[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

In the seventh year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng established a government school in Xian'an Palace.

He Shen left Fujian for the capital in order to be able to enter the official school.

This is the only Qingyun road that Heshen can take, and in history, he did enter the Xian'an Palace first, and then he was appreciated by Qianlong at a young age and became his attendant.

Although there have been several years of ups and downs in the middle, his promotion path is enough to make people jealous.

And what Heshen has to do is to subtract the twists and turns of the past few years, and he wants to be favored by Qianlong from the very beginning.

Taoist Master Xuan didn't know He Shen's plan, he sighed: "Young Master, what should I do now?" Taoist Xuan looked at him with a sad look in his eyes.

He Shen:"……"

"Bring a pen and paper."

Master Xuan knew that He Shen was going to write a prescription, so he immediately shut up and waved to Xiao Daotong beside him.The little Taoist boy was also clever, and quickly took the paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

Master Xuan rolled up his sleeves and rubbed the ink with his own hands.

In about half a stick of incense, He Shen wrote the prescription.

Master Xuan took it carefully, dried the ink, and then carefully put it in his arms, asking: "Is this for the master today?"

"Ah."

He Shen took the steaming towel from Xiaodaotong's hand, and slowly wiped his fingers, not intending to write more prescriptions.

"...you, don't you want to write a few more?" Taoist Xuan asked tentatively.

"The few cards I gave you before are enough for you. If there is something you can't solve in the future, it's not easy to offend. You just write a letter and come to the capital."

Taoist Xuan let out a long sigh of relief, and then he was relieved, and immediately greeted him eagerly: "Young master, will you have dinner in the Taoist temple today?"

He Shen waved his hand: "No, it's getting late, I'm going to take my younger brother home."

Taoist Master Xuan looked at his expression, sighed in his heart, and finally did not force him to stay, and sent He Shen out of the Taoist temple himself.

When the figure of Heshen holding Helin's hand gradually faded away, Master Xuan couldn't help shaking his head: "You're still so young, it's hard to see through."

Xiao Daotong looked at Master Xuan in puzzlement.

"There are many people in and out of this Taoist temple, but no one is as difficult to please as he is. He seems to care nothing, and his temperament is indifferent..." Master Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't know what terrible achievements he will have in the future."

Xiao Daotong was still in a daze: "Why, why?"

"Haven't you heard of the principle that one can be strong without desire?" Taoist Xuan patted his head: "Idiots, idiots!"

The man waited in the Taoist temple for three days, and finally got the prescription, and at the same time got a small jar of prepared pills.

The man thanked Master Xuan excitedly, and after putting away the pill, the man suddenly remembered the child three days ago.

"May I ask where that young master is now? I'd like to thank him too."

"He's not here anymore."

The man couldn't help but feel sorry.Although he still doesn't know how the prescription came about, and he doesn't know how much effort the child put in it, but he always feels that he should thank the young master.

The man lowered his head and glanced at the daughter who was following him. The daughter's face was tired. It was obvious that she was a bit uncomfortable here, which made it difficult for her to hold on.

The man didn't want to stay any longer, so he could only sigh in his heart, fearing that he had lost his fate, so he picked up his daughter and wanted to leave.

When they all came to the door, Taoist Xuan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Master Lin, I have something to tell you, young master."

The man turned his head suspiciously.

Master Xuan's eyes fell on his daughter: "Young Master said, please take care of Ling Ai, Master Lin, in the future, Ling Ai is weak and will not be sick."

The man laughed: "This is what should be done." Why do you need to ask for it?

The man felt that the young master had made an extra move, but after thinking about it, it was the other party's kindness, so he nodded in agreement, and then left.

After getting into the sedan chair again, the daughter who had been leaning in his arms opened her mouth softly: "Father, what is the name of that little brother?"

The man was dumbfounded: "He... He didn't leave a name."

The little girl was a little disappointed, but then she became happy again: "Let's go home."

"Well, go home." The man hugged her tightly and laughed.

This year is the 24th year of Qianlong.

In the 25th year of Qianlong, He Shen was admitted to Xian'an Palace.

So far, the Niu Yulu family can no longer handle the Heshen brothers.

And this year, there is also a family in Yangzhou, the mistress is seriously ill, and it seems that it is almost the same breath.The only young lady in the family also suffered from an illness because her mother was seriously ill and over-thinking. After recovering from the illness, her body became weaker.

These are things He Shen doesn't know.

He is busy getting a teacher for his younger brother and Lin.

There are many rich and powerful families in the capital, and the Heshen brothers are not so conspicuous. They have no adults to make decisions. Although Heshen has entered the official school, he is really not very good in the capital. Ordinary people simply don’t have the patience to teach them. child.

At this time, someone who was favored by Heshen pushed a Jinshi in front of him.

"This man was originally talented. After he won the Jinshi, he became a magistrate. However, he was confused for a while, and was dismissed because of greed and favoritism. Right now, he has nowhere to go."

He Shen was stunned, and he said, how can a dignified Jinshi be willing to be a teacher for a child.

"Please tell me the name of this person? Are you in Beijing now?"

The man smiled: "This man's surname is Jia, his given name is Hua, and his style name is Shi Fei."

For some reason, He Shen always felt that the name was familiar, but when he thought about it, he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

The man laughed again: "He also has another nickname, Yucun. He often uses his nickname. That's how others call him."

Yucun?

Jia Yucun?

No wonder it sounds so familiar!

He Shen seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and he was really shocked.

Isn't this a character in "A Dream of Red Mansions"?

He was selected as a Jinshi, but was dismissed for greed and favoritism.This is exactly what Jia Yucun experienced in the Red Mansion!

He Shen didn't think about anything else, and suddenly such a thought flashed into his mind-doesn't that mean that there is still a sister Lin in this world?

Yes!

When he came to the capital, he heard about Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.It's just that the name of the mansion sounded too common, and he didn't think about the red building for a while.

"He's in Beijing. If you want to meet, I'll do something tomorrow and invite him to you."

He Shen nodded indiscriminately, his mind was no longer on Jia Yucun.

He Shen was born in a medical family in his previous life, but he studied law at university, worked as a judge for a few years after graduation, and then resigned and went into business.He is a person who can calm down and study, and it is rare that he fails to do something.And all of this is due to the fact that when he was young, he had read the four great classics over and over again, which completely grinded his temper.

It can be said that he is too familiar with the plot of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Sister Lin happened to be one of his favorite characters among them.

But... this year, Jia Yucun has just been dismissed, so isn't it because Daiyu is only six years old this year?

Thinking of meeting Sister Lin when she was a child, He Shen felt a little moved in his heart.

There is nothing more gratifying than the characters in your favorite book, breaking through the dimension and coming to your side.

When He Shen finally woke up from the shock, everyone around him had already left.

He Shen took a sip of tea, and unconsciously rubbed the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

But if Jia Yucun became He Lin's teacher, wouldn't he be able to go to Yangzhou and become Daiyu's teacher?No...how about asking Jia Yucun to take He Lin with him on a study tour?

He Shen put down his teacup and stood up, already vaguely planning in his heart.

……

A few days later, the man really invited Jia Yucun over.

As written in the book, this man had a round waist and a thick back, a broad face and square ears, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a straight nose and cheeks.Quite the temperament of ancient scholar-bureaucrats.

Jia Yucun was quite smart and knew how to judge the situation. He didn't underestimate He Shen, and after a meal, he made a decision to be He Lin's teacher.

But following him he was surprised.

"You want Helin to travel with me?"

He Shen nodded: "Studying behind closed doors, even if you can learn great knowledge from Jia Xiong, it is not enough. If you can go out of the house and look at the scenery of other places, it will open your mind, and it will also make you happy There is an understanding that is different from that of the book."

When Jia Yucun heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said loudly: "That's right!" He originally wanted to travel around, but he was invited to be a teacher halfway, so he gave up this idea.But when it was brought up again at this time, his intention was even stronger.

"Then it's settled."

Jia Yucun nodded again and again, feeling more like-minded with He Shen, even though the other party was not even young enough, but he already meant to regard the other party as a bosom friend.

He Shen drank tea with Jia Yucun and said a lot before sending him away.

After such a conversation with Jia Yucun, He Shen finally had the feeling of being deeply in touch with the world of the Red Chamber.

He took a breath, calmed down a bit, then turned and entered the study.

A few days later, Jia Yucun was ready to take He Lin out.

He Shen is not short of money now, he bought a servant, a girl, and a handlebar style for the two of them.In addition, some money was given to He Lin and some to Jia Yucun.Only then did he let the two go.

Asking Helin to follow her on a study tour was not all for the purpose of allowing Jia Yucun to still be Daiyu's teacher.As He Shen himself said, he really believes that building a car behind closed doors is of no great use. Only by going out can we have a more open world.

He can support this family on his own, but he also hopes that Helin can become an outstanding person in the future.

After they left, He Shen was restless for a long time, always thinking about He Lin Ke's suffering and illness, and whether the money is still enough to spend.Then I couldn't help but wonder, when they arrived in Yangzhou, did Jia Yucun meet Lin Ruhai, and did Helin meet Sister Lin earlier than herself...

All these complicated emotions disappeared when the first letter home written by Helin arrived.

Jia Yucun will take good care of Lin.

He Shen was completely relieved.

In the blink of an eye, it is July, and it is hot.

He Shen received a letter from Jia Yucun, saying that he had arrived in Yangzhou and might have to stay for a while.

He Shen happened to finish his studies in Xian'an Palace, so he didn't delay at the moment, took the servant girl and money, and went to Yangzhou.

After doing so many preparations earlier, I finally waited until today!

The reason why Jia Yucun was left behind was not only because he was smart and had some skills, but also because, with Jia Yucun's support, He Shen was able to openly and aboveboard, and through the light of Jia Yucun, he saw Daiyu when he was a child. up.

After doing this for a month, He Shen arrived in Yangzhou.

He had written to Jia Yucun a long time ago, and as soon as he arrived, Jia Yucun came to greet him in person.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but brother Zhizhai has grown a lot." Jia Yucun smiled and said, "How hard is the journey?"

"It's okay. What about Helin?"

"In the Yushi mansion." When Jia Yucun said this, his tone was a little awkward.Apparently he has entered the museum and became Daiyu's guest, but he also brought a student He Lin by his side, so I feel sorry for He Shen.

"Censor's mansion?" He Shen pretended not to know, and asked suspiciously.

Jia Yucun hurriedly talked to He Shen in detail, but he still didn't forget to accuse him.

He Shen had known about this for a long time, of course he said generously: "It's nothing, but Brother Yucun's female student makes me a little curious."

"This female student is very young, so it is very labor-saving to teach..." Jia Yucun said as he took He Shen to Yushi's mansion.

He Shen pretended to be ignorant and listened to what Jia Yucun said with great interest.

Although he had already seen it in "Dream of Red Mansions", it was a different feeling to hear Daiyu in Jia Yucun's mouth at this time.

He Shen's appetite was really whetted, and he couldn't wait to see this sister Lin.

After walking like this for half an hour, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the mansion.

A servant greeted them, put down the footstool, and let them get out of the carriage.

Jia Yucun often went in and out of the mansion, and the servants in the mansion had recognized him for a long time. Seeing that he brought a young master, they couldn't help but look at him curiously.Then he was overwhelmed by He Shen's momentum, and hurriedly turned around and reported to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai loved his daughter very much, and Jia Yucun, as Daiyu's teacher, naturally gained his high regard.In addition, Jia Yucun already had some skills, which naturally made Lin Ruhai appreciate it even more.

Therefore, he never neglected Jia Yucun.

At this moment, when they heard that Jia Yucun had brought someone, he didn't care about airs at all, and greeted them by himself.

But when he stepped out, he and He Shen couldn't help being taken aback at the same time.

"It turns out, it's the young master!" Lin Ruhai was overjoyed, and held He Shen's arm with his hands.

He Shen quickly came back to his senses: "It's such a fate, I didn't expect that I met Yangzhou Yushi in the early years!"

Who is this man?

Isn't it the person he met in the Taoist temple, who brought the little girl to ask for medicine but couldn't find it?

The thoughts in He Shen's mind turned a thousand times...

In other words, the little girl at that time was Daiyu when she was four years old!

He had seen her so early, so early!

It really is...fate.

He Shen looked at Lin Ruhai again, smiled a little, and asked, "Is Ling Zheng in good health?"

Lin Ruhai's complexion turned down, and he didn't hide the sadness between his brows at all. He probably regarded the person in front of him as someone close to him: "It's not good, it's not good... It's getting worse."

He Shen frowned.Not so.

Although he didn't work as a doctor in his previous life, he read a lot of medical books at home.Western medicine and Chinese medicine have contact.His medical skills are not difficult to deal with these diseases.

unless……

"Ling Zheng is frowning every day? Bedridden?"

"Exactly!"

He Shen shook his head, and said, "Lingzheng's heart is full of depression, which can't be relieved by medicine stones."

Lin Ruhai's complexion was gray and he was speechless.

"If there is nothing wrong, I still want to see Ling Ai." He Shen said in a low voice.

When he said this, his heart beat faster.

Even though I already knew that the little girl that day was Daiyu, but seeing each other again after knowing it, my mood was still very different.

Jia Yucun said from the side: "The student He Lin I stayed in Lin's residence is his younger brother."

Lin Ruhai was surprised and said: "So it was him! I didn't recognize him..."

"Children change every day, so it's not surprising that they didn't recognize them." He Shen said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, and said, "Young Master, if you want to see your daughter, you can do it." Seeing He Shen's extraordinary conversation, Lin Ruhai was quite insightful when it came to Qi Huang's technique.Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think of what Master Xuan said to him when he left the Taoist temple.

At that time, he thought that nature would take good care of his daughter, but he still didn't take care of her later, making Daiyu ill.

Now let He Shen take a look, of course it is a good thing.

At this time, He Shen couldn't care less about going to see He Lin first.

With Lin Ruhai leading the way, He Shen followed into a yard.

The little girl's shrill voice came from the yard.

He Shen took a look in and saw two little girls, surrounded by a little girl wearing a silver-red round-neck gown and a taupe-colored horse-face pleated skirt, chirping and talking, not at all steady.Not far away were two older girls sitting with their heads buried in their needlework.

Footsteps were heard.

The girls didn't respond, but the little girl raised her head first. The bun on her head was extremely small, which immediately showed a bit of childishness.

"Father." The little girl called out, and it seemed that she was going to walk this way.

He Shen's heart tightened unconsciously, waiting for the little girl to call him.

What should I call it?

Oh, he is a few years older, he should be called "brother".

The voice should be sweet, right?

But He Shen waited for a long time, but he couldn't hear Daiyu calling him.

She came forward, grabbed Lin Ruhai's hand, and looked at him suspiciously.

Obviously didn't recognize it.

He Shen was disappointed for a while, but he couldn't show it, so he had to suppress all emotions and comfort himself.When she met Daiyu, she was young, so it's normal not to remember.

But thinking about it.

Then I heard Daiyu say to Lin Ruhai in a coquettish voice, "I've seen this brother before."

He Shen's heart tightened.

I just feel like there are thousands of fireworks exploding in my heart at the same time.

The feeling of joy is stuffed inside.

It turns out that I never forgot!
