Chapter 363 The Family Banquet Surprise Change ([-])

"Don't worry, my wife's life is hard! It's not so easy to go, no matter what, I can't make trouble for my children and grandchildren during the big festival!" Old Madam Shen chuckled, and glanced at everyone with a slightly cloudy and disintegrated gaze, "One of you Be happy too! Don't give me a sad face, it's unlucky!"

"Yes, old ancestor, the daughter-in-law lost her composure, and made the old ancestor laugh!" Mrs. Xue stopped her voice quickly, and bowed her knees to Old Madam Shen to give her a blessing.

"Old Ancestor, take a sip of the hot ginseng soup!" Duan came over with a small porcelain bowl.

"Fourth aunt," Yao Cunhui hurriedly stopped her, and said with a smile, "don't let the ancestor drink this right now, let's wait until the imperial doctor comes! Jixiang, go and pour a cup of hot water, don't add anything, even tea leaves Don't let it go!"

Ji Xiang hurriedly responded, Duan's face paled when he thought of the bowl of mutton soup just now, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I was confused!" After saying that, he hurriedly handed the ginseng soup to the maid next to him.

"The old ancestor, it's all the fault of the granddaughter-in-law. It was the granddaughter-in-law's carelessness that almost harmed the old ancestor! Please punish the old ancestor!" Yao Cunhui knelt in front of the old lady Shen's bed, lowered her head and said softly.

In any case, she was in charge of the banquet, and Mrs. Shen also drank that bowl of mutton soup. Although she still doesn't understand why it happened like that, but the fault is always her, and she must admit it.

Madam Xiao raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and coughed softly, a look of pity flashed in her eyes.Not only was she negligent, she was also negligent!Unexpectedly, people took advantage of the loophole!
"All of you don't listen to what the old lady just said? Don't be like this when it's a big festival, get up and talk!" Old Madam Shen raised her hand, "Isn't my old lady all right now? Let's talk about something!"

"Grandfather, you are kind, and my granddaughter-in-law is grateful, but she feels more and more guilty!" Yao Cunhui said in a low voice.

"Fortunately, it didn't cause a catastrophe. You don't have to feel guilty, nephew and daughter-in-law. How could the ancestors care about you when no one was young!" Only Xue Shi said again while pinching the handkerchief.It seems to be persuading Yao Cunhui, but in fact, every sentence proves her fault.

Yao Cunhui didn't say a word, simply ignored her and just didn't hear her.

"Kan'er, what are you doing in a daze, help your wife up quickly! Hehe, your second aunt is right, how can the old woman be serious if she accidentally loses it? Otherwise, she won't save the old woman!" Shen Quan laughed.

Shen Quan stepped forward, knelt down beside Yao Cunhui, kowtowed three times to Mrs. Shen, raised her head and said solemnly: "In any case, it was she who accidentally frightened the old ancestor! It's Kan'er's wife, and Kan'er will accompany her to the ancestor! Don't worry, ancestor, this matter must be thoroughly investigated to see who dares to plot against the ancestor!"

After Shen Quan finished speaking, she got up and supported Yao Cunhui to also stand up.

Old Madam Shen sighed silently, her eyes flickered slightly.

Shen Zhen finally led the imperial physician in hastily, and everyone rushed forward to greet him.It was the acquainted Imperial Physician Hu who came, and Mrs. Shen was a very old person, so she had nothing to worry about, so she immediately moved a wrist pillow to support her arm, and asked Imperial Physician Hu to stand in front of the bed to take the pulse.

Physician Hu took the pulse, looked carefully at the expression on Old Madam Shen's expression, asked about the situation just now, frowned, and said, "Where is that bowl of soup? Where is it?"

"It's over there in the dining room! It should still be there, I'll ask someone to get it right away!" Mrs. Xue said hastily.It was only now that everyone thought of the bowl of soup, and many of them felt annoyed. They should have ordered someone to watch over the soup from the beginning of the incident, and don't let anyone pour it or do something wrong right now!
After a while, the maid who went to the dining room to fetch soup came back, along with Nanny Zhou and Mama Rong.

Nanny Zhou and Mama Rong held a tray in each hand, on one was the bowl of soup that Mrs. Shen drank, and on the other was a whole bowl of soup in a large blue and white porcelain soup basin.

The two carefully placed the tray on the table, and Mama Rong replied: "After the incident, the concubine ordered the old servant and sister Zhou to guard the dining table without leaving each other. Don't worry, masters, no one has touched this soup!"

Nanny Zhou nodded.

Nanny Zhou is old lady Shen's confidant and confidant, and she is the companion room brought by old lady Shen from her mother's house. With her watching together, others naturally have nothing to say.

Doctor Hu nodded, stepped forward to take a closer look, picked up the small porcelain bowl and smelled it, then stirred it in the soup basin with a big spoon, scooped up a spoon to look at it, and said with a frown, "Why are you here?" What? Yesterday, the old man came to invite Ping Anmai. He just gave the old lady Shiquan Shengmai Drink. Didn’t he say that the medicine is effective for three days? Do you want to avoid all strong-flavored medicinal materials during these three days? This sealwort, this angelica boiled How could the soup be taken by the old lady? Fortunately, there are sensible people here, and proper first aid was given after the incident, otherwise, hum!"

Imperial Physician Hu flicked his sleeves, "You guys are too careless!"

Everyone looked at each other with sallow faces.

Yao Cunhui only felt that the palms of his hands were cold, reaching to the tip of his heart, and his body trembled slightly.Mrs. Shen was not in good health some time ago. She knew that Dr. Hu asked for a safe pulse once every three days, but she really didn't know that Mrs. Shen took Shiquan Shengmai Drink yesterday!If she had known, she would definitely not have made such a mistake!She had seen the prescription of Shiquan Shengmai Yin before, and what Dr. Hu said was right, the two contradicted each other, and Mrs. Shen was old again, so it was indeed easy to kill someone!
Yesterday she and Mrs. Xiao came to pay their respects, and naturally asked about Mrs. Shen's health, Mrs. Shen smiled and said nothing happened, and then Mrs. Xue changed the topic with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the old lady took Shiquan Shengmai Drink!

But at this moment Yao Cunhui can't say at all that she didn't know that Mrs. Shen took Shiquan Shengmai Drink yesterday.Having said that, one is to shirk responsibility, which is irresponsible; the other is to show one’s carelessness, which is incompetence; third, to be so indifferent to the elderly’s physical condition and not know anything, is to be unfilial!

She could only say nothing about it and make no excuses.It all depends on what Mrs. Shen thinks!

"Then, what's the situation of our old lady now?" Mrs. Xiao's heart skipped a beat, she obviously thought of something with Yao Cunhui, and asked nervously.

Imperial Physician Hu sighed and said: "Now that you are rescued, you will be fine. I will prescribe a prescription and take it for three days. After three days, I will come back to ask for pulse. Let's see it then and talk about it! By the way, in these three days Take good care of the old lady, try to eat as lightly as possible, you can drink ginseng soup in moderation, but not too much, once a day at most is enough! You must not make any mistakes again!"

Everyone quickly nodded in agreement, and thanked again and again, Mrs. Xiao even raised her handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead, feeling lingering in fear.

Master Shen Er and Master Shen Si invited Imperial Physician Hu to write prescriptions outside.

"Old ancestor, it's all bad for the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law didn't care enough about the old ancestor, and almost made a big mistake! It's all bad for the daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Xiao held the veil tightly with her hands, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her voice trembled. Trembling, with tears in his eyes.

Nanny Qi, Nanny Zhou, etc. were also very guilty. They looked at each other and said with shame: "The old slaves are also at fault. They don't know the seriousness of this, and they don't know to tell the eldest lady and the princess!"

They are all slaves, how can they know anything about medical science and pharmacology?Physician Hu ordered it like that, they only knew that the old matriarch should not take the medicine for these three days, if there is something that needs to be taken, they should ask the master for advice or invite the imperial physician to ask for clarification before taking it.Who would have thought that it would have something to do with the dishes of the family banquet!
"Mother, Nanny Qi, Nanny Zhou, if you talk like that again, I really feel ashamed!" Yao Cunhui looked at Old Madam Shen with guilt all over her face, she didn't know what to say!

"Okay, okay! It's not your fault, it's just a coincidence!" Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "No one is a prophet or a perfect person, so they take care of everything! After this has passed, no one is allowed to mention it again! Anyone who mentions it again will be in trouble with my old lady! Did you all hear it?"

"Yes, old ancestor!" Everyone quickly agreed.

Mrs. Xiao and Yao Cunhui's hearts warmed up, Mrs. Duan felt a little sour, and felt that she was not the most beloved daughter-in-law of her ancestors, but Mrs. Xue's chest was full of depression. Arguing with Yao Cunhui about the indisputable method, I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to settle the case with one sentence!

The plaintiffs have all withdrawn the lawsuit, can the lawyer hold on to it?

After Xue felt aggrieved and angry, she felt deeply angry again. The old ancestor's heart was really biased!It's different when the big house hits the noble, even the ancestors want to hold it!

"That's great! It's a big festival, so you should be so happy!" Mrs. Shen smiled, and saw that Lu Shi was still standing aside with a big belly, she frowned and said: "Mr. From the three families, help your daughter-in-law back, I don’t have to wait here anymore! It’s hard for her to tell you and you won’t tell me? How can a man with a body bear such a thing!”

"The old ancestor broke his daughter-in-law! How dare he be a daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Lu hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and the third master Shen also smiled dully, confessed and agreed, and helped his daughter-in-law to leave.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, which happens only once a year! I know all of you have been looking forward to it for a long time! Well, let's all go out and visit the Lantern Market and have fun, and you don't need to stay with me! "Old Madam Shen smiled again.

Where are the people willing to go?They all laughed and said that they didn't want to go and wanted to stay and accompany their ancestors to relieve boredom.

Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "You are all here, I feel dizzy! I can't take a good rest, and you are bored, go, go, it doesn't matter if my old lady says it! The fourth family, a few sisters-in-law I'll leave it to you, take them all out for a stroll! The old family, the second child's family, you all go back to rest, as long as I have a wife and maid here!"

Seeing that Mrs. Shen insisted on telling her to leave, everyone couldn't insist anymore, so Mrs. Duan got up first and said goodbye with a smile, and took Shen Jialin out to wait.

"You all go, I want to stay and accompany my ancestor!" Mrs. Xiao resolutely refused to leave.
