Chapter 68: Greed Depends on Appetite!
This time, not only Shen Dong, but even the Zhao family raised their heads in shock, they all knew that Shen Xuanye was studying the prescription, the Zhao family had a queen, and it was not strange to know the inside story, but it would be wrong to let Shen Xuanye show the research prescription to the Zhao family!
Shen Dong's expression was a little stiff: "Mother-in-law, the prescription for treating the plague has been studied by the Imperial Court for more than ten years, but there has been no progress until now. Although Xuan Ye learned some medical skills from Master Chen, he couldn't compare with the Imperial Doctor, he ......"
Feng Shi looked at Shen Dong with a smile, with a faint smile on his slightly old lips: "Aunt Shen, I never say groundless words, since I dare to open my mouth, I know something, you are now a prime minister, but you are just a prime minister, whether you can eat some things depends on your personal appetite." ”
Shen Dong's eyes sank suddenly: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"The prescription for the treatment of the plague can save thousands of people, once the people know that the prescription is provided by your Shen family, the Shen family can definitely leap up with the gratitude of the people, and it is not impossible for the prestige to surpass my Zhao family." Feng Shi looked coldly at the sunlight shining in from the door, "When the time comes, how can the royal family sit idly by?" ”
Shen Dong gritted his teeth slightly, he knew that what Feng said was reasonable, but how could he be willing to give such a great credit to people?
Seeing that he seemed to be moved by what he said, Feng continued: "And our Zhao family is different, our Zhao family itself is a relative of the emperor, and the queen is the daughter of the Zhao family. ”
Shen Ninghua stroked his sleeves slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he was really thick-skinned, he was clearly acting as a bandit, but he wanted to put on a glamorous shell, which was really shameless.
Shen Dong shook his head slightly: "Mother-in-law, if Xuan Ye can develop a prescription for the treatment of the plague, it will naturally be no problem, but unfortunately his ability is limited, and he has no clue at all now, which disappoints his mother-in-law." "Even if you have to compromise, you have to get the last benefit!
The original curvature of the corners of Feng's lips was instantly flattened: "Since this is the case, then there is nothing to do, farewell." "I don't know what to do!
"Mother-in-law, I'll prepare a banquet, why don't you finish it and leave?"
"I don't have that blessing, just let Rue Xiang and Linghan send me away." Feng snorted coldly, and took Zhao and Shen Linghan to leave surrounded by a group of maids.
Shen Dong sat on the chair and pinched his eyebrows very tiredly. Shen Ninghua personally poured a cup of tea and sent it to Shen Dong: "Father, drink some tea and rest." ”
Shen Ninghua's voice was not slow, it seemed to have a reassuring power, Shen Dong looked up at her: "Ninghua, I have wronged you in today's matter." ”
Shen Ninghua shook her head with a smile: "My grandmother has a misunderstanding about me, so she has some prejudices, which is understandable." "It's understandable, but it's never forgiving.
"Well," Shen Dong nodded with relief, took a sip of tea, "I knew that continuing to study the prescription might attract the red eyes of others, but I didn't expect others to move, the Zhao family couldn't help it." Once the prescription is developed, it will be equivalent to embarking on a broad road, and in the future......" seemed to feel that he had said too much, Shen Dong stopped suddenly, raised his eyes and stared at Shen Ninghua tightly.
Shen Ninghua looked as usual, as if he didn't understand: "Father, don't worry too much, it's better to take care of your body, you are the head of the Shen family, and you are the emperor's minister of the humerus, now that the country is in danger, you should take care of yourself even more in order to save thousands of people." ”
Shen Dong nodded, and glanced at Shen Ninghua with a sigh: "Ninghua, you are becoming more and more like your mother." ”
Shen Ninghua's heart jumped, and she tried to calm her tone as much as possible: "Mother, she ...... What kind of person is he? ”
Shen Dong's expression was a little dazed, a smile first rose on his lips, and then a trace of resentment and unwillingness rose, and finally slowly calmed down, and only after a while did he raise his head, looking very tired: "You go back, the house has not been quiet in the past two days, you pay more attention." ”
Without hearing the news of his mother from Shen Dong's mouth, Shen Ninghua felt anxious for a while, but at this time, he definitely couldn't hold his breath, so he could only force himself to endure it.
When she returned to Yingyue Residence, Qingque and Hongling had already gotten up and were cleaning the room. Seeing her come in, all eyes lit up and looked at her: "Miss, you're back." ”
Shen Ninghua was stunned: "Why did you get up, dare to toss blindly because of your good body?" You don't want this kung fu, do you? ”
Hongling shrunk her neck and bowed her head: "Miss, we are not around you for fear that you will not be used to it." ”
"And I'm going to thank you?"
Hongling knew that Shen Ninghua was really angry, so she hurriedly ran to her, and the wound behind her hurt so much that she bared her teeth for a while: "Miss, don't be angry, we heard that the people who beat us yesterday were killed, and we were very happy, so we wanted to serve Miss well to express our gratitude." ”
Shen Ninghua glared at her: "Okay, you don't need to express any thanks, hurry up and go back to lie down and take the medicine twice." ”
After settling the four maids, Shen Ninghua sat on the soft couch by the window and frowned.
Bai Wei's face was still pale, and seeing Shen Ninghua's somewhat sad look, he asked softly, "Miss, but what happened in the front yard just now?" ”
"It's nothing, the old lady of the Zhao family, the Feng family, is here."
"The Zhao family? Aren't the eldest lady and the second lady going to be proud? ”
Shen Ninghua didn't answer, but Bai Wei and a few of them could also guess the result, and they were indignant in their hearts, how many things did Shen Linghan do to frame Miss, just because she had the Zhao family behind her, she could do whatever she wanted?
There was a movement at the door, and a sturdy figure jumped into the room.
"Brother Liuyun, are you here?" Seeing the comer, Hongling immediately shouted happily.
The man was dressed in a black warrior shirt, and his every move was strong and powerful: "I've seen Miss." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled softly: "Hmm." ”
Liuyun got up and looked at the pale Bai Wei, his eyes were full of concern: "Is Miss Bai Wei okay?" ”
No matter how calm Bai Wei was, he also blushed at this time: "It's okay, thank you Brother Liuyun for your concern." ”
Liuyun nodded, and the tall man stood there with a little more cramped taste: "It's okay...... It's okay, I already helped you last night...... I've helped you out, and I've gotten rid of those who are responsible for the staff. ”
Bai Wei smiled: "Thank you, Brother Liuyun." ”
Liuyun tugged at the corners of his lips stiffly: "No thanks, whoever bullies you again in the future will come to me, and I will help you get angry." Miss, I'll go back first. ”
"Okay, Xuanlin, you bother to teach him something to save his life, don't be implicated in the future."
"Yes, miss."
After Liuyun left, Hongling smiled and joked about Bai Wei, and was glared at by Bai Wei several times.
Shen Ninghua walked to the window and looked at the courtyard on the side, and Zhao was sent back, followed by Qian and Wu left by Feng.
"Miss, do you have something on your mind?" Bai Wei asked softly.
Shen Ninghua looked at Zhao's rejuvenated face, like an outsider, there was no emotion in his eyes: "With the Zhao family here, as long as Zhao Yunxiang and Shen Linghan don't break the sky, the Zhao family will help them come down." ”
Hongling was uneven: "Then our previous efforts were all in vain?" ”
Bai Wei shook his head at her, at this time, it was better not to talk too much to make the young lady feel embarrassed. Bizhu comforted: "Miss, don't worry too much, although we can't do anything to them now, but they are helpless against us, and we will slowly deal with it in the future." ”
Shen Ninghua shook his head, and there seemed to be layers of fire reflected in his eyes: "Cut through the mess quickly, I don't want to be trapped in the backyard of the Shen family all the time, only by stepping on this place can I get out." ”
"Miss, have you thought of a way?"
"Things in the court are changing rapidly, compared to a prestigious prime minister, the dictatorship of relatives is what makes the emperor even more jealous, since the Zhao family is powerful and covers the sky with one hand, then I will stab him this day, and see if they can resist it when the time comes!"
Bai Wei and the others felt a cold chill coming, but their eyes were firm, as long as the young lady wanted to do something, they would do their best.
In the next seven days, the Shen family was very calm on the surface, but in private, there were various dark tides.
The atmosphere above the court became more and more condensed, the emperor Baili Qingcang was angry many times, and the civil and military officials trembled, one by one, like quails drenched in the rain, trembling and unable to say why.
Chen Yun, the head of the Tai Hospital, stayed in the palace all day long, and almost went through all the medical books of the Da'an Dynasty. However, after spending a lot of effort, I still can't find the slightest effective solution.
The plague in Heijo grew worse and worse, with countless dead and wounded.
Shen Ninghua's brows furrowed tightly after receiving the news, the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous Pingcheng became, and it was time to make a move.
After another two days, the atmosphere of the entire Da'an Dynasty was scorched, and most of the Jiangnan was already in danger, and the displaced people fled in all directions, hoping to find a way to live.
The Zhao family suddenly broke out a shocking news, and with the help of the Zhao family's leader, Shen Xuanye and everyone finally found some eyebrows to treat the plague. As soon as this news came out, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the emperor summoned Zhao Kun, the head of the Zhao family, Shen Dong, Shen Xuanye, and officials from various ministries overnight. It took a day and a night before Shen Dong and Shen Xuanye returned to Shen's house.
Shen Ninghua and Su Shi sat in the garden, and when they saw the two people striding towards the study from a distance, they turned their heads in unison.
After a while, Su Shi picked up the teacup and spoke: "I just saw the eldest brother and Xuan Ye's nephew, I think it is the Shen family's happy event is approaching." ”
Shen Ninghua raised his head, Su Shi had a smile on his face, but the smile was extremely light, and if he carefully distinguished, he could see the hidden worry hidden behind it: "Auntie's expression is not like a happy look. ”
Su Shi flicked his fingers, and the tea spilled out and poured it on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Heh, if you have a good life, you have to run to the hot pot to suffer, how can you make people happy." ”
Shen Ninghua watched the water droplets on the table slowly blur away and then be air-dried: "My father wanted to use the wind to help him soar, but he forgot that sometimes the wind is too strong but it will take people's lives." ”
Su Shi sighed: "It turned out that I heard that the Zhao family wanted to get the prescription from Xuan Ye, and then there was no news, I thought it was Shen Xuanye who didn't find the prescription, but I didn't expect to hear this amazing news just after I put my mind at ease." ”
"What the Zhao family wants, even if there is a way to buy it out in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, the Shen family's little water is not enough for the Zhao family to see." Feng was politely refused, how could he be willing to let the Shen family swallow the fat in front of him alone, and kept sending people to entangle, Shen Dong didn't dare to really tear his face, so he could only try his best to get benefits, and it was really time to see that the news of the prescription had been developed, and the two families had a good calculation.
Su Shi looked at the peony blooming next to the steps, and sighed faintly: "Yes." ”
Shen Ninghua faintly hooked the corners of her lips, and her beautiful face was slightly transparent in the sun: "It's okay to be greedy, but it's good not to hold on to this piece of bread." Auntie doesn't have to worry too much, just look at it.
