Daughter of General

Chapter 83 Versatile
Shen Yulan didn't notice anything strange, so she responded smoothly: "Well, what do you like? Where did you buy it? I'll go and see how the other zodiac signs are. If they look good, I'll go and buy them all. Make up ten. Two zodiac signs. How nice."

The blush on Chang Yu's face became more obvious: "Actually, I carved it myself."

Shen Yulan's eyes widened, she was extremely surprised: "You carved it?" I really can't tell that Chang Yu can still do such a thing? !Besides, isn't Chang Yu studying medicine?Why do you still do this?
Chang Yu coughed: "When we were young, we all did things like this to exercise our concentration. For example, my second brother, he draws pretty well."

"Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​learning this?" Ordinary people probably know how to learn calligraphy and painting, right?How did Chang Yu think of learning this?Shen Yulan just felt extremely curious.

The expression on Chang Yu's face suddenly dimmed, and his tone was not as before, but changed to his usual cold look: "You also think this is not as good as calligraphy and painting?"

Shen Yulan was startled, and subconsciously shook her head in denial: "Why? I think this is more difficult. You must have put in a lot of effort to practice this, right? I like these more than calligraphy and painting. Look, the little monkey you gave me looks real, so pretty and cute. Calligraphy and paintings can only be hung, and I’m afraid of water and insects. I can wear this on my body, but it’s no better than that Much stronger?"

Shen Yulan laughed again while talking, "And look, writing and drawing, how can it be as convenient as this? Before writing and drawing, you have to grind ink first, find a pen and lay paper. This Just take it out and start. It doesn’t have to be in the study, how nice.”

Chang Yu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very happy: "You really think so?"

Looking at it, it looks like a child who is eager to be recognized and praised by others.On the contrary, Shen Yulan felt a little embarrassed by his eyes, but she still nodded seriously: "Of course I think so, what's so deceiving about this?"

Chang Yu, however, was overjoyed—that satisfied and happy look really made people feel a little sad.

Shen Yulan felt strange, but couldn't bear to break Chang Yu's little happiness.

Chang Yu's eyes were shining, like stars in the sky after the rain, so bright that it was almost impossible to look away. "When I was young, everyone else learned to write and draw, or to play chess and the piano. Only I learned such a thing that people looked down upon. But at that time, I really liked this. Sometimes I even thought, if I learn I am not good at medicine, so I will become a woodcarver. Because of this, my mother even beat me. She said that I am not up to date—”

Shen Yulan frowned, almost thinking of such a scene - I have to say, in that case, the harm would be too great for a child.What can a child understand?Just know likes and dislikes.Besides, this is just a hobby, is it necessary to be serious?
Of course, it's not that Shen Yulan doesn't understand the minds of Chang's elders - after all, in everyone's perception, woodcarving is just a cheap profession.No matter how well carved it is, it is something that cannot be put on the table.

But how old was Chang Yu at that time?Even now, Chang Yu is still a young man.In Shen Yulan's view, Chang Yu was already a rare excellence.Such an excellent kid, doesn't even have the right to choose a hobby?That would be too harsh.

"Later, the reason why I continued to study was because my grandfather said that wood carving not only exercised my patience, but also exercised my hand skills, because this can make me more accurate when looking for acupuncture points, pinch silver The needle is more precise when controlling the silver needle." Chang Yu said with a smile, as if lost in memory, but Dao didn't mean to complain at all.

If there is really any negative atmosphere—that is, there is some sadness and emotion.

Shen Yulan didn't know what to say anymore.She wanted to comfort Chang Yu, but felt that it was unnecessary.

In the end, after Chang Yu finished speaking, Shen Yulan only smiled and said, "You are really good at carving."

Chang Yu smiled, his tone was gentle, and he tilted his head slightly with the joy of a child: "Then how about I make you a zodiac when I'm free?"

Infected by the joy, Shen Yulan also nodded with a smile: "That's good. Then I'll just wait."

Chang Yu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed slightly, like two crescent moons.

Only then did Shen Yulan discover that Chang Yu's eyebrows and eyes were actually very delicate.Before, I didn't feel it because I was always faint, but now I smile—it's a little surprising.

Chang Yu went on to talk about how to take care of his arms, but in the end he was still worried, and after thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, let me come over every day to check on the situation."

Shen Yulan felt sorry: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate? You don't have much free time every day. Why run around? Besides, I also know how to take care of it."

Chang Yu didn't say anything, but looking at it like that, Shen Yulan knew that he might not have listened.Just let it go now.

Jin He has been by the side without interrupting, just listening.

About half an hour later, Chang Min came over again, but his expression was a little weird.Shen Junzhi didn't follow, only Li Shi came over.

Seeing this situation, Shen Yulan guessed that Guo's situation is not good?So Shen Jun was worried and stayed?Immediately, he asked, "What's the matter, madam?"

Mrs. Li just said: "I've already fallen asleep."

Shen Yulan looked at Chang Min questioningly again.

Chang Min looked strange, and took another look at Mrs. Li, finally shook his head and said nothing.

This naturally meant that she had something to say, and she didn't want to be heard by Mrs. Li.

Shen Yulan thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It's really late today, why don't you just sleep here with me, Master? Chang Yu went to the guest room to make do for the night?"

Chang Min didn't hesitate, and just nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Li is also savvy: "I'm going to order someone to clean up the guest room." After a pause, he smiled again: "It's time for supper at this time, I'll have someone bring it over. I won't come in person."

Shen Yulan smiled slightly: "Then I will trouble Auntie."

Mrs. Li smiled, then said goodbye and walked out.

Only then did Shen Yulan look at Chang Min: "Master, what happened to our wife?"

Chang Min shook her head: "To be honest, I really don't know what's wrong with your wife. The pulse...is very strange. It looks like a happy pulse, but it's not very obvious."

Shen Yulan thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Is there a way to make the pulse of a non-pregnant person look like she's pregnant?" Guo's stomach really doesn't look like she's really pregnant. .

Chang Min shook her head: "I really don't know about this. Anyway, I've never seen such a thing. Besides, this thing is faked for a while, but what about after that? During the production, there is no way to fake it."

Chang Min didn't finish his sentence—that is, why bother to pretend so much?If you really want a child, just accept a girl and let the girl give birth.Compared with pretending to be pregnant, it is not only convenient, but also easier to operate.

Regarding the details, Shen Yulan naturally couldn't explain clearly, so she could only smile: "Forget it, anyway, I will understand when I give birth."

Chang Min nodded, then frowned and said, "Your aunt looks very familiar. I seem to have seen her in the palace."

"Well, this is the concubine given to my father by the Holy One." There is no need to hide this: "I heard that she used to be a servant in front of the Empress Dowager."

Chang Min nodded, "I'll say it. But she is smart, better than your wife. I see that she treats you very well."

"Yeah." Shen Yulan smiled, and didn't want to talk too much.He smiled and said, "Master, will you sleep with me tonight?"

Chang Min responded with a smile.

After they had supper together, Chang Yu went to the guest room in the outer courtyard to rest.The girls are also preparing to go to bed separately——

While sleeping, Chang Min and Shen Yulan lay side by side on the bed, and suddenly asked: "Your shoulder must not cause any accidents again. Be careful. Since you can hit it once, it will naturally make you hit it the second time." The second time. Before it gets better, take good care of it and don’t see outsiders.”

Shen Yulan's heart trembled - without a doubt, Chang Min must have guessed something.Otherwise, such a thing cannot be said.

Apart from nodding, Shen Yulan didn't know what to say.She knew that Chang Min was doing it for her own good, but she didn't want to mention these bad things about the Shen family in front of others.

After breakfast on the second day, Shen Junzhi personally sent Chang Min and Chang Yu to the door, said a word of gratitude, watched the carriage go away, and then returned to the mansion.The first one is to go to see Shen Yulan - now thinking about what happened last night, Shen Jun's heart is still a little tense.

Mrs. Li came here one step earlier than Shen Junzhi - Mrs. Li made a nourishing soup and delivered it over.

As soon as Shen Jun entered the door, he saw Li Shi personally feeding Shen Yulan soup, and he immediately felt happy——Li Shi valued Shen Yulan so much, he thought it was a good thing.For a moment, I couldn't help thinking: If Mrs. Li had come earlier, maybe Shen Yulan wouldn't have had so many grievances.

Seeing Li Shi's generosity and decency, and all kinds of concerns for Shen Yulan, and recalling Guo Shi's meanness and selfishness, Shen Jun was actually a little emotional for a while.

From the corner of Shen Yulan's eyes, he saw Shen Junzhi, and naturally saw the emotion on Shen Junzhi's face - he narrowed his eyes slightly, after all, he still didn't want to pay attention to Shen Junzhi.Shen Junzhi's performance was disappointing again and again.

Fortunately, Shen Junzhi didn't say much, and Shen Yulan didn't spend much time dealing with it.

When the father and daughter were talking, Mrs. Li watched from the side without interrupting.But when Shen Junzhi was about to leave, Mrs. Li said appropriately: "It's cold, master remember to wear a cloak."

Shen Junzhi naturally had a gentle face: "You also remember to wear more clothes." After a pause, he ordered: "You can worry about Yulan here."

Li smiled slightly: "I naturally save it."
