and leave

When Shen Wangshu followed Dr. Fang to the main courtyard, Patriarch Lu was taking a walk in the courtyard—he is now in a much better condition, and apart from being weak, he doesn't have to worry about the wound getting worse, so the range of walking has also begun to expand.

Seeing the two of them entering the hospital, Patriarch Lu first asked Doctor Fang: "Doctor Fang, what's the matter with Ah Qing, but did you fall into the water yesterday and catch the cold?"

Before Dr. Fang heard the words, Shen Wangshu looked over first, with some nervousness and embarrassment, afraid that he would tell the truth.

Fortunately, Dr. Fang is not unreasonable, he didn't look at Shen Wangshu, but replied: "Patriarch, don't worry, your husband just catches a cold occasionally. In addition, she has a good foundation, and she will be fine after taking two medicines."

There is nothing wrong with the wind and cold, and there is nothing wrong with taking medicine. What Dr. Fang said is the truth.

Shen Wangshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Patriarch Lu also felt relieved after hearing the words: "Then there will be Doctor Laofang."

Doctor Fang didn't dare to say anything, and saw Shen Wangshu coming, obviously he wanted to talk to Patriarch Lu, so he left with a wink.

As soon as Doctor Fang left, Patriarch Lu's eyes turned to Shen Wangshu: "Tell me, what else is there besides Ah Qing's illness?"

Patriarch Lu's gaze was very sharp, and he could tell at a glance that Shen Wangshu was full of worries today, and since this concern had nothing to do with Lu Yiqing's illness, it must have happened something else - he couldn't guess the specifics, after all, what should have happened last night? What Shen Wangshu said has already been said.

Shen Wangshu pondered for a moment when he heard the words, but decided to tell the truth: "Father, just listen to me. When I went back last night, Ah Qing told me that she had a dream last afternoon..." Then she will Lu Yiqing briefly narrated his dreams, and then added his own guesses and opinions, gradually making Patriarch Lu become serious.

After Shen Wangshu finished speaking, Patriarch Lu also fell into deep thought, obviously digesting this incredible thing.

The two stood quietly in the courtyard like this for a long time, and then Patriarch Lu let out a breath: "Do you think that dream is real?"

Shen Wangshu wasn't sure, but she was indeed affected by the dream, so she thought for a while and said, "I asked Ah Qing about the details, and she said that in four days, there will be a battle report from the Northwest to Chang'an. The Wei family army on the border lost five cities in a row, and the main reason for this defeat was the shortage of food and pay for the Wei family army. In the end, this matter was directly implicated in the household department and the military department, resulting in the sacking of a large number of officials from the two departments."

The reason why Lu Yiqing in the dream knew this was because in the dream, on the fifth day after her death, King Xiang personally came to Lu's house to express his condolences.And this so-called condolence is of course fake, his purpose of coming is to persecute Shen Wangshu who is already a widow.It's just that the words of persecution have not been said much, and the ferocious face of King Xiang has not been revealed, the palace came, and people rushed to find King Xiang to return to the mansion.

As a bystander in the dream, Lu Yiqing also heard the whispers of the visitors, and they were talking about the defeat of the Wei family army.Coupled with some piecemeal information integration later, Shen Wangshu finally came to the above conclusion.

Of course, the sacking of the two officials is also a game of imperial power, and this time King Xiang lost because his people embezzled the military salary.

He was really short of money, and after that, he pressed Shen Wangshu harder and harder, and finally married Shen Wangshu back to the palace as he wished.

But Shen Wangshu would not tell Patriarch Lu about remarriage or something.Not to mention that speaking out might add to the rift between the two parties, even Shen Wangshu felt that she felt the same when she thought about it—she was actually very lucky, glad that although the dream was real, at least Lu Yiqing was still alive and well.

After hearing this, Patriarch Lu's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "If these are true, how long will it be before the two officials fall?"

Shen Wangshu thought for a while, then replied: "About half a month to one month, Ah Qing herself can't tell."

Dreaming is something like being in a trance, and it's not like reality goes by day by day, it's normal for the dream to turn around for a few years.Patriarch Lu was not disappointed after hearing this, on the contrary, having this specific time was already a pleasant surprise for him.

Raising his hand and stroking his short beard, Patriarch Lu's eyes sparkled, and he finally decided: "Then wait for another four days. If there is a battle report from the northwest after four days, then Ah Qing's dream can be believed."

Shen Wangshu knew that if Lu Yiqing's dream was really accepted, then the future layout of the Lu family would be changed accordingly.Just like the example she mentioned, the household department and the military department were liquidated by the emperor for delaying the military plane, and King Xiang would be implicated to some extent.At that time, he must be so focused on political affairs that he has no energy to stare at a Lu family, and the Lu family can just take advantage of this to get away.

Knowing the future means one step ahead, step by step, and it is not difficult to counter him.

The conclusion of this matter was reached, and it took a while for the dream to confirm it. When Shen Wangshu calmed down, he remembered another thing.She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "Father, there is something I think we should treat seriously."

After listening to Shen Wangshu's narration, Patriarch Lu actually guessed what she wanted to say, he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it, I know."

Shen Wangshu raised his eyes to look at him, and saw Patriarch Lu's face was serious, and he continued in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say is Your Majesty. Your Majesty has developed a habit of forbearance for many years, and now even if he is in charge of the world, he is still cautious. The action was too slow, which gave King Xiang an opportunity, and now his only advantage is righteousness." After a pause, he continued: "It is difficult for such a king to become a master."

As a merchant, Patriarch Lu's vision is undoubtedly far beyond that of ordinary people, and he also relied on this keenness to break into the current family business.But even if he knew that the emperor was not the Ming lord, and that what King Xiang wanted was their father and daughter's life, he still had no choice.

But now, knowing the future fate, the Lu family may choose another path.

****************************************************************************

Lu Yiqing caught a cold and had a fever, and even after drinking the medicine, she still had a fever all day long, which made her very weak and uncomfortable.

She slept in a drowsy state for most of the day, occasionally opened her eyes and seemed to see Shen Wangshu standing by the bed, but before she could fully open her eyes, she fell asleep again as soon as she closed them.During the period, it seemed that someone fed her medicine, and someone fed her porridge, and she was still in a daze.

It wasn't until the evening when the sky was getting dark and the lights were lit in the house that Lu Yiqing finally woke up from his stupor.

Then she opened her eyes and looked at the bedside. There was no one there, and she stood up and looked around again, but she still didn't see the person she wanted to see—could it be her illusion that seeing her daughter-in-law guarding the bedside before?Then who is feeding her porridge and medicine?

Lu Yiqing was still in a daze when he heard the door being pushed open with a "squeak".

Shen Wangshu came in with a medicine bowl, and immediately saw Lu Yiqing sitting up and half sitting on the bed, half of the brocade quilt covering his body fell off without noticing it.She frowned slightly, and strode over: "You don't lie down properly after waking up, do you think you are not sick enough?"

While speaking, Shen Wangshu held the medicine bowl in one hand, and covered the quilt again for Lu Yiqing with the other.

Lu Yiqing took advantage of the situation and grabbed his wife's hand, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "I didn't see you when I woke up, so I thought you weren't here."

Shen Wangshu always softened his heart when facing her, and at this time his expression could not help but relax a bit, but remembering the other party's willfulness last night, he pushed back that softness again.She withdrew her hand, and shoved the medicine bowl into Lu Yiqing's hand: "Drink the medicine."

Lu Yiqing's face turned bitter instantly, holding the medicine bowl pitifully: "This medicine is so bitter, you still don't allow me to eat candied fruit."

Shen Wangshu turned his eyes away from her pitiful appearance, thinking that if he didn't teach her a lesson, this guy would dare to mess around next time.So she hardened her heart, and still said: "You are not a child, the medicine is for your own benefit, there is no candied fruit."

Seeing that she was determined, Lu Yiqing gave up, but still wanted to ask for some benefits for herself: "Then I want you to feed me."

Shen Wangshu turned back to look at her when he heard the words, that look was slightly complicated, as if saying: Do you really treat yourself like a child?Open your eyes and see no one is going to make a fuss, and you have to be fed when you drink medicine.

Lu Yiqing immediately understood her eyes, she felt a little ashamed for no reason, but in fact she was really clingy - I won't talk about it yesterday, if it wasn't for her being so dizzy and unable to get out of bed this morning, I'm afraid This day is also going to stick to Shen Wangshu's side.

Fortunately, Shen Wangshu just gave her a look, and immediately took the medicine bowl back with a look of helplessness on her face: "Forget it, since you want me to feed you, then I will feed you, as long as you don't Just regret it."

Lu Yiqing became happy when he heard the words, and said innocently: "Wangshu is the best, what do I have to regret?"

Shen Wangshu smiled at her innocence, then said nothing, took the medicine bowl and picked up the spoon, and began to feed the patient the medicine.

Seeing that Shen Wangshu blew the medicine to cool down carefully, Lu Yiqing fed it to herself. Seeing her gentle and delicate appearance made people feel happy.For a moment, she even had the illusion that what Shen Wangshu fed her was not medicinal juice, but honey water.

Then this illusion was shattered the moment the soup was taken in... Well, the traditional Chinese medicine is still so unpalatable, not to mention bitter and astringent, the taste of the soup will still linger in the mouth for a long time.

Lu Yiqing subconsciously wrinkled her face, finally waited until the bitter taste in her mouth subsided, and Shen Wangshu brought another spoonful of medicine.She pursed her lips, opened her mouth for the sake of her daughter-in-law, and took another mouthful. After Shen Wangshu fed the fifth spoonful, but only a thin layer of decoction was missing in the medicine bowl, Lu Yiqing finally Couldn't help it: "Wang Shu, you don't need to feed me, I'd better drink it myself."

After finishing speaking, as if afraid of Shen Wangshu's insistence, Lu Yiqing bit the bullet and snatched the medicine bowl directly, and then drank it up with his head up--no matter how bad the drink is, it will pass after a while, taking small sips Drinking is really a blunt knife cutting flesh, a long torture.

Seeing her like this, Shen Wangshu couldn't help laughing at the corners of his lips, and looked at this person asking for trouble in his spare time.

Lu Yiqing's mouth was bitter, and his heart was also bitter, finally he understood the reason why Shen Wangshu said before that she would regret it.But then again, she didn't really regret being treated with tenderness by her daughter-in-law, except for the bitterness in her mouth.

After the bitterness passed, Lu Yiqing even held an empty bowl to ask Shen Wangshu for credit: "Look, I'm done drinking."

Shen Wangshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still took the empty bowl and said: "Good boy."
