Qinglian in the Red Chamber

In August, Kyoto is still hot and boring.

On the water and land pier outside Chaoyang Gate, the servants of the Lin family had been waiting there early.There is no other reason, the ship of the Lin family's mistress is going to the capital today.

Lin Han beat his palm with a fan in one hand, and paced back and forth under the shade of a tree.He got the letter that Jia Min would arrive in Beijing today, so he took leave of absence from the academy, thinking of coming to pick up his mother and sister in person.

"At this time, I am really envious of your heat-resistant ability." It was Jia Lian who said this.Jia Amnesty also got Jia Min's letter early in the morning, knowing that the boat she was on was going to arrive in Beijing today, so when he knew that Lin Han was going to pick up the boat in person today, he sent Jia Lian to follow him early so that Lin Han could Help, run some errands.Jia Lian himself has always been grateful for Jia Min's care for him and Feng'er, so he was not at all unhappy to be assigned by his own father in the hot weather.

It's just that it's too hot this day, and Jia Lian is very afraid of heat, so he can only hide in his own carriage to avoid the heat. There is an ice basin in the carriage, which can bring some coolness.Even so, Jia Lian still felt that the heat was unbearable.

Lin Han heard Jia Lian say this, turned his head and smiled at him, and said: "I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. The summer there is much hotter than in the capital. I'm used to it, but not now. How unbearable it feels."

Turning around, Lin Han told Lin Ping who came with him, "Go and move two of the ice basins on our car into Lian's second cousin's car."

"Don't, your ice basin is for my aunt and cousin. They are all delicate and expensive, so it's better not to get heatstroke. Otherwise, it will be my fault." Jia Lian quickly waved her hand and declined.

"It's okay. I think my mother and the others will be here soon. It's good to have some coolness in the car. My younger sister is weak and can't stand the ice basin." Lin Han said, still called Lin Ping He took out two ice basins and put them in Jia Lian's car.

Jia Lian rubbed her hands together, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Then I'll take it."

Lin Han smiled and was about to say something.He heard Lin An bluffing at the top of his voice, saying, "Our boat has arrived!"

Lin Han hurriedly turned around and looked in the direction where Lin An pointed.

Jia Lian also quickly jumped out of the carriage, straightened her clothes, and stood side by side with Lin Han waiting.

As soon as the boat came to a stop, Lin Qing, the head steward, ran down the boat in three steps and two steps with a look of anxiety on his face.Lin Han couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and felt that something bad might happen...

Lin Qing, who had always been calm, was in a panic at this time. He hurriedly ran off the boat, ignoring Lin Han and Jia Lian's greetings, and only said to Lin Han: "Master, quickly send someone to invite the imperial physician." Waiting in the mansion. There is something wrong with the eldest girl."

Lin Han heard Lin Qing's words.His face turned pale all of a sudden, and he hurriedly sent Lin Ping to find the imperial physician, then grabbed Lin Qing's wrist, and asked Lin Qing hurriedly, "What's wrong with my sister? Why is it not good?"

Seeing Lin Han's anxious face, Jia Lian was a little messy.Busy at the side to persuade him: "It's more important for my cousin to take him back to the mansion first. If there is anything wrong, just ask slowly after you return to the mansion. Don't delay the imperial doctor's consultation."

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Lin Han regained his composure, and his expression changed somewhat. He also let go of Lin Qing, and only frowned, ordering the servants of the Lin family beside him to hurry up and help carry the luggage.

"Thank you, Second Cousin, for reminding me. I was really confused just now, and I almost missed my sister." Lin Han thanked Jia Lian.

"My brother, why don't you say thank you." Jia Lian patted Lin Han on the shoulder and said indifferently.In fact, he was really worried about that little cousin he had never met.Look at the eager look of the butler.I think the little cousin is very sick.

After a while, many maids and maids slowly got off the boat, surrounded by a beautiful lady with a sad face.

"Greetings to mother. How is mother going?" Lin Han said, saluting Jia Min.

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly saluted and said, "My nephew has seen my aunt."

Jia Min helped Lin Han up with one hand.Pull Jia Lian up with one hand.

"I'm fine, it's just Yu'er..." Jia Min choked up and said, tears almost rolled out of her beautiful eyes.

After a while, Jia Min stopped the tears, turned to look at Jia Lian again, then forced a smile, and said, "You are the second Lian, right? You look like a big brother, but you still look like a sister-in-law." More. Good boy, it's hard for you to come to pick us up in this hot weather. But, you go back first, and say hello to the old lady and your father for me. Logically, I should first I went to the mansion to meet the old lady and your parents. It's just my Yu'er, it's really not good... let me be rude for a while. When the day comes, I will take Yu'er to the old lady Make an apology to your parents."

"What is Auntie talking about? If you are in a hurry, the cousin's body is of course the most important thing. The old lady and parents are not unreasonable people. Just don't worry, Auntie." Jia Lian said, "If Auntie needs to run errands Yes, even if you ask my nephew to go, don’t be a layman. Although my nephew is a bit ignorant, he is still somewhat familiar with the boundaries of this capital.”

While the three of them were talking, several maidservants got off the boat protecting a girl.Jia Lian glanced at it from a distance, and the girl looked at her timidly and timidly, obviously she was not in a good mood.

"It's important for my aunt and cousin to get on the bus and go home quickly." Seeing that the girl wanted to be present, Jia Lian hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I'll give my aunt a ride."

Jia Min originally wanted to decline, but Jia Lian insisted: "After I send my aunt back, I can talk to the old lady and my parents. Otherwise, they won't be worried to death."

After hearing this, Jia Min gave up.

After arriving at the Lin Mansion, everyone was naturally flustered again.

As soon as the Lin family's boat arrived in Beijing, they rushed to find the imperial doctor to enter the mansion, and it was not only Jia Mu and others who were alarmed.

He Shun'er is also waiting at the water and land pier today.Brother Nine was inconvenient to show up, so he sent He Shun'er over to watch from a distance.But if there is something wrong, it is better to ask someone to help settle it in private.

So, from a distance, I heard a man in charge running down from the boat, saying that Gege of the Lin family was not doing well. Know with him.

Because of this, when Jia Min and others returned to their home, they found that the person who came to consult Daiyu was actually the judge from the left court of the Imperial Hospital, and they couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

The judge from the left courtyard gave Daiyu a pulse check carefully, and asked the people who waited on Daiyu's side about the situation along the way. After that, Nianxu pondered for a moment before carefully thinking out a prescription.

"Gege in the house is a little weak, but there is nothing serious about it. I just asked the people who served Gege, and I think it was because of seasickness and discomfort during the journey, and the heat was unbearable, so he ate too little and was too weak. The reason. Just adjust slowly in the future. Eat some light food first, and don’t overdo it. It’s the right way to go step by step. This recipe is for warming and tonic. The best policy." The judge from the left court gave detailed instructions, and the big maids around Daiyu carefully wrote them down.

Jia Min asked someone to give Zuoyuan a superior seal, and sent him away.

After Zuoyuan sentenced her to leave, Nanny Yan stepped forward to plead guilty to Jia Min: "It's all due to slaves not taking good care of Gege, please punish my wife."

Jia Min sighed, and said: "I can't blame Mama. Yu'er is always very picky. She would rather be hungry than take a bite of food that doesn't suit her taste. In the past ten days She was a little seasick on the waterway she was walking all the time. In addition, it was really hot this day, she couldn't eat, and she didn't want to eat, that was my indulgence. Now, don't blame yourself here It's important to help her take care of her well."

While talking, the two of them, Scholar and Moxiang, had already lifted up the bed curtain and hooked it up, and helped Daiyu to sit up again.Looking at her daughter's thin face, Jia Min caressed and said in distress: "My son, now that I'm home, I should at least eat some soup or something, otherwise how can my body bear it..."

"It's my daughter's fault, I'm worrying my mother." Daiyu panted slightly without saying a word.She herself didn't expect that she would be so dizzy from seasickness this time, she couldn't eat anything, she vomited after eating, and she still vomited after eating.Later, she simply didn't want to eat anything.

On the contrary, Mammy Yan tried every means to change the way of cooking food, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Even a grown-up with a healthy foundation would not be able to bear not eating rice for more than ten days, not to mention Daiyu, a little girl who has always been pampered.If it weren't for the mother Yan who has been doing her best to cultivate her with some soup and the like, Daiyu might not be able to take a step when she got off the boat just now.

Seeing that the Lin family was in a hurry, they had to arrange their luggage, and they had to arrange for the master to rest, and Daiyu was fine, so Jia Lian planned to go back and talk to the old lady and the others.

"My nephew will go back first. It's normal for my aunt and cousin to take a good rest. When the old lady is there, my nephew will go back and tell the old lady what happened. Don't worry about my aunt. Let's take care of my cousin first." Jia Lian followed Jia Min please resign.

Jia Min thanked Jia Lian again for not mentioning it, and then called Lin Han to order him to send Jia Lian off in person.

Outside the gate of Lin's house, Lin Han cupped his hands at Jia Lian, and said: "Today, Lao Lian's second cousin is bothering me. I will go to the house to bother my second cousin some other day."

"Okay. When the time comes, I'll prepare good wine for you." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian cupped his hands at Lin Han, and then rode back to Jia's mansion.
