On the first day of the first month, it is the first day, there are courtesy, there are lords and nobles and officials who have to enter the palace to congratulate, and women of more than three grades must also enter the palace. This is also why, when the sons of the Shen family passed last night, they first worshiped the reason for their early years.

Last night, when the sons of the Shen family dispersed for the New Year, the Xu family told them to eat for their own use. Shen Rui was not lazy and woke up early. Shen Zhu of Westinghouse slept soundly there, and there was no movement.

Because Wang Shouren was also going to enter the palace to congratulate, Shen Rui was not in a hurry to go out.

Hao's mother brought Dongxi, Liu Ya and others to Shen Rui to kowtow, and the two little maids Ruyi and Kou'er who were assigned here also followed, and Changshou and Liu Cheng also came over.

Starting from Hao's mother, all the servants and maids kowtowed to Shen Rui in turn.

Shen Rui is stained with the light of privilege and lives the life of a slave and maid, and he will not say anything about "everyone is equal", but for the elderly, how much more respect is there in the end, and he told Dongxi and Liu Ya to get up with Hao's mother.

The purse had been packed yesterday, and Shen Rui motioned for Dongxi to reward them one by one.

Shen Rui has always been generous to the people around him, and even Hao's mother, who is a little worried about Songjiang's children and grandchildren, is satisfied with the weight of her purse, and she only feels that it is not in vain to come back to Beijing. The two little maids were also happy, and they were assigned to the guest house to catch up with the New Year, thinking that Shen Rui was young, and eighty percent of them couldn't think of the New Year's reward, but they didn't expect to get it.

Everyone got up happily, no matter what happened to the rest of the Shen Mansion, there was some festive joy in this guest house.

"I heard that there are temple fairs all over the city, but this house should be busy in the past two days, we are not only guests, but also save some trouble. Wait until the fourth or fifth day of junior high school, see if you can ask for a carriage, and let your mother take you out of the city to go around. Shen Rui glanced at Hao's mother, and said to Dongxi and Liu Ya with a smile.

Dongxi's face was happy, and Liu Ya cheered.

Everyone has not been out of the house since they entered Beijing, Dongxi and Liu Ya are self-moving, Ruyi and Kou'er also have envy on their faces, Hao's mother flattered with a smile, but secretly paid attention to Shen Rui getting along with Dongxi and Liu Ya.

Shen Rui is already thirteen years old, and it is not too early to have people in the house at this time.

However, looking at Shen Rui's warm expression, it can be seen that the eyes of Dongxi and Liu Ya are not obscene, and Hao's mother can't help but sigh in her heart.

In his early years, he was a confidant of Zhang Lao'an, and the master and servant were the same enemy, and they did not speak ill of Sun behind their backs, but they could say with their conscience that Sun was a good person and never scolded his subordinates. In Hao's mother's opinion, Shen Ruixiao's mother looks cold and lonely, but she is really not bad to treat her subordinates, and her heart is still soft.

If Shen Rui really succeeded the second room, it would be much better than in Songjiang. It's just that I don't know if Lao An people will be really happy after their "wishes are fulfilled". It's just that the eldest brother over there is afraid that it will be difficult in the future, even if his homework is good, he will not be able to compare with the second brother in the future.

"Brother Rui is so lively here" The piercing male duck's voice sounded, and it was Shen Qin and Shen Bao who came together.

Shen Rui hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, and Hao's mother took the servants to see the two young masters, so she retreated, and Dongxi stayed to serve tea.

"I heard that the two of your uncles and eldest aunts will not come back until noon, and there will be nothing to do this morning, so we invited Brother Zhu Jiu and Second Brother Lin to go to where the third uncle is?" Shen Qin proposed with great interest.

Shen Rui pointed to the West House and said, "Brother Zhu Jiu came to talk to me last night, and then he stopped at the West House. ”

Shen Qin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "You have to be in the morning, why is the ninth brother still lying high?" Let's go over and see."

Shen Rui thought about the time, but he also noticed that something was wrong, so he got up and brought Shen Qin and Shen Bao over.

Shen Zhu was covered with a quilt, like a cicada chrysalis, but his face was flushed.

"Brother Jiu slept sweetly, how late did he sleep?" Shen Qin hummed lightly, with some hesitation on his face, it seemed that he was not sure whether he stepped forward to wake up Shen Zhu.

Shen Rui saw that something was wrong, took a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the kang, and reached out to try Shen Zhu's forehead, which was hot.

When Shen Qin and Shen Bao saw him move, they felt that something was wrong, and they all stepped forward.

Shen Rui hurriedly stopped: "Brother Jiu came over in the snow last night, it is estimated that the second brother has always been thin after blowing the night breeze and suffering from the cold qin, don't be sick."

This guy looks like he has a cold, who knows if he can't pass people.

Shen Zhu was already in a daze, Shen Rui called "Ninth Brother" twice, but he didn't see him open his eyes, only answered vaguely in his mouth: "Why are you still called Ninth Brother, Second Brother"

Shen Rui didn't react for a while, Shen Zhu had already grabbed Shen Rui's sleeve and sighed: "Mother, let's have another half dish of white sugar cake......

He usually held the clan brother's money in the school and pointed fingers at the clan brothers, and he didn't put his brother on the shelf of his brother all the way into Beijing, but now he is like a child, and he is shouting his mother and shouting cakes, Shen Rui, Shen Qin, and Shen Bao looked at each other, crying and laughing.

Shen Rui pulled his sleeves, but Shen Zhu grabbed it tightly, so he had to coax in a low voice: "Brother Jiu, let me go first, and let someone make cakes for you in a while...

Shen Rui let go of his hand and muttered: "If you stay in the capital in the future, you won't be able to eat white sugar cakes......

If the previous sentence "second brother" is still inexplicable, adding this sentence is the opposite scene.

The corners of Shen Rui's mouth twitched, and Shen Qin and Shen Bao looked at Shen Zhu who was in a daze, and their expressions were a little strange.

Needless to say, it's important to get a doctor right now.

Shen Rui came out with Shen Qin and Shen Bao, and immediately ordered someone to tell the housekeeper to ask for a doctor.

It stands to reason that even if the eldest master, the second master and the Xu family enter the palace, there are still three masters in the Shen Mansion. But the second wife and the third master are both sick, and only the third wife is a spiritual person. But if you want to alarm the third wife, you will inevitably alarm the third master. Although the snow outside has stopped, it is colder than yesterday, and the third master has been told by the eldest couple when he comes out, so don't trouble him about these things.

Shen Qin's expression gradually calmed down, only feeling that Shen Zhu was sick and talking about the heir in his sleep, which was ridiculous and pitiful, and he couldn't help but worry when he looked at the West House: "Why is Brother Jiu sick at this time?" Will it be okay? ”

Shen Rui couldn't be sure in his heart, thinking that although the earth dragon in the West House was also burning, it was as warm as the East House, and Shen Zhu's cold should not be a cold from sleep. As for when Shen Zhu came last night, he was also wrapped in a big coat, how much wind could he blow?

Thinking of this, Shen Rui's heart became a little steady.

Shen Rui's situation looks like a cold induced by the night wind, but the root is not the night wind, but the fatigue of more than a month.

Shen Zhu is a proud son of the third room, and this is enough for him to eat a pot even if he is in a hurry.

Shen Bao also thought of the fatigue on the road, and said: "It should be no big problem, Brother Jiu's spirit was too tight a while ago, and everyone was tired on the road, and now that an illness has been induced, it is also a good thing to recuperate for a few more days......

After a cup of tea, not only the housekeeper came in a hurry, but Zhou's mother also came in a hurry.

The housekeeper is okay, he got the quasi-letter, and it was Shen Zhu who knew that he was sick; Zhou's mother got a lot of news, and she thought it was Shen Rui who was sick.

Seeing that Shen Rui was doing well and figuring out that it was Shen Zhu who was sick, Zhou's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

It's not that she stammered Shen Rui and didn't look down on Shen Zhu, but because Shen Rui was older and his body was naturally stronger; In addition, Shen Rui is the heir chosen by the second room, if there is a mistake, how can several lords and wives stand it.

The housekeeper got the news, and did not immediately send someone to ask for a doctor, this New Year's New Year, the family is celebrating the New Year, the doctor is difficult to please, and it is also bad luck to invite the doctor to the door. He was afraid that Shen Rui was young and didn't know the severity of the road, and he would "make a fuss" when he saw that his brothers were not feeling well, so he came over to take a look

Seeing that Shen Zhu was really sick and had a bad fever, how could the housekeeper dare to delay, and immediately arranged for the carriage to go out to ask the doctor.

When the eldest master, the second master and the Xu family came back from the palace, the doctor had already come to diagnose Shen Zhu's pulse and give a prescription.

As soon as he returned home, a housekeeper told several masters and wives about Shen Zhu's illness.

The eldest couple and the second old man didn't even change their dresses, and went directly to the guest house.

Zhou's mother was here to take care of her, Shen Rui, Shen Qin, and Shen Bao were all there, and when they saw several old men and ladies coming, they all got up to greet each other.

Although Xu Shi wondered why Shen Zhu would rest here, now was not the time to ask this.

After listening to Zhou's mother's words, I knew that Shen Zhu was just tired from the previous hurry, and his body was weak, which attracted external evil into the body, and he only needed to use medicine to recuperate for a few days to replenish his vitality, and there was no big problem, and the Xu family, the eldest master, and the second master all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they are not close to the Songjiang clan, but the nephews of the clan are brought north by the Xu family, and they are here to choose an heir for the second house, if Shen Zhu really has a bad one, they will not be able to live in peace.

The second master had just been sick, and the eldest master was also a little weak, and the two brothers couldn't stand it for a long time, so Xu urged them to go back and change their clothes.

Xu stayed, looked at Shen Qin and Shen Baodao: "I know that you care about your clan brothers, but don't guard here, and carefully pass the illness." You are also older, you should know to cherish yourself, and don't let your elders worry about it. ”

Shen Qin and Shen Bao listened honestly and went back obediently.

Xu Shi looked at Shen Rui again, but hesitated.

According to her meaning, even if Shen Zhu is not able to move during his illness, Shen Rui should be moved out of the body. It's still living in one place, what if it's too sick? Shen Rui is much younger than Shen Zhu, and he has also traveled all the way.

But where should I go?

East Cross Courtyard Guest House? Or is it a cross-hospital main hospital? Or is it somewhere else?

The main courtyard was empty for a long time and could not be inhabited for a while, and it was the same elsewhere, where the guest courtyard of the east courtyard was empty, the house where Shen Quan lived before was empty.

Although Shen Quan went to live at her brother's house, she was also a little guest she invited to Beijing, and now she even has to occupy the house, as if she is picking up people.

Shen Rui could think of the cold infection blocking Shen Qin and Shen Bao, how could he not guess Xu's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, my nephew has nothing to do here, what about the east and west houses here......"

Xu Shi frowned when he heard this, and he was still a little uneasy: "Why don't Brother Rui move to the inner study for a few days first?" ”

Shen Rui had been to Xu's upper room, and he knew that the so-called "inner study" was the east wing of the main courtyard, so wouldn't it be under the noses of the eldest master and the Xu family?

Shen Rui hurriedly said: "Uncle, this doesn't have to be troublesome...... Otherwise, when the sixth brother and a few clan brothers come over today, I will follow them to disturb them for two days

Xu thought that Shen Rui's filial piety had been taken care of by Shen Li for the past few years, and Shen Li had planned to pick up Shen Rui years ago, so he nodded and said, "I heard that you are close, and it is good ......to recognize the door in the past."
