The next day, Ji Gu, accompanied by his granddaughter Cao Ya, came over to treat Shen Shuxi.
The conclusion he drew was similar to that drawn by Huang. They both believed that Shen Shuxi did not have any disease, and the only problem was in the mother's womb. Congenital deficiencies can only rely on careful care the day after tomorrow, and there is no way to solve them overnight.
After hearing the diagnosis, Shen Zangzhu was disappointed and relieved. The disappointment was that there was no way to make Shen Shuxi stronger immediately; but the relief was that both Huang and Ji Gu said that Shen Shuxi had no physical condition except that she was now weaker. As for other questions, both of them said that as long as they take good care of themselves... the thing that wealthy people are least afraid of is taking good care of themselves.
According to what these two people said, as long as they live with their niece in Xiliang for a few years, they can watch her grow strong.
Shen Zangzhu sighed secretly.
After thanking Ji Gu and arguing with him for a while when he offered the medical supplies, Wei Changying stood up in person to see his grandparents out of the house. On the way, he saw Cao Ya looking back frequently. Wei Changying was curious and followed her line of sight. He saw that she seemed to be looking at... Shen Shuyan
Shen Shuyan was so angry after her parents neglected her, and the elders were afraid that if she continued to stay in the Imperial City, the hatred would deepen, so they took advantage of Shen Zangzhu to accompany Shen Shuxi to Xiliang to grow up. Come on, I sent her to come with me to relax. So when they got here, when Shen Zangzhu explained the reason, Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying didn't dare to neglect her.
Today, Ji Gu came to see Shen Shuxi. Wei Changying and Shen Zangzhu came to entertain him, and of course they had to take Shen Shuyan with them. In fact, Shen Shuyan and Cao Ya are about the same age... But Wei Changying never thought that the two of them could play together. After all, not to mention the difference in status, although Cao Ya behaved well-behaved and sensible in front of her, in reality Qi Shan was a fierce and barbaric person, but he had already reported these things when he was still the general manager of Jiyuan.
Shen Shuyan is a bit cunning, eccentric and temperamental, and her temperament is completely different from Cao Ya's.
Seeing Cao Ya looking back frequently at this moment, Wei Changying felt curious, thinking that Cao Ya wanted to play with his peers, but after taking a closer look, he realized that Cao Ya was actually looking at the pair of Begonia beads on Shen Shuyan's head. .
Wei Changying managed to pick out the smallest pair of pearl flowers for Shen Shuyan to wear from his own wardrobe. Shen Shuyan's hair style today was also done by Wei Changying himself - not all of them were Wei Changying's. After listening to Shen Zangzhu's words, Ying deliberately showed her enthusiasm for her niece. She originally had a good impression of her niece, and since her biological son Shen Shuguang was not around, she loved the child even more.
Now that my little niece is here, I have nothing to do anyway, so I simply spend my time on my niece and take care of her daily life.
Realizing that Cao Ya seemed to like the pearl flowers that Shen Shuyan was wearing, Wei Changying smiled slightly, although she thought Cao Ya was too barbaric and disrespectful to her elders. But after all, she was not their own child. Ji Gu and Mu Chunmian didn't take any harsh measures to correct her, and Wei Changying didn't have to waste the effort. Wei Changying was still willing to satisfy the good-looking little girl's little wish. He sent Ji Gu and his grandson out, and then told Zhu Yi to compare the begonia beads she was wearing in her dowry. Send a pair to Cao Ya.
Zhu Yi searched around, and when he came back he reported in embarrassment: "Young Madam, there seems to be just such a pair of Begonia Pearls?"
"Then tear down two begonia beads similar to these and find someone to save another pair." Wei Changying said, "I saw that the master servant of the Young Fort never left the pair of begonias when he saw Yan'er. , obviously she likes it very much. Speaking of which, I have seen her a few times. Although I have seen her wearing necklaces and other accessories, I have never seen her wearing any beautiful beads. It is always a little girl. It’s not worthwhile to like flowers and plants, so why should she just watch helplessly?”
Zhu Yi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Young Madam is really kind-hearted." But in his heart, he thought of Wei Changying's generosity. Even if an ordinary lady noticed Cao Ya's eyes, she would just pretend not to know - Wei Changying gave it to his niece Can things be bad? Those two begonia flowers were collected from fine jade. In exchange for silver, it would be worth two months of Zhu Yi's life. How could it make sense to give it away just to make a little girl who was not a relative and from a humble background happy
Not to mention that Cao Ya is a vulgar girl from the countryside. If you are mean, it would be nice if you don't say in private that she has no rules, looks around when she comes to other people's homes, and is not a daughter of a good family.
But Zhu Yi didn't know that she followed Wei Changying's instructions and sent a pair of begonia beads that were 70% similar to those on Shen Shuyan's head. After arriving at Jiyuan, Ji Gu did not immediately give them to Cao Ya. He put it on, picked up one, squinted his eyes, and looked at Guangzi carefully for a moment, and then said to his granddaughter, who was rarely standing quietly aside: "Look at the colors of these jade stones, they are consistent at first glance. You can tell by just looking at the different shades. It's obviously not the same pearl flower, but several of the same color have been merged into one."
Cao Ya glanced at it with little interest and said, "I don't like these flowers and plants!"
"I know!" Ji Gu impatiently pushed the beaded flower aside and said, "But if you took a few glances at the beaded flower worn by the little girl from the Shen family today, the Wei family also gave you a similar one. Come as a pair. Looking at the situation, she actually doesn’t have the same pair there. She just thought you were interested in that kind of pair and specially found someone to make them for you overnight. This shows that Mrs. Wei doesn’t have the same impression of you. Very bad!”
Cao Ya asked casually: "What do you want me to do?"
Ji Gu snorted: "It's not you! It's your uncle!"
"Hey, wasn't Uncle Lai driven back to Mengshan by you?" Cao Ya asked doubtfully, "When I left, I knelt in front of you all night and you ignored me. Why do you think it's impossible without him and plan to coax him back?"
Ji Gu said angrily: "I'm talking about your direct cousin! Uncle Qubing who is related by blood! Not that white-eyed wolf Lai Dayong!"
"Isn't the white-eyed wolf Aunt Lai?" Cao Ya rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, my aunt didn't do anything. She just fell in love with a pretty boy without your permission. There's nothing we can do about it. Who told you not to find a husband for her? I heard from the people in the fort that this girl was not allowed to stay in college, and it was not your own fault if she stayed here and stayed there. "
"You know nothing!" Ji Gu sneered, "I fed her, clothed her, taught her all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, and trained her in both civil and military skills... Even a fan in the brothel will appreciate my kindness. Picture report, when Xiao arrives, she should be open to receive customers! What's more, I haven't asked her to be a fan yet! If it weren't for me, this little bitch would have died in Mengshan with her brother more than ten years ago. Come now? It turns out that she always felt that I owed her! I should have just broken her legs and sold them to a brothel to make a lot of money!"
Because Cao Ya was young, Lai Qinniang had already been sent by Ji Gu to Taohua County to help her brother Lai Dayong run the gang when she was born, so she didn't meet her aunt very often. In addition, Lai Qinniang is versatile and has a high self-esteem. She is not very close to Cao Ya, who is also taught by Ji Gu but has a stubborn, aggressive and savage temperament, which is far different from Feng Ya. Therefore, Cao Ya's feelings for this aunt are far less deep than those for her uncle Lai Dayong.
At this moment, I would intercede on behalf of this uncle: "What does it have to do with uncle? Hasn't he always been looking towards you, the old immortal?"
"If I don't show him the color, who knows if he will be like Qin Niang with her elbows turned out?!"
"Ha! You are such an old fool. The worse you treat your uncle, the less your uncle will like you, right? It's all your fault!"
The grandfather and grandson had a big quarrel, and Ji Gu didn't bother to argue with Cao Ya anymore. He directly talked about the reason why when he took Cao Ya to Mingpei Hall before, he made her pick something randomly in Mingpei Hall and stare at it. : "Our Ji family is known as the century-old Ji family. Although it is not as good as those serious aristocratic families, in the imperial capital, everyone still lives in a deep residence. When your great-grandfather was here, I was also a playboy who played horses and fought dogs. Those aunts of yours My mother-in-law is also a pampered young lady, so of course the person she marries will not be a bad person... "
"Wait! What does this have to do with the pair of pearl flowers?" Cao Ya was confused and interrupted with wide eyes.
Ji Gu shouted unbearably: "I want to find a good future for you! Do you understand?"
"What's a good future?" Cao Ya was confused.
"Of course you want to get married!" Ji Gu sneered, "otherwise you are an ignorant and loser, what kind of future can you have on your own?"
Cao Ya sneered: "You said it yourself last time, a pink head is unparalleled in talent and appearance, rare in the world, but he is just a seductive pink head, still a pink head! Even if our young lady can't read, she is still our daughter! My dear, I Whether you have a future or not has nothing to do with your lack of knowledge!”
Ji Gu gritted his teeth for a moment before he stopped the urge to hit his unfilial granddaughter on the head with his cane. He sneered and said: "You can still be a concubine for someone who is both talented and beautiful..."
"You said last time that wealthy people are very particular about marrying concubines and having good sex. If they are born beautiful, what does it matter?" Cao Ya took advantage of her again.
Ji Gu couldn't hold back this time, he raised his hand and slapped him down.
But Cao Ya was already prepared and jumped away smartly. Ji Gu slapped the air with his palm and cursed: "You lose money when you don't live up to expectations..."
After a long while, Ji Gu suppressed his temper and explained to his worried granddaughter: "Your uncle who was ill was coming to Xiliang soon, and he saved Wei's father, who was Wei's benefactor! Come to think of it. Even if Rui Yutang gives him a reward, this Wei family should show some respect. Judging from the preferential treatment he has received from me these days, I want to take this opportunity to compensate you. I want you to get a chance to get promoted, so that you don’t end up like your mother, marrying a fool who is more than vicious but lacks courage in this remote country! Even if I die, I won’t be able to live in peace!”
"Can I be the same as my mother?!" Cao Ya heard this, as if she had been greatly insulted, and her almond-shaped eyes immediately widened. She didn't even say "my mother" and shouted loudly, "In the future, if my husband follows me That bastard father is like a useless man. He is jealous of my mother’s ability. He actually wants to betray my mother to the government just to vent his anger. I have to cut open his heart and drink it with my own hands!”
This time, Ji Gu didn't scold her, but gave her loving praise: "Good child, this is my seed, Ji Gu! You should have this kind of ambition!"
Cao Ya raised her little head high and sneered: "Let's be honest, what do you want to do? I don't want to see Mr. Shen from Ming Peitang anymore!"
"Why do you, a girl, go to see Shen Zangfeng?" Ji Gu said, "Even though you are young, Mrs. Wei sounds like a very jealous person. The Mrs. Huang next to her was your uncle who taught pharmacology. Yes, according to the nature of such a wealthy family, nine out of ten people are specifically planning to use poison to carry out evil deeds. With such a helper, who is trying to steal the husband from that Wei family? Is this not seeking death? "
"Don't mention Shen Zangfeng again..." Cao Ya muttered something, but Ji Gu didn't hear it clearly and didn't care. He took a breath and continued: "I want you to go to the hospital. Uncle will intercede with the Wei family to let you Become a master or adoptive mother to her... Well, the status gap is too big, I'm afraid the adoptive mother won't be able to be a master. It's more like choosing what she is good at and becoming a teacher... Anyway, I just want a name, and when I get married in the future, I will marry her. Saying that you are a girl raised by the Wei family in Fengzhou and a descendant of the future mistress of the Shen family is more considerate than buying you a generous dowry!"
Cao Ya said in shock: "Doesn't that mean you have to go in and out of Mingpeitang all day long?!" (To be continued)
