Chapter 936 King Jiang
Outside, it was snowing heavily, and snowflakes were flying. White snowflakes floated on the glazed tiles, melted into water droplets, and then dripped along the glazed tiles into the sink under the corner of the wall.
In the flower hall, it was quiet. Two little buns were sitting upright at the kang table, tracing copybooks. Xia Zihan was sitting on the kang head sewing a small jacket. From time to time, he would look up at his two sons, his eyes full of love. I love my son's love.
Chu Meng walked in and saw the two young masters tracing the calligraphy. She didn't dare to disturb them, so she walked gently to the kang and whispered in Xia Zihan's ear, "Princess, Concubine Rong Shizi is here to buy Prince Jiang again. ”
King Ginger is a ginger that has been wild for more than 50 years. It is an excellent medicine for treating colds. However, King Ginger that is more than 50 years old on the market is expensive but not available, and you can't buy it with money.
One of the medicinal ingredients Xia Zihan prescribed for Concubine Rong Shizi was fifty-year-old ginger.
Princess Rong sent people to search for half a month but could not find this medicinal material, so she came to Xia Zihan and asked her to change it to another medicinal material.
Xia Zihan said, "It's not impossible to change the medicinal materials, but the effect will be slower. If Princess Rong doesn't mind having a grandson a few years later, I will change it to ordinary ginger."
"Do you mind? Why don't you mind? Rong San is already over 20 years old. His sons are able to ride horses. I don't know where my grandson is yet." Princess Rong immediately became furious. As she spoke, she He looked at the twins playing next to Xia Zihan with envy, "If I had such a pair of grandsons, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."
Regarding her envy, jealousy and hatred, Xia Zihan twitched the corner of her mouth and ignored it. She asked, "Princess Rong, do you want to change these medicinal materials?"
"I won't change it." When she thought about having a grandson a few years later, Princess Rong changed her mind again, "It's just that this Prince Jiang is really hard to find."
"I have it here, but you also know that this medicinal material is really rare and rare, and the price..." Xia Zihan paused deliberately and smiled softly, "I'm afraid Princess Rong is reluctant to pay for it."
Perhaps she was aroused by her words. Princess Rong gritted her teeth and said with a risk-taking attitude, "I will give up any amount of money for my grandson. Please give me a price."
"A ginger king costs five thousand taels of silver. If cut into slices, it can last for ten days." Xia Zihan didn't be polite to her and directly set the price.
The price is not low, but not high either.
You know, wild ginger is a medicinal material that is rare in a century. If she hadn't accidentally dug a nest in Wuzhi Peak this time, Princess Rong would not have been able to buy a single ginger plant even if she had searched all the pharmacies within a thousand miles. king.
"Five thousand taels of silver?" Princess Rong said awkwardly and her face changed.
Not long ago, she spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a box of jasper ointment from Xia Zihan for the scar on her daughter-in-law's forehead.
Because the injury on her daughter-in-law's forehead was caused by her, the ten thousand taels of silver were her private money, and she did not dare to tell Prince Rong.
Now, a King Ginger plant costs another 5,000 taels of silver, and it can only be eaten for ten days. If it takes two years to recuperate, how about more than 300,000 taels of silver?
Princess Rong was shocked when she thought of this number.
Prince Rong's palace has many properties and a lot of money. Various properties inside and outside can earn three to fifty thousand taels of silver a year.
However, the daughter-in-law will get 170,000 taels of silver a year for taking medicinal materials. This does not include other medicinal materials. If other medicinal materials are included, she will get 200,000 taels of silver a year and 400,000 taels of silver in two years.
The daughter-in-law took the medicinal materials for two years and ate the income of Prince Rong's palace for nearly ten years.
This amount is too big. Even if she is Princess Rong, she cannot be the master, let alone hide it from Prince Rong.
At first, she thought that if a few thousand taels of silver were enough, then she would use her private bank to help her daughter-in-law buy it. Who said her daughter-in-law was her biological niece? If her biological niece has such a disease, so does her biological family. Responsibility, she was afraid that Prince Rong would blame her mother's family, so in this matter, she was asked to be humble in front of Prince Rong. But now, it takes hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to cure my daughter-in-law's cold body. She...
Is it worth spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for a daughter-in-law?
Of course not worth it.
However, this was her biological niece. A biological niece could not have children, and she could not let Rong San divorce her. However, Prince Rong's palace had never allowed a concubine to inherit the title, even if the concubine was named in the name of his legitimate mother and became his legitimate son. Inheriting the title will not work either.
After all, even if a concubine is named in the name of his legitimate mother, he is still a concubine at heart. He has a low background and is not qualified to be the heir to Prince Rong's palace.
But this doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so what should she do?
If King Jiang eats this for two years, will the entire Prince Rong's mansion be deprived of food?
Hey...
Princess Rong hesitated and decided to buy one for her daughter-in-law. If the effect was good, she would continue to buy it. At worst, her family would have to bear part of the money.
The niece has this disease, and her mother's family is also responsible. We can't let Prince Rong's family spend all the money.
Besides, fortunately, this niece married into Prince Rong's palace. If she had married into another family and wouldn't have children, I'm afraid she would have been divorced and returned to her natal family.
She did not divorce her niece because she wanted to save face for her family. If her family was not willing to pay this little money, then she would have an excuse to let her son marry an equal wife.
As long as her son married an equal wife, it didn't matter whether her niece would have children. She could save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Princess Rong thought about it, and finally decided to buy a King Ginger plant for her niece. After all, her daughter-in-law was her biological niece, and she didn't want to embarrass her family or break up with her family unless she had to.
Chu Fei followed her back to Prince Rong's Mansion to retrieve the silver.
Perhaps it was very effective after eating it. From that day on, every ten days, Princess Rong would come to Prince An's Mansion with 5,000 taels of silver and buy a King Ginger plant from Xia Zihan.
It was snowing heavily today, and Concubine Rong's King Jiang ran out of food again. She didn't dare to take a break, so she came here in spite of the heavy snow.
Without even raising her head, Xia Zihan ordered Chu Meng, "Take her to the side hall, then go to the warehouse to get a ginger king for her, and give the banknote to Cui's mother to keep."
He didn't say he was going to see Princess Rong.
When Chu Meng heard this, she understood the meaning of the elegance and understood that the princess did not like Concubine Rong Shi and did not want to see her, so she responded in a low voice, quietly retreated to the door, and asked Chu Qiao to go down with her.
Chu Meng went to find Mother Cui, and went to the warehouse with Mother Cui to get King Jiang.
Chu Qiao led Princess Rong to the side hall and did not let her enter Yuqiong Garden.
Chu Qiao served tea for her and said, "Concubine Rong Shi, wait here for a moment. What you want will be delivered soon."
Seeing that Chu Qiao was about to step aside after finishing speaking, Princess Rong quickly asked, "Where is your princess?"
