Chapter 23: Why is it different from the previous life?
Zi Su returned to the Shen family.
When he saw Shen Mingzhen, he threw himself on her and cried.
Finally stabilized the perilla, Shen Mingzhen took her pulse when she was asleep. Shiso's body is fine, but his leg will not be better because he was not treated in time.
Shen Mingzhen sighed and looked at the maids in the room: "You are not allowed to reveal anything about Zisu, otherwise, I will betray you." ”
The maid said yes.
But the news of Shiso was still spread.
It was passed on from Shen Mingzhu.
"Do you know that the shiso in the big sister's room was sold to the kiln, and the big sister even brought back this shameless slut.
The big sister is so good to Shisu, it won't be to learn how to charm men like Shisu. “
Shen Mingzhu's words quickly swept the Shen family.
All kinds of rumors are full of rumors, but I am afraid that the matter will not be big enough.
Zi Su lay on the bed, drank the medicine, and smiled at Shen Mingzhen: "Miss, I'm much better, you don't have to guard me every day." You should still go and see Mrs. Sun and the shop.
You are so good to me, I can't help it.
Don't make me feel uncomfortable, okay? “
Shisodao's tone was soft and glutinous, mixed with infinite sadness.
Shen Mingzhen knew what she meant, she was afraid that she would not be able to do anything and become a waste person who could only be taken care of.
I listened to her.
She touched Shiso's head: "Then you lie down obediently."
I asked you to prepare your favorite roast duck and cloud cake, and eat a little when you are hungry.
I'll go to my mother's place to see my mother and brother, and come back in the evening to have dinner with you. “
Shiso snorted.
hugged Shen Mingzhen with tears and didn't let go. After a while, he wiped away his tears: "Miss, go quickly, don't let Mrs. Sun wait." ”
The gossip had reached Mrs. Sun's courtyard.
Shen Mingzhen went over, she sandwiched a piece of roast beef for her daughter, watched her eat it, and then said to her the right thing: "What these people say is getting worse and worse."
Some people even said this morning that the perilla was sold into the kiln of its own free will, which was really excessive.
This girl's reputation has been ruined, and it is no longer suitable to put her in the mansion.
When my mother was young, she had a best friend, and now she is an official wife in Chengzhong Town. It's better to send the shiso there. “
Should you leave Zisu in the Shen family anymore.
Shen Mingzhen thought about it and agreed.
"Shisu's injury is still a little serious now, I'll feed her a few more days of medicine and send her away."
Mrs. Sun looked at her daughter's thin face and sandwiched another piece of meat for her: "That's fine." ”
When Shen Mingzhen returned to the courtyard, she deliberately took a few pieces of meat from her mother's room and gave them to Shiso.
She was thinking about how to tell Zisu about it when she saw the maid hurrying over.
The maid looked at her: "Not long after you went out, Sister Zisu said that she wanted to take a bath."
We carried a bucket of water to the perilla house.
I was thinking of finding someone to go in to help her, but Sister Shisu wouldn't let people in anyway.
We waited outside for an hour, and we were really afraid that something would happen and someone would break the door, only to find out that she had cut her wrist ...... Shiso."
Blood was spilled all over the ground.
Someone had already bandaged the perilla, but he still couldn't hold back the blood flowing out.
Shen Mingzhen went in, removed the strap, took a needle and thread and wanted to sew the wound on Zisu, but the other party stopped her.
Zi Su was weak and bored: "Miss, the slave really doesn't want to live......
Every time she closed her eyes, the slave and maid could think of the way those dirty hands touched the slave's body, and the slave felt disgusted.
Let the slave go, this is the slave's wish. “
Shen Mingzhen's tears flowed.
She held Shiso's hand and helped her press the wound and refused to let go.
Zi Su looked at her affectionately, and laboriously helped her wipe away the tears on her eyes: "Miss, after the slave and maid die, bury the slave and maid in the Shen family manor." The slave maid wants to still guard the young lady after death.
The slave maid is a ghost, and she will also bless the young lady with a safe and smooth life. “
Her hand fell.
Shen Mingzhen lay on the head of Zisu's bed and screamed hoarsely, looking at Zisu's sleeping face, drying her body, changing her clothes, and combing Shisu's favorite double-ring bun.
"Go buy a good coffin and get the perilla dirty."
According to the rules of the big family, when the maid dies, the master cannot go to the coffin to mourn.
Shen Mingzhen brought white hibiscus flowers and burned a lot of paper for perilla in a copper basin.
"You can go.
I'll avenge you. “
Shen Mingzhen went to the old lady's room: "Grandmother, have you found the husband you found for Shen Mingzhu?" ”
The old lady nodded, and took out a booklet for Shen Mingzhen to read: "They are all young talents, although there are more concubines, but their character is good, and she is not wronged by marrying her." ”
The old lady didn't want to see Shen Mingzhu, but she didn't think about pushing her into the fire pit.
She pointed to a little brother in the booklet: "This is the concubine of the five-grade official in the capital, shouting for Changxun." has a good talent, and he is also a good person, which is very suitable for Shen Mingzhu. ”
Shen Mingzhen nodded, returned to the courtyard, and asked his subordinates to spread out the news that Shen Mingzhu was going to marry Yan Changxun.
sent another maid who had just been bought to secretly go to Shen Mingzhu to spread the word.
The maid was very clever: "Miss Mingzhu, the slave maid was originally working in the hustle and bustle, but because it was a living contract, she changed her family to do things."
Huan Changxun is the fourth son of the Huan family, he is very handsome, and his talent is not bad.
If you want to meet, the slave can match you up. “
Shen Mingzhu nodded.
Before getting married, she always has to see what her future husband is like.
The maid nodded: "There will be a Kyoto flower viewing party the day after tomorrow, and the slave will invite the arrogant boy over." ”
Shen Mingzhu hummed and rewarded her with a piece of broken silver.
When Shen Mingzhen was communicating with Shen Mingzhu, she inquired about the Huan family.
The family has a total of four sons, the eldest son and the second son have all started a family, only the third and fourth have not yet started a family.
The third man Changzhi is a prodigal, he is young and does not study well, he marries a three-room concubine, not to mention, he drills into the flower kiln all day long, and his reputation in the capital is stinky.
The fourth child is okay, a righteous gentleman, and a dignified appearance.
Shen Mingzhen had an idea and called the maid: "You will invite the third prince to come over the day after tomorrow, and say that there will be a rare beauty in the flower appreciation, please be sure to be there." ”
The maid said yes.
This maid was really bought by Shen Mingzhen from the Huan family.
The maid used to serve in front of the old lady and knew a lot about the family.
In the blink of an eye, the cherry blossom viewing party has arrived.
The cherry blossom viewing party is held in the other village of the Lord of the Rite Department in the capital. There are not only many famous flowers and plants planted in it, but also many rare trees, which grow on the earth.
The scenery here is very good, and people can taste a fragrance before they have even walked past.
Shen Mingzhen arrived early and occupied a lounge.
When Shen Mingzhu arrived, she asked the maid to invite Shen Mingzhu to the lounge.
In the lounge, the tea and pastries prepared by Shen Mingzhen were arranged.
The maid greeted Shen Mingzhu and brought the herbal tea on the table to her: "This is the flower tea made by the slave maid in advance, and it is made with the flowers in the Zhuangzi of the Ministry of Rites." This kind of thing is a flower in the south, and it tastes unique, so why don't you taste it? Shen Mingzhu drank it all.
After eating a piece of pastry on the table, she was a little groggy, and she looked at the maid: "Why hasn't the fourth son of the Huan family come yet?"
Why am I so dizzy? “
"Isn't Miss suffering from heat stroke?" The maid looked at the girl beside Shen Mingzhu and took her hand: "Come with me to ask for some medicine to cure the heat......
"But our lady ...... here."
"That hustle boy is a talent, miss this village and don't have this shop, you are hesitating, Miss can't cure the heat, how can you want to see it with the fourth son of the hustle family?"
The girl no longer hesitated and walked out together.
The maid bought by Shen Mingzhen sent Shen Mingzhu's maid to a remote place to ask for medicine, and casually deceived the third son of the Huan family.
"This is the second miss of the Shen family.
The Shen family is powerful, son, you are looking for flowers and willows every day, and you have to have silver.
If you marry the second miss, not only do you have the right, but you can also use Miss Shen's dowry to marry the flower girl you fancied a few days ago and enter the mansion, why not? “
"But how can I marry her?"
The maid patted him on the head: "Isn't it okay for you to sleep with her?"
Raw rice is cooked and cooked, what else can Miss Shen Er do besides agreeing?
Don't worry, Childe, I'll stand not far away to let you out.
The terrain here is remote, and ordinary young ladies and sons will not come here. “
The third son of the Huan family was already lustful, and after listening to the encouragement of the maid, he was even more eager to try.
"You go out and let Ben Gongzi taste her first."
The maid withdrew and found Shen Mingzhen waiting on the side: "Miss, what should we do now?" ”
Shen Mingzhen glanced at her: "If you go to call someone, you will say that the second miss of the Shen family is gone, and call everyone to go with you to find it." ”
When the maid beckoned everyone to "find" this remote lounge, the third son didn't even wear clothes, and lay on the ground with Shen Mingzhu in his arms, and the two of them were entangled together like glue.
The maid pushed open the door and made a loud noise, attracting everyone to it.
Everyone looked at the fragrant scene in the house, and their expressions revealed playfulness.
This second lady of the Shen family is really powerful, and she dares to have a tryst with her lover in public.
It's someone else, but this person is the third son of the Huan family, I really don't know what she thinks.
Shen Mingzhen pretended to be very surprised and hurriedly appeared, and slapped Shen Mingzhu in the face.
Shen Mingzhu woke up slowly, looked at his unclothed appearance, and then looked at the man lying on top of him, and cried out "ah".
Soon, the matter of the second miss of the Shen family and the third son of the Huan family was known to everyone.
Shen Mingzhu left the scene angrily, sat in the carriage, and slapped the maid hard: "Where did you go just now?" ”
"The slave is going to buy heat stroke medicine for the young lady."
The maid looked at Shen Mingzhu, "Miss, this matter depends on the slave maid, and the eight achievements were designed by the third son."
He must have seen the beauty of the young lady, so he became greedy and did this game.
Who in the capital doesn't know that this arrogant third prince is a playboy, and he stares at those good-looking women on weekdays. “
Shen Mingzhu stopped speaking and lowered his head.
She had heard of the reputation of this arrogant third son, and heard that his family had married a three-room concubine, and recently he was not clear with the Oiran of the Flower Fragrance Pavilion.
It's really unlucky to marry such a person.
However, his body has been looked down on by him, if he doesn't marry him, who else can he marry......
Shen Mingzhu fell into confusion.
As soon as she returned home, Master Shen and Mrs. Shen were already waiting for her.
Old Mrs. Shen sighed: "Mingzhu girl, grandmother originally found you a wishful husband, who would have thought that such a big thing would come out."
I have discussed with your father that it is better for you to marry into the Huan family as soon as possible.
Although the third prince said that he was doing something ridiculous, if you could stop him, it wouldn't be a big deal. “
Shen Mingzhu wanted to cry without tears.
How did the third son come back with such a temperament.
His parents couldn't control him, how could she control him.
It was heard that his concubine had already bore him a daughter. This family is in a mess, what can she do.
After thinking about it, she ran to find Aunt Zhu.
Aunt Zhu was raising a baby, and when she heard that Shen Mingzhu had made this, she was shocked and frightened, and fell off the high swing, and her stomach fell straight to the ground.
She suddenly felt bad.
Hurriedly grabbed Shen Mingzhu: "You are fast...... Go and call the master over...... I'm afraid I won't be able to......"
Aunt Zhu was sweating a lot on her head.
The pain in her abdomen was unbearable, and she touched her stomach and found a large amount of blood coming out from under her stomach.
It's too late.
The child can't be saved.
She grabbed Shen Mingzhu: "Quick, go to your father, maybe, she can spare you once for my miscarriage, so that you don't have to go to the Huan family and marry the third son......"
Shen Mingzhu was busy looking for Lord Shen.
Lord Shen really relented: "Your mother just had a miscarriage, and something like this happened to you again......"
"Ugh." Master Shen sighed: "If you don't want to marry, don't marry." Left and right, my Shen family can also raise you for a lifetime. ”
Shen Mingzhen walked in: "Father's words are not right.
Mingzhu doesn't want to marry the third son, does she want to stay in the Shen family for the rest of her life and be an old girl?
Married to the third son, if she gives birth to a son, she can still rely on it when she is old.
If you stay at home, you and Aunt Zhu will not be there in the future, how will Mingzhu live? “
That's true, too.
Not only did Master Shen feel right, but Shen Mingzhu also felt that Shen Mingzhen's words were very reasonable.
She sat on the ground, looked at Master Shen, and gritted her teeth: "Father, I'll marry, you can inform the Huan family, and let them come over tomorrow to propose." ”
Master Shen was helpless.
The family really has no money, Shen Mingzhu wants to marry her, where can he get her dowry and dowry silver.
Anyway, Shen Mingzhu is also the second lady of the Shen family.
He couldn't let her marry like that.
Master Shen looked at Shen Mingzhen: "Your sister is getting married, you can lend your father three hundred taels of silver, and let your father buy some dowry for your sister."
She can't go home empty-handed. “
Shen Mingzhen nodded: "What my father said is that my sister should have a beautiful wedding dress."
I bought this wedding dress for my sister. “
She took care of the wedding dress, and she didn't want to pay a penny for the rest.
