This young man's name is Wan Li,
Shuijing spent a lot of effort to kidnap him from the Godly Medical Valley. Because of this, he did not dare to take half a step into the Godly Medical Valley,
He was afraid that the valley master, that weird-tempered old man, would treat him with all kinds of poisons.
"It's just a rich medicine." Wan Li casually threw it on the table,
He said indifferently, "This prescription looks mysterious, but the medicine is effective."
Shuijing and Wen Dongyan were stunned at the same time.
"But that girl did see an effect after eating it. Many doctors saw it before, but it was useless." Shuijing was a little puzzled.
"The treatment of rich people is different from the treatment of poor people,
The illness that poor people can cure with a few copper coins,
The treatment of rich people may not be effective even if they spend thousands of taels, "Wan Li explained slowly,
"Especially when treating children,
Medicine is 30% poisonous,
The child's body can't withstand too strong the effect of the medicine,
This requires an appropriate reduction of the dosage. Most of the rich people,
Love their children as much as their lives. If the young master or miss can't take the medicine and cause other diseases,
The doctor who treated the child would bear the brunt and become the target of everyone's anger. Therefore, these doctors tried their best to use mild medicine to protect themselves. And too mild,
The effect of the medicine will be reduced. "
Shuijing nodded, deeply understanding. The doctors among the people were like this,
The imperial physicians in the palace were all shrewd people. The concubines in the harem and the women in the mansions of the princes and ministers had endless methods,
Only you couldn't think of it,
There was nothing they couldn't do. Naturally, the imperial physicians were trained to turn a blind eye, to deceive themselves, to protect themselves, and to lie through their teeth.
"Isn't there still a pack of medicinal primers? Will it have any special effect?" It was difficult for Wen Dongyan not to think about it when it came to the scabby-headed monk.
Wan Li smiled and said, "If this medicine really has a magical effect, then Miss Xue should be cured after taking it, instead of taking one every time she has an illness. It treats the symptoms but not the root of the problem. The effect is just like rock candy and pear water. There's not much difference. "
Shuijing and Wen Dongyan were enlightened. "That makes sense."
Wan Li continued, "This Cold Fragrance Pill, if you're lucky, you'll need one or two years to make all of them. If you're unlucky, you might not even get all of them in ten years. Furthermore, this was a task that required a lot of effort. Without a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, it was impossible to complete. This Xue family is really rich. "
Wen Dongyan tapped his forehead twice with his goose feather fan and asked, "Master, if two ladies have the same illness, one drinks rock candy and pear water, and the other eats cold fragrance pills, what would you think?"
What else could she think? The two of them were not on the same level at all. Even ginseng and bird's nest couldn't compare to this Cold Fragrance Pill. One must know that ginseng and bird's nest could be bought with silver, but the Lengxiang Pill could not be bought no matter how much silver was spent.
Shuijing somewhat understood Wen Dongyan's meaning.
Because Empress Tai Mu and Emperor Taizu fought for the country together, the current dynasty was not as harsh on women as the previous dynasty. In addition to visiting relatives and friends, women were also allowed to participate in some banquets or enjoy the flowers with their sisters in the company of their servants. They were not raised in a boudoir without being recognized.
Some of the banquets would even hold some talent competitions to determine the most outstanding person. Whether the host gave some rewards or praise, it was a kind of glory. This was a disguised way to promote their fame.
The most important thing in a woman's life was to get married. Although it was all arranged by parents and matchmakers, under the conditions of the same family background, they had to start judging from appearance, character, talent, and so on. This girl's poem had won the first prize. That girl's painting had been praised by so and so. Because the madams had a good impression of them, they would first think of them when looking for a daughter-in-law.
It was also like the imperial concubines in the harem. The more unique one would attract the attention of the emperor. The less unique one could only grow old alone in the harem.
Xue family in Jinling was very rich. As the saying goes, there is a lot of snow in a harvest year. Pearls are like earth and gold are like iron. This was how the Xue family was described. Xue family was not an ordinary imperial merchant. They were the descendants of Xue Gong. But even with these titles, Xue Baochai could not break free from the restrictions of being a merchant's daughter.
Among scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, the status of merchants was the lowest. In ancient times, there were even laws that stated that merchants were of lowly birth and could not marry farmers or farmers of good birth. Although there was no such law in the current dynasty, many customs were passed down. Small families or officials with no foundation might not mind, but large families with a bit of background or scholarly families were not willing to marry merchants. Many rising aristocrats were the same. They even avoided merchants for fear of being called nouveau riche who did not know the rules.
Xue Baochai's identity as a merchant's daughter prevented her from marrying into a large family that paid attention to family status. She could only marry into one of the Four Great Families, the Jia, Shi, and Wang Families.
Of course, she could also participate in poetry gatherings and banquets to gain a good reputation in the hopes that the madams would forget her identity as a merchant's daughter. But even if Xue Baochai was proficient in the four arts and was more skilled than others, it was impossible for her to win. The daughter of a merchant could not win against the daughter of an official. This was almost an unwritten rule.
If Xue Baochai wanted to change her situation, the best way was for her father or brother to take the imperial examination. Even if her family produced a scholar, it could change her situation and allow her to marry into a good family.
This Cold Fragrance Pill was also a solution. Just the process of making it was eye-catching. With the name of an overseas immortal, it immediately made Xue Baochai stand out from the rest. The stench of copper also disappeared and added a bit of an immortal aura.
One had to know that anything related to immortals would make people feel reverence and yearn for it. To say something disrespectful, the founding emperor of every dynasty would say that he had a fortuitous encounter or that his mother dreamed of a dragon when she was pregnant with him. It was just a way to buy people's hearts. As for whether it was true or not, only the emperor himself would know.
"No way," Shuijing's expression was a bit strange, "You mean that the scabby-headed monk gave her the Cold Fragrance Pill to help her find a good marriage? At that time, how old was the Xue family's daughter?"
Wen Dongyan slowly opened his mouth and said, "There is something that this subordinate has not had time to report to Master. That scabby-headed monk also gave Miss Xue a golden locket, engraved on the front and back of the locket, 'Never leave, never abandon, forever young'. It just so happened to correspond to the 'Never lose, Never forget' engraved on Jia Baoyu's' Psychic Jade '. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of a golden match. "
"So the scabby-headed monk did these things to set up a match between Jia Baoyu and the Xue family's daughter?"
"Hehe, it's because I know too well that I dare to say this." Jia Xie laughed mockingly, "Isn't it because Old Madam and the Wang Clan asked you to do this? Don't cover up for them. Do you think I don't know what kind of people they are? A child shouldn't speak of a mother's mistakes, so I won't talk about Old Madam. Let's talk about that good Second Aunt of yours. She looks kind on the surface, but her heart is blacker than ink. Her temper is worse than the filth in the latrine pit. She is sinister, cunning, greedy, and vicious. With such a large sum of money in front of her, how could she not do everything possible to get it into her own private pocket? If she didn't get a single copper coin, she would vomit until she couldn't sleep at night. "
Jia Xie spoke very quickly, especially when she was describing Lady Wang. She didn't even take a breath in between. In fact, Jia Xie had to greet Lady Wang's ancestors in her heart almost every day for the past few years. She didn't greet Jia Zheng because they shared the same ancestor. However, she could only greet them in her heart and couldn't say it out loud. It really made her feel very sullen. Now that she finally had a chance to vent, Jia Xie felt much more comfortable in her heart.
Jia Lian was dumbfounded once again.
Although he knew that his father didn't like Second Uncle and Second Aunt, he always thought that it was because they lived in Glory Hall. However, it was Old Madam's idea for Second Uncle and Second Aunt to live in Glory Hall. Even if his father was angry, he couldn't resent Old Madam. He could only vent his anger on Second Uncle and Second Aunt. However, judging from his father's words just now, it didn't seem to be the case. Compared to Second Uncle Jia Zheng, his father seemed to hate Lady Wang more.
The Jia Lian recalled Lady Wang's actions over the past few years. Although Lady Wang wasn't as kind as outsiders thought, she wasn't as bad as his father said. Could there be some misunderstanding? Maybe someone wanted to sow discord between the first and second branches?
The Jia Lian's intuition told him that there was a conspiracy, a big conspiracy, so his face became serious and he asked solemnly, "Master, did someone say something nonsense in front of you? Please tell me honestly."
Jia Xie was still immersed in the pleasure of mocking Lady Wang. When the Jia Lian asked, he didn't react for a moment. "Tell me honestly? What nonsense did someone say in front of me?"
The Jia Lian saw that his eyes didn't flicker and didn't seem to be guilty. He was a little confused and asked, "Master, why did you say those words? Isn't Second Aunt good? She takes good care of her son."
Jia Xie finally understood what it meant to be a Jia Lian. His silly son's heart was still with Second Uncle and Second Aunt.
Jia Xie felt that he should give the Jia Lian a heavy blow. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future for a father to be kind and a son to be filial. It was right to lead his son to the right path first. After all, it was easy to fall into the gutter if he took too many shortcuts.
Thinking of this, he clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and said disappointedly, "Your mother and I are very smart. How could we give birth to such a silly son? You usually look very smart, but when you meet those scheming people, you help them count the money even when you are betrayed. "
The Jia Lian looked unconvinced and whispered, "How is my son silly?"
Jia Xie said, "Didn't you come to Yangzhou to wait for your uncle to die? Then you can take all the property of the Lin family back to the capital. If you can take all the money into your own private pocket, father won't say anything about you. But you only took a small portion of the money, and the rest was taken by others. You've worked so hard and racked your brains to do so many things, but in the end, you're only working for others. If you're not stupid, then what are you? "
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jia Xie said too straightforwardly. The Jia Lian's face was very embarrassed and he defended himself, "There is something that you may not know. Uncle and Old Madam have already discussed it. Sister Lin will marry Baoyu in the future. Uncle also said that everything of the Lin family will be left to Sister Lin as her dowry. Your son is just bringing Sister Lin's dowry back to our mansion in advance. "
