Shen Shuming didn't know how he offended his fourth cousin - although Shen Shuyan was the youngest among the grandchildren, because her mother Duan Muyan was very strict in raising her daughter, she was still an aunt even if she had a bit of pampering in her character. , I am spoiled by my sisters, and I am usually very generous.
According to the way the siblings used to get along, this was not the first time that Shen Shuming complained, and Shen Shuyan didn't take it seriously. Why are you crying now
Shen Shuming thought about it and couldn't figure it out. Because he was still holding his little cousin in his arms, he was afraid that he would fall when he ran, so he didn't dare to catch up and coax him. After Shen Shuguang was returned to the wet nurse, Shen Xuan also came back.
The frightened eldest son of the Shen family had no choice but to go see his grandfather...
This kid's plan to use his cousin to disrupt his grandfather's school entrance exam failed, so he had no choice but to take the exam. So that day in front of Shen Xuan, I only memorized a small part of "Shang Shu" and racked my brains but couldn't think of anything. Shen Xuan slapped me hard on the palm. Feeling aggrieved, I returned to the Xinyi Pavilion and was taught a lesson by my mother, Mrs. Liu... Thanks to my father's repeated pleas, I was allowed to have dinner.
It's just that although Shen Shuming doesn't like reading, he is forgetful and doesn't hold grudges. Before dinner, I had tears in my eyes and felt aggrieved. During dinner, I saw my favorite roasted goose with bamboo shoots. I chewed two goose legs in one go, and I suddenly smiled again.
So after dinner, Shen Shuming, who was worried that he had completely offended his fourth cousin, told his mother Liu exactly what happened in the upper room today... Of course, he was not stupid enough to say that he wanted to get osmanthus candy. He coaxed his second cousin to pester his grandfather so that he would be too busy changing clothes today and would not have time to take the exam. He only said that he met his fourth cousin in the upper room and said a few words, but the fourth cousin got angry and left. Ask Ms. Liu how to make her fourth cousin happy now
Mrs. Liu heard that he felt guilty and omitted several parts of the conversation, and pieced together the story he described. Based on her understanding of her son, she guessed the truth very closely, and shouted angrily and funny: " You don’t know why you offended your fourth sister? You must be jealous of your fourth sister’s talent, so you made her cry by telling her that she was innocently wronged!”
He pointed at his forehead and said, "You are almost twice as old as your fourth sister. Your homework is not as good as yours. You don't work hard. How dare you blame your sister? If you tell me, you will be embarrassed even by your father and me!"
Shen Shuming said sarcastically: "That's what I said! Who would have thought that the fourth sister would take it seriously?"
Shen Zangli, who was next to him, failed to remind him in time and coughed heavily.
Dafang is the opposite of ordinary people. He has a loving father and a strict mother. Shen Shuming is not a very hard-working person. He has had to help cover it up with his father since he was a child. Therefore, he and his father had a tacit understanding. He was shocked when he heard the sound, but it was too late to change his mind. Sure enough, his mother looked over with a half-smile and said, "Is that really so? You careless boy, for such a big person. How stingy you are to make your sister cry! Hurry up and ask someone to take you to the market tomorrow, buy some things that your fourth sister likes, and come back to make her happy!"
Shen Shuming said dejectedly: "I know."
He felt very depressed because he had been fooled by his mother again, and he forgot to ask about Shen Shuyan again, so he resigned and went back to the room.
Mrs. Liu was left to watch her son go out, then she frowned and said to her husband: "My second brother and my second sister have three daughters and one son. It is normal to pay special attention to Yi'er. But Shu Yan is still young, so she feels aggrieved and sad when she is so neglected." ." Shen Lianshi had three daughters in a row. The year before last, one of his concubines was pregnant with a boy. Unexpectedly, she had a miscarriage within a few months. Finally, my concubine gave birth to a son last year. Love is really like jewelry.
As soon as the third grandson, Shen Shuyi, was born, his aunt Duanmu Yanyu took him to her room to raise him. Shen Lengshi has never crossed the threshold of concubines since then. Both the couple devoted their heart and soul to this concubine's eldest son. body. The three Miss Suns in the second room were inevitably ignored by their parents.
Among them, the second grandson, Miss Shen Shurou, is nine years old, and her temperament is as steady and sensible as the eldest grandson, Shen Shujing, which is fine; the third grandson, Shen Shuyue, although a little younger than the second grandson, is because she is a concubine. , has never argued about anything; only the fourth grandson, Shen Shuyan, is the youngest granddaughter of the entire Shen family. She is also born with extraordinary talents, a photographic memory, and amazing intelligence. She can point out objects and compose poems at the age of three, which is very popular and cited by the elders. Be proud of it.
Although Duanmu Yanyu has always been very strict in controlling his daughters, he has always been very hands-on in their education and attaches great importance to it. Shen Shuyan has excellent qualifications, but her talent is outstanding at a young age. This is also the result of Duanmu Yanyu's painstaking cultivation.
But since Shen Shuyi landed, Duanmu Yanyu has focused on raising his bastard, so where can he find the time to teach his daughters personally? Shen Shuyan was used to being taken care of by her mother, and she felt aggrieved when she was suddenly alienated.
Shen Shuming only said that in the past, the fourth sister relied on her outstanding talent to force his brother to lose face in his studies. The fourth sister didn't care. Why did he care about it this time? But she didn't know that Shen Shuyan didn't care about these words, but about the sentence "What are you doing learning so many things?" - Sensing the neglect of her parents, Shen Shuyan was trying different ways to attract their parents' attention, so she learned this again. Learn that, otherwise Miss Fourth Grandson wouldn’t be such a diligent person who has to learn everything... She felt sad at the same time.
When her cousin said this, she was filled with grievances, and Shen Shuyan immediately left in tears...
The careless Shen Shuming was unaware of this inside story, but both Liu and Shen Zangli saw it.
Madam Liu had a good impression of her nieces. It must be said that Duanmu Yanyu herself did not leave a very good impression on her sisters-in-law, but the daughter she taught was not bad. The second sister and the third sister are all well-educated girls. Although the youngest Shen Shuyan is a bit spoiled and willful, her childish misbehavior is still cute in the eyes of the elders.
Being mentioned like this by Shen Shuming today, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but feel a little pity for these three nieces.
Shen Zangli nodded and said, "I will mention it to my second brother tomorrow."
"You should put it mildly, the second brother has a bad temper. Don't let him misunderstand that the second brother and sister have treated the nieces badly, and it will be bad if they cause trouble." Mrs. Liu said.
Shen Zang snorted, patted the back of his wife's hand gently and said, "Let's settle it down. You have to go to my grandfather's house to help tomorrow. Don't be too tired."
...Su Yuwu and Song Zaishui's wedding date is set in half a month. Nowadays, the Su family and the Song family are all very busy. Unfortunately, the eldest wife of the Song family, Mrs. Huo, has always been a bit fragile and cannot be overworked. However, their second wife, Mrs. Min, was diagnosed with pregnancy just before, so she did not dare to call her. worry.
Song Zaishui is capable on her own, but no matter how capable she is, she can't be asked to take care of herself and leave the cabinet, right? Fortunately, the Song family has many members in the imperial capital. Sikong Song Yuwang chose a capable, smart and good-character sister-in-law from the clan to help. The Su family has more people than the Song family, but the Su family also has more relatives to invite.
Because Song Yuwang is the only son in his generation, and Song Zaishui has only two brothers in his generation. The ones who need to be specially greeted are the relatives of the Song family, the Huo family, and the Min family, as well as the colleagues and staff of Song Yuwang's father and son. flow.
As for the Su family, the second daughter Su Shao, who married far away from Jiangnan, cannot come back, let alone forget about it. The eldest daughter-in-law, Qian, the second daughter-in-law, Zhang, and the third daughter-in-law, Wei, are already related to the three families of Xinghe Qian, Jingji Zhang, and Fengzhou Wei. Among the grandchildren are Rongcheng Deng and Emperor Du Gu... The eldest daughter Su Xiuman married Xiliang Shen again...
There are already six families of in-laws alone, not to mention that all the children and grandchildren from Su Pingzhan have grown up, and each has colleagues and friends. As a result, although the Su family was large, it was difficult to entertain them, so they had to imitate the Song family and invite relatives and relatives to help.
Mrs. Liu is a well-known capable daughter-in-law among her relatives. She is very experienced in preparing weddings. She has not mentioned her children, because outsiders do not know about the former princess Xin Yi of the Di people. Everyone knows that Mrs. Liu and her husband have been married for more than ten years. As before, I didn't even have a concubine. I was really lucky. Naturally, I was the first one asked by Mrs. Deng to help me.
In the past few days, Ms. Liu always got up early to greet Mrs. Su and then boarded the car to go to the Su family to help. While listening to her husband's caring words, she remembered that when the Su family was busy with other things, everyone joked about her good fortune. Now that the fate of husband and wife and the fate of children are both good, when I think about the Xinyi Pavilion, I feel sour, aggrieved and resentful. She felt her husband's thoughtfulness was not comforting but sarcastic, so she stood up and walked away without answering his words.
Shen Zangli was startled when he saw this situation, but he understood it immediately and let out a helpless sigh behind his wife.
While the imperial capital was rejoicing over the marriage of a daughter from the Song family and a wife from the Su family, the Xiangning uncle's house was in chaos - the fifth grandson, Shen Shuxi, had never known the name "Shuxi" since she was given the name "Shuxi" by her grandfather. Although he really had Sangzi's protection, his originally weak body was getting better day by day.
Especially after Shen Zanghui rushed back to the imperial capital, the child gradually became stronger. Although he was still a little thinner than a baby of the same month, he was able to crawl on the huts at eight months, which showed that his vitality had recovered and his muscles and bones were strong. Everyone in the Xiangning family breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, this relief led to something unexpected:
The wet nurse who was taking care of Shen Shuxi placed her on a low couch covered with brocade quilt. She just turned around and ordered the maid to close the window. Don't let the wind blow away Miss Sun's two words. Shen Shuxi climbed up on her own. When I got to the end of the couch, I fell head over heels!
Since it was a short couch, it was naturally not high, and the floor was covered with thick mats, but Shen Shuxi was young and fell head first. This fall actually caused him to faint immediately and he didn't wake up for a long time!
The wet nurse was so frightened that she picked her up and kneaded and patted the equally frightened maid for a long time, but there was no movement. She was afraid that she would die, so she went to report Pei Meiniang - Pei Meiniang almost went crazy after hearing the news, which was shocking. He quickly invited the judge from Taiyuan Hospital to come for treatment. The news spread and made the entire Xiangning Mansion fearful. Even the Taifu's Mansion was alarmed, and Mrs. Su personally came to visit with Shen Shuguang, who was under her knees...
Fortunately, after a few injections by the court, Shen Shuxi finally woke up, because the court implicitly reminded Miss Wusun that she had dropped her head, and if she was unlucky, her sanity might be affected. As soon as she woke up, Pei Meiniang and others hurriedly talked to her, but what could a baby who was not yet one week old understand? Shen Shuxi cried for a while and reached out to touch her head... Then no matter how anxious the elders were, she went to sleep when she was tired of crying...
Because of this matter, everyone in the Shen family was worried about it. Miss Wu Sun was not in good health, so everyone was worried about it. It was finally easy to raise him for a few days. If the wet nurse accidentally fell him into an idiot, not to mention that the Shen family would become a laughing stock from now on, and it would be uncomfortable for him as a relative to think about it.
After all, she is the eldest granddaughter of the Xiangning House!
Shen Zhou didn't sleep that night. The next day, with bloodshot eyes, he called his eldest son, Shen Zanghui, to him and said, "I think Xi'er has a bad life, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise him if I keep him by my side. I used Xiliang to feed him It took a while for her to be named, but now it seems that it is safe to send her to Xiliang as soon as possible. "
Shen Zanghui didn't believe this before, but he and Pei Meiniang were both in good health, but their daughter, who was born at full term, was so difficult to raise. She felt that what her father said was reasonable, but she was worried that her daughter was too young and could not withstand the bumps on the road.
"She is a little child. She is usually carried around and rocked at home?" Shen Zhou frowned and said, "Just let people take turns holding her in the car."
Shen Zanghui pondered for a while, thinking that his daughter still couldn't walk, talk, and couldn't tell that she was stupid. If she found out something was wrong after waiting for a few weeks, she would really regret it. But now the hospital can't diagnose anything abnormal. Just a reminder based on experience...
It is indeed safer to send her daughter to Xiliang before then. After all, after Shen Zhou named his granddaughter "Shu Xi", Shen Shuxi's health did gradually improve.
Having made up his mind, Shen Zanghui nodded and said, "After the Su family's cousin's wedding is over, Hai'er and Meiniang will take Xi'er to Xiliang."
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhouyi frowned and said displeasedly: "Xi'er will definitely go to Xiliang to raise her. If your wife is worried, she can go with her. As for you, did I ask you to go too?" (To be continued)
