Red Mansions Counterattack Raiders

Lin Ruhai told the housekeeper that these were distinguished guests from Beijing, and asked the housekeeper to make arrangements for them, and then accompanied them to have a meal. When they returned to the study, they realized that their underwear was soaked through!He felt that he had never been so calm when he grew up. Under the pressure of the imperial power, he was forced to become an acting school!

Lin Ruhai took out the secret decree and read it carefully again. The emperor asked him to secretly investigate the corruption of officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and report the truth here. As for the family problems he was worried about, Imperial Physician Wang was sent to stay in the Lin family.Lin Ruhai felt that the thin piece of paper in his hand was extremely hot. He thought that the emperor was easy to talk to, and he agreed as soon as he resigned. Who knew that he was waiting here, turning him from an official into a spy!

What are the benefits of doing things secretly for the emperor?Lin Ruhai didn't think it was true at all, it's not a joke to accompany a king like a tiger!But he has no choice at this time, the emperor's order is hard to break, he has to do this risky job, and he has to do it well!Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai put away the secret decree, got up and walked to the innermost part of the bookshelf, took away two dusty books and tentatively turned the small disc hidden underneath.

A landscape painting hanging on the wall next to it made a slight sound. Lin Ruhai hurried over to open the scroll and saw the dense grid behind it. The dense grid was not too big, and there were only two booklets and a few letters on it.Lin Ruhai opened it to have a look, then found a box, put all the secret decrees of the same emperor into the box and hid them again, restored the secret grid to its original state, and then lay down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, the original owner had been an official for many years and got some tricks from other officials. It would save a lot of effort for him to investigate now.

Lin Ruhai wiped his face, turned over and covered himself with the quilt. Hypnotism was only an elective course for him, and he succeeded in hypnotizing his classmates. However, the officials were said to be complicated and vigilant, so they didn't know if it would succeed.But he can't think of other ways for the time being, so let's deal with it like this first, and he didn't say the delivery date anyway.He was thinking over and over again how to complete the task, and fell asleep without knowing it, and it was dawn when he opened his eyes again. Thinking of the three guards still living in the guest room, Lin Ruhai immediately got up to wash, and went to talk to them. Meet.

The three guards did not return to the capital right away after eating breakfast, but they mentioned Lin Ruhai's family with concern, "My lord, these years, my lord has served the court with all my heart, and the emperor is really worried after learning about the situation of your lord's family. Make a diagnosis for your family and make sure your family is well, so I can report back to the emperor to make him feel at ease."

Lin Ruhai lowered his eyes and didn't meet his gaze, then smiled gratefully, and cupped his hands towards the capital, "The emperor takes care of everything every day, and he still cares about his ministers. Zhuo Jing and his son and daughter often fell ill, and I was very worried, and read a lot of medical books, but I still can't be regarded as a doctor, so I ask the doctor Wang to give me some advice."

"It's easy to say, easy to talk." Wang Taiyi still seemed easy to talk, but Lin Ruhai felt that he was the person the emperor put by his side to watch, and he didn't dare to take it lightly for a moment.

After a while, Mo Ju had invited Jia Min and the two children to the side hall, Jia Min was sitting behind the gauze curtain, frowning in confusion, and asked Mo Ju, "Where did the master invite the doctor? Wasn’t Dr. Li, the best doctor in the city, here to see a doctor before? Could it be that this doctor is better than Dr. Li?”

Mo Ju respectfully poured tea and put it in her hand, then lowered her head and replied: "I don't know, but the master is very polite to this Doctor Wang, he should be very good at medicine."

Jia Min glanced at her, knowing that she couldn't tell the truth, impatiently waved her hand to let her back down first, then turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Did you send it to Jingli Xinke?"

"Return to Madam, it has been sent out, I think there will be a reply from the old lady soon, Madam don't need to worry too much, just take care of yourself."

"How can I not be worried? The master suddenly made such a decision and I have no idea. I can only ask my mother for help. Alas, I just hope that my mother can save one or two things."

Mammy hesitated for a while and persuaded: "Ma'am, don't be cold-faced when you see the master later. It is not a good thing that the master will not enter the backyard for a long time."

"Hmph, the master won't tell me about such a big matter. It's obvious that he doesn't like me anymore. Could it be that I still want to get close to him?" Jia Min rubbed the veil unwillingly, wanting to win back the master gently. Xin, who knows that the master resigned without a word. Although she is not that kind of vain girl, the gap is still too great. Even the second brother wants to climb up. What is her master thinking!

Lin Daiyu sat obediently on the side and looked at Lin Jin. Lin Jin was playing with his own hands and feet. The two of them couldn't hear what their mother was whispering, but they were sensitive to her mother's concern, and both remained silent.

Lin Ruhai exchanged pleasantries with several guards, and when he heard that the arrangements had been made, he sincerely asked Imperial Physician Wang to come over to check the pulse of several people. In any case, the presence of an imperial physician would be an extra layer of protection for the future misery of the Lin family. You can also steal a teacher.

Lin Ruhai led Imperial Physician Wang into the door, and when he saw Lin Jin, he smiled and hugged him, "Brother Jin, do you recognize Daddy?"

Lin Jin, who was two and a half years old, was as thin as a one-year-old child. He raised his head and smiled at Lin Ruhai, "Father——"

"Hey! Brother Jin is so good," Lin Ruhai hugged Brother Jin and introduced to Jia Min, "Ma'am, this is Dr. Wang, a miracle doctor I have worked so hard to hire. His medical skills are so superb that few people in the world can match him. Doctor Wang, behind the veil is Zhuojing, these are my sons and daughters."

Both Jia Min and Lin Daiyu stood up and blessed, "I have seen Doctor Wang."

Physician Wang hurriedly replied, "Ma'am, Miss, you are welcome."

Lin Ruhai invited a few people to sit down, and said with a smile: "Madam, Doctor Wang has promised me to stay in the mansion temporarily and help take care of our family of four. It’s a bit bitter, taking medicine every day at such a young age is really embarrassing for them.”

Jia Min frowned and looked at the nanny next to her. The nanny shook her head in doubt. She had never heard of Dr. Wang.Seeing that Jia Min didn't make a sound, Lin Ruhai didn't care, so he handed Lin Jin in his arms forward, "Please ask Doctor Wang to check the baby's pulse first, the baby was born prematurely, and he was born a little thin. Two times of wind and cold, I drank a lot of bitter soup, I saw that he could not swallow the medicine, so I found two remedies from medical books, and now he looks much better, Doctor Wang, how is it?"

Physician Wang was a little surprised. He didn't expect this adult to dare to do it. He pulled Lin Jin's slender wrist to feel the pulse silently, and then teased Lin Jin to check his eyes and mouth. Frowning, he said: "Lord Lin, you let me live in the mansion to take care of your family. I don't agree with you. Premature babies are difficult to raise. If you don't take care of them carefully, it will be a disaster. The young master's body... ...If you want to stand still, you must be very careful in the future, and you can't leave people around you day and night, I will prescribe a prescription for the young master to take, and we will see the situation in half a month."

Lin Ruhai also knew about the child's condition, but he couldn't prescribe a good prescription. After hearing what Wang Taiji said, he nodded quickly and said, "Doctor Wang, is there anything I should pay attention to when it comes to eating? Can you make some medicinal food for Brother Jin?" Can you also adjust the conditioning while eating?"

Physician Wang stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "When Mr. Lin said that, I also remembered a few medicinal recipes, which are very good."

Lin Ruhai asked Lin Daiyu to come over and sit next to her, and asked Imperial Physician Wang to check her pulse, "Doctor Wang, I think my daughter has weak Qi and blood deficiency, her lungs are weak, and her heart is stagnant, making it difficult to sleep at night. Is there a cure for this disease?"

Physician Wang glanced at Lin Ruhai with raised eyebrows, and nodded in agreement, "Master Lin's diagnosis is good, but Ling Ai is suffering from this disease. It's just that this insufficient disease is extremely difficult to treat. I don't know if it will work. I can only use some good ones." The medicine nourishes the body."

Lin Ruhai sighed, patted Daiyu's head helplessly, and smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, Yu'er, Daddy will concentrate on studying medical books in the future, and one day he will be able to completely heal your body."

Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, Daddy, my daughter is much better than before."

Lin Ruhai patted her hand reassuringly, and looked at Jia Min behind the gauze curtain.Imperial Physician Wang smiled and said, "I don't know if Mrs. Lin has checked Mrs. Lin's pulse? What is the disease?"

Lin Ruhai was embarrassed for a moment, handed Lin Jin to Wei Zi, and stepped forward to check Jia Min's pulse, "I was busy handing over official duties, but I haven't checked my wife's pulse yet. Ma'am, I am studying medicine now. Your Excellency is willing to give me advice, so let me take your pulse first."

Jia Min had been listening to them in a daze, but now she couldn't help but ask again, "Master, are you studying medicine? Are you resigning to study medicine?"

Lin Ruhai's face sank, and he shouted in a low voice: "You don't understand the affairs of the officialdom, so don't mention it again. I study medicine for the sake of my family, and the health of Yu'er and Brother Jin really worries me. If I know something, I can feel at ease. Heart."

"My lord, you—"

"Ma'am, let's check your pulse first. Your complexion has gotten worse recently, so don't delay the treatment." Lin Ruhai interrupted her, staring at Jia Min through the gauze curtain.

Jia Min pursed her lips and calmed down. Knowing that she had lost her composure in front of outsiders, she hurriedly stretched out her wrist to put it away, but her heart was still churning. There are doctors everywhere. How could someone resign to study medicine?What can I learn from studying medicine at my age?

Lin Ruhai calmed down and felt Jia Min's pulse carefully. After a long while, he withdrew his hand and frowned: "My wife's pulse... I'm in a bad mood, and I'm overthinking, I'm afraid... Doctor Wang, please take a closer look." .”

Physician Wang calmly took Jia Min's pulse, shook his head and sighed: "Mrs. Lin's health is really bad, she should stay in bed and rest, think less and rest more, after another year of recuperation, she should improve."

Lin Ruhai frowned and shouted at the nanny: "Madam's body is like this, how come no one comes to report it?"

The nanny hurriedly knelt down and confessed, "It's the old slave's fault, and I should have reported it to the master long ago. It's just that the wife thinks that the master is busy with work recently, so she doesn't want to disturb the master with such things."

"Why is it difficult for Madam to rest? This matter is no small matter. If you are not careful, you may lose your lifespan." Lin Ruhai hated people who did not cherish life the most. Seeing Jia Min like this, his anger rose in his heart.

Jia Min replied nonchalantly: "I don't feel any discomfort at all, the house must be taken care of up and down, master don't need to worry, I have been using ginseng nourishing pills all the time, if there is any discomfort , will go to rest."

Mammy hurriedly interjected: "Master, Madam is also helping Master to share his worries, so that Master doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the house."

Lin Ruhai sneered when he thought of the mess in the mansion when he first came here. If he really wanted to share his worries, why would he come to him and cry on purpose?He said to Jia Min: "Madam has a heart, but your body is more important, and it must not be like this in the future. The family affairs are temporarily handed over to the housekeeper. Madam can take care of her body with peace of mind."

Jia Min got anxious and stood up all of a sudden, "Master, I really don't feel any discomfort in my body."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand, "Let's talk about this after the matter. Today I have Dr. Wang. Let's go to the front flower hall to have a cup of tea. I still have something I don't understand and I want to ask Mr. Wang." There is a lot to say, so we can only discuss it again.

Physician Wang tactfully got up and left with him. When he saw the three guards, he confessed the condition of Jia Min and the three of them. The leader of the guards glanced at Lin Ruhai, feeling a little surprised.The emperor originally suspected that Lin Ruhai knew something and resigned in order to save his life, so he sent a few of them to spy on him. He didn't expect that the Lin family was really weak, and even Lin Ruhai was really studying medicine. It really makes them admire, but the admiration is all admiration, the emperor's secret decree still has to be fulfilled.

The guard looked outside, got up and said: "Master Lin, it's getting late, I have to hurry back to Beijing, so I won't stay. Doctor Wang's medical skills are superb, and with him here, I think Mrs. Madam, the girl, and the young master are all good." Healed up, I hope Master Lin will complete the emperor's instructions as soon as possible, thank you Master Lin for your hard work."

"It's all what I should do. It's hard work for adults to go back and forth."

"I'm just following the emperor's order and doing my best, I dare not do it."

Several people exchanged some polite words, Lin Ruhai and Wang Taiyi sent the three guards out of the mansion together, and watched them leave on horseback.Lin Ruhai tried to be as friendly as possible to Doctor Wang, and said with a smile: "The housekeeper has cleaned up the new residence, and we will be moving there in two days. What does Doctor Wang like about the residence? I will tell the housekeeper to prepare it in advance."

Physician Wang waved his hand, "Your Majesty Lin, you don't have to be polite, just be at ease with your situation, as long as your residence is clean and there is a medicine garden, that's fine."

"That's easy to say," Lin Ruhai looked around and lowered his voice, "Speaking of which, although I have accepted... the order, I am no longer an official, and Imperial Physician Wang doesn't have to call himself an official, lest outsiders hear it and make trouble again, it's better than you I don't care about officialdom but only about personal relationships, how about I call you Brother Wang?"

"Alright, brother Lin's worry is very true, just like what brother Lin said."

Lin Ruhai sent Imperial Physician Wang back to the yard, then called the housekeeper and Mo Ju into the study, and asked them about the results of their investigation.They are all old people in the mansion. Even though Jia Min has been in charge of the mansion these years and many of Jia Min's companions have been replaced in the mansion, they still have their own connections. If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai's distinguished guests to arrive these two days, they would have reported it a long time ago. .The housekeeper looked at Mo Ju, Mo Ju lowered her head and didn't know what to say. Although she usually felt that Jia Min was completely different from when she first entered the door, she was a two-faced person, but she really didn't expect Jia Min to be so ruthless.

Looking at their expressions, Lin Ruhai knew that they must have found out something important, tapped the table with his fingers, and said slowly: "No matter what it is, it's okay to say, I will always know the truth."

Mo Ju closed her eyes, and said straight to the point: "My lord, this servant suspects that the three aunts are not in good health, and I'm afraid they won't be able to have any more children."

"What? Don't they have doctors come to see them every month?" Lin Ruhai looked at Mo Ju in surprise.

Mo Ju continued: "Back to the master, Aunt Fang had a miscarriage six years ago, and she was never pregnant again, but the servant girl found out that she had stopped the Bizi Tang before the wife ordered it. And Aunt Liu and Aunt Wei have both They poured out the soup in private, but none of them have conceived for many years, but Dr. Li said they were fine."

Lin Ruhai frowned, and said solemnly: "So, Doctor Li is lying? Doctor Li was bribed? He is already the doctor with the best medical skills in Yangzhou. If he has medical ethics, how could he do such a nasty thing?"

The butler stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Master, this Dr. Li...seems to have received the favor of the Rongguo Mansion."

Lin Ruhai understood this sentence. Jia Min used Dr. Li to prevent the three concubines from having children, and then used various remedies to give birth to the child. Later, Dr. Li told him that it was all right, so Jia Min gave birth to another son, but his body collapsed inside.Lin Ruhai thought for a while and asked, "If Mrs. Liu can't conceive, why did Madam ask her to ground her again?"

Wei Zi looked at Lin Ruhai, and said in a low voice, "Master, Aunt Liu told you that she had a younger sister at home, and my wife found out about it."

Lin Ruhai was even more puzzled, "What's the matter with Liu's sister, Mrs. Guan?"

"Well, Aunt Liu was often in contact with her family at that time, and she seemed to want the master to accept Aunt Liu's younger sister as a concubine, but before Aunt Liu told the master, the wife grounded Aunt Liu." Guan Yan said The family members of several aunts checked it out, and when they found out about this, they were also surprised. They didn't expect that Aunt Liu would use her younger sister as a solid favorite.

Lin Ruhai rubbed his forehead with a headache. For the first time, he was a little depressed that he was a man, and he couldn't guess what they were thinking when he came to this group of women.But seeing that Jia Min didn't care so much about his and his son's health, maybe Dr. Li didn't tell the truth to Jia Min, which made Jia Min not aware of the seriousness.After all, how could a well-behaved doctor be willing to be restrained by Jia Min?

"What else did you find out? What did the three of them, Mrs. Liu, do?"

"Master, it's been a long time, and there is no evidence for many things, but what the servants reported back was confirmed to be true after repeated investigations." The steward glanced at the other three people, then took up the conversation, telling them how many people these days are. Find out one by one.

The more Lin Ruhai heard it, the more serious his face became, and none of the four women in the backyard stopped!From the very beginning, they have been hostile to each other, and they have been stumbling each other. When Mrs. Lin was still there, the three aunts deliberately opposed Jia Min by relying on the old lady, and Jia Min never stopped drugging them secretly.Later, when Jia Min was pregnant and gave birth, the three concubines kept on playing tricks and even caused Jia Min to give birth prematurely. The weak bodies of Lin Daiyu and Lin Jin must have something to do with these things.

Which of the four women is right and who is wrong?They fight each other, but it is the children who suffer!Lin Ruhai got up and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his fists clenched tightly.There is an old mother and a wife in the family. The original owner never bothered about the backyard and did not understand women's struggles. He only hoped to have a son soon to ease the rift between the old mother and his wife, but Mrs. Lin didn't see her grandson after all.Later, Jia Min finally gave birth to a son, but this son was easy to die at first glance, how could he make the Lin family have no descendants?

Lin Ruhai didn't know if all the rich families in ancient times were so bloody, but in his eyes, there was really no one innocent except for the two children in this family.

"Just find a Zhuangzi and send the three aunts there, and let them live there for the elderly. If they want to leave, give them some money to let them go." Lin Ruhai was silent for a while and decided to send the women away. Except for his wife, there was no other way, and the three The concubine must be sent away immediately.

The housekeeper was not surprised. After all, the concubine is not the master. Murdering the mistress is a serious crime. The master will naturally deal with it. He bowed down and looked at Lin Ruhai with a serious face. Why don't you take advantage of the joy of housewarming after moving into the new house and take in two more concubines for the master?"

Lin Ruhai waved his hands uncomfortably, "No need, I have something important to do, so I don't need to mention this matter again." In ancient times, he couldn't meet women and fall in love, and he had long given up on marrying a wife, let alone he is married now person.

The butler thought of the few people who had just been sent away, and although he didn't know what was important, he kept silent.

Mo Ju looked at Lin Ruhai worriedly, and said hesitantly, "That wife..."

"After moving into the new house, Mo Ju went to serve Daiyu, and Wei Zi went to brother Jin's side. The housekeeper took care of everything in the house, and let the wife rest. Today, Dr. Wang said that if the wife doesn't rest in peace, her life might be in danger. Well, let’s do it this way. That doctor Wang is a nobleman in the capital, and he told his servants to be careful, but don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said. Also, I am no longer an official, and I don’t need too many people to serve me in the house. The former housekeeper chose some loyal ones to stay, and the rest gave money and returned the deeds of sale." After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he waved his hand to let them retreat.

"Yes, master." Several people bowed their heads in salute, and exited the study one after another.

Lin Ruhai leaned back on the chair and sighed, the words they reported were still echoing in his mind. In the eyes of a modern person, these people in the mansion seemed to be right from their respective perspectives, but they were all wrong from each other's perspective. Wrong, the last thing to do is to be ruthless in the fight for favor and hurt the children.If Mrs. Lin hadn't been so anxious back then, the original owner had only had Jia Min as his wife from the beginning to the end, and the two would have a son and a daughter. Maybe both of them would be healthy, but Mrs. Lin was dying at that time. How can we not be in a hurry?

Lin Ruhai shook his head helplessly. After all, those people are ancient people, and their ideas are also feudal ideas. They are different after all. Isn't he also forced to work for the emperor now!
