Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

Chapter 39 Mother and Daughter Arguing, Pretending to Sell Ginseng

"This is?" Meng Shi opened the cloth bag that Meng Yan handed over and couldn't help being surprised: "Where did you get this, little girl?"

"Mother, this is ginseng."

After much deliberation, Meng Yan finally decided to take out a 300-year-old ginseng tree in the space. As for the bank note he got from the prince or something, the money from the ginseng seller will not be changed.

"Mother, I dug this ginseng in the forest that day. It was because the ginseng I dug was too high that the kidnappers found me and took me away. But I kept hiding this ginseng on my body and they didn't find it."

Meng Shi took the ginseng and seemed to be sure whether it was true, Xiaobao also moved over curiously.

In any case, Mrs. Meng was born as an official lady and was once a concubine of the Lin family. Naturally, she is familiar with ginseng and has seen a lot of it. The difference lies in whether it is good or bad.As for Xiaobao, he was a scholar in his previous life. Although he had enough food and clothing, his aunt might not let him see some valuable things.In short, 300-year-old ginseng is a precious thing for both of them, especially this thing is hard to come by.

"Mother, I have checked the medical books at my teacher. This ginseng is 300-year-old ginseng. It can be sold for a lot of money. It should be enough for us to buy a house. Besides, we don't have to buy a good house. The most important thing is As long as it’s safe and convenient for Xiaobao to go to school, that’s fine.”

"It does sell for a lot of money."

Meng felt a little bit reluctant to touch the ginseng, the ginseng of hundreds of years is extremely rare, it is rare for ordinary people to see it in a lifetime, only those wealthy and powerful people can have it, but even if they have it, they are treasured and saved for life-saving.

If it wasn't for her lack of money now, she would not be willing to sell it, and keeping it might be useful in the future.Unfortunately, it can only be exchanged for money now.Meng Shi wrapped up the ginseng, and she was afraid that she would be reluctant to sell it if she watched it any longer.

"Let mother go here. In the afternoon, mother will go out to inquire about the medicine shop and sell it tomorrow."

"Mother, ask about the pharmacy and bring me and Xiaobao together, otherwise we won't worry about mother going out alone."

Meng Yan looked at Meng's face full of worry, and it was sad that her own mother was too good-looking.

It is very good that Mrs. Meng can be hired by Mrs. Lin as Lin Ruhai's concubine. It can be said that Mrs. Meng has completely inherited the beauty of Grandma Meng Yan, and Grandma Meng Yan's biological mother is the concubine of the Zhang family.The ancients paid attention to marrying wives, virtuous concubines and good looks, so women who can be regarded as concubines by men are all of good color.

Whether it is now or in ancient times, the powerful, rich and powerful people are so willful!After being rich, powerful and powerful, no matter how miserable or shabby he looks, the men who marry and take concubines must be beautiful and natural beauty. This is why the offspring of rich, powerful and powerful people are all handsome men and beautiful women It is because of the good-looking genes inherited from the woman.This point can be said to be vividly expressed in the royal family. No matter how unattractive the emperor is, all the concubines in the harem are one-of-a-kind beauties, and the princes and princesses born by beauties are naturally handsome and beautiful.

Meng Shi is only in her early twenties now, which is the best and most attractive age for a woman, and her leisurely life in the nunnery makes her temperament more demure and gentle, even wearing a simple sarong can't hide her beauty and temperament.How can such a Meng family and Meng Yan let her go out without worry.Although Yangzhou City is relatively stable, because there are many rich and powerful households in Yangzhou City

And there are even my iron dudes, if you are unlucky to meet these people, it will be bad.

"Why don't you worry, you just like to worry about things like a baby. These things should be done by mother, so you and Xiaobao can stay in the inn obediently."

In fact, she didn't know what to do.

"Really, mother, you'd better not go out, Xiaobao and I can go, if you are worried, we can hire the second brother to take us there."

"What are you talking about? How can you worry about this matter with your mother? How can your mother stay in the room and let you two children go. Besides, if you two children bring such valuable things It will hurt you if people know that you have evil intentions. Also, this city is not like outside the city. If you have never been to Yangzhou, you don’t know that the city is more dangerous than the outside of the city. There are many kidnappers in the city who abduct children. Go, there are not many children who are abducted by kidnappers every year. If you let the two of you go out, wouldn’t you tell the kidnappers to abduct you? It’s too dangerous, you two don’t think about it.”

Meng's thinking is different from Meng Yan's. Although Meng is raised in the inner house, the maidservants often tell her interesting stories about things outside. The kidnapping of a child is not a trivial matter, and it often becomes a major event when it breaks out; and In Meng's view, Meng Yan is still just a child, even if she is precocious, she cannot know too many things.

If it is said that Meng Yan in Yangzhou City is more familiar than the Meng family, but there are some things that Meng Yan is not as good as the Meng family who has 20 years of experience in the life of ancient people, at least because Meng Yan can only come out at night when she was A Piao, many things happened during the day She doesn't know.Moreover, Meng Yan has always looked at things from the perspective of an adult and often forgets that she is only a five-year-old child now, and she can't do many things she thinks at all.

Ms. Meng refused to let the two children go, and Ms. Meng also did not agree to Ms. Meng going alone.

"But mother, if you are so beautiful and go out alone, how good would it be if you are seen by such a lecherous person? It is not said in the scriptures that such rich dudes often rob beautiful women, mother, it is also dangerous for you to go out."

The mother and daughter talked about their differences but they were all reasonable, and finally froze there, Xiaobao didn't interrupt, as if he was thinking of other ways.

"Why don't mothers put on the veiled hat, so that others can't see clearly." When she was in the boudoir, she would always wear a veil when she went out, but most of the people who wore veils were girls who hadn't left the boudoir. She is already a woman, and it is better to wear a veil.

"Not good! It's said that wearing a veiled hat is to hide your face. Mother, if you wear a veiled hat, isn't that telling others that you don't want people to see your appearance? Those dudes are the most eccentric, the more you don't let them He just wants to look at him."

Meng Yan objected expressionlessly. If there is no absolute power and a strong backing, such deceitful actions as wearing a veil and a veil are useless.

"What a dude, how do you know these messy things, and you still keep talking about them, can a girl say these things?"

Earlier, Meng Shi hadn't paid much attention to Meng Yan's repeated mention of the playboy, Meng Shi, as soon as he heard it clearly, he immediately reprimanded Meng Yan with a sullen face.Although she was in the nunnery before, the Meng family has always taught and strictly demanded Meng Yan with the standards of a family lady, especially her words and deeds.

"Hehe, mother, we are discussing how to sell ginseng." Meng Yan changed the subject with a laugh, and poked Xiaobao beside her with her elbow to ask him to help.

"Mother, I thought of a way to change your appearance! Mother, please change your appearance to be more ordinary or ugly before going out. Xiaoya and I will go with you."

Xiaobao thought of the disguise mentioned in the martial arts scripts he had read in his previous life.Every man has a martial arts dream, hoping to be a chivalrous and free knight with high martial arts skills. Xiaobao has read many books like martial arts story books in his previous life.

Of course, Xiaobao also wanted to go out with Meng Shi to see this Yangzhou city. It was the first time he had come to Yangzhou city in two lifetimes, and he was very curious.

"This is a good idea, why didn't I think of it." Meng Yan patted her forehead annoyed.

"Yi Rong, your mother, how can I change my appearance? You two have read too many story books, and you haven't studied seriously." When Meng was in the boudoir, at most she had only read some books about talented men and beautiful women. In her opinion, it was a legendary thing.

"It's so easy, mother, just use a powder puff to thicken the rouge, apply thicker skin, paint black, hair white, and messy. In short, don't let people see your real appearance, mother. .”

This is how I understand Yi Rong Mengyan, and I don't know how to make up, whether it is in the previous life or in this life.In her previous life, she spent all her time studying, experimenting and reading novels to make up for sleep. Although she was not sloppy on weekdays, she was just tidy and never put on makeup by herself; If you want to do makeup at night, you don't have to steal it if you want, but in this life, she is only five years old and hasn't had the chance to learn it yet.Of course, I don't know if I have this convenient talent.

Of course, Meng Yan wasn't the only one who didn't know, Meng Shi and Xiaobao didn't know how to change their appearance either, and in the end, just as Xiaobao said, just make themselves ugly.

After some talk, the mother and child finally decided that the three of them would sell ginseng together.

Because of Meng Yan and Xiaobao's precocity, Meng shi unknowingly treated the two children as adults in a short period of time, instead of discussing everything with the two children as only children.

It took two days for the mother and son to inquire about all the pharmacies in Yangzhou, and finally chose Tong'an Tang, which had the largest and most reasonable reputation.There are more than one Tong'an Tang in Yangzhou City. It is said that it is a century-old shop. Someone in the main house once worked as an imperial physician in the palace, and its reputation is trustworthy.To ensure safety, Meng Yan went to check at night.

After choosing the pharmacy, Mrs. Meng put on ugly makeup and took Meng Yan and Xiaobao to Tong’an Tang. The three of Meng Yan happened to meet the young head of Tong’an Tang to check the accounts. They saw that ginseng was a rare 300-year-old ginseng. It was well preserved, and before Meng Yan asked for the price, the young master directly offered 1 taels of price.Although Meng Yan had inquired less than Meng Yan, but Meng Yan knew that their orphans and widowed mothers were weak, so they accepted it.

"Madam, if you can find good ginseng in the future, you must come to Tong'an Hall. I have already told the shopkeeper to give Madam a good price." Young Master Tang, the young head of Tong'an Hall, personally sent three mothers and sons of Meng Yan to the door.

Meng's exposed skin has been smeared and darkened, and the whole face is painted ugly. It is really not too eye-catching, and he is wearing a very ordinary sarong; and that Young Master Tang is dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes, and his temperament is as gentle as jade. The demeanor is elegant, and the whole person feels very kind and comfortable, especially when speaking to Meng Shi, his gentle tone and slow attitude give people an extremely sincere feeling; especially what he said is easy to be misunderstood.

This was the first time someone spoke to Meng Shi like this, especially the other party was a handsome young man, Meng Shi suddenly felt at a loss and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"Mother, Daddy is still waiting for us, let's go find Daddy." Meng Yan felt Meng Shi's embarrassment and pretended to be naive, and reminded Meng Yan that this Young Master Tang gave Meng Yan a difficult feeling, and Meng Yan was afraid that the delay would be long. There will be flaws.

"Well, let's go." Meng shi bowed to Tang Shaogong: "Goodbye, Mr. Tang."

After speaking, he took the child's hand and left in a panic. The young master Tang had a flash of light in his eyes when Meng shi saluted. He watched the three of Meng shi walk into the crowd and summoned his servants.

"Tang San, follow!"
