Author: The Peak of the World
The snow fell earlier in Longyuan in the sixth year than in previous years.
On the third day of November, it rained for half a day, and in the evening it turned into snowflakes. When the night passed, the Grand View Garden was already covered in snow, giving it a winter scene.
In the morning, Jia Baoyu came out of Yihong Courtyard and enjoyed the snow scenery with great interest. He felt that most of the anger he had felt in the past few days had disappeared.
Since the assessment that day, Sister Bao's attitude has become more and more indifferent. Her mother and third sister have also complained that she does not seek to make progress, and even Xiren Sheyue refuses to stand on her side.
All this made him depressed, and he missed Sister Lin's goodness even more.
Especially when the weather is getting colder, Sister Bao wraps her figure in a coat, which invisibly makes him lose another third of his motivation.
Alas~
When I think of these troubles, even the snowy scene in front of me seems dirty.
When passing by the familiar peach grove, he casually broke off a peach branch and wrote half of it on the snow: Now that he has realized the feeling of sadness, he wants to stop talking. He wants to stop talking, but says that the weather has been cold all autumn.
After finishing writing, he was tilting his head and feeling a lot when he suddenly heard someone calling "Second Master" in the distance. He recognized the striking voice. Baoyu subconsciously crossed out the words on the ground, and then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Xiren is illiterate, so what if he could see it? He was really over-stressed.
At this time, Xiren had already followed the footprints on the snow to find him. Seeing him standing by the road from a distance, he complained without any words: "Second Master, it's so cold, why didn't you put on a piece of wool when you went out?"
Overcoat? If it freezes, the old lady will..."
She casually talked about the old lady's matter, but she felt it was inappropriate halfway through, so she quickly changed her words and said: "There is a female doctor here at the old lady's side. I heard that Uncle Jiao specially invited her. In the past, she was
I am treating the people in the palace."
"Female doctor?"
Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "That's right. Male doctors have many taboos, so naturally they can't treat it as well as female doctors!"
Saying that, he excitedly ran towards the old lady's courtyard.
"Second Master, don't worry!"
The attacker caught him in a hurry and reminded him: "Uncle Jiao has also come with us. He is talking to him in the front yard now. He may have to take the exam for the second master of the school later."
"Just take the test, I've already read both!"
Baoyu curled his lips, he had really rushed to the shelves in the past few days and read through all the official documents. Therefore, when he heard that Jiao Shun was coming, instead of being afraid, he was gearing up to avenge his previous humiliation.
"Second Master, you still have the nerve to say it!"
Xiren said angrily: "Fortunately, Uncle Jiao sent another copy to Third Master, otherwise those scraps of paper wouldn't last until the Year of the Monkey!"
Jia Baoyu could only say something to him, how smooth it was to cut it before, but how painful it was to lead everyone to put it back together afterwards - other things could be completely left to the maids and women, but Yihongyuan really knew each other.
He was the only one who did the work. Even if he didn't do it himself, he still had to be the supervisor. He couldn't push it away even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, Jiao Shun dragged Jia Huan into the trap again and sent him another set of the same learning materials. Baoyu was able to cut him off halfway and asked the gunmen - the Qing Dynasties raised by Jia Zheng - to copy them overnight.
One serving.
At the same time, in Jia Mu’s courtyard.
After watching the inexplicably familiar female doctor enter the old lady's bedroom, Jia Zheng withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiao Shun and said, "Zhan Shifu must be very busy these days, right?"
"That's natural."
Seeing that Sister Lin had not shown any flaws until now, Jiao Shun felt relieved and shook his head: "Mr. Wang Ge suddenly resigned at the court meeting, and the court has not yet drafted a new candidate for Minister Zhan. In the Mansion of Minister Zhan,
I am in charge of everything inside and out - to be honest with uncle, when I send Dr. Su back, I will be busy in the afternoon."
"It's hard for you to think about the old lady's illness despite your busy schedule."
Jia Zheng said, motioning Jiao Shun to sit down on the Arhat bed, and sighed: "Your Majesty is really kind-hearted, but he only allowed Wangge Lao to take up the official position, and did not hold him accountable at all."
Jiao Shun smiled but did not answer.
In fact, with Emperor Longyuan's temper, how could he let Wang Zhe go so easily?
Originally, I wanted to imprison him and subject him to severe punishment, so that I could dispel the hatred in my heart.
But the matter was stopped by the Supreme Emperor, who believed that Wang Zhe's purpose in doing so was the same as those officials in the Ming Dynasty who asked for court sticks. They wanted to have a clear name, or even a posthumous name.
The more harshly you punish him, the more it will be like fulfilling him, and it will leave more bad name to the emperor.
Instead of doing this, it is better to handle it with care first, and wait until the recent turmoil has passed. Isn't it easy to deal with an official who has returned to his hometown?
Jiao Shun was not able to find out how the father and son exchanged opinions, but judging from the decree issued, it was undoubtedly the Supreme Emperor who had the upper hand in the end - so the edict was actually equivalent to announcing the Supreme Emperor's second prison sentence.
country.
However, there is no need to talk about these unknown details to an idle person like Jia Zheng.
After chatting for a few more times, Jiao Shun felt a little thirsty. He picked up the tea cup and just lowered his head to take a sip when he suddenly heard a scream coming from inside.
The tea cup in his hand trembled, and he almost poured the tea on himself.
Could it be that Sister Lin was exposed?
How can it be?!
I had put so much effort into it, and even asked Sister Lin to imitate Marlon Brando and stuff two balls of cotton into her mouth. Even Xiangyun said that she seemed to be a completely different person. How could the dim-eyed Jia Mu possibly recognize it?
come out?
At this time, Jia Zheng also stood up suddenly, looked at each other with Jiao Shun, and walked into the inner room first.
Jiao Shun also put down his tea cup and followed closely.
When they entered the inner room, they saw Si Qi protecting Sister Lin who was wearing a veil and huddled in the corner. The old lady was excitedly trying to break through the obstruction of Yuanyang and others, while shouting repeatedly: "Min'er, Min'er, you
Don’t you recognize me anymore?! Min’er, my poor Min’er!”
Min'er?
After hearing this, Jia Zheng suddenly realized: "It's strange that I always feel that this doctor is a bit familiar, but it turns out that his facial features and figure are quite similar to that of my sister."
Tsk~
Jiao Shun was speechless for a moment. No matter how resourceful he was, how could he have imagined that there would be such an accident?
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Tanchun's eyebrows may have followed those of her aunt, and paired with Lin Daiyu's eyes, it would be perfectly normal for her to resemble Jia Min.
Seeing Lin Daiyu huddled in the corner, her eyes filled with tears, Jiao Shun was afraid that her true feelings would be revealed, so he hurriedly said: "Why don't you ask Dr. Su to go out for a while?"
He then apologized to Jia Zheng and said, "Uncle, don't blame me. After all, she is a female doctor and has no exposure to the world."
Si Qi immediately protected Lin Daiyu and walked out. As soon as she went out, tears poured down from sister Lin's face.
Si Qi was just called in temporarily to help. She didn't know the true identity of the person in front of her. She thought she was really frightened by the old lady. While feeling contemptuous, she said comfortingly: "Doctor Su, don't be afraid, the old lady is too."
It's just a misidentification, there is absolutely no malicious intent."
Lin Daiyu just choked and sobbed, unable to reply.
Of course she was not frightened, but seeing the old lady in critical condition and still chanting her mother's name touched her heart.
After finally calming down a bit, I couldn't help but think sadly that I had even forgotten what my mother looked like. I had pretended so many times in front of the mirror these days, but I never noticed anything strange about it.
So the tears that had just stopped flowing down again like broken pearls.
While she was grieving, a Supa was suddenly handed to her, followed by words that were so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar: "Sister, please stop crying. When you cry, I will also..."
But if it’s not Baoyu, what else could it be?
Lin Daiyu was stunned on the spot, almost subconsciously going to pick up the handkerchief.
At this time, Xiren hurriedly pulled Baoyu's sleeve and said angrily: "Why is the second master so crazy? Be careful to scare the doctor!"
For a moment, both of them broke free from the illusion of the past. Jia Baoyu took back the veil nonchalantly and looked at the female doctor in front of her. Her figure and appearance were almost the same as those of Sister Lin. Why was she so startled just now? When she saw
When she cries, do you subconsciously treat her as Sister Lin and coax her?
Yes!
It must be because I miss Sister Lin too much recently.
He cleared his throat, trying to resolve the embarrassment: "The doctor is not inside for diagnosis and treatment, but why is he outside..."
Halfway through the question, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "Is it the old lady?!"
"Master Bao, don't think too much."
Seeing this, Si Qi hurriedly explained: "Doctor Su was frightened by the old lady. The old lady is fine inside now."
"Oh~"
Baoyu didn't think there was anything strange. The old lady often did strange things since she became confused. Even her own grandson was shocked, let alone an outsider she met for the first time.
Immediately, he bowed slightly to the doctor and quickly went inside to check the situation.
After he left, Lin Daiyu felt mixed emotions.
Originally, to this day, she had long been indifferent to her past feelings, but the words "Sister, don't cry" just now, coupled with the fact that the old lady mistook herself for her mother, made her heart confused.
Si Qi on the side was full of disgust, thinking that Dr. Su was not that frail little girl, but why did he end up like this after being frightened by the old lady.
Can we still diagnose and treat the old lady?
Just when she was a little impatient and wanted to urge Dr. Su to calm down and wait for the summons, she saw Jia Baoyu retreating from the inner room and said with a look of resentment: "Last time, Brother Jiao took the exam as soon as he came.
Why don't I take the exam this time?"
After a pause, he hurriedly ordered Xiren: "Call She Yue back quickly and tell her not to disturb Sister Bao first - well, I thought I would avenge my shame in front of her, but Brother Jiao didn't take the exam.
Already."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time now."
Xiren said: "Actually, even if you don't take the exam, it would be better for the second master and grandma to get closer to each other."
"Don't I want to be close to her?"
Jia Baoyu smiled bitterly: "Since Qingwen left, I have been there three times and been rejected three times. Even when I bumped into her outside, she was only willing to talk nonsense - even Sister Lin was not like this back then..."
He just complained casually, but how did he know that the person involved was right in front of him?
And hearing that he compared herself with Baochai, and even used the same tactics on Baochai that she used to deal with him, Lin Daiyu's newly torn softness in her heart immediately became extremely cold and hard, she silently turned her head, not wanting to look at this passionate young man again.
.
At this time, Jiao Shun also retreated from the inner room, nodded to Baoyu, then approached Sister Lin and asked: "Doctor Su, can you still hold on? The old lady has already fallen asleep. Do you want to go in and take a look again, or...
…”
Lin Daiyu bit her red lips, shook her head for a while and said: "Since I have fallen asleep, how can I still ask for a diagnosis?"
"How about we wait until next time?"
Jiao Shun turned around and rushed to consult Jia Zheng, who was following him.
Jia Zheng sighed and said helplessly: "That's all we can do."
After saying that, he ordered someone to take out a fifty-tael silver note and give it to the doctor to appease the doctor.
However, Lin Daiyu refused to accept it and said in a low voice: "No reward for no merit. If I can help the old lady next time, it won't be too late for me to collect more medical fees."
Seeing her like this, Jia Zheng gained more confidence in her, so he made a serious appointment for the next consultation time, and reminded Dr. Su that it was best to cover up, lest the old lady admit the wrong person again.
However, he could not imagine that the 'Doctor Su' in front of him was already trying his best to conceal his appearance.
As for Jia Baoyu, when she heard the voice of "Doctor Su", she actually shook her head secretly, thinking that she was really stunned just now, how could she recognize her as Sister Lin?
Not to mention the difference in body shape, appearance, and voice, just the name of this 'little woman' - how could Sister Lin be any kind of woman?!
So until he and Jia Zheng sent Jiao Shun out of the door, he didn't look at "Doctor Su" again. Of course, "Doctor Su" didn't look at him again either.
Waited outside.
Jiao Shun asked Si Qi to get into his family's carriage, saying that he had something to do and wanted to go to Ningguo Mansion, so he asked her to go back first.
Then he walked to the street corner alone and quietly got on Lao Xu's carriage.
In fact, in order to avoid exposing themselves, the two of them had made an appointment in advance to go back to their respective homes, but Sister Lin was obviously not in the right mood, so Jiao Shun naturally couldn't leave her alone and go home alone.
When they got on the carriage, they saw Sister Lin facing a small mirror, gently touching her face and eyebrows.
Jiao Shun naturally understood that she was taking this opportunity to recall her mother, so she moved forward first, and then retreated to a corner in an exaggerated manner.
This move naturally woke up Lin Daiyu. She looked up in confusion, only to see Jiao Shun pretending to be embarrassed, rubbing his nose and saying, "Should I call myself my son-in-law at this time?"
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at him angrily, then looked down at the mirror and said quietly: "I completely forgot about my mother's appearance, and I haven't noticed anything wrong after so many days."
"Maybe this is God's will!"
Only then did Jiao Shun come forward, put his arm around her waist and said, "How could it be such a coincidence otherwise? We didn't have any reference, so we just dressed up as my mother-in-law - that camera I mentioned a while ago, you
But do you still remember? Why not just take a picture like this so that I can have someone to look after when I think of my mother-in-law in the future."
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly and leaned into his arms.
I originally intended to mention that Jia Baoyu had "admitted the wrong person" just now, but then I thought that I had already made an agreement with Jiao Shun, so why bother to mention that annoying thing again?
At this time, Jiao Shun also lowered his head and looked at his reflection in the mirror, thinking that his cheap mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and aunt looked like this.
