Daughter of General

Chapter 23 Good Father

Shen Yulan, I didn't expect Shen Junzhi to stand guard here, but I was a little surprised, then a little moved - and finally apologetic.Yesterday she used Shen Junzhi's feelings for her own benefit.

Shen Yulan thought, in fact, Shen Junzhi might not be a good father—maybe he didn't have a chance before.Looking at Shen Junzhi's appearance now, who can say that she is not a good father?

Just saying that she violated the curfew in the middle of the night to get her a doctor is enough to explain the status of her as a daughter in Shen Junzhi's eyes.

Moreover, it was an imperial physician.Even if Shen Junzhi is a general, it's not an easy thing to ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment, right?
So, she really couldn't help being moved.Especially Shen Junzhi is still guarding her now.

Shen Yulan stretched out her hand to shake Shen Junzhi awake, and said apologetically, "Father, hurry up and go back to sleep for a while, you should go out soon."

"It's okay, I've already told people to go to the Yamen, and I won't go to work today." Shen Junzhi wiped his face, and then asked with a smile: "Are you hungry? I ordered the kitchen to make porridge, if you are hungry Eat a little first, it's time to take medicine."

"Well, dad also uses a bowl?" Shen Yulan was in a good mood.

Shen Junzhi nodded with a smile: "Okay."

The father and daughter had breakfast talking and laughing, Shen Yulan remembered Jin Helai, and hurriedly asked, "Where's Sister He?"

"I let her go to bed." Shen Junzhi replied, seeming to sigh: "She is very attentive to you. She is no worse than her own sister."

Shen Yulan smiled: "Of course yes, we grew up together, so we are naturally closer than real sisters."

"I know what happened to Yushan yesterday." Shen Junzhi suddenly said this, with a solemn expression on his face: "If Yushan dares to do this again in the future, you can just teach her a lesson. You are the eldest sister, and it is reasonable to teach your younger siblings a lesson. In the past , I have spoiled Yushan."

Shen Junzhi's words were thoughtless, but Shen Yulan thought about it carefully before he understood what Shen Junzhi was going to say.At the moment Shen Yulan was about to shake her head: "It's just that children are ignorant, so don't worry too much about it."

"I can't spoil her like this anymore. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be too late for discipline in the future. This time, I will never pamper Yushan again." Shen Junzhi's words were reasonable.

It's hard for Shen Yulan to speak again - she really can't say something as trivial as Shen Yushan.She also felt that Shen Yushan was too domineering.I'm still young and don't teach, and I don't know what it will be like in the future.

Even though she didn't regard Shen Yushan as her younger sister, she couldn't regard Shen Yushan as her own younger sister, but that was the truth.No matter what she and Shen Yushan think in their hearts, this fact cannot be changed.In the eyes of others, Shen Yushan is her sister, Shen Yulan.Therefore, Shen Yushan's words and deeds in the future will affect others' opinions of her.

Shen Yulan didn't want to be implicated by Shen Yushan.So, she hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to remain silent.

Shen Junzhi didn't continue talking about this topic.

After saying a few more words, Huoxiang came over with the boiled medicine.

Shen Yulan took it and drank it down, then rinsed his mouth with the water that Huoxiang brought to his lips, and finally swallowed the candied fruit Huoxiang handed over in one gulp.It's just that even so, she was too miserable to speak.

Shen Junzhi smiled: "I remember that your mother is also afraid of taking medicine."

Shen Yulan didn't answer, but just urged: "Father, go and rest for a while. Otherwise, how can you bear it? I'll send someone over to call you at noon, let's have dinner together?"

Shen Junzhi just nodded: "Alright, you should sleep for a while too. Last night, you should have a good night's sleep. By the way, you should sweat a little. By the afternoon, you should be fine."

Shen Yulan nodded with a smile, then watched Shen Junzhi leave the room.

After Shen Junzhi left, Huo Xiang came over and said: "Yesterday, the master kept watch all night. The medicine has already been boiled, and the master won't let you be called. It is said that the imperial doctor ordered that if you fell asleep, as long as you don't have a fever No need to wake up. When to wake up and when to take medicine."

"En." Shen Yulan responded noncommittally.Then he asked Huoxiang: "When you went to ask for shochu yesterday, were you embarrassed?"

"It doesn't matter." Huoxiang just smiled.

"I'll vent my anger on you in the future." Shen Yulan said slowly, "Now bear with it for a while."

Huoxiang nodded slightly, and smiled again: "I will remember what Miss said."

"By the way, I heard that you were originally from the capital? Did something happen to your family that sold you out?" Shen Yulan asked after recalling what the matchmaker said during the introduction.

Huoxiang nodded: "Grandpa and grandma went there one after another last year, but my father fell ill again at the beginning of this year. The pillars of the family fell down all of a sudden, and there was no income. It was hard to survive. If the house was not worthless, I still have to leave it for the elder brother and the younger brother to get married, I'm afraid it would have been sold long ago."

"Are you the only girl in the family? Why are you willing to sell you? Your elder brother is older than you, so he can subsidize the family if he comes out to work?" Shen Yulan is still a little puzzled: "And why is it a death contract? "

"There is only me and a daughter in the family. The eldest brother is an apprentice in a shop and learns to calculate accounts. The younger brother is still young. The eldest brother has reached the age of saying goodbye, but there is no money in the family. Father's health will not get better in a while. , the family really can't afford to support so many mouths. Besides, even if you don't sell the death contract, when you get older and go out in the future, you probably won't be able to get married. Instead of going home and dragging down your brothers and sisters, it's better to sell the death contract. No matter how you say it, it is better than marrying someone in the future. Moreover, to put it bluntly, given the situation of my family, it is naturally not good. So, I would rather sell myself and give the family an extra two silver to use it around. Get over the difficulties in front of you."

Huoxiang finished speaking in one breath, but at the end she seemed relieved: "Isn't it good now? Miss is kind, she doesn't beat or scold, she doesn't do rough work, so she doesn't have to be a hundred times stronger at home?"

"But if you don't sell the death contract, you can still be free. If you sell the death contract now, even if you regret it in the future, you can't do anything about it." Shen Yulan still feels that there should be no way to sell the death contract.

"What is there to regret? The death contract always costs more money. Moreover, if it is a living contract, the family will still want to save money to redeem me in the future, so why bother? That's fine too." Huo Xiang replied with her head bowed , couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but just by listening to her tone, it wasn't difficult to hear her depression.

"When your brother gets married, I will let you go on vacation in advance and let you go back to help? And your father, you can go back and have a look on every first and fifteenth day of the new year. It's just that you are not allowed to spend the night outside. Not only you, but others The same goes for the girls, each of you has two days off every month, and after discussing with each other to distribute the work, you can go out of the house." Shen Yulan remembered that after selling the death contract these days, there is no freedom at all, so she simply said Such words.

No matter at any time, whether it is a dead contract or a living contract, she can't help but take the person as a human being. She always feels that if a human being is a human being, she has human rights.

Besides, she has no money and no rights, so she has no way to win over these servants.But now it seems that such a method can be tried.

Sure enough, Huo Xiang had a look of surprise—"Miss..., this, this is probably not in line with the rules, right? If the wife finds out, what if..."

"You are my girl, I can do whatever I like with my girl, who can say anything? As long as you don't do anything you shouldn't do, I can keep you safe." Shen Yulan chuckled, Seriously meet Huoxiang's eyes.

Huoxiang's eyes gradually glowed: "It is the greatest blessing in Huoxiang's life to meet a master like Miss."

Shen Yulan laughed: "Your luck is yet to come. Stop crying, people will think I'm bullying you when they see it."

Huoxiang smiled through tears, and wiped away tears embarrassedly: "They must be very happy to know."

"Okay, let's go to work, I'll sleep for a while, and pick some light meals at noon. You don't need to pay extra money, just say that if you don't do it, you will report to your wife and master." Shen Yulan ordered, and then He fell down and lay down.Cover yourself tightly.Only one face was exposed.

There's no way, although it doesn't burn much, but you still have to sweat.

After Shen Yulan woke up at noon and changed into dry clothes.Only then did she know that a major event had happened to the Shen family: Shen Junzhi, who had always loved Shen Yushan, suddenly punished Shen Yushan to kneel.

As for the reason - Shen Yulan's first thought was that Shen Yushan played wild in her room yesterday.Could it be that Shen Junzhi punished Shen Yushan for this reason?
