Chapter 92: Confused
Xu Fenglan came in with a bucket of hot water, "...it's noon. The general is waiting for lunch. Do you still want to wait for the lady to finish washing?"
Zhen Shiniang's brows moved, and just as she was about to open her eyes, Magpie rushed to say, "Miss, you are tired today, just take care of yourself."
She had just dozed off. She was much more energetic now. She could barely hold on while cooking a few dishes. Zhen Shiniang moved her lips. Zhen Shiniang wanted to stop Xu Fenglan, but she remembered Shen Zhongqing's domineering and ruthless behavior and shut her mouth again. .
If he bullies her like this, even if he is her bread and butter parent, she should punish him appropriately.
After drying her hair, Magpie gave her a simple lily bun, fastened it with a wooden hairpin, and changed into a lavender plain lily-embroidered brocade coat. Zhen Shiniang brought Qiu Ju to the main room.
Shen Zhongqing had changed into clean casual clothes and was sitting cross-legged on the kang, reading a book. When he saw Zhen Shiniang walking in freshly dressed, a faint scent of green grass hit his face, and he was shocked.
Seeing Shen Zhongqing and remembering her previous embarrassment, Zhen Shiniang's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment. Seeing that he had also changed his clothes, a hint of mischievous joy flashed in her heart.
He had just carried himself into the house covered in feces and urine. He must have been so disgusted and regretful that he wanted to hit the wall, right?
Let’s see if he dares next time!
Helping Zhen Shiniang to sit on the chair, Qiu Ju poured her a glass of warm water and stood behind her with her hands down.
"How do you know how to heal?" Shen Zhongqing asked after watching her drink most of the water.
"My health is not good, and I have been reading medical books..." His eyes fell casually on a pile of medical books on the six-door and eight-drawer cabinet in front of him. "After going back and forth, I can also read some minor illnesses such as headaches and fever." Those books are all hers. Qiu Ju was asked to put it there secretly. I wonder if he had noticed Kui Duan? Remembering that Shen Zhongqing had just inquired yesterday, no one in the town knew about Dr. Jian, and added, "Everyone in the neighborhood knows about Concubine." It can cure some minor illnesses."
Everyone in the neighborhood knew that she could treat minor ailments such as headaches and fever, but no one knew Dr. Jian. Obviously she and Dr. Jian were two different people.
I hope I can get away with it this way.
Zhen Shiniang's expression was usually calm, but her heart was tense.
Following her gaze to the medical book, Shen Zhongqing's eyes darkened. A stinging pain shot through his heart.
Those books are very worn, the result of reading them every day.
I remember that when he first came here, he put it on the kang, as well as a human body diagram. She had no money to hire a doctor, so she had no choice but to study on her own and save herself.
She must be eager to live, right?
"...I'm not in good health. Don't talk about these things in the future. If you come again, let them go to the doctor themselves." After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, and his deep voice was undeniable.
As expected, he did not agree with the young lady’s practice of medicine!
Qiu Ju felt sad for a while, and she quietly looked at Zhen Shiniang.
In the past, she was ignorant and thought that her young lady practiced medicine just to make a living. But after today, she really felt that her young lady loved practicing medicine from the bottom of her heart.
But neither her body nor her status allow her to practice medicine. The lady must be in great pain, right?
After being with Zhen Shiniang for so long, Qiu Ju felt for the first time that she could really see her young lady's heart dripping with blood under her gentle and peaceful appearance.
Suddenly, a splitting pain arose in her heart.
Zhen Shiniang's heart was relieved.
What he meant was that she got away with it!
"I understand." The voice was relaxed and joyful.
Shen Zhongqing was very satisfied with her gentle attitude, and his eyes softened, "Let's set the food."
It's not that Shen Zhongqing is so stupid. Firstly, he has been married to Zhen Shiniang for two years and knows her details very well. Secondly, under Zhen Shiniang's hint, Li Qi has always avoided her gender, not only Shen Zhongqing Qing, even most people in Wutong Town thought Doctor Jian was a man.
Therefore, after Zhen Shiniang's misleading just now, even though he knew that Zhen Shiniang used the surname Jian in Wutong Town and had medical skills, Shen Zhongqing did not take her and the famous man he was looking for at this time. The miracle doctor contacted one place.
Seeing Zhen Shiniang looking over, Qiu Ju walked out quickly.
A sumptuous lunch was quickly served.
Zhen Shiniang personally set the dishes and chopsticks for Shen Zhongqing.
What is the taste?
After taking only one bite, Shen Zhongqing frowned.
She is always a cook, and what she sells is her cooking skills. Xu Fenglan's cooking skills are also very good. However, Zhen Shiniang's cooking skills are too good. In just two days, Shen Zhongqing's taste has been spoiled by her, and she will eat the dishes cooked by Xu Fenglan. It was a little hard to swallow.
"Can I add two more dishes to you?" Seeing that he only took one bite and stared at the dishes on the table with chopsticks, Zhen Shiniang sighed in her heart, "He is a spoiled brat after all."
Shen Zhongqing's eyes lit up, and he raised his head to face Zhen Shiniang's plain white face. There was a hint of exhaustion in her faint smile. When he carried her into the house, her pale, dead face flashed before his eyes. He shook his head and said, "No!" He lowered his head and started eating.
I wasn’t picky about it even if I didn’t like it, I just ate it one bite at a time.
Watching Shen Zhongqing gulp down his meal, Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized that this guy was not without merit.
After clearing the table, Shen Zhongqing remembered Zhen Shiniang's unfinished story in the morning and opened his mouth to let her continue. Seeing her tired look, Shen Zhongqing changed his words again, "Where did you see those?" Get a book. It’s the same thing when I go back and look at it.
What?
Zhen Shiniang raised her head in confusion, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat, "Didn't he ask me which medical book recorded the removal of peanuts from a dog's trachea?"
Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, he heard Shen Zhongqing say, "It's the story about the wolf disaster."
It turned out to be this, she had long forgotten it.
Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized that her heart lightened and her body sank again. This was what she had seen in her previous life.
How could she know which book in this life contained these things?
"It seems to be a travel journal..." Her mind raced, and she blurted out, "When I was a child, my father's study room was full of books, and I often went in secretly to read them." The Zhen family had long been ransacked, even if he could find out the Check the list. After such a disaster, it is normal to lose a few books.
After saying the words, Zhen Shiniang felt calmer.
Mentioning Zhen Shangshu, a trace of guilt flashed in Shen Zhongqing's eyes.
The air fell silent.
"...Let them all change their stories tomorrow." The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Zhen Shiniang was searching for a relaxing topic when Shen Zhongqing suddenly said.
Although it was still an unquestionable order, it still had a tone of discussion, so it didn't sound very harsh.
Zhen Shiniang was pleased but at the same time confused, "...what should I change?"
"...Just call me Madam." Shen Zhongqing turned his head awkwardly.
In the past, his father was the head of the family, so he called her grandma. His father passed away four years ago, and now that he is the head of the family, he should have asked these people to change their name to madam.
It turned out to be this, Zhen Shiniang suddenly realized.
He nodded and said, "I listen to the general."
It's just a title. You can call her whatever you want. It means that she has no chance of remarrying in this life. He likes to toss and let him go. There is a conniving attitude towards Jian Wen and Jian Wu in his words.
Thinking that she would object, he agreed just like that. A trace of astonishment flashed in Shen Zhongqing's eyes, and he quietly looked at her from the corner of his eye. She was as soft as water, as quiet as chrysanthemums... She was really different.
Seeing a trace of tiredness on his face, Zhen Shiniang stood up and asked, "General, take a nap?" Jian Wu and Jian Wen all have the habit of taking a nap, right?
"Well..." After having enough wine and food, he was really sleepy.
"...The general will have an early court appearance tomorrow." Seeing that Shen Zhongqing was about to take a break, Rong Sheng quickly reminded him.
Tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the first morning after the New Year, so there is no need to delay it.
I really like the quiet feeling of staying next to Zhen Shiniang, peace of mind and tranquility. Suddenly being reminded by Rong Sheng, Shen Zhongqing felt a hint of reluctance in his heart. When he came back to his senses, he was startled, and he frowned. Pick, his expression regained his majesty and condensation in an instant, "Prepare the car..."
After sending Shen Zhongqing away, Magpie simply closed the door, spread out the bedding, and asked Zhen Shiniang to rest on the kang. He also told Dong Ju, "...stay guard outside. If anyone comes, they will say that the lady is not at home."
On this day of the first lunar month, the curtains were closed before it got dark... Seeing Magpie stubbornly taking off her shoes and changing clothes, Zhen Shiniang shook her head, but did not object and allowed her to change into her quilt.
Talking and chatting with the leader was simply more strenuous than undergoing a major surgery. She was really tired.
Being forced into the quilt by the magpie, Zhen Shiniang was extremely lucky. At least she did not choose to serve the leader every day as a secretary in her previous life. If she had to suffer, she would only suffer in this life.
After tucking in the quilt, Magpie took the half-made clothes and sat next to Zhen Shiniang, "My servant is here to accompany you. If Miss can't sleep, let's talk..."
"Why are you sewing during the first lunar month?" Zhen Shiniang reached out to take it, "Isn't it too dark?" Doing needlework with the curtains drawn will hurt your eyes.
"After the third grade of junior high school, you can move the water and the needle." Seeing that Zhen Shiniang insisted on letting her open the curtains to do it, she put the small clothes aside, "It's not that I'm in a hurry. I have already made a few pieces of Gebu. I just watched it. The cotton fabric given by the lady was very good, so I thought of making two more pieces..."
"The Gebu is too hard. I used to keep those things and replace them with cotton ones." Zhen Shiniang stretched out her hand to touch the magpie's belly again, "How is it? The child has been obedient these past two days?"
"It's getting more and more dishonest..." Magpie's eyes sparkled when he mentioned the child, "My ribs hurt when I kicked him yesterday." He lifted up his clothes and pointed at the black line under his navel for Zhen Shiniang to see. "Miss, look, the black line is straight and clear, all the way to the bottom. Sister-in-law Li said that she will give birth to a son..." She looked at Zhen Shiniang with gleaming eyes, "Miss, can you tell me whether this baby is a daughter or a son?" ?”
She doesn't have B-ultrasound vision, how could she see this?
However, looking at the appearance of the magpie's fetus...the face is fair and the belly is pointed...it is really possible that he is a son.
However, in this era, son preference is too serious. If she said he is a son, once he is a daughter in the future... the thought flashed and he changed his mind, "I am not a god, how can I say this? My daughter and my daughter are all in my mother's heart." Meat, if you really want to talk about it, it's my daughter and my mother who care about each other. You see, Brother Wen and Brother Wu are shopping for more every day." Zhen Shiniang's tone was full of doting when she mentioned Jian Wu Jianwen.
The magpie giggled.
Zhen Shiniang changed the subject, "It's already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and you're going to give birth in just over two months, so it's time to settle on a stable wife..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to
