Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Even though Mo Zongliang was fully confident, he finally decided on the prescription after he felt Daiyu's pulse the next day.

He wrote down the recipe, looked at Daiyu, and sighed again: "Girl Lin, with your diet and rest, it's not easy to take care of your body after all."

Daiyu never said it, but Chongyu was able to tell in the study last night how her sister couldn't sleep at night, and how she only ate five out of ten meals after getting used to living in Rongguo Mansion.

How could Daiyu not know the root cause of Mo Zongliang's words?Just stare at Chongyu twice.Chongyu just laughed.

Mo Zongliang prescribed a prescription, and his servants from the Lin family went to dispense the medicine for Daiyu.

No one else came to invite Lin Ruhai to the mansion today, so Lin Ruhai took his two children to the Temple of Medicine that Chongyu mentioned.

The Temple of Medicine is just a dilapidated temple, but the ancient trees outside the temple are towering. In the cold winter months, there are only bare branches and intertwined roots, only a small half, completely enclosing the Temple of Medicine under the branches.

The gate wall of the Temple of Medicine collapsed, and there was only a large hall inside, and there was a small room next to the hall.

Lin Ruhai and others advanced into the main hall, with a statue in the center of their fingertips, presumably it must be the God of Medicine.This statue is only made of clay, but it looks very charming, like a fairy standing with a smile.There are some incense sticks in the censer under the statue, and two cups of water are served beside the censer.

Lin Ruhai was also a little helpless.Traditionally, incense is sold in temples and nunneries, but when pilgrims come, they should not bring their own incense.

Chongyu had no intention of hearing the news about the Temple of Medicine before, and he didn't know much about it. He only thought that the Temple of Medicine, which is so godlike, should maintain the incense in the temple no matter how few people came. How could he have imagined that it had fallen So far?

Now that they came here, they wanted to offer incense sticks, but they couldn't find any.

The Temple of Medicine is located in a remote location, and even the nearest village has to be reached by a long distance.Now the days are short and the nights are long, so it is not easy to rush back to the city.

Thinking of the incense sticks in the incense burner and the hut next to the main hall, Lin Ruhai went to see if there were people living in the hut, and whether there was any incense for sale in the hut.

The result was not what he expected.The door of the hut has never been closed, and the room is empty, only a thick quilt is barely passable.It can be seen that someone lives in this house, but the person who lives here is not here at this time.

Back to the main hall, waited for a while, but still couldn't wait for the people in the temple to come back.Lin Ruhai looked at the two cups of clear water under the statue and made up his mind.

He said: "Since we came here today and didn't bring incense, we just offer some water. I think the gods have spirits, and they can perceive our sincerity, and they will protect Dai girl."

Before he entered the main hall, he noticed that there was a well in the small courtyard outside the main hall, and there were tools for fetching water beside the well.

Mo Zongliang and others who came with him also knew that he must do it himself to show his sincerity, so they didn't fight with him and let him serve the water.

Not to be outdone, Chongyu went to the well to fetch water after Lin Ruhai finished fetching it, and then offered it to the incense burner.

Daiyu watched, determined to do like her father and younger brothers, but she was weak by nature, who would dare to let her go to the well to fetch water?But let her use the water brought up by Chongyu to add to the cup next to the incense burner.

Going out today is only to come to the Temple of Medicine.Now that the matter was over, Lin Ruhai and his party went back to the city without delay.

After they left, there was an old man in the forest behind the temple, carrying a load of firewood, and walked slowly back to the temple.

When the old man entered the temple, there seemed to be a flash of light in his cloudy eyes, and then disappeared quickly.He unloaded the firewood from his shoulders, looked around, and entered the hut again, where he saw the taels of silver on the table.

He picked up the taels of silver, estimated the weight, then put it down, and didn't put it away much, just as usual, he made a fire and cooked by himself, and he didn't take it seriously that someone came today and left him money thing.

But after Daiyu's family returned to the Lin residence, Xu Zhong's family came to report to Daiyu.It turned out that not long after their family went out today, the Marquis Bowling's Mansion sent a post to invite Daiyu to the mansion as a guest.This invitation was sent from the inner courtyard, and it was a female guest.Daiyu is the only mistress in Lin's house now, so the post will naturally be handed over to Daiyu.

Daiyu looked at the post carefully again, and became more and more puzzled.The Bowling Marquis Mansion did not invite her alone, but invited the three girls from the Jia family and Baochai from the Xue family, which was specifically stated in the post.

As for Daiyu's usual contacts with Bowlinghou's Mansion, it's just that when Mother Jia brought Shi Xiangyun, who lives in Bowlinghou's Mansion, to Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu and Xiangyun played and lived together, and the two had some contacts. That's all.Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion these days, and had visited other people's homes with Jia Mu or Mrs. Wang, but had never been to the historian.

Daiyu originally suspected that Xiangyun asked her aunt to post this post, but after thinking about it, thinking about Xiangyun's usual behavior, she dismissed this idea.

When Xu Zhong's family handed over the post to Daiyu, they never avoided the master and the young master, so Lin Ruhai and Lin Chongyu also knew about it and were still watching.

Chongyu saw that Daiyu looked a bit embarrassed, so he smiled and stretched out his hand, and took the post from Daiyu's hand. After a brief look, he understood it, and handed the post to Lin Ruhai, saying: "Daddy, look, Is this your trouble?"

Lin Ruhai took the post and read it, frowned, and said, "This Bowling Marquis has some skills. After living for so many years, his eyesight is getting better and better."

The current Bowling Marquis Shi Nai is of the same generation as Jia She and Jia Zheng, but he is older than both of them. Shi Nai was originally Shi Xiangyun's second uncle. Shi Xiangyun's parents have been married for many years and have no children for a long time. Both nephews and nieces were born. Shi Xiangyun was the only one born to his husband and wife.Due to misfortune and deception, Shi Xiangyun's mother died of dystocia, and Shi Xiangyun's father also died of illness.Thanks to the emperor's mercy, he let the second uncle Shi Xiangyun inherit the title and still be the Marquis of Baoling.

Lin Ruhai also grew up in the capital back then, so he knew very well the past personnel affairs in Beijing, especially the affairs of these hereditary princes' families, and because of his teacher's affairs back then, he knew everything about it.

Although Shi Nai is also the eldest brother, but there is only one year difference between him and his elder brother, and because everyone only pays attention to his elder brother, he has been under the shadow of his elder brother all year round, and few people can remember him.

But instead of sinking because of this, he worked harder secretly, and sometimes his level of perceptual observation was far better than that of his elder brother.After the death of his eldest brother, he was not in a hurry to make any achievements, but devoted himself to running the family business.

Shi Nai used to be the second-in-law son who was not valued by others, but now he is in charge of the historian, so he doesn't care as much about fame as in the past.Although the external communication still maintains the decency that the Marquis Mansion should have, but secretly it has reduced expenses more and more, and only concentrates on disciplining the children of the family. The children of the Xu family spend money on their studies, but they don't give them any pocket money.

Shi Nai Yifang has been doing this for many years, only after the death of his eldest brother, Shi Nai became the head of the family, so that he could promote his own practice to the whole family, and some people in the clan began to follow suit.Although some people who are accustomed to extravagance complain a lot, and there are often complaints to the outside world, but the historian does manage well.

Lin Ruhai didn't have much contact with Shi Nai in the past, and when he returned to Beijing this time, outsiders didn't know what His Majesty's intentions were, and most of them only dared to wait and see, and didn't dare to have any contact with him.But today Shi Nai wants to show his love to the Lin family.

Mrs. Shi Nai's post to Daiyu is obviously to invite Daiyu, but also to make Xiangyun and the sisters have fun, but it actually represents Shi Nai's intention to make friends with Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai believed that the most likely reason for Shi Nai to make such a decision was the fact that King Zhongshun sent someone to invite him to the mansion yesterday.Thinking about it, Shi Nai couldn't guess why King Zhongshun sought him out, and what kind of relationship he had with him. He only returned to the capital after seeing that he didn't seem to be losing power, and wanted to befriend him before anyone else.

Lin Ruhai thought about it again, and returned the post to Daiyu, saying: "Go, your sisters should all go, you can go and meet them."

Daiyu has a clever mind, and she also guessed some intentions from this weird post from Baolinghoufu, now that she heard what her father said, she stopped thinking about it.Since her father agreed to go, she didn't worry too much. She just made up her mind to be careful when going to the Shijia.

In Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue took the post to discuss with Mrs. Wang.

She had already received the post during the day, but as the year approached, her affairs became more and more busy. She was also busy until now, so she was free to come to Mrs. Wang.

Madam Wang's invitation to the three girls from Jia's family is now in Mrs. Wang's hands.

Knowing Aunt Xue's intention of coming, Mrs. Wang didn't think much about it, she just asked the sisters to go to the historian's house together when the time came.

Aunt Xue had not been in the capital for a long time, and she didn't know much about the relationship between the Shi family and the Jia family. When she heard Mrs. Wang's relaxed tone, she didn't think much about it.

On the other hand, Mother Jia was really a little puzzled.

When Shi Nai had just inherited the title, Mother Jia wanted to take Xiangyun to her side to raise him.Mother Jia was somewhat dissatisfied with Mrs. Shi Nai, she always felt that Mrs. Shi Nai was petty, and she was afraid that Mrs. Shi Nai would not treat Xiangyun well, so Mother Jia and Shi Nai's family still had a very good relationship on the surface. There are some contradictions secretly.This is also the reason why when Xiangyun went home to live, Jia's mother still only took Xiangyun to live at home from time to time, but she didn't let her daughter go to the historian's house.

Today, Mrs. Shi Nai sent a post to invite her, and it was really unusual in this period of years ago.

Mother Jia was in a trance, and she always seemed a little bored today.Wang Xifeng's affairs are complicated, but she still insists on taking time out to have fun with Jia's mother, but it is difficult to make Jia's mother laugh.

After Daiyu returned to Lin's residence, Jia's mother was already sad.Fortunately, Baoyu was still there two days ago. Because he wanted to avoid Jia Zheng and was afraid of being caught by Jia Zheng and asked about his homework, he didn't play much.

But today Baoyu is still by Jiamu's side, but he is always making noises about going to the historian's house with his sisters, which makes Jiamu unhappy. The only one who can make Jiamu laugh today is Xifeng, who teaches Xifeng to shoulder the burden. It's getting heavier, and it's hard to make Jia's mother happy no matter how funny she is.

Finally, Jiamu fell asleep, Baoyu also lay down, and the mandarin ducks came quietly to look for the attacker.

Xiren wrapped the psychic jade worn by Baoyu with his own handkerchief and stuffed it under the mattress. Suddenly he saw the mandarin duck coming and was about to say something.

Yuanyang motioned her to be silent.

Xiren also understood that Yuanyang didn't want to disturb Baoyu, so that Baoyu would get up again, so he came out quietly.

When the two walked outside, a chill suddenly hit.
