221 "Well, Aster, what do you mean?"
Cui Ju said, "What do you mean? A capable man would have three wives and four concubines. How can one wife serve them all..."
"Ah, Chrysanthemum, are you saying that the master will take a concubine in the future?"
Cui Ju said, "Of course. At our master's age, he needs a woman the most. How can a lady be enough for him?"
"Aster, you're not tempted, are you?"
The other two maids looked at Cui Ju, and Cui Ju said, "Oh, stop talking nonsense, go to sleep, go to sleep?"
"Hey, want to tell me?"
After saying that, the two maids lay down in disappointment. Yin Hongmei on the side glanced at them, turned around and took out a piece of paper from her arms, on which were written the three words: [Yin Hongmei].
"Is that my name?"
…
"Oh, Jiusi, this is your mansion. It's very grand. It seems that Zheng Chuan has spent a lot of money to build this mansion over the years. It's all a bargain for you."
Two days later at noon.
Chen Jie invited Hua Sanniang to visit his mansion.
Su Yunjin was very happy to see Hua Sanniang and they exchanged pleasantries.
Chen Jie stated the theme of this event. In the past few days, Chen Jie asked Chen Xiaohu and Zhou Chu to buy medicine, but there were a few medicines that were too expensive and difficult to buy even in the pharmacy.
Therefore, Chen Jie decided to take the black market route.
There are many more goods on the black market than in pharmacies.
Chen Jie explained the purpose of asking Hua Sanniang to come, and Hua Sanniang said, "This medicine is not difficult to buy. I can give you the lowest price in the market. Is there anything else?"
"Thank you very much, Sister Hua. By the way, Sister-in-law, I have two more herbs. See if you can buy them."
"What medicine?"
Chen Jie wrote down two medicines: [Jue Lingzi] and [500-year-old Blood Ganoderma]
Seeing these two herbs, Hua Sanniang frowned and said, "Why did you buy these two herbs? These are real treasures from heaven and earth!"
Chen Jie said: "I have a prescription that can be made into a pill with this medicine to help break through the transformation strength."
"A prescription that can break through the transformation of strength!"
Hua Sanniang sat up suddenly, and instantly became nervous: "This is a treasure!"
"How did you get it?"
Hua Sanniang asked excitedly. Chen Jie thought, I got it after sleeping, but I can't say it clearly. I just said, "I can't tell you specifically. Sister Hua, just tell me if you can find these two herbs, right?"
After hearing this, Hua Sanniang said, "Then you should keep this prescription well. If people know about it, I'm afraid even the masters of Hua Jin will have bad intentions."
Chen Jie said, "Sister Hua, is this prescription useful to you? How about I give it to you?"
Hua Sanniang glared at Chen Jie and said, "You little bastard, are you testing your sister-in-law? Keep your broken prescription. I have already absorbed the energy. I don't need your broken prescription!"
Chen Jie immediately said, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. Didn't I want to make more money for you?"
Hua Sanniang said, "Do I need money? Okay, let's get down to business. These two herbs are the herbs needed by the masters of Huajin, and they are not easy to sell. I can buy this blood ganoderma, but it must not be 500 years old, at most it is only 100 years old."
"As for the Absolute Spiritual Seed, it's something you can only come across by chance. Occasionally, some are sold. The last time it was sold was about a year ago. Oh, I remember, the last buyer seemed to be your adoptive father Peng Shizhong!"
"My godfather?"
Chen Jie was stunned, and Hua Sanniang said, "Yes, it was your adoptive father. There were two Absolute Spiritual Sonatas that appeared at that time. One was bought by Nan Batian, and the other was bought by your adoptive father."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, then I understand."
"Oh, sister-in-law, if you have any news, please keep an eye on it for me. As for the money, here are about six thousand taels. Take it first. If it's not enough, I will find a way."
Hua Sanniang asked, "Have you made a fortune?"
Chen Jie said: "I made a small fortune."
Hua Sanniang said, "There's no rush for money."
Chen Jie said, "No, Xiaohu, take someone to deliver the silver to Sister Hua's car."
"Sister-in-law, I feel safe leaving the money with you. Please help me keep an eye on it."
After hearing this, Hua Sanniang said, "Okay, I'll ask Lao Zhong to keep an eye on it when I get back. Don't waste your money."
"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law."
After seeing Hua Sanniang off, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Prepare the car!"
Xiaohu asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Baihu Hall and meet my adoptive father."
This is related to the opportunity for [Hua Ling Dan] to enter Hua Jin, Chen Jie cannot be careless and must go there immediately.
Xiaohu immediately went out to inform the groom to harness the carriage, and then took two guards to escort Chen Jie out of the Chen Mansion and head straight to Baihu Hall.
When they arrived at Baihu Hall, Chen Jie got off the car and someone outside immediately came to report.
Then the second of the Twelve Eagle Guards around Peng Shizhong came to greet Chen Jie.
The names of the Twelve Eagle Guards are very interesting. The eldest is called Eagle Da and the second is called Eagle Er.
Chen Jie and Ying Er were quite familiar with each other and greeted each other.
"Where are Uncle Fu and Eagle?"
Chen Jie asked, and Ying Er smiled and said, "Uncle Fu went to exchange gold leaves, and the eldest brother went to the Chunfeng Opera House to investigate the situation. The day after tomorrow, our Master Peng will go to listen to music."
oh.
After hearing this, Chen Jie responded.
Chen Jie knew that his adoptive father liked to listen to music. When he first came to the city, he went to listen to music.
Chen Jie is very supportive of this.
Old Peng has spent his whole life fighting for the country, so can't he just enjoy himself?
Then the music, then the dance!
…
"Godfather."
Under the guidance of Ying Er, Chen Jie entered Peng Shizhong's bedroom.
Peng Shizhong was half lying on the bed at this time, holding a book in his hand, with a bowl of medicine on the table beside him. He coughed once or twice from time to time: "Cough cough..."
Peng Shizhong's injuries had not yet healed, and he suffered the pain of losing his son, which resulted in his illness never being cured.
You can only rely on warm medicine to slowly replenish your body.
"Oh, Jiusi, ahem... sit down!"
Peng Shizhong stretched out his hand and asked Chen Jie to sit down, and Chen Jie sat down immediately after hearing that.
Peng Shizhong put down the book, looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, have you been in charge of the affairs of the hall these days? Is there anything wrong?"
Chen Jie said: "Thanks to the great help from all the brothers, everything went smoothly."
"Ahem... That's good. If anything goes wrong, tell your foster father. He can help you for a few more years."
"Thank you, godfather."
Chen Jie quickly bowed to express his gratitude, but Peng Shizhong waved his hands and said, "Ahem, what are you thanking me for? Father and son, father and son, since you call me foster father, I can't just ignore you, ahem..."
"Godfather, are you injured?"
Chen Jie said with concern.
"Nothing serious, just some damage to the heart and lungs. It will be fine after a month of recuperation. Now I just have a slight cough, nothing else wrong."
Chen Jie said: "Foster father, let me feel your pulse."
Peng Shizhong said, "Ahem... I almost forgot that you, Jiusi, also studied medicine. Okay, come and check my adoptive father's pulse."
Chen Jie stepped forward and felt the pulse, then his expression relaxed. It was just as Peng Shizhong said, there was nothing serious and he would definitely be fine after a month of recuperation.
Peng Shizhong said: "Ahem, yeah, your godfather can still lie to you. By the way, why are you here this time?"
"Oh, godfather, it's like this. I got a prescription and I need a medicine. I want to ask you if you have it."
"Medicine? What medicine?"
"[Jue Lingzi]."
"Jue Lingzi, cough cough cough… yes."
Peng Shizhong pointed in the direction of the secret room and said, "Go get it yourself. The last cabinet, the second drawer, contains the Jue Ling Zi."
"Godfather, why don't you ask me why I need this medicine?"
Chen Jie asked, and Peng Shizhong laughed and said, "Haha...you are my adopted son, and you are just asking for a medicine from your adopted father. You don't need to know what you are asking for. Go and get it."
"Thank you, foster father."
Chen Jie clasped his fists, feeling deeply moved.
After entering the secret room, Chen Jie found the cabinet and indeed found the [Jue Lingzi], who looked like a hawthorn and smelled like fruit.
After leaving the secret room, Chen Jie came back.
"Found it?"
Chen Jie said: "Found it."
"Well, that's fine. By the way, how's your recent practice of [Brick Opening Palm]?"
Chen Jie said: "There is slight progress."
"Show me your palm."
Chen Jie was about to strike when he saw Ying Er come in and say, "Master, the master is here."
Feng Xuan?
Chen Jie was stunned. At this time, Peng Shizhong said, "Oh, let him in."
