[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Lin Jiang followed Lin Ruhai and walked towards Mingzheng Palace.

The towers in the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty were always solemn and dark, majestic and lofty, but now on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month when new talismans are posted here and there, there is a bit of joy in the solemnity.

In the distance, she saw Wei Ren standing outside the gate of Mingzheng Palace.

He doesn't have a military uniform today, but is wearing the official uniform of a third-rank military general, with a leopard pattern on his chest and an official crown similar to hers on his head.

From this point of view, the clothes of the two matched each other.

Seeing him waiting at the door, Lin Jiang couldn't help but smile: This is almost like the Civil Affairs Bureau in the previous life. Newlyweds go in to get a certificate before the official wedding ceremony.

When she got closer, she saw that Wei Yan was clearly wearing a rather thin official robe, and he didn't wear any big clothes, but he still saw sweat on his forehead in the middle of winter, and he was nervous, so she wanted to help him relax, and said casually Jokingly said: "What? But regret it? If you regret it, there is still time. You haven't entered the door yet and haven't signed the card yet."

As soon as the words fell, before Wei Ren had time to speak, Lin Ruhai next to him shouted directly: "It's a great day, what are you talking about, you child! Can you tell me to hear this again!"

Lin Ruhai felt that the word "Chuan" between his brows was getting darker: Alas, this niece is really worried to death.

Lin Jiang: Oops, I forgot that it's not the system dad next to me, but the uncle who won't let me make these jokes.

Two people entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, no, Mingzheng Palace.

Sitting upright in the study behind the case, the emperor also wore a red and gold dragon robe, which was so brilliant that his matchmaker was more glamorous than the official uniforms that were regulated by the two of them. like a newcomer.

Unlike other matchmakers who only need to thank the matchmaker for money, facing this big matchmaker, a new couple has to give him a big gift to thank him first.

This time the emperor didn't just scream like in the past, but got up from behind the case and walked forward to help the two of them up one by one.

He solemnly asked in a deep voice: "I saw the two of you sign a marriage letter today, and from now on, the husband and wife should be in harmony with each other."

Both Wei Ren and Lin Jiang saluted again.

Two marriage certificates had already been prepared on the case, each with a few lines of words in beautiful handwriting on the white jade paper sprinkled with red and gold.

Lin Jiang has seen the emperor's handwriting, which is different from the handwriting in front of him.The words on the marriage letter in front of him, even with Lin Jiang's layman's level of calligraphy, can be seen to be excellent.

Seeing Lin Jiang reading the characters, the emperor said: "This is Prince Heng's characters. His running script is excellent, so I asked him to write the marriage letter."

As soon as Lin Jiang heard that this was the handwriting of the fifth prince in the legend, Lin Jiang immediately understood why the emperor always brought this son here to help him write blessings and reward his foreign ministers.

Wei Ren quickly said: "Prince Labor Heng, I will go to the mansion to thank you in person in another day."

This kind of matter of going to see the prince, Wei Ren has always reported in front of the emperor aboveboard.

The emperor smiled: "Let's not talk about these things, it's important to do business first." Then he looked at Lin Ruhai: "Lin Qing, please."

Hearing the word 'please' from the emperor, Lin Ruhai knew that the emperor was in a very good mood today.

At this moment, in addition to the monarch and minister, the two are also the elders witnessed by both men and women.As the emperor stood on the side of Wei Ren, Lin Ruhai also walked two steps behind and walked to Lin Jiang's side.

Father-in-law Thrush prepared pens and paper by the case himself.

He did not hand it to Wei Ren first and then to Lin Jiang according to the rule of first male and then female, but handed out the two pens at the same time while dipping in ink.

Lin Jiang smiled at the thrush father-in-law when he took the pen.

Sure enough, he is a confidant. Father-in-law Huamei doesn't care about the rules of husbands and wives, and he treats them as equals, regardless of order-if the emperor is not watching, father-in-law Thrush might have to give it to Lin Jiang first. What about the pen?

Before writing, Lin Jiang couldn't help turning his head to look at Wei Ren, who happened to also turn his head.

Their eyes met, and they smiled in each other's eyes at the same time, and then they wrote their names together.

The emperor watched from the side, sighing in his heart.

Of the two people in front of him, one is an orphan he picked up from a desolate land, and has been raised in the palace since then, becoming a young general whose guards are trusted by his side; Knowing that, he solved the chronic illness that he had worried about all his life, and was promoted by him to be an official female official of the imperial hospital.

It can be said that the official paths of these two people are closely related to him, and they are his confidantes who have been single-handedly promoted.

At the very beginning, the two of them were in this Mingzheng Palace. Lin Jiang was ordered to come back to check his pulse, and lowered his head to inject Wei Ren's injured arm. Wei Ren looked at her for a moment, but suddenly turned his head away.

Since then, the emperor has moved this idea.

Now, the infinite emotions in the emperor's heart can be merged into one sentence: the cp I knocked is true!

Sure enough, the marriage certificate was issued on this day, and the emperor waved his hand and gave the two of them a holiday.

After the two left the palace, Wei Ren accompanied Lin Jiang to a narrow alley in the south of the city according to the address given by the deputy of the horse courtyard, looking for the former female doctor.

There are countless old small courtyards in this alley, which looks crowded and messy.

The residence given by the deputy of the horse courtyard was a small courtyard house, and the deputy of the Juma courtyard said that the female doctor only rented one of the rooms, which was still on the west side, which was not a good orientation.

There are many small handicrafts at the door of her house, such as small windmills, small cloth tigers, etc., obviously relying on making these children's things by herself, and selling them to earn some money to make ends meet.

It can be seen that the life is quite embarrassing and shabby.

The youngest son lost his father and the old man had no one to depend on, these were always the things Lin Jiang could not bear to see the most.She took a deep breath, and began to think about how to speak for a while, so as not to hurt the sadness of others.

She only felt that her hand was hot, and it was Wei Ren holding her hand: "Don't be sad."

As usual, he can always tacitly understand any of her thoughts and ideas.

Seeing that the two of them had different clothes, especially Wei Ren, who didn't wear a cloak and was still showing off his official clothes in the palace, who was making sugar water in the yard to make sugar figurines, immediately got up tremblingly: "The villain has seen , I have met the master, this master..." I was so frightened that I couldn't speak smoothly.

Hearing that the two were looking for Granny Hu, the man hurried to knock on the door: "Grandma Hu, someone is looking for you."

An old woman with gray hair and slightly bent waist came out.Although her clothes were washed white and obviously very old, they were very clean and she looked neat.

Lin Jiang could imagine that it was difficult to keep such cleanliness in such a cramped environment in the ancient times when it was not possible to take a bath here frequently.

Although she left the women's clinic, this former female doctor still maintained her old habits.

"Excuse me, is it Senior Hu?"

The old woman with obviously bad eyes looked at Lin Jiang's face and said puzzledly, "You are..." She also saw the official uniform standing behind her and recognized a third-rank official, even more so. be surprised.

Lin Jiang took off his cloak, revealing the uniform of the imperial hospital.

Granny Hu recognized it immediately, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Yes, is it Lin Yuanzheng? The old woman heard that the two vice-admirals of the courtyard mentioned Sir."

Lin Jiang reached out to help her into the room.

Wei Ren originally wanted to follow into the house, but at a glance, he saw that the pile of firewood piled up at the door had not been chopped. He thought that Granny Hu was an old woman after all, and could only do some light work. Money hires people.

So Wei Ren simply left time for the two to talk alone, and he stayed in the yard by himself, picked up the ax and started chopping wood.

In the room, Lin Jiang talked a lot with Granny Hu.

Granny Hu heard some things about Lin Jiang from the deputy of the horse courtyard, and she couldn't believe many of them. When she saw the real person today, she asked them all.

Lin Jiang also answered each one carefully, and also talked about the first female apprentice she accepted, the bookstore she established, the first medical book on Qianjinfang, and the medical clinic that is now on the right track.

Hearing that she wanted to recruit maids who had no one to rely on after leaving the palace, and let them learn to be female doctors, Granny Hu nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you did a good job. Back then, many people in the Women's Medical Center were also born as maids."

She looked at Lin Jiang, as if she saw the heroic female head of the former women's hospital.

"Being able to see Master Yuanzheng with my own eyes, and knowing that there will be a women's clinic outside in the future, I have no regrets even if I die immediately with my old bones."

Lin Jiang persuaded: "Don't think that way, I'm still looking forward to asking you to come out to guide these new 'prepared female doctors'."

Granny Hu's eyes first shone brightly, and then suddenly dimmed like blowing out a candle. She shook her head: "I can't."

Lin Jiangqi said: "Mother-in-law feels that she is not feeling well when she gets old? Then I will prescribe some prescriptions and send some tonics later."

Although she hasn't checked the pulse yet, according to her opinion, Granny Hu's body is quite strong, and there is no major problem, the only thing is that her waist is a little bent and her walk is a little slow.

For people of this age, none of this is a problem, it's just normal aging.It's probably due to some hardships in life, and it's better to take good care of your body.

Granny Hu shook her head, with tears in her eyes again: "Your Majesty, Emperor Cheng abolished the women's clinic and killed many masters. We young apprentices were judged by the inner court and had nothing to do with the concubine Chen. At that time, the Empress empress remonstrated strongly, so she escaped with her life. But Emperor Cheng also ordered that we are not allowed to practice medicine anymore, this is the emperor's order."

So even if she has some medical skills, she can fully support herself by seeing a doctor, but Granny Hu can't. She can only use her hands that have studied medicine to make some gadgets to make ends meet.

Only then did Lin Jiang understand why the Deputy Ma Yuan and the others only left a sum of money and did not help Granny Hu.

She frowned slightly, and then quickly opened up: "It's okay, I invited mother-in-law to the medical clinic. I didn't invite you to be a doctor, but to be a teacher. Emperor Cheng didn't order you to be female teachers, did you?" .”

Granny Hu was shocked, but she still refused: "Your Majesty, you really don't have to worry about me as a useless old woman. It is difficult for a woman to be an imperial doctor, let alone you as the director of this imperial hospital. If you ask Master Ginseng to disrespect the emperor's order, you will be implicated. My lord, it is my fault!"

When Wei Ren entered the door, what he heard was Lin Jiang's insistence: "Trust me, just go to the medical hall and take out the maid from the palace, and keep it safe."

Granny Hu couldn't bear this temptation any longer, and nodded with tears in her eyes: For so many years, she has dreamed of going back to the women's clinic, back to the old days.

--

When Granny Hu sent Lin Jiang out, she also saw that the firewood piled on the porch had been split, and she couldn't help being surprised and said to Wei Ren: "This is my lord..."

Wei Ren still nodded with such a stern face, but Lin Jiang was stunned to see a little bit of cuteness waiting to be praised.

However, Granny Hu looked embarrassed: "The adults are kind, but this is not the firewood from the old lady's house."

Lin Jiang couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wei Ren: ... cut a loneliness.

Then I remembered, no wonder when I picked up the ax just now, the big brother of the sugar cooker almost stared out, and then he quickly lowered his head and continued to work.

Probably because I chopped his firewood.

So before leaving, Wei Ren went to buy five new sugar figurines he had made.

Wei Ren did not ride a horse today, but accompanied Lin Jiang in a carriage.

As soon as the two got into the car, Wei Ren asked: "Are you planning to use this incident to lure him?"

Lin Jiang turned her head and smiled at him: There is a person who can understand his ideas without saying anything, it is really as happy as eating ice cream in Yan Xia.

She held a candy figurine and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of the thief stealing it, but I'm afraid of the thief thinking about it. Why don't you take advantage of this to lure the thief out, and naturally it will just happen to solve the matter of Granny Hu."

Then he put down the sugar figure: She doesn't like to eat pure sweet things, so let's take it home and watch and play with Daiyu.

Wei Ren nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, then I will ask someone to go to Gagawen. However, he planned to go to His Majesty to sue on New Year's Eve."

The conversation between the two must be misty and incomprehensible to the ears of others.But the two of them communicated without hindrance.

They were talking about the First Prince.

Let's talk about the dignified 'General Zhen Guo', the first prince, since he was forced out of the palace after being awarded this honorable title, he was completely bewitched by his father at first, and after he realized it, he fell into a very painful situation.

And the pain is still there.

Every year and festival, when entering the palace on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest prince of Zhen Guo General will inevitably meet several princes and younger brothers.

As the eldest brother, every time he met, he had to greet his younger brothers according to their titles, and when he said that he had met the prince, it was a knife that pierced his fragile heart.

So much so that he once drank too much and went berserk in the mansion. While throwing the wine pot, he yelled at Yue: "If the emperor despises me like this, why bother to make me a general of the country, just let me die."

After that, he rushed up and rushed into the palace to beg the emperor to grant him death, but he was still held back by two subordinates who were assigned to the general's mansion: In fact, they have no objection to the eldest prince's death, but don't go to the imperial court to think about it. It is pitiful enough for these subordinate officials to be assigned to the First Prince's Mansion, how could they stand up to his torment.

In case Longyan is angered and the whole family is given death, even these unlucky ones like them will die in peace.

Of course, after waking up from the wine the next day, the Eldest Prince didn't have the courage to face his father face to face and ask for death.

On the contrary, there were two retainers who ate his money, and when they heard that the Eldest Prince was down, they came to persuade him to say something like a heavenly appointment to the people, and said that the Emperor was just deceived by the villain, and he would definitely love the Eldest Prince again in the future. To comfort and fool him with clichés such as being the eldest son.

And the eldest prince also regarded these words as life-saving straws.

Speaking of being deceived by villains, in the eyes of the eldest prince, who are the 'villains', or 'little people' is quite clear: Lin Ruhai, who read his books hard back then, and Shao Wang, who has never had a good face when he met him Father and son, and Wei Ren, who is clearly a picked-up child but is more valued by the father.

It's all the fault of this group of villains for blinding the father.If it wasn't for the eldest prince's incompetence, Lord Qing would have his heart set on it.

As the relatives of these people, Lin Jiang was of course classified as those who bear grudges by the eldest prince.

Recently, he was planning to use Lin Jiang as a breakthrough, and retaliate against the Lin family.

After his close observation and spending money to buy information, he found that Lin Jiang was so bold that he violated the holy will of Emperor Cheng by soliciting court ladies for his own use and setting up a women's clinic privately!

Isn't this a big book? !

And once something happens to Lin Jiang, Lin Ruhai will definitely be implicated: You yourself are the niece of the Ministry of Rites, how can you care about it!

In fact, the breakthrough that the eldest prince found this time is not bad. After all, what Lin Jiang has done in the past two years, although he has reported to the emperor, can be regarded as stepping on the bottom line of the rules and playing around the corner.

Compared to Lin Ruhai, who abides by etiquette and is impeccable as an official, and Prince Shao's mansion, which is like a domineering king, the eldest prince still decides to be picky.

And he knew that Wei Ren and Lin Jiang were getting married on this New Year's Day, so he wanted to play her a book at this time, it would be better for the father to be furious and take her official position, to see how she has the face to marry, Let's see how the Lin family has the face to go out during the Chinese New Year!

Of course, it was a last resort for the eldest prince to choose to enter the palace on New Year's Eve to file a complaint—after all, the emperor hated him. Every time he entered the palace on a regular basis, his request to go to Mingzheng Palace to pay his respects to his father was often rejected, and he could only receive one. 'No need to come' reply.

This is not only to take advantage of the Chinese New Year, all the princes who are out of the palace can go back and kowtow to the emperor to file a complaint.

As for why Wei Ren was very clear about the Eldest Prince's participation in Lin Jiang's performance, even he knew it himself, it was because there was a guest in General Zhen Guo's mansion who was arranged by him.

Wei Ren believed that he was not the only one who arranged for someone to watch the eldest prince, at least the second and third princes were also in it.

It can be said that the First Prince's political IQ is really appallingly low.

My house is full of holes like a cave, and I have to stick my head out to spy on other people's loopholes.

"Okay, be sure to ask him to take part in the matter of Granny Hu, so that I can pass the bright road in front of His Majesty." It also saves trouble twice.She also asked for another order to arrange for an old female doctor who was Emperor Cheng.

If the First Prince hadn't been impeached first, it would be hard to mention it hastily.

Wei Ren nodded: It's not difficult, the eldest prince is eager to collect more 'evidence', and take down the Lin family in one fell swoop on the night of the New Year's Eve, to vent his anger.

"It's snowing!" When the two were talking in the carriage, they suddenly heard the surprised voice of a child on the street.

Lin Jiang opened the curtain and took a look, and sure enough, he saw snowflakes falling like pure white goose feathers.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year." Lin Jiang smiled and said, "I just hope that the eldest prince can give me a satisfactory New Year gift."

Wei Ren nodded: "He will." The recklessness of the eldest prince is trustworthy.

Lin Jiang happened to see a hawker selling candied haws standing under the eaves of a merchant outside. The red hawthorn candied haws became more and more crystal clear in the snow, and it looked much more delicious than usual, so he pulled Wei Ren and pointed it out to him.

Wei Ren stopped the carriage, went down and bought her a bunch of hawthorn candied haws and a bunch of candied yam beans: "It's not good to eat too much."

Lin Jiang only ate one, and then handed the rest to Wei Ren: "I'll eat it for you, thank you for chopping firewood for my fellow villagers today."

Thinking of the wrong firewood, the two looked at each other and laughed. The sweetness in the car was like golden maltose wrapped in candied haws.

Soon, this year will be over, and next year will surely be an even better one.

--

The eldest prince lived up to everyone's expectations, and he really participated in Lin Jiang's book on New Year's Eve.

At that time, the few princes who had left the palace to open the palace had just kowtowed to the emperor to congratulate their father on the New Year's Eve, and the eldest prince couldn't wait to propose to speak to his father in private.

Because the emperor didn't bother to pay attention to him, his request was ruthlessly rejected by the emperor, and he received two sneering words: "Is there something sneaky that can't be said generously? If there is something serious, just say it here, and it's fine if you don't say it."

And the rest of the princes all paid attention to each other, hoping that the eldest prince would make some troubles and add a bit of joy to the new year's festival.

The eldest prince originally wanted to play against each other in private, so he could have spoken more harshly if he had something to say.It's a pity that the father didn't allow it. Helplessly, the eldest prince had no choice but to impassionedly state Lin Jiang's several crimes under the curious eyes of the other four 'disgusting' younger brothers.

The second prince and the third prince were not surprised when they heard this, they were just watching the excitement, and they felt emotional: It really is the eldest brother, but he is really just after the New Year's Eve.

The fourth prince was a bit straight-tempered, because he had never arranged any eyeliner in the eldest prince's mansion, he was quite surprised by this matter, he frowned and curled his lips at that time, thinking that the eldest brother was sick, and that he would cause trouble to his father.

This courtier's fault may have fallen into the elder brother's hands, but if he wants to play it, he should wait until the next year to talk about it, why bother to say this back and forth on the [-]th of the new year to offend the emperor.

The fifth prince was still calm, looking at his eldest brother with calm eyes: "Look at him more, I always feel that we may not be able to see him again in the future."

In the process of listening to the first prince's "generous speech", the fifth prince also thought about the various things he was doing when he came to Xialin Jiangrentai Hospital, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

In fact, can't the other princes and courtiers see what Linyuan is doing?No, they only have brains, and if they could guess that she dared to do this, she must have obtained the emperor's permission in private.

So I will never run over like the eldest prince, saying that Lin Yuan is bearing the grace of the emperor and disobeying the emperor's will—if Lin Yuan is really such an unclear person, he will not walk away as a woman To this official position today, he has won the trust of the emperor.

So even the censors gave up impeachment.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince always goes his own way, 'going his own way and letting others talk'.

Not only has he walked out of the unique way of being a general of the country, but he also has to point out others, and those who are fearless will come to the emperor to impeach him.

The thrush father-in-law still had a face carved from wood, but he made a horrible expression in his heart.

He even feels a little bit sorry for the master he has served for many years: the eldest son is an idiot, the emperor must feel bad about it.

No one understands the emperor's temperament and true thoughts better than the eunuch Thrush.

The prince next to him only saw the emperor's extraordinary trust in Lin Yuanzheng, and thought it was just like the emperor indulged Qin imperial physician, he indulged Lin Jiang to his confidant imperial physician.

Only Eunuch Huamei knew that the things Linyuan was doing were actually what the emperor wanted to do.

He wants to be a holy emperor, govern the country with filial piety, and will not do anything that violates the rules of his ancestors.

But in fact, the emperor himself is not a law-abiding emperor. He likes this kind of thing that walks on the bottom line of his ancestors the most.

How to make the courtiers speechless, and how to make myself change the old system, is the emperor's favorite and most enjoyable game.

In this regard, the emperor admired Lin Jiang and his daughter very much.

The eldest prince's lawsuit came up, and he was the only one who was doomed to be unlucky.

At this time, the eldest prince was being impassioned, and he ended with the latest information about Granny Hu: "The ancestors of Emperor Cheng once clearly ordered that female doctors who were kicked out of the palace were not allowed to practice medicine anymore, but Mrs. Lin knowingly committed the crime and invited the remnants of the past to go to her own medical clinic. It can be seen that Longwei despises the royal family and the father. Please see the father and punish him!"

At the end, he knelt down to show his solemnity.

The emperor had been looking at Zhi Yi from the very beginning, with an indiscriminate expression of joy and anger, now seeing that the eldest prince finally shut up and knelt down, he asked indifferently: "Is it finished?"

The eldest prince raised his head and raised his chest: "My son is finished!"

The atmosphere in the room instantly became weird.The rest of the princes who were good at trying to figure out the emperor's mind felt a shudder down their spines, a little afraid that the emperor's father's dragon face would be furious next.

Only the eldest prince held his head high and held his chest high, waiting for the emperor's just ruling.

However, the emperor didn't get angry, he just nodded lazily: "It's over, then get out."

He also gave orders to Eunuch Thrush: "Take a seat at the New Year's banquet tonight."

Father-in-law Huamei responded, thinking in his mind: After the eighth prince, the eldest prince once again won the honor of being kicked out of the New Year's banquet.

The eldest prince instantly became an ice sculpture.

But Eunuch Thrush wouldn't let him continue to be in a daze, he quickly winked at the two eunuchs in the house and the two Long Banwei at the door, asking them to 'invite' the eldest prince out, and practice the sentence just said by the emperor, 'Get out when you're done talking' decree.

The second prince always likes to watch the Eldest Prince being lively and see the eldest brother being unlucky, but he also wanted to pretend to be a good man in front of his father, so he came forward and said, "Eldest brother can't talk, so I can't blame my father for being angry, but it's New Year's Eve today, please forgive me Brother once..."

The emperor turned his eyes to him, still calm and calm: "You can also go out to accompany him."

The second prince shut up immediately: "My son doesn't dare, but I will rely on my father's holy order."

He wanted to pretend to be a living bodhisattva, but he almost turned into a clay bodhisattva. The second prince was so frightened that he was about to have a heart attack. He hurriedly ran away, hoping that his father would stop looking at him.
