Chapter 16: Rejection
Shen Qingyang's father is the only brother of Empress Shen, because their brother and sister have a very deep relationship, so Emperor Mingde also takes care of the Shen family.
The changes in the Shen family appeared when Shen Qingyang was eight years old, starting from Shen's father wanting to accept a singer to enter the door.
Shen's mother had a strong temperament and resolutely refused to let a woman in a green house enter the door, and the husband and wife even got into a fight.
Queen Shen's acquiescence made Shen's father finally lead the pregnant singer into the door and celebrate with a banquet.
Shen's mother jumped from a four-story wooden building at the banquet and died on the spot.
Shen's father was furious, and even at the instigation of the singer, Shen's mother's tablet was not allowed to be placed in the Shen family ancestral hall.
No one knows what the life of Shen Qingyang's sister and brother will be like later, but only a year later, Shen Qingyang's sister-in-law went crazy before he could reach him.
When Shen Qingyang was twelve years old, his sister, who had been insane for three years, was lost in a fire, and he killed the singer and her two children the next night, and then fled the capital alone.
No one knew where Shen Qingyang went, until the spring of the seventh year of Mingde, when the old prince Yan who pacified the Huns returned to Beijing triumphantly, people knew that Shen Qingyang had gone to join the army alone, and he had already made great contributions at a young age.
And Shen's father hated Shen Qingyang to the bone, and repeatedly wrote to the court to ask for Shen Qingyang's death crime.
Empress Shen may have felt sorry for her nephew, or perhaps because of her own acquiescence that caused the death of Shen Qingyang's mother and sister, in short, this time she did not stand on Shen's father's side again, she left Shen Qingyang by her side.
Shen Qingyang never returned to his uncle's mansion again, he lived alone in the mansion given to him by Emperor Mingde, and only a few old servants at home were responsible for sprinkling and sweeping.
In less than ten years, Shen Qingyang went from an ordinary soldier of Yulinwei to a commander, in charge of the defense of the entire capital, and became the most trusted person of Emperor Mingde.
But no one said that he relied on Empress Shen, because his shrewdness, toughness and ruthlessness were obvious to all, and his loyalty to Emperor Mingde was also well known.
On the contrary, his relationship with Empress Shen was not as close as that with Emperor Mingde.
Some people talked behind their backs, saying that Shen Qingyang was still jealous of Empress Shen's acquiescence to Shen's father taking Geji as a concubine, thus forcing his mother and sister to death.
When Jiu'er said this, she lowered her voice and asked Mei Xue quietly:
"Girl, you said that those horrific scars on Lord Shen's body could be caused by that dusty woman abusing him?"
Mei Xue didn't speak, but slowly stirred the japonica rice porridge in the bowl with a spoon.
If Jiu'er's guess is true, it will once again confirm the phrase "the most poisonous woman's heart".
Those iron needles are all barbed, how did an eight or nine-year-old child carry them?
Seeing that Mei Xue didn't speak, Jiu'er bit half of the crystal shrimp dumpling fiercely and said:
"Phew, what kind of Qingqi person who doesn't sell his body is just a black-hearted vixen?"
Mei Xue was amused by Jiu'er's appearance, and put another crystal shrimp dumpling on the plate for her, and then said slowly:
In this world, there must always be so many "strange women", who are both talented and unique, or beautiful, or charming, but they can all capture the hearts of men.
Even if it is just "weak and unable to take care of itself", it can achieve its own goals by arousing the little protective desire in a man's heart.
So, men think they are the masters of this world, but in fact, many women think of them as fools, right? ”
Jiu'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, and then laughed and said:
"Girl, the slave and maid found that you don't like to talk much, but once you talk about it, it is so funny, and the slave and maid think that you are very right."
Mei Xue curled her lips, looked at Jiu'er with a smile and said leisurely:
"I still have a lot of secrets that you don't know, and I'm waiting for you to discover them later."
After speaking, the two of them looked at each other again and smiled, causing the mothers-in-law who couldn't hear the content of the speech clearly outside to look at each other.
Jiu'er was in a good mood, Mei Xue lowered her eyes, and hid the coldness under her eyes.
Like Qiao Anyi, like Li Jinzhi, like Shen Qingyang, after they lost their biological mother, they either died, or life was worse than death.
She has almost no impression of Qiao Juncheng, compared to the degree of kindness to her son, the King of Shu is much better than the legendary Uncle Shen, but even so, Li Jinzhi is not the same as nine deaths?
So in this world, whether as a husband and wife, or as a father and son, men are unreliable most of the time.
Because of Shen Qingyang's matter, Mei Xue began to re-examine her words and deeds.
She never went to see Shen Qingyang again, and Chen Yiling never asked anyone to invite her.
is Li Jinzhi's place, she also goes to check him once a day or two or two, and most of the meals are handed over to the kitchen steward, she is only responsible for making medicinal food for Li Jinzhi and letting Jiu'er send it to Zhizhuyuan.
For the rest of the time, Mei Xue stayed in the guest house and wrote her own manuscript every day.
What she learned in her previous life, as long as it can be put into practice under the current conditions, Mei Xue wrote it down carefully.
Shudi, where she and her mother lived, ten years, gave her a deep affection for this place.
In the future, she may not have a chance to come back alive, so she wants to leave something here.
After another ten days, calculating the time, Mama Zhang, Yurong, and Ping'an were about to arrive in Chengdu, so Mei Xue went to the outer courtyard to find Chen Yiling.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhijie was drinking tea and talking in Chen Yiling's courtyard.
After the three of them greeted each other, they sat down, Mei Xue took the box containing the manuscript from Jiu'er's hand, handed it to Chen Yiling, and said:
"These are some of my experiences in my life, and they are all very common opinions, and I want to leave them to my predecessors.
In the future, if I can benefit the people of Sichuan and Shu, it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart for the villagers. ”
Chen Yiling was surprised, and hurriedly got up and took it with both hands.
Song Zhijie smiled silently, shaking the fan and drinking tea slowly.
But looking at Mei Xue's eyes, she couldn't help but get a little deeper.
Chen Yiling opened the box, and after only turning a few pages of the manuscript, his hands trembled, and he hurriedly got up to give Mei Xue a salute, and choked up:
"The girl is righteous, and Chen is ashamed. Chen swore to heaven today that what the girl gave Chen would definitely use for the needs of the people of Sichuan and Shu free of charge in the future. If you are negative, you would rather be punished by God. ”
Mei Xue helped Chen Yiling to sit down, smiled faintly and said:
"In this case, I will not disturb the Yaxing of the seniors and Mr. Song drinking tea, and I will leave."
Song Zhijie got up and bowed his head, and Chen Yiling insisted on sending Mei Xue out in person, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak fluently along the way.
He was a healer, and he could see the value of the manuscripts at a glance.
He finally admitted from the bottom of his heart that he didn't just lose to the girl in front of him in terms of medical skills.
There is a long flower corridor at the second gate, densely covered with various flowers.
Shen Qingyang sat alone at the end of the flower gallery, and stood up when he saw Mei Xue and Jiu'er.
There is still some distance from the guest house where Shen Qingyang lives, and Shen Qingyang, who was just able to get out of bed, is sitting here, and it is very likely that he got the news and specially waited for her here.
Mei Xue sighed in her heart, she let Jiu'er stay where she was, and walked towards Shen Qingyang by herself.
Shen Qingyang has lost a little weight, but his posture is still upright, but the coldness in his eyes is obviously less than usual.
Mei Xue glanced at him and asked lightly:
"What's the matter? Your injuries should be almost healed, right? ”
Shen Qingyang didn't speak, just stared at Mei Xue all the time.
Mei Xue was helpless, turned around and prepared to leave.
Shen Qingyang suddenly opened his mouth and whispered:
"Mei Xue, thank you!"
Mei Xue paused, she didn't look back at Shen Qingyang, she only said in a cold tone:
"For a healer, what I do is nothing more than what I do. Personally, it's just a gesture.
So you don't have to worry about it.
There is only one thing I would like to remind Lord Shen, if I have not offended adults in the future, please call me "Miss Mei" or "Doctor Mei" instead of calling her by name.
The word "Meixue" is not something that adults can call. ”
After speaking, Mei Xue went straight to the hanging flower gate leading to the inner courtyard.
Jiu'er secretly glanced at Shen Qingyang, who suddenly turned pale, and chased after Mei Xue in a hurry.
Shen Qingyang stood in place and laughed softly for a long time.
