"Father, lets go to Kyoto to seek medical treatment. Maybe the imperial doctor can help?" Lin Yuhang thought for a long time and felt that this was the only way out at present.
Lin Jiang couldnt help but cough for a while, leaning on the headboard and looking at his daughter with a warm smile: "Child, this is fate, fate is like this, its really not necessary to worry about it anymore."
Lin Yuhuans tears almost fell as she grasped her fathers hand, saying: "Lets try it out, Father, maybe itll be useful... Kyoto has so many good doctors..."
Lin Jiang just wanted to spend the rest of his days accompanying his daughter and didnt want to go to Kyoto, where he would have to work hard.
Furrowing his brow in refusal.
Lin Yuhong could no longer hold back his tears and knelt beside the bed, crying: "How can Father refuse to see a doctor?"
The room was filled with sobbing, and the maids waiting outside all tensed up. Just as Yingyan turned to go find Lin Qingwan, she saw her coming in from outside.
Yingyan hastily stepped forward and saluted, "Young mistress, elder sister is crying now, youd better go and comfort her."
Lin Qingwan was curious, "How did you start crying?"
Lin Yuhu had been suppressing his sorrow since he knew that Lin Jiangs life was not long. Except for occasionally bursting into tears, most of the time he was smiling and reading books, reciting poems, playing the piano and chess with Lin Jiang, being very considerate.
"Big sister wants Grandfather to go to Kyoto for medical treatment, but Grandfather is unwilling, and Big Sister cant help feeling worried......" Yingyan quickly briefed Lin Qingwan before she entered the door. Now only Big Sister can persuade Father and Daughter.
Lin Qingwan nodded slightly and said: "Go to the kitchen and bring some cheese, when people are heartbroken, eating something sweet will make them feel better."
Lin Yuhbin in the room wiped away her tears after hearing the commotion outside, stood up and waited for Xiaojie to come in before performing a sloppy bow.
Lin Qingwan patted her head and smiled: "Yubin is right, we have to try until the end, what heavenly fate or not, we dont believe in that."
Lin Yuhus eyes lit up as he looked at Xiaojie, while Lin Jiang was startled and looked at Lin Qingyuan in confusion, knowing that she knew he had to leave.
"But going to Kyoto is unrealistic, your father is already ill, and the journey to the capital is long and bumpy, which would only worsen his condition," Lin Qingwen thought for a moment and said: "We can invite the doctor to come here, although its slower, but more stable."
Lin Yuhu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. However, she furrowed her brow and said, "Im afraid the doctors wont be willing to come."
"While serving as the imperial physician, we can appeal to the emperor. Among the famous doctors in the folk, there are always ways to move them." Lin Qingyan said: "Ill go and choose a few clever and steady servants soon, let them take heavy gifts to the capital."
Lin Yuhus face lit up and he sniffled his nose, saying: "Little sister, Ill help you pick out a gift."
"Alright," Lin Qingyan said, lowering her eyes and thinking for a moment: "Ive already had the things in several large warehouses packed up, and well set off to send them back to Suzhou in two days. If its not convenient to select things from there, lets choose from our private small warehouse instead, and pick out the good stuff, then have them bring the suitable ones."
"Ill go pick some now." Lin Yubin, full of enthusiasm, took a string of keys to open the small warehouse.
Her father and her younger sister each have their own small storage rooms, inside which are not only things they love but also some particularly precious items and medicinal herbs. Sending them to the doctor is just a matter of getting peoples hearts.
So Lin Yuhbin opened all three small warehouses and left some precious medicines that his father might use, and took out the rest.
Lin Jiang waited until his daughter was far away before turning to Lin Qingwan and saying, "You knew it was a waste of effort, so why did you still let Yu Bin go through the trouble?"
"I know its futile, but Yubin doesnt. Lin Qingyan thought of her grandfather lying in the hospital, and her eyes became slightly sour. Besides, even if she knew it was futile, youre the most important person to her. When facing life and death, people always have some unrealistic hopes. They think that maybe a miracle will happen."
Lin Jiang was taken aback.
"Just as you told me, my grandfathers life is not long, he cant survive the pain of prolonging his life, and I still hope that he can turn around, this little hope has never been extinguished until now."
Lin Qingwan should be the person who understands Lin Yuhuan the most. Its just that they might only be able to let go of their last bit of hope after their loved one is buried.
"Moreover, this is also an important part of her education." Lin Qingwen lowered her head to meet Lin Jiangs gaze and said: "What heavenly fate, you really think that even if you want to accept your fate, you wont be able to find me thousands of miles away. Since you yourself dont accept fate, why do you want to teach her to accept fate? Do you really hope she will follow the heavenly fate?"
Tongue-tied.
"Lead by example, since you want to teach her to be unyielding, unyielding to heaven and fate, then you yourself must set a good example. Dont worry about whether its useful or not, we all need to try our best." Lin Qingyan said softly: "At least this way, we wont regret it after were gone."
Lin Jiang acquiesced to Lin Qingwans educational approach and began actively cooperating with the treatment, even though he knew it was useless. Whenever his daughter brought him medicine, he would drink it, and Dr. Xu would give him an injection every other day...
Lin Yuhbin saw his father so actively cooperating with the treatment, and he was more and more delighted, looking forward to the person who went to Beijing to invite a doctor to bring back good news.
Lu Zhen set out with 2,000 imperial guards and rushed all the way to Yangzhou just two days after the talented people left for Beijing.
As Jiangnan Observation Envoy, Lin Jiang received the news half a day in advance.
He got out of bed and had someone help him put on his official robes, "Wan Jie, Lu Zhen probably brought the imperial edict with him, you prepare to receive it at home, Ill go meet him."
Lin Qingwan twitched her mouth and directly picked up the official uniform, throwing it into Xing Zhens arms, saying: "Put it away."
Jingzhen just glanced at Lao Ye and ran out with his official uniform.
Lin Qingwan pressed down Lin Jiangdao: "Youre now a dying man, just stay at home and wait. Let Liu Pei and Sun Huai handle the reception."
These words were spoken very bluntly, and Lin Yubin, who was in a hurry, looked at his little sister in surprise, only to see that her face was slightly angry, and he immediately understood that his little sister was heartbroken because their father didnt take care of his own body.
Lin Yuhuans eyes reddened again, and she also stepped forward to hold down her father. "Dad, just rest at home, let Uncle Liu and Uncle Sun go pick up Lord Lu, arent all the yamen affairs handed over to them now?"
Lin Jiang sighed, "But Lu really came for our Lin family, we have to send someone anyway."
Lu is really an angel, they cant be too slow at home, sending a servant is clearly not possible, and they cant let Lin Qingwen go either?
Ran to the outskirts of the city to pick someone up, very tired. Later, I still have to accompany Lu Zhen and others to drink, a group of big men mixed with a delicate girl, what kind of situation is this?
And Lin Jiang is heartbroken too.
Lin Qingwan didnt wait for him to finish thinking and said: "Let Shang Mingyuan go."
"Who?" Lin Jiang stared.
Lin Qingwan turned around and instructed Gu Yu, "Go get Master Biao."
Lin Jiang and Lin Yuhbin both looked distrustful, "Him? Can he do it?"
Lin Qingwan nodded affirmatively: "Hes definitely capable."
Shang Mingyuan had gone out to have fun and was finally found by the servants of the Lin residence in the music hall.
Its no wonder that Lin Jiang and Lin Yubin are suspicious of Lin Qingyans decision, as Shang Mingyuan has given people a very unreliable feeling.
After confirming that his uncle wouldnt die for a while and the old lady didnt agree with him returning to Suzhou, he became somewhat unbridled.
Every day when he goes out, its either to drink and have fun with new friends or to look for someone to flirt with at the music house. If not for the strict curfew at Lins residence, he would probably return even later, in the dead of night.
He would have liked to stay out all night, but as soon as he thought of his uncle living in the Lins house, his already small courage became even smaller.
It was said that Lin Qingyan had found him, so Shang Mingyuan tidied up his clothes and ran back with a smile, only to see his uncles cold face as soon as he entered the door.
Shang Mingyuan couldnt help but shiver at the thought of it, and by the time he wanted to retreat, it was too late. He could only lower his head and go in to pay his respects.
He smelled the scent of perfume on him, and Lin Jiang couldnt help but frown. This nephew was ruined by his love of wealth and women, and now it seemed he was beyond salvation.
Lin Qingwan didnt care about these things, she only knew that Shang Mingyuan still had some skills in dealing with human relationships, so she directly said: "This afternoon, Lu Du will lead the Imperial Guard into the city, and Liu Daren and Sun Daren will take care of official business, but our Lin family also needs to send someone, after all, they are here for the Lin family."
"But your uncles body is weak and sickly, and Yu Bin and I are also inconvenient, so this matter still needs to be asked of you, can you, my nephew, have some free time to help?"
His heart tightened, he had never been in charge of such a big thing, and Lin Qingwans trusting gaze made him both excited and nervous. He stuttered: "I, Ill do it?"
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "Its just drinking with Lord Lu and his men, treating them to a meal, whats wrong with that?"
Lin Qing said in a soft voice, "Treat this place as your own home and treat them as guests who have come to visit. If the guest is kind, be polite; if the guest is rude, you dont have to tolerate it."
These words were said with great confidence, and Shang Mingyuans nervous heart was slightly relieved.
Lin Jiangs expression also eased, and he said: "Ill have Lin Guan Jia accompany you. He will give you some advice. You are my nephew, and I entrusted this task to you, just be bold and go."
Shang Mingyuan secretly glanced at Lin Qingyan, who had a faint smile on her face and lightly swept him with her eyes. He couldnt help but straighten his back and thought to himself: "Lin auntie, a girl younger than me can do it, why should I, a grown man, be afraid?"
Xiang Ming went to change his clothes with a proud and spirited gait.
Lin Qingwan beckoned to Gu Yu and asked: "Is that Manager Zhao at home?"
"Not here, he left early in the morning, should have gone to Zhaos other courtyard."
"Tell them that if he comes back, block his eyes and ears, dont let him know where Young Master Biao has gone."
Although this Manager Zhao followed Shang Mingyuan here, he was obviously not Shang Mingyuans man. The day after the auction, he ran to Zhao Sheng and had been reporting to the other courtyard of the Zhao family every day for several days.
Although he is not a member of the Lin family, Lin Qingwan still feels extremely resentful towards him, and is even more wary of the second mistress of the Shang family.
She didnt miss Lin Jiangs expression of disgust and annoyance when he mentioned Mrs. Shang Er and the Zhao family.
She couldnt control Zhao Guan, but after entering Lins house, she could manipulate him. What he could hear and see would all be decided by her.
