After Qin Hongjuan's death, the eldest lady Li Shi kept her agreement with her, brought the child she had worked so hard to give birth to, raised it personally, and no one was allowed to interfere.

Brother Ming is a premature baby, and the fetus is insufficient, so when he was born, his body was very weak, and the doctors said that it was difficult to raise, and there was little luck.

The courtyards of the Zhu family vary in size, but the structure is almost identical, and each one is a typical ancient courtyard building. The Zhu family lived in the West Garden, which was closest to the main courtyard. There are a total of four upper rooms in the West Garden, Zhu Feng lives in the middle room, and Mrs. Zhu is close to him, living in the right room, sleeping in the right room, and settling Brother Ming in the small secondary room next to him, guarding him all the time.

Li Shi can be said to be dissatisfied with Shen Yuechen's daughter-in-law everywhere and unhappy everywhere, so from the very beginning, she was not ready to hand over the child to her to raise.

The nurse just came over to talk back, saying that Brother Ming'er's child had vomited milk again in the morning, and he almost choked and coughed all the time.

Xu Yes, because of the lack of fetus, Brother Ming, who is already two months old, still looks very thin and weak, and his cry sounds like a weak kitten, which is distressing.

Because Brother Ming looked too small and thin, Li usually didn't dare to hug him, as if he was paper paste and would break if he touched it.

The child is too young and not good. Therefore, Li usually treats this child as his own eyeballs and takes care of them carefully, and it is usually difficult for even the old lady to take a look.

Shen Yuechen knew very well in her heart that her mother-in-law Li Shi was dissatisfied with her, she didn't blame her, she compared her heart to her heart, empathy, which mother in the world would be willing to let her baby son marry an orphan girl who was born ominous and was almost abandoned by her family. Therefore, no matter how much Li Shi dislikes her, even if he targets her everywhere in the future, Shen Yuechen is willing to accept it gladly.

No matter what, if she wants to gain a foothold in this Shen family, she must first pass the pass of her mother-in-law Li, and she can't hide.

Shen Yuechen's sudden visit really made Li's face sink, and Aunt Xin, who was originally laughing and talking with her, immediately restrained her smile, didn't dare to talk more, and looked at the new daughter-in-law who had just entered the door.

Aunt Xin is one of Zhu Feng's four-room concubines, over forty years old, with the appearance of a, no children and no daughters under her knees, and now she is old and decrepit, so she has been by Li's side all these years, and she can't wait to be a cow and a horse for her, in order to rely on her and have a peaceful life.

Shen Yuechen entered the house with Mama Li, and Li's face was slightly gloomy: "Why did you come here at this time?" There was obvious displeasure in his tone.

Mama Li was about to reply, but Shen Yuechen took a step forward, she stepped forward and saluted: "Say hello to my mother-in-law, the concubine wants to come and see Brother Ming, so I asked Mama to bring me over." ”

When Li Shi heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't move on his face and said, "Good and dignified, why did you remember that my brother Ming is here?" The child had been carefully cared for by the nurses, and it would have been estimated that he had fallen asleep. ”

Shen Yuechen had already expected her to say this, and then said, "Can the concubine stay here and wait for Madame?" By the way, I also want to ask my wife for a cup of tea. ”

No matter how much I hate her in my heart, it's not good to drive her out in front of my subordinates, Li Shi said lightly: "Xiang'er, why don't you go and show the young grandmother tea." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled and bowed: "Thank you, madam." ”

At a young age, he looks very honest, but he is quite thick-skinned, and he was busy looking for his "son" on the first day he entered the door, and he didn't have any good ideas in his heart. Li Shi picked up the tea bowl in his hand, brushed the floating tea leaves with the tea lid, didn't look at Shen Yuechen, and slowly tasted the tea.

Aunt Xin on the side looked at Shen Yuechen, a little unable to sit still, got up and said with a smile: "This is the eldest young grandmother, the cheap concubine Xin has asked the eldest young grandmother to say goodbye." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, helped her weakly, did not let her knees bend down, and only said, "Auntie, you don't have to be polite." ”

Aunt Xin had already heard a lot of things about Shen Yuechen from Li's mouth, and when she saw it with her own eyes today, she felt that what Li said was a bit exaggerated.

The little woman in front of her has delicate facial features, a slender figure, and her big black eyes are full of pure spirit, and she doesn't look like an unblessed person. What's more, she is the daughter of an official family, even if she is not favored, she has a reputation, no matter how bad it is, it is not much worse.

Although Aunt Xin has never seen anything in the world, she also knows the phrase "red face and thin life", if a woman is too beautiful, there will be less blessings in her life, Zhu Jintang, this child is already born hard, and she has a wife and a child, if she marries a bewitching woman again, it is really not a good thing.

Shen Yuechen asked Aunt Xin to sit down again, wanting to accompany her to chat with Li Shi about family life.

However, Li Shi didn't seem to have anything to say to her, so Shen Yuechen had to sit and listen honestly, watching Li Shi and Aunt Xin talk about some trivial things in the house that they couldn't hear the beginning and end, and didn't interject a word.

After half a ring, Li Shi finally glanced at her deliberately, and said in a light tone: "Since Jintang is not here during the day, how good it would be for you to go back and take a nap, why bother to stay here all the time." ”

Li Shi clearly put down an eviction order, but Shen Yuechen was cheeky and said with a smile: "The concubine has just entered the door, and there are still many things that need to be instructed by Madame, so I want to follow Madame more and learn more." ”

Hearing this, Li Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Have the new houses been cleaned up?" ”

Shen Yuechen replied: "If Mrs. Hui speaks, the new house has been cleaned up." ”

The dowry of five thousand taels naturally can't all be placed in the house, Shen Yuechen only left a few things that could be used, and the rest were packed up by Mother Wu and put in the box.

Li Shi was not only not very satisfied with Shen Yuechen, but also felt unsatisfactory with the dowry she brought. Xu Yes, because the dowry of 10,000 taels when Qin Hongjuan entered the door before, made her feel very decent, and Shen Yuechen's 5,000 taels really made it difficult for her to look at the Shen family with admiration.

Li Shi said lightly: "Since everything is cleaned up, you can go back and rest and rest." You've only been in the door for a day, and there must be a lot of discomfort in you. Your body is not very good, don't do everything, when the morning and dusk are settled, just go to the old man and the old lady, you don't have to bother, come to me every day to make rules. ”

It's obviously a weak look, but if you're tired and sick, it's really troublesome.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she immediately got up, with a sparkling smile on the corner of her mouth, and said in a respectful tone: "It is the duty of the concubine to ask the elders to be filial piety, and the concubine does not feel troublesome at all." Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and continued: "It is my duty to ask the elders for peace, and it is also filial piety, I am afraid that it will disturb the purity of the old lady, if the old lady is not annoyed by me, the concubine is willing to come over to greet the old lady every day in the future." ”

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person. Li Shi's cold words did not leave her with any displeasure, and Li Shi had no choice but to follow her wishes.

As a mother-in-law, the posture that should be used is still used, since she speaks so beautifully, let her try it. See if she's perfunctory or sincere?

"Madam, our young grandmother really has a sweet mouth, and she can talk a lot." Aunt Xin looked at the atmosphere and said with a smile.

Li Shi let out a faint "um", still without half a word of praise.

Shen Yuechen didn't care, still smiling gently.

Suddenly, a plump mother-in-law outside picked up the curtain and reported: "Big lady, the little young master just woke up, and the nurse fed the milk, but vomited it again." ”

When Li Shi heard this, he couldn't sit still, got up and said, "How are you serving?" Useless stuff. ”

More than a dozen people serve a child, but they still can't make people feel at ease, and pity such a young child to suffer this kind of sin for no reason. Thinking of this, Li Shi couldn't sit still for a moment, and then he was about to pass the next time, Shen Yuechen took the initiative to follow, Li Shi was anxious, and he couldn't take care of her for a while.

When he walked outside the door of the second room, he heard a faint cry from inside, Shen Yuechen didn't know why, his heart tightened, and he suddenly felt a little nervous.

There are four nurses, two mothers, and four maids in the room, and it stands to reason that even if you serve a room of children, it is enough, but even one of them is not good to take care of, no wonder Li Shi is angry.

The child was lying in swaddling clothes and crying quietly, his little face wrinkled, and big tears were falling non-stop.

Seeing this, Li Shi couldn't help but immediately reddened his eyes.

As soon as Shen Yuechen entered the house, she smelled a faint smell of medicine, and couldn't help but be surprised. The child is only too old to take medicine.

When those nurses saw Li Shi's gloomy face, they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and didn't dare to squeak.

I don't know if it was because he was aware of the heavy atmosphere in the room, and the child cried more and more, crying intermittently, as if he was about to lose his breath.

Li Shi was even more anxious, and couldn't help but scold: "What are you still doing with a pestle? Why don't you go and ask the doctor to come and have a look. ”

As soon as her voice fell, someone immediately went out to ask for a doctor.

A nurse knelt down and replied: "Madam, the slaves and maids all drank the medicine according to the doctor's prescription, and only then fed the little young master milk, but the little young master's body was too weak, and he vomited when he drank a little, and he couldn't feed it at all......

Before Li Shi could finish speaking, he raised his hand and gave her a big-eared scraper, which made her stunned and so frightened that she didn't even dare to cry.

Mama Li immediately reprimanded her master: "Heartless things, get out of here quickly, don't stay here to be an eyesore." ”

When the subordinates heard this, they staggered out one after another, for fear that they would say something wrong again and upset their lady again.

Shen Yuechen looked at the little man in the swaddling clothes from a distance, couldn't bear it, and suddenly said, "Mother-in-law, can you let the concubine hug her." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, especially Li Shi's face changed, and he frowned: "At this time, don't make a mess, go back to your own courtyard and stay." ”

Mama Li also secretly pulled Shen Yuechen's sleeve and reminded her not to be too troublesome.

Shen Yuechen immediately fell silent, insisted on staying in the house, and was cheeky and didn't leave, no matter what, she also wanted to listen to what the doctor had to say.

Ancient medical skills are limited, although she is not a medical student, but because of reading books, she has learned some medical knowledge, maybe, her common sense is more useful at critical moments than those panaceas in the rivers and lakes.
