Chapter 31: Dying
After Wei Yi left, Shen Yueran did not return to the Shen family directly, but rushed straight to the cake shop, cleaned, tidied up, and started the stove again.
Master Wei said that he would leave, and he didn't know whether he was angry or shy - but whether he was angry or shy, what else could she Shen Yueran do except hurry up and send the two hundred shortbreads promised to the yamen?
What's more, today is August 13, and there are two days left to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She did it as soon as she thought of it, and busily opened it one stove after another. After making 200 shortbreads, it was already the time of Shen Zheng (four o'clock) in the afternoon.
She didn't dare to delay, packed the shortbread, borrowed a wheelbarrow, and pushed it crookedly to the yamen.
When Zhang Wenxing saw two hundred hot shortbreads, he seemed to have been prepared, and without saying a word, he led two officials and asked Shen Yueran to send cakes to the old, weak, sick, disabled, widowed, and lonely people in Wenchi County for free.
Everywhere he went, Zhang Wenxing diligently introduced that this was Shen Yueran's re-improved Meijia shortbread, which was crispy and delicious.
Shen Yueran was like falling into the clouds.
Although she didn't know why the county magistrate sang this play, she understood that this play was a good show and a good play, and for her, shortbread was promoted, and for the people, it was beneficial.
Of course, the most important thing is that all the people of Wenchi were surprised by the shortbread she made.
"This is an old girl's cake?"
"Yes, the county magistrate said that she did it, and there will be a fake."
"Didn't the sister-in-law of the Shen family say that her sister-in-law was sloppy by nature and lazy to eat, how could she make such delicious shortbread?"
"Oh, it's really, could it be that there is some misunderstanding?"
……
Shen Yueran felt a sigh in her heart, it was true that she was sloppy and lazy, and it was also true that she made shortbread, whether everyone ridiculed her or praised her, in fact, she was still her, the old girl who didn't want to get married.
Two hundred shortbreads seemed to be a lot, and they were distributed, but there were not many of them, and by dusk, they had already been divided.
She bowed down and thanked Zhang Wenxing, who knew that Zhang Wenxing waved his hand again and again, saying that it was ordered by the adult, and hoped that she would say a few more kind words in front of the adult in the future.
Since it is the "adult" in Zhang Wenxing's mouth, it is naturally Lord Wei.
Shen Yueran was suddenly relieved, since the adults were still willing to arrange for her, then this morning would definitely not be because of negative anger. Since it's not because of negative energy, it's -- shyness?
It seems that a woman's intuition is very powerful, and Caiyu's cowardly attitude at that time is vivid, and it is really a lang who is affectionate, and a concubine is intentional.
But it's hard for her to say a few kind words, she doesn't even know the full name, position, and family background of the adult, not to mention, it is estimated that there will be no chance to meet again in the future, where are you going to go to the good words?
But seeing Zhang Wenxing's humble appearance, she decided not to be too honest.
Who wouldn't?
She pretended to be reserved, and muffled "oh oh" in response.
The more vague she was, the more Zhang Wenxing felt that her relationship with Wei Yi was not ordinary, so her attitude became more respectful. Not to mention sending her back to Shen's house in person, he also deliberately went in to see Shen Minggong on the hospital bed, leaving five taels of silver to show his gratitude.
As soon as Zhang Wenxing left, Wu Zhaorongle blossomed.
The sin she suffered was not in vain, and the thought she spent was not in vain, and she waited for five years, and it was worth it to wait for the identity of the sister-in-law of the concubine of the Lord of Qipin County.
She was in a good mood, recovered from her injuries quickly, and was much kinder to the Shen family.
Shen Yueran was bent on striking while the iron was hot, hurriedly making more shortbread and selling it for more silver, where could he speculate about Wu Zhaorong's careful thoughts. She only thought that she was frightened because of Yu Xiaoying, so she restrained a lot.
The two sisters-in-law are looking forward to one and the other is busy, and the Shen family has a few days of peace.
Sadly, this tranquility did not last long.
On the first day of the ninth month, when it was approaching, Shen Yueran was busy in the cake shop, and Feng Suhua ran over in a panic, saying that Shen Minggong was no longer good.
Shen Yueran was taken aback, Lang Zhongdao, who had only heard about the follow-up a while ago, Shen Minggong was able to walk on crutches for a while, why was it suddenly not good.
She hurriedly rushed back to Shen's house, and Wu Zhaorong was already lying on the edge of the bed crying darkly.
"Father-in-law, you can't leave us behind, my daughter-in-law hasn't served you well...... It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault...... For the sake of the Shen family, for the sake of Rihui, my father-in-law must not go like this...... Rihui hasn't come back yet, my father-in-law must hold on......"
Wu Zhaorong cried and grabbed the ground, and Shen Minggong was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and his face was like ashes.
Shen Yueran felt bad, and asked Lang Zhong on the side in a trembling voice, "Daddy, he-"
Lang Zhong shook his head again and again and sighed, "The Shen family is old, and he was injured in the previous fall, which was already a heavy injury, and if he falls again this time, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, no, it is better to prepare for the future as soon as possible." ”
Shen Yueran couldn't wait to cover her ears.
How can it be?
People who are good before going out, how can they say that they can't do it?
She hasn't had time to change rooms with him yet, so why can't she say no?
She was angry and anxious, and pushed Lang Zhong out of the door, "If you say no, you can't?" It's because your medical skills are not high and you can't cure it, why do you say that your father can't do it! You go, daddy doesn't need you to see, you don't need to treat, you go! ”
This side drove Lang Zhong out of the door, and that side walked into the south room, picked up the purse and walked out.
This time, she has made a lot of money selling cakes, and she wants to invite the most expensive Lang Zhong to treat Shen Minggong!
Before he walked out of the western room, Wu Zhaorong whimpered and came out to grab her, "Daddy opened his eyes and said that he wanted to talk to you alone......"
******
"Yue'er."
As soon as Shen Minggong's old voice came out, Shen Yueran's tears fell.
"Daddy, you're lying down, that Lang Zhong is all nonsense, Yue'er now has silver, go and invite the most expensive Lang Zhong to heal Daddy." Shen Yueran sobbed.
Shen Minggong shook his head weakly, a wry smile squeezed out of the corner of his eyes, "Daddy's body knows by himself, it's not who has the final say on whether it works or not, but this life should have been God's a long time ago." Living until now, my father is content. Yue'er don't cry, talk to your father for a while, okay? ”
Shen Yueran tearfully agreed.
Shen Minggong held her hand and said sadly, "Yue'er, you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, you don't have to blame Rihui, if you want to blame your father, blame your father." It's all your father, it's all your brother and sister who are in the northwest, it's all your father, it's all your brother's and sister's fault. ”
Shen Yueran couldn't cry, "It's not Daddy's fault, it's Yue'er'......'s"
No, it's not Shen Minggong's fault, it's not Shen Yueran's fault, it's all the fault of the dog man and woman!
If she hadn't been forced onto the rooftop by the pair of dog men and women, how could she have crossed over to Shen Yueran's body!
If she hadn't crossed over, the real Shen Yueran would have been married to the son of the Chen family who sold long-grain rice, Wu Zhaorong would not have made the Shen family restless every day, Shen Rihui would not have to get up early and go out to work greedily, and Shen Minggong would not have fallen from the city!
She was so sad that she hid her face and wept bitterly.
