Yangzhou, inspecting Yan Yushi's mansion.

It was summer, and the afternoon sun could almost melt people away. Ruyi Courtyard where Daiyu lived was quiet, the doors and windows of the main courtyard were open, and layers of spun gauze used to shade the sun swayed gently with the breeze.

On the beauty's couch under the window, Daiyu was taking a nap, maybe because of the heat, she didn't sleep well.

Her health is not good enough to use ice even in summer.In order to escape the heat, she deliberately moved to the coolest courtyard in the mansion, but the effect was always limited.

After napping intermittently for a quarter of an hour, Daiyu couldn't fall asleep anymore. She didn't want to move, so she just leaned on the couch, opened a small slit in the window screen and looked into the yard.

Zhu Ying, the big maid guarding the door, heard the movement and hurried in to serve her.Daiyu drank half a cup of warm water with her hand, and asked eagerly, "Is there something from the front yard?"

Zhu Ying paused: "No."

Daiyu's expectations were in vain, she lowered her eyes and turned her head away without speaking.

Zhu Ying hurriedly comforted: "Girl, don't think too much, the sixth elder brother may be caught by something, didn't you say that the imperial concubine in the palace is pregnant, I think the sixth elder brother is busy taking care of the empress. "

"What are you coaxing me into? I'm not stupid. Could it be that he was so busy on the first day? How could he be able to write letters before, but not now?" Daiyu covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed, "Don't you Without telling me, did something happen to him?"

Zhu Ying: "Miss is overthinking, the sixth elder brother is the emperor's elder brother, and the emperor and concubine de concubine are in the palace, what can happen to him?"

Daiyu asked back with red eyes: "If you have a high status, everything will be fine. Why did the senior brother stay in Yangzhou to recuperate?"

Zhu Ying was left speechless by Daiyu's question, so she couldn't guarantee that Yinzuo was fine, in fact, she didn't know why Yinzuo hadn't heard from him during this time.

Daiyu didn't want to guess bad things, but she panicked in her heart, so she couldn't help thinking wildly. At one moment, she was worried that Yinzuo was injured and sick, and at another moment, she was afraid that Yinzuo would get tired of her, and she didn't want to associate with her anymore. It keeps falling.

Zhu Ying and Wang Momo were very anxious and wanted to comfort them, but Daiyu was so smart that ordinary words couldn't be coaxed at all!Now that Jia Min is seriously ill, he dare not disturb her easily. Lin Ruhai is not in the mansion, so there is nothing he can do for a while.

Daiyu cried for a long time, until she fell asleep from exhaustion.Zhu Ying wrung the handkerchief with warm water and wiped away the tear stains on Daiyu's face. Seeing that she was still sobbing in her dream, she couldn't help but look at Mother Wang in dismay.

Wang Momo sighed: "When the master comes down to the office, I will ask you anyway."

Earlier they suggested that Daiyu ask Lin Ruhai, but Daiyu always felt that it was inappropriate to bother her father about this matter, so she refused to agree.They didn't think it was important to Daiyu, they just thought she didn't care, so they just let it go, who would have thought that today they would suddenly cry like this.

Zhu Ying nodded with lingering fear: "Miss is too thoughtful."

"The girl has always been like this, she looks like a grown-up at a young age," Nanny Wang said, "It's because we weren't careful, let's be more careful in the future."

Zhu Ying naturally complied, and the two of them made a plan, they only waited for Lin Ruhai to come back and went to ask for an interview, but it was such a coincidence that before they could make a move, Daiyu got mad first!

……

It was getting late when Lin Ruhai came back, and the carriage stopped leisurely in front of the mansion, Lin Ruhai rubbed the center of his brows wearily.

He has been quite tired recently, he is busy with official business, and there are many chores at home.His wife Jia Min's condition fluctuates from good to bad, and recently she brought up the old story again, wanting to betroth her daughter Daiyu and nephew Baoyu.

Lin Ruhai didn't have any objections to the Jia family, but she didn't want to marry her daughter so early.The husband and wife quarreled several times, and Jia Min's health became worse and worse. Lin Ruhai was caught between both sides of the official and private affairs, and felt quite devastated.

Lin Ruhai felt burdened at the thought of facing Jia Min when he returned home.Thinking of Jia Min's illness, he felt guilty again.

After stalemate for so long, he has already begun to waver in his heart, hesitating whether to agree to his wife's request.Although there are all kinds of bad things about being engaged when you were young, it is a great benefit to make Jia Min happy.

And what Jia Min said is not unreasonable, Daiyu has no brothers, and they are no longer young, there is nothing more reassuring than marrying her daughter back to Yue's family.

With a lot of thoughts in Lin Ruhai's mind, he got out of the carriage with the help of his servants, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar young man waiting anxiously at the door.

Lin Ruhai frowned: "Why are you in a hurry?"

The boy hurriedly said: "Master, go and see quickly, the girl is sick!"

Lin Ruhai's complexion changed, and he didn't care much at once, and hurried to Ruyi Courtyard.

wishful courtyard.

Jia Min has arrived. Compared with a year ago, she is now more haggard, and her figure is as thin as a piece of paper, which seems to be blown away by the wind.

She leaned weakly on the maid, nervously watching the imperial doctor feel Daiyu's pulse, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted into twists.

Seeing Lin Ruhai coming in, Jia Min heaved a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes filled with tears: "Husband..."

Lin Ruhai's heart softened immediately, and she asked someone to help her to a chair and sit down, while he went to see Daiyu himself.

The little girl was lying on the bed, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she felt uncomfortable in a dream.

Obviously, he has become much healthier this year, but at this moment Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter, as if he saw the weak daughter from before who might leave them at any time.

Like his son who died young.

Lin Ruhai's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't dare to disturb the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis, and only asked about the maidservant Daiyu's condition.

Zhu Ying looked at Jia Min hesitantly.

Lin Ruhai: "Speak!"

"Yes," Zhu Ying said in detail what happened in the afternoon, "...the girl fell asleep after crying, and soon developed a fever."

Jia Min couldn't hear it, and wept bitterly while holding his handkerchief.

Lin Ruhai patted her on the back comfortingly, but her eyebrows frowned even tighter: "Why are you crying, girl?"

This is where Lin Ruhai is puzzled. Daiyu has become more cheerful this year. She only cried once when Yinzuo returned to Beijing, and once when Jia Min was in critical condition. She seldom cried the rest of the time. Weeping: "But what happened to the girl?"

Zhu Ying hesitated even more.

Lin Ruhai reprimanded: "Why are you so hesitant, girl?"

Zhu Ying had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Over there in the capital... I haven't believed it for a long time."

"The capital?" Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was referring to Yinzuo, "Didn't the letter arrive yesterday, how could it be..."

His words stopped abruptly, because he remembered that he had given Daiyu's letters to Jia Min, and Jia Min had forwarded them.However, Jia Min proposed to Lin Ruhai to stop their communication a month ago because the two children were growing up and Daiyu wanted to discuss marriage. At that time, he did not agree, and Jia Min did not mention it again. it seems...

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min hesitantly, and sure enough, she saw a look of surprise on her face, and she was on the verge of falling.

Lin Ruhai was furious immediately, but because of the face of the mistress, she couldn't burst out, and her face was very ugly for a while.

Just as the imperial physician finished his pulse diagnosis, Lin Ruhai hurriedly stepped forward two steps: "Emperor Chen, how are you?"

"Excessive worry and depression in the heart", Chen Taiyi said his judgment coldly, his face was darker than Lin Ruhai's, "I have already said that she can't bear it, why is she still like this?"

As a doctor, Imperial Physician Chen hates patients who don't follow the doctor's orders the most. Daiyu is so young, any troubles are naturally the fault of her parents, so he doesn't have any good looks towards Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was ashamed and confessed again and again: "Yu'er's illness..."

Imperial Physician Chen: "It's a good thing to have a seizure. After drinking a few medicines, it will be enough to keep it for a few months. If you hold it back, it will be a bad thing!"

Lin Ruhai heaved a sigh of relief, Chen imperial physician prescribed a prescription, Lin Ruhai quickly ordered people to take the medicine, and personally watched the people brew and feed the medicine. It was not until Daiyu's fever subsided that the heart that had been raised so high completely fell back into her stomach.

It was already halfway through the night, Lin Ruhai dragged his tired body back to the main courtyard, Jia Min was not in good health and came back a little earlier, but he didn't fall asleep at this time, leaning against the bed silently lost in thought, with tears on his face.

Seeing Lin Ruhai coming back, she hastily greeted her: "Yu'er..."

"The fever has subsided, and the imperial doctor said there is nothing serious."

Lin Ruhai's mood had mostly calmed down, but her voice was still a little cold. After speaking, she ignored Jia Min and went to wash herself.

Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care about Lin Ruhai's attitude.Daiyu is so sick that even she hates herself.

Jia Min was silent for a moment, took out a small box from the cabinet, and said to Lin Ruhai who had finished washing, "The letter is here, I can give it to Yu'er, it's just..."

She frowned slightly, feeling even more worried.Yu'er and the sixth elder brother are so close, what will happen in the future?

They are going to grow up, and in the future they will talk about marriage separately, so it is not appropriate to have such a relationship.

As for making these two little ones into a pair... Jia Min didn't dare to think about it!They can't even make decisions about the prince's marriage, let alone her and Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai calmed down a bit: "I know what you're thinking, but you shouldn't make decisions on your own, don't I care about Yu'er? You can see the consequences?!"

Jia Min lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Ruhai said: "You love to worry too much. Yu'er is just young, and it's not that she is ignorant. She will understand the truth when she grows up, and she will be much better when she is not good. It doesn't matter if she is angry. Why are you so anxious?" ?”

Jia Min lowered her head, and tears suddenly fell down: "My body...how can I feel at ease if I don't arrange Yu'er well?"

Lin Ruhai suddenly became hoarse, unable to speak a word.

His eyes were also slowly turning red, and after a long silence, he said softly, "Don't think too much... just leave these letters to me, and I'll just give it to Daiyu."

Jia Min let out a "huh".

There was another long silence, and Lin Ruhai sighed: "You can think about it in the future, I hope we can grow old together, and the heirs... are not as important as you, the big deal is to recruit Daiyu in the future."

"Then how can I do it!" Jia Min regained her spirits when she heard the words, and said with a frown, "What kind of a good son-in-law can we have? We have humiliated Yu'er for nothing!"

Lin Ruhai: "Then you still mean Jia Baoyu?"

"Forget it, look at Yu'er like this, how dare I betroth her, what if..." What if she still likes Brother Six so much when she grows up?

Jia Min waved her hands, feeling a little discouraged: "I always believe in you."

Only then did Lin Ruhai heave a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You can't just leave it all to me, you have to check when Yu'er grows up to choose a son-in-law!"

Jia Min forced a smile.

The husband and wife reconciled and agreed to talk to Daiyu before resting.

After this incident, Jia Min barely controlled his dazed mind under the shadow of death, no longer made frequent tricks, and never dared to interfere in the relationship between Yinzuo and Daiyu.

The next day Daiyu received a box of letters. Although she was suspicious, she didn't ask any more questions.

And Yin Zuo, who is far away in the capital, didn't know that there was such a turmoil in Yangzhou, and he didn't know that he had unintentionally disturbed the marriage contract between Bao Dai and his wife. He was busy developing new drugs, and received it again before he could react Daiyu's letter.
