The sky is still just numb and bright, the eaves and corners of the back house of the Shen Mansion are like a pair of paper cuts quietly pasted in the gray-blue sky, in the courtyard, two rough mothers-in-law are sweeping the floor with a tall bamboo broom, seeing Shen Muqing come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, one of the older ones also said: "Girl, this day is not transparent, do you want to ask two people to carry a lantern for the girl." ”

Shen Muqing's Anyuan is behind Li's house, very close.

"That's not necessary." Shen Muqing smiled, "Let Mama bother." ”

The woman hurriedly shook her head: "Don't bother, don't bother......"

Shen Muqing smiled and nodded with the two mothers-in-law, and then walked out of the inverted seat door and entered the Li family's courtyard along the verandah.

Under the eaves, there are four octagonal glass colored spike palace lamps, emitting soft light, and seven or eight maids and daughters-in-law are standing in front of the big red Luo plywood curtain. Seeing Shen Muqing coming, some were fighting for the curtain, and some were courteous: "The girl is here!" ”

Shen Muqing entered the door, and a strong fragrance of pine and cedar came to his face.

She looked forward to it.

The daughter-in-law who was serving next to her hurriedly smiled and said, "It was ordered by my wife to smoke some incense, saying that this room is full of medicinal smells, and she can't smell it." ”

Because Li was old when he gave birth, he suffered a blood collapse again, although he left a life, but in the past ten years, he has not been without medicine for a day.

I have been sick for so many years, and I have the smell of Chinese medicine in my bones, where can I get rid of the incense......

Shen Muqing thought about it, and said "um" to the daughter-in-law, which was regarded as answering what he had just said.

Seeing that Shen Muqing didn't say anything, the daughter-in-law secretly sighed in her heart.

Although the girl talks little, she always smiles when she encounters problems, but her eyes are very sharp, as if she wants to see your five intestines and six lungs clearly. So although she is young, no one in the family dares to treat her as an ordinary child...... There was always a few cautions in front of her.

Shen Mu, the marquis of Jinxiu, took off her cloak, and a slender woman walked out of the wishful flower cover with the official green curtain hanging in the west.

She was twenty-seven or eight years old, with a white face like jade, a pair of long eyebrows flying obliquely into the temples, thin Danfeng eyes were bright and compelling, wearing a dark green background four-fold Ruyi entwined branches and narrow sleeve jackets, a green twelve embroidered orchid horse-faced skirts, black hair combed into a peony bun, wearing a jade flower headband, inserted beads and phoenix hairpins, and hanging on the ears with opal skein lantern earrings, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, radiant.

Luomei and Jinxiu hurriedly curtsied to the woman, and Shen Muqing smiled and shouted "Aunt Chen".

This woman's name is Xie Hong, who was also a woman from an official eunuch family, and later her father was implicated in Shangfeng's ink corruption case and was demoted to a county prince. Her mother died early, and she has been following her father in office, coming and going, delaying the marriage, and not talking about her in-laws in her early twenties. Five years ago, in the same year as Shen Zhen, Liu Jun, the political envoy of Zhejiang's political secretary, was a matchmaker for the concubine. She gave birth to a son in the second year after she entered the door, named "Dashe", and is Shen Zhen's only living son at present.

Aunt Chen bent her knees and blessed Shen Muqing, and said with a smile: "Mrs. is thinking about the girl, come in, girl!" The voice was soft and waxy, faintly revealing a bit of cheerfulness.

Speaking of which, she has been married to the Shen family for many years, and no matter when she sees her, she has a smiling face...... This is also a skill that is worth learning and learning from......

Shen Muqing thought about it and entered the house with Aunt Chen.

Li is 52 years old this year, and the long-term illness and torture have not only made her hair gray, her skin dry and yellow, but also her eyes are cloudy, and she looks like an old woman in her seventies.

She leaned on the pillow with a dazed expression, and her personal maidservant Orange Xiang sat on the edge of the bed and served her to drink medicine.

Seeing Shen Muqing, she immediately smiled, and her eyes burst out with a bright light like a morning star: "Why is it so early, and I don't sleep much!" ”

Shen Muqing curtstoon and saluted her, pouted, frowned, and pretended to complain: "Mrs. is really, while teaching me to 'get up at dawn and sweep the court', she also said that I came early...... It's really hard to serve! As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed and took the medicine from Orange Fragrance's hand.

And all the servants of the house hid their mouths and laughed.

Li also smiled, but there were a few sighs in his smile.

The daughter is close to herself, how can she not like it. But this daughter is too sensible and considerate, which makes her feel ashamed - if she is not sick in bed for a long time, and her daughter is serving in front of her, she can only revolve around her every day, how can she be young and old, young and young, but not a little childish, but like an adult, patient, tolerant of everything, and tolerant of everything......

Thinking of this, she couldn't help touching Shen Muqing's head: "Can you still afford to do your homework?" ”

When Shen Muqing was eight years old, her father Shen Zhen invited her to sit in a house with the surname Min.

Shen Muqing said with a smile while feeding Li Shi's medicine: "Sir's class is interesting, I like it very much." ”

Li Shi held his eyes and looked at Shen Muqing.

She only survived this one daughter, so naturally it hurts like beads in her eyes. Not only does she always care about her usual life, but even the female celebrity often calls the people around her to ask her how she is learning. Two days ago, she heard that Shen Muqing had an argument with her husband when she was in class......

Thinking of this, Li gently pushed away the medicine bowl and said seriously: "Mu Qing, don't worry about the old man being unhappy. Although it is said that this Mr. Min was invited by the old man Sangu Lumao, he is not an ordinary person, but if there is no fate, we will not force it. ”

Shen Muqing was slightly stunned.

Mr. Min has taught her for five years, and everyone has always gotten along very well...... She didn't know where her mother's words came from!

"You kid!" Seeing that his daughter looked puzzled, Li said angrily, "How did you come back two days ago?" ”

Shen Muqing let out an "ah", and then he knew what his mother was referring to.

"Mr. Min is teaching his daughter the Analects." She explained with a smile, "It says 'the people can make it but not know', and the two of us have different opinions, so we discussed a few words. ”

Li still didn't want to believe it.

My daughter is so young, how can she argue with her husband about these university questions. However, she was not prepared to refute her daughter's words in front of this room full of people - she would naturally confirm it afterwards.

Li looked relieved, smiled slightly and drank the medicine.

Shen Muqing hurriedly took the sweet white plain noodle dish with crystal rock candy from Aunt Chen's hand and handed it to Li, Li took the candy with his fingertips and put it in his mouth, Aunt Chen took a handkerchief and served Li to wash her hands, Shen Muqing smiled and said: "Mr. Liu prescribed five pairs of medicines last time, and he will finish it tomorrow, do you want to ask Steward Lin to invite Mr. Liu to come over this afternoon, and then check the pulse for Mrs. Liu." ”

Mr. Liu is a physician at Tai Hospital, specializing in internal medicine and gynecology. Three years ago, after Dr. Zhou of Tai Hospital returned to his hometown, he has been treating Li's illness.

Li smiled bitterly: "My illness, that's it, it's just like that, it's just some perfect tonic pills...... Rest your hearts! It doesn't matter if you eat or not. ”

Shen Muqing listened, his eyes darkened.

Since the beginning of the summer, Li's spirit has become worse and worse, and her body has begun to appear swollen, but unfortunately she used to learn Chinese, although she knew that this situation was wrong, but she couldn't come up with any specific measures, so she could only do something anxious and do some small things like urging Li to take medicine......

The thought flashed, and Shen Muqing thought of the pain of the Li family being sick all these years, so he pretended to be coquettish and said: "How can Mrs. say this, Mr. Liu also prescribes different prescriptions according to different situations, like last time, he prescribed medicine to eliminate stomach and spleen, and last time, he prescribed medicine to dispel wind and remove evil...... Prescribe the Ten Perfect Tonic Pills, that is also because the wife needs to make up! ”

My daughter is very sensible and always wants to relax her heart......

Li Shi was happy and sad again, and patted Shen Muqing's hand: "You kid!" ”

Shen Muqing knew that she was so disturbed, and Li's heart was a little more comfortable, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Then let's say so, let Steward Lin go to Tixian Hutong in the afternoon, and invite Mr. Liu to take a look." ”

Li smiled and nodded, and a little maid took the opportunity to say, "Brother She has come to say hello to his wife!" When Li heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Come in, it's windy today, don't blow it!" ”

After a while, a woman dressed in a garnet red armor came in with a child dressed in pink.

The boy was three or four years old, with his eyebrows and eyes not yet open, his hair was black, he wore a royal blue melon hat, a gold coat full of gold, white silk socks, satin shoes, a red gold collar with a longevity lock on his chest, and four or five bells hanging from the red gold bracelet on his hand, which staggered and made a dull sound.

He is Dashe, and the woman holding her is Dashe's nurse Tian's mother.

Aunt Chen hurriedly took the big red brocade mat and put it in front of Li's bed.

Tian's mother put Dashe in front of the brocade mat, and Dashe knelt on the brocade mat respectfully: "The child greets his mother!" I would like to wish my mother a long and healthy life! After speaking, he kowtowed three more times.

Because of his young age, when Dashe stood up, his small body shook.

Li looked at Dashe with a smile: "Our Dashe is becoming more and more sensible!" Look at this little appearance, more stable than adults! ”

Mother and son are connected, and Li, as a mother-in-law, can praise Dashe like this, and Aunt Chen showed an expression of honor.

Dashe's dark eyes turned straight up, but his expression was serious, and he responded: "Thank you mother for the compliment!" ”

Looking at him pretending to be an adult, Shen Muqing couldn't help but sigh.

Da She tilted his head slightly, looking at her curiously.

Although the two are sisters and brothers, they are a big family and have their own charters. They each have their own courtyards, each has their own maid mother, and Shen Muqing has something in his heart, so he doesn't dare to get too close to people, and he also stays away from this younger brother, so although the two intersect from time to time, they are not close.

When Tian's mother saw it, she hurriedly pulled Dashe's sleeve and reminded him softly: "There are still girls!" ”

Da She suddenly let out an "oh" and saluted Shen Muqing.
