I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 35: Clever Daiyu averts crisis

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, we were on a boat from Yangzhou to the capital.

It is said that Jia Lian heard that he would board a boat back to Beijing on the 5th, so he rushed thousands of miles home a few days earlier to tell his family the good news that Lin Ruhai had recovered from his illness.

When leaving, Lin Daiyu held her father's hand, tears streaming down her face. Lin Ruhai could only touch her and comfort her, saying, "Don't cry, my child. When you get there, you will have your grandmother and sisters to accompany you as you grow up, and Sister Chaoxia will take care of your health. I can rest assured and focus on government affairs."

Lin Daiyu choked up and said, "Although my grandmother and all the relatives are very kind to me, I still miss my father. I want to stay with you. I feel comfortable in my own home."

Lin Ruhai leaned down, looked at Daiyu and said, "You are a weak girl in the boudoir. There are many boudoir etiquette and rules to learn. It is more appropriate for you to be brought up by your grandmother. When the time is right, your father will take you back to reunite with you. Go with peace of mind." Lin Daiyu reluctantly said goodbye to her father and boarded the boat with everyone.

On the morning of the sixth day, An Wuxia, Xueyan and Nanny Wang accompanied Daiyu, who had just finished washing up. Lin Daiyu leaned against the window of the dock, looking at the environment on the shore. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian was standing at the stern of the boat outside the cabin, also looking into the distance.

An Wuxia was sitting on a small wooden stool at the end of the cabin, using a stove to boil medicine for Lin Daiyu. By chance, Jia Lian saw her and squatted down to look at her carefully.

When An Wuxia found that Master Lian was staring at her, she lowered her head shyly, just staring at the medicine stove and the fire, ignoring him. Jia Lian said maliciously: "What?! In just a few days, you have transformed into a dark and vulgar girl?!"

An Wuxia stood up gently, bowed respectfully to Jia Lian, and said sincerely: "Second Master Lian, I am just a humble servant, how can I be transformed?"

Jia Lian walked around An Wuxia, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I see you are not like an ordinary servant, you have extraordinary powers, such as flying over eaves and walls, healing people, you are an extremely mysterious person!"

An Wuxia said calmly, "Mr. Lian has a misunderstanding of me. It seems I have no way to defend myself. But since I am a maid in the Lin Mansion, the master and his wife must know me very well, otherwise they would not let me serve my daughter in person."

Jia Lian squinted his eyes, with a smile on his lips. He pinched her chin with his hand and said, "Don't use the Lin family to pressure me. I tell you, if you don't behave yourself in the Jia Mansion, I will drive you away anyway."

An Wuxia coldly took away Jia Lian's hand, and turned into a fierce woman in an instant, still smiling and saying: "Second Master Lian, what evidence do you have to say that I am not honest and dutiful in the Jia Mansion?! You just saw me jumping down from the roof, all dressed in white, and frightened you! You are a grown man, why should you be afraid of a woman like me!"

Jia Lian pondered for a moment and said, "No! It's definitely not that simple! She was wearing a snow-white dress, flying down from the sky, cold and unworldly yet intimidating. It's impossible that she was just going to pay tribute to her relatives."

An Wuxia also sneered and said, "Master Lian, you really think too much! I just went out in the middle of the night to sit alone with my relatives for a while!"

Jia Lian said tentatively: "You are a master of both medical and martial arts. Are you a gangster? Or a fugitive?!"

An Wuxia burst out laughing and said, "Second Master Lian is really a smart man. If I had such great abilities, I would have become a free and easy female knight long ago."

Jia Lian said coldly: "The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes. The more you try to cover it up, the more obvious it becomes!"

An Wuxia picked up a piece of cloth and held it in her hand, picked up the medicine jar and went back to the cabin, unwilling to pay any more attention to Jia Lian. Jia Lian still insisted: "Be careful next time, if you have any inappropriate thoughts, I will punish you!"

Lin Daiyu happened to gently push aside the curtain of the dock and slowly walked over. An Wuxia hurriedly said, "Miss, it's windy and cold outside, go back quickly."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's okay. With you by my side making medicine for me, I'm fine now, right?!"

Jia Lian also smiled and said, "It seems that Sister Lin understands the medical skills of Miss Zhaoxia?!"

Lin Daiyu came over, took An Wuxia's hand and said, "Sister's father was a doctor. He traveled all year round and made a living by selling medicinal herbs and treating illnesses. Unfortunately, the old doctor passed away a few years ago. Mother saw that Sister Zhaoxia had learned her father's outstanding medical skills, and I was born weak, so a friend introduced me to be my personal doctor."

Jia Lian smiled brightly and said, "So that's how it is. This Miss Zhaoxia is not only an excellent doctor, but also a martial artist. She can fly over rooftops and walk on walls."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "People who study medicine all know some physical exercises, such as breathing in and breathing out. Sister Zhaoxia also taught me this, so it's not surprising."

Jia Lian smiled and said hurriedly, "The wind is getting stronger and stronger. You guys go in quickly. I'll stay for a while."
