The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Of course, the young man's expression was not abrupt, neither like Baoyu staring at people intently, nor like some disciples who would make people feel uncomfortable when they were stared at.The young man's eyes were more of curiosity and amazement, and when Daiyu looked over, the young man also dodged a bit.

Because Daiyu's reputation and appearance are too outstanding, they have always attracted people's attention.Su Lan and the other girls were shallow-skinned, and they were all a little annoyed by the look. Su Lan said: "Sisters, let's find a place to sit. There are too many people here, and it's not very good to go shopping."

Girls from the Wen family and Yingchun readily agreed.Daiyu, Xiangyu and Tanchun didn't notice anything.Beautiful people are always pleasing to the eye. When she traveled to later generations, Daiyu herself liked to watch the girls competing for beauty in the business district.In fact, as long as it is an appreciative look, there is nothing wrong with it.

Girls who practiced martial arts in Xiang language were naturally generous, and Tanchun was also a hot-tempered person, so she didn't dislike this kind of admiring gaze.

In this kind of banquet, even if the princes and ladies inevitably meet, they just pass by with raglan shoulders, and those who know each other nod to indicate that no one will stop to talk and make friends.

Originally, the two groups were about to leave separately, but Daiyu heard a young man say, "Brother Fan, why are you staring at those girls of the Lin family?"

Daiyu frowned slightly, and winked at Xueyan.

Xueyan understood, so she turned around and turned to another path, in fact, she was going to listen to those boys talking.Daiyu is a lady in the boudoir, a girl from the Shangshu Mansion, it is not natural to stop and listen to the young master, but today the Baolinghou Mansion is full of people coming and going, many maids shuttle, no one cares.

As for Daiyu and his party, only Yingchun is not good at poetry, Jiashan is still young, and the rest are all talented girls.The girls didn't pick up paper and pens either, they just randomly limited one topic and one rhyme, and then began to combine poems casually.Yingchun and Jia Shan could occasionally link up with one or two sentences, and as for the other ladies, they were all quick-witted and eloquent.

Because of the Peony Banquet, Daiyu and his party drew a lot of people's attention by casually combining poems.It is conceivable from this look that Miss Lin not only knows how to compose poems, but also writes poems at her fingertips. The most important thing is that she has a majestic atmosphere, which is not like a boudoir's idle work, but has a bold and unrestrained style.

The ancients did not know Mao's poems, but the girl who can compose poems here today is not taught by a famous teacher and has a lot of experience.All the girls only thought that the poems of the Lin family girls and the two adoptive daughters were good, but they were only regarded as the best works in the boudoir. wind up.

She used to laugh at people for not reading, not knowing how to compose poems, and the girl who was hurting Daiyu in Cheng En Gong's mansion before, but anyone who wanted face felt hot at the moment.

Xiangyun was also honest at today's banquet, and no one else was looking for the Lin sisters.The main reason is that no one dared to do so. Being wiped out by the regiment once in Duke Cheng'en's mansion was considered insufficient preparation. The sisters of the Lin family in Changkang Palace blackmailed the Ninth Prince's Concubine, which caused Concubine Zhong to lose her right to assist the Sixth Palace. Even if the ladies who came to Bowlinghou's Mansion didn't go to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, they had heard about it.

Who would dare to provoke the sisters of the Lin family who can be so troublesome that the empress who is in charge of the sixth palace loses the real power in the palace, and who is so troublesome that the empress of a princess asks the Bodhisattva to pray for blessings at home and does not go out, and she is still unharmed?Anyway, those with brains dare not, and those who dare have been beaten at home.Coupled with the few poems that Daiyu chanted casually recently, ouch, I can't compare with others in words, and I can't match in talent, who is rushing to ask for trouble?

So there really isn't much excitement here at Jiao Ke today.

On the other hand, I heard that at the male guest's side, the Shi family made a big decision at the wine table that Shi Ding would take Mrs. Baolinghou south to recuperate from her illness.

As for the process, it was similar to what Daiyu discussed with Lin Ruhai before.

Like Mrs. Bowling Hou's birthday banquet, because it is a big event, not all male guests can go to the main hall to eat. After all, the main hall can't seat so many people, so those who can enter the main hall are either rich or expensive.

According to Mrs. Baolinghou's previous arrangement, Liu Xing was arranged in the side hall.Of course, in terms of background, there is nothing wrong with this, Liu Xing is just a doctor after all.But after Shi Ding saw the process arrangement, he rejected this and said: "Liu Langzhong is mother's life-saving benefactor, and he has been kind to our whole family. How can we treat a benefactor based on his family background? Look down on him like this I'm sorry, if anyone in our family suffers from three illnesses and two pains in the future, will he still have the face to ask Liu Langzhong?" Shi Ding didn't save his sister-in-law any face.

Mrs. Baolinghou said: "I originally thought about arranging Mr. Liu in the main hall, but there are many distinguished guests in the main hall. If you are particular about it, do you think we are rude if we arrange them to sit at the same table with Mr. Liu?" Does the doctor feel uncomfortable sitting in the main hall?" After all, the world pays attention to status, and most of the time, people with different status sit together, and both parties are embarrassed.

Shi Ding said: "What's so difficult about this? Liu Langzhong has a good relationship with Brother Ru Hai, and Prime Minister Wen is also a man who doesn't judge people based on their background. In addition, there are two brothers from the Ningrong Second Mansion and Zhang Shilang. I am at the same table with them. .Brother entertained other relatives and friends, neither did he neglect his benefactor, and the people at my table would not feel that being at the same table with Liu Langzhong was slighted."

Shi Ding's words were justified, so the matter was settled.

Originally, when Lin Ruhai and his daughter discussed this matter with Liu Xing, they also thought about the issue of seating arrangements. No matter how clever the Lin family's father and daughter were, they couldn't get their hands on the Shijia's banquet arrangements, and found it quite tricky.Unexpectedly, Shi Ding was a sensible person and resolved the matter.

On the day of the banquet, brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding, Prime Minister Wen, the head of the Qingliu, and Zhang Yan, the minister of rites, were all present.No one talked during the meal, and after the meal, the maid served melon and fruit tea, and everyone started chatting.

Since it was Mrs. Baolinghou's birthday banquet, it was natural to talk about Mrs. Mrs. Baolinghou's current condition.Speaking of this, Brother Shi Nai first thanked everyone for their concern, and the Taoist mother was already much better, and so on, and it was only these two days that he contracted the cold again.

At this point in the conversation, everyone naturally wanted to ask Mrs. Baolinghou whether her condition was serious, and Liu Xing had the most right to speak.

I only heard Liu Xing said: "The old lady has not recovered from her illness last time, and her body has not made up for the deficiency, so when external evil invades, it is easy to get sick. If you are young and strong, it is easy to recuperate, but the old lady is already A long life is not as strong as a young man's body, and it is more natural to take care of it.

Although there are medicines for the old lady's disease to treat the symptoms, but as the saying goes, the medicine is three-point poisonous. If the old lady's body is treated with medicine all the year round, it will not be beautiful.If you can move to a warm place in the south, especially in winter, you can often get more sunshine, and then pay attention to your diet, it will be more beneficial than taking soup and medicine. "

Shi Nai knew something was wrong, once he became a nobleman, he couldn't leave the capital without purpose, and let his mother move to the south, wouldn't he be talked about, so Shi Nai said: "Liu Langzhong's medical skills needless to say, since Liu Langzhong It is said that it is suitable for the mother to move to the south. Naturally, it is more beneficial for the mother to go south. But our ancestral home is Jinling, and now there are only a few children from the next family. rest assured?"

Liu Xing came here with a mission, can he tell Shi Nai to leave Mrs. Baoling Hou behind with a few words?So Liu Xing said with a smile: "Marquis Baoling's words are wrong. Although Jinling is also located in the southern province, it is still very cold in winter when it snows. It is not suitable for the old lady to recuperate. If the old lady wants to take care of her body, It’s better to be somewhere warm all the year round. The best place is Qiongzhou Island, and the next best place is Guangdong Sea.”

Prime Minister Wen's prudence is true prudence, and wisdom is also true wisdom.The daughter of the Lin family asked her to recommend to Shi Ding the doctor of Baoqingtang. Now the doctor of Baoqingtang has become the guest of the historian. Location.

In this situation, it is the best choice for old Mrs. Baolinghou to go south with Shi Ding.Even if someone wants to fight for the military power of the Governor of Guangdong, they can't use the lives of the old, the weak, women and children as a bargaining chip.Not to mention the issue of political stance, this method is too low.

Therefore, even if Lin Ruhai and others didn't communicate with Prime Minister Wen beforehand, Prime Minister Wen naturally cooperated with the connection.Just listen to Prime Minister Wen said: "The so-called filial piety is the first, and this filial piety is naturally based on the old lady's body. When Zhong Jinghou goes south to take office, why not take the old lady with him. I think there is a Zhongjinghou who serves his mother. Hou can rest assured."

Before Shi Nai could speak, Zhang Yan nodded and said, "It should be so."

Prime Minister Wen, the head of Qingliu, said so, and the Minister of Rites also said so, so who else can say otherwise?If someone uses etiquette to kidnap Marquis Baoling and accuses him of being unfilial, are you a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and can you understand better than the minister of the Ministry of Rites?In this way, although this matter does not mean that it is settled, at least it eliminates all kinds of difficulties in public opinion. How to arrange it depends on how the Shijia brothers choose.

Shi Ding is such a smart person, although what happened today was just a small talk, how could he solve his worries so cleverly?Shi Ding raised his wine glass to his lips, but his corner of the eye glanced at the faces of Lin Ruhai and Liu Xing seemingly unintentionally.

Shi Ding returned to Beijing not long ago, but he has seen the abilities of the Lin family girl. This girl seems to do everything without aim.Then the Liu Langzhong recommended by Miss Lin suddenly said so, is it really just a coincidence of chatting?

Another thing, Shi Ding thought of his mother's serious condition this time, and also suspected that someone was playing tricks on his mother's condition.When I was in the capital, I naturally didn't have to worry about someone doing it in the future, but what about after I left the capital?After this time, he left his mother in the capital, Shi Ding was not at ease, he just proposed to take his mother away, but his elder brother couldn't let go, now Liu Xing, Prime Minister Wen, Zhang Shilang and others have set up the ladders, Shi Ding Is it still Shi Ding?

So Shi Ding said directly: "Liu Langzhong, my mother's illness is due to Liu Langzhong's skillful hand to rejuvenate. When the banquet is over, can Liu Langzhong ask for my mother's pulse again? If our brothers have discussed taking my mother south to recuperate, we must also Only when my mother has recuperated can she travel far.”

Liu Xing naturally smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Baolinghou's whole birthday is a big event. Apart from the honored guests inside being entertained on the day of the birthday banquet, there is also a running water table outside, where ordinary people can come and eat if they say a few auspicious words, and it is held for three days.

But the VIPs were going to leave. After the banquet was withdrawn, many relatives and friends offered to leave one after another.The Lin family also left, because Xiangyu had classes with the Lin family girl in the morning and taught Daiyu some martial arts in the afternoon, so Jia Min simply invited Mrs. Liu and Xiangyu to the Lin family.

Mrs. Liu was not interested in staying at Bowlinghou's Mansion, so she sent her little maid to tell Liu Xing, and she readily agreed.

Liu Xing stayed alone in the Marquis Bowling's Mansion, sitting in the upper room drinking tea, waiting for the Shijia brothers to see off the guests first, and he was not in a hurry.

After Shi Nai and Shi Ding sent all the guests away, Shi Ding invited his brother-in-law and Liu Xing all the way to the study room, and sent the cronies he brought back from Guangdong Sea to keep them away from anyone, before asking Liu Xing "Liu Langzhong, what is the secret behind my mother's illness? Please tell me the truth, Liu Langzhong, and don't keep us brothers in the dark. Shi is very grateful."

Liu Xing sighed and said, "Today I stayed here just to take the pulse of the old lady, and I didn't say what happened next, neither did the two Marquis and Madam."

Shi Nai and his wife looked at each other, they were always inferior to Shi Ding, but they were not stupid, seeing Liu Xing speak so cautiously, they knew something was wrong.Busy nodded and promised never to spread the word.

Only then did Liu Xing continue: "This kind of thing is groundless, and spreading it is not beneficial to anyone. I trust the two Hou Ye and his wife, and I ask Hou Ye and his wife to think about it for Liu's family. I'm just an ordinary doctor, and there are some people I can't afford to offend." After finishing the opening remarks, he finally said that Mrs. Baolinghou's condition had worsened.

How should I put it, such a thing, even if others hear it, they will be very angry, not to mention that Shi Nai and Shi Ding are the direct sons of Mrs. Baolinghou.Mrs. Baolinghou is a daughter-in-law, separated from her mother-in-law, but this is not just a matter of her life, but the future of her husband and son. How much delay has Ding Shouxiao, a man of the family, delayed his official career?Even the girls who have reached the age also delay talking about marriage.

Although there were only four people in the study, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.Especially when Shi Ding fought on the battlefield. At this time, his face and hands were pinched tightly, the veins in his hands burst out, his face was so cold that it was about to drop ice, and there was a murderous look in the small study.

Shi Nai was also so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "It's unreasonable! For a little bit of power, he is so despicable and lowly. Such a person should stay away as soon as possible. From then on, the historian and this man are incompatible!" As a member of the imperial family, Shi Nai didn't dare to call his name directly and say anything incompatible. No matter how angry he was, he could only make a hand gesture instead.

Although Shi Ding was also very angry, but a person who can lead an army to win a battle, the more he encounters an angry situation, the more he will remind himself to stay calm.Shi Ding asked Liu Xingdao: "Mr. Liu, if my mother's sealed acupuncture points have not been dispersed in time, and the condition continues to worsen, how should I treat it?"

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "There is almost no cure, but according to the usual practice of medicine, you will use high-quality ginseng ginseng soup to hang it. Whether you can break through the difficulty depends on good fortune. Ordinary people use this method. It is risky, and the movement of the tendons is blocked. If a stagnant person uses this method, it is almost equivalent to giving away his life for nothing."

Shi Ding sneered and said: "Good trick, if my mother uses the medicinal materials sent by my aunt, there will be troubles, plus the friction between Xiangyun and Miss Lin before, and if someone provokes, will our brothers still hate the Lin family? "

Liu Xing was expressionless, but Mrs. Bao Linghou's face flashed a trace of embarrassment.Because Xiangyun suffered a disadvantage from the Lin family's girl, which brought down the reputation of her own daughter, she is indeed prejudiced against the Lin family.This man, once prejudiced, often loses his reason.

After the truth came to light, Shi Ding asked again: "May I ask Langzhong Liu, it is better for my mother to move to a place with a warmer climate to recuperate than to use medicine. Is it Liu Langzhong's excuse or is it serious?"

Liu Xing smiled and said, "It's absolutely true."

Shi Ding understood, now that the last trace of pressure from public opinion was gone, even if the imperial doctor came, he had to admit that Mrs. Baoling Hou was suitable for recuperating in the south.

As for the last question, Shi Ding asked: "Although there are famous doctors in Guangdong, my mother was rescued by Dr. Liu with all her strength, and she was able to turn the crisis into safety. I went to Guangdong, thousands of miles away from Beijing. If my mother feels unwell again, I will Where can I find a trusted doctor?"

Liu Xing said with a smile: "After the old lady moved to Guangdong, as long as she worked hard on diet and rest, she didn't need to take medicine all the year round. If Lord Hou is really worried, you can go to Baoqing Hall in Yangzhou and ask if my junior brother is willing to follow Lord Hou. Apprentices who went to Guangdong. All the apprentices of Baoqingtang know how to prepare food."

Back then, Liu Xing's father took some orphans as apprentices in order to visit Liu Bing and do good deeds.Those with poor qualifications stayed in the medical hall as handymen, and those with good qualifications taught medical skills, and quite a few became teachers.Later Liu Xing took over the medical center and also took in such disciples, quite a few clever ones.

It's just that when Liu Xing came to the capital, he said that he was treating the old lady of Li Guogong's mansion, but in fact, he silently escorted Su Lan to the capital, so the manpower he brought was limited. Now that the reputation of Baoqingtang in the capital is getting better, the manpower is insufficient .Another one, after all, Liu Xing is now in the capital, and the Ninth Prince's Mansion has not collapsed yet, and Liu Xing is not doing well, and he is treating the old Mrs. Baolinghou and giving Shi Ding staff.Therefore, it is up to Shi Ding himself whether to hire an apprentice from the Liu family.

At this point in Liu Xing's words, the Shijia brothers had to discuss the rest, so they left, and went to the Lin's house to pick up Mrs. Liu, and brought the Shijia's words with them.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai and his daughter thanked Liu Xing again.

The rest of the debate has nothing to do with the Lin family, and Daiyu has no intention of inquiring about it.Of course, since meeting Shi Ding for the first time and knowing Shi Ding's wisdom, Daiyu felt that the historian would not leave any chance for Changkang Palace if she passed the ladder to this level.

It was a small incident at today's banquet, after all the cooking was done at home, Daiyu had time to ask Xueyan quietly.

When I was at Shijia today, Daiyu and her party met a group of young sons.Of course, all the girls in Daiyu's party are dazzling, and with the reputation of Lin's daughter, it is not surprising that some people looked at Daiyu more often, but one of them stared at Daiyu especially, which caught Daiyu's attention, so she sent Xueyan to inquire about.

Xueyan is the girl who has been with Daiyu since she was a child. She can read and write in one place, so she is naturally clever.Later, after Daiyu was reborn, thinking of all the things in her previous life, she took extra care of Xueyan and reminded her of many reasons in private.Just such a maid, even though she is not a few years older than Daiyu, she is also a very stable girl.

Xueyan didn't find anyone to directly ask about the background of the young master, she is Miss Lin's servant girl, if there are gossip about Miss Lin inquiring about Mr. Qingjun, it's fine.Xueyan just pretended to be doing business and listened to the young master of the line before returning, so that she had time to learn the words of the young man of the line to Daiyu.

There is no need to repeat the details, but Daiyu soon understood.

Staring at himself, the young man's surname was Fan, and the surname of most of the people who walked with him was Zhong.As for the dialogue, it is nothing more than that this line is Lin's daughter, and guessing that the youngest is Daiyu, and then there is some dispute when guessing who is Su Lan and who is Yinglian.

The Lin family is not like the Rongguo Mansion, they don't ask the servants to talk about everything about the master.Even the history of Yinglian being abducted and sold, the Lin family would not let it be mentioned easily, let alone spread the appearance and characteristics of the girls of the Lin family.The young masters of the Zhong family only knew that the Lin family had two adopted daughters, one of whom had a face of a saint, but they couldn't recognize them in detail.

It was the young man surnamed Fan, and Daiyu quickly guessed why he was staring at her.

At the Peony Banquet before, someone deliberately damaged her reputation, and Daiyu had guessed whether someone had made up her mind about her marriage; then that Mr. Fan should be Fan Jin, Fan Guangxi's second son. , has passed the child birth test, and has achieved fame.

But this has nothing to do with Daiyu, thanks to the Peony Banquet and the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet for carrying the sedan chair for her, now it is impossible for Fan Jin to have anything to do with him.To Daiyu's surprise, Fan Jin knew about this, otherwise he wouldn't have stared at her.

Old Mrs. Baoling Hou had to take care of her body because she was going to travel far away, so Liu Xing was quite troubled these days.

However, since Shi Ding is back, he will naturally celebrate the New Year in the capital, and he will go south after the beginning of spring, so he will have time for Mrs. Baolinghou to take care of her health.

Before going to bed, the members of the Lin family summarized the many things involved in the position of Governor of Guangdong and Hai as usual.Lin Ruhai and his wife took the opportunity to tell Su Lan and Yinglian sisters that it is necessary to be defensive.As for Daiyu, the husband and wife felt that they were no longer able to give Daiyu any guidance in these areas.

Jia Min also said to Lin You: "The Zhen family also attacked Brother Yu back then. If your sister hadn't rescued you in time, I wouldn't know what it would have been like. Brother Yu will grow up in the future, so he must protect his sister well."

Lin You has memories of falling into the water. In addition, his parents have often mentioned it in recent years, and they have almost educated Lin You into a sister-in-law.Lin You nodded yes, and the little child made an assurance like an adult.

My family was talking together, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed, Daiyu suddenly said: "Oh no!"
