Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

Jia Lan took a sip of his tea and let the bitter taste enter his stomach. He stood up and said, "Mother may have woken up. I'll go and have a look. I won't disturb Fourth Auntie." go.

Xichun didn't look at him, she was turning the beads in her hand, and muttering in her mouth.

Sorrow arises from love, fear arises from love; apart from the one who loves, there is neither worry nor fear.

When entering Daoxiang Village, passing Biyue, he asked in a low voice, "When Aunt Lin went, was it September [-]th?"

Bi Yue was taken aback, and replied, "Yes."

Jia Lan shook his head slightly, it was the day when King Yuanfeng was captured alive and the jade ornament was shattered by the knife.He stroked the wound on the collarbone that was so faded that no scars could be seen, and slowly closed his eyes.

But in a split second, he opened his eyes, and asked Bi Yue, "Is my mother awake?"

After Biyue answered Daiyu's question, she was afraid that Jia Lan would react violently, so she kept paying attention to him, but she didn't want him to just roll her eyes and skip it. "Grandma is already awake."

Li Wan woke up and was leaning against the head of the bed, talking to Suyun.Jia Lan approached and sat down, calling "Mother".

Li Wan said: "I heard from Suyun that you got up early in the morning and looked at the Grand View Garden?"

Jalan nodded yes.Li Wan sighed and said, "I'm afraid you know about Baoyu and Daiyu." Jia Lan nodded again.

Li Wan sighed and did not speak.

Jia Lan then told Li Wan about the jade ornaments Daiyu gave her on the battlefield, and Li Wan said: "This silly girl, if you say you want to thank me for being by her side for the last night, you really thank me." She Looking at the healthy and unscathed Jia Lan shed tears silently.

Jia Lan wiped her tears for her and said: "My mother is sick, so it is not appropriate to be depressed again. Although Aunt Lin's parents are dead, she is lonely, but at least there are a group of sisters like you joking around and having fun. I don't have too many complaints. Mother don't have to worry about it."

Li Wan touched his hand, sighed, but no longer shed tears.

In the morning, Jia Lan greeted Jia Mu good morning. Jia Mu was very kind and didn't mention Daiyu's matter, but said that Baoyu's mind had lost her mind, and she was afraid that it would be useless. yes.Jalan didn't say much.

At noon, I went to see Jia Zheng and talked about his errands abroad. Jia Zheng only said that it was nothing serious, but also said that Jia Lan had made military achievements this time, so it would be better for his family to change to a fifth-rank civilian job and work in Beijing as a errand.Jalan replied to think about it.

In the afternoon, Jia Lan wanted to go to Daiyu's grave to offer three incense sticks, but was told that her body had arrived in Gusu and was buried with Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.Jia Lan built a simple clothes tomb in the bamboo forest of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, burned three sticks of incense, and worshiped three times.

In the evening, I went to see Baoyu again, still confused, took Jia Lan's hand and shouted: "Why didn't Lan'er bring you Aunt Lin? I know, she must be angry with me. But I don't know, I saw Xueyan dowry next to the bride, so I thought it was you, who knows, who knows, who knows, she turned into Sister Bao when she lifted her hijab. Sister Lin, Sister Lin, come out, you hide Whatever you do, I can't find you." At the end of the shout, he waved his hands indiscriminately in the air and cried loudly.

Xiren, Qiuwen and others were also crying uncontrollably, and were persuaded by Baochai to go back to their respective rooms.

Jia Lan looked at the delirious Baoyu, and said wearily: "Nine out of ten rooms in this Grand View Garden are vacant. What are you doing here? Move to the front yard, so it can be taken care of better."

Baochai sat by the bed, looked at Baoyu lightly, and said, "I have already moved to the front yard, but I just heard that you came back, and I was afraid that you would not be used to living here, so I moved them all back."

Jia Lan said: "For me, why go to war?"

Baochai looked at him strangely and said, "Don't you know why the old lady did this?"

Jia Lan frowned and said nothing.

The author has something to say: it will be finished within two weeks, continue to ask for extra content, I will select one or two articles to write in detail, thank you

Preview of the next chapter: Sick and desolate, Li Wan is weak, and Baoyu smiles and walks away

55. Life, death, death

Sick and miserable, Li Wan was physically weak, so he relaxed and lightly smiled and walked away from Baoyu.

In the middle of the night, heavy snow fell outside the window. Jia Lan was awakened by the sound of rain and snow outside the window. After realizing that he was at home in Beijing, he turned over and fell asleep.At four o'clock, his heart throbbed with pain, because it had been throbbing slightly during the day, Jia Lan didn't pay attention to it, but the pain became more and more painful like a sword stab, he struggled to sit up, but heard Li Wan's room outside the window. There was Su Yun's loud cry.

Without even thinking about it, Jia Lan jumped up from the bed and rushed straight to Li Wan's wing.

Hot, very hot.Li Wan's forehead looks like it has just been steamed by hot water, it is so hot that it hurts the hands.

Jia Lan said anxiously: "Go and ask the imperial physician."

Bi Yue cried, "It's snowed half an inch outside, and it's still falling, so I can't go out at all."

Jia Lan rushed to the door, but it was really cold and windy, and the snow was blowing heavily, making it difficult to move an inch.He was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "Jiawu, Jiawu, come out."

No reply.Jia Lan didn't think much about Jiawu's non-following, he turned around and said, "Go and collect all the stoves in Daoxiang Village, Caiwen Tingling will bring out the new ones, Biyue is going to wipe the mother's palms and feet with white wine, Suyun is going to prepare Put a wet towel on your mother's forehead."

Even if he forced his way out now, it was too far away from the imperial hospital. An ordinary doctor could not rest assured. Relying on the little medical knowledge he had learned in the army, he ordered his maid-in-law to surround Li Wan with all heat sources, then gritted his teeth and rushed into the snow.

Jia Lan knew that his little knowledge alone could not solve the problem, so he could only go to Doctor Wang who was familiar with Li Wan's medical history.

Jia Lan was covered in ice and snow, and when she rushed into Wang Taiyi's bedroom like the wind, she shocked Wang Taidoctor.Jia Lan tried her best to calmly inform him of Li Wan's situation, but found that Imperial Physician Wang was intimidated by the heavy snow outside and refused to visit him.

Jia Lan was furious, grabbed the cotton coat on the screen, wrapped Imperial Doctor Wang, and carried him onto the horse.

Arriving at Daoxiang Village quickly, Jia Lan helped Imperial Physician Wang onto a chair, kowtowed respectfully and said, "It's Jia Lan's recklessness that has troubled you so much, but my mother is indeed seriously ill. Please forgive me for the time being. After the diagnosis and treatment, Jia Lan Lan is willing to accept any admonition from Mr.

Imperial Physician Wang was extremely annoyed at first, but when he saw Jia Lan doing such a great gift, his anger could not help but subside a little. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go see your mother first."

All the maids and young daughters-in-law in the room have retreated, leaving behind a few nuns to serve. Through the curtain, Imperial Physician Wang took the pulse, and his expression became more serious.

Jia Lan hurriedly asked, "What did the imperial doctor see?"

Physician Wang waved his hand to prevent him from speaking, then took his pulse cautiously, withdrew his hand and said, "Grandma's illness is a bit serious, and this old man would take the liberty to ask for a look at her complexion."

Several nuns looked distressed, and Jia Lan said: "Mr. has a deep relationship with my family, and he can be regarded as a family friend. The treatment is the most important thing, and other things are fine." He lifted the curtain, Wang Taiyi looked in, and saw Li Wan His complexion was as paper, his lips were pale, and his forehead was full of sweat, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

Jia Lan said in surprise, "Sir."

Doctor Wang asked him to put down the curtains, left the bedroom, and said to Jia Lan, "It's not that I'm old and careless, it's really powerless. Since your father passed away, your mother has been depressed. Later, she lacked energy and blood and gave birth to you prematurely. In the next ten years or so, you will suffer from minor illnesses every season. Over time, seven or eight of your bodies will be ruined. I just hope that you will become a talent, and you have not collapsed. Now, Brother Lang, you have returned to your hometown in fine clothes, and Grandma has nothing to worry about , naturally loosened, and all the symptoms appeared.”

Jia Lan's heart shook, and he murmured, "It was actually my fault."

Physician Wang hurriedly comforted him: "No, no, that's not what I mean."

Jia Lan forced himself to calm down and said, "Is there really no prescription for saving lives, sir?"

Imperial Physician Wang sighed and said, "Actually, a few years ago, the old man expected this kind of situation to happen, and later discovered a life-hanging pill, you can try it."

Jia Lan asked, "What medicine?"

Doctor Wang said: "It's the pill that the lady living in your Xiaoxiang Hall often takes, the famous ginseng Yangrong pill. This medicine nourishes qi and blood, and has mild medicinal properties. It is just right for your mother's illness. Regular consumption should be able to play a role. The effect of hanging."

Jia Lan bowed respectfully to him and said, "Thank you sir."

Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly replied: "Don't thank me in advance, if the medicine fails, there is nothing I can do."

With a heavy heart, Jia Lan said, "I still want to thank you sir."

Jia Lan sent Mingqing to send Imperial Physician Wang back to his mansion. When Imperial Physician Wang left Jia's mansion in a carriage, he looked back at this mansion, which was comparable to the Wang Mansion, and thought that this was probably the last time he came here for a doctor's visit.

The man from Beifu didn't show up for a day, and the capital city changed completely.I didn't want to get involved in the political struggle, but I pitied the child for his filial piety and Gao Yi, and couldn't bear to refuse.

He shook the remnant snow on the curtain of the car, and sighed secretly: "This capital probably won't be able to stay anymore."

After Wang Taiyi left, Jia Lan sent Caiwen to look for Zicuckoo in Jia's mother's room, and asked him if anyone had a prescription for Ginseng Yangrong Pills.Fortunately, they are all very common herbal medicines, which are easy to brew.

After feeding a few times like this, Li Wan's complexion really improved a lot after a few days, but he was still sleepy and unconscious all day long.

On the day when the army returned, the emperor ordered the generals to rest for a month. Jia Lan would not go to court, and would stay by Li Wan's bedside day and night, regardless of the miscellaneous affairs outside the window.

One day Jia Lan got up early and was helping Li Wan wipe his face when Ting Ling suddenly broke into the room and opened his mouth to shout, but Jia Lan gave him a cold stare and immediately shut his mouth.She stepped forward gently, and after Jia Lan finished wiping Li Wan's face, she hurriedly pulled Jia Lan out of the room.

As soon as he went out, tears fell: "Brother Lan, Second Master Bao has also gone."

Jia Lan froze, and asked in a stiff voice, "What nonsense?"

Ting Ling cried: "How dare you talk nonsense about such things, Brother Lang, go and have a look, the old lady, madam, and the master are about to faint from crying."

Jia Lan ran to Yihong Courtyard without hesitation, in a hurry
