Chapter 006: Who is the handmaiden

"This ......"

Old lady Shen asked and looked at the doctorβ€”β€”

The doctor disagreed: "Old lady, the third young master only suffered from the cold after falling into the water, and the wind blew on him, and his body has begun to heat up at this time, and the only way to sleep and recuperate is to sleep and recuperate." Moreover, the road down the mountain is rugged and bumpy, and if you move it easily and then blow the wind, I am afraid that it will aggravate the condition. ”

When Shen Shu heard this, he remembered coldly that before leaving the house, a picture of a torrential rain appeared in his mind.

She turned her head to look at the windowβ€”

At this moment, it was just past noon, and the light coming in from the window was already gloomy and gloomy.

The carriage was already very slow to descend the mountain, and if it rained heavily on the way......

Before determining whether what was about to happen to the third brother was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, Shen Shu did not dare to take risks.

Just in the blink of an eye, Shen Shu had already made a quick decision: "Grandmother, when the third brother came in the morning, he said that he might have a headache at night recently, although the wind and cold at this time are mild, if the new symptoms are added to the old ones at night......"

As she spoke, she bowed her knees to the doctor: "Please also ask the doctor to stay in the temple, if the third brother is not feeling well at night, it is also convenient for diagnosis and treatment." ”

The doctor returned the salute.

Old Lady Shen nodded at Mama Huai.

After Mama Huai led the doctor out, Shen Shu walked up to Steward Fu again, and said in a low voice: "I also ask Uncle Fu to send someone who can ride a horse to take the prescription prescribed by the doctor to the city, and then take the medicine after showing it to Dr. Liu, who is used to checking the pulse of the house." Incidentally...... I also sent someone back to my house to tell my mother, and asked Fuxi and Fuli to bring some people to ride up the mountain to serve. ”

Fuxi and Fuli are the personal servants of the third brother Shen Jinming, and the two of them are one and the other.

Among them, the welfare is the guard that Daddy Shen Chong personally selected for the third brother, and his skills are excellent, with him by the third brother's side, ordinary people can't get close to the third brother's body at all.

Today, the third brother rode over with her, and the grandmother was blessed with someone on her side, so she didn't let the little girl follow, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

When the Fu steward heard this, he hurriedly responded and went to make arrangements.

Old Lady Shen took Shen Shu's hand and said with relief: "Girl, you are finally sensible." ”

Shen Shuqiang pressed down the full words, shook the old lady's hand, and begged: "Grandmother, I still can't worry about the third brother's illness, let me stay and take care of the third brother tonight, okay?" ”

"Grandmother knows that you are thinking about Brother Ming, but after all, you are a big girl, this meditation garden is a place where male pilgrims live, you should not stay for a long time, let alone spend the night here." The old lady said, patting the back of Shen Shu's hand: "Don't worry, when it is night, I will let Mama Huai stay here to guard Brother Ming, which is much more appropriate than you, a reckless girl." ”

Shen Shu wanted to ask again, but when she saw her grandmother's worried and tired face, she finally nodded.

Another hour passed, and by the time Shen Shu was forcibly kicked out by Mrs. Shen, the sky was completely gloomy as night.

The strong wind blew the budding begonia tree in the courtyard to the side.

When the rainstorm is about to come, even the air is mixed with cold moisture.

Shen Shu's heart was shrouded in a thick sense of ominousness, and her face was as depressed as this weather.

The maid wearing a Haiqing robe, standing at the foot of the steps with an umbrella, saw Shen Shu, and curtsied: "Girl, Mama Huai said that the girl hurriedly went up the mountain, did not bring the maid, and assigned a slave and maid to serve you." The small meditation room in the old lady's courtyard has been cleaned up, and the slave maid will take you over to rest, right? ”

Shen Shu looked at her eyebrows, and the fragrant gray petal print was a little missing.

This means that the time for the end of the maidservant's longevity is a little closer.

"It's okay, I'm really tired at this moment, let's lead the way."

Shen Shu said, then walked under the maidservant's umbrella, took her arm and walked out of the courtyard.

As soon as the master and servant walked to the gate of Jingsi Garden, Shen Shu saw the third brother's personal servant Fuxi and Welfare from a distance, and he stopped his horse and walked towards this side.

As soon as the two saw Shen Shu, they hurriedly saluted.

Shen Shu pointed to the string of medicine bags thickly wrapped in kraft paper in Fuxi's hand and asked, "Is this the third brother's medicine?" ”

"Yes, girl." Fuxi replied: "Mrs. asked the two of us to bring people to ride horses and deliver medicine to take care of the third young master." ”

Shen Shu stretched out his hand: "Take it to me and take a look." β€œ

OSI and Fuxi were both stunned, and then OSI hurriedly presented the medicine package.

Shen Shu hung the medicine bag on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently.

Even though the medicine bag was wrapped in thick brown paper at the moment, the bitter wind swept away almost all the smellsβ€”

Thanks to the "Medicine Buddha", Shen Shu could easily smell some medicine, and the wisps drifted into the tip of her nose.

Almost at the same time-

In her mind, she could clearly distinguish what kind of herbs were coming from the smell of the medicine.

However, Shen Shu only knew the taste of medicine, but did not understand pharmacology.

She looked at Fuxi: "What about Fangzi?" ”

Fuxi hurriedly took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Shu with a puzzled face.

He thought the girl would open the medicine bag and look at it, but he didn't expect it to be just a pick-up and look at it......

Shen Shu looked at the recipe at a glance.

The medicine in the medicine bag is exactly the same as the medicine on the prescription, no more, no less.

Her heart was slightly relieved, as long as the medicine was good, she could judge what she "saw" - Shen Jinming's stupid abnormality was not caused by being drugged.

Shen Shu turned his head to Fuli and ordered: "The third brother rarely stays out, and the matter of falling into the water is also a little strange, tonight you will not leave the third brother an inch, and arrange more manpower in the yard, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, if someone is trying to do wrong, try to stay alive." ”

Fu Fu bowed down and took the order: "Don't worry, the little one has enough manpower, if the young master's yard really flies into the fly, I guarantee that it will never want to fly out again." ”

Shen Shu waved at them: "Go ahead." ”

Seeing Fuxi and Fuli leave, Shen Shu glanced at the maidservant beside her.

The handmaiden always stood quietly by her side, her eyes down, and like all sensible and calm handmaidens, she did not see anything unusual.

"Let's go."

Shen Shu helped the maid and walked towards the outside of the temple.

During the year, Mrs. Shen spent almost half of the year living on the mountain to worship the Buddha and cultivate, and most of the servants around her, except for Mama Huai, were silent and rarely appeared in front of people.

Shen Shu's temperament jumps out, every time she goes to the old lady to ask for peace, she comes in a hurry, and she leaves in a hurry, and she really doesn't recognize her grandmother's maid.

From Fuyun Temple to Hui'an Garden, where Mrs. Shen settled, Shen Shu tried to remember the name of the maid next to her along the way, but for some reason, she never remembered it.

Until...... When she walked into the small meditation room that Mama Huai ordered someone to clean upβ€”

Shen Shu looked at the familiar layout in the meditation room, as well as the dark and dull lines on the bluestone brick paved ground, and her brain "buzzed".

A picture suddenly appeared in her mind!

Shen Shu's face changed slightly.

In the picture, the maidservant girl is lying on the floor of the bluestone bricks.

His face was gray, his body was stiff, and he had no breath at all.

Not only did he die tonight, but he died in this meditation room!

This is the meditation room where Shen Shu is going to rest tonight!

At this moment, Shen Shu suddenly remembered the name of the maidservant-

She turned her head and looked at the maidservant with a complicated expression.

"Sister, are you Grandma Huai's granddaughter - Huaiyue? A year older than me? ”
