Chapter 174: Waking Up from a Dream (1)
The second watch has passed, and the upper room of the Zhu family is still bright.
Old Man Zhu sat on the Taishi chair, clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his eyes. He was silent for a while, and there was a look of worry between his eyebrows, which provoked the other people in the room to speak out easily.
Old Mrs. Zhu sighed softly, also with a sad face, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she said, "Master, it's not too early, let's rest early." ”
When Zhu Feng heard this, he also got up and asked his father: "Yes, Dad, your body is important, don't work too hard." ”
Old Man Zhu saw that they all came to persuade him, and he was a little annoyed: "Okay, okay, don't persuade it, let's disperse." ”
Zhu Feng exchanged a look with his mother, although he was a little sleepy, he still stayed and didn't leave.
Zhu Jun couldn't stand it anymore, he had been socializing recently, almost every day, almost every day, before he could go home to rest. Today, because of the accident in the capital, he hurried back in a hurry, and he would have been yawning and uncomfortable.
Zhu Jun and his wife retired first, and Li sat still, his eyes kept on the two of them, and he frowned unconsciously.
At this time, there were only two old men and Zhu Feng and his wife left in the upper room.
Zhu Feng and Zhu Jun are both sons of Mrs. Zhu, both are biological, and both are their own flesh and blood. However, in her heart, she has always preferred her eldest son Zhu Feng.
Not only because he is her first son, but also because he is the eldest son, the head of the family who will inherit the family business in the future.
Standing up is the rule left by the ancestors. Moreover, the Zhu family has had thin heirs and few men since the old lady's generation. It's the same when it comes to Zhu Jintang's generation, before and after, I don't know how much effort and how many sins I have suffered, but now, there is only one lifeline like Brother Ming.
The worse their long room is, the second room
Old Man Zhu sighed: "Ming'er replied to your eldest sister with a letter, saying that we all know." The most important thing at the moment is that the child is fine, you let Jintang accompany her to recuperate at the Ruan family with peace of mind, don't come back in a hurry, don't ......"
He was halfway through his words, and then he couldn't say any more, but slapped the table heavily, as if he was resentful: "What kind of sin did our Zhu family create, why did we let the children suffer such a crime?" ”
When Mrs. Zhu saw him say this, she couldn't help but redden, and only said, "What did the old man say, what did he say and what didn't create evil?" ”
Old Man Zhu sighed for a while, thought about it and said: "If you live in a stable long house, only then can our family live a stable life." ”
If the long house is peaceful, the family will be peaceful. Old man Zhu has been convinced of this for many years, he has cultivated Zhu Feng since he was a child, so that he can inherit the family business in the future, and for his second son Zhu Jun, he has never had high hopes.
However, rules are rules, and people's hearts are people's hearts.
Zhu Feng has Zhu Jintang, Zhu Jun has Zhu Jinlun, in all fairness, these two children are first-class talents, equally outstanding, and equally excellent.
Old Man Zhu knew that he and his wife were always blindly biased towards Zhu Feng, which had already made Zhu Jun dissatisfied, and he had been very dishonest recently...... It seems that he can't be suppressed anymore...... Obviously, this is also a point that makes the old man very uneasy.
Zhu Feng knew the meaning of his father's words, and hurriedly said: "I'm worried about my father, but my son knows." ”
Li Shi was beside him, first glanced at Old Man Zhu, then at his husband, and shook his head secretly.
It's not a way to go on like this...... After all, it is indispensable to defend against people!
……
Shen Yuechen was in a coma for seven days, and these seven days seemed to Zhu Jintang as if seven years had passed.
Seeing Zhu Jintang's increasingly thin and haggard appearance, Wu's mother felt slightly sour and moved.
Imperial Physician Wang came several times before and after, and the medicinal materials and tonics were not delivered to the ground. But it was long before I could conclude when Shen Yuechen would wake up?
Zhu Jintang's patience was exhausted little by little, and in the end, he was only full of anger.
Imperial Physician Wang had dealt with the Zhu family in the past, and he had accepted the benefits of the Shen family in private, which would hinder Concubine Jing's power, and it was not easy to deliberately conceal it.
It is the most difficult to justify himself, and Imperial Physician Wang can only avoid the important and trivial, and try not to let others see too many flaws. Fortunately, he is now the head of the hospital, and it is very easy to say anything and do anything.
In the evening, Chun Ming personally entered the house to light the lamp, and when he saw that Zhu Jintang was still sitting on the edge of the young lady's bed, after a little hesitation, he still persuaded softly: "Uncle, it's almost time for dinner, the slave maid is waiting for you to change your clothes, right?" ”
Since Zhu Jintang came back in the afternoon, he has been staying here and has not left for a moment.
Zhu Jintang just shook his head, but did not speak.
Then, Cui Xin cautiously came in with the freshly boiled decoction.
The tip of Zhu Jintang's nose moved slightly, it was this sour and bitter taste again, and it was time for Shen Yuechen to take the medicine again.
Cui Xin left the decoction to dry for a while, and then sent it to the bedside.
Zhu Jintang personally helped Shen Yuechen up, let her snuggle comfortably in his arms, and then took the medicine bowl handed over by Cuixin, and felt the temperature of the decoction with his fingers, which was just right.
The white porcelain bowl is filled with a black pulp-like medicinal juice, exuding a strong bitter taste, and just smelling the smell makes people frown.
I don't know how many bowls of this decoction I have drunk, but it has little effect.
Zhu Jintang scooped up a spoonful of black and thick decoction, sent it to Shen Yuechen's mouth, and slowly let her drink it.
Cuixin stood on the edge of the bed, holding a handkerchief, wiping the corners of her mouth from time to time.
However, just when the decoction in the bowl was about to reach the bottom, Shen Yuechen suddenly moved his body, and then let out a "gurgle" sound in his throat, and then spit out all the decoction he had just drunk.
Cui Xin was slightly stunned, and then saw that Shen Yuechen was nesting in Zhu Jintang's arms and coughing gently, looking quite painful.
At this time, Zhu Jintang didn't care about the mess on his body, but supported Shen Yuechen's body with one hand, and gently patted her back with the other, the light in his eyes flashed, as if he was surprised and surprised.
Shen Yuechen coughed for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes, and there was a vague figure in front of him, as if he couldn't see anything.
Zhu Jintang looked at her face, and at this moment, seeing that there was only a blank in her eyes, he couldn't help asking, "What's uncomfortable?" ”
Cui Xin also cried with joy, and leaned forward and said, "Miss, are you awake?" ”
Shen Yuechen's mind was still dizzy, the front of his eyes seemed to be covered with a faint mist, his mouth was full of bitterness, and his stomach was as uncomfortable as turning over a river and a sea.
She couldn't remember how long she had been asleep, she just felt that she had a long, long dream, it was pitch black, she couldn't see anything, she could only faintly hear all kinds of sounds around her, some crying, some arguing, and some sighing all the time.
Zhu Jintang was the first person she saw when she opened her eyes, Shen Yuechen settled down, only to see that his lips trembled slightly, and his expression was shocked and a little joyful.
At this time, Chun Ming came in with a basin of warm water, she originally wanted to wipe Shen Yuechen's body, but when she saw that she had come to her senses, she was suddenly startled, and almost didn't throw the basin on the ground.
Wu's mother then also entered the house, and when she saw that she had woken up, she couldn't help choking.
Shen Yuechen saw them crying, her lips moved, and she wanted to speak, but in the end she didn't say a word.
She had no strength at all now, and she was soft, and she didn't listen to her own call at all.
Wu's mother was excited for a while, then turned around and went out to ask the doctor to come over.
Shen Yuechen reluctantly bent the corners of her mouth, as if she was smiling.
Zhu Jintang stroked his face and sighed, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." After speaking, he looked at Cui Xin again and ordered: "First change her into clean clothes, wash her face, and comb her hair." ”
She just vomited, and her body was full of the smell of medicine, and she would definitely be uncomfortable.
Cui Xin and Chun Ming answered in unison, gently wiped her body, and then helped her put on clean pajamas.
Zhu Jintang stood beside the bed without hesitation, and his eyes did not leave Shen Yuechen for a moment, as if he was afraid that she would faint again at any time.
Shen Yuechen was still a little dazed, and muttered, "What...... What...... How do I ...... Finish? ”
When Zhu Jintang saw her talking, he hugged her from behind and asked in a low voice, "You don't remember anything in the palace?" ”
"...... in the palace" Shen Yuechen muttered softly, lowered her head slightly and thought about it, her mind was full of bits and pieces of threads, and she couldn't stitch together a complete picture.
She still remembered that she sat opposite Concubine Jing, talked a lot, and drank tea.
That's right! Is it tea...... It's the tea she drinks......
Shen Yuechen leaned weakly on his shoulder and muttered, "The tea is poisonous...... Mother's Danger ......"
Zhu Jintang listened to her words and hurriedly reassured: "Niangniang is fine, only you were poisoned." Do you know? You saved my mother's life. ”
At this time, although he talked about the ins and outs of the matter, he only had one sentence repeated repeatedly in his heart, that is, thank God, you are fine.
Shen Yuechen chuckled in her heart, and looked up at him, as if she was puzzled.
It turned out that she was poisoned, which is why she was so uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanlan and Dr. Ge rushed over, and the doctor personally diagnosed Shen Yuechen's pulse, Zhu Yuanlan's face was full of joy, holding Zhu Jintang's hand, and said, "It's okay now, as long as you take care of it, you will definitely be fine." ”
Because his body was very weak, Shen Yuechen, who had just woken up, woke up in a daze for a while, and fell asleep again. But at this time, even if she sleeps, everyone doesn't have to worry so much.
Mother Wu placed Shen Yuechen in a clean and comfortable quilt, and personally covered the corners of the quilt for her, so she sighed softly.
After dinner, Zhu Jintang returned to the room early, wanting to look at Shen Yuechen twice.
Under the dim light, it was still the sleeping and quiet face, but it didn't make him feel uneasy.
Chun Ming came in and asked, "Uncle, I've been resting hard lately, so I can sleep well tonight." ”
Zhu Jintang waved his hand, signaling that she didn't need to be busy, and only said, "I'll sleep here directly tonight." ”
In the past few days that Shen Yuechen has been in a coma, Zhu Jintang has been resting in another room, but tonight, he doesn't want to leave, he just wants to accompany her.
Chun Ming smiled slightly when she heard this, hurriedly packed up her things and turned around and exited the room.
Zhu Jintang didn't want to wake her up, he just wanted to fall asleep with her, however, Shen Yuechen's eyelashes still trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes and woke up in his arms.
Zhu Jintang carefully hugged her and sat on the bed, gently pressed his chin against her head, and asked softly, "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”
Shen Yuechen muttered, "No ......" Then, she gasped again and continued, "I'm sorry...... Makes you worry about ......."
Zhu Jintang listened to her words, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Don't say anything I'm sorry, just rest well." As long as you're okay. With that, he lowered his head and kissed her hair like a dragonfly.
Seeing her wake up, Zhu Jintang's heart was not only happy and relieved, but also faintly grateful...... I am grateful that she was safe and sound, and that she did not let her life be born alone, and it was fulfilled again.
