Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Not long after Rongguo Mansion started to build the Xingqin Villa, the spring breeze thawed, and the prices of bricks, tiles, wood and stones in the capital had doubled several times, and there was no market for them.Wei Ruolan ordered people to take the opportunity to sell what she had hoarded, and after deducting all expenses and capital, she made a full 36 taels of silver, which is more than double the profit.The batch of goods in partnership with others also made a net profit of 200 taels because they were one step ahead of others.

After Liu Xianglian repaid Wei Ruolan's 5000 taels of loan, the 8000 taels of the remaining 7000 taels bought a house and two villas to get rid of poverty, and also funded Qin Zhong's medical treatment and recuperation s expenses.

Although Qin Zhong didn't anger his father to death, he was beaten to death, but he lost his recuperation when he was with Zhi Zhi, he was extremely weak and never recovered.The Qin family was originally a Hansu family, Qin Ye was old, lost his daughter first and was sick, and had little income, and his life was stretched. Liu Xianglian's move relieved the urgent need, and the father and son were very grateful.

Wei Ruolan heard about it by chance and laughed it off.

After laughing, he suddenly remembered that when Qin Zhong died, there was a ghost sent to seduce his soul, and he said, "The king of hell told you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch", but because he was afraid of Baoyu, a person who was very lucky, he couldn't Don't let Qin Zhong return to his soul for a moment, and leave a few last words to Baoyu.Now that his father has not died, nor has he been beaten, will Qin Zhong still be seduced?Wei Ruolan felt that he had to pay attention, if he hadn't read the script, he would never have thought that there are immortals outside the world, monks and Taoists in the world, and all have supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Wei Ruolan relocated the evacuated people inside and outside the Qin family, paying attention to Qin Zhong's life and death, and because of her young age, it was difficult to find a job, so she practiced hard at home.

Wei Ruolan practiced quietly, and finally reached the first stage of the martial arts secret book. Both internal and external cultivation, the spirit is clear and the body is healthy. There is a dense cloud of energy hovering in the dantian. With a light jump, she can fly more than ten feet into the air.At this moment, he flipped through the content of the next stage in his memory, and there were several prescriptions in the martial arts secret book. They were not so much medicine prescriptions, but medicinal diet prescriptions, or the way of diet, or the method of medicinal baths, which were taken internally and externally. , there are all rare medicinal materials, which can nourish qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and make people who practice internal skills get twice the result with half the effort.

Wei Ruolan didn't dare to use it right away, so she specially went to see a familiar old doctor's house and asked him to have a look.

The old doctor Wang thought for a long time, and suddenly showed surprise and admiration, and said repeatedly: "Wonderful! Wonderful. Brother Wei, these prescriptions of yours are all good, and their configurations are exquisite. No matter men or women, they really benefit Qi and blood. The power of strengthening muscles and bones is actually a good recipe, which can be handed down from generation to generation. However, although the prescription is good, it needs to be different from person to person, and you need to adjust it when you use it."

"So, the kid is available?"

"This medicine can't be used indiscriminately. Even if it's a medicinal diet, it's not poisonous if it's right for the symptoms. It's a big poison if it's not right. I'll give your brother his pulse first." negligence.

After hearing this, Wei Ruolan immediately stretched out her hand.

The old doctor Wang put his finger on his wrist, and after examining both his left and right hands, he said with a smile: "Brother's blood is strong, dozens of times stronger than the world's. I think it's because I practiced martial arts since childhood. These few pictures Brother Fangzi can be used, there is no need to adjust it, it should be that the person who prescribes the prescription is aimed at my physical condition when prescribing the prescription, so he must be a genius doctor."

Wei Ruolan asked: "Old doctor, ordinary people or people with insufficient Qi and blood may use this prescription to recuperate?" To replenish blood and nourish Qi, Wei Ruolan remembered that Lin Daiyu's deficiency disease is actually insufficient Qi and blood, and the lack of Qi and blood is natural. Weakened.

The old doctor Wang said without hesitation: "It can be used. However, the time of use must be adjusted according to the physical condition. My brother has strong energy and blood and can bear the power of the prescription. Ordinary people have to reduce the dosage, otherwise it will be like too much water bursting." Water sac, as for people with insufficient energy and blood, it is the right way to reduce the dosage. By the way, if it is a woman, the dosage is even less."

Wei Ruolan nodded silently, thoughtful.

The medical skills he got in his memory seem to be divided into Chinese and Western schools. Chinese medicine is the current medical technique, and Western medicine is the technique of disemboweling the stomach used by foreigners. Especially several medicines that are useful for wounded soldiers.However, there is also a saying in my memory about the quick effect of western medicine and the gradual improvement of traditional Chinese medicine without side effects. Wei Ruolan guessed that this side effect is probably the third part of the poison, the leftover after taking the medicine.

There are so many useful things in this memory, Wei Ruolan feels that she needs to sort it out, and extract some things that she understands and are very useful for the moment.

After returning home, Wei Ruolan took out a pen and paper, first copied a few copies of the prescription, and ordered people to purchase the necessary medicinal materials.

As the saying goes, poor culture and rich martial arts, it turns out that the cost of martial arts training is much higher.

Wei Ruolan took an inventory of the accounts, not counting the odds, it was the hard-earned money of herself and her servants.Among them, the principal of 3 taels is his own, and the profit of 6 taels is also his own, a total of 9 taels of silver; he borrowed 5 taels from Lin Ruhai, and the 10 taels he earned is his own, and he only needs to repay the principal of 10 taels In addition, Lin Ruhai invested 20 taels of silver for Daiyu, and the profit of 10 taels plus the principal of 35 taels belonged to Daiyu.In this way, 19 taels of silver belonged to Daiyu, and she had [-] taels of silver.

With this large sum of money, neither Daiyu nor herself will have to worry about money in the future, not to mention that I still have unspent money, the money I earned in partnership with Liu Xianglian and the others, and the 5000 taels of silver returned by Liu Xianglian. , the number is not small.

Wei Ruolan no longer puts her mind on how to make money, but writes down the methods that may be profitable in the current world from her memory, together with the medicinal methods that are useful for post-injury treatment.After tidying up, adding the few prescriptions just now, I went out to find my uncle Chen Qi.

Coincidentally, Chen Qi was at home when he was taking a rest today, which was also the reason why old doctor Wang was at home.

Chen Qi and Chen Lin only have one younger sister, Wei Ruolan's mother. They are more than ten years older than the younger sister, and they love her very much. Who would have thought that she left so early, and transferred their affection to Wei Ruolan. He took good care of him and treated him like his own son.

Chen Qi was very happy to see this talented and beautiful nephew, and ordered someone to tell his wife to make sure she cleaned up the food and drink, and asked the nephew to have a drink with him, and said with a smile: "The last time I sent someone to call you, what do you say?" Practicing martial arts hard at home is at a critical moment, come here today, but did you succeed?" Chen Qi was full of smiles, full of teasing intentions.

Wei Ruolan didn't say a word, with luck in her palm, she slashed towards the chair next to her.

Chen Qi only felt that there was a gust of wind passing by in front of his eyes, and turned his head to look in the direction of Wei Ruolan's palm splitting. His smiling eyes suddenly widened, and he looked in surprise at the chair that was falling apart without a sound.

"What kind of kung fu is this?" Chen Qi was sure that the chair was intact before, and it was made of extremely hard rosewood.

Wei Ruolan proudly said: "This skill is called Splitting the Palm, which means hitting a cow from the air. However, I haven't practiced it to a great extent, I only know a little bit. It can shatter chairs into powder without dispersing them. When facing the enemy, it can also shatter the internal organs of the enemy, which is extremely powerful."

Chen Qi applauded loudly, "Okay, okay, although I don't know where you got this miraculous kung fu, but just because of your kung fu of fighting cattle across mountains, uncle can arrange for you to enter the Daming Palace as the first-class guard in front of the imperial court to protect you." The safety of the saint."

The guards of the Daming Palace are Long Jinwei who guards the Forbidden Road in the inner court. Most of them are selected from noble families, and a few are from the army.The first-class Long Jinwei has always been personally guarding the current saint. When walking in front of the imperial court, you can often see saints. The rank is fourth rank. The guard commander is from the first rank.The bodyguards who were born in the first-class Long Jinwei can basically be reused, and many children from aristocratic families are fighting for the spot.But the first-class Dragon Forbidden Captain is not the fifth-rank Dragon Forbidden Captain who can get in by paying a few dollars to buy eunuchs. Without extraordinary hard work and loyalty, you can't get in at all, and you have to pass the sage's personal examination.Therefore, although the first-class Long Jinwei is the son of aristocratic family, all of them are talents, and they are definitely not the generation of cockfighting and lackeys.

Wei Ruolan's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of Captain Long?With my own kung fu, I am completely competent.In fact, joining the army is also possible, but his father doesn't seem to want him to enter the army. Since his grandfather passed away, his father rarely let him see the soldiers under his command. Instead, he often took Wei Yuan there, and even ordered Wei Yuan to practice martial arts with the retired old subordinates. Make friends with lieutenant generals.

"I'll be 15 next year. I'll practice martial arts well this year, and I'll strive to make further progress. Uncle Lao will arrange for me next year." Wei Ruolan finished speaking with a smile, remembering what she wanted, and hurriedly presented the prescription copied in her sleeve.

In fact, Chen Qi had already considered Wei's father's indifference towards Wei Ruolan, so he decided to take care of this nephew. Originally, what he thought was that although Wei Ruolan's kung fu was not superb, it was not bad. With some qualifications, after he comes out, he will arrange errands for him, and he will come up slowly.Now that he has made great progress in martial arts, the previous arrangement has wronged him, so it is better to make a good plan and let him show his face in front of the saint, so that he can become a first-class dragon guard without arranging himself.

"You don't have to wait until next year, I will believe it in autumn. You should practice martial arts well now. In autumn, the royal family will go to Iron Net Mountain to hunt. If you use your skills to hunt more big prey, the saint will definitely pay attention."

Wei Ruolan nodded hastily.

Chen Qi smiled satisfied, looked down at the paper, and stood up abruptly, "Ruolan, where did this come from?" Chen Qi was in charge of the household department, leaving aside the medicinal recipes for the time being, but those ways to get rich and make medicines were of great importance to the imperial court. extremely useful.

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "When I was traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, I came across a strange book, which contained all kinds of records. I was afraid that it would fall into the wrong hands and cause disaster, so I burned it after memorizing it. There was a disaster everywhere, the household department was short of money, and many soldiers in the frontier were injured and could not get good medicine. Finally, they were shrouded in horse leather. I remembered this book and copied some useful ones for my uncle. Uncle saw what to do. As for the medicinal recipe The son has the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing qi and strengthening the muscles and bones. It is also my nephew's heart to show filial piety to uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters and ask doctors to adjust them for use."

Chen Qi closed his eyes, opened them, and said: "My good boy, it's hard for you to worry about the country and the people. These prescriptions for getting rich and making medicine are very important, especially the latter, you can't pass them on to others. You can choose whatever you want. I ordered people to review the results of these prescriptions and submit them to the Holy Majesty immediately, and I will give you a great credit when the time comes."

The methods of getting rich and making medicines are really good, but Chen Qi understands that he can't eat it alone, and it is easy to attract the dissatisfaction of the saints. Presumably Wei Ruolan also thought of this, and then wanted to use these methods into practice through his own hands.

As for why Wei Ruolan didn't hand it over to his father, Chen Qi quite understood.

If the father is not kind, how can he ask for the filial piety of the son?
