Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 26

The 6 taels of silver bills ended up in Mrs. Wang's purse and became part of Jia Yuanchun's dowry.Now that Yuan Chun has been decided not to enter the palace, the marriage has to be considered after three years, but the dowry cannot be neglected.

In the past, no matter how determined Mrs. Wang was, she could not buy Yuan Chun a generous dowry, but now that she has the support of her son, it is no problem.Although not everything can be bought with money, at least money is the prerequisite for it.

After Li Wan knew what her mother-in-law and Mrs. Wang were doing, she couldn't help but admire her.This not only gained favor with Jia Shishi and Uncle Lin, but also earned a lot of money. I really hope that there will be more of this kind of thing!But this is not something her granddaughter-in-law can do, besides, she is not short of money at all now, and she doesn't need to learn.

Rongguo Mansion used a large boat to send the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony to Jiangnan. In addition to sending it to the Lin family in Yangzhou, there were also gifts to the Zhen family and Xue family in Jinling.Mrs. Wang gave Jia Shishi two bottles of healing medicine, she only sent one bottle to Jia Min, and the other bottle was dedicated to the eldest prince, Lord Loyalty.

The clan is also very concerned about this miraculous medicine.Only the one-year salary of the loyal prince is only 1 taels, not to mention the other titles are even lower.And the starting price of this potion is 3 taels of silver, even if the loyal prince can afford to buy it, he is unwilling to spend it on it.

It costs a lot of money to seize the heir. If you want to win over officials, how can you impress others without substantial benefits?In the past few years, the Zhen family has become more and more unscrupulous in making money in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to the money supply needed for their luxurious life, they also need to provide a large amount of money to Concubine Zhen and her three sons in the capital.

Being a prince's natal family is a completely different concept from being an emperor's natal family.Although in order to prevent foreign relatives from usurping power, the Daqing Dynasty usually adopted a suppressive approach to foreign relatives, but compared to having no high-ranking officials and rich salary in the court, the benefits that can be obtained in private are more.

It was Lai Da who was in charge of sending the gift to Jinling.On the Yangzhou side, it belongs to Zhou Rui's family.When the big ship docked at Zhenjiang, a small boat bound for Yangzhou came out.

Originally Jia Shishi wanted to send Lai everyone, but she happened to be pregnant and it was difficult for her to travel far, so in the end she had to let Zhou Rui's family take over.It was also this time that Mrs. Wang agreed with Jia Zhu to bring out two bottles of healing potions, otherwise no one from Jia Shi's faction would have sent Zhou Rui's family.

Jia Shi could see the gap between Madam Wang and Jia Min.Let's not talk about whether there is her handwriting in it, if her sons and daughters are united, her position as the old lord will not be stable.

However, although Jia Shishi does not want his children to be united, he hopes to see them live in harmony.Not to mention how good the relationship is, at least they can think of each other.Of course, this point is not aimed at Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.If these two sons are brothers and sisters, it will really be her end.

At the very least, Jia Shishi was very satisfied that the second room could send healing potions to Jia Min as a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival. The satisfactory result was that Zhou Rui's family received the gift-giving errand.

Fireworks go down in Yangzhou in March. Even though it is May, Yangzhou is still beautiful.

Zhou Rui's family stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the gardens one after another on the shore from a distance, not only lamenting the prosperity of Yangzhou in his heart.Although the prosperity of Yangzhou is not as high as that of the capital, and the scenery is not as dignified as the capital, but a delicate and compact route, but it is impossible to compare the two cities.

The boat docked at the pier, and the Lin family had already sent someone to wait at the pier.The group of people did not exchange many greetings, and unloaded the ship directly to the mansion of the magistrate in Yangzhou.

After Jia Min gave birth to her daughter in Huachao Festival, she became a confinement child and her body still hasn't recuperated well. Although she doesn't have to stay in bed all the time, she feels tired even taking care of the housework in the house. come out.Lin Ruhai and her are husband and wife with a deep affection, but she is not the only woman in Lin Ruhai's backyard.

If it weren't for those women, her body wouldn't suffer so much from giving birth to a daughter, and her daughter wouldn't have to drink medicine after birth.

It's just that Jia Min can only swallow these things, Lin Ruhai never pays attention to the backyard, even if she says it, he will just let her make the decision, maybe even make him distrust her.For so many years, Lin Ruhai has used many means in her backyard.

Jia Min is in this situation in Lin's family, so he attaches more importance to his natal family's Rongguo Mansion.When my sister was full moon, her natal family sent people, and this Dragon Boat Festival sent people again. She had to cheer up and get up from the bed because of the long face.Although after interviewing the mother-in-law from the capital, she found out that it was not Jia Shishi's Lai family but Zhou Rui's second sister-in-law's family, her happiness was only slightly discounted.

"Thank you, Mom, how is the house?" Jia Min casually glanced at the gift list, put it down, and asked Zhou Rui's family who was sitting on the small chair.

"Auntie is polite. It's a slave maid's honor to give a gift to my aunt, so there's no such thing as hard work." Zhou Rui's family was full of smiles. "Everything is fine in the house, the old lady is in good health, and so are the old man and the old man."

The hand holding the tea paused, and Jia Min continued to ask: "Where's Zhu'er? The person who came last time said that Zhu'er's illness has recovered, but she just needs to be raised. How is it now?"

"Uncle's illnesses are all cured." Speaking of Jia Zhu, the smile on Zhou Rui's family's face deepened, "Since Brother Lan's full moon, uncle will either go out to meet friends or study hard in the study to prepare for the spring in three years' time."

"Yeah." Jia Min nodded.She valued the most promising nephew in Rongguo Mansion very much.The natal family is gradually declining, and it is good for the Jia family and her aunt of the Jia family to have a descendant who can support them.

"How about Baoyu and the others?"

"Second Master Bao caught Rouge on the Zhou ceremony." Zhou Rui's family didn't feel ashamed of this at all, "Madam asked me to bring a message to my aunt, so that my aunt would not have to worry too much about Second Master Bao. There are three more The elder sister is also full moon, and she was also hugged to the old lady, just like the second master Bao and the second elder sister."

Jia Min understood the deep meaning in Zhou Rui's family's words, but why did the second sister-in-law tell her this?In the past, the housekeeper's sister-in-law was responsible for bringing gifts to the Rongguo Mansion, but they followed the old rules and never talked to her much.

"Among the gifts delivered this time, Uncle Youzhu specially prepared healing potions for my aunt." Zhou Rui's family didn't care about Jia Min's trance.The previous words were just passing the scene, and what I want to say now is the most important thing that Mrs. Wang has ordered several times.

"Therapeutic potion?" Jia Min turned his thoughts away from Mrs. Wang, frowned and repeated, "But the potion that can cure all kinds of diseases that has been very popular in the capital recently?"

"Exactly."

"Pearl has a heart." Jia Min picked up the gift list and looked through it carefully.The third gift list was from the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, and it contained some commonly used medicinal materials and unique products of the capital, and on the top was a bottle of the healing potion that Zhou Rui's family said.

"Uncle Zhu said that it is right to honor my aunt." Zhou Rui's family said in a neutral manner, which changed Jia Min's view of her.Usually, because the relationship with Mrs. Wang is not very good, she doesn't like the people around her.This brief encounter made Jia Min get to know Zhou Rui's family, but at the same time, he couldn't help but reflect in his heart whether he was too harsh on his second sister-in-law.

Jia Min didn't know that the change in Zhou Rui's family was not because of Mrs. Wang, but because of the contract with Ya'erlin.As Yarlin's contracted servant, she has the self-consciousness not to lose Yarlin's face.

Cha Mo would run into her occasionally when he returned home, if she didn't say anything, she would only think that Cha Mo was a son of some family, and would never think of him as a servant.Zhou Rui's family took this as their goal, and it's impossible to say that starting with her, their family will become completely different.

"Pearl is too self-effacing." Jia Min sighed.

She had also heard about this potion, but it was not from Jia Shishi, but from Mrs. Xunyan Yushi who came to visit.The current Xunyan Yushi just came from the capital to take office not long ago, and the first stop after taking office was to visit Lin Ruhai.

Because Mrs. Xunyan Yushi happened to be Jia Min's best friend when she was a girl, so she received her on the bed, and just heard about this heaven-defying medicine from her mouth.Afterwards, Jia Min also told Lin Ruhai. Although Lin Ruhai was dubious, he still sent the big housekeeper to the capital to buy it.

It's just that this potion is not only expensive, but there are also many people asking for it. The list of the potion shop has been queued for three years.Butler Lin tried his best to get a bottle but couldn't get a bottle. After seeing that the clan princes and others could only wait in the queue, he had to pay a deposit and obediently queue up.

Now that Jia Zhu can get such a bottle of medicine, Jia Min wants to know how much effort it took.She can't hypocritically say that she doesn't need this potion, both she and the eldest sister need this potion for treatment.I had to make some arrangements when returning the gift.

She accepted Jia Zhu's love.

"That pharmacy happens to be the shop of the uncle, so the uncle can talk to the shopkeeper." Zhou Rui's family explained softly.This deserves the credit, but if it is thought that the uncle can get the potion at any time, it will be bad.Although these medicines are actually made by the uncle, it doesn't take much time at all.

"Oh?" Jia Min was surprised, but she didn't know about it.After all, that shop is Mrs. Wang's dowry, she is a sister-in-law, how can she ask what is in her sister-in-law's dowry. "It's a coincidence."

"That's not true." Zhou Rui's family looked up slightly, allowing Jia Min to see the complacency in her eyes, "If it wasn't for that, no matter how connected the uncle is, he wouldn't be able to get the medicine. This is also the luck of my aunt, and others want to buy this medicine , also have to line up."

The two said a few more words, mostly from Zhou Rui's family, and Jia Min listened.It wasn't until they saw Jia Min's complexion was not very good that Zhou Rui's family resigned and left.

Lin Ruhai until today his wife's natal family sent someone, and he also came back early from the yamen.Although his wife's natal family has been declining, after all, in the capital, he can hear a lot of news that he can't hear here, which is very helpful for him to be an official.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Jia Min's room, he saw her carefully watching with a bottle of red things, and didn't notice his arrival at all.

"What are you looking at, madam?" The Lin family is a scholarly heirloom family, and they are all called Mrs. Mrs., not Mrs. Mrs. Wu Xun's family.

Lin Ruhai looked at the bottle in Jia Min's hand, and he couldn't help staring at the twinkling stars and the swirling red liquid.
