Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

back to the main courtyard

Lin Ruhai was resting, Daiyu sat down in the outer room, Liulan came to serve tea in person, Daiyu hurriedly got up and said, "Just let the little girl do these small things, how can I be worthy of sister Liulan to serve tea?"

Liu Lan smiled and said: "That's nothing to be ashamed of. Aunt Qin said that the girl wants to read the prescription, so I found it out for the girl." Then, she took out a dozen prescriptions and handed them to Daiyu, saying: "These are all I have put away all the prescriptions that the master has used since his illness worsened."

Daiyu took the prescription and said, "Sister Liu Lan is really careful." She looked carefully at each one, and found nothing wrong - of course she is only an amateur, if she can easily see what's wrong, the doctor will be fine. It's time to close down

Daiyu handed the prescription to Xueyan to put away, and said to Liu Lan: "I'll take this prescription home and make a copy, and I'll return it to you tomorrow."

Liu Lan hurriedly said: "Just take it, girl" and then said: "It's almost time for dinner, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look" and backed away

After a while, Lin Ruhai was gone, so Daiyu ordered the kitchen to prepare the food. After Lin Ruhai took care of it, the food was just delivered to Daiyu. The soup made from duck and ground bone skin can nourish yin and moisten lungs, cool blood and relieve cough

After lunch quietly, the father and daughter chatted for more than half an hour, and Daiyu went back to her room.

After returning home, Daiyu copied over a dozen prescriptions, called Shan Shan over, and asked, "Where is your father on duty now?"

Shan Shan said: "My father used to take care of going out with the master, but now that the master is not going out, my father is free. Do you have any orders for the girl?"

Daiyu said: "Give him these dozen prescriptions quietly, and let him find an excuse to go out and find a good doctor—except for the one who sees the master, and let the doctor see if there is anything in the dozen prescriptions." question?"

Coral blinked and wondered, "How can there be a problem with the prescription?"

Daiyu said: "Anyway, you can let your father ask." Then he said to Zijuan beside him, "Go and get some silver for his father to go out and take the car."

Zijuan went to find hundreds of dollars and five taels of silver, handed it to Shan Shan and said, "The hundreds of dollars are for the car ride, and the silver is for the doctor."

Shan Shan hurriedly declined and said: "How can I use so much money, these few hundred dollars are enough."

Zijuan said: "Girl, if you have other things to trouble your father to do in the future, wouldn't it be troublesome to take the money again and again, so I will give it all at once."

Seeing Daiyu nodding her head, Coral just took it, put the prescription in her bosom, and ran to the outer courtyard

Zijuan asked: "How can the girl suspect that there is something wrong with the prescription?"

Daiyu said: "Just in case, my father has been ill for a long time, it's better to be careful."

Zijuan took out a bottle of medicine and said, "Don't think about that, just take the medicine first." After that, he poured out a pill and handed it to Daiyu, and poured another cup of warm water and put it on the table

Daiyu sighed, "When will this ginseng Yangrong pill be finished?"

Zijuan laughed and said: "There are more than a dozen pills in this bottle, but before the arrival, the old lady ordered to make more pills to take with me. I'm afraid it's enough to last for several months."

Daiyu started to practice calligraphy after taking the medicine. It's strange to say that although she didn't write brush calligraphy much in her previous life, her writing is very good now, just like her body's instinctive reaction

After practicing a few big characters, Coral came back, swept the snow off her body on the porch outside the house, and then came in and said to Daiyu: "My father has gone out with the prescription, and he said that he can call the girl today."

Daiyu said, "It's really hard work for him to have such a heavy snowfall."

The fourth warehouse

After dinner, Shan Hu's father, Song Chunsheng, returned home, and the news he brought back was that there were no problems with more than a dozen prescriptions, and they were all lung disease prescriptions that ordinary doctors would prescribe.

Daiyu was a little surprised when she heard this. Is this legendary famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River only of this level? If he only has the skills of an ordinary doctor, isn’t it a charlatan? The famous doctors of this era are helpless against tuberculosis, or is he just prescribing random prescriptions to fool him? people?

This famous doctor is not a doctor who was familiar with in the mansion before, it is better to find out about him first

After thinking about it, Daiyu called Shan Shan and said: "Let your father find a few reliable servants to guard this doctor's clinic from tomorrow onwards, guard the front and back doors, and let your father take my few Find a good doctor for the prescription and ask if it can be used on tuberculosis patients.” Then, she got up and went to Xili’s study to write a few prescriptions—all of which were tried after she got lung cancer in her previous life. It was prescribed by the most famous old Chinese doctor in the country at that time, and the medical skills had been developed for hundreds of years at that time, maybe the prescription would be better

Coral took the prescription and dried the ink carefully, folded it and put it away

Here Shanhu went to the second gate to ask the woman who guarded the gate to ask her father to come over and explain what Daiyu had ordered, and then Song Chunsheng went home to see Nanny Song and told her about it, and Nanny Song listened But I think it's just a child who is suspicious and messing around, but it's just that she is the only seedling of the master, so she can do whatever she wants. She said to Song Chunsheng, "I will tell the master tomorrow morning. If the master agrees, I will send someone to the outer court to pay for it." You pass the word and you go again"

Only then did Song Chunsheng put his heart back into his stomach, and smiled at Nanny Song: "Miss is not very old, but she has no skills. If it is true that she finds out that she is ugly, I will also make a great contribution."

In the early morning of the next day, Nanny Song remembered what Song Chunsheng said, and entered the mansion early in the morning. Lin Ruhai just woke up, so she hurriedly told him what Daiyu ordered yesterday

Lin Ruhai was surprised when she heard this. Although her daughter is young, she has a lot of talent. She already knew this. This time she came back from Kyoto and her personality has become lively and cheerful. She is not as sensitive and melancholy as before. She thought it was because someone loves and plays with her at her grandmother's house. Because of this, now it seems that I can't see through my daughter

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and said, "Let her go, let Chunsheng find a few smart ones, and don't let anyone find out."

Nanny Song obeyed the order and went to the outer court to deliver a message without mentioning

Since then, four servants have been transferred from the outer courtyard to guard the front and back doors of the famous doctor's clinic day and night.

Daiyu didn't know that Lin Ruhai knew about this matter, and she was complacent thinking that she was acting in secret

After more than ten days like this, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the whole house is cleaned up and down. Daiyu got an unexpected New Year's gift a few days ago. There was no discrepancy between the real object and the accounting records. At this time, Daiyu was accompanying, so Lin Ruhai asked Nanny Song to accompany Daiyu to the warehouse to choose some exquisite and playful things.

The warehouse is a large open hall with five rooms, and the door is covered with iron. The two women who guarded the door saw that Nanny Song and Miss Song had come, so they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and opened the door to accompany the two of them in.

The five halls are full, except for a lot of furniture, there are many boxes and cages. Nanny Song said: "Girl, if you want to find something, look for the box with delicate and interesting things to open."

One of the women wondered: "If you say that there are toys, but they are all the ones that the young lady played with when she was young. The others are just daily furnishings, various clothes and jewelry from the wife."

Daiyu said: "Since that's the case, I'll slowly see that Nanny Song must be busy with the New Year, so she doesn't have to stay with me."

Nanny Song said with a smile: "The Chinese New Year is only one day away, and I have to go around to check it out, so I'm leaving first."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Nanny Song."

The two women who looked after the storeroom had no extra money, so they were busy flattering the young master this time. Besides, they heard that the young master was generous, and everyone in the house said that she was good and served her well. Maybe there will be a reward

One was busy opening the box, and the other said: "Miss, those things that she played with when she was a child are all kept well, and they are taken out every year to dry and wipe clean, and there is no damage at all."

Four or five boxes and cages have been opened over there, and Daiyu can't help but click her tongue inwardly. There are too many toys here, and they can actually hold five big boxes. Traditional Chinese toys such as cloth tigers, little lions, small wooden horses, rabbits, etc. are decorative, all in different sizes, and there are also nine chains and jigsaw puzzles, each of which is more than one. There is a modern jigsaw puzzle that is similar to but more complicated. It looked like a gossip picture, Daiyu took a closer look, and a woman hurriedly took it out carefully and handed it to Daiyu. Said: "Take it back to play later" and continued to watch

A box was full of dolls. In addition to the Chinese dolls with small buns and big red jackets, there were even foreign children with blond hair and blue eyes. Daiyu couldn't help being very interested when she saw it. The foreign doll excitedly said: "Girl, do you remember this? This is so fun, it can move by itself." After that, he twisted the spring on the back of the doll a few times, and put it on the box beside it , that doll turned into a magic trick after performing a Western-style salute. All the people present were amazed, and Zicuckoo praised: "This is really a rare thing."

A woman said: "I heard that this Western thing was given to the master by a foreigner I met back then, and it is not available in the market."

Seeing Shan Shan's reluctance to part with the wind-up doll, Daiyu said: "Take it back and play with it slowly, I'm afraid you'll get tired of it if you play it a few more times."

Shan Shan hurriedly bowed to Dai Yu after hearing this, and happily hugged the doll in her arms

When I looked again, there was a small and exquisite birdcage in the box, which did not look like a real birdcage. When I picked it up and looked closely, there was indeed a spring on the base.

Jing Jing smiled and said, "Girl didn't like the blond-haired and green-eyed doll very much before, but I like this cage of bird sounds the most, and I listen to it several times a day."

After Daiyu wound up the clockwork, she saw two birds singing while turning their heads. There was also the sound of music similar to a music box. The butterfly on the branch beside it was about to fly away. The whole birdcage was exquisite and lovely. favorite music box
