Chapter 3
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My daughter still remembers Little Young Master's kindness that day."
But then, Lin Ruhai furrowed his brows, obviously feeling that Daiyu's way of addressing him was not right.
Yu Cun and this Little Young Master were of the same generation, and Yu Cun was Daiyu's teacher.
But this Little Young Master was not that old …
"Is this Big Brother here to visit Mother?" Daiyu grabbed Lin Ruhai's sleeve tightly and asked softly.
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, thinking that there was nothing wrong with calling him that.
"I'm here to see my younger brother, He Lin. He's also in your residence." He Shen spoke first.
Daiyu's head was tilted up as she obediently listened to him speak.
He Shen met Daiyu's gaze, and unconsciously said in a low voice, "I'm also here to see you …"
"See me?" Daiyu looked back at Lin Ruhai in confusion.
Lin Ruhai immediately became nervous.
His daughter's body was weak, and he had consulted countless doctors, but none of them could cure her.
Now that He Shen mentioned it again, he could not help but worry. Could it be an incurable disease?
He Shen looked her up and down. Because of his gentle gaze, Daiyu did not feel uncomfortable, so she did not try to hide, and just let He Shen stare at her.
Daiyu was young, and He Shen was not old either, so it was not inappropriate for him to look at her like this.
But Lin Ruhai could not help but feel nervous, and even his facial features were slightly distorted. Where was his usual seriousness?
"You've grown taller, and your hair is longer …"
Daiyu listened, and she could not help but raise her small hand to touch her head, and then touched her hair bun. The corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
He Shen held Daiyu's wrist and looked at Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai suddenly realized that he had something to say in private.
Lin Ruhai: "Did Yu 'er visit your mother today?"
Daiyu: "Not yet."
Lin Ruhai: "Then let's go now."
Daiyu nodded and walked out.
But when she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she suddenly turned back to look at He Shen, and then walked away.
He Shen's heart was about to melt from that look.
He really didn't know that Sister Lin was so adorable when she was young.
He wondered what kind of awe-inspiring magnificence it would have when it grew up.
"This way, please." Lin Ruhai raised his hand and invited He Shen to another courtyard.
Jia Yucun followed behind.
The three of them quickly sat down in the room. The servant girl served tea and couldn't help but look at He Shen curiously.
He Shen's gaze was slightly lowered, as if he was deep in thought.
Lin Ruhai's heart sank when he saw him like this.
"Little Young Master, my daughter's health …"
He Shen raised his head and said in a low voice, "I'll write a prescription for you.
From now on, I'll change the prescription every three months. "
In fact, if conditions permitted, she should take the medicine for seven days before taking her pulse and giving the medicine again.
Lin Ruhai trusted He Shen's words very much and immediately nodded. "Little Young Master, how about you rest in the Lin residence today?"
He Shen nodded and said, "Change Ling Zheng's medicine too."
Lin Ruhai's eyes brightened. He finally had to admit that the prescription he obtained from the Taoist temple was most likely from the Little Young Master in front of him.
The Little Young Master was young, but when he thought about it, there were so many extraordinary people in the world, so he didn't feel shocked.
He Shen stayed in the Lin residence that day.
Lin Ruhai led He Shen around the residence and accompanied him for a meal before settling him in a courtyard.
He Shen, He Lin, and Jia Yucun stayed in the courtyard.
When He Lin heard He Shen's footsteps, he turned into a ball and crashed straight into He Shen's arms.
"Elder Brother!" He Lin raised his head and grabbed He Shen's sleeve. His eyes shone brightly.
His skin was darker, but the flesh on his face was firmer.
He didn't cry.
After following Jia Yucun around, He Lin completely broke away from his previous clingy image.
He Shen hugged him and then led He Lin inside.
He Lin chattered endlessly about how good Yangzhou was …
He Shen said, "How about staying in Yangzhou?"
He Lin was frightened and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no."
He Shen rubbed his head and chuckled, asking, "How's your learning?"
He Lin straightened his neck and said with a serious face, "Very good." But there was a hint of wanting to be praised between his eyebrows.
He Shen looked at him suspiciously.
"Teacher said so too."
He Shen nodded, "Then let's go back to the capital."
He Lin was a little reluctant, "But, but Teacher still has to stay in Yangzhou …"
"He Lin, do you want to enter an official school?"
"Yes!" He Lin nodded hard.
"Then let's go back to the capital."
He Lin had learned a lot during this year's travel.
At least, He Shen was very satisfied with He Lin now.
He Shen knew that Jia Yucun wouldn't be here for long. With Lin Ruhai as his guarantor, he would step into the officialdom again.
And Daiyu would be escorted by Jia Yucun to Rongguo Province.
He Lin naturally didn't have to be his student anymore.
Jia Yucun was just He Lin's enlightenment. When he entered an official school in the future, he would be the most important.
He Lin couldn't stay in Yangzhou any longer after telling them about returning to the capital. He kept urging them to leave.
After all, no matter how good Yangzhou was, it wasn't his home.
Lin Ruhai and the others knew nothing about this.
Lin Ruhai invited a few doctors to the house and asked them to secretly look at the prescription. After confirming that there was no harm, he ordered them to follow the prescription to get the herbs, decoct the herbs, and make the pills.
Strangely, after the pills were made, they were slightly sweet. Daiyu didn't know that it was medicine. He smiled and swallowed it as if he was swallowing a candy ball.
Lin Ruhai didn't know if it was because he was biased. After a few days, he felt that his daughter's pale face was a little red. Her complexion was much better.
The atmosphere in the Lin residence finally relaxed a little.
At this time, because of Daiyu, Lin Ruhai called He Shen as if they were peers.
August.
He Shen took He Lin with him to return to the capital.
Before leaving, he went to see Sister Lin one last time.
Daiyu just came out from Jia Min's place. Behind her were two little maids. They were short and their faces were round and childish.
He Shen glanced at them. He thought that one of them should be Xue Yan.
"Brother, are you leaving?"
Daiyu vaguely heard the servants mention this. When she tilted her head to look at He Shen, her eyes showed some reluctance.
Daiyu didn't have many playmates. Since He Shen and He Lin entered the Lin residence, she felt that her days were much more interesting.
Seeing that they were leaving, she felt a little sad.
"Yes." He Shen looked around.
Lin Ruhai wasn't there. There were only two or three manservants standing outside the courtyard. The older maidservants were still doing what they were doing, but the two younger maidservants were raising their heads and looking at him with admiration.
He Shen couldn't help but touch Daiyu's head. His fingers even rubbed the bun on her head.
It was soft.
"Where are you going?" Daiyu asked again.
"Back to the capital."
"When I'm older, can I go there to visit you?"
"Of course." He Shen couldn't help but laugh.
After a period of recuperation, Daiyu's cheeks were pink. He Shen looked at her appearance. He really wanted to raise such a delicate girl by himself.
No wonder he liked Sister Lin when he was watching A Dream of the Red Chamber.
He probably had a feeling that Sister Lin would be very likable when she was young.
"Then, then wait for me to grow up." Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly to hide the reluctance and sadness in her eyes.
He Shen couldn't bear to see her like this.
The scabby-headed monk in the book said: "If you want to be healthy, you must never hear the sound of crying."
It was obvious that letting her live happily without sadness was the only way to make her healthy.
He Shen asked, "Do you want to grow up faster?"
Daiyu raised her head to look at him. She was slightly puzzled. Her eyes were still a little red.
It was obvious that she couldn't suppress her emotions just now.
"I left some meatballs for your father. Eat them every day.
Don't be greedy and don't be like this … Look, it's like this. The corners of your eyes and the ends of your eyebrows are drooping. This won't do. "
Daiyu was still young. She was stunned by He Shen's words.
She stared at He Shen's face. She even forgot about her sadness. She just asked blankly, "Then what should I do?"
He Shen pointed at the corner of her mouth with his slender finger. "Here should be curved. Smile more every day."
Daiyu was deceived. She didn't believe everything he said. She pursed her lips and said, "Can I grow up faster like this?
You're bluffing. "
"I'm not lying to you. Why don't you try?
Very soon, you can come to the capital to see me. "
The two young maidservants beside her believed him without a doubt and chirped, "Young Master is right."
"Young Master isn't lying, right?"
"Young Miss should smile more every day."
"Young Miss is the prettiest when she smiles …"
Daiyu widened her eyes. She was slightly embarrassed. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything else.
He Shen raised his head to look at the sun.
It was getting late.
"I'm leaving now. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask your father. Write a letter to the capital. I'll receive it."
Daiyu's eyes brightened. She nodded, "Yes!"
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the courtyard. Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun had arrived.
Lin Ruhai was also quite reluctant to see He Shen leave. After all, the atmosphere in the Lin residence had become more peaceful after his arrival. Once he left, who knew how gloomy the residence would become …
"If Zhi Zhai has time, come to Yangzhou for sightseeing," Lin Ruhai said in a low voice.
He Shen nodded.
Jia Yucun also had a bitter expression on his face, "Brother Zhizhai is really going to take He Lin away?" He thought that He Shen was angry that he was being treated as a guest by someone else.
When Jia Yucun was an official, he didn't know how to read the mood of his superiors. That was why he was mercilessly removed from his position.
After that, he became much more sensitive to the emotions and attitudes of others.
"Yes, He Lin should be going to an official's school."
Jia Yucun suddenly understood. The young man in front of him was a descendant of an official of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
His father was once a Vice Domain Chief of a region and had a high status.
He should be going to an official's school.
Jia Yucun's eyes flashed. He felt a little envious in his heart.
He was afraid that in the future, these two brothers would go straight to the top.
Even though he was reluctant, after a few words, Lin Ruhai still sent He Shen and Jia Yucun to the door.
Daiyu couldn't follow them to the door. He could only stand at the door of the small courtyard and look at their backs reluctantly as they walked further and further away.
After about half an hour, Lin Ruhai returned.
Daiyu looked up at his father and couldn't help but ask softly, "Father, can I go to the capital too?"
"What for?"
"To see that older brother."
Lin Ruhai smiled, "What older brother?
Although he's only a few years older than you, he's the benefactor who saved you and your mother.
You should call him uncle … "
After saying that, Lin Ruhai felt a little strange. He pursed his lips and didn't mention it again.
But in the future, Daiyu would still call him "older brother" in his heart.
He was so young. If he wasn't an older brother, then what was he?
After returning to the capital.
He Shen coincidentally received a letter from Xuan Tong Daozhang, saying that he was also coming to the capital.
He Shen thought it was funny. Could it be that the Taoist temple couldn't accommodate him?
But then, He Shen felt that an opportunity had come.
There were more nobles in the capital. Although it wasn't as easy to manage as in Fujian, if he spent a few years, the results would be great.
Earning money from the nobles in Fujian wasn't a big deal. If he could earn money from the capital, then he would be considered capable.
When He Shen was about to reply to the letter, Xuan Tong Daozhang had already arrived in the capital.
It turned out that the letter had arrived in He Shen's hands more than a month later.
Xuan Tong Daozhang entered He Shen's residence. The first thing he did was to put a chest full of money in front of He Shen.
Xuan Tong Daozhang exhaled and said, "Along the way, I was most afraid of encountering robbers … It really wasn't easy to bring them here."
A thought flashed through He Shen's mind, but he thought of another matter.
How about building a bank in the Qing Dynasty?
