Last time, it was said that Guan Mengke had finished treating Daiyu, and he bombarded everyone to go everywhere and came to Lin Ruhai by himself. When Lin Ruhai saw him coming, he was about to ask, but Guan Mengke had a temper attack: "Where did they come from? They are still working in the Tai Hospital! I don't understand the principles of medicine as food aid, regulating qi and maintaining health, and I just know how to use ginseng! Can this ginseng cure all kinds of diseases? Sure enough, 'ginseng kills people without fault.'" If I knew this, I shouldn't have resigned from my official position lightly back then, and let such a bunch of useless things occupy a position and wantonly harm people!"

Lin Ruhai was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Is my Yu'er's illness important?"

Guan Mengke shook his head and said: "Fortunately, the girl is still young and not really an adult, so there is still room for adjustment." It's just that what did you think back then? Who gave you the recipe? What kind of elixir is that ginseng Yangrong pill is a magic trick to teach a girl to eat every day? That is, to eat, the four seasons are different, and the diet and daily life are different, so you should always consider it, add and change medicinal materials, increase or decrease the dose, so that it can stimulate vitality in time and be truly beneficial to the human body. It's good now, she usually only eats this flavor solid prescription for a long time, although it also has the effect of warming and nourishing, but there is no fundamental improvement in the inner bottom of the foundation, there is a slight wind and cold evil soak, not to mention that it can't be supported, and it is easy to offset the original medicinal properties of the Yangrong Pill when using medicine, but it teaches her to be a little weaker than when she was not sick. This has come and gone, how much have you lost in five or six years?"

Lin Ruhai said: "But my mother-in-law treats Yu'er with a sincere love, whenever there is a disturbance, the imperial doctor will be invited." As far as the ordinary consultation is concerned, it must be a famous doctor in Beijing. Don't all these many people know these truths?"

Guan Mengke sneered: "I also know the temper of the people in Beijing, the eyes are the most upward, and they only like to use those rich and noble ones in terms of medicinal materials." For example, with the same moisturizing and nourishing milk, where can white fungus be worse than bird's nest? There are few useful records in the prescription medicine case in the capital. Ginseng and the like have always been a major item in the pharmacy, and who doesn't want to get more of it? What's more, everyone knows that it's good, but they don't know how powerful it is when it's bad, even those imperial doctors who are used to opening the Taiping also like it, so what are you doing to others?"

Lin Ruhai was speechless. Guan Mengke said again: "Another one, your girl is in your father-in-law's family, although she is the granddaughter of her relatives, she is also a Hakka in the end, and she is young, even if she knows that there are some shortcomings, who will have a special imperial doctor to keep an eye on it every day? However, the symptoms of children and the elderly are similar, and the treatment and medication are also very different, and there are also differences between men and women, and not every doctor is good at grasping the balance between them. Catch up with those who don't practice enough, and always push up to the innate frailty, and who can refute it when they are idle? Therefore, it's not that there are not many in your in-law family, it's just that you send a daughter-in-law to the capital and teach outsiders to take care of it, and that's the biggest thing. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then he sighed loudly: "What you said reminds me of when Yu'er was only three years old, a leper monk came to the door and kept saying that he wanted to turn her into a monk. Naturally, my husband and I refused, so we said a lot of crazy things, but we also said that we should not see foreign names and hear crying. It was my fault that she lost her mother at a young age, and taught me to be sent thousands of miles away from home, and I was not well when I was sick. ”

Guan Mengke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, it's another monk talking crazy." I think that when the boy was born, some people repeatedly said that he wanted to be tempered. How can a monk in the world love his children so much? How can he choose all the same rich and abundant families who only owe their children love?"

Lin Ruhai didn't know that there were still these stories, but when he heard about it at the moment, he became curious, so he asked about the reason for the coming. It turned out that the Hong family accidentally had a miscarriage and was delayed for some reason, resulting in a critical situation, and the Zhang family invited more than 20 famous doctors to save their lives, but everyone said that there was no hope for the heirs in this life. Zhang Wang and his wife also adopted the orphans of the clan as heirs in the next year, which is the reason for Zhang. I didn't think that two or three years later, the Hong family was pregnant again and gave birth to Zhang Hui, which surprised and delighted the Zhang family. At that time, Rong Gong was still there, and he personally took the eight characters to Tianning Temple to ask the abbot Songchun for approval. Song Chun sighed and said: "Although the eight characters are good, the day of birth is cold and sudden, the morning fashion is warm and warm like a small spring, and the wind is cold and bone-chilling at night, and all kinds of withering." This is born with a sense of coldness, although it can cleanse the Qingming, but it is too solemn and strong, and it is inevitable to get in the way of the family. So he said that he would raise the chapter back in front of the Buddha and return home when he became an adult. But where is the Rong Gong willing to follow? He only said that the great-grandson of the eldest son of the eldest son of the long house had no reason to let others educate him, so he asked him to be hugged to his own house, and he and Wu Taijun personally took care of him, and enlightened him early in the morning. After Rong Gong left, Wu Taijun continued to raise his great-grandson and taught him to read the Taoist books in addition to the scriptures and history. Therefore, although Zhang Hui is young, the three religions are all involved, and whenever he debates, he can often express his own opinions, and those monks, nuns and Taoists listen to them, and the more they love them, they will accept it. After growing up, his teacher Huang Su Huang Yanxi is an orthodox Confucian, advocating literature and cultivating rituals, reciting and reprimanding, even if he has never been far from the Buddha's theory in a few years, the heart of entering the world is stronger than before, but few people mention it again.

This Guan Mengke spoke carefully to Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile at the end: "It can be seen that these monks and Taoists are all bluffing. The world is really going to listen to all the faith, I don't know how many flesh and bones should be separated, for fear that all the tears will flow into a river. Just like my niece of the Hong family, who was pitiful back then, was disheartened by many quack doctors, and was so easily surprised by heaven that such a son didn't dare to make a mistake when she looked at her eyes, how could she be willing to give it to others? Fortunately, Rong Gong understood that those alarmists were ignored. Later, Yang Zhi and his old lady were even more relieved and generous, since the boy could walk and talk, he took him to Tianning Temple to listen to the old monk Songchun debate, and he was not afraid that he would be coaxed. ”

Lin Ruhai listened and nodded slowly. He didn't care about the side, Du Hua said, that is, he usually made a joke, but that chapter was what he really meant. Because he said: "I have also heard that there have been twists and turns in the heirs of Yang, but now they are very wishy-washy, and people like me can only be envious." But I don't know what kind of person this brother is? I haven't seen it. Although I know very well that Yangzhi, Hui'er has always been in front of him, and the words and deeds of Hong's brother and daughter-in-law are his father and son, and Hong's ancestors and grandchildren can also be imagined, not to mention that there is also your old gentleman. Only this is by the brother, there is no reason for the accident, it is difficult to know his mind. ”

Guan Mengke said with a smile: "If there is a father, there must be a son, and his brother can see his brother." What are you worried about? Do you really want to know your mind, and you can see it for yourself another day, isn't it more reassuring than listening to what others say?"

Lin Ruhai sighed lightly when he heard this, and said, "Why don't I want to? It's just a limitation of my position, and I can't leave it lightly." Otherwise, according to my temperament, I must-" At this point, he stopped, turned outside and asked in a loud voice: "Is Shen Yi waiting outside? Is there any news from Changzhou? If so, report it immediately." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Shen Ping came over with the little servant, asked for peace, and said, "It's still the letter I received yesterday." Uncle Zhang has already passed the old lady and is scheduled to leave the day after tomorrow. The family has already greeted the dock, and they are ready to welcome you, please rest assured. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said a few more words, and then called Wu Sheng and other stewards, Aunt Chen, and the daughter-in-law in charge, and asked and explained it repeatedly, and finally relieved some heart. is just a verbal move, and Guan Mengke has to laugh at a few words. Lin Ruhai was not annoyed, and invited him to inspect the house and check the layout with a smile.

And so for two or three days, everything was ready. It was also reported that Zhang Wang and the Hong couple had gotten up from Changzhou. Lin Ruhai was very happy, not to mention, Zhang Hui had more admiration and hope, and even the Lin Mansion was also excited, discussing many old things about the Lin and Zhang families with the old people. On this day, Lin Daiyu was posting under the window, and she listened to the little girl chattering outside, talking and laughing funny, and couldn't help but stop writing. Qinghe next to him saw it, and hurriedly went out and said, "What are you all gathered here to chew? There are no rules at all." I don't care about my mother, and I'm still stubborn?"

The serving grandmother was so panicked that she got up and confessed. Qinghe was about to speak, but Daiyu let Zijuan help her out, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? I'll hear it. Then he turned to Qinghe and said: "The family has been happy in the past two days, and there is nothing serious at the moment, so my sister will spare them, and then punish them for talking and laughing, okay?"

Qinghe smiled: "It's good that the girls don't think they're noisy." Turning to them, he said, "Do you hear me?" If it's not funny or funny, the penalty will be doubled!"

When everyone heard this, they all agreed. On one side, under the porch, the bluestone rock on the side of the flower tree was cleaned with a handkerchief, and a delicate mattress was placed for Daiyu to sit. Mama Tan leaned down next to the slightly lower rocks on the side, and all the little girls stood or squatted around to listen to her talk about the ancients. It turned out that the parents who talked about Mama were the first Mrs. Zhang who married to the Lin family from Changzhou, and they knew the details of the Zhang family, and they knew the origin of the two families. Because Zhang Wang and his wife were about to come to Yangzhou, the salt government was very curious, and they saw Zhang Hui's appearance and demeanor, and they had everything they said. Talking about Mama listened to these young people in the blink of an eye, she couldn't hold back, and said a few more words. Originally, everyone listened to it and was fascinated, but when it came to Mrs. Zhang's talent and told a few allusions to the old lady of Tonglin's poetry and poetry, the little girls didn't believe it, so they started to talk about it, but they didn't want to disturb Daiyu and the others inside.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask: "These are all true?

Mama Tan smiled and said, "How dare the slaves and maids lie? There are still so many old people." Back then, when the poems were raised, the old lady was not nine out of ten bets and nine losses, but also a situation of winning less and losing more. That's why I love to play the piano more likely. The old lady's piano was taught by everyone, and the painting was also good. Therefore, at the end of each time, they all admit defeat, and then inscribe the old lady's words on the old lady's painting. Later, the old lady took it one after another to frame and store it, and now it is in the chest box - the girl is interested, can she come out and see it?"

Daiyu was moved when she heard this, but then smiled and said, "Take it temporarily, it's also a little troublesome." I'll see it later when I have time. Qinghe Zijuan, you can also help me remember. After thinking for a moment, he sighed again: "Grandfather and grandmother, these things are really interesting." Alas, I have not been able to hear it until today. Talking about Mama, you are also getting closer these days. The uncles and aunts of the Zhang family are from Changzhou, and you have to pay attention to them at any time, so tell us. ”

Mama Tan hurriedly smiled and responded, and sure enough, she stayed in front of her that day to serve. At dinner, Lin Ruhai occasionally saw it in Boyue Hall, and nodded with a smile, calling the word "may". He also smiled and said to Sù Daiyu: "Your grandfather and grandmother were very honest and Yi'an couple back then. They say that I am in harmony with your mother, but I am not as good as them. It's just that the women of the Zhang family are good at calligraphy, painting, and poetry, but they don't have this requirement for others. The daughter's family is quiet and gentle, and she has no talent in this area, and her words and deeds are generous, benevolent and filial, and she is also respected. ”

Daiyu listened to the teachings and hurriedly responded. Guan Mengke next to him laughed and said, "Just say this, don't worry, girl, you just know to be careful not to squeeze your Aunt Zhang's gambling competition and compose poems." Or what if it's just a run? Which one of Yangzhi and Hui Kid can't take it? Don't worry about your father's calculations, it's all made a fuss these days, and he doesn't need to worry about it. ”

Lin Ruhai himself laughed, beckoned Daiyu to sit down beside him, and looked at her description carefully. Seeing that her complexion had improved greatly compared to when she first arrived home half a month ago, I was happy in my heart, and I thought that Guan Mengke and her diet and recuperation in the past few days, although they did not use much three meals a day, they were sweeter, and their effects could gradually appear. Lin Ruhai was full of love, although Guan Mengke was beside her, she had to give a few more instructions, so she sent her to rest early. After a while, I heard that Zhang Hui had changed new books from outside, and sent a set to Tonghuayuan and Boyuetang, so he nodded first, and then hurriedly sent someone to Daiyu's house and said: "Books can be read at any time, and you must not stay up late and waste your energy." And so on, and I don't want to go into details.

Another day, it was Zhang Wang and his wife who arrived in Yangzhou. The family reported: "Steward Wu and Young Master Cousin have already picked up my uncle and wife on the dock, and they are outside the door." Xide Lin Ruhai hurriedly took Daiyu to pick it up. opened the door and took Zhang Wang and Hong's family in the sedan hall. Lin Hai and Zhang Wang brothers have not seen each other for more than ten years, and they reunited in their twilight years, and they have endless joys and sorrows, crying and laughing. This is the first time that the Hong family has seen the Lin family, the side room of the hall has been slightly combed, and the servant women and maids are waiting to come out, and when they raise their eyes, they see Lin Daiyu standing in front of them, cardamom and beautiful, and they are full of smiles in surprise, and they are about to speak when they open their mouths.
