[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

After Laba, the palace became busy for the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday.Coupled with the fact that the end of the new year is approaching, the palaces and courtyards are in full swing. Lin Jiang even felt that the palace people followed the double speed, and everyone moved a lot faster.

Tai Hospital is also busier than usual: at the end of the year, the previous pulse cases will be collected, and the pulse cases of the previous year will be completely sealed in the warehouse on the first day of the new year; Inventory accounts, spot checks for discrepancies and omissions.

The most important thing is to assess the workload of the imperial physicians.

Lin Jiang was surprised to find that the Imperial Hospital also has KPIs (performance indicators). The standard evaluation divides the work of the imperial physicians into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

If this year's work is poor, not to mention the small amount of work, the nobles in the palace are still not very satisfied, and often send palace people to complain and ask for a change of imperial doctor, it will be miserable, at least the year-end rewards are not even considered.If he was inferior for three consecutive years, he would have to be demoted to become a deputy envoy.

Although the deputy envoy could not treat the master above the rank of concubine on his own, he could treat the dignitaries and the female officials and eunuchs who were often in the palaces.

So at the end of the year, the atmosphere in this hospital is also tense.

"Let me also go to the evaluation?" Lin Jiang looked at Qin Yuanzheng and shook his head: "No, sir, I am a newcomer who has only been in the hospital for less than half a year, how can I evaluate the seniors?"

Furthermore, in terms of workload, she is the last one in the hospital, okay? She doesn't even have enough working hours.

Qin Yuanzheng smiled and said: "I thought that you are from the fifth grade and have the same official regulations as the deputy of the courtyard. It's not good to call you. It's just that what you said is also reasonable. You are still young and have little qualifications. Go If you sit down and don’t oppress others, you still offend others for nothing. Then I won’t call you this year.”

Lin Jiang responded.

In fact, this is a hospital, and Qin Yuanzheng is the most angry with her. The old man can say whatever he really wants, and he has no heart other than being obsessed with medical skills.

Since there is no need to work overtime to calculate performance for others, Lin Jiang will go out of the palace at noon.

Back at Lanzhi Courtyard, she changed her official clothes into homely clothes, and went to Daiyu's room: if there was nothing special, the two of them would have dinner together.

Seeing Lin Jiang's arrival, Xueyan put her chopsticks and said, "Young lady, I don't know, our Lanzhi Hospital has received enough guests to congratulate me this morning."

"First, the second wife came and wanted our girl to send a message to Miss Yuanchun in the house when she entered the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother. It's just that our girl said that the palace dare not walk around privately, let alone pass words in private. The second wife left in a very boring way."

"Not long after, the eldest lady came again, and after congratulating her for a few words, the girl began to ask why the second wife was here just now." Xueyan couldn't help laughing when she said this.

Lin Jiang also laughed: Mrs. Xing stared at Mrs. Wang quite closely. It can be seen that although Jia She and his wife were separated to live in the large courtyard on the east side and were not allowed to live in the Rongxi Hall, their heart and eyes could not wait to squat in the Rongxi Hall all the time.

Just after the food was set, Lin Jiang and Dai Yu were about to serve when they heard someone coming outside again.

Lin Jiang was annoyed: "Who are these people? Are they here in rush for the meal? Are you still asking people to eat Ansheng rice?"

Baoshi hurriedly picked it up, but when he came back, he was very happy: "Girl, girl, it's Ping'er who said that the concierge received a letter, and it was sent back by our master!"

Lin Jiang was taken aback: From the system's father?

After taking it over and looking at it, it turned out that the words on the envelope were in standard computer cursive script — no one else could have written them except the father of the system.

Lin Jiang opened it to read the ten lines at a glance, and then said happily to Daiyu: "It's my father who came back from overseas! This letter was written and sent to the capital just after he landed in the port of Guangzhou. At the same time, he himself brought With a lot of goods departing from Guangzhou to Beijing, counting the time, it should be three or four days later than this letter!"

Daiyu also laughed: "It's really a good thing, I can see my uncle in a few days." She couldn't help but regret: "It's a pity that after Laba, there is no order from Beijing Central to call my father to Beijing to report on his work. I'm afraid I won't see my father this year." .”

Mother Xia comforted her and said, "Don't worry, girl, it's fine if the master doesn't come to Beijing this year. When the master comes to Beijing to report on his duties next year, the girl will have lived in this mansion for more than a year. It's justifiable to bring the girl back. No one gossips anymore."

The reason why Lin Ruhai was willing to let Daiyu come to Rongguo Mansion as a sojourn was because Jia Mu's sentence "The eldest daughter who lost her mother is the first of five unmarried" hit his heart.

Most people in this world have a lot of hearsay. If there is a good marriage in the future, but because of this matter, Lin Ruhai will feel ashamed of her daughter.

Why don't you send your daughter to Beijing, live there for a year or two, get the upbringing of the "Grandmother's Grandmother" to make up for this shortcoming, and at the same time let Daiyu do her filial piety for her mother who died young, and accompany her grandmother. Filial piety.

That's why Mother Xia said this. She thinks it's not bad for Lin Ruhai to come to the capital next year. If she comes this year, the girl has only lived for a few months. Not to mention that Mother Jia won't let her go, this time is too short for the so-called "education" grow up'.

It's better to come up next year and take the girl away. Mother Xia sees that this Rongguo Mansion is not a good place!

The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager.

But Daiyu doesn't need to enter the palace on this official day - the empress dowager's [-]th birthday palace is very grandly arranged, the first birthday is the birthday of the emperor's relatives, headed by the emperor, with the empress dowager's sons and grandchildren. birthday.

On the second day, it was the turn of the imperial eunuchs from Beijing to enter the palace and kowtow.As for the ladies selected by the middle palace, no matter how big their relative's official position is, they themselves are unmarried and have no rank, so they have to wait until the third day before entering the palace.

And Jia Mu is the second echelon to enter the palace.

So on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mother Jia called Daiyu and comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, Yu'er. I will go to the palace first in the future to see the rules and regulations in the palace this year and the changes in the status of the ladies." , I’ll tell you more about it when I come back.”

Daiyu said softly: "Thank you grandma, but Sister Jiang will also be waiting in the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, so I won't be nervous when I see familiar relatives."

Mother Jia nodded: "Physician Xiaolin is really a promising boy. It's just pitiful. Neither of you has a brother to support you. How about getting married in the future." Meaning, I thought that Lin Ruhai would bring it up in Beijing this year, but Lin Ruhai couldn't come because the emperor didn't call.

Mother Jia planned to change her strategy, starting with the child first, and planting some seeds of ideas in Daiyu's heart——Lin Ruhai loved her daughter Jiamu very clearly, and if her daughter had something in mind, Lin Ruhai would probably agree to it.

So she held Daiyu in her arms and said: "My dear boy, you are still young, and you don't know that a woman will grow up all her life. The days of being a girl and relying on her parents are only a few years. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, the most important thing is Marry into a good family."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Grandmother, I'm still young." Because she didn't want to hear any more, she covered her face with a handkerchief and made a shy expression: "Grandmother, stop talking, I don't want to do this at all, I just want to be with my father all my life and be filial to him !"

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know you are the most polite child. You are a girl from a big family. Naturally, you won't be like those people from small families who just want to spend their whole lives and even bring up this matter." They are all so self-respecting and dodging.”

Daiyu:?It feels like grandma is connoting people.

Sure enough, after Jia's mother connoted Xue's family, she turned back and said to Daiyu: "But there are no outsiders here, only our grandparents and grandchildren, so I will whisper to you. Your father is a man, so it is not good to tell you." , and your mother..." Jia's mother burst into tears: "If your mother is here, why should I worry about this for you?"

Speaking of her mother, Daiyu's heart softened, and she let Jiamu speak.

Daiyu could guess what grandma was thinking, and although she didn't like it in her heart, she could let her talk about what the old man wanted to say, and she shouldn't listen to it anyway.

Jia's mother began to be "benevolent and seductive": "Yu'er, you grew up in the Lin family, and your relatives are few and far between. I don't know that there are many things hidden by the big family members. There are many young masters among them! If you get engaged once If you make a mistake, that life will be over."

Daiyu lowered her head and turned the handkerchief, but did not answer the conversation without looking up.

But it's strange for a girl to talk about these things. Mother Jia just thinks that my granddaughter is really well-bred, unlike the Xue family who shows off her good fortune with everyone, and comes straight to the position of Second Grandma Bao. It can be called the heart of Sima Zhao. Everyone knows it.

Mother Jia has been the wife of the state for so many years, can a businessman handle it?

Even if she wanted to think about it, asking the Xue family to make such a self-assessment, she rebelled against her: As long as I live for a day, you, a golden couple, still want to come in?dream!

Jia's mother continued: "Oh, about your entry into the palace, although I also feel that you have a bright face, I am really worried. Just look at your sister Yuanchun and you will know that it is not so easy to stay in the palace. Your temperament and It's not those who are good at maneuvering to change things, or they have the dignity of the prince and concubine, but they don't know that they are glamorous on the outside but bitter on the inside."

What he said coincided with Lin Ruhai's thoughts.

But Lin Ruhai did it for Daiyu's own happiness, while Jia's mother did it for Baoyu's.

Daiyu can naturally figure out who is wholeheartedly for herself.

The first time Mother Jia mentioned this matter to Daiyu, naturally she would not point it out, otherwise it would be bad to make Daiyu shy and angry, so she only pointed to it, saying, "Girls, it is better to find someone who knows the roots and is reliable." " is the conclusion.

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help feeling that my teaching today was perfect, and I guess she had planted a seed in Daiyu's heart that "the family is a good place to get married, so that you won't be wronged in the future".

Because she felt that her goal had been achieved, when Mother Xia came back and said that it was Lin Jiang who invited Daiyu back to Lanzhi Courtyard, Mother Jia happily let her go.

"Good Yu'er, go back and have dinner with your sister. She has been in the imperial hospital for a few months, so she must be proficient in the palace rules. Tomorrow and the next two days, she will be accompanying the queen mother in the palace. She talks to you more."

There is a reason for Lin Jiang to be on duty in the Empress Dowager's Palace for two days.

Let's talk about the matter of entering the palace and kowtow, which seems to be a great honor, but in fact, it is also a great hardship for the imperial orders.

They are usually pampered wives and grandmas at home, and a group of people will follow them when they walk, sit and lie down, wishing they don't even have to lift their hands to put on their clothes.

But when they entered the palace, no one was used to them.

Feeling tired and do not want to walk want to take a sedan chair?That can't.

The Taishang Emperor is considerate of the elderly, and the palace rules stipulate that anyone who has reached the age of eighty can get on the sedan chair.As for the rest, let's just walk along.

Want to get home early?That's even more impossible.

For example, during the Chinese New Year, the eunuchs had to get up before dawn to put on their makeup and dress, and they would stand outside and wait after entering the palace gate very early in the morning.

The empress dowager came late after offering sacrifices to the heavens, and every time the order was ordered, they had to wait at least an hour or more.

It was so hard to wait for the rightful lord to come, and he still had to kneel down and kowtow three times and nine times while wearing heavy imperial equipment.

In this cold and twelfth lunar month, every year when entering the palace to kowtow for encore is suffering.This year was miserable, and everyone had to suffer two crimes: the queen mother held a big birthday banquet, and ordered you to enter the palace to line up for a kowtow on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and to kowtow again in less than ten days to celebrate the new year!

This kind of hard work is unbearable for many delicate servants.

Therefore, the Imperial Hospital has people on duty every year in the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace and the Queen's Fenglin Palace, in order to treat those imperial orders who cannot hold on and collapse in time.

There are quite a few of them every year.

A few days ago, the deputy of the Horse Hospital of the Imperial Hospital found Lin Jiang: "Doctor Xiao Lin is willing to work hard for a while, and wait for two days in Ci'an Palace?"

Seeing that Lin Jiang didn't seem to know this old rule, the deputy of the Ma Yuan explained a thing or two: "It's not that I'm making trouble for Imperial Doctor Xiao Lin, but us people. Another day will be when girls from various prefectures enter the palace, we men are really not cheap."

For the married women of this dynasty, it's okay to meet the men of their relatives and friends. For example, the housekeeper Wang Xifeng and the men in the Jia family will naturally meet.

But the girls in the boudoir are different. If the imperial doctor goes to various mansions to take the pulse of the ladies, they will be surrounded by a circle of women, and they often have to take the pulse dryly through the curtain, and they can't even look at the complexion and tongue coating.

I heard that dozens of ladies will be gathered in the Empress Dowager's Palace this time, and they are all the most powerful young ladies from the family's father and elder brother.

These imperial physicians were naturally a little apprehensive, if this was one or two abrupt, wouldn't it be unbearable to walk around.

So everyone pushed the deputy of the horse hospital out, wanting her to lobby Lin Jiang: After all, there is a female imperial doctor in the imperial hospital now, and she is still a boudoir lady. It is so convenient to see a doctor, and there will be no taboos.

The deputy of the horse courtyard smiled bitterly and said: "I also know that the identity of the imperial physician Xiaolin is different, and he didn't have to be on duty all day. But this matter, I really want to ask the imperial physician Xiaolin for help. We old imperial physicians are fine. , but most of the sub-envoys who followed were young people in their 30s and [-]s, if they were to walk around and collide in Ci'an Palace in the future, their lives would be lost!"

Lin Jiang really wanted to take this job.If she was on the scene, not only could she accompany Daiyu, but she could also observe the harem concubine at a closer distance.

It's just...she said to Ma Yuan's assistant: "Master Ma, I have no problem, but I don't know if His Majesty will allow it or not."

The vice-chairman of the horse courtyard relaxed: "Emperor Xiaolin is willing to agree to this matter, so we accept it! This matter will naturally be reported to Qin Yuanzheng for approval, and the old man will definitely ask the Supreme Emperor what he wants."

As for the Supreme Emperor, he quickly gave the approval for release.

To him, as long as Lin Jiang doesn't make friends with those harem concubines and princes, nothing else matters.On the contrary, such a lively occasion is the least likely to develop any personal relationship in private, and everyone is watching.

So Lin Jiang happily reported to Ci'an Palace on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Ever since she ruled Princess Qi Yang's son, the queen mother has always been very friendly to her.

He also specially summoned Lin Jiang and prepared a 'consultation room' for her in advance.Then he took her to the inner hall to talk: "That's right, I originally thought that this would be appropriate, but it's not easy to talk to His Majesty about asking for someone. The Imperial Hospital is acting smart this time."

Lin Jiang has always had a question, so today he took advantage of it and asked: "Empress Dowager, I see that there are many midwives in the palace, so why don't you reset the women's clinic? Wouldn't it be more convenient for the empresses in the palaces? "

The queen mother held a snow-white muff in her hand, and she looked like a fat cat lying on her knees. She shook her head and smiled: "In this palace, there used to be a women's clinic. And it wasn't located in the imperial hospital. It was set up in this harem, exclusively for concubines, and it was indeed much more convenient to see a doctor at that time."

"It's just that during Emperor Cheng's reign, a concubine colluded with a female doctor in the Women's Medical Center and harmed one of Emperor Cheng's beloved concubines and princes. Emperor Cheng was furious. Not only did he deal with the victim's concubine, he even banned the Women's Medical Center."

"I heard that Emperor Cheng wanted to convict and exile all the female doctors in the Women's Hospital, but after the empress persuaded them, they were only expelled from the palace."

"Emperor Cheng is so taboo. After more than 30 years in his reign, there has never been a female doctor."

The queen mother looked at her: "The Supreme Emperor is the eldest son of Emperor Cheng. If it weren't for your medical skills, which are beneficial to the body of the dragon, His Majesty would not make an exception and appoint you a girl as an imperial physician. But you see, the Supreme Emperor will only give you As an imperial physician, let you, a girl who has not left the court, also go to the imperial hospital to sit with the men on duty, but you don't mention the Fuli women's clinic at all."

Lin Jiang originally stood up and listened. When he heard this, his heart moved, and he quickly thanked him: "I am taking the liberty. Fortunately, I mentioned this in front of the empress. The empress dowager is tolerant and loving, so she didn't blame her for telling the old things. Me. From now on, the minister will never mention this again."

The scandal involving the concubines of the old dynasty who killed the prince was secretive. No wonder the deputy of the horse court only knew that the women's hospital had been banned for decades, but he didn't know the real reason.

The Empress Dowager just smiled: "That makes sense. Imperial Physician Xiaolin, you are a god-given doctor who became famous at a young age, and the two majesties are now favored, and their official careers are magnanimous. But you can't be too cautious when doing things in this palace."

Lin Jiang resigned from Ci'an Palace only after thanking her for being taught again.

It's just that in this way, the plan in her heart is a little bankrupt.She was thinking of starting with herself, so that the Tai Hospital would have more female doctors, and develop from the official to the private sector, so that more women could benefit.

But from the beginning, it was frustrated.

The Supreme Emperor made an exception to use her, but he would not build a female doctor's clinic, and probably would not allow more female doctors to appear in the Taishang Hospital.

So when she came home from get off work that day, Lin Jiang felt a little depressed.

And Daiyu happened to have just listened to "marriage education" from Jia Mu, and it was just when she felt uncomfortable, the two of them faced each other and couldn't help asking each other at the same time: "Why is my sister (sister) unhappy?"

The two exchanged their troubles with each other.

After hearing what Jiamu said, Lin Jiang comforted Daiyu. Anyway, Jiamu didn't dare to tell Daiyu, but as long as Lin Ruhai was still there, Jiamu couldn't make the decision and had to go to fight Lin Ruhai.

The fate of parents cannot be circumvented.

When Daiyu heard Lin Jiang's troubles, she left her personal affairs behind and thought about it for Lin Jiang first.

She knew Lin Jiang's intentions, and she was not the kind of person who could learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family and feel at ease.Some people are officials because they really want to do something for the people.

For example, his father Lin Ruhai.

Daiyu had heard from her father that although the officials were getting bigger and bigger, he really missed the days when he first passed the examination of Tanhualang, and just left Hanlin to be the magistrate of his parents.

At that time, every move he took was actually for the benefit of the people.

Abolishing an outdated rule and reducing the tax for one year will immediately benefit the people of the entire county. Seeing that their lives are getting more and more prosperous, Lin Ruhai feels a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, now he is in charge of the salt administration, holding one of the main lines of wealth and power in the world, and it is also related to the livelihood of countless people, so there is no ambiguity at all.It’s just that it’s not as good as in the past, when you can see the people benefiting so clearly.

After Lin Jiang's medical treatment, Lin Ruhai taught Lin Jiang to read "The Great Physician's Sincerity" a thousand times, especially in it, "Whenever a great doctor cures a disease, he must calm his nerves and calm his mind, without desires or demands, and first express his compassion and compassion." heart, and vow to save the suffering of the spirit.” The famous sentence.

Lin Ruhai even wrote this constant statement with his own hand and gave it to Lin Jiang, hoping that she would reflect on herself from time to time.

As a doctor, technical skills are important, but a little compassion is absolutely indispensable!

Lin Jiang has always carried the handwriting gifted by Lin Ruhai, and now it is hanging in her room, even the 'pennant' given to her by Wei Ren has to be kept aside.

Daiyu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Sister, since the women's medical clinic cannot be established, can you write medical books?"

Lin Jiang was slightly taken aback, she really hadn't thought about it.

But after a flash of inspiration, Daiyu's mind immediately turned more and more: "Sister, think about it, most things in this world are like this: Maxima is common, Bole is not; hardworking students are common, and famous teachers and scholars who set up forums are rare; Naturally, there are often patients suffering from illnesses in this world, and famous doctors are rare!"

"I know what my sister thinks. The purpose of gaining fame in the palace is to set an example from the imperial city, so that there will be more female doctors in the world. Otherwise, relying on my sister alone, even if I go out every day to support the pulse and sleepless, I can treat a few patients. What? It’s always a drop in the bucket.”

"But since we can't set up women's clinics for the time being, and we can't have more women doctors, can patients learn to understand themselves?"

Daiyu turned around clutching the handkerchief, her eyes were as bright as falling stars.

"Sister, do you still remember the "Minister's Story" we read?"

Lin Jiang's heart skipped a beat: "An article written by Gui Youguang mourning his mother?"

Daiyu nodded: "It was written in "The Story of the First Concubine" that her mother fell ill due to multiple births, so she didn't want to have another child. At this time, an old servant brought snail soup. She said that as long as she drank this soup, she would not get pregnant again. As a result, her mother made her throat hoarse after drinking it, and even died soon after.”

"At that time, my sister scolded the old servant, saying that it is a stupid person who commits stupidity, which is worse than a bad person deliberately harming others. A woman who has just given birth and is in poor health, why should she feed the raw and cold snail soup in the folk recipe? I don't know what to add. How many messy things have been killed, and a life has been killed!"

Lin Jiang remembered that she was really angry at the time.

Moreover, Gui Youguang's family is not a poor and lower-middle peasant. His mother has a child's order, and she was killed by these so-called folk earthworkers.That real country woman lost many lives on ignorant and stupid rumors and folk remedies.

Lin Jiang suddenly became enlightened: "That's right, if folk women can have some medical knowledge of Qianjinke, I'm afraid countless people will suffer and die!"

"Sister Lin, thank you for reminding me, I didn't think of this!" The reason why Lin Jiang never thought about this is because her medical knowledge was given by the heavens and given by the system.

So she doesn't think she has any capital. She can write books and guide other doctors to practice medicine in her teens.

But Daiyu's words woke her up, she narrowed the road!

She doesn't need to write any professional medical books to guide the famous doctors in the Tai Hospital. What she wants to write is countless common senses, common senses that are well known in modern times even if she doesn't have a system!

Let these most basic principles and knowledge save thousands of ordinary women.

Lin Jiang couldn't help standing up excitedly, and said as he walked: "There are many medical books in the Imperial Hospital. Although there are very few books dedicated to women, they have been related to diseases since ancient times, and they are more or less useful. I will put the diseases related to women, The prescriptions are all excerpted separately."

"It's just that there are so many books in the Taiyuan Hospital. I read them diligently every day, and what I have read so far is only in case..." Lin Jiang was in a dilemma. If he made a special excerpt and sorted it out, it would waste even more time.

"I'll do it." Daiyu looked at Lin Jiang: "Sister, just take the excerpts. I know your words and your writing best. I will polish the words for my sister and organize them into a book. Besides, I am not a person who understands medicine. Medical books There are many profound and obscure words in the book, only people like me who don't understand medical knowledge can understand, and the world can understand."

Lin Jiang nodded again and again: "Exactly."

Just like in the previous life, there are many professional papers, but apart from experts, ordinary people can't understand them.So many people go to Baidu to check if they are not feeling well, and the specious and diverse symptoms they check scare themselves to death.

Lin Jiang continued: "Yes, so we don't want those esoteric and eccentric diseases. Serious serious diseases still have to ask them to see a serious doctor. What we have recorded is just some knowledge to correct foolish rumors and common diseases."

Daiyu didn't wait for her to finish, and she understood: "It should be like this, otherwise it is common for books to mislead people. You can only lose battles just by looking at Zhao Kuo's words on paper, and how many men have not learned how to read sage books. You can know how to govern the country and assist the people.”

"This medical book is naturally even more so. It is impossible to expect people to see a doctor just by looking at the book. The medical book written by my sister is just for everyone to know more about serious medicine. It is a merit to not be cheated."

Lin Jiang couldn't help pulling Daiyu around again: "Great, sister Lin, thank you very much, this time is really enlightening!"

Daiyu also felt very happy in her heart, even with a little passion.

She was brought up by Lin Ruhai pretending to be a man, and she is no worse than a man in reading and writing poetry!

When she saw that Lin Jiang was able to walk out of the back house, Daiyu felt a little envious: Could all her talents and knowledge be used for her whole life to be the housekeeper of the back house?

If the medical books that she helps sort out can help the world in the future, then she will accomplish a lot in this life, and there will be no more regrets.
