In the blink of an eye, Shen Mo had been home for a few days, and as soon as he came back, Shen He fell ill, saying that he was weak and coughing, and the doctor he invited said that this was 'the disease of broken heart, fear and worry', mainly because of something that was overly sad, resulting in disconnected qi and weakness, so there would be this symptom.

Shen He was frightened when he heard this, and asked the doctor to prescribe the best prescription and take the most expensive medicine. The doctor was not polite, and prescribed a prescription of five coins and a pair of silver, and asked Shen Mo to take the medicine according to the prescription, saying that one pair each morning and evening would be cured after taking it for a month.

Shen Mo was really taken aback when he heard so much money. He is well-read, naturally read the "Difficult Scripture", "Neijing", "Qianjin Fang", although he will not see a doctor, but it can also be called "rough medical science", in his opinion, the old man is outside for a day and a night, coupled with great joy and sorrow, emotional ups and downs, the body's immunity decreases, and is caught by the wind and cold, which is commonly known as a cold.

He twisted the prescription and sneered: "It's better to ask the doctor from Jirentang to come for another consultation." ”

The doctor became nervous and looked straight at Shen He. I saw Master Shen crooked on the bed, coughing and scolding: "Why is it so expensive? Isn't it okay to be cheaper? ”

The doctor said with a smile: "Shen Ye's disease is not big, but it is easy to fall into the roots, if you don't use the best medicinal materials, no matter how good you take care of it, you will commit it once a year in the future, then you should suffer a lot." "For some reason, he bit the words 'good life care' very hard.

Seeing that Shen Mo was still about to speak, Shen He said angrily: "Your father and I rarely get sick, just let me spend two!" ”

Dad said so, Shen Mo had no choice but to hold back the doubts in his stomach, stretched out his neck and was slaughtered with a knife, and asked Shen An to follow the doctor back to grab the medicine.

As soon as the two of them left, Shen Mo also got up and walked out, Shen He couldn't help but ask nervously, "Where are you going?" ”

Shen Mo said to go to Xu Weina. Shen He's face turned pale and said, "Do you still want to leave?" As he spoke, he coughed vigorously and said, "I'm about to cough out the lobes of my lungs, can't you stop leaving?" The maid Chunhua hurriedly came up to stroke her father's back.

Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "I have to get my luggage back, right?" ”

Shen Hedeng was overjoyed, his body seemed to heal immediately, and he waved his hand vigorously: "You go and return quickly." ”

Shen Mo looked at him suspiciously, and Shen He immediately coughed violently again.

Shen Mo has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and his heart is already like a mirror, so he shook his head helplessly, and instructed Chunhua to say: "You rub the master's back, but don't really cough up the lobes of your lungs." Chunhua stuck out her tongue and whispered to come down.

After Shen Mo walked out, Shen He motioned for Chunhua to go out and have a look, and after confirming that the kid had left the yard, his coughing stopped abruptly, pointing to the honey water on the table and said, "My throat is about to cough and smoke." ”

Chunhua hurriedly brought water to the old man. Shen He drank a bowl of water, wiped his mouth and said, "How is it?" Your lord can go to the social drama, right? ”

Chunhua covered her mouth and smiled: "The slave maid feels that the young master can see it accurately, but she just doesn't demolish the master." ”

Shen Horton was bored and said, "What can you see?" I'm his son, and when I say I'm sick, I'm sick. Saying that, he scolded in a low voice: "This stinky boy, I have to let my father learn Sima Yi to pretend to be sick before he is willing to come back!" ”

Shen Mo has already guessed his father's little trick, a piece of fatherly love, how could he expose it incomprehensibly? Besides, it's actually very uncomfortable for him to float outside, just off the donkey, the best of both worlds.

Walking from the backyard to the front yard, Shen Mo did not go to the main entrance, but climbed the ladder in front of the south wall to the wall of the neighbor's yard, and then followed the ladder on the opposite side to climb to the courtyard of the house.

The neighbor was a wealthy family, and the family was sitting around the courtyard to eat, and it was not surprising to see Shen Mo come in, and warmly beckoned him to sit down and eat.

Shen Mo touched his little grandson's head, and said with a smile: "I'm causing you trouble again." ”

The old man smiled understandingly: "Shen Xianggong has seen the outside?" People say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they are not troublesome. ”

Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I really can't imagine that there will be a day when someone is blocked at the door and has to climb the wall to get out." After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Keep eating, I'll go." So he took a hat and pushed the door out of the backyard.

Looking at his departing back, the little grandson of the family said with infinite envy: "Grandpa, if someone rushes to invite me to dinner at the door, I will not hide." ”

The daughter-in-law also said enviously: "There are so many gifts, why doesn't Shen Xianggong let people enter the door?" Even if you don't let you in, it's good to leave a gift. ”

The son also said enviously: "There are so many matchmakers who say they are married, why don't you see them?" It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

The father in charge sneered: "What do a bunch of fools know? Shen Sanye and Shen Xianggong are people who understand, and people know that half of these people are greedy for the fame of Shen Xianggong's high school 'Little Sanyuan', and half of them are taking the opportunity to bribe Shen Sanye, how can there be nothing in the world to be courteous? If you have something, you must ask for something! He sighed and said: "And I have just died in Shaoxing, and when I am mourning in the city, it is obviously out of place if Shen Xianggong's house is like a city." ”

"It's a pity......, it's a pity," the family shook their heads and sighed, eighty percent of them didn't understand.

Shen Mo sneaked out of the neighbor's house, found a canopy boat, and went to Shanyin, along the way I saw several families hanging out white flags and erecting the mourning hall, and the old brother who supported the boat also kept sighing, saying that it was too miserable, too miserable.

When he arrived in the Mahayana alley, Shen Mo actually saw the white banner of the Lingtang at the door of Xu Wei's house, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said that this guy was alone, didn't he see him for half a month, and the Lord of Yama took this talented man to relieve his boredom?

Three steps and two steps, rushed to Xu Wei's house, and saw a spiritual shed in the courtyard, and Xu Wei was wearing a plain white sacrificial robe, sitting on the ground with his back to him and burning paper.

Shen Mo was a little relieved, and when he saw the couplets hanging in black on a white background on both sides of the mourning shed, he couldn't help but whisper the couplet: 'I am surprised to be self-defeating, and the name of a martyr is born. Then recite the following couplet: 'There is no point in life, and there is nothing to love after death......

Before the words fell, I listened to Xu Weiqi's voice and continued: "Powder should become blue, and the spirit is cold." Try to see the bridge on the moon, a few nights under the waves......"

Shen Mo walked over, squatted beside him and whispered, "Brother, who are you paying tribute to?" ”

Xu Wei didn't look at him either, and while concentrating on burning paper, he said softly: "Lanting Yan Laoweng's daughter." ”

Shen Mo was surprised: "It's the one you went on a blind date?" ”

Xu Wei nodded, and said astringently: "At the beginning of this month, Yan Weng took his two daughters to Hangzhou Province, and returned before that, unfortunately he took the Yin family merchant ship and was attacked by the Japanese invaders...... His eldest daughter is the one who is willing to marry Xu Wei......"

After finishing speaking, he beat his chest and cried loudly, and his heart-rending degree was as much as if he had lost his wife...... In fact, he is completely mourning the young lady with the specifications of his deceased wife.

Silently listened to the self-reproach in his words, so he persuaded softly: "Brother Wen, you have never met with that Yan girl, and you have never made a decision, how can you say that the responsibility lies with you?" ”

Xu Wei cried and said: "When the time comes, if you succeed, you will be able to avoid ......" His logic is that if this family affair is decided at that time, the eldest daughter of the Yan family will have to be married at home, and she will not go out again, and she will not meet the widows, and she will not commit suicide to protect her name. I only heard him say very seriously: "So the responsibility for Miss Yan's death lies with Xu Wei, which is why I neither sacrifice Yan Weng nor Second Miss Yan, but only her." ”

Shen silently, accompanied this loyal amorous seed to burn the paper for a while, looking at the green smoke rising from the curls, he suddenly sighed and said, "Brother Wen, I'm not as good as you!" ”

In order to pay tribute to the Yan daughter, Xu Wei poured everything he had, and borrowed two taels of silver, and of course this hole was filled by Shen Mo.

Seeing that he was still crying bitterly, Shen Mo took the IOU and went out to pay him back. After coming back, Xu Wei stopped crying and was sitting at the table in a daze.

Shen Mo took out two taels of silver, put it on the table and said, "Spend this money first, and I'll send you some in two days." ”

Xu Wei swollen his eyes and said: "Although friends have the friendship of wealth, I am embarrassed to take advantage of you." ”

"It's all up to you!" Shen Mo smiled and scolded: "Who made us friends." Then he pointed to the east chamber and said: "My old man is sick, crying and shouting for me to go back, so I have to roll up the cover back first." ”

Xu Wei said reluctantly: "When I saw you, I thought that the person in charge of the meal had returned, but who knew that even the restaurant moved away." ”

Shen Mo laughed and said, "It's just a few more steps, you are welcome to eat at any time, even if you stay for a long time." ”

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Don't bother." Then he pulled Shen Mo to sit down in the patio and said: "Tell me about the beginning and end of the use of troops in Huarentan, I have long wanted to ask you, but I have been busy with the funeral these days, and I can't take care of it." ”

Shen Mo nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I was looking for you to take a closer look at it and see where the root of the disease is." He told Xu Wei about the various situations that happened after Yu Dayou led the army to Huaren Beach, and sighed at the end: "Three thousand Ming soldiers with bird-held bows and arrows were chased by more than 200 Japanese soldiers, it is really unbelievable!" ”

Xu Wei said with a solemn face: "This is not unusual, it has become a public opinion that the Japanese can defeat the official army with one enemy and ten. ”

"Why?" Shen sighed silently: "I've been thinking a lot about it these days, and now I want to hear your opinion." ”

"Putting aside the flies and dogs in the imperial court, I think there are three reasons for the combat effectiveness of the army alone." Xu Wei said in a deep voice: "One of them is to use literature to control martial arts; the second is the maladministration of the guard; Third, the source of troops is not good. ”
