Indulgence in the Red Chamber

As expected, Xuan Ning became famous in one fell swoop after having a feast in the Royal Garden.

The dignitaries and ministers in the capital, the princes and nobles, the children of the Eight Banners, and the princes and elder brothers all heard and said this name in their ears.Think about it, all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were helpless. He, a teenage young man, managed to turn his life back to life. The most important thing was that he was not only loved by the emperor, but also praised by the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager issued a decree, Xuan Ning Guan granted the fourth-rank medical administration to the Tai Hospital.The salary of the fourth grade of Shizheng.

A 16-year-old fourth-rank medical policy is the first one not only in the Qing Dynasty, but in the entire history of China.

There was an endless stream of congratulatory people at Sibeile's residence, but Xuan Ning hadn't seen anyone these days.

Jinyu is busy with socializing every day, so she can't go to Daiyu's room a few times.Shufu Jin Li family lifted the foot ban because of the [-]th elder brother's hundred-day banquet, and had a lot of time to hang out. Almost every day, he would come to Daiyu's No Fragrance Courtyard to sit for a while, gossip, and make a lot of noise. Daiyu was very depressed, and it was hard to tell Jinyu, so every time she came, she simply pretended to be asleep and fell on the bed and couldn't get up.

That day, as soon as Li Shi left with her girl Huiyun, Xuanning came back from the outside. Seeing Daiyu sleeping on the bed, she asked Xueyan strangely: "When is this, why are you girls still sleeping?"

"Where is she sleeping?" Xueyan smiled and turned around, went to the bed and raised the curtain. When Xuanning looked at it, she saw Daiyu lying on her side with a book in her hand.

"Read carefully. If you look at it like this, your eyes will wear out." Xuan Ning walked to the bed and took Daiyu's book away.

"My place was quiet for a while, and you made trouble again. You come and go, this room has become a vegetable market." Daiyu sat up unhappily, leaned on the pillow and sighed.

"Who's here? Is it Shufu Jin?" Xuan Ning returned the book in his hand to Daiyu with a smile, and before she could speak, he said, "Don't worry, we will move out in a few days. You will always be quiet." I'm afraid you'll still be bored by then."

"Moving out? Fourth master and the emperor allowed us to go back to the Lin family's private house?" Daiyu sat up straight in surprise, clapping her hands and saying, "That's great."

Lin Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "No. If Si Ye and Si Fujin heard your words, I don't know how sad they are. Don't they treat you well? When I heard that I was going to leave, I was so happy, as if this place is a prison .”

"I've been busy dispensing medicines for the army for a while, and I'll take you out to see our newly built garden when I'm done working these few days."

"A newly built garden? You bought land to build a garden again?" Daiyu's eyes widened in surprise. She had never heard any news about this matter. This guy is getting more and more out of order.Even if there is money in hand, there is no such a wasteful way.Besides, with such a limelight, I don't know how those people will be jealous. Even if there are Lord Long Live and Concubine Defei as amulets now, there is no way to go back justifiably, and it is better to keep a low profile.

Seeing that Daiyu was only surprised but not happy, Lin Ning hurriedly explained: "I didn't buy the land. Even if I have money, I don't dare to make decisions on my own. Anyway, I have to discuss it with you. This garden is what Long Live wants. It was repaired, and it was said to be in preparation for next year's Longevity Festival. It has been a long time since Sibeiler was in charge of this matter. Bored and bored at home, wouldn't it be nice for me to take you there for a stroll another day?"

"You're lying." Daiyu glared at him angrily.

"No, what am I lying about?"

"You're clearly lying! I'll ignore you." Daiyu said, turning around and getting out of bed.

"Hey hey hey—I'm sorry, I'm the one who lied, good girl, don't go away..." Seeing that Daiyu was serious, Lin Ning stepped forward to hold her back, "I need to talk about it first, why are you insisting on it?" Am I lying?"

"Long live Lord is busy with the west expedition, how can he have the mind to repair the garden? This is one. Second, you said tens of thousands of taels of silver have been allocated from the treasury? You are dreaming, the grain and grass in the northwest are not enough, and now the west expedition In the near future, Long Live Lord doesn’t say that we should hurry up to buy food and grass, how can we have spare money to repair the garden? Are you fooling me? Think I’m a three-year-old child?” Daiyu said, shaking her hands and leaving again.

"Hehe...you are so clever, the little master is so clever, the servant really admires it!" Xuan Ning said, stretched out his hand to put Daiyu back in his arms, pulled a small jacket over her shoulders, and pointed to her The nose smiled and said: "Such a young girl is so smart, if she grows up, will she be okay? No one in the world is under your eyes."

"You still call me little master, if you call me again, I will die without a place to die." Daiyu was a little shy by Xuanning's words, she pushed him away and turned to sit on the bed.Thinking of De Fei's half-warning and half-supporting tea that day, I feel awkward.

"What nonsense? Who cares what the two of us say? I prefer to call it that way. Who dares to understand you, I will naturally settle the score with him."

"Why can't you care? Do you think that no one cares about you when you are here? You don't know that what you said here today will be spread to the palace before dark. The masters in the palace care about you, and you dare to refute Is it?" Daiyu asked unconvinced.

In fact, it wasn't that she intentionally made things difficult for Xuan Ning, it was just that such doubts had been held back in her heart for a long time.It's the same reason that men and women in love often ask foolishly 'who do you save first when my mother and I fall into the water at the same time'.The inexplicable worry about gains and losses has quietly taken root in her heart, but this little girl still doesn't understand what kind of feelings this is.

"The master of the palace?" Xuan Ning was taken aback for a moment, and after seeing that there was no one else in the room, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is the concubine De concubine looking for you? When did it happen?"

"No. What do you want me to do? I'm just talking." Daiyu turned her head away from him.

"Look at me." Xuan Ning raised his hand to hold her cheek, making her face to face with him, "When did it happen? What did she ask you for?"

Daiyu was stared directly at by Xuan Ning, her heart was pounding, she stretched out her two hands, and tried hard to break Xuan Ning's hand: "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Yu'er!" Xuanning lowered his head, put his forehead against Daiyu's forehead, let go of his hands, but stretched out his arms to wrap around her shoulders, and whispered: "I will never hide anything from you, you have something to say You can't hide it from me either. We are sincere to each other and we don't deceive each other. Okay?"

Daiyu was silent, not knowing how to answer.

"I got some money outside. The emperor rewarded some silver taels for dispensing medicines for the army. The medicinal materials are also in the pharmacy I designated, and there are some profits. So now we have five or sixty thousand taels of silver available. I want to build a The garden is for you, plant your favorite Xiangfei bamboo in it, dig a pond full of lotus, pile up a hill, build a mountain villa for Mid-Autumn Festival, and a place to enjoy snow and plum blossoms... I want to collect all the beautiful scenery in the world into this garden. Then I, you and our family will all live in it. Okay?" He thought, isn’t it just a grand view garden?If I build it in advance and let her live in it, can I change my fate against the sky, so that she will no longer suffer and live a life of being dependent on others?

Xuan Ning murmured, and the hot breath he exhaled gently touched Daiyu's ear, making her heart itch.Suffering from having nowhere to hide, Daiyu shook her head and said in a low voice, "According to what you said, how can five or sixty thousand taels of silver be enough? Even five or six million taels may not be perfect."

"Well, that's true." Xuan Ning said, raised his head, looked at the roof and made a calculation in his heart, then lowered his head and smiled: "Don't be afraid, we still have some industries in Jiangnan, and the money will be enough for us. Besides, it will take one or two years to build this garden. If I don't earn five or six million taels of silver during this period, it will be a waste of my good medical skills."

"Don't be ashamed, how can there be such a boastful person?" Daiyu laughed softly.

"I'm such a person. Who told you to meet me? You brought me home again? I'm depending on you now." Xuan Ning said, lowering his head and gently pressing a kiss on her forehead.

"You have been relying on me for a long time. You are clearly a rascal!" Daiyu smiled.

Such a person treats himself like this, even if he suffers a little grievance, what is it?Besides, Concubine De is eager to love her son, so just say a few irrelevant words, just pretend that she didn't hear it.Who is going to embarrass whom seriously?The palace walls are tall and thick, how many times can we see each other in a year?Besides, she gave birth to him, which was a great favor to herself.

The fragrance of orchids is faint, faintly present.

Autumn in the north is shorter, and people have not had time to savor it carefully. The first snow in October bends the maple branches, and the black chrysanthemums in the house are more and more beautiful reflecting the charcoal fire. Wear thick winter clothes.

It was dusk again, Xuan Ning came in from the outside with a big doro bag in his hand, Xue Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take it, while Zi Juan opened the thick curtain at the door of Dai Yu's bedroom.

"How is the girl today?" Xuan Ning handed the cloak to Zijuan's hand, and walked into the room, only to see Shu Fu Jin Li Shi also sitting inside, chatting with Dai Yu.Seeing him coming in, Shi Li stood up involuntarily.

"Hey, where is Shu Fujin?" Xuan Ning smiled and nodded at Li Shi.The two had conflicts since the time of giving the dowry, and they rarely met in the mansion, and even if they did, they would consciously avoid it.This time Xuan Ning came in suddenly, Li Shi heard the movement in the room, but it was too late to leave.

"Hello, young master." Li shi slightly blessed her body and smiled awkwardly.

"Shu Fu Jin, please sit down." Xuan Ning said, sitting on the chair that Dai Yu usually sat on.Zijuan came over with tea, and Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I've been out for a while, and I'm afraid there will be some food in Fujin's room now. Sit down, my lord, and I'll go for a walk in front."

"Shufu Jin is light and convenient." Lin Ning said while drinking tea.

Daiyu got up to see her off, but Li hurriedly stopped: "Miss just sit down, it's very cold outside, so don't come out."

"Fujin go slowly." Daiyu sent her to the door, and asked Zijuan and Xueyan to go out for her, before she turned around and came back.

"Does she come here often?" Lin Ning leaned on the chair and looked at Daiyu. Today she was wearing a pea green brocade brocade white fox coat that reached her knees, and the collar and cuffs were covered with white and delicate wind feathers. There is a red butterfly sash tied around the waist, a red horse-face skirt underneath, and peach red silk embroidered shoes.

"About once a day. Every time she goes to Fujin's room to say hello, she has to pass by my door. It's just a passing favor, it's nothing." Daiyu smiled, sitting next to Xuanning, looking at his collar There were still a few snowflakes, so he raised his hand to flick them off, and asked, "Did you just come back from outside?"

"Well, our own silk and satin factory in the south asked the Ling family to bring some clothes for you to spend the winter. Snow Goose—bring the clothes to show your girls."

"Sifujin just asked someone to send four clothes yesterday, and I don't lack these here, so why don't the new year's and festivals send clothes here?"

"This is an example, and they should be filial. Besides, don't you feel more comfortable wearing the clothes from our own shop?" Xuan Ning said, taking the package from Xueyan's hand, and when he opened it But there are six clothes, two small ones and two big ones, all of which are made of high-quality fur and exquisitely embroidered. Apart from the homely colors, their quality is even finer than those used by the imperial court.

Daiyu listened with a smile on her face.Shaking his head, he said: "Just now that Shu Fujin spoke insinuatingly, saying that our board and lodging were all paid by this mansion. Now that you say this again, it can be regarded as saying."

Lin Ning's eyes turned cold, and he frowned. After a long silence, Fang smiled and said, "She's a bastard, you don't have to argue with her. We don't have a penny from them for food in this house. Every month I They will give 200 taels of silver to the kitchen manager here, even if you are a big belly Miller, you can’t eat 200 taels of silver. They took our money, so they should serve us. I dare to wait in front of Si Ye and Si Fujin Saying this. Living here, firstly, it is the affection of our friends, and secondly, it is the will of the Long Live God. If you argue with these bastards every day, wouldn’t you be exhausted?"

Daiyu chuckled: "Who cares about them? I'm just talking casually. If I was serious about it, I would have said it a long time ago. Why wait until now? A few days ago, Si Fujin heard that you were building a garden, and told me She said a lot of things. Now that she is in a heavy body, it is not good to come here every day in the ice and snow, so some people dare to be presumptuous and say more useless things."

"Hey, you said this. I haven't seen Sifujin for a while. I heard that she was pregnant, but I forgot to congratulate her. Why don't you come with me while I'm free? How about a few pills for twins? How about it?"

"Very good. I didn't go to see her yesterday, and it's getting dark again today. If I don't go, another day will pass." As Daiyu said, she asked Xueyan to bring her cloak, and the girl to take her Xueyan and Zijuan put on the cloak, took the gloves, and put on the hood before helping Daiyu to go out.

Xuanning put on the cloak by himself, went back to his courtyard with Daiyu first, and came forward with the pills.

But Shu Fu Jin Li came out of Daiyu's Wuxiang Courtyard, walked all the way to the front main room, just turned the hallway, and met a person head-on. Because he didn't see Li Shi while walking in the snow, he bumped into Li Shi head-on and bumped into Li Shi.

Mrs. Li staggered from being knocked over, and made a fuss, opening her mouth to curse: "Where did you come from, a foolish bastard? A blind dog slave, here he is playing tricks on your mother!"

"Yo! This slave is blind, I didn't see it was Fujin, my slave Fu Hai bumped into Fujin and was willing to be punished, please calm down Fujin, don't get angry..." This Fu Hai is a sharp-tongued slave, usually the most He likes to be opportunistic, because Yinzhen and Jinyu don't like him, so he is only asked to wait outside.This person was well aware of this Shu Fujin's temper, so he hurriedly picked up nice things to say.

"Shut your mouth, and you won't get angry if you don't say a few words." Hui Yun pointed at Fu Hai and cursed angrily.

"Yes, yes, shut up, slave." After speaking, Fu Hai bent down to pick up a box on the ground.

"What is this? For whom?"

"This is Shexiang Baoxin Pill." Fu Hai replied honestly, "My slave's old lady had angina pectoris, and this servant asked Mr. Ning to prescribe these pills to treat my old lady's heartache."

"Shexiang Baoxin Pill?" Li's heart trembled, Musk!

"Bring it to Fujin to have a look." Hui Yun stretched out her hand as she spoke.

Fu Hai had no choice but to hand over the box honestly.Huiyun took it and opened it for Mrs. Li to see. There were six pills neatly placed in the box, the size of a longan, dark brown.

"It's just right, I also suffered from heartache these two days. Why don't you give me these pills first. I will give you money and you can go and give it to your old lady. How about it?" Mrs. Li said coldly.

"Yes, yes, Fujin is useful, just take it. Fujin's body is getting better, and it is also a blessing that the slave has cultivated in several lifetimes..."

"Hui Yun?" Li took the box and glanced at Hui Yun. Hui Yun took out a certain amount of money from his sleeve and put it in Fu Hai's hand, then said with a coquettish smile, "Fu Hai, this is your blessing. If Fujin Tell fourth master that you bumped into her today, and your little life will be lost."

"I also ask the girl to be virtuous, and to say a few good things for the servant in front of Fujin. The servant is very grateful." Fu Hai nodded and bowed hurriedly, looking like a pug.

"Okay, you can go. Pass the dinner later, and you won't be able to go out if you want to go out." Hui Yun impatiently shook the handkerchief in his hand to drive away the sour taste in the boy's mouth.

"Yes yes yes." Fu Hai hurriedly ran out.

In the snow, Mrs. Li stood in the hallway, blowing the cold wind, with a vague sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Fu Jin, this musk is a good thing." Hui Yun walked a few steps, rushed to Li Shi's side, and whispered in her ear, "I heard that Fujin is pregnant..."

"Well, Hui Yun, you can't talk about this matter. I heard the imperial doctor said that the days are still short, maybe Fujin is exhausted from hard work, menstruation... how do you call it? Oh, it's menstruation It's out of tune. We shouldn't gossip about these words, let's go obediently, and don't miss the time for us to pay respects to Fujin." Li Shi smiled, quietly put the box in her arms, and slowly went go forward.
