I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 204 Why Sima Niu sigh?
After Jia's grandmother and others left, Jia Baoyu knelt for a whole day and night before being released.

When he came out, Jia Baoyu was almost exhausted and looked like he only had one breath left.

Jia's mother and others cried while ordering people to carry the body back carefully.

Then he hurriedly invited the imperial physician to take a look.

After the imperial physician examined it, he found that the condition was not serious and would not leave any root of disease.

However, it was estimated that he would not be able to get out of bed within ten days, so he was prescribed some medicine and told to take good care of himself.

After sending the imperial physician away, Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang cried and tried to persuade him.

Let Jia Baoyu never provoke that evil creature Jia Cong again.

He has a black face and a cold heart. He doesn't recognize his relatives and will never forgive anyone.

Jia Baoyu was also afraid and agreed repeatedly.

It is said that Jia Zheng was so angry that he wanted to punish Baoyu, but was driven back by Jia's mother.

After Jia Baoyu recovered from his injuries, he began to fear Jia Cong.

I no longer dared to think about going to the Lin family.

He never even thought of asking Lin Daiyu what she was thinking in person.

Since we can never see her again, just treat her as dead. Even if she is dead, we still have to live our lives.

During this period, Jia Cong was detoxifying Lin Ruhai while ordering Jia Huan to help him keep an eye on Jia Baoyu.

If Baoyu still dares to have any feelings for Lin Daiyu, Jia Cong will make sure he knows why the flowers are so red.

When Jia Cong heard that Baoyu had become timid, he felt relieved.

It is said that after continuous detoxification treatment, Lin Ruhai's condition is getting better and better.

One day, after Jia Cong diagnosed Lin Ruhai, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Congratulations, father-in-law."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Cong and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so happy?"

Jia Cong couldn't help but smile and said, "Father-in-law, after this period of detoxification, the toxins in your kidneys have been basically eliminated."

"From now on, my father-in-law will be able to show his prowess again. Isn't that something to celebrate?"

It turned out that Lin Ruhai had been poisoned by chronic poisoning, and his multiple organs were failing. In the end, he was no longer able to live.

Otherwise, Lin Ruhai is actually not very old, only about 40 years old.

After his son died young, he never had another child.

It turns out that it’s not that I don’t want to, but that my body can’t.

Now that his kidneys have fully recovered, he is able to have children again.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, his old face turned red, but he was also happy in his heart.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

Lin Ruhai didn't want to have no descendants, and now that he can regain his glory, how can Lin Ruhai not be happy.

Although Lin Ruhai's wife, Jia Min, had passed away, he still had several concubines, who had all been brought to the capital, and would not hinder his ability to continue his family line.

Jia Cong said again: "Father-in-law, let me prescribe a food tonic recipe. After you eat it, you will surely be more vigorous."

"But now that you have just recovered from a serious illness, you still need to exercise moderation and not overindulge yourself!"

Hearing Jia Cong's words, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Get lost, you are so disrespectful that you are making fun of your elders!"

Jia Cong suddenly said, "By the way, uncle, my third sister Tanchun is going to give birth to a baby tomorrow."

"She wants to invite Sister Lin to the banquet and also plans to let Sister Lin stay in the Grand View Garden for a few more days."

"My third sister asked me to take a message to Sister Lin. I hope my uncle will approve it."

During the time that Jia Cong was treating Lin Ruhai, he also saw Lin Daiyu frequently.

Lin Ruhai was quite open-minded and did not blindly stop it.

However, he still sent a maid to watch outside.

If Jia Cong stayed for too long, he would go into the house and chase him away. He was still on guard against Jia Cong. After Jia Cong finished writing the prescription, Lin Ruhai said, "Go, but don't be rude and don't stay too long."

Jia Cong solemnly agreed: "Don't worry, father-in-law, this is natural."

Not long after, Jia Cong came to Lin Daiyu's yard, entered the house, and drove out Zijuan and other maids.

Then he gently hugged Lin Daiyu.

Perhaps she was used to it, Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes but did not stop him.

Jia Cong told her about inviting Tanchun to the birthday banquet.

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Sister San's birth was on the third day of March, wasn't it already over?"

is it?

Jia Cong had never noticed this point. Ming'er was not Tanchun's biological son.

He just wanted Lin Daiyu to live in the Grand View Garden for a few days.

Jia Cong couldn't help but smile and said, "It's because the third sister missed you that she asked you to stay in the Grand View Garden for a few days so that you and your sisters can have a chat. She said she hasn't seen you for a long time."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that you two are brother and sister. You teamed up to deceive me."

"I have no sisters or brothers, not even a widow."

Lin Daiyu originally wanted to tease Jia Cong, but when she said the latter part, her eyes turned red and she almost cried when she thought of the sad things.

Jia Cong hurriedly said with a smile: "Now that my uncle has arrived in the capital, why should Sister Lin sigh like Sima Niu?"

Sima Niu was a disciple of Confucius. He once lamented: "Everyone in this world has brothers, except me!"

Zixia then said to him, "You are smart, studious, knowledgeable, handsome and talented. A real man should have brothers. All people in the world are brothers!"

Jia Cong whispered in Lin Daiyu's ear: "Besides, you don't have any brothers or sisters now, but maybe you will have one in a year or two."

Lin Daiyu didn't understand for a moment and couldn't help laughing, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can it happen in just one or two years?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Now that my father-in-law is in good health, maybe next year, you will have a brother or sister. Why can't you have one?"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blush and asked, "Third Brother Cong, is that true?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was extremely happy.

It would be great if I could have had a younger brother or sister in these two years.

Not only did I have a companion and not be so lonely, but my father also had a successor.

The two of them exchanged a few more words, and then the little girl coughed outside.

This must be the little maid sent by Lin Ruhai to monitor them.

Jia Cong was so angry that he kissed Lin Daiyu lightly on the forehead before leaving.

Lin Daiyu glared at him fiercely with a look of coquettishness on her face and sent him out.

On the second day, Lin Daiyu went to the Grand View Garden as expected and talked with her sisters.

Later, he stayed in the Grand View Garden for a few more days.

As Jia Cong lived nearby, they naturally met more often.

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was August.

August is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sweet osmanthus is fragrant, and it is also a good time to eat crabs.

However, for Jia Cong, the most important thing is naturally the provincial examination.

After entering August, although Jia Cong felt that he was well prepared, he began to feel nervous.

Not only Jia Cong himself, but also the maids around him became nervous.

Before we knew it, the time for the provincial examination was getting closer and closer.
