Chapter 442 Encountered Twice

"Master Xu, this book is for you."

Xu Zhao originally thought that Lin Chenyuan gave him a book as a gift, and he was quite happy.

After all, as a literati, there is nothing I love more than books, calligraphy and paintings, and the Four Treasures of the Study.

But when he saw the title of the book, he immediately asked with some hesitation: "A Dream of Red Mansions? Master Lin, this book is too precious, and I dare not accept it again. I appreciate your kindness."

"It's not something expensive, Mr. Xu doesn't need to refuse." Lin Chenyuan said lightly.

This book was written by his young daughter-in-law, and there are several copies in the family.

Before he went out, he told Bai Jinli that he wanted to give a book to a friend, and Bai Jinli also supported it.

Seriously speaking, this valuable book is really not a valuable thing to their family.

Bai Jinli told him that he could have as much as he wanted.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your kindness. It's really hard to accept it if you download it again. How about it? I just happen to be curious about this book recently. I'll borrow it to have a look, and I'll return it to you after I finish reading it."

Looking at the hardcover version of Dream of the Red Chamber, Xu Zhao's heart is still very complicated.

First of all, he has indeed heard of this book recently, and has also understood the general content, so he is quite curious about this book.

And he knew that this book was very popular in the market, especially this kind of hardcover book was hard to find, so he naturally wanted to read it.

but!

This book was something he just met and wanted to make friends with. Lin Chenyuan, who he thought was a good person, expressed that he would give it to him, which made Xu Zhao feel complicated.

As an official of the imperial court, I have seen too many things, so it is inevitable that I have more ideas.

In his perception, Lin Chenyuan is the kind of young man who looks low-key, capable, and good-natured, and will be a good official in the future, so he is willing to make friends with him.

Never thought that Lin Chenyuan would give him such an expensive gift as soon as he saw him, and with a flirtatious tone, could it be that he wanted to bribe him and build a relationship?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhao's heart suddenly turned cold, and he wondered if he had misjudged the person.

As a literati, he has the arrogance and persistence of a literati. In his life, he hates flattery and people who give gifts behind their backs to achieve their goals.

But based on his first impression of Lin Chenyuan, at this moment, he doubted whether his conjecture just now was true.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Zhao took the excuse of borrowing the book to read it first, thinking about returning it after reading it in a few days.

After all, he can't beat someone to death with a stick, he has to get in touch with Lin Chenyuan first, if this person is really not good enough, then alienate him.

"Well, yes." Lin Chenyuan glanced at Xu Zhao, almost understood what he was thinking, and nodded in response without explaining.

Because Xu Zhao felt a little pissed in his heart, the ensuing chat obviously carried some official alienation and politeness.

After chatting for a while, the two offered their farewells and left.

Seeing that the time was still early, Lin Chenyuan couldn't help asking: "Zhuifeng, do you have any news about the ingenious craftsman I asked you to inquire about before?"

"Back to the master, the little one has already found out, do you want to go find him now?"

"Ah."

"Master, this way please."

Bai Jinli has been preparing for the opening of the medical school recently. When they were chatting that day, he heard Bai Jinli talk about something.

At that time, Bai Jinli excitedly took out a piece of paper, showed him what it looked like, and explained her imagination.

He happened to have time today, so he planned to take what Bai Jinli had drawn to a craftsman and help her make it.

In addition, he also wanted to help Bai Jinli prepare a few better acupuncture needles, and prepare a medicine box that was easier to carry.

After finding the expert who was hiding among the people, Lin Chenyuan told that person his request, agreed on a time to pick up the items, gave a deposit, and walked out from there.

The craftsman's house is located beside the moat, it is a good and quiet place near the water, and people can't help but feel peaceful after seeing it.

Walking forward step by step along the riverside of the moat, Lin Chenyuan couldn't help thinking, maybe Bai Jinli would like this quiet and peaceful place.

Otherwise, he should also buy a house in this place, and if he is free in the future, he can also come and stay for a few days.

Thinking of this, Lin Chenyuan ordered Zhuifeng behind him to inquire about it.

He continued to walk along the moat alone, and suddenly saw an old man sitting by the river fishing not far in front of him, and fell straight into the river.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chenyuan quickly jumped into the river and rescued the old man.

The rescued old man seemed to be unwell, and was panting heavily at the moment, groping around his clothes with a trembling hand.

"Are you looking for medicine?"

"Well, He... There are medicines in the purse, help, help me."

Lin Chenyuan quickly untied the old man's purse, took out a medicine bottle from it, poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Thank... thank you." The old man thanked him after swallowing the medicine, and quickly closed his eyes and passed out.

"Wake up? Where is your home? Is there a family member nearby? Shall I take you back?" Lin Chenyuan patted him lightly a few times, but found that this person did not respond for the time being.

After taking a closer look, I realized that this old man looked familiar. It was the old man who had met briefly when passing by the narrow alley.

Lin Chenyuan took a look at his clothes. They were made of high-quality fabrics, but there was nothing on his body that could indicate his identity.

He doesn't know medical skills, and he doesn't know what the old man's current situation is.

If something happens to this person, I don't know what will happen.

Forget it, save people first.

During such a short period of time, Lin Chenyuan did not wait for the old man's family members or attendants.

Just when Zhuifeng came over, he ordered Zhuifeng to take the old man into the carriage and find a nearby medical clinic to help him see a doctor.

Soon, they found a doctor.

But after seeing a doctor, the doctor said that the old man's condition was serious and he could do nothing, so Lin Chenyuan and others chose another wise man.

Lin Chenyuan had no choice but to think of his daughter-in-law's superb medical skills, so he ordered Zhuifeng to arrange someone to wait for the old man's attendant at the same place.

They rushed home with the old man.

Bai Jinli, who was at home, watched as Zhuifeng behind Lin Chenyuan carried a comatose old man on his back.

After listening to Lin Chenyuan's simple words about what happened, he asked Lin Chenyuan to change clothes and wash up, and immediately asked Xiangming to fetch her medicine box.

After feeling the pulse and checking the old man's vital signs, Bai Jinli began to help him administer the needles.

The old man looked like he had an old heart problem. Fortunately, he took the medicine in time, and he was just in a coma at the moment, not too serious.

But speaking carefully, his symptoms are not very good.

After the injection, Bai Jinli ordered someone to help him change his clothes.Not long after, the old man woke up.

Facing the old man's puzzled eyes, Lin Chenyuan simply told him what happened.

Soon, the old man figured out what was going on, and couldn't help but thank Lin Chenyuan and Bai Jinli.

"Young master, I met you twice today. It's really a destiny. I don't know how to call you?"

"The surname is Lin, and the name is Shen Yuan. The person who gave you the acupuncture just now is my wife."

"The old man's surname is Zhao. Young master Lin and Mrs. Zun will repay their life-saving grace in the future."

"You're welcome."

"Mr. Zhao, your health is not very good. You should pay more attention on weekdays. What is the medicine you took before?"

Bai Jinli took this opportunity to chat with the old man surnamed Zhao about his condition for a while.

After the chat, she almost understood a little bit, and spoke again.

"In this way, I will prescribe you a medicine first, and after you drink it for a while, I will ask my husband-in-law to take you back. Remember what I just said in the future, don't be willful."

"understood."

Seeing that the young woman in front of him taught him a serious lesson, Mr. Zhao was not angry, but complied cheerfully.

It would be nice if her granddaughter was so well-behaved, sensible and caring.

It took time to boil the medicine. During this period, Bai Jinli learned that Mr. Zhao hadn't eaten yet, so he ordered someone to make some millet porridge and pickles for him.

Mr. Zhao's home is not an ordinary one, but what makes him feel strange is that he, a person who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, now eats the millet porridge and pickles in his home, and he feels that it has a special flavor.

Even, I drank an extra bowl of porridge than usual.

After eating and drinking medicine, Mr. Zhao felt much better.

After bidding farewell to Lin Chenyuan and Bai Jinli, he thanked the two of them and got in the carriage arranged by them to go home.

Zhao Mansion!

After discussing with the Qin family, Zhao Yanhong finally decided to tell the two old people at home what they just learned.

This younger sister of the Zhao family has completely broken with the Zhao family, but whenever she encounters something, she will still come back and cry and complain that the two old people in the family are soft-hearted, and they have been hurt by her all the time.

If he told the two of them about this matter, they might be angry, but only in this way can they really give up on Zhao Shi and stop worrying about Zhao Shi from now on.

In order to cut off the way out, Zhao Yanhong went to his elder brother's Zhao residence to find the two old people.

Speaking of which, the two brothers of the Zhao family were appointed officials by the imperial court, so naturally they lived in separate houses.

It's just that the distance between the two is very close, but it's only a cup of tea.

It was only after Zhao Yanhong went to his elder brother's Zhao residence that he realized that his mother was still in the residence, but his father had gone out and hadn't returned yet.

Looking at the sky, Zhao Yanhong couldn't help asking the servants in the mansion.

"When did the master go out? Why hasn't he come back yet? Who is the boy who went out with him? Have you arranged for someone to go out and look for it?"

"Back to the second master, the master left the door at about three o'clock. The uncle came back from court and found out that the master had not returned yet. He had already sent someone out to look for it. The other villains didn't know."

"Well, I see, I'll go find my elder brother first."

"Second master, the uncle should be in the old lady's yard at this moment."

"En." Zhao Yanhong nodded, and walked towards the yard where his mother was.
