[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

113,

But it's been a long time since it happened, so it might be difficult to find out.

Wen Renlin calmed down and flipped through a few booklets on the desk. These two books summarized all the big and small things in Beijing and China in the past two years, and beside them were some comments from Zhao Fengju.

In the past two years, the elder brother has been known for his ruthless methods, and in a short period of time, he has crippled and crippled several brothers.If Wen Renlin hadn't gone away, he might not be able to escape Wen Renpei's black hand.

It's just that Wen Renpei acted so fast, he felt a little impatient.

Thinking of what Daiyu said, Wen Renlin thought of the second brother who was recuperating at the Zhuangzi outside the city.Speaking of which, it may be a long time since I've been back to Beijing this time, so it's time to visit this second brother Wen Renji who has always been quiet.

Now it's winter, the maple leaves outside the city are as red as blood, and the cold wind blows across his cheeks, Wen Renlin can only feel the bleak autumn wind while riding on the horse, and there is a chill in it.

Wen Renji lives next to the hot spring, this place is lively, not far away is the first prince's Zhuangzi, and on the other side of the mountain is the boundary between the sixth son and the deposed fourth son.

Just as he got off his horse outside Wen Renji's courtyard, he saw a pockmarked face come to greet him.

Wen Renlin followed him into the yard, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a huge screen, which was placed inside the gate, blocking all sight from inside.

But the screen is all white, and only a few strokes of a small boat floating on the river are drawn with wolf hair.

It can be vaguely seen that this painting is still drawn by Wen Renji, but I don't know why this thing is placed here.

The lead with pockmarked face lowered his head and led Wen Renlin around the screen, and saw a gravel path winding among the trees.

I only heard Wen Renji's voice from there: "Fifth brother, come here."

Wen Renlin raised his foot and walked into the bush, only to find that the inside was quite big, there was a large area of ​​white camellia blooming in this place, and there was a two-story building in the middle, and Wen Renji was standing on that building and looking at it. Wen Renlin.

This second prince is a literati, and his body has been a little weak since he was a child, so he only likes to dance and write, and he is very professional in knowledge.Although he doesn't show up much on weekdays, he is also a worthy figure in front of the emperor.

It's just that when Wen Renlin saw him today, he was wearing a half-worn gown and a silver fox cloak over his shoulders. His face was sallow, and his hair was loosely tied. He didn't look very good.

Wen Renlin smiled and said as he walked upstairs: "It's been a long time since I've been back to Beijing to see Brother Huang. I'm really rude." After saying that, he asked his subordinates to take out a box. herbs.

Wen Renji glanced at the ganoderma lucidum with a large mouth, and instructed the servant girl to take it, and lay down on the soft bed at the side, took a few breaths, took a sip of clear tea, and said, "Fifth Brother, sit down as you please."

Wen Renlin sat by the window, looked at the brazier in the middle of the room, and looked at the books, calligraphy and paintings all over the room, and couldn't help saying: "Second brother should take good care of his illness, why is he still so sad."

The second prince, Wen Renji, covered his mouth and coughed twice, shook his head, looked at Wen Renlin and said: "You have been outside for two years, and your style is even better than before."

Wen Renlin got up to help the second prince get some tea, only to realize that what was in his pot was not tea, but smelled like medicine.

Wen Renji took a big sip with a dry smile, looked at Wen Renlin and said, "I had some illnesses brought out from the womb. My father and queen mother took pity on me and always took care of me, but it took more than ten years to live a peaceful life. Unexpectedly He didn't even let me go, and even bribed the servants in my mansion to hide the witchcraft thing in my study. He also attracted Lao Qi, an ignorant fool, to see it."

Speaking of this, Wen Renji's face changed, and he pointed to the brazier and said, "I have never thought about this position, and my father would not give this position to a person who is not healthy. But I didn't understand why the always gentle The eldest brother is so ruthless, I looked at him as if he would not let him go."

"Could it be that Father doesn't know!" Wen Renlin couldn't help but say.

"Hehe!" Wen Renji coughed violently twice, his face flushed unnaturally, and he spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the handkerchief.Wen Renlin's heart tightened, it didn't look like it was an act.

Although the second elder brother was never in good health, he actually looked like...

Wen Renlin sat down, calmed down and said: "Second brother, rest assured, after a while, Father will definitely figure it out."

Wen Renji looked at Wen Renlin and said, "I don't blame my father, I only blame myself for being lax." Wen Renji took out two pieces of paper from the pile of books at the side and handed them to Wen Renlin, saying: " You look at this."

Wen Renlin took the letter paper. On it was a letter from home written by Xu Xian. It seemed that he had gone to Beijing to rush for the exam and got an errand in the First Prince's Mansion, saying that he would wait another three years before taking the exam.At the end of the letter, he said that he had met a woman and that the two fell in love with each other.This second letter was a bit short, only saying that he would go back to his hometown as soon as possible.

Wen Renlin looked at the letter, and found that Xu Xian was just one of many failed candidates, and there were many such scholars in the capital.But Wen Renji deliberately showed it to himself, there must be his reasons.

Especially when it said that he worked in the First Prince's Mansion and knew a woman.

Wen Renlin looked at Wen Renji, frowned and said, "Could it be that..."

Wen Renji smiled, pressed Wen Renlin's hand and said, "The next step is to see what Fifth Brother will do."

Wen Renlin's expression did not change, he sat back to his original position, took two sips from the tea cup, and then left.

There was a heavy snowfall, and the palace sent people to the eldest prince's mansion to take the eldest prince's only son into the palace. They only said that the empress liked children.

Everyone knows that the queen raised Wen Renlin's only son, and now she has taken in the eldest prince's son. Outsiders don't know what the queen thinks.

In the past few days, Wen Renlin asked his subordinates to visit many famous doctors in private, but he heard that an old Taoist priest in a Taoist temple had received a man in a Chinese dress who covered his face.

The old Taoist priest was wearing a dark blue Taoist uniform, with an ebony hairpin on his head, and his gray beard was shaking. Seeing Wen Renlin, he smiled and said, "Looking at your appearance, it doesn't look like you can't do it." ah!"

When Wen Renlin heard this, his face changed, and he looked at Zhao Fengju who was beside him.Zhao Fengju's face turned red and said in a low voice: "I've inquired about it, and this man has such a temper, but I heard that it's not good to rule over men, and many people in Beijing have asked him to have a look."

Wen Renlin sat on the chair, without beating around the bush, and asked directly: "Two years ago, did you see someone who was infertile."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "I don't remember."

Zhao Fengju glared at the old Taoist and said, "Didn't you say I showed it to a man in a fancy dress!"

The old Taoist said with a smile: "It's not that there are too many people, and it's been a long time so I can't remember clearly!"

"Pick up what you know." Zhao Fengju urged from the side.

The old Taoist didn't feel annoyed, instead he leisurely took out a pipe from his trouser waist, took two puffs, and then looked at Wen Renlin when the smoke came out, and said, "Your Highness, you don't mind if I take two puffs!"

Wen Renlin only felt his eyelids twitch, but he still asked the maid outside to move a stool for the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the round stool, took two puffs of cigarettes, knocked twice and squinted his eyes and said, "Old Taoist, I was a medical student when I was young, but my master tricked me into becoming a Taoist priest. It is rare, remote and uninhabited, so the master simply left two incomplete books, which was to see that the man was infertile. The world thinks that giving birth is a woman's business, but in fact it has more to do with men. I usually see the doctor , and also supplement my Taoism." Speaking of which, the old Taoist looked at Wen Renlin from the beginning to the end, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the poor Taoist can give you a free prescription..."

Before the old Taoist could finish speaking, Wen Renlin's expression immediately turned pale, he stood up, pointed to the old Taoist and said, "Feng Ju, you can ask him carefully, and just put him in a safe place." gone.

Seeing Wen Renlin walking away, the old man put away his cigarette stick, looked at Zhao Fengju and said, "After all, I haven't seen that man's face, he has covered his face several times when he came here."

Zhao Fengju smiled wryly and said: "I know you are afraid of causing trouble, and you deliberately scared His Highness away just now. As long as you point out that person, I will definitely donate a sum of money to repair and repair your Taoist temple."

The old Taoist sighed and said: "How do you dignitaries know the hardships of us people." He walked out while talking.After walking out of the house, he turned his head and said to Zhao Fengju: "No, I have to take another look at that person before I can testify for you. If I make a mistake, my little life will be lost."

Zhao Fengju looked at the old man, thought for a while, and it was not impossible to take a look from a distance, so he agreed immediately.
