[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor
Chapter 64
Unfortunately, Lin Jiang was not there when Yuanchun returned home the next day.
Since she was promoted to the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, she no longer had the benefit of being able to come to work the next day when she first joined the job.Now she is the same as the original Qin Yuanzheng, going to the palace to report every day, and only resting one day every ten days.
Lin Jiang deeply felt that the increased salary by one level could not make up for her pain of getting up early every day to enter the palace.
However, in her position to seek her own government, the emperor gave her a decent official position under the pressure of public opinion, and she had to work conscientiously, not to be blamed by others, to live up to the emperor's extraordinary appointment, let alone to the system and herself along the way. The adventure that came was hard.
Therefore, on the second day, when Jia Yuanchun was ordered to leave the palace, she had no chance to see him in person.
I had no choice but to come back from get off work and listen to Madam Xia's narration: Everyone in the mansion, starting from Jiamu, cried into a ball.The real reason for this crying can't be explained clearly, so I had to cry while thanking the emperor for reuniting them, so I couldn't help crying in surprise.
On the contrary, Madam Xing, after crying with Rong Qing Tang, immediately changed into a smiling face, non-stop came to Lanzhi Courtyard to congratulate Dai Yu, and inquired about the exact time when aunt Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing.
Nanny Xia pointed to the seat under Lin Jiang: "The eldest lady sat here talking and laughing for half an hour before leaving."
Lin Jiang was overjoyed when he heard it.
Mrs. Xing is really a god-man, always out of tune with the rest of the Jia family.
But she forgot that not everyone in this mansion will be gloomy because of Yuanchun—for example, Mrs. Jia Shexing and Mrs. Jia Shexing, the eldest house, just like it more: the second room originally lived in Rongxi Hall, and was the master of the house for the eldest house. If there is another imperial concubine, will they give up the Rongxi hall in their lifetime?
It's better that Yuanchun has no hope, even if the family is less dependent on the glory, it's better than Erfang has been occupying the magpie's nest all the time.
The Dafang is still looking forward to Jia Lian's stable happiness, the day when he moves into the Rongxi Hall.
In August, when golden osmanthus was fragrant, Lin Ruhai went to Beijing by order, and disembarked at Guan Wharf after noon.
It has been three years since he came to Beijing last time.
Goodbye to the bustling and grand occasion of the capital, even better than before, Lin Ruhai felt comforted by her patriotic heart.
He returned to Beijing alone three years ago, and of course he went to Rongguo Mansion to visit his mother-in-law.At that time, Jia Min's three-year mourning period had not yet passed, Daiyu was still young, and Lin Ruhai was treated by Lin Jiang again, and she recovered to be able to take care of her daughter on her own, so she refused to send Daiyu to Beijing. Anyhow.
When he came to Beijing to pay a visit, and once he left Beijing to say goodbye, Jia's mother wept unceasingly in front of him, and she kept saying that she wanted to see "her poor granddaughter Daiyu".
Those who didn't know thought Lin Ruhai was a stepfather.
But this time, Lin Ruhai didn't know what Jiamu would tell him: as far as he knew from Nanny Xia and Fan Xiaoqing, her daughter's life in Rongguo Mansion was not very satisfactory.
The position of inspector of salt and censor had already been handed over, Lin Ruhai thought in his heart, no matter what position the emperor gave him, whether he stayed in Beijing or was sent abroad, he would always take his daughter away from Rongguo Mansion.
The only thing that worried Lin Ruhai very much was that Lin Jiang definitely couldn't leave the capital.
Lin Ruhai couldn't sleep at the thought of leaving her alone in Beijing, or staying in Shenshen Imperial City, letting her sit in the imperial hospital with a girl's family.Along the way, I thought about it in Beijing, and even moved to find old teachers, old relatives and friends after entering Beijing, and find connections to stay in the capital as an official to protect my niece.
However, these visits to relatives and friends are things for later. As the former inspector of salt and censor, Lin Ruhai's first thing in Beijing was to hand over his son to the palace to see him.
Before seeing the emperor, he should avoid seeing any officials in the capital.
Given his official position and the importance of reporting, as long as the emperor has no major affairs today, he will definitely be summoned.Therefore, Lin Ruhai even changed into his official robes on the boat.
Sure enough, the emperor directly agreed to his request to see Zhezi, and summoned him to enter the palace immediately to meet His Majesty in Mingzheng Palace.
As soon as Lin Ruhai stepped into the palace gate, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
He said he was familiar because Lin Jiang had stayed in his house for three years, and in Lin Ruhai's heart she was another daughter. Even though he hadn't seen her for many years, her appearance hadn't faded in the memory, and she recognized her from a distance.
But at first glance, it was also unfamiliar: I saw Lin Jiang wearing a blue official robe, a black belt with jade inlaid buttons around his waist, with a bright smile and a broad expression, and he really had the heroic spirit of being an official in charge of a department. , It's not like the girl's family described it back then.
"uncle!"
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile, but he asked with concern: "Why are you waiting for me at the palace gate at this hour? Your Majesty Long En, I promise you that you are a doctor in the hospital. You should be on duty with all your heart, and you must not be proud... "
Lin Jiang began to circle around in front of his eyes: Lin Ruhai is the most standard Confucian official with great ambitions. He is knowledgeable and easy to talk about the truth, and he can talk about it until tomorrow morning.
In comparison, the system's father can be called a hare-style management in this respect. He will just throw money directly when he sees her, and doesn't care what she does. As long as the system's reputation is rising, the system will be a pleasant and satisfied father. Great.
Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, follows precepts and deeds, and must start from the little things, so that the children can feel the father's love from the details.
The two are completely opposite.
So Lin Jiang hurriedly begged for mercy and stopped: "Stop reading, uncle. It is His Majesty's permission for me to pick you up."
That's all for Lin Ruhai.
Besides, Lin Jiang’s coming here was indeed allowed by the emperor——the emperor had something on his mind. He wanted to take away his two daughters from the Lin family. Of course, he had to be more kind to the head of the family, Lin Ruhai. Pick up my uncle one by one, to show how important and magnanimous he is as an emperor.
Lin Ruhai was still sympathetic to Lin Jiang's new official appointment, and refused to let her stay with him to delay official duties. He just said: "Your Majesty is very gracious, please come and see me first. It's just a one-time meeting. You can go back and be on duty."
He can be said to be earnest: "You are newly appointed as the principal, and you have countless pairs of eyes looking at you, so you must be careful in everything."
Lin Ruhai has his own sources of information. Since he received the call to go to Beijing to report on his work, Lin Ruhai has paid more attention to collecting some new official situations in Beijing and China in recent years.
There is also something related to Lin Jiang here.
A year ago, the emperor made an exception to appoint a young girl to be an imperial physician, but now she is promoted to the head of the hospital, and a woman is in charge of the hospital!I can't sit still if I have a censor, and I feel that if I don't impeach, I will be sorry for the chair under my buttocks.
Very much, he wrote a book on the principle of women being chaste, quiet and virtuous, and also mentioned some old events such as the banning of female doctors in imperial hospitals.
It's just that the censor was directly rejected by the emperor, and he was scorned by Prince Shao in court, so the others could see clearly what His Majesty was thinking, and for the time being, he didn't dare to rant anymore.
But when Lin Ruhai learned about this, she couldn't help telling Lin Jiang to be cautious in her words and deeds. The more the emperor uses protection, the less she can make mistakes by herself, so as not to slap the emperor in the face.
Lin Jiang looked at Lin Ruhai at close range, saw that his body was bright white, and he was obviously in good health, so he didn't insist on following him.
What's more, I couldn't resist Lin Ruhai's instruction, and quickly said, "Don't read it, master, don't read it anymore", and I will go back to the Taiyuan Hospital to work diligently, and serve the motherland with my head hanging on the beam and my ass. Please rest assured my uncle.
Only then was Lin Ruhai satisfied.
After that, he followed the little eunuch all the way to Mingzheng Palace.
Before Lin Ruhai entered the main palace of the Ming Dynasty, he first met a young man in the uniform of the Dragon Guard and wearing a waist knife.
Looking at his uniform as a third-rank military officer, and thinking that he is less than 20 years old, Lin Ruhai knew that this person should be the new commander of Long Jinwei, Wei Ren.
From what Lin Ruhai heard about the court situation, this person is the emperor's confidant and a rising star.
Wei Ren waited for Lin Ruhai here on purpose.He first met Lin Ruhai under the official ceremony, and then personally led him all the way into the Mingzheng Palace. He spoke and acted like a filial son and nephew, and Lin Ruhai couldn't make it up: Isn't it the first time we meet?
Moreover, the Lord Yuqianwei that Lin Ruhai had heard about was not a temperament with a wide range of friends, but a cold and stern temper.It is said that when he led his troops to Prince Jian's mansion to reduce the guards, his evil spirit was so severe that Prince Jian thought that the emperor wanted to take revenge and ransack the house.
In this way, Wei Ren sent Lin Ruhai respectfully all the way to the steps of the main hall of Mingzheng Palace.
And the thrush father-in-law was already waiting there.
Lin Ruhai was more impressed with this Eunuch Bai.He is someone the emperor has always used. Everyone knows that he is the emperor's first confidant eunuch who is extremely rigid and refusing to associate with the officials.
However, this time, Lin Ruhai saw this Eunuch Bai, who had a face like a wood carving, suddenly smiled to himself: "Master Lin is here, let's go in and report back, sir, please wait here."
Lin Ruhai: What's going on with the sudden coolness behind me.
Before seeing the emperor himself, Lin Ruhai's mood was a little fluctuated by the enthusiasm of the two cold-faced confidantes of the legendary Yuqian.
Because he had just been disgusted by the eldest prince for half a year in Jiangnan, he felt a little nervous.
At this moment, not only did he not feel like a spring breeze, but he also felt that if things were abnormal, there must be a demon, and the demon wind was blowing.
Such an ominous premonition was confirmed after seeing the emperor.
Three years ago, when Lin Ruhai reported on his duties, the emperor had a completely business-like attitude. After reviewing his work report, he was asked to report to the Supreme Emperor again, and he never summoned him alone after that.
It can be said that the friendship between the monarch and his ministers is as pale as water.
However, this time, when the emperor saw him, he ordered the palace servants to serve good tea, and then said to Lin Ruhai with emotion: "I haven't seen you for three years, and Lin Qing still has the same demeanor."
Your Majesty, this is the pure Zhou family's emotion: King Shao recently talked about the matter of improving his appearance, and he couldn't help mentioning that Lin Ruhai was a handsome man in the past. That's why the Emperor said this, praising them, which the Zhou family has never had in the past. looks.
However, when Lin Ruhai heard it, he felt hot in his ears, and immediately said that the emperor was the one with a beautiful face, a radiant face, a healthy body, and a majestic aura of the emperor.
Lin Ruhai is not lying. Compared with three years ago, the current emperor is full of vigor and high spirits. He is obviously three years older, but his complexion is better and he looks younger.
The emperor has indeed grown inversely: firstly, he got rid of all his stubborn illnesses, and he achieved physical well-being physically; secondly, he moved up to Mount Tai and turned himself over psychologically, so naturally his energy and spirit were completely different.
Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, the emperor smiled: "It's also due to your Lin family having a daughter."
Lin Ruhai also took advantage of this to express his feelings to the emperor, only saying that Lin Jiang had a hard life since he was a child. He was born without a mother, and his father still devoted himself to visiting immortals.After being taught by the divine monk, the child has only been immersed in the way of medicine since she was a child, and she is not familiar with the world and the world. I just beg the emperor, if she behaves inappropriately, please forgive me.
The emperor listened to the poor life described by Lin Ruhai, and compared it with a bright smile every day, it seemed that Lin Jiang, whose life was made of honey, was hard to blend into the same person in his heart.
However, the emperor still nodded very generously, saying that I am an extraordinary man, and you can choose and employ talents without sticking to one pattern, so you can rest assured.
Now that the two of them had come to this point, the emperor simply said: "A year ago, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the girl from the Qing family came to the palace to pay her respects, and she was very fond of the empress mother. I wonder if the Qing family intends to marry the royal family?"
There is a difference between closeness and closeness. The first thing the emperor mentioned to Lin Ruhai was of course his own daughter's marriage.
What's more, in the eyes of the emperor, this marriage is relatively stable: Zhou Liheng is a well-off son-in-law, Wei Ren is weaker in terms of family background, I'm afraid Lin Ruhai is not willing.
Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, he is going to throw out the good marriage of Prince Shao's mansion first, and then escort a guard.
However, as soon as he said this, Lin Ruhai's entire face turned pale.
Marrying an in-law with the royal family, he immediately thought of the eldest prince who was hopping around in the south of the Yangtze River!
The eldest prince's behavior in Jiangnan was so vile that he himself impeached him, yet the emperor still intends to give him a marriage!This is really deceptive!
He bowed his head and saluted, suppressing himself not to show an expression of displeasure, and said: "Back to the emperor, how can I be worthy of joining the royal family with the quality of my daughter Pu Liu. Besides, I only have this one daughter, and I only hope for the reunion of father and daughter, not Beside, I beg the emperor to take back the grace."
The emperor Longyan was surprised: Huh?Have I been declined?
He subconsciously frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "This is one of the best children in my great Zhou royal family, Lin Qing is not willing to promise a daughter?"
Lin Ruhai was about to vomit blood in his heart, just the eldest prince, or the best boy in the Da Zhou family?It's going to be cold after the big week.
There were still 1 earnest faces on the face, and he immediately expressed that the minister did not dare, saying that the minister's daughter was not worthy.
The authorities are confused by the onlookers, the emperor and Lin Ruhai are talking with each other here, but the father-in-law Thrush, as the person who passed the important news, immediately understood the meaning of the two parties, no, your Majesty and Lin Ruhai have gone too far!
In order to prevent Mr. Lin from annoying the emperor, Eunuch Thrush stood up in time and said to Lin Ruhai, "Master Lin must have heard some rumors in Beijing and felt that Prince Shao's son is not destined to be a good match for marriage, so he is so unwilling. Mr. Lin needs to know. Those are all false rumors in the market, how can they be taken seriously for deliberately arranging Prince Shao's mansion."
His voice fell on the word Shaowang.
Lin Ruhai: King Shao?King Shao? ! !
The emperor's dissatisfaction dissipated a bit: Also, thinking about his little cousin's pitiful trip to talk about marriage, it is indeed suspicious.
A woman's boudoir name is important, if she says she can't get married, she will definitely suffer gossip, Lin Ruhai has such concerns and declines because of her kind father's heart.
The emperor also said: "How can the rumors be taken seriously?" Although he was a little guilty when he said this, he still said righteously: "Your words are strange, and Lin Qing's niece is the director of my imperial hospital. If Wang Shizi gets sick any more, just let her go and treat him, so why should Lin Qing worry too much."
Lin Ruhai was in a brainstorm: I need to think about it for a while... Yu'er and Shao Wang's son, where did this marriage come from?
While he was still digesting the first accident, the emperor had already started talking about the second one.
The emperor tried his best to put on a pleasant smile: "Since I mentioned my new appointment as the principal, I still have a marriage that I want to discuss with Lin Qing."
Lin Ruhai looked up in a daze: "Please tell me, Your Majesty."
The emperor pointed out the window: "Lin Qing has just seen the commander of my Imperial Imperial Commander Long Ban, what do you think?"
Lin Ruhai was still deep in the brainstorm, but subconsciously praised: "The emperor has blue eyes, so he is a young talent."
Emperor: That's what I want.
The emperor showed a kind smile on his face: "Since Lin Qing's family thinks that he is a young talent, they must think that he can be your niece and son-in-law."
Just now she was rejected by Lin Ruhai, which left a shadow on the emperor, so she started the routine directly.
Lin Ruhai:? ? ?
Eunuch Huamei looked at him and felt sorry for him: Mr. Lin is really suffering. He just entered Beijing, and he has suffered so many blows in his heart this afternoon.
--
In addition, the news that Lin Ruhai arrived in the capital and had entered the palace to meet His Majesty soon spread to Rongguo Mansion.
Mother Jia immediately asked people to get ready, waiting for the long-lost son-in-law to come to the door.
My son-in-law is a distinguished guest, so Jia She and Jia Zheng, the two brothers-in-law, naturally prepared a banquet for my brother-in-law in the front yard.
Rongguo Mansion was in full swing, waiting to welcome Lin Ruhai.
It's just that when Lin Jiangdu got off work and returned to Rongguo Mansion, it was almost time for dinner, but Lin Ruhai still didn't come out of the palace.
Jia Mu couldn't help being anxious: something happened in the palace.
Jia Zheng came to Rongqing hall to comfort him: "Mother, don't worry, my brother-in-law will enter the palace in the afternoon. The salt administration is an important matter, and the emperor may stay a little longer to ask questions."
Jia's mother nodded, and then asked Jia Zheng: "Do you remember what I said to you before?" She only thinks about her younger sister who also came from the royal family."
Jia Mu frowned: "You are Baoyu's father, it is enough for you to understand."
Before Lin Ruhai entered Beijing, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng agreed for the first time, and wanted Jia Baoyu to hurry up to make up lessons and try to perform well in front of Lin Ruhai.
It is rare for Jia Zheng to have the full support of Jia's mother, so he was ecstatic and dragged Baoyu out to repair it.
Mrs. Wang heard Jia Zheng say a few times that she wanted Jia Baoyu to read some books in a good life, so that she wouldn't feel a little uneasy after losing face in front of her uncle, so she couldn't help testing Jia Zheng's words of "a good match".
Who knew that she hadn't started persuading her yet, but just mentioning a good relationship, Jia Zheng exploded, saying: Don't even think about it!
Let's say that Jia Zheng's lifelong dream is to become an official through the imperial examination.
Rongguo Mansion is the home of military generals, and Jia Zheng especially thinks it is not enough, and wants to move closer to the scholarly family, forcing his sons to read sage books, let alone a merchant like the Xue family.
"What a golden and jade marriage, gold and silver vulgar objects, how can there be a scholarly fragrance and elegance."
Mrs. Wang was angry: You don’t need money for food and drink. Why don’t you drink the northwest wind?
The husband and wife usually treat each other with respect, but it is rare for them to argue about something that is not Jia Baoyu, so they ask Aunt Zhao who lives in the side room to listen.
Besides, Aunt Zhao is the most different from the rest of the Jia family. Everyone in the house thinks that Miss Lin is of high status, but Aunt Zhao prefers Xue Baochai because Lin Daiyu has never seen her in her eyes.
The servants would try to please Lanzhiyuan, thinking that Lanzhiyuan was generous, but Aunt Zhao regarded herself as a serious elder, and she felt that Lanzhiyuan should respect her.
But how Daiyu sees people like Aunt Zhao is not only due to the difference in status, but also Aunt Zhao is not respected by others.Therefore, if Daiyu didn't show dislike or dislike, it was because of Tanchun's face, and she would not treat her as a serious elder, so remember to give her some gifts.
But Baochai is different, she never forgets Aunt Zhao's side, and there is always something to send during festivals.
The things he gave were just right, and he fulfilled his etiquette, without causing Madam Wang's dissatisfaction.
This is also a basic operation of Baochai.
Therefore, Aunt Zhao heard Jia Zheng's meaning of not allowing a good marriage, and saw that Jia Zheng recently forced Jia Baoyu to read a book and said that he wanted to see the old lady. Xialin girl?
That girl Lin came from a prosperous family, her father was a high-ranking official, and her elder sister was also the head of the imperial hospital. There was no one in her eyes. Wouldn't she and Jia Huan be kicked out in the future?
It's better for Miss Bao to get started. Her Xue family has only money but no power, and she is friendly with others. At that time, Huan'er can get a lot of money from her.
Of course, Aunt Zhao's plan to plot against Baochai is also a daydream.
But Baochai at least gave her the illusion of dreaming, and Aunt Zhao felt suffocated whenever she thought of Lin Daiyu.
So at night, he quietly asked the little maid to send the news to Lixiangyuan.
--
On this day, when Lin Jiang came back from the palace, she was about to go to Daiyu's room: Wei Ren told her that the emperor kept Lin Ruhai for dinner.She was going to tell Daiyu so that Daiyu would not be worried all the time.
As soon as Lin Jiang took a step, Baoshi hurriedly said, "Miss Xue is in Miss Lin's room."
"Huh? Did you come here by visiting?" Lin Jiang knew that Xue Baochai was famously fond of visiting in Jia's house, but she rarely came to Lanzhi Courtyard: After all, Xue's family planned to seize the business of Lin's family, but she was pushed back before it was won. , Anyone with some brains will not rush to the bad luck, so as not to look at other people's faces.
Sure enough, after that incident, Xue Baochai never went to Lanzhi Courtyard again.
Why did he suddenly come here again?
Baoshi knew the inside story very well, and while tidying Lin Jiang's clothes, he said, "It's about a year and a half later, and the girl is quite kind to Lian's second grandma, and it's not because Lian's second grandma came from the Wang family. But to vent your anger, Miss Bao thinks that you are well-mannered, so you can come and walk around."
"Furthermore, now is the right time to come to congratulate—the master is coming to Beijing today, and the grandmothers and girls of the same generation have all come to our Lanzhi Courtyard to congratulate in person, so Miss Xue will come here just to take advantage of this event. "
Lin Jiang nodded: "Let's go, since that's the case, let's go see Miss Xue too."
She walked through the main hall, came to Daiyu's bedroom and lifted the curtain to go in. Sure enough, she saw Baochai and Daiyu sitting and talking.
Seeing her come in, Baochai got up first and smiled and said: "Yuan Lin is returning home. It is hard work to get up early to enter the palace and return in the evening." Her tone was natural and friendly, as if the Xue and Lin families had never had any quarrels. As if the Xue family had never snatched any business, Lin Changzhou didn't slap the Xue family backhand, and wiped away all their tickets for going to sea.
Speaking of acting, the Lin family was trained by the Supreme Emperor.
Baochai pretends to be nothing, and she, who has not suffered a loss, is even more so.
Lin Jiang smiled, went to sit next to Daiyu, and took the tea offered by Xueyan: "The holy fate is like this, so there is no such thing as hard work."
Lin Jiang and Baochai have nothing to say.
Baochai is obviously here to manage the relationship, but Lin Jiang doesn't want to be arranged by the management.
In the end, for a person like Baochai, as long as she is stronger than her, what she thinks is not about harming others, but about employing them.In her eyes, people in this world don't like or dislike affectionately, but are useful or useless.
Even if it is ruthless, it is also touching.
It is she who is ruthless, and it is others who move.It's a pity that Lin Jiang is not someone else, and he doesn't like being manipulated.
So Lin Jiang just sat there, didn't take the initiative to speak, just played with the cup in his hand, and played for a while before handing the empty teacup to Xueyan, asking for a cup of tea.
While Baochai was beside him, he chatted with Daiyu for a few words, then looked at Lin Jiang carefully, trying to find something to talk about.
This is really looking for.I saw that the doctor Xiaolin took off his official uniform and changed into his daughter's dress, but it was resplendent and resplendent.With a slight movement, a few jewel hairpins and red pearl flowers on her head will shine, and she also wears a ruby bracelet and a set of rings on her hands—these gems are of good quality, matching the red silk dress on her body. The color, the light flows and shines.
Even if she sat a little farther away, Baochai felt that it was quite dazzling, so she said earnestly and sincerely like a confidant sister: "Lin Yuanzheng was born rich and powerful, and also holds an official position, so it's fine to dress like this in the mansion. Keep it simple so that people don’t gossip about corruption behind their backs.”
Lin Jiang thought: Ah, it's up to me?
Daiyu frowned slightly at the side, but spoke first: "People may not have such thoughts as Miss Xue."
Baochai's expression didn't change, she just smiled and looked at Daiyu like a child having a temper tantrum, and said kindly: "Sister Lin is overthinking what she said, I'm just thinking about myself and others, I'm just caring for Doctor Lin Thinking about it. If you are not happy to hear it, I won’t say it.”
Lin Jiang pulled down La Daiyu's clothes from the table, and shook her head slightly.She wasn't afraid that Daiyu would lose verbally, but for someone like Baochai, it's useless if you win.
After all, Baochai is calm and calm, and what she says has her own purpose, not to argue with anyone.
But Daiyu is different, she values affection, and her mood fluctuates greatly.In particular, I can't see the people I care about being wronged.
Daiyu felt that Lin Jiang was pulling her, so she simply stopped talking, got up and walked to the case, took a book to read.
Seeing Daiyu walk away, Baochai just smiled as usual, and even shook her head, as if she was helpless at Daiyu's waywardness.
Lin Jiang: Admiration, what a master.It's a pity that such an expert doesn't fight with others in the palace.There is no opponent for her out there.
Seeing Baochai like this, Lin Jiang looked up and down with a half-smile, and said, "Ms. Xue's body is simple, she doesn't have anything, just a gold collar."
Baochai supported the Fujin collar and said, "Just this collar, it's an auspicious word given by a monk who relies on his head. Let it be engraved on the gold vessel. Otherwise, I won't take it with you if it's heavy. Speaking of which, the monk with the scarlet head will give it back to you." It’s kind of miraculous that a prescription for me cured the disease.”
She thought that Lin Jiang, as a person who was gifted with medical skills, should also be interested in the prescriptions given by heaven, so she waited for Lin Jiang to ask questions, so as to break the ice on this topic.
"Monk with a scarlet head?" Lin Jiangsha had something to do: "That's not the case. The sacred statue of the monk who taught me medical skills back then was so celestial that I dare not look directly at it." Then he turned to persuade Baochai: "Miss Xue has a heart. It's too big, you dare to use the prescription given by the monk with scarlet head? If he really has a good prescription, why doesn't he cure his own scarlet head?"
Baochai: For a moment I had nothing to say.
Fortunately, Lin Jiang quickly changed the subject by himself, turned his jewel ring and said to Baochai, "I wonder if Miss Xue's golden lock can be shown to me."
Baochai untied the golden lock, Lin Jiang took it over to look at it, and read aloud: "Never leave, never give up, and you will live forever."
Daiyu was still concentrating on reading beside her.
Lin Jiang saw that Daiyu didn't respond to this sentence, so he didn't know if she didn't pay attention to Baoyu, or didn't pay attention to Baoyu's piece of jade.
She didn't engage in guesswork, and turned directly to Daiyu and asked, "Sister, do you think this sentence is very familiar, as if you have heard it before."
Daiyu thought for a while: "No, if I read it in the book, I will remember it."
Lin Jiang nodded: Very good, sister Lin is so careless about Baoyu.
However, Daiyu didn't say anything, and Ying'er, who was following Baochai, said, "Doctor Lin feels familiar. Maybe he has seen or heard about the jade of Second Master Bao? The jade that Second Master Bao brought in his mouth On it is engraved with the words 'Don't Lose, Never Forget Immortal Shouhengchang.'"
"Yinger!" Baochai stopped Yinger.
Lin Jiang returned the jade, still with the half-smile tone: "Why does Miss Bao scold the servant girl, this sounds like a couple."
Daiyu put the book down and said: "Then it's no wonder Miss Xue is going to Beijing to live in Rongguo Mansion. It can be seen that the fate is guaranteed after being separated by thousands of miles." Let’s move things, I’ll go and have a look.”
Madam Xia was sure that Lin Ruhai was going to pick up the girls, and now she started packing the boxes.
Lin Jiang nodded: "Okay, my sister went to have a look, and it happened to be lunch time when I came back."
After Baochai heard this, he really couldn't sit down anymore, and if he sat down again, it would seem like he was going to eat.
After Baochai left, Lin Jiang shook his head: Actually, Xue Baochai really didn't need to come this trip. From now on, once they move out, Daiyu and Jia Baoyu will have no chance at all.
It is not them that Baochai should attack, but Jia Mu.
When Lin Ruhai left the palace, it was already dusk.
The first day back to Beijing was not peaceful at all for Lin Ruhai, but in one afternoon, he was frightened three times in front of the imperial court.
First, he mistakenly thought that the emperor was going to give Daiyu to the eldest prince, and Lin Ruhai had the idea of breaking the boat at the time: it wasn't that their father and daughter were going to die, but that they had a rare kind of hostility, and they were going to use all the evidence of crimes they collected and Use all the connections you can, bring down the eldest prince, and let him sink to death!
Fortunately, the disgusting misunderstanding was resolved quickly, but poor Lin Ruhai received two more shocking gift packages.
The two girls of the Lin family were actually arranged by the emperor to get married.
My own daughter and Prince Shao's son, my niece and the commander of Long Jinwei? !Lin Ruhai knew these people, but it was the first time that they got involved in this way.
So much so that his mind went blank for a moment, and then his first reaction was: No wonder Commander Wei was so polite to me outside! !
After the emperor threw down the two heavy news, he calmed down his emotions lightly, and only said: The Qing family naturally needs to think more about the important matter of marriage.
Then he turned around and asked about the salt administration.
Although Lin Ruhai said he was upset, he was skilled in government affairs, especially the preparation for the emperor's interview for a long time. It can be said that he knew everything by heart, so when the emperor asked him, he answered each one truthfully and proficiently, and gave the emperor a satisfactory answer sheet .
Then he left the palace in shock.
This shock lasted for a long time, until the carriage arrived in front of Rongguo Mansion, he reluctantly collected his mind and prepared to deal with this end first - Jia Mu is his elder mother-in-law, it is not easy to deal with, since he is going to take away his daughter, this is A tough fight.
When he got out of the carriage, he saw Jia Zhen and Jia Lian waiting outside the door, sending him all the way to Rongxi Hall. After Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng exchanged warm greetings with his brother-in-law, the two accompanied him to meet Jia's mother in person.
Because of the difference in status between men and women, the wives of Xing and Wang and their family members did not show up. Only Jia's mother sat on the right seat and waited.
Lin Ruhai calmed down and stepped forward to meet Jia Mu.
Since she was promoted to the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, she no longer had the benefit of being able to come to work the next day when she first joined the job.Now she is the same as the original Qin Yuanzheng, going to the palace to report every day, and only resting one day every ten days.
Lin Jiang deeply felt that the increased salary by one level could not make up for her pain of getting up early every day to enter the palace.
However, in her position to seek her own government, the emperor gave her a decent official position under the pressure of public opinion, and she had to work conscientiously, not to be blamed by others, to live up to the emperor's extraordinary appointment, let alone to the system and herself along the way. The adventure that came was hard.
Therefore, on the second day, when Jia Yuanchun was ordered to leave the palace, she had no chance to see him in person.
I had no choice but to come back from get off work and listen to Madam Xia's narration: Everyone in the mansion, starting from Jiamu, cried into a ball.The real reason for this crying can't be explained clearly, so I had to cry while thanking the emperor for reuniting them, so I couldn't help crying in surprise.
On the contrary, Madam Xing, after crying with Rong Qing Tang, immediately changed into a smiling face, non-stop came to Lanzhi Courtyard to congratulate Dai Yu, and inquired about the exact time when aunt Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing.
Nanny Xia pointed to the seat under Lin Jiang: "The eldest lady sat here talking and laughing for half an hour before leaving."
Lin Jiang was overjoyed when he heard it.
Mrs. Xing is really a god-man, always out of tune with the rest of the Jia family.
But she forgot that not everyone in this mansion will be gloomy because of Yuanchun—for example, Mrs. Jia Shexing and Mrs. Jia Shexing, the eldest house, just like it more: the second room originally lived in Rongxi Hall, and was the master of the house for the eldest house. If there is another imperial concubine, will they give up the Rongxi hall in their lifetime?
It's better that Yuanchun has no hope, even if the family is less dependent on the glory, it's better than Erfang has been occupying the magpie's nest all the time.
The Dafang is still looking forward to Jia Lian's stable happiness, the day when he moves into the Rongxi Hall.
In August, when golden osmanthus was fragrant, Lin Ruhai went to Beijing by order, and disembarked at Guan Wharf after noon.
It has been three years since he came to Beijing last time.
Goodbye to the bustling and grand occasion of the capital, even better than before, Lin Ruhai felt comforted by her patriotic heart.
He returned to Beijing alone three years ago, and of course he went to Rongguo Mansion to visit his mother-in-law.At that time, Jia Min's three-year mourning period had not yet passed, Daiyu was still young, and Lin Ruhai was treated by Lin Jiang again, and she recovered to be able to take care of her daughter on her own, so she refused to send Daiyu to Beijing. Anyhow.
When he came to Beijing to pay a visit, and once he left Beijing to say goodbye, Jia's mother wept unceasingly in front of him, and she kept saying that she wanted to see "her poor granddaughter Daiyu".
Those who didn't know thought Lin Ruhai was a stepfather.
But this time, Lin Ruhai didn't know what Jiamu would tell him: as far as he knew from Nanny Xia and Fan Xiaoqing, her daughter's life in Rongguo Mansion was not very satisfactory.
The position of inspector of salt and censor had already been handed over, Lin Ruhai thought in his heart, no matter what position the emperor gave him, whether he stayed in Beijing or was sent abroad, he would always take his daughter away from Rongguo Mansion.
The only thing that worried Lin Ruhai very much was that Lin Jiang definitely couldn't leave the capital.
Lin Ruhai couldn't sleep at the thought of leaving her alone in Beijing, or staying in Shenshen Imperial City, letting her sit in the imperial hospital with a girl's family.Along the way, I thought about it in Beijing, and even moved to find old teachers, old relatives and friends after entering Beijing, and find connections to stay in the capital as an official to protect my niece.
However, these visits to relatives and friends are things for later. As the former inspector of salt and censor, Lin Ruhai's first thing in Beijing was to hand over his son to the palace to see him.
Before seeing the emperor, he should avoid seeing any officials in the capital.
Given his official position and the importance of reporting, as long as the emperor has no major affairs today, he will definitely be summoned.Therefore, Lin Ruhai even changed into his official robes on the boat.
Sure enough, the emperor directly agreed to his request to see Zhezi, and summoned him to enter the palace immediately to meet His Majesty in Mingzheng Palace.
As soon as Lin Ruhai stepped into the palace gate, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
He said he was familiar because Lin Jiang had stayed in his house for three years, and in Lin Ruhai's heart she was another daughter. Even though he hadn't seen her for many years, her appearance hadn't faded in the memory, and she recognized her from a distance.
But at first glance, it was also unfamiliar: I saw Lin Jiang wearing a blue official robe, a black belt with jade inlaid buttons around his waist, with a bright smile and a broad expression, and he really had the heroic spirit of being an official in charge of a department. , It's not like the girl's family described it back then.
"uncle!"
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile, but he asked with concern: "Why are you waiting for me at the palace gate at this hour? Your Majesty Long En, I promise you that you are a doctor in the hospital. You should be on duty with all your heart, and you must not be proud... "
Lin Jiang began to circle around in front of his eyes: Lin Ruhai is the most standard Confucian official with great ambitions. He is knowledgeable and easy to talk about the truth, and he can talk about it until tomorrow morning.
In comparison, the system's father can be called a hare-style management in this respect. He will just throw money directly when he sees her, and doesn't care what she does. As long as the system's reputation is rising, the system will be a pleasant and satisfied father. Great.
Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, follows precepts and deeds, and must start from the little things, so that the children can feel the father's love from the details.
The two are completely opposite.
So Lin Jiang hurriedly begged for mercy and stopped: "Stop reading, uncle. It is His Majesty's permission for me to pick you up."
That's all for Lin Ruhai.
Besides, Lin Jiang’s coming here was indeed allowed by the emperor——the emperor had something on his mind. He wanted to take away his two daughters from the Lin family. Of course, he had to be more kind to the head of the family, Lin Ruhai. Pick up my uncle one by one, to show how important and magnanimous he is as an emperor.
Lin Ruhai was still sympathetic to Lin Jiang's new official appointment, and refused to let her stay with him to delay official duties. He just said: "Your Majesty is very gracious, please come and see me first. It's just a one-time meeting. You can go back and be on duty."
He can be said to be earnest: "You are newly appointed as the principal, and you have countless pairs of eyes looking at you, so you must be careful in everything."
Lin Ruhai has his own sources of information. Since he received the call to go to Beijing to report on his work, Lin Ruhai has paid more attention to collecting some new official situations in Beijing and China in recent years.
There is also something related to Lin Jiang here.
A year ago, the emperor made an exception to appoint a young girl to be an imperial physician, but now she is promoted to the head of the hospital, and a woman is in charge of the hospital!I can't sit still if I have a censor, and I feel that if I don't impeach, I will be sorry for the chair under my buttocks.
Very much, he wrote a book on the principle of women being chaste, quiet and virtuous, and also mentioned some old events such as the banning of female doctors in imperial hospitals.
It's just that the censor was directly rejected by the emperor, and he was scorned by Prince Shao in court, so the others could see clearly what His Majesty was thinking, and for the time being, he didn't dare to rant anymore.
But when Lin Ruhai learned about this, she couldn't help telling Lin Jiang to be cautious in her words and deeds. The more the emperor uses protection, the less she can make mistakes by herself, so as not to slap the emperor in the face.
Lin Jiang looked at Lin Ruhai at close range, saw that his body was bright white, and he was obviously in good health, so he didn't insist on following him.
What's more, I couldn't resist Lin Ruhai's instruction, and quickly said, "Don't read it, master, don't read it anymore", and I will go back to the Taiyuan Hospital to work diligently, and serve the motherland with my head hanging on the beam and my ass. Please rest assured my uncle.
Only then was Lin Ruhai satisfied.
After that, he followed the little eunuch all the way to Mingzheng Palace.
Before Lin Ruhai entered the main palace of the Ming Dynasty, he first met a young man in the uniform of the Dragon Guard and wearing a waist knife.
Looking at his uniform as a third-rank military officer, and thinking that he is less than 20 years old, Lin Ruhai knew that this person should be the new commander of Long Jinwei, Wei Ren.
From what Lin Ruhai heard about the court situation, this person is the emperor's confidant and a rising star.
Wei Ren waited for Lin Ruhai here on purpose.He first met Lin Ruhai under the official ceremony, and then personally led him all the way into the Mingzheng Palace. He spoke and acted like a filial son and nephew, and Lin Ruhai couldn't make it up: Isn't it the first time we meet?
Moreover, the Lord Yuqianwei that Lin Ruhai had heard about was not a temperament with a wide range of friends, but a cold and stern temper.It is said that when he led his troops to Prince Jian's mansion to reduce the guards, his evil spirit was so severe that Prince Jian thought that the emperor wanted to take revenge and ransack the house.
In this way, Wei Ren sent Lin Ruhai respectfully all the way to the steps of the main hall of Mingzheng Palace.
And the thrush father-in-law was already waiting there.
Lin Ruhai was more impressed with this Eunuch Bai.He is someone the emperor has always used. Everyone knows that he is the emperor's first confidant eunuch who is extremely rigid and refusing to associate with the officials.
However, this time, Lin Ruhai saw this Eunuch Bai, who had a face like a wood carving, suddenly smiled to himself: "Master Lin is here, let's go in and report back, sir, please wait here."
Lin Ruhai: What's going on with the sudden coolness behind me.
Before seeing the emperor himself, Lin Ruhai's mood was a little fluctuated by the enthusiasm of the two cold-faced confidantes of the legendary Yuqian.
Because he had just been disgusted by the eldest prince for half a year in Jiangnan, he felt a little nervous.
At this moment, not only did he not feel like a spring breeze, but he also felt that if things were abnormal, there must be a demon, and the demon wind was blowing.
Such an ominous premonition was confirmed after seeing the emperor.
Three years ago, when Lin Ruhai reported on his duties, the emperor had a completely business-like attitude. After reviewing his work report, he was asked to report to the Supreme Emperor again, and he never summoned him alone after that.
It can be said that the friendship between the monarch and his ministers is as pale as water.
However, this time, when the emperor saw him, he ordered the palace servants to serve good tea, and then said to Lin Ruhai with emotion: "I haven't seen you for three years, and Lin Qing still has the same demeanor."
Your Majesty, this is the pure Zhou family's emotion: King Shao recently talked about the matter of improving his appearance, and he couldn't help mentioning that Lin Ruhai was a handsome man in the past. That's why the Emperor said this, praising them, which the Zhou family has never had in the past. looks.
However, when Lin Ruhai heard it, he felt hot in his ears, and immediately said that the emperor was the one with a beautiful face, a radiant face, a healthy body, and a majestic aura of the emperor.
Lin Ruhai is not lying. Compared with three years ago, the current emperor is full of vigor and high spirits. He is obviously three years older, but his complexion is better and he looks younger.
The emperor has indeed grown inversely: firstly, he got rid of all his stubborn illnesses, and he achieved physical well-being physically; secondly, he moved up to Mount Tai and turned himself over psychologically, so naturally his energy and spirit were completely different.
Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, the emperor smiled: "It's also due to your Lin family having a daughter."
Lin Ruhai also took advantage of this to express his feelings to the emperor, only saying that Lin Jiang had a hard life since he was a child. He was born without a mother, and his father still devoted himself to visiting immortals.After being taught by the divine monk, the child has only been immersed in the way of medicine since she was a child, and she is not familiar with the world and the world. I just beg the emperor, if she behaves inappropriately, please forgive me.
The emperor listened to the poor life described by Lin Ruhai, and compared it with a bright smile every day, it seemed that Lin Jiang, whose life was made of honey, was hard to blend into the same person in his heart.
However, the emperor still nodded very generously, saying that I am an extraordinary man, and you can choose and employ talents without sticking to one pattern, so you can rest assured.
Now that the two of them had come to this point, the emperor simply said: "A year ago, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the girl from the Qing family came to the palace to pay her respects, and she was very fond of the empress mother. I wonder if the Qing family intends to marry the royal family?"
There is a difference between closeness and closeness. The first thing the emperor mentioned to Lin Ruhai was of course his own daughter's marriage.
What's more, in the eyes of the emperor, this marriage is relatively stable: Zhou Liheng is a well-off son-in-law, Wei Ren is weaker in terms of family background, I'm afraid Lin Ruhai is not willing.
Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, he is going to throw out the good marriage of Prince Shao's mansion first, and then escort a guard.
However, as soon as he said this, Lin Ruhai's entire face turned pale.
Marrying an in-law with the royal family, he immediately thought of the eldest prince who was hopping around in the south of the Yangtze River!
The eldest prince's behavior in Jiangnan was so vile that he himself impeached him, yet the emperor still intends to give him a marriage!This is really deceptive!
He bowed his head and saluted, suppressing himself not to show an expression of displeasure, and said: "Back to the emperor, how can I be worthy of joining the royal family with the quality of my daughter Pu Liu. Besides, I only have this one daughter, and I only hope for the reunion of father and daughter, not Beside, I beg the emperor to take back the grace."
The emperor Longyan was surprised: Huh?Have I been declined?
He subconsciously frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "This is one of the best children in my great Zhou royal family, Lin Qing is not willing to promise a daughter?"
Lin Ruhai was about to vomit blood in his heart, just the eldest prince, or the best boy in the Da Zhou family?It's going to be cold after the big week.
There were still 1 earnest faces on the face, and he immediately expressed that the minister did not dare, saying that the minister's daughter was not worthy.
The authorities are confused by the onlookers, the emperor and Lin Ruhai are talking with each other here, but the father-in-law Thrush, as the person who passed the important news, immediately understood the meaning of the two parties, no, your Majesty and Lin Ruhai have gone too far!
In order to prevent Mr. Lin from annoying the emperor, Eunuch Thrush stood up in time and said to Lin Ruhai, "Master Lin must have heard some rumors in Beijing and felt that Prince Shao's son is not destined to be a good match for marriage, so he is so unwilling. Mr. Lin needs to know. Those are all false rumors in the market, how can they be taken seriously for deliberately arranging Prince Shao's mansion."
His voice fell on the word Shaowang.
Lin Ruhai: King Shao?King Shao? ! !
The emperor's dissatisfaction dissipated a bit: Also, thinking about his little cousin's pitiful trip to talk about marriage, it is indeed suspicious.
A woman's boudoir name is important, if she says she can't get married, she will definitely suffer gossip, Lin Ruhai has such concerns and declines because of her kind father's heart.
The emperor also said: "How can the rumors be taken seriously?" Although he was a little guilty when he said this, he still said righteously: "Your words are strange, and Lin Qing's niece is the director of my imperial hospital. If Wang Shizi gets sick any more, just let her go and treat him, so why should Lin Qing worry too much."
Lin Ruhai was in a brainstorm: I need to think about it for a while... Yu'er and Shao Wang's son, where did this marriage come from?
While he was still digesting the first accident, the emperor had already started talking about the second one.
The emperor tried his best to put on a pleasant smile: "Since I mentioned my new appointment as the principal, I still have a marriage that I want to discuss with Lin Qing."
Lin Ruhai looked up in a daze: "Please tell me, Your Majesty."
The emperor pointed out the window: "Lin Qing has just seen the commander of my Imperial Imperial Commander Long Ban, what do you think?"
Lin Ruhai was still deep in the brainstorm, but subconsciously praised: "The emperor has blue eyes, so he is a young talent."
Emperor: That's what I want.
The emperor showed a kind smile on his face: "Since Lin Qing's family thinks that he is a young talent, they must think that he can be your niece and son-in-law."
Just now she was rejected by Lin Ruhai, which left a shadow on the emperor, so she started the routine directly.
Lin Ruhai:? ? ?
Eunuch Huamei looked at him and felt sorry for him: Mr. Lin is really suffering. He just entered Beijing, and he has suffered so many blows in his heart this afternoon.
--
In addition, the news that Lin Ruhai arrived in the capital and had entered the palace to meet His Majesty soon spread to Rongguo Mansion.
Mother Jia immediately asked people to get ready, waiting for the long-lost son-in-law to come to the door.
My son-in-law is a distinguished guest, so Jia She and Jia Zheng, the two brothers-in-law, naturally prepared a banquet for my brother-in-law in the front yard.
Rongguo Mansion was in full swing, waiting to welcome Lin Ruhai.
It's just that when Lin Jiangdu got off work and returned to Rongguo Mansion, it was almost time for dinner, but Lin Ruhai still didn't come out of the palace.
Jia Mu couldn't help being anxious: something happened in the palace.
Jia Zheng came to Rongqing hall to comfort him: "Mother, don't worry, my brother-in-law will enter the palace in the afternoon. The salt administration is an important matter, and the emperor may stay a little longer to ask questions."
Jia's mother nodded, and then asked Jia Zheng: "Do you remember what I said to you before?" She only thinks about her younger sister who also came from the royal family."
Jia Mu frowned: "You are Baoyu's father, it is enough for you to understand."
Before Lin Ruhai entered Beijing, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng agreed for the first time, and wanted Jia Baoyu to hurry up to make up lessons and try to perform well in front of Lin Ruhai.
It is rare for Jia Zheng to have the full support of Jia's mother, so he was ecstatic and dragged Baoyu out to repair it.
Mrs. Wang heard Jia Zheng say a few times that she wanted Jia Baoyu to read some books in a good life, so that she wouldn't feel a little uneasy after losing face in front of her uncle, so she couldn't help testing Jia Zheng's words of "a good match".
Who knew that she hadn't started persuading her yet, but just mentioning a good relationship, Jia Zheng exploded, saying: Don't even think about it!
Let's say that Jia Zheng's lifelong dream is to become an official through the imperial examination.
Rongguo Mansion is the home of military generals, and Jia Zheng especially thinks it is not enough, and wants to move closer to the scholarly family, forcing his sons to read sage books, let alone a merchant like the Xue family.
"What a golden and jade marriage, gold and silver vulgar objects, how can there be a scholarly fragrance and elegance."
Mrs. Wang was angry: You don’t need money for food and drink. Why don’t you drink the northwest wind?
The husband and wife usually treat each other with respect, but it is rare for them to argue about something that is not Jia Baoyu, so they ask Aunt Zhao who lives in the side room to listen.
Besides, Aunt Zhao is the most different from the rest of the Jia family. Everyone in the house thinks that Miss Lin is of high status, but Aunt Zhao prefers Xue Baochai because Lin Daiyu has never seen her in her eyes.
The servants would try to please Lanzhiyuan, thinking that Lanzhiyuan was generous, but Aunt Zhao regarded herself as a serious elder, and she felt that Lanzhiyuan should respect her.
But how Daiyu sees people like Aunt Zhao is not only due to the difference in status, but also Aunt Zhao is not respected by others.Therefore, if Daiyu didn't show dislike or dislike, it was because of Tanchun's face, and she would not treat her as a serious elder, so remember to give her some gifts.
But Baochai is different, she never forgets Aunt Zhao's side, and there is always something to send during festivals.
The things he gave were just right, and he fulfilled his etiquette, without causing Madam Wang's dissatisfaction.
This is also a basic operation of Baochai.
Therefore, Aunt Zhao heard Jia Zheng's meaning of not allowing a good marriage, and saw that Jia Zheng recently forced Jia Baoyu to read a book and said that he wanted to see the old lady. Xialin girl?
That girl Lin came from a prosperous family, her father was a high-ranking official, and her elder sister was also the head of the imperial hospital. There was no one in her eyes. Wouldn't she and Jia Huan be kicked out in the future?
It's better for Miss Bao to get started. Her Xue family has only money but no power, and she is friendly with others. At that time, Huan'er can get a lot of money from her.
Of course, Aunt Zhao's plan to plot against Baochai is also a daydream.
But Baochai at least gave her the illusion of dreaming, and Aunt Zhao felt suffocated whenever she thought of Lin Daiyu.
So at night, he quietly asked the little maid to send the news to Lixiangyuan.
--
On this day, when Lin Jiang came back from the palace, she was about to go to Daiyu's room: Wei Ren told her that the emperor kept Lin Ruhai for dinner.She was going to tell Daiyu so that Daiyu would not be worried all the time.
As soon as Lin Jiang took a step, Baoshi hurriedly said, "Miss Xue is in Miss Lin's room."
"Huh? Did you come here by visiting?" Lin Jiang knew that Xue Baochai was famously fond of visiting in Jia's house, but she rarely came to Lanzhi Courtyard: After all, Xue's family planned to seize the business of Lin's family, but she was pushed back before it was won. , Anyone with some brains will not rush to the bad luck, so as not to look at other people's faces.
Sure enough, after that incident, Xue Baochai never went to Lanzhi Courtyard again.
Why did he suddenly come here again?
Baoshi knew the inside story very well, and while tidying Lin Jiang's clothes, he said, "It's about a year and a half later, and the girl is quite kind to Lian's second grandma, and it's not because Lian's second grandma came from the Wang family. But to vent your anger, Miss Bao thinks that you are well-mannered, so you can come and walk around."
"Furthermore, now is the right time to come to congratulate—the master is coming to Beijing today, and the grandmothers and girls of the same generation have all come to our Lanzhi Courtyard to congratulate in person, so Miss Xue will come here just to take advantage of this event. "
Lin Jiang nodded: "Let's go, since that's the case, let's go see Miss Xue too."
She walked through the main hall, came to Daiyu's bedroom and lifted the curtain to go in. Sure enough, she saw Baochai and Daiyu sitting and talking.
Seeing her come in, Baochai got up first and smiled and said: "Yuan Lin is returning home. It is hard work to get up early to enter the palace and return in the evening." Her tone was natural and friendly, as if the Xue and Lin families had never had any quarrels. As if the Xue family had never snatched any business, Lin Changzhou didn't slap the Xue family backhand, and wiped away all their tickets for going to sea.
Speaking of acting, the Lin family was trained by the Supreme Emperor.
Baochai pretends to be nothing, and she, who has not suffered a loss, is even more so.
Lin Jiang smiled, went to sit next to Daiyu, and took the tea offered by Xueyan: "The holy fate is like this, so there is no such thing as hard work."
Lin Jiang and Baochai have nothing to say.
Baochai is obviously here to manage the relationship, but Lin Jiang doesn't want to be arranged by the management.
In the end, for a person like Baochai, as long as she is stronger than her, what she thinks is not about harming others, but about employing them.In her eyes, people in this world don't like or dislike affectionately, but are useful or useless.
Even if it is ruthless, it is also touching.
It is she who is ruthless, and it is others who move.It's a pity that Lin Jiang is not someone else, and he doesn't like being manipulated.
So Lin Jiang just sat there, didn't take the initiative to speak, just played with the cup in his hand, and played for a while before handing the empty teacup to Xueyan, asking for a cup of tea.
While Baochai was beside him, he chatted with Daiyu for a few words, then looked at Lin Jiang carefully, trying to find something to talk about.
This is really looking for.I saw that the doctor Xiaolin took off his official uniform and changed into his daughter's dress, but it was resplendent and resplendent.With a slight movement, a few jewel hairpins and red pearl flowers on her head will shine, and she also wears a ruby bracelet and a set of rings on her hands—these gems are of good quality, matching the red silk dress on her body. The color, the light flows and shines.
Even if she sat a little farther away, Baochai felt that it was quite dazzling, so she said earnestly and sincerely like a confidant sister: "Lin Yuanzheng was born rich and powerful, and also holds an official position, so it's fine to dress like this in the mansion. Keep it simple so that people don’t gossip about corruption behind their backs.”
Lin Jiang thought: Ah, it's up to me?
Daiyu frowned slightly at the side, but spoke first: "People may not have such thoughts as Miss Xue."
Baochai's expression didn't change, she just smiled and looked at Daiyu like a child having a temper tantrum, and said kindly: "Sister Lin is overthinking what she said, I'm just thinking about myself and others, I'm just caring for Doctor Lin Thinking about it. If you are not happy to hear it, I won’t say it.”
Lin Jiang pulled down La Daiyu's clothes from the table, and shook her head slightly.She wasn't afraid that Daiyu would lose verbally, but for someone like Baochai, it's useless if you win.
After all, Baochai is calm and calm, and what she says has her own purpose, not to argue with anyone.
But Daiyu is different, she values affection, and her mood fluctuates greatly.In particular, I can't see the people I care about being wronged.
Daiyu felt that Lin Jiang was pulling her, so she simply stopped talking, got up and walked to the case, took a book to read.
Seeing Daiyu walk away, Baochai just smiled as usual, and even shook her head, as if she was helpless at Daiyu's waywardness.
Lin Jiang: Admiration, what a master.It's a pity that such an expert doesn't fight with others in the palace.There is no opponent for her out there.
Seeing Baochai like this, Lin Jiang looked up and down with a half-smile, and said, "Ms. Xue's body is simple, she doesn't have anything, just a gold collar."
Baochai supported the Fujin collar and said, "Just this collar, it's an auspicious word given by a monk who relies on his head. Let it be engraved on the gold vessel. Otherwise, I won't take it with you if it's heavy. Speaking of which, the monk with the scarlet head will give it back to you." It’s kind of miraculous that a prescription for me cured the disease.”
She thought that Lin Jiang, as a person who was gifted with medical skills, should also be interested in the prescriptions given by heaven, so she waited for Lin Jiang to ask questions, so as to break the ice on this topic.
"Monk with a scarlet head?" Lin Jiangsha had something to do: "That's not the case. The sacred statue of the monk who taught me medical skills back then was so celestial that I dare not look directly at it." Then he turned to persuade Baochai: "Miss Xue has a heart. It's too big, you dare to use the prescription given by the monk with scarlet head? If he really has a good prescription, why doesn't he cure his own scarlet head?"
Baochai: For a moment I had nothing to say.
Fortunately, Lin Jiang quickly changed the subject by himself, turned his jewel ring and said to Baochai, "I wonder if Miss Xue's golden lock can be shown to me."
Baochai untied the golden lock, Lin Jiang took it over to look at it, and read aloud: "Never leave, never give up, and you will live forever."
Daiyu was still concentrating on reading beside her.
Lin Jiang saw that Daiyu didn't respond to this sentence, so he didn't know if she didn't pay attention to Baoyu, or didn't pay attention to Baoyu's piece of jade.
She didn't engage in guesswork, and turned directly to Daiyu and asked, "Sister, do you think this sentence is very familiar, as if you have heard it before."
Daiyu thought for a while: "No, if I read it in the book, I will remember it."
Lin Jiang nodded: Very good, sister Lin is so careless about Baoyu.
However, Daiyu didn't say anything, and Ying'er, who was following Baochai, said, "Doctor Lin feels familiar. Maybe he has seen or heard about the jade of Second Master Bao? The jade that Second Master Bao brought in his mouth On it is engraved with the words 'Don't Lose, Never Forget Immortal Shouhengchang.'"
"Yinger!" Baochai stopped Yinger.
Lin Jiang returned the jade, still with the half-smile tone: "Why does Miss Bao scold the servant girl, this sounds like a couple."
Daiyu put the book down and said: "Then it's no wonder Miss Xue is going to Beijing to live in Rongguo Mansion. It can be seen that the fate is guaranteed after being separated by thousands of miles." Let’s move things, I’ll go and have a look.”
Madam Xia was sure that Lin Ruhai was going to pick up the girls, and now she started packing the boxes.
Lin Jiang nodded: "Okay, my sister went to have a look, and it happened to be lunch time when I came back."
After Baochai heard this, he really couldn't sit down anymore, and if he sat down again, it would seem like he was going to eat.
After Baochai left, Lin Jiang shook his head: Actually, Xue Baochai really didn't need to come this trip. From now on, once they move out, Daiyu and Jia Baoyu will have no chance at all.
It is not them that Baochai should attack, but Jia Mu.
When Lin Ruhai left the palace, it was already dusk.
The first day back to Beijing was not peaceful at all for Lin Ruhai, but in one afternoon, he was frightened three times in front of the imperial court.
First, he mistakenly thought that the emperor was going to give Daiyu to the eldest prince, and Lin Ruhai had the idea of breaking the boat at the time: it wasn't that their father and daughter were going to die, but that they had a rare kind of hostility, and they were going to use all the evidence of crimes they collected and Use all the connections you can, bring down the eldest prince, and let him sink to death!
Fortunately, the disgusting misunderstanding was resolved quickly, but poor Lin Ruhai received two more shocking gift packages.
The two girls of the Lin family were actually arranged by the emperor to get married.
My own daughter and Prince Shao's son, my niece and the commander of Long Jinwei? !Lin Ruhai knew these people, but it was the first time that they got involved in this way.
So much so that his mind went blank for a moment, and then his first reaction was: No wonder Commander Wei was so polite to me outside! !
After the emperor threw down the two heavy news, he calmed down his emotions lightly, and only said: The Qing family naturally needs to think more about the important matter of marriage.
Then he turned around and asked about the salt administration.
Although Lin Ruhai said he was upset, he was skilled in government affairs, especially the preparation for the emperor's interview for a long time. It can be said that he knew everything by heart, so when the emperor asked him, he answered each one truthfully and proficiently, and gave the emperor a satisfactory answer sheet .
Then he left the palace in shock.
This shock lasted for a long time, until the carriage arrived in front of Rongguo Mansion, he reluctantly collected his mind and prepared to deal with this end first - Jia Mu is his elder mother-in-law, it is not easy to deal with, since he is going to take away his daughter, this is A tough fight.
When he got out of the carriage, he saw Jia Zhen and Jia Lian waiting outside the door, sending him all the way to Rongxi Hall. After Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng exchanged warm greetings with his brother-in-law, the two accompanied him to meet Jia's mother in person.
Because of the difference in status between men and women, the wives of Xing and Wang and their family members did not show up. Only Jia's mother sat on the right seat and waited.
Lin Ruhai calmed down and stepped forward to meet Jia Mu.
