Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

The autumn wind is cold and the stars are bright.

When Wang Jiren went out, he added a layer of clothes under his official robe. Even so, he still felt like trembling while sitting in the carriage.They say autumn is crisp and clear, but with heavy rain and frost and a strong chill, I am afraid it will be another harsh winter this year.

There was nothing else in the palace all night. After checking the files of the night watch, he was led by a child to the side hall of the Taiyuan Hospital to check the medical books that were repaired today.

"Go to Dr. Chen and get the pulse report of the old lady of the Jia family." It's rare that I have nothing to do today, so I can settle the matter and wait for the New Year with peace of mind.

If the position of court judge had been considered two years ago, now it is more than enough.

"Yes."

When the boy walked to the door, he heard Wang Jiren say: "That's all." He sighed and muttered, "Everyone has gone, and those who can't see it don't care." Not only are the people gone, but a century-old family is also about to fall. .

The child returned to Wang Jiren and reminded: "Sir, Miss Zhao followed the night watch yesterday and looked through these notes and books. She also wrote a lot of notes, which are in the wastebasket." There are two imperial doctors Zhao in the palace, and Zhao Lu can only be distinguished by "Little Miss Zhao".

What I mean is that if you want to see something new, you can check this out.

"Not bad." Wang Jiren understood, and immediately asked the child to turn out the paper basket, and hung the bright and clean paper basket on the bridge of his nose. He squinted at the two pages and immediately decided to invite Zhao Lu. It was time to get to know this person. Protégé's time.

In front of the writing desk, Zhao Lu and Wang Jiren sat opposite each other, feeling very uneasy.

The old doctor asked some questions about the prescription, and Zhao Lu gave a response after thinking about it. His words were pious, but the content was completely wrong.

"I appreciate your confident attitude in talking nonsense." After saying that, he reassured her not to be nervous. After all, she didn't come from a major, so she just asked her casually. She didn't forget to joke: "These are all your own." Did you realize it?"

He said don't be nervous, but the words he said left no room for distinction at all.

Fortunately, Wang Jiren said a few words and then took the waste paper in his hand, like an elder caring and giving advice, which made Zhao Lu gradually relax.

"Did you sew that boy from the Jia family?"

"It's me and others who work together." Zhao Lu responded modestly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the child brought over a rabbit. The rabbit, which was known for its ability to hold a nest, had not given birth for three months. The rabbit meat supply frequency in the hospital had dropped a lot. Now that the rabbit had snuck up in front of the culprit, the rabbit was in trouble. With a sound, he struggled violently.

The hair that was cut off on the abdomen already showed signs of new growth, covering up the flesh-pink scars. There was no cracking or suppuration, just like

Wang Jiren sat upright with a serious expression. He held up the rabbit's hind legs and began to examine it carefully. He did not forget to compare each glance with the content on the paper and consider it carefully.

Dr. Hu, who treated people like pigs, brought out an apprentice who was good at cutting animals. Although she explained the theory in detail, Wang Jiren still asked her if she was going to take a job in the livestock office.

Hiss... The Linsheng Yamen is a place that specializes in the slaughtering of sacrifices. It inherits the name of the Linsheng Department of the previous dynasty. It is true that he deals with animals every day. This old man has a way of killing people.

I heard that several men from Duke Ningguo's residence have entered Dali Temple. The chance of coming out is probably low, right?Are you going to be caught and paraded in public even if you need a few jade needles for treatment?She quietly started to give herself reasons to defend herself, but accidentally met the slightly raised corners of Wang Jiren's mouth, and she hesitated for a moment.

After the rabbit was sent out, Wang Jiren took off his glasses, obviously a little happy, "Speaking of which, we dare not speculate on what Your Majesty thinks about Prince Mu's coming to Beijing, but the West Camp is very excited. "

Zhao Lu was a little embarrassed because these things were too far away from her and it was difficult to care about them.

Fortunately, Wang Jiren no longer belittled her.

It wasn't until a volume of documents sent abroad fell into her hands that she realized what Wang Jiren Tixi Camp meant.

……

The tragedy in Ningguo Mansion came relatively quickly. Winter had just entered, and rumors were circulating in the streets and alleys that the Jia family was rampant in the countryside, preying on the people, plundering private property, beating and killing tenant farmers, and many other crimes.

What they knew was that Dali Temple had discovered the crimes of Ningguo Mansion, but what they didn’t know was that they were scolding Rongguo Mansion as well.

After hearing this, Zhao Lu hurriedly accepted Lin Yu's bonus and hurried out of the city to rent a house. She was going to Xi Daying as a deputy. Although it sounded like a job, Wang Jiren made her a promise. When a medical girl is recruited, she will be the first to recommend her!

Another carrot dangled in front of me. The key is that this trick has been tried and tested. After all, it is not safe for a little girl to do anything these days. Everyone knows the principle of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

What's more, gold will always shine, Zhao Lu firmly believed it.

As soon as the bicycle came out, Lin Yu was at the forefront. After Jia Zheng kept his filial piety, he was going to be promoted to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Industry. In order to achieve success in taking office, many strange skills and tricks were also under his surveillance.

As the nephew of Lin Zhixiao's family, Lin Yu's wooden donkey that did not need to eat grass was very conspicuous in the capital. With Zhao Lu and Lin Hongyu attacking from both sides, he had no choice but to forcefully pull out the principle of the water wheel used for irrigation in farming. Just to cover up Zhao Lu, the 'mastermind behind the scenes'.

"Why did you give him the credit for nothing? The second master's promotion is a sure thing, what a pity." When she saw Zhao Lu, Xiaohong naturally asked about the most important thing.

"What I asked for was wealth, and now that I have received it, isn't it true that I am asking for kindness?" Zhao Lu said in a cheerful tone, stroking the 800 taels of silver in his pocket, and spoke with a lot of confidence. She just wanted to make money.

What's going on in the court now?Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

She didn't dare to stand on the edge of the muddy water and watch the excitement. What could be more meaningful than eating well and sleeping well?Then he changed the subject and asked: "I was just wondering if Dongfu's current situation... would affect you? After all, Second Master Yun is also from Rongfu."

"Bah!" Xiaohong spat, "I told you that his home is on Waibalu Road under the west corridor. Who can influence it?"

As he spoke, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. He took out a red and gold invitation from his sleeve and handed it over.

Seeing that the happiness on her face couldn't deceive anyone, he knew that the Lin family was really satisfied with this marriage. "What day is the seventh day of March?"

"Of course it's a good day for us." Xiaohong pulled a stool and sat down. She looked at the two mothers busy beside the jujube tree and blinked: "Isn't this inconvenient? I have several cooks at home. , give one to you?" "Send one to me?" Zhao Lu shook his head, "It's not like you don't know that I'm going to move to the suburbs. What kind of cook will I bring? One second mother is enough."

As soon as they talked about Er Niang, the two of them discussed that the name was not good and they called her stupid, so they wanted to change it.However, due to Zhao Lu not taking the time to do it, he postponed it until now. In the end, Xiaohong came up with the nickname Penghua.

"I think she's not as good as Er Niang." Zhao Lu laughed so hard that he complained unceremoniously.

Xiaohong ignored her and squatted next to Erniang, "Isn't Penghua good? The white flowers of Pengcao indicate that everything in the past is like the soil in the ground, which has been stepped on by you and thrown behind you. Then the whitest flowers bloom..."

"Hey." Qingwen came into the room and listened, and her ridicule became more direct, "Wouldn't it be more appropriate to just ask her to call her a hammer and smash all the bad and unfair things?"

"Okay, okay, stop joking, everyone is here, let's be serious." Zhao Lu took out the full teapot and put it on the table, then filled it for all three of them, "You are all busy outside. Did you listen?"

Hearing this, the two people with gossip radar rushed forward, both showing curious expressions.That's right, the two of them were obsessed with the important matter of marriage. They embroidered every embroidery into the palace, attracting the imperial concubine to purchase it. Naturally, they didn't know about the rumors outside.

"Stop being enticing, tell me quickly, is it possible that the men in Dongfu want to show off their heads to the public?" Qingwen urged.

"My sister, you really dare to ask." Zhao Lu waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head in denial, "Do you still remember the Yangzhou female cook in the old lady's courtyard in the past, the very beautiful one?"

"She..." Xiaohong thought about it for a moment, "Not long after you left, she was sent away by my wife. She was said to be a distant relative found by the envoy from Java and wanted to redeem her life."

The stories of beauties are always attractive. Qingwen said hurriedly, "I heard that Jawaguo has found several distant relatives in our capital. They are all servants working for others in the back house! You said they are thousands of miles away, it's hard to imagine."

Being a slave to a powerful family is a very reprehensible thing.Even if it is said now that they are planning to find a wife for their prince and grandson, and then conduct a thorough investigation, these wealthy families will inevitably be guilty of negligence.

After all, if these spies were planted for the purpose of collaborating with the enemy and treason, wouldn't they be able to bring down the capital in one fell swoop?

"So that's what happened..." The two of them were thoughtful, showing a lack of interest.

Instead, he paid attention to the ceremony three days later.

The Javanese envoy has been in Kyoto for more than a year. The car and the boat were once empty, but now they are full again. Apparently he is going back to his hometown.But she asked for marriage, and the court didn't know which princess or princess had this honor and could get such a husband.

Qingwen couldn't help but sigh, "She is so beautiful!"

"In the past, I only thought that Baoyu was born beautiful and beautiful. We also had Langyuan immortals like Miss Baoyu and Miss Lin in our house. But now, looking at it, I feel that it is not as good as this prince." His expression was almost unbearable.

"Haha," Zhao Lu patted her hard, "Quickly stop drooling, the excitement is about to come!"

After hearing what she said, even Erniang came over and opened her eyes wide, showing a curious expression.

"In the grand ceremony three days later, His Majesty will grant a marriage to the prince of Java! Guess who it is?"

"The princess and princess have a lot of money, it can't be us?" Qingwen glanced sideways at her, as if thinking of something, "Hey, it can't be Miss Lin, right?"

It is said that it is a gift of marriage, but in fact it is no different from going to get married. There is no princess of the right age, so the princesses will naturally become targets.But if you were the princess, why would you have tried every possible means to prepare a candidate for several years?
Everyone in Taiyuan Hospital guessed that she was the daughter of a minister, so they picked out the one they liked, made her a princess, and sent them over.

However, the status is a bit particular, neither high nor low, which not only shows the court's affection, but also does not make people look like the emperor is in a hurry. As for what the other party used in exchange, Zhao Lu didn't listen.

But what is surprising is that Qingwen's words made Zhao Lu also suspicious: "Why did you think of Miss Lin? After Miss Lin became a loyal and loyal woman, let alone a marriage, the old lady originally proposed marriage on behalf of Mr. Bao. Yushitai sprayed for a long time."

That was a mascot with a very high status. If it weren't for the taboo among the royal family on people of the six extremes, Daiyu would have entered the palace long ago.

"You must be ignorant about this. We have already seen my wife receiving official media in the palace. The leading imperial officer is taking care of the old lady's funeral in an orderly manner. Now I will choose a day to support the old lady and return to Jinling, and then come back. I'm afraid a happy event is about to happen." Qingwen thought thoughtfully, besides Miss Lin, the only three girls left in the house were of the right age.

Could it be that I am begging for the third girl?how can that be possible.

Before she finished speaking, Xiaohong put down the tea cup and said, "Are you worried that someone will be taken away as a dowry maid?"

Although he didn't say it clearly, the corners of his eyes drifted towards Qingwen unnaturally.

Zhao Lu nodded, his worry evident.Because she always felt in her heart that the couple would probably be Tanchun. With the current difficult situation of the Jia family, there was nothing she couldn't do to curry favor with the court.

If you really decide to have sex, it will cost a lot of money to buy beautiful maids. If you choose a few beautiful ones in the house, it will be easier to handle if you know the basics. It is also a favor to the maids to tell them. In the end, it is only the servants who travel thousands of miles who will suffer.

Unexpectedly, Qingwen said lightly: "The old lady is gone now, and Baoyu is also injured like that. My wife sheds tears every day, so I'm afraid she can't care about me, the embroiderer."

She also mentioned that no one was designated to wear the clothes she made now, so she spent most of her time in the shop.And the government is always talking about laying off employees, so if she wants to leave, no one will stop her.

"That's what I mean, why don't you just leave the house, and you won't miss the food from the house anyway. You don't believe it, but the uncle of the Lai family, Lai Shangrong, blocked Qixi's way a few days ago. I'm worried..."

Ningrong's second mansion is currently in a state of turmoil, and people are in panic.It is true that after all, it is a family of officials for many generations, and life in it must be easy, but the unknown risks are also great to a certain extent, and it is not as stable as standing on one's own.

Sure enough, Qingwen shook her head, "Mama Lai picked me up back then. Whether it was with good intentions or pretense, she rescued me after all. What's more, the old lady and Baoyu have been friendly to me for so many years. Now that the old lady is gone, he cries every day. If the swelling in my eyes won't go away, I won't leave him at this juncture."

All three of them knew Baoyu's current situation, and they all fell silent when they heard that he was so sad that he couldn't help himself.

When he thought that Baoyu would probably be left alone in the future, Zhao Lu could not help but feel a little sad. He said that although he was an unlucky guy, fortunately he loved reading Zhuangzi and had an open-minded nature. He hoped that he would think about it soon and his life would be easier.

"By the way, you're going to Xi Daying. Have you rented the house yet? We're here to have hot pot today." Qingwen brought the topic back to the original point without forgetting her original intention of coming.

"I've hired someone to rent it and bought an additional five acres of land. When I return to the mountains and build a house in the future, I can invite you to see the egrets flying in front of Xisai Mountain." Zhao Lu couldn't help but sigh. Qi Fang accepted it. If you have money, you will be very reliable in doing things.
