Chapter 27: Change and Immutability
Because the salt merchants were deeply aware of their fate and were closely linked to the policies of the court, in order to grasp the news of the court in time, they had their own set of news transmission channels, which were faster than the arrival of the court.
After Lin Jin mastered this set of channels, she carried out a little reform, not only to make its transmission speed faster, but also to make the information not limited to the affairs of the court, but also to include business information in various places, but it was the first time for her to use it to send family letters.
Opening the letter written by Yuou, Lin Jin looked at it slowly.
Regarding the situation on the road, the letter only outlined that Daiyu was in a bad mood because she was away from home, and she was a little seasick and unwell, and because she was in a hurry, the food was inevitably a little unpalatable, so she was a little emaciated, but she was not sick.
Eyes fell on the three words "not sick", Lin Jin couldn't help sighing, in this way, in fact, Daiyu's health is not particularly bad. You must know that in ancient times, I don't know how many healthy people fell ill because of the long distance, and even gave up their lives because of it, but Daiyu went all the way to the capital unharmed.
……
After a period of hurrying, Daiyu and his entourage finally arrived in Tongzhou, and after abandoning the boat and landing on the shore, there was a sedan chair of Rongguofu on the wharf and a vehicle pulling luggage for a long time.
Different from Daiyu, who was instilled by Jia Min since she was a child, the Jia family is different from other families, Lin Jin mentioned the Jia family, and her words were full of disdain, saying that although it put on a pomp and circumstance, it looked quite capable of bluffing, but in the era of "three generations to see food, four generations to see through, and five generations to read poetry and books", the Jia family, which had just made a career in this dynasty, could not be called a family at all.
After listening to it a lot, although Yuou didn't dare to take the Jia family seriously like Lin Jin, he couldn't help but lose a lot of awe, so he saw that Daiyu had an extraordinary degree of food and clothing because of the third-class servants she had seen recently, not to mention that now that she had arrived at her home, she paid attention to it step by step, always caring, and refused to say a word easily, and walked one more step, for fear of being laughed at by others, she persuaded: "The girl doesn't have to put on this posture of being ready for battle."
Although the girl's grandmother's house is different from other families, is it still higher than the palace? Even if it is royal, it is not according to the rules and etiquette. What's more, the Lin family is not only the family of Zhong Ding, but also a family of scholars, and they do not lose the Jia family at all.
Forgive me for being offended, the girl's visit to her grandmother's house also represents the Lin family. The girl behaved like this, it can't be said that people would look down on her, and at that time, not only the girl's face would be lost, but even the Lin family's face would be lost. ”
Daiyu smiled, didn't speak, and secretly said in her heart, it is precisely because I am not only myself, but also represent the Lin family, so I have to be cautious, but let Yuou say this, her nervousness is a lot less.
As for how Daiyu entered Jiafu, how rigorous and stable her actions were, and how thoughtful she was in terms of etiquette,...... With Cao Gong's huge pen in front, Yuou's description is inevitably a little inferior.
Because of Lin Jin's intervention, although the situation is mostly the same as Cao Gong's narrative, it is still a little different.
The same is that Daiyu met with the Jia family including Jia's mother in Rongqing Hall, and went to visit the two uncles, and the relationship with the two uncles in private, as well as the eating and other affairs are roughly the same; The difference is that Daiyu took the ginseng Yangrong pill because of her health, and when she ate tea and saw Baoyu after meals, the situation was slightly deviated.
Daiyu is not considered to have a serious illness, but with the name of a "disease", in fact, it is not a good thing for everyone who has not left the cabinet, so about her physical condition, even if it is Jia's mother, Jia Min has not heard a trace of wind with her.
Therefore, before Daiyu left home, Lin Jin thought about reminding her that when the Jia family asked her about her physical condition, she should not say everything, but answer selectively. For example, it can be admitted that the health is not very good, but things like "I took medicine when I knew how to eat and drink, and I have not stopped until today, and how many doctors have been asked to dispense medicine, but it has not worked." And "I'm afraid that her illness will not be better for the rest of her life." Don't say such words, but when the words came to her lips and after thinking about it again, she couldn't say it after all.
The reason is that Daiyu's body and face are cowardly, even if she doesn't admit it, others can see at a glance that she is not in good health. She has to stay in Jia's house for a while, what is the specific situation of her body, this time is enough for the Jia family to know everything clearly, and there is no way to hide it; Moreover, although Daiyu has never met the Jia family, after Jia Min's indoctrination, she has a good idea of the Jia family before she experiences it herself. Lin Jin and her are not the same mother after all, once she says it, it will not only expose her distrust and lack of good feelings towards the Jia family, but also may make Daiyu feel that she is suspected of provoking the relationship between her and the Jia family.
But the words didn't come out, it didn't mean that Lin Jin didn't do anything. Because some people in later generations analyzed that Daiyu's death may be related to eating the "Ginseng Yangrong Pill" prepared by Jiafu, so before Daiyu left home, she asked the doctor to prepare some pills for Daiyu that could be used on the road, and asked the doctor to come to the door, and by the way, she would treat Daiyu again.
After the doctor diagnosed Daiyu's pulse, Lin Jin originally wanted to ask the doctor if Daiyu's body needed to eat ginseng all the time, but without waiting for her to ask, the doctor took the first step and asked Daiyu to stop the ginseng Yangrong pill she was taking, and even pulled a lot of pharmacology to explain why she did it.
After listening to the doctor's words, Lin Jin came to the conclusion that ginseng Yangrong Pill is not bad, and Daiyu is not wrong to eat it, but in the long run, it is good to stop it temporarily.
Because the medicinal effect of ginseng Yangrong Pill is too strong, after eating this, Daiyu will take other medicines that replenish vitality and qi and blood, and the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced. Once there is another situation like Jia Min's death, Daiyu almost went with her because of her grief, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be no medicine available.
For example, when people caught a cold in later generations, there were three treatments, from shallow to deep, which were medicine, injections and infusions. If you catch a cold, you can directly skip the two methods of taking medicine and injections, and use the treatment method of infusion as soon as you come up, then if you catch a cold in the future, even if you want to treat the disease by taking medicine or injections, I am afraid that it will not be effective, and you have to have an infusion.
Daiyu's situation of eating ginseng Yangrong pills is somewhat similar to the situation mentioned above, not that this medicine, she has no effect after taking it, but she is still young, although her body is weak, but all the functions of the body are in a state of growth, and it is not like the old man is declining, so this is why many children are not in good health when they are young, and they can be called sick seedlings, but after adulthood, they will get better Part of the reason, therefore, Daiyu's body needs to take medicine to recuperate, but there is no need to enlarge the trick as soon as it comes up. And with Daiyu's growth and development, the medicine she takes is not fixed, and it must be adjusted at any time according to her physical condition.
After understanding this, without Lin Jin saying anything, Lin Ruhai immediately asked the doctor to re-prescribe medicine to Daiyu and replace the medicine of ginseng Yangrong pill.
Therefore, after listening to Daiyu's situation, Jia's mother did not directly dispense medicine to her, but ordered Sister Feng to ask the doctor to come to Daiyu to diagnose and treat her, and then dispense tonic medicine for self-nourishment.
On the point of eating tea after dinner, Cao Gong specifically mentioned the difference between the Lin family and the Jia family.
In the original time and space, although it was healthier for the Lin family to eat tea after dinner than the Jia family's practice, after Daiyu arrived in Jia's mansion, she saw that many of the rules here were not like those at home, so she had to be more easy-going and follow the rules of the Jia family.
In this life, Lin Jin knew that as a child, it was not suitable to drink tea, if you had to drink it, you could drink some weak tea in moderation, and the concentration of tea for adults was one-third, so when Jia Min was still there, he put forward this theory.
Although her statement was not strongly supported by the doctor, the doctor also said that tea can be an antidote. Therefore, out of consideration for the health of a pair of children, Jia Min not only has restrictions on drinking tea at home, but even when he goes out as a guest, he is afraid that they will hurt themselves because of drinking tea. ”
Daiyu, who was taught by Jia Min and repeatedly told by Lin Jin, from the perspective of her own health, did not drink tea immediately after the meal like the Jia family, but just touched her lips and made a show, and put down the tea bowl.
As for the meeting between Daiyu and Baoyu, Baoyu gave the "butterfly" the word for Daiyu, but the plot of Baoyu falling jade still couldn't be avoided.
As for the residence, in the original time and space, Daiyu and Baoyu lived in Jia's mother's blue yarn cupboard, one inside and one outside. But this time, Daiyu not only brought a lot of luggage, but also in addition to a big girl like Yuou, there were also two old grandmothers of the same age as her nurse Wang Mama, so Baoyu could only move to Jia's mother's suite to live in the warm pavilion.
……
Seeing that the scene of Baoyu falling into jade was still staged, Lin Jin was very surprised. You must know that in order to prevent this plot from happening, she specially found a piece of jade for Daiyu, so that when Baoyu asked, there would be another jade plot because "no one has me". As a result, even if Daiyu has jade, the matter of falling jade is still staged.
She was speechless about this. She felt that even if Mrs. Wang had a good impression of Daiyu at the beginning, after this incident, not only would her great favor be lost, but she would also have dislike for Daiyu.
What's more, from Mrs. Wang's words to keep Daiyu away from Baoyu, it can be seen that she actually doesn't have a good impression of Daiyu, plus as soon as the incident of falling jade comes out, I'm afraid that Mrs. Wang won't like Daiyu in this life.
In this regard, Lin Jin had to say that the historical inertia was too strong to prevent Mrs. Wang's dislike for Daiyu from deepening further.
