Chapter 29: Shen Dan'er who is seriously ill
The fourth grandmother on the side hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears, and said softly, "Ancestor, Dan'er should be distressed to see you crying!" ”
The old lady nodded tremblingly and hurriedly turned her face sideways, and asked softly, "What did Academician Xia say!?" ”
Shen Sihai's eyes were red, and he stopped talking again, shook his head lightly and said, "Academician Xia also tried his best!" ”
Old Mrs. Shen lost her strength in vain, and the clever fourth grandmother on the side immediately stepped forward to support the old lady with one hand, and gently stroked the old lady's back with the other hand to help her smooth out.
The old lady sighed sadly, "Evil! Why don't you take my old bones first......"
A low murmur came from within the veil, "Is Grandmother here?!" ......" Shen Dan'er asked faintly, faintly waking up.
"Yes, it's Grandmother, Dan'er is awake." The old lady hurriedly returned to the bedside, holding Shen Dan'er's cold little hand, with tears on her face.
"Grandmother, Dan'er is fine, it will be fine in a few days......" Shen Dan'er forced a smile to comfort the old lady.
Everyone on the side was even more sad, and they all secretly wiped their tears sideways, the fourth master of the Shen family is Shen Huaiyuan, the only son of Shen Tongzhi, who served in the Hanlin Academy, and the fourth grandmother of the Shen family is surnamed Gu, and her maiden name is Qiyun, and she is the second daughter of Gu Changwu, the Marquis of Anding.
Gu Qiyun is different from her eldest sister Gu Qiyan, with a gentle personality and dignified temperament, such as a Jianghuai woman, beautiful and beautiful, but not gorgeous, beautiful and subtle like a landscape painting, elegant and atmospheric, which makes people unforgettable.
Gu Qiyun is a few years older than Shen Dan'er, but her relationship with Shen Dan'er is excellent.
At this time, seeing that she looked like she was dying in the world, she was reluctant to give up, "Fourth sister-in-law," Shen Dan'er's eyes turned to Gu Qiyun behind the old lady.
"I'm here, Dan'er has something to say." Gu Qiyun hurriedly leaned on the end of the bed, held Shen Dan'er's other hand, and asked softly.
"Grandmother, I want to talk to my fourth sister-in-law." Shen Dan'er's words almost exhausted her strength, accompanied by a rapid gasp.
After everyone in the room left, Gu Qiyun stuffed another pillow under Shen Dan'er to make her more comfortable.
"Fourth sister-in-law, is he back?" Shen Dan'er's eyes showed hope and asked weakly.
Gu Qiyun naturally knew who Shen Dan'er was asking, back then, Shen Dan'er fell in love with her stubborn brother at first sight, she had asked Gu Changhuan to talk, but the goddess had a heart to Xiang Wang and no dream.
The matter was stopped, and later the emperor issued a decree to give marriage, but Shen Dan'er was unwilling, and even said that he would rather die than marry.
During the years when Shen Dan'er was sick, Gu Qiyun often wondered that she was on the Hechun Tower that year, if she hadn't stopped Gu Changhuan who was riding by, would Shen Dan'er be different now? !
Although the king of Qi has a disability, he is the most gentle and generous of all the princes, with an indifferent temperament, outstanding intelligence, and an outstanding demeanor.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiyun looked at Shen Dan'er, and felt even more guilty in her heart, "Dan'er, when you are well, I will let him come to see you." ”
Gu Qiyun is not joking, as long as Shen Dan'er can get better, she can't care about any rules.
Shen Dan'er's originally lifeless eyes flashed with a bright light, and she vaguely saw the unparalleled young man, full of smiles, and ran towards her.
"If only I could see him again in this life, even if I look at him, it's good,......" his voice gradually lowered.
Gu Qiyun saw that Shen Dan'er was tired and fell asleep, so she put her hand back in the quilt, tucked the quilt, looked at her thin and sallow face, and made a decision in her heart.
Gu Qiyun got out of the Caifeng Pavilion and got into the carriage and went straight to the Marquis of Anding's mansion.
Although Mrs. Gu, the hostess of the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, was over fifty years old and looked like she was in her early thirties, she was talking to her eldest daughter Gu Qiyan at this time, and the sadness on her face was all amused by Gu Qiyan's eccentricity.
"Madam, eldest miss, second miss is back!" The maid Ruri trotted in with a smile.
"The second sister and I really have a heart." Gu Qiyan pointed to his chin and nodded lightly.
"Where's the second miss?" Mrs. Gu had already arrived at the door.
"Mrs. Hui, it's time to go to Huaqing Garden!" Ruri replied briskly.
"Don't say a word in advance about how you come back one by one, let the kitchen prepare more dishes that Miss Second likes to eat." Mrs. Gu walked out and instructed her subordinates.
Gu Qiyan, who was holding Mrs. Gu, pretended to eat, "Why didn't I see my mother preparing my favorite dish when I came back!?" ”
"How can you be missing this monkey!" Mrs. Gu doted on the eldest daughter's smooth and delicate forehead.
While speaking, Gu Qiyun had already arrived at the Chrysanthemum Garden, where Mrs. Gu lived, "Mother, eldest sister!" Gu Qiyun bent her knees slightly and greeted Mrs. Gu.
"In your own home, what do you do with such rules!" Mrs. Gu was disgusted and helped Gu Qiyun up.
"Mother, can you pass the book and let Changhuan come back,......" Gu Qiyun anxiously told the whole story.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Qi looked at each other, their faces were extremely surprised, they didn't expect that there was such a twists and turns in the story, speaking of the infatuated Shen Dan'er, Mrs. Gu also felt pity in her heart.
"Yun'er, I shouldn't have said such a thing." Mrs. Gu sighed, paused and said to Gu Qiyun and Gu Qiyan,
"If King Qi hadn't contracted the disease back then, Miss Shen would indeed not have been given marriage, but it would have been impossible to marry into the Gu family!"
"I still remember that when Huaiyuan returned to Beijing to prepare for the exam, when you met, Huaiyuan lived in the Puji Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and we all thought it was just a poor child." Mrs. Gu's eyes showed reminiscence, and she looked at Gu Qiyun and said slowly,
"If I knew that he was a child of the Shen family, I would have stopped you from the beginning." Gu Qiyun looked at Mrs. Gu's poignant face in surprise, these mothers had never told her.
"The emperor is suspicious, if the Shen family's family background marries our Gu family, then no one in the entire Beihuang can shake us anymore, and the emperor will not let Shen Dan'er marry any prince who has the opportunity to ascend the throne, so that the dynasty will have more relatives like the Shen family." Gu Qiyan took over the conversation with a mocking tone.
"When your sister was not married, the emperor hinted to your father that he was willing to take the position of concubine and take Yan'er into the palace." Thinking of those old things, Mrs. Gu's originally soft eyes also revealed a trace of coldness.
"Phew! The Dog Emperor is so shameless! When Gu Qiyan heard this, he raised his eyebrows coldly and angrily, thinking that he had been coveted by the old man, and he was so angry that he couldn't wait to point at the emperor's nose and scold him.
"Look at your sister's temper, if you enter the palace, there will be no way to live, how can your father be reluctant, and then you and Huaiyuan fell in love, although Huaiyuan is from the second room, but after all, he is a member of the Shen family, I am afraid that the emperor has tied the Shen Gu family together in his heart." The chill in Mrs. Gu's words grew.
That's why Shen Dan'er was given a marriage to the crippled Sixth Prince?! Because it is the farthest from the imperial power......
If he hadn't married into the Shen family, maybe Shen Dan'er wouldn't have to suffer such a fate!
Gu Qiyun seems to be weak, but in fact, she is resolute and stubborn, and said firmly, "Even if the matter has come to this, we have no power to change anything, at least Dan'er is infatuated!" ”
