Chapter Thirty-Seven: Slowly Driving Her Crazy

"Yes, let's talk about it after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. There is no rush in this matter. Yan Lijun agreed with the prince's opinion.

Although the Queen Mother loves the four brothers very much and does not favor anyone, King Ning cannot leave Beijing before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. This court was originally divided into two factions, one was the crown prince and the other was King Lang. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, King Ning's own grandson, is not there, and King Ning will be impeached by others to take the opportunity to embarrass the prince.

King Ning also knew that he was in a hurry. Because it has always been his wish to pacify the southern border, and it is also a prerequisite for him to marry Lin Wanxin. He has worked hard for so many years, he doesn't want his mind to be wasted, and he also wants to disappoint Xin'er.

"Is there a report for the proposed performance?" King Ning asked again.

"Fu Jun means to ask King Ning your opinion first." Ning Kang said.

"Then put it aside for now, and then report it after I go to verify. lest you get the hearts of the people to panic when you get it. King Ning said, and waved at him to signal that he was okay and stepped back.

"Yes! Subordinates retire! Ning Kang retreated.

The shadow followed him out.

The faces of the three people left in the room were extremely solemn, and they looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

Ten years ago, I don't know who served the poison Yan Valley, and at that time, the people of the Celestial Empire were celebrating, because they no longer had to worry about being caught that day, being eaten by life, or being developed into such a cruel medicine man. During that time, most of the people in the south were panicked, and when they heard that the Poison Yama Valley was destroyed, most of the state cities in the south were completely closed for business to celebrate, and they also regarded December 20 every year, that is, the day they learned that the Poison Yama Valley was destroyed, as the day they obtained a new life, and the celebration scene was even more lively than the New Year.

If they knew that the Poison Yan Valley Medicine Man would make a comeback, they didn't know how they would feel, and they didn't know what kind of scene it would cause then.

"It seems that you have to find your master as soon as possible." King Ning said to Yan Lijun.

"I'll send him a message when I get back today." Yan Lijun said solemnly.

Yan Lijun's master used to be a doctor in Tai Hospital, and his medical skills were very exquisite. Standing out from the crowd in the Tai Hospital, it is inevitable that he will be hated. However, Imperial Physician Fang was very obsessed with studying medical skills, and had no intention of fighting openly and secretly in the Imperial Hospital, so he directly resigned from the position of Imperial Physician and concentrated on studying his medical skills. Now he is traveling all over the world, discussing medical skills with doctors from all over the world, and has seen a lot of various incurable diseases, and the medical skills of the doctor are more exquisite, and now the people in the rivers and lakes are called the doctor Fang.

Yan Lijun was highly poisoned by the crown prince and King Ning since childhood, so he worshipped Imperial Doctor Fang as his teacher and learned medical skills from him. Yan Lijun studied medicine very hard, and after studying with Doctor Fang for five years, he learned all the medical skills of Doctor Fang at that time. But he was still like his master and was embarrassed by the poison in the prince and King Ning. But the only thing that has changed for the better is that the physique of the crown prince and King Ning has changed, although the poison cannot be cured.

The panic in King Ning's mansion did not affect other places.

For example, the Summer Palace of the Shen Mansion is very peaceful at the moment. Of course, before Ali came to serve.

Ali went to Shen Yafei to serve the next day after returning home, and she didn't leave an inch, looking like a lord and a servant.

However, at night, Dabao still pushed her out directly and mercilessly, not letting her into Shen Yafei's bedroom.

"Miss." One morning, Mama Hu had a white cloth wrapped around her head, and the middle of her forehead bulged, Shen Yafei felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye, and responded lightly.

"Miss, the old slave wants to take two days off." Mama Hu said.

"What does it smell like?" Shen Yafei sniffed with her nose, couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily. But her heart blossomed, this Zhiyu was reliable, and asked the kitchen to cook more meat for her another day.

"Miss, it's the smell of the medicine used for the old slave's wound." Mama Hu's face was slightly red, and she said embarrassedly, "The old slave wants to ask for leave to take a look at his forehead." As soon as she remembered that the wound on her head was caused by Dabao, and now Dabao was still looking at her forehead with an innocent and curious face, Mama Hu hated her teeth.

"It's okay if you don't ask for leave, you don't have to look at your forehead for a long time, you can come back after reading it." If you really can't do something, you just sit by and tell them what to do, isn't it the same thing these days? You can't do this Summer Palace without you. Shen Yafei said. How could this old woman be willing to let go of the power in her hands for two days, with her temperament, she was afraid that others would take away her rights no matter what day.

"No, no, miss, the old slave has to go out for a long time this time, because the old slave has not taken care of this wound for the past few days, but now the wound has worsened and has to be treated." Mama Hu was also very strange that the bag on her forehead was originally swollen, but she didn't expect the bulging bag to be terribly red and swollen the next day, and there was a small ulcer on the third day, and now it is even more miserable. After seeing the doctor, the doctor didn't know what the reason was, and some doctors said that it might be caused by insects peeing on her forehead when she slept at night. But the medicine they prescribed was useless, and the wound was even more pus and stinky in the past two days, and other people would frown involuntarily when they saw her.

"Then you go, who will take care of this Summer Palace?" Shen Yafei was very curious about who she gave the right to playback.

"The old slave has commanded them to take care of what they have to do every day. Moreover, these days, they have also done their own work, even if the old slave is not there to supervise, they can do a good job. If there is anything more important and difficult to solve, the old slave will let them go to Ali, after all, Ali has been in the Shen Mansion for a short time, so the old slave believes that she will be able to handle it. Mama Hu said.

Shen Yafei still recognized Mama Hu's ability to manage things, and nodded.

"That ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Mama Hu asked tentatively.

"Who did you give the key to the storeroom?" Shen Yafei remembered that she didn't seem to have the key to the warehouse, so she forgot to ask, and Mama Hu didn't give it to her.

"This, the key to the treasury is still kept by the old slave. Usually Miss has never opened a warehouse, so the old slave wants the old slave to go out for two days, and the young lady will not use the warehouse so coincidentally. Mama Hu listened to Shen Yafei's words and chuckled in her heart, Miss didn't want to open a warehouse, right? No, absolutely not, the things in the treasury, Mama Hu has long regarded them as her own, and she often secretly takes some out to exchange for silver tickets and sends them to her son. What if the lady takes the key and finds that something is missing?

"I'm going to visit some of my sisters when I was a kid recently, and if you give them the key to the storeroom, I'm going to choose some gifts for them." This old minion, in her previous life, was the same person who dragged the key to the treasury to death, and she didn't know how much she was greedy for the things inside. In his previous life, because of his hard temper, he was coaxed to death by Mama Hu and was unwilling to use the things given by Mrs. Shen, so he never asked about the treasury. But she won't be so stupid now, why don't you use the money if she has it, it doesn't matter whose it is. Moreover, she didn't want to cheapen these things for Mama Hu's old thing.

"However, there is only one key to the lady's treasury. Otherwise, the old slave will come back this time and give another handful, and then give Zhiyu. Mama Hu said.

"Yes." Shen Yafei said that Mama Hu breathed a sigh of relief, at most, she said that she forgot to match.

"Then you open the storeroom now, and I'll move what I want." Shen Yafei couldn't refuse, "Zhiyu! โ€

"Yes." Zhiyu walked up to Mama Hu, "Mama Hu let's go." โ€

Mama Hu saw that Shen Yafei didn't give her room to refute, so she had to go to the warehouse with Zhiyu.

"There's a lot of stuff here, huh?" Knowing the language.

Mama Hu saw Zhiyu's eyes carefully looking around the warehouse, she was really worried that Zhiyu would see something. Except for the things given by the queen mother a few days ago, she didn't dare to move, and she had moved everything else. It's not good, but fortunately, she's smart, she picks some of each box, and she doesn't take the whole box, so it's not so easy for people to notice. For those boxes that she took a lot, she would also put a layer of fabric under the boxes, and she couldn't even see it.

"Zhiyu, what do you want to choose? Why don't I tell you directly which boxes are what the lady wants. Mama Hu saw that Zhiyu opened three boxes one after another, all of them turned to the bottom, didn't take anything, and wanted to open another box, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Zhiyu looked at her funny, and when Mama Hu was about to collapse, she smiled and said, "Okay, I want some earrings and headdresses for the young girl, you can pick a few pairs." โ€

Mama Hu listened to her request, chose a few pairs of high-quality jewelry, and after handing them to Zhiyu, she urged her to leave.

Zhiyu took the adjusted jewelry to Shen Yafei, and after Mama Hu left, Zhiyu said, "Miss, this old thing is really like you said, and it has swallowed a lot of things." Many of the boxes in the warehouse look full, but it's actually because there are things at the bottom of the boxes. Shall we take back the treasury? โ€

"No, just grab something and use it from time to time. Slowly drove her crazy. Shen Yafei's eyes shone with a sly light.

"By the way, how are things going in Handzhou? Any news? Shen Yafei carefully examined a few pieces of jewelry on the table.

"Not yet." Zhiyu said.

"Are we really going to visit that Zhang Yuanyuan today?" Zhiyu asked.

"Of course, we have sent so many posts here, we have to respond." Shen Yafei said with a smile, "Besides, the ones who care most about me in this capital are their mother and daughter, and they are so for me, I have to express it somewhat." โ€

Zhiyu helped Shen Yafei sort out her clothes and headdresses, picked out a pair of jewelry she had just taken and put them in the box, and wrapped the rest in cloth.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and Dabao's voice came in, "Miss." Mama Bamboo has something to see you. โ€

Shen Yafei asked Zhiyu to put the jewelry in the cabinet and said, "Come in." โ€

Dabao pushed the door open, followed by two middle-aged women, one was Mama Zhu, and the other Shen Yafei had never seen. However, judging by Mama Zhu's respect for her, she should not be a descendant of the Shen family.

"Second Miss." Mama Zhu saluted Shen Yafei.

Shen Yafei didn't move, just looked at her quietly, curious about what she was doing here with an old lady with a solemn and stern face, and wanted to add a housekeeper to the Summer Palace to balance the daily affairs of the Summer Palace. It's been almost a month since she returned to Beijing, and now she has sent a new person to her, it won't be too late, do you want to send someone to spy on her?

Just when Shen Yafei and the three of them were puzzled, Mama Zhu solved the doubts in their hearts, "This is Mama Wei, it is Mama Madam who asked Madam to teach you." She will live in the Summer Palace so that she can observe and correct your behavior at any time. Mama Wei used to be the grandmother in the palace who taught the princess the etiquette form. Seeing that Shen Yafei didn't respond to her salute, Mama Zhu was also a little dissatisfied, but she didn't show it. This second lady really should be taught well. I hope that this time she can study hard with Mama Wei, and she doesn't have to worry about her anymore.

"Oh, okay." She thinks she can still do her etiquette, but she still prefers to do things according to her own wishes, Shen Yafei doesn't care, at most she can pretend, Shen Yafei said with a smile, "Then Mama Wei will familiarize herself with the environment of the Summer Palace today." Zhiyu, you take Mama Wei down to find Ali, let Ali arrange a place for Mama Wei, and arrange a maid to wait. โ€

"Yes." Zhiyu took Mama Wei down.

"I'm tired of Mama Zhu today. Please help me and my wife thank you for being so attentive to me. Shen Yafei said in a sincere tone and with a sincere attitude.

Mama Zhu was stunned by her polite behavior, the second miss has always been an immoral, rude and uneducated image in her mind, when did she become so good at behaving? Where did the second young lady who ignored the elders and messed around regardless of the occasion go, why did the second young lady change so much?

"You're welcome, that's what the old slave should do. The old slave retired. After Shen Yafei nodded, Mama Zhu retreated.

"Miss." Dabao poured Shen Yafei a cup of tea, although she had no opinion on Mama Wei's arrival, she knew that Miss could handle it, but she was afraid that Miss would not be able to bear it.

"It's fine." Shen Yafei took a sip of tea, she knew that Dabao was worried, but she had her own way to deal with it when the time came, "I'll go out with Zhiyu today, you stay in the house, don't let others run in." โ€

"yes, I know." Dabao nodded solemnly.

After a while, Zhiyu will come.

Shen Yafei and the others took the jewelry and posts, and went to the account office early this morning to get the silver ticket. got into the carriage she usually used and went out, this was the second time Shen Yafei went out since she came back from Xian Xianglou, except for the time when she entered the palace. The coachman had been worried when he received that he was going to take the second lady out last night, worried that this time there would be, and there was another dying maid in the car. However, when he saw that Shen Yafei was only Zhiyu by his side, and there was no one else behind him, his heart that had been hanging for a night finally let go.

"Miss, where are you going?" After Shen Yafei and the others got into the car, the coachman asked.

"Go to Zhang Pinghou's Mansion." Zhiyu Ti Shen Yafei replied.

The coachman, who had been given the order, drove the carriage in the direction of East Street.

After arriving at Zhang Pinghou's mansion, Zhiyu handed the post to the little guy who was guarding the door, and the little guy looked at the content of the post, and then looked up at Shen Yafei with wide eyes, it turned out that this was the second miss of the Shen family who had recently caused a sensation in the capital. Looking at this gentle and delicate look, no, he is a person who can say such a fierce thing as "what can be solved with fists and feet, it will never be verbose".

Zhiyu was very dissatisfied with the little guy's rude behavior, and walked to the front and stood in front of Shen Yafei to block his gaze.

And Shen Yafei behind Zhiyu still maintained a faint and gentle smile, and didn't pay attention to the little guy, who thought of the rumors he had heard these days, his scalp was numb, and his sideburns were wet with cold sweat.

Just when the little guy's face was about to stiffen, the little guy who had just gone in to deliver the message came out, and the little guy who was guarding the door immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second Miss Shen, the eldest lady of our family is waiting for you inside, please come with me." The messenger said respectfully.

Shen Yafei and Zhiyu followed the little girl to Zhang Yuanyuan's courtyard.

When the courtyard door opened, Shen Yafei heard the laughter of a girl like a copper bell coming from the house.

In Zhang Yuanyuan's boudoir, three young girls, who are at the best age of women, paint their faces with light makeup, which not only makes the makeup a little more noble and luxurious, but also does not lose the aura of a girl.

When he heard Mama say that Shen Yafei had brought it, Qi Qi looked up at the door.

Shen Yafei can vaguely find eyebrows and eyes similar to Aunt Liu on the face of the older girl in the middle with a light green and yellow spring flower pattern, and she can know that this is Zhang Yuanyuan who has always been thinking about her without introducing her.

Sure enough, when the girl in the middle saw her, she immediately got up and greeted her, eagerly pulling Shen Yafei's hands, this action Shen Yafei felt familiar, Zhang Yuanyuan said happily: "This is Sister Shen, right?" I haven't seen him for many years, but I still look as likable as when I was a child. I wanted to go out to pick you up in person, but I couldn't move away because I thought two of my friends were there, so I didn't go out to pick you up. Sister Shen won't blame her sister, right? โ€

"Sister Yuan Yuan is polite. Since there are guests here, of course, they have to accompany them. It was I who took the liberty of not talking to my sister first, so I took the liberty of visiting the house. If I had known that my sister had friends, I wouldn't have bothered me. Shen Yafei said.

"What do you say! I'm glad you can come, I've just returned to Beijing these days, and I'm going to meet up with friends, so I don't have time to look for you, we're just chatting normally, where is it a bother. Come, let me introduce you to two of my friends. This is He Wenran, the eldest lady of He Mansion, and He Wenying, the second lady. Zhang Yuanyuan introduced the two to Shen Yafei, and then turned his head to the two friends and said, "This is Shen Yafei, the second Miss Shen." โ€

"Miss He, Miss He, hello!" Shen Yafei smiled and saluted the two.

"Hello Miss Shen!" He Wenran and He Wenying also saluted Shen Yafei.

After He Wenran and He Wenying saw Shen Yafei, their faces were no longer as free and cheerful as before, and now they were more restrained and vigilant. The two of them also looked at Shen Yafei with unknown flames.
