[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

On the day Lin Jiang entered the palace, the entire Rongguo Mansion was extremely disturbed.

The two wives of King Xing, Wang Xifeng, and Li Wan Sanchun all sat with Jia Mu, but Daiyu still stayed in Lanzhi Courtyard, saying that she was not feeling well and could not come to accompany her.

For Mrs. Wang, Daiyu's absence is just right.In front of Daiyu, she couldn't say some things directly.

Now there are only members of the Jia family here, so Mrs. Wang said directly: "Old lady, logically, our family can't accommodate relatives, let alone a girl, and it's enough to be raised by the girls, but it costs a few taels a month. Silver. But it must be a well-behaved relative."

"It's okay if it's an ordinary matter, but the old lady looked at Dr. Xiao Lin, and she got involved with Prince Shao's mansion on the first day she came. These days, many wives and grandmas in Beijing are making noise because of her affairs. It's obviously a girl's family. , It’s so easy to tell right from wrong! Today is even better, and I went directly to the palace.”

In fact, Mrs. Wang is not a talkative character. With Wang Xifeng in front of her, Mrs. Wang is happy to be a "quiet Bodhisattva" in everyone's eyes.At this time, I said so much in one breath, my mouth was a little dry, and I took a sip of tea before continuing.

"Where is the palace? There are nobles everywhere, if she accidentally takes a wrong step, it will be a heinous crime. If it hurts our family, what should I do!" Mrs. Wang finally concluded, pinching the handkerchief: "I didn't say, It's really inappropriate for Mrs. Lin to bring girls from the collateral line to our house."

Mrs. Xing was at odds with Mrs. Wang and wanted to fight her, but thinking about the matter involving the Tian family, Mrs. Xing dared not speak again.

Jia Mu's face was indifferent, and she said to Mrs. Wang: "How could my aunt expect such things as King Shao?" Seeing that Mrs. Wang wanted to say more, Jia Mu was also worried, and said, "Okay, saying these things is not heart-wrenching. , and it’s useless. I called you here because I wanted to talk about homely things to solve the problem.”

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to put this topic aside.

Wang Xifeng didn't dare to speak when she was around, but now Jia Mu wanted to listen to the common words to resolve her troubles, which was her strong point, so she hurriedly stood up and specially picked some interesting housekeeping things to tell Jia Mu.

Sure enough, it made Jia Mu's face better.

Seeing that Jia's mother had eased up, Mrs. Wang also brought up another family gossip.

"Old lady, there is one more thing I need to get back to you." Mrs. Wang told about Xue's family going to Beijing one by one. Of course, Mrs. Wang would not say that Xue Pan killed someone and hid in the capital screaming. disaster.She only picked good things and said: "Firstly, their mother and son will go to Beijing to take care of the business, and secondly, their daughter Baochai will be able to make a living when she grows up, and there will be grace in the palace. In the coming year, the princess and princess will be chosen as companions. This is not a big deal. The family is coming to Beijing."

Mother Jia didn't say anything, she just nodded her head.

Mrs. Xing next to her suddenly said: "Our master also knows about the fact that the Xue family is going to Beijing. It's just that the reason I heard from the master is not what my younger brothers and sisters said." Madam Xing raised her eyebrows: "I heard that the Xue family is big The young master is jealous of others, and he killed someone to avoid disaster!"

The matter of Xue Pan beating someone to death was not a secret, Mrs. Wang also expected Mrs. Xing's attack, so she wrote lightly: "It's just a child, not to mention that he would not do it himself, it's just a servant's mistake. Because This matter is not difficult to deal with, so I didn't say it out loud to the old lady, I just asked my natal brother to take care of it."

This is irritating.

Not only alluding to Mrs. Xing's 'noisy' old lady, but also taking out her own prominent natal Wang family for a walk, comparing Mrs. Xing's downtrodden Xing family, naturally, Mrs. Xing's face is dull and disheveled.

Mrs. Xing didn't get any advantage, so she shut up with hatred.

However, Mrs. Wang followed her words and continued: "Speaking of which, although Doctor Xiao Lin's father is also an imperial merchant, he is incomparable with the Xue family. There are many merchants in the world who can win the name of the imperial merchant and lead the business of the inner palace. , but the imperial merchant who was able to win the title of Ziwei Sheren from the grandpa/grandfather is only the Xue family."

Mrs. Wang kept the rest of her words silent: If it weren't for Ziwei Sheren, how could the Xue family and the Jia family be called the four major families, and how could their Wang family marry a daughter like Aunt Xue? Ordinary imperial merchants.

It's just that Mrs. Wang knows Jiamu's temper, so she dare not show off how grand the Wang family is in front of Jiamu.

Mrs. Xing was blocked by a string of officials and merchants and was speechless.It is true that her natal family has suffered a complete defeat, and there is only one elder brother left who likes to gamble and drink, not to mention that he has no power as an official, nor even the wealth of an imperial merchant.

So I had to sulk myself.

Let’s say that Mrs. Xing was sitting in agony, but she heard the sound of footsteps outside. It was Lai Da who ran into the inner courtyard again and knelt down: "Go back to the old lady, I am very happy. Just now, the servant was waiting at the gate of the palace, but I saw Ming Zheng The father-in-law of the palace personally came out and said that Dr. Xiaolin's medical skills are exquisite, and the Supreme Emperor and the emperor are very fond of him, so he directly made an exception and appointed Doctor Xiaolin as a medical officer of the fifth rank, and the salary is according to the routine of the vice-lord of the hospital!"

Lai Da breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that Dr. Xiaolin has retired from the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, and went to Mingzheng Palace to meet Shengjia, the servant was afraid that the old lady would be anxious, so he asked others to stay and wait, and come back first to tell the old lady to rest assured. !"

Lai Dacai would not entrust this kind of work of announcing the good news to others, and ran back by himself.

After he finished his report, the hall was bursting with joy and laughter.Li Wan Sanchun who didn't dare to speak because of the oppressive atmosphere just now also came up to Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, don't worry."

For a while, only Mrs. Wang stayed there.

She had just published a long article on Dr. Xiaolin's background, and she scolded Lin Jiang's background as a pure merchant by borrowing that Xue's family was a Ziwei family official.As a result, Lin Jiang himself was registered as a fifth-rank official before he finished speaking for a cup of tea!

"Hey." Mrs. Wang suddenly heard a sneer in her ear.

She turned her head and met Mrs. Xing's big face: the girls all gathered around Jia Mu to make fun of her, and Mrs. Xing was embarrassed and unwilling to make fun of her, so she came to Mrs. Wang's side and sneered in her ear.

Mrs. Wang gave her goosebumps from laughing.

Mrs. Xing heyed a few times, and then said: "Sisters and sisters, Xue Gong's Ziwei Sheren is also the old Huang Li. In front of our own family, you just say it once or twice to show it off. Wait for Doctor Xiaolin, don't you?" , it’s Imperial Doctor Xiao Lin returning home, so don’t say any more.”

Seeing Mother Jia's eyes also falling here, Mrs. Xing raised her voice: "She is a 12-year-old girl. If she hadn't been extremely skilled in medicine, how could she have won His Majesty's favor and made an exception to get an official position. Now it seems that she lives in the Our family is indeed our family's blessing, so we should stop talking about those things that are against others by our siblings, after all, Imperial Doctor Xiao Lin is a person who walks around in front of the imperial court."

Mrs. Wang was about to explain, but Mother Jia had already praised Mrs. Xing: "The eldest lady said it very well. No one is allowed to leak a single word of what you said just now! They are all real relatives, and your words are careless. It's like I can't tolerate my own family."

Mrs. Wang could only blushed and gritted her teeth to say yes.

Seeing this, Sister Feng rolled her eyes and gave Ping'er a wink behind her, who quietly backed away.

Before they came, their master and servant had discussed and agreed: if Dr. Xiaolin enters the palace without incident, he should tell Daiyu earlier to earn a favor.

After all, everyone in Rongqing Hall is happy for themselves, and their relatives who live in the house actually got the favor of a saint. For a while, who remembers to tell Daiyu who is most worried about Lin Jiang.

Wang Xifeng was really meticulous in terms of human relations, and asked Ping'er to go and take this trip for her.

Then, afraid that others would discover Ping'er and steal her chance, Wang Xifeng smiled and squeezed to the front, and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, are we rushing for Zhang Luo's family banquet now, and wait for the imperial doctor Xiaolin to come from the palace?" Come out, so that I can cleanse her up! Poor thing, no matter how good her medical skills are, she is still a young girl, and she must have been shocked by the majesty of the heavenly family when she went to the palace, so the old lady should try to comfort her."

Jia Mulian claimed that it was the case, and took Wang Xifeng to discuss the matter of the dinner.

Sister Feng watched Ping'er slip away with satisfaction.
