Chapter 125: Falling ill
The husband and wife hurriedly got up, the second master Shen and the Guan family over there also got up, Chu Yiyao thought about it and asked Baosheng to go to the warehouse to scoop up some good medicinal materials, and the four of them got into the carriage and rushed towards the Shen Mansion.
The sound of carriages on the silent road in the middle of the night was particularly abrupt, and when he arrived at the gate of the Shen family, he hurried to the courtyard of the old man Shen, and the brightly lit courtyard was full of people in the middle of the night, and the second master Shen couldn't help frowning, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Shen Shixuan followed Second Master Shen into Old Man Shen's room, where Master Shen and Shen Shijin stayed, and there were two doctors there to see a doctor.
"What the hell is going on?" Obviously, the old man was fine at home when they set off for the Yamen, but after a few hours of hard work, the person fainted.
Shen Shixuan glanced at Shen Shijin with a gloomy face, walked out of the house directly, and whispered a few words to Chu Yiyao outside the house, Chu Yiyao nodded, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and met Yan and Shui Ruoqian.
Chu Yiyao instructed the peacock to invite someone, glanced at Yan's family, pulled a maid beside him and asked, "Where is the white steward?" â
The maid said that she didn't see it, Chu Yiyao was puzzled, the white steward was almost inseparable from the old man's side, how could he not be in the yard.
"I've already moved out, how can I still care about the affairs of the Shen family." Yan Shi was locked up ten times and eight times, and she couldn't change her snarky temperament, seeing Chu Yiyao inquiring about the whereabouts of the white steward, she said sharply, and her emaciated cheeks were even more terrifying.
"Auntie, you also said that you just moved out, and you didn't separate the family, so why can't you take care of the Shen family's affairs." Chu Yiyao lazily talked to her again, and asked a few people who didn't know what was going on, only that the old man suddenly fainted, and she always felt that it was not so simple.
"Yo, now that the momentum has risen, no wonder they dare to ignore the Shen family and make people laugh at our Shen family."
Chu Yiyao glanced back at her and smiled, "That's not as big as the eldest aunt's momentum, if you don't poison it, how can I have the opportunity to report to the official, I think the twenty big boards haven't let the eldest aunt remember it for a long time." â
Yan's expression twitched, the twenty boards, she almost fainted, not to mention, she could only lie on her stomach for several months, was that the life of a person in the cell, the mildew did not see the day, she couldn't sleep well, she couldn't eat well, there were insects everywhere, those people were dirty and smelly, and the taste would be unforgettable for a lifetime.
Chu Yiyao didn't pay any attention to it, but went directly out of Old Man Shen's courtyard to the second room, and after moving out, the Shen Mansion also left people, if they had the intention to hide something, they would definitely not be able to find out anything from the people in Old Man Shen's courtyard.
Returned to the scholarly courtyard, asked a few people and couldn't say clearly, until I asked an old woman who was guarding the door, she happened to be on the shift for a while tonight, guarding the door at the entrance of the garden, after the eldest master and the eldest young master came back, it happened that she saw that the eldest young master had been to the old man's yard, "The later things are not clear, when the time comes, other mothers-in-law come to change the team, and I haven't seen the eldest young master come out." â
Chu Yiyao asked clearly the time when Old Man Shen had an accident, less than an hour before and after Shen Shijin entered.
Chu Yiyao asked again, "Can you see the white butlers in the old man's yard coming in and out?" The old woman shook her head, Chu Yiyao asked several people to go, and when she turned back to the old man's yard, the people had already dispersed.
The old man had vomited blood before fainting, and the two doctors said that it was caused by internal stasis, and the old man Shen would get sick every time he was cold in the past two years, and the symptoms became more when he was older.
Second Master Shen glanced at the room worriedly and asked the doctor, "What causes the symptoms of vomiting blood?" â
The two doctors glanced at each other, and one of them explained to Second Master Shen, "Because the old man's physical condition is not good, there are many reasons for vomiting blood. Chu Yiyao didn't hear a specific reason for listening for a long time, according to the doctor's meaning, it was possible that he fell asleep at night, and suddenly vomited blood.
Also confused were Second Master Shen and Shen Shixuan, when did the doctor's pulse level be so low, and the symptoms were so general, Shen Shixuan said, "Qi and blood are impetuous, will it also cause vomiting blood and fainting?" â
"This..."The doctor hesitated, and was about to say something, when the peacock at the door walked in with two other doctors, Shen Shijin's face was ugly, "Second brother, what do you mean by this." â
Shen Shixuan nodded towards the two doctors, "Big brother, you also saw it, after asking so many questions, these two doctors still can't say why, how can you rest assured of this kind of medical skills, I will send someone to Huichun Hall and invite two more doctors to come over, it's better to look carefully." After speaking, let Peacock take the two doctors in.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shijin stopped them at the moment and attacked Shen Shixuan, "Second brother, you don't believe what the doctor said, what does it mean to invite two other doctors to come over, this Shen family is not your turn to call the shots." â
Second Master Shen's brows furrowed, "Shi Jin, it's about your grandfather's body, since these two doctors are vague, it's reasonable for Shi Xuan to invite two more to come over and take a look, why are you blocking and not letting in, what does this have to do with being in charge or not." â
"Second uncle, since you have moved out, please come over today, you just watch, where are the two doctors unclear, grandfather's health has always been bad, this suddenly vomited blood and fainted, they naturally did not dare to make a judgment." Shen Shijin just didn't let them in, not so much that he wanted to hide something, but that he was putting on a clear posture, this Shen family was their master.
"Nonsense!" Master Shen, who had been silent, suddenly scolded, "What is the master, your grandfather's life is the most important thing, don't get out of the way." â
Shen Shijin saw the fierce color in Master Shen's eyes, and turned sideways unwillingly, and the peacock walked in with the two doctors.
After a while, one of the doctors came out, "The vomiting of blood caused by the congestion of the heart is also related to internal congestion, and it is mostly due to the anger." "The rest is not something he can say as a doctor, what anger he suffered before vomiting blood, what anger he had, what happened to him.
The four doctors prescribed medicine together and had acupuncture with the old man Shen, and it was almost dawn when he left.
The outer room was quiet, and after half a sound, Second Master Shen asked Master Shen directly, "Big brother, did something happen at night, how could you get angry when you fell asleep well, I haven't seen the white butler, isn't he waiting for my father with him?" â
"What can happen when you fall asleep at night." Yan muttered beside him, the atmosphere condensed again, Chu Yiyao raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Shijin, what did he say to make Old Man Shen vomit blood and faint directly.
"Uncle, haven't you been to your grandfather's place since you came back?"
No one admitted that it didn't matter, Shen Shixuan looked directly at Shen Shijin, "The mother-in-law guarding the door has seen the eldest brother enter the grandfather's place, and the eldest brother must know why the grandfather fainted." â
Shen Shijin didn't deny it, but said that he had entered Old Man Shen's yard well, but when he saw that it was getting late, he didn't bother anymore, and at the end there was a touch of remorse on his face, "Grandfather has been unwell recently, if I knew that this would happen, I should have gone in to take a look, so that maybe I could find out about my grandfather's strangeness early." â
Chu Yiyao secretly spit out in her heart, acting.
The white butler who was waiting close was not there, and the grandfather didn't like to have someone else in the yard when he slept, so where could he find someone to corroborate, even if there was, when they arrived, they would have bought it, and what could they ask.
"Let's talk about everything when Daddy wakes up." Master Shen made an ending, and this matter was regarded as an emergency, Chu Yiyao pulled Shen Shixuan, even if he wanted to investigate, now is not a good time.
The sky outside the house was already dark, and Chu Yiyao and the others were temporarily resting in the scholarly courtyard, but they were still sleeping at this time.
No wonder Shen Shixuan can conclude that it was Shen Shijin who said something exciting, his grandfather's heart is so tough, is he the kind of person who sleeps until he vomits blood, only those who care can stimulate him, in this Shen family, the person that grandfather cares about the most is the eldest brother, and from the hour, it really happened after he entered.
"Yiyao, I'm a little worried." Half-loud, Shen Shixuan sighed, "Everything the uncle said will be said when my grandfather wakes up, I'm worried..." Shen Shixuan didn't continue, Chu Yiyao got up and patted him on the shoulder, comforting, "I know what you're worried about, but I don't think it's going to be like that, if my grandfather can't sleep, then it's not as simple as asking a doctor, and if the government intervenes at that time, it won't be good for them to ask something." â
"I hope so." Shen Shixuan took her hand and put it in his arms, "You rest for a while, and when it dawns, you and your mother go back first, there can't be no one at home." Chu Yiyao nodded, but did not close his eyes and fall asleep, but lay in his arms thinking about things...
An hour passed and the sky was bright, Chu Yiyao and Guan were about to go back, and the mother who was guarding the old man's yard hurriedly ran over to inform him that the old man woke up, and after waking up, he didn't say anything but twitched and foamed at the mouth.
"Mother, you go over and have a look first, I'll go back home to see Kang'er and come over." Chu Yiyao hurriedly went home, and when she entered the house, Kang Er sat on her bed and looked at her with an aggrieved expression, and when she woke up, her father was gone, her mother was gone, and her grandfather and grandmother were gone.
"Grandfather is sick, Kang'er is obedient, my mother will go to see him, will I accompany you when I come back?" Chu Yiyao hugged her son, the Shen family is now full of chaotic people, and he can't take care of the child when he brings it over, so it's better to stay at home.
"Mother, come back early." Although she was reluctant, Kang Er still let go of her hand aggrievedly, and sat there with a small mouth, which was very painful.
If Old Man Shen is better, Chu Yiyao doesn't mind taking his son to accompany him and make the old man happy, "My mother will be back soon, you are obedient, my mother will come back and make something delicious for you." Chu Yiyao kissed him on the cheek, and told Baosheng who stayed at home some things, and quickly rushed back to Shen's house.
The doctor said that Mr. Shen had a stroke.
Chu Yiyao looked at the old man Shen who couldn't suppress his convulsions, and was speechless for a while.
Even the decoction that was fed in couldn't be swallowed completely, overflowing from the crooked corners of the mouth, and the mother on the side quickly wiped it clean and continued to feed the medicine.
Old Man Shen trembled his hands and wanted to pat the bowl in front of him, glanced at the people in the room, and opened his mouth to say anything, but it was all vague and indistinct.
In order to avoid Old Man Shen being stimulated again, the doctor and the people who took care of him were left inside, and the rest of the people walked out, Guan's eyes were still a little red, as if he had cried, compared to the fainting last night, this sudden stroke was undoubtedly worse.
"Now the top priority is not only to see a doctor for my father, but also to stabilize things in the business bank." Master Shen spoke, "Some of the things that Dad is in charge of have to be handled by us for the time being." â
Second Master Shen and Shen Shixuan glanced at each other, and Second Master Shen asked, "How do you arrange the eldest brother?" â
"Second brother, the affairs of the Huizhou branch may have to trouble you to go over and help, Shi Jin will take over some of my affairs, and I will take care of the things that my father has, and Shi Xuan will have to take care of more family affairs in addition to the previous ones."
"I'm not familiar with Huizhou." Now it is not clear what the Huizhou branch is like, and he can't rush to top this matter.
Shen Shixuan knew better than Second Master Shen what the situation was like in Huizhou, and he took Second Master Shen's words and refused Lord Shen's arrangement, "Uncle, it's good that Huizhou is still a trustworthy steward under the eldest brother, my father is not familiar with these things, it is enough to do the original thing." â
This is exactly what Shen Shijin wants, even if it is not going well now, he doesn't want the people in the second room to know anything about the Huizhou branch, "Dad, what the second brother said is right, the second uncle is not familiar with Huizhou after all, so it is appropriate to stay here to help." Regardless of the disapproval in Lord Shen's eyes, Shen Shijin just wanted to control everything in his own hands.
In the discussion of the four people, these things of the Shen family were arranged so temporarily, Shen Shijin immediately arranged for someone to return to Huizhou, and Master Shen went into Old Man Shen's study to see what things had not been done in Old Man Shen's hands.
Old Man Shen is still a little delirious now, and this illness will affect many things...
After more than ten days, Chu Yiyao would go back to the Shen family every two days, and Old Man Shen's condition had improved, but it was getting better very slowly.
And in the past ten days, Chu Yiyao has never seen the white steward, as if this person suddenly disappeared.
Master Shen's explanation is that the white steward often goes to work for Old Man Shen, and it is normal to leave for ten days and a half months, but in Chu Yiyao's opinion, it is really a little strange that this person is missing.
In the blink of an eye in June, Old Man Shen's condition has stabilized, but he has to sit in a wheelchair when he goes out, and he can't speak, and his temper has returned to his previous state.
The Guan family temporarily moved back to the Shen family to take care of Old Man Shen, and all the affairs of the family here were handed over to Chu Yiyao, Chu Yiyao was even busier than Shen Shixuan, and now there are housekeeping in the shop and restaurant, and now there are housework, almost jâĄj.
Shen Shixuan sent people to inquire in many ways and there was still no news about the white stewardship, and the old man Shen couldn't write or speak now, and what happened in the house that day seemed to be so mysterious.
At the end of June, the Sangtian Palace began to start, the white prince had a large amount of silver donated generously by the merchants of Jinling, and there was the title deed, the initial start of construction was not troublesome at all, he also symbolically sent some gifts to the merchants who went to the banquet, a person a Luoyang Huanggong purple sand cup, the emperor used this, everyone like a treasure to scoop back to collect, the white prince is still very satisfied with the results.
Chu Yiyao put the cup directly in the warehouse, if she wants to say that the most angry in the world, she thinks it must be the royal family.
But this hot summer hasn't passed yet, early one morning in early July, the Chu family came back with a news, saying that the second aunt Xiao had a big accident, and she suffocated the second uncle's son who was less than two years old.
When Chu Yiyao heard the news, she was discussing with Mother Qian about the purchase of fabrics in the Autumn Queen Mansion, and after listening to it, she subconsciously glanced at the place where Kang'er was sitting, and looked back at Ping'er, who passed the news, "Slow down, what's going on." â
"I don't know what the specific situation is, uncle, now the person has been arrested and locked up in prison."
"When will the trial begin?" This kind of thing will definitely not be interrogated by Lord Li in secret, and when the time comes, the whole of Jinling will know about it.
"Just three days later."
Half-loud, Chu Yiyao sighed, the second brother has sent the news back, and he must have to go to the Chu family.
Chu Yiyao walked outside the house and looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, it seems that this year will not be peaceful...
