Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 66

By the time he left the palace and returned to the mansion, it was already the end of Shen Shi.Shen Ruyi carefully helped Mrs. Shen out of the palace gate, and gave a reward to the little eunuch who sent them out. Turning around, she saw Lord Shen standing beside the carriage, and several people in red or vermilion official clothes were walking around. talk to him.

Seeing Mrs. Shen, mother and daughter, Shen Hou Ye didn't know what to say, those people turned their heads to look, saluted far away, turned around and left.Lord Shen stood there waiting for them to come over, glanced at the two of them up and down, without saying a word, opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

Mrs. Shen didn't care about Lord Shen's mood, she just talked about what happened to her in the palace today: "The Empress Dowager also asked about the old lady, and I said that the old lady was a little unwell after the Double Ninth Festival and couldn't sleep at night. Need to rest, but yesterday I had a headache again, there was really nothing I could do, so I didn’t go into the palace to greet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said, getting old, it’s easy to hurt here and there, and she can’t sleep at night, often let Doctor Huang took her pulse, and doctor Huang prescribed a prescription that is quite effective, and she will be fine after three to five days."

Picking up the teacup, she took a sip and took a breath. Madam Shen continued, "I'll ask the Queen Mother to reward you. Tomorrow, you go to Doctor Huang's mansion and ask for the prescription back."

Shen Houye frowned immediately, people outside didn't know, who in his family didn't know that the old lady agreed to rest because she was forced to have no other choice, so he had to ask for a prescription for her to come back?

Mrs. Shen comforted Lord Shen with a smile: "Master, please bear with me a little longer. After all, this person is getting old and his body is prone to discomfort. Let's ask the prescription to come back, and the old lady can rest for a few days, right? The most important thing Yes, I heard that this doctor Huang is the best at treating women's diseases, let's go find out first, after all, I am getting old, and I should have a baby soon..."

Lord Shen stared at Mrs. Shen's huge belly, frowned slightly, and Shen Ruyi hurriedly said: "Father, this is really important. I heard people say that it is difficult to have children when you are old."

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was not appropriate to say such things in front of her daughter, so she quickly said, "Ruyi, what nonsense are you talking about, it's just for Doctor Huang to take the pulse and prescribe a prescription for anti-abortion, don't talk nonsense .”

Shen Ruyi curled her lips: "Come on, mother, don't be a kid who doesn't know anything about me, Nanny Lu started telling me these things earlier."

The role of nurturing nanny is not only to teach you the rules and etiquette, but also things like body maintenance.Shen Ruyi had her menarche at the age of 14, and Nanny Lu began to spread these things to her intentionally or unintentionally at that time.From what to eat and what to use during the sunflower water period, to what to pay attention to when you have a baby in the future, what to pay attention to when you are in confinement, say a little bit occasionally, don’t ask Shen Ruyi to remember it now, just let her imperceptibly, slowly in her heart Make a mark, and when the time comes, it will come naturally.

Mrs. Shen's face was slightly red, and Lord Shen gave Shen Ruyi a squinting look: "My lord is talking, children don't interrupt." Then, he turned to look at Mrs. Shen: "What you said makes sense, but tomorrow is New Year's Eve Second, according to the custom, you have to go back to your mother's house, and Imperial Physician Huang probably doesn't have much time, and besides, we don't taboo to ask people to check the pulse of those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, and Imperial Physician Huang might not feel at ease."

There are a lot of taboos during Chinese New Year. You can’t do needlework, throw things outside, or say bad luck before the fifth day of the new year. It’s only the second day of the new year next year. If you rush to someone to ask for a prescription, isn’t this bad luck?

"Then what should we do? After the fifth day of the lunar new year?" Mrs. Shen also sensed that something was wrong, but it's hard to say on the Queen Mother's side. The old man is not feeling well, why don't you rush to ask for a prescription, and avoid this Those who avoid that, do you think it's bad luck not to go to serve the old man when he gets sick?

"Let's go together tomorrow, and I'll post a post for Imperial Physician Huang." Lord Shen also understood this concern, frowned and thought for a while, and could only reluctantly agree: "I heard that Imperial Physician Huang likes to study medicine. Didn’t Ruyi bring a few medical books with her when she came back from the Daming Mansion?”

Shen Ruyi nodded hurriedly. She copied this from Fuyuan Temple. Master Zhiran of Fuyuan Temple is a good doctor. She not only copied a few medical books, but also searched for some medicine pills, powders and ointments.

Originally thinking that the Hou Mansion was in crisis, she could do something to protect herself by reading the medical books by herself.It's just that it hasn't come in handy yet, and the medical book has only turned two pages so far.

"That book is not very valuable, otherwise, Master Mingzhi would not have let me copy it casually." Shen Ruyi said hesitantly, and Lord Shen shook his head: "You look back and find it, and if it's a cheap one, then I'll look around in my study."

Shen Ruyi had no choice but to nod, and after talking, the whole family arrived at the Hou Mansion, got out of the carriage, and went to greet the old lady.The old lady is naturally not in a good mood. Before Mrs. Shen came back, she was the one who entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. The palace may not be able to see the empress dowager.

Moreover, judging from the ranking of seats in front of the Empress Dowager, it can be seen that the status of each family is different. In the past, the old lady was the tallest among the dwarves, not to say that she was the one who stood out from the crowd.

But now, all these cursing and flattery have taken advantage of Shen Lushi, whom she hates the most!

There is another important matter, that is the matter of Aunt Hongliu. The third master has not had a child for several years, and now he has just had one before it is rare, and it is the first day of the new year. Happy, the old lady is even more unhappy.

So as soon as Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi entered the door, I felt a little weird: "Oh, I thought you forgot your surname when you went out, and you still remember to come back?"

Mrs. Shen looked confused: "Old lady, where can we go if we don't come back? Could it be that the old lady thinks that we should live in the palace?" As she spoke, her expression changed: "You can't talk nonsense, Mr. Ma'am, although our Hou Mansion is also a big family, we should be more cautious about what to say and what not to say..."

The old lady's face darkened suddenly: "You mean I shouldn't have said what I just said?"

Madam Shen shrank her neck, lowered her head and muttered: "Then what should I say?"

The old lady was choked immediately, and when she looked again, Lord Shen's complexion was already darker than hers.There are only two reasons for this woman to stay in the harem, one is a junior girl in the harem concubine's family, and the other is the emperor's concubine.Mrs. Shen is not young anymore, the Shen family in the harem doesn't have many women.

Let Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi stay in the harem, what does that mean?
"I think my mother's illness is getting worse. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover after resting for a year, so let's rest for a few more days." Lord Shen was impatient to argue with them, and made a quick decision, then got up : "We came back late, I'm afraid my mother has already eaten dinner, so we won't delay my mother's rest, mother, you go to bed early, we will go back first."

After finishing speaking, he frowned and looked at Mrs. Shen: "Are you still leaving?"

Mrs. Shen nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, please wait a moment, Lord Hou."

After saluting the old lady, Mrs. Shen hurriedly turned around and followed Lord Shen. The old lady's chest heaved in anger, and Aunt Qiu couldn't see Lord Shen and the others beside her, so she sighed: "Old lady, you Why bother? Seeing that Master Hou has already regarded Shen Lushi and the eldest girl as treasures, why do you have to stir up the anger of Master Hou again and again? The servant has already become like this, if you provoke me again After leaving Lord Hou, I'm afraid it will be the days in the Hou Mansion..."

Qiu Momo hesitated to speak, but the old lady sneered angrily: "He dares! I'm his own mother! Now he's just messing around because I don't want to argue with him. Wait for me one day..."

Viciousness flashed in the old lady's eyes. Although her words were firm, Mother Qiu's words still left traces in the old lady's heart.Even Qiu Momo, who has been serving her for many years, he can strike mercilessly. If he really annoyed him one day, he might have to lock her up as his own mother.

Her own son, could she not understand?That man was cruel and ruthless since he was a child.When his grandfather died, he didn't even shed a tear.From then on, a rift arose in her heart, and she separated from this son.The two mother and son walked farther and farther away. Now they hate each other when they see each other, but they can't beat each other to death with a stick. It's really suffocating.

Look at Shen Lushi, don't look at him now that he is willing to protect him. Ten years ago, didn't he send him to Zhuangzi without saying a word, and then he ignored him for more than ten years, and didn't even inquire about the news?

Even if the tiger's poison does not eat children, Shen Ruyi, a daughter, has no trace in his heart, and she, an old and immortal mother, is even more useless, right?

Pursing her lips, the old lady ordered in a deep voice: "Go and call the third son and his wife over."

Nanny Qiu hurriedly responded, but didn't dare to order anyone, she bumped her feet to invite the third master and Mrs. Shen.

Of course, the matter of Changchun Garden cannot be hidden from Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen.Lord Shen didn't say a word, his expression didn't change, but Mrs. Shen guessed a bit: "It's about Hongliu's incident. Once this incident happened, the third brother and the third younger sister might have a knot in their hearts, and the husband and wife would not get along, but It's a big deal, probably the old lady is here to talk to them."

Shen Ruyi squeezed her arm: "Mother, the third aunt will take care of the third room, so don't worry about it." As she said that, she leaned over to Lord Shen, thumping her back and squeezing her shoulders: "Father, Shall I pour you tea?"

Shen Houye was very disdainful: "What's the matter with you? But did you cause trouble in the palace today?"
