Chapter 7: It’s still dark (1)
Li Jingheng and Tantai Xuan stepped into the Moon Gate, Li Jingheng's handsome eyes filled with sarcasm.
Shen Baiyu regretted that he should not have let Jade take Dahuang away. Without Rhubarb to guard the gate, the plague god was let in.
Li Jingheng has a slender figure, a white jade crown with a black gemstone embedded in it, and two strands of hair hanging unruly on his cheeks. The black robe embroidered with dark patterns swayed with the ups and downs of his walk, making him very chic.
When Shen Shuer saw Li Jingheng, her pretty face was as red as a cloud. She thought about being bullied by Shen Baiyu just now, and her eye circles skillfully began to turn red. Shen Shuer said aggrievedly: "Brother Chen Wang, you have to make the decision for Shuer. I wanted to read the storybook, but the third sister refused to give it to me and even burned the storybook."
Shen Shuer has a fragile voice and a delicate and pitiful appearance. No man can resist the coquettishness of a young girl.
Li Jingheng put the white jade fan on Shen Shuer's shoulders and comforted her softly: "Fifth sister has been wronged."
Li Jingheng was looking far away just now and happened to see Shen Baiyu taking away the storybook. Shen Baiyu is thin, pale, and seemingly frail. But she snatched away her sister's storybook too quickly, and Li Jingheng could feel Shen Baiyu's malice.
What an ugly and bad girl.
Li Jingheng doesn't like such bad girls with dirty hearts. He prefers innocent and beautiful girls like Shen Shu'er.
Li Jingheng smiled tenderly at Shen Baiyu: "Third sister, for my sake, please apologize to fifth sister."
His smile was so beautiful that it charmed the girls in the capital until their cheeks turned red.
Li Jingheng had no doubt that this ugly girl Shen Baiyu would apologize immediately. Shen Baiyu was always obedient and was so obsessed with him.
The wind picked up again in the yard, causing the unwithered white plum blossoms in the yard to rustle to the ground. The cold wind made Shen Baiyu shiver. She raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful couple Li Jingheng and Shen Shuer. The man was arrogant and the woman was selfish. It was disgusting.
Shen Baiyu's heart surged and she said, "How much is your face worth?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, his throat rolled.
vomit--
Spit it out.
She drank two bowls of bitter medicine at noon, but the medicine was not fully digested in her stomach. At this moment, Gulu spit it all out, and the splash of black concoction splashed, soaking Li Jingheng's expensive black robe.
The air is filled with a bitter medicinal smell.
Li Jingheng's face turned red and white, then turned white and red again. He never expected this scene.
Jade was quite smart and quickly supported Shen Baiyu: "Your Majesty, King Chen, forgive me. My young lady has not recovered from the cold, and her dizziness and vomiting symptoms have not disappeared - Sister Manchun, please go and see the doctor."
Feicui helped Shen Baiyu into the house while Manchun went to ask for the doctor.
Only Li Jingheng, Shen Shuer and Tantai Xuan were left in the yard. Shen Shu'er had already begun to lose her temper. Bai Yu pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingertips: "My newly made clothes were stained by the third sister's spit. She must have done it on purpose!"
Tantai Xuan said: "The third sister is indeed infected with the cold, and she did not vomit on purpose."
Shen Shu'er didn't listen to reason. As long as it didn't go with her thoughts, she would ignore it.
Li Jingheng saw that Shen Shuer looked particularly cute and cute while holding up her skirt, and couldn't help but said, "Fifth sister, please don't be angry. I will take you and An Xing to the outskirts of Zhuangzi for an outing tomorrow afternoon, okay?"
Shen Shu'er immediately became happy: "Okay. I'll change my clothes first, brother Chen Wang, and Shu'er will come back to you later."
Shen Shuer ran away with her skirt.
The smile on Li Jingheng's face faded inch by inch. He looked down at the Chinese medicine juice stained on his clothes and almost hated Shen Baiyu to death.
Bullying her own sister and vomiting in public, how could there be such a disgusting girl in the world?
But Li Jingheng did not leave immediately. He still remembered the bet he made with his friends. Li Jingheng coughed slightly, walked to the door of the house and said loudly: "Third sister is having a good rest. The Peach Blossom Mountain spring banquet is waiting for third sister to attend."
After a pause, Li Jingheng opened the fan again and slowly added: "Recently, I particularly like Dongfang Wangdingji's steamed buns, but it's a pity that I can't buy freshly baked ones. If I can eat them tomorrow, I will have no regrets in this life."
His loud voice carried every word into the room.
He knew Shen Baiyu could hear it.
Tomorrow morning, Shen Baiyu will also deliver steaming steamed buns to your door on time. Li Jingheng raised the corners of his lips and left proudly.
In the wing room, when Shen Baiyu heard Li Jingheng's words, she felt uncontrollable nausea again and vomited.
Jade was anxious and touched Shen Baiyu's forehead. His forehead was hot and the temperature rose again.
Feicui hurriedly helped Shen Baiyu to bed and muttered: "Miss, please don't take it to heart what His Highness King Chen just said. Last time King Chen wanted to eat Zhou Ji's scones, you brought them to him in the rain and he took a few bites. Just throw it away. His Highness Prince Chen may not taste Wang Dingji's steamed buns."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that King Chen only treats Shen Baiyu for fun.
Shen Baiyu was very dizzy and groggy. Manchun invited the doctor over and started preparing and brewing medicine. After a lot of trouble, the sun set outside the window and the moon rose.
...
...
In the study room of the General's Mansion, Shen Zhenshan saw the broken bow and was immediately furious.
He received this bow from his father when he was ten years old and accompanied him on the battlefield through many ups and downs for decades, reflecting the glorious past of Shen Zhenshan. Now the eldest son is guarding the border and is serving in the capital. This long-honed bow has become rotten and cannot be used.
Even if the bow is broken, Shen Zhenshan will use tung oil to maintain his beloved bow every day. Now that the handle of the bow was broken at the waist, Shen Zhenshan called the steward and shouted sternly: "Who did this!"
The steward was trembling and murmured: "This..."
Of course the steward knew that it was the fifth lady who broke the general's bow.
But can the fifth lady be confessed?
Madam loves Fifth Miss like a pearl. If the steward points out Fifth Miss, she will not be able to survive in the General's Mansion in the future. After thinking for a while, the steward gritted his teeth and said, "I heard from the woman on duty outside that the third lady will come over this afternoon."
The manager has no psychological burden. Anyway, every time the fifth lady gets into trouble, the third lady will take the blame in the end.
Shen Zhenshan was furious: "This rebellious girl!"
Shen Zhenshan waved his sleeves heavily and was about to go to Baimei Courtyard to find Shen Baiyu. I happened to meet Tantai at the door of the study. Tantai was shocked: "Zhenshan, it's time to have dinner. Where are you going?"
Shen Zhenshan said in a rough voice, like an angry cow: "Baimeiyuan!"
Hearing that Shen Zhenshan was going to Baimei Courtyard, Tantai was secretly happy and followed him. She doesn't want to be a housekeeper anymore and wants to hand over the housekeeping rights to Shen Baiyu.
Tantai spent most of the day playing cards with her close friends, leaving some time to look through some account books. Shen Baiyu had been ill for two days, and the trivial matters in the back house gradually accumulated, requiring the Tantai family to manage them. But she hadn't been in charge of a house for a long time, and she just felt that housekeeping was complicated and tortuous, with countless connections, which was a headache, so she became timid and didn't want to take care of the house anymore.
Shen Zhenshan was very angry.
The group of people came to the remote Baimei Courtyard. It was already dark. The dim yellow lantern at the entrance of the small courtyard cast a vague light, and the gravel road was almost unclear. The wing room of Baimei Courtyard was lit by candlelight, and the surroundings were dark and somewhat desolate.
Shen Zhenshan rarely came to Baimei Courtyard. When he walked in at night, the cold air hit his face and made goosebumps appear on his arms. Tantai followed him, wrapping her fox fur cloak tightly around her and complaining: "It's too cold in the third girl's residence."
Shen Zhenshan suddenly felt a strange emotion in his heart.
When the door to the outer courtyard opened, Jade raised the lantern and took a look. She almost thought she was dreaming when she saw Shen Zhenshan, Tantai clan and five or six servants.
"General, madam." Jade saluted hurriedly.
Shen Zhenshan asked: "Where is the third girl? Let her come out to see me!"
Jade's heart sank to the end. She originally thought that the general and his wife were here to check on the third lady's illness, but she didn't expect that they were here to investigate. Jade replied: "Miss couldn't stop vomiting in the afternoon and had a high fever again. She took medicine and is still asleep."
Shen Zhenshan was stunned for a moment.
He was full of anger and ran to find his third daughter. He wanted to scold her, but he never expected that Shen Baiyu was sick. Mrs. Tantai frowned: "Three girls are still not well? I'll go in and take a look."
