The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

"Is this repairing medical books?" Daiyu came in from the outside with the panda dumpling in her arms, and saw Ming Xu lying on his side, the bed was covered with paper and books. The famous handwriting of a traveling doctor.

"Hanlin Academy's books are messy and messy, with a hammer here and a hoe here, only for the immediate needs, following the emperor's orders, mostly history and agriculture. Medicine is a cheap industry. Speaking of it, the last time medical books were systematically compiled was in the Tang Dynasty, and now Hundreds of years have passed, and many medical works have been published, but each has its own direction, and it is very complicated to look up." Mingxu put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "Taking advantage of the resources and time of the Imperial Academy, I just made a little integration, Since then, there will not be such a favorable time and place.”

Daiyu covered her lips and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Mingxu asked in confusion.

"I laugh at the fact that elder brother Ming told me that Lue Tongqi Huang was actually true." She didn't believe it when Ming Xu said it back then. Concentrate on studying medical classics.But after getting married for a year, Daiyu understood that this person had learned a lot, and compared with him, she was more of an academic.

Mingxu also recalled the old things, and said with a smile: "I don't have any thoughts of being a doctor in my heart. It's no different from the six arts of a gentleman. I have some interest, so I went to learn." Mingxu said calmly: "But Yu'er praised me a lot. Compared with a real doctor, I am still far behind. The young man does not work hard, but the old man is sad. Maybe I don't think it is difficult to eat this bowl of rice. I learned the generality in the past, but now I am determined to study it. .”

"In recent years, I have nothing to do in my boudoir. I have also read a few books with the female doctor, and I barely know some medicinal materials. Maybe I can help Chengjing sort out one or two." Daiyu looked at the pharmacopoeia in her hand and found that it was easy to read. If you can't do anything else, you can still do it by dividing it into categories.

Mingxu got up and took Daiyu into his arms, sighed: "If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for. Yu'er, what else do you not know? You studied piano the day before yesterday, and you are studying medicine today. My wife is a doctor. "

Daiyu pushed him away, with a half-smile: "Are you complimenting me or you? Don't you know more about these things? It sounds like I'm ignorant."

"Yu'er misunderstood me. I put in some effort because I like it. Yu'er really dabbles in a lot. She can talk about everything in the world. If Yu'er is ignorant, how much will she learn in the world?" Die in shame." This is still ignorant, does the daughter-in-law want to go to heaven?Ming Xu raised his hand, his desire to survive was very strong.

"Stop making fun of me. The apprentices in these clinics can do it too. I'm just here to accompany you." At the end of the national funeral, Daiyu has been very busy recently, and all the things in the house have to be prepared with new ones and replaced according to the regulations. In the morning, there were trivial matters such as Chunri's accounts, and she consciously ignored Mingxu, so she also found something to do together.

"The apprentices in the medical center wouldn't do this with me." Mingxu rested his head on Daiyu's shoulder, made eye contact with the panda dumpling, saw the ignorant and cute appearance of the black and white dumpling, and cried out from the bottom of his heart that my life is over. The cute thing is like a peerless swordsman hurting people invisible, and he said with a smile unconsciously: "This little guy grows slowly, and he is not like other cubs. I see it is about the same age as when he came here. Yu'er gave Ke Ke a name? "

"It's only been a few days since I've been here, how can I see any changes?" Daiyu is used to Ming Xu's incoherent words, and she didn't pause when she answered: "I haven't named yet, I always feel that the usual humiliation is humiliating." She asked Zijuan and them yesterday, and they all said that for example, Tuanzi, Xuexue, and Fushun, the former seemed to have raised a little raccoon slave, while the latter was a puppy, and she always felt that she was not good enough for her iron-eating beast. Bad name." Daiyu thought about it for a few times, and finally was rejected by herself one by one, each with its own disadvantages.

Seeing Daiyu's serious appearance, Mingxu laughed and said: "Where is the trouble, folks say that a low name is easy to support, so why do you humiliate her? In my opinion, let's call her sister Sun, so it won't be called People make the mistake of owning a cat or a dog."

"Sister Sun" Daiyu said it twice, and said with a frown: "This name is so weird, it looks like a girl, but whoever calls their girl Sun has a good meaning, but the sound is not beautiful."

"Isn't that just right? The little guy is picky, but he raises him like a charming girl? Sister Sun not only shows her identity, but also does not cause people to misunderstand." The more Mingxu said it, the more he felt that it was very good, and he insisted on trying to persuade Daiyu agree.

This person is very lenient in business, but his stubbornness makes people puzzled. He is obviously older than himself, and sometimes he has to let him go.

Daiyu simply stopped fussing about it with him, and started talking about business: "A few days ago when I went back, my grandmother talked about my third younger sister. She is only one year younger than me, and she is also old enough to talk about marriage. My grandmother said that I left the court. , also often walk outside, ask me to help pay attention."

It was a surprise to say love to Tanchun.Mingxu took the little panda from Daiyu's hands and waited for her to finish.

"Grandmother said that, but I think what she meant was to find out what my wife said, and talk to my second brother." Daiyu went on to say that she was no longer a girl in the boudoir, and Mother Jia had to speak directly to her. Many, the semantics are not cryptic.

"Brother Xi?" Ming Xu frowned: "Have you talked to your mother?"

"I haven't said anything yet. I don't know about our family's arrangements, so I dare not tell my wife directly, for fear of making a joke." Daiyu chuckled, "I'll ask you first, I have a general direction."

"Then Xue Wenlong was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles. Does the old lady blame our family? They want to get married?" Mingxu didn't say what happened, but asked this question first.

The last time Daiyu went back to Jia's mansion, because of Xue Pan's case, Mingxu did not accompany her, so she didn't have the attitude of seeing the old lady in person.

"Grandmother said that you have a good character and treat me well. I think our family style is upright and we teach our children well." Daiyu shook her head, avoiding the important and letting the light go: "The third younger sister is about the same age as the second younger brother, so my grandmother thought about getting married. "

In fact, when she went back this time, her grandmother treated her far less politely and distantly than in the past. She actually took it as she said that day: Whenever she had the slightest scruples about her past lovers, she would go back to visit her.In order for Chengjing not to be restrained by herself, she disobeyed her grandmother, and her grandmother really cut off the love and love with her for more than ten years, and she spoke in a strange way.

The grandmother outside the Rongguo Mansion was like this, needless to say the other people in the house spoke sarcastically, that time back, she never saw anyone except Jia Mu and her sisters and playmates in her boudoir.

Sleeping together in the same quilt for more than a year, Mingxu was keenly aware of Daiyu's mood difference, before and after the contact, it was not difficult to detect the reason, so he said: "Yu'er, your grandmother lived to an [-]th birthday, how many storms have come, how can she be so short-sighted?" , the matter has been done, it is irreversible, with the wisdom of her old man, she will not cut off an in-law because of her anger. If my Ming family is not in the top class, it's fine, but it's not nice to say that the head of my family is still alive, and the family's title There are official positions, prestige and rights are not bad, and there is still some stability for decades. Although the population is small, but the next generation is flourishing. I don't believe that Yu'er can't see the beautiful flowers in Jia's mansion, and the West under the fire. Shen Mushi, under such circumstances, how could the old lady push you out."

Mingxu's words were harsh, but Daiyu was also a smart person, why didn't she understand the deep meaning of the words, she was stunned for a while and couldn't come back to her senses.

Seeing her like this, Mingxu heaved a long sigh in his heart, but straightened her with his hands, and sat facing each other, Mingxu looked into Daiyu's eyes and said without any embellishment: "Yu'er, as you think now, The old lady is just using this as an excuse to force you to submit. If you disobey her once, you can have a second time. Her behavior is just to let you learn a lesson, or cut the soil and pay compensation. This kind of example, I I have seen many times when I went out to study. The old man has a strong desire to control his children. Once he loses control, he will be rejected and turn to train other children. But Yuer, you are obviously not rejected, but it is profitable. The fact that Miss Jia San and Brother Xi are married is a proven stone hammer."

Mingxu cuts through the normally calm warmth, and clearly shows Jiamu's cold side in front of Daiyu's eyes.If there is no accident, the Jia Mansion in the future will be in a situation where "the vast expanse of white land is really clean". If the bond between Daiyu and the Jia Mansion is too deep, it will be difficult in the future, so it is better to tear the cover up as soon as possible.

No matter what the appearance is, Mingxu is a selfish and cold person in essence, what happens to the Jia family has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to be entangled in the future and become a burdensome existence.

"According to what you said, if I didn't marry you as my wife, my grandmother would ignore me?" Daiyu laughed bitterly: "She often said that they are all members of the same family. I never held any ill will towards her. Why does she care?" Why blame me?"

"Yu'er already understands in her heart, doesn't she?" Ming Xu looked at her indifferently, the spring sunlight shone through the window on Ruo Guanyu's face, revealing a coldness.

As time went by, he didn't remember too many details, only a vague direction, but Jia's mother's attitude towards Daiyu was still clear. The orphan girl died suddenly in a cold night, and the old lady never saw each other.

Tears flowed across the jade cheeks and gathered on the chin, while its owner was still sitting in a daze, with no focus on his eyes.Mingxu felt a little disturbed in his heart.

"Although Xi'er is a concubine, my family's heirs are weak, and they are raised as legitimate sons. The old lady thinks that Miss Jia San is just right, but her mother will not agree. Yu'er should not make things right with her mother." Mingxu stood up , ready to leave the space to Daiyu.

"Madam thinks that the third younger sister is not good enough for the second brother, do you also think that I am not good enough for you? Do you think the wife thinks so, but does she also have the same thoughts in her heart?" Daiyu still turned her back, her usually clear and lingling voice carried Some choked up.

Hearing such accusations, Mingxu couldn't laugh or cry: "Why did it involve me? Yu'er don't want to get angry."

"You also think I'm being petty? Unyielding?"

Ming Xu intended to coax her, but instead made Dai Yuyi forget about the past.

"It was my inappropriate words that caused Yu'er to misunderstand." Seeing that she was serious, Mingxu also apologized earnestly: "Yu'er and I were married since we were young, how can we compare with them? The perfect combination is just right, you have never been unworthy of me, and I have never admired you."

Seeing his serious expression, Daiyu suddenly felt ashamed and felt that she shouldn't have said such words. She knew best how Mingxu took her with her, but today she was forced to be disturbed and her words were out of proportion.

But she was also frank, consciously slipped her words, and immediately admitted her mistake: "It was my words that were inappropriate, and you coax me too."

He also asked Zijuan to come in and tidy up the bed, "It's better to take these to the study, I don't know if you are lazy or hardworking if you put them here."

"Of course there are. Yu'er often flips through books on the roof, can you see what I said?" Mingxu said helplessly, and also noticed Daiyu's intention to drive him away, and touched his wife who was a little embarrassed. Hair, waved his sleeves to leave space for Daiyu to be alone.

After leaving the inner room, Ming Xu didn't go to the study, but walked out of the courtyard.

"Mother, has my sister received a letter recently?" When Ming Xu arrived, Mrs. Song was talking about the patterns on a piece of fabric with the nurse beside her, and when she saw him coming, she quickly pulled someone to sit down.

"Why do you think of asking this?" Song said with a smile: "You don't come to my place, and ask your sister when you come, she didn't see you paying attention when she was at home."

"When I'm at home, I'll see you if you want, so why ask again."

"The last letter came from New Year's Eve, and it came with the New Year's ceremony, but not recently. What's the matter? Do you have any news?"

"My mother laughed at me, but my father didn't believe me. What information can I know. I just feel in my heart that it's time to come back."

Mother Jia gave Tanchun other choices, shouldn't it be time for my sister to go back.

"How can you think like this, there is no guarantee during the Chinese New Year."

Mingxu smiled lightly, but didn't say anything, the battle is unusual, how can there be any certainty.

"Mother, brother Xi already has a reputation, have you thought about important things for him?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago. If I remind you, it's not too late. Since your daughter-in-law learned how to be a housekeeper, it's easy for me. I'm just thinking about it. Even my brother can take a look at it, and decide early like you It's also good." Song mentioned this and opened up the chatter box: "You know that kid, Brother Xi, and he looks good, but if you are looking for a wife for him, you always feel that the ordinary ones are not good enough, so you have to find someone Those who look like him, that child has a good temper, even those who are fierce, but gentle and sensible."

"If you want both this and that, how can anyone be perfect? ​​Mother, let's look at the right one first." Mingxu was a little helpless. This was the first time for her mother to meet her daughter-in-law, and she was very interested.

"Where can I remind you."

"Yes, yes, I'm talking nonsense, my mother is more considerate."
