Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 67
In the Lin Mansion, Daiyu has not been to the academy for two days.In the past two days, Lin Jue's health has become worse and worse.He vomited whatever he ate, and cried all day and all night.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Shi were both very worried about this.Daiyu watched her mother shed tears every day, and didn't know what to say.She is smart after all, even though she doesn't understand some things.But with his delicate mind, he already felt a dark cloud hanging over his home.

What can she do?

Can you make a wish with the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and bless your younger brother?

Daiyu didn't know if it would be of any use, so she had to put her hands together and beg secretly to heaven when she was lying on the bed before going to bed every day.

Soon, Xu Jinhou was invited to come to the Lin Mansion again.But this time, he lived directly in Lin's house, and gave Lin Jue medicine soup every day.

Lin Daiyu saw it and dared not say anything.Every day, I have to work hard to eat, and I am afraid that my parents will worry about her.

It's just that the atmosphere at home is still getting lower and lower day by day, and everything is rushing to an unknown and dark place.

At dinner this day, there were only Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai at the table.Jia Shi has been guarding beside his younger brother's bed all night, unable to eat anything.

Lin Ruhai's face was no longer relaxed and freehand. He held the chopsticks for a long time and forgot to eat.Beside him was Xu Jinhou who just came in with a heavy face.The two seemed worried that Daiyu would hear, so they kept whispering.

Holding the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Daiyu carefully looked at the conversation between Master Xu and her father, and saw that their expressions became more and more serious. The more she watched, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help lowering her head, and big tears fell into the bowl.

But now that someone can take care of her, Lin Ruhai kept nodding silently, and was about to pull Xu Jinhou and run to his son's residence.Suddenly a servant rushed into the house anxiously.

"My lord, my lord, there are guests outside the door."

"Didn't I tell you to close the door of the house tightly?" Lin Ruhai reprimanded him rarely, he rarely lost his composure like this.

"He... He has our door stickers, and he also said that he brought a doctor who can treat the young master's illness?"

"Who is it?" Hearing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked anxiously.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, the little man who came to our house."

It's him?Lin Ruhai couldn't help being surprised, and couldn't help looking at her daughter behind her.

Daiyu raised her head unconsciously, but couldn't hold back her tears, they were still falling drop by drop, but now they were like a stream of clear water, and they couldn't stop.

"Invite him to come in." Lin Ruhai ordered, now he is a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and even a doctor cannot let him go.

"You go... No, I will go with you to lure him in."

Lin Ruhai nodded at Xu Jinhou, motioned him to go to his son's room first, and rushed out the door with his servants.Who knows, Chen Heng didn't wait outside the door honestly.He has already brought Monk Kongkong and Master Qingning directly into the courtyard.

Seeing Uncle Lin from a distance, Chen Heng shouted urgently: "Uncle, these two doctors I invited from Suzhou." He was afraid that Lin Ruhai would refuse, "Uncle, let the two masters take a look at Brother Jue."

Lin Ruhai looked at his distressed appearance, and felt soft in his heart, and said: "Okay, uncle knows, you haven't eaten yet, Yu'er is inside, I'll let someone take you in, can you take a rest?"

Chen Heng didn't dare to refuse, and he also knew that he had already done everything he could.I had no choice but to bow deeply to Monk Kongkong and Master Qingning, "Please, master and wife."

"You don't have to worry, your master and I will do our best." Although Master Qingning's words were cold, the comforting meaning in them made Chen Heng feel a little at ease.

They were divided into two groups, Master Qing Ning took Monk Kong Kong and followed Lin Ruhai away.The servant who followed Lin Ruhai led Chen Heng into the hall.

When Chen Heng saw Lin Daiyu sitting alone at the table wiping tears, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister, why are you still crying? Is today's food not tasty?"

"I'm starving."

Chen Heng didn't wait for Lin Daiyu's answer, he just sat down on the table carelessly, picked up a pair of chopsticks that hadn't been touched, picked up a few dishes and stuffed them into his mouth.

Daiyu looked at her brother in a state of distress, saw his hair was disheveled and his face was covered with dust, and she was also amused by his appearance, crying and laughing, "Brother, so you are going to find a doctor for your brother?"

"Yes." Chen Heng let out a long breath, he didn't understand Daiyu's words.I just want to travel from Yangzhou to Suzhou in the past few days, and then back to Yangzhou from Suzhou. It is really a long journey.

"It must have been a hard journey." Daiyu's eyes were full of tears, but they were as clean as morning dew, and she was looking at him brightly at this moment.

Chen Hengshai laughed, and said rather uneasy, "I hope these hard work will have a good result." He was really hungry, so he just said this and put all his energy on eating.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu hurriedly helped to pick up the food. Maybe it was because she was close to each other. She smelled a strange and unpleasant body odor, and seeing the other party gobbled it up, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Brother, eat slowly, I won't fight with you."

Chen Heng's mouth was full of things, he couldn't care less about talking, so he just nodded.

Lin Daiyu stood up and simply stood by his side, concentrating on picking up food for the other party, saying that this was delicious, and that that was delicious.

After listening to it for a long time, Chen Heng realized that the other party was a little closer to him, and said: "My sister, stay away from me. I haven't showered for almost ten days, and my body smells very bad."

"That's right, I didn't smell it at all." How could Sister Lin care about these things, "Besides, brother is all for Brother Jue, so even if Yu'er smells it, it doesn't matter."

Daiyu didn't let Chen Heng think too much about this issue, and directly asked the other party about the journey.

This opened up Chen Heng's topic. He drank a cup of tea and moistened his throat.I will tell you what I have seen and heard on the road, how I found Monk Kongkong, and the conversation with Miaoyu.

What Lin Daiyu heard was that her eyes lit up again and again. After thinking for a long time, she didn't know what to say, she just took care of the other party attentively, "Drink some more tea, this cup is cold, I just took a sip."

Chen Heng didn't care about it, he picked it up and put it in his mouth. After eating and drinking, he patted his stomach and said comfortably: "I'm full, I'm really full now."

He got up from his seat, he had worked so hard, now is the critical moment, how could he sit still, and said directly to Daiyu: "Come on, let's go to the door of Brother Jue and wait and see?"

Chen Heng asked what the other party meant.

"Okay." At this moment, Daiyu would refuse the other party's request, but felt that the sloppy elder brother, like the breeze in March, and the sunshine in the morning, also had his own unique demeanor.

The two villains rushed to the door of Lin Jue's room and sat side by side on the steps. The room behind them was very noisy. Except for the servants rushing in and out, the other adults could only hear the voices, but no one could be seen coming out anyway.

Chen Heng clenched his fists and waited silently, while comforting himself in his heart that there would be a good result, while comforting Lin Daiyu with his usual expression.

Lin Daiyu listened silently, only occasionally agreeing softly. Suddenly, she interrupted her brother's words with a smile, and looked at the sunset in the sky, "Brother, Yu'er will always remember this day."

"No, no, no." Chen Heng smiled and waved his hands, "Since I answered your brother's call, I should do something. After all, I still want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the future."

Lin Daiyu did not reply, and the two continued to wait side by side.

They waited until the night was quiet and the moon was shining.Suddenly the door behind him opened, and Lin Ruhai came out with Master Kongkong, Master Qingning, and Xu Jinhou.At this time, Daiyu had fallen asleep leaning on Chen Heng's shoulder.

Chen Heng was still bracing himself, and when he saw them coming out, he hurriedly shook the sleepy Daiyu to wake him up.Chen Heng stood up and asked Lin Ruhai, "Uncle, how is Brother Jue?"

Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, just nodded at him with a smile.

Father's smile, like a ray of sunshine piercing through the stratus clouds, pierced all the dark clouds in Lin Daiyu's heart.Just as Chen Heng was about to be happy, his body swayed and fell directly on Daiyu's body.

"Brother, brother..."

Kong Kong stepped forward quickly, grabbed Chen Heng's wrist, and said after a while: "It's okay, it's okay, this kid is tired. Just arrange a room and let him sleep."

Only then did everyone feel at ease.

…………

…………

When Chen Heng woke up, it was already dark outside. He stretched his fists and feet on the bed, and felt his whole body was comfortable and full of energy.But his movement accidentally alarmed the person beside the bed.

Lin Daiyu, who had been sleeping on her stomach for an unknown amount of time, raised her head and rubbed her eyes, "Brother, are you awake?"

"Well, how long have I been sleeping?" Although Chen Heng was a little surprised that the other party would be here, he still asked, "How is Brother Jue?"

"Brother has been sleeping for a whole day and night." Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand, made exaggerated gestures, and replied with a smile, "Dr. Jue's health is much better. Master Kong Kong said that it will take three years of careful conditioning before he can truly recover."

Chen Heng heard that the big stone in his heart finally fell.He turned forward and dreamed, always dreaming that he was sitting in the academy, listening to one death lesson after another from the Lin family.

Daiyu in her dream, wearing sackcloth and filial piety, followed the funeral procession, walked through the deserted streets, on the long official road, and passed through the dark and silent city gates. Above her head were flocks of birds flying by, and under the paper money flying all over the sky, the fleeting light was so heartbreaking.

"This is good, this is good." Chen Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, are you hungry? Do you want a cup of tea?" Seeing that Chen Heng wanted to get out of bed, Lin Daiyu got up to make way for her, and went to the table to find a cup of tea for him, and carefully brought it over.

Chen Heng looked at the dark sky outside, took the teacup, and asked, "Is there any more sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

He thought it was so late, so he might as well not bother the Lin family.

"Not really. If brother wants to eat, why don't Yu'er make it for you?" Lin Daiyu blushed, a little embarrassed and said that the last time the osmanthus cake was bought by her family from the pastry shop.

Chen Heng looked her up and down and said suspiciously.

"Has my sister ever done this before?"

"No, brother." Lin Daiyu said confidently.

"Forget it then, just make do with what you can eat." Chen Heng directly refused, what are you kidding, you haven't done it before, and you still want me to eat?

"Brother, don't underestimate people." Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, her eyes were actually cunning.

Chen Heng only smiled, and decided not to get entangled in this issue.

　It's changed, it's changed.If you scold me again, I will not agree.
