[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian was still coughing, Feng Ziying said he wanted to leave, but Lin Jian couldn't get up to see him off, so he asked Qian Ying to see Feng Ziying off.

Although Feng Ziying didn't make the curtain as big as before when he went out this time, he was not as cautious as the others. There was still a little wind and snow leaking in through the crack of the door, and it was Qian Ying who turned back when he went out. After tucking the door curtain, Feng Ziying was sent out of the house.

In such a heavy snowstorm, it must be inconvenient to ride a horse. Feng Ziying came in a sedan chair.

After he sat in a sedan chair and was carried around seven or eight streets, the person who carried the sedan chair let him down.The person who carried the sedan chair was Feng Ziying's confidant. Seeing Feng Ziying coming out, the person who carried the sedan chair hurriedly told Feng Ziying in a low voice that the Lin family did not send anyone to follow him, and there was no one around him right now.

Feng Ziying nodded, and told the person who carried the sedan chair to go back: "Go back to your home. Now that you have traveled so far, not to mention the people of the Lin family, even others don't know my whereabouts. You go back as usual, I have something to do, wait I'll go home when I'm done."

Feng Ziying still has to go to Prince Rui's residence.He is still four or five blocks away from Prince Rui's mansion at this time, but it is snowing heavily at the moment, and sitting in a sedan chair is quite eye-catching, and no one notices him as he walks. It doesn't matter if it's close enough for people to see.

If not, they used to communicate frequently, but at this juncture, they stopped communicating, which would make people suspicious for no reason.

Feng Ziying went to the palace to meet Prince Rui Xiao Yin, and straight to the point, she talked with Xiao Yin about the situation when he went to see Lin Jian.

Xiao Yin hurriedly asked him: "In your opinion, what about Lin Jian? Has our method worked?"

Feng Ziying said: "Your Highness, when the Supreme Court ordered the imperial physician to treat Lin Jian, didn't that mean that our method worked?"

"I'm not worried that our method won't work. After all, this method is secret, and the people who use it are also secret, and they won't be aware of it. The only question is how effective it is. After all, Lin Jian has been in good health since he was a child. It's really not that easy for him to have an accident. But it's a coincidence that when Lin Jian arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he wholeheartedly wanted to make some achievements in front of the Holy Majesty. It has fulfilled our intentions.”

"Your Highness, don't worry. I came to the Lin Manor today and saw with my own eyes that Lin Jian vomited blood and looked haggard, and he was already bedridden. And didn't the Holy Majesty agree? I think Lin Jian will not be able to do it again in the next half a month." Going out, without him getting in the way, we can do our own things."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yin said: "Indeed. Lao Jiu is getting a warning, and all the errands in his hands are distributed to Xiao Shi and Xiao Shier. Although Xiao Shi and Xiao Shier are close to Lao Jiu, after all, they are not crowned king, and they are not kings. It cannot be compared with this king. Although my father values ​​me now, he has no intention of canonizing me as the crown prince. I think this matter cannot be dragged on any longer. Have you done everything you have told you? If you all Once it’s done, let’s proceed according to the plan. No one can give you what you want, so I’ll get it myself!”

Feng Ziying said: "His Royal Highness, don't worry. Everything is in place with the arrangement here."

"It's just the King of Beijing—"

Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Xiao Yin waved his hand and said, "That's all. He said he was sick for several months and hadn't seen anyone. He also said that the concubine was sick and needed to be taken care of. He even put aside his errands. He neither This means, taking into account his identity, I can't force it. But after the matter is done, he will know who he should be loyal to. Now that he has no clear position and is taking the initiative to avoid it, we don't have to suppress him too hard."

Feng Ziying and Xiao Yin had another secret discussion, and after making arrangements for the matter, they quietly left Prince Rui's residence.

After Feng Ziying left, Lin Daiyu opened the curtain and walked out from the small study in the inner room by herself.

Lin Jian was contemplating, when he heard the footsteps, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look, and saw Lin Daiyu quietly standing beside the bed with red eyes, looking at him, her gaze was falling on the big blood spot on Lin Jian's quilt.

The blood on Lin Jian's hands had already been wiped clean by Qian Ying with a handkerchief, but Qian Ying wanted to send Feng Ziying out, so the cup of blood-stained handkerchief was placed directly on the small table beside the bed before it could be cleaned up.

Lin Jian saw that Lin Daiyu's eyebrows were gloomy, and she looked like she was about to cry in the next moment. He also felt a little distressed, so he quickly grabbed the handkerchief on the small table, and then got up to change the mattress for himself, so that Lin Daiyu would not see her. It became more and more frustrating.

But he just got up when Lin Daiyu came over and held him down.

Lin Daiyu took the blood-stained handkerchief from him, went to the door and called Zijuan to bring in hot water, then washed the veil in the hot water, and then ordered Zijuan to bring the water out After pouring it out, she came over with the steaming veil that had been washed and wiped the corners of Lin Jian's mouth and hands carefully, and then gave the veil to Zijuan, who asked Zijuan to wipe it off. Wash the handkerchief before coming in.

After Lin Daiyu finished these, she pursed her lips and asked Lin Jian softly, "Where are the quilts that Third Brother uses in winter?"

Lin Jian pointed out the place for her, and Lin Daiyu and Zijuan went to Lin Jian's cabinet, picked out a new bedding from inside, warmed it carefully with Mrs. Tang, and then put it on Lin Jian. Lin Daiyu asked Zijuan to send out a blood-stained quilt to the people around Lin Jian to remove the quilt and wash it.

Lin Jian was afraid that Lin Daiyu would be tired, so she didn't want to let her do these things, but Lin Daiyu insisted on refusing, and finally finished them one by one.

After doing all this, Lin Daiyu sat on the side of the bed, pursed her lips, looked into Lin Jian's eyes and said, "Third brother, I've thought about it, I want to stay and take care of you. I will live here, and I won't return to glory." The government is gone. When will you be well, I will go back."

She was worried about Lin Jian's health, and if she wanted her to go back to Rongguo Mansion like this, she couldn't let her worry about it all day long.What's more, Lin Hong and Qiao's are not here, even if Qian Ying and Xiaochen are taking care of Lin Jian, she is not at ease.

After all, Lin Daiyu just didn't want to leave.She wanted to stay with Lin Jian.Just now she was placed alone in the next room, and she couldn't come to see what happened to Lin Jian at the first time, which made Lin Daiyu feel a little scared, and also made Lin Daiyu understand more clearly what she really wanted in her heart.

Taking care of patients is hard work.Lin Jian hated Lin Daiyu's hard work, and he was also worried about Lin Daiyu's health. In this snowy weather, if Lin Daiyu got sick again, it would not be a good thing for these two patients to be together.

Lin Daiyu understood Lin Jian's intentions. She was afraid that Lin Jian would not want her to stay, so she quickly said that she knew how to measure and would never let herself get tired.He also said that with Qianying and Zijuan around, and Xiangwu Xianrou helping her, she only does what she can and will not be brave.

When it came to the end, Lin Daiyu's expression could be called sincere: "Third brother, just let me stay. If I leave like this, I will always feel uneasy."

Lin Daiyu asked herself to stay, and Lin Jian couldn't ask for it.

He hurriedly called Uncle Wu, and asked Uncle Wu to clean up the place where Lin Daiyu lived, and then sent someone to Rongguo Mansion with Zijuan to pack Lin Daiyu's clothes and all her belongings.

Seeing that she wanted to stay, Lin Daiyu made Lin Jian so happy. She was actually very happy, but considering that Lin Jian was a patient, she didn't want to let him have too much emotional fluctuations, so after Uncle Wu and Zijuan left, She asked Lin Jian to rest for a while.

But Lin Jian refused, he propped himself up and sat up a little bit, leaning on the two soft pillows stacked behind him, talking to Lin Daiyu with a smile on his head.

"At this time of year, it is also snowing on Mengkong Mountain. The plum blossoms in Chonglian Temple are blooming very well. I haven't been to Chonglian Temple to enjoy plum blossoms in a few years. When my mother came back with a letter a while ago, she wrote in the letter, saying The plum blossoms in Chonglian Temple are all in bloom, and they are very beautiful. Seeing that there will be a few more intermittent snowfalls, even though I am ill, I am reluctant to part with such beautiful scenery."

"Miss Lin, I plan to take you to live in Chonglian Temple in Mengkong Mountain in two days when the snow stops for a while. One is to enjoy the plum blossoms during the festival, and the other is the quietness of the mountain, so you can just meditate and recuperate. Otherwise, if someone like Feng Ziying keeps coming to our door, I have to see him, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover from this disease."

Lin Jian smiled and said to Lin Daiyu that he hadn't celebrated the New Year with Lin Hongqiao for three years. He was not in the capital for the past few years. Keeping the New Year's Eve together is neat.

Lin Daiyu didn't expect Lin Jian to be so dishonest even when recuperating from his illness. He vomited blood like this, and even thought of running to Mengkong Mountain in such weather, and going to Chonglian Temple to see plum blossoms for the festival. In my heart, I don't want Lin Jian to go.

She thought for a while, then said softly: "I've also heard that the plum blossoms in Chonglian Temple are the most beautiful scenery in winter. It's just that the scenery is good, but Chonglian Temple is on Mengkong Mountain, and the mountain road is steep and difficult. The temple is a place of Qingxiu, and the abbot never opens it to the outside world, so it is rare to see this magnificent scene. Rare things are more expensive. Many people put the plum blossoms of Chonglian Temple in their mouths, but few have actually seen them. several."

"Third brother wants to take me to appreciate the plum blossoms, I am very happy. But the third brother is not in good health now, the imperial doctor said to let the third brother rest quietly in the mansion and not go out. Why did the third brother not obey the doctor's order and go out to climb the mountain? What about Chonglian Temple? Going out to climb the mountain in this weather, why bother third brother?"

"If the third brother likes the plum blossoms in Chonglian Temple, after the third brother takes care of his body, he will take me with him in the future. Why rush for a while? Besides, the plum blossoms don't only bloom for one season, they bloom every year. There are ages, if you can’t go this year, it’s okay to go next year.”

Lin Daiyu persuaded Lin Jian to focus on taking care of his body, and gave him another idea, "Third Brother, if he wants to go to the mountain, he must wait for the snow to melt. Now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, uncles and aunts cannot go down the mountain, but when the snow melts, it must be Yes. The third brother wants to celebrate the festival with his uncle and aunt, so it is the same in the mansion. The third brother is not in a good condition now, so he has to ask his uncle and aunt to work harder and come down the mountain to come back to the mansion for the festival. The third brother sent someone to pick him up, isn't it? Is it better? Why stay away from the capital and go to the mountain temple to celebrate the festival?"

Hearing this, Lin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lin Daiyu for a while with his eyes full of deep eyes, before he smiled slightly and said, "Miss Lin doesn't know that the snow on the Zongshan Road has melted, and my father and mother can't come back either." .”

"That's all for my mother. If my father comes back home for the holidays, the capital city, which is already undercurrent, will be messed up."

Lin Jian stared deeply into Lin Daiyu's eyes, and said softly, "My father went to Chonglian Temple to observe the New Year's Eve to avoid the unavoidable royal relatives who came to give gifts. Apart from this this year, it is also to avoid a Civil strife has been brewing for a long time. After all, if my father is in the capital, how would they dare to do it?"

"Not only can they not come back, but we also have to avoid it. Although they don't care about me, a sick child who has vomited blood, if I go away, it will be of great benefit to them. For this big show , I have to take you to Chonglian Temple."

Compared to his plan, Lin Jian seemed to be very understated and careless when talking about his illness, "Actually, you don't have to worry about my body. I can't die if I vomit blood anyway, and I'll be fine if I take care of it later."

Lin Daiyu remembered what Feng Ziying said just now, and remembered that before Feng Ziying came, Lin Jian was obviously well. After drinking the medicine, his complexion turned better and he stopped vomiting blood. It was only when Feng Ziying came that he coughed and vomited blood.But now, after Feng Ziying left, Lin Jian's spirit was obviously better, and he coughed a little, but he didn't vomit blood anymore.

Thinking about it, Lin Daiyu's heart shuddered—in private, Lin Jian didn't vomit blood.So far, he has only vomited in front of Feng Ziying at the coronation ceremony, and he never vomited at other times.

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, and she whispered to Lin Jian, "Feng Ziying came here to test the third brother's illness."

"The civil strife mentioned by the third brother, could it be that Prince Rui wants to compete for the position of the crown prince? And the big drama that the third brother refers to, does it mean that the third brother negotiated with the Prince Zhao to invite the king into the urn, and unite to show weakness for them? The purpose of this drama is to eliminate dissidents and eliminate the influence of the four kings and eight princes for the Holy One?"

Lin Jian had intended to guide her, so after hearing Lin Daiyu's words, she laughed and said, "The Holy Majesty has always wanted His Royal Highness Prince Zhao to be the crown prince. It is useless for Prince Rui to fight for the position of crown prince without the emperor's heart. What Prince Rui wants to fight for is to reach the sky in one step. Only by taking the most honorable position in the world can he do whatever he wants, and he can eliminate dissidents and eliminate us."

"The rest, the girl is right. Things have progressed to this point, and the final outcome is only missing. The game has been played for several months, and the layout is hard. They think we don't know it at all, but in fact, everything is under control. The only thing missing is What is more important is their real action. All the showing weakness and fleeing now are to induce them to do something."

Lin Jian looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile, and asked her again, "Miss, have you figured this out after listening to Feng Ziying's words and combining what I just said?"

Lin Daiyu nodded lightly, then shook her head slowly, and said: "Third Brother was watching the night for me in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. When I coughed and drank water at night, I saw Third Brother talking with a strange man in the court. At that time, I didn't know who the man was, but I felt that he was very different from other people. Thinking about it now, the person who talked with the third brother in the court that night was His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, right?"

Lin Jian smiled and said: "It was him. He just came back from Tongzhou at that time. There was a dispute over the Prince Zhongli, so I decided this way with him. In fact, if they don't disagree, this way is useless. In the end, Or because they are not of one mind with the Holy One."

"I went to Chonglian Temple, which is also part of it. I am worried about leaving the girl alone in the capital. It is not safe in Rongguo Mansion. I can only rest assured if I put the girl by my side. It's just that Miss Lin wants to You have suffered with me for days of hard work."

Lin Daiyu stared fixedly at Lin Jian, and shook her head when she heard the words, "I'm not afraid of hard work. The third brother is in poor health, but he still plans and schemes like this. The third brother is the hardest one."

Lin Jian just smiled when she heard the words, this illness was really hard, but with Lin Daiyu by her side, it was a bit sweet in the tiredness.

Lin Jian talked to Lin Daiyu for a while. Lin Daiyu spent a lot of time going through those things before, and her emotions fluctuated too much. After staying in the warm room for a long time, she talked to Lin Jian again, and she let go of her thoughts After more than half, the man felt a little tired and sleepy, and wanted to take a rest.

Lin Jian kept looking at Lin Daiyu, and he could see the tired look in her eyes. He was afraid that Lin Daiyu would go to rest and Lin Daiyu refused, so he yawned himself, saying that he was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while. Let Lin Daiyu also go to rest for a while, and then Lin Daiyu went.

After Lin Daiyu left, Lin Jian got up from the couch, and walked around the room in his middle clothes.

If Feng Ziying saw this scene, he would be amazed. Does Lin Jian walk around like a seriously ill person who is vomiting blood and is about to get consumptive?

Lin Jian called Qian Ying in, and asked him in a low voice, "Has everything been properly arranged for His Royal Highness King Zhao?"

Qian Ying nodded: "It's not only settled on Prince Zhao's side, but also on Jia Zheng and Jia Lian's side. It's just that we are doing things in secret and we can't let them notice, so the situation is still somewhat passive. Recently, There are frequent movements over there, relying on the Holy Majesty's attention, they are not avoiding suspicion."

After pacing for a while, Lin Jian stood still in front of the window pane, and said in a low voice, "Only when you are proud of yourself will you forget yourself. Your Majesty values ​​pampering, but it made them forget to be vigilant. We did this secretly, just to make them relax their vigilance." This is a good thing. However, even though the Holy Majesty values ​​it, they are not deceived, knowing that relying on the Holy Majesty is worse than relying on themselves, so don’t they have to do it?”

Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, Lin Jian squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Forget it. I'm making a plan, not for myself. The storm is raging in the city, so let His Royal Highness Zhao go down to calm it down. Look at the weather, the wind and snow have passed for two days. The day will be closed for half a day, and we will leave on that day. I said to the outside world that I miss my parents when I am sick, and I want to go to Chonglian Temple to rest. Anyway, I am a willful person, and I am restless when I am sick. People will care. Even if they know, they probably hope that I will die of illness on the way and save them a lot of trouble."

"When we leave, just the ten of you who often follow me will go together. The rest of you will continue to do your own business. You don't have to follow. As for Uncle Wu, just take a few people back to the General's Mansion. The mansion is under the New Year's Eve." , there must always be a few people who will go forward to burn incense in the spiritual place. Others will not care about this. Oh, by the way, tell Uncle Wu that it is nothing if the West Garden is destroyed, but don’t ask them to destroy the General’s Mansion, or you will come Not only will my father not let me go, but the Holy One will also be angry."

"It's okay to mess around, but this general's mansion must not be moved."

Qian Ying wrote down Lin Jian's words one by one, and wondered if Lin Jian should bring more guards by his side: "Young master, the master and madam are only surrounded by the old people from before, and they didn't bring any more people. But the young master knows , if they make a move, even if the young master hides farther away, they will not let the old lady and the young master go. The young master should have made some preparations. What's more, this time, there is Miss Lin by the young master's side, even if With Fragrance Mist and Delicacy here, to be safe, the Young Master should also bring more people there."

Lin Jian didn't agree: "Take more people there, attracting their attention, it's another problem. When things come to an end, we have to be more cautious. Whenever there is a little bit of behavior that is different from the past on our side, we will know it over there." .If you scare the snakes out of the grass and tell them to shrink their hands and feet and quit, who can bear the responsibility?"

Lin Jian walked to the table, and reached out to stroke the soft sword and silver gun that he had wiped last night on the sword table.

He picked up the shiny gun head and made a few moves casually, and then said softly, "With me alone, it is enough to keep you all safe."

"What's more, the master and wife can protect themselves, so which one of the old people around you doesn't have the skills? Needless to say, you guys, even if they send hundreds of quack killers, you can handle it with ease. There is really no need to worry so much. Miss Lin's safety rests with me alone. When I arrive at Chonglian Temple, I will stay with her for a moment, and I won't hurt her in the slightest."

Lin Jian and Qian Ying agreed that Qian Ying would go and explain to Uncle Wu, and prepare the packing and arrangements for the trip in two days, and they went out.

Lin Jian was left alone in the room holding the shiny gun head in a daze.

This is not the silver gun he used in the army, he never brought that silver gun back to the capital.The one in hand was secretly made by his order.

Although the proportions are all made according to that one, it is new after all, not the original one, and the hand/feel is worse.It can be used to defend against enemies and kill people, but it is enough.

On the contrary, he kept the silver gun by his side and the soft sword around his waist, no matter who came, he would not be afraid.

Lin Jian stood in front of the sword table for a while, and in his eyes was the icy cold light before the battlefield. He was used to the battlefield, and there was nothing to be afraid of when swords, swords, shadows and flesh flew all over the place.Even though he worked as a civil servant in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for several months, the enthusiasm in his heart has not cooled down.

Lin Jian put down the shiny spear head, turned around and went to the window, and took out the jade crown that Lin Daiyu gave him earlier for a closer look.

From sending medicine packs to sending jade crowns, he watched Lin Daiyu's changes, and he exchanged months of tenderness and love for this heavy jade crown.

Holding the jade crown, Lin Jian's heart was full of emotions. He really wanted to ask her clearly, she was so worried about his illness, did she have him in her heart?
