The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Shi Ding clasped his fists and said, "Miss Lin is definitely not troubled. Today, my mother's condition has eased. Shi is very grateful."

Daiyu smiled slightly: "That's because Marquis Zhongjing has the guts to use the doctor I recommended; the old lady is lucky, and this condition should be safe."

Daiyu didn't take any credit for her words, but Shi Ding would not pretend to be confused about this.Shi Ding sighed, and said: "I have been away from Beijing for many years, and I don't know much about the affairs of the capital. But I also know where my title and salary come from, and my position can still be guaranteed."

Shi Ding was expressing his position, but Daiyu didn't take credit for this matter, she just said: "Marquis Zhongjing is very knowledgeable, I think he is not someone who can be easily influenced by others, and our family has no such intention. But if Someone wants to frame my grandmother, but I cannot agree. As I said, Marquis Zhongjing need not thank me."

Shi Ding was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought of what Daiyu meant.Then Shi Ding asked: "Miss Lin, isn't she afraid that I might suspect that she is calling for a thief? Do you want to be kind to me?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "I am a boudoir daughter, what qualifications do I have to show kindness to Lord Hou? I am not qualified, and there is no woman in the world who is qualified to do so." Even Concubine Zhong, isn't she also a concubine?Your honor status today is all given by the imperial court.Don't be grateful to the wrong person just because someone said a few good words for you back then.

If Shi Ding couldn't understand this, he wouldn't be Shi Ding, but it was the first time Shi Ding met a little girl who could speak to people's hearts.The deep eyes stared at Daiyu's small face like a falcon for a while, then smiled at Lin Ruhai: "Brother Lin, it is your daughter who beat you."

Lin Ruhai smiled gracefully and said, "The blue comes from the blue, the Lin family is lucky."

Who said no?No matter which family has such an outstanding junior, it is a blessing for the family.It's a pity that most people, regardless of their family background, are just ordinary people in terms of aptitude, which Lin Daiyu doesn't often have.

After Shi Ding left, Lin Ruhai, father and daughter, talked about Shi Ding's visit, and Lin Ruhai asked Daiyu, "Why does Yu'er want to see Shi Ding in person? If you don't want to see him, it's okay for my father to block it for you."

Daiyu said: "Little concubine Zhong has already suspected me, and Prime Minister Wen has also seen that what I do is not limited to the boudoir, so there is no need to keep Shi Ding from it. Moreover, Shi Dinglai's post mentioned that he would visit his father and I, after meeting my father, asked to see me alone. It can be seen that Shi Ding also saw that I played a role in many things. As I said, we need to let Shi Ding see with his own eyes who is worth following. It's better to be frank."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Since Yu'er said that this move is to prevent his mother-in-law from being framed, Shi Ding can naturally understand the reason. It has already been decided how he chooses." Which smart person would follow a person who uses tricks Woolen cloth?What's more, Shi Ding is not an ordinary smart person.

As Lin Ruhai said, Shi Ding knew that Daiyu specifically mentioned not letting Jia's mother be framed, so he immediately thought that his mother's illness was artificial.Combined with the attitudes of all parties at the Great Court Conference towards him, it is self-evident that who doesn't want his mother to recover and he can go south to resume his post.

On the second day after returning from Lin's house, after Liu Xing administered needles to Mrs. Baolinghou, Shi Ding left Liu Xing alone, and then retreated from the servants and asked, "Mr. Liu, is there anything wrong with my mother's illness?"

It is Liu Xing's duty to cure diseases and save lives, but he has to be careful whether he gets involved in the battle for military power in Guangdong.This is no longer a question of whether his medical clinic can continue to open, but a question of the future of the family.For example, the government of Liguo who is giving him asylum now, such as Liu Zheng who is the magistrate in Songjiang.

So Liu Xing said: "I have been seeing the old lady for two days, and I haven't seen anything wrong yet. The acupuncture is a fluke and it works, it's the old lady's luck, Liu dare not take credit for it."

Shi Ding was not a person to be deceived, he could see something was wrong just from Liu Xing's meal, but Shi Ding also knew that it was good for a doctor to do his job well, and there was no need to get involved in this kind of political struggle.So he didn't force it anymore, handed over a box and said: "Liu Langzhong help me to see if there is anything wrong with this?"

Liu Xing opened the brocade box and looked, inside was a top-grade century-old mountain ginseng.This is what the little concubine Zhong gave to Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yuanchun brought it to Jia's mother, and Jia's mother sent it to Baolinghou's mansion.

Liu Xing took out ginseng and smelled it up to his nose, said: "This ginseng is very good in appearance, extremely rare, and it is the best medicinal material. Forgive Liu's blind eyes, I didn't see anything wrong, if Master Hou is suspicious, you might as well cut a small piece Ginseng whiskers, after boiling water, use live mice to test the medicine."

It was only the third day that Liu Xing treated old Mrs. Baolinghou's illness. With the help of decoction and acupuncture, Mrs. Mrs. Baolinghou's condition has improved, so Shi Ding can trust Lao Liuxing's medical skills.Since Liu Xing said that there is nothing wrong with ginseng, naturally there is no problem.But why did the girl from the Lin family say that someone was going to frame her grandmother.Daiyu's maternal grandmother was Shi Ding's aunt Jiamu.

So Shi Ding asked again: "Then this ginseng is suitable for my mother to take?"

Liu Xing's expression changed slightly again.Before he saw this ginseng, and then contacted Mrs. Baolinghou's condition, he had a faint feeling. Now that Zhongjinghou asked this question, Liu Xing also said truthfully: "This ginseng has strong medicinal properties and is suitable for healthy people. It is good for the elderly to prolong their life, or for young and middle-aged people with severe trauma to make up their bodies urgently. In addition, it is to give a sigh of relief to the critically ill. If the old lady recovers, she can occasionally use ginseng decoction to gradually strengthen her physique. If you have to use this ginseng when you are in danger, you will probably not be able to bear it."

When Liu Xing mentioned this level, Shi Ding understood.Originally, he doubted whether his mother's illness was tampered with, but with Liu Xing's words, Shi Ding was almost certain.However, he only knew some simple trauma treatment methods, and knew nothing about other medical theories, nor did he know what methods the other party used.But in any case, killing his mother's life in order to seize his official position, the hatred is forged.

Shi Ding asked again: "The mother's body is seriously ill, can it be cured?"

Liu Xing still answered truthfully: "Madam's illness has been delayed for a long time, her body is very weak, and it will take time to recuperate. But if she takes good care of her and supplements with diet in the future, it should be fine."

After hearing this, Shi Ding felt relieved, paid the consultation fee, and asked Liu Xing some precautions that Mrs. Baoling Hou needed to recuperate, before sending Liu Xing out.

Now Jia Min's condition is stable, and the previous two-day consultation has been changed to five-day consultation. Today is the time to give Jia Min a consultation. Liu Xing still presumes that Lin Ruhai will be in office before he goes. Lin.

Jia Min's condition is already very stable, Liu Xing left a prescription for Jia Min after diagnosis and treatment, and asked Lin Ruhai: "Is Master Lin free?"

Lin Ruhai knew that Liu Xing had something to say, so he took Daiyu and invited Liu Xing into the study together.

Liu Xing was used to the Lin family not hiding anything from the girl who was in charge of the house, and he didn't mean to avoid Daiyu either.After Lin Ruhaiping retreated from his servants, Liu Xing said: "Old Mrs. Baolinghou has a problem with his condition, and Zhongjinghou seems to have noticed it, but when he asked me, I didn't say it clearly. Master Lin thinks I can tell him the truth. ?”

Lin Ruhai said: "Because the matter is very involved, I think it is not appropriate to tell Bao Linghou too early, so as not to implicate Brother Liu. But whether to tell or not, it is up to Brother Liu to make his own decision. If Brother Liu asks for my suggestion, I will I think we can only inform Hou Baoling before he leaves Beijing."

Liu Xing is also a smart person, so he immediately understood, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, Mr. Lin is wise." Of course he is wise, if he doesn't tell now, he won't cause trouble for himself, he is just a doctor who heals and saves people; Tell Shi Ding, and Shi Ding will know how despicable and shameful the person behind it is, and his position will only become firmer in the future.

Daiyu raised her head and asked Liu Xing, "Uncle Liu, have you seen the medicinal materials that my grandmother sent to the Shijia, do you have any questions?"

Liu Xingdao: "I'm just going to tell you this. Today Zhong Jinghou showed me a top-quality ginseng, which must be hundreds of years old, very rare, and the ginseng has not been tampered with. But maybe someone lent it to the old man. When Mrs. Bowling Hou massaged, she deliberately used Anjin to add acupuncture points. After the massage, the old lady would feel a little looser, but after several hours of blood circulation, it would lead to stagnation of Qi and blood.

The old lady was already sick, and she was getting old, and her meridians were blocked, so her condition got worse.If she hadn't cleared the passage for her, and opened the channels for the blood flow, the old lady's body would definitely not be able to take the ginseng with such strong medicinal properties. "

Thinking that Lin Ruhai's father and daughter were not medical students, Liu Xing changed his explanation, saying, "It's like a fragile water pipe, the middle has been narrowed, and only a small amount of water can pass through it, but suddenly a large amount of water is poured into it. Of course, the fragile pipe walls cannot bear the water.”

Lin Ruhai's face was as cold as ice, and he said: "The Changkang Palace really does everything they can. But the idea is really vicious. If they succeed, not only can Shi Guangzhu successfully take over the post of Governor of Guangdong and Sea, but also If you provoke a family of historians to hate the Rongguo Mansion, don't you just go to the Ninth Prince's side?"

Liu Xing said with a smile: "Since they didn't succeed, Marquis Zhongjing will definitely know what to do when he knows the truth."

That's natural, in fact there is no need for Liu Xing to tell Shi Ding the truth, he has almost guessed it, and already knew what to do.

After Liu Xing left, Daiyu and Lin Ruhai talked about it, and Daiyu sighed: "It's the end of the year, let's pack up some good medicinal materials and send them to grandma during the New Year's Eve."

Lin Ruhai sighed, "Alright."

It was a good state mansion, and now it has become like this.Although it was still the mansion of a Duke's wife and a first-class general, after it fell apart, there were fewer people who approached to curry favor, and Mother Jia could not receive a few good gifts throughout the year.Many of the medicinal materials collected in the past were rotten or lost their medicinal properties, so Yuan Chun brought good medicinal materials to Jiamu, and Jiamu sent them directly to her natal family.

Of course, as the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, the Lin family has exhausted the rituals of three festivals and two longevity even after the Wang family is cleaned up.However, the Jiangning weaving Zhen family of Rongguo Mansion's old man was defeated, and Jia's mother had fewer chances to get useful items. Mother Jia's age and status were given as presents, and because Mother Jia was in good health, Daiyu felt that the medicines that were given away in good condition were spoiled, and the meaning was not good, so there were not many gifts in this regard.

Now because of this, Jia's mother is almost being plotted against, so Daiyu naturally wants to make up for this.

Ask Lin Ruhai to say that there is nothing to say about the girl's magnanimity. If you change your mind and encounter such a situation, you only need to be polite on the surface. Tanchun who is willing to support Jia's second wife.

Daiyu felt that it was nothing. Although her grandmother in the previous life couldn't protect her, she loved her a little bit, and she should be filial to her.As for the Wang family, since he has received retribution, there is no need for him to live in hatred.

Ever since Liu Xing treated old Mrs. Baoling Hou, Shi Ding advocated stopping the appointment and then asking the imperial physician, and let Liu Xing treat his mother alone.Shi Nai originally disagreed, thinking that no matter how good the folk doctor's skills are, they can surpass all the imperial doctors.But Shi Ding insisted, and the old Mrs. Baolinghou's condition did improve, so Shi Nai let Shi Ding take care of his mother's condition, and his husband and wife made arrangements to celebrate Mrs. Baolinghou's birthday.

Liu Xing administered acupuncture to Mrs. Baolinghou for seven days in a row, then slowed down the pace of acupuncture, and changed it to once every three days, and Mrs. Baolinghou was gradually able to go to the ground.

When little Concubine Zhong heard this news, she secretly felt resentful, while the Ninth Prince became a little annoyed: "Mother Concubine, no matter how clever our strategy is, how can we always make that side come to the front? The one named Liu is just from the south of the Yangtze River." How can a doctor be so capable to cure the old lady of the Shi family! Now the Shi family is completely divorced from our family."

To be honest, Concubine Zhong couldn't figure out how to solve the Ninth Prince's questions: "There are only two explanations. Either there are heaven and earth outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky, and that girl from the Lin family is indeed superior, and everything is ahead of us; or As Shui Lan said, the girl of the Lin family has a strange upper body, she can pinch and count."

Hearing this, the Ninth Prince became angry: "If it's the latter, don't we have no chance of winning if we don't get rid of this Lin girl? No, even after entering Beijing, the Lin family girl went to the Muni Courtyard outside the north gate to burn incense. Muni Courtyard It is also famous in the capital, it is said to be extremely efficacious, and the incense is also strong. If the girl of the Lin family has a strange upper body, how dare she go to such a place?"

To be honest, Concubine Zhong didn't believe in ghosts, she said: "The cheapest way to keep Shi Ding is to make him keep his filial piety. It was not so unexpected. If we can predict it, the other party can naturally do it too." If you lose this game, you will lose. I don’t believe that the loss of one Shi Ding can hinder our success in achieving supremacy. We can succeed in Shuilanmeng, and we can succeed in the future. Besides, Mrs. Bowling Hou is at this age Now, in the future, someone will leave with three illnesses and two pains, and it is only normal for birth, old age, illness and death, so can Shi Ding still guard him for the rest of his life and not go south to work?"

They have come to this point, even if they are hit one after another, Concubine Zhong's mother and son have no way of turning back, Concubine Zhong always needs to find some support for herself.

And no matter how confident Changkang Palace was, Shi Ding guarded Baolinghou's mansion so that no fly could fly in, and old Mrs. Baolinghou gradually got better.Although after a serious illness, the number of people has decreased a lot, but according to Liu Xing's words, there is no serious problem, and it will be a matter of maintenance and conditioning in the future.

The [-]th birthday was supposed to be a big event, but after Mrs. Baoling Hou fell ill, it was even more important to do it grandly just for the sake of celebration.

After Shi Ding took over the responsibility of serving his mother, Shi Nai and his wife concentrated on preparing the banquet and became more careful.From the dishes of the banquet to the cups, plates and bowls, and the clothes of the maids, everything is carefully checked.Even the invitations sent out were written by the two Shi Nai brothers in their own handwriting, and they were checked several times before they were sent out.

This time, Prime Minister Wen's Mansion, Lin Family, Ningrong Second Mansion, Minister of Rites Zhang's Family, and Liu Family all received invitations from the historian.Of course, as the historian's in-laws, Cheng Engong's mansion is also coming.Here I want to explain that the Liu family of the Duke of Li and the historian of the Marquis of Baoling have always been in contact. It is not surprising that Liu Fang, the direct descendant of the Duke of Li, received the invitation from the historian, but this time Shi Ding also invited Liu Xing.

When Shi Nai and his wife checked the invitation, they also asked: "It's nothing to invite the Minister of the Household Department. Our old aunt is still Lin Shangshu's mother-in-law, and she is going around and around. It's just that the girl of the Lin family lost our girl." Such a big face, and now her reputation has dropped a lot, is it really appropriate to invite them to their house? I'm really afraid that if that Lin girl is aggressive again, something will happen to her."

Shi Ding didn't tell his brother and sister-in-law that it was Miss Lin's idea to recommend Liu Xing, he just said: "How many people in Beijing know that I have visited Mrs. Lin, and it would be wrong if I didn't invite you. Besides, after I returned to Beijing, I understood my intentions. stand, and will no longer sway left and right."

Shi Nai had to admit that his brother was better than himself in every aspect, so he didn't insist.

Let’s say that when the Lin family received the invitation, Daiyu told Lin Ruhai: “If you want to get rid of Zhong Jinghou’s worries, you have to find a way to get Mrs. Baolinghou to go to Guangdong. I always feel that Baolinghou and his wife are gone. You have to protect her."

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "Isn't this difficult? After all, Marquis Baoling is also the eldest son, and he has taken over the title of his ancestor. If Mrs. Marquis Baoling went south, wouldn't the Marquis Baoling and his wife make people poke their backs?"

Daiyu said: "It's not that difficult. Isn't Mrs. Baolinghou going to celebrate her birthday? And according to sister Xiangyu, she also invited their family. As long as at the birthday banquet, the topic is Mrs. Baolinghou's Let Uncle Liu say in public that Mrs. Baolinghou is getting older, the winter in Beijing is long, which is not good for maintenance, and the climate in Guangdong and Hai is warm, which is more suitable for Mrs. Baolinghou, which is good for her recovery. For the sake of filial piety, Baobao The Linghou couple may not refuse."

Lin Ruhai's eyes widened. If it was said that her own daughter had always acted aboveboard, but when dealing with vicious villains, Daiyu also had her own way to restrain her to death.

The loss of this method is to speak out in public.What can you tell Shi Nai and his wife to do?If you don't agree, if you don't agree, you will regard your own face as more important than your mother's life. Is this filial piety or unfilial piety?

Lin Ruhai shook his head lightly, but the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, full of smiles: "Yu'er, if you really make a move, you won't give the opponent any room to change. Whoever is your opponent is really blind."

Daiyu smiled, and stopped responding to her father's joke, but said: "Uncle Liu will tell the truth about Mrs. Baolinghou's serious illness in private, and even Shi Nai will agree if he knows the truth. The Shi family brothers are all at this age. Once they keep their filial piety, who knows if they will be able to wait for a good time. Shi Ding is so capable, and even if he is watched by the governor of Guangdong and Hai, Shi Nai is not as good as Shi Ding, and he is even more afraid of this. .

Under normal circumstances, Shi Nai would not allow it, just because he was afraid of being talked about.As long as the matter is discussed at the old Mrs. Baolinghou's birthday banquet, and Baolinghou has a step down, the matter will be settled. "

Later, when Lin Ruhai and Liu Xing discussed this matter, Liu Xing said in surprise: "The climate in the south is warm and humid, which is indeed good for Mrs. Baolinghou's illness. It turns out that Master Lin is also proficient in medical theory?"

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "I don't have that ability, but I just wanted to reunite Zhongjinghou's mother and son to show his filial piety."

Liu Xing quickly understood and readily agreed.

Old Mrs. Baolinghou's birthday was in the twelfth lunar month, and because of the cold weather, even though the house used high-quality silver frost charcoal, Mrs. Mrs. Baolinghou still caught the wind and cold again.In addition, the original illness has not been cured, and it is a little sick.

When Mrs. Baolinghou received female guests, except for those who were very close to the historians, she asked everyone to go to the old Mrs. Baolinghou's yard to salute, which was regarded as a birthday celebration.Because it is important for the old lady to recover from her illness, all the female guests did not feel that the Shi family was rude.

Because the historian also invited Liu Xing, the girls of the Lin family first found Xiangyu to speak together after they came out to salute.Daiyu glanced at it, and this time the girl entertained by the Shijia has been replaced by a girl from Baolinghou's knee, and Xiangyun is assisting from the side.

Seeing Daiyu, Xiangyun snorted coldly, he didn't do anything, presumably he was beaten by Mrs. Baolinghou.

Daiyu sighed in her heart, pretending she didn't see it.If it is said that Xiangyun is quick-witted and able to write good poems, he is naturally a smart person. For some reason, he refuses to pay attention to human relationships and sophistication, so that he loses his temper.

This time the girls from the Lin family didn't encounter any trouble, but in Xiang Yun's view, the girls from the Lin family caused trouble when they came.Today, distinguished guests from the historians greeted the door, only a few girls from the Lin family, including Liu Xiangyu, were as dazzling as the moon among the stars, and it was an eyesore to look at.

Naturally, Daiyu could see that Xiangyun's eyes were not friendly, but she told Daiyu that there was really nothing to dispute about the length of the boudoir. If there were people in the historian who understood, at least Shi Ding would be grateful to her.So I went to the garden with my sisters.

Since the Ningrong Second Mansion was invited, the girls from the Jia family also came, and the Prime Minister Wen's mansion was invited, and the girls from the Wen family also came.Needless to say, girls from the Wen family can get along with sisters Daiyu. The girls from the Jia family, Yingchun and Tanchun, are grateful to Daiyu. It's a guest, and there are many ladies playing in one place.

Generally speaking, the hall where the young masters and young masters talk is not in the same room, but because there are so many guests in the Bowling Marquis Mansion today, it is inevitable to meet them when visiting the garden.Of course, as long as it's not a private meeting, it's not too polite.

Daiyu and her party wandered around for a while, then they met a group of young gentlemen, among them a boy about twelve or thirteen years old looked at her several times.
