The old ginseng in Hua Niang's hand, that is definitely a treasure, when Hua Niang wrapped the brocade box in a pile of clothes and took it out of the house, she had already thought of a countermeasure, and returned the money from selling the ginseng to Xue Ba, and the remaining money was re-bought with an ordinary mountain ginseng for preparation, which would not affect the production of the side Fujin, but also keep the Han family.

A three-room Mingtang shop at the bottom of Yiningqiao Hutong is the most famous pawnshop in this area, Tong Su is not bullied, the price is fair, and it is said that he has a background in the government, but he also disdains to do those things that kill people and sell goods.

As soon as Hua Niang walked into the shop, she felt that her eyes were dark, and behind a row of high counters facing the door, a young young student who looked a little obscene greeted warmly.

"I'm going to be this thing, I'm going to die!" Hua Niang hesitated again and again, and then stepped forward and sent the brocade box in the baggage to the counter.

The young man only glanced at it, and then called out to the back, and an old man with a white beard and a good spirit walked to the counter, lit a candlestick, and looked at it carefully by the faint light, and nodded to the young man after a while.

"Death is 700 taels, do you think this price is feasible?" Xiao Young said a few words to the old man in the back, and then asked politely.

Hua Niang nodded repeatedly, this price is quite different from her psychological expectations, and she originally thought that it would be good to be five hundred taels.

A piece of paper pawn ticket, a few silver tickets with the pass number, Hua Niang left the pawnshop like this.

The Han family knew that the flower girl stole the master's things, and his face was like a frosted eggplant, but he also knew that there was no way, and he happened to meet the Han family's father to make trouble again, and for the first time in his life, he collided with the father, threw a silver ticket of fifty taels in front of the Han family's father's feet, pushed the father away, and rushed out of the door.

And the flower girl rubbed her hands awkwardly, and sent her father, who was not only not angry, but a little excited, out of the door, and also took the silver ticket to the entrance of the lamp market.

Renjitang, a well-known gold-lettered signboard of the medical hall pharmacy, the primary school apprentice looked at the flower girl into the door, as soon as he heard that he wanted to buy ginseng, he knew that there was a big deal, and looked at the flower girl's clothes, he knew that this was doing things for the nobles, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited the doctor to sit in the hall to catch the medicine for the flower girl.

A 35-year-old ginseng plant costs 500 taels and sells for 450 taels.

A 20-year-old mountain ginseng costs 300 taels and sells for 300 taels.

Hua Niang thought that the longer the year, the better the effect of this medicine, and she also knew that this money was exchanged for Erfu's ginseng, so she directly put the silver tickets of four hundred and fifty taels on the counter, and packed the thirty-year-old ginseng into the baggage.

This qiē looks very smooth, Hua Niang has been mentioning it in her throat and eyes, and it finally fell, the only place where she felt a little depressed was that when she returned home, she collided with a pear seller, and the burden on her wrist was scattered all over the ground, and she didn't have any small clothes in it, otherwise this face would have fallen into a big hair.

The peddler was very polite, apologized again and again, and stuffed three or five sweet pears the size of an adult man's fist for Hua Niang, and then pushed the wheelbarrow with a sound of bones and left the back door of the fourth master's mansion.

returned to the fourth master's mansion, Hua Niang put the old ginseng she bought again in the cabinet at the head of the bed, and hung a copper lock, so she hung the key around her neck with anxiety.

Just two days after the peaceful days, there was news from the main room that the master was about to give birth, and told her to prepare the stewed ginseng soup, she carefully opened the cabinet, prepared a few ingredients, and then put the ginseng in the brocade box in the stew pot.

Time passed little by little, the ginseng in the stew pot also changed a little, Hua Niang's face turned white all of a sudden, she has been serving in the house for a few years, plus when she was in the Internal Affairs Office, it was not that she had not made ginseng soup for those old men, since she knew the mountain ginseng, the old ginseng in the stew pot in front of her was clearly a little wrong.

It's just that Hua Niang didn't dare to tell others, if the original old ginseng had such a thing, she would naturally dare to inform everyone, but the one in front of her was bought back from outside, and she could only suppress this matter in her heart.

Don't say it doesn't mean that you are not afraid, as Yuqing and the others entered the small kitchen, Hua Niang's nerves were completely tensed, and she took the wrong thing several times, which finally aroused Yuqing's suspicions, and even took advantage of Hua Niang's time to mix ingredients in the inner room, opened the stew pot and took a look.

When Yuqing found that something was wrong with the ginseng, he did not rashly notify others, but came directly to Su Peisheng, and took advantage of the fourth master's inattention, dragging Su Peisheng to the small kitchen, so that the well-informed Su Peisheng could identify the ginseng.

Su Peisheng recognized it as a dried radish when he saw it, but it was artificially carved into the shape of a mountain ginseng, which was only bad for Erfu's body, not the slightest good.

The production of Erfu was at a critical time, Yuqing was afraid that this time would make a big fuss and alarm Erfu, so after discussing with Su Peisheng, he decided to prepare another old ginseng slice for Erfu to replenish his qi, and threw the harmful things in the stew pot to the ground.

So far, this little mess at the time of production has been completely explained, and Hua Niang is even more sure that she has walked into a trap, at least Hua Niang believes that Ren Chai Tang will never sell such a fake even if it will sell old ginseng that is less than a year old.

It's just that Hua Niang, who is already a sinner, really believes what she said! Hua Niang doesn't know, but she still said the matter, because she must not let the people behind this scene silently harm people, this is also a person's dying heart is also good!

The fourth master sat on the top, listening to Hua Niang's somewhat chaotic narration, his eyebrows were twisted into a ball, but in line with the principle of preferring to believe it and not to believe it, he still wanted to check it according to what Hua Niang said, after all, the old ginseng appeared a little weird.

Hua Niang was taken by Su Peisheng to a dark room in the courtyard of the front study, and the fourth master transferred a good cook from the big kitchen, which was regarded as making up for the lack of Hua Niang in Erfu's kitchen, but this time it was not a cook, but a little eunuch from the Internal Affairs Bureau, with an innocent family background, and his parents were farmers in a suburban village.

The fourth master made the decision and asked Su Peisheng to go to the Internal Affairs Office to eliminate all the origins of the little eunuch, and sent someone to send one hundred taels of Anjia silver to the little eunuch's family, and then he took the little eunuch's stepmother and called the little eunuch to come over with the handprint.

The little eunuch is not an outsider, it is the poor boy who the original owner had helped before, as soon as he heard that he was transferred to the west courtyard by the fourth master to serve, the little eunuch was excited and didn't sleep all night, and came to greet the fourth master with dark circles under his eyes.

The fourth master looked at the little eunuch kneeling in front of him, and just briefly admonished him, and then ordered the little eunuch to go down and serve, saying that he would wait until Erfu was out of confinement, and then let Erfu change his name.

The little eunuch soon moved to the West Courtyard, and lived in the inverted room with Zhao Dezhu and Wang Shoucai, and after a few days, he had a familiar face, and his mouth seemed to be a sweet person smeared with honey, and he was diligent in helping to do things, so that the big girl Yuqing and others who were serving around Erfu also had a good impression of him.

A few days ago, Yuqing and the others didn't want to tell Erfu, but they didn't expect that the first meal made by the little eunuch was recognized by Erfu, and they even asked about the whereabouts of Hua Niang, so they told the matter secretly, which made Erfu annoyed again.

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

Erfu looked at Xiao Qi, who was sleeping sweetly next to him, frowned and thought for a while, recalled the way to protect children mentioned in a novel he had read before, and called the two grandmothers who were waiting outside in a deep voice.

"Now that the little master is less than a month, it can be said that something bad will happen when the wind blows. I am Xiao Qi's mother, naturally I don't want bad things to happen to my child, but I have limited energy alone, which requires you to be more attentive, as long as you take care of Xiao Qi, I will naturally give you a good return, but if you let Xiao Qi have any damage, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Erfu was wearing a robe, half leaning on the kang cabinet, and said in a cruel tone.

The two grandmothers hurriedly bowed and said in unison: "The slave will definitely take good care of the little master!"

"That's it, everyone will say, I don't believe in those gambling and swearing, but I also have a better way, now Xiaoqi is less than a month, it is the time to leave no one, and the children in your family are afraid that they are not big, I must also miss you mothers.

According to my meaning, why don't I be a generous master, and beg the fourth master to bring in all your children, eat and live with Xiao Qi, and use the same things, which can not only avoid your lovesickness, but also make me feel more confident in my heart. Erf never said that she had plagiarized the idea of a popular novelist, but she really felt that this method was reliable, after all, children are very important in the mother's mind.

Although the grandmother had the heart to refuse, after all, they all knew a thing or two about the things in the mansion, but they couldn't stand Erfu is master, and the fourth master was particularly fond of her, and even the status of the three grids was not as high as ordinary, and soon approached the children of the two families in the house, and cleaned up the two rooms in the east wing near the courtyard gate and gave them two children to live in.

In addition, the fourth master did not relax, according to what Hua Niang said, he found the doctor sitting in Renji Hall, and asked about what happened that day, and soon proved that what Hua Niang said was true.

In this way, Hua Niang seems to have really become a victim, although she is greedy, but she has no intention of harming others......

The fourth master handed over the matter directly to Dai Duo, and told Dai Duo to find out the root cause, so he was at ease in the mansion to accompany Erfu to recuperate.

On the tenth day after giving birth, Erf's lochia stopped, and her little face was round and her waist was bulging.

The eldest grandmother volunteered to step forward, and rubbed her big hand on Erfu's waist and abdomen, saying that this would help Erfu to restore her figure, Erfu gritted her teeth and persevered, but she had some distrust in this method in her heart, and secretly decided to wait until she was out of confinement to start doing sit-ups, and she must reshape her waist and abdomen and show off the good figure of the vest line.

On the twentieth day, Erfu felt that his waist seemed to be really thinner, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether it was a psychological effect, so he hurriedly asked Yuqing to find out a few robes before pregnancy to try on, and this time I found that although it was not as slender as the original slender waist, it was already able to fit into the original clothes, but it was slightly tight.

found a useful Erfu, immediately motivated enough, and did not feel that the big grandmother was heavy, from the original day and a half hour of the journey of suffering, to now a day and an hour, morning and evening weight loss battle.

It's August in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Qi is about to be a full moon. The fourth master originally wanted to do a good job, but Erfu felt that children couldn't afford to toss, and it was easier to hurt the children's blessings, and I still remember that in the past, in modern times, newborns always wore some old clothes, although I don't know if there is a scientific basis for this, but the customs that have been inherited for so many years are always for some reason.

It's just that the fourth master rushed down, how can it be so easy to persuade, but Erfu quickly came up with an idea, that is, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, this annual family festival, always have to be handled well, if Fujin is allowed to organize two big parties in a row, it is always a little tired.

The fourth master thought about what Erfu said, and felt that it made some sense, but he didn't insist anymore, and ordered the Ulanala clan to send posts to the homes of several brothers, and arranged two tables of meals, which was Xiao Qi's full moon wine.

On the seventh day of the eighth month, Xiao Qi wore a red gold thread embroidered double fish belly pocket, wrapped in a cotton cloak lined with red brocade muslin, and a soft fetal hair on her head, and attended the first banquet in her life in the arms of her grandmother.

Xiao Qi full-term birth, weighing five pounds and six taels, can be regarded as a white and chubby little bun, plus the confinement is well fed, the original wrinkled little face is open, pink face and red lips, black big eyes, it is very pleasing to look at.

The guests who came to congratulate were all stained with Xiao Qi's joy, and at the same time gave Xiao Qi the first pot of gold in his life, what kind of red gold and red agate peace lock, gold and jade cradle pendant and other things, it can be said that it was rich overnight, and it is not an exaggeration!

At the full moon ceremony, the newborn should take a bath and shave the fetal hair, at three o'clock, the big mother hugged Xiao Qi, and there was a copper basin full of warm water on the table, and the copper basin was a gift from each province and a peace pendant put in by Erfu himself, and began to bathe Xiao Qi.

The warm water fell on Xiao Qi's white and tender little buttocks, but Xiao Qi not only didn't cry, but laughed with a smile, a pair of small hands waved in the air, so that everyone who came to watch the ceremony couldn't help but praise Xiao Qi for being blessed.

Although he didn't cry, the laughter was like a ringing basin, and after a simple wash, the eldest grandmother wrapped Xiao Qi tightly again, and escorted Xiao Qi back to the west courtyard with the grandmother.

As early as when the fourth master went to greet the brothers, Erfu instructed Yuqing to prepare a large bucket of hot water, let Yulan take a loofah ball, take a big bath, and wash the long hair that was already full of head oil and incense, put on a rose-red muslin shirt, and sat on the edge of the bed refreshed, enjoying the autumn scenery outside.
