"Then what is the master going to do?" Shuang never thought that Prince Duan's son would be so worried about Shen Wenhua.
"Right now, we can only pay close attention to them, and when they take action, they will be wiped out!"
"Master, don't worry, the subordinates will let people watch."
"Well, once the other party makes any move, tell me immediately!"
"Yes, master!"
…
Of course, Shen Jingshu didn't know that because of her, Prince Duan cared more about Shen Wenhua. With the protection of Prince Duan, they also avoided a catastrophe in the near future. At this moment, she was very happy in her heart, but faintly I'm also a little worried.
After going back to the present for so long, Shen Jingshu still feels uneasy when she sees that the day when her former family will be ruined is getting closer. Although many things have changed in this life, the catastrophe has not yet come, and Shen Jingshu has no clue now, so she can only try her best to prevent it, not to mention how uncomfortable she is.
She is laughing and joking on weekdays, but who knows the distress in her heart
Back in the capital, everything has returned to calm. Shen Jingshu really misses the life in Zhuangzi. If possible, she hopes that the whole family can be happy. Even Shen Wenhua can let go of the responsibilities of this body, and their family will live in seclusion in the countryside , that kind of life is what Shen Jingshu yearns for, but she knows it's impossible.
Since she knew it was impossible, she could only work hard to let the family live a happy life!
Back home, rest for a day, and have to go to the academy the next day. I didn't go there for some days, but Shen Jingshu went again, and the feeling was really different.
"Jingshu, you've been happy these few days. You don't bring us with you, and you don't know our life recently. That's miserable!" I haven't seen Shen Jingshu for a few days. To be honest, Yang Huilan is really I miss you so much.
"Hehe, this matter was decided quickly, and I don't have time to tell you, how about next time? That Zhuangzi is good, let's go play together when we have time!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?"
"That's good, then you have to remember, when we are free in a few days, we will go to play, we haven't gone out to play for a few days yet!"
"Okay, okay, can I listen to you?"
"sure!"
"By the way, why didn't you see Xinhe?"
"Hey, Xinhe is sick, and I haven't come to the academy for a few days."
"Why are you sick?"
"I don't know, maybe she was infected with the wind and cold? I just went to see her yesterday, and she seems to have recovered a bit. I guess she can come to the academy in a few days."
"Although Xinhe is not in good health, she has been studying medicine these days and has taken care of herself. Why did she suddenly become ill?"
"I asked her and she refused to tell her. Mrs. Kong always said that Xinhe was sick. She was afraid of infecting me, so she wouldn't let me talk to her alone. I didn't know! You came just in time. Let's go see her in a while. It is estimated that this girl may have suffered some kind of grievance."
"Okay, let's go see her after class. I haven't seen her for a while. To be honest, I miss you a lot."
"Hmph, you little girl has no conscience, you thought you really didn't miss me!"
"how could be?"
"Okay, let's go to class, don't be late!"
"Yeah!" The first class was calligraphy, and Qi Xueyan happened to be there too. Seeing Shen Jingshu coming, Qi Xueyan felt a little uncomfortable, but she came over to say hello, "Jingshu, where have you been these days? Why not?" Seeing you?" Since the Hundred Flowers Festival, Qi Xueyan always felt that Shen Jingshu stole her limelight, and was very unhappy, so these days, Qi Xueyan always ignored Shen Jingshu.
"I'm going to Zhuangzi, why, don't you know?" Smiled, but looking at Qi Xueyan's caressing, Shen Jingshu is very generous, and people can't help but feel more fond of her, "I remember what I told you Did you forget?" His face was hurt, Shen Jingshu looked like this, Qi Xueyan felt embarrassed, "Hehe, did you? I was not feeling well a few days ago, maybe I didn't hear clearly, Jingshu, don't take offense! It's just that you went to Zhuangzi, why didn't you ask me to go? We used to be together, didn't we?" Thinking of the past, Qi Xueyan also misses it very much. At that time, Shen Jingshu obeyed her, what did she say? What is it, and Shen Jingshu is quite flattering to her, in order to hope that her younger sister will say something nice in front of Qi Shaodong, but when did all this change
The former little follower, but now he overshadowed her limelight, stole everything from her, and made her lose face! This person was really born to fight against her!
"Hehe, I see that your complexion is not good, so I won't ask you out. Next time, let's go together next time!"
"Okay!" smiled awkwardly, the two of them had already had a grudge in their hearts, so naturally they couldn't get along naturally. Today's Qi Xueyan is not ready yet, how can she really hide her thoughts
But, why is she willing
Qi Xueyan didn't see Shen Jingshu these few days, and Qi Xueyan's good mood was ruined again. Thinking of Shen Jingshu's smiling face, Qi Xueyan felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to make Shen Jingshu look ugly, Qi Xueyan's heart also began to twist.
Wanting to make Shen Jingshu look ugly, so as to save her face, countless thoughts flashed through Qi Xueyan's mind, and finally, she finally thought of a good way.
…
"This time the content is embroidery. I will give you three days to embroider this peony flower, and it will be handed in in three days. I will put the homework this time in the assessment as part of the grade. I hope everyone will complete it with heart." After the calligraphy is finished, it is a girl. Hong, the female red master Yueniang is a very strict master with extremely strict requirements. Qi Xueyan originally thought that in this door, Shen Jingshu would be punished by Yueniang, but she never thought that although Shen Jingshu was not good at embroidering, she worked hard enough, and Yueniang gave Shen Jingshu more preferential treatment, and it was because of this , Qi Xueyan was even more unconvinced in her heart, and always felt that Shen Jingshu got so many benefits because of her status. Seeing that Yueniang's task was assigned now, Qi Xueyan was immediately very happy.
"Jingshu, are you okay with the task assigned by the master?" Concerned on the surface, although Qi Xueyan didn't do it very well, she still had some tricks.
"I'll try my best!" Smiling, Shen Jingshu didn't know what Qi Xueyan was going to do, but she knew that she had completely offended Qi Xueyan at the Hundred Flowers Festival, and the other party would definitely do something, she just had to wait.
Qi Xueyan, you'd better not offend me, otherwise, I'll look good on you!
"Is it really okay? The master said that this time the female celebrity will be included in the assessment, just in case you..." Qi Xueyan believed that everyone understood what he didn't say. The level of Shen Jingshu's female celebrity is very clear to everyone in the class. It is really difficult to say that it involves assessment.
"I can only say that I did my best, Xueyan, you know that I'm not good at being a girl, I hope the master can give me more points for my hard work!" Smiling, Shen Jingshu didn't care Qi Xueyan saw her attitude, and also smiled, "Yes, Master likes you so much, I will definitely not embarrass you, but you have to work hard, and you can't be lazy just because Master likes you. Otherwise, others will know , I’m afraid I’m not convinced.”
"I know!" Without saying anything, Shen Jingshu felt a little headache after learning about the homework these days. She couldn't get better as a female celebrity, but it was too bad to be justified, but what should I do
In the past few days, I have been a little negligent in practicing, and now it seems that I can only work harder.
…
There were a few days without class, and Shen Jingshu felt that the day passed quickly. After class, Shen Jingshu asked Shan Yuerong to go back and tell Shan Yuerong that she was going to see Kong Xinhe, so she and Yang Huilan went to Kong's house in a carriage.
Although the Kong family is not a family of officials, it is also a place of wealthy businessmen. Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan have also been to the Kong family before, and Mrs. Kong's hospitality is very considerate. But this time, Mrs. Kong was a little surprised when she saw the two people coming, "Miss Shen, Miss Yang, have you come to see Xinhe? It's just that the girl fell asleep, do you want to come back another day?"
"Mrs. Kong, is Xinhe's illness very serious? I heard that she hasn't been to the academy for a few days, and I'm not at home these days. I heard that I came here today. Can I go and see her?"
"Of course it's possible, but Xinhe is asleep too, and you won't be able to talk if you go, why not another day!" Mrs. Kong's complexion is obviously a little wrong, it's okay to hide it from others, but Shen Jingshu has been a human being in two lives, what else is there to see? Unclear, "What's the inconvenience for Mrs. Kong? Xinhe is asleep. Let's go over and have a look. We just want to know if she is okay. You see, Huilan and I are here. If Xinhe is missing, We'd be worried too."
"This..." Mrs. Kong seemed to be hesitant, when Master Kong came over, "Ma'am, who is here?"
"Master, it's Ms. Shen and Ms. Yang who came here and said they came to see Xinhe!" Mrs. Kong was also relieved to hear that Master Kong had come. Smiling, "So it's Ms. Shen and Ms. Yang. Are you here to see Xinhe? It's just that Xinhe is asleep. It's not convenient at this time. How about another day?" Master Kong's tone was polite, but his attitude was the same as Kong's. The wife is the same, which always makes Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan feel a little weird.
"Let's just take a look, we won't disturb Xinhe, Master Kong, is this okay?" Looking at Master Kong, Shen Jingshu always felt that there was something strange about this matter, but she couldn't tell.
What is the reason and why are they not allowed to see it? Is there something hidden
"Hey, Ms. Shen, you also know that Xinhe has been very ill recently, and she can't sleep well at night. Now, after taking the medicine, she managed to fall asleep. If she wakes up, won't she be unable to sleep again?" Master Kong has already said so, and Shen Jingshu can't say anything more, "In this case, let's see her another day, Master Kong, Mrs. Kong, farewell!"
"Miss Shen, Miss Yang, go slowly, come here, send off the two ladies!" After Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan were sent away, the smile on Master Kong's face disappeared, and Mrs. Kong who was on the side saw her, a little worried, " Master, Ms. Shen and Ms. Yang often come to visit Xinhe. I can stop this time, but if I stop the second and third times, it will inevitably make them suspicious. What should I do?" If it is someone else, stop Forget it, but these two are very close to Kong Xinhe, and they are the daughters of the official family, so it's too late for them to curry favor, how can they offend them
"Just stop now, this matter will be settled soon, and then it will be fine, don't worry!" Master Kong frowned. He was very happy with the two friends his daughter had made, so naturally he would not offend. But what happened this time is related to the future of the Kong family, and there is no room for carelessness.
"Master, do you really want to do this? After all, Xinhe is our daughter. Will she be too wronged?" After all, it is her own flesh and blood, Madam Kong still loves the child very much, but no matter how much she loves the child, she will What can she do if she can't get past her husband
"Why did you wrong her? We gave birth to her and raised her, but now we just let what should have happened ahead of time. How could we be wronged? What's more, she married and was still the first wife, but it was only a few years earlier. Could it be possible? I, as a father, will harm her?"
"My lord, I don't mean that. It's just the child of the Zhang family. I heard that my past behavior was a bit unrestrained, and this time I suddenly proposed to advance the marriage contract. I'm really worried. Xinhe is still young after all. It won't be fourteen until a few days later, isn't it too early to get married?"
"Why is it too early? Now it's just getting married first, and the house won't be consummated so soon? Didn't the Zhang family say it? That young master got sick and wanted to be happy. We Xin He married, once that young master Well, that is the blessing of our Xinhe, how dare people from the Zhang family treat Xinhe badly?"
"That's what I said, but I'm worried in my heart after all."
"Okay, I have already discussed this matter with the members of the Zhang family. Xinhe will marry her first, and then consummate the house when she is married. Our two families have always had a marriage contract. Is it possible that you still want me to regret the marriage?" Mr. Kong has always been a domineering person, he said one thing at home, even Mrs. Kong, there is no way to change his decision.
"But that girl Xinhe doesn't want to, so what should I do?" My own daughter is fine with everything, but she is a bit stubborn. Just looking at her silent, I thought she accepted such an arrangement, but I never thought that she would disagree!
"If you don't want to, you have to be willing. This marriage has been booked a long time ago, and she can't let her temper. The Zhang family's dowry will come down soon, and you are ready to prepare in the next few days. You can drop out of the academy, Xinhe I'm going to get married, just prepare for the marriage with peace of mind now, and don't let her worry about other things."
"Yes, master, I understand." Sighing inwardly, Mrs. Kong also felt that her daughter was very pitiful. But this marriage is decided by Master Kong, and she can't change Master Kong's decision, so she can only continue to persuade her daughter, hoping that her daughter will accept her fate, so as to avoid too much hardship in the future.
"It's good for you to understand. You can talk about it with Xinhe. It's just more than a year ahead of schedule. It's a matter of time. You should prepare for marriage obediently. When the time comes, the people of the Zhang family will think highly of her, won't they?" very good?"
"The concubine will tell her well."
"There is no other way to go wrong with this matter. I have a big deal with the Zhang family recently. If it goes wrong, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver!" . Anyway, he has quite a few children, and Kong Xinhe is a daughter, so he is very happy to let his daughter exchange benefits for him, so why would he care if Kong Xinhe is happy or not
"Master, don't worry, the concubine will take good care of it!" Knowing the importance of this business in Master Kong's heart, Mrs. Kong didn't want to say much, she felt sorry for her daughter, but Mrs. Kong thought that her daughter was a decent wife after all, Moreover, the Zhang family's family property is much larger than that of the Kong family, and they are also highly regarded. Although this son is not good, he is the only son of the Zhang family after all, and his daughter should not be wronged when she marries.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Kong could only accept this reality, and planned to persuade Kong Xinhe well.
…
Although Shen Jingshu didn't know what happened to the Kong family, the words and deeds of Master Kong and Mrs. Kong today made her aware of the strangeness. Although there is no way to leave, Shen Jingshu will not give up so easily, "Hui Lan, have you met Xinhe in the past few days?"
"I have been here a few times, but Madam Kong stopped me every time and refused to let me see Huilan. Last time I lost my temper, Madam Kong had no choice but to let me see. But I didn't tell Xinhe For some words, Madam Kong brought me out with the reason that Xinhe's health is not good and it will be contagious. Jingshu, do you also think this is a bit strange."
"It's really strange. Xinhe is just sick. Why did Master Kong and Mrs. Kong stop you like this? Is there something that you don't want us to know? Or something happened to Xinhe?"
"Nothing should happen. After all, Xinhe is the daughter of the Concubine family. Although Master Kong doesn't like Xinhe very much, he never treated her badly." Yang Huilan is telling the truth. It is used as a tool for trading, so how can there be love
"Then the last time you went to see Xinhe, did you see her face?"
"That's not true, it's through the curtain. I wanted to see her in person, but Mrs. Kong said she couldn't blow the wind, and she was afraid that I would get infected, so she didn't let me lift the curtain. I just talked to her through the curtain. That's all."
"Did Xinhe say anything?"
"Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that she didn't say anything. She didn't say much that day, she just hummed a few words, and then Mrs. Kong took me out, and I couldn't even ask carefully."
"It seems that there may be some problems with this matter. I am afraid that Xinhe will not go to the academy these days."
"Jingshu, what should we do then? In case something happens to Xinhe, can we help her?"
"Don't worry, let's check the Kong family's tone in the past few days, and we will go tomorrow!"
"good!"
"I'll get someone to inquire about the Kong family when I go back, and you can also inquire about it to see if you can find out anything." For some reason, Shen Jingshu felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if Kong Xinhe was suffering right now. .
"Okay, I'll find someone to inquire as soon as I go back, Xinhe must be in trouble!"
"Well, let's go again tomorrow!" The two agreed, and went back to find someone to inquire about the Kong family. The Kong family kept this matter a secret, and it was not easy to inquire about it. Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan went again the next day, but Mrs. Kong still didn't come out to see them because Kong Xinhe was uncomfortable. This time Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan left without saying anything. Mrs. Kong was obviously relieved, but the two of them would go after school every day for the next few days. Gradually, the smile on Mrs. Kong's face could not hold back, "Miss Shen, Miss Yang, Xinhe is ill, you come to see her , I am really happy as a mother. It's just that Xinhe's disease has not recovered, and the doctor doesn't let her get wind, so I usually keep her in the room and don't let her go out, so as not to get serious again. Ms. Shen We understand Miss Yang's intentions. I have already told Xinhe, and she is very happy. It's just that it's really hard work for you to come here in person every day. Xinhe said, I will go to you when she is better, Miss Shen And Miss Yang's heart, she understands."
Always rejecting Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan like this, Mrs. Kong also knew that she couldn't justify it, so she had to find such an excuse. Naturally, Shen Jingshu didn't believe it, "Mrs. Kong, the heart is so serious, but you have invited a doctor? Is there no improvement at all?" ?”
"Naturally, the doctor was invited, but the disease is getting better slowly, so it can only come slowly."
"This doctor is not good, but another one is better. Mrs. Kong, I know a few good doctors. Do you want them to come and see?"
"No need for this. This is our family's doctor. He has good medical skills. Xinhe is better now, and now he just needs to take a good rest."
"Really?" Looking at Mrs. Kong, Mrs. Kong didn't know what to do. She felt a little guilty when she saw Shen Jingshu's look. She always felt that Shen Jingshu seemed to see something, and she excused herself to have something to do without saying a few words. , Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan had no choice but to say goodbye.
"Jingshu, I'm afraid there is a real problem with this matter!"
"Indeed, I asked someone to inquire about it yesterday. The Confucian Mansion hasn't invited a doctor at all in the past few days!"
"Then what do you mean? Xinhe is not sick at all?" Yang Huilan's face was full of surprises, Yang Huilan didn't expect Shen Jingshu to say this, and she was a little puzzled, "But if Xinhe is not sick, why didn't you come to the academy? And Madam Kong also won’t let us see her?”
"I'm also a little puzzled about this matter, let's go, let's go to Master Hui!"
"Looking for Master Hui?"
"Well, there are some things, I have to ask Master Hui, maybe I will know the answer!" Kong Xinhe didn't come to the academy so suddenly, Shen Jingshu knew that there must be something hidden, but Shen Jingshu didn't know what it was. But she wanted to ask anyway.
"Okay, go ask Master Hui and see what Mrs. Kong said when she asked Xinhe for leave!" After being reminded by Shen Jingshu, Yang Huilan remembered, and she and Shen Jingshu went to Master Hui's house one after another.
