[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

"The two girls should go to bed earlier." Madam Xia wanted to be serious, but she still put on a smile, as if looking at the two children, and said to Lin Jiang and Daiyu: "I know best, you two The girl loves to chat at night, and refuses to sleep even in the middle of the night."

When Lin Jiang came back last time, he ate up all the walnut kernels that Xueyan peeled during the day.

Lin Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, we have enough."

Mother Xia has always been unable to do anything about Lin Jiang, so she told Daiyu: "Girl should take a good rest these few days, getting married is not an easy task."

Especially for marrying into Prince Shao's Mansion, the complicated and solemn process of that day alone is enough to make people suffer, not to mention that after marriage, there will be no leisure for a day, just recognizing the sons and relatives of the Zhou family's royal family, I am afraid that it will be exhausting. Do ten days and a half months.

Madam Xia felt that she had countless words to tell her, but she also thought that the girl could only stay at home for a few days, so she swallowed it again and walked out slowly.

She still stood at the door dazedly for a while, with a few tears in her eyes: She has served the Lin family for several generations and has been in the Lin family all her life, but this time she really wants to go with the girl and continue to take care of the girl in the palace ah.

But Daiyu only said that the sisters had all left home, so she asked Nanny Xia to stay at home so that she could take care of her father, and not let him be alone by himself.

Nanny Xia was in a dilemma, and finally agreed to stay in the Lin family at Daiyu's request.

But when I think about it, it will be difficult to see the girl in the future. Madam Xia is fine these days when she is busy during the day, but when she is free at night, she can't help crying.

But when Baoshi came to deliver the ironed official uniform to Lin Jiang, she saw Madam Xia wiping tears at the door of the two girls, and hurried forward to comfort her.

That's right, Lin Jiang took the gem back to the Lin family to help, leaving Wei Ren alone to watch the cat at home.

In the house, Lin Jiang was lying on the bed, watching Daiyu combing her hair under the lamp.

For a woman, after she gets married, she no longer wears the bun in the boudoir, but changes to the bun of the married woman.

That's why women who are determined not to marry have the saying of self-combing.

Before Daiyu went to bed, she was just combing her hair in front of the mirror, but her hands gradually slowed down.

Lin Jiang knew that she must be a little scared.

Daiyu is different from her, she is a girl with a more sensitive heart.And the environment she was going to was also the complex royal palace.

"younger sister."

Daiyu came back to her senses, turned her head and smiled at Lin Jiang, and put down the comb.

Lin Jiang said something else on purpose to dispel her worries, so she took out a brocade bag hidden in the quilt that she had prepared a long time ago and gave it to Daiyu.

"This is my wedding present to my sister."

Daiyu took it over, took it apart and pulled it out, and inside was a suet jade pendant carved like a hibiscus, tied with a black string.

What's more special is that there is a golden bead embedded in the stamen of the jade pendant.

Daiyu took it out and put it in the palm of her hand, feeling the warmth from the tentacles, she raised her head and smiled at Lin Jiang: "Thank you sister, I like it very much. I have always carried the bracelet that my sister gave me before, and I always feel uneasy when I take it off. "

Lin Jiang came over: "The jade pendant is second, what I want to give you is what is hidden in this golden bead with stamens."

She motioned Daiyu to hold the jade pendant, and then Lin Jiang tore off the black knot at the knot.The golden bead in the heart of the hibiscus flower split open, revealing a crimson elixir.

The pill, which is only the size of a grain of rice, exudes a strange luster under the lamp.

【King of Hell's Life-Saving Pill】: A elixir for the law of cause and effect.No matter what the circumstances, even if there is only one breath left to be seriously injured and dying, it can extend the lifespan by six hours.

This is one of the most precious items that Lin Jiang got from the diamond blind box.

Just like [a magical flower], the value of these two products lies not only in their efficacy, but also in the fact that they are rare products that can be separated from Lin Jiang and still work after being given to others.

Lin Jiang had a lot of life-saving things in her hands, such as life-saving gold needles, and she kept four of them for herself.

But these cannot be separated from her, just like the other products she has drawn, such as [The Witch's Curse] [This is a dagger that sees blood and seals the throat], they can only be used by herself, once they are out of her hands , is nothing more than an ordinary painting and a knife.

Since he started smoking blind boxes, Lin Jiang has drawn a lot of good things, but the only ones that can be used directly by people around him are [A Magical Flower] and [Health-Saving Pill].

She distributed these two items according to needs, and gave each of Wei Ren and Dai Yu one.

"Sister, if there is any accident and I'm not by your side, you just take this pill." Lin Jiang looked at Daiyu with a rare solemnity: "Give me time to get to your side."

Daiyu understood what Lin Jiang meant, and knew more about the preciousness of this medicine. She also nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, sister, I will keep this jade pendant with me, and I will never tell anyone else."

Lin Jiang stretched out his hand and carefully closed the gold beads at the stamens, then took out two spare sashes and gave them to Daiyu: "This is a small mechanism that my father got from Qianxiang country, and we asked our craftsmen to embed it in this jade pendant." It took a little effort.”

She looked at Daiyu, smiled brightly as always, and said, "Sister, I can't tell you that everything will be smooth in the future, but if you lie to the child, you won't believe it."

"Life is such a long road, and there will definitely be hurdles, big and small, but together, we will pass."

Daiyu held the hibiscus jade pendant in her hand.

Yes, maybe the days in the future will not be as clear and uniform, and there will be occasional wind and rain, but the family is here, and it will pass.

October [-]th.

The Lin Mansion is red everywhere, and everyone's cheeks are full of joy.

Early in the morning, before the sun was up, the 'Master of Ceremonies' sent by the Queen Mother arrived at Lin Jiang.

As soon as she got off the sedan chair, she hurried a few steps forward to help a gray-haired old lady who had just got off the front sedan chair.

This old lady has a lot of background, so Daiyu took Madam Xia to greet her in person.

The wedding rule of the royal family in the Great Zhou Dynasty is to select two Quanfu wives from the clan. One with both children will go to the woman's home and put rouge on the bride's lips as a gift to relatives; As a welcoming person, when waiting for the bride to get off the sedan chair, hold the girl's hand and cross a vermilion threshold, symbolizing that she has become the bride of the royal family of Zhou from now on.

Among them, it is very easy to choose a wife to send off. There is an old concubine Gong in Beijing, who is a generation older than King Shao, and the emperor always calls her an uncle.The old princess is not deaf and blind at the age of 80, and can walk around the mansion by lifting her legs.There are two sons and two daughters under her knees, which is really the benchmark of Mrs. Quanfu.In the past ten years, whenever there is a big wedding in the clan, as long as the head of the family has enough face, she will be invited as a send-off relative, and rouge will be put on the bride to add joy.

No, the old man arrived at the Lin Mansion early in the morning, saw Daiyu smiling, without any pretensions of the old princess, entered the house holding hands and said: "Good boy, from now on we will be our family."

On the other hand, it was hard to choose another bride who required a high status, because in previous years, it was Princess Shao who went to be the bride for others.

It was Princess Qi Yang who offered to be the bridegroom, and went directly to King Shao Mao and recommended herself: "Uncle Wang, in terms of status in this capital, unless the mother or empress is out of the palace, I will be counted."

Shao Wangyuan was still hesitating about Princess Qi Yang's seniority, and the princess said: "Uncle Wang, don't forget that at the very beginning of this marriage, it was because I mentioned Miss Lin in front of His Majesty that I made trouble in your house. I thought about it and finally became this marriage."

Just this sentence moved King Shao, yes, the marriage is destined, at the beginning, it was indeed Princess Qi Yang's praise that aroused his thoughts.

All things have their own eternity, since this matter started with Princess Qi Yang, she was in front of the man's door, and finally took the bride to cross the threshold, it can be regarded as a good story.

On the day of Daiyu's wedding, Lin Jiang wore an official uniform for convenience.

After all, the female family members such as Sister Feng and Sanchun can only accompany Daiyu to put on makeup and talk in the back house. When Daiyu goes out to get on the sedan chair, they can no longer follow her.

Lin Jiang changed his official uniform on purpose so that he could go out all the way to see the eldest son who came to marry him.

When Daiyu went to the front yard to bid farewell to Lin Ruhai with Zhou Liheng according to the time, Lin Jiang came out of the gate together.

Wei Ren is returning to his old business, leading Long Jinwei to be responsible for today's security work.

He still remembered that when he got married that day, Zhou Liheng, who was the best man, was thrown a lot of sachets by the onlookers on the street.

It didn't matter at the time, but today Zhou Liheng is the groom, it's best not to have any high-altitude parabolic objects, lest if you try to come up with an inch, you will be smashed to the crown of the crown prince, which is not very good.

Lin Jiang encouraged him to "work hard", and went to wait at the bride's red sedan chair in the front yard - when Zhou Liheng and Daiyu finished worshiping Lin Ruhai, Daiyu would get on the sedan chair from here, and then left all the way through the gate of Lin's house .

Speaking of which, because Wei Ren is already married, he can't be the 'best man' and stay by Zhou Liheng's side.Coincidentally, Gao Qiyu also got married this year, and unfortunately lost this position.

Therefore, the ones who accompanied Zhou Liheng this time were one cousin and one cousin.The cousin is a young man from the Wei family, and he was born elegant and handsome, but the cousin is a direct son donated by Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and he inherited the standard appearance characteristics of the Zhou royal family - ordinary people.

It wasn't Lin Jiang Wangpo selling melons, but Wei Ren and Gao Qiyu. Although these two people were not as good-looking as Zhou Liheng, they would definitely be praised as young talents.

And each has its own temperament, one is an imposing young general, and the other is a galloping young man.In comparison, Zhou Liheng's two 'best men' are really mediocre.So he made Zhou Liheng stand out more and more, and it was really the phrase "when he appears, all the light is concentrated on him".

This is also the first time for Lin Jiang to see Zhou Liheng wearing a vermilion robe. Wearing such a strong and pure color on him, it still looks like he is as rich as jade, and his bones are natural. His eyes are like the moon reflecting on the spring stone, still clear and gentle. .

Lin Jiang always thought that he could not cry, but at this moment, seeing the emcee supporting Daiyu into the sedan chair and Zhou Liheng waiting by the side, he suddenly burst into tears.

She watched all the way until the bride's sedan chair left the gate of the Lin family, and then wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

Then he said to Wei Ren who came to the side to accompany him to comfort him: "You don't need to persuade me, the eldest son was born so well, I have no regrets about sister Lin marrying him."

Wei Ren:?So this is the prince who made my daughter-in-law cry?

Let's talk about Zhou's royal family's marriage, there is one thing that is completely different from the world.

That is, after the bride arrived at the man's house, she couldn't immediately visit the ancestral hall: the ancestral hall of the Zhou royal family was enshrined in the palace.

Therefore, in the Zhou royal family's marriage, the bride enters the house, and the wedding is considered to be completed after three prostrations. On the next day, a special handover is sent to ask for orders to enter the palace to meet the ancestors of the Zhou family.

This has to be done by the respectable clan members who can successfully complete the ceremony, and those distant clans from the side branches may not be able to enter the palace to worship the ancestral hall the next day-if there is a banquet in the palace that day, it is natural to be tight with the palace first. arrange.

This problem does not exist in Prince Shao's Mansion.

The emperor had ordered in advance that Prince Shao and his concubine must come to the palace the next day, not only to pay homage to their ancestors, but also to meet him as the emperor.

As a curious emperor, he had waited too long: King Shao had privately mentioned several times in front of him that he was very satisfied with his son and his daughter-in-law, and Princess Qi Yang even praised the girl from the Lin family several times.

The emperor is really looking forward to this couple.

And after seeing it with his own eyes, the emperor understood Princess Qi Yang and Prince Shao.

--

On the morning of October [-]th, when the emperor saw Prince Shao and his wife entering the door, he was in a daze.

In fact, if you look at the two separately, Zhou Liheng is the emperor's little cousin who has seen a lot, no matter how beautiful his appearance is, the emperor is used to it.

And Daiyu, as a boudoir girl, although the emperor has never seen it, but there are countless beauties in the harem, and she is a beauty with extraordinary looks. As the king of a country, he has naturally seen it.

But the reason why there are four words 'a perfect match' in this world is because when two beauties, especially two beauties who are in harmony with each other, walk in together, the addition of each other will illuminate each other even more.

It is several times greater than the impact of beauty alone.

Even Prince Shao, who entered the palace early and was waiting in Mingzheng Palace to escort his son and daughter-in-law, couldn't help being stunned when he saw the two of them entering.

In addition, although King Shao had seen Zhou Liheng and Daiyu coming together, they were only wearing homely clothes that day, unlike today, Zhou Liheng and Daiyu were wearing the full outfit of the prince and his wife, entering the palace to greet the emperor.

The crown clothes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were solemn and gorgeous, and the princes and sons crowned with four-clawed dragons and nine beads, and held red treasures in their titles.The concubine of the world also follows the rank of her husband, wearing four phoenix crowns, nine flower hairpins and nine pearls. [1] With such clothes and such personal qualities, the two of them are so radiant and fashionable, even the father-in-law Thrush, who doesn't care much about appearance, can't help being surprised, squinting slightly, and can hardly bear this brilliance.

The last time someone gave him such a sense of amazement was when Princess Shao entered the palace in full glory.

At that time, the emperor was still an unknown prince, and the father-in-law Thrush was just an eunuch behind the emperor, quite far away, but he was still shocked by Princess Shao's beauty.

It's just that at that time, it was King Shao who was standing next to Concubine Shao—it wasn't that the thrush was disrespectful, but that the two of them really didn't match in terms of appearance alone.

Compared with today's perfect marriage between the prince and concubine, it is far behind.

After the emperor came back to his senses, he nodded deeply, and said to the excited King Shao who was also watching: "I congratulate Uncle Wang, you are really a beautiful son and wife!"

King Shao couldn't hold it back, and forgot to be modest: "Isn't it, it's so good!" As soon as his son and daughter-in-law stood in front of him, he could imagine how beautiful his grandchildren would be in the future. When the time comes to take it out, he is the most beautiful son of the Zhou family from the lineage of Prince Shao's residence.

Seeing that King Shao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he lost his composure, and the father-in-law Thrush beside him couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.

--

Besides, it seems that even the weather intends to perfect the Prince Shao's Mansion. On October [-]th, the sky was bright and the temperature was suitable, so it was just right to wear jackets.

But within two days, the sky in the capital changed, a gust of cold air hit, it was called a big drop in temperature, and the north wind blew.

For this reason, Prince Shao's Mansion gave another gift to Guanxing Pavilion: It really is a master, it's a good day.

By the beginning of November, it was already so cold in central Beijing that if people didn't wear woolen clothes, they wouldn't be able to stand outside for long.

This cold season is undoubtedly a kind of torture for the courtiers of the upper court.

At this time, Lin Jiang felt the superiority of the hospital: he didn't have to go up to the court, and he could shrink in a warm room instead of blowing cold wind in a tall hall with four open doors.

As the end of the year approached, there were a lot of papers and things in the newspapers from all over the country. They all hoped that the emperor would solve them before the end of the year. Otherwise, it would be another month or two.

Therefore, the morning dynasties in these few days ended a little later.

The emperor felt very tired when he woke up this morning, so he thought about going back to rest until the next court.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand still, so he quickly supported the dragon chair and sat down again.

Sitting together, the courtiers all noticed it, and the father-in-law Thrush rushed to help him at the first time, and almost threw the whisk away.

The emperor closed his eyes and waved his hands: "It's nothing, I just didn't rest well last night."

But there is nothing trivial about the dragon's body, and this matter still left a shadow and doubt in the hearts of the courtiers.You know, the emperor is already 47 years old.This age is not old, but in this dynasty, it is by no means young. If one suddenly gets sick, who knows what will happen.

The news that the emperor's dragon body was uneasy soon spread to the harem.

The imperial concubine panicked at that time, and called the female official who advised her: "Didn't you say that the emperor is healthy and will live a long life?"

"If the emperor is not well, you don't want to live!"

The female officer was suddenly threatened with death and almost cried, so she had to kneel aside.

The noble concubine was so panicked that she kept turning around in the palace, if something happened to the emperor right now, her son was still so young and fell into the hands of the wolf-like brothers, what good would happen.

Especially the noble concubine herself does not surround anyone in the harem, relying on her good birth and high status, and the former emperor doted on her, she really only puts the queen in her eyes, or the one who is equal, and the rest are in her heart, That's really rubbish for everyone here.

Because she was looking forward to her son becoming the crown prince, the imperial concubine has been somewhat hostile to the biological mothers of the princes these years, and she definitely has no good friendships, and there are quite a few who have turned against each other.

So the imperial concubine could not accept that something happened to the emperor.

The female officer who was threatened: ... I really don't need to give you advice, what kind of crime have I suffered, and I have to be such a master.

Although the imperial concubine was the one who was particularly panicked, the rest of the concubines and princes were also in chaos.

The most confused person is still the eldest prince: if the father suddenly falls ill and there is no time to establish a crown prince, then the eldest son... the eldest prince has a new ambition.

When Lin Jiang arrived at Mingzheng Palace, he felt that the atmosphere was quite different from the past.

Although he took over the errand of the Jingying Jiedushi, Wei Ren didn't go out of Beijing every day to inspect barracks and other places in the suburbs. Most of the time, he worked at the Jingying Office of the Ministry of War in the imperial city.

And if the emperor had anything to do, he was still used to leaving it to him.

Even at this time, Sheng Gong was uneasy, and the emperor did not call the newly appointed Long Jinwei to lead, and the eldest son of the Duke of Qin came to guard him, but he still called Wei Ren to come over and block the princes and ministers who wanted to pay their respects at the door.

When Lin Jiang arrived, he saw His Majesty Wei Ren standing at the door of the inner room, as inviolable as a blade.There was also a rare look of anxiety on the face of the thrush father-in-law.

In fact, if the emperor had other discomforts, such as back pain and leg pain, they wouldn't be so nervous.

That's the headache.

It really has to be worrying.

Lin Jiang walked in quickly, but she was more surprised than worried: she always asked the emperor for a peace pulse on time, and just did it the day before yesterday, and she didn't find any signs of relapse of the emperor's old illness.

As soon as she entered the door, she checked her eyes and felt her pulse again, and she couldn't help but feel angry and funny.

"Your Majesty, how long did you sleep last night?"

The emperor bowed his head and coughed twice: "There are always more than two hours."

Lin Jiang asked again with a straight face: "What diet did you eat last night? Have you been greedy for greasy, spicy and stimulating food recently?"

The emperor turned his head: "It's just the ones served in the imperial dining room. I just don't have much appetite recently, so I ate more good ones yesterday." What good ones?It is definitely not a tonic medicinal diet, but a spicy and refreshing one that whets the appetite.

Eunuch Thrush and Wei Ren listened and asked questions and answered them.

Especially for a close person like Mr. Huamei, he immediately reacted and said: "Yuan Lin means that Your Majesty is suffering from overworked dragon body and poor diet."

As Lin Jiang nodded, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

But Lin Jiang felt that the emperor should not be relieved, she said seriously: "I have been in the past six months, no, earlier than this, since the time of the emperor's death, I have advised the emperor not to be too tired. Your Majesty's illness this time, It’s just lack of sleep and some colds, when the wind and cold are about to rise, the spleen and stomach are out of balance, and you are greedy for spicy and stimulating things—all kinds of small reasons made up a pile.”

Lin Jiang asked again: "Did your Majesty feel particularly loss of appetite this morning, and felt a little nauseous, so he went to court without eating anything?"

The emperor nodded again.

Lin Jiang thought: Well, it's a full set of overworked occupational diseases.It is estimated that the emperor's eyes darkened in the morning, and there was also a transient hypoglycemia, or it might be due to the transient high blood pressure after staying up late.

"In short, His Majesty is not seriously ill, but there are a lot of minor illnesses."

The emperor just listened quietly.

There are too many things in his mind: the old enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Bei Rong, has not invaded these years, and it seems that there have been internal conflicts, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it; and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor had to sort out veterans and cultivate his confidantes, It is also impossible to relax all day.

I stayed up late yesterday because I was looking at a batch of firearms list that Lin Changzhou sent back from the West—because the emperor looked far enough to see the threat of these firearms, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he began to worry about whether future generations could withstand the Western countries. More violent firearms.

In addition, the next morning, when I propped myself up again, I became dizzy and fell down.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Lin Jiang was about to sigh: she had persuaded the emperor a long time ago, she can cure diseases, but not fatigue.

Just like if it is myocarditis, she has medicines to treat it, but if the human heart has no obvious symptoms, but just beats enough times, quietly stops working, she has nothing to do.

People can never run past time and win time.

As a human being, energy is also limited. Even in the same physical condition, people who are content to maintain a quiet life will naturally live longer and more peacefully than those who work hard.

So she kept asking the emperor to rest. The human body is like a leek to a certain extent. It has a strong recovery ability, but it must be given time to grow, so it cannot be cut all the time.

What the doctor can do is like watering, which can promote the growth of this leek, but if it has been cut down regardless of the consequences, what is the use of just fertilizing and watering.

It still takes time to rest and recover.

The emperor finally raised his hand and surrendered under Lin Jiang's serious and repeated request: "Okay, I understand, you can prescribe some medicine for me, and I promise to rest well for the next Chinese New Year."

Lin Jiang had no choice but to think that a patient like the Emperor was not as good as the Supreme Emperor to some extent.The Supreme Emperor regretted his life very much, and he didn't need to be persuaded, so he tried every means to be quiet and refreshing.

But once the emperor devotes himself to the emperor's career he loves, he can't care about anything.
