Survive in the world of Red Mansions

Lin Hai looked at Dr. Zhang who was taking Jia Min's pulse. Dr. Zhang looked up at himself and shook his head.

"Mrs. Zun originally hurt her body because of the childbirth a few years ago. If you take more care, it will be fine if you don't worry too much, but Mrs. Zun is too tired and hurt your body. It was caused by a little bit of cold during the day, and the old man can only prescribe some medicines for recuperation, sir, it is better to prepare early!"

"I understand, Doctor Zhang wants you to worry more!"

Then he ordered the housekeeper to let someone follow Dr. Zhang to get the medicine.

Lin Hai looked at Jia Min who was sleeping on the bed, his thoughts flew to nowhere, he just sat beside him in a daze.

"Master, the medicine is ready."

Dong Xue walked in carefully with the medicine in hand, and Lin Hai was awakened by Dong Xue's voice.

Lin Hai looked at Jia Min on the bed, and thought that if Lin Ruhai was still here, he would be very sad to see Jia Min seriously ill now, instead of being like himself now, he would feel a sense of relaxation?

Ever since I came to this world, because I knew that I came to the world of the Red Chamber and that Rongguo Mansion would be ransacked one day, I have been thinking about how to stay away from the Jia family. Now Jia Min is right on my mind. ?

The servants who went to the capital to give gifts have not yet returned to Yangzhou. Jia Min is now seriously ill, and Lin Hai asked the housekeeper to arrange for someone to report to the Rongguo Mansion.

The daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng, looked at the gift list sent by the Lin family in Yangzhou in her hand, and felt a little bit bitter. In the past, every New Year's day, my aunt Jia Min would bring generous gifts. In addition to the things for the old lady, the good medicinal materials in the festival , Jade ornaments and so on are all top-notch, and they can just be transferred to some honorable family friends of the Rongguo Mansion as a gift, which saves the mansion a lot of expenses.

However, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, there has been little change except for the gift to the old lady, and there are some local specialties from the south of the Yangtze River for the mansion, and there are basically no other expensive rituals.

Rongguo Mansion's return gifts to the Lin family adhered to the usual good habit, "Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles, the gift is light and the affection is heavy."I don't know if Aunt Min is finally dissatisfied, or if Aunt Lin has an opinion and learned the way of Rongguo Mansion.

Fang Ping'er, Wang Xifeng's companion, walked in, saw his master in this state, and asked, "Second Mistress, what's wrong, she didn't say anything while holding a list?"

"Hey, look at the New Year's gift from Yangzhou. Except for the old lady, the rest are some food, silk, and local products from Jiangnan. In the past, my aunt gave Yangzhou some gifts in return. I didn't expect the New Year's gift now. The same is true.

The annual ceremonies of several palaces are not ready yet, so my good aunt knows to let me find a way. The lack of a few things in the Mid-Autumn Festival last time was because I found a few good things from the dowry to deal with them. This time I don’t know what to do. manage? "

"The housekeeper has money to make money, and the second grandma's housekeeper has to subsidize it. How can this work in the long run, or the second grandma will push this job off?"

"Look at sister-in-law and wife, if I don't care where we stand up and down in this house? Forget it, later you meet Laiwang and urge him to collect this month's interest as soon as possible. Come up, let’s deal with this level first.”

Although it was already the end of the year and every family was busy, Jia Min was bedridden almost every day, and he was worried about the affairs of the house, and he didn't have much energy to deal with them.

This time, the Yao family not only sent the Lin family a New Year's gift early, but also a female gentleman along with the New Year's gift.

This female gentleman's surname is Qiu, and she is also a young lady from a scholarly family. Unfortunately, when she was engaged to get married, her fiancé's mother died of illness.When Miss Qiu's parents were still alive, it was fine. After her parents passed away, Miss Qiu's life was a little sad.The two sister-in-laws are not very kind people, and the elder brothers' careers are not going well, so they always take some anger on her, not to blame her for food and clothing, but the gossip of the servants in the house, the neglect of the servants makes Qiu The day of the lady is getting more and more difficult.She herself is very good at learning chess, piano, calligraphy and painting. When she was going to marry her eldest son and grandson, all the directors of the family learned well. Later, with the help of her best friend back then, she went to someone else's house to be a female husband.The female students she taught were all good, and gradually gained some reputation.

Originally, a female gentleman came to the mansion, and the hostess should see it, but now Jia Min is lying on the bed, and it is difficult to get up, let alone meet the guests, but the people sent by the Yao family told him that his master made a special confession. Let Mr. Lin meet this lady for an interview.

When Lin Hai walked into the side hall, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing a gray skirt and jacket, covered with a royal blue plain-faced silk beanie, with only a jasper hairpin stuck in her head, and seeing Lin Hai standing up, she felt blessed salute.Mr. Qiu gave Lin Hai a good first impression. Although he was dressed in simple and plain clothes, he was very pleasing to the eye, and he behaved neither humble nor overbearing.

"Master Lin, be well!"

"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Lin is very grateful for letting Mr. come to Yangzhou all the way in the cold winter months!"

"Master Lin is very polite. I was entrusted to go south this time. If Master Lin is willing, I will stay. If not, there is no defense."

"I don't know who entrusted Mr. Qiu to come to our residence? Wasn't it my uncle Yao Hanlin's entrustment?"

"I was entrusted by the fourth prince, Prince Yicheng, to come to your mansion to teach my daughter." Mr. Qiu didn't turn a corner, and directly mentioned the person who was entrusted later.

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, because Lin Hai knew that the Fourth Prince Li Min would ascend to the throne after seeing the Dream of the Red Chamber, but from Lin Ruhai's memory and what he learned in the past few months, he knew that the Fourth Prince was really a very low-key person, and he himself His mother's family is not obvious, and the current wife's family, Yue's family, is also an inconspicuous third-rank rites left servant. I work behind the prince. Although my ability to handle affairs is good, in the eyes of many people, it is still not enough.

Being able to send him a female gentleman through the hands of the Yao family, the Yao family is also the fourth prince's faction, it seems that this is determined to win him over.

Lin Hai thought for a while before saying: "Then I would like to thank Prince Yicheng for his kindness first. Since my wife is seriously ill, I don't have much energy to teach my daughter. I hope that the husband will not only teach my daughter to read, but also let her learn some things about being a director, a human relationship contacts."

Seeing that Mr. Qiu should be about forty years old, if Lin Daiyu can provide her with retirement, it would be a good choice for her to follow Lin Daiyu all the time.

Lin Hai continued to say:

"My daughter is 5 years old this year, and she needs long-term guidance from her husband. I don't know if it's inconvenient for my husband to let my daughter study with you all the time. How about the Lin family who will be responsible for the affairs of my husband after a hundred years?"

Mr. Qiu thought that he was also 38 years old, and it would be nice if he could live in the Lin family for the rest of his life. It would be better than going back to his mother's house to see his sister-in-law's face, so he simply replied:

"Then thank you, Mr. Lin."

"How about Mr. Qiu meeting the little girl first?"

It happened that Qiushuang, the big maid next to Jia Min, brought Lin Daiyu over. Lin Hai introduced to Mr. Qiu, "Mr. Qiu, this is the little girl."

Turning to Lin Daiyu again, she said, "Daiyu has come to see Mr. Qiu."

Immediately next to her, a little maid handed a teacup to Daiyu, asking Lin Daiyu to pay her respects as a teacher.

Lin Hai ordered Qiushuang to arrange the residence of Mr. Paiqiu and the accompanying maids, and said a few words to Lin Daiyu, and finally asked Mr. Qiu to teach Lin Daiyu more before leaving.
