[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

In Mrs. Xing's room, Mrs. Xing was holding a bowl of tea and counting Luo Chun who was sitting opposite her: "Si girl's father celebrated his birthday, and Zhen'er engraved [-] copies of the "Yin Zhiwen" he had previously annotated. This is a good thing to accumulate merit. The old lady joined in the fun, in order to accumulate blessings and longevity for herself, so she printed [-] copies of "Gaoyu Guanshiyin" and distributed them. In order to please her, your second aunt said that you These juniors copy the "Heart Sutra" to prove their merits. It's just a formality. I didn't see that even the old lady's most valued Baoyu and Lin girl just copied a few copies to deal with it. You take it seriously and feel bored. I have been copying all day in the room, and my eyes are blurry due to exhaustion, and I haven’t seen the old lady say a good word about you. What a fool, it’s not like you don’t know who the old lady is..."

Facing Mrs. Xing's accusation, Luochun did not refute, and enjoyed Mrs. Xing's other kind of concern with a smile on her face. Suddenly, she heard the curtain outside and the sound of footsteps.Not seeing the report from the little girl outside, no one but Jia She was able to break into Mrs. Xing's room like no one else, so Luo Chun hurriedly gave Mrs. Xing a wink, signaling her to stop talking.Although Jia Amnesty also has opinions on Jia's mother in his heart, it doesn't mean that he is willing to listen to Mrs. Xing gossip about her behind her back.

Mrs. Xing also heard the footsteps, guessed who was coming like Luo Chun, and hurriedly ordered Jinping to lift the curtain in the room, and Jia She's figure was revealed.As soon as Jia She entered the room, he glanced at Luo Chun, who was presenting to him, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Xing: "Didn't I ask you to put away the old ginseng I brought back a few days ago? Where is it? Find it quickly and send someone to the East Mansion to send it over."

"Since the master gave it to me, I haven't touched it. I have put it in the cabinet properly. I'm afraid it's still in the cabinet now. It's just sending some ginseng to Dongfu for no reason? A few days ago, my daughter-in-law and I Sitting together and talking, because of the ginseng used in dispensing medicine, Zhen’s daughter-in-law sent a lot of it, I think there is no shortage of this in Dongfu, do you still need to find us to send it over?” Mrs. Xing asked a little puzzled.

Hearing this, Jia She stomped his feet, let out a hi, and sighed: "This is what you often call 'the oil seller combs her hair with water'. When you don't need it, you have it. When you need it, you can't find it anymore." He saw Things were settled, and the anxious look between the brows gradually subsided, and then he explained to Mrs. Xing leisurely: "Brother Zhen from Dongfu just sent someone to say that Rong'er's daughter-in-law is very ill. Finally, Feng Ziying recommended a good doctor, prescribed medicine, and it tasted somewhat effective, but the medicine needed ginseng. But I couldn't find any good ones in the mansion, so I had to send people out to buy them. It’s just that the purchase is also useless. The good ginseng bought back at a high price is actually useless. Sending someone to buy it is very time-consuming, and what to do if you can’t buy a good one, so Zhen Brother found me here. I thought, this is a life-saving thing, as the saying goes, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda', and we don't lack these things in our house, so I thought to hurry up Send someone to deliver it to them, and save them from sending people to search around the market and getting angry."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly told Jinping: "Since this is the case, I remember that there are still a few finger-thick ginseng in the warehouse. You, Jinping, took the little girl to look for it. You found it together with the ones in the cabinet. Send it to Dongfu. By the way, give my regards to Rong’s daughter-in-law, so that she can take care of her with peace of mind. People like us are not people who can’t afford ginseng. Getting better is better than anything else. I know that she and Lian's daughter-in-law are better, so I asked Lian's daughter-in-law to go and see her, and the ladies talked and laughed, and felt more at ease, and the illness recovered faster."

Jinping agreed, and led the girls out.Jia She frowned and said: "Nowadays, these profiteers are really disgusting, and the ginseng they sell is not good. Even if there is a whole branch, they will cut it into two or three sections, inlay it with reed beard branches, and mix it well for sale. They don’t think about the use of this kind of ginseng when they buy it back. If it delays the disease or dies, what should they do? These people’s hearts are too dark, why the government doesn’t care? "

Mrs. Xing sneered and said, "Hey, when did our Elder Master become so merciful and have the heart of a bodhisattva?" Faced with Mrs. Xing's ridicule, Jia Amnesty remained silent with a sullen face. Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "It's just Those who buy it are just words to shirk their responsibilities. Do you really take things like this outside? Besides, you don’t dare to fool our house. There are people who are familiar with the industry to deal with, and what they bring out are genuine goods at a fair price. Master, don’t overturn the whole boat with one pole, who knows where Zhener’s shopping ran to get the ghost thing to coax money. , that’s something wrong with Zhen’er’s envoy, and it has nothing to do with her participation. You can just talk about it in our room, but if you go out, it’s a joke!” Of course, it’s not that he didn’t dare to be like Jia She did what she said, but if she dared to do that, there must be support behind her. Naturally, Mrs. Xing would not explain it to Jia She.

Jia Amnesty blushed at Mrs. Xing's words. After a while, he forced himself to say: "What joke? Master, I don't laugh at others. They have already burned incense. Who dares to laugh at me! These things are originally up to you women. To manage, I am a big man, of course it is impossible to get involved, so what if I don’t know if I make a mistake? I’m too lazy to learn from you, so I’ll go to the front.”

Seeing that Jia She went away from embarrassment, Mrs. Xing sneered at the back of Jia She who left, and spat: "I don't have any skills, I just have a duck mouth!" Turning to meet Shang Luochun's gaze, Mrs. Xing Only then did she remember that there was still Luochun in the house, she didn't expect Luochun to see this scene, she felt a little embarrassed, sighed and changed the subject and said: "I don't know if sending this ginseng to Rong's daughter-in-law's illness Okay? To say that Rong’s daughter-in-law’s illness is really strange, I heard from Zhen’s daughter-in-law that it was originally a minor illness, but I didn’t know how to deal with it, but it turned into a major symptom. Because of her illness, the doctors in the mansion are like a revolving lantern In the same way, the two mansions are full of troubles, such a big fanfare, such a small person, but one illness is not afraid of ruining one's life."

Luo Chun didn't know what to say about Qin Keqing's illness. She didn't understand medical theory, so she couldn't judge the danger of Qin Keqing's illness, and she was more inclined to think that Qin Keqing's illness was a heart disease.Heart disease still needs heart medicine, but Qin Keqing's heart disease needs heart medicine, which is difficult to find even in modern times. After all, this involves social and ethical issues, and it is a matter of morality.Luo Chun didn't answer Mrs. Xing's words, but instead said: "Mother, all the ginseng from our side has been sent to the mansion over there, what should I do if I want to make medicine later? There is no ginseng in the public account."

"Even if there are, it's not our mother's turn." Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about. As long as you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to buy things. There are many medicine shops in the capital, and there are a few of them. For a well-known and time-honored brand, just send people to the door and ask them to deliver the things, and the money will be taken from my account." Now Mrs. Xing is also considered "rich and powerful", and she is not stingy about this life-saving medicinal material.

Mrs. Xing kept her word, and sure enough, after a while, the stewards of some time-honored pharmacies in Beijing came to her door one after another.Madam Xing also bought a lot of other precious medicinal materials besides ginseng, and Luochun, as a helper, not only participated in it, but also mixed a lot of "private goods" into the medicinal materials Madam Xing bought, so that Madam Xing When I checked, I exclaimed that the medicinal materials bought this time were worth the money. I thought it would cost a lot, but after calculating what I bought, it turned out to be very cheap.

After Luochun and Mrs. Xing finished counting the warehouse, they stored all kinds of medicinal materials in the warehouse properly, and when they returned to the house, they were drinking tea and eating snacks, Jinping reported: "The old lady is here on the back porch, can you see that the lady is gone? "

Mrs. Xing was holding a piece of red bean mochi in her hand. After hearing Jinping's reply, she was not surprised. She glanced at her and asked puzzledly: "Old lady? Which old lady? There are so many relatives in the hallway that I can't remember." Whose family is it?" Although Madam Xing's status in Jia's mansion does not match her name as the eldest wife of Jia's mansion, Madam Xing doesn't think anyone else can be called an old lady in front of her except Jia's mother.Not only Mrs. Xing was like this, but Luo Chun was also full of question marks.

Jinping was amused by Mrs. Xing's words, she hurriedly held back her laughter and said in a low voice: "I can't blame my wife for not remembering, I'm afraid it belongs to the old man's family in the school. The old man in the school is the most senior and tall, and there are not many people in the family." Move around." Jia Dairu's wife?Before Mrs. Xing could remember who it was, Luochun had already realized it, and hurriedly told Mrs. Xing in a low voice. "Oh, so it's her!" Madam Xing suddenly realized, she frowned and asked, "I don't have any contact with their family in normal times, why is she here now?"

Jinping shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but I see that the old lady's face is scorched, and I think she has something to ask her." Mrs. Xing snorted softly and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know what I am. It turned out to be Guanshiyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering and saves all living beings. Forget it, you bring people in."

But after a while, the maids helped an old woman into the house, only to see that the old woman was wearing a dark green satin dress. The folds of the hair, with an old smell, seem to have been pressed at the bottom of the box for a long time. The gray hair is neatly combed into a bun, and a few gold and silver hairpins are inserted, but the style is old, the color is dull, the face is thin, and the eyebrows are thin. There are a few shallow traces, although they try their best to dress up glamorously, they can still be seen at a glance that the old woman's life is difficult and not going well.

Mrs. Xing took Luo Chun up and went forward, helped the old lady to sit down, held a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Old lady, please be safe, I didn't call you far away, I'm not polite, please forgive me. "

Jia Dairu's wife would ask for others, so how could she care about these things, not to mention Madam Xing being polite to her, even if she was not polite, she would not care about it for the sake of her only grandson's life.
