Chapter 6 The Prince's Night Visit to the Lin Mansion
On the first day that Lin Daiyu returned to Lin Mansion, she had already found Lin Ruhai's prescription, and read the prescription prescribed by the doctor, which was full of medicines that moistened the lungs and suppressed cough, cleared the heart and calmed the nerves, such as Codonopsis, Astragalus, Atractylodes, Poria Cocos, etc., but the effect of treating tuberculosis was too slow, and Western medicine was effective.
For example, she has only been taking medicine for two weeks, and she already feels that the effect is very significant, she can sleep at night, cough less, and no longer have night sweats, especially her appetite is very good, and she has grown a lot of meat.
Early the next morning, Lin Daiyu finished freshening up, and came to Lin Ruhai's room to wait.
"Father, this is the pill that my grandmother asked me to bring you, made by the palace, and it is very good for your illness. My grandmother instructed me to serve you every day and take your medicine on time. Lin Daiyu stood beside the bed, holding a small disk in her hand, and two black pills were placed on the plate, and said to Lin Ruhai who was lying on the bed.
The little girl helped Lin Ruhai up to sit down, and found a big furry jacket to put on Lin Ruhai.
"Trouble your grandmother." Lin Ruhai said and took the pill.
Lin Daiyu served Lin Ruhai again, rinsed his mouth with warm water, and helped him lie down to rest.
In fact, this pill was concocted by Lin Daiyu herself in bed last night with ginseng Yangrong pills and Western medicine for tuberculosis. Most of the pills of the ancients contained honey, so they were sticky and soft, Lin Daiyu broke a pill, divided it into two halves, and then put the western medicine in it and then pinched it into a pill, from the outside, there was nothing greasy at all.
The two of them said some things about the aftermath, Lin Ronghai focused on asking Lin Daiyu's life in Jiafu, Lin Daiyu naturally reported good news and not bad news, but just said that she was very loved by Jia's mother in Jiafu, and her uncle, aunt, brothers and sisters were very good to him, so that Lin Ruhai could rest assured.
Lin Daiyu saw that Lin Ruhai was a little tired, so she said goodbye, and asked the girls to serve well, and then returned to her house.
Lin Daiyu also wrote a few recipes and asked Zijuan to send them to the kitchen, and asked the people in the kitchen to cook nourishing soup for Lin Ruhai according to the recipe.
After a month of careful recuperation, Lin Ruhai's body gradually improved, and he was able to dress and sit up by himself, and walked a few steps inside and outside the house.
Everyone in the Lin Mansion was happy, some said that the doctor Aunt Xie found was skilled, and some said that the young lady was happy to go home, so she was in good health.
Daiyu just smiled when she heard this, and still served the decoction carefully every day.
It is said that when the lamp was in charge one day, Lin Ruhai was just about to rest, and Steward Xie came to report: "Master, the prince is visiting." And a letter in both hands.
Lin Ruhai opened the letter and read it, then said, "Please!" ”
When Steward Xie led Wang Gongzi to Lin Ruhai's courtyard, Lin Ruhai was already standing on the steps under the corridor and waiting.
When the prince entered the door, Lin Ruhai walked a few steps, bowed and saluted: "I don't know if the prince has arrived, I have missed the distance, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”
The boy stretched out his hand and took Lin Ruhai's hand and said, "Lin Yushi is too polite. ”
The two entered the house hand in hand, followed by Wang Gongzi were two men in black, one of whom was holding a brocade box in his hand, he put the brocade box on the table, turned around and went out, and stood by the door with another man in black hanging his hands.
The little girl brought the tea, Lin Ruhai invited the prince to sit down, waved the little girl out, and closed the door.
"Chen Lin is like a sea to see His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Ruhai bowed down, and the boy stretched out his hand to help him and smiled: "Lin Yushi, please get up." Zhilin Yushi has been in poor health recently, so I came to greet him. He took the brocade box on the table, opened it and said to Lin Ronghai: "This is the Poria cocos cream given to me by the officials of eastern Guangdong yesterday, it is said that it is the Poria cocos and medicine produced under the roots of the pines and cypresses for thousands of years. the second with milk; By all means, it's better to boil plain water. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xie, thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has recently recovered greatly." Lin Donghai sat sideways in a chair.
"That's good, Lin Yushi must take care of his body more, and his health can help me achieve great things." The prince smiled.
It turned out that this prince was the prince of this dynasty, surnamed Li Mingzhi, sixteen years old, was the old son of Emperor Li Ting and the empress, he had two elder brothers and two sisters, but unfortunately died early, so he was deeply favored by the emperor after he was born.
This Li Zhi is not only handsome, but also talented, the old emperor has high hopes for him, he studied and practiced martial arts when he was three years old, you think that the emperor Lao'er invited the master for the child, that is naturally the first in the world. Therefore, although Li Zhi is still young, he can be regarded as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
"My father's body is getting weaker and weaker, and the second emperor's uncle's desire to covet the throne has not changed, and I have been in close contact with Prince Teng recently, and I am very worried." The prince sighed. This prince Teng Naidu is a descendant of the prince of the county under the command of Taiwei, and is the brother of Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, and Wang Zisheng, that is, Jia Tanchun's uncle who hangs on his lips at every turn, in fact, her real uncle is Aunt Zhao's brother Zhao Guoji, but she doesn't want to admit it, this is also the sorrow of the concubine.
Wang Ziteng was the envoy of the Jingying Festival at the beginning, and then he was promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and was ordered to check the borders, and then he was promoted to the capital of the nine provinces. He is a powerful figure in the imperial court who has military power and heavy troops, and is a veritable military and political dignitary, if he joins forces with the second emperor's uncle, the old emperor's throne is really in jeopardy.
"And Najia Yucun originally thought that he was a character, so he was promoted so that he could be used by me in the future, who knew that although he was talented, he was a villain, an unjust official, bending the law for personal gain, annihilating human nature, and taking revenge, and arbitrarily sentenced the gourd case. Such an insidious and cunning traitor is afraid that it will be bad for you and me in the future, so it is better to stay away from him. The prince said to Lin Ruhai again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable, and the minister must remember it." Lin Ruhai Road.
"The minister has something to ask His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Ruhai got up and knelt down to the prince.
"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. Get up and speak. The prince stretched out his hand to help Lin Ruhai.
"The minister serves the prince, his liver and brain are smeared, and he will never give up, but the minister has one thing that he can't rest assured, that is, the minister has a weak daughter Lin Daiyu who is now living in Jiafu, and the minister is only afraid that Jiafu will cause disaster to Daiyu in the future, please take pity on the loyalty of the minister and take care of my daughter." Lin Ruhai Road.
"Don't worry, I will send a few people to Jiafu to protect Ling Ai." The prince said as he untied a double dragon jade pendant from his waist, "I will also give her this double dragon jade pendant, and seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the prince himself." ”
"The little girl is now in the cold house, I immediately ordered someone to bring her over and thank His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Ruhai thanked him for his double dragon jade pendant.
Then Lin Ruhai walked over, opened the door and shouted to the girl, hurry up and bring Lin Daiyu.
