Chapter 229: Father-in-law
As soon as Lin Daiyu got out of the carriage, she hurriedly took Jia Cong to Lin Ruhai's residence to visit Lin Ruhai.
As soon as I entered Lin Ruhai's room, I smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
When I came to the room, I saw Lin Ruhai lying on the bed, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, his body was thin, his cheekbones were high, and he looked dying.
As soon as Lin Daiyu saw Lin Ruhai's appearance, her heart was like a knife, she couldn't bear it anymore, threw herself in front of the bed, and cried loudly.
"Daddy, my daughter is back to see you, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look at your daughter. ”
When Jia Cong saw Lin Ruhai's appearance, he not only frowned, but he didn't expect to be so sick, this is really dying.
I can't help but feel a little worried, it's all like this, can I really save it?
At this moment, Jia Cong was really a little uncertain.
Jia Cong originally pondered that Lin Ruhai was in his forties, it should not be a serious illness, the biggest possibility should be poisoning, his aunt Jia Min died at a young age, and the death of the little cousin was estimated to be an accident.
Lin Ruhai has served as the salt patrol for many years, and he should have offended those salt merchants and those illegal salt dealers.
even, offended the backers behind them.
If these people want to get greater profits and win over Lin Ruhai, there is only one way, to move away from this stumbling block, or to ruin him.
These people do everything for money.
From these aspects, Lin Ruhai should also be poisoned, including his aunt Jia Min, who should or may have been poisoned by a chronic poison.
If Lin Ruhai was really poisoned, he still had a trace of confidence and rescued him.
The reason why he is so sure is because Jia Cong still has a treasure hidden in his hand.
It was a pair of vermilion-eyed ice toads that I got from the barbarian Great Khan old slave when he killed him. This kind of toad, with a snow-white body, lives on the snow-capped mountains, but its eyes are red and red, and it looks very good-looking.
Zhu Jing Ice Toad is the nemesis of poison, no matter what poison he is in, as long as he does not die at that time, he can suck it out and cure the poison.
At the same time, this thing is also a healing elixir, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is still a breath at the time and it is not completely dead, then, as long as you take the Zhuyan Ice Toad, the medicine will naturally heal the injury.
At that time, when he got this pair of treasures, Jia Cong was also ecstatic, and did not make a noise, but secretly put it away, and no one told him, not even Qingwen and Han Nianci, who were following him, didn't know.
It's not that I don't believe them, but this kind of healing and life-saving treasure, once the news is revealed and reaches the emperor's ears, he will definitely ask for it, and he can't keep it at all.
The emperor controls the world, is rich all over the world, lacks nothing, and what they want most is to save their lives, that is, to live forever for thousands of years.
Once you know that there is such a life-saving treasure born, you will naturally not let it go, and you will definitely want to keep it for yourself.
As a courtier, he couldn't refuse the emperor's request at all.
If you dare not give it, maybe someone will be sent to raid your home and destroy your door in the next second.
Therefore, the existence of this pair of Zhuyan Ice Toad, so far, only Jia Cong knows about it.
usually hides in the secret compartment of the secret room, but when I went out this time, I quietly took one and put it on my body in case of emergency.
Later, I will ask Han Nianci to come over first, diagnose Lin Ruhai, see what the situation is, and then make a decision.
If Lin Ruhai didn't feel that he couldn't do it, he probably wouldn't let Lin Daiyu come back.
asked Lin Daiyu to come back this time, probably because she planned to see her daughter for the last time.
Lin Ruhai heard Daiyu's cry and slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the daughter in front of him, she is about to grow into a big girl, her face is ruddy, her body is strong, and she is no longer as weak as she was a child, and she can't help but smile with satisfaction.
As long as her daughter can live well, she can be regarded as her dead mother.
Holding Lin Daiyu's hand, he said gently: "Yu'er, don't be sad, it's okay for your father, if you can see that you are healthy, you will be relieved to be your father, you have to be well." ”
Lin Daiyu choked up and said, "Daddy, why did you tell me when you were so sick, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Let your daughter come back and take care of you. ”
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Good daughter, you are not a doctor, what can I do if I call you back, besides, there is no shortage of people around me to serve, let you know, but it will make you frightened and uncomfortable."
You child has been weak since childhood, if there is another good one, how can I be worthy of your mother under Jiuquan? ”
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was even more sad and sad.
The way my father looks now, it's really scary, in case there is a bad guy, and he will be left alone in this world.
"Daddy, my daughter is in good health now, she is not weak at all, I can take good care of you."
Lin Ruhai nodded and looked at Jia Cong on the side.
I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face as resolute as a knife and an axe, black and thick hair, a straight and slender figure, and the whole person looked sunny and handsome.
If it is expected to be good, this is his nephew Jia Cong, that is, his future son-in-law, and he is really a talent.
For his son-in-law, Lin Ruhai is very satisfied.
I have heard of Jia Cong's reputation before, on the battlefield of Liaodong, he has won a hundred battles, never defeated, and reproduces the majesty of the ancestor Ning Rong and the second duke.
It can be said that the blue is better than the blue.
He was also happy that the Jia family had descendants.
Later, I received a letter from my eldest brother, proposing to get married, and I couldn't help but hesitate.
Although Jia Cong is already a young marquis and is famous all over the world, but after all, he is a military general, if he has a vulgar appearance and can't get into the eyes of his daughter, he rashly agreed, wouldn't he let his daughter be wronged?
So, a few henchmen were sent to Beijing to investigate.
After learning about Jia Cong's character, temperament, appearance, etc., he agreed to this family affair.
Seeing Lin Ruhai looking at him, Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Little nephew Jia Cong, meet Uncle Lin." ”
Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't be polite, I have heard some about you, you have done well, you have ambition, and you have won glory for your ancestors." ”
Jia Cong said: "Uncle Lin praised it falsely, I just want to find a way out for myself, so as to shelter my family from the wind and rain." ”
Lin Ruhai is still very satisfied with Jia Cong's answer, at least he is a person who cares about his family.
His own daughter will not suffer if she follows him.
"You have this idea, it means that you are a person who cares about the family, you are better than me at this point, Yu'er will follow you in the future, I will be relieved, I hope you can treat Yu'er well, and Yu'er will be handed over to you in the future."
When Jia Cong heard this, he quickly knelt down in front of the bed.
swore and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Sister Lin, spoil her, love her for a lifetime, and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Lin Daiyu heard that he even called his father-in-law, gave him a fierce look, and lowered her eyes a little shyly.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Okay, okay, so I'll rest assured." ”
Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, what kind of disease do you have?" Didn't Your Majesty send two imperial physicians over? Isn't there anything they can do? ”
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "These doctors are all flickering, and they don't know if they haven't found any symptoms, or if they are afraid that I know the disease, in short, they haven't made a clear statement." ”
When Jia Cong heard this, he frowned, if he couldn't even find out the cause, then he would be a fart.
This treatment is about prescribing the right medicine.
If you don't even know the symptoms, how can you talk about treatment?
Jia Cong was a little curious, is this a disease or poisoning?
Thinking of this, he stepped forward directly, put his hand on Lin Ruhai's vein, and helped him check the pulse.
Lin Ruhai was a little surprised when he saw this: "Brother Cong, do you still know how to do medical skills?" ”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law only understands a little, not proficient, I brought a doctor this time, and I will ask her to help you take a look and see if you can find the symptoms." ”
Jia Cong calmed down and carefully sensed Lin Ruhai's pulse.
I found that this pulse is so messy, there are problems in many parts of the body, this is really a serious illness, no wonder other people are talking about it, if you can't find the root of the disease, you can only treat the head with a headache, and the foot can not play a big role.
After feeling it for a long time, Jia Cong also found nothing.
This is often a matter of speculation, judging what the condition is based on physical symptoms.
Although I have studied a lot of medical skills, I have very little experience, and I am not better than others in diagnosis.
Jia Cong estimated that the doctors did not find the source of the disease.
Seeing Jia Cong open his eyes, Lin Daiyu said eagerly: "Brother Cong, what have you found, have you found out what kind of disease my father has?" ”
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "It's hard to judge, I'll let Nian Ci come over and see if she can diagnose it." ”
Lin Daiyu's face was dark after hearing this, is there really no way?
"Brother Cong, I'm counting on you now, do you have to help me cure my father?"
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin, although my father-in-law's condition is very serious, we still have time, and we will definitely get better, don't worry." ”
Lin Ruhai said: "Life and death are fate, don't be too forceful, just let everything go naturally." ”
At this time, Jia Lian walked in and said with a complaining face: "Brother Cong, Sister Lin, you two don't wait for me, you just came first, don't let Uncle Lin think that I have neglected him." ”
After speaking, he stepped forward and saluted Lin Ruhai: "Little nephew Jia Lian, meet Aunt Lin." ”
Lin Ruhai said: "No need to be polite, my illness has made your brothers suffer." ”
Jia Lian said: "Uncle Lin, don't say that, you are an elder, and we should come to see you." ”
Although he doesn't have any great skills, Jia Lian is still very good at dealing with people and mundane things, which is also one of his great advantages.
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Sister Lin misses her father-in-law, she came as soon as she got out of the car, and I can only follow her, it's not that I don't wait for the second brother." ”
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this, his brother is really amazing, he just came, and even his father-in-law was called.
looked at Lin Daiyu, saw that she glared at Jia Cong with a shy, did not object, and looked at Lin Ruhai again, although her face was not good, she was obviously in a good mood.
Several people talked again, and seeing that Lin Ruhai was a little tired, they left his room.
The three of them came outside, and Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin, now that you are back at home, you not only have to take care of your father-in-law, but also take care of the back house, your father-in-law is seriously ill and can't take care of things, you are the only master of the family, and you need to be in charge of many things." ”
Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "Brother Cong, I haven't done any of these things, there should be someone in charge in this back house, why do we need to insert a lever?" ”
Jia Lian said: "Sister Lin, my aunt is gone, and my uncle has not remarried, then you will be respected in this back house, even those aunts in the house must be dominated by you, and you are the mistress of the back house." ”
Jia Cong said: "The second brother is right, since you are back, then you are the mistress of this back house, you have to declare your sovereignty, so as not to be underestimated, you can learn if you haven't done it, during this time, let the mandarin duck follow you."
Mandarin duck has followed the old lady for many years, and she is still very familiar with this aspect of things, if you don't understand, you can ask her, Ningguo Mansion will also need you to take care of it in the future, and now it's time to practice your hands.
Also, during this time, your diet is responsible for the people I brought, in addition, no matter who sent it, you don't want to eat it, let Nianci check all the food that was sent. ”
Lin Daiyu said with a puzzled face: "Brother Cong, are you making too much of a fuss, can the people in the family still harm me?" ”
Jia Cong sneered: "They are not your family, in this family, except for your father-in-law, who will not harm you, others are not sure, my aunt is gone early, and my father-in-law is also dying now, don't you feel strange?"
My father-in-law was this salt patrol, but he offended countless salt merchants and the people behind them, these people are rich and powerful, and it is very easy to buy the people in the house, so we have to guard against it, I don't want you to have anything to do.
The female guards brought this time, and the mandarin ducks and others, are all based on you, at your disposal, if someone in the house deliberately makes trouble and goes against you, although the punishment is enough, these can be handed over to Erya to do. ”
Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "I know, Brother Cong, I will listen to you, I will try my best to do a good job, then my father's illness, you need more snacks, I can only count on you now." ”
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, that's also my father-in-law, when my father-in-law rests for a while, I will take Nianci to diagnose him again, and then, discuss my father-in-law's condition with the two imperial doctors, brainstorm ideas, and see if I can find the cause." ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Well, with Brother Cong here, I'm much more at ease, that, can you not guard the call of your father-in-law, it's embarrassing to hear." ”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Father-in-law likes me to call him that, if I change my name to Uncle Lin again, he will definitely be unhappy, since you said it, then I will still call Uncle Lin outside in the future." ”
Lin Daiyu snorted and said, "I've never seen someone as cheeky as you." ”
