◎Shen Fuxue: "My daughter wants to retire."◎
Early the next morning, Lu Xian prepared gifts and went to the Jining Marquis Mansion.
But when he arrived, Shen Fuxue had already gone out with Shen's father and Shen's mother.
The concierge said to Lu Xian: "I don't know when the masters will be back, Mr. Lu, do you see?"
Lu Xian pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll go in and wait."
After all, Lu Xian came from a wealthy family and knew how to behave. Under such circumstances, as a junior, of course he couldn't leave immediately.
The porter lowered his head: "Yes."
After all, Lu Xian is Shen Fuxue's fiancé. Although Shen Fuxue has not been in the capital these years, the two families still get along according to their future in-laws.
Every year during festivals, or the family's birthday, Lu Xian would always come to celebrate, and the relationship can be regarded as close, even the concierge treated Lu Xian according to the etiquette of a future son-in-law.
Lu Xian was led by the maid to the main room.
Today, no one from the first room is here, and even Shen Ji accompanied Shen Fuxue to the suburbs of Beijing to find a doctor, so the guests from the mansion will naturally be entertained by the master of the second room.
It was also a coincidence that the second wife, Mrs. Yang, had a headache when she woke up early this morning, so Shen Fuyue could only come out to entertain Lu Xian.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were more open than the previous ones, and there were no defenses against men and women. Men and women often went out together, and there were even female households, so it was not a big deal for female relatives to entertain male guests.
Shen Fuyue is from the Shen family, her appearance is naturally not bad, her face is pretty and pleasant, when she saw Lu Xian, she smiled and said: "Young master Lu is here, sit down quickly."
Her smile became more and more gentle.
Finally seeing the person he was thinking of, Lu Xian blushed slightly, and he found a chair and sat down.
The person he was thinking about at the dinner table last night was Shen Fuyue.
Over the years, he has often been in and out of Shen's residence, and of course he will often see Shen Fuyue, and the two are about the same age, which is exactly Mu Shaoai's age, so it is inevitable that they will have mutual admiration.
One is Shen Fuxue, a sick child who has never met, and the other is Shen Fuyue, who is beautiful and lovely. Of course, Lu Xian likes Shen Fuyue more.
Lu Xian wanted to call off the marriage early in the morning so that he could propose to marry Shen Fuyue.
It's just that he couldn't summon up the courage every time. After all, this marriage was arranged by Duke Ding himself. Lu Xian had always been afraid of his grandfather, so he dared not mention it.
In this room, Shen Fuyue asked the maid to serve tea to Lu Xian, and the tea served was also Lu Xian's favorite Longjing tea.
Lu Xian really noticed Shen Fuyue's thoughts, the two looked at each other and smiled, but quickly lowered their heads.
After all, there are maids and women in the house, and the two dare not exceed the rules.
Shen Fuyue talked to Lu Xian again, and when the time was almost up, Lu Xian got up and prepared to leave.
Lu Xian looked at Shen Fuyue: "Uncle and aunt are not here today, so I should choose another time to visit, but tomorrow I will go out with Shangfeng on business, this trip will take a few days, please trouble Miss Shen and Uncle Shen Say."
Shen Fuyue knew in her heart that Lu Xian was also telling her that she would not be able to meet her secretly these few days, so she nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely pass this on to uncle."
After explaining everything, Lu Xian left.
Seeing Lu Xian's back gradually going away, the smile on Shen Fuyue's face slowly fell.
Over the years, she has been in private contact with Lu Xian, and the two have agreed to a lifetime. Lu Xian promised her that when the time comes, he will ask Duke Ding to dissolve the engagement and marry her.
Of course she believed in Lu Xian, but she had known Lu Xian for so many years and knew Lu Xian's temperament.
Lu Xian has a soft temper and has always been hesitant. He promised, but when will he do it.
Now that Shen Fuxue has also returned to Beijing, this made her not in a hurry, Shen Fuyue tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand.
But at the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was always worried that Lu Xian saw Shen Fuxue, what if Lu Xian regretted it after seeing Shen Fuxue's appearance
After all, Shen Fuxue was born so well...
She was even more anxious last night and didn't sleep well. She knew that when Shen Fuxue came back this time, no matter whether it was Yu Qing or Yu Li, Lu Xian should pay a visit to the mansion. She had been thinking about how to stop the two of them. people meet.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't see each other this time, so they don't have to worry about it for a while.
But after all, this can only be delayed for a while, not for a lifetime.
Shen Fuyue pursed her lips, she should think of a solution as soon as possible, she can't delay any longer!
…
On the outskirts of the capital, in a mansion.
The Dr. You Fang that Ji mentioned was asking about Shen Fuxue's recent situation, from diet to sleep, in extremely detail.
After asking them all one by one, they began to examine Shen Fuxue's pulse.
This Dr. You Fang has very good medical skills, he has been traveling around in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this time he happened to arrive in the capital, Ji Shi and Shen Zhengfu immediately brought Shen Fuxue over after hearing about it.
It took a full cup of tea before the doctor finished his pulse diagnosis.
The doctor is more than sixty years old now, his beard and hair are white, he said to Shen Fuxue: "Young lady, don't worry, the young lady's body is fine now, her pulse is quite stable, I will wait for the old man to prescribe a medicine for the young lady."
"Please trouble the doctor," Shen Fuxue said.
Mrs. Ji held Shen Fuxue's shoulder: "Nong Nong, you have been sitting in the carriage for a long time, and you must be tired now, ask your brother to accompany you out for a walk, mother and your father are here waiting for the doctor to prescribe the medicine."
Shen Ji hurried over: "Yes, Nong Nong, the scenery in the suburbs of Beijing is very good, brother will accompany you out to have a look."
Shen Fuxue's heart was like a bright mirror, but she didn't reveal anything on her face: "Okay."
After Shen Ji and Shen Fuxue went out, Ji said worriedly: "Doctor, please tell us the truth now, do you think my daughter's body is still alive?"
Shen Zhengfu also clenched his hands behind his back.
The doctor shook his head: "Lingai's body is too weak, it is a natural weakness, it will only decline step by step, the old man is powerless."
Although she had heard this from countless doctors, Ji couldn't help but shed tears, and Shen Zhengfu's eyes were also red.
The doctor wrote down the prescription: "The old man can only consider the prescription of warming and nourishing medicine, and slowly adjust the body of Ling Ai, so that Ling Ai will not feel so uncomfortable on weekdays."
It took a long time for Ji to hold back her tears. She put away the prescription and murmured: "That's fine, I'll thank the doctor for that."
Shen Zhengfu asked: "Does the doctor know of any other miracle doctor who can cure my daughter's illness?"
No matter what, Shen Zhengfu will not give up.
The doctor thought for a while, and he really reminded him of a person: "There is a miracle doctor named Cui. I heard that his medical skills are very good. He may be able to cure your daughter's illness, but I don't know where the miracle doctor is."
No one knows what this Miracle Doctor Cui is called, but it is said that he has the ability to life and death human flesh and bones.
Although the rumors are exaggerated, it shows that Dr. Cui's medical skills are excellent, and this is the only hope to cure Shen Fuxue.
Shen Zhengfu and Ji's have been looking for doctors and medicines, and they have heard of this Miracle Doctor Cui in recent years, and they have been sending people to look for it, but they have not been able to find it.
Miracle doctor Cui only showed up in Liangzhou a few years ago, and then disappeared without a trace, as if disappeared from the world.
Some people suspect that there is no such person in the world at all, it is just a rumor.
It is as difficult as reaching heaven to find Miracle Doctor Cui, this hope is too elusive, even Shen Zhengfu and Ji's dare not hold this hope.
However, Shen Zhengfu and Ji still thanked the doctor before going out.
Before going out, Shen Zhengfu and Ji's family had already cleaned up the expressions on their faces, so that no one could see anything wrong.
Shen Fuxue just pretended not to know, she stepped forward and embraced Ji's arm: "Mother, is the prescription ready?"
Mrs. Ji nodded: "Okay, I will give you medicine according to the new prescription when I return home."
Shen Ji said from the side: "It's getting late now, let's go back home first," he was afraid that his sister would be tired.
"Okay, let's go back," Ji said.
Shen Fuxue didn't move, she smiled sweetly at Mrs Ji: "Daughter still has something to trouble Mother."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"When we return to Beijing, we will pass by the Zuixian Tower. Let my brother go to the Zuixian Tower to order a table of noodles. At noon, we will eat together as a family, okay?"
Shen Fuxue's body is weak, her diet has always been controlled, and she can't eat casual dishes, especially the Ji family, who strictly supervises Shen Fuxue's usual eating.
However, the dishes in Zuixianlou are light and delicious, it is a rare delicacy that Shen Fuxue can eat.
Mrs. Ji nodded Shen Fuxue's forehead: "Greedy!"
Shen Zhengfu smiled and said, "Just listen to the thick one."
Shen Fuxue smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Daddy."
Ji said helplessly: "Okay, I'm fine this time, let's go back home."
…
It was still early when Shen Fuxue and others returned to the residence, and it happened that the banquet in the Zuixian Tower would take some time to be ready, so the family simply sat in the main room and talked.
While talking, the servant girl came over with a box and reported that Lu Xian had been to the mansion just now.
Mentioning Lu Xian, Ji couldn't help laughing and said: "Lu Xian is a good boy, no, I heard that you came back as soon as you returned home."
These years, Lu Xian often came to the mansion as a guest. He knew the etiquette very well. Although he was born in a general's family, he was very refined. Now that he has received an errand, his future is not bad. The Ji family is quite satisfied with Lu Xian.
Lu Xian...
Shen Fuxue opened the black lacquer and gold box in her hand, inside the box was a jade hairpin, the quality was good, and the carving was done with care, it was really good.
She knew that she had such a fiancé since she was a child, but the two had hardly met each other, they just gave each other gifts every year.
Shen Fuxue closed the box: "Father, Mother, my daughter has something to say."
Shen Zhengfu and Ji Shi were taken aback for a moment, Shen Fuxue had always been soft-tempered and seldom spoke in such a tone, they couldn't help being a little surprised and corrected their expressions.
Shen Fuxue put the box on the desk beside her, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly: "Father, mother, my daughter wants to reconcile this marriage with Lu Xian."
"What?" Ji asked in surprise.
Shen Zhengfu's hand stroking his beard also stopped.
Obviously, both were surprised.
Shen Fuxue said firmly: "My daughter didn't think about it on a whim, but she did it after serious consideration."
"Father and mother, you all know your daughter's physical condition, she doesn't want to drag Lu Xian down."
With this disease, she can't live for a few years. People outside don't know her body, they only think she is weak. Although there are rumors that she won't live to be twenty, but the Shen family is high and powerful after all, no one dares to say .
If she married Lu Xian, wouldn't it harm Lu Xian and make him a widower at a young age? She couldn't do such a thing.
Besides, Shen Fuxue didn't have any extra feelings for Lu Xian, after all, the two had never met before, they were just a little stronger than strangers.
Ever since she knew she wouldn't live long, she didn't want to get married anymore, she just wanted to spend the last few years with her family.
After Shen Fuxue finished speaking, the room became silent.
Ji Shi and Shen Zhengfu couldn't know Shen Fuxue's thoughts, Ji Shi's eyes were reddened with distress, and she managed to hold back the tears.
Ji Shi and Shen Zhengfu looked at each other, they knew in their hearts that what Shen Fuxue said was very reasonable.
It's not that they haven't thought about this issue these years, but they always think that Shen Fuxue's body will improve when she is not sure, and she will be able to marry and have children.
But Shen Fuxue's words right now pierced their unspoken thoughts. After all, the two children are now old and it's time to get married.
The Shen family really couldn't drag the Lu family down, and they couldn't do such a thing.
Ji nodded: "Alright."
Shen Fuxue was a little surprised, she thought she would have to spend a lot of time talking, but she didn't expect her parents to agree so easily.
Shen Zhengfu said: "Retiring an engagement is a major event, it should not be played around with. Brother Lu left the city early in the morning on business, and it will take some time to come back. When Brother Lu comes back, I will go to the Lu family to discuss this matter for my father."
The brother Lu that Shen Zhengfu was talking about was Lu Xian's father, Lu Shichong. For such an important event as divorce, both parents must be present, so it cannot be ignored.
Ji also said, "That's the reason."
It's just that the promise is the promise, but Ji's heart is still empty and sad. There is a mother who doesn't want to see her daughter get married and have children.
Ji sincerely prayed to God that he would find Dr. Cui as soon as possible, maybe Shen Fuxue's illness could be cured.
At that time, I will match her with a handsome husband, and live a happy life with her.
