Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 115: The Lord and the Queen Mother have different intentions?

The medicine was a large package, with the words "Nine-flavor Qianghuo Decoction" clearly written on the outside. I opened it and found seven doses. It was just normal medicine.

Tao Xingjian closed his mouth tightly, looked at it inside and out, and then handed it to Aunt Meng.

Daiyu looked at Xueyan and asked, "Who sent it?"

"The Feng family of the Divine General said that Mr. Feng was invited by Mr. Bao to attend the banquet at our house. Later, I heard that the girl had caught a cold and was not feeling well.

"Now we have heard that the second wife of the Wang family has passed away. I am afraid that the young lady will be sad and become seriously ill. Madam Feng has sent this medicine to the young lady so that she can take good care of herself and take good care of herself."

Xueyan glanced at Emperor Zhaoming with some trepidation.

Aunt Meng glanced at the medicine and nodded: "It's for treating colds."

Tao Xingjian didn't believe it.

Aunt Meng sighed and picked up the herbs for him to see: "Scutellaria baicalensis, Rehmannia root, Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica dahurica, Licorice root, Asarum, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Chuanxiong, Notopterygium wilfordii, that's right!"

Tao Xingjian stopped talking and warned Daiyu: "Feng Ziying from his family has the best relationship with Baoyu from the Jia family and Xue Pan from the Xue family. Don't have any contact with them in the future."

Daiyu smiled and agreed: "I remember."

"There is also their East Mansion. The memorial submitted by Jia Zhen has been approved by His Majesty. They will probably leave the capital after Wang's funeral. They may not want to ask you for intercession, so ignore them."

Tao Xingjian kept nagging, "There is also the Xue family. Now they can no longer rely on the Jia family, they can only rely on the Wang family. But I heard that Wang Ziteng's wife has a very bad relationship with this sister-in-law.

"Given the thick skin of the Xue family, who are born into a merchant family, there is no guarantee that they will not bother you. Fortunately, now that the Queen Mother has issued an order to copy the scriptures, you should just stay at home and live your own life. Don't be soft-hearted. Do you hear me?"

Daiyu nodded obediently and wrote them down one by one.

Emperor Zhaoming looked at Tao Xingjian like a fool. After a while, he finally lost his patience and said, "She can put all the Jia family, Wang family and those families in one bag. Do you still need to tell her about these?! Go away!"

Tao Xingjian thought about it and suddenly felt a sense of pride that his daughter had grown up. He couldn't help but pat Daiyu on the forehead and said, "In short, don't worry, don't waste your energy, and rest your body first!"

Daiyu nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Emperor Zhaoming simply couldn't bear to watch it, so he lifted his robe and walked out.

Daiyu accompanied Tao Xingjian and walked behind him all the way to the second gate. Lin Zhijie was waiting at the door in a carriage.

Emperor Zhaoming and Tao Xingjian got into the car, then quietly went out through the side door again and blended into the crowd.

Daiyu returned to her room and looked at Aunt Meng solemnly: "What's wrong with the medicine?"

"There are two herbs, Fangfeng and Xixin, in one bun, and the dosage is doubled." Aunt Meng spread the medicine on the table and said softly, "It seems that the Feng family knows something, so they came to give the girl some advice."

Saposhnikovia divaricata, Asarum (heart).

Daiyu felt a little relieved.

Feng Ziying was a man of decisive character. His father, General Feng Tang, was also a man who was quick to act but slow to speak in the court. However, it was unclear where his father stood in the court. The only thing we knew was that the Feng family had a very good relationship with the Jia family.

Even when Qin Keqing was seriously ill, Feng Ziying did not avoid suspicion and introduced a master of medicine to treat her. It was because of the treatment of this master that Qin's condition improved, which forced Mrs. Wang to use the witchcraft and nightmare technique to quickly end Qin's life.

Therefore, it seems that the Feng family is at least aware of Qin's identity.

In this way, even if they think of me as the cause of Mrs. Wang's death, I think they won't blame me for my recklessness. Then, this warning medicine package, I'm afraid it means that someone outside knows that someone is going to take action against me?

"It's not a big deal. Just remember the favor." Daiyu ordered Xueyan to go to the Feng family to express her gratitude and inform them that "the Empress Dowager has summoned you and ordered you to copy scriptures and pray for blessings behind closed doors."

It is appropriate that this news be spread through this channel.

Then, Daiyu pointed to her own beauty couch under the window and told Qingwen, "Send someone to move this out first."

Aunt Meng tried hard to hold back her laughter.

When she saw His Majesty lying on it just now, she had already predicted the fate of the couch.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu immediately looked at the embroidered cushion that Emperor Zhaoming had just sat on, frowned and said, "Take this out as well."

Qingwen also understood, and while holding back her laughter, she ordered everyone to move to the warehouse first.

Daiyu picked up another embroidered cushion and sat down. She thought for a while and then said, "It would be better to make a separate study."

From now on, whether it is Emperor Zhaoming, Tao Jian, or anyone else, it is better to entertain them in the study.

"The girl has lived in a cramped place like Rong Mansion for too long. When Supervisor Tao and his men were cleaning up the house, they didn't think of these things.

"Didn't you tell Miss San the other day that you wanted to rebuild the garden? Why not also change the layout of your residence as well?"

Aunt Meng advised.

Lin Daiyu nodded happily: "Aunt is right."

After sending everyone away, he carefully asked Aunt Meng, "Aunt, in your opinion, why did the Queen Mother ask me to come over?"

Aunt Meng smiled and said: "It's not the Queen Mother who wants to see you, it's the Lord who wants to see the girl!

"Your Majesty is a suave person and often goes out of the palace to wander around. Although he only came here once, later on, Supervisor Tao came more frequently. So the Emperor heard about it.

"Mr. Lin was personally selected as the third place in the imperial examination by the Supreme Lord. He first stayed in the imperial court for two years, then became the chief clerk of Ji County. After four years, he was promoted back and stayed in Lantai Temple for another four years. It can be said that the Supreme Lord watched him grow step by step.

"Someone had complained that the girl... was trying to get close to His Majesty. His Majesty immediately turned hostile and said that she was Lin Ruhai's daughter, so it was impossible! But he still wanted to see the girl before he could feel at ease.

"Now seeing the girl's clear eyes and elegant temperament, I am even more convinced that it is slander. So the Supreme was in a hurry to leave and deal with the person who made the false accusation.

"The Queen Mother liked the girl very much and told me to take care of her without worry. As for the matter of copying the scriptures——"

At this point, Aunt Meng's expression became more serious, and Daiyu quickly put away her embarrassed and angry look and listened seriously.

"What the Supreme Master meant was that a girl is a girl, and although it is good for her to be self-reliant and strong, and to cleanse the country of its corruption, it is also good; but for a girl, it is still best for her to be chaste, quiet, and docile.

"Since the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, and the girl is unable to study behind closed doors, then Taiji Palace will help her.

“The Supreme One said that the girl should reflect on herself behind closed doors and think about the most appropriate amount of involvement in these matters outside of the Second Gate.

"The Queen Mother said, young lady, you need to temper your heart, because the storms ahead will only be greater; if your heart is not strong enough, then all your previous energy will be wasted."

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this.

The words that the Grand Master and the Queen Mother gave to me were actually different? !

Aunt Meng thought about it and chuckled: "The Queen Mother is still the same as before. She is most impatient when people say that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.

"Girl, don't think that she doesn't talk to you much, but in her heart she must agree with you seeking justice for yourself!"

Daiyu smiled.

I haven't yet sought justice for myself. I wonder if the Queen Mother will support me in moving forward?
