Chapter 391 Dream

Lin Ruhai was supported by a servant and walked into Daiyu's room. When he saw that the imperial doctor was giving Daiyu acupuncture, he didn't dare to disturb her. He just waited anxiously.

After a while, when he saw the imperial doctor retracting the needles, he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wang, how is my daughter?"

Mr. Wang turned around and saw Lin Ruhai, and hurriedly got up and walked. A gift.

"Don't worry too much, Mr. Lin. Miss, this is a heart disease. She must have experienced extreme emotions such as great sadness and great joy in one day, causing chest congestion and even fainting. .

The official has already given the young lady an injection. Maybe it won’t take long before she wakes up.

In addition, I will prescribe two more prescriptions for the young lady’s recovery. , take care of her according to the prescription, and after a few days, the lady will be fine."

As he spoke, Doctor Wang involuntarily raised his sleeves and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

There is no way, no matter who is happily having lunch with his family, and being hurriedly invited into a carriage, and driving all the way to come here to diagnose patients, he will be tired.

Fortunately, he was a frequent visitor to Rongguo Mansion, and he had examined Daiyu at the request of Jia Mu before. Therefore, it is not too difficult to diagnose and treat this time.

It was just the bumps on the carriage that almost shook his old bones to pieces!

Even so, I dare not complain.

There are two court officials here, one with a deeper background than the other, both of whom he cannot afford to offend.

Lin Ruhai felt relieved and felt a little guilty when she noticed Dr. Wang's behavior.

Since the Lin family is not a noble family, they cannot invite the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to treat illnesses at their residence. Before, it was only Emperor Ning Kang who took the initiative to send people from Taiyuan Hospital to visit the house twice.

It’s just the Chinese New Year, and most medical clinics are closed, so it’s not easy to get a doctor. In particular, the doctor Lin Ruhai often invited was told by someone a few days ago that he was going back to the countryside to visit relatives.

Jia Lian said that Dr. Wang, who often treated Jia Mu, lived not far away, so it only took a quarter of an hour to "invite" him back in person.

This made Lin Ruhai feel that Jia Lian was reckless, but at the same time she couldn't help but sigh that Jia Lian was really considerate towards Daiyu.

"I have troubled Doctor Wang this time, please go down and have some tea."

Lin Ruhai cupped her hands and gave the old housekeeper a look, asking him to thank him with a generous gift.

Dr. Wang went down and wrote the prescription, and then, after some excuses, he took the generous gift from the Lin family and made a speech.Went back relieved.

Inside the house, Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Lian had sent away the imperial doctor, and then sat in front of Daiyu's bed, looking at the lying Daiyu with doting and concern.

That expression and eyes made Lin Ruhai frown.

He felt that Jia Lian was bullying him because of his physical disability and robbed him of his role.

After all, the way Jia Lian looks now, and the busy figure who seeks medical advice for Daiyu before and after, he is indeed more caring than his old father!

But thinking about Daiyu’s sudden fainting before, if Jia Lian hadn’t made unceremonious decisions in the Lin family, I’m afraid the Lin family would have been in a state of chaos and how could they have settled down so quickly.

Thinking about it, it’s hard to say anything rude to Jia Lian, as it would make him appear ungrateful.

So he ignored Jia Lian and stepped forward to take a closer look at his daughter's face. Then he said to Jia Lian: "You are returning to the capital for the first time today. I'm afraid everyone at home is waiting for you. Yu'er is here I'm watching, so don't delay here any longer."

"Yes."

Jia Lian didn't mean to pester him at this time. He knew that he had just He expressed his intention to marry Daiyu to Lin Ruhai. After expressing his rejection, Lin Ruhai was still able to tolerate him until now, which is already very self-cultivated.

"Then I'll come see Sister Lin later."

After standing up, Jia Lian added.

Lin Ruhai refused as soon as he heard it. You're too lazy to run, but I'm afraid you have bad intentions.

But after opening her mouth, Lin Ruhai finally sighed: "You have traveled a long way back to Beijing. After returning home today, just take a rest and don't have to come here again. If anything happens, I will send someone to notify you. ."

Jia Lian said nothing, said goodbye, and left.

"If you are serious, come and see your sister Lin again tomorrow." Lin Ruhai added.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then felt grateful, bowed deeply to Lin Ruhai, and then drifted away.

Lin Ruhai, after giving Zijuan and others a few words, returned to the main room.

But his heart was never as calm as it was before Jia Lian passed away.

Thinking over and over what happened today, Lin Ruhai felt very tired, and suddenly felt sleepy, so he lay down.

Maybe he was thinking something in his mind and fell into a dream.

As expected, the self in the dream passed away soon, but for some unknown reason, his soul still stayed in the world, watching everything.

He saw his daughter was lonely and helpless in Jia's house.Yi, I feel depressed and miserable all day long. I also saw Jia's mother trying to marry her, but Mrs. Wang secretly obstructed her in every possible way.

He clearly saw Mrs. Wang’s schemes and slander against his daughter, and all of this made him angry.

The deceased wife suddenly appeared and scolded Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was so ashamed that she suddenly turned into a ghost and uttered evil words that would make her mother and daughter live as short a life as possible!

This shocked Lin Ruhai, and he was about to step forward to argue with her. Unexpectedly, the scene changed, and in the blink of an eye, her daughter was married, and her mother-in-law was none other than the Wang family.

Due to her frailty, her evil mother-in-law, Wang, made things difficult for her day after day, and she cried all day long, and soon she became terminally ill.

Lin Ruhai was anxious and regretful, but unable to do anything. Faintly, he seemed to hear his daughter's words of resentment towards him.

I hate why he can’t protect her, hate why he doesn’t find her a son-in-law who can take care of her and protect her, why he makes her suffer like this...

These words made his heart twist like a knife, and he woke up from the pain before he knew it.

He raised his head and glanced at the clock in the room. He had only slept for less than half a quarter of an hour!

My mind was in a trance, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

He didn’t quite understand why he had such a bizarre nightmare, but he knew that he couldn’t take it lightly.

People in the world say that when a person is about to die, his soul enters the underworld and can channel spirits.

What if this was God’s message to him, how could he just let it go? Also, Jia Zheng's wife, Wang, seemed to be a kind person in the past, so why did he turn her into such a malicious person in his dream?

Yes, I still remember that before Min'er passed away, when it came to the personnel at home, she seemed to criticize the two sisters-in-law, but he had never cared about such trivial matters at home before.

Is it true that the relationship between the deceased wife and Mrs. Wang is not harmonious, or is it because I am a villain, and based on this, I doubt that she will treat Yu'er harshly in the future?

This is not important anymore.

Don’t say that they are unwilling to get married. Even if they change their minds, with such concerns in their hearts, it is naturally impossible to send their daughter to them again.

But if this is the case, who should I entrust my daughter to?

The famous talents in Beijing are either engaged or married. Although some of the unknown people must be good, but since they are unknown, he naturally doesn't know who is good and who is bad.

He didn’t have time to identify them one by one.

If you only look at your parents’ family background and easily betroth Yu’er to her, you will feel at ease.

What if he missed the mark and delayed Yu'er's life, wouldn't it just be in line with the terrible dream just now?

Do you really want to agree to Brother Lian’s request?

Thinking of Jia Lian, Lin Ruhai kept sighing.

Frankly speaking, even in his eyes, Jia Lian's excellence is something he admires endlessly.

The conditions Jia Lian mentioned before also made him very excited.

If Jia Lian can really keep his word, even entrusting Yu'er to him would be a shortcut. It would save him trouble and trouble, and perhaps allow his daughter to have a safe and smooth life.

The only concern is that Jia Lian cannot give her the title of head wife.

Although Jia Lian promised that everything about marrying Yu'er would be handled with the etiquette of a true wife.

But that’s exactly what it is, if you don’t have the title of a head wife, but you enjoy the treatment of a head wife, you are afraid of causing unwarranted criticism or even disaster for your daughter.

Although as Jia Lian, he can follow the ancients and use the title of equal wife or wife to correct his name.

However, these titles are not common practice in this dynasty. In the eyes of most people, they are just euphemistic expressions for concubines.

Perhaps in some earlier dynasties, a common wife was really a wife, like a wife, and she was really a wife. Just like some emperors of the dynasties before the Tang Dynasty, some of them canonized more than one queen.

But that is not this dynasty after all.

The emperor of this dynasty canonizes only one queen.

If the emperor is like this, let alone the common people?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai was relieved that Jia Lian did not use these words to confuse him.

Unable to make up his mind, Lin Ruhai recruited Lin Youquan to come in again.

Now he can only discuss such important matters with the servant who has taken care of him since childhood.

Regarding what Jia Lian said earlier, he only concealed the fact that he was willing to adopt the child to his Lin family.

Because Lin Ruhai knew that Lin Youquan, an old servant who had been born and raised in the Lin family and was loyal to the Lin family, would not care less about the blood of the Lin family than he did.

If Lin Youquan knew that even if he had no son, it would be possible for his descendants to inherit the Lin family, Lin Youquan would definitely spare no effort to facilitate it.

Lin Ruhai didn’t want Lin Youquan to defect to Jia Lian all of a sudden.

He wanted to hear the old servant’s more objective opinions.

"The Marquis wants to marry a female son-in-law?"

Because the Lin family's heirs were declining, especially after Daiyu's younger brother died at the age of three, the Lin family actually raised Daiyu as a boy.

Therefore, old servants like Lin Youquan always call Daiyu the female master.

Lin Youquan was a little surprised and a little surprised by what Lin Ruhai said.

Unlike Lin Ruhai, he felt that this was a great thing almost as soon as he heard it.

First of all, Jia Lian has a distinguished status, good character and talents, and even being a concubine with him is not considered an insult to most women.

If nothing else, let’s just say that given Jia Lian’s current conditions, if the news were released that he wanted to take a concubine to raise his children, I don’t know how many high-ranking families in the capital would be eager to have their concubines down. marry.

Even if the conditions of three written letters and six etiquettes and eight carriages of sedan chairs are added, I am afraid that even the legitimate daughters of famous families will have many wishes.

After all, Jia Lian was not only young, handsome, and promising, but he also came from a century-old palace and was also a marquis himself.

Being able to be involved in a nepotistic relationship with Jia Lian will bring inestimable benefits to both oneself and the family.

Not to mention, Jia Lian promised more than this to the Lin family.

Secondly, to put it bluntly, if the Lin family did not have Lin Ruhai, they would only be regarded as the nobility they once were.

In today’s Lin family, not to mention the center, no one else is even serving as a local court official.

It is conceivable that once Lin Ruhai died of illness, the Lin family would completely become a gentry family.

Therefore, even if Lin Ruhai didn't want the young master to be wronged, it would not be easy to find another good marriage for her.

In this case, why should we sacrifice the near for the far? Isn't it just right for a knowledgeable Marquis to take care of the young master throughout his life?

Finally.

Lin Youquan still has selfish motives.

Since Lin Ruhai tried unsuccessfully to find his heir that year, he seemed to have lost his mind.

He knew that Lin Ruhai had planned to let a prestigious member of the clan succeed him as the clan leader after his death.

As for his own lineage...

It can only be cut off.

He has no bloodline successor, which can be regarded as God’s will.

But Lin Youquan was unwilling to give in and tried to persuade Lin Ruhai. He knew that Lin Ruhai was also hesitant.

Lin Ruhai looked down on those people in the clan who were greedy for profit, and did not want the clan to fall into intrigues because of him.Yes, that is not in line with his true intentions.

In the end, my bloodline has been cut off, I’m sorry to my ancestors. Although there is nothing we can do about it, as long as we find an heir from the clan, it can still be regarded as an explanation in the end.

From the fact that Jia Lian wanted to marry Daiyu, Lin Youquan saw hope of persuading Lin Ruhai.

The reason why Lin Ruhai no longer wants to find an heir is because he is tired and does not want to work in vain.

But as long as the young master marries Jia Lian and has the backing of a dignified marquis, he will naturally be able to take care of the Lin family in the future.

Then even if the Lin family cannot turn over, there is at least hope of growing the family.

As long as the family grows, maybe the next generation will have the seeds for reading?

Given the opportunity to turn the Lin family around again, Lin Ruhai must not be able to refuse it.

In this case, Lin Youquan also has a new master to serve, and he does not need to take his family away from the Lin family after Lin Ruhai's death.

Although Lin Youquan wanted Lin Ruhai to agree immediately, he also knew Lin Ruhai's concerns.

So he changed his approach and tried his best to dissuade Lin Ruhai without offending Lin Ruhai's feelings.

"However, our Lin family is a century-old family, and if word spreads about Yu'er and Ren's side chambers, I'm afraid they will be ridiculed." Lin Ruhai finally expressed his worries head-on.

When Lin Youquan heard this, he didn’t know what to say.

But he has already seen that Lin Ruhai is actually optimistic about Jia Lian and wants to agree, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

If not, how about trying someone else?

If Lin Ruhai dares to propose that the young master be his concubine, Lin Ruhai will definitely fall out.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Youquan suddenly said: "The master's worries are not unreasonable, but I think the Marquis's treatment of the female master is really sincere.

The master was before I didn’t see how anxious the Marquis was when he found out that the young master fell ill.

I heard from the maids that the Marquis personally carried the young master back to his boudoir..."

/>Lin Ruhai frowned, this brat dared to hug his daughter before he even agreed!

But there was nothing I could do. I hugged her and said nothing to help.

Since this matter was seen by the maids, if it spread, I'm afraid it would damage Yu'er's reputation.

I don’t know if it happened suddenly and the kid didn’t have time to pay attention, or if it was done deliberately to force him to submit.

If it is the latter, itsThe heart should be punished.

Lin Ruhai thought bitterly, and then heard Lin Youquan add: "Instead of worrying here, why don't you ask the young master what you want?

Although the marriage of the children is , are all orders from parents, after all our families are different.

Madam left early, the young master and the master have been dependent on each other for so many years, the master should love the young master more.

If the young lady is unwilling, then of course there is no need to say more. No matter how many benefits Jiahou has, we cannot allow the young lady to marry.

Sir, don’t you think so?"

Huh?

Lin Ruhai suddenly felt that what Lin Youquan said made sense.

Since I can’t make a decision myself, I’ll leave it to Yu’er to decide.

Even if she decides something wrong in the future, she won’t blame me too much.

The reason why I was entangled before was because I guessed that Yu'er might admire Jia Lian, and Jia Lian behaved too well, which made him embarrassed.

If you guessed wrong, then even if Jia Lian spread his words to heaven, you don’t have to pay attention to it.

A feeling of sudden enlightenment came to Lin Ruhai's heart.

"Well, that's it. After Yu'er wakes up, I'll ask her what she means."

Lin Ruhai nodded, finally feeling a lot less stressed.

Lin Youquan went down with a smile on his face.

There was a hint of smile in his eyes.

The master is devoted to public service and never pays attention to small things.

But as the manager, he can see clearly.

Whether it was in Yangzhou or this year in the capital, according to his cold eyes, the young master was very close to the Marquis.

Every time the Marquis comes over, the young lady will become more cheerful.

It can be seen that even if the young master does not admire the Marquis, at least he has a great impression of him.

Under such circumstances, given the personality of the young master, he probably would not refuse the Marquis who took the initiative to express his feelings.

This matter is very promising.
