Chapter 40 The Red Chamber (40)(1/2)
Red Mansion(40)
Lin Yuyang nodded and said: "That's fine. We'd better not let anyone encounter any accidents when they leave our house." After saying that, he worriedly told Lin Ping: "Second Miss and the treasure of the Jia family.
The second master said something in the room. Tell everyone who heard it to shut their mouths. If I hear any gossip, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Don't worry, young master. The people serving in the house are all trustworthy." Lin Ping whispered.
Lin Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief and then gave up. Thinking of his sister's unwellness, he felt a little worried. In these years, he really has never seen his sister sick. He immediately made arrangements: "Send someone to ask an imperial doctor to come and treat the big sister."
Girl, take a look." Although they all say it's fine, if you don't ask the imperial doctor to take a look, how can you rest assured?
Lin Ping quickly responded before turning around and going out.
When Lin Yutong woke up, her stomach felt much better. She was lying on the bed and was feeling annoyed. Why didn't she think of preparing some Hushu Bao for the space? Now, it's really inconvenient. She wrote this on the memo
, as time went by, I forgot about it because I got used to it.
Chun'er came in, served Lin Yutong after washing up, and said: "Girl, the young master has invited the imperial doctor and is waiting outside."
"What kind of doctor should I hire? There's nothing wrong with me." Lin Yutong didn't want to make such a private matter known to everyone.
"Don't worry, girl, these imperial doctors are all human sperm. Of course they know what to say and what not to say. Just ask the imperial doctors to take a look. They will naturally know how to reply." Chun'er persuaded with a smile. How could she not know the girl
The embarrassing thing is that there is no female elder in the family, which is not good.
When Lin Yutong thought about his brother's temper, he nodded and said, "I'll call the second girl to have a look later. See if there's anything inappropriate about him."
Chun'er responded and asked Lin Yutong to sit on the couch. Then, a gauze curtain was hung in front of her. She stuck her hand out from the curtain, and Chun'er covered Lin Yutong's hand and wrist with a layer of silk handkerchief. This
Then he got up and called the imperial doctor to come in.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a long time, and thought to himself: The imperial doctor can only check the pulse of the doctor. Look, don't think about it. Who will show it to you, a girl from a rich family? Wen, this is not possible, the doctor can't even think about the female family members of other people.
The voice of the patient, let alone smell any other smell. Even if the doctor asked, the girl or grandma next to him would answer for him. But to be honest, who can replace the patient's true feelings? The only way is to rely on distance.
Feel the pulse with something to determine the symptoms.
Therefore, the requirements for doctors are extremely high.
Lin Yutong pondered that so many children in the world have stepmothers. This proves that the mortality rate of women was always higher than that of men in ancient times. For example, many diseases require acupuncture, but can it be used on women? Without female doctors, even women themselves will
Fame is more important than life. When it comes to death, you really have to wait for death.
Thinking about it, my heart couldn't help but feel heavy. But with such a big social background, what could I do?
Until the doctor left for a long time and Lin Daiyu came to visit, Lin Yutong was still sitting on the couch alone in a daze.
"What is sister thinking?" Lin Daiyu asked.
Lin Yutong woke up and saw it was Lin Daiyu. He smiled and said, "Let the imperial doctor take a look."
Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "But Zuo still said those words. It's not a big symptom. Is sister feeling better?"
"Well!" Lin Yutong asked her to sit down and then said: "I felt uncomfortable the first day, but I slowly got better. The three or five days have passed."
"Okay." Lin Daiyu felt relieved before asking curiously: "What was sister thinking about just now."
"I'm just thinking about the difficulties for us women." Lin Yutong said all the things he was thinking about, and then said: "Even if there is a female doctor, it will be okay. It's a pity. The only one who has anything to do with the female doctor is Wen Po. But Wen Po
I know nothing but delivering babies. It’s really unsettling to entrust your life to these people.”
Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that her sister was an extremely contradictory person. She seemed to attach great importance to rules and etiquette. When interacting with others, she was unwilling to make any mistakes. But in fact, she was a person who despised this person very much.
She was a person with a sense of ethics. She had already felt that she could think of publishing a collection of poems by herself. The idea she proposed now was even more unorthodox.
When she returned to her yard, Lin Daiyu was still thinking about what Lin Yutong had said. She couldn't help but think of her mother, Jia Min, and whether her death also had such factors.
"Snow Goose!" Lin Daiyu called. Zicuckoo is still being locked up to learn the rules. For some things, she would rather use Snow Goose.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Xue Yan was a bit calmer. Although she was still more out of the ordinary than other girls, Dai Yu kept thinking about the friendship they had with her during those two years.
"Go and move the medical books on the last shelf." Lin Daiyu ordered.
"Why did the girl remember to read those things? It's so troublesome." Xue Yan said as she walked towards the bookshelf.
"Being idle is also idle." Lin Daiyu said.
But he said that Lin Ruhai returned home and knew that the family had hired an imperial doctor. He quickly invited the imperial doctor into the study and asked him about it. Later, he vaguely heard what was going on and felt relieved. He also saw that the imperial doctor was an experienced person and spoke very well.
He was safe and sound. He also paid a heavy consultation fee before sending the person out. He also called Sister-in-law Ping and warned: "The eldest girl is young and there is something she doesn't understand. Just tell her. I will reward you later."
Sister-in-law Ping quickly agreed. In fact, the eldest girl is a very easy to get along with. She is willing to do her best. After leaving Lin Ruhai's yard, Lin Yuyang called her again.
Sister-in-law Ping had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to Lin Yuyang: "It's a woman's symptom. It's okay!"
When Lin Yuyang saw Sister-in-law Ping's expression, she only felt embarrassed, not worried or nervous, so she believed her for the first time. Seeing her father again, she didn't say much, knowing that it was probably nothing serious. So, she only told Sister-in-law Ping to take good care of Lin Yutong, and rewarded her first.
With twenty taels of silver, that's all she could do.
Around the Lin family, those patrolling by Wen Tianfang knew that the Lin family had hired an imperial doctor, and quickly told Wen Tianfang. Wen Tianfang was stunned, and it was definitely not the Lin family father and son who were sick. Because he had met his father-in-law Lin Ruhai this morning. Again.
I spent half a day with my brother-in-law. It was not the father and son, but the Lin family sisters. I wanted to come to see my sister-in-law, but I thought that if my sister-in-law was sick, it would be unwise to come to the door rashly. Then I asked the imperial doctor to see the doctor.
I invited him to his home and asked him the whole story in detail. The imperial doctor naturally knew the relationship between Jing Haibo and the Lin family. He thought he was asking about the woman's health. For unmarried men and women, the elders in the family naturally have to know about each other's physical condition. Jing
Haibo had no elders, so it was reasonable for him to inquire on his own. The imperial doctor expressed understanding. In addition, the eldest daughter of the Lin family was very healthy, so there was nothing he could not say. He told Wen Tianfang in a vague way, and assured Wen Tianfang again
, Miss Lin’s body is extremely beneficial to the offspring.
Wen Tianfang was stunned and felt a little embarrassed. He rewarded the imperial doctor well, and then reluctantly sent him away. Everyone wanted to have children, but for people like him, it was already a big deal for him to meet someone who would accompany him.
It's luck. Otherwise, for him, if it doesn't happen, he won't be disappointed. If it does, it will be a surprise. He originally planned to visit, but now he just pretends not to know.
But Jia Baoyu returned to Jia's house, replied to the old lady's words, and then returned to his house. He was a little depressed.
When the attacker saw her, he couldn't help but ask: "But I didn't see Miss Lin. Or maybe I was caught by Mr. Lin and asked about my homework."
Jia Baoyu turned over, gave Xi Ren a back and said, "What do you know? How could it be wrong for my sister not to see me when she sees me?"
"There must be a reason why you are like this, right?" Xiren asked with a smile.
Qingwen heard it from the side and sneered and said: "You have to ask clearly about the things that happen to men outside. Whenever Baoyu raises his hand, how old is Baoyu? You still have to control him like a nanny. From now on.
Our serious grandma came in, but she didn't take care of the men like this. You are richer than grandma. When Baoyu went out, you must have asked every detail. I wish I didn't even say a few words to anyone.
After eating a few dishes with chopsticks, I had to ask a few waiters to find out. With such a virtuous man, whose girl dares to enter our door. If the cooking is even a little bit worse, you will have to compare with it. I don’t know you.
Is this really a gem, or does it have some other agenda?"
No matter how good-tempered Xiren was, she didn't dare to accept this crime. She turned around and said, "Young lady, are you talking about me?"
"Who knows?" Qingwen threw down the curtain and turned around to go out.
Xi Ren's face turned pale with anger.
Jia Baoyu only felt that this good-looking woman suddenly became disgusting. Today, she wanted to protect Sister Bao's face, but for some reason, she offended her with just one word. She thought that if Sister Lin could help
, it can be considered that the friendship between her and Sister Bao has been settled, and saying that she knew it actually offended Sister Lin. I had always thought that I knew my daughter's family, but now I realized that I actually didn't understand anything.
Suddenly I thought, what's the fun in living like this? It would be better to come and go naked without any worries.
On the second day, although Lin Yutong felt uncomfortable, he was also busy with the festival matters. The first thing was to make rice dumplings. Today's rice dumplings are more fragrant and sweet than what he has eaten before. Not to mention the rice he chose, this is just what he used.
The red dates, bean paste, minced meat, salted duck egg yolk, etc. that are used as fillings are not comparable to those modern things. You will never bite out dates with insect holes in the red date rice dumplings. She happily sent the people in the kitchen to
The rice dumplings are small and exquisite, wrapped with colorful threads, and given out one by one as a Dragon Boat Festival gift. Wen Tianfang made the rice dumplings herself. Most of them are meat filling rice dumplings, ham rice dumplings, and salted duck egg and salted egg rice dumplings.
.As for the Jia family, they also gave some symbolic gifts.
Because he sent people to deliver rice dumplings, he also learned that the Jia family had been ordered by Yuanchun to go to Qingxu Temple for a ritual ceremony. Lin Yutong was reading at the time and was particularly disgusted with the incident where Wang Xifeng slapped a child as soon as he entered the door. Today's
Sister Feng, I guess it won’t be like this anymore.
Wang Xifeng is really reborn now. Although doing good deeds may not be out of her original intention, it may have more utilitarian elements. But as long as it is a good deed, who cares why you do it. At least, this time she directly asked the girl to catch her
I gave the money to the little Taoist priest and asked someone to send him out properly.
Lin Yutong thought that if Lin Daiyu didn't go this time, there would be no quarrels or lawsuits. As for whether Jia Baoyu would also be able to win the golden unicorn, she couldn't predict it.
She had just put aside the affairs of the Jia family and didn't want anyone to come to report her. She said that Xue Baochai was here to deliver a holiday gift and was now outside the gate. She asked Lin Yutong if he had seen her.
It turned out that Xue Baochai could not trust Mrs. Wang, so he could not help but keep an eye on Mrs. Wang's movements. Seeing that she had not made any move, not to mention that he came to the Lin family's door to send a girl. Naturally, he knew what was going on. But even if he knew
If my aunt takes the money and doesn't do anything, she can't openly ask if she comes to the door. My brother's affairs always make me uneasy. To be honest, the guillotine hanging above my head and I don't know when it will fall off makes me most anxious.
It just so happened that everyone in the Jia family went to Qingxu Temple. Knowing that something was wrong with their family, they did not invite them to come with them. I just happened to take the opportunity to visit the Lin family. No matter how many requests the Lin family made, as long as the matter could be resolved,
Anyway, it's better than giving your money to your aunt for free.
The gate of the Lin family was still busy. People giving gifts were lined up. But most of them left a name note, leaving their own holiday gifts, and then brought a snake oil gift box prepared by the Lin family. Xue Baochai
It was really unclear whether I could enter the Lin family's gate. Food and drink were prepared on the carriage, so I had to wait until night.
In fact, Lin Yutong didn't know about the conflict between Wen Tianfang, Lin Yuyang and Xue Pan at all. So it was a bit strange for Xue Baochai to come to the house. Today's girls go out alone without invitations from others, and they don't follow the elders in the family.
This situation is really rare. The visitor is a guest, which is different from the people outside the front door who come to the Lin family's door to make friends.
No matter what the reason is, if a girl's house is still outside the house, what if she is hit by someone? She must be invited in.
After Lin Daiyu got the news, she rushed over and said hurriedly: "I know what she wanted." Then she told Lin Yutong roughly what happened. She also heard Jia Baoyu mention it, but the details were unknown.
Lin Yutong never thought that there would be such a thing. He said to Daiyu: "You go and have a rest. I will take care of it."
"Sister, you don't have to look at my face about this." Lin Daiyu stood up and said, "There is no reason for me to let my brother suffer outside." She thought to herself that Jing Haibo often walked outside, so there was no chance of him being bullied.
.My brother must have been bullied, so Jing Haibo helped the Lin family. Compared with Jing Haibo, what Baoyu did was nothing.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and then said: "Oh! I know." When Lin Daiyu went out, she couldn't figure out her thoughts for a while.
He turned around and told the girl: "Send someone to invite the Xue family girl in first."
Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the Lin family had come to invite them. On this hot day, she was suffocating in the carriage. She didn't know whether it was because of the heat or because she was anxious. Her clothes were almost wet with sweat. Ying'er supported Xue Baochai and then
I followed the girl from the Lin family and walked all the way in. Only then did I really feel what it meant to have a deep courtyard and a large house. This inner house is not so easy to enter. At each door, a girl or a nun will lead the way. Along the verandah
, I just feel that compared to the Jia family, it is a different situation. This is not something that the Xue family can compare with. Even when the Xue family was at its peak, it did not have such magnificence. Thinking back to the past in the Jia family, Lin Yutong's treatment of himself
To be continued...
