Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 23

Lord Shen is a very particular person. When having lunch, he picked up a vegetable on the plate with chopsticks and frowned: "Is this choy sum? It's all turned yellow, and all the vegetables on the Zhuangzi are for you to eat?"

Shen Ruyi coughed lightly: "Father, don't blame me. I ordered someone to go to the restaurant to order the meal. Because my father came suddenly, the kitchen didn't have any ingredients, so I went to the restaurant to buy it. However, this dish is not for eating vegetables. , the heart of the cabbage is too tender, and it will be old if it cannot taste, so you have to use some of the outer leaves."

Lord Shen took a look at her, silently stuffed the vegetable leaf into his mouth, chewed it twice, did not say anything, and continued to pick one.Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and while eating, she picked up vegetables for Shen Ruyi, and Shen Ruyi also smiled and picked up what she thought was delicious for Mrs. Shen.

The mother and daughter have always eaten like this, but they don't think there is anything wrong with it, but this is the first time for Master Shen to eat like this - it's fine if the food is not good, it's just a rural place, so it can't be compared with the Houfu.It doesn't matter if there is no one to serve him, anyway, Lord Shen has hands and feet, he can pick up vegetables and serve bowls.But the two of them were so defiant, they just pretended that he didn't exist, which made him a little uncomfortable.

When did his Lord Shen's existence become like dust?No, not even the dust, if it was dust, it should have been swept away long ago.

"Cough." Seeing that Shen Ruyi brought food to Mrs. Shen again, Lord Shen couldn't help coughing lightly. Mrs. Shen hurriedly raised her head to look at Lord Shen. Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Father's throat is uncomfortable? Is it?" Didn’t he get angry because he was in a hurry these days? I’ll ask someone to make some tea for my father later.”

Lord Shen nodded with a straight face, and continued to eat slowly.Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment, and gave Shen Houye some food: "This bitter gourd is very good. Try it, it will reduce the fire. You can eat more. The bitter gourd in this restaurant is very delicious, not at all. bitter."

Shen Houye frowned slightly, even if the bitter gourd is not bitter, the taste is also unpalatable.Probably due to the nature of father and daughter, Shen Ruyi also hates eating bitter gourd. Seeing Lord Shen frowned slightly, she immediately put a plate of bitter gourd in front of Lord Shen: "Father, eat bitter gourd. The cooking here is delicious, if you are ready to eat, I will send someone to buy it tomorrow."

As an elegant Marquis, Shen Zhengxin couldn't do anything to push away the dishes, but when he saw the smile on Shen Ruyi's face, he couldn't eat the bitter gourd either, so he pursed his lips and walked around The plate of bitter gourd continued to serve vegetables, and he explained slowly: "I have a sore in my mouth, so I can't eat anything with a strong taste."

Mrs. Shen suddenly realized, and moved the plate of bitter gourd away with some embarrassment: "It's because I didn't think carefully, so does it matter? This sore on the mouth is also very serious. You must have rushed all the way here, and you probably didn't see a doctor. I'll see you soon." The doctor came to have a look?"

Lord Shen shook his head slowly: "No need, I have seen it in Beijing, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor will not be a problem after it is used up."

Shen Ruyi reminded: "Mother, don't talk when you eat or sleep."

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she looked at Lord Shen in embarrassment.In her impression, this person used to value the rules the most. She and Ruyi have been in Zhuangzi for more than ten years, and they have not valued these things for a long time. Today, one of them didn't pay attention, but he showed his bottom in front of Lord Hou. Lord Hou would not Are you angry?

Shen Houye took a look at Shen Ruyi, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "Family, don't get in the way, just don't talk when you have guests."

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to serve Shen Ruyi some food, and told her not to be picky eaters: "I know you like spicy food, but you are growing up these days, so you can't eat too much, or you should grow noodles Sores."

A few days ago, Shen Ruyi occasionally felt a little pain in her lower abdomen. Mrs. Shen invited a doctor to come over to take her pulse. The doctor said that it was time for sunflower water when she was old, and told Shen Ruyi not to eat anything with a strong taste during this period.

Mrs. Shen was afraid that her daughter would not be able to control herself, and she would regret it for the rest of her life. Whether it was eating, drinking water or eating snacks, she had to watch her all the time.

Shen Ruyi nodded helplessly, turned her chopsticks in the opposite direction, and ate with disgust, such a bland taste, it was really boring to eat.

After lunch, Lord Shen went to inspect the room where he was going to live, saw the quilt on the bed, frowned and picked it up to look: "Is this the quilt you are using?"

Shen Ruyi nodded: "Yes, my mother and I are used to it. The cotton inside was just picked last year. The new cotton is soft and warm when we sleep. Doesn't father like it?"

What he said, Master Shen didn't know how to explain it, so he said he didn't like it. Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi have been using this kind of quilt for more than ten years, but it seemed that he was cruel and heartless.

Well, even if he is really a bit cruel, but of course this kind of thing cannot be admitted.

You can say you like it, and to be honest, well, you can bear it.

"Well, I like it very much." Lord Shen nodded seriously, and Shen Ruyi smiled brightly immediately: "Father just likes it, do you want to take a nap? Father came all the way, and he didn't have a good rest when he arrived at his home. You don't need to be polite, just now I had someone prepare bath water, and now I have someone bring it to my father?"

Shen Houye nodded, seeing Shen Ruyi going out happily, Shen Houye reached out to touch his chin, this daughter is quite careful, not caring, but careful.He hadn't seen her for ten years, so he certainly didn't expect how close this daughter would be to him.

Right now, being a bit unfamiliar, but taking care of his meals and daily life very carefully, is already doing a good job.Looking at the new quilt on the bed, Lord Shen stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was indeed soft.

Lord Shen took a comfortable bath, and then went to take a nap.Mrs. Shen grabbed Shen Ruyi's arm nervously and asked, "Let him live with me?"

"What else? Mother, you and your father are husband and wife, so you must live together. After we return to Beijing, mother will live in the main courtyard. If father doesn't want to live in the study, then you and mother must live in the same room. Oh, I almost forgot that my father still has several concubines, but, even for my future brother, you have to keep my father."

Shen Ruyi was very serious, Madam Shen blushed, and stretched out her hand to pinch Shen Ruyi's cheeks: "Damn girl, what are you talking about, you have learned such nonsense since you were so young! Who taught you it! If you talk nonsense, go copy... the Book of Filial Piety !"

Now Mrs. Shen finally stopped Shen Ruyi from copying the Four Books of Commandments for Women, and changed it to the Sutra of Filial Piety or Buddhist Sutra.

Shen Ruyi smiled and made a face at Mrs. Shen, stretched out her hand to hug Mrs. Shen's arm, and lowered her voice: "I'm serious, I discussed it with Nanny Chen, it would be best if mother is willing to have a younger brother." But if mother is not willing, that's okay, I will support mother in the future, mother can just do what she wants to do at ease, if she doesn't want to live in the same yard with father, then drive father to aunt Go there. However, not now, there are few yards on the Zhuangzi, and my father is backing us this time, so it is possible that we will drive people to live in the inn?"

Mrs. Shen pursed her lips, and patted Shen Ruyi with a blushing face: "Okay, I know what to do. Don't worry about your children's family. It's getting late, so you can go back to sleep for a while." , if your father gets up in the afternoon, you can accompany him around."

Even if Master Shen really wants to sell Ruyi in the future, he has to cultivate a relationship with Ruyi now, at least when the time comes, he will be willing to give Ruyi more dowry.Of course, if the relationship is good, Master Hou might not marry Ruyi at will.

She also knew that Ruyi probably had a lot of opinions on her father, and maybe even had some resentment.But resentment, when you are better than the other party, will naturally make the other party feel uncomfortable.But now, Lord Shen is the one who can stand on the strongest position. No matter what Ruyi does, unless she kills Lord Shen, otherwise, under filial piety, she has to respect Lord Shen.

If Ruyi is not filial, she will die in prison with a word from Lord Shen.Even Lord Shen didn't need to speak.

Mrs. Shen also thought very clearly. Although she didn't like Lord Shen very much, for the sake of her daughter, she had to please the Lord.If she can have a baby... Mrs. Shen lowered her head and touched her stomach, as long as she gave birth to a boy, then Ruyi would be guaranteed for the rest of her life.

Seeing Shen Ruyi returning to the room, Mrs. Shen sighed silently. There are eight or nine unsatisfactory things in life. It is simply impossible for the two of them to escape Lord Shen in this life.Unless, I am willing to reconcile.

Turning around to go back to the room, and thinking that Marquis Shen was taking a nap in her original study at the moment, Mrs. Shen was a little unable to lift her feet.But as soon as she thought of her daughter, Mrs. Shen became determined and tiptoed in.How can she protect her daughter if she doesn't even dare to face Master Shen?In the future, she will have to confront Lord Shen Hou about her daughter's marriage.

He entered the door quietly, and saw half of the quilt on Lord Shen's body fell to the ground at a glance.Mrs. Shen paused, stopped, went to pick up the quilt, and carefully covered Lord Shen.

This is a new quilt!Ruyi originally planned to use it by herself after making it!It has to be dismantled and washed if it gets dirty, and it will not be warm for future use.

After covering it, he walked around the screen lightly and walked inside.Lord Shen opened his eyes, reached out to pick up the quilt on his body, glanced at it twice, put it back again, yawned and continued to close his eyes.

This woman has been soft and kind for decades.Such a woman is very good, but it's a pity that she might not survive long in a place that eats people like the Hou's Mansion.Even now, I still can't figure it out, whether I sent this girl out for their own good, or because I was bored with this woman.

However, seeing that this woman has been neglected by him for more than ten years and is still not angry or angry, and has deep feelings for him, this time when I return to the Hou Mansion, I will devote some attention to protecting their mother and daughter.
