Mingyu quickly stood up and carried the candlestick into the room to check.
Shen Tianshu's cheeks were red, and his hair, which he had just dried before going to bed, was soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead and side of his face.
"Girl!" Mingyu quickly put the candlestick aside and gently pushed it twice to wake up Shen Tianshu. Only then did he realize that her body was burning hot and she had already developed a high fever.
Mingyu knew nothing about medical skills and wanted to call for a doctor. However, thinking of the things that happened in the city today and fearing to cause trouble to Shen Tianshu, he had to call Minghui first, who had some medical skills.
"The girl is frightened today. She has a severe fever and keeps talking nonsense. What should we do?"
Minghui put on some clothes casually, pulled on her embroidered shoes, and hurriedly followed Mingyu to Shen Tianshu's room.
When she saw Shen Tianshu's condition, Minghui was also shocked and immediately said: "We can't delay, we have to call a doctor quickly!"
Mingyu was already worried about Shen Tianshu's health. When Minghui said this, he immediately didn't think much about it. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go find my brother and ask him to ask Dr. Zhang to come over!"
After all, Shen Tianshu was so feverish that she didn't dare to risk inviting other doctors over. Zhang Muqiu was one of her own no matter what.
Because something big happened in the city today, although Qiu Jun had been staying in the carriage during the day, after sending Shen Tianshu back to Shen Mansion, he did not risk going home. Instead, he stayed next to the stable of Shen Mansion. I found a random place in the room and planned to spend the night.
He said it was just a deal, but he was a person whom the eldest girl valued, and he was also the elder brother of the eldest girl's personal maid, so his status was unusual.
Moreover, Qiu Jun was originally from a poor family, otherwise he would not have sold his sister into the Shen Mansion as a maid in order to survive.
In the past few years, thanks to Shen Tianshu, life at home has become better, so he has no airs at all. He usually gets along well with the people in the stable and often brings over some food cooked by his mother or daughter-in-law. I give it to everyone to try, so it has always been very popular.
When the steward at the stable heard that he was staying overnight, he immediately offered the cleanest room to him. He also sent someone to the kitchen to say hello and brought him back a dinner.
Today, the front office was so busy that the lights were bright. From time to time, people came to take horses and change horses. Naturally, the people in the stables also followed them. Not only did they have to keep guard at the stables, but they also had to constantly carry water and prepare fodder for the horses that were brought back.
Zou Jun didn't go back to rest by himself after eating. Instead, he went over to help and chatted casually with people coming and going.
He understood that the reason why Shen Tianshu valued him was mostly because he felt that he was Mingyu's natal brother and half of his own, so he could be used with confidence.
But Qiu Jun didn't want to rely solely on his sister's relationship, he still hoped that he could be more useful to Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu asked him to go out to help find out the news before, but he didn't do well, and he was upset for a long time after he came back.
Later, I thought that when I was a coachman in Yongzhou Prefecture, couldn't I still help Shen Tianshu get information?
So he recently took advantage of this advantage again. Who said that small things are not important? He might be able to find out some helpful news for Shen Tianshu!
At this moment, he was pouring a cup of hot tea and handed it to Qiao Shuoming, patted his shoulder and said: "Qiao Yamen, don't worry, sit down and drink some water, take a breath and go out in time, it won't be too late."
Qiao Shuoming was the young government servant who used his body to block Shopkeeper Liu who wanted to hit the pillar and die.
That time he was hit in the chest and abdomen by Shopkeeper Liu, and it took him some days to recover.
The physical pain earned Shen Zhonglei extra respect, but it also brought him a lot of trouble.
After all, Qiao Shuoming was young, had no foundation and no backing, so suddenly gaining recognition inevitably made him feel a little isolated from his colleagues.
Tonight's city-wide manhunt was the same. Shen Zhonglei gave him four people to lead a team to search an area in the east of the city.
But those four people didn't really listen to his orders. Instead, they went their own way, doing their own thing in pairs, without paying any attention to him, the so-called squad leader.
Although he was riding a horse, he kept running back and forth on both sides, and the horse soon became panting.
He happened to be very depressed, so he said hello to the four people and went back to the Yamen to change horses.
At this time, he took the tea at the right temperature from Qiu Jun and drank it all in one breath, as if this was the only way to extinguish the small fire that was rising in his heart.
"I'll pour you another glass, don't be anxious, drink slowly." Qiu Jun accumulated some experience in observing people's behavior during those years of driving. When he saw Qiao Shuoming, he felt that he had a lot to talk about, and he only needed someone to help him.
Open an opening.
So Qiu Jun simply sat across from him holding the teapot and got close to him.
One of them poured the tea and the other drank the tea. The pot of tea was quickly drained, and Qiao Shuoming finally started talking.
"Brother Qiu, you don't know that the life I'm living now is so frustrating!"
"What are you feeling aggrieved about? You are now highly regarded by Master Shen. Even me, the driver, has heard about it. Master Shen has just taken office, and with the support of Prince Rui's Palace, being the magistrate of Wuchang Prefecture is not like a duck to water. You just need to
If you follow Mr. Shen well, you will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
"Then I have to be able to survive until then!" Qiao Shuoming sighed deeply, "Brother Qiu, you don't know something. Now I..."
Seeing that Qiao Shuoming was about to get to the point, someone suddenly came over and said, "Brother Qiu, Miss Mingyu is looking for you at the second door. She said there is something urgent and she wants you to hurry over!"
Every night in the Shen Mansion, the two doors connecting the inner and outer houses are locked.
Different from each courtyard locking its own courtyard doors, the second door is locked every day by the stewardess who is on duty that night, and the key is handed over to the lady in charge of the middle room. The next morning, the stewardess who takes over the shift will pick it up and reopen the door.
.
You must not open it at will unless there is something important at night. Even if there is important news from outside to be sent to the inner house, you need to knock on the cloud board outside the second door to send the message.
So Mingyu could only ask the boy outside the second door to go to the stable and call his brother.
Qiu Jun knew that his sister was not an ignorant person, and it was definitely not for himself that she was so anxious. Something must have happened to the eldest girl.
So he didn't bother chatting with Qiao Shuoming, stood up and said, "Qiao Yamen, don't think too much about it now. I'll treat you to a drink, and we brothers will chat slowly. I'll go over first to see if it's okay."
Miss, do you have any important instructions?"
Qiao Shuoming finally wanted to find someone to talk to someone about his concerns. When he was suddenly interrupted, he felt a little tight in his chest. He simply stood up and said: "Brother Qiu, I'll go take a look with you. If something really happens, I might help you."
