[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Lin Ruhai had only heard in the past that King Shao was a quick-tempered person.

But this time, he saw it with his own eyes.

Originally, the two families were tentatively scheduled for the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of the second lunar month. According to the etiquette in the palace, they would let their children meet each other.Unexpectedly, when Lin Ruhai entered the palace on the fourth day of the lunar new year to report to the emperor about the etiquette of worshiping ancestors during the Lantern Festival, he was stopped by Prince Shao again.

"Lin Shangshu, why don't we two meet tomorrow instead?"

Seeing Lin Ruhai's shocked face, Shao Wang quickly explained: "I was reckless last time, and the princess who returned to the mansion complained to me: February [-]th is your daughter's birthday, and the girl's birthday, so I need to invite some relatives and sisters to accompany her." I heard from the princess that the princess of Prince Xiang's Mansion also has a good relationship with Ling Ai and Lin Yuanzheng, and she had already agreed to play."

"If it is fixed on that day, wouldn't it mess up your daughter's birthday."

Prince Shao smiled: "Besides, it's such a good thing, hurry up sooner rather than later, tomorrow will be a good day in the almanac, I just went to Guanxing Pavilion, tomorrow is especially suitable to visit relatives and friends."

Lin Ruhai: ...

Fortunately, according to the customs of Da Zhou, if the two families discuss relatives, the man will move forward because he values ​​the woman's family, and King Shao's move is not considered out of courtesy, even for this day, the date is too close.

Lin Ruhai looked at King Shao, recalled the emperor's repeated urging to him, and thought: These two uncles and nephews really look alike.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the day to welcome the God of Wealth, Shao Wang and his wife once again brought their son in a low-key and gorgeous manner, and the family of three visited Lin Mansion.

The difference from the last time is that Lin Changzhou has also returned to the capital now, and accompanied Lin Ruhai to welcome Prince Shao and his son, mainly because he wanted to meet Zhou Liheng.

Lin Changzhou became a little interested: Lin Jiang praised the Prince Shao's son as beautiful as heaven and earth, and he really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Thinking that he has gone through all ages, dynasties and dynasties in the world, he has never seen any beauty, even Pan An who is throwing a cart full of fruits, he has not never seen it with his own eyes.

Until meeting Zhou Liheng, Lin Changzhou somewhat understood what Lin Jiang meant.

This eldest son is a rare beautiful boy, but what is even rarer is the feeling of tenderness and healing.

Zhou Liheng met the two Uncle Lin as a junior, and then sat next to him with some anxiety, not as calm as when he came to visit before - from what his parents said, he was arranged to meet Miss Lin today.

Before coming, King Shao threatened him: "Shangshu Lin is the only daughter, she looks like eyes. Don't look at him now that he is a little loose in his intention to marry him. If you don't behave well today, let Miss Lin tell you. One word 'no', I think you'll die."

This made Zhou Liheng very nervous.

Princess Shao kept complaining to King Shao in the car: "Aren't you willing to say something nice to your son? I've never seen Heng'er pay attention to any clothes and accessories before, but this time it's good. You're scared. Change it this morning." She wore the waistband twice before she was willing to go out."

King Shao laughed loudly, and then said seriously: "This is not to scare him. You have never seen Lin Ruhai with your own eyes. He is really tough. For the sake of Lin Yuanzheng's marriage, he refused to accept the emperor's urging. Let go, let alone our family. If Heng'er really has something to look down on, or is a dude, he will try his best to offend Prince Shao's mansion, and he will definitely not agree to have a daughter."

Princess Shao thought for a while, and then exclaimed: "This is standing on the wall and being strong without desire. It can be seen from Lin Shangshu that power is secondary. Before the eldest prince went down to the south of the Yangtze River with great power, he looked like he was going to be a prince. The young official is in a daze, thinking of pleasing the future prince, but Lin Shangshu is not like that."

The couple naturally separated when they arrived at Lin's house.

Prince Shao got off the carriage at the entrance of the middle gate, and took his son through the wide-open main gate. Princess Shao's carriage didn't stop, and drove past from the side of the main gate, and went straight to the back.

Lin Jiang and Daiyu stood at the second gate and waited for Princess Shao.

It's cold winter, and it's New Year's Eve, both of them were wearing brightly colored cloaks. Princess Shao smiled as soon as she got off the carriage: "Just now, when they lifted the curtain, I looked at them, their eyes were so bright. It can be seen that the little girls really look the same every year." , it grows more and more."

Today Daiyu and Zhou Liheng had exactly the same thoughts, and were quite nervous, not knowing what would happen when the two met.

Prince Shao's son is certainly a good man with impeccable character, but can the two of them get along?Life will be long in the future, if the white head is like a new one, and each other does not understand each other's mind and nature, what's the fun of always talking to each other.

In Yu Daiyu's heart, she had helped Lin Jiang sort out two medical books, and she would naturally continue to do it in the future. This was something she felt was meaningful and worthy of a lot of hard work.

Princess Shao herself has signed her name and expressed her support for Daiyu.But Daiyu didn't know Zhou Liheng's own attitude.

There are so many men in this world who don't want their wives to show their talent, let alone their fame.

Therefore, Daiyu felt like a deer in her heart this day.

Lin Jiang knew that Daiyu was uneasy today, so she had already prepared herself to be in charge of the hot spot and speak in the middle.

Hearing Princess Shao praise them, Lin Jiang first smiled and said: "Who else dares to call glory in front of you, Princess? You get off the Zhuying Babao Chariot, just like Luoshen descending from the clouds."

No matter what status or age a woman loves to hear compliments on her looks.

What's more, Princess Shao is such a standard beauty, and Lin Jiang's praise is obviously sincere.

Princess Shao couldn't help but smile on her lips, she stretched out her hand and brought the two of them inside.

After entering the door, some maidservants came forward to spread the cloaks for everyone. Seeing Lin Jiang's clothes, Princess Shao couldn't help laughing and said, "Is this the bird gold fur sent by the Russian envoy this year?"

Lin Jiang nodded: "I got it when I entered the palace."

In the past, when I watched Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu's bird-gold fur was very famous.This one for her was given by the empress dowager, and it really is resplendent with gold and emerald, and the green color is shining.

Years ago, when Lin Jiang went to ask the empress dowager for pulse, the eldest princess bumped into her.At that time, she was wearing the blue official gown of the imperial hospital, and the dark brown two-color cloak.

When Princess Qi Yang saw her, she scolded and said: "A good girl, she is at the age of a flower bone, and she just got married, why is she dressed so old-fashioned and plain?"

Even she herself, even though the emperor's anniversary has not yet passed, and her long princess dress cannot be gorgeous, she is still luxurious and luxurious that can be seen by the naked eye.

Turning his head, he said to the queen mother: "I remember that there are some pieces of bird gold sent by the Russian envoy here. The emperor is kind and filial. This year's festivals in the palace are not allowed to sing and dance. The concubines and princesses in the palace also You can't even wear bright clothes."

"On the contrary, the Linyuan just made an appointment for a marriage, and it's a big happy event just in time for the Chinese New Year. It's just right for her to wear it."

The queen mother looked at the eldest princess and smiled: "You are better than anyone else at distributing things from the Ai family." The nurse Chang next to her said with a smile: "This is the bond between mother and daughter. Getting ready."

In order to express that this was not a casual scene, Nanny Chang personally took a little maid to the west side hall, but she came out with a sealed gift box after a while, which shows that she was indeed prepared.

The eldest princess just laughed: "I just said, what I can think of, what the queen mother can't think of."

Princess Qi Yang is a character who speaks quickly and dares to say anything. Pointing at Lin Jiang, she said to the queen mother with emotion: "Actually, I liked Lin Yuanzheng before, but it's a pity that she is a little girl in the boudoir, and I have another girl under my knee." It’s not good for a son who is not engaged to treat her especially well, and people will distort it and make up some nonsense that will delay the name of the girl’s family.”

The queen mother smiled: "From now on, I won't be afraid."

At this moment, Princess Shao saw Lin Jiang's bird's gold, and it happened to lead her to give Daiyu today, so she smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence, our family also got this bird's gold, and today I will give it to you." I brought one for each of you sisters."

The female official Hu behind her also brought two huge gift boxes with her maid.

Before Lin Jiang declined, Princess Shao said: "Keep it, if this dress is torn and there is no place to mend it, and during the New Year's Day, there will be lights everywhere, keep one for your sisters to replace."

After speaking, he only looked at Daiyu with a smile.

Lin Jiang discovered that there is a special advantage in getting married.

Ming Ming's age has not changed, and she is obviously not married yet, but all the wives have raised her to a higher level, no longer treating her as a shy boudoir lady, avoiding her by keeping her words secret, but classifying her as Returned to the diplomatic ranks of the ladies.

Those gossips that couldn't be said in front of the boudoir girl in the past can now lead her to communicate enthusiastically.

In the past, as a girl's family, she was not easy to do, and now she has relaxed a lot of boundaries.

For example, now, while she is sitting in Qing Mansion drinking tea, she is looking at Zhou Liheng and Daiyu who are sitting under the oil wall of the green window in the veranda from afar—if she hadn’t made a marriage agreement, she would definitely not be able to get the job of watching and escorting her like this on her.

Prince Shao's Mansion and the Lin family are people who care about their children.

It is useless to think that if the elders lead them to sit on the mat, it is useless to let the children look at each other from a distance and say a few polite words.They simply set up small tea seats under the veranda outside the banquet hall, so that the two of them could have a moment to really talk.

And Lin Jiang, who is not only the woman's sister, but also the director of the imperial hospital, is considered a colleague of Prince Shao's son, and is actually the most suitable 'guardian' to sit here.

Otherwise, whichever elder was present to accompany them would inevitably make the two children feel uncomfortable.

How to let the two meet each other happily under the rules of etiquette, the parents of the two families have taken great pains.

Lin Jiang sat far away holding a cup of hot tea, feeling pleasing to the eye.

The power of a beauty is to make people happy just standing there, not to mention the square of a beauty.

--

After Zhou Liheng and Daiyu met, they both remembered that time when they ran into the palace and mistook each other's identities.

Daiyu felt even more embarrassed when she thought of her calling her sister.

It was Zhou Liheng who spoke first: "I haven't apologized in person for the collision in the house before."

Daiyu was very nervous at first, but when she saw Zhou Liheng's eyes, Ming Zhanzhan looked at her, she suddenly calmed down.

It was like when she faced the pair of beautiful deer sent by Prince Shao's mansion during the Chinese New Year last year, it made her feel calm.

Then Zhou Liheng took the initiative to talk about his bewitching. For him, his father explained to Lin Shangshu that the truth that Lin Yuan was bringing back to the Lin family was one thing, and it was even more necessary for him to tell Daiyu the cause and effect.

If the two make a marriage agreement, Prince Shao's Mansion will also be Daiyu's home, and she should know the twists and turns inside.

He didn't put on any pretense, and quickly told the story of Prince Shao's mansion.

Afterwards, he said with a little sadness: "In the palace, among the royal family, the dispute between the son and the concubine has always been hard to guard against." He raised his head and looked at Daiyu: "I didn't come to this idea after I knew that I was killed by my elder brother. Yes - as far as I am concerned, I will not take concubines, and let my wife and son get into entanglements again in the future."

Daiyu heard Lin Jiang relay this sentence, but it was different from hearing Zhou Liheng say it himself.

His tone carried a kind of slow firmness and melancholy sadness.

That kind of firmness is reassuring, but when that kind of gloomy sadness appears on Zhou Liheng's face, it is heartbreaking.When Daiyu saw it, she felt uncomfortable for him without knowing it, and subconsciously comforted him: "Sister said that your body has not fully recovered, so don't be sad."

It was only later that he realized what he had said, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he lowered his head to look at the handkerchief.

Suddenly, I thought of Lin Jiang's joke when he was reading: beauty is also a kind of Gu.

When Zhou Liheng heard Daiyu's words of concern for him, a smile spread across his brows and eyes, as if the moonlight was clear.

With her caring words, he simply opened his heart and explained everything to Daiyu: "I know in my heart that my father always thinks that I am too soft-tempered."

He looked at the curling tea mist: "Actually, I just don't care - I will not harm others, and others will not take the initiative to harm me for the sake of Prince Shao's mansion. To me, people in the world just get along much better." Say a few words, and those who don't get along go away."

Daiyu was stunned: Zhou Liheng's words fit her heart and thoughts.

The world is bustling and bustling, day and night, she can see it clearly but never likes it.If there are two or three confidantes who can accompany each other, it is very good, but if there is no one to talk to, it is better to go away separately.

Zhou Liheng went on to say: "This time, my elder brother wanted to harm me. If I had been in the past, I might not have been so cruel. But this time, it was I who made the decision. I sent my elder brother and his family to the suburbs of Beijing for house arrest, and I will never allow him to do so again in this life." Their contact with the outside world is regarded as confinement until they die."

"Just think about it, if such calculations in the future fall on..."

He looked at Daiyu, his eyes were warm and bright: "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, don't be angry: If the wolves were hiding in Prince Shao's mansion, I would not dare to follow my parents to the door of your mansion to meet and talk with you." , please ask your parents to propose marriage."

Zhou Liheng was originally an indifferent person.

He has too much love and care, most of King Shao's attention, all the love of the princess, and even though he lost it, he has never forgotten it, the elder brother's brotherhood and care for him when he was still there to micro.

Even in the palace, the emperor was kinder to his little cousin than to his own son.

He was well protected by Prince Shao's mansion, even if the prince quarreled with him, King Shao would immediately go to the palace to seek justice for his son.

So Zhou Liheng was kind, peaceful, and calm enough to make King Shao anxious.

It wasn't until he met the person he wanted to protect that he understood the feeling of being tough because of wanting to protect someone.

For the sake of the brothers getting along with each other these years, according to the original Zhou Liheng, he may not be able to let the elder brother go.

But he only needs to think about it, they are so eyeing about the position of King Shao's son, if he lets go, will the Gu worms fall on Daiyu next time, and will he even have no time for Imperial Physician Lin to save his life.

This thought made Zhou Liheng shudder.

He seemed to suddenly understand his father's hatred of iron and steel, and sometimes his mother looked at him with a deeply hidden sadness in his loving eyes.

Protective desire is sometimes a kind of aggressiveness.

Since he was a child, his leisurely and peaceful mood seemed to be looking at the clouds while walking on a horse, but finally because he wanted to protect someone, turbulent waves arose.

He looked at Daiyu, his gentle eyes almost dripping.He was not very good at speaking, and he didn't know how to express it, so that he could express his heart without being abrupt.

After a long pause, he finally said only one sentence: "I will not let you encounter the same thing as me."

He couldn't say it, but Daiyu seemed to understand everything.

--

The time the two talked alone was not too long, but they had a sense of connection.

Seeing that the smoke in the incense burner gradually weakened, although Zhou Liheng was reluctant to give up, he also knew that it was not good to stay alone any longer.

Originally, after he had opened up his heart to Daiyu for a while, his heartbeat had already slowed down, but now that he got up to invite her, his heartbeat immediately jumped again like a deer tap dancing.

"Let's... let's go to the banquet to meet our parents."

Daiyu looked up at him, but smiled slightly: "You go, I still have to wait for my sister to come with me."

Originally, when Lin Jiang watched Zhou Liheng get up, he had already walked this way.

Unexpectedly, when I heard this sentence as soon as I approached, I immediately slammed on the brakes and made a sharp turn, waved my hands and said: "Go ahead first, I drank a few cups of hot tea just now, I was too careless, you see it all spilled on my sleeves Alright, I'll go back and change my clothes first."

Waved again and again: "Leave me alone, you go."

What happened today was originally that as long as Daiyu nodded, the two families could make an in-law relationship.

The elders on both sides probably have no taste in front of them at this moment, and they are worried about it in every possible way. As long as the two of them walk out together at this moment, it will be clear that the world will be clear.

So Lin Jiang turned around and left, and called Gemstone who had already started to clean up the teacups: "Don't clean up, go back with me and change clothes first."

The two disappeared immediately.

Leaving Zhou Liheng and Daiyu behind, they walked forward together.

Daiyu remembered that she still had nothing to ask, so she said, "Have you seen Sister Jiang's medical book?"

Zhou Liheng: "I have seen it. My mother said that you helped Lin Yuanzheng to tidy up together. It is really a blessing for others."Daiyu listened to these medical books that she sorted out and narrated in his mouth, and her heart became more and more stable.

"In the future, I will continue to help my sister tidy up."

Zhou Liheng was stunned for a moment before saying: "Of course." Then he said a little shyly: "You, you say that, do you care what I think?"

The question was straightforward, and Daiyu also blushed.

And Lin Jiang, who stopped at the corner and continued to watch from behind the doorpost: Ah, this pink bubble smell can be felt from a long distance away.

These five Qing mansions are set up next to the Lin Fu Banquet Hall, and the two ends are connected by corridors.Zhou Liheng and Daiyu walked side by side, Xueyan followed far behind with a smile all over her face.

Seeing the two walking together from the corridor, King Shao and Lin Ruhai had a thought at the same time: In this world, it is extremely difficult to find someone who is so worthy of my son (daughter) in appearance.

When King Shao and his family went to the Lin Mansion for the first time, the Jingzhong family hadn't guessed that the two families intended to get married: it was Zhou Liheng's past of "destined to be a single nobleman" that was very strong.

It is guessed that there are more people from their family who collectively come to Lin Yuanzheng to see a doctor.

But this time, Prince Shao's family came to visit Mrs. Lin again on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and many people felt that something was wrong: Didn't the prince say that he was all cured?Before that, King Shao even made a fuss about this, saying that the court had sprayed the censor.

Then this time the door is...

Before the people in Beijing finished their busy New Year's Eve and resumed their daily gossip work, Prince Shao's Mansion itself released the official news.

Princess Shao still invited Mrs. Wu to be the Iceman, and the Shanglin Mansion formally proposed marriage.

But soon, the emperor in the palace got involved.

On the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the officials entered the palace to kowtow to the emperor, he still left behind six ministers, Dali Temple, Guozijian and other important officials, and bestowed Lantern Festival in Mingzheng Palace.

The emperor brought up this matter in front of all his ministers, and Jin Kouyu said that this is a perfect match made by Guanxing Pavilion, and even expressed that he would write an imperial decree to bestow the marriage.

Prince Shao was also present - he is a Zong Ling, and his official position is not small, and he stayed as an important minister even if he was not a prince.

Seeing the emperor mentioning the imperial decree to bestow marriage, the others were all holding the imperial Lantern Festival and eating it respectfully, but King Shao put the Lantern Festival aside and finalized the matter with the emperor first, asking the emperor to write it on the spot.

Among the six ministers, Wei Qian, who was then the minister of the household department, Princess Shao's elder brother, Wei Qian, was the happiest: the younger sister's son was finally married!No, no, my sister's son can finally get engaged.

The emperor gave him the seat, and he happened to be sitting next to Lin Ruhai, Minister of Rites. At this moment, he turned his head and kept nodding at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, had a more complicated mood. After she deeply realized that her daughter was going to marry, there was an indescribably lonely and complicated smile in her smile.

Seeing this, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, as a heavenly official, smiled and said: "Sure enough, marrying a woman is different from marrying a daughter. Lin Shangshu's expression is probably because he is reluctant."

Although the emperor has sons and daughters, his fatherly feelings are infinitely diluted by the emperor's ambitions, and the remaining love is divided into [-] small shares, which is even more limited, so it is difficult to understand Lin Ruhai's mood.

However, under the watchful eyes of Prince Shao, he called a scholar from Zhongshushe on the spot to draft the imperial decree.

He also said to Lord Shao and Lin Ruhai: "I have granted you a marriage, and then a new couple will have to come and kowtow to me to thank you." In a word, it was decided after the marriage.

Lin Ruhai was startled, and quickly put down the Lantern Festival bowl and got up and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I have discussed with Prince Shao, the daughter is still young, it is better to get married after the ceremony."

The emperor blinked, a little speechless: "Then, two years younger?"

Lin Ruhai nodded immediately, and then looked at King Shao again.

Seeing that King Shao also admitted this matter, the emperor couldn't help feeling sorry: he still remembers how sister Qi Yang sat in front of him and praised that girl Lin as unparalleled in appearance.As the Yan-controlled party of the Zhou family, the emperor really wanted to see how a pair of Bi people walked in.

I heard that it will be another two years, and it suddenly becomes dull.

However, the emperor quickly found a new joy: "That's right, this sister doesn't get married, so it's not easy to arrange her marriage—Emissary Lin Youyi is away all year round, and I want you to be my uncle for the official wedding of the imperial hospital." I'm so worried."

The emperor turned his head and kowtowed to the cp of his original intention, planning to finalize the wedding date for Wei Ren first.

Lin Ruhai: ...It's either a daughter or a niece. It's so miserable that the Lin family only has girls.
