Jia Jing, national teacher of the Red Chamber

Jia Jing first took a carriage, then changed to a boat, and arrived in the south of the Yangtze River in less than [-] days. After arriving at the place, he directly handed over the post to find Lin Ruhai.

Jia Jing wanted to come to Jiangnan, besides himself, there were two groups of people who told Lin Ruhai.The highest status was the emperor, and the emperor also vaguely mentioned Jia Jing's excellent medical skills in the letter, and asked him to take him to the local medicine market for more shopping.In addition, there is Lin Ruhai's brother-in-law Jia Zheng, who was entrusted in the letter to take good care of Jia Jing.There is an unusual thing in Jia Zheng's letter, which is that Jia Zhu's health is slightly better.Originally, Lin Hai forgot after reading it, but combined with the emperor's letter, Lin Hai had a guess in his heart. Could it be that Jia Jing cured Jia Zhu?

The ancestor of Lin Ruhai's family was a Marquis and a scholarly family, and he himself was selected as a Tanhua. The courtyard is very uniquely arranged, and the word "garden" is vividly displayed.Rockery and flowing water, the angle of turning in and out of the path is amazing.

When Lin Ruhai invited him to dinner, there were [-] or [-] dishes on the table, all of which were local specialties in the south of the Yangtze River.During the period, Jia Min took the child out to meet him.

The little girl she held in her hand must be Daiyu, she looked like she was seven years old, very similar to Jia Min, except that she was a little thinner.Jia Jing smiled at her, Daiyu saluted back and called "Uncle" in a low voice.

The little boy in Mammy's arms was the only son of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. He was not yet three years old this year. He was tightly wrapped up, so he couldn't even see his face. He must be in poor health.

After saying a few words, Jia Min said that the weather was cold, and he was afraid that the children would catch the wind, so he led the two of them back.

As soon as she walked through the flower hall, Daiyu took Rajamin's hand and said, "Mother, that uncle looked very kind just now!"

Jia Min smiled and nodded, "Then come back tomorrow and show you uncle?"

Lin Ruhai is over 40 years old, and there are only these two children under his knees. He loves them very much. He kept watching their backs until they disappeared, and then turned his head and put his mind on Jia Jing.

Lin Ruhai passed Tanhua, and then sat in the big fat vacancies of Xunyan Yushi, plus he was the emperor's confidant, so he was very well informed.He also knew how expensive Jia Jing's elixir was in the capital.I didn't think so at first, but when I saw Jia Jing's face and thought about how much older he was than Jia Min, I felt that if the elixir can have this effect, it should be sold as expensive as it is.

Jia Jing left the capital without deliberately avoiding people, so within two days, the Seventh Prince also knew the news, accompanied by him having dreams every night.Dreaming is nothing unusual, but the content of this dream...

On the first night, as soon as the Seventh Prince closed his eyes, he felt like he was floating up in a trance. When he landed again, he found that he was already wearing a dragon robe and jade belt, and he had completely changed the emperor's attire.

Not far away, the voice of the fairy is misty, shrouded in clouds and mist, a fairy girl walked over on a small road surrounded by rockery pavilions.Why is it called Xiangu, the woman didn't touch the ground, and walked slowly, but she floated in front of the Seventh Prince within two steps.

"I am Fairy Jing Huan, Your Majesty is destined, you can come with me." Hearing this, the Seventh Prince followed the Fairy and walked forward. After two turns, the Seventh Prince saw a large stone gate of white marble. On it was written the four big characters of "Very Illusory Realm".Is it an illusion?The anxiety in the Seventh Prince's heart caused by wearing the dragon robe privately disappeared a lot.

At that moment, the host and guest sat down separately, the fairy aunt called for drinks, and there were dancers dancing in the hall, the seventh prince was drunk after a while.In the dream, it seemed that she was led to a place that looked like a study by the fairy girl. The seventh prince woke up from his drunkenness, and casually took out a scroll and read it carefully in his hand.The first picture is of a woman, wearing a phoenix crown, with a row of wives kneeling underneath. The Seventh Prince took a closer look, and found that the woman's face resembled that of his own mother and concubine.His own mother and concubine became the queen mother?The mother concubine has only one son!

The Seventh Prince turned the pages faster and faster. On the second page was still a woman, her face was somewhat similar to the Yuan Chun he had just adopted. Concubine.The seventh prince was even more shocked. His mother concubine was the queen mother, and his side concubine became a noble concubine!

Turning back, his concubine was wearing a golden phoenix robe and a golden crown, kneeling in front of a man who was also in a golden robe, and took the queen's seal from him!

The Seventh Prince woke up suddenly!

For the next few nights, the Seventh Prince would dream of Fairy Jinghuan every night, and met several generals under her command, Fairy Chimeng, Golden Girl Yinshou, Master Kindness and Bodhi, all of them treated him with courtesy , I called it Your Majesty, and the book that foreshadowed my personal destiny turned out to be thicker.

When the seventh prince saw the emperor's coffin, he knelt first; beside the fifth prince's solitary grave, he stood aside and sneered; and when he saw the deposed prince depressed in the cold palace, he died within two years after he was released. ; He also saw his sixth brother who had no son in his life.

He saw that he copied the Jia family, Zhen family, and Wang family, saw the Xue family and the Shi family's suicide, and there was another person!The Seventh Prince almost turned to the last page directly.

On that page, there was a shriveled and thin old man with a yellow-black complexion and no flesh on his cheeks. He died suddenly after eating golden pills!

The Seventh Prince laughed loudly and stood up.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Next to the Seventh Prince lay his newly appointed side concubine, Jia Yuanchun.

The Seventh Prince put his hand on her neck, stroked it lightly a few times, and comforted him: "It's all right, go to sleep."

Lin Ruhai is a doctor of Lantai Temple, and now he is also the censor of Yanyan. His official residence is in the center of Yangzhou City.Jia Jing followed the servants in his house and visited three medicinal materials markets in two days. He also bought some authentic medicinal materials.

The etiquette of Lin's mansion is much more considerate than that of Jia's mansion, Daiyu and the child who dare not even have a nickname come to pay their respects every day.Daiyu was able to walk by herself, but the nearly three-year-old boy was carried by the nanny every day, and she only said "greetings to uncle" before being carried back.Daiyu can stay a little longer, but the girl is shy, and she can't spend more than a cup of tea with Jia Jing every day, she can only say a few words before leaving again.

To say that the two children of Lin Ruhai are indeed weak, the boy can be said to have a face like gold paper, and Daiyu has a nice voice, elegant conversation, and standard etiquette, but she blushes and coughs before she can say a few words, presumably It's a lung problem.

The backyard of Lin's residence was very clean. Apart from Jia Min and the two children, there were only two aunts who were a few years older than Lin Ruhai and had nothing to do.In addition to managing the Lin family, Jia Min also has two children to take care of, so he is busy every day until dark, and only has three hours to rest every day.

Jia Jing has been here for three to five days, and the number of times he has seen Lin Ruhai and Jia Min combined is not as many as the number of times he has seen Daiyu alone.

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the month, which is the official holiday.Jia Jing didn't go out that day, because Lin Ruhai sent someone to send a message to him yesterday, saying that he had something important to discuss.

That day Jia Min went out to a banquet, and Lin Ruhai brought his son and daughter to meet Jia Jing in the study.

Lin Ruhai's study room is full of Poisson and cypresses, and the two large bookshelves are full of poetry dictionaries, full of ink fragrance, which makes people very comfortable.

Seeing that Daiyu and the unknown young son were there, Jia Jing knew that he was probably seeing a doctor.He came to Jiangnan for this purpose. If Lin Ruhai continued to be so busy, he wished he could go directly to the yamen to find someone, and then asked straightforwardly: I want to see a doctor for your son, do you agree?

Thinking of this, Jia Jing didn't hold back any more, and said, "Young master is already three years old, why can't he even lay down the ground now?"

Lin Ruhai sighed, "This child was born before the full term, and he suffered a serious illness after birth. He came and went again and again, and became like this."

"These days he came to pay his respects, Mammy watched closely, so I don't want to make it difficult for her. There are no outsiders today, can you ask me to take a closer look?" Jia Jing said.

"Please." Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing went to the couch and unwrapped the little boy.

The face is still like gold paper, and the limbs are slender and limp in the hands. It seems that it has been wrapped for a long time, and it doesn't move, so the muscles don't grow much.

The pulse count was three points stronger than the Jia Zhu he saw last time.Jia Jing shook his head, difficult.After tidying up the little boy's swaddle, he brought Daiyu to check his pulse. It seems...it seems that he has eaten too much ginseng?Daiyu is only seven years old, still too young, why eat so much ginseng, it's not the way to nourish the body.

After the pulse was diagnosed and the nanny took the two children away, Jia Jing couldn't help smiling at Daiyu who turned her head, until she was out of sight, then said: "Take the ginseng for Daiyu first."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai was both happy and sad.Since Jia Jing opened his mouth, it proved that Daiyu was fine, but he first saw a doctor for his son, then shook his head, and now he talked about Daiyu first. Doesn't this mean that his son is not saved?

Lin Ruhai sighed, and said: "The ginseng Yangrong pill Daiyu is taking now is much better than the previous two years."

Jia Jing shook his head, "I don't know who prescribed this prescription for you. This pill is for recuperating after illness. It's okay to take it for a short time. There are three fires in a child's body, and this pill is dry in nature. Greatly nourishing yang, regular consumption is not good for the lungs, especially for women, most of whom are yin deficient, and should not be taken for a long time."

Lin Ruhai thought that Daiyu had been coughing frequently since she recovered from her illness when she was four years old, so she believed it three-pointedly, but then she thought that his wife once said, "It's not like people like us can't afford ginseng. It’s good, it won’t hurt anything if you eat it often.” He was a little suspicious, but then he thought again, Jia Min is Daiyu’s biological mother, and they got this daughter after thirty, how could they harm her? .

Lin Ruhai nodded, listened to Jia Jing's words, and asked again: "Then what should I take after stopping this medicine?"

Jia Jing's eyes widened, "It's a disease caused by taking medicine. It's better if you stop it. If you have nothing to do, take a walk, and the weather is good now. It would be nice to take a walk in the yard to enjoy the flowers and fly a kite." Jia Jing said Terrible, Lin Ruhai stopped the topic.

"Then my son..." Lin Rihai hesitated, asking if he could be saved?Or can it be cured?Or simply ask when to prepare for the funeral?

"It can be cured, but..." Jia Jing hesitated, and waited for a long time before saying: "It will be a hindrance to the heirs in the future."

Just as Lin Ruhai was relieved, he raised his breath again, his Lin family is going to be the last one!

Jia Jing said: "I have a kind of elixir, I can live if I eat it, but I can't have offspring. Once the yang energy is vented, I will definitely die." Jia Jing moved forward and said in a voice that was almost inaudible: " This is what I gave His Majesty to eat!"

"Ah?" Lin Ruhai was shocked and stared at Jia Jing!He is His Majesty's confidant, His Majesty mentioned in the middle of the year that he was afraid that his life would not be long, and he also said that the imperial physician's medical skills were not good, but who knew it was because of Jia Jing!

It's not that Jia Jing never thought about what to do if Lin Ruhai leaked it to the emperor. This person is obviously the emperor's confidant.But in the end he still decided to take a gamble, if Lin Ruhai wanted his son to survive, or if Lin Ruhai's EQ was not that low, and obviously told the emperor, even he would have no luck.

Lin Ruhai closed and opened his eyes again, and asked two crucial questions: "How long will it take? What's the price?"

As expected of Tan Huajia's confidant, Jia Jing nodded approvingly, and said: "One grain in March, what's the price..." Jia Jing quickly calculated in his mind, according to the specifications of the last New Year's ceremony, Lin Ruhai's family property is not small 200 million, and now he is the Xunyan Yushi, with a lot of tributes. If his son lives to be 20 years old, there will be 17 years, a total of 68 pills.

"Let the son of the family live to the age where he can marry a wife and have children, a total of 200 million!" Jia Jing opened his eyes and said confidently.

Is Lin Ruhai not willing to part with money?He also did some calculations in his mind. His family property has more than 80 yuan, and the remaining 250 million taels is this year's tax money. Of course, it was not collected through normal channels. Silver and other items are filial piety.This money is to be handed over to the treasury.

The reason why he was able to be the inspector of salt and censor for so many years was because he gave the emperor the idea to replace tax money with filial piety.In this way, the tax revenue will not be reduced in private, and all the forces in Jiangnan are also satisfied.

But what if his son lived long enough to marry a wife and have children?Isn't his Lin family the same?

Jia Jing seemed to see the hesitation in Lin Ruhai's heart, and hit him hard again. "Although you can't have intercourse, this pill locks yang energy. In other words, once you have intercourse, all the yang energy in your body will flow into the woman's body, and the son will not be able to escape. If you can endure it for more than ten or twenty years, Maybe I can have two sons at once."

"Ah!" Lin Ruhai really lost his composure this time, he grabbed Jia Jing's wrist tightly and said, "Let me think about it!"

Jia Jing got up with a smile, and said: "I still have Shengzi Dan, which was originally prepared for the sixth prince. The sixth prince is a solid person, and he has given a lot of medicinal materials, so it is okay to get some out, but there is no guarantee that it will work." I gave birth to a son." After finishing speaking, Jia Jing took out a small medicine bottle from his cuff and put it on the table solemnly, "This is the pill I said to take once in three months, you can try it first. "

After Jia Jing finished speaking, he left.Lin Ruhai was still in shock, and didn't even notice when Jia Min returned home.

At night, Lin Ruhai slept in the study alone on the pretext of being busy with business.There is too much information this day, and he has to sort it out.

First of all, it is the question of how the Lin family can continue to succeed.Jia Min is weak and has long been barren.But all these years, it is not that there are no concubines in his backyard, but they have nothing to produce, so if he wants to have a son, he must take Jia Jing's elixir, and then take another concubine again.

But Jamin will be sad...

Or it is to spend a lot of money to raise the son to adulthood, and then marry him and have children.But in this way, the time is too long, and I am afraid that there will be some changes in the middle, not to mention his own health is not good, how can he live to be 60 years old?Second, he used the tax money that should have been paid, so what if the emperor blamed him? Third, how could he ensure that Jia Jing would not sit still and raise the price.

However, Jia Jing's demand for 200 taels of silver was very strange, and it happened to be stuck at the bottom line that Lin Ruhai could bear.Who told him?

It can't be the emperor. The emperor said at the beginning that only the two of them knew about the tax and money. They would not tell the third person until the crown prince succeeded to the throne.So who else?From where did Jia Jing infer his Lin family's property?

Lin Ruhai got up from the bed at once, called the butler, and asked him to take a look at the gift list from the Lin family in the past few years.

Turning over one by one, Lin Ruhai sighed heavily.It was normal at first, but about three years ago, the gift list Jia Min sent to the capital became more and more important, no wonder Jia Jingneng knew about his family background.

Will the emperor know about it too?The candlelight was flickering, Lin Ruhai frowned, and comforted himself: The emperor probably doesn't care about this very much. He has worked hard for so many years, and the emperor will not blame him.

Lin Ruhai was so depressed that he didn't sleep all night, but the next morning, another thunderbolt hit his face.

His son is dying!

Lin Ruhai grabbed the medicine bottle in one hand and hurried to the backyard.

His only son was lying on the bed, unable to breathe, his whole body covered with silver needles, while Jia Min was already crying and fell to the ground.

Lin Ruhai's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, his eyes were obscure.

The doctor standing next to him was already sweating, and he kept feeding the medicine with a small spoon while the young master was panting for breath.It's just that the young master's panting frequency is getting more and more urgent, because he coughs up more and drinks less.

Lin Ruhai held the medicine bottle tightly, trying to control herself, and kept silent.Finally, his son's chest stopped rising and falling, the doctor stood with his hands down, not even daring to wipe off his sweat, and Jia Min wailed and fainted to the ground.

The fastest responder was the nurse next to her, who hurriedly helped Madam to one side and lay down on the bed.Only then did Lin Ruhai say to the doctor: "Quick! Show my wife quickly!"

After feeling the pulse, the doctor said: "Ma'am, this is extremely injured and fainted, the heart vein is damaged. I will take medicine first, but I am a pediatrician, sir, I still need to ask other doctors to take a look."

After sending the doctor away, Lin Ruhai didn't care about his dead son, he just called the housekeeper to prepare for the funeral, while he himself sat in front of Jia Min's bed, guarding Jia Min who refused to take medicine since he woke up, comforting him non-stop.

Jia Min couldn't shed her tears long ago, "Master! My son will only be three years old next month, and now I need someone to lie there coldly. How can you tell me to be a mother? Why don't you let me go with him?" I’ve gone, and I’m taking care of one or two.”

Lin Ruhai held Jia Min's hand, "Min'er, we still have Yu'er, how can you give up Yu'er and your husband..." Lin Ruhai said, tears also fell.

"Yu'er! Yu'er!" Jia Min suddenly sat up and called out, "Where is my Yu'er?"

Lin Ruhai winked, and the maid went to find Daiyu. "Yu'er will be here soon." Lin Ruhai supported Jia Min to lie down again, and said, "Wipe your face first, how about something to eat, otherwise Yu'er will be sad again when she comes."

After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Min wiped his face and straightened his hair, but refused to take a bite of the food. No matter how Lin Ruhai persuaded him, he just tilted his head and ignored it.

Even when Daiyu knelt on the ground with the food, she took a symbolic sip twice, but refused to move her chopsticks again.

If it goes on like this, the body that is always hard will not be able to support it, not to mention Jia Min's body is like catkins, which will fall down when the wind blows.Three days later, Jia Min was still lying on the bed, gasping for breath. When the doctors came, they just shook their heads, saying that they might be happy to prepare for the funeral.

Lin Ruhai sat down slumped. At night, he looked at Jia Min who was lying on the bed and could not open his eyes, and Daiyu who had lost shape in just three days, and finally gave Jia Min the elixir he had been pinching for three days. go down.

Early the next morning, Jia Min was able to get out of bed.Lin Ruhai held her hand, with tears in his eyes: "Min'er, our son must also wish you well, you take care of yourself, we..." Lin Ruhai was sobbing uncontrollably before he finished speaking.

After Jia Jing heard the news of Lin Ruhai's son's death, he originally thought that the business could not be done, but he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to come to him after three days.

He handed over a stack of bank notes and said, "One million taels, it must be enough for five years of pills."

Jia Jing nodded, knowing that most of the elixir was given to Jia Min, and thought that Lin Ruhai was really the seed of infatuation.He took the bank note and said: "This elixir is against the harmony of heaven, and we must do more good deeds in the future."

Lin Ruhai sighed, he finally spent the money that shouldn't be touched.

Jia Jing counted the days, it would be a bit mysterious to return to the capital within three months and rush back, he must rely on monks, Taoists and others.He didn't have much of this elixir, only two of them, so he thought about calling monks and Taoists out when no one was around, and let them get it.

Jia Jing did his calculations well, handed the banknotes to the monks and Taoist priests, and told them where to get the elixir. As soon as the two disappeared, they heard the door knocking on the door, and saw a group of officers and soldiers breaking down the door. Entering, the leader said: "Jia Jing murdered the emperor, take him down immediately! Take him back to Beijing for trial!"
