As soon as Lin Daiyu got off the carriage, she hurriedly took Jia Cong to Lin Ruhai's residence to visit Lin Ruhai.
As soon as he entered Lin Ruhai's room, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
When they came to the inner room, they saw Lin Ruhai lying on the bed, her face was pale, without a trace of blood, her body was thin, her cheekbones were high, and she looked like she was dying.
When Lin Daiyu saw Lin Ruhai's appearance, her heart was cut by a knife. She couldn't bear it anymore, threw herself to the bed and burst into tears.
"Dad, your daughter is back to see you. What's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look at your daughter."
When Jia Cong saw Lin Ruhai's appearance, he not only frowned, but he didn't expect to be so ill. He was really dying.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried. Is it really possible to save her now that she's like this?
At this moment, Jia Cong was really unsure.
Jia Cong originally thought that Lin Ruhai was only in his forties, and it probably wasn't a serious illness. The most likely cause was poisoning. His aunt Jia Min died at a young age, and the death of her little cousin. It was an accident.
Lin Ruhai has been serving as the Salt Patrol Censor for many years, and he must have offended both the salt merchants and the private salt dealers.
Even offended the backers behind them.
These people want to get greater profits and if they can't win over Lin Ruhai, there is only one way to remove this stumbling block or destroy him.
These people will do anything for money.
Considering these aspects, Lin Ruhai should have been poisoned, including his aunt Jia Min, who might have been poisoned by a chronic poison.
If Lin Ruhai was really poisoned, he would still have some confidence in saving him.
The reason why he is so sure is because Jia Cong still has a treasure hidden in his hand.
They were a pair of red-eyed ice toads obtained from the old slave of the barbarian Khan when he killed him. This kind of toad is all white and lives on the snow-capped mountains, but its eyes are red and it looks very good-looking.
The Zhu Jing Ice Toad is the nemesis of poisons. No matter what kind of poison is poisoned, as long as it is alive at the time, it can be sucked out and the poison will be detoxified.
At the same time, this item is also a holy medicine for healing. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you are still breathing and are not completely dead, then as long as you take the Zhu Jing Bing Toad, the injury will naturally heal.
At that time, when he got this pair of treasures, Jia Cong was also ecstatic. He did not make any announcement, but secretly kept them without telling anyone, not even Qingwen and Han Nianci who were following him.
It’s not that I don’t believe them, but that once the news of this healing and life-saving treasure is revealed and reaches the emperor’s ears, he will definitely ask for it from him, and there is no way he can keep it.
The emperor controls the world, is rich all over the world, and lacks nothing. What they want most is to preserve their lives and live forever for thousands of years.
Once he knows that such a life-saving treasure has been born, he will naturally not let it go and will definitely think of taking it for himself.
As a minister, I simply cannot refuse the emperor's request.
If you dare not give it, they might send someone to raid your home and destroy your door in the next second.
Therefore, so far, only Jia Cong knows about the existence of this pair of Zhu Jing Bing Toad.
I usually hide it in the secret room of the secret room. This time I went out and quietly took one and put it on my body in case of emergency.
Let Han Nianci come over later to diagnose Lin Ruhai and see what the situation is, and then we can make further calculations.
If Lin Ruhai hadn't felt desperate, he probably wouldn't have let Lin Daiyu come back.
When Lin Daiyu came back this time, she probably planned to see her daughter one last time.
Lin Ruhai slowly opened her eyes when she heard Daiyu's cry.
Looking at the daughter in front of me, she is almost grown up, with a rosy face and a strong body. She is no longer as weak as she was when she was a child, and she can't help but smile with relief.
As long as his daughter can live well, he can be considered worthy of her dead mother.
Holding Lin Daiyu's hand, she said gently: "Yu'er, don't be sad. My father is fine. I can see that you are healthy, and my father will feel relieved. You should be well."
Lin Daiyu choked with sobs and said: "Dad, why did you tell me that you were so sick? Why didn't you tell me earlier? So that your daughter could come back to take care of you."
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "My dear daughter, you are not a doctor, so what will happen if I ask you to come back? Besides, I don't lack people to take care of me. If I let you know, it will make you frightened and have trouble sleeping and eating.
Your child has been weak since he was a child. If something happens to you again, how can I be worthy of your miserable mother? "
Lin Daiyu felt even more sad when she heard this.
The way my father is now is really scary. If something happens to him, he will be the only one left in this world.
"Dad, my daughter is in very good health now and is not weak at all. I can take good care of you."
Lin Ruhai nodded and looked at Jia Cong aside.
I saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a face as resolute as a knife and an axe, a head of thick black hair, a straight and slender figure, and the whole person looked sunny and handsome.
If the prediction is correct, this is his nephew Jia Cong, his future son-in-law. He is indeed a talented person.
Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with his son-in-law.
I have heard of Jia Cong's reputation before. On the battlefield in Liaodong, he dominated the battlefield, victorious in every battle, and never suffered a defeat, recreating the majesty of his ancestor Ning Rong Ergong.
It can be said that green is better than blue.
He was also happy that the Jia family had such descendants.
Later, I received a letter from my eldest uncle, proposing the idea of getting married, and I couldn't help but feel hesitant.
Although Jia Cong is already a young prince and famous all over the world, he is a military commander after all. If he has a vulgar appearance and cannot be impressed by his daughter, and he hastily agreed, wouldn't he be wronging his daughter?
So, he sent a few close people to the capital to investigate.
After getting to know Jia Cong's character, temperament, appearance, etc., he agreed to the marriage.
When Jia Cong saw Lin Ruhai looking at him, he quickly took a step forward and bowed with his hands raised: "My nephew Jia Cong, pay homage to Uncle Lin."
Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, no need to be polite. I've also heard a little about you. You've done well, you're ambitious, and you've brought glory to your ancestors."
Jia Cong said: "Uncle Lin is ridiculous. I just want to find a way out for myself so that I can protect my family from wind and rain."
Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with Jia Cong's answer. At least he was a family man.
His daughter will not suffer if she follows him.
"The fact that you have this idea shows that you are a family-oriented person. You are better than me at this point. From now on, Yu'er will follow you, and I will feel relieved. I hope you can treat Yu'er well, and I will leave Yu'er to you in the future. ”
When Jia Cong heard this, he quickly knelt down in front of the bed.
He vowed: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely take good care of Sister Lin, pamper her, love her for the rest of my life, and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance."
When Lin Daiyu heard that he even called her father-in-law, she rolled her eyes at him and lowered her eyes shyly.
When Lin Ruhai saw this, he chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm relieved now."
Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, what disease do you have? Didn't His Majesty send two imperial doctors here? Isn't there anything they can do?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "These doctors are all evasive. I don't know whether they have not discovered the disease or are afraid that I will know the disease. In short, they have not made a clear statement."
When Jia Cong heard this, he frowned. If the cause of the disease couldn't be found out, it would be useless to treat it.
This treatment focuses on prescribing the right medicine.
If you don’t even know the symptoms, how can you treat them?
Jia Cong was a little curious. Is this an illness or poisoning?
Thinking of this, he walked forward and put his hand on Lin Ruhai's pulse gate to check his pulse.
Lin Ruhai was a little surprised when he saw this and said, "Brother Cong, do you still know medical skills?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law only knows a little bit, but is not proficient. I have brought a doctor this time, and I will ask her to take a look at you to see if the disease can be discovered."
Jia Cong calmed down and carefully felt Lin Ruhai's pulse.
I found that the pulse was very messy and there were problems in many parts of the body. This was really a serious illness. No wonder other people were making vague excuses. If the root of the disease could not be found, they could only treat the head for headaches and the feet for pain in the legs. to too great an effect.
After sensing for a long time, Jia Cong found nothing.
In many cases, medical treatment is based on guesswork, based on physical symptoms to determine what the disease is.
Although I have studied a lot of medical skills, I have very little experience and am no better than others in diagnosis.
Jia Cong estimated that the doctors had not found the source of the disease.
Seeing Jia Cong open his eyes, Lin Daiyu said eagerly: "Brother Cong, have you found anything? Have you found out what disease my father has?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "It's hard to judge. I'll ask Nian Ci to come over later and see if she can diagnose it."
Lin Daiyu looked confused after hearing this, was there really nothing she could do?
"Brother Cong, I'm counting on you now. Do you have to help me cure daddy?"
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin, although my father-in-law's condition is very serious, we still have time and he will get better. Don't worry."
Lin Ruhai said: "Life and death are destiny, don't be too forceful, just let everything take its course."
At this time, Jia Lian walked in and said with a complaint on his face: "Brother Cong, sister Lin, you two didn't wait for me and ran here first. Wouldn't it make Uncle Lin think that I neglected him?"
After speaking, he walked forward and saluted Lin Ruhai: "My nephew Jia Lian, pay my respects to Uncle Lin."
Lin Ruhai said: "No need to be polite, my illness has really affected your brothers."
Jia Lian said: "Uncle Lin, please don't say that. You are an elder, and it is right for us to come and see you."
Although he doesn't have any great skills, Jia Lian is still very good at dealing with people and dealing with mundane matters, which is also one of his great strengths.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Lin missed her father-in-law and ran over as soon as she got off the car. I had no choice but to follow her. It's not like I didn't wait for my second brother."
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this. His brother was really awesome. He had just arrived and even his father-in-law had called him.
He looked at Lin Daiyu and saw that she glared at Jia Cong with a shy look on her face, but did not object. Then she looked at Lin Ruhai. Although her face looked bad, she was obviously in a good mood.
Several people talked again, and seeing that Lin Ruhai was a little tired, they left his room.
The three of them came outside. Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin, now that you are back home, you not only have to take care of your father-in-law, but also take care of the back house. Your father-in-law is seriously ill and cannot take care of things. You are the only master of the house. There are many things. You need to make the decision."
Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "Brother Cong, I have never done any of these things. There should be someone in the back house who makes the decision. Why do we need to interfere?"
Jia Lian said: "Sister Lin, my aunt is gone and my uncle has not remarried, so you will be respected in the back house. Even the aunts in the house will respect you. You are the daughter of the back house." Owner."
Jia Cong said: "Second brother is right. Since you are back, you are the mistress of this back house. You must declare your sovereignty to avoid being looked down upon by others. You can learn from what you have never done before. During this period, let Yuanyang Follow you.
Yuanyang has been with the old lady for many years, and is still very familiar with this matter. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her. Ningguo Mansion will also need you to take care of it in the future. Now is a good time to practice your skills.
Also, the person I brought will be responsible for your food during this period. In addition, no matter who sends it, you should not eat it. Let Nianci check all the food sent. . "
Lin Daiyu said with a puzzled look on her face: "Brother Cong, are you making a big deal out of a trivial matter? Can my family still harm me?"
Jia Cong sneered and said: "They are not your family. In this family, except for your father-in-law who will not harm you, you can't tell anyone else. Your aunt died long ago, and your father-in-law is also dying now, so you just Don't you think it's strange?
My father-in-law is the salt patrol censor, but he has offended countless salt merchants and the people behind them. These people are rich and powerful. It is very easy to bribe the servants in the house, so we have to be on guard. I can I don't want anything to happen to you.
The female guards, Yuanyang and others brought here this time are all based on you and are at your disposal. If someone in the house deliberately causes trouble and goes against you, they will be punished. Erya can do this. "
Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "I understand, brother Cong, I will listen to you and I will do my best. Then you should take more care of my father's illness. I can only count on you now."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, it's not my father-in-law. After my father-in-law rests for a while, I will take Nian Ci to diagnose him again. Then, I will discuss my father-in-law's condition with the two imperial doctors and brainstorm ideas. Let’s see if we can find the cause.”
Lin Daiyu said: "Well, with brother Cong here, I feel more at ease. Well, can you please stop calling me father-in-law? It sounds embarrassing."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "My father-in-law likes me to call him that. If I change my name and call him Uncle Lin again, he will definitely be unhappy. Since you said it, I'll just call him Uncle Lin outside from now on."
Lin Daiyu snorted and said, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
