[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

As soon as Lin Ruhai came out of the gate of Mingzheng Palace, he happened to bump into Wei Ren who was about to go in to report palace affairs to the emperor. Seeing him dressed in a military uniform, and thinking about the life experience of this man with no relatives, he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.

Speaking of it, Lin Ruhai is not the way of thinking in an ordinary family, he underestimates Wei Ren without the help of family relatives, and is dissatisfied.From his point of view, a man's own future is more important, which is much better than those dandies who lie on the achievements of their ancestors and eat the legacy of their ancestors.

That's right, he was thinking about his in-laws, the children of the Jia family who were in decline.

Lin Ruhai's mixed feelings about Wei Ren come from a conversation with his niece during the New Year's Eve.

During the Chinese New Year season in central Beijing, the family of officials and officials had a lot of entertainment with each other, and the Lin family was busy. Lin Ruhai was worried for Lin Jiang when she saw that the mansion was in full swing. Without the help of relatives and elders, my niece may have to work hard during the new year and festivals in the future.

Unexpectedly, when she mentioned this worry, Lin Jiang just smiled: "Don't worry, uncle, that's just fine, I'll make the decision if no one cares about me, I still like it like this."

Lin Ruhai was shocked and sad again: It's over, my niece is no longer a normal lady.

That's why when I saw Wei Ren at this time, I had mixed feelings. I was afraid that this seemingly cold and stern Commander Wei would not be able to get along with his niece in the future.

After seeing Lin Ruhai head-on, Wei Ren immediately stopped to salute his nephew.

Lin Ruhai helped his hand up with a smile, because he couldn't talk much outside the Mingzheng Palace, so he watched Wei Ren walk in like a dragon and a tiger with complicated emotions.

Seeing that he was tall and straight from the back, and hearing that he was very skilled in martial arts, Lin Ruhai began to worry about how the husband and wife would quarrel.I had no choice but to comfort myself in my heart: my niece is a genius doctor, a genius doctor, and can stab people.

So Lin Ruhai came to the emperor to receive a bowl of Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, but he became depressed after eating, full of reluctance and inexplicable worries for the two children.

After leaving the palace gate, he went to the Ministry of Rites to congratulate all his colleagues on the Lantern Festival, and then he did not take the carriage, but directly drove back to the residence.

As soon as he entered, he went to Lin Changzhou's guest courtyard.

Lin Changzhou is doing calculations, and the beads of the abacus are moving very fast - in the new world, he can skillfully use a super brain that surpasses modern technology, and in ancient times, he would also use the abacus to do calculations in the countryside, and the calculations are flourishing.

Lin Jiang is full of respect for this, and does not underestimate abacus calculations at all: She has seen science popularization on the Science and Technology Channel before, saying that when I developed my own "two-bomb project", there was only one computer in the whole country, so many sophisticated calculations, They are all calculated by scientists using abacus beads.

"Third Brother, are you still calculating the shipping accounts?" Lin Ruhai was surprised.

Lin Changzhou put down his abacus, looked up at Lin Ruhai: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Lin Ruhai sat down with a long sigh, and dropped the heavy news he knew: "Do you know that the emperor mentioned in front of the imperial court today that he wanted to prepare for Jiang'er's marriage? This is the time for our family's engagement." As soon as the news came out, Lin Changzhou should Can't sit still.

Unexpectedly, Lin Changzhou's hand continued to move the next count, so he nodded: "Alright."

okay?okay? !

Lin Ruhai almost thought that she was hallucinating.

Lin Changzhou was very calm: "It is more convenient to communicate with people when you are married and go out to do things."

The restrictions in the boudoir are still too great.

Married people are different. For example, Sister Feng is a housekeeper like Tanchun, but Sister Feng's contact with people is definitely much greater than that of Tanchun who has not left the cabinet, and she often goes out for a walk.

Lin Ruhai felt that he had nothing in common with this third brother, so he got up and said goodbye, and came back to the house, ready to meet the two girls.I also want to tell the mothers and maids headed by Xia Momo to follow the two girls everywhere in the next few years and not restrain them.

And as soon as he entered his daughter's courtyard, he heard Lin Jiang's laughter, clear and bright, just like before.

Today is the Lantern Festival, so Lin Jiang just went to the imperial hospital to order a mao, paid everyone (especially the imperial physician who was scheduled to be on duty today) a circle of festival fees, and then left the palace.

At this moment, she is hanging the lanterns with Daiyu. This year, the palace lanterns in their courtyard were all sent by the Shizi.

Anyway, since he had nothing to do, Lin Jiang had to go up and hang the lanterns by himself.

Several strong women were holding the ladder tremblingly below, watching the girl climb up the ladder herself.

When Lin Ruhai entered, Lin Jiang was still standing at the top of the ladder, holding a palace lantern in the shape of a bunny in his hand, and was asking Daiyu: "Is it right here? It should be higher, symmetrical to the one on the other end." ?"

And Daiyu was wearing a big red satin cloak, holding her hands in front of her lips, warming her hands gently, raising her head and smiling, and the soft light fell on her brows.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ruhai felt so warm and beautiful that she was about to cry.He wants his two daughters to be this happy forever.

--

The emperor bestowed an imperial edict to marry the son of Prince Shao and the daughter of Lin Ruhai, Minister of Rites, and the capital boiled again.

In this short month, two important marriages broke out in the Lin family.

The threshold of Lin's house was trampled again.

Of course, the news spread to Rongguo Mansion very quickly.

"Shao Wang's son? Shao Wang? His son? The son of Shao Wang's mansion?" Jia's mother was so surprised that she almost became a repeater.

Sister Feng has good ears and eyes, and she has been focusing on flattering Jia Mu to control the housekeeping power. Naturally, she understands Jia Mu's mind, and she knew that Jia Mu wanted to make Baoyu and Daiyu a pair.But in Sister Feng's view, this was a delusion very early on.But for Jia Mu, it has always been a good wish and a fantasy.

At this moment, Sister Feng is really afraid that Mother Jia will be too surprised, say something wrong for a while, or show dissatisfaction in front of the Lin family, which will waste the relationship between relatives.

So he hurriedly smiled and said to Jia Mu: "No, Prince Shao's Mansion is the most noble mansion in the capital. It can be seen that sister Lin is blessed, and the old lady is also blessed. You will soon have a son-in-law as your grandson-in-law." gone."

Sure enough, after Sister Feng repeatedly emphasized the words Shaowangfu, Shiziye, and noble, Jiamu finally calmed down.

It's a complicated feeling in my heart, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad.

From the perspective of Daiyu's grandmother, this is of course an impeccable and excellent marriage, and that is Prince Shao's residence.But...but...what about Baoyu!

Jia Mu's heart is half sea water and half flame.

She hasn't had the chance to officially talk to Lin Ruhai about the marriage of the two Yu'er yet!After all, Lin Ruhai was suddenly called back to Beijing by the emperor to report on his duties in autumn because of the funeral ceremony of the overlord.

Moreover, as soon as Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, he preemptively took Lin Jiang and Daiyu away from Rongguo Mansion.

Later, Lin Ruhai joined the Ministry of Rites, not the household department he was familiar with, so he was so busy that he didn't have time to go home. How could he have time to come to Rongguo Mansion to sit and chat at the invitation of Jia Mu?

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was really busy, Jia's mother wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year and the imperial court's holiday to talk to her son-in-law.

Well, the Chinese New Year is coming, and the news that Daiyu will promise to Prince Shao's Mansion comes along with the bells of the New Year's Lantern Festival.

Sister Feng's words still brought back Jia's mother's reason.

Mother Jia was able to digest the pure and tragic event of leaving the palace in Yuanchun and maintain her rationality. What's more, Daiyu's matter, if viewed beyond Jiamu's own selfishness for Baoyu, it would be an excellent marriage.

So Mother Jia quickly adjusted her mentality and put on a smile.

"Okay, okay, Yu'er is a lucky one. Feng girl, hurry up and prepare a gift and send it to your sister!"

When Sister Feng saw Jia Mu turning around, she also smiled, and quickly flattered: "No matter how good the storehouse in this mansion is, it is not as good as the things from the old ancestor. The old ancestor loved Sister Lin so much, so he must take out the stuff that he put at the bottom of the box." Things also make us open our eyes."

Jia's mother completely changed her mentality, and became joyful - in fact, she also knew in her heart that depending on Lin Ruhai's attitude, there was not much hope for this matter.

Since there is little hope, disappointment is limited.

So he followed Sister Feng's flattery and said: "Yuanyang, didn't you hear what your second grandma said? Why don't you open the box to find something?"

Yuanyang also made fun of Jia Mu: "Isn't the old lady making things difficult for us servants? You have more than a hundred boxes, all of which are good, and we can't recognize them, but which one should we open?" "

In terms of self-esteem, Jia's mother is indeed true.

She has come from the most prominent generation of the Jia family, and she has saved up to this day. She is indeed a veritable "gold, silver, and the bottom of the box" are all good things.

Young people love to flatter and show off, and they were really happy when Sister Feng and Yuanyang said this.

"Yu'er's family has no shortage of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and Lin Yuanzheng's father is in charge of goods from overseas ships, so there must be no shortage of Western goods. Instead, they are looking for some rare antiques from the previous dynasty to share with her, which are elegant and bright. , when the time comes, she can also take the palace to display it."

Sister Feng and the mandarin ducks said the same thing, and the old lady was the most wise and thoughtful.

Let's say that Jia's mother knew the good news, and soon the whole Rongguo Mansion also knew about it.

Hearing this, Yingchun and Xichun both rushed to the council hall to look for Tanchun, Xichun hurriedly said before entering the door: "Third sister has heard about sister Lin's happy event, shall we..."

Her voice stopped abruptly when she saw the figure next to Tanchun.

Yingchun originally walked slowly, and was half a step behind Xichun, now she came in, and hurriedly said hello first: "Big sister."

Sitting next to Tanchun is Yuanchun.

Yuan Chunsheng is very beautiful, but every time he sees her, Sanchun is like seeing Mrs. Wang and Baochai blended together. He doesn't have the feeling of closeness to her as a sister, but instead has a kind of respect and distance with fear.

Tanchun's explanation for this was that after all, the elder sister had been a female official in the palace for many years, and she followed the empress.

When Xichun saw her, she immediately fell silent.

Yuan Chun was holding a ledger in his hand, but now he put it down slowly, straightened his back, looked at Xi Chun and said in a deep voice: "It's a good thing for the fourth younger sister to remember relatives and sisters, but it's just that every girl of the family has to walk, sit and lie down." Be more polite. It would be inappropriate for people to arrive first before they arrive, if there are guests in this room, wouldn't it be extremely rude?"

Xichun said with a cold face: "Where are the guests coming from this meeting hall? If you really receive guests in this cramped place, this mansion is the one that makes people laugh, and I don't need to say a word to be laughed at."

She is stubborn and dislikes teaching.Her serious sister-in-law, You Shi, sometimes comes over to say a few words of concern, but because Xichun hates the style of the Ningguo Mansion, she has to say a few words to poor You Shi.What's more, facing Yuan Chun, Xi Chun immediately refuted it.

Yuan Chun had very little contact with this little sister, so she didn't expect her to dare to speak against him directly. In front of the other sisters, he couldn't help but get even more embarrassed, and his face became more and more serious.

Her exquisitely drawn long eyebrows frowned like a cloud: "Fourth sister is young, so it is inevitable that she is a little ignorant. I am the eldest sister, you just change it, why do you have to talk back? Even if there is no Guest, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to ask the servants to see it?”

Xichun bid farewell directly, and left a sentence: "Eldest sister came from the palace, and she knows how to be decent. I have never been in the palace and am ignorant, so I will leave here first, so as not to make elder sister angry." Quickly, before everyone could react, they had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Yuan Chun was stunned.

Tan Chun was busy smoothing things over: "Eldest sister, don't be upset, this is the reclusiveness of the fourth younger sister, too lonely, we can't be more proud of him."

Then there was Yingchun timidly apologizing to Yuanchun, but Yuanchun couldn't continue talking, so he just got up and said, "You guys talk, I'll go back and see my mother, and I will help with sewing."

Tanchun rushed to the door and said: "Elder sister knows the housekeeper best, so you should come and guide me more in the future." He also said that he would also go to pay Mrs. Wang a good time in the evening, and also send a pair of newly made shoes to Mrs. Wang , and then respectfully sent Yuan Chun away.

Tanchun heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head to meet Shang Yingchun's clear eyes, and the two sisters couldn't help but smile at 'puchi'.

From Ju Tanchun's point of view, although Yingchun's second sister is weak and fearful, she actually understands it in her heart - she is really a person who is confused and not half-hearted, and she will not be good at playing chess.

Sure enough, Yingchun stepped forward and took Tanchun's hand, and asked quietly: "Now Lian's second sister-in-law is still the housekeeper. We came to help out because we have passed the bright road. The old lady didn't ask the eldest sister to come, why..."

Why when they came in just now, they saw Yuan Chun sitting here, seeming to be teaching Tan Chun about accounting, and they even made excuses to punish Xi Chun as well.

In fact, the sisters joke around everyday and don't have so many rules.If it is really impossible to speak through the window, Yuan Chun should be the first to teach Sister Feng a lesson.

Tanchun sighed.

Unlike Mrs. Jia who didn't let Mrs. Wang be the housekeeper because she hated Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Jia didn't let Yuan Chun be the housekeeper, but she felt sorry for Yuan Chun: Mrs. Jia felt that Yuan Chun was released from the palace. The butler is wasting his energy, and Madam Wang has to take her out to socialize as soon as possible, to see more wives and wives, and to find a good marriage.

After all, Yuanchun was the first granddaughter brought up by Jia Mu. She was both a direct descendant and Baoyu's sister, so Jia Mu naturally preferred it.

So she came to sit and teach Tanchun, and Tanchun didn't dare to say a word.

Before Yuan Chun left just now, he specifically mentioned that he was going to accompany Mrs. Wang to do needlework, and he also came to beat Tanchun one or two times. Don't forget who her serious mother is, and don't think that being appointed by Jia Mu as a housekeeper can forget you.

Yingchun shakes her hand to comfort her.

Tanchun thought of Aunt Zhao who was still in the Zhuangzi, shook his head and put aside all these troubles, and only said to Yingchun: "Sister Xichun just said something serious, the etiquette in the house is one thing, and our sister's own feelings are another. gone."

Especially Tanchun, after Aunt Zhao's incident broke out, he relied on Daiyu and Lin Jiang's favor, so he was very concerned about it, thinking about making some more fine needlework and giving it to the two sisters as a token of affection .

And Yuan Chun returned to Rongxi Hall from the conference hall, and just walked to the door, when he saw Zhou Rui's family exit in a bit of a panic.

Seeing her, Zhou Rui's family managed to force a smile: "Hello, big girl."

Yuan Chun's expression remained motionless, he just nodded, and when he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Wang looking like she had just gotten angry, resting with one hand on her forehead and closing her eyes, her brows were tightly wrinkled into a "Chuan".

"Mother."

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and looked at Yuan Chun. At first she wanted to hold back, but in the end she couldn't hold back and complained: "Why did you come out of the palace? If you became a concubine, wouldn't you be worse than them?" Qiang—now we can only look at this one who married the prince, and that one who married the prince! They are all respectable to others!"

There was a reason for what she said.

In addition to Daiyu being accused of being given to Prince Shao's son, there is another marriage that has just given Mrs. Wang a serious trauma: it was Wang Ziteng's daughter who betrothed to the freshly-baked King Sujun.

Besides, among the three younger brothers who made troubles for the emperor, Prince Su was the first to completely give up on giving up. Anyway, compared to those two, he was the least troubled by his elder brother.The sooner he knelt down and admitted his mistake, the less he would be punished by iron fists.

So Prince Su directly used the excuse of 'the body is failing', expressing that he wanted to escape into the Taoist sect, pray for his father and brother, directly handed over the throne to his son-in-law, and escaped from his golden shell.He was also very obedient and pleaded with the emperor: he has no merits in the country or family, and his son should not inherit the throne, the county king is enough.

The emperor saw that he was the first to know how to be interesting, so he let go of this surrendered younger brother to flaunt his generosity.

Sure enough, he accepted King Su's memorial and gave him a Taoist title. By the way, he demoted Prince Su to become the prince of Sujun, and rewarded him to his nephew.

The newly announced engagement partner of King Sujun is Wang Ziteng's daughter.

Prince Lao Su and Wang Ziteng were together in front of the Supreme Emperor back then, and they had a very good friendship.At this time, they felt sorry for each other, so they got married.

It doesn't matter whether Su Wang's mansion has been downgraded by one level, whether it is not as good as before, or whether it is stared at by the emperor's long eyes.But the new King Su is from the royal family of the Zhou family, the emperor's nephew, and the mansion is still an upright county mansion.

When Wang Qingluan gets married, she is directly the princess. Generally speaking, it is still a glorious marriage.

Coupled with the newly announced marriage between the Lin family and Prince Shao's mansion, it was two swords attacking together, all inserted into Mrs. Wang's lung tube.

Seeing Yuan Chun walk in at this moment, Hua Rongyue looks dignified, and in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, her daughter is of course not inferior to anyone, so she couldn't help complaining, sighing why her daughter didn't become a concubine.

But Mrs. Wang's words stabbed Yuan Chun's lung tube severely.

Does she want to be released from the palace?Doesn't she want to be a dignified concubine?

At first, the family sent her to the palace, and she was serving as a female official at the Empress Dowager (the queen at the time). At that time, she was hoping that she would be assigned to an unmarried prince and become a princess.But after the emperor came to the throne, the family had other expectations, and many methods were used to make her a female official in the queen's palace.

If the province is the female official of the empress dowager, the emperor is not easy to be important.

Everyone knows that the emperor is a romantic son, and he has a lot of court ladies. It can be said that in the emperor's dynasty, it is a relatively smooth path for the court ladies to be the imperial concubines.

And Yuan Chun also asked himself, in the entire palace, not to mention the maids, even the concubines are rarely as good as her.

But she was let out!

Mrs. Wang said something, and saw her daughter's face was not good-looking, so she stopped it, and said: "Forget it, it's useless to say these things now. We should first consider the important things in the future, the marriage of Duke Zhen..."

Yuan Chun interrupted: "Mother, Duke Zhen's mansion is really not a good relationship." That day she was still serving in the empress's palace, and once the emperor went back to eat, he had a very bad voice and looked very annoyed.She vaguely inquired a few words, only to know that the emperor wanted to sentence him to exile because the second son of Lord Zhen Guo violated the national law, but was reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor, so he had to be imprisoned instead of being angry.

This matter left a deep shadow on Yuan Chun, it was a real shadow, she still remembered the emperor's furious look at that time.

The wrath of the emperor is truly terrifying.

Mrs. Wang was greatly stimulated today. Seeing that Yuan Chun still resolutely rejected the marriage of Lord Zhen Guo, she also became annoyed and said directly: "The marriage I told you is not the second son of Duke Zhen's family, but the eldest son who will inherit the title in the future. son."

"Although he was married, his wife died early without a son and a half daughter, and he was younger than thirty—you just don't want such a marriage, and how do you want the family to take care of you? Yuanchun, aren't you 15 years old, after the new year will be 25 years old, you look up, who is so old and not married?"

"It's time to pick and choose. You don't want to be the future Mrs. Zhen Guo, but some people want to be!"

Yuan Chun was completely hurt by his mother's words.

It turned out that even the mother felt that she was a burden when she came out of the palace. As long as there was a similar family, even if it was a stepmother, she would marry her out as soon as possible and be grateful to her.

Mrs. Wang looked at Yuan Chun's pale face and the expression of great grievance. She couldn't understand Yuan Chun's suffering, but she cried first: "It's true that children are debts. Neither you nor Baoyu can worry about it. Come to be filial to my children? You are debt collectors who came to kill me."

Even Baoyu scolded him.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still consistent in certain brain circuits.

Back then, Jia's mother thought that Lin Ruhai loved Daiyu, and as long as Daiyu and Baoyu got along well, Lin Ruhai would agree to the marriage—Mrs. Wang thought so too.

She felt that Jia's mother doted on Baoyu. As long as Baoyu liked Baochai very much and had a deep affection, Jia's mother would have to make concessions.

Who knew that Jia Baoyu, just like a buffalo refusing to drink water, disliked Baochai life and death, and only blamed Baochai for persuading him to study and improve.

Even Baochai persuaded him to be harsh, and Jia Baoyu wanted to smash jade and go crazy. Once, Jia's mother was alarmed. Yes, it's better for Miss Bao not to persuade him."

A few words made Aunt Xue, mother and daughter embarrassed to come to the door for a few days.

It ran counter to Mrs. Wang's vision.

That's why Mrs. Wang cried out: children are debts!

Mrs. Wang, mother and daughter closed the door of Rongxi Hall and shed tears, and Xue's family was also gloomy.

But the Xue family is not for Daiyu's marriage.

Xue Baochai is a very realistic and calm person.Hearing about the marriage arranged by the Lin family, there must be some envy, as well as self-injury.But Baochai has an indomitable heart, and quickly cheered up: other people's lives are one thing, the most important thing is to grasp what you can grasp.

If Ke Jin envied her, would Princess Shao envy her?Do you want the princess to be envious?If she wants to envy anyone who is stronger than her, she will not be able to live.

She is not Daiyu, and in fact she is not very familiar with Daiyu. Baochai still focuses on her goal: she is still steadfastly on the road to become Bao's second grandmother, and she is still steadfast in educating Baoyu.

From this point of view, Daiyu's engagement is still a good thing for the Xue family.At least Mother Jia will be able to extinguish this idea, so she has to find a candidate for her granddaughter-in-law.

The Xue family was worried about another matter.

The new year has come, but there is no new atmosphere in the Xue family: This year, the Xue family went to the household department to apply for an official document to go to sea, but Lin Changzhou ruthlessly rejected it again.

The Xue family felt unspeakably bitter.

Let's talk about this year's Spring Festival, Lin Changzhou's reputation is even more popular than last year.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Lin Changzhou showed Beijing how rich he was and how good he was at making money.

However, this year, he had a focus, and showed the emperor how much income he had added to the imperial court in the past year by arranging to coordinate the imperial merchants in the capital and distributing official documents from the sea.

The emperor is very satisfied, and the specific performance is that the work related to going to sea is gradually handed over to the post of Youyi envoy, and the new household minister, Wei Qian, fully supports this.

Therefore, the Xue family has no intention of competing with Lin Changzhou for business at all. They are just racking their brains to figure out how to get him to put out the former fire and accept the Xue family again.
