dream of red mansion

Chapter 702
"Xiaolan, what are you doing?"

In Jia Rongyuan's small kitchen, a maid came in to boil water, and happened to meet Xiao Lan who was sneaking around.

"It's nothing~ My aunt is not feeling well. I made some medicine for her."

Xiaolan left with a small medicine jar.

The little maid didn't think too much about it. It's common for women to take medicine for some kind of illness.When she entered the kitchen, she frowned.

What stinks?

Xiaolan carried the medicine jar into Ling'er's room, poured out a bowl of medicine, and hid the medicine jar before carrying it to Ling'er's bedroom.

"Auntie, the medicine is ready."

"Bring it here." Ling'er retracted her right leg, knelt down on the bed, extended her left leg backwards and upwards, and lay down on the bed, changing the direction from the previous position.

Seeing Ling'er coming over, she didn't mind, just took out the packet of powdered medicine from under the pillow, and said to Xiaolan, "Sprinkle some into it as you did at noon."

Xiaolan complied, looking at the powdered medicine sprinkled in the decoction, she asked curiously, "Auntie, is this secret recipe of abortion medicine really useful?"

Ling'er was silent.

"I do not know either……"

"However, this soup made from carp with ramie, eucommia, donkey-hide gelatin, ephedra, and mugwort leaves does have the effect of preventing miscarriage. I used to see those aunts make it in the Earl's Mansion. For this reason, my mother once He lost his temper and dealt with quite a few people."

"Oh~"

Xiaolan handed the medicine bowl to Ling'er's mouth, Ling'er wrinkled her nose, but drank it without changing expression.The first time she drank it, she pinched her nose because the smell of the medicine was extremely unpleasant.

Seeing this, Xiaolan, who knew the smell of the medicine, couldn't help admiring her aunt from the bottom of her heart.My aunt is so smart and capable, well educated, well born, and so beautiful, why doesn't the second master want her?
"Then, are the movements that my aunt has been doing all the time taught by that old woman?"

Ling'er shook her head and said, "No, I read this from the "Book of Seeking Children", which said that doing such actions can increase a woman's chances of having children...

Xiaolan, my legs are sore, please help me raise my legs a bit. "

"Oh~"

……

Lin Ruhai did not agree to Jia Qing's request in the end.

But he didn't refuse, or make other extreme reactions.

After leaving the Lin residence, the heavy heart in Jia Qing's heart fell to the ground.

Finally, Lin Ruhai loved Daiyu enough, and he loved him enough, so that he would not hurt the father-son relationship between the two because of Daiyu.

This is the best ending so far:

Lin Ruhai didn't strongly object to him being with Daiyu.

Things have progressed to this point, his biggest worry seems superfluous, and whether he can marry Daiyu or not depends entirely on his ability.

After returning to Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qing summoned seven people including Youshi, Jia Yun, Jia Rong, Lai Sheng, Li Yan, and Yang Xu in the main hall to make a final explanation before leaving.

To sum it up in a few words:

During the period when he was not at home, family affairs, big or small, followed Jia Yun in foreign affairs, and respected Youshi in internal affairs.If Youshi and Jia Yun can't solve it, then go ask Jiamu.

Jia Zheng was not at home, and he left again, and the Dinghaishenzhen at home was Jia Mu.

After solving this worry, Jia Qing entered the garden.

If I get up early tomorrow, I may not have time to say goodbye to my sisters one by one. I have to say goodbye to them tonight.

After entering the garden, he went straight to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion in winter was very cold, so Zijuan ordered people to gather a few pots of charcoal fire in Daiyu's room.

The charcoal fire is smokeless charcoal purchased by Ningguo Mansion. It is specially used for heating the house in winter. On colder days, you can burn four or five pots in the house to keep it warm.

But even if ordinary people know about this method, they can't afford it.Not to mention ordinary families, even many big families feel distressed about the money spent on charcoal fire every winter.Therefore, good carbon is supplied on a case-by-case basis. Where can it be like Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where you can use as much as you want, and others dare not even gossip.

Stepping into Daiyu's door, I saw Daiyu sitting on the pit, talking to Ping'er opposite.Seeing him coming, Ping'er hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Did you bully elder sister Ping'er somewhere, and she doesn't want to see you like that?"

Daiyu was wearing a fluffy little padded coat and holding a small hand stove, which was very warm.

Jia Qing sat beside her and reached out to touch her small stove, ready to warm her hands.She opened it and said: "If you want it, ask Zijuan to get you one!"

"Don't bother her, I just want to bake a hand stove with my sister."

Daiyu rolled his eyes at him, seeing that Zijuan and other maidservants were not in front of him, and no one brought one for him, so she withdrew her hand and gave half of it to Jia Qing to touch.

"So warm!"

Daiyu's small hand stove is not only warm, but also fragrant, and feels very comfortable to the touch.

"Why doesn't my sister bake?" Jia Qing noticed that Daiyu's little hands were retreating again and again, so she grabbed them and wrapped them with her newly warmed hands and pressed them on the small hand stove, as if she was afraid that they would get a little cold.

Daiyu glared at Jia Qing shyly, but she didn't pull her hand away, and she didn't ask Ping'er why she was avoiding Jia Qing.

Jia Qing just held Daiyu's little hand without saying a word, and didn't have any other thoughts, just holding it.

After about ten or so breaths, Daiyu realized that such a quiet scene was about to become unbearable, so she said, "The adoptive father wants to find a marriage for my younger sister, why didn't my younger sister mention this to me?"

Daiyu was taken aback, she left Jia Qing's big hand, turned around holding the small hand stove, and said in a low voice: "Then will you let my father betroth me to someone else?"

"will not!"

Jia Qing said without hesitation.

Daiyu was silent for a while, and said: "That's all. Since I know you can't, why should I tell you. Anyway, my father loves me and never pushes me. For three years, I've been waiting for you..."

Jia Qing sighed, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Sister Lin, thank you, thank you for trusting me so much!"

Daiyu, who hadn't cried just now, was embraced by her most beloved second elder brother at this moment, couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and cried out.

"So what if I don't believe you, who told me to be so stupid, I actually recognized you, which led to the current situation. Not only did my father worry about my affairs, but I was also disobedient. I am an unfilial daughter..."

"No, it's not like that, it's all my fault, my fault for not discovering my sister's feelings for me earlier, my fault for not realizing that I like my sister, but I have never dared to tell my foster father. My sister loves me deeply, but I am so tired that my sister It's all my fault that you are so worried, so hit me..."

Jia Qing stroked Daiyu's back, comforting her constantly.

"Cough cough cough..."

Daiyu is delicate and frail, and she coughs when she gets emotional.There happened to be hot tea nearby, so Jia Qing poured one and fed her a little, which made her feel better.

"I took an errand, and it will take about a month to come back..."

"What to do?" Daiyu raised her head, she just didn't know what to say, she just asked along.

"Welcome the Russian princess to Beijing for marriage."

"Oh……"

Daiyu didn't care about these things. It was because Lin Ruhai cared too much about these "major family and country affairs" that his health got worse and worse.

After a while, Daiyu asked, "Have you just entered the garden?"

Jia Qing looked down at her and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Daiyu suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and continued to lie in his arms. After a while, she said again: "Then you should go."

Jia Qing smiled and said, "No hurry, I'll talk to you later."

Unexpectedly, Daiyu sat up all of a sudden, and looked at him critically: "Are you deliberately delaying seeing her until late at night?"

"Uh……"

Jia Qing was speechless.

Although he didn't have such an idea, he really didn't mind visiting Hengwu Garden late at night. It would be a big deal to climb over the courtyard wall. Anyway, he stepped on it...

"That's right, the fourth younger sister is the most playful. They said that she often plays late into the night and stays up late. I'm going to catch her later." Jia Qing seemed to think that the "she" in Daiyu's mouth meant Xichun.

Daiyu frowned, and the skin between Daiyu's eyebrows bulged in the middle, making a very angry look: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"What on purpose?"

Daiyu looked at Jia Qing, her brows loosened, tears began to pool in her eyes that had just dried up not long ago, and she said: "You know my sadness, but you deliberately used it to vomit me..."

Small appearance wronged.

For some reason, Jia Qing suddenly had the thought of laughing.
