Chapter 486 Ginger Soup
Her parents said that Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji would not easily agree to Miss Ji's marriage. Even if she is pregnant, at least she must come to the house to propose marriage in person before they can let go.
Seeing the attitude of Tiemao speaking, he also disliked Mrs. Ping. The little maid said, "I went out to the street this morning and listened to people on the streets' discussions. They all said that Mrs. Ping, the old lady of Yuguo's Mansion, had a bad temper because she was poisoned. The Duke of Yuguo's Mansion wanted to investigate the poisoned person. As a result, Doctor Wu, who usually asked Mrs. Ping for the Ping's pulse, and the monk who was in charge of selling incense in Lingtai Temple, were all dead..."
Ji Qingning and the little maid knew about this, but what they didn't know was that the matter was spreading.
It is said that family scandals should not be made public. Mrs. Ping is the biological mother of Duke Yu. Even she has been poisoned. Moreover, after several years of poisoning, Duke Yu has no face.
Given that Duke Yu's costume was broken by Ji Huaishan before and sent Ji Huaishan to the southwest to investigate the case, Ji Qingning felt that Duke Yu's actions must have profound meaning.
After his head turned, Ji Qingning understood that Duke Yu was saving Mrs. Ping's reputation and laying the foundation for Mrs. Ping to come to the Ji family to propose marriage.
The irritable Mrs. Ping decided not to be ashamed to come to the Ji family. Now everyone knows that her irritability is caused by poison, not her nature. Now that the poison has been cured, she comes to the door to apologize. When everyone knows, they have to praise her and correct her mistakes. Mrs. Ji is not easy to hold on to her.
Furthermore, Duke Yu made this incident very popular and bet on his prestige and face. There were also two lives of Lord Wu and the monk Lingtai Temple. The case must be investigated clearly. No matter who found out that the poisoned person was, it would be handed over to the Ministry of Justice to decide.
Duke Yu wants the poisoned person to pay his life.
Lan'er continued, "Doctor Ning didn't even take the pulse for Mrs. Ping. Just look at her face and you can tell that there is something wrong. Everyone admires her very skilled medical skills. Many people regret not robbing the other two charity sales places."
Speaking of this, Ji Qingning remembered that she had sold three quotas in total. She originally thought that one quota was 10,000 taels, but she really underestimated the wealth of Kyoto people and easily bought more than 20,000 taels.
I don’t know who bought the first two quotas, and the last quotas were the dispute between the manager of Duke Yu’s Mansion and the manager of Duke Lin’s Mansion.
The manager of the Jin Linhou Mansion directly revealed his identity. With the power of the Jin Linhou Mansion, there were few civil and military officials in the court who dared to offend the Jin Linhou, so he immediately extinguished his mind.
The person in charge of Duke Yu's mansion did not want to get into evil with the Marquis of Jinlin, but the person in charge was even more afraid of Mrs. Ping, who was irritable and moody. Since he asked him to rob, he must get it.
As for money—
The second young master of Duke Yu's mansion treated him a broken leg. Doctor Ning collected 100,000 taels, but in the end he paid 30,000 taels to the third young master, that was 70,000 taels.
Mrs. Ping knew how expensive Dr. Ning’s medical expenses were. Manager Zhao thought that as long as it was not more than half, it was only 35,000 taels, Mrs. Ping would accept it.
Then the managers of the two governments bit me, and I bite you and rush to shout out the price. The managers of the Jinlin Marquis' Mansion threatened. The more threatened the managers of the people, the less afraid they were.
What's scary? The prince of the Jinlin Marquis's Mansion was hung on the city wall by their third young master. Anyway, the relationship between the two governments would not be good. Even now, he gave up the opportunity to see Doctor Ning, and the Jinlin Marquis' Mansion would not appreciate it. He would only annoy that the Duke Yu's Mansion had made them spend a lot of extra money on Jinlin Marquis' Mansion.
Manager Zhao said, "Doctor Ning has a good relationship with the Ji family. I'm afraid you don't know that even our third young master asks Dr. Ning to treat the second young master's legs, it's all good things that Master Ji said. The prince in your mansion wants to kill Master Ji. Now, why are you here to compete for Doctor Ning's medical quota?
The manager of the Jin Linhou Mansion went back to mock him, "Isn't your third young master of Duke Yu's mansion going to marry Miss Ji? It's not a matter of asking Doctor Ning to treat his illness. For the sake of the Ji family, maybe you don't have any medical treatment fees, so why are you fighting with our Jin Linhou Mansion?"
"It's still your old lady Ping of Duke Yu's mansion looks down on Miss Ji and disagrees with her for passing through the family, for fear of angering Dr. Ning. In the future, she will suffer from illness and pain. The Imperial Doctor cannot cure her. She will have to ask Dr. Ning to come to him. Then, will she stand up for Miss Ji and refuse to treat her?"
"You Duke Yu's Mansion is really far-sighted!"
The officials of the two governments fought a war of words in public, and the prices they shouted were rising steadily.
Manager Zhao shouted directly from 25,000 taels to 28,000 taels. The momentum that he was determined to win calmly suppressed the manager of the Marquis of Jinlin. He didn't know who was whispering to the side, saying, "It's better to be a entrusted mansion in Yu Guofu."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was possible, and then I gave up.
After Manager Zhao left, the manager of the Marquis of Jinlin regretted it again. He hoped that the person who had grabbed the quota before would be given to him. Perhaps because he was afraid that the Marquis of Jinlinlin would be missed, the first two buyers did not dare to reveal their true identities, and only agreed with Sihai Academy to give him a certificate when paying the money.
The Sihai Academy Library is quite large, but the ones that are really valuable are the ones in it. Fortunately, they are all backed up and just copy them.
Ji Qingning sold three opportunities for medical treatment and received 68,000 taels, which was enough to rebuild three or four library pavilions. It immediately relieved Gu Shanchang's headache. He also felt particularly sorry for Ji Qingning, a brave, resourceful, knowledgeable and talented genius who had a wrong daughter, was really a great regret in the world.
Ji Qingning was distracted on this side, while Mrs. Ping was taken by Manager Liu to see Mrs. Ji.
The rain was so heavy that even when I walked down the corridor, my skirt was still wet. When Mrs. Ping entered the house, she was so wet with her footprints, which made the maids and mothers serving in the house stunned.
Mrs. Ji was also very surprised. She didn't understand what Mrs. Ping's move was intended. She was afraid that she would definitely hire a grandson-in-law to come back and give her such a bitter plan, right?
Even when Mrs. Ping was about to come to Ji's family to propose marriage in the rain. If the Ji family didn't let go, it was too ignorant. When it was reported, everyone would only say that the Ji family was arrogant and would not stop when they saw it.
Mrs. Ping walked up, but Mrs. Ji did not get up to salute her, but only ordered the maid, "Hurry up and change it to Mrs. Ping with new shoes and socks."
Mrs. Ping lived a pampered life and only suffered a little while the lady was alive. It felt soaked in her shoes and socks. She felt that the cold air was drilling into the soles of her feet, so she did not refuse and followed the maid to the screen and change to a new pair of shoes.
When she changed her shoes, the maid brought another bowl of hot ginger soup.
