Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 40 The Incredible Things
Aunt Xin is one of Zhu Feng's four concubines. She is over forty years old and has the appearance of a young lady. She has no children under her knees. Now she is old and decrepit, so she has been clinging to Li's side all these years, wishing she could do it for her. She works as a cow and a horse, in order to rely on her, and live a peaceful life.

Shen Yuechen brought Nanny Li into the room together, Li's face was slightly gloomy and she said, "Why are you here at this time?" There was obvious displeasure in his tone.

Nanny Li was about to reply, but Shen Yuechen snatched her a step ahead, she stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to mother-in-law, I want to come and see brother Ming, so I asked mommy to bring me here."

When Li Shi heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm and he said: "It's so good, why do you think of my brother Ming? That child has been taken care of by the wet nurses all the time, so he probably has already fallen asleep. gone."

Shen Yuechen had already expected that she would say that, and immediately said: "The concubine can stay with Madam and wait for a while? By the way, I would like to ask Madam for a cup of tea."

No matter how much you hate her in your heart, it's not good to drive her out in front of the servants, Li Shi said lightly: "Xiang'er, why don't you go and show the young lady some tea."

Shen Yuechen bowed with a smile: "Thank you, madam."

At a young age, he looks quite honest, but he has a thick skin. He was busy looking for his "son" on the first day he entered the house, and he probably didn't have any good ideas in his heart.Li Shi picked up the tea bowl in his hand, flicked the floating tea leaves with the tea cover, and slowly sipped the tea without looking at Shen Yuechen.

Aunt Xin on the side looked at Shen Yuechen, couldn't sit still, stood up and said with a smile: "This is the young mistress, the concubine Xin pays her respects to the young mistress."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, gave her a little help, did not let her knees bend, and said: "You are welcome, Auntie."

Aunt Xin had heard many things about Shen Yuechen from Li Shi's mouth, but seeing it with her own eyes today, she felt that what Li Shi said was a bit exaggerated.

The little girl in front of her has beautiful features, a slim figure, and a clear spirit in her big black eyes. She doesn't look like a lucky person.What's more, she is the daughter of an official family, even if she is not favored, she still has a reputation, no matter how bad she is, she is not far behind.

Although Aunt Xin has never seen anything big in the world, she also knows the saying "beautiful women are unlucky". If a woman is too beautiful, she will have few blessings in her life. It's really not a good thing for a seductive woman to come back.

Shen Yuechen asked Aunt Xin to sit down again, and wanted to accompany her to chat with Li Shi.

However, Li Shi didn't seem to have anything to say to her, so Shen Yuechen could only sit obediently and listen, watching Li Shi and Aunt Xin talking about some trivial matters in the house that couldn't be heard from the beginning to the end, without interrupting a word.

After a while, Li Shi finally glanced at her deliberately, and said in a calm tone: "Since Jintang is not here during the day, you can go back and take a nap, why bother staying here all the time."

It was obvious that Li Shi was issuing an order to evict guests, but Shen Yuechen said with a cheeky smile: "I have just entered the house, and there are still many things that my wife needs to teach, so I want to study more carefully by my wife's side."

Upon hearing the words, Li Shi pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you tidied up the new house?"

Shen Yuechen replied: "If you go back to Madam, the new house has already been tidied up."

Naturally, the dowry of 5000 taels couldn't be all placed in the house, Shen Yuechen only kept a few useful ones, and asked Mama Wu to pack up the rest and put them in the box.

Li Shi was not only dissatisfied with Shen Yuechen, but also dissatisfied with the dowry she brought.Perhaps, because Qin Hongjuan's dowry of 1 taels when she entered the house made her feel more respectable, while Shen Yuechen's 5000 taels really made it difficult for her to admire the Shen family.

Li Shi said lightly: "Since everything is packed, go back and rest. You have only been in the house for a day, so there must be a lot of discomfort. Your body is not very good, so don't try to be brave in everything, and you will save yourself in the morning and evening." When it’s time, you can just go to the old man and the old lady, don’t bother, come to me every day to set the rules.”

He obviously looks very weak, but if he gets tired and sick, it will be really troublesome.

After hearing this, Shen Yuechen got up immediately, with little smiles on the corners of his mouth, and said in a respectful tone: "It is my duty to be filial to the elders, and I don't find it troublesome at all." Having said that, She paused for a moment, and continued: "It is my duty to pay respects to the elders, and it is also a filial piety. I am afraid that it will disturb the cleanliness of the master and wife. If the master and wife don't think I am annoying, I am willing to come here every day to pay respects to the master and wife. salute."

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.Li Shi's sarcastic remarks did not leave her any displeasure, so Li Shi had no choice but to follow her wishes.

As a mother-in-law, you still need to use the posture you should have. Since she speaks so beautifully, let her try it.Let's see if she is perfunctory or sincere?
"Ma'am, our young mistress really has a sweet mouth, she's so good at talking." Aunt Xin saw that the atmosphere had eased slightly, and said with a smile.

Li Shi gave a faint "um", but still didn't say a word of praise.

Shen Yuechen didn't care, still smiling gently.

After a while, a plump woman from the outside came to report through the curtain: "Master, the young master just woke up, and the nurse vomited the milk after feeding him."

When Li Shi heard this, she couldn't sit still, she got up and said, "How do you serve me? Useless things."

There are more than a dozen people serving a child, but it still can't make people worry. Poor such a small child has to suffer this kind of crime for no reason.Thinking of this, Li Shi couldn't sit still for a moment, and the next time was about to pass, Shen Yuechen took the initiative to follow, Li Shi was anxious, and couldn't care about her for a while.

After walking outside the door of the second room, she heard a faint crying sound from inside. For some reason, Shen Yuechen's heart tightened, and she suddenly felt a little nervous.

There are four wet nurses, two mothers, and four maids in the room, which is supposed to be enough to take care of a room full of children, but it happens that they can't take care of even one, so it's no wonder that Li Shi is angry.

The child was lying in the swaddle and weeping softly, his little face wrinkled into a ball, and big drops of tears kept falling.

Seeing this, Li Shi couldn't help but immediately turned red.

As soon as Shen Yuechen entered the room, he smelled a faint smell of medicine, and couldn't help being surprised.Children who are only so old already need to take medicine.

Seeing Li Shi's gloomy face, the nurses were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and dared not speak.

I don't know if it was because of the heavy atmosphere in the room, the child cried more and more, and the crying was intermittent, as if he was about to be out of breath.

Li Shi became even more anxious, and couldn't help cursing: "What are you all doing? Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and take a look."

As soon as her words fell, someone immediately responded and went out to ask for a doctor.

A wet nurse knelt down and replied: "Ma'am, the servants and servants followed the doctor's prescription and drank the medicine without stopping to feed the young master. However, the young master is too weak to vomit after drinking a little. I can't feed it at all..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Shi raised his hand and gave her a big slap on the ear, which made her stunned, so frightened that she didn't even dare to cry.

Nanny Li immediately reprimanded the master: "You have no heart, get out quickly, don't stay here to be an eyesore."

When the servants heard the words, they staggered back one by one, fearing that they would say something wrong and upset Madam again.

Shen Yuechen looked at the little person in the swaddling baby from a distance, feeling unbearable, and suddenly said: "Mother-in-law, can I let this concubine hug me?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this, especially Li Shi's expression changed, he frowned and said: "At this time, don't make trouble, go back to your own courtyard and stay."

Nanny Li also tugged on Shen Yuechen's sleeve secretly, reminding her not to be troublesome.

Shen Yuechen fell silent immediately, insisted on staying in the room, and refused to leave with the cheek, no matter what, she wanted to listen to what the doctor had to say.

Ancient medical skills were limited. Although she didn't study medicine, at least she had learned some medical knowledge through reading books. Perhaps, her common sense would be more useful than the panacea of ​​those charlatans at critical moments.

It took a long time for the doctor to arrive, and everyone listened to the child's weak crying, secretly worried.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a bloated figure and a fair face, dressed in silk and satin, with a gold ring inlaid with an emerald on his thick finger.In fact, judging from his appearance alone, he is more like a businessman than a doctor.

As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. The person in front of him is Mr. Hu, an imperial doctor who came all the way from the capital. If it wasn't for the fame of the Zhu family, he might not be able to invite someone as powerful as him.

However, this Master Hu seemed to have drunk alcohol, and Shen Yuechen could smell the alcohol on him very sensitively.He is an imperial doctor from the capital, and there are quite a few people who want to meet him, so he has been socializing these few days.

Shen Yuechen watched Master Hu, who smelled of alcohol, walk up to Li Shi, stretched out his hand towards the crying little man in the swaddle, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said: "The pulse condition is weak, the qi and blood are not full, and the wind and evil have entered the body. It's very bad."

After Li Shi heard this, his blood surged up immediately, and he almost fainted.

She was most afraid that something would happen to this child. If something bad happened to him, it would be like losing half of her life.

Master Hu's words brought the atmosphere in the room down to zero.

Children in ancient times were difficult to raise, and they often died young.Seeing Li Shi standing next to the child, biting her lower lip and looking like tears were about to fall, Shen Yuechen couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Madam, let Mrs. Hu see the child first, you go back and have a rest first, worry about your health..." Li Nanny behind her persuaded earnestly.

When Li Shi heard this, she just shook her head, knowing that she couldn't help much, but she just didn't want to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen took the initiative to ask Ying: "I will guard here well, Madam, please don't worry." The housekeeper Zhang Mama who followed also came to persuade her, looking at Li Shi full of worry.In the end, even Mrs. Hu also stood up to speak, so Li Shi had no choice but to compromise, go back to rest for a while, before leaving, she even reminded Shen Yuechen to be careful in everything.

After Li Shi left, Master Hu also walked out the door to prescribe prescriptions. Shen Yuechen walked to the side of the small bed, hugged Brother Ming in his arms with an unskilled posture, lowered his head and murmured: "Xiao Baby, you are very uncomfortable, right? Are you not feeling well? Look at you, there is only a handful of bones left in the disease, and if you can’t eat milk, what should you do? " She patted him with her hands as she spoke. , the movement is very light and soft.

Nanny Li stood aside without saying a word, looking at Shen Yuechen and said in her heart: This eldest young mistress looks really easy-going, I hope she is not just pretending.

Shen Yuechen has been hugging the child and whispering softly, the strange thing is that the child's crying gradually disappeared, but with a pair of black eyes open, staring at Shen Yuechen's face, motionless, a flash across the eyes Unusual brilliance.

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback by his eyes, a little at a loss, secretly surprised.

The child's eyes are so strange... staring directly... as if he wants to tell something... he doesn't look like a child at all.

For some reason, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Shen Yuechen's mind...but she shook her head immediately, how is it possible?How could this child be like himself?Impossible...impossible.

Shen Yuechen was in a trance when the woman outside the door raised the curtain and replied, "Eldest young mistress, Mrs. Hu's prescription has been prescribed, and the servant girl has already taken the medicine and started cooking."

Shen Yuechen nodded after hearing the words: "I see, I will let the wet nurse drink it later, and then come to feed the young master."

For some reason, as soon as the word "feeding" was mentioned, Brother Ming cried again, grinning and weeping, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly hugged him, stood up and walked slowly coaxing him, then looked at Li Nanny and said, "Brother Ming is probably a little hungry, let the kitchen heat the mutton first."

Mother Li was slightly startled when she heard the words, although she had some objections, she still didn't say anything, and went out silently.

Shen Yuechen immediately looked at the maid who was playing the fan, and said calmly: "You haven't eaten lunch yet, have you? Go down to eat first, I'll just watch over here."

When the maids heard the words, their faces were overjoyed, and they all saluted and retreated.

Seeing that there were only their mother and child left in the room, Shen Yuechen hugged Brother Ming again and sat down, with a look of doubt on his face, he whispered: "Son, I ask you, can you understand me?" ?"

Although it seemed neurotic to do so, she decided to give it a try.

However, something that surprised her really happened. The infant Ming Geer stopped crying again, looked straight at her, opened his small mouth, and responded with a humming sound.

Shen Yuechen turned pale with shock, subconsciously glanced at the door, saw no one, gasped and said, "Can you really understand? If so, just blink."

The infant Ming Geer moved his arms uneasily, followed by blinking his eyes obediently.

Shen Yuechen's hands holding him trembled slightly. If it wasn't because she had experienced such a thing herself, she would definitely feel that all this was an illusion, an extremely absurd illusion.

Brother Ming's child kept moving back and forth in her arms, but Shen Yuechen just stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a moment.

what to do?Like her, is her son also a time traveler?

This world is so small...and so wonderful...When Shen Yuechen first came here, she couldn't understand why God sent her here, into the body of a child who lost her mother, and then, after more than ten years of experience... Involuntary bitter life.

Now, she is a wife and a mother, but what mistake did this child make?

Shen Yuechen lowered her head, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, she looked at Brother Ming and said, "Are you also thrown here? Are you scared? When I woke up, I found that I would become like this..."

Brother Ming, who was still moving around at first, finally calmed down when he heard this. Unlike the baby crying just now, he looked up at Shen Yuechen and shed tears silently.

Shen Yuechen felt the same, hugged him tighter, put her cheek on his cheek, and softly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I am the same as you. Don't worry, you will get used to it slowly..."

Brother Ming responded with a humming sound, and seemed to let out a sigh.

After a while, the people in the kitchen brought over the warm mutton meat.

Shen Yuechen tidied up her emotions and put Brother Ming back on the bed, who knows, as soon as she let go, he started crying in panic again.

Shen Yuechen had no choice but to hug him, and softly comforted him: "Eat some goat's milk. Only by eating well can you grow up quickly."

He is only so young, and he will grow up slowly in the future. I don't know how many years he will have to endure.

The maids on the side were slightly surprised, but they still handed over the lamb.

In fact, they also tried it before, feeding the young master sheep meat, but he vomited it all up.

Shen Yuechen held a spoon in his hand, scooped up a spoonful and blew it cold, then brought it to Brother Ming's mouth, and carefully fed it to him bit by bit.

Brother Ming hesitated for a moment, then opened his small mouth slightly, and took a small sip.

Shen Yuechen fed it slowly, until he drank half a bowl before he felt at ease.

Grandma Li, who arrived afterward, was also taken aback when she saw this scene, she felt that this eldest young mistress really had a way, how could she coax the young master so easily.

Why?Weird, weird, really weird!
