Chapter 43 (4) "Medicine urges spirit rabbits to pound"

The Grand View Garden has changed a long time ago.When Baoyu was in the garden, he had lamented that Baochai moved out and married in the spring... It was very different from the past; now Baoyu has also moved out of the garden, Tanchun has gone far away, Xiangyun's family has also suffered troubles, and he is ordered to go home.The nunnery is also closed.Only Li Wan, Xichun and Daiyu are still alive.These three places seldom come and go when the garden was in its prime, let alone now?Daiyu is alone in the courtyard, her eyes are full of desolation, and she is full of grief.When Wen Baoyu was imprisoned, without the care of her grandmother and old lady, one or two relatives in her heart were gone, she was already in pain, but Zijuan knew her intentions and took very strict precautions, fearing that something would happen.

Afterwards, what Daiyu heard in her ears was all about Baoyu's crimes, how vile and indecent, and other shocking words.In the meantime, there is one more thing, which is that Baoyu and her have been close since childhood, and there has been an affair between men and women. When the old lady was around, no one dared to reveal it clearly. Now it is time for everyone to say the truth.... In Aunt Zhao's house, a girl was secretly dispatched to spread these rumors everywhere every day, and sometimes went to the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion to provoke and scold others. Afraid of Daiyu's hearing, Zijuan couldn't bear the slander of obscene words, so she concealed and defended in every possible way, and comforted her with words.But both of them knew in their hearts: words are false, and the ruthlessness of the situation is true.The two often cry at each other.

Zijuan saw that Daiyu's body was getting worse and worse, and her usual old illnesses were getting worse.I had to ask Mrs. Wang for instructions. Mrs. Wang sent someone to the dispensing store to ask Jia Chang and Jia Ling for the pills that Daiyu usually takes for symptoms. The medicine was found, but it was really strange: usually this kind of pill is Baoyu's secret recipe in the palace that Baoyu got from the North Mansion, and it was specially prepared for Miss Lin, but after taking it, although it can't cure the disease, it always relieves it to some extent,—— During the day, the hot flashes and spontaneous sweating were less, and the cough was lighter, and I gradually fell asleep for a while after the fourth watch at night.But this time, after taking the newly obtained medicine, the condition not only did not decrease, but suddenly became severe.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zijuan was anxious, afraid and surprised. She felt that she might have a reason, so she went back and forth to report to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang came to Ping'er and ordered someone to ask Chang and Ling. Jia Ling and the other two replied, "On that day, Brother Chang was on duty alone. It happened that Uncle Huan Sanye came to look for medicine. Unexpectedly, the medicine was in short supply. Brother Chang said, this is a medicine for daily use. There is also a small pharmacy, please sit down, I will find it. When Brother Chang came back, I saw someone taking the medicine away, so I asked who to get the medicine for? I told Miss Lin, who cured the night cough, just now Huan Sanye It has been found out for me according to the name of the medicine. At that time, I hurriedly searched for the medicine and came back from the street, but I didn’t check carefully to see if the medicine was taken correctly.”

Jia Ling gave Miss Lin the pills that Miss Lin used to use in the past and gave Miss Ping to let Zijuan testify.Sure enough, the medicine was wrong last time!Zijuan didn't dare to let Daiyu know about it, but she was so anxious that she begged Ping'er to ask the doctor to come and see her.When the doctor saw the last medicine, he was shocked and said: This is a severe medicine for suffering and severe cold. Miss is weak, how can I use this!I'm afraid it's not good....After hearing this, Ping'er and Zijuan knew that it was difficult to save, so they hurriedly and secretly prepared to take care of the serious illness.

Zijuan went back to her room and saw that Daiyu was in more pain, so she couldn't help crying: "Girl, you are suffering too much. No one can afford it! This is what we often say: life is thin and heart is bitter." Daiyu said : "You don't have to be sad, feel sorry for me. You know my heart. My life is here. I don't blame the sky, the earth, or anyone. I only worry about how much trouble I get into prison! Even if I suffer ten thousand for him Suffering is also without complaint!"
