Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 63

The time came to the eighth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival was approaching, the autumn wind was gradually waning, and the green plants in the courtyard began to turn yellow.

When he walked out of the gymnasium, Chen Heng was sitting on the stone steps. He was in a delicate mood at the moment.For more than half a month, he and Daiyu corresponded several times, through the innocent and undisguised words of the other party.

Chen Hengcai learned that after Lin Ruhai arrived in Yangzhou, every spring and summer, the palace would specially send the imperial physician to Yangzhou with medicinal materials to give them and the Pei family and Wei family a pulse.

Comparing this one in the palace, think again about the dilemma I had with Xue Biao thinking about famous doctors.Chen Heng couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness in hitting the cotton with all his strength.

That being the case, when did Sister Lin's younger brother in the book die?And because of what disease?
Why didn't I stop paying attention when I read the book?

Chen Heng shook his head regretfully, got up and wiped off the dust on his body, and walked towards the dormitory with this sleepiness.

On the way back, Chen Heng ran into Xu Jinhou with a look of disbelief. The young man was full of worries, he just saluted blankly, and was about to leave.

"stop."

Xu Jinhou stopped him from the corridor.

"Master Xu?" Chen Heng turned his head to the side with a puzzled expression on his face.

"No problem today, are you pestering me to ask questions?" Xu Jinhou was wearing a blue shirt with big sleeves and a square crown on his head. He was looking up and down his disciple with smiling eyes.

Chen Heng smiled awkwardly. In the past half a month, he ran to Master Xu's place whenever he could find time, and used Daiyu's letter to describe his younger brother's illness, and made sidelines in front of Master Xu.

Seeing the young man's clarity, Xu Jinhou suddenly smiled subtly and said, "It seems that the child of your relative has already found a famous doctor."

It should be counted, after all, he is a national doctor.Chen Heng scratched his head, then cupped his hands and said, "I'm causing trouble for Master Xu."

Xu Jinhou looked at the child's appearance, and finally sighed, "The person you keep asking is Lord Lin's youngest son, right?"

Chen Heng was stunned, and murmured: "How did Master Xu know?"

"Since you said that the child was the root of the disease that fell on the road, his complexion was not good, his face was red, and he often coughed." Xu Jinhou walked up to Chen Heng and stood beside him, "I was invited by the head of the mountain. When I first came to Yangzhou, I went to Mr. Lin's house to see it."

Chen Heng was taken aback, he never expected such a thing to happen.

"I'm afraid you don't know that Mr. Lin almost became Pei's son-in-law back then."

"Then why didn't Master Xu tell me earlier?" Chen Heng was a little discouraged.

"Idiot." Xu Jinhou often practiced medicine in Yongjia County, and saw a lot of parting troubles in the world. At this moment, he said earnestly, "If you don't let you use up all your strength, how can you find peace of mind?"

Peace of mind?Chen Heng suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xu Jinhou in disbelief.For a moment, he was regretting why he had such a sharp reaction.

"The doctors don't deny it, Master Lin is also clear about it."

Xu Jinhou raised his hand and stroked his mustache.

Hearing this, Chen Heng's heart trembled wildly, and he couldn't help but think of how Uncle Lin was having a good time at the wine table during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

His ordinary, that heartfelt joy.

This, this, this is how dare Chen Heng believe it.How can you believe it?

"Stupid child." Xu Jinhou put his hand on Chen Heng's shoulder, "How can a doctor's family decide a matter of life and death. It's just that Mr. Lin is prepared in his heart, so as not to be caught off guard in case of unexpected events in the future."

Chen Heng was in a daze and forgot to answer.

"What are your plans for a while?"

"I... I don't know."

After Chen Heng finished answering, Xu Jinhou held his hand, "You follow me as a teacher." Xu Jinhou led him all the way to the corner of the courtyard, where the students of the academy were painting.

Chen Heng's Go game, Master Jin always likes to be leisurely, usually leave a few chessboards and let everyone come and go freely.Rarely do you get together to teach like this.

Xue Biao and Jiang Yuanbai felt a little strange about Chen Heng's sudden appearance, but Jiang Yuanbai greeted him with a wink.

"How are you doing?" Xu Jinhou looked at the student in front of him.

"Master Xu, there is no reason to paint peach blossoms in September, it's too difficult, too difficult."

"Can't draw, really can't draw."

Xu Jinhou smiled and listened to the complaints, and ordered everyone to hand in the paintings and have a look at them one by one.

"Who handed in this blank paper." Master Xu pointed to a piece of blank paper.

"Master, it's me." A student stood up cheekily.

Xu Jinhou nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "That's right, that's right, your understanding is very good, and you got nothing."

Everyone laughed, he motioned for the other party to sit down, and pointed to a clumsy painting with only branches, "Whose is this?"

Another student got up triumphantly and kept clapping his hands towards the surrounding students.

"Okay, okay, you just don't know anything about the skill of freehand brushwork." Xu Jinhou sincerely 'encouraged', and the laughter came again.

In the end, he chose a painting that actually painted three peach blossoms and rated it as the masterpiece of this year.After class, Xu Jinhou, who was in a good mood, led Chen Heng towards an unknown place.

The complex thoughts in my mind were interrupted repeatedly.Chen Heng's mood calmed down slightly. He followed behind the teacher, watching the other party humming softly, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Master Xu, are you trying to teach me something?"

"There are so many principles to teach in life." Xu Jinhou shook his head and said noncommittally, "I just saw that you were in a bad mood, and I took you to have some fun. If you are not well, I can only take you to eat something delicious as a teacher."

"Do you know this method, who taught it to you as a teacher?" Xu Jinhou blinked at the student.

Chen Heng shook his head.

"Su Dongpo."

Hearing this answer, Chen Heng was taken aback for a moment.Coincidentally, the two came to Master Xu's residence at this time.

Xu Jinhou smiled and led him into his room, and while looking for something on the bookshelf, he said to him, "Have you read Mr. Dongpo's poems?"

"Shui Tiao Ge Tou? Nian Nujiao?" Chen Heng said the names of a few lyrics.

"That's not enough. I still need to read more of Mr. Dongpo's poems." Xu Jinhou took a book and handed it to Chen Heng. "Li Taibai's poems are indeed heroic and happy, but in this life, the only thing you can't miss is Mr. Dongpo's poems."

"Tao Yuanming and Wang Mojie both built their homes in the mountains and forests. After Li Taibai moved his home to Guanghan Palace, it was beyond the reach of others. Only Su Dongpo kept his home in his heart and traveled around the world on foot.

You, if you still have difficulties in your mind in the future, you might as well learn from Mr. Dongpo's open-mindedness.It must be remembered that people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has the true meaning of the saying. "

Chen Heng nodded silently, and took Su Dongpo's poetry collection.

"Go, go." Master Xu waved his hand at him, and finally comforted him, "In a few days, I will go to the Lin family for consultation."

"Yes." Chen Heng had no choice but to take the poem and go back.

"Father, what are you going to teach me to read today?"

In the study, Daiyu walked around Lin Ruhai, looking at this and that from time to time.Lin Ruhai had little business today, so after dinner, he took his daughter to the study to test and teach her homework.

"Let's continue reading Dongpo's poems today." Lin Ruhai smiled and took down the collection of poems, and pulled Daiyu to sit at the desk.The two father and daughter sat facing each other under the light yellow light.

Lin Daiyu rested her chin on her hands and said puzzled, "I've been reading about him recently, Dad, why don't you read Lay Yi'an."

"Hahaha, because her poems are too bitter." Lin Ruhai opened the book leisurely, and patiently explained to her daughter, "Father thinks that only Su Dongpo's poems can be read for a lifetime."

…………

Daiyu was also not the only one who was reading poetry. Chen Heng rarely suffered from insomnia tonight. He was so anxious that he couldn't lie down, so he simply hugged the collection of Dongpo's poems given by Master Xu, and sat on the porch to read while the moon was shining.

But no matter how he looked at it, he didn't understand the meaning that Master Xu gave him.

Chen Heng thought rather distressed: He wants to save someone.If you give me a copy of "Dongpo Poetry Collection" now, it would be better to give me a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica", Mr. Xu!

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, he simply rolled up the collection of poems in front of him and threw it into the courtyard.

"Read shitty poetry."

"Aiyo, who... dares to plot against your young master and me."

Chen Heng was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he could accidentally injure innocent people by throwing it away.He recognized the voice, and hurriedly said softly: "Brother Su Zhao, it's me."

A man sneaked out from the bamboo grove, that tall figure looked like his classmate.Xin Suzhao held the collection of poems he threw in his hand, rubbing his head and walking towards him.

"Brother Heng, what are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night and running out to throw away your books?"

Chen Heng was also full of embarrassment, so he had no choice but to tell the other party about his and Xue Biao's search for a doctor.Xin Suzhao couldn't stop nodding after listening, and laughed, "So that kid from the Xue family didn't find anyone for you in the end?"

"Famous doctors are hard to find, Brother Xue has done his best." Chen Heng sighed helplessly, "Why did you come back so late?"

"Of course I'm going out to have fun. You told me to sit in the academy and study every day. How can I bear it?" Xin Suzhao sat on the corridor, spread his hands casually and leaned back, seeing that he was treating the corridor as his own bed.

Chen Heng nodded, and once again apologized for what happened just now, before reaching out to greet him, "Let's go, let's go back to the house to rest."

"Where are you going? You're not looking for a famous doctor anymore?" Xin Suzhao asked with a smile.

"Lie on the bed and think of a solution slowly. If it doesn't work, let Brother Xue think about it again."

"You can just leave it. I don't think it's useless for you to find him. Ask him, why not ask me." Xin Suzhao patted his chest, and Chen Heng turned around when he heard that, his face was full of surprise, "You also know famous doctors?"
