A servant of the Lin family came to pick him up, led by Lin Sheng, the son of Butler Lin.
"Master, the house has been tidied up."
Lin Ruhai said: "I need to go to the palace first. You send someone to escort the young lady back to the house first."
Wang Tingxuan's silver has also been shipped and needs to be handed over to the household department.
"Master Lin, I will send a few people to escort Miss Lin."
The Lin family is relatively low-key in the capital, with not many servants, and the people from Yangzhou don't play much of a role. The Lin family also has a lot of property left, and there are also female papers. If there is no one to escort them, there is no guarantee that
Accidents will occur.
Of course, Lin Ruhai also understands this problem. Now the Lin family's reputation may not be easy to use in the capital.
"Okay, please send someone to take them to Tonghua Alley."
"Tonghua Alley?"
Lin Ruhai asked: "My dear nephew, is there anything wrong?"
Wang Tingxuan thought for a while and realized that the only unused house in Tonghua Hutong was the one near his home.
"Is it the three-entry courtyard?"
Lin Ruhai said: "How does my nephew know?"
"To be honest, Uncle Lin, my nephew's yard is near your home."
Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "Is it the two-entry courtyard?"
"Yes, it was given to my nephew by Eunuch Dai Quan Dai. Is there anything wrong with that house?"
Lin Ruhai said: "Let's go to the palace to see the emperor. We can talk about the affairs of the house later."
Although Wang Tingxuan was curious about the problem of the house, he did not dare to delay his errands and rushed towards the capital with his people.
After Wang Tingxuan and Lin Ruhai reported, the emperor simply said something to Lin Ruhai and asked him to go see the Emperor.
After Lin Ruhai left, the emperor said: "You did a good job this time. Go down and rest first."
Wang Tingxuan said: "Your Majesty, I will retire."
After leaving the palace, I met Prince Zhongshun waiting outside.
"Tingxuan, your recipe is really good, do you have any other recipes?"
Wang Tingxuan thought to himself, you're welcome. Although we have the prescription, we can't just give it out casually.
"Your Majesty, how can such a recipe be said to exist?"
King Zhongshun laughed and said: "That's right. I just hope that if you have any good ideas, you will never forget me."
"You were not in the capital, but you missed a big show. The emperor suddenly ennobled several concubines, including Jia Yuanchun of Rongguo Mansion. I heard that the Jia family had been setting up the flowing water banquet for many days. I don't know that after the flowing water banquet was arranged, Jia Yuanchun
What does the family eat?"
Only then did Wang Tingxuan know the news about Jia Yuanchun's concubine. He thought that if the concubine's conferment came as scheduled, the incident in the Grand View Garden would be inevitable.
In the original work, the Jia family relied on Lin Ruhai's family property to be able to build the Grand View Garden. Now that the Lin family's property is gone, how can the Jia family build the Grand View Garden?
Wang Tingxuan wanted to ask King Zhongshun whether the emperor would order the concubine to visit the palace. These were not questions he should ask.
"Your Majesty, the Jia family used to raise a daughter for Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin sent a large amount of property to the Jia family every year."
Prince Zhongshun was also a smart man, and he immediately understood the meaning of Wang Tingxuan's words. Didn't it mean that the Jia family was supported by Lin Ruhai?
But Lin Ruhai must have returned to Beijing. I heard that the Jia family did not send anyone to greet Lin Ruhai, not even a servant.
Did they fall out over money?
King Zhongshun asked: "I heard that the Jia family did not send anyone to pick up Lin Ruhai."
"Except for a few servants of the Lin family, no one from the Jia family was seen."
"Do you know the reason?"
"I'm afraid I don't know. I heard from Mr. Lin that I didn't send a letter to Rongguo Mansion."
King Zhongshun felt that he had discovered something novel, and said: "Lin Ruhai didn't send a message to the Jia family, so the Jia family didn't know about it? No matter how big the conflict between the two families was, they never turned against each other. Even if the Jia family sent a subordinate
People can make sense. Forget it, I will send someone to investigate."
As Prince Zhongshun said, whether the Lin Jia family has severed ties or not, the Jia family cannot ignore Lin Ruhai's return to Beijing.
Wang Tingxuan has never been in contact with the Jia family and does not know what they think.
A little eunuch found the big eunuch beside the Supreme Emperor and said, "Eunuch, Lin Ruhai has fainted on her knees."
The chief eunuch asked: "How long did it take? How could Lin Ruhai faint? Was he pretending to be faint?"
"The slaves have seen it, and Lin Ruhai has indeed fainted. Father-in-law, if something happens to Master Lin, the young ones can't afford it."
The eldest eunuch said in his heart, I can't afford it either, but the emperor didn't even see Lin Ruhai's face and just asked him to kneel outside. Who dared to intercede for him?
"Take me there to have a look."
When the elder eunuch saw Lin Ruhai, his heart skipped a beat. His knowledge was not comparable to that of the younger eunuchs. Lin Ruhai seemed to be suffering from a poisonous attack. If he was not treated in time, he would be in trouble.
The eldest eunuch did not dare to delay and came to the side of the Supreme Emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, Lin Ruhai fainted. This slave feels like he was having a poisonous attack."
The Supreme Emperor was dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai and felt that he was not loyal to him. This time he just wanted to teach him a lesson and did not mean to kill him.
"Hurry and go to Dr. Xuan."
The Supreme Emperor announced that the imperial doctors must be the best in medical skills. I was afraid that something might happen to the Supreme Emperor.
Once they knew it was not the Emperor who was in trouble, the doctors felt relieved.
But after diagnosing Lin Ruhai, I felt relieved again.
"How is Lin Ruhai's condition? Tell the truth."
The imperial doctors looked at each other and passed the question to Li Yuanzheng.
Li Yuanzheng has no choice. His medical skills are the best, and he is good at detoxification.
"Back to the Emperor, Lin Ruhai, Master Lin is indeed poisoned. If Master Lin hadn't had a strong foundation, I might not be able to survive now."
The Supreme Emperor recalled the news that Lin Ruhai had died of illness some time ago, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
"Hurry up and detoxify him."
Li Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth. On the one hand, there were many imperial doctors who could diagnose Lin Ruhai's condition, and on the other hand, Lin Ruhai was only a minister after all. Even if the treatment was not good, they would at most be punished.
"Master Lin has a chronic poison passed down from the previous court, and Master Lin has been poisoned for too long. I am only 60% sure."
The secret medicine of the previous dynasty, these four words weighed heavily on the heart of the Supreme Emperor.
Most of the so-called secret medicines of the previous dynasty were only available in the palace of the previous dynasty. Nowadays, there are not many of them left, and only some old aristocratic families keep some.
Lin Ruhai was far away in the south of the Yangtze River. How did he get the poison? Who could have poisoned Lin Ruhai?
Lin Ruhai is a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. Who has the courage to poison Lin Ruhai?
The Supreme Emperor kept thinking in his mind that there were not many people with this ability, just a few families, among which the Jinling Zhen family was the most suspected.
With his wet nurse's family on one side and his confidants on the other, the Emperor was indeed heartbroken. After all, the Emperor was too old and didn't want to make things worse.
"Li Yuanzheng, I order you to do your best to treat Lin Ruhai. If you need any medicinal materials, you can get them directly from the real inner treasury."
Li Yuanzheng's heart trembled, and he made a mistake. He did not expect that Lin Ruhai was so important in the heart of the Supreme Emperor. At the same time, he was also very fortunate that Lin Ruhai had a good foundation. Although it was troublesome to treat him, it was not a problem.
