102. One hundred and two
All the way back to the Shi family, in fact, Ru Ji was a little anxious in her heart. The delay in the Yan family was much longer than originally planned, although Su Sanniang was not unattended at home, but thinking that her illness this time was somewhat sudden, in the end it made Ru Xi a little uneasy.
The Yan family's eldest grandson's washing banquet is actually not a big deal for outsiders, it doesn't matter whether Su San Niangzi can come or not, and it has nothing to do with the Shi family, if someone calculates Su San Niangzi for this trip, it is too exaggerated.
Is there any other possibility? When Shi Zhonglang took revenge on Chen Hao's mother and son before, he also asked someone to go to Chen's house to knock on the door and spill insults in the small courtyard of Baifu Lane.
It's a pity that Ru Ji was a businessman who was dedicated to business before he crossed, and he almost didn't know anything about medical care and the like, and he scratched his head on the carriage and thought about it for a long time without any results, and there was no search engine or the like to consult online, so he could only think about going home first and then asking Lang Zhong to take a good look.
When Ruxi got home, she didn't care about changing her clothes and went to the main house first, Su Sanniang's symptoms seemed to be better, but her spirit was still not very good. Ru Ji kept Su San Niangzi for a long time, and asked Su San Niangzi about her diet, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, it is almost the same as usual. Thinking about it, it can only be understood that the weather has been cold and hot recently, maybe Su Sanniang is still weak.
Coming out of the main room, Ru Xi still felt that her heart was not at peace, and whispered to Pinin Lan to go outside and invite Lang Zhong to another, don't use the Shi family's habits, even if it is good to change two more for Su Sanniang to see. Because it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, it would be okay if Su Sanniang recovered soon, but if it was really delayed, it might affect the trip to Chenzhou with General Shi Ben.
Could it be that the Shi family wants to keep the third lady in the capital? But there is no real benefit to this except for breathing.
When Chen Hao came back in the evening, Ru Ji told him about her worries about Su Sanniang. Chen Hao's face was also a little difficult to look at: "It's hard to say what the Shi family thinks, if it is really Mrs. Shi who has this idea, she still has to guard against it." How is Mother now? β
Ru Ji frowned: "Mother looks fine, but the newly invited Lang Zhong didn't say anything in the afternoon, the loss of qi and blood, the weakness of the spleen and stomach, this is all clichΓ©s, I think it's the same as not saying it, so I want to ask you an idea, can we ask my mother a doctor?" β
Chen Hao thought for a while: "I'll ask the general about this, if he can make a post, the palace will definitely be accommodating." β
Ru Ji nodded: "I hope I'm thinking too much, but even if my mother's illness this time is not calculated, it's not good to get sick before leaving." If you can ask for a doctor, please ask for it, silver or anything is not a problem. β
Chen Hao took Ruxi's hand, somewhat apologetic: "I asked you to follow you to the Shi family, I have wronged you." I've been so busy lately, and I can only rely on you to worry about my mother's affairs. β
Ruji took the initiative to hug him: "I know, you are very busy, as long as you take care of yourself and don't get hurt." β
Chen Hao's heart was also full of warmth, although it was true that he was busy with business, but there was still some time for private matters, he grabbed Ruxi's waist and bowed his head and kissed him, and Jiang Yuexuan was full of spring again.
In the afternoon of the next day, the imperial doctor in the palace arrived, and after checking Su Sanniang's pulse, he didn't say anything big, but just asked Su Sanniang's diet and daily life very carefully, even the soap corner for laundry, the camphor in the wardrobe, and the food that can be eaten, not to mention, even the fragrant and intimate things have been checked. After inquiring for more than an hour, I finally left a few prescriptions, including decoction for eating and drinking, as well as soapy water recipes for shampooing, bathing, and intimate clothing.
Ru Xi watched it on the side, where is this the imperial doctor in the palace, it is clearly a "poison prevention and control expert" + Secret Service investigators, although it is not possible to determine what Su Sanniang is sick this time, but these things left behind are to ensure that Su Sanniang will not be blinded in the future. As for the weak part of the body, the imperial doctor felt that it was okay, and he also left pills in addition to the decoction, basically guaranteeing that it would not affect the trip to Chenzhou, so Su Sanniang and Ru Ji were relieved. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each took a thick red envelope to thank them, and then sent the doctor away.
In the next few days, Ru Ji carefully stared at Su Sanniang's diet and daily life, all the girls were not allowed to act alone, everything was done by two people, and the diet and clothes were carefully adjusted in strict accordance with the prescriptions and instructions left by the imperial doctor, and sure enough, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Sanniang's body was much better.
Occasionally, it was Huan Ningbo's annual birthday banquet, but Ruji just hurried over to take a look. First, Yan Xuan returned to the Xuan family to raise the fetus and it was inconvenient to come out, and secondly, Ming Lu Sakura's postpartum recuperation was not over, Yan Xuan's side had reached the final stage of preparing for marriage, and she was very busy. Of course, it's also necessary to go home and stare at Su Sanniang's side, all in all, it's only an hour before and after, and it's just a birthday gift.
This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet of the Shi family was quite large, because the old lady's birthday was August 25, and General Shi Ben received the order to return to Chenzhou on the first day of September. Being able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing is already a special reward, although Mrs. Shi is not very happy about this, she can't say anything, after all, it is the arrangement of the holy decree.
General Shi Ben probably knew about his mother's love, but there was basically no room for dismantling this love, so he simply spent a lot of money to invite the best opera troupe to sing and tell stories, and gave the eldest lady in charge of the middle feed 1,000 taels of silver to buy wine and dishes. As for the servants up and down the house, Su Sanniang also sent a few hundred taels over, and doubled the monthly reward for the top and bottom.
So this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is also lively, joyful, no matter what the owners of the three rooms have in their hearts, they are still passable. It's just that after dinner, Mrs. Shi asked about General Shi Ben's itinerary preparations, and the atmosphere was still subtle again.
"Mother." General Shi Ben took a glass of wine, walked up to Mrs. Shi, lifted her robe and knelt down, "My son will go to Chenzhou this time, it will be as short as one or two years, and as long as three or five years, in the end, it is inconvenient to return to Beijing often." The only people you have in front of you are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the nephews and nieces. In filial piety, the son is indebted, but the son still has to advise you, if the nephews and nieces have any words and deeds that are inappropriate, you must not indulge them anymore. Parents love their children, and they will plan far-reaching things. They are not young now, it is time to talk about marriage, and it is also the age when they want to set up their own households, whether you are good or me, no one can protect them for a lifetime. Especially the two nephews, in the future, they will be the heads of their own families, and they will be good at life and morality. The elders teach them for their long-term benefit, and if you don't check the small mistakes, you may become a big trouble over time, mother, I hope you will be aware of it. β
General Shi Ben is not a person who has always had a sharp tongue, and his words have been brewing for a long time, and they are extremely sincere at this moment.
Mrs. Shi seemed to be a little unhappy at first, but after hearing it, she seemed to be a little moved: "Alas, the third child, you get up first." β
"Third uncle, I don't dare to agree with all of my second sister-in-law." Second Mrs. Shi sneered and interjected, "Third Uncle, you have not been in the capital for many years, and you brought it over if you owe it?" Why did Brother Zhong and Brother Ren not check their mistakes and become a big problem? Brother Ren is so motivated in his studies, although he has asked others to calculate several times, he has not done anything to others, isn't it enough to suffer losses? What happened to Brother Zhong'er before, the sister-in-law doesn't care about her temperament, do you still think it's the truth of others? Young children, when no one stumbles, don't they just ask people outside to hook up, and the little guys in the house are also greedy and frivolous. Of course, this is his fault, but you watched Brother Zhong'er almost beat the board of Jingzhao Yamen to death! You are the third uncle, how can you be so ruthless? That's all, you still keep saying that the old lady is indulgent, and she is still indulged like this? If you don't indulge it, do you think you have to kill Brother Zhong and Brother Ren directly, and the family will be your three-room world before it stops! He glanced at Su Sanniang and Chen Haoru and his wife, "Especially now that you have renewed the strings, this cheap son and daughter-in-law is actually ready-made!" β
When these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.
Shi Renlang was relatively calm, Shi Zhonglang looked at Ru Ji and the others with a faint flash of hatred like a wild wolf, and Mrs. Shi was red-eyed when she mentioned that her son almost died. As for Master Shi, he was full of thoughts that he couldn't offend Master Shisan, so he just lowered his head.
"The second daughter-in-law's words also make sense." Mrs. Shi felt sorry for her grandson, and originally felt that her family had done not much wrong, but at this moment, she only felt that the words of the second lady were really pleasing to the ear, and she caught a glimpse of the beautiful Su San Lady sitting aside, and the anger in her heart jumped up again, "You are now married to a daughter-in-law, and this mind is not in your own home, and you have taught me a lesson like this." Look at your daughter-in-law like this, I don't know how proud I feel in my heart! When you enter the door, you are Mrs. Yipin, and you don't even have to serve your mother-in-law, hum! β
Ru Ji rolled her eyes in her heart, what is so rare about this lady, can it be used as food and drink, or can it be used as a gold medal to avoid death? If it weren't for Su Sanniang's relationship with General Shi Ben, who would be willing to enter this terrible house?
