[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

What a pair of treasures!

When Zuo Xi and Ying'er rushed to the ancestral hall to the east of Xue's mansion, they happened to hear Aunt Xue and Xue Pan discussing how to break up the punishment of 'Master Xue'.

There is not much room for flexibility in punishing kneeling, it is nothing more than adding two futons, but the fifty big sticks can still be thoughtful.So the two of them discussed it for a while and decided to hit [-] sticks today, and save the remaining [-] sticks for the next month and the next month.

Fifty sticks are divided into three installments. When can you pay in installments even if you are fined?

In this way, wouldn't a good punishment become a child's play, losing its original meaning and function.

Zuo Xi looked at Aunt Xue with a bit of resentment, really can't count on you.

What made Zuo Xi extremely disappointed was that after the discussion between the two women, Aunt Xue held up a stick and patted her son's fat buttocks with the force comparable to a woman's rouge on a mirror. The force was so light that even a fly could not be killed .

And Xue Pan on the side is also a strange thing, he even put on a face of pain very cooperatively, and howled earth-shatteringly there, "Oh, it hurts to death, it hurts to death, just lighten up, lighten up!" Come on."

Seeing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but feel distressed, "My son hit my son, and it hurts my mother. Mom hurts more than you."

"..."

Zuo Xi stood at the open door of the ancestral hall and rolled his eyes angrily. He raised his foot and was about to go in when he saw the big housekeeper who was replaced by the old Cangtou from Feng's house trotting all the way to the ancestral hall.So Zuo Xi stood directly at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and witnessed with his own eyes that the butler moved his rich body and ran to the entrance of the ancestral hall, then stopped panting, symbolically straightened his clothes and hats, and then bent over to salute the ancestral hall a whole set of actions.

Is this an immersive show?

The butler first changed Zuo Xi, who was standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and called a girl, and then stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall and replied to Aunt Xue and Xue Pan: "Grandma, sir, there are people from Beijing."

Upon hearing this, let alone Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, even Zuo Xi couldn't help but put all his thoughts on the words of the housekeeper.

"Who is here?" Zuo Xi glanced at Aunt Xue thinking about the direction of the story, and couldn't help guessing whether the person who came was sent by the second wife of Rongguo Mansion.After all, according to the timetable, they are about to enter Beijing.

But this time, Zuo Xi guessed wrong.

"It's Eunuch Qin next to Master Jiu."

The father-in-law is not available to ordinary people.And the usable father-in-law is also known as the ninth master. Zuo Xi thought of Kangxi's ninth elder brother in a blink of an eye.

Just Aixinjueluo Yin, Yin or something, a legendary elder brother who likes to do business.

Elder brother Huang who likes to do business, Xue family who established the world with imperial business. Thinking of this, Zuo Xi couldn't help but shiver.Raising his head, he asked the big butler in a voice of forbearance and resistance: "Is it Lord Kangxi's Ninth Elder Brother?"

When the big butler asked, he nodded straightly twice without giving Zuo Xi any buffer.

"The girl is smart, and she is the one who waits by your lord's side."

Oh~

Even though he had already guessed it, Zuo Xi was still shocked by the news.Those who have seen four, four, eight, eight love and kill each other, who can't remember Lao Jiu, a money-scattering cannon fodder.

Oh my god, the Xue family is actually related to that person, what the hell is it?

Even if Xue Pan is still a brat in the current Xue family, he is still the head of the Xue family.Now that there are guests at home, Xue Pan is also needed to come forward to entertain.

So Xue Pan stopped screaming for pain and got up consciously from the ground. Aunt Xue also put down a big stick that was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold. The two mothers straightened their clothes and hair, and wrapped Zuo Xi between them and went to the main room.

The main reason is that Qiaqiao is a father-in-law, so not only Xue Pan can see him, but also Aunt Xue and Zuo Xi.

Aunt Xue was worried about her son, fearing that he would not be able to socialize.But Zuo Xi simply wanted to see what his father-in-law looked like and what he was talking about when he came to Xue's house.

In other words, I don’t know if the father-in-law of this time and space has practiced the Sunflower Book and Bone-Mist Palm~

When they arrived at the main room, everyone met together, and after taking their seats, Qin Baliang directly spoke his mind.

"...Jiuye heard that the daughter of your mansion had an adventure when she was young, and now she is taking a strange medicine called 'Lengxiang Wan'. My son Jiuye got the prescription before, but he was missing a blind medicine. I couldn't find it and sent it. I don’t know if I can cede a few pills, so that the Zajia can go back to work.” Qin Baliang was seeking medicine for Brother Jiu, so even if he found that the orphans and widows of Xue’s family were not too smart, Nor did he overwhelm others.He is ready to understand first with emotion and move with reason.If this trick doesn't work, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to use some means to give it some color.

Because Qin Baliang's previous attitude was too polite, Xue Pan, the little overlord of Jinling, forgot the identity of this person and the master behind him for a while, so he directly showed the courage of his local tyrant and refused even thinking about it: "The medicine is from me. My sister’s life-saving medicine doesn’t even take a single pill.”

"Ahem. That medicine is indeed a life-saving medicine for my little girl. It is worth thousands of gold, and a pill is not cheap." Seeing Xue Pan rejecting it without even thinking about it, Zuo Xi was so frightened that he quickly interrupted him. "Since my father-in-law has heard about the origin of the disease, he must have also heard about the fact that our family only got one medicine primer. One medicine primer is only enough for one round of medicine. It is true that one pill is less than one pill. Taking it year after year After a long time, I am afraid that there are not a few pills for the father-in-law, please forgive me."

Afraid to say too much and make mistakes, and also afraid to know too much and die soon, so Zuo Xi didn't dare to ask that Jiuye whether he took this Lengxiang pill for medical treatment, or for business, or just pure curiosity.Therefore, Zuo Xi quickly interrupted Xue Pan's words, and then took them over naturally.After politely talking about the situation with the father-in-law, he turned his head and called Ying'er to fetch three pills of 'Lengxiang pills'.

This interruption caused Xue Pan to react.Although he was a bit silly, he also knew that Zuo Xi was helping him smooth things over.Sitting there was very quiet for a while, not daring to speak anymore.And Aunt Xue is not a social expert, she still knows what to say when facing the female relatives, but now she just wants to say something to the eunuch and father-in-law next to elder brother, but she doesn't know what to say for a while.So after Ying'er went out, there was some silence in the room.In order not to cool down the scene, Zuo Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and chat with the Eunuch Qin in front of him.

"Eunuch drinks tea." Zuo Xi pointed to the snacks on the table again, and said politely: "It's just the ones next to our house, but this tea is rare and fresh and clean. Father-in-law has worked hard all the way, so you might as well use more." It is said in the novel This Master Ninth, nicknamed the Snake Nine, is the most cruel and ruthless, with a small belly, and asks his subordinates to pretend to be bandits and destroy people all over the house if they disagree with each other.Birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups. Who knows if the people around him are also like this.

"Miss Xue, you're being polite." The people around elder brother are proud and respectable. Because they were almost humiliated by Xue Pan just now, they answered Zuo Xi coldly and picked up the tea bowl for a while. Widen the tea.

Zuo Xi: "..."

Said it as if she wanted to be polite.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

With a hot face and a cold butt, Zuo Xi's desire to socialize was instantly weakened.So he asked the girl to bring more fruit and snacks, and she didn't say anything.

Qin Ba put tea on both ends.Zuo Xi was holding a topaz in one hand and sitting there gnawing on a snack with his eyes downcast, the two of them stopped talking, and the main room became even more silent.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan looked around, and finally didn't know what to think. One took an apple and ate it sweetly, and the other took half a pomegranate elegantly and dignifiedly, and ate the pomegranate inside one by one. seed.

It's not like Qin Baliang is really ignoring everything and concentrating on drinking tea, how could he not notice the actions of the Xue family three.Seeing the three mothers eat like this regardless, it's really angry and funny.

Sure enough, none of this family is too smart.

When the girls of Xue's family brought several plates of fruit and snacks one after another, filling up the small tables on Qin Baliang's left and right sides, Ying'er finally came back with a small box.

The carved lacquer box was delivered to Zuo Xi first, Zuo Xi opened it and took a look, the fragrance of Lengxiang Wan entered his nostrils, and after confirming that it was correct, he signaled Yinger to send it to Qin Baliang, "Give it to Eunuch Qin."

Hearing this, Ying'er walked up to Qin Baliang with the open box, slightly bent her knees, and respectfully handed over the box.

Qin Baliang smelled the aroma of Lengxiang pills, thought to himself, after taking the box, he closed the box with a 'pop' sound, then stood up and hugged the Xue family three, "Master Jiu is still waiting!" Let’s go, the miscellaneous family will take their leave now.”

The three members of the Xue family stood up at the same moment Qin Baliang stood up, and Xue Pan smiled when he heard that Qin Baliang had just left.

After Zuo Xi saw it, the corners of his mouth twitched.When he came back to his senses, he thought of a more realistic question, that is, whether to give this Qin Baliang a purse.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zuo Xi thought of it, Aunt Xue had already sent someone to send her over.

Aunt Xue: She is familiar with this routine.

Zuo Xi glanced at the thin purse, and knew that it contained bank notes.

Knowing that it was a bank note, Zuo Xi's thoughts couldn't help but diverge.

Are there any fake bank notes in this era?

If so, how to distinguish the authenticity of bank notes?By the way, is there an anti-counterfeit mark on the bank note?

Qin Ba glanced at the purse, and accepted it after a few words of politeness.Afterwards, for Zuo Xi, the Eunuch Qin left on horseback with his entourage, so there was nothing to describe.

When leaving the main room with Aunt Xue, Zuo Xi was more concerned about the denomination of banknotes in the purse that Aunt Xue gave out.

"It's still your old man's example, the first-class letter, 100 taels."

100 two?

Zuo Xi, who had no idea about the 100 taels, quickly recalled the original owner's monthly allowance and the salary standard of Rongguo Mansion in Dream of the Red Chamber.

The original owner was the prostitute of the Xue family, and she was also a sparrow whom Mr. Xue placed high hopes on, so besides the fixed 20-month payment, she also had a lot of subsidies every month.And the wives of Rongguo Mansion are paid [-] taels per month, Sanchun and other girls from the Jia family are paid two taels, and the first-class girls are paid one tael...

So the Xue family's first-class seals are really very, very many.

"How much money does our family have now?" Stimulated by this first-class seal, Zuo Xi subconsciously wanted to know the origin of Xue's family.

"There are so many things, there are always several million taels. The main thing is the goods in the store. If they are sold out, there may be more."

Zuo Xi: So how did you live your life like that later?

……

The matter of asking for medicine seemed to be a small episode, and it passed without a trace with Xue's mother and son.But Zuo Xi was worried that this Lengxiang pill would be missed.

Then if the nobleman has finished eating, how about coming to Xue's house to ask for it?There are only so many things. With the temperament of those princes and brothers, maybe they will dump all the Lengxiang pills in the pot.

These days when I came here, I took a pill of Lengxiang pill when I first came here.So Zuo Xi didn't know whether Xue Baochai's body needed to take this Lengxiang pill all the time.But the most troublesome thing about the configuration of this Lengxiang pill is not the flowers, pistils, or snow, but the medicine introduction.

Zuo Xi couldn't imagine what would happen to Xue Baochai if her body had to take Lengxiang pills, but she ran out of Lengxiang pills?

The medicine primer was given by Laitou monk and the lame Taoist. If you want to make another Lengxiang pill, do you have to go all over the world to find these two people?

It may not be possible to find it.

Recalling the original book, the last time the Laitou monk and the lame Taoist appeared, or the last time Zuo Xi remembered it was when Baoyu and Sister Feng were killed by the five ghosts and nightmares.

After having an idea, Zuo Xi began to quietly smuggle half of the jar of Lengxiang pills into the small apartment.

Considering that Lengxiang pills have been kept in jars and buried under flower roots, Zuo Xi guessed that the key to preservation is to avoid light, low temperature and humidity.So Zuo Xi put half of the Lengxiang pills that had been smuggled back into the fresh-keeping cabinet of the Sanmen refrigerator.Half of it was stored in a covered porcelain jar and placed in the kitchen cabinet.In the end, he got nearly a catty of cork and kept it in the small apartment, and he was relieved.

After finishing all this, Zuo Xi ordered people to collect all kinds of pistils and snow dew for making Lengxiang pills and prepare them first.When I get the medicine introduction when I meet the Laitou monk and the lame Taoist in the future, I can directly dispense the medicine.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Qin Ba rushed to the capital for two days and nights, and just got off his horse in front of Jiu's mansion that day, when he saw Jiu's brother walking out of the mansion with a look of shock and anger.

Seeing Brother Jiu, Qin Baliang hastily stepped forward to pay his respects.I just said a 'grandfather', and then I was interrupted by Brother Jiu, "Got it?"

"Thanks to the Lord, I've already got it." Qin Baliang was not the one who couldn't see, seeing Brother Jiu's complexion, he quickly handed over the small box that he had carried all the way from his arms.

Lao Jiu took the box, glanced at it, then stepped on the horse led by the guard and left in a hurry.

Qin Baliang couldn't figure it out, and watched Brother Jiu and his party leave before going into the mansion to find acquaintances to inquire about the situation.

What?Brother Eleven had two ribs broken by the little maid who was waiting on him!

After knowing what happened, even Qin Baliang, who thought he was well-informed, was a little stunned.

Hey, I'm afraid the palace is busy.
