Chapter 152 The time comes (1)
On the first day of the first lunar month, it is the dynasty, and there are court congratulations, and there are both honors and officials. Women of the third rank and above must also enter the palace. This is why the Shen family members worshipped their early years after the afternoon of the night last night.
When the Shen family left last night, Xu told them to eat for themselves. Shen Rui did not be lazy and woke up early. Chen Zhu slept soundly in the west room and had no movement.
Because Wang Shouren also wanted to come to the palace to congratulate him, Shen Rui was not in a hurry to go out.
Hao's mother brought Dongxi, Liu Ya and others to kowtow to Shen Rui. The two little maids who were assigned here, Ruyi, Kou'er followed behind, and Changshou and Liu Cheng also came over.
Starting from Mama Hao, all the servants and maids kowtowed to Shen Rui in turn to greet New Year's greetings.
Since Shen Rui was exposed to the privilege and lived a life of a slave, he would not pretend to say "everyone is equal" but he was more respectful to those who were older. He ordered Dong Xi and Liu Ya to help Hao's mother get up.
The purse was already packed yesterday, and Shen Rui signaled Dongxi to give it one by one.
Shen Rui was always generous when serving the people around him. Even Hao's mother, who was a little concerned about Songjiang's children and grandchildren, was satisfied with the weight of her purse. She felt that it was not in vain to go to Beijing. The two maids were also happy, and they were just assigned to the living yard to catch up with the New Year. She thought that Shen Rui was young and probably didn't expect the New Year to be rewarded, but she didn't expect it to be.
Everyone stood up happily. No matter what elsewhere in the house was sinking, the living yard felt a little happy to celebrate the festival.
"I heard that there are temple fairs everywhere in the city, but the whole mansion will be busy these two days. We are staying in the guest house, but we should save some trouble. When it is the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month, we can see if we can ask for a carriage and let my mother take you out for a walk." Shen Rui glanced at Hao's mother, smiled at Dongxi, and Liu Ya said.
Dongxi was happy, while Liuya cheered.
Everyone has been in the house since they entered Beijing and have not yet gone out. Dongxi and Liu Ya are naturally moved, Ruyi and Guer are also envious. Hao's mother flatters her with a smile, but secretly notices that Shen Rui and Dongxi and Liu Ya are getting along.
Shen Rui is already thirteen years old, and it is not too early to have people in the house at this time.
However, seeing Shen Rui's warm expression, when he looked at Dong Xi and Liu Ya's eyes were not lewd, Hao's mother couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
In his early years, he was a confidant of Zhang Lao'an. The master and servant shared the same hatred for the enemy and did not say bad things about Sun. However, based on his conscience, Sun was a kind person and never beat and scolded his servants in the morning and evening. In the eyes of Hao's mother, Shen Rui and Xiao's mother looked deserted, but she was really not bad at waiting for the servants, and her heart was still soft.
If Shen Rui really adopted the second wife, it would be much better than in Songjiang. I just don’t know if Lao An would be really happy after "the wish is fulfilled". But the elder brother there is probably a hard time in the future. Even if his homework is good, he may not be as good as his second brother if he passes the imperial examination and the Jinshi exam.
"Brother Rui is so lively here." The harsh duck voice sounded, and it was Chen Qin and Chen Bao who came together.
Shen Rui hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat. Mama Hao took the servants to see the two young masters, so she stepped down. Dongxi stayed to serve tea.
"I heard that your uncle and uncle will not be back at noon. There was nothing wrong this morning, so we invited Brother Zhu Jiu. Where can I play with my second brother Lin? " Chen Qin suggested enthusiastically.
Shen Rui pointed to the west room and said, "Brother Zhu Jiu looked for me last night, and then he rested in the west room."
Chen Qin was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said, "It's all about Chenzheng, why are Brother Jiu still lying high? Let's go over and take a look."
Shen Rui thought about Shichen and realized something was wrong, so he got up and took Chen Qin and Chen Bao over.
Chen Zhu's body was curled with a quilt, like a cicada pupa, but his face was flushed.
"Brother Jiu slept sweetly. How late did he go to bed?" Chen Qin hummed lightly, with a little hesitation on her face. It seemed that she was not sure whether she came forward to wake up Chen Zhu.
Shen Rui saw something was wrong, so he stepped forward a few steps, walked to the edge of the kang, reached out to try Shenzhu's forehead, which was burning hot.
Chen Qin and Chen Bao saw that his movements were not right, so he came forward.
Shen Rui hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Jiu came over the snow last night. It was probably because of the night wind that caused the cold. Brother Qin's body has always been thin. Don't be sick."
This guy looks like he has a cold, but who knows he can't beat him?
Chen Zhu was already burning in a daze. Shen Rui called "Brother Jiu" twice, but he didn't see him open his eyes, and he just replied in a vague way: "Why are you still calling "Brother Jiu, second brother?"
Shen Rui didn't react for a moment. Chen Zhu had already grabbed Shen Rui's sleeve and smacked his lips: "Mom, let's have half a plate of sugar cake..."
He usually carried the money from his clan brothers in the school, and he often showed his brothers' attitudes as a elder brother during the trip. Now he is like a toddler, calling his mother and cakes. Shen Rui, Chen Qin, and Chen Bao look at each other, laughing and crying.
Shen Rui pulled his sleeve, but Chen Zhu grabbed it tightly, so he had to whisper: "Brother Jiu, let me go first, and I will make some cake for you later...
Shen Rui handed over and muttered: "If you stay in the capital from now on, you will not be able to eat sugar cake..."
If the previous sentence "Second Brother" is inexplicable, this sentence will be a reflection of the scene.
Shen Rui's mouth twitched, Chen Qin and Chen Bao looked at Chen Zhu in a daze, with a strange look.
Needless to say, it is important to hire a doctor now.
Shen Rui and Chen Qin and Chen Bao came out and immediately ordered someone to tell the housekeeper to ask for a doctor.
Logically speaking, even if the eldest master, the second master and the Xu family entered the palace, there were three masters in the Shen house. However, the second wife and the third master were both sick, and only the third wife was a spiritual person. However, if you want to alarm the third wife, you will inevitably alarm the third master. Although the snow stopped outside, it was colder than yesterday. When the third master came out, he was told by the eldest master and his wife again. It would be better not to bother him about these things.
Chen Qin's expression gradually calmed down, and she felt that Chen Zhu was sick and talking about her son in her sleep. She was ridiculous and pitiful. Looking at the west room, she couldn't help but worry: "Why is Brother Jiu sick at this time? Nothing will happen?"
Shen Rui was not sure, thinking that although the ground dragon in the west room was also burning, it was as warm as the east room, Chenzhu had a cold, which shouldn't have caught a cold while sleeping. As for Chenzhu when he came last night, he was wrapped in a cloak. How much wind could it blow?
Thinking of this, Shen Rui felt a little at ease.
Shen Rui's situation looks like a cold caused by night wind, but the root cause is not the night wind, but the fatigue of more than a month.
Chen Zhu is a pride of the third house, and this journey is enough for him to eat a pot.
Chen Bao also thought about the troubles of the journey and said, "It should be fine. Brother Jiu was too nervous a while ago, and everyone was tired on the way. Now a disease has been triggered, so it is a good thing to take a rest for a few more days..."
After taking a cup of tea, not only did the housekeeper come in a hurry, but also Mama Zhou rushed over in a hurry.
Fortunately, the housekeeper got the accurate letter and knew that the person who was sick was Chen Zhu; Zhou's mother got a message from him and thought that the person who was sick was Shen Rui.
Seeing that Shen Rui was fine and also knew that Shen Zhu was sick, Zhou's mother felt relieved.
It’s not that she flattered Shen Rui and looked down on Chen Zhu, because Shen Rui was older and her body was naturally stronger; in addition, Shen Rui was the heir chosen by the second wife. If there was a mistake, how could the masters and wives bear it?
After the housekeeper received the news, he did not immediately send someone to invite the doctor. At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, everyone celebrated the New Year, so it was hard to ask the doctor to come. It would be unlucky to invite the doctor to the door. He was afraid that Shen Rui was young and did not know the importance of the seriousness, so he "furious" when he saw his brothers' uncomfortable health, so he came over to take a look.
Seeing that Chen Zhu was really sick and the fever was so severe that the housekeeper dared not delay, so he immediately arranged for the carriage to go out and invite the doctor.
When the eldest master, the second master and Xu came back from the palace, the doctor had already come to check Chen Zhu's pulse and gave him a prescription.
As soon as I returned home, a housekeeper reported to several masters and wives about Chen Zhu's illness.
The eldest master and his wife and the second master did not even change their dresses, so they went directly to the living yard.
Mother Zhou took care of her here, Shen Rui, Chen Qin and Chen Bao were all there, and when they saw several masters and ladies coming, they all stood up to greet her.
Although Xu was puzzled in his heart how Chen Zhu would stop here, it was not the time to ask about this now.
After listening to Zhou's mother's words, I knew that Chen Zhu was tired of traveling before, and his body became weak, which caused external evil to enter the body. He only needed to take medicine to treat it for a few days to replenish his vitality, and it was not serious. Xu, the eldest master and the second master both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were not close to the Songjiang tribe, the clan nephews were brought north by Xu and chose a heir for the second house. If Chen Zhu really had something wrong, they would be unhappy.
The second master had just had an illness, and the eldest master was a little weak. After a morning of congratulations, the brothers couldn't stand it, so Xu urged them to go back and change their clothes.
Xu stayed and looked at Chen Qin. Chen Bao said, "I know you care about your clan brothers, but don't stay here. I'll get sick carefully. You are getting older. You should know how to cherish yourself and don't let your elders worry."
Chen Qin and Chen Bao listened honestly and went back obediently.
Xu looked at Shen Rui again, but hesitated.
According to her opinion, even if Chen Zhu is not able to move when he is sick, Shen Rui should be moved out. He is still living in the same place. What should I do if I get sick? Shen Rui is much younger than Chen Zhu and has been running all the way.
But where should I move?
East cross-age hospital? Or main courtyard cross-age hospital? Or elsewhere?
The main courtyard was empty for a long time and could not live in someone else's place, and the same was true for the rest of the room. The house where Chen Quan lived in the East Village Hospital was empty.
Although Chen Quan went to live in his brother's house, he was also a small guest she invited to Beijing. Now he even had to occupy the house, and it seemed like he was driving people away.
Shen Rui could not guess how Chen Qin and Chen Bao were thinking about the cold infection, so how could he not guess Xu's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, my nephew is fine here, there is a room for the place to divide it..."
When Xu heard this, he frowned and was still a little uneasy: "Why should Brother Rui move to the inner study room for a few days?"
Shen Rui has been to Xu's upper room and naturally knows that the so-called "inner study room" is the east wing of the main courtyard. Wouldn't it be under the eyes of the master and Xu?
Shen Rui hurriedly said, "Oh my dear, this is not a problem... Otherwise, when Brother Six and his clan brothers come here today, I will follow them to bother you for two days.
