Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants are still different. Shanxi merchants really dare to sacrifice their lives for money.

Can badge merchants...

Just looking at how they spend a lot of money in their daily lives, you can tell that they will not give up their lives for money.

Qi Taizhong looked at the three old people who were kneeling on the ground begging for advice, and sighed helplessly: "I will come back after all the money is gone. As long as people are here, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn money? When you have to make a decision, let's make a decision. My old face, It won't last long. If the soldiers really surrounded the three of you, then they will take whatever they want. At this time, are you still confused?!"

After hearing the words, the Patriarchs of the Shen family, Zhou family and Wu family all lowered their heads and sighed in frustration.

Even the Qi family has this attitude, then they really have no way to turn around.

However, as long as people don't die, they will take revenge sooner or later! !

……

Yanyuan yamen.

After coming out of Zhonglin Hall, Jia Qiang went to the guest courtyard again.

Although Xue Ming is a character he doesn't know well, a character who has never even had a name in the Red Mansion, but in the final analysis, he is Xue Pan's second uncle and one of the owners of Fengzihao.

His life and death still needs to be taken care of.

But this time, it seemed that Xue Ming's situation was a bit bad, and the imperial physician hadn't left yet.

When Jia Qiang came in, Xue Pan and Xue Biao were wiping their tears...

Seeing it, Jia Qiang frowned slightly, and asked, "Is Second Master Xue all right?"

Xue Pan wiped away his tears, shook his head and said bitterly: "The imperial doctor said, it's all because of that bastard from Mei's family who came to make a fuss, and the second uncle was furious, which made his condition worse. Now he is still using needles, I'm afraid..."

Jia Qiang felt a little troublesome, at this moment, Imperial Physician Wang pulled out the silver needle in his hand, got up and walked over.

Xue Pan and Xue Biao anxiously asked: "Prince doctor, how is my second uncle (father)?"

Imperial Physician Wang shook his head and said, "The condition is really dangerous, I'm sorry I can't do anything, unless..."

Xue Pan and Xue Biao, whose hearts were already cold, hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

However, Imperial Physician Wang looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Unless Second Master Qiang can bring back some precious medicine from Tianning Temple, the ten-year-old medicine from Tianning Temple is really effective in treating high fever pneumonitis. If there is this medicine, Maybe [-]% sure."

When Xue Biao heard this, he knelt down in front of Jia Qiang, kowtowed and begged again and again.

Xue Pan also grabbed his head and looked at Jia Qiang, saying, "How about I give you a few too?"

Jia Qiang shook her head slightly, and said, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. However, there are not many precious medicines in Tianning Temple... Forget it, I'll ask someone to get some."

Doctor Wang said again: "Second Master Xue is already very ill. Even if he can save his life, he will be weak all over his body and cannot move easily. Otherwise, he will have difficulty breathing, and even his life will be affected."

In Jia Qiang's view, what Xue Ming got should be a small pneumonia.

However, in the era without antibiotics, the disease continued to deteriorate until it became irreversible.

After he went out and ordered people to fetch the medicine, he asked Xue Biao, "If there is anything I need to do, just ask. You and I have known each other since our ancestors, and we have been friends for many generations, so there is no need to talk outside."

Xue Biao and Xue Pan are two completely different personalities. Although they are one year younger than Xue Pan, they are much more stable, and they bowed deeply to the end, thanking them endlessly. In the end, they were a little confused: "Second Lord Qiang, but the other one is nothing more than that." , it’s just that it’s really inconvenient for my father to travel, so I’m afraid we’ll have to delay here for a while.”

In fact, Xue Biao is still a little ashamed. The Xue family also has a mansion in Yangzhou Mansion, but once Xue Ming moves out of the Yanyuan Yamen, it is almost impossible for Xue Ming to enjoy the medical treatment of the imperial physician.

Coupled with the turmoil outside, he still felt that it would be more conducive for his father to recover from his illness if he had the audacity to live in the Yamen of Yanyuan.

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. They are relatives, and my aunt is not a stingy person."

Xue Pan on the side suddenly reminded: "Brother Tiao, if the precious medicine of Laoshizi is useful for a while, don't forget to send someone to inform the family. Also, ask aunt to send some more New Year's gifts. The Lin family, Brother Qiang's, the imperial physician Yes, I...Of course I don't care, my family. But other people should not be stingy."

Xue Biao naturally responded repeatedly, surprised in his heart, this cousin really changed his temper.

Half an hour later, Tie Tou hurried back with a small urn of precious medicine. After the imperial physician made Xue Ming take it with a secret method, another hour later, the high fever on Xue Ming finally subsided and he woke up...

"Thank you... Thank you Second Master Qiang..."

The redness on Xue Ming's face dissipated and turned pale. After knowing the cause and effect of being saved, he wanted to struggle to get up and thank him.

After Jia Qiang persuaded her to rest in peace and recuperate, she said goodbye and left.

For Xue Ming, he had some idea in his mind.

The ancients said: You can watch people when you are facing wealth, you can watch people when you are in trouble, you can watch people when you are neglected, and you can watch people when you are drunk.

This is called the Four Views.

Jia Qiang had previously learned that after the death of his brother Xue Li, Xue Ming did not take the opportunity to bully Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, and Baochai, the three orphans and widows, but instead helped them wholeheartedly. This alone shows that his character is not bad.

Looking at his son now, he is calm and not frivolous, and his family education is not bad.

Then watch his reaction between life and death...

It doesn't matter whether you can be high or low, at least you are not a treacherous person.

Even if the root cause of the disease can't be cured, it will be quite helpful for Jia Qiang if such an experienced businessman sits on Jufeng Island.

But he is not in a hurry, he has to think carefully, and he must leave enough backup.

After all, how can such an important stronghold be entrusted to others so easily...

……

Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion.

The Dahua Hall on the west side of Rongqing Hall.

Jia Mu sat on a soft couch on a high platform. Although it was freezing outside, the big flower hall was warm like spring because of the burning earth dragon, and the flowers were blooming.

Jia Mu's mood was as happy as the flowers blooming in the hall.

Holding two letters in her hand, she smiled to Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang who were sitting on the chair next to her, "God, I'm sorry, Yu'er's father has been saved! It's really the blessing of the Buddha!"

The Feng girl who was standing by the side laughed loudly: "If you want me to say, I can't thank the Buddha alone. If the ancestors hadn't sent Brother Qiang and Lian'er to send Sister Lin back to Yangzhou together, how would my uncle know about the monk Xiyangfan?" There is a precious medicine in your hand? It can be seen that Uncle Lin was saved because the ancestors divided your old man's blessings into a boat and saved Uncle Lin. Next time Uncle Lin comes to Beijing, he must let you He is so grateful to the old ancestor! Otherwise, I would not obey!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone naturally laughed and cheered.

Jia's mother was also very happy. She saw Xifeng wearing a golden phoenix titled pearl string on her head, wearing a red cold smoke butterfly wearing a flower brocade dress, a carmine red silk embroidered begonia cotton skirt, and a pair of red embroidered magnolia flowers on her feet. The embroidered shoes are gorgeous and radiant, coupled with such a sharp temperament and a talking mouth, the more I like her, but she deliberately teased her: "You don't coax me here, and be careful Lian'er is in Yangzhou. I was dazzled by shopping, and I won’t come back.”

Everyone laughed and made fun of Sister Feng one after another.

Sister Feng's complexion remained unchanged, and she laughed loudly: "Let him go, I'll just take care of my good old ancestor at home, and I can't live without him? I'm afraid Uncle Lin, who was born in Tanhualang, can't get used to his kind of behavior the most." , let’s teach him a good lesson, so that he knows how to write the word “mighty!”

Mother Jia laughed again when she heard the words, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
