Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 224 Drug Market
Jia Min was surprised: "How does the master know?"

Lin Ruhai sighed and said: "You specially asked Meng Tian to serve in my study, and you also asked her to wear a purple tang-colored shirt and a magnolia pendant, all of which I like. If you are so deliberate, could it be that I am blind? Besides, you only I know that I like that kind of color and that kind of accessories, but I don’t know that I like the way you wear it, Mengtian’s complexion is not as good as yours, and she acts like a fool all day long, which makes me laugh for a while.”

Jia Min only felt sweet in her heart, and even her face turned red, and she lightly hit Lin Ruhai on the chest: "Since the master saw it, why didn't he say it until now? I thought...it was really a waste of time."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "How come I don't know that people in the royal circle in Beijing are saying that you are jealous, you are my wife, how can I want others to say that you are not good at all? It's just that those concubines in the past are you? You know, I'm really afraid of making the house restless all day long."

Jia Min nodded again and again: "Yes, I know. But Mengtian has been with me for these years. I know her temperament best. She is a quiet and worry-free person. But she is always by my side when I take care of government affairs. I think Carrying her up as an aunt, first to serve the master, and second, to take care of the affairs of the mansion, I should have more time to rest and recuperate, right?"

Lin Ruhai said: "She belongs to you, so it is naturally possible to manage government affairs. From what you said just now, could it be that someone else wants to stuff me with a woman?"

Jia Min nodded: "Yes. But all of them are from Wu Xun's family. I thought the master would not like it, so I refuted it without any hope. This is also the key to my reputation of being jealous... "

Lin Ruhai frowned and thought for a while: "Speaking of which, living in the capital city is no different than Yangzhou. There are officials everywhere in the capital city, and every household is intertwined with power. Power is tied to power. There are relatives among relatives. If I always want to be alone It's not that easy either..."

"That's why, my lord. Don't let it go, and you will be disturbed by it. While there are not too many officials who are giving you women, you can simply marry a few concubines and come back. This way the initiative is in our hands. Women still have to be picky about their character, if they are still women who are forced to accept gifts from others like they were in Yangzhou, then those concubines sent by the master in Yangzhou will be considered a waste of time, right?"

Lin Ruhai said: "That's true. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, but... well, I'll just listen to you. This time, no matter what the family and power behind it are, if you want to enter the door of my Lin family, you must taste it." It’s good to have a good sex, no matter who gave the daughter who came from the dirty place, you can’t take it.”

This is talking about the brothel geisha and a few dancers who were given away by others when they were in Yangzhou in the past. At most, these people made the most trouble.

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Two, at most I will marry two more, and the candidates must be selected. After that, no matter who they are, I don't want them. There is one more thing, if If Mengtian is to be in charge of government affairs, I'm afraid her aunt's status won't be able to hold her back?"

Concubine is also divided into ranks, from top to bottom are good concubines, aunts and Tongfang.Meng Tian's parents are just ordinary farmers, and asking her to be an aunt is to flatter her, but to assist in government affairs, no matter what, she needs to be a good concubine to manage.

And listening to Lin Ruhai's tone, it can be seen that the two candidates who entered the door later had already made plans in his mind, and he was afraid that there must be someone with a higher family background who could be a good concubine.When the time comes, let Meng Tian, ​​the aunt, be in charge of the good concubine, which means that there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority.

But Jia Min was not nervous at all, instead she smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? Although Mengtian's family background is not good, she has an elder brother who was admitted to be a scholar. When her elder brother passed the exam, the master gave him a silver tael. Could it be that the master forget?"

Brother Xiucai?Uh... It seems that there is such a thing. Although I have never heard of Mengtian's brother's success in the examination since then, but the fame of a scholar makes Mengtian a good concubine. up.

The husband and wife made an agreement over two nights, and the next morning, they opened Meng Tian's face and entered the Lin family's family tree. From Jia Min's personal maid, she suddenly became a good concubine with her own courtyard and a maid, six or two a month. In Yinzi's monthly case, Jia Min was accompanied by four girls and four women, and Jia Min also rewarded a lot of clothing and jewelry, and even got the right to assist in government affairs.That night, Lin Ruhai slept in Mengtian's yard, and it is said that he also drank Hequn wine.Meng Tian, ​​a good concubine, really has a lot of face in her face.

Let's put aside the matter of the Lin family for the time being, and just talk about Xue Hong's adventure.

That day, Xue Hong was looking for a suitable shop on the street and planned to open a bookstore, but he saw a worker in a drug store not far away collecting dried medicine. While drying the medicine, Xue Hong muttered: "Hey... If things go on like this, our pharmacy may have to lay off workers again. The last two jobs that came in half a year later than me were laid off. Doesn’t it have to be my turn to be laid off again? The medicine sold by Miss Ye can be delivered The disease is cured, but the medicines prescribed by the doctors here cost less than others, and they are slow to get better. People come to you to buy medicines because they have water in their heads? What's the use of knowing layoffs? Why don't you prescribe more books? Medical books, develop a little more good medicine and compete with others in a legitimate way? Chengri only knows how to fight or scold at work, and lay off employees if one is not pleasing to the eye. Master, I can't learn anything now, and I have to dry these moldy medicines here every day! My life, why am I so unlucky..."

The little fellow muttered and collected the dried medicine and sent it back to the house. Xue Hong touched the tip of his nose at the door, feeling a little embarrassed.Compared with the pills made by ordinary doctors, the elixir produced by him using the space is obviously invincible.In order not to crowd out the business of the same industry, Xue Hong has tried to set the price of finished medicine as high as possible, so that the cheap medicines sold by other pharmacies will not be unsalable. Why is it still affecting the business of other pharmacies?

Xue Hong's idea at the time was indeed very good. He sold the medicine of space because he would get the corresponding space merit value after people took the medicine produced by space and cured their diseases. stall.

But what Xue Hong didn't know was that even if he raised the price, it was useless.Because anyone who can afford to see a doctor will not care about those three melons and two dates. The price of ordinary pharmacies is much cheaper than that of Xue Hong's pharmacy, but people who look down on doctors still can't afford it, so it appears such a situation.
