Chapter 19 Folding herbal medicine package

 "Didn't you say we were going to Pingkangfang? Why did you come to Anpingfang?"

Jia Lian looked out and saw that the route was different, so he turned back to see Jia Rong.

"I ask you what is the most popular in Anpingfang?"

Jia Lian thought carefully and said: "There are the most wine shops."

Jia Rong shook his head.

"There are the most foreigners."

Jia Rong still shook his head.

"Then what do you say the most."

Jia Rong: "The most people are officials.

Behind a high-ranking official, there are a series of junior officials serving him. Why are there so many wine shops here?"

"Because there are the most petty officials in Kangshi here. They have some money but can't afford good food, so they buy food in front of their homes. They are willing to eat, so they have the most wine shops."

"If you accidentally look at these junior officials from the sixth or fifth grade, they are the best at spreading news. If you want the reputation of the second master to reach the ears of the second-grade officials, start with the junior officials."

Besides, Jia Zheng was only from the fifth rank, and his promotion could be resolved by the Minister of Civil Affairs without having to go to the emperor.

Jia Lian suddenly realized, "You are still smart."

"Here we give porridge. The porridge must be thick and taste good. It is only allowed to be given to the common people, not to the families of officials."

"Why?"

"How can proud people eat alms? They won't even look at you. If you treat them differently, they will look at you more."

"I understand." Jia Lian had to admire him, "You and I are not much different, so why are you more thoughtful than me in everything?"

Workplace life is not just talk.

Smart people may not always succeed, but careful people will definitely accomplish a lot.

The next day, while Jia Rong was still in the academy, Jia Lian sent someone to call her out.

Jia Lian jumped forward and hooked Jia Rong's neck with one hand, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink."

Jia Rong shook off his hand and wanted to go back to the academy.

"No, no, no, no, I'm really in trouble."

Jia Rong told Kang'er, "Go to Lange'er and tell him that I have to leave beforehand and let him go back by himself."

"Yes."

Jia Rong told Jiao Da who was guarding the concierge, "You stay and take Lan Ge'er home."

"Yes."

After explaining this, Jia Rong and Jia Lian left.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Jia Lian couldn't bear it anymore.

"You know? As soon as the second master came home, he praised me and said that I did a good job.

I specifically asked someone to inquire about it, and the officials who worked in the same room as the second master all praised the second master.

Other officials passing by praised me as a kind man."

"I really admire you. Brother Rong, you used this trick so well. What should we do next?"

Sitting on the soft cushion, Jia Rong asked him: "Who is the second master's biggest enemy?"

"Yuan Wai Lang Niu Li is a distant relative of Zhen Guo Gongfu. He got his official position by donating his official position. But he is good at currying favor and is very good at winning people's hearts."

"Then let's start with him."

Jia Lian hesitated, "But he is the Duke of Zhenguo, and we are family friends."

"You said they are distant relatives, but they are not directly descended from the Duke of Zhenguo. What are you afraid of?

To say he is afraid, it is because he is afraid of us."

After the two incidents of wolf skin and porridge, Jia Lian was completely convinced of Jia Rong.

As long as Jia Rong said it, he would believe it.

Since Jia Rong said to do the cow ceremony, then do it.

Niu Li is not a good person either, he does a lot of dirty things in private.

Pulling out any one of them is a serious crime, such as raping women, forcing girls into prostitution, and abducting young girls.

Now that she has left the academy, Jia Rong does not want to go back.

Wouldn’t it be nice to go home and warm yourself by the fire?

You have to find fault.

Separated from Jia Lian, Jia Rong went home.

Yuanyang went to the next door to help, and Qing'er followed.

When he got back to the house, there was no hot tea to drink, so he followed him there by some strange mistake.

The Rongguo Mansion is bustling, and the female family members who have been cooped up in the inner house finally have something to do.

Packing bags of medicinal materials is a way to pray for blessings and save the suffering people. They are very happy to make them.

They placed a large round table in Jia Mu's house, which was piled with chopped medicinal materials.

This is a universal prescription for repelling colds, and the amount of medicine is not large.

For example, three isatis roots and a piece of ginger...

It's very simple, as long as you can count, you can pack the medicine package.

A group of women sat together, folding medicine bags and chatting, having a great time.

Jia Baoyu was very happy sitting among the women, admiring all kinds of beauties.

If he knew that these medicine bags were for his father's promotion, would he lift the table and curse?

It’s funny to think of this.

"Uncle Rong is here."

The sharp-eyed girl spotted him immediately.

Li Wan stood up, leaned over and looked behind Jia Rong.

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Lang Ge'er was praised by the teacher. The teacher was happy and talked more about it, so he left him to study in the academy for a while."

Li Wan was both happy and a little worried.

"It's cold. We really shouldn't let him there alone. Ask the housekeeper to send someone to pick him up."

Li Wan felt embarrassed and said, "Let him study for a while."

"Brother Rong, come and sit."

Yuanyang gave up his seat and let Jia Rong sit down.

Jia Rong greeted Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing, and then sat down.

Coincidentally, Xichun is right next to it.

Xichun is a beautiful girl, she is still young and has not developed yet.

If unfolded, she would be a beauty with charming eyes.

He asked Xichun: "Auntie, have you used up the bamboo charcoal I gave you last time? I still have it over there, can I give you some more?"

"After all, they are from the same grandfather. Look at Xichun, Rong's caring brother. He looks like a brother taking care of his sister." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

"Feng Lazi, you are talking nonsense again. It is only natural for a nephew to take care of his aunt." Jia Mu laughed and scolded Wang Xifeng.

Jia Mu was the only one present who dared to say this about Wang Xifeng.

However, in the near future, a little girl will dare to confront Wang Xifeng.

Xichun is Jia Zhen's sister and Jia Rong's aunt.

This girl was born without the love of her father and mother, and her life in Rongguo Mansion was not very satisfactory.

Everyone's attention is focused on Jia Baoyu, a girl from Ningguo Mansion who was born as a concubine. As long as she is not hungry or cold, she will be fine.

Who really cares about her?

Jia Rong felt sorry for her and didn't want her to be lonely or become a nun.

People who have watched Dream of Red Mansions say that Xichun is withdrawn and eccentric, and there are already signs of her becoming a nun.

Actually no, she has no friends.

Before the Jia family was defeated, whenever Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu asked her to go out to play, she would go.

Because there was no one in the house to play with her, she got together with Miaoyu, who was of the same age.

A person who is used to being alone finally feels that it is not bad to be alone.

The lively Tanchun put his head in and said, "Brother Rong is partial, and his eyes are entirely focused on Sister Xichun."

"The only person in my room is Aunt Xichun, so naturally I have to pamper her.

If I don't feel more sorry for her when she gets married someday, who else will feel sorry for her?"

These words touched the hearts of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing.

Wang Xifeng also felt this.

When I was a girl, I was the most favored in my family, but when I got married, I had to be constantly criticized.

The female relatives of Rongguo Mansion have a lot of affection for Jia Rong and think he is sensible and reasonable.

Exploring spring, cherishing spring, and welcoming spring think it is interesting.
