in good health when she married into the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, but she didn't expect it to be so bad, seeing that she would be worried about her life at any time.
After listening to this, Qin Keqing sighed and said: "I didn't expect that a smart person like the second master would have such a serious illness, it's really unblessed." After Qin Keqing finished speaking, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve, as if she was so sad.
In fact, after Qin Keqing married into Jiafu, she and Jia Zhu met a few times in total, what feelings are there, she did this just to show Zhou Rui's family, otherwise her second uncle would be dying, and she had no tears, and she would spread it out to make people listen to jokes.
Aunt Zhou listened to Zhou Rui's words, and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha on the side, she could be regarded as watching Jia Zhu grow up, knowing that this child was willing to work hard, and now that she was sick like this, she was also a little sad in her heart. Although when Jia Ke was young, Aunt Zhou never hated Jia Zhu, but now Jia Ke is a very popular minister, and she has thrown Jia Zhu out of 108,000 miles, and Aunt Zhou has almost forgotten those things when she was a child.
As they spoke, Lan Xiang came in from outside, holding a sandalwood box in her hand.
As soon as Lan Xiang came in, she hurriedly came to Qin Keqing's side and set the wooden box in front of Qin Keqing. Although Qin Keqing is the main mother of the family, no one in the family is seriously ill, and she doesn't know what the ginseng in the sandalwood box looks like, so she is also very curious about the ginseng in these wooden boxes. But this is not the time to explore.
Qin Keqing took the wooden box and carefully checked the wax seal on it, and saw that there was no damage.
Qin Keqing took the wooden box in his hand and stroked it carefully for a while, as if he cherished it, and after a while, he handed it to Zhou Rui's family, "This thing was in the house when I came, and I knew that it was a precious thing." So it has been kept in the innermost part of the warehouse, and the uncle also said that it will be used when I give birth. Since the second master is so anxious, take it. ”
When Qin Keqing said this, his mouth was full of regret, as if he valued this ginseng very much.
Zhou Rui's family took the sandalwood box and held it in his arms like a baby, just now he saw that Qin Keqing couldn't put down this ginseng, so he naturally knew that Qin Keqing didn't value this thing, and thought it was Jia Keqing's guarantee when he gave birth to him. This time, Jia Ke was able to pull out this ginseng in pain, and he didn't centrifuge them either, but still regarded it as a family.
Zhou Rui's family was holding ginseng, and when they saw that the matter had been done, and Jia Zhu was still waiting for help, he hurriedly saluted Qin Keqing and wanted to say goodbye and go back.
Qin Keqing knew that he was in a hurry and didn't hold back, but just told her to be careful on the road, to walk steadily, and not to let the ginseng shake too much, in case of breaking the whisker branches, it would also affect the curative effect.
After hearing this, Zhou Rui's family was full of promises, and then hurriedly bowed to Qin Keqing and said goodbye.
Qin Keqing saw that she was so anxious, and she understood that Jia Zhu's condition was probably a little worse than she knew, and now she was afraid that she was waiting for this ginseng to die.
Qin Keqing can't help but worry about Rongguo Mansion now, in Qin Keqing's opinion, only Jia Zhu can take the lead in Rongguo Mansion now, and the others are unbearable. As soon as Jia Zhu has something like this, I am afraid that there will be no successor on the side of Rongguo Mansion. In fact, pretending not to get fame, with his character, he can also make Rongguofu continue for a few more generations. If he is gone, how can that greedy and lustful Jia Baoyu who has no learning and no skills be able to support such a mansion.
And Aunt Zhou saw that Zhou Rui's family was gone, and said with some regret: "Such a good ginseng was actually given to them, let's cut it and keep half of it, and we can keep you safe when you give birth." ”
Qin Keqing knew that there were some things that couldn't be passed on, so he had to comfort Aunt Zhou and said: "This ginseng has been the best in our house for thousands of years, but it is worse than this ginseng, and there are still some in our house, and when I take it out when I give birth, it won't be too bad." And if this ginseng can save the second master's life, it can be regarded as the merit of our uncle. ”
Aunt Zhou knew that the ginseng had also been sent out, and there was no way for her to come back, so she could only accept Qin Keqing's words.
Not to mention that Qin Keqing sighed here, Aunt Zhou's pity, and Zhou Rui's family didn't stop holding the wooden box given by Qin Keqing for a moment, and still trotted all the way back to the courtyard where Jia Zhu lived.
As soon as Zhou Rui's family entered Jia Zhu's room, they handed over the wooden box to Jia Ke, and Jia Ke didn't look at the wooden box, and directly sent it to Mrs. Wang.
