Chapter II: Visiting the Sick
"Why did you come here today?" During the period of filial piety, husband and wife cannot have sex together, so in order to avoid suspicion, the husband and wife live separately.
When he was in the imperial capital before, because the Taifu Mansion and other businesses in the city were burned down, Shen Zangfeng lived in the city to deal with official business, and Wei Changying lived in a courtyard outside the city with his dependents.
After returning to Mingpei Hall, Shen Zangfeng personally took his eldest son with him to teach, and the father and son lived together in the front guest house; Wei Changying took his second son to live in the courtyard where they were originally and presided over the family affairs.
Of course, when there is something to discuss, whether it is Wei Changying going to the front yard to find it, or Shen Zangfeng coming to the back, it is reasonable.
But this kind of meeting is generally when it is sunny and daylight, and then leaves after talking about things...... It's late in the evening like this, and if you have to come over, you will inevitably provoke some people to chew the root of your tongue.
Shen Zangfeng has great respect and pain for his deceased parents, and of course he pays attention to these places. What's more, after a year's struggle, although the position of this sect is much more stable than before he came back, there are still some people in the side branch who do not give up, and Shen Zangfeng will not give them a handle to attack him in this kind of place.
So seeing him coming over at this moment, Wei Changying was quite surprised.
Shen Zangfeng only saw half of Shen Shuxie's homework at this time, and his brows were already tightly furrowed, and he was not alone, but Shen Shuguang, who was standing beside him and watching together, was also not very satisfied. However, the master who was checking his homework looked indifferent, and ran up to call his mother with a civet cat in his arms.
Wei Changying glared at him, and was about to reprimand him for not being careful, but Shen Zangfeng must have really couldn't stand the perfunctory homework this time, so he casually handed over the crooked thing to the eldest son to see, and said, "I just remembered something, I'm afraid I will turn my head and forget it." So here it goes. ”
"Chenguang is just right, let's go back after dinner." Wei Changying looked at the copper leak in the corner of the house and said. Speaking of which, because of filial piety, for two years, the family of four has not eaten together a few times.
Since he bumped into him at this moment, Shen Zangfeng did not object, and said to Shen Shuguang: "You take your brother to the side house and correct him...... There is something for the Father and your Mother. ”
Shen Shuguang replied and glared at his younger brother: "Don't you want to go with me?" ”
Shen Shuxie suddenly coughed.
This cough made the parents move, Shen Zangfeng wanted to say something, but tried his best to hold it back, and only glanced at his wife. Wei Changying didn't pay attention to her husband's expression, and ordered Lianzhu: "Go and bring the warm medicine." ”
"The child is fine!" When Shen Shuxie heard that he was going to drink medicine, he immediately became anxious, and immediately stopped coughing!
Seeing this, Shen Zangfeng's face couldn't help but darken! Shen Shuguang also showed a touch of helplessness, and pushed his younger brother: "Retire with your parents and leave!" ”
When the little brother went out, Wei Changying glanced left and right, and everyone retreated to the porch outside, but the door was not closed, so as not to spread bad gossip.
She whispered, "What's wrong?" ”
was thinking of the few marriages discussed by the three of them today from the current situation in the world, and they had to think all the way down, but they saw Shen Zangfeng sighing helplessly and said, "It's not a big deal." I just heard that Xie Er coughed yesterday, and I happened to be free at the moment, so I brought Guang'er over to see him, and I also accompanied your mother to have a meal. As a result, I just looked at this kid's homework...... A few streets worse than his brother! If it weren't for the fact that he was young and not in good health, I would have wanted to beat him! I think if I said in front of him that I came to visit him, wouldn't this kid be more and more disobedient? ”
Wei Changying was a little crying and laughing: "Then you don't know that he also caused his cough to be self-inflicted?" Doctor Ji had already told him that he couldn't eat cold food in the summer. In order not to recruit him, the people in this courtyard did not eat with him! As a result, he ran to the eldest sister's side yesterday, and it happened that Xi'er was naughty and fell down while climbing a tree, so the eldest sister got ice to dress her wounds. Because I didn't use much, the next person took a bowl and put it in. This kid stuffed a piece in his mouth without anyone noticing...... I coughed so hard before I swallowed it that I scared my big sister, Xi'er couldn't take care of it, and personally sent him back to explain to me! ”
Shen Zangfeng's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he said angrily: "This disobedient thing! He frowned and said, "He is five years old this year, and when Guang'er was enlightened at the age of five, he was also very naughty, but he was well-behaved compared to him." This kid...... It's time to show him the color! ”
"How?" Wei Changying had a headache and said, "You say him, say that he is coquettish with you, and if he says that he is heavy, he will not quarrel, just sit there and shed tears...... I feel distressed when I see it! If he wants to move the family law, he is still so young, especially last year...... "Her expression darkened," she suffered so much, Doctor Ji said that he had to drink this medicine all the way to the year when he tied his hair. Now that he is sick for three days, I am worried when I see it, and I can't take it seriously because this child can think about it himself...... Can he stand a beating with such a body? You just said it, it's not good to deal with him. ”
Shen Zangfeng was speechless - under the influence of Shen Xuan, he is not the kind of father who is ruthless to discipline his children, but he is helpless in the face of the second son who is not in good health and is not afraid of being scolded and frightened, and he said for a long time: "Always restrain and restrain him, and button the food he likes." ”
"You can scare him here." Wei Changying sighed.
Shen Zangfeng, the second son's teaching, couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being, so he asked about his body: "Have you asked Doctor Ji to come and see it?" Does it matter? I heard him cough just now. ”
Shen Shuxie's poor health is because he was buried by mistake, and the cold is difficult to get rid of in the body, drinking ice in winter may not be a big problem for ordinary people, but it is very dangerous for him, a person who accidentally induces the cold in his body that has not been removed, God knows what will happen?
"Fortunately, the person in front of the eldest sister found out in time, and he coaxed him to vomit without swallowing it, and swallowed some ice water." Wei Changying smiled bitterly and said, "Yesterday, the divine doctor came to see it and said that there was nothing wrong, just take the medicine as usual." ”
He also said, "The nurse and the maid who followed him have been punished, and I plan to transfer Man'er to him as an aunt, and then give him Lianzhu to be an ambassador's daughter." ”
Shen Zangfeng bowed: "Everyone in our family knows that Xie'er is not good at eating cold food, and he swallowed ice was actually discovered by the person in front of the eldest sister, and the people who followed him were really too slack." However, Shi Man'er and Shen Diecai got married, and now they are going to be Xie'er's aunt, will they be distracted? ”
"She just doesn't want to be an aunt for Xie'er, and she has to do side errands. After all, she has been married to Shen Stack for three months. Shi Lin tried his best to stuff his daughter and nieces to Wei Changying as ambassadors, and in the end it paid off. In the middle of this year, Wei Changying asked Shen Zangfeng and Shen Die's meaning, and gave Shi Man'er to Shen Die. And her cousins, such as Shi Qing'er and the like, also have a good home.
Because the lord's family is keeping filial piety, the marriages of the subordinates are all done outside. Shi Qing'er and the others didn't care, because of Shen Die's identity, although they got married outside, they were not decent, Shen Zangfeng and Wei Chang rewarded them with a mansion in the south of the city, and also gave Shi Man'er a very rich dowry for his subordinates.
Of course, for Shi Man'er, the more important thing is that Shen Die's appearance is delicate and young, and his temper is good, and he is still a confidant who has been with Shen Zangfeng for many years, not to mention the future of her, a daughter of a housekeeper who was not even qualified to see the face of the master's family, and a servant who has only been a servant for Wei Changying for less than two years, is a very good husband.
After getting married, Shen Die was assigned as a housekeeper, and Shi Man'er also worked as a housekeeper aunt in the backyard, and now she is working under the Huang family. The two of them, one outside and one inside, can be regarded as the face of the Shen family.
At this moment, hearing her husband's objection to using Shi Man'er as Shen Shuxie's personal aunt, Wei Changying thought about it for a while and felt that although Shi Man'er became an aunt because she was married, she only got married and was too young to be considerate. After thinking about it, he said, "Then first transfer the Lianzhu in front of me to watch for a few days, and then I'll see if there are any more delicate people in the family." ”
Shen Zangfeng bowed his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you are older, you can rest assured that you have given birth and raised yourself." If his body is still strong, it is also possible to arrange two Mama for him. ”
"I'll do it tomorrow." Wei Changying nodded.
The people around the second son have said that Shen Zangfeng has to ask a few words because his wife mentioned Shen Zangzhu: "How is the eldest sister doing these days?" ”
"It's slowing down, but the spirit is still not very good, and it's getting better day by day. When I sent Xie'er over yesterday, I was also depressed. Wei Changying sighed.
In the autumn of last year, Shen Zangfeng, Wei Changying and others arrived in Xiliang one after another - especially after Wei Changying and his party came back, the truth that the male heir of Xiangningbo Mansion could not be hidden from Shen Zangzhu no matter what.
After Su Yuyin personally went to Guanzhou to preside over the acquisition of medicinal materials, she heard Shen Zangzhu, who had heard people from Ming Peitang tell him more than once that Xiang Ningbo and the others had died during the breakout, and indeed as Su Yuyin expected, she thought that all this was a means for the side branch to start with herself and covet the status of the sect - but she had heard a lot, and she didn't see that Xiliang's family letter contained the handwritten letters of her father and younger brothers, so she was suspicious in her heart.
But this kind of bad news is more willing to believe that it is false.
And the return of Wei Changying and his entourage undoubtedly broke Shen Zangzhu's last bit of luck......
Although there are three brothers-in-law and nieces vying for comfort, as well as the immature pleas of Shen Shuxi, who she has personally raised for several years, Shen Zangzhu struggled to get up for the only blood left by her brother after a few months of serious illness, but she has always been sad since then.
Her body has no problem under the conditioning of Ji Qu's disease, but her heart is sick...... There is no way to get sick in the season.
Under such a long-term depression, Shen Zangzhu, like Shen Shuxie, also has to ask a doctor to drink a few pieces of medicine every now and then.
After listening to Wei Changying's description at this moment, Shen Zangfeng was not surprised, and sighed: "If you are free, go to the eldest sister with the fifth brother and sister and the sixth brother and sister a few more times and talk to her." ”
"Naturally." The head of the guard is winning.
When the husband and wife saw that they had almost finished speaking, they summoned them in and ordered them to bring their two sons back to the main hall to have a meal......
