[Red Mansions] Dependents

The author has something to say: From the exam on the 28th to the [-]th, my tragedy! ! !

In addition to assisting Lin Ruhai, Jia Rong went to Yangzhou this time to explore the distribution of forces in the south of the Yangtze River. The situation between North Korea and China seems to be stable, but there are still factors of instability in the end. If there is any movement in the court, money and food are indispensable, and mastering Jiangnan is equivalent to owning military supplies.

Jia Rong wandered around the inns and restaurants in Yangzhou City every day. Although the brothel might be a good place to inquire about news, Jia Rong couldn't bear the cleanliness, so she felt at ease when she went there. If she could find out anything, she should send someone It’s good to go, you don’t have to go to battle yourself and you can complete the work, it’s the best of both worlds.

Arriving near a pharmacy, Jia Rong heard some noise, so Jia Rong stepped forward curiously to have a look.

"Doctor Liu, please save my mother. My father and you have been friends for many years. How can you see that you are dead now?" A girl in plain clothes begged with a worried face. The first reaction in my heart was "It looks quite iconic, but it's not as handsome as my Keqing."

The one called Dr. Liu, with a helpless look of 'it's not that I won't help', said, "Miss Yang, it's not that I don't want to miss my old love and refuse to help. I had a good friend with your father, and he committed a crime and died. Yes, I think you orphans and widows also saw your mother once, but I am running a medicine shop, not a charity hall. If you don’t have money, don’t get sick if you open the door to do business. If you get sick, you can only resign yourself to fate. Think about my family's livelihood."

"Doctor Liu, I know I'm embarrassing you, but my mother's illness can't wait, I will definitely pay you back this money in the future." The one called Miss Yang said.

"In the past two years since your family was defeated, you and your mother have had a hard time. When you have money, I have to wait until the year of the monkey. A few days ago, it wasn't that Auntie Hong from Yicuilou didn't look for you. If you agreed, You and your mother don’t have to worry about these things today.” Dr. Liu continued, in fact, everything is the same, it’s just that you don’t have money or something, just wait for this disease.

But Miss Yang gritted her teeth and said firmly: "No, no matter how poor I am, I can't go to that place." Seeing her like this, Jia Rong admired her.

"Why are you pretending to be noble when you're at this level, and you really think you're the daughter of Mrs. Yang, and you have the capital to pick and choose?" Dr. Liu sarcastically said.

But here the dispute was entangled, and the officials of the Lin family happened to find Jia Rong. When they saw Miss Yang, they were surprised and said, "Isn't this Miss Yang?"

"You know him?" Jia Rong asked.

"Uncle Rong, I shouldn't have told you about this, but it's better to tell you about the current situation." Lin Butler hesitated before saying: "When Second Master Qiang came to Yangzhou, he met Miss Yang, please. The master of the family came to propose marriage for him, but was rejected by Mrs. Yang. He said yes... said yes... the Jia family would not marry, and immediately arranged another marriage for Miss Yang, just to eliminate the relationship between the two. Thoughts. The second master Qiang got the news and left Yangzhou in disappointment, but the second master didn't know that the Yang family was framed by his colleagues and fell into ruin not long after he left. Mr. Yang also went, and Miss Yang's marriage was also cancelled. Our lord I also looked for their mother and daughter, but I couldn't find them, so I let go of this worry, and I didn't want to see them again today."

When Jia Rong heard about Jia Qiang, she was curious: "Why don't I know about this?"

"Second Lord won't let me tell you, because I'm afraid that the people in the mansion will be worried." Lin Butler said.

Jia Rong thought about it for a while and Jia Qiang did change a little after returning home from Yangzhou, and then started to play around. I am afraid that it is really related to this woman, so she can't just stand by and watch: "This girl's medical fee I'm out, the doctor will follow this girl to have a look." He said and took out a silver ingot from his pocket.

"That's all right, let's go." Doctor Liu hurriedly said to Miss Yang when he saw that he was rich.

But Miss Yang looked at Jia Rong without moving at all and asked, "Why help me?" She didn't believe in this kind of pie in the sky. In the past few years, there were not many heroes who saved the beauty, and they all had malicious intentions.

"How about just treating me as a good deed every day?" Jia Rong said.

Miss Yang looked at him defensively: "If I don't make it clear, I can't take the money."

Jia Rong laughed and said, "You can afford to spend here with me, I'm afraid your mother's illness won't last."

After hearing this, Ms. Yang hesitated. It is true that my mother's illness is more important now, and I...

Seeing her hesitation, Jia Rong didn't make fun of others, and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything malicious. If there is any purpose, I just want to ask you something."

Miss Yang didn't quite believe it, she gave Jia Rong a suspicious look, then compromised, and led the way for the doctor and Jia Rong.

It took nearly an hour to arrive at Ms. Yang's residence. In fact, it was a thatched cottage, dilapidated and in danger of collapsing in strong winds.

"Mom, how are you, mother?" Before entering the room, she heard more than coughing from the room, and Miss Yang hurried in and asked. "Mother is fine. My daughter has found a doctor. Your illness will definitely recover."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang said: "Mother is fine, where did you get the money to hire a doctor? If you spoil yourself, mother would rather die." It seems that Aunt Hong has asked Miss Yang to sell herself not once or twice. .

"Mother, mother, don't get excited, listen to my daughter, she didn't ruin herself, she was helped by someone." Miss Yang said immediately.

Mrs. Yang didn't quite believe it: "Good guy? I haven't seen one in the past few years. They were all out of your favor. Cough... I knew... I knew today. At the beginning... Cough... Mom You shouldn't object...that Jia Qiang, now you won't be troubled by your parents." Madam Yang began to cry as she spoke.

"Mother, don't talk about it, it's over, let the doctor show it to you now." Miss Yang said to Mrs. Yang, holding back her tears.

"No, you return the money, ahem..." Mrs. Yang still felt that Miss Yang must have exchanged the money for herself. Back then, she beat mandarin ducks, but now she can't allow her daughter to fall into prostitution.

Seeing that her mother couldn't explain clearly, Miss Yang thought of Jia Rong who was at the side, and cast a look of asking for help: "Master, please help me talk to my mother."

Jia Rong thought, help people to the end, not to mention that this woman seems to have something to do with Jia Qiang: "Mrs. Yang, don't worry, I don't want your daughter to pay the money. I don't want to hide it from Madam. Jia Qiang is my younger brother. I am Jia Rong. Just wanted to know something."

Now Mrs. Yang calmed down, and let the doctor take the pulse calmly, but the whole process, Miss Yang looked at Jia Rong in surprise, not knowing what she was thinking.

After reading the pulse and prescribing a prescription, Jia Rong went out with Dr. Liu and kept their mother and daughter inside.

"Mother, rest, my daughter will get you medicine." Miss Yang said with concern.

Mrs. Yang knew that she felt uncomfortable, and said, "Mother knows you are suffering. Wan'er, it's your parents who missed you."

"Mother, there's nothing wrong with it. It's only because I have no relationship with him." This Miss Yang, her boudoir name is Qingwan, which means Qingyang Wanxi.

Mrs. Yang said: "If it wasn't for your father and mother to marry you and drive him away, let him tell you...don't say this, don't say this." Seeing that Qingwan didn't want to, Mrs. Yang didn't mention it: " Now that his family members don't know what it means, he should start a family these years, if he still wants you, I'm afraid he can only be a small child, what do you plan?"

Qing Wan said: "Mother, I...don't know." If it was before, I would follow without hesitation, but now I have nothing and bear the reputation of the daughter of a criminal minister, how can I be worthy of it.

Mrs. Yang said: "Worrying about my mother's illness, I have become a big girl now, and it will be too late if I don't get married."

Without saying a word, Mrs. Yang let her go out without forcing her too much.

Jia Rong and Qing Wan were sitting opposite each other, and Jia Rong was waiting for Qing Wan to speak.

"Is he... okay?" Qing Wan was silent for a long time and spit out such a question that she had been concerned about for a long time.

"It's a good life." Jia Rong replied with great interest.

Qingwan was happy for Jia Qiang when she heard that Jia Qiang was doing well: "Then...does he get along well with his wife? He should have a child." Qing Wan said, she would not think that Jia Qiang hadn't married a wife and had children in the past few years since he left I have been waiting for myself, but I still look forward to something in my heart.

"My mother has urged me for several years, but his boy has been wandering around since he went back to Yangzhou. He only returns to the house once a year or so. Even if my mother wants to remind me, he will be ordered to serve in a foreign army. He is still a bachelor now." Jia Rong smiled and observed Qing Wan's expression, which can be described as changing rapidly, joy, distress, and sadness.

Jia Rong has some appreciation for Qing Wan: "Miss Yang, I will stay in Yangzhou for a while, and I have to talk to my mother about this matter. As for how to solve it, please wait. I will let people know later. Go find a small courtyard, there is no room for people to live here, not to mention your mother is still sick, you should also think about her, right?" Jia Rong saw that Qingwan was about to refuse, so she said the following words.

Jia Rong returned to Lin's house and told Lin Ruhai about the matter. After learning some of the reasons, she asked Lin Ruhai to help settle the Yang family's mother and daughter, and then went back to her room and quickly wrote a letter to inform Yaxin of the matter.

Half a month later, Yaxin received the letter and sighed secretly: "I thought the relationship between the two was shallow, but it seems that it is just a test arranged by the heavens."

Replied: "Wait patiently, Qiang'er has already gone, the outcome is up to them to decide, just take good care of them."

Jia Rong thought, based on Jia Qiang's personality, Yang Qingwan seemed to have settled down as a younger sibling, and her trip to Yangzhou was not in vain, as she had to watch a show in addition to her official duties.What made Jia Rong especially warm was that Yaxin believed in the best words: "Mother, Keqing and Wawa all miss you, take care of yourself and come back early."

When I went to see Yang Qingwan the next day, Jia Rong never mentioned Jia Qiang's coming, she only said that Ya Xin told her to take good care of their mother and daughter, and deliberately lied to her that Jia Qiang was still wandering outside and couldn't find anyone.
