Chapter 052: Something Different
Xu fell ill, and as the nominal eldest daughter, Shen Tianshu naturally had to go to the bedside to serve the sick.
When Shen Tianshu heard the news and came to the courtyard of the main house, he found that Shen Yunyao had been lifted from the grounding and was accompanying the Xu family at this time.
Ping Niang walked around inside and out, twisting the handkerchief for a while, and dialing the charcoal basin for a while, so she was not busy.
"Mother." Shen Tianshu took advantage of the opportunity to take a closer look at Xu's face, "I heard that my mother was sick, so I hurried over, what did the doctor say?" Can you prescribe medication? ”
didn't wait for Xu to speak, but listened to Shen Yunyao say: "Thank you eldest sister for your concern, the doctor said that my mother just occasionally felt cold, take a few medicines, and it will be fine if you rest for a few days." ”
Although it was just a normal conversation, Shen Tianshu sensed that Shen Yunyao seemed to be different from before.
Xu Shi leaned on the pillow, with a cool handkerchief on his forehead, his face was a little unnaturally flushed, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You said that my body is so uncompromising, and I am about to enter the wax moon, and I don't know how many things to be busy with inside and out, but I fell ill in bed, and I was really anxious to think about it." ”
Shen Tianshu said: "Mother works hard for the family all day long, maybe it is because of such hard work that the wind and cold can invade." Mother just had to rest and do whatever she told us to do. ”
Originally, she just followed Xu's words, and did not specifically refer to anything.
But in Xu's ears, it seemed that Shen Tianshu wanted to snatch the right to be in charge of the family with her.
Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's not necessary, you children's families can't do these trivial things at home." Fortunately, I have already done it over the years, and the people below are also doing things, so I just need to move my mouth.
"Now that the year is at the root, all the places have begun to feast on the ladies and girls of various families, and three days later, Jiang Tongzhi's wife Huang has set up a banquet, and the invitations have been sent to the house. I definitely won't be able to go like this, and the three of you sisters will be ready to go back and go to the banquet together when the time comes. ”
Xu Shi said and specially instructed Shen Tianshu: "I can't go with me this time, Tianshu, you are the eldest sister, you have to take your two younger sisters with you, restrain their words and deeds, and never give our Shen family a shame to your father, you know?" ”
"Mother, don't worry, I will take my sisters well."
Shen Tianshu said this, but his eyes swept over Shen Yunyao, who looked inexplicably a little gloomy, and then looked at Shen Yunhui, who was standing at the end of the bed, eager to melt himself into the shadows, and inexplicably felt that there was no good banquet.
At the banquet three days later, I am afraid that I will have to work hard to cheer up.
After sending Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui away, Xu told Shen Yunyao separately: "Jiang Tongzhi is new to his post this year, this is the first banquet for his wife, you must be good at that time, and you are not allowed to be willful."
"Although Jiang Tongzhi works under your father, the Jiang family is a famous family that has been hairpins for generations, and has in-laws with many large families, if you lose face at the Jiang family's banquet, it will be spread that even the capital knows about it before ......the New Year."
Xu Shi still had a fever at this time, and he was sleepy after drinking the medicine, and he said something almost meaningful for a long time, but he never heard Shen Yunyao's response.
"What do you want? Do you hear me? Xu asked with a slight increase in his voice.
Shen Yunyao was suddenly awakened from her thoughts, and said very skillfully and perfunctorily: "Mother, you have said it several times, can I still remember?" Don't worry about it, it's only serious to get better as soon as you get better. How old am I, and can I still not know the truth that family ugliness is not publicized? I had an awkward fight with Shen Tianshu outside, no matter who had the upper hand, it was our Shen family's face that I lost, why did I bother to come. ”
Only then did Xu Shi put his mind at ease, reached out and touched Shen Yunyao's cheek and said, "This is my mother's good girl." ”
Shen Yunyao had the Xu family plan for her, and Shen Tianshu wanted to know the situation of the Jiang family, but had to let Mingyu go out to inquire.
Fortunately, Master Jiang came to take office in the middle of this year, and it has been more than four months, and many situations have long been figured out by the people in Yongzhou Mansion.
This Tongzhi adult's surname is Jiang, with a single name and a Hong character, and he was born in the Jiang family of Jeju Prefecture.
The Jiang family is different from the upstart of this dynasty like the Shen family, it is a noble family with a good family, and the family of the princes of many generations is quite influential in terms of financial resources, manpower, and other families and the imperial court.
Although Jiang Hong is only the heir of the side branch of the Jiang family, the relationship with the branch is relatively close, and this time he can come to Yongzhou Mansion to make up for the lack of Tongzhi, and naturally the Jiang family will have to contribute behind the scenes.
Jiang Hong's situation is a big question, but Jiang Hong's wife Huang has been living in seclusion since she arrived in Yongzhou Mansion, and few people know about her situation.
Although Shen Tianshu didn't hear the news of the host of the banquet, Huang Shi, Jiang Hong's background and background had already told her very clearly that this banquet must not go wrong, and she must keep an eye on Shen Yunyao and Shen Yunhui.
Especially Shen Yunyao, she is very different today, maybe she is holding back.
Shen Tianshu was thinking about how to restrain Shen Yunyao with one move in case something happened, and at the same time habitually reached out to touch his wrist.
It took me a moment to remember that the gold needle that I had hidden in the bracelet since I was a child and never left my body should have entered the earth with my body.
And the reason why she was called a miracle doctor back then, and was even named the only county lord without royal blood by the emperor, was precisely because she completely inherited the Jiang family's golden needle created by her grandfather, and there was also a faint trend of being better than blue.
At the beginning, he was halfway up the mountain, and was forced by Xu and Xu Yihao to have no way out, so he had to stab Xu Yihao with a hairpin.
If she had the golden needle in her hand at that time, she could even let Xu Yihao not lift it without a trace.
"Mingyu, ask someone to prepare the car tomorrow, I want to go out." Thinking of the golden needle that had been with him for more than ten years, Shen Tianshu couldn't sit still, and wanted to make a new one to carry with him before going to the banquet, in case of emergency.
Hearing this, Mama Yang couldn't help but dissuade her: "Girl, although Xu is not a good person, but in the end it is your nominal mother, Xu is sick in bed, the girl is not in front of the bed to serve the sick, and she has to go out, if she is seen by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will damage the girl's reputation." ”
"Then tomorrow I will go out to buy some things and come back to honor my mother." Shen Tianshu waved his hand, signaling that Mama Yang didn't need to persuade again.
Although she is very sure of Mama Yang's loyalty to the original owner, she is not the original owner after all, she has her own reasons for doing things, and it is impossible to be a thoughtless puppet sandwiched between Xu and Mama Yang as before.
