5. Go to Yingtai to consult and save the whole family

The mountain breeze in the early morning, cold and swishing, the third master, who had planned to go to the Haidian official office to inquire about the news, wrapped his thin robe tightly and prepared to set off. Before I got on the horse, I saw the old man coming from Dashilar. The old man asked the third master to go back to the old house. It's not a big deal, Dashilar won't send anyone to find Baiwang Mountain.

Meiyu sent the third master to the foot of the mountain, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw the third master's anxious expression, she didn't dare to interject, for fear of disturbing the third master's thoughts. is always like this, she is always a little afraid in front of the third master, no matter how lingering the clouds and rain are before, she still doesn't dare to say or act arbitrarily.

Looking at the guy who was in a hurry and had an embarrassed face, the third master really couldn't take care of Meiyu. The third master asked him: "What's the matter, why do you keep running to Baiwang Mountain?" ”

The old man stumbled and stomped his feet on the spot, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"What's wrong? Say it quickly. The third master urged.

"Hey, third master, don't ask, I'm stupid and can't say anything. The second master said that I should invite you back quickly. The second master will explain to the third master. ”

The third master sighed in his heart, Dashilar has always been the eldest brother's master, why did the second brother come out to explain today, could it be that something happened to the eldest brother? Sick or bumped? The third master was drumming in his heart, and he was also anxious to sweat.

"Come on, I'll go back quickly." The third master greeted Meiyu hastily, but his eyes were full of the surrounding scenery, and he didn't have time to stay on Meiyu's face for a moment.

"Be careful on the road." Meiyu didn't dare to say anything, she watched the third master ride away, and she was extremely disappointed. remembered that last night, after the third master fell asleep, he gently stroked his face. I don't know how long it will take to come back this time.

"Sister Meiyu, a patient threw up." Miyu's schoolgirl came to call her.

"Oh, okay, I'll take a look." Meiyu looked into the distance nostalgically, turned around and entered the medical hall.

The patient was simply upset and fine. The school girl didn't know what to do with the filthy excrement, so she came to call Meiyu.

"The patient is fine." Meiyu comforted her younger sister while rolling up her sleeves to clean up the vomit in that place. The younger sister looked at Meiyu who didn't dislike it at all, and secretly left tears.

Meiyu cleaned up the floor, carefully washed her hands, and reassured the patient. The younger sister pulled Meiyu into the corridor and asked; "Senior sister, how can you be so good?"

"Huh? What's good? Meiyu was asked inexplicably.

"It's nothing, no wonder the headmaster and dean like you so much."

Before the words fell, a call came from the emergency room, and Miyu pulled the female student and threw herself into the intense work.

Also nervous, there are also the family members of the Lin family's mansion in Dashilar, all of them have serious expressions, and they don't dare to gasp. As soon as the third master entered the hospital, he felt bad when he saw everyone's appearance. He took three steps and two steps into the north room in the front yard, and the second brother was standing in the hall, waiting for him.

"Third brother, something happened." When the second brother saw the third brother coming in, he got up and came out.

"Second brother." The third master stared at the second brother and said hello.

Seeing that the second brother was about to cry, the third master hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "Second brother, what's wrong?" ”

"Big brother, hey! The eldest brother was called to see the emperor, saying that he had seen a mistake, and they said that it was a misdiagnosis and locked up the eldest brother. The second brother cried.

The second brother is weak by nature, and he has always been concentrating on medicine, and does not get involved in the affairs of the family and the outside world. I'm most afraid of dealing with people. At the moment, he couldn't pick up such a big deal at all.

"Second brother, don't worry. What about the big shopkeeper? What about the housekeeper? The third master asked.

"I'm looking for someone, looking for the adults who come to us from time to time. But you said, this time it's the emperor, what can they help? The second brother touched his tears.

Looking at the second brother of the six gods and no masters, the third master sighed, he didn't expect that for the first time, he was regarded by the family as a serious master, and he came to discuss countermeasures, but it was such a big event. If it is anything else, his heart will be extremely satisfied, and the family will finally recognize him as the son of a concubine; But this is the eldest brother's business, he would rather be left out in the back of Xizhimen for the rest of his life, than want to hurt his eldest brother the most, there is a little trouble.

"Third brother, you are well-informed, you should think of a way." The second brother said with a sad face. So far, what the second brother said to the third master has exceeded what the two brothers have said in so many years in the past.

"Mom and Dad know?" The third master asked.

"I don't know. Didn't dare to say. The second brother shook his head.

"I'll go to jail and see." The third master turned around and left.

"Yes, yes, third brother, it's really up to you this time. You know I'm not in charge, and my parents can't know either, but my dad is fast. ”

The third master stopped and asked, "What's wrong with Dad?" ”

"Not so good. But there's me here, you do the big brother's business first. ”

The third master didn't speak, and he didn't know anything about his father's serious illness, whether he was a member of the family or not. But the eldest brother really loves himself, and he has regarded his eldest brother, who is twenty years old, as his father since he was a child.

In fact, for many years, the third master's connections have mainly been in medicine stores and medical halls, all of which are practicing medicine and business. If you want to do anything in the yamen, you have to go to Tongzhou to find the Shen family. At this time, the third master suddenly remembered that the last time he had a banquet at the Shen family, he didn't go to the backyard to say hello to the third girl.

When I arrived at Tongzhou Daying from Dashilar, it was already past lunch. The third master went from Baiwang Mountain to Dashilar, and continued east to Tongzhou, which made the strongest rider a little unbearable. He dragged his very heavy legs and stood outside the gate of the Shen family.

Shen Zongfu also just returned home from the camp, and when he heard the third master's visit, he warmly greeted him. Jiarou also heard the announcement in the backyard, and she hurriedly got up and tidied up. Shen Yishi was worried about his son, and hurried to the door to greet him.

"Third master. Got free today? Deliver medicine to the big camp? Shen Zongfu gave up.

"Brother Shen." The third master also gave up.

"Brother Shen, something happened at home." The third master's voice was very low. "Big brother, it's off."

Shen Zongfu was very surprised, he was puzzled and asked, the third master told him back and forth, and the two of them entered the front yard while talking. Shen Yishi followed, she wanted to interject and ask the child how it was, but in front of this big event, it was not easy to interject.

After the third master finished speaking, Shen Zongfu frowned, "Oh, this thing is not easy to do." ”

"Brother Shen, nothing else, just can you go in and see the eldest brother."

"Oh, it's not hard. You go with me. Shen Zongfu said, let's take the third master and walk outside the courtyard.

Shen Yishi still couldn't hold back, grabbed the third master's arm and asked, "His third uncle, how are the children?" ”

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't worry, Baiwang Mountain is very peaceful, and they don't want to come back. By the way, sister-in-law, these two times, I didn't bother to ask the third girl for a good one. "The matter in front of him begged the Shen family, so he naturally had to be more restrained, and the third master was not ignorant of human feelings, he knew when he was going to become more catch-up.

Jiarou waited for a long time in the backyard, standing at the back of the corridor, half of her body hidden. Jiarou was about to be lost, and this deliberately flattering sentence was taken by her as the third master's response to herself. Her heart tightened suddenly, her face turned red, and she was so excited that she didn't know whether to step forward or retreat, and only held her chest with her hand to soothe her heart that was about to fly out.

Unlike Meiyu, Jiarou is not surrounded by so many men. Two years ago, when I saw the third master for the first time, Jiarou fell in love. He was the first good-looking man she had ever seen, and from then on, except for Wushan who was not a cloud, no one could get into Jiarou's eyes. At first, the third master and Jiarou didn't talk much. In order to attract his attention, on that day, after Jiarou dressed up carefully, she came to the study to instruct Jialiu and Rong Chuan in their homework. She deliberately raised her voice and read aloud: "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." At the same time, he glanced at the door with his peripheral vision to observe whether the third master had come from the corridor. When the figure of the third master came into view, Jiarou was nervous and excited to say her feelings about "University". This perception is naturally not her Shen Jiarou's, it is the true biography that she specially went to consult Mr. Teach. Jia Rou thought that such words would inevitably attract the third master's appreciation and curiosity about herself. Sure enough, the third master approached the house and did it, Jiarou was overjoyed, but she also pretended to be nothing. In order to give the third master more surprises, Jiarou read poetry books day and night, so that the next conversation would become more interesting. Jiarou can be said to have worked hard, but she was also willing, and waited for a marriage contract. But after the marriage contract, the third master suddenly cooled down, which made Jiarou have no idea, she was already poor in donkey skills, and she couldn't think of any way to make the third master regain his curiosity about himself, but he had to live one day at a time.

Jia Rou, who was standing on the corridor, went through the three masters' kindness to herself one by one in the past two years, and she confirmed that she was not wishful thinking, and the third master had her in his heart. Poor Jiarou was provoked to tears by such a deliberately flattering remark.

The third master didn't know that Jiarou heard that sentence, he just wanted to make the Shen family happy, so that he could do his best to help him save his eldest brother. Shen Yishi naturally understood what the third master meant, and thought that in fact, he didn't have to move his daughter out, just with the old friendship between the two families, the Shen family would definitely go all out for the matter of the Lin family's uncle.

When I arrived at the prison, it was also dark, just in time to hide people's eyes. Shen Zongfu and the third master went in together to talk to the uncle.

"Big brother." The third master said holding on to the railing.

"Third brother, Brother Shen, why are you here?" The eldest brother is still noble, although he has long been embarrassed, but his eyebrows are still so magnificent.

Uncle Lin told them about how he treated the patient in Yingtai, and the patient was fine, but the prescription was already prepared, and the medicine was not right. He refused to sign and was sent to prison.

"Big brother, why aren't the doctors taking a look at the disease?" The third master asked.

"It is said that the doctors are sick, and the people who return to their hometowns return to their hometowns, in short, no one goes. Someone from the palace asked me to go, and I couldn't help but go. Ay! Forget your grandfather's words, the tree will inevitably attract the wind. Over the years, our Lin family has been in the capital, which is too high-profile. The eldest brother sighed and said.

"Brother Shen, look at how this is." The third master looked at Shen Zongfu and said.

The guards in the prison came in and drove them away, saying that it was an exception, and the conversation was endless. The third master didn't dare to show embarrassment in front of the eldest brother, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I'll find a way, you should eat and drink, and we'll go out in a few days." ”

The third master comforted the eldest brother like the eldest brother comforted himself when he was a child. He was only five years old when his mother died, and he didn't dare to sleep by himself on the first night, so the eldest brother called him in to sleep with them. Later, the eldest brother raised the third master as a son with his only daughter. Whether it is studying or settling down on errands, he has never treated the third master badly. Now that the eldest brother's only daughter has married away to Tianjin, the person who can be counted on is the third master.

Shen Zongfu dragged the third master out of the prison, and they walked to no one and talked in a whisper.

"Brother, this is not easy to do." Shen Zongfu said.

"Yes, I know." The third master sighed.

The two were silent for a long time. The third master said, "What will happen in the future?" ”

"It's hard to say. Look at the emperor. Shen Zongfu said in a low voice.

"What do you say? What to look at the emperor. The third master was anxious, but he didn't dare to shout, his voice was very low.

"Oh, look at whether the emperor is good or bad." Shen Zongfu was also anxious, and stomped his feet hard.

"Don't say that, what does it matter to my eldest brother whether the emperor is good or bad?"

"Brother, I know you're in a hurry, but you've got to be ready. It's up to you. Shen Zongfu turned his face to the side.

"It's up to me for what! What are you ready for? The third master didn't want to admit that he understood Shen Zongfu's words.

Shen Zongfu saw that the third master was really anxious, and he also felt that it was inconvenient to say anything more at this time. He waved his hand to let the third master get into the car, and they each went back to their respective homes. The third master grabbed Shen Zongfu and said, "Brother Shen, tell me, what's the worst?" ”

"Brother, hey, it's not the worst."

"Can you overturn the case?" The third master asked.

"That depends on whether the emperor can overturn the old lady's case."

"There's no other way?" The third master continued to ask. Shen Zongfu was silent, he couldn't think of any way to overturn the case.

The third master took advantage of the moonlight and returned to Dashilar. The second brother and sister-in-law circled him for the first time.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, it's useless to be anxious. Let me think about it. The third master sat at the dining table and said while eating, he pretended to be calm, because he didn't want the second brother and sister-in-law to make trouble in front of him because of his panic. He needs to think about it calmly.

The second brother and sister-in-law saw that the third brother was so calm, so they sat quietly and watched him eat a mouthful of porridge, a mouthful of cakes, and a mouthful of duck.

"By the way, second brother, where do I sleep at night?" The third master suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.

"Oh, by the way, you see your house is occupied by my stinky boy." The second brother said.

The second sister-in-law hurriedly answered: "Auntie's house is still empty, I'll hurry up and clean it up." ”

After the second sister-in-law left, the third master said to the second brother: "Second brother, my parents are still here, don't make a fuss." If there's anything, let's carry it together. ”

The second brother cried again: "Third brother, I really have to rely on you." I bullied you when I was a child. Don't take it to heart. In this matter, if the eldest brother has a good one, our family, no, our family will be finished. ”

"Hey! I said, can the second brother not say that. ”

"Isn't it? The eldest brother has a bad view of the emperor, so maybe it's just a matter of life? The second brother wiped his tears.

The third master knew that Shen Zongfu also meant this in and out of his words just now, but now he was broken by the second brother, which made him really want to get up and beat him.

"Okay, second brother, you should do what you should do as usual, it's useless to think about it now. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. The third master stared straight at him, said thoughtfully, got up and went back to the house to sleep.

On this day, Baiwang Mountain, Dashilar, Tongzhou County. Even if there are thousands of troubles, the third master can't stand it. As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the third master appeared at the gate of the Shen family compound in Tongzhou. After the concierge reported, Shen Zongfu came out. The two walked quickly into the study, and the third master knelt on one knee. Shen Zongfu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said, "Brother, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother Shen, my eldest brother can't be fine. He's broken, and our whole family is gone. This is a crime of deception. The third master said.

"You get up first. It's not that serious, let's figure it out together. "Shen Zongfu is a good person, at this critical moment, he did not avoid the Lin family like he avoided the plague god, although he did have a slight panic in his heart.

"Brother Shen, if you help dredge it, just say that our eldest brother has an eye disease and can't see the disease. I, Lin Laosan, will consult the emperor again on behalf of my eldest brother and make up for my mistakes. ”

Hearing this, Shen Zongfu was stunned. He slowed down and said to the third master, "Brother, have you thought about it?" ”

"Let's talk about it after this one. You take me to prison, and I ask my eldest brother what the prescription is? The third master said.

"Third master, wait for the night, let's go over. Take a break, take a break. The night passed. Shen Zongfu said as he picked up the third master.

Jiarou had already waited outside the door for a long time with a teacup. She couldn't listen to the conversation between her father and the third uncle, but she knew that it was a matter of human life. She stood in the doorway, hesitating whether to go in or retreat, and her father opened it. Jiarou raised her eyes and looked at the third master.

Shen Zongfu can stick a knife in his brother's ribs, but he can't hurt his children in the slightest. "Your third uncle is tired, don't bother. Go back quickly. ”

This change from the usual attitude, the third master can see it. In the past, Shen Zongfu always tried his best to get Jiarou close to him, but at this moment, he was driving his daughter away.

Jiarou stood still, she looked up at the third master and said, "I'll go prepare lunch." ”

Shen Yishi learned about the Lin family last night, and her first reaction was Jiarou's marriage. When the third master came to visit this morning, Shen Yishi was pacing left and right in the backyard, anxious.

"What do you say this is going on?" Shen Yi discussed with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen.

"Don't talk about that yet. The Lin family is in trouble, don't just think about yourself. The old lady leaned against the head of the bed and said.

"Oh, old lady. Where am I thinking about myself, I am thinking about your granddaughter. ”

"My granddaughter is blessed with a great life, and with her here, the Lin family will turn the corner."

"Oh, old lady, you really have to say that." Shen Yi's hands were folded, and he was chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth.

As soon as these hands were folded, Shen Yishi suddenly remembered a good place: the ancestral hall!

"Old lady, you rest first, I'll go to the ancestral hall to worship. The Lin family's affairs are Jiarou's affairs, and our ancestors can't ignore Jiarou's affairs. As soon as the words fell, Shen Yishi had already stepped on the threshold of the old lady's house.

On the corridor, Shen Yi witnessed the scene just now, and she listened to what her daughter said about preparing lunch. Shen Yi's infatuated appearance made Shen Yi's heart distressed, and she knew that Jiarou would not let go of the third master. It is impossible to persuade her daughter to take her heart, and she is too lazy to say hello to the third master, it is useless, it is better to report to the ancestor first, it is better than anything else.

Before entering the ancestral hall, Shen Yishi suddenly remembered Meiyu, and she thought that even if the Lin family didn't do such a thing, Meiyu would be a hidden danger. Forget it, don't ask your ancestors to bless the Lin family, just ask your ancestors to bless Jiarou and have a good home, no matter who that person is, as long as it's a good home. Shen Yishi, who has never had a sense of security, has already made a choice between these steps.

made a choice, as well as her daughter Shen Jiarou. Jiarou finally seized the opportunity to brush up on the third master's sense of existence, at the time of the Lin family's great disaster, if she didn't give up, wouldn't the third uncle be extremely moved? As long as the third uncle can remember her well, then his deep love will have a home. No matter how hard and tired a woman is, even if she can't respond, it will be worth it if she can change the other party's mind.

The third master didn't go to rest, but followed Jiarou into the kitchen. When the cooks saw the young lady and the guests coming in, they hurriedly persuaded them to go out, and they had to come with any work. Jiarou instructed the arrangement of lunch, everything was what the third master liked, and then went out of the kitchen and took the third master to Jialiu's study.

"It's okay for the three girls to come in." The third master asked.

"It's fine." Jiarou said in her heart, except for missing you every day, everything else is fine. After this place today, I'm afraid I'll miss you day and night in the future.

"What books have you been reading lately?" The third master has nothing to say. He prefers to be with Meiyu, saying whatever he wants, without scruples at all. With Jiarou, you have to follow the rules and etiquette, and you can't trespass.

Jiarou is a smart girl, she heard the coldness in these words, but she didn't complain, the third master and herself haven't spoken for a few days, and after careful calculation, it's been almost half a year. Now such an unfamiliar opening can be understood. In fact, she herself was very embarrassed.

"Third uncle, grandmother's cough seems to be getting better." Jiarou turned her back to the third master and placed the pen and paper on Jialiu's desk.

"That's good." The third master still said very stiffly.

Jiarou wanted to evoke the memories of the third master, and during the time when the medicine was delivered, the two were in love.

"The third uncle's medicine is good, and the grandmother is almost better." Jiarou continued.

The third master didn't speak.

Jiarou waited for the third master to speak the second half of the sentence, but there was no movement for a long time. She had no choice but to continue: "Is it okay for the third master to come in? ”

"Hmm. OK. The third master said.

Then, silence followed.

Jiarou's heart palpitated, she felt panicked and difficult to breathe, so she took a long breath and spit it out softly. However, she comforted herself that something happened to the third master's family, so she was naturally in no mood to greet her.

"Third uncle, then you can rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." Jiarou reluctantly got up and said goodbye.

"Hmm." The third master agreed concisely. He really couldn't think of anything to tell her. Since he met Meiyu two years ago, he and Miss Jiarou have spoken less.

The daughter of the Bingrong family, the girl who reads "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution", is naturally not the angry appearance of the little jasper. Jiarou is not without temper, she took two steps out, and it was not right to think left and right. Then he turned back and whispered to the third master who was in a daze there: "If you have anything to say or not, you can say it directly."

"What?" The third master was shocked by this sudden gentle but powerful anger.

"You've been teasing me for two years." Jiarou said with confidence.

"Girl, what do you mean by that?"

"Or am I thinking too much?" Jiarou asked rhetorically.

"I don't know what you're trying to say." The third master turned his back.

"It wasn't like that two years ago, why did you talk so much back then." Jiarou asked herself, and also asked the third master by the way.

The third master knew that he was at a loss, and when it came to his former relationship with Jiarou, he didn't dare to admit anything about empathy and other love because of Meiyu; Besides, now that the eldest brother needs Jiarou's father's full help, he doesn't dare to deny that he once had a love affair with Jiarou.

Seeing that the third master didn't speak again, Jiarou was afraid that this rare conversation would end hastily, so she mentioned again: "Do you know what I'm talking about?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know what exactly you're trying to say." The third master said casually, and he was a little annoyed and angry.

Jiarou sighed helplessly, "Then you can rest, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

Jiarou, who walked out with tears in her eyes, felt a little satisfaction in her heart. She finally had an unusual conversation with the third master, even if this conversation was not honey-hearted, but being able to quarrel like this also proved that their relationship was not ordinary. In this relationship, Jiarou loves as much as she retreats.

Jiarou is beautiful, although it is not as bright as beautiful jade, but it is very fresh and refined, and it can withstand savoring. She reads a lot of books, and there are many books, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, both men and women. She also knows a little about foreign languages, and she will ask Uncle Gui to find any new foreign books published in Tianjin. Her father was born in the grassland, her mother is from Jiangnan, and Jiarou has a combination of broad and gentle characteristics, so her bright eyes are full of tolerance and tenderness. She is the standard for large families to choose their daughters-in-law, and she breaks through the threshold for proposing. If it weren't for the third master who occupied her heart early, our Jia Rou would have been spoiled by a dashing man.

The third master was indeed fascinated by Jiarou, otherwise, he would not have called the eldest brother to make a marriage contract. It's just that with Meiyu, Jiarou lacks something, but there is not much missing, which is also the reason why the third master did not withdraw from the marriage.

The third master understands Jiarou's unhappiness, this matter is indeed not authentic. But at this moment, he is not in the mood or energy to explain anything to Jiarou, anyway, sooner or later he will use practical actions to show Jiarou, that is, sooner or later he will marry Jiarou's dignified eight-lift sedan chair back. Now that she's making trouble, let her make trouble. What the third master needs to think about is how to tell the eldest brother at night.

Night came as scheduled, and the tall third master and Shen Zongfu were waiting outside the prison. Seeing that the two of them were so conspicuous, the person who answered inside hurriedly waved their hands and asked them to come in quickly.

"You two are piercing!" The cell boss complained.

"How's the big brother?" The third master asked urgently. The third master, who never talks much, cares about chaos.

The cell boss didn't lift his head, didn't say a word, he didn't want to answer such a heartless question at all. Are there any good people in it? The cell boss walked briskly inside, about to run.

"Hurry up. Marl's. The cell boss grumbled.

"Done, done, soon." Shen Zongfu accompanied the smiling face.

The eldest brother was very surprised to see the third brother come to visit again so soon. He quickly got up from the ground and shouted in a low voice: "Third brother." ”

The eldest brother was already very embarrassed, his hair was messy, his face was sallow, his face was greasy, and his clothes were full of wrinkles. When the third master saw the appearance of the eldest brother, his heart twitched.

"Big brother," the third master can't say anything like you take good care of yourself, in this realm, even if you don't get beheaded and waited, if you stay for a few days, you will be boiled to death. "Big brother, tell me what kind of medicine was on that prescription at that time."

The eldest brother didn't understand why the third brother asked this, but he knew that the third brother must have asked for a reason. The eldest brother tried to recall the prescriptions and repeat them one by one.

"Cheng, I'll figure it out." After listening to these prescriptions, the third master nodded.

"Third brother, what are you going to do?" The eldest brother asked in a panic.

"Big brother, I don't think this recipe can eat the dead." The third master said.

"You can't die if you die, but the medicine is poisonous, and it lasts for many years." Big brother said.

"It doesn't matter that much. Big brother, Brother Shen helped us get through the relationship, I will make up for it on your behalf, and then go to Yingtai for consultation. ”

"Third brother, no matter who he is, it's a life. We can't harm other people's lives for the sake of our own lives. The eldest brother persuaded.

"Big brother, I'm measured."

"Alright, withdraw, withdraw." The cell boss came to coax people.

"Third brother, third brother." The eldest brother reluctantly called him. The third master looked back as he walked, just like when he was a child, when the eldest brother went out to buy medicine, he always stood at the gate and shouted that the eldest brother would come back early.

The third master gave the cell leader a large ingot of silver, and bowed vigorously to thank him. The cell boss closed the door without raising his head.

"Brother Shen, hey, thank you for your kindness. Go back. The third master arched his hand towards Shen Zongfu.

"Okay, you tread carefully." Shen Zongfu instructed.

A few days later, the third master stepped into the Forbidden City under the waiting of the eunuch.

Crossing a small stone bridge across the water, the third master arrived at the small island called Yingtai. Even if the third master was fully prepared in his heart, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. The room was tiny, the dΓ©cor was shabby, and the paper on the windows was even torn in a few places.

"You are the third master of the Lin family?" Gonggong Li on the island half-bowed and asked with a grin.

"Exactly. Greetings to you. "The third master gave up his hand." What is the name of my father-in-law? ”

"Third master, you can just call me Xiao Lizi." Gonggong Li said with a grin.

"Master Lee." The third master nodded and saluted him.

"Don't, don't, I'm a eunuch. If you want to be polite, just call me Gonggong Li. ”

"Cheng, Father-in-law Li." The third master did not show a trace of a smile. He hoped to see the patient as soon as possible, and he didn't care about these polite greetings.

"Then you come with me." Gonggong Li turned around and took a few steps to the right, pushing open the door of the back room.

The back room was darker, and there was a pair of shoes next to the bed, yellow satin, but not very clean. The third master hesitated whether to advance or retreat, and Li Gonggong signaled him to enter. The third master didn't move, Gonggong Li smiled and walked in first, and then stood by the bed and waited for the third master.

The weird room, the weird Father-in-law Li, the third master is even a little scared, what will be lying on the bed? The room was so dark, he said to himself, why not light an oil lamp, give a little light and give some temperature, don't be so cold, like the corpse in the basement of the Baiwangshan Medical Center.

Seeing that the third master was not moving, Gonggong Li coughed, "Please, Doctor Lin." ”

"The doctor of the Lin family again?" A question came out of the bed.

"Back to the emperor, exactly." Gonggong Li bowed respectfully and replied.

"Why doesn't anyone come to the hospital?" The man on the bed continued to ask.

"Dr. Lin, please." Gonggong Li didn't answer, he urged the third master to hurry over.

The third master calmed down, held his breath, and walked forward, until he walked to the patient, before taking a breath. The third master saw that the patient was half-lying behind the bed, thin and pale, but in good spirits.

The third master has long been affected by the surrounding scenery, and has forgotten where this place is and who this person is. He just stood so straight and straight, forgetting to bow down.

"Kneel." Gonggong Li reminded.

"Oh." The third master hurriedly knelt down, muttering those words in his mouth.

"You also belong to the Lin family?" The patient asked.

"Yes, I'm the third child of the Lin family." The third master knelt and replied.

"It was your uncle before." The person on the bed sat up, put his legs down, and put his feet half-in his shoes.

Gonggong Li hurriedly said, "Uncle Lin is sick. ”

The third master looked down at Father-in-law Li, and Father-in-law Li also looked up at the third master and said, "Uncle Lin has seen it?" ”

"See you well, see you well." The third master understood and hurried to respond.

"Let's be flat." The patient said.

The third master got up, began to give the patient a pulse, looked at the tongue coating again, and asked about the current situation. The third master thought, just like the eldest brother said, there is really no need to take any medicine.

The third master was just about to speak, but Gonggong Li interrupted him and said, "You go and open a prescription." ”

"Wait, what's wrong with me?" The patient asked.

The third master was just about to reply, the eunuch who led him into the Forbidden City walked into the house, he smiled evilly, stared at the third master fiercely, the third master was shocked by the murderous aura projected by the eyes, he mustered up the courage and said a few words: "I wrote it all on the square." ”

"When you come back, I ask you what kind of illness I am." The patient screamed loudly.

The eunuch closed the door with a smile and left Gonggong Li and the patient in the back room. Then he took out the prescription from his arms, handed it to the third master, and then turned around and left.

The third master took the prescription and looked at it carefully, he hesitated, and his hand holding the pen shook slightly. Father-in-law Li came out of the back room and saw that the third master was very hesitant.

"Dr. Lin, what are your concerns?" Gonggong Li asked.

"Well, nothing. It's nothing. The third master picked up the pen and prepared to sign. But the moment he put pen to paper, he still paused.

Gonggong Li asked, "Uncle is okay?" ”

The third master raised his head, looked at Gonggong Li, and whispered, "It's not good." ”

"Your Lin family are all good people." Gonggong Li remembered the last time the Lin family refused to sign.

"Hmm." The third master agreed heavily.

"You asked to come in and ask for another consultation yourself?"

"Hmm."

"For the whole family?" Gonggong Li asked.

"Hmm." The third master did not shy away from his motives at all.

This makes sense and is logical. Come on, sign it. Gonggong Li said.

The third master straightened up, he looked at Gonggong Li in surprise, and was wondering, only to see Gonggong Li hand over a note from the palm of his hand and quickly stuff it into his left hand.

"Sign it, Dr. Lin." Gonggong Li continued.

The third master clenched the note in his left hand and signed with a pen in his right hand.

Gonggong Li took the signed house and said loudly: "Doctor Lin, we will take the medicine according to your prescription." ”

"Drink plenty of water." The third master whispered, "Drink more water." He stared at Gonggong Li with his eyes and told him repeatedly.

Gonggong Li smiled and nodded.

Bidding farewell to Father-in-law Li, the third master returned the same way. Along the way, the eunuch who gave him the prescription smiled, and when he left the palace gate, the eunuch said to the third master, "Your uncle should have arrived home." ”

The third master hurriedly knelt down for the eunuch to kowtow. The eunuch twisted and said, "Oh, third master, you are polite." After speaking, he pinched the third master's arm.

No one noticed that the third master's left hand had been clenched tightly, and when he got into the carriage, he didn't dare to let go. It wasn't until he returned to Dashilar that he saw his family gathered in the main hall of the north house around his eldest brother to ask for warmth, he didn't go in to join in the fun, and went back to his house directly, closed the door, and opened his left hand.

"Tomorrow at noon, the northeast gate of the Old Summer Palace." The payment was made by Father-in-law Li.
