"What if I know about it?" Shen Zhonglei's voice suddenly came from behind Shen Tianshu, startling both of them.
When Shen Yunyao saw Shen Zhonglei, she immediately clung to him coquettishly and said, "Dad, are you back? You're not the eldest sister yet. She has been running around when there are guests at home these days, and she doesn't come back for lunch. It's getting dark now. I just came back. Today, the Zhao family sister asked about the eldest sister, and I don’t know what to say."
Shen Zhonglei frowned when he heard this, but he did not directly blame Shen Tianshu. He first asked: "Shu'er, what did you do today? Why did you come back so late?"
Shen Tianshu turned around and took the scroll held in Mingyu's hand, unfolded it and said: "I went to the Yaowang Temple today to pray for Mrs. Zhao. This is the Yaowang Sutra to pray for. I hope that Mrs. Zhao can recover as soon as possible."
The Yaowang Temple in Yongzhou Prefecture is very famous in the entire Erhuguang area. According to legend, Yaowang Bodhisattva once appeared here, so the incense has always been very prosperous. If you want to get a volume of Yaowang Sutra, you must at least go to the temple. You have to kneel down for a few hours.
Shen Zhonglei looked at Shen Tianshu's tired face with distress and said, "You are such a down-to-earth kid. Are you exhausted from the day today?"
"Father, don't worry." Shen Tianshu smiled at Shen Zhonglei, "The Yaowang Temple is right in the city, and the conditions are much better than those in the mountain temple outside the city."
Shen Zhonglei took two steps forward, walked to Shen Tianshu's side and said, "Let's go, dad will take you to give the King of Medicine Sutra to Mrs. Zhao."
Shen Yunyao didn't expect this at all, and was quickly left behind by the father and daughter. She couldn't help but stamp her feet in anger.
"You're such a good Shen Tianshu, I don't believe I can't catch you!"
In Dongkua Courtyard, because Mrs. Zhao has not recovered yet, there are two extra charcoal pots placed in the room, which is as warm as spring.
Shen Tianshu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as she walked in. The conditions at the nursing home were effective, but she was frozen to death that day.
Zhao Qu was sitting in the main room reading a book. When he saw Shen Zhonglei coming in, he hurriedly stood up to greet him and said, "It's about to have dinner. Why is Shi Xian here? Is there something wrong?"
Shen Zhonglei turned around slightly and let out Shen Tianshu who was following him: "This is my daughter. Today she went to the Chinese Medicine King Temple in the city to ask for a volume of Medicine King Sutra from the old lady. As soon as she came back, she hurriedly wanted to give it to the old lady. send over."
Zhao Qu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Then he saw Shen Tianshu's tired face, and his heart felt warm again, so he quickly stepped inside.
"How embarrassing." Zhao Qu said and walked towards the inner room, "Mom, look, this is the Medicine King Sutra that Miss Shen asked for for you. This child is really thoughtful."
After Mrs. Zhao took the medicine for a few days, she was already feeling better, but she still had some symptoms of wind and cold, and was still coughing and wheezing, but she was no longer seriously ill and just needed a good life.
Hearing what her son said, she hurriedly pushed herself up and sat up and said, "It's all because of me, an old woman, who failed to live up to expectations. She got seriously ill on the road. Not only did my son almost get hurt, but Master Shen's family also became worried."
Shen Tianshu held the Medicine King Sutra in a cloth bag with both hands, handed it to Madam Zhao and said, "I hope Madam Zhao can recover soon."
Mrs. Zhao took it over and saw that the navy blue bag was actually very delicately made. There was also a miniature version of Yaowang Temple embroidered on the bottom. The bag was tied with a tie made of silk thread. She untied the bag and took out the contents inside. Scroll, unfold the scroll with the help of the maid.
As soon as the scroll was unfolded, a refreshing herbal smell immediately emitted, which made people feel refreshed.
Shen Tianshu explained: "The Yaowang Sutra in the Yaowang Temple in Yongzhou Prefecture is different from the ink used elsewhere. It was made by the monks in the temple themselves. It contains medicinal materials that are good for the body, and the medicine on the scroll The fragrance lasts for a long time.”
Mrs. Zhao beckoned Shen Tianshu to come to her, took her hand, and felt that her hands were cold, and she was even more moved.
"Look at how cold the child is. His hands are so cold. You have worked really hard today."
"My father and Mr. Zhao are good friends. You are just like my grandmother. This is what the younger generation should do. If the Zhao brother and sister were not familiar with Yongzhou Mansion, how could they do such a filial piety to the old lady? Get me? They have already rushed to do it."
What Shen Tianshu said was so clever that not only Mrs. Zhao was very happy, but also Mrs. Zhao beside her smiled.
Mrs. Zhao even held on to Shen Tianshu, touched her hand, and looked at her appearance. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She sighed and said: "What a good girl, beautiful and filial. It's a pity that my grandson was not lucky enough to get married early."
Shen Tianshu lowered his head pretending to be embarrassed.
If Mr. Zhao hadn't arranged the engagement early, how could she have dared to use the Medicine King's Scripture as an excuse to help herself escape.
If something goes wrong and the two families start thinking about getting married, who will she go to to reason with?
Mrs. Zhao held on to Shen Tianshu and refused to let go, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Ask the cook to cook more dishes tonight, add another pot, and ask Jun Rong to come over and eat with Miss Shen. Stop tossing the child back and forth. Let her warm up first before talking."
Seeing that his mother was happy, Zhao Qu also said: "Don't go back then, Xian. Send someone to tell your younger siblings that they will eat together tonight, and how about we brothers also have a drink together?"
"Of course that's good!" Shen Zhonglei was also very happy when he heard this. Because Mrs. Zhao was still ill, he didn't have the chance to reminisce with Zhao Qu. Now this is not an opportunity.
"Mo Ze, go and tell Madam that Shu'er and I will stay here tonight to disturb the Zhao family. Let her take the children to eat."
In the main room of the Shen family, Shen Yunyao was complaining to Mr. Xu about Shen Zhonglei's preference for Shen Tianshu, but Mr. Xu in turn scolded him: "Do you know why your father favors Shen Tianshu? Isn't it because she can please your father? Why does she In the cold weather, I went to the Yaowang Temple to ask for the Yaowang Sutra? Is it really just to pray for Mrs. Zhao’s speedy recovery? Or is it just to please your father? You, you, I have really spoiled you, how can I please you? Dad doesn’t even know how!”
Shen Yunyao was already aggrieved. Instead of being comforted when she came to complain, she was actually taught a lesson. She said angrily: "If mom is so good at pleasing dad, why are you quarreling and angry with dad? Don't think I don't know. Tian Ke sleeps in Ping’s mother’s room! Shen Yunhui’s hooves, his face has been full of pride for the past two days!”
Mrs. Xu was hit hard by her daughter's words. Before she could get angry, she saw Hanqiao enter the room and said: "Madam, Mo Ze has come to send a message, saying that the master and the eldest daughter will stay at the Zhao family in Dongkuaoyuan for dinner tonight. Madam takes the girl and brother to eat."
"Whether love comes back or not, I don't care if he comes back for dinner!" Mrs. Xu threw the embroidered support in her hand towards the door, "Let the chef kill the deer, and we ladies will barbecue it ourselves!"
Hanqiao said in surprise: "Madam, didn't you buy that deer specifically to make it for the master to eat?"
Xu said angrily: "He won't come back to eat, so why should I leave it for him?"
