[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Uncle Wu invited Lin Daiyu to come to Lin Jian's room.

When he went there, he found out that Lin Daiyu had never touched the food he had sent to the next room. Seeing him coming, Lin Daiyu quickly got up and asked him, "Uncle Wu, how is third brother? I can go and see." him?"

Although Lin Daiyu was in the room, she kept looking out of the window. Xiao Yu, the tenth and twelve princes, Yu Guifei and others left one after another, and Lin Daiyu saw them all.

Uncle Wu hurriedly said: "The imperial physician and the doctors invited by the mansion have already given the young master a prescription, and the medicine will be ready in a while and sent to the young master. The young master heard that the girl is here, so let the subordinates come down and invite the girl in. "

Uncle Wu was afraid that Lin Daiyu would be hungry, and seeing that not only the food had not been touched on the table, but even the snacks and tea he ordered had not been touched, so Uncle Wu couldn't help but persuade Lin Daiyu to use some snacks to cushion her stomach before going over.

Lin Daiyu said no need, and asked Uncle Wu, "Did third brother never eat?"

Uncle Wu nodded: "The young master just vomited blood. The imperial doctor said that there is no rush to eat, so the young master took the medicine first. Wait half an hour after taking the medicine before eating. But the young master's stomach is still weak, the food should be light and soft. , and now the kitchen is cooking some porridge and vegetables for the young master, and it will be delivered later."

Lin Daiyu heard this and said: "Then I will go to see the third brother first, and I will eat with him when the third brother eats."

The distance from the next room to Lin Jian's bedroom is only a few steps, even if you have to pass under the porch, but there is a curtain outside, and the distance is not very far, Lin Daiyu didn't put on a cloak, so she passed directly.

Looking at him from the corridor before, Lin Daiyu felt that Lin Jian was very thin because of the distance between the curtains and gauze curtains. Now sitting on the side of the bed and watching him closely, she saw that Lin Jian's thin cheekbones were protruding , Looking really like a patient, Lin Daiyu felt sad when she thought of his mental state a while ago.

When Lin Jian saw Lin Daiyu, he smiled very gently with his eyebrows and eyes crooked, and he went out of his way to forgive her: "Miss Lin, don't worry, and don't worry, I just have a minor illness, and I'll be fine after a few days of treatment."

Can it be a minor illness to be sick enough to vomit blood?

Lin Daiyu had just learned about Lin Jian's diagnosis from Uncle Wu. When Lin Ruhai was ill, she was unable to serve Lin Ruhai, but she knew the condition of Lin Ruhai's later illness. vomiting blood.

Besides, Lin Daiyu herself is a chronically ill person, and she also suffers from congenital insufficiency, what is the concept of tuberculosis, can she not know?

As soon as Lin Daiyu saw Lin Jian's smile, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, but she didn't cry, the tears caused by the soreness in her heart forced Lin Daiyu back.

Now that things have happened, she doesn't dare to show her worries to Lin Jian anymore. She is afraid that Lin Jian will be burdened in her heart. This seriously ill person needs peace of mind to take care of him most. This visitor looks worried and crying , will make the patient feel uncomfortable.

Lin Daiyu also looked at Lin Jian and smiled, the redness in her eyes was slowly fading, her eyes were soft and her smile was gentle: "I came to watch the ceremony early, and I wanted to see the third brother's coronation ceremony. I also wanted to give third brother a present in person. "

Xiangwu Xianrou was still wondering why Uncle Wu didn't know about Lin Daiyu's early arrival, and looking at Uncle Wu's appearance, it seemed that Lin Jian didn't know that Lin Daiyu had come early either.But Lin Daiyu originally wanted to surprise Lin Jian without telling him, and also asked Qian Ying not to tell Lin Jian about her early arrival, so Lin Daiyu didn't care about this, and Xiangwu Xianrou didn't have to worry about it.

Such insignificant matters were not in Lin Daiyu's eyes.

Lin Jian became crowned today, so he received a lot of congratulatory gifts from the guests, but when Lin Daiyu said this, Lin Jian's eyes lit up, and he was looking forward to the gift Lin Daiyu gave him.

Lin Daiyu handed the red brocade box that she had been holding to Lin Jian.

She had always held this palm-sized brocade box in her hand, and wanted to give it to Lin Jian herself after the crowning ceremony.But who knew that an accident happened on the way to the crown ceremony, Lin Jian suddenly vomited blood, and Lin Daiyu couldn't deliver it, but it's not too late to deliver it now.

She was worried that Lin Jian would be oblivious to everything, and she didn't even care about the cloak and cloak, but she just remembered to hold these brocade boxes in her palm, and she couldn't bear to put them down, let alone leave her body.

Lin Jian smiled and reached out to take the brocade box that Lin Daiyu handed over. Lin Jian's fingertips accidentally touched Lin Daiyu's wrist. The touch made him stunned, and then he frowned.

He was not surprised by the smooth and smooth skin he accidentally touched, but by the frosty coldness on Lin Daiyu's wrist.

Lin Jian immediately called Qian Ying to come in, asked Qian Ying to bring a hand stove, and asked Qian Ying to get two more charcoal pots, and even specially got two soup pots, put them under Lin Daiyu's feet, and gave Lin Daiyu Warm your feet.

Lin Jian first took the hand stove in his hand to test the temperature, and felt that it was not hot but very warm, then sent the hand stove to Lin Daiyu, then picked up the red brocade box and opened it to see the gift Lin Daiyu gave him.

Lin Daiyu didn't pay attention to everything before, and she refused to use the hand stove in the next room. Now Lin Jian personally handed over the hand stove for her, and she held it tightly in her hand, feeling the gentle warmth slowly penetrate into the bottom of her heart. The coldness in her heart gradually dissipated bit by bit.

The brocade box was opened, and the things inside were caught in Lin Jian's eyes.

What Lin Daiyu gave to Lin Jian was a green jade crown.There is also a cluster of wind bamboos engraved on the jade crown, and nothing is engraved on the jade hairpin that matches the jade crown, it is simply carved into shape.This set looks simple, but it is extraordinarily warm and clear. Even if the light in the room is not so bright, it seems to be self-generating, very beautiful.

People who suffer from the cold and vomit blood will feel very uncomfortable in their lungs. Lin Jian's medicine is not ready yet. Although he is smiling, Lin Daiyu knows that he is still very uncomfortable.

In order to divert Lin Jian's attention, Lin Daiyu smiled and talked to him about the selection and method of the jade crown.

Mentioning that the wind bamboo on the jade crown was carved by Lin Daiyu, Lin Jian's eyes lit up: "Is this really carved by a girl?"

Lin Daiyu said with a slight smile: "I don't know jade carving, I just drew a few shapes and the craftsman couldn't carve the shape I wanted. I simply carved a few strokes on the jade crown and gave it to the craftsman. It looks like this, so there is such a finished product. This jade crown is simple in style, I just wonder if the third brother still likes it?"

Lin Jian smiled and said: "The Taoist court is quiet, the moss is as deep as the bamboo. This jade crown is simple in style, but has a deep meaning. I like it very much."

When Lin Jian was about to say that he was very happy that Lin Daiyu gave him such a gift with so much heart, Qian Ying brought the boiled medicine.

Lin Daiyu's hands and feet had already warmed up. Seeing that Lin Jian didn't want Qian Ying to serve him to drink medicine, and she was afraid that Lin Jian was not feeling well and it would be inconvenient for her to drink medicine, so she took the medicine bowl after Qian Ying helped Lin Jian up. Get up, softly said: "Third brother, let me do it."

Lin Daiyu took the initiative to feed the medicine, so Lin Jian naturally wished for it.He accepted with a smile, obediently took Lin Daiyu's hand to drink the medicine, the medicine was very bitter, but he was not afraid of bitterness, he drank the medicine into his mouth, he felt that every mouthful was sweet.

Uncle Wu got Qiao's instructions. After getting in touch with her these days, he also knew that Lin Daiyu's health was not very good. He was afraid that Lin Daiyu would starve to death, so he asked Qian Ying to tell Lin Daiyu when she came in with the medicine, It would be better to let Lin Daiyu use some things first.

After listening to Qian Ying's words, Lin Jian realized that Lin Daiyu hadn't had lunch yet, so he hurriedly ordered Qian Ying to bring the meal. He wanted to watch Lin Daiyu eat, but Lin Daiyu refused, and she insisted on waiting half an hour to meet with her Lin Jian had dinner together.

Lin Jian laughed: "I just drank medicine here, and the room is full of medicine smell. I'm afraid that the food will be contaminated with these smells, and the girl will not taste good after eating."

But Lin Daiyu said seriously: "When I was sick, the room was still filled with medicine gas? The third brother also accompanied me to eat together in the room. I who take medicine like I eat, how could I be afraid of being smoked by the medicine gas? And me?"

"Third Brother, you don't need to persuade me. I've only used a few oranges, and I'm not very hungry. Let's eat with Third Brother when the time comes."

Lin Daiyu insisted on this, but Lin Jian didn't insist, so she let Qian Ying go with a smile, and told him to bring the food in half an hour, and he and Lin Daiyu ate together.

Lin Jian liked the jade crown that Lin Daiyu gave him very much, and he couldn't bear to ask Qian Yingnao to put it away, so he put the brocade box containing the jade crown next to his pillow carefully, thinking that when he wanted to see it, Can be seen from time to time.

Lin Daiyu vomited blood and drank the medicine because of Lin Jian's concern. The sick man was short-spirited, and the imperial physician even told Lin Jian to rest more. Therefore, Lin Daiyu didn't talk to Lin Jian after drinking the medicine, so she just Sitting beside the bed silently accompanied Lin Jian, and closed Lin Jian's eyes to refresh himself.

It was rare for the two of them to sit so quietly and intimately, so how could Lin Jian be willing to close his eyes and rest?

He didn't speak, just looked at Lin Daiyu silently, Lin Daiyu saw that there seemed to be reluctance in his dark eyes, Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, and said softly: "Third brother, don't worry, rest for a while. If I don't leave, I will stay here with you." Third brother. When the time comes, I will ask third brother to eat."

Lin Jian looked at Lin Daiyu silently again, stared at her deeply for a moment, and closed his eyes after taking a deep breath. He said yes, adjusted his posture, put his arms under the quilt, and closed his eyes. went to sleep.

The wind and snow outside are rustling, and the heavy snow has no intention of stopping. The closed doors and windows cut off the cold outside, and the house is as warm as spring and silent, except for the faint and shallow breathing of two people, only the occasional burst of fire in the charcoal basin. The sound of sparks.

Half an hour passed by slowly, and Lin Jian opened his eyes just in time. He opened his eyes suddenly, which surprised Lin Daiyu who was staring at him.

Seeing Lin Daiyu in a daze, Lin Jian sat up by himself and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, are you hungry? I'll ask Qian Ying to bring the food."

Lin Jian raised his voice to call Qian Ying in, after giving him instructions, Lin Daiyu still couldn't recover, she looked at Lin Jian's smiling face and subconsciously felt a little puzzled.

How does this look like a seriously ill person who vomits blood?In order to allow the patient to recuperate with peace of mind, whenever a doctor prescribes a prescription, there will always be some soothing herbs in the prescription. After drinking the medicine, most of them need to sleep peacefully for an hour or two.

How could anyone wake up on time in half an hour like Lin Jian?And his pupils were brighter than the stars in the sky, and he was not as depressed as a sick person.

Qian Ying quickly brought the food, and Lin Daiyu was really hungry. She heard Lin Jian clutching her chest and coughing twice. I also forgot.

The two had dinner together, and after Qian Ying removed the bowls and chopsticks, Uncle Wu came to report that Feng Ziying had come to visit Lin Jian in the mansion.

After hearing this, Lin Jian lowered his eyebrows and slightly curled his lips: "He came quite quickly."

Uncle Wu said: "The young master told me earlier that the master and his wife are not in the mansion now. The news of the young master's serious illness spread, and the young master wants to close the door to thank guests and rest in peace of mind. Many people came to visit the mansion after hearing the news, and the subordinates made decisions according to the young master's order. They blocked them one by one. But General Feng is no better than others, his subordinates still need to ask the young master to show him, this General Feng, will the young master see you or not?"

Ying Tianyi and Mrs. Ying have already left the residence.Although everyone had left, everyone still had Lin Jian's illness in their hearts.

Someone sent someone to the mansion to inquire. Uncle Wu followed Lin Jian's instructions and told the imperial physician word for word. The imperial physician returned to the palace and returned to the palace. The palace soon found out about Lin Jian's condition. It only took a while. In that time, the news that Lin Jian Guanli vomited blood and the imperial doctor said that Lin Jian was in poor health and that he might develop tuberculosis spread like wildfire in the capital.

The news spread quickly, and those who were paying attention to Lin Jian and the situation in the West Garden at this moment would naturally know about it.

Lin Jian looked at Uncle Wu and said with a smile: "General Feng was my companion in the palace when I was young. He came to visit me because he is kind and righteous. We can't stop him. Let him come in."

Uncle Wu went out to invite people when he was busy.

Only then did Lin Jian look at Lin Daiyu, and said softly with a smile, "Miss Lin, it's inconvenient for you to see Feng Ziying. It's not right to go out at this time, it's very cold outside, so you should go inside and take shelter. He only talks to me outside , he won’t go in there.”

Lin Jian had always separated the study room from the bedroom, but in winter, sometimes it would be inconvenient to go back and forth between the two places before going to bed to read or review official documents, so he separated a small study room in the bedroom, which contained some of the things he was reading recently. Books and documents.

There is also a curtain partition in the small study room in the inner room, and there is even a charcoal basin burning. If the dark curtain is lowered, even if Feng Ziying comes to the front, Lin Daiyu cannot be seen sitting in it.

Lin Daiyu nodded, then got up quietly, and walked gently into the small study in the inner room.

Lin Jian ordered Qian Ying to lower the curtain of the small study, and then asked Qian Ying to wait in the room, and then Lin Jian lay down. He had just finished all this when Feng Ziying came in.

Feng Ziying's entrance was different from others.

The others knew that Lin Jian was ill, so they entered the door cautiously, for fear that the wind and snow outside would pour into the house and startle Lin Jian's body because the curtain was raised too much.Not so Feng Ziying.

He opened the door curtain wide open, almost lifted the door curtain completely, so when he entered the door, the wind and snow outside also poured into the house, a large gust of cold blowing in with the snowflakes, and hit the couch Lin Jian.

Standing by the side, Qian Ying could feel the power of the wind and snow. Although the snowflakes were melted by the warmth of the house in the middle, the cold wind was not just a joke. The cold wind directly blew Lin Jian's hair up , It took a long time before it fell.Even the curtain of the small study room in the inner room was lifted by the cold wind, but luckily it was not blown up.

Feng Ziying saw the cold wind pouring into the house and blowing on Lin Jian's body. Lin Jian shivered violently while hugging the quilt, and then began to cough heart-piercingly while clutching his chest.

Qian Ying hurriedly tucked the door curtain, and then came to give Lin Jian a pat on the back. Lin Jian took several sips of hot tea to suppress his cough. He leaned on two soft pillows and smiled weakly at Feng Ziying: "Ziying Brother, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

Feng Ziying smiled first: "No, no, I should say I'm sorry. I was careless and forgot that you are not in good health and can't blow your hair."

Feng Ziying apologized to Lin Jian repeatedly, and then looked at Lin Jian carefully, and then sat down on the round stool Qian Ying placed in front of the bed, and said with concern: "Yunxi, I just returned to the capital. In just a few days, I heard that you are not feeling well. It’s been a while since I saw you. Why are you so sick? I originally thought that I would come to your house to make an appointment with you to go hunting in the countryside during the New Year’s Eve. You look like this, I'm afraid you can't go out, right?"

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes imperceptibly when he heard Feng Ziying call him Yunxi.

He said that Feng Ziying came quickly, but within two hours after his coronation ceremony, Feng Ziying knew his name, and the news came very quickly.

When Lin Jian spoke again, his face was still full of weakness: "I'm afraid I can't do it. The imperial doctor has just seen it, and said that I must rest quietly at home for a few days. If I don't take good care of it, I'm afraid I'm going to get tuberculosis."

"No, I just asked Lord Zhao to enter the palace on my behalf to express my feelings to the Holy One, and allow me to rest at home for a while. During this period of time, I will not be able to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to do business. As for what happens next, let's see Yuanxiao In the future, my body will live up to my expectations."

Feng Ziying said: "No wonder. Before I came, I heard that the Holy Majesty heard about your condition from His Royal Highness King Zhao, and heard the imperial physician's diagnosis. Come to your mansion for medical treatment. Yunxi, it can be seen that the Holy Majesty still values ​​you very much. You are young, don’t talk about tuberculosis or not, as long as you take good care of it, what disease can’t be cured? "

"However, when you are recovering from illness, you still need to be calm. If you are always thinking about the errands in the yamen, or the government affairs in the court, and you can't rest, you may not be able to recover from your illness. I think my grandfather was in the hospital back then. He was ill when he was in the northwest, and he couldn't get better after several years of care, and finally he became an official and returned to Duzhong, and the chronic illness was gradually cured."

"The affairs of the yamen, I have the capital inspector and the deputy capital envoy to worry about, and there are still a few princes in the court, although at this moment, Prince Zhao was ordered by the Holy One to hand over the matter because of his previous errands. I have thought about the errand at hand, but Prince Rui is still there, as the Holy Majesty's direct son, he has handled the errands very well in recent days, and the Holy Majesty relies heavily on Prince Rui, Yunxi, in fact, you can rest assured."

When Feng Ziying was speaking, Lin Jian had been leaning weakly on the soft pillow, covering his chest and coughing. After Feng Ziying finished speaking, Lin Jian could only care about saying that brother Ziying was right, and then continued to cough with his throat pressed .

Feng Ziying squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Jian quietly for a while, then suddenly said with a playful smile: "Yunxi, speaking of it, I'm ten years older than you, and I can be regarded as watching you grow up. You have never been sick in cold weather or hot summer. You are well-known in the palace for your strong body. I heard that you are also in the Southern Anhui Army. Why did you get sick when you returned to the capital? Have you ever wondered why this is?"

As soon as Feng Ziying said this, Qian Ying, who was standing by the side, immediately blinked his eyes. Fortunately, Feng Ziying's attention was on Lin Jian, and he didn't notice Qian Ying's subtle change at all.

Lin Jian still had a sick look on his face, and he was unmoved by Feng Ziying's words that exposed his details. He didn't even cast a glance in his eyes, but sighed softly: "Brother Ziying doesn't know something, I'm entering the palace. Before, when I was four or five years old, I also suffered from a serious illness, but only those close to me knew about it. Since I was a child, I determined to join the army, and I didn’t like to let people know that I was not in good health, so I told my parents to This matter was concealed. But in fact, my health is not that good, but it is all because of being young. Otherwise, think about it, how can there be people who never get sick in this world?"

"It's just that I am in the army, and I don't dare to get sick at will."

"This time I am in the capital, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is busy with official duties, and I am a person who leads troops to fight. I have never been exposed to such errands. In order to do my errands well and not cause trouble to my colleagues and the Holy One, I can only look at the files upside down day and night. , Just try to enrich yourself. It’s like boiling oil every day, no matter how good your body is, it can’t stand it. Doesn’t this mean that you will become sick from overwork, and you will get sick if you can’t bear it?”

"Actually, it was because I had a bad foundation when I was a child. Later, when I got sick from time to time, I refused to let everyone know about it, so that brother Ziying didn't know about it. Besides, we have less contact. It's normal for brother Ziying to not know the inside story."

Feng Ziying snorted, and after hearing Lin Jian's words, his playful eyes faded a bit. Just as Feng Ziying was about to speak, Lin Jian suddenly covered his heart with his hand and coughed again. This time the sound of coughing It was very heavy, and the amplitude was not as strong as before, but the cough seemed to reach the lungs.

Feng Ziying saw that Lin Jian quickly covered his mouth with his hands, but his movements were still a step slower. Feng Ziying saw with her own eyes that bright red blood leaked from Lin Jian's fingers, dripping instantly on the sky-colored satin quilt.

And as Lin Jian coughed uncontrollably, more and more bloodstains leaked from Lin Jian's fingers, and soon formed a puddle of blood on the bedding, and those bloodstains slowly seeped into the bedding. Immediately afterwards, Feng Ziying There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the last traces of amusement in Feng Ziying's eyes faded away, and when Lin Jian finished coughing, he saw Qian Ying tidying up Lin Jian with heavy eyes, Feng Ziying stood up and said, "Yunxi, you I'm not in good health, and talking is exhausting, so I won't stay any longer. Take good care of me, and I'll come to see you again when you recover someday."
