A hundred flavors of life

In the Yanfu Palace, Song Huizong was painting. Around him, four of the five eunuchs arrived. In addition to Tong Guan, who had already left the palace to take charge of the Privy Council, Liang Shicheng, who was known as the hidden prime minister, Yang Jian, who held the title of Taiwei, and the eunuch in charge of the palace. Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, were all waiting at his side.

When Zhao Ji put down the last stroke, his strokes continued in one stroke, and Liang Shicheng on the side quickly praised:

"it is good!"

Zhao Ji shook his hand, and a little ink almost fell on the paper. Liang Shicheng reached out to catch it, and it fell on the palm of his hand.

Zhao Ji, whose face had turned from clear to cloudy at first, turned clear again when he saw that the painting was fine, which made several other eunuchs who wanted to see Liang Shicheng's joke secretly lamenting in their hearts.

Zhao Ji's face softened slightly, but there was also a look of displeasure. Unexpectedly, Liang Shicheng's next words made him completely happy.

Liang Shicheng said: "Originally, I thought that Guan Jia was in a bad state of painting today, and the flowers and birds he painted were lifeless. Who would have thought that Guan Jia's last brush strokes connected with each other and landed on the bird's pupil, which was really the finishing touch on the bird. Ah, with just these two strokes, the flowers and birds in the painting suddenly came alive in the eyes of the slave. This caused the slave to lose his manners in front of the king. Although he was inevitably punished by the officials, the slave could be punished if he could see the master's wonderful strokes today. It’s worth a meal!”

After he finished speaking, he knelt down and begged for punishment: "Please let the officials punish you!"

The other three eunuchs secretly spat in their hearts at the same time, how shameless.

Zhao Ji's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile. He was already extremely proud of his painting skills, and he showed them well today. He believed that this flower and bird painting was a rare and top-quality work among his life's works. Listening to what Liang Shicheng said, It felt like every word was spoken in his heart.

I was still thinking, no wonder I felt something was wrong before, but after the final touch, I felt comfortable and cheerful.

He didn't say this, but if he did, the other three eunuchs would definitely tell him, Guanjia, when you bent down for too long while painting, it was inevitable that your back would be sore and your legs would hurt. After you finish painting, if you straighten up, anyone else would feel comfortable. .

Zhao Ji didn't think so. He felt that Liang Shicheng had spoken to his heart. He was so impressed by his painting skills that he couldn't help himself. It was an expression of his true feelings. For a painter, it was the greatest compliment. How could he? Are you willing to punish the other party?

He immediately waved his hand and said: "Get up, you, you haven't been with me for a day or two. Is it only today that I can draw like this? Today is only sixty-seven percent of my level. Do you deserve to be so surprised?"

The other three eunuchs all secretly spat, this is also shameless.

Liang Shicheng said hurriedly: "I just suffer from the disadvantage of being good at painting. Naturally, I am impressed by the officials' magical skills every time I see them. Unlike Lao Yang, Lao Dai, and Manager Xia who can keep their composure!"

The old eunuch was so flattering that he even gave his opponent eye drops.

Yang Jian, Dai Quan, and Xia Shouzhong secretly cursed this old thief for being nothing, and at the same time, they quickly knelt down in fear: "Guan family, we are so shocked by your painting skills that we are speechless!"

Compared to Liang Shicheng, these three were a little bit behind-the-scenes, and their performance was too obvious. Zhao Ji was not a fool, so he could naturally see it, but it was the slave's duty to please his master, and he would not be angry because of it and waved his hand. road:

"Everyone get up!"

When the four eunuchs all stood up, Zhao Ji was already sitting on the throne, took the tea from Dai Quan, and then asked with interest:

"I heard that there was some excitement in Rongguo Mansion this afternoon?"

In fact, Dai Quan had mentioned this matter before. Ever since Taizong, the court had been wary of Xungui. Which Xungui mansion does not have spies from the palace?

Especially for an honorable mansion like Rongguo Mansion, which is rich in beauty but in ruins, there is no need for the imperial spies to do anything, and those unruly servants will tell everyone about it.

Dai Quan quickly smiled and recounted what happened in the afternoon when Hua Twelve made a big fuss in Rongqing Hall.

When Zhao Ji heard Dai Quan say that Lin Chong was ridiculed in the Hall of Honor for being "poor", he said, "Lin took this job to protect the safety of the official family, not to make a fortune. It is only right if he can't afford a carriage." ! ’, I couldn’t help but praise:

"If all my ministers were so loyal, the world would be worry-free!"

Several high eunuchs were full of compliments and said something like, "Only with a wise king and holy master can there be loyal ministers." Zhao Ji felt even happier after hearing this.

He continued to listen, and after hearing the whole thing, Huizong snorted coldly:

"This Rongguo Mansion is really getting worse from generation to generation. There is not even a single warrior who understands the truth!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly smiled again: "Then Lin Chong, the little fifth-grade dragon ban captain, dares to cause trouble in Rongguo Mansion. Are you afraid that the Jia family will not give up easily?"

Xia Shouzhong interrupted:

"What the officials said is absolutely true. I heard that the old prince of the Jia family was so angry that he even invited the imperial doctor to come to the clinic for treatment. He said that his anger was attacking his heart and mind, and he prescribed a prescription to refresh his mind and regulate his energy. He was afraid that he would be too busy for a while. , then Lin Chong will have a hard time!"

Zhao Ji's eyes moved slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting. He smiled softly and led a few people to talk about calligraphy and painting.

As for Hua Twelve, Zhang Zhenniang was stunned when her officials brought back a little beauty. Although Lin Daiyu was still young, her features were already stunning. Many dignitaries in Bianliang now liked this tender beauty. , she thought to herself, could her husband also be a bad person? Bring back a concubine or something.

As soon as she heard that it was Lin Daiyu, Zhang Zhenniang seemed to change her face. She immediately smiled, walked over, took Daiyu's hand, and led her into the house.

Lin Daiyu was a bit dumbfounded at this time. Although she was young, she was decisive. After what happened today, she felt that her cousin was right. Her grandmother arranged for her second uncle's brother Bao to live with her. There was something wrong in the house.

But she never expected that things would develop like this, that she would be taken out of her grandmother's house by her cousin.

However, her cousin's protection for her today and the enthusiasm with which her cousin-in-law treated her made her feel warm in her heart.

After Zhang Zhenniang and Lin Daiyu talked for a while, she asked her confusion:

"Didn't the official say that the old prince of Rongguo Mansion wanted to take the girl with him to educate him? Could it be that he changed his mind?"

In fact, Zhang Zhenniang had wanted to ask this for a long time, but she was accustomed to thinking about others first and was afraid of what Lin Daiyu thought if she asked directly, so she chatted for a while and waited for the warmth before asking.

In front of Lin Daiyu, Hua Twelve was too lazy to talk about people's rights and wrongs, so he simply said to Daiyu:

"Sister, you can speak for yourself. Let your sister-in-law comment on it and see if there is anything wrong with what I, the elder brother, did!"

Lin Daiyu nodded, and then recounted what happened in Rongqing Hall today without any exaggeration.

Although Zhang Zhenniang is not a lady, she has been well-educated since she was a child. When she heard this, she couldn't help but frown and blurted out:

"The old lady's arrangement like this will ruin the girl's reputation!"

Lin Daiyu defended Jia's mother and explained to her: "Grandma is old and may not have thought so much at the moment, but my brother misunderstood!"

Hua Twelve sneered: "Misunderstanding? That grandmother of yours is too scheming. Forget it, I won't say anything. It's just like gossiping behind someone's back. As time goes by, you should pay attention and see for yourself. That Rong Guojia's family is very different from other families!"

Lin Daiyu felt that there was something in her brother's words. Before she could think about it carefully, Zhang Zhenniang took her hand and said with a smile:

"Sister, don't listen to your brother's nonsense. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. He's just a little impatient, but that's fine. Otherwise, how can we bring back this fairy-like girl!"

Hearing Zhang Zhenniang defend herself and praise her beauty, Lin Daiyu's face turned red:

"Sister-in-law is a fairy-like person. I have seen the description of a stunning beauty in story books before. I didn't know what she looked like. Only when I saw my sister-in-law today did I know the meaning of this word."

Hua Twelve said with a smile on the side: "We are all members of our own family. You two should stop praising each other. Who are you listening to?"

The aunt and sister-in-law both laughed at the same time.

Lin Daiyu thought of something: "Brother, I brought a nanny and a personal girl named Xue Yan from Yangzhou, and they are still at my grandmother's house at this time!"

Hua Twelve waved his hand: "This matter is easy to handle. I will help you get it back tomorrow. I can't do it today. If your grandmother sees me again, she will probably be furious. I need to let the old lady calm down." !”

Zhang Zhenniang punched Hua Twelve in a funny and angry manner, telling her officials not to talk nonsense.

Lin Daiyu was so disturbed by these words that she didn't even know what to say. She was really worried about her grandmother. She started coughing due to her worries. Sister Lin, who was already a little sick, suddenly looked worse.

Hua Twelve's eyes moved slightly: "I see that your face looks a little bad, sister. It seems that you have some symptoms of weak qi and blood deficiency. I wonder if it has always been like this, or is it just recovering from the illness?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously: "Brother, do you still know medical skills?"

Hua Twelve nodded and did not brag about himself. He only said: "I have a little understanding. There is no separation between medicine and martial arts. If you want to practice martial arts well, you still need to know some medical skills!"

Lin Daiyu praised: "Brother is really amazing. I do have symptoms of weak qi and blood deficiency. It's not that I have just recovered from the illness, but it has always been like this!"

Zhang Zhenniang asked quickly: "Can we ask the doctor to take a look?"

Daiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you invite me? I have been taking medicine since I could eat and drink, and I have been taking medicine to this day. I have asked many doctors to prepare prescriptions and make medicines, but none of them work."

"That year when I was three years old, I heard that a leprosy-headed monk came and said that he wanted to transform me into a monk. My parents refused. He also said: 'I can't bear to leave her, but I'm afraid that she will never be able to survive her illness for the rest of her life. Okay, if you want to have a good time, you must not see any crying from now on. Except for your parents, you will not see any relatives or friends with foreign surnames. Only then will you be able to live in peace for this life." Crazy, mad, and said these unheard words, No one paid any attention to him.

"I still take Ginseng Yangrong Pills. My father used ginseng that has been used for hundreds of years and asked someone to prepare it. Now the medicine is also in my grandmother's house. I would like to ask my cousin to bring it with him when he goes to fetch snow geese tomorrow. !”

Hua Twelve frowned slightly: "Medicine is easy to talk about, but there is no reason to always take the same medicine. Although ginseng is good, it cannot be taken for a long time. The medicine is poisonous. The longer you take it, the more toxic it is, and the older you are. Ginseng, the more so!”

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised: "No one told me, and I'm afraid dad doesn't know either!"

Hua Twelve saw Lin Daiyu's eyes twinkling and knew that this girl was very scheming, so he said with a smile:

"It's medicine that makes up three parts of poison." Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine, said it in "Emergency Prescriptions for Thousands of Gold". The whole sentence is: 'If you want to cure a disease, you should first treat it with food. Poison', I think you don't believe it, how could my brother trick you!"

Lin Daiyu has been thinking a lot since she was a child. Just now she subconsciously thought that if there was such a truth, how could her father not know about it, so her eyes flickered, and she was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't want her cousin to see it out, so she directly told the source, and her face suddenly felt like it was on fire.

Hua Twelve said with a smile: "You, you have so many thoughts at such a young age. Now you are embarrassed. I am the elder brother. How could I choose you? My uncle is a student of classics and articles, and he is very familiar with medical techniques and medicinal properties." It’s normal not to understand, but if those famous Jiangnan doctors who treated you before are not quacks, they may have some thoughts!”

After he finished speaking, he said directly to Lin Daiyu: "Put out your hand and I will take your pulse!"

Zhang Zhenniang didn't know that her husband still had this ability. Looking on curiously, Lin Daiyu stretched out her wrist with some embarrassment and asked Hua Twelve to touch the ruler with her fingers.

When the equal sign crossed his pulse, Hua Twelve smiled and said:

"Sure enough, you are born with a weak body. I don't know how other people can treat this disease, but it is nothing to your brother. But please don't take your Ginseng Yangrong Pills. The poison accumulated in your body is better than those born with a weak body. The symptoms are all severe!”

Zhang Zhenniang said worriedly at the side: "Is there any way to cure this poison for my sister?"

Hua Twelve didn't want to say anything at first, but Zhang Zhenniang asked. He didn't want to lie to anyone close to him. Who was he? Lying for such a trivial matter was really not a crime, so he said calmly:

"There are two methods, fast and slow. The fast one will be cured immediately and the effect will be instantaneous. The slow one will have to wait a few years and use acupuncture to stimulate the organs and slowly detoxify. However, my sister has accumulated drug toxins for several years and will always have to wait for a few years. Leave some hidden dangers!"

Zhang Zhenniang gave Lin Daiyu the call: "The slow method is slow and has hidden dangers, so use the fast method!"

Lin Daiyu had a clear mind: "Since brother has mentioned these two methods, I think that although the faster method is good, it has difficulties. I wonder if this is the case?"

Hua Twelve said in his heart that Lin Daiyu was really smart. She got the guess right and nodded immediately:

"That's right. That quick method is too shocking. If I use it, you will definitely be scared when you see it!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't think of any reason why her brother would harm her. Everything she wanted to say was true, and she immediately smiled and said:

"What method does brother have to use? Although I love to cry a little, I am as courageous as a boy. When I was at home, my father often had a headache because of this!"

Hua Twelve remembered that it was written in the original book of Red Mansions that Lin Ruhai raised Daiyu as his son because he had no children, and he immediately laughed and said:

"In that case, let's use the quickest method, but you all have to cover your mouths, otherwise you will scream in shock and break my ears!"

As soon as he said this, not to mention Zhang Zhenniang and Lin Daiyu burst into laughter, even the Jin'er girl who was waiting on the side couldn't help but smile. I wonder when my uncle became so funny. He seemed more serious than before. Get closer.

Hua Twelve stretched out his hand: "Don't be afraid, look carefully!"

After speaking, he used his right hand to roll up the sleeve of his left hand, exposing his wrist. On his wrist, he saw a string of dark and shiny ink jade bracelets.

With a thought in Hua Twelve's mind, the bracelet immediately came to life and turned into a black centipede as thick as a finger. It was his natal Gu insect 'Six Wings'!

At this moment, three girls in the room let out piercing screams at the same time, which startled Six Wings. They quickly crawled behind Hua Twelve's neck and probed to see what was going on.

Zhang Zhenniang shouted: "Guard, please bow your head quickly. Jin'er, go get a kitchen knife and chop that centipede to death!"

Hua Twelve had a black line on his head: "Are you killing a centipede or your husband? I'm afraid you won't kill two people with one blow!"

He hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, everyone said that this quick method is shocking. This centipede is my pet. It can detoxify hundreds of poisons. It is just used to detoxify the girl's poison. It is very humane, so don't take it seriously." It scares!"

It took him a long time for the three girls to calm down. Lin Daiyu, who had boasted about her boldness just now, said in a trembling tone: "Brother, otherwise we should use the slower method!"

Hua Twelve mocked: "I thought that my sister is really a hero among girls, but it turns out that she is just a coward who talks big words. That's all. Let's use the slow method!"

The method of stimulating generals is indeed effective. Lin Daiyu frowned: "Whoever is timid, I just say it casually and use it quickly!"

Hua Twelve took Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, let it bite your middle finger, and it will suck out the toxins in your body!"

As he spoke, he gave Liuchi an order in his mind, and the latter quickly climbed onto Lin Daiyu's hand, biting the tip of her middle finger while her whole body was shaking.

Lin Daiyu found that it didn't hurt, and her fear faded a little.

The scene that happened next made the three women in the room forget their fear. As the centipede bit Daiyu's middle finger, a black line appeared on Sister Lin's exposed forearm from top to bottom, pointing toward the middle finger. It went everywhere, as if it was sucked by the centipede along the middle finger.

After half a stick of incense, the black line was no longer visible, and the six wings had returned to Hua Twelve's wrist.

Lin Daiyu said with a surprised look: "It's really comfortable. I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time!"

Hua Twelve smiled and said: "After the poison is gone, you will be reborn. Now you still have the problem of congenital frailty. You don't need to take medicine in the future. Come and practice martial arts with me."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered the joke in later generations about "Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow".

Smiling slightly, he said: "Originally, the most suitable kung fu for you is the 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu', but I haven't learned that kung fu. Fortunately, my brother has a 'Sakyamuni Elephant Throwing Kung Fu' which is also good. It can strengthen the body and cut bones." Cleansing the marrow and making up for your innate deficiencies is very suitable for you!"

Inside the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia's mother slowly woke up under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial physician. Her eldest son Jia She and her second son Jia Zheng both came forward to greet her.

Jia Mu asked about Daiyu and found out that her granddaughter had been taken away by Lin Chong. She felt depressed again and ordered her two sons:

"I must bring my Yu'er back, and that boy from the Lin family is acting recklessly in our Rongguo Mansion. Who gave him the courage? We must not let him go!"

Jia Shexin said, "Who asked you to think that the Lin family has no one, so why did you arrange your precious little fat guy in the girl's room? Doesn't that mean the bad guys are innocent? Is it wrong for the other family members to pick the right one?"

The old man remained silent, but Jia Zheng said angrily:

"Don't worry, mother. I will take the post from eldest brother and deliver it to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow morning. I will definitely bring Lin Chong to trial and bring Yu'er back to you!"

Jia She was speechless for a while, why would you use my post?

Thanks to: 08a, Little Tiger in the Demon World, and brothers for taking the exam well for their rewards. Thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes. Thank you very much.
