Chapter 157: Relief
85_85256The Shen family has not had a funeral for nearly 20 years, the last time was when Shen Xizhen's father Shen Zhihao died, and that time made Du Qiniang feel painful, and she fell seriously ill again, and since then she has fallen ill. Now that the white-haired person is sending the black-haired person, she has broken her liver and intestines, and she has been in a daze all day long, not thinking about tea and dinner, and has never believed the fact that her second son has died, so she fell ill a few days after the burial of Shen Xicong.
Du Qiniang's body was already weak, and with this blow, this illness made Shen Xibin and Ji Yuelian worry all day long, afraid that she would have three long and two short.
And Shen Xizhen's condition is even more strict, and no medicine can work and can only be supported by her own will, so everyone is helpless about her condition, and can only pray secretly.
Now, there are two patients at home, Shen Xibin and Ji ±∮ Wan±∮ Shu±∮ba, Anshub≤ A. Yuelian are busy every day.
Even though there are servants, there are still many things that need to be taken care of by yourself before you can rest assured.
…………
Under a big tree next to a small bridge and flowing water in the people, there are two white-bearded old men playing chess.
"It is said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the Shen family has received so much favor from the emperor in the past few years, maybe it's time for a little loss." The bearded old man whispered.
"But the favor of the Shen family is also exchanged for wisdom and sweat by Guang'an Hou, how can he not avoid such a disaster?" The short-bearded old man retorted.
"As the saying goes, misfortune and blessing, the mystery in this is beyond what you and I can do!" The long-bearded old man stroked his white beard and said. He didn't want to make it too clear, because he really agreed with Shen Xizhen's courage and ability to help Xi Guo win the Mao Kingdom. But he always felt that Shen Xizhen's approach was a little too much, so he would make the Shen family suffer such a blow.
Of course, he didn't dare to say that it was wrong for Shen Xizhen to do this. After all, in the face of foreign invasion, anyone will fight back, but he is more puzzled - why is she so strong that she has taken away a country.
It seemed to see through the mind of the long-bearded old man, and the short-bearded old man said: "There will be some secrets in everyone's heart that they are unwilling to tell outsiders, maybe Guang'anhou has such a secret in his heart." ”
"Qiu Laodao, with the mana of you and me, can't you still see through her thoughts?" The bearded old man asked with a smile.
The short-bearded old man's hand holding the chess piece shook slightly. Suddenly, he remembered what his master, Xuanji Dao Chang, had told him: "Don't use spells to see other people's minds, that doesn't necessarily really help this person or others." ”
So he smiled and said, "This is better to be spared, will her little woman's family still be a demon?" ”
The bearded old man laughed. They didn't talk about it again.
………………
Seven seven and forty-nine days passed, and Shen Xizhen's condition finally gradually improved, but Du Qiniang's condition was still extremely unstable, so she took Du Qiniang to Xiangchaocheng to recuperate for a while.
Initially. Shen Xibin disagreed. I think that both of them are sick, how dare they rest assured to go to such a far place? But Du Qiniang herself also wanted to go out for a walk, so Shen Xibin couldn't bear to go against her will.
Chu Zihou was also very much in favor of Shen Xizhen staying away from the capital to go to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to relax, so he personally escorted them to Xiangchao City.
Shen Xizhen was accompanied by several people who served them on weekdays, such as Xiang'er and Pepper.
Shen Xicong's death also brought a big blow to Xiang'er, and she often hid in the quilt alone and cried for more than a month.
The man she had been in love with for so many years, who had always been an indestructible, god-like existence in her mind, how could he suddenly be gone?
Xiang'er thinks he's too pitiful!
Xiang'er even thought about leaving the Shen Mansion at one point, because the person she liked the most was no longer in this world. And the person she admires the most is about to marry King Qingping, and it doesn't seem to matter if she is in the Shen family or not.
Pepper, who learned of her idea, scolded her: "You stupid! Even if the young lady is going to get married, you can apply to her to follow her. Besides, even if she really can't bring you, Mrs. Du and Shen Shilang are very good to us, do you dare to say that you can meet such a good person in other places? And, there's ...... Don't you still have a friend of mine? ”
Seeing that Pepper was anxious and angry, Xiang'er laughed and gently suppressed the previous thought.
Xiangchao City is not big, with only 2,000 residents, but it is backed by a mountain and faces the sea, and the environment is very quiet and open, which is very suitable for relaxation and vacation.
Most of the people living here are fishermen, so they mainly depend on the sea for their livelihood.
Shen Xizhen didn't want to alarm the local residents, so he only met with the manager of Xiang Chaocheng. After that, she moved into a wild resort arranged for her by the stewards.
This resort is built inside a large garden.
When everyone entered the gate of the garden, they felt the fragrance of flowers coming to their noses, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Everyone looked up, but saw that the garden was full of osmanthus, chrysanthemums, marigold, hibiscus, oleander and hibiscus and other seasonal flowers, plus different colors, even more violet and red.
Everyone instantly fell in love with it.
When you look closely, the orange roof of the resort peeks out from the flowers, giving you the impression of being surrounded by flowers.
Although I sincerely sighed at the scenery of this place in my heart, because Du Qiniang was there, no one dared to exclaim, only a few people said cautiously: "The environment here is really good!" ”
"Yes! Now that you've come to this fairyland-like place, let's open your hearts and have fun. Du Qiniang, who was on the tip of her ear, had already heard their conversation and said with a smile.
After this time when the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, Du Qiniang thought about it a lot, and felt that life was only a few decades, so it was better to cherish the present with all her heart, because no one could predict what would happen in the next moment.
Everyone saw that Du Qiniang had a smile on her face, and her tone was much lighter than before, and they all said sincerely: "Yes, yes!" ”
"If Aunt likes it, come often, anyway, this is already a fief of Xizhen." Chu Zihou also said with a smile.
"Well, I used to wonder why she chose such a small and delicate remote town, but now it seems that she was prescient." Du Qiniang said sincerely.
A group of people walked to the resort house laughing and talking.
By the time everyone had settled their rooms, it was already evening, and the resort caretaker brought them dinner. Since it is a small seaside town, it is usually served with a variety of fish feasts. However, because Du Qiniang and Shen Xizhen were both in the period of filial piety, they asked for all vegetarian dishes, and gave the fish and meat food to Chu Zihou and others.
Chu Zihou also automatically and consciously put the meat aside, and ate vegetarian dishes with Shen Xizhen and Du Qiniang. (To be continued......).
