Shen Tianshu's massage technique is skillful, and combined with her specially prepared plaster, the coolness is very comfortable.
Shen Zhonglei only felt that his eyelids were getting heavy, and he actually fell asleep like this...
"Dad, it's time to get up!"
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Zhonglei was awakened. He was so frightened that he sat up and asked, "Why did I fall asleep? What time was it?"
"Dad, don't worry, I'm watching over you. You only slept for a quarter of an hour, so you still have time."
Only a quarter of an hour?
Shen Zhonglei was a little surprised. When he was just woken up, he felt that his originally groggy head was clear, and he felt as if he had slept well.
"Dad, I'll ask the maid to come in and help you freshen up. I'll go see if breakfast has been delivered."
After Shen Zhonglei washed and dressed, when he looked in the mirror and tidied up, he suddenly found that his originally gloomy complexion now looked much better.
It seems that the massage given by Shen Tianshu just now is really effective.
Shen Zhonglei came out of the room, and a hot breakfast had just been placed on the table outside.
Shredded chicken and japonica rice porridge, sesame paste rolls, beef pancakes, chestnut red bean pancakes...and a few side dishes.
Shen Tianshu said from the side: "I have to go out early this morning, and the fertility ceremony will also take a long time, so I asked the chef to make something to warm up and resist hunger after eating. I will have some stuffed later. Bring convenient snacks with you, so you can use a cushion if you get hungry.”
"You are very thoughtful."
Thinking of Shen Yunyao who came back drunk yesterday, Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh.
They are both daughters, so why are the differences in life so big?
"As for Yunyao, you don't have to worry."
"Dad, but..." Shen Tianshu had no intention of clarifying for Shen Yunyao, but he still had to make a gesture.
Sure enough, before she could finish her words, Shen Zhonglei waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, no need to say more. You are kind enough to explain it to her, but it's a pity that she can't hold up the wall with mud."
"Dad, could it be that he stayed up all night because he was angry with Yunyao last night?" Shen Tianshu looked surprised, as if he had no idea what happened to Shen Yunyao last night.
"Don't mention her now." Shen Zhonglei felt that his head, which had just become more comfortable, was beginning to feel a dull pain again, so he quickly interrupted Shen Tianshu, "Have you made all the preparations for the holidays at home?"
"Yes, although time is a little tight, after yesterday's busy day, we are basically ready according to last year's routine.
"In the morning, you and your mother will go to the countryside to pray for good fortune, and I will take Yunhui and everyone for an outing outside the city.
"The food we went out to eat has been prepared by the kitchen, and you can come directly after you finish with your mother.
"Let's go home together in the afternoon. There will be a lantern festival in the city in the evening. The government's float has been packed up. The flowers are easy to wither, so it takes the afternoon to start decorating the car. I have already arranged for the person in charge. I will definitely be ready before dark."
"Okay." Shen Zhonglei looked at Shen Tianshu with joy, "Shu'er has really grown up and does things in such an orderly manner. She is no longer the little girl who followed behind and only called daddy."
After Shen Zhonglei went out after breakfast, he was surprised to see the servants and government servants waiting outside the door.
Shen Tianshu also came out and whispered: "Dad, I heard that there seem to be some rumors in the city that are not good for our family recently. My daughter is worried that something will happen at today's fertility ceremony. After thinking about it, I still feel that I need to bring more Some people are safer."
Shen Zhonglei did not expect that Shen Tianshu would actually notice this matter.
After all, the rumor has not spread widely yet, and Shen Zhonglei just learned about it two days ago. Unexpectedly, Shen Tianshu responded to it.
A trace of regret flashed through Shen Zhonglei's heart again. It would be great if Shen Tianshu was not a girl but a son.
He raised his hand, patted Shen Tianshu's shoulder approvingly and said, "Okay, you should hurry back and have breakfast. Although you don't have to leave so early, you don't have to go too late, so that others will think we are showing off. "
"Okay, dad, just don't worry."
Shen Tianshu sent Shen Zhonglei all the way to the door. The carriage was already waiting outside.
Shen Zhonglei got in the car and found that Xu's complexion today could be described as rosy and shiny.
"Madam, you look good today!" Shen Zhonglei said without any words.
From two years ago to the present, the couple has spent almost all their time in quarrels and cold wars.
Now that Mrs. Xu saw Shen Zhonglei taking the initiative to speak, she immediately smiled like a flower and said: "Yes, Madam Tong is really a master of rejuvenation. After only taking two doses of medicine, I feel that I am almost healed."
"As long as you relax and don't think too much, there won't be any problems." Shen Zhonglei said, "I also asked Mrs. Tong to prescribe a prescription to replenish your body. I'll tell you later and let them give it to you every day. .”
"Thank you, sir." Mrs. Xu hadn't received Shen Zhonglei's attention for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel sore at the root of her nose, and her voice was a little more throaty.
The atmosphere in the carriage was rarely very harmonious. Even though the two of them did not speak for a while, when they arrived at the Flower Temple in Qifeng in the suburbs, Mrs. Xu still had the corners of her mouth raised and a smile in her eyes after getting off the carriage.
Originally thought that Mrs. Xu was terminally ill, now she appeared in front of people with a glowing face and a smile on her face.
Ms. Xu put on a new spring dress today. She wore a brown gown with long sleeves and a dark green floor-length skirt. She looked very dignified and steady.
There is a white double camellia in her hair, which makes her steady but also brings a hint of charm and playfulness, which can be said to be very decent.
The sun is high today and the spring breeze is warm. It is the best day to dry seeds and pray for good harvests.
The flower god worshiped by the people of Daqi is Ziyi, a disciple of Mrs. Wei, the first generation of the Shangqing sect. Although it is called the flower god, it actually controls the growth of all things in spring and summer.
"Huainanzi Tian Wen Xun" says: "Nvyi drums and songs are used to harmonize the sky, so that hundreds of grains, birds, animals, and trees can grow."
When Shen Zhonglei and his wife got out of the car, many people had gathered around the Flower Temple.
Everyone holds bowls of different shapes and sizes in their hands, which contain various seeds that they have sown this year. They are waiting for the harvest ceremony to end and to offer them to the Flower Temple to pray for a good autumn harvest.
"The road outside the city is not easy to walk, madam, be careful where you step." Shen Zhonglei looked after Xu in a graceful manner as he entered the Flower Temple.
At this time, the auspicious time has not yet arrived, so the two of them took a rest in the side hall.
Suddenly Mo Ze walked in quickly and said: "Master, Mr. Fan from Prince Rui's Mansion has brought someone here. He said that he was passing by here and heard that today's Flower Festival is to dry seeds to pray for a good harvest. He came here to pay homage to the master and also joined in the fun. "
Shen Zhonglei saw Mo Ze winking at him while talking, so he stood up and said to Mrs. Xu, "Madam, please wait in the side hall for a moment. Mr. Fan is here. I'll go and receive him."
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the side hall without waiting for Mrs. Xu's reaction.
