The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Master Xue went to Baoqingtang for consultation, but Daiyu still listened to Xiang dialect.This day, Xiangyu came to Lin's house to play every day, and when he mentioned the medical clinic, he said a little angrily: "Yu'er, you are the smartest, guess who told about our medical clinic yesterday?"

Daiyu laughed when she heard this: "I'm not a god who can pinch and count, and Liu Lang's medical skills are superb, and there are countless people who come to see a doctor. How can I guess this?"

Xiangyu said again: "You know this person on the left and right. He was a guest at your sister's Shangshu's mansion and met him in Dongcheng."

The words are so clear, not to mention that Daiyu guessed it, Su Lan also guessed it.Su Lan said: "I saw that the boy surnamed Xue only has flesh but no brain, but he doesn't look sick. What's wrong with him?"

Xiang Yu smiled and said: "It's not him, that man is his father. It is said that he used to be a fat man, but now he has lost a lot of weight. He was taking medicine from the imperial doctor Hu of the imperial hospital, but for some reason he suddenly came to our house to ask my father for consultation. It's also fortunate that he came in person, the doctor is a parent, my father will not drive people out. If his family sends someone to invite, my father will definitely not go. "

Daiyu laughed and said, "Why, the doctor still picks patients?"

Xiangyu said: "Generally, you don't pick them, but when the Jiangnan private salt case first broke out, Xue Patriarch took his family property and hid in the capital. It can be seen that he has something to do with the private salt case. If it weren't for these profiteers and Zhen Yingjia's collusion, my uncle The family will not be separated from each other, and our family will not have to abandon our ancestral property to go to Beijing. If his family still arrogantly asks his father to come to see a doctor, his father will not go. But since he is looking for the door, my father will never turn away the patient Besides, fortunately Patriarch Xue and Miss Xue are polite, they are not as domineering as the Young Master Xue they met on the street that day, and they have a good attitude when they come to see a doctor."

When talking about the past of the private salt case, Su Lan was the one who reacted the most. It can be said that the Su family was ruined because of this.Seeing the grief and indignation on Su Lan's face, Daiyu reached out to shake Su Lan's hand.

Su Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Yu'er doesn't need to comfort me, the Zhen family has already suffered a fiasco, and the revenge will be avenged. I know to look forward. The future will eventually get better day by day."

Su Lan could think about it, it was the best, so Daiyu didn't mention this matter any more, which only made Su Lan sad.Changing the topic slightly, he said: "Fortunately, he knows that he will seek Uncle Liu for consultation. If he continues to stay in Imperial Physician Wang for consultation and treatment, his life may be in danger."

As soon as this remark came out, all the sisters were shocked, but after getting along with each other for a long time, the sisters also knew that Daiyu would not go after the target indiscriminately.

I only listened to the Xiangyu explanation: "Patriarch Xue does have some minor illnesses, but none of them are extremely fatal. The main illness is just diabetes. This illness is rare among poor people, but it is not uncommon among rich and noble families. Tai Hospital The imperial physicians should be familiar with this disease, how can the imperial physicians in dignified imperial hospitals not know the treatment method? Knowing the treatment method, in fact, the medicine is the same wherever you take it. "

Daiyu smiled slightly, and asked Xiangyu, "According to Uncle Liu's judgment, is Patriarch Xue's diabetes severe or mild?"

Xiangyu said: "My father said that Patriarch Xue's diabetes is already very serious. If he can't take care of it, his life is indeed in danger."

Diabetes is diabetes in future generations.If it is left to later generations, insulin can be used to control the disease. As long as the blood sugar level is stabilized within the normal range, this disease is rarely directly life-threatening.But in ancient times, there was no therapy of injecting artificial insulin, and the disease could only be adjusted by diet and paying attention to rest.If the blood sugar level fluctuates greatly, it may indeed bring life danger.

As for Patriarch Xue's diabetes, he was in Jiangnan in his previous life, so he didn't know what kind of doctor Xue Patriarch met; but the doctor Hu he met in this life is a master who will do anything for money.Moreover, his medical skills are not very good. In his previous life, he was the one who misdiagnosed the abortion of Second Sister You.

Of course, Jiao Daiyu said that Imperial Physician Hu may not be so mediocre in medical skills that he cannot tell whether Second Sister You is pregnant or menstrual irregularity; but if it is not a misdiagnosis, or intentional, then Imperial Physician Hu's character is worrying.

Seeing that the sisters didn't understand what she said just now, Daiyu explained: "After the fall of the Wang family, how can the Xue family have the right way to hire an imperial physician? Since there is no way, it must be a small way hired with a lot of money. Consult the chief physician of the Xue family Since the imperial doctor paid a lot of money to see the doctor, it can be seen that he is greedy for money. And if the imperial doctor wants to occupy this cash cow for a long time, he will not be able to cure Patriarch Xue's illness. For a disease such as diabetes, not only the right medicine must be prescribed, but the most important thing is to It is better to pay attention to diet and take good care of your health, otherwise, you will take the right medicine and your condition will only get worse day by day.

It’s just that diabetes is considered a chronic disease. Although it occurs frequently, such as thirst, weakness, and weakened vision, it is difficult for patients to judge whether their illness is gaining weight or losing weight because they have been troubled by the disease for many years.Even if the doctor Hu's medicine doesn't work, Patriarch Xue may not be able to judge it.But this thirst attack often occurs, and I don't know which time it will be life-threatening.

Therefore, the Xue family suddenly changed their minds and went to Baoqingtang for medical treatment, which was beneficial and harmless to Patriarch Xue.Uncle Liu is excellent in both medical skills and medical ethics.As long as Patriarch Xue's illness is treated, he will do his best. "

After hearing what Daiyu said, the girls sighed secretly that Daiyu could always read people's hearts.

It is Xiang dialect: "Father often said that to study medicine, you must first cultivate morality, and to cultivate morality you must correct your heart. I didn't expect that there would be such people who disregard human life for the sake of profit in Taiyuan Hospital."

A few people chatted a few words about Patriarch Xue's illness, and then a concierge brought a little servant over.Since someone came from the palace, the sisters didn't dare to neglect, so they asked the servant why they came.

The servant said: "This servant is Luo Yuan, who works next to the seventh young prince in the East Palace. He came here today to deliver a letter for our young prince. The young prince said that Huaiyang cuisine is famous all over the world, but the restaurants in the capital are not doing well. Yes, I heard that the cook at Lin Shangshu's mansion was brought from Yangzhou, and tomorrow I want to eat authentic Huaiyang cuisine at the mansion."

The girls were all taken aback when they heard this.Situ Zhuo is a dignified grandson after all, how could he be so rude when he came to a courtier's house for dinner, and even ordered food.Only Daiyu vaguely guessed Situ Zhuo's intentions.

Of course, speaking of it, Situ Zhuo and Daiyu were cousins, and it was only natural for the nephew to eat at his uncle's house.

Daiyu told Jia Min about this, and when Jia Min heard about it, she frowned and said, "The little prince came to our house and ordered to eat Huaiyang cuisine, why didn't Yuer postpone it for a few days? Although there are a few cooks in our house, The big dish is well done, but it will take several days just to prepare the ingredients and make the soup, the little prince is coming tomorrow, how can there be time?"

Daiyu laughed and said: "The little prince said to eat Huaiyang cuisine, so we just prepare Huaiyang cuisine, and we don't necessarily have to have big dishes." As he spoke, he winked at Jia Min playfully.

Seeing her daughter's sly look, Jia Min knew that her daughter was always upright, so she also smiled and said, "Then Yu'er can just make arrangements."

Daiyu agreed, and said: "Since Young Master Zhuo is coming tomorrow, Mr. Liu must also be coming with me. I just sent a message to Sister Xiangyu, and I will invite her to come tomorrow."

Jia Min only nodded and said yes, and let Daiyu make arrangements.

Daiyu arranged meals suitable for everyone in the family as usual, but added a few Huaiyang dishes that were not bothersome, and ordered a few more Shandong dishes. After drawing up the menu, she asked Qiuyue to hand it over to the kitchen steward.

The next day, Situ Zhuo came quite early, and it turned out that Liu Xianglian came together.Because Lin Ruhai was in the yamen, there was only one table in Jia Min's courtyard. Jia Min, Lin You, Situ Zhuo and Liu Xianglian were at the same table; the sisters and Xiangyu ate in Daiyu's courtyard.

Daiyu also specially sent Xueyan to serve Jia Min, and said: "Today, when my mother is entertaining guests in the yard, please pay attention to me. If the little prince likes to eat Huaiyang dishes, you don't have to come back and forth with me. There are more Lu dishes, so come and tell me."

Xueyan has been with Daiyu for a long time, knowing that her girl must have a purpose in such an order, so she complies.

Because the capital of this dynasty was in the north, Shandong cuisine was the main dish for the court.Situ Zhuo said that he came to try Huaiyang cuisine, but after all, he grew up in the imperial palace, so palace cuisine is more suitable for his appetite. He only tried a few chopsticks of Huaiyang cuisine, and then mainly ate Lu cuisine.When Xueyan saw it, she thought to herself: The girl really knows everything well, but since the little prince didn't come here to eat Huaiyang cuisine, what is he doing here?

When Xueyan came back, Daiyu had finished her meal, and the sisters were talking.Seeing Xueyan coming in, Daiyu stood up and said to her sisters, "I'll leave the meeting for now. Sister Lan and Sister Yinglian will entertain the guests for me." She took Xueyan to the courtyard.

Xueyan said: "As the girl expected, the young prince seems to like Lu cuisine more."

After hearing this, Daiyu nodded and said, "You have worked hard serving there for half a day. Let's go eat first. I call your favorite dish|Chunshan saved it for you. It should be still hot now." The geese should have gone.

Su Lan knew that Daiyu had her own ideas, so she invited Xueyan to ask a question, but if she had something to say that would not be heard by others, Su Lan invited the sisters to talk in her room.Daiyu took Chunshan to the garden for a walk.Daiyu sat on a stone bench next to a rhododendron tree, and just after taking a rest, Situ Zhuo came over with his servant Luo Yuan.

Daiyu knew that Situ Zhuo must have something to say when he came today, and it was not convenient to send a letter in writing, so she sat calmly and did not leave.

Situ Zhuo asked Luo Yuan to guard at a place a little far away, and he came over by himself at the stone table, sat opposite to Daiyu, and asked, "What is Miss Lin doing?" Then he raised his head and said to Chunshan, "Today I ate at the mansion. Good food, I'm a little thirsty, please ask this sister to fetch me a cup of tea."

Chunshan glanced at Daiyu, who nodded and said, "Go, the little prince wants tea, we must not neglect."

Chun Shan should have gone to pour tea, but Situ Zhuo was not in a hurry to say anything else, he just said: "The bookkeeping reform made by Lin Shangshu before made a big fuss, and I also read the reformed account books, I really think that The method is very good, but I don’t know why it was so obstructive at the beginning. Tell me, some old officials in the court are too stubborn.”

Daiyu knew that her father's bookkeeping reform was based on the table bookkeeping method she used in Lin's family. If she was a traveler, she would be able to tell at a glance that the book's prototype was an excel form.Situ Zhuo talked about this topic as soon as he came, is he fighting with himself?

But the bookkeeping reform was done by his father, how could Situ Zhuo be sure that the time traveler of the Lin family was himself?If the line is right or wrong, isn't Situ Zhuo afraid that he will be confused?

So Daiyu acted as if she didn't understand, and said: "If the young prince wants to know about the reform of bookkeeping, he should come back when his father rests, or go to the household department to ask. How can you tell me this?" Pause for a while , Daiyu smiled narrowly: "Is the Huaiyang cuisine delicious today?"

Situ Zhuo was originally here to deal with very serious matters, but when he saw Daiyu's smile, he was suddenly stunned. The eyes, bright and mischievous with wisdom, were somewhat familiar.

Daiyu saw Situ Zhuo's expression, but for a moment she was not sure what kind of mentality the other party was holding to test her, so she was also slightly on guard.

Speaking of Huaiyang cuisine, Situ Zhuo thought of the Shandong dishes on the table today.I grew up in the palace and was used to eating court dishes, those few dishes were obviously prepared for me.Xiao Xiao has prepared both kinds of dishes, and then he can see which one he likes to eat, so he can know whether he is here today, whether it is Tete's meal or something else.

Therefore, Situ Zhuo was even more sure that the Lin family also had a time traveler, and this time traveler was very smart, and he was the one who arranged today's meals.

Of course, if Situ Zhuo wants to hide his identity, he only needs to pretend that he loves Huaiyang cuisine, and the Lin family's Huaiyang cuisine is really delicious.But Situ Zhuo's recent visits were intended to show his sincerity, so there was no need for that.

"The Huaiyang cuisine in Lin Shangshu's mansion is naturally delicious. If you are free in the future, if I come again, Miss Lin, please don't get bored with me." After talking about Huaiyang cuisine, Situ Zhuo was stubborn again. Bring the topic back to bookkeeping reform.Situ Zhuo continued: "I read the new account book of the Ministry of Accounts, and it is clearly organized and clear at a glance. It is also very convenient to check in the future. Just ask me to look at it. There seems to be room for improvement in this account book."

Daiyu's expression remained unchanged, she tilted her head to look at Situ Zhuo, and said, "If there is an improvement, why didn't the little prince tell my father?"

Situ Zhuo saw that Daiyu still refused to accept the offer, and thought to himself: I am here to be honest about my identity today, so I should show my sincerity.The two were testing each other, and Chun Shan came with tea.

Situ Zhuo finally took a sip from the teacup and said, "Good tea."

Daiyu said indifferently: "It's as long as the little prince likes it."

But Daiyu was also interested in hearing what Situ Zhuo had to say, and she became somewhat sincere, so she said to Chun Shan, "You guys go shopping, I'm here to listen to the little prince's tea ceremony."

Generally, when the master says this, the maids will know that it is something the master wants to say in order for the servants to listen.Daiyu is over eight years old, but this is only in the courtyard, not indoors, so there is no need to avoid suspicion like that.And the servant of the little prince is also standing in the distance, the girl is not considered alone when talking to the young prince like this.

Besides, the girl is also in charge of family affairs, maybe the little prince came with some news, so Chunshan dismissed the nearby lady-in-law, and stood in an open place a little far away.He won't disturb the girl's conversation, and he can also see Situ Zhuo's actions.

Situ Zhuo looked around and saw that the servants were avoiding the distance where ordinary people could hear him talking to Daiyu, so he said in a slightly lower voice: "I think that if the numbers in Lin Shangshu's account book were more concise, it would be more accurate. alright."

He dipped his finger in the tea again, wrote a string of Arabic numerals on the stone table, wrote the word 'crossing', and pointed at himself.

This is an admission that he is a time traveler, which is full of sincerity.Daiyu had already guessed that it was Situ Zhuo's origin, but she joked: "The little prince won't call my father's uncle now?"

In fact, Situ Zhuo has a calm and capable temperament, not like that glib temperament. Seeing that there is no one else around, he said solemnly: "In front of outsiders, I naturally want to appear closer to Master Shangshu. , It is also convenient to communicate with each other.”

After hearing this, Daiyu nodded and said, "You can trust me?"

Daiyu admitted that she understood Situ Zhuo's words about time travel, and also understood Arabic numerals.In other words, Daiyu admitted her identity as a time traveler.

Situ Zhuo suddenly realized: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. I'm not afraid of Miss Lin's jokes. At the beginning, I thought it was Lin Shangshu who had a good fortune, but I didn't expect it to be a girl. So how old was Miss Lin when she turned against the wind? Six years old? Really? Admirable."

Daiyu said sternly, "How are you sure it's me?" Situ Zhuo first admitted that he was a time traveler, and his sincerity in forming an alliance is enough, but whether to form an alliance depends on whether the other party has enough wisdom.Allies with insufficient wisdom, no matter how powerful they are, will only succeed more than fail, and in the end they will be nothing more than a drag.

Besides, Situ Zhuo was still too early to open his mansion, so he didn't have much power in his hands now.

However, if Situ Zhuo had enough wisdom, Daiyu would be happy to form an alliance.Those who are smart enough will eventually become stronger day by day.

Situ Zhuo smiled nicely, and said: "After Brother Yu fell into the water and was rescued, I knew that there must be someone in Lin Shangshu's house with extraordinary backgrounds. It was reported that it was Miss Lin who rescued Brother You. I didn't guess at that time. It turned out that this high-ranking person with a history was a girl. Later, Lin Shangshu's method of reminding Donggong in the form of a letter from his family was amazing. I thought that he could come up with such a clever way of reminding him. My lord Tanhua's background is very suitable.

Later, Master Lin's series of ruling methods in Jiangnan were very efficient and stable.At that time, I felt that if you were a time traveler, you would be virtuous and foolish, and you might not have the means like Mr. Lin to cope with the muddy water like Jiangnan, and finally retreat completely.I even think that if the complicated and unpredictable pattern of Jiangnan is placed in front of a traverser, even if he has read the original work, he may not be able to resist Zhen Yingjia.So, I once thought that Master Lin was reborn. "

After hearing this, Daiyu nodded and said, "It certainly makes sense, so why didn't the young prince directly discuss it with my father?"

Situ Zhuo continued: "After Miss Lin came to Beijing, I inquired about Miss Lin's physical condition, but this didn't explain anything. If Mrs. Lin is indeed a reborn person, he would naturally take care of Miss Lin's body. But I met her in Dongcheng the other day. Miss Lin, Miss Lin's pity for the poor and the weak makes me think that Miss Lin may be the same as me, but comes from a later life."

Daiyu smiled slightly. It seems that Situ Zhuo is a person with clear thinking and strict logic, and he is full of sincerity in cooperation. Daiyu said, "The little prince is here today, do you have any news for me?"

Situ Zhuo said: "The peonies in Duke Cheng'en's mansion are very good. There is a peony banquet every year. If you go, beware of water waves."

Daiyu let out an 'oh', and looked up at Situ Zhuo: "The little prince thinks there is something wrong with Shui Lan?"

Situ Zhuo said: "More than two years ago, when the second prince was in full swing, Shui Lan originally wanted to discuss marriage with the second son of the second prince's family. Later, it was reported that Shui Lan was not in good health, and the matter was left alone. Not only that , Shui Lan suddenly went to accompany the thirteenth princess to read. Not long after, something happened to Iron Net Mountain, and Miss Lin must have known about it. As for the second prince who was deprived of his post, Zhen Guifei was demoted, and Zhen Yingjia was exiled. These are all important matters in the court, and almost no one cares about the trivial matter of Shui Lan's failure to discuss marriage, but I think Shui Lan is too unpredictable."

"Then the young prince thinks, what's wrong with Shui Lan?" Daiyu asked.

Situ Zhuo said softly but firmly: "I think Shui Lan is a reborn."

Daiyu naturally knew that Shui Lan was a reborn person, but as a time traveler, Situ Zhuo couldn't clearly know the exact year when the prince's bad deeds happened, let alone the Ninth Prince who later proclaimed himself emperor. His identity shows that Situ Zhuo is indeed a thoughtful person.

"About the marriage between Shui Lan and the second prince's second son, can the young prince elaborate more?" Daiyu asked.

Situ Zhuo said: "I don't know much, I just know that at the beginning the two families were going to negotiate, and suddenly it was reported that Shui Lan was not healthy, and then Zhen Guifei and the second imperial concubine didn't mention it.

After hearing this, Daiyu understood: the second son of the second prince's family was born noble, and Shui Lan is the daughter of Wang's concubine with a different surname. On the surface, the two families will not hurt their peace when discussing relatives, and there will be no such thing as regretting the marriage. Embarrassed.But judging from the process described by Situ Zhuo, it should be the second emperor who rejected the marriage. As for Shui Lan's bad reputation, how did it spread?Since Shui Lan refuses to marry into the second prince's mansion, she can naturally spread the word by herself.

Even if this happened later, the wealthy family would inevitably have some speculations, and most of them would think that the second prince's mansion broke their promise when they heard that the girl was not in good health, so they couldn't say anything about the Beijing Palace.Of course, rumors that the marriage was rejected due to poor health will have an impact on Shui Lan's reputation, but at least, the Beijing Palace will not offend the royal family because of the refusal.

Daiyu smiled and said: "It seems that Shui Lan is not stupid, but his intelligence is limited." After a short pause, he continued: "Thank you for reminding me, little prince, I will be careful."

As a modern person, Situ Zhuo naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with talking privately with Daiyu, but he also understood the principle of going to the country and following the country, and he didn't want to stay longer after he conveyed what he was about to say, so he got up and said, "I'm just asking you in vain. Again, with Miss Lin's intelligence, even if I don't remind her, Shui Lan shouldn't be able to count on her."

After finishing speaking, Situ Zhuo waved to Luo Yuan, and then said to Daiyu: "The Huaiyang cuisine in the house is really delicious, thank you Miss Lin for the hospitality. I will go and bid farewell to Mrs. Lin."
