Chapter 503: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (5)
Ah Chun didn't answer. He knew Jia She didn't want him to answer, so he just wanted him to be a listener.
From the next day on, Jia She no longer tested the two of them on their homework.
Instead, he called people over directly, set up the chessboard with Shuangshuang, and started fighting back and forth.
After the game was over, Jia She was amazed at his daughter's superb chess skills.
Shuangshuang secretly sighed with Xiaojuzi in her heart.
"It turns out that Jia She is not a fool after all.
It seems that the original owner, without any guidance, was able to achieve such high attainments in chess. This is where it all came from."
Jia Cong was given several cold stares by his old father, and he lowered his head like a quail, not daring to say a word.
As time was very tight, Jia She asked Ah Chun to negotiate with the boatmen and added fifty taels of silver, asking them to go as fast as possible.
With the start of money, the boatmen worked harder.
So after about a month, the group rushed to Yangzhou Wharf.
From a distance, I could see a horse-drawn carriage with the markings of the Salt Inspectorate waiting at the dock.
Several young servants stared at the people coming down from the boat with sharp eyes.
Seeing this, Ah Chun stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, brothers, is this the carriage from the residence of Lord Lin, the Salt Inspector?"
When the servant heard someone asking this question, he nodded excitedly.
"Yes, yes, we are from the Salt Inspector's Mansion. Excuse me... are you the master of the Rongguo Mansion?"
"Yes, I am a servant of the headmaster of Rongguo Mansion.
Our Master She and the young lady are on the boat, preparing to hire a carriage."
"No need to rent, no need to rent. Ever since Grandpa passed away in the capital, we have been assigned to guard the dock every day."
Following Ah Chun to Jia She on the boat, the servant bowed down to him.
"My humble humble servant Lin Shan greets Master She."
Jia She did not bother to be polite with him, "Let the girl get in the car first."
Lin Shan was a man of few words. When he heard that there was a girl on the boat, he immediately asked the people he brought with him to block the road with a cloth.
Several carriages quickly arrived at the Salt Inspectorate's Mansion. Because Lin Shan had sent someone back to report, Lin Ruhai was already waiting at the door.
As soon as he saw Jia She, his eyes turned red and he bowed deeply.
"Brother..."
Jia She quickly stepped forward, helped him up, and patted his shoulder gently.
“I specifically asked the Emperor to send two imperial physicians to examine Min’er first.
Don't worry, everything will be fine. "
It seems that what people say about the deep love between Lin Ruhai and his wife cannot be false.
At this time, Lin Ruhai was only concerned with taking the imperial physician to see Jia Min as soon as possible, and completely forgot to send someone to take his cousin Shuangshuang to her room to wash up and rest.
Since no one cared, Shuangshuang followed Jia Cong silently to Jia Min's yard.
At this time, Jia Min's face was haggard, and she looked sickly and gray all over.
Even so, she still has an aura and beauty that is no different from that of an ordinary person.
It is not difficult to see what a beauty she must have been when she was young.
As soon as Jia Min saw Jia She, tears started to fall from her eyes.
"Brother, brother! I never thought that I would see you again in my lifetime."
Jia She hurried over, sat on the stool beside the bed, and replied softly.
"What are you talking about? When you get better, you can see me however you want.
This time, my brother has brought the imperial physician with him. Let them take a look at you.
Minor illnesses and disasters will pass with perseverance."
However, after the two imperial doctors took the patient's pulse, their expressions did not relax.
He only said, "Sir, let me first study how to prescribe medicine."
Not to mention the Lin Mansion's housekeeper who took the two imperial doctors to the side room to study the prescription.
On this side, Jia She and Lin Ruhai's hearts had sunk to the bottom.
If even the imperial physician is helpless, is there no hope of curing Jia Min's illness?
After a long while, the two imperial doctors came back and gave the prescription to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai became a doctor after suffering from a long illness and could understand some things.
Seeing that the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was indeed different from those prescribed by ordinary doctors, Lin Ruhai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that there is still a prescription means there is still a glimmer of hope.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then noticed the little girl in a green skirt and Jia Cong in a dark red robe standing quietly beside him.
"Who are these two, my uncle?"
"Oh, this is my daughter Yingchun, you little brat Jia Cong,
They love to play and be naughty. When they heard I was coming to Yangzhou, they insisted on following me and coming to meet their aunt and uncle.
Since they noticed it, Shuangshuang and Jia Cong naturally stepped forward to pay their respects to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.
Jia Min held the hand of one of her nephews and said, "Okay, okay, you are all good children. Thank you for still caring about your aunt."
He looked at Shuangshuang and continued, "Come to think of it, your aunt also gave birth to a cousin for you. She is only 5 years old this year."
It's just that she's not feeling well. She caught a cold a couple of days ago and is resting in bed.
In a couple of days, when she's well again, you two sisters can go and kiss her."
Shuangshuang naturally expressed her concern and expectations for her cousin.
Three days passed quickly, and Jia Min took the imperial physician's medicine, but there was no improvement at all.
After the imperial physician took Jia She and Lin Ruhai's pulse again, he was about to take them to the next room, but was stopped by Jia Min.
"Doctor, if you have anything to say, please say it to my face.
It has come to this, there is nothing to hide."
The imperial physician glanced at Lin Ruhai and Jia She, and Lin Ruhai also looked at Jia She. After all, he was the maiden's family member at that time.
Jia She gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.
"Say it!"
The imperial physician then bowed to everyone and spoke softly.
"Madam has been ill for more than a day or two. Her health has never been very good.
If you don't have children, you can still find a way to keep your energy going.
However, the lady had given birth to more than one child, and after such great joy and great sorrow, there was really nothing that could be done to save her.”
In fact, in one sentence, her body is not suitable for bearing children.
Or to put it more cruelly, you shouldn't marry someone who will bring harm to others.
After hearing this, Jia Min did not show any overly intense emotions.
She seemed very calm and accepted the fact.
That’s right, I know what the situation is like after being sick for so long.
The reason why he was reluctant to die was simply because his daughter was too young to let go.
Next, Jia Min began to arrange her funeral arrangements. She drove everyone out and left only Lin Ruhai and Jia She in the house.
Shuangshuang saw it clearly through Xiaojuzi's perspective.
Jia Min was entrusting her child to Jia She before her death. She wanted Jia She to take Daiyu back to the capital.
After all, Lin Ruhai is a grown man and he doesn't know how to educate a daughter.
"Brother, mother wrote to me saying that Daiyu, who was given to me, is engaged to Baoyu, who is from my second brother's family.
I just thought that when Yu'er married back to her maternal grandparents' home in the future, I would feel relieved.
It's a good thing you've come over, and Daiyu doesn't have to mourn for her sister, so would you mind taking her back with you?"
Looking at Jia Min's hopeful eyes, Jia She really didn't want to break her dream.
It’s hard to tell her that Jia Baoyu is really not a good match.
