- Seeing that there was some dejection on her very young face, he didn't want to say much, but when he turned around to leave after giving instructions to Xiangye, he hesitated again, and finally couldn't help but comfort: "Don't look at it, it seems that you can only move in that small courtyard most of the time in the future, but at the same time, you have to bear the responsibility of protecting the eldest lady, and you can't change the guard." Do you know how much Xiangye hopes that the eldest lady can get better one day sooner? Xiangye's expectations for you are not small. ”

Leng Yiyan's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Uncle housekeeper, I will do this job well." ”

The old butler saw the seriousness and firmness in the young man's eyes, he smiled happily, nodded, and said: "There is one more thing to tell you, the maid who will be responsible for serving the eldest lady in the future is Qingqiang, you are no stranger to her, and you must be able to get along very well in the future." ”

As the chief steward in charge of all the daily chores of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he said this sentence very confidently and well-founded.

The old housekeeper knew very well in his heart, he clearly remembered that Qingqiang and Leng Yi entered the Xiangfu on the same day. For this reason, two children of similar age played together in their spare time, and the friendship between the children was very close.

Later, Qingqiang served Cen late, and the coldness grew to a certain age, and the proportion of time spent practicing martial arts under the three people who served as martial artists in the ten generals increased, and the opportunity for the two to play together became rarer.

This time the two have the opportunity to serve the eldest lady together, which may also mean the renewal of their childhood friendship!

I learned from the old butler that I would be able to meet with Qingqiang often in the future and serve the Lord together. The cold face gradually showed a happy smile.

It seems that the old butler's speculation is going to come true.

……

Because of the special personal situation of the eldest lady, in order to serve her properly, it must be inseparable from her, and almost eat and sleep together. After going to the old housekeeper for advice and gaining understanding and support, Qingqiang began to 'move' the total distance no more than the scope of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Qingqiang dragged a bed of cotton wool rolled up with a sheet, she made one last trip to the small courtyard where the eldest lady lived. She suddenly saw more than a dozen paces ahead. Two young men drove by with a cart of firewood.

The small courtyard where the eldest lady lived was close to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and looking at the direction in which the two young men walked, it was also to go to the back door of the Shifu. Therefore, Qingqiang is considered to be on the same road as those two people.

The two of them couldn't walk too fast with the firewood cart, and Qingqiang was dragging a bed of cotton wool in her hand, so naturally she couldn't go fast. The two sides were slowly intertwined on the same road one after the other, and no one left anyone behind. But no one copied anyone's path.

After walking for a while, Qingqiang saw the short knives hanging from the two young men's waists. Identifying that these two people were members of the Ten Generals, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

The duty of the ten generals is to protect the safety of Xiangye, although they are servants, but they are by no means simple. Occasionally, they do side things. But it will definitely not be such a lowish job as dyeing hands and firewood houses.

Until Qingqiang suddenly saw a corner of her clothes exposed between the firewood piles on the firewood cart......

She thought that she was too tired in the past few days because she had taken care of Cen Chi day and night, so she was dazzled.

But the diesel cart is just ahead. With her, she could easily take over what she thought she was looking at flowers.

And when she blinked. Seeing that the corner of the roof was indeed under the pyre, her heart chuckled and a bolt of lightning slid over her.

She is very familiar with this kind of clothing, in fact, the maid dress she wears herself is made of this kind of fabric.

Why is this kind of clothing pressed under the pyre? Why is the firewood cart full of firewood not sent to the house, but to the outside? Why is the firewood cart transported by the people of the ten generals, and what are the rough servants of the firewood house doing......

Gathering many clues, Qingqiang's thinking direction suddenly entered a realm that she herself felt scared.

And when she was about to look at it again and see clearly, a figure suddenly flashed into her sight! Because she was so focused on the front that she forgot what was going to happen behind her, the sudden arrival of this scene made her so startled that she almost fell backwards to the ground.

"Sister Qiang'er!"

After approaching Qingqiang lightly, he shouted coldly, and suddenly jumped in front of her from behind Qingqiang, his original intention was to surprise her, and by the way, he also wanted to scare her, but he didn't expect to really scare her into such a situation.

Seeing Qingqiang's face turned pale in an instant, her eyes were straight, and she was a little panicked with coldness, her long arm reached out, and she supported Qingqiang's body that wanted to lean back, and said in surprise: "Sister Qiang'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh... It's nothing ......," Qingqiang replied casually.

The sudden intervention of another person gave her the illusion that the unspoken discovery in her heart was exposed to the eyes of others, and she reflexively spoke perfunctorily.

It wasn't until she saw the person in front of her clearly that she breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Xiao Leng, why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be me?" Leng saw that Qingqiang was relieved, he was also relieved, and then he was about to help with the futon that Qingqiang was pulling with some difficulty, "I'll help you get it." ”

After recognizing Leng Yi, Qing Qiang had no defense against him, and easily let go of her hand, and the bound futon slid into Leng Yi's hand and carried it.

With a light hand, she couldn't help but look at the two people pulling the firewood cart again. It's just that in the time when she paused, the cart of firewood had been pulled away by the two of them, the image was blurry, and the corner of the clothes exposed on the firewood cart was not very clear.

Qingqiang turned her gaze back, and the corner of her gaze slid over the knife hanging from Leng Yi's waist, and stopped on the slightly sharpened cowhide handle, and she thought more seriously that although Leng Yi was only thirteen years old, a few months younger than herself, he did have the identity of one of the ten generals.

I have long heard that even if the members of the ten generals are not guaranteed, there are at least seven adults, and the blades of the green steel knives hanging diagonally around their waists have licked human blood.

Although the coldness in front of him rarely left the Prime Minister's Mansion, the wear and tear of the handle of his saber was mostly due to his diligent practice. The reason is relatively simple, but if he grows up for a few years, he will inevitably be the same as the other members of the Ten Family Generals......

As soon as she thought of this, Qingqiang coughed dryly, and then asked softly, "Xiao Leng, are you here for something?" As she spoke, she stepped back half a step with a slight movement.

Leng Yi seemed to be unaware of Qingqiang's small action. Actually, it's because he doesn't care in the first place. And also thought that this was a normal expression of a woman's reserve, after all, the two of them were really too close just now.

Hearing Qingqiang's soft inquiry, Leng Yi replied with a smile: "Uncle Housekeeper asked me to protect the eldest lady...... And you. You don't know? ”

It wasn't for him to mention it, Qingqiang really didn't know about it. She had just gone to ask the old butler about his move, and the butler agreed. But he didn't mention anything else, maybe he forgot.

But she thought about it. She met the lord in the courtyard before, and the lord not only personally assigned her to serve in the courtyard of the eldest lady, but also mentioned that he would also send someone over to guard the safety of the courtyard. So it seems. What Leng Yi said is true.

It's just that it's still surprising, I didn't expect another person sent to the eldest lady. It's cold.

Qingqiang looked at the cold young face and endured it. Without glancing at the saber at his waist again, a hint of complexity drifted through her delighted mood.

In the private residence of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the north of the city, new greenery can already be seen everywhere in the garden, but those fresh and tender green leaves are reflected in Shi Jing's eyes, but they seem to be rendered by his calm gaze The color of dry winter.

Shi Xin, the third son of the Shi family, who was walking beside his father, was not in the mood to look at the new greenery on the side of the road, but he still had some faint sadness in his heart from the words that he cherished when he said goodbye to Cen Chi just now.

For Cen Chi, a guest in the house, Shi Xin sometimes couldn't tell whether he used him more, or whether he really had a friendship.

His father's admonition reminded him to ring in his ears from time to time, and when he thought of this, Shi Xin's eyes were slightly biased, although he didn't see the look in his father's eyes clearly, he could clearly perceive the depth of his face, which made Shi Xin calm down immediately.

When he was about to enter the living room, Shi Jing suddenly sighed: "This month, there seem to be a lot of sick characters in Beijing, and doctors with some skills are all entangled in something." ”

Shi Xin pondered for a moment after hearing this, and after entering the hall, he said softly: "If Yan Yizheng is not a thief at home, maybe ......."

"The one who steals things and can steal them to his house is also a character." Shi Jing raised his hand and interrupted his son's words, he secretly held his breath, and said: "Don't steal anything else, just pick up his medicine box, this thief has to be a big person." ”

The servants standing in the hall saw Master Shi beckoning, and hurriedly bowed down in response, and hurriedly walked out of the hall to prepare tea.

Hearing his father's words come to this point, Shi Xin's eyes froze, and in an instant, he showed a look of surprise: "Could it be ......?"

At this time, he was still unbelievable, Yan Guang, as the most qualified elder of the Yan family and the most authoritative physician representative of the Taiyi Bureau, actually lied about what he valued the most?

This behavior is too far from his image!

Although Shi Xin is young, he is also a person who has been in officialdom for a few years, plus before he joined the office, he could get his father's teachings when he was at home, so he is naturally familiar with some rules in officialdom, and people's hearts cannot be regarded as the most basic common sense.

But Yan Guang is a different person, and it seems that his character cannot be measured by such rules.

Yan Guangguan served as the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and like many of the courtiers of the current court, he was a relict of the previous court. Although Yan Guang has been a medical practitioner for decades, and his official fortune has withstood the subversive baptism of changing the dynasty, and his qualifications are quite heavy, he has never been able to enter the honorary position of minister.

All the imperial doctors and students of the Taiyi Bureau are never allowed to be involved in politics or discuss politics, which is a strict order that has continued for most of the previous dynasty. Now that the emperor surnamed Wang is in charge of the operation of the dynasty, this decree is still retained without any change.

And the pattern of Beijing officials, because of this decree that has lasted for more than a hundred years, has naturally formed a division. If it is said that the longer the people in the officialdom are mixed, the more exquisite they are, and even the faces of Buddhas and ghosts, then the longer the medical officers in the Taiyi Bureau have been in office, the more peaceful they are.

About fourteen years ago, the mother of the Ling Emperor of the previous dynasty was seriously ill, and Yan Guang, who had just been promoted to the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, was a little helpless. Adhering to the heart of a doctor who saves people, Yan Guang asked Emperor Ling for a gift and recommended his friend Liao Shilai to treat the Queen Mother.

Although Emperor Ling was indulged in pleasure, he was indeed very filial to his biological mother. Because I care about the safety of my mother. Emperor Ling didn't care about Liao Shi's unknown identity and almost suddenly came out of the ground, and allowed him to enter the palace to check the pulse of the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, as recommended by Yan Guang, Liao Shi took out a kind of yao powder that he carried with him as a medicine guide, and dispensed a dose of medicine, which woke up the unconscious Queen Mother. Because of this, Liao Shi was personally given the reputation of 'pharmacist' by Emperor Ling.

However. Liao Shi just woke up the Queen Mother. but not saved.

After waking up after taking the medicine for the first time, the Queen Mother lived for less than a month before she suddenly died! This time, his condition took a turn for the worse. It was even more sudden than the previous time, and the human life was gone if it was gone.

The sudden death of the Queen Mother made Emperor Ling furious, and at the same time. Liao Shi was also attacked by a group of medical officers of the Taiyi Bureau.

Because during Liao Shi's treatment of the Queen Mother, although he insisted on using a medicine he brought with him as a medicine guide. But in addition, other compounds and cooking utensils are provided by the Taiyi Medical Bureau. The death of the Queen Mother, the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau are also responsible.

However, in the face of the emperor in a rage. The large group of medical officers didn't want to be dragged down by a mistakenly named Tulang, and went to the funeral of the dead old woman of the emperor's family, so they had to shirk all the responsibility.

Initially. Because of the recommender Yan Guang's best to protect people, Emperor Ling also punished Liao Shi severely. Some hesitated. Yan Guangwei Liao Shi defended the reasoning, and Emperor Ling could still listen to it in his mind at that time.

But the sad thing is that because Liao Shi not only does not have a trace of fame in the world, he is also extremely ugly. And sometimes when he laughs wildly, there will be a little bit of sparkle in his eyes. Some medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau noticed this, and after conspiring, they covered him with the notoriety of the medicine ghost heir, but this said that the Spirit Emperor believed it.

In the end, if it weren't for Yan Guang's life to protect his friends, and the emperor did as Yan Guang argued, he couldn't find strong evidence of the relationship between Liao Shi and the medicine ghost descendant, Liao Shi might really want to be in a different place.

Liao Shi's final punishment was permanent imprisonment and imprisonment.

The people who were originally watching this matter coldly estimated that with Liao Shi's appearance, he would die of old age after living in the prison for a few years, so they didn't fall into the well again.

But he never thought that Liao Shi was extremely hard-hitting, in the prison where there was no sunlight all day long, and rats and insects were rampant, he not only lived for nearly five years, but also luckily lived until the fall of the Zhou Dynasty and the new monarchy's decree of amnesty to the emperor.

But when Liao Shi was released from prison, there was no joy or anger on his face, and he only said coldly: "Liao is alive and will not treat anyone again." ”

Now it seems that these are all gossip, but what happened to Liao Shi has made a certain atmosphere in the Taiyi Bureau more and more solid. No one will dare to stand out in front of everyone anymore, and in the face of the more serious matters for the Taiyi Bureau, it must be the results that the medical officers have discussed with each other, and then one of them will take the lead.

I don't want everyone to share the burden, but it's best to share the credit equally. Prudence and precision are not only one of the key principles of medical morality, but a certain kind of cautious feeling has now infected and changed everyone in the Taiyi Bureau.

The people in the Taiyi Bureau may not all be virtuous and benevolent saints, but they must definitely not make a single mistake or omission. Even if you do, at least don't show your mistakes.

Yan Guang spanned two dynasties and served as the chief physician of the Taiyi Bureau, and he has always done so. I don't know if it is shaped by the environment of the Taiyi Medical Bureau, or because of Yan Guang's own tempered heart.

However, as long as a normal person maintains a posture mentally for more than ten years, even if he plays a part of this image at first, it will affect his heart after so many years of accumulation.

If Yan Guang has been in the position of the Taiyi Bureau for more than ten years, he has not yet retired after the age of sixteen, and the emperor has not yet drawn up the actions of candidates, this is all because of his meticulous style, which makes people impeccable, then this time the theft of his medicine box can be regarded as an opportunity that some people in the Taiyi Bureau can grasp if they are interested in seeking promotion.

Although Yan Guang lost the medicine box, it didn't seem to have dealt a fatal blow to his work at the moment, but what those medical officers under him could find was this far-fetched condition.

It's just because the Yan family's incident is unbearable, just like what Shi Jing said at this moment, in this matter, if you want to make some articles, be careful, maybe you can do it.

If Yan Guang slowly equips his lost things, even this opportunity will be lost.

The servant had already returned to the flower hall with the tea he had made. Gently resting the teacup on the table by the hands of the old man and the third young master, the servant saw that the two masters were pondering, and did not dare to pestle in the flower hall to obstruct their eyes. Wisely, he retreated outside and stood by the door, so that he could respond to the master's orders at any time.

Shi Jing's words aroused many clues in the hearts of his third son.

In recent years, there has been a peaceful scene between the government and the opposition, there has been no war outside, and the border defense has been stable. The emperor has been doing things very carefully to restore the people's livelihood. The ministers of the various departments are also actively cooperating with the ability to contribute, but this does not seem to have much to do with the Privy Council.

Shi Xin stayed in the Privy Council, and he felt unusually idle.

In addition to the holidays provided by the job. Most of his daily work is to hold a court meeting every five days, standing in the main hall and listening to the deliberations between the ministers and the emperor - most of the affairs related to the people's livelihood and society, and it is difficult for him to say a word - other times. If Shi Xin needs to ask for leave, most of them can be approved on the same day. And it's easy to take a whole day off.

In extraordinary times, the work pressure of the Privy Council and the changes in the situation are extremely strong and complex, so leisure time is an alternative reward for this department by the emperor. Most of the ministers in other departments agreed with this.

But Shi Xin himself doesn't think so.

If there is nothing to do at work, he often thinks about the changes in the pattern of court officialdom on his own. He doesn't actually do anything because of his scrutiny, he just wants to rub his brain thinking with it. I don't want my judgment of the situation to become dull because of my long-term idleness.

For this habit and 'exercise' of the third son. Shi Jing's attitude is supportive. However, although Shi Jing mentioned the matter of the Yan family just now, he didn't think too much, his contemplation was because of another thing.

After all, he is a certain age person, and he has often worked late into the night recently, and Shi Jing has felt some symptoms of internal fire floating in his body. Taking a sip of sweet tea soup and moistening his somewhat dry throat, when Shi Jing put down the teacup, he slightly suppressed some of the emotions he had stirred up when he was contemplating just now, glanced at his son, who was especially contemplative, and asked casually: "Are you still thinking about the Yan family?" ”

Shi Xin nodded, and when he heard his father's question, he also collected his thoughts and picked up the teacup.

"Don't think about it." Shi Jing said three words lightly, and then he was speechless.

However, Shi Xin heard a hint of unfinished words from the three words his father said, but he didn't know why his father didn't continue to say the second half of the sentence...... Or did he give up mentioning it, as he said himself?

There is a slight difference between not being helpful in mentioning and abandoning mention.

After Shi Xin picked up the teacup on the table, he lifted the lid and blew the tea soup, but he hesitated for a moment and didn't drink it, then covered the lid and put the teacup back on the table.

Shi Jing, who was sitting opposite him, saw his move, his eyes moved, and said, "When I said goodbye to Cen Chi just now, I didn't see you so impetuous. ”

Shi Xin originally thought that his father's contemplation just now was also because of the Yan family's affairs, but when he looked at his father's eyes, he made some other discoveries.

According to the words, he put down his pondering about the affairs of the Yan family, Shi Xin was silent for a moment, and then hesitated: "Father is busy with affairs, and he also wants to take the time to come back, just to bid farewell to a doorman?" ”

"It's not that simple, Cen Chi is not a simple Qingke." The crow's feet at the corners of Shi Jing's eyes deepened slightly.

Just half an hour ago, the father and son sent Cen Chi away. And the reason why Cen Chi left this time was a little sudden, not because he was going to travel far away, it seemed that he was also forced to do so.

Shi Xin fell silent again.

If he didn't think about the affairs of the Yan family, he would feel troubled.

After all, the affairs of the Yan family are foreign affairs, but if Shi Xin calms down, he will unconsciously think about half of his own family's affairs. Regarding Cen Chi, there is a contradiction in Shi Xinxin.

Seeing that the expression on his son's face changed slightly, but he didn't speak, Shi Jing took a sip of tea slowly, and then said in a flat tone: "You will doubt him, that's normal." I doubt him too, but he is not the only one who doubts. ”

"Father is ......" Shi Xin's eyes moved, and he finally spoke.

"That's it." Shi Jing put down the teacup and said slowly: "San'er, even if the situation is really as you suspect, then what? The battle in that land will inevitably be a struggle between countries, and in this context, what can one or two people change if they are interspersed? Although the battle of the country is also the battle of people, Cen Chi is just a lonely person. ”

For a long time, in Shi Xin's impression, his father's attitude towards Cen Chi has never completely let go of doubts. But why. What his father said at this time seemed to be telling himself not to doubt Cen Chi?

Shi Xin thought that he had heard it wrong, and after staring at it, he felt that he didn't seem to have heard it wrong, but he just asserted it too quickly. After doubting for a moment, he calmed down and silently pondered his father's words.

Truly. Cen Chi has no fame. There are no soldiers, and now he is haunted by slowness, what can he do for a while? In the northwest, the mountains are high, the roads are dangerous, and there are many miasma. What can he do near a wild place?

The reason why the Prime Minister's Mansion took Cen Chi in was actually because his father understood the meaning of his mentorship.

After Shi Jing paused, he said to his third son: "If Cen Chi is really as you suspect. Isn't it exposed when we do it at this time? Take this risk for the sake of a thin man with no power and no soldiers. It's not worth it, if it's not available, it's better to discard it in time. ”

It's not the first time I've talked to my father like this, and when I talk about Cen Chi, every conversation atmosphere will have a time when it's unpleasant. Father doesn't put things too bluntly. Shi Xin knew this very well, and he also knew the trace of slaughter in his father's words at this time.

But he finally couldn't bear it and sighed. He whispered, "Do you really want to do this?" ”

Before talking about Cen Chi, Shi Jing had already expected it. Even if Shi Xin will not disobey him on the face of words. But if he really wants to be ruthless to Cen Chi, Shi will definitely hesitate in his confidence.

"This matter ......" his mood froze slightly, and Shi Jing opened his mouth with joy and anger: "There are still variables." ”

As soon as the word "variable" in these words fell, Shi Jing saw a little light in his son's eyes, but for no reason, he felt a trace of boredom in his own heart.

Shi Jing was very puzzled, and couldn't figure out how Cen Chi used to have such a big impact on his son.

Because he once served as Mr. Xixi of Xin'er? No, it was just Mr. Pseudonym, a false name, and in fact he taught Xin'er almost nothing.

Because he and Xin'er are crowned on the same day? No, no, it was originally his own kindness, but when the Prime Minister was holding a banquet because of Xin'er's crown ceremony, Cen Chi broke the jade crown in the garden, what kind of crown is it?

Or is it because of ...... That's it, the young man surnamed Cen doesn't live in the Prime Minister's Mansion at all. But it's strange to think about it, he doesn't stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion often, but it doesn't diminish Xin'er's importance for him in the slightest, if he lives here often, wouldn't it be ......

Could it be that the legendary North Fence School has even studied and condensed the science of mental art so terrifyingly?

Mind wandered to this point, Shi Jing did not continue to think about this issue, he sighed silently, and then said to Shi Xin: "Whether to stay or abandon, we all need to make a choice in the end, if we come to a fork in the road with him, my father hopes that you will not be indecisive." ”

Shi Xin nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

This time, after listening to his father's admonition, the look in his eyes did not make any waves, as if he had made a choice after his father's words just now.

He picked up the teacup again, lifted the lid, and before he could blow away the little foam that floated on the tea, he was about to take a full sip - he suddenly felt a little dry in his mouth, although he did not move his tongue or say a word as he listened to his father's words.

However, the teacup in his hand was slightly tilted, and before the tea soup touched his lips, he put down the teacup again.

It was only because he saw a woman walk in at the door.

At first glance, this woman was about forty years old. There are not too many deep wrinkles on her face, but there are many fine lines, and her skin seems to be a little dry and dull, which seems to be the result of her less work and less attention to decent maintenance.

The woman was dressed in splendid clothes, and her clothes were brightly embroidered, but she could not reflect her face with ruddy and spirit. Looking closely, except for the wrinkles on her face, her complexion is also very fair, but it is a kind of white caused by rare sunlight, and there is no healthy and vivid luster.

It is true that she rarely worries about the things in life and the things around her, because she is so capable of worrying that she must be deprived of the right to worry about it, lest her insanity affect others.

This woman should have the status of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion - of course, she still has such an identity, but she is only the legendary eldest lady in the servant's heart.

She's just a crazy woman who is carefully raised by the Prime Minister as the eldest lady, and to be precise, she should be a crazy woman who is closely confined in a small courtyard.

Among the few old servants left in the Prime Minister's Mansion, occasionally a few people privately recalled the past of this crazy woman, although after a few years, it still made people feel chills on their backs. This is something that people still can't help but fear after talking about it, and that is the madwoman when her own son was five years old. I almost strangled him with my own hands.

Generally speaking, if something happens in a high-ranking family, the responsibility will eventually be thrown to the last weak person to bear it, but it may not be to return the blame to the person who should be responsible. This can be regarded as a kind of law of competition derived from the human group, cold and inevitable.

Shi Fu has a crazy master, if not locked up. Let it be. I am afraid that the life of these servants will be extremely difficult in the future. Therefore, the servants are grateful for the decision of the prime minister.

What's more, the second son of Shi born to the eldest lady is also a little crazy now, and the mother and son can't contribute the slightest help to the Shi family. also added to the burden, but Master Shi still took care of their mother and son's worry-free life and did not abandon them.

In addition, Master Shi often asks Lang Zhong to see a doctor. For more than ten years, he has kept a belief in his heart to cure the eldest lady, and even this belief has passed through the war years when Zhou destroyed Zhaoli. This is undoubtedly a man's deep affection for him.

At this moment, seeing this wife who he hadn't visited for a long time in this flower hall, Shi Jing's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

I thought that if she was locked in that quiet garden, she would not be able to make any movement. She has been living like that peacefully. It may be that the chances of a complete recovery are still very slim, but perhaps she will no longer have the disease, as many people who have seen her say. It can prolong the life of a few years.

I never thought of it......

After the accident, Shi Jing was full of disbelief. He didn't believe that a person who was out of control could still have that kind of calculating and scheming power.

"Sit down." Shi Jing looked at the crazy woman and spoke softly.

Though his wife had done wrong, and that he had her summoned out of the garden to-day, it was to sort things out, and it was this matter that had been so troubled by which he had sat in the flower hall for a long time, but at this time he had not been angry with her.

Behind the eldest lady were two maids and three nurses.

The nurses did not enter the flower hall, but only stood sideways on both sides of the door like javelins, only looking at each other's eyes, not looking sideways into the flower hall at all. When it comes to Xiangye's family affairs, their perception is very sensitive and their attitude is very consistent: do their jobs well and be less nosy.

The two maids involved followed the eldest lady into the flower hall, and when they heard Master Shi's words, they hurriedly helped the eldest lady to sit down on a chair under Shi Jing's seat.

The third prince of the Shi family had already left his seat, walked up to the eldest lady and bowed deeply, and called softly: "Mother is fine." ”

The eldest lady is not Shi Xin's biological mother, but he still respects her enough. However, in a family with more than one wife and concubine, although there is only one word difference between the mother and the mother in the verbal title, the difference in the depth of affection is only clear to the person who called these two words.

From the moment she stepped into the flower hall with her front foot, the eldest lady's face was slightly sluggish, but after hearing the word "mother", she suddenly moved her shoulders and opened her eyes and said: "I know you, you are my son, you are disobedient, you should be beaten!" ”

This was the first thing she said after entering the flower hall, and her tone was obviously stiff and straight, and she was actually going to hit the child.

As soon as she finished saying the word "should be beaten", she suddenly stood up from the chair, grabbed Shi Xin's hand that was stretched out because of the gesture towards her, raised her slap and slapped it.

She still slapped Shi Xin like a mother catching a child who had made a mistake and slapping the child's palm.

This didn't hurt an adult, but the two maids standing behind the eldest lady were shocked. Seeing that they were not paying attention and did not hold down the eldest lady who suddenly stood up, which caused this later incident, they suddenly panicked, as if they were about to pull left and right.

Suddenly, Shi Xin shouted: "If I made a mistake, I should be punished, and I am willing to let my mother beat me." ”

The two maids were stunned, looked at Shi Xin, and subconsciously turned their gaze to look at Shi Jing in the upper seat.

Shi Jing's brows furrowed slightly. The situation in the flower hall took a sharp turn, but it had nothing to do with the family affairs that he was still sitting here at this time, and the little time he had squeezed out in his busy schedule of official duties was ready to clean up.

But he still didn't get angry, and after a while, he just said softly: "Alain, the child is wrong, I asked him to go to the study and think about it behind closed doors, don't be angry." ”

Shi Jing not only didn't get angry, but also called his wife's nickname in a soft voice.

Before they got married, he often called her like this, and in recent years he rarely called her that way anymore, but when he spoke again, this affectionate title was as simple as taking it out of a treasured box, and it was not unfamiliar.

When the eldest lady Mu Yulan heard this soft call, she seemed to have found part of her personality from her name, and she suddenly quieted down.

After no longer slapping Shi Xin's hand, Mu Yulan first looked sideways at her husband who was in the upper seat, and then she turned her face to look at Shi Xin standing in front of her again, and suddenly said happily: "My son has grown so big, but unfortunately he is not like me at all."
