The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

Chapter 15 Response from the Second House

Daiyu was watching her father drink the medicine that day, when Mingxu came in from outside, Daiyu nodded at him, but did not speak, the two met almost every day at Lin Hai's place.

Daiyu is already used to Ming Xu's daily arrival, and she is a little familiar with him, not as reserved as when they first met.

But it turned out that after seeing her that day, Daiyu went to Lin Hai to take care of her illness the next day, and Mingxu was already there. They saw each other in a hurry yesterday, and didn't say a word, so Mingxu naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things. Having been in the same room for a long time, Ming Xu found that Miss Lin was panting slightly when walking, sitting, lying down or talking, and she was not as relaxed as ordinary people.

Mingxu didn't know if this "tears shed, panting slightly." was a disease, but he saw that the little girl was a little more timid than others.Then he asked Lin Hai, if the doctor came again, he might be able to treat his sister too.Lin Hai was really worried about his daughter, so he naturally agreed.

After the doctor came, he said that Miss Lin had no illness, she was a little weak, but there was no serious problem, and if she was taken care of carefully, she would be fine, but it seemed that there was something wrong with her daily medication.

Lin Hai was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Daiyu what medicine she usually took, and asked Xueyan to go back to get the prescription, and Daiyu replied that she was still taking the prescription at home, which was called Ginseng Yangrong Wan.

When Xueyan took the prescription, the doctor looked at it carefully, and said that there was indeed something wrong with it. There was no reason to take a prescription for several years, and it needed to be adjusted according to the changes of the disease. After saying that, he prescribed another prescription. At the end, I also told, "What the ancestors said is that the medicine is three-point poisonous. It is better to eat some nourishing and peaceful medicine on weekdays. Lingqianjin is still young, so it is not suitable to take heavy medicine and tonic medicine." The previous prescription is For emergencies, heavy medicines for emergency and sickness are used too much, which hurts the body very much.

Lin Hai naturally understood this truth, but he forgot that his daughter didn't seem to understand, after all, he was too young to take care of him himself.

Yu'er can understand, but why are there so many people in Jia's house?Unexpectedly, no one understands that the reason that this principle does not work is the prescription that was made at home earlier, and the medicine was prescribed by Yu'er when she was seriously ill.Lin Hai coughed angrily, is this how the Jia family took care of Yu'er, and they were negligent since then.

Daiyu hurriedly supported him and patted his back, "Don't be angry, Daddy, it's because Yu'er is not sensible." Lin Haiping calmed down, and didn't talk to Daiyu, pointing to Xueyan, "Tell me, the girl has never been in Jia's house. Is there no disease and no disaster? There is no medicine to modify the prescription.”

Xueyan has always been careless, and asked what to say, "Back to the master, when the girl was in Jia's mansion, if she was seriously ill, the old lady would visit in person or ask Sister Yuanyang to send things. It’s a prescription to take medicine, usually when a girl is sick or unhappy, she just takes ginseng Yangrong pills, and it usually works.”

"From what you said, most of the time I take medicine to support myself." Lin Hai's voice was a little hoarse.

Zijuan was in a hurry and was about to interject. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Young Master Ming glance over. His eyes were dark and calm, but they made people shiver for no reason, and his mind went blank. I don't know what to say.

Here Xueyan continued: "Master, you don't know that Jia's house is no better than ours. There are a lot of people and the rules are also chaotic. The girl invites a doctor here. I wish I could find out about it immediately. It is very mobilizing. The little maid below I also often say that, in this way, the girl will not invite a doctor easily, and if something is not right, she will take the usual medicine, but fortunately it is still useful." Xue Yan's voice was somewhat accusatory, and she also felt that the Lin family was more comfortable. .

Hearing this, Lin Hai's heart gradually turned from anger to helplessness and heartache. It is not difficult to imagine how carefully Yu'er lived in the Jia's mansion. .

Holding his daughter in his arms, Lin Hai sighed, "My Yu'er has suffered a lot in the past two years." The only daughter was unhappy, and Lin Hai was so worried that he couldn't help crying.

Daiyu also cried, sobbing in her father's arms and shouting "Daddy, Daddy." Every sound was grievance.

Seeing this, Mingxu took people out and left space for the father and daughter, and it would be inconvenient for him to be present next time.

Back to today, when Lin Hai saw Ming Xu coming, he put down the medicine bowl, pointed to the paper on the table and said, "Xu'er take a look at this article, how does it compare to you?" His tone was not lacking in complacency.

So Ming Xu knew it in his mind, picked it up and read it carefully, it was a poem describing the warm winter sun, with gorgeous words, proper use of allusions, and pure feelings, it could be seen that the little girl's inner expectations were written better than himself interesting.

"My nephew thinks he's inferior, but I don't know who made it." Ming Xu smiled and cooperated with Lin Hai knowingly.

Lin Hai smiled even more proudly: "What do you mean by saying that you are better than you, it's just that you can't be a big talent." He paused, "However, it's okay to tell you, it's far away in the sky, and close in front of you."

"Oh, it turned out to be Sister Lin, so that makes sense." Mingxu pretended to suddenly realize, "I've heard that my sister is talented in literature, and seeing her today, it really is true." Mingxu said to Daiyu I gave a scholar gift.

Daiyu blushed quickly and avoided it. Although her father praised her, she felt ashamed in her heart. After going to Jia's mansion, although she still read every day, reading and studying are different. Sir, I am lax after all. Men in Jia’s mansion rarely go to school. Grandmother often said that girls don’t need to know a few words. Naturally, she was also affected, so she worked harder than at home!

At this time, Zijuan said: "It's natural. When writing poems and odes in Beijing's mansion, the girl is always the first among all the sisters. Even the second master who was born in the mansion can't compare. .” She emphasized that the girl’s life in Jia’s mansion was lively and interesting.

Lin Hai frowned, this girl really doesn't know the rules.He knows the talent of his daughter. Jia's family is thriving, and there are many relatives in each house. There will be no fewer girls. There will be conflicts with Yu'er.

This is because Lin Hai thinks too much, and everyone will not make any difference with Miss Lin in this regard.But ever since that father-daughter conversation, he has always been a bit of a villain.

Daiyu said embarrassingly: "Don't praise me, brother Ming is a student of Lanting Academy, how can I, who has studied for a year, compare him, he is modest, Zijuan, stop talking about it. "

"I'm not being humble. My sister's articles are full of inspiration. If I don't think about mine, my husband says it's a piece of wood, very stiff and dull." Ming Xu praised that the little girl is really powerful. explain.

Seeing that no one pays attention to her here, Zicuckoo feels bored.

Seeing the two little people complimenting each other there, I found it interesting, and said with a smile: "The weather is good these few days, didn't Yu'er say that she wants to go to Ling'an Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings? Let Lin Cong take it with you while the weather is good. Xu'er is going too, take care of your sister." Lin Cong is the son of the head housekeeper Lin Rang.

Since Daiyu returned home, Lin Hai's spirit has improved a lot, and her condition has stabilized, so Daiyu thought about going to the temple to make a wish, asking the Bodhisattva to bless her father well.She didn't believe this at first, but now she believes everything.

It was rare for the Lin family to relax, and the Jia family in the capital finally received Lin Hai's second letter.

Mother Jia read the letter here, and she was naturally very angry. Lin Hai was engaged to Yu'er, and she didn't even ask her about this old lady.

"He is a man, deaf and blind, what kind of house can he choose for Yu'er? Look at the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Who knows what it looks like inside? I am in Beijing, and I am not allowed to inquire about it, Min'er How long has it been since you've been here, and you just don't take me seriously." Mother Jia put the letter on the table as she said, and let her daughter-in-law read it.

She originally thought that her two Yu'er were just right, and the two children were compatible in temperament, but she didn't want to be cut off halfway by Lin Hai at once, and she was really angry.

Mrs. Xing looked at the table, then at Mrs. Wang with lowered brows, and read the letter first, "Old lady, this is a good thing, Dingyuanhou's mansion is worthy of my niece, as for What's going on at home, you old lady of the Ming family have seen it too, didn't you even boast about it." Mrs. Xing seemed to not be able to see Jiamu's face.

"You stupid woman, what do you know, and you are talking nonsense here." Jia Mu always hated Xing's small family, so she scolded her and didn't talk to her.Turn to look at Wang.

But Wang kept silent and twirled the beads. She knew what Jiamu was thinking, but she didn't agree. Her precious jade is still young, so what are you thinking about now? !As for the cheap niece, whoever she wants to marry has nothing to do with her. Now that the old woman's ideas have come to nothing, it is indeed just right, and Baoyu has no chance to harm her.

Mother Jia didn't hear Wang's words, so she knew that she might feel relieved, so she sighed, waved her hand, and let people go, she had to think about it now.

Wang's side just breathed a sigh of relief. At night, they heard that there was a commotion in Baoyu's place, so they hurried over.

But it turned out that Keqing didn't survive this ordeal, and finally passed away. Baoyu has been very sad these days and has no energy. He just came back from the sacrifice of his nephew and daughter-in-law, and heard that Sister Lin was engaged. When the two phases are superimposed, they immediately go crazy.

When Mrs. Wang came over, she saw her son being held in the arms of two maidservants, kicking her legs on the ground, and shouting: "Bring Sister Lin back, quickly." He said: "Okay, okay, let someone go to Yangzhou tomorrow, and bring your sister back for you."

Mrs. Wang felt a wave of anger in her heart rushing to her forehead. That little hoof of the Lin family is really a disaster, and it makes people feel uneasy if he leaves. It really doesn't suit me.

There was a lot of trouble here in the Jia family, and the Ming family in the capital also received a letter from Jiangnan. After reading the letter from the mother-in-law, Song told the people around him, "Cherry, you go, go quickly!" Call the big sister over."

She also complained in her heart, how could she have arranged a marriage for Xu'er for no reason? Although Mrs. Sun had explained clearly in the letter, she still felt uncomfortable. A daughter-in-law is here.

Mrs. Song knew that she shouldn't get angry, but she was still a little dissatisfied with this girl from the Lin family. Thinking that Sister Lai spent a lot of time with her, she hurried to call someone. She didn't pay attention to what Sister Lai said on weekdays. Have to ask.

And Mingxu who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River is not aware of the situation at home, and is preparing to go to the mountain with Daiyu tomorrow to have a look.
