[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn
Chapter 8
Lin Jifeng is fairly wealthy, but his foundation is in Yunnan, where the capital is prosperous and various merchants are connected to the government. The roots are intricate and undercurrents surge.If Lin Jifeng wants to gain a foothold here as soon as possible, he must find an ally.
Although the Qin family is not as wealthy as the Xue family, it is rare to keep a low profile and not cause trouble.The head of the family, Qin Ye, is over seventy years old. He used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and now he has recovered from illness and returned home.Qin Ye had a son, Qin Zhong, and adopted his distant niece, Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing was about the same age as Lin Jifeng, and Qin Zhong was about the same age as Daiyu.
As Lin Jifeng's chief shopkeeper, Lao Luo can't say anything about the choice of the Qin family as a partner... But no matter how he thinks about it, he feels something is wrong.
In the Lin family's pharmacy, Lin Jifeng was preparing a gift for the Qin family, while Lao Luo was slapping hands, thinking about it, but he still dared to approach Lin Jifeng and poked him: "Boss, you really want to talk to the Qin family... ...Do you really want to see that eldest girl from the Qin family?"
I can't blame Lao Luo for being quite critical, everything about the Qin family is good, there is only one thing that is inexplicable - the head of the Qin family is not Qin Ye, nor Qin Zhong, but Qin Ye's niece, Miss Qin Keqing!
Qin Ye's official position is not worth a bit of money, and the family business has been passed down to this generation. Apart from having a tile to cover his head and barely guaranteeing three meals, there is not a few taels of silver left.But a few years ago, his niece Qin Keqing came to Beijing and brought a wealth of furniture. Within two or three years, the Qin family has turned around in this capital city where dragons and tigers are hidden, gathered a lot of small businesses, and then focused on the trading of medicinal materials—now , has obtained the comprador rights of the imperial medicine!
While everyone was admiring, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts that no matter how powerful Qin Keqing was, she was still a woman—a woman who could get so much money and conquer so many big men in a short period of time... Don't be a fairy reincarnated, right?
There is never a shortage of gossip in the capital, and a few famous gossip women don't know what they are thinking, trying to find out about Miss Qin's right and wrong - Miss Qin is really not easy to bully, she chose a good day, He invited well-known doctors and pharmacists from all over the country, called all his shopkeepers, and held a medicine fighting meeting in the busiest market, and he personally presided over it in public.
At the meeting, Miss Qin was gentle, generous, and orderly in front of drug dealers and doctors from all over the country. No matter how close she was, she served a bowl of water very flatly, and her words were gentle but sharp. At the end of the day, there was no one in the meeting who did not admire her. of.But her appearance—that figure is undeniable, it is romantic and enchanting yet dignified; but Miss Qin's face, which was supposed to be a stunning beauty, was distorted from the right forehead to the back of the right ear. A long and ferocious scar abruptly destroyed the gentle and charming beauty, it was as terrifying as Shura.
A woman, a powerful woman, a powerful woman with a scar on her face... No matter what Lao Luo thought, there was something wrong with her, but Lin Jifeng shrugged indifferently, raised her beautiful eyes, and looked at her big face meaningfully. The shopkeeper: "The gossip about Miss Qin - I don't care what others say, but our people must not talk nonsense."
"Ah...ah? Yes, yes..." Lao Luo was stunned for a long time before he quickly lowered his head, but was startled by the things in Lin Jifeng's hand again, "Master, do you want to take these?"
"That's right." Lin Jifeng smiled cheerfully, carefully put away the last herb, finally closed the big delicate basswood box, patted it, and said to himself, "I hope these... can catch her eyes ?”
Lao Luo didn't know what to do when he was on the sidelines—My boss, what you are going to give away is all your treasures for so many years... You are still worried that others will look down on you, not to mention whether you need to praise others like this, and bury yourself like this tall?
Lin Jifeng and Qin Keqing made an appointment to meet in the medicine shop of Qin's family, and the time was set at [-] o'clock in the morning.
At two o'clock in the morning, Lin Jifeng waited quietly, Qin Keqing came slowly from the back hall, walking slowly - Lin Jifeng squinted his eyes and saw: a new pink three-layer gauze skirt, covered with a translucent jade The fringed long gown with white water sleeves, and the seven-petal camellia decorated with small pearls on the chest, looks noble and elegant. To protect against the autumn cold, she also wore a snow-white rabbit fur shawl, which is small and plush, and looks quite cute .
Lin Jifeng admired in his heart: It really is enchanting, graceful, calm, graceful and generous... So many things over the years have precipitated her former vivacity, but it has added a touch of mature charm to her.
Lin Jifeng has been wandering around in the flowers all year round and is used to wandering around, so it is difficult to restrain himself for a while, "commenting" Qin Keqing's eyes are not restrained to a bit presumptuous.Qin Keqing felt a little awkward with his straightforward "appreciation" gaze, and raised a trace of precaution in his heart: when a normal man sees her, he will be frightened, disgusted, vigilant, and put on a show; A man with a smile in his eyes that doesn't seem to be pretending, the corners of his mouth slightly raised with frivolity, and an overly handsome face with evil and danger.
There was an old Luo beside Lin Jifeng, and Qin Keqing also brought an old servant named Qin Mao, who came to Beijing with Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing moved away a few steps, passed Qin Mao and walked towards Lin Jifeng without any trace, smiled sweetly, and quietly resolved the embarrassing atmosphere: "Mr. Lin looks at me like this—but do you think the scar on my face is too scary?"
Lin Jifeng was stunned for a moment, saw the amused look in Qin Keqing's eyes, and quickly shook his head: "Absolutely not - I just feel that the flaws are not concealed. Besides, I seem to have seen Miss Qin somewhere."
This time, it was Qin Keqing who was stunned—"Where did I see that?"—how could such a rotten phrase be used on her in the original dialogue?And, has she seen this man?Such a dazzling appearance... Could it be forgotten?
Lin Jifeng saw the doubts in her eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he was a little rejoiced: in the end, he still didn't recognize her.
"Sorry, I was rude," Lin Jifeng turned his body halfway, let out the big red brocade box he had prepared sideways, and smiled, "Miss Qin is here in person, I am very honored. There is no need to say more, the Qin family is too old The hospital's home for supplying medicines, Miss Qin is specialized in this field, and I am ashamed to say that the frontier of Yunnan is dangerous, poisonous, and hard to grow, but it is a wonderful land for the growth of elixir. I dare not say anything else , but no one can produce more and more medicinal materials than mine in the southwest border."
Qin Keqing motioned for Qin Mao to take the brocade box, opened it, and frowned beautifully - the things inside were not cheap, but too expensive.
The nine immortal herbs of Chinese medicine, as long as they are born in the southwest, are all placed in them. The medicinal fragrance is clear and soul-stirring.Especially the joint-growing Dendrobium orchid, half a foot long and half an inch thick, with thick leaves, can be called a peerless treasure.
Qin Keqing looked at the precious medicinal herbs, stroking each one with her slender fingers wearing special thin velvet gloves, but she was a little absent-minded: the southwestern border, Yunnan... Is he implying something?The Lin family was indeed relegated to Yunnan back then, but he really didn't have the slightest impression of the person in front of him.
Half a moment later, Qin Keqing finally gave up the useless memory, raised his hand to close the lid, and smiled: "These medicinal materials are indeed precious and rare, Mr. Lin is not easy."
Lin Jifeng quickly told the truth for her: "Yes, these are fatal medicines." Especially Dendrobium orchids, which grow on the cliffs of the cliffs, are still in the dark. The rope, led by someone, is slowly lowered into the narrow mountain crevice, climbing the rough and fragile stone wall, jumping and moving carefully until the little herb is picked.
Under the fairy grass Dendrobium orchid is usually a deep abyss. If the herbalist is not careful, or the hemp rope breaks due to excessive friction on the stone wall, the body will be smashed to pieces, and there will be no whole body.
Qin Keqing looked at him thoughtfully, but Lin Jifeng stopped talking.
That being the case, Qin Keqing just said with a smile: "Young master Lin's talent is really amazing. Coincidentally, last month, Imperial Physician Wang from the Royal Pharmacy also sent a letter to complain that many precious medicinal materials in the palace were outdated because they had not been used for many years and needed a lot of attention. It’s hard for me to exchange blood. The medicines in the imperial pharmacy are of the highest quality. Tell me, where can I find so many good medicines in such a short time? It’s all right now, Mr. Lin, you are here, I’ll be here tomorrow How about sending someone to talk to Imperial Physician Wang and let you take charge of this matter?"
The meaning is very clear, Qin Keqing is willing to help Lin Jifeng obtain the comprador power of imperial medicine, or the qualification to pay tribute to the palace.
Of course, Lin Jifeng handed over: "Then thank you Miss Qin, you have done me a big favor, from now on, as long as the girl takes medicine from me, she will share [-]% of the profit, how about it?"
"Mr. Lin is really generous." Qin Keqing smiled gently, completely devoid of sarcasm, and seemed very satisfied with the result.
Of course, Lin Jifeng was also very satisfied - what he wanted was the right to pay tribute to the imperial medicine, not to send medicine to the palace through the Qin family - he didn't want to implicate Qin Keqing in the subsequent matter.
Qin Keqing definitely doesn't know her plan, but she is very smart, she doesn't trust herself, or she can't rest assured of the Lin family who is too closely connected with the political situation, so she would rather give up the biggest advantage and put her own safety first.
Qin Keqing ordered Qin Mao to send Lin Jifeng away, and asked a few servant girls to hold the big brocade box, and slowly walked back to the back hall and back to her own room.The eldest lady in charge of the family is not easy to do. She often lives in the shop for the sake of the family's business.
In front of the gold-plated dressing table, Qin Keqing sighed softly, slowly retracted her smile, and looked at herself with flaws in the mirror, with confusion in her faint eyes.
"Miss..." Seeing Qin Keqing slowly caressing the scar on her face again, the maid Ruizhu hurriedly spoke out, anxious.
"It's okay." Qin Keqing put on a gentle smile again, and used her calmness to comfort the always worried Rui Zhu, "It's okay, but I'm a little tired. The name of the boy from the Lin family is not fake, he is arrogant and insane." Li, still full of nonsense, almost don't know how to turn around."
Ruizhu came up to help Qin Keqing take off the pearl hairpin on her head, and then carefully pinched her back, pouted, as if she felt wronged for the young lady: "Miss is a daughter, she should be pampered like a peony, but now you are forced You have to show your face, but you still have to mediate with these stinky men. If you say that Mr. Zhong in our family is not up to the mark, but if he has some responsibility, why do you bother..."
"You girl, don't talk nonsense!" Qin Keqing deliberately laughed and scolded, "Brother Zhong is young, as a sister, I just hope that he will study hard and shine in the family in the future. As the saying goes, elder sisters are like mothers, even if he can't give I will earn my wife's order to come back, but if I have a younger brother who is the number one scholar, I definitely don't have to do it myself!"
Rui Zhu pouted, although she knew that she shouldn't criticize her master behind her back, but she also felt panicked in her heart: With Brother Zhong's cowardly and coquettish temperament, can you really count on him?
Although the Qin family is not as wealthy as the Xue family, it is rare to keep a low profile and not cause trouble.The head of the family, Qin Ye, is over seventy years old. He used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and now he has recovered from illness and returned home.Qin Ye had a son, Qin Zhong, and adopted his distant niece, Qin Keqing.
