[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

In the hot summer, the scorching sun scorched the bluestone corridor outside the main house of Rongxi Hall, making it almost impossible to stand.

The servants all hid under the eaves to avoid the sun.

The two little maids who were in charge of guarding the door, hid in the shade under the main door and fell asleep, almost fell down several times.

One of them was sleepy, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright and dazzling corner of the clothes in the corridor, and woke up immediately, and hurriedly pushed the other: "Wake up, Second Mistress Lian is here!"

The words "Second Grandma Lian" are as deterrent to the servants of the Rongguo Mansion as a wolf has come.

Sure enough, after listening to these four words, another dozing little maid stood up "嗖", and the two rushed forward to greet her.

I saw that Lian's second grandmother didn't give them a reward from the corner of her eyes, and went straight to the east ear room.

That's Mrs. Wang's living place. Jin Chuan'er has already lifted the curtain at the door, and she's there smiling.

It wasn't until the curtain came down that the back of Second Mistress Lian couldn't be seen at all, and the two little maids dared to look up, and they showed each other a smile with lingering fears, and then they got together and whispered: "How can Second Mistress Lian look like this in such a hot day?" coming?"

Wang Xifeng also wanted to ask this question.

When Mrs. Wang told her to go to Rongxi Hall immediately, Wang Xifeng was a little surprised: on such a hot day, aunt told her to go there now?

She thought hard: Did she do something wrong recently?

Using this piecemeal method to suppress and raise points is exactly what Mrs. Wang often does when she is angry.

After entering the door, Wang Xifeng obediently called her aunt, and then quietly stood aside, waiting for Mrs. Wang to speak.

"Brother Feng, sister Lin from your aunt's family is going to Beijing, do you know the news?"

Wang Xifeng immediately understood why Mrs. Wang was upset.

It turned out that it was because of Miss Lin's visit to Beijing.

Let's say that Lin Daiyu, Miss Lin, is the daughter of Jia Min, the only direct daughter of Shi Taijun in Rongguo Mansion, and the granddaughter of Jia's mother.

Three years ago, when the aunt passed away, Mother Jia wanted to bring her granddaughter to Beijing to be educated immediately, and Aunt Lin agreed.Unexpectedly, news came from Gusu later that the uncle wanted to keep the girl by his side, and he would enter Beijing after three years of mourning.

Although Jia's mother was not happy, but Mrs. Lin was his real father, Jia's mother had to agree.

Now that the three-year filial piety period has passed, no, Mother Jia immediately sent someone to pick up Miss Lin in Gusu, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Lin in person: I only know that Daiyu is getting older, and now she is 11 years old. Naturally, we have to talk about marriage.The Zanying family said that "the eldest daughter lost her mother" is a taboo, fearing that without her mother's upbringing, the bride would not be able to manage the house in the future.

As a grandmother, Jia's mother is fulfilling the responsibility of this upbringing.No matter how good Lin Ruhai's father is, he is still a man.

It is so reasonable, Master Lin really agreed this time.I replied that I would send my old servant to send my daughter to Beijing in the near future, and ask my mother-in-law to raise her.

When Jia Mu got this letter, she was naturally looking forward to it with joy.I called Wang Xifeng over yesterday to discuss about Miss Lin's residence after her arrival.

In order to please Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng naturally racked her brains and came up with many ideas.

She made Jia's mother happy yesterday, and she is still very proud.Today, Mrs. Wang called me over and asked me this question, and I finally realized: This is my brother's love and my sister-in-law's dissatisfaction!Mrs. Wang must be unhappy with the idea I came up with yesterday, no, call me over to bask in the sun at noon!

So Wang Xifeng accompanied her carefully and said: "Auntie, the old lady mentioned Miss Lin yesterday, and she really missed her very much. That's why I followed the old lady's wishes and put Miss Lin in the green gauze closet in the old lady's house. Don't worry, auntie, when the old lady gets hot after a while, she will naturally move Miss Lin out."

Mrs. Wang held the teacup and smiled slightly: "So that's the reason, I thought you lost your head - Baoyu still lives in the old lady's courtyard. Although Baoyu has moved out of the old lady's house after she was ten years old , but after all they are still in Rongqing Hall, so it is better for the cousins ​​to be separated."

Wang Xifeng regrets it now.

Yesterday, she was quick-talking and only obedient in front of the old lady, so why did she forget that Mrs. Wang had a heart-to-heart relationship with her aunt and the Lin family for decades.

Now that Miss Lin is going to come to Rongguo Mansion, she is under the eaves. Madam Wang is afraid that she is still waiting for this junior to bow her head. Church.

Wang Xifeng even had a toothache.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the quiet Wang Xifeng was a little flustered.

Suddenly she remembered something, and said hastily: "Auntie, although I messed up and got it wrong, it's not impossible to undo it."

Mrs. Wang made a question with her nose.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Yesterday the old lady asked Baoyu to read Uncle Lin's letter, and I was listening beside her. It is said that there is not only one girl who came back to our house."

Mrs. Wang was really puzzled this time: "More than one girl? I never heard that my aunt has other daughters."

Lin Ruhai has a prosperous official position, so he is naturally a smart person, so he wouldn't do such a stupid thing as sending concubine daughters to Jia's mansion.

Wang Xifeng explained: "It's not my aunt's daughter, but a girl from a side branch of the Lin family. My aunt also knows that the Lin family is a five-generation lord, and the eldest house has been passed down in a single line these years. Grandpa still has two brothers. Now the bloodline is farther away."

"It's just that the Lin family is not more prosperous than our Jia family's Wang family. Naturally, the collaterals also act like serious relatives. The father of that girl Lin is a well-known wealthy businessman in the south. Overseas business, the wife at home died early, and this one daughter couldn't take care of her, so I sent her to Mrs. Lin's house on the pretext of love."

Wang Xifeng lowered her voice and said: "Listening to the meaning in Master Lin's letter, this girl was enlightened by a divine monk when she was young, and she was gifted with excellent medical skills. She is also famous in Gusu. Sister Lin is weaker, and Master Lin I just want the two girls to go to Beijing together, so it can be regarded as taking care of each other."

Mrs. Wang sneered: "A little girl's family, where did she come from with excellent medical skills? That's right, although the south is richer, it's no better than the emperor's feet in the capital. You don't see imperial doctors, so I don't know there are good doctors."

After finishing speaking, he frowned again: "Master Lin doesn't see anyone else, does he treat our Rongguo Mansion as a charitable hall? Even the girls from the collateral line will be sent here."

Wang Xifengjing waited for Mrs. Wang to finish complaining.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Mrs. Wang asked instead: "What if there is one more girl?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Auntie thinks about it, Sister Lin and Baoyu are cousins, and it would make sense if they lived together in Rongqingtang. But that Miss Lin who is a side branch has nothing to do with our family, so naturally she can't live in it." Rongqingtang, I met Baoyu when I looked up and looked down."

"As for Sister Lin, I heard that she is weak, so she was exhausted after traveling all the way by boat. She needs to be recuperated. She should live with the doctor." Wang Xifeng saw that Madam Wang's eyebrows were gradually relaxing, so she stepped forward and pressed the massage for Madam Wang. Shoulder: "At that time, I will move out of Rongqing Hall."

"Don't worry, aunt. I'm going to clean up a few houses outside Rongqing Hall. When the time comes, I'll invite that Miss Lin to stay. The old lady came to me and told me that the old lady couldn't keep Sister Lin for two days, so I took her out of Rongqing Hall." Send it out."

Mrs. Wang nodded and smiled: "That's right. If you think about her frailty, she naturally followed her mother. She came all the way and was not acclimatized. How could there be no problems with her body?"

Wang Xifeng paused slightly, lowered her head, and didn't dare to answer again.
