024 Inside and outside, think hard
"Third girl, you opened the door, the slave knew that she was wrong, and she wanted to pick you up earlier." Qiu Rui knocked on the door outside, and it was hard for such a taciturn person to say so many words in one breath.
Shen Ruchu opened the door, let Qiu Rui in, and said, "From Ming'er, you will go to the hospital to pick me up before sunset." I'll tell my grandfather to divide some of your work. ”
Originally, Shen Yunzhong also sent Qiu Rui to accompany Shen Ruchu to the medical hall, but Shen Ruchu refused, thinking that he was going to be an apprentice, not a daughter, so he would not take a maid to study medicine, but there was a suspicion of arrogance.
Thinking of the previous scene, Shen Ruchu had palpitations.
Qiu Rui said: "I know it, three girls." She didn't dare to ask, Shen Ruchu was now more and more thoughtful, and more and more capable, but it was not her turn to worry.
However, looking at Shen Ruchu's face, he knew that something big must have happened, and he pondered back and forth in his heart.
"Is the third sister here? But the third sister is back? Shen Zhiyuan's voice sounded outside.
Qiu Rui glanced at Shen Ruchu, Shen Ruchu motioned for her to open the door, and she calmed down.
"The third sister came back really late today, which made me worry about my mother and grandfather for a while." Shen Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Shen Ruchu also laughed, and said, "Grandpa Lao, uncle, and sister are concerned." There are a lot of things going on in the hospital today, so I'm coming back late, is there something wrong with my sister? ”
Even if there is something, there is never a good thing, but no matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, Shen Ruchu has always been a soldier to block the water and cover the earth.
Shen Zhiyuan looked at Shen Ruchu, her face was a little unnatural, and she said: "It's nothing, just come and see my sister, so that I can follow my sister and learn some medical skills, I don't expect to treat diseases and save people, and I can diagnose and treat myself in the future, and have a precaution." ”
Shen Ruchu sneered in his heart, this Shen Zhiyuan is smarter than the Gao family, and his ability to adapt to changes should not be underestimated.
"My sister is so young, and she is a lucky star, her life is naturally smooth, healthy and wealthy, where do you still need to learn medical skills." Shen Ruchu said with a smile, "I'm a little tired this time, from the East City to the West City, I didn't meet a single figure along the way, and I was in a bit of a hurry." ”
If those three people were really bought by Gao's mother and daughter, then throw a bait and let them eat dogs!
Shen Zhiyuan's face was unnatural, and she said, "This road is quite prosperous, why is there no one?" ”
Shen Ruchu smiled: "Oh, it's not nothing, it's just some shops that sell supper, and I also ate a bowl of wontons by the way, it's really fragrant!" ”
"My sister is tired, so my sister rested earlier." Shen Zhiyuan fled and seemed to leave.
Watching her leave, Shen Ruchu sneered: Fight with me, you are still tender!
Qiu Rui said: "Girl, the slave maid always thinks that the fourth girl is a little weird. She thought for a moment and used the word "eccentric."
Shen Ruchu smiled: "You just have a good idea in your heart." After speaking, he reassured Qiu Rui for a while.
She waited for the Gao mother and daughter to show their fox tails, if they want to be good hunters, they must be calm! If she is bullied, she will return it, she is not a generous and good person, she will repay her, that is her style!
The next period of time was also comfortable, at least Shen Yanfei supported him, and no one mentioned the bastard matter of marrying the Ma family, hearing that the Ma family wanted to accept Shen Ruchu as a concubine, Shen Yanfei reacted very fiercely, and immediately kicked a table and shouted: "My sister's family affairs, I have the final say, and I am not allowed to mention the bird matter of being a concubine!" ”
Who would dare to mention it!
Who can provoke Shen Yanfei's fiery temper? What's more, the current household is all from him, who dares to offend this pillar?
Shen Ruchu thought that this matter of taking a concubine would be over, but what happened next made her realize what it meant to be in trouble, and she blamed herself for being too light on the enemy!
Ma Wenjun no longer pretended to meet in front of Shen Ruchu, but he found an opportunity to get close to the people in the medical hall, and even invited Gong Yunfeng to drink repeatedly, but was politely excused by Gong Yunfeng.
Treating the Shen family, the Ma family has adopted a superb policy of gentleness.
Needless to say, the Gao side continued to benefit, and the few silk horses alone were the finest materials, as well as the incense wafting from the courtyard; Shen Zhiyuan's rouge gouache.
In addition to Qiu Rui, several old servants of the Shen family also followed, except for Huang Laosan, who had a broken arm, these people always flattered Shen Ruchu intentionally or unintentionally, and then took the opportunity to shift the topic to the gentleman of the Ma family, which made Shen Ruchu very annoyed.
Then the second cousin Shen Mengfei, under the recommendation of Ma Fu, found a clever job in the military camp, taking care of supplies, grain and grass, not having to go to the front line to fight, and eating some kickbacks and making some oil and water; In addition, the Gao family talked to him all day about the bride price of Yang Yuan's family, if Shen Ruchu was willing to marry into the Ma family, this bride price would naturally not be worried.
came and went, Shen Mengfei, who was originally strongly opposed to Shen Ruchu being a concubine, also moved his mind and began to beat the side drum to lobby Shen Ruchu, but he never blatantly let his cousin marry into the Ma family, only said how the Ma family was rich, how Marshal Ma was favored, and how Ma Wenjun was popular in the army.
Shen Ruchu smiled playfully and said, "Second brother, since the Ma family is so powerful, Ma Wenjun is so good, and the fourth sister is no worse than me, how can you not let the fourth sister enjoy happiness?" ”
Shen Yanfei walked away in a huff.
What gave Shen Ruchu the most headache was that even Old Man Shen began to be moved.
It turned out that the Liu family personally gave Shen Yunzhong a promise, saying that as long as the two families got married, they would remove the military registration for the Shen family - this is almost a dream of the military family.
Born in a military family is no choice, the fate of military children is also difficult to be changed, unless the emperor decrees to remove the military status, or get the military merit and knighthood, automatically remove the military status, otherwise generations of military households, there is no way to pardon, as long as there is a war, the first thing is to select strong men from the military family to fight in the army.
That is, if you fight in the army, there will be casualties, the father dies and the son succeeds, the brother dies and the brother continues, and the cycle continues.
Shen Yunzhong has suffered the pain of losing his son one after another, and he values humanity the most, and now he still has two grandsons, if he can eliminate the identity of the military household, Shen Mengfei and Shen Yanfei will not have to go into battle to fight, and the Shen family will keep their lifeline and continue.
"Good boy, grandpa knows that he has wronged you by doing this, but I am old, and I can no longer withstand the pain of my family's death and injury, and I don't seek glory and wealth, but I only want the family to be safe and secure in my lifetime. If you are willing to marry Ma Gongzi, our Shen family will not have to serve in the army for generations, but it is a way to live. Shen Yunzhong said earnestly.
Shen Ruchu was a little flustered, now it is an internal and external attack, the Ma family is pressing step by step, and the family members have also defected, even Shen Yunzhong, who loves him the most, thinks about her marrying her, she is really an enemy on her back, how is it good!
