Chapter 1352 Preparing to Leave Beijing 9
When you meet someone who knows what’s good, you can naturally raise your price.
Therefore, Jin Laoqi was also very straightforward and took out the things he had prepared, including porcelain, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and ornaments. "These are either from the palace or the homes of princes. During the war years, I survived many house searches and saved them. Now I am old and I don’t know how many days I can live. What’s the point of keeping them in my hands?"
At this point, he laughed at himself, "What I brought out is more valuable than what Qiao San brought out. I don't want a penny from you. I just want food, at least 300 kilograms of fine grains!"
"We don't have that much at the moment." Lu Jiang said, he only brought more than 100 kilograms of fine grains in total.
"It's okay. You can take the things first. As for the food, you can send it to me tomorrow, or send it to me later. I'm not in a hurry." Jin Laoqi was particularly free and easy. "The monthly food supply is not enough for me to eat, and most of it is coarse grains. Fine grains are not available except during festivals, and even if you see them, you can't grab them. Give me some first so that I can fill my stomach."
Lu Jiang nodded and agreed. "We have your address, and we can send it to you monthly. Right now, we really can't get that much food, but we can give you 120 kilograms of food and some bacon, sausage, and peanut oil."
"Okay!" When he heard that there were bacon, sausage and peanut oil, Jin Laoqi agreed without hesitation.
Jin Laoqi was stunned and looked at them for a moment, "You are Han Chinese, right?"

Jin Laoqi nodded, "Let's not talk about the late Qing Dynasty, which was a mess. Before and after the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the Manchus and the Han people did not intermarry. However, there are precedents. Manchu princesses can be given the names of Han officials and then married to Han people. This does not violate the rule that the Manchus and the Han people do not intermarry, and it can also promote friendship between the Manchus and the Han people. One of our ancestors married in this way. I think her surname was Lu. She was very favored, but her family had long been in decline and had not been rich for more than three generations. I don't know where they ended up."
"Yes, you want to say that Manchus and Han people cannot intermarry, right?" Feng Qingxue said with a smile.
Watching them packing and collecting things, Feng Qingxue pulled out the ivory mat, rolled it up and held it in her arms, and said boredly, "Seventh Master Jin, I heard from Third Master Qiao that your ancestor was a prince during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. Which prince? Let me tell you, my ancestor's old lady was a princess from a prince's mansion during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. So you two are somewhat related."
Hearing this, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue looked at each other.
The transaction is completed and each party receives the goods.
No way?
Feng Qingxue just said it casually, but she actually met a relative who was separated by who knows how many generations?
Jin Laoqi couldn't see the couple's expressions, so he asked with great interest, "Which princess did your ancestors marry? If she was from a Beile mansion, she should have a title. If she was favored and was born to a legitimate wife, she might have been given a title of Duoluo Gege. If she was not favored or was born to a concubine, that would be another matter."
Lu Jiang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I just remember that she was a princess."
They knew but couldn't say it, they didn't want to discuss marriage with Jin Laoqi.
"What's your last name then? The old lady your ancestors married means you are the legitimate descendant." Jin Laoqi has been alone in his life and has no other relatives. He is determined to get to the bottom of it. "Maybe we are relatives."
