[Red House] But for the sake of the king

"Forgive me, my old lady. My old lady is not feeling well. The young lady serves soup and medicine day and night, and her clothes are not untied. She really can't get out. A special gift, and a set of shoes and socks made by the young lady herself. I wish the old lady a bright future."

Jia's mother was not happy because she didn't see Daiyu, but Tang's disease was serious, and the imperial doctor was on guard day and night, so she knew it, because she said, "Yu'er has a heart, so it is important to take care of her grandmother. You go back and tell her, let her take care of her." She also needs to take care of her body, and I will pick her up when the in-laws are fully recovered."

Nanny Ding knew that her young lady didn't want to spend more time with her, she knew that it was the same whether she took it or not, but she still agreed with a smile on her face.

Back at Lin's house, when Nanny Ding told Mother Jia's words, Daiyu really didn't care, she just let her go to rest, and rushed to feed Tang's soup without asking any more questions.

A month ago, Tang's had an occasional cold and thought it was a minor illness, but after a few days it didn't get better, and it even got worse. In recent days, it has been lingering on the couch and unable to get up.The imperial doctor changed several times, and the prescriptions were changed like water, but it didn't get better.It was Dr. Li who was invited by the family to tell the truth, saying that the old lady was getting old and was about to get ready.As a folk custom, even if you don't need it, it's good to have a rush.

Daiyu took the decoction from the servant girl's hand and called out softly, "Grandmother, it's time to take the medicine."

Tang shi vaguely heard a familiar voice, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Daiyu in front of her eyes, and she was very happy.It's just that I couldn't bear to drink this soup, because I said, "Forget it, if you drink more bitter juice, it will be like this, I know my own body, you tell your father not to waste his time, let those imperial doctors go back. Even when I am old, with his precious medicinal materials, it will not make me suffer if I hold my breath, and let everything take its course."

Daiyu's eyes turned red again when she heard this, and she held back her tears and said, "What grandma said, it's just a cold, it's not because you procrastinate and refuse to take the medicine. It can be cured. Knowing that you are afraid of suffering, you added high-quality rock sugar in it, and prepared a plate of candied fruit, which you asked them to prepare when Yu'er took medicine last time. It will not be bitter if you eat one and keep it."

Tang said with a light smile, "Silly boy, everyone is mortal. Grandma is getting old, so she is going to accompany your grandfather."

Seeing that her eyes were lost, Daiyu threw the soup on the ground in a panic and called her loudly, "Grandma, grandma, don't scare Yu'er."

Tang pulled out her hand to hold Daiyu's, "Don't be afraid, Yu'er, grandma is fine, but a little tired. You go and call your father, I have something to tell him."

Daiyu didn't dare to leave at this time, she hurriedly ordered her servant girl to call for someone, and she stood by the bed, holding Tang's hand, staring at her without blinking, fearing that she might miss Tang's, so she went.

As soon as Lin Ruhai came in, he saw Tang sitting on the bed, his face was flushed, he was worried instead of happy, and knew that it might be a flashback, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked over.Because of what Dr. Li said, he didn't dare to go out these days, except for going to court every day, he almost stayed at home.

Seeing him coming in, Tang said to Daiyu, "Look, your father is here too, you should go and rest first. I'm afraid I didn't sleep again last night. I woke up several times and saw you sitting beside me. Look at the blackness under the eyes. I will talk to your father for a while, and it will be fine in a while. You go to sleep and be obedient."

Daiyu looked at her Lin Ruhai, then at Tang, and finally went out.It's just that as soon as he got outside, he immediately ordered someone to call Lin Heng. He also guarded here last night and was driven back by her when he got up early.

Tang was full of energy at the moment, smiled and asked Lin Ruhai to sit down, and said, "Actually, I have said almost what I have to explain. You understand, and you are devoted to your child. I have nothing to worry about. Anyway, Yu'er Although outsiders don't know about it, they are not afraid of regretting the marriage if the emperor decides. Tell Yuer slowly that girls tend to be shy. If it is really inconvenient for you, let your two cousins Said. Poor Yu'er lost her mother early, and I can't make it to that time, otherwise I should tell her all these things. Fortunately, she has a adoptive mother like Princess Dongping, who is also very good to her. I think I will tell you in the future. As for Heng'er, there are still a few years left, you have to take a closer look at him when the time comes, and don't let him act like you."

Lin Ruhai suppressed his grief and said, "Mother, don't worry, your son will know."

Seeing him like this, Tang laughed again, "How old are you, why are you still crying? Could it be that you are sad to know that my little family fortune is not for you?"

Lin Ruhai quickly wiped away tears, forced a smile, "Mother was joking."

Tang said, "Come on, I'm telling the truth. I've already shared that little thing between Yu'er and Heng'er. It's not that I'm partial. Young miss, the dowry should not be thin in the future, only by marrying into the North Prince's mansion can he be able to hold down the servants. You tell Heng'er, I don't believe that their siblings will argue over this matter, just explain it clearly to avoid knots in your heart. "

Lin Ruhai was afraid that he would cry again as soon as he opened his mouth, so he simply nodded and remained silent.

Tang stopped for a moment, took a breath, and continued, "I won't talk about other trivial matters. Anyway, the family is in the care of Yu'er, so there is nothing to worry about. This last matter, since I I have been married to the Lin family for more than 40 years. Your father has been hiding it from me, and even you helped him hide it from me. Now I am going to be buried, so I have to ask him carefully. As for your concerns, there is no need to worry. In the past, I couldn't figure it out. I always felt that the Lin family fell into the hands of our mothers, and I was sorry for the ancestors. It's just the emperor and the courtiers, so it's better to withdraw early. You will continue to be your first-rank official or official in the future. It’s disarming and returning to the fields, you can think about it yourself. The only thing is, don’t put yourself in danger and ruin your family.”

Lin Ruhai choked up and said, "Mother, don't worry, your son will take care of himself."

Tang smiled, "Okay, I'm tired, you should go back first."

Lin Ruhai was worried, and walked to the door and whispered to the servant girl to call him if there was anything wrong.Seeing the two siblings waiting outside, he said, "Your grandmother has already rested, you go back first."

Daiyu said, "Don't worry about my daughter, she'd better stay outside. Daddy, grandma, is she..."

Lin Ruhai pointed to the outside, walked to the corridor and said, "I'm afraid it's just a day or two, so you don't have to panic, let alone show it in front of your grandmother."

Daiyu covered her face with a veil, and wept softly, the whole veil was soaked with tears after a while.Lin Heng also lowered his head and wept. After all, he was too young to hold back.

The Tang family inside did not lie down, but asked someone to get a new set of clothes for her to change into, and asked the servant girl to wash her face and wash her hands, comb her hair, and then lay down.

Nanny Lu has been with the Tang family for many years, and she is an old man who has lived for many years. She knew that the time had come, so she held back her tears and asked the maid to dress up according to the old lady's preferences.Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he went outside and choked up, "Master, go and have a look."

The father and daughter went in hastily, but they saw that Tang was sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face, his face was ashen.Lin Ruhai went forward to check his breath, and he had already gone.

Daiyu was devastated, she stood there stunned, and only came to her senses when she heard the sobbing of the maid beside her. Knowing that her grandmother had left, she threw herself on Tang's body and began to cry bitterly.

Because everything was ready, I only heard a letter from inside. From the gate to the inner house, the doors were opened wide, and all the white paper was pasted. They all put on filial piety clothes, and ordered people to report funerals everywhere.

Lin Ru posted Ding You, so there is no reason for Jun Qi to be against it.Another decree was made, remembering the meritorious service of the Lin family for generations, Tang's family was also a first-rank imperial wife, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to be the chief priest, and another 1000 taels of silver would be rewarded.

As the only son, Lin Ruhai naturally had to keep watch, but no one cared about the outside affairs, and Daiyu and his brother also had to keep watch, so there was no one to take care of them inside.Fortunately, people from the Tang family came as soon as they got the letter. Tang Yan and Tang Hao brought their two wives and their three sons in Beijing together, which could help a lot.

But she said that Mother Jia felt sorry for Daiyu's young age, and she wanted to send someone to help, but her two daughters-in-law were either incompetent or didn't care about things. Among the next few granddaughters-in-law, Sister Feng and Mrs. , but with the internal affairs of a government on his body, he can easily escape there.

It's just that Jia Lian thought that Lin Ruhai was kind to him, so after discussing with Sister Feng for a while, she asked her to tell Jia's mother that there are so many servants in the family, and if they leave for two or three days, they can still collapse. and second aunt.When Jia Mu heard this, she was very happy, but she just asked Sister Feng to help her, so as not to overwhelm the host.Sister Feng readily agreed, because she had never experienced such a big event, and she didn't dare to show off too much, but learned a lot from the two wives of the Tang family, this is a later story.

On the day of the funeral, Jun Qi met Lin Ruhai in the sacrificial shed under the cover of the Northern Prince's Mansion. Seeing that he had lost weight in a short period of time, he was very distressed, but there was nothing to comfort him, so he had to say a few words to comfort him .At this time, Lin Ruhai didn't have time to say more, and hurried past.

Tang's coffin will be temporarily placed in a temple outside the city for three days.Lin Ruhai has already signed up for the book, and this time he went south, one is to help the spirit return to his hometown, and the other is to keep a filial piety in his hometown in Gusu. It will take three years to go.The word filial piety is at the forefront, even the emperor can't stop it.

On the boat heading south, Lin Ruhai stood facing the wind, feeling unstoppably desolate.Seeing the cooking smoke rising from the boat at the back, Lin Ruhai knew that it was another girl who was making medicine for Daiyu.The child had endured for so many days, his not-so-strong body couldn't bear it, and after being swayed on the boat like this, he fell ill the first day.Suddenly thinking of his previous life, Yu'er's insufficiency has always been his heart disease. Before sending her to Beijing, he will take care of her for a long time before he dares to let her go on the road. I don't know if it is the same on the boat as now.It was my mother who passed away that day, and this time it was my grandmother who died again, so it might be the same scene.

Lin Ruhai let out a long sigh, not knowing what he was thinking that day, so he sent his daughter to the capital alone.However, it was a helpless move at that time. According to the subsequent situation, if she were to stay in Yangzhou, she might be implicated by herself.Fortunately, this life is very different. He has protected his daughter until now, and will send her to marry in the future.The Lin family also has successors, although Heng'er is not a direct descendant, at least she will not lose her incense.

And he himself is completely different.Thinking of Jun Qi's earnest advice before coming, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, wondering if his wishful thinking could be realized this time.
