The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 48

However, although the Lin family has indeed changed their fortunes in the past few years, it is not true that everything is going smoothly.

Not to mention that the little son that the Lin family finally got was very weak from birth, even the doctor can only say that it is because Lin Ruhai and his wife are not young, and the so-called begging prescription is always three-point medicine. Poison, which inevitably makes children weak, is a common thing in this age.It's just that the body of the Lin family sister who looks healthy is not so good. The heat poison brought by the fetus is actually more headache than ordinary illness.

The elder sister is the real eldest daughter of the Lin family, and the baby bump that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min finally hoped for in their middle age. Tangtang's background is dignified, but for the sake of my sister's health, I was coaxed to give my sister a more simple name, so as to suppress my sister's fate.

These days, rich and powerful families have the custom of naming according to their genealogy, but there are also sayings that cheap names are easy to support or children with poor health are named later.

So there was Baochai, an extremely simple and down-to-earth name that had nothing to do with Tanhualang, a scholarly family.

But even so, Miss Lin's body has not improved much. Although she looks strong and healthy on weekdays, but for some reason, she can't stand too much mood swings. It is easy to get sick. According to a more simple way of saying, it means that you often get angry to the extent that you fall ill.The number of times like this is too many, but the sister is forced to work hard to learn to calm down.

Although when my sister was three or four years old, a couple of monks and Taoists came to the Lin family. Not only did they leave eight characters for the Lin family, they said they wanted the Lin family to make a gold vessel and chisel these eight characters on the gold vessel. He also gave a pack of fragrant medicine primers, and left a medicine prescription, saying that the medicine in this prescription can cure the heat-toxin disease of the girl of the Lin family.

At that time, it happened that Jia Min had been out of the cabinet for more than ten years and had not been able to give birth. Finally, she was blessed by God and got a sister, but it was unlikely that she would be born with a disease because of taking too much medicine. I don't know how many times I burned incense and worshiped Buddha, and how much sesame oil I donated to temples outside Yangzhou.It is true that I have tried all reasonable and unreasonable methods, and I don’t know how much money was wasted on this matter. If she didn’t wear a mighty red makeup when she came out of the cabinet, how many generations would the Lin family have? The family of Shilu, who was passed down alone, everyone knows that the Lin family's family background is extremely rich. I don't know how many people have to impeach Lin Ruhai for corruption and bribery. But never less.

The issue of heirs has become a knot in Jia Min's heart, and even Jia Min is now in a state of rushing to the doctor for sudden illness, otherwise he wouldn't just come to a pair of passing crooked melons and cracked dates as if he was a monk who was born in Qiufeng She can believe it.

However, the left and right Lin family has a great career, and they don't worry about such a little trouble except that it will inevitably consume their mental energy, especially this time. An extra gold vessel was needed to chisel and engrave the eight characters. As for the contents of the prescription, it was nothing valuable, at most it occupied a rare word.

And although because the goldware actually looks a bit vulgar, few families would actually wear goldware for such a young girl to go out, but with the property of the Lin family, even if they really got a set for their own sister, it would be fine. It doesn't matter.

As for the so-called medicinal prescription, after seeing the strange ingredients on the medicinal prescription, it was inconvenient for the Lin family, as an official family, to search for these things with great fanfare. The degree of trust in Dao is not high, so when it is not convenient to disclose the specific prescription, at most the people in Zhuangzi can only prepare the stamens.As for the rain, snow, frost and dew of Laoshizi, they really can only resign themselves to their fate, and even Jia Min didn't give any hope to this matter, he just looked at the things in the prescription, and if it doesn't work, he can't eat bad people anyway. , so I ordered it casually.Even the package of medicine primers had already been received in some warehouse and went to smoke the house.

Although the Lin family has never had anything to do with bullying, they are still one of the top officials in Yangzhou. No one would neglect such small things as the Lin family making a gold lock for their young sister in the silver building. Therefore, the Yinlou went to do it in a hurry, even if the fine and extra chiseled characters were required, it only took a few days to complete it.

Coincidentally, the shops of the Xue family have opened all over Jiangnan, and the things of the Xue family are actually quite good, so the shop that is familiar with the jewelry buyers of the Lin family happens to be one of the properties of the Xue family— — This is also why the Xue family can know the words on the golden lock piece made by the Lin family.

It would take several years to get the prescriptions together, and the Golden Lock Tablets, including the time it took for the Lin family to call someone to order, did not exceed ten days at most. Abandoned, Fangling forever" cleats were worn and hung around the neck of the girl from the Lin family.

It is also common for young children to wear something like a longevity lock, at most it is just a replacement for the original one.

But the strange thing is that since the cleat was put on, even though Baochai would still get sick once when he was emotionally unstable, it was only a cough for a quarter of an hour at most, which was better than the serious illness he had every now and then. How many.

It’s just that although Baochai is still young, she has experienced many illnesses because of the emotional fluctuations in her infancy. Even though it is still difficult for her to understand why she gets sick whenever she feels emotional, she has learned to control her emotions instinctively. , and after all, after becoming more sensible, I won't always be irritable and irritable like when I was a baby, so it can only get out of control once in a month or two at most.

In addition, this golden lock piece can at most relieve Baochai's heat poison temporarily, it is not a good medicine for immediate effect, so at the beginning, no one really noticed the difference here, until one time Baochai Chai fell ill after taking off the cleat, and it was only then that the function of the cleat was discovered.

Then the prescription that had been almost forgotten was finally remembered.

It's no wonder that the Lin family didn't take this prescription very seriously. You must know that judging people by their appearance is a common instinct.The pair of monks and Taoists looked really shabby, and they didn't fit the image of the so-called extraterrestrial masters at all, so naturally it was impossible for the Lin family to take them to heart.

As for going to hit the golden lock piece, in fact, it's like Jia Min always likes to light a stick of incense in the Buddhist hall when he has nothing to do, but it's just a random thing.

Who would have thought that this would actually work so well.

Originally, Jia Min, who didn't pay much attention to the pair of monks and Taoists, hastily asked someone to go to the library to find out the package of medicine primers that had been put away, and then began to think seriously about how to get together the medicine prescriptions.

Don't look at the two children of the Lin family, the younger son is the one with the weaker body, but after all, the younger son is just a normal frailty, as long as he is carefully raised.However, the daughter's illness seemed particularly confusing, but in fact, it made the Lin family and his wife more worried.

But no matter what, it is still inappropriate for the Lin family to come forward directly at this time, if Baochai is really terminally ill and counting on this prescription for help, that's all.But now the Lin family is hiding even the matter of Baochai's heat poisoning. Everyone thinks that the Lin family girl is a very healthy girl, so how can this matter be used as an excuse.

Officials valued the most reputation. Jia Min was famous in the capital when he was in the boudoir, so there was nothing wrong with his upbringing. This kind of thing in principle would not be surpassed in the end.

So she thought of the Xue family.

In the past, the four big families in Jinling, the four families of Jia Wang, Shi Xue, were united and helped each other, and the children in the clan were naturally considered close.Although Jia Min is now a member of the Lin family, she was also the daughter of the Jia family after all, and she still has some affection for her former partners.

Although the Xue family is the only one of the four major families who stayed in Jinling, they have no friendship with the Jia family and Jia Min, especially since the master of the Xue family who is of Jia Min's generation has passed away, it is even more difficult to gain friendship. .But now the big wife who is in charge of the Xue family is a daughter of the Wang family. She really grew up in Beijing. The Jia family became Jia Min's direct sister-in-law.

Although Jia Wang's and Jia Min's enmity is so deep that it can implicate the next generation, but in fact, most of it is the natural discord of sister-in-law, and it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the psychological shadow in the boudoir, at least this Not the main reason.

In other words, the relationship between Xue Wang and Jia Min is probably not close friends, but they can always maintain a family friendship in the end. As for the jealousy of those children in the boudoir, in fact, when they grow up a little bit, it will be too late. They broke up, and Xue Wang's family background was originally a concubine, and she was actually a gentle temperament among Wang's daughters. She was used to humility to her brothers and sisters.

In addition, Jia Min, as a dignified official wife now, has an innate status to suppress Aunt Xue, a businesswoman...

Jia Min, who believed very much that Aunt Xue would not be able to cause such a disturbance in the city, sent a letter to Xue's family as a matter of course, asking Aunt Xue to help make up a prescription.

——After all, it would be impeachable for officials to do such a thing that is obviously wasteful and costly, but it would not be abrupt if it was done by a merchant.

The author has something to say:

In fact, I don’t really understand why Xue’s family in the original book believed the medicine as soon as they received the introduction… After all, the monks who went to preach are so ugly…
