Chapter 12 Diagnosis
It's only been a dozen days.
Hearing this, Shen Fengxu put the brush in his hand on the pen rest, and said: "It's really good, I gave you twenty days, but you only finished embroidering in such a short time, it seems that you are really shirking that day." ”
"The maid didn't dare, but the girl commanded, and she should do her best. Cailian took out the purse, respectfully placed it on the cinnabar, and then lowered her head, looking very humble.
Shen Fengxu only glanced at the purse casually, the embroidery on the purse was uneven, and even the material was somewhat different, it must not be from the hand of one person, I am afraid that it was not just the lotus picking, and the rest of the people in the courtyard also helped to pick the lotus embroidery.
After all, Cailian and Caihe are both the eldest girls in the snowmelt courtyard, and they were personally selected by the eldest lady, and their status in the snowmelt courtyard is second only to Dansha and Chensha. In addition, cinnabar has always been taciturn and cherishes words like gold, in the eyes of others, it is not as decent as picking lotus.
Shen Fengxu smiled lightly and asked, "You embroidered the purse alone?"
Cailian's head lowered: "The maid doesn't dare to lie, the purse is not embroidered by the maid alone, it is really ...... The maid is clumsy, far less ingenious than the others, and is afraid of disappointing the girl's heart, and hopes that the girl will not blame others. ”
Cai Lian has always been well-behaved, articulate and eloquent, in her previous life, Shen Fengxu valued her a little, but now it seems that she has a lively mind, and she is the person sent by the eldest lady, who has been going back and forth on both sides, swaying, and is by no means a usable person.
Not to mention......
There are many things that arise because of lotus picking.
However, Shen Fengxu will not deal with Cailian, nor will he send her away, but will keep her by his side, keep her to report to the eldest lady, it is best to report everything one by one.
If you deal with lotus picking, outsiders will gossip to some extent, and it will also make the eldest lady vigilant, and even if it is not a lotus picking, there will be others on the side, so it is better to keep it and wait for the eldest lady to throw herself into the net.
So Shen Fengxu was a little sad on his face, and said: "I thought that if you did your best, you should also be rewarded with something, but you are so lazy, it makes me a little embarrassed." ”
Cailian's face changed slightly, and she knelt down busily: "It's the maid's fault, and I ask the girl to forgive her sins, and the maid is also dedicated to the girl, not lazy." ”
"I don't mean to blame you, so how can I forgive you. Shen Fengxu just smiled gently, "I don't want to punish you, but you still have to re-embroider this purse, I think you have exquisite embroidery and skillful skills, and it really doesn't take so long, so I will allow you to embroider twenty purses for fifteen days." ”
It's like a bolt from the blue.
Cai Lian's face turned pale for a moment: "Girl......"
Twenty days is enough to be difficult, let alone fifteen.
Shen Fengxu has always been quiet and gentle, pleasant to people and faces, lenient and controlled, never punishes others at will, even if there is really any fault, Shen Fengxu will gently expose it, and will not be too harsh.
But what happened during this time?
"What? Do you think fifteen days is too long?"
Although the smile on Shen Fengxu's face was gentle, the words he said made Cailian's heart chill.
In a flash of thought, Cai Lian lowered her head and responded: "The servant takes the order." ”
Although she responded so respectfully and obediently, she was very resentful in her heart. In the past, although she listened to the words of the eldest lady, after all, she was in the Snow Melting Courtyard, and her honor and disgrace were closely related to Shen Fengxu, and Cailian never really did anything to harm Shen Fengxu.
She always weighs the pros and cons between the eldest lady and Shen Fengxu.
Even if she is a servant, she is more decent than others.
Today's incident made her make up her mind.
Since Shen Fengxu was unkind to her, what could she do if she was unjust? What's more, Shen Fengxu was just an unfavored girl in the mansion, while the eldest lady was Dongningbo's rightful wife. It is wiser to take refuge in the eldest lady than to cling to Shen Fengxu.
"Alright, you go down. ”
"Yes. ”
Seeing Cailian leaving, Chensha couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but Shen Fengxu had already put pen to paper, looking serious, so Chensha lowered his head and was silent, as usual.
............
......
A few days later, the weather was clear and the wind was smooth.
After Shen Fengxu sent Shen Baitang to the Hanging Flower Gate, he went to Yunsong Courtyard to ask for peace.
Before he walked into the Yunsong Courtyard, he met the second lady.
So Shen Fengxu's pace slowed down a little and saluted slightly: "Fengxu greets the second lady." ”
As the wife of Shen Yanping in the second room, the second lady has always regarded herself very highly, disdainful of others in the house, and especially disgusted with the aunts and concubines, and although Shen Fengxu is a concubine, she has no biological mother by her side, and in the eyes of the second lady, it is also not worth mentioning.
So the second lady only glanced at her, answered casually, and walked towards the Yunsong courtyard without looking back.
Despite this, Shen Fengxu always had a generous and decent smile on his face, and there was no displeasure, and when he saw the second lady leaving, he got up and followed, and went to Yunsong Courtyard together.
And when they came into the house, the rest of the people came, more or less.
Shen Fengxu sat quietly on the side after asking for peace.
At this time, there was still a doctor asking for the old lady's pulse.
Although the old lady is in good health, but in the end she is old, she will be a little unwell from time to time, so a doctor comes to Yunsong Courtyard every day, and today is about the old lady who gets up late, so it has been delayed until now.
The eldest lady opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Dr. Li's medical skills are excellent, and I am much more relieved to have Dr. Li ask for the old lady's pulse." ”
"After all, Dr. Li specially invited the house to take care of the old lady, how can there be a reason for bad medical skills, the old lady's health is the most important. The second lady also nodded in agreement.
Doctor Li withdrew his hand and hurriedly said, "Madame has lifted it." ”
After the pulse was finished, he lifted the medicine box and was about to go out.
At this moment, Shen Yuxiang on the side suddenly leaned over, and let out a low moan, as if she was a little unstable on her feet, and she stumbled, almost falling to the ground, and Shen Yujia, who was beside Shen Yuxiang, hurriedly reached out to help her.
"What's wrong with the fourth sister?" Shen Yujia helped Shen Yuxiang and asked with some concern.
The eldest lady couldn't help but stand up.
The old lady frowned slightly, and said, "Doctor Li stays and let's see what's wrong with her first." ”
Doctor Li had already stepped out of the courtyard with half a foot, and then returned when he heard the sound, and after putting down the medicine box, the maid Caizhi put the handkerchief on Shen Yuxiang's wrist, and Dr. Li reached out to take it and quietly checked the pulse.
After waiting for a while, he withdrew his hand and asked, "Does the girl have anything to take recently?"
Shen Fengxu sat in place, looking at Shen Yuxiang slightly, from beginning to end, he didn't say a word, but the corners of his lips were unconsciously curled, which was quite a bit of watching a play.
Since the jade pendant was broken, the old lady has been much lighter to Shen Yuxiang, although she has not mentioned the old thing again, but she will not be too spoiled, Shen Yuxiang naturally does not dare to be as pampered and presumptuous as before.
She was very angry with Shen Fengxu.
