The old lady of the Lin family in Honglou

Not long after Lin Lin came back from her morning walk, Nanny Lin said, "Ma'am, the grandma of the Jia family is here, and she will come to say hello later, Madam, do you want to take care of it?"

Lin Lin thought for a while, before going out for a walk, she walked in the room for more than half an hour, sweating all over, even though she calmed down now, she still felt a little uncomfortable, and she felt refreshed after washing, so she asked Shuya and the others to prepare Water, let Zhulan tell the young mistress to come back later.

Lin Lin redressed and adjusted her sleeves a few times, "Nurse, do you think I'm getting younger recently?"

Before Nanny Lin could say anything, Shuya rushed to say, "Madam just found out, everyone joked and laughed. Madam is in a good mood, and she is not young and beautiful now. The servants privately said that Madam will catch up soon." The young lady is gone."

Lin Lin smiled and said, "You are sweet-talking, coaxing me, how can you be so exaggerated, it just looks a little less wrinkled, how can you keep up with that age. Go and see if the young mistress is here, and hand it over. Just a word." Lin Lin looked at Nanny Lin, "Mommy, remember that today seems to be the day when the doctor came to ask for pulse, so there won't be any conflicts?"

Nanny Lin said, "Ma'am, we are the hosts, and guests can do as they please. Grandma Jia will not be ignorant of the rules. Besides, depending on the time, Grandma Jia may save lunch before going back. There is plenty of time."

Lin Lin thought that there were quite a lot of people coming to Jia's house in the past two days, and she didn't know what it had to do with the previous incident.Does the Jia family pay much attention to Jia Min?Still pay attention to Haier?If he didn't want to see the attitude of Jia's family, he wouldn't bother to meet the people of Jia's house.But Lin Lin was also a little curious about what the No. [-] tragic figure in Jia's mansion looked like. Since he came to visit, let's try to meet him.

Lin Lin looked at Jia Zhang's family carefully. Jia Zhang's clothes were not as distinctive as Jia Min's, and looked more dignified.Mrs. Jia Zhang put on very fine makeup. According to her age, she shouldn't have used so much powder to cover her skin. It could be seen that Mrs. Jia Zhang's original complexion was not very good.

Everyone greeted politely, Lin Lin listened to Mrs. Jia and Zhang praising the decoration in the hall, and echoed from time to time.Lin Lin didn't like this kind of politeness, but she didn't want to take the initiative to say anything. Lin Lin didn't know much about life in the capital.At this time, Jia Min's nanny Yang Meme came in and said something to Jia Min. After a while, Jia Min said to arrange a meal somewhere so that Lin Lin and Jia Zhang could have a good chat.

Seeing Jia Min leaving, Mrs. Jia Zhang said to Lin Lin, "Mrs. Lin, my younger sister is more favored when she is at home. She doesn't understand the twists and turns of servants. The housekeeper may be a bit lacking in thoughtfulness. I hope Madam will not mind." , study more, the younger sister will be a good head of the family. The elders in the family are very sorry when they know about those slavish things, so let me come over to express my apology. Handed Lin Lin a gift list.

Lin Lin didn't quite understand these values, so she opened it and took a look, then gave it to Nanny Lin, "The in-laws are really expensive, and that's not a big deal. Young people always need some exercise. My daughter-in-law has always been very good, go back and tell me The in-laws don’t need to worry too much. It’s not good to disturb the in-laws for such a small matter. Young people can’t cover everything. The daughter-in-law has already done a good job.” It turned out that she was afraid that she would have an opinion on Jia Min. Lin Lin wanted to suppress her husband’s Gao No one likes a daughter-in-law very much, not to mention that Jia Min really can't let go of her figure when doing things.Lin Lin asked Nanny Lin to prepare a return gift according to the gift list, and bring it with Jia Zhang when she left.

At this time Shuya came in and said that Dr. Chen had arrived.

Lin Lin said to Jia Zhang, "Unfortunately, today is the day for the doctor to ask for pulse. If Mrs. Jia doesn't mind, just wait a little bit."

Jia Zhang quickly said, "I don't mind, it's just a coincidence that I came here."

"Doctor Chen's medical skills are very good. He can treat my old illness that has been accumulated for many years. I have been tossing a lot when I was in the south. You can see how energetic I am now. I heard that the young lady has been recuperating. Wait a while. Fang also took a pulse to see what Dr. Chen said, and if he is right, he might as well feel at ease." Lin Lin suggested that Jia Zhang also take a look.

Jia Zhang was a little unnatural, but thinking of the recent physical discomfort, she nodded, "Then thank you, madam."

Since Lin Lin got better, she would invite Dr. Chen to check her pulse every few days, just because she was afraid of relapse, but she has always been fine, and this time is the same.After Dr. Chen finished reading it, Lin Lin said to Dr. Chen, "This is one of my nieces-in-law. I just came to visit this time. When the doctor came over, I would like to trouble the doctor to take the pulse of my niece and daughter-in-law."

When Dr. Chen came in, he saw the lady next to him, but the doctor only pays attention to the patient, and doesn't care about other things.Hearing Lin Lin's words, as a doctor, he must agree.Dr. Chen's medical skills are good, but because he is not very willing to go to a wealthy family to see a doctor, his reputation in the capital is so-so.Judging by the lady's attire, one can tell that her status is not simple, but I hope nothing bad will happen to her.

Dr. Chen pressed Jia Zhang's pulse for a while, and his heart became serious. As a doctor, what he fears the most is running into the privacy of a high-ranking compound, and if it happens, it means trouble for the upper body.Dr. Chen carefully distinguished, unexpectedly, he still encountered it, but after looking at the pulse, he knew that the time was not short, and he was debating whether to say it or not.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Jia Zhang didn't feel anything at first, but after a long time, he felt panicked, there must be something real.Lin Lin also felt that something was wrong, it must be Jia Zhang's trick.

Dr. Chen is a doctor after all, so he decided to speak out, and the rest is none of his business.Seeing the doctor's expression, Lin Lin felt that the matter was not simple, so she asked all the waiters to go out, and let Shuya and Lin Nanny watch outside the hall.

Jia Zhang suppressed the panic in her heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong, doctor? Please tell the truth, doctor, and don't hide it."

Dr. Chen sighed, "It was a good thing, but it is very bad for Madam. Madam is about two months pregnant. Madam is too weak to be pregnant, and Madam's body has been accumulating toxins. Basically, I have been exposed to toxins every day. One has been for no less than two years, and the other has been recent. It has been more than a month according to the pulse. If this continues, the wife can bear it for half a year at most. Even if I start to clean up now The toxin, the fetus in the body has also been affected, please forgive me for my inexperienced skills, please ask my wife to find another expert." Doctor Chen didn't want to involve too much, so he didn't want to prescribe a prescription.

Lin Lin didn't expect it to be so serious. Lin Lin believed in Dr. Chen's medical skills very much. Lin Lin also wanted to ask Dr. Chen to take the pulse of the Lin family for a long time. The matter must be kept strictly secret, so Shu Ya sent him out of the house.Turning around, I asked the butler to pay attention to Dr. Chen's movements, for fear that Dr. Chen would be affected.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was surprised when she heard that she was pregnant, but she panicked after hearing that, and didn't even notice that Dr. Chen was gone.I know I'm in poor health, I've been recuperating, and I just got better a while ago, but it happened again recently, I didn't expect that I was murdered, but why can't the imperial physicians and government physicians in the palace come out with a pulse?Could it be that the same imperial physician has been used all this time because there is something wrong with the imperial physician?Could it be that someone is instigating it?I have been exposed to toxins all the time. Could it be that someone around me betrayed me?Jia Zhang was very upset.

Seeing Jia Zhang's panic, Lin Lin asked Lin Momo to make a cup of boiled water, "Mrs. Jia, drink some water first and calm down, you shouldn't think too much about it now."

When Jiazhang came back to her senses, she realized that she had lost her composure. She took a sip of hot water, felt warmer in her heart, and gradually calmed down a lot. She saluted Lin Lin and said with a low voice, "Zhang Xian is here Thank you ma'am, if I didn't find out today, I wouldn't know how to get there, Madam's life-saving grace will be kept in my heart, in the future, if Madam needs help, please ask, as long as I can help, I will do my best."

Lin Lin felt a little sad when she heard Jia Zhang's words, Zhang Zhang was also a poor person, and the original book said Zhang died of dystocia, which is probably the child. "Isn't it just a coincidence? It's so serious as it was said there. It was a good thing, but in this way, your pregnancy will be very dangerous. Now that you know it by chance, you are not in a hurry to go back. Think about it carefully, and go back after resting in the afternoon, otherwise you don’t know how many twists and turns you will have when you go back in this state.”

Jiazhang was in a panic, where would he not agree, so he thanked him again.Because Lin Lin broke the matter, Mrs. Zhang got closer to Lin Lin in her heart, and her manner of speaking became a little more dependent.Seeing that Jiazhang's family had calmed down a lot, Lin Lin said, "Poor child, it is said that the Gaomen compound is not easy. There are only a few masters in the Duke's mansion, so you are so troubled. The mansion is so chaotic, you can't do it." Make a good plan." Lin Lin thought that if Mrs. Zhang was smart, she would mention it, and if Mrs. Zhang was around all the time, there would be someone to restrain the inner courtyard of Jia's mansion.

After listening to Lin Lin's words, Mrs. Jia Zhang burst into tears. She really wanted to vent out the grievances she had suffered in Jia's mansion, but Mrs. Zhang quickly controlled it and said helplessly, "What Ma'am said is that all these years I'm tired too, but what can I do?"

Lin Lin thought for a while, "I have a story here, do you want to listen to it?"

Jia Zhang looked at Lin Lin in surprise, and nodded when she saw that Lin Lin really wanted to talk.

Lin Lin looked outside the door, as if she was thinking about something, and said slowly, "There used to be a big family, the old lady had four sons, two of them were concubines, the old lady preferred the younger son and didn't like the older son, so she didn't like to see her by the way. The eldest daughter-in-law, the children of the eldest son are also not liked by the old lady. In order to leave all the property in the family to her son, the old lady designed to drive out all the concubines. Because of the attitude of the old lady, the young daughter-in-law thinks that the family should be It's all hers. The young daughter-in-law sterilized the big house just to fight for the family's property. Since then, the big house has no children. The big daughter-in-law is capable, so the young daughter-in-law tried her best to get rid of the big daughter-in-law In less than a year, the old lady married the eldest son a cowardly and cowardly step-sister. Not long after, the eldest son of the eldest son died of illness, and the younger son and daughter were raised in the old lady's room. The wife didn't like it, and everyone in the house ignored them, so the young master couldn't learn anything. After a long time, the eldest daughter-in-law's dowry was divided between the old lady and the young daughter-in-law. The young daughter-in-law let the young master Married his niece, and later only gave birth to a daughter, the youngest daughter was sold to a gambler, and later, the whole family belonged to the young daughter-in-law. As for what happened to the eldest daughter-in-law’s natal family, no one knows, only that the eldest daughter The daughter-in-law's family is gone."

Lin Lin spoke slowly, looking at Mrs. Zhang, "Do you think it's a pity for the eldest daughter-in-law?"

Jia Zhang's heart had just calmed down, and after hearing what Lin Lin said, it fluctuated again. Compared with her own affairs, Lin Lin felt that she was talking about herself. People wouldn't do that, but Mrs. Zhang couldn't convince herself, could she really be like that? No, Mrs. Zhang told herself desperately while rubbing her belly. Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Lin Lin and encouraged herself, "Madam, this story It's too scary, there is no such family in the world."

Lin Lin glanced at Mrs. Zhang, "For those who can't see the facts clearly, it's normal to have that kind of cause and effect."

Mrs. Jia Zhang swayed and supported the chair, "Accordingly, if that's the case, madam, what do you think the eldest daughter-in-law should do?"

Lin Lin looked at Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang looked back carefully, "If you are more ruthless, of course you will attack first, I am afraid that you can't do that. If you are more stable, why do you want to stay in that family? As long as you are willing to give up those belongings, You can jump out there, teach your children well in your own village, watch them, and push them when the time is right. As long as they are still alive, will those people be able to bear it in the end? Isn’t it just 20 years, who can Whoever survives to the end will be the end." Lin Lin hoped that Mrs. Zhang was a smart person, and if she didn't know what to do with such an obvious reminder, she would be useless.

Lin Lin saw that Jia Zhang's spirit was much worse, and sighed in her heart, "Young Madam, don't think too much, your natal family is also a big family, and I think you can find a way to help you. I think you should contact your natal family as soon as possible."

Lin Lin was too worried to see Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Zhang like this, so she had to let Mrs. Zhang go to the side room to rest.
