Chapter 43 Discussion
Xia Shuqing leaned on the small couch in front of the window, staring at the lush and tall sycamore trees outside the window in a daze.
Wutong, also known as Qingtong, has green leaves and green stems, elegant and clean. It is smooth and emerald green, and the straight upward trunk holds a huge emerald-like green umbrella. The green shadow is whirling, high-spirited and dignified.
This phoenix tree was specially transplanted by Shuqing to her yard by the Zhou family. Just like the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, people in the Zhou Dynasty also had the saying "Fengqi Wutong". People regard the phoenix tree as a symbol of good luck. Shuqing
Every time I look at this parasol tree, I am reminded of a poem by Li Bai, a poet from the Tang Dynasty in his previous life: "It is better to know the meaning of the Luan and the Phoenix, and hold a chair in front of the paulownia tree from afar."
Mother Lu walked in, followed by the little maid A'dai, who was carrying a bowl of lotus seed soup. Shu Qing looked back and asked curiously: "Mom, what kind of person do you think my second aunt is?"
Mother Lu waved her hand to signal A'dai to go out, and then replied: "I heard that Mrs. Zhen was originally a timid and cowardly person, otherwise she would not have been sold to the Murong Mansion by the Zhen family to celebrate the death of Uncle Murong, and she would not have been sold to him.
Mrs. Murong and Uncle Murong, the common wife, bullied her.
Not long after the ordinary wife gave birth to a son, Mrs. Zhen fell into the pond for some reason. Everyone thought she was dead, but she miraculously woke up. After waking up, her temperament changed.
After He Li came out, he also made good friends with Mrs. Weiyuan Hou and cooperated to open the prosperous "Shizhen Zhai".
I heard that all the medicated recipes in "Shizhenzhai" were given by Mrs. Zhen. She also specially presented ten medicated recipes for the Empress Dowager who suffered from diabetes. The imperial doctor's order and several imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were very happy.
He praised her and said that these ten medicinal diets were very good for the Queen Mother.
At that time, the matter between the Zhen family and Murong Shangshu's mansion became almost the most hotly discussed matter in the capital.
Later, Mrs. Zhen returned to Yulin Town with your second uncle Xia Linxuan to get married, and she kept a very low profile after that. It is said that she injured her body when she gave birth to the twins, and her health has not been good. This is probably why she changed her mind after your second uncle's accident.
That’s why it disappears so quickly once you get sick.”
Shu Qing asked curiously: "Medicinal diet prescription? Second aunt knows medicine?"
Mother Lu shook her head: "Who knows? People in the Zhen Mansion, that is, her parents and brothers, all found it strange. According to her, an old woman gave her the book, but she accidentally lost it, so
She has memorized all the medicinal recipes in it."
"Old lady? Second Aunt is so lucky!" Shuqing pouted. Medicinal meals are not recipes. They can be used as long as they are memorized. They have to be right for the disease. What's more, do you still have the courage and confidence to give prescriptions to the Queen Mother?
After a second thought, Shu Qing's eyes lit up. When she used the knowledge from her past life, she was referring to what she read in books, or what the maid and mother-in-law inadvertently mentioned in the past (before Mother Lu came to Xia Mansion). Will Mrs. Zhen know?
Could it be that he is also a soul that floated from another world like her? Otherwise, if a person comes back from hell and has a changed temperament, how can he suddenly know so many things that he didn't know before?
Naturally, Mother Lu didn’t know that Shu Qing’s mind had already turned over and over again, and she sighed: “Who says it’s not the case? But isn’t her children’s luck better? Because of her parents’ relationship, she got involved with Jin Tongue and Mrs. Weiyuan Hou.
It’s already rare, but now we have the Queen Mother’s personal care. As long as the two brothers are willing to strive for their best, the three of them will be good in the future, not to mention that Miss Yao has a palace nurse beside her.”
Hearing this, Shu Qing thought of the graceful Shu Jie, and what people on the street heard today about Shu Jie's civil and military skills, as well as his care for Shu Yao, and the Shu Yao who looked very similar to Shu Yao.
Wen, just by looking at those swaying eyes, you can tell that he is a ghost, and he will definitely not be a fuel-efficient lamp in the future.
Then think about my nerdy eldest brother and my second brother who is keen on eating, drinking and having fun. Alas, it is so annoying to compare people to each other! In such a family, what if she is a legitimate daughter? She is not as good as the life and background of my concubine in the previous life.
Mother Lu also thought thoughtfully: "Sister, as long as the second brother-in-law is included in the family tree, you will still be brothers and sisters of the same clan, not to mention that if you break the bones and connect the tendons, there is no way to break the relationship between them and the first and third brothers of the same blood.
On the contrary, the higher their status in the future, the better their lives, the more they have to worry about reputation, and the less likely they are to be too alienated from our two brothers in the Xia Mansion. Sister, if you have the chance, you should still go with Miss Yao
It will be good for you, sister, and for Mr. Guo's future to get closer."
Shu Qing nodded: "I know, it's just..." Shu Qing always felt that Shu Yao seemed to be very disgusted with her, and... deeply wary. However, the two of them had only met twice in total, and he had not offended her.
I guess it’s because of my parents?
Mother Lu also thought of this: "Now that the second brother-in-law has publicly left the Xia Mansion, and with the support of the clan leader and clan elders, it will be difficult for the master and his wife to cause trouble for the second brother-in-law in the future. Moreover, the master and his wife have never succeeded...
Uh... I have received no benefit from them, and it has not caused any actual harm to them. Children are forgetful, and after a while, she will forget it."
Shuyao agrees with Mother Lu's point of view. How can a six-year-old child know how to hold grudges? It will be forgotten as time goes by. As long as she is more patient and gets more things that the little girl likes, of course,
It’s a novelty that Dazhou doesn’t have, but are you worried that it won’t be able to handle a six-year-old girl?
Shuyao, who was sitting in her eldest brother's arms and listening to him talking to Mama Liu and Aunt Mei, suddenly felt her ears itching. Wasn't Sister Nian'er talking about her again?
"Young Master, I once told my wife that when you first left the Xia Mansion, the Fifth Old Master and some elders in the clan who sympathized with him still took good care of you. My wife just didn't want the old master to be wronged and went to beg the old master. She didn't really
I don't want you three brothers and sisters to be included in the family tree. If the eldest master, master and wife are still here, I think they must be willing to stay in the Xia family, they just don't want to go back to the Xia Mansion." Hongmei recalled Zhen Zirou.
As I said back then, in such a world, people without a family can only fight alone without relying on others. Even if they are successful, their momentum will always be reduced.
Liu's mother also nodded and said: "Brother Jie, Hongmei is right. I also think that your parents would choose to join the Xia family tree even for the three of you. It's not out of helplessness. Giving up the family voluntarily is a sign of forgetting one's ancestors."
, something that is despised by others. Moreover, now that you are in the family tree, your uncle and third uncle are just clan members. There are many uncles and uncles in the clan, so you just need to treat them as ordinary elders.
As long as the etiquette is passable.”
Shujie looked at Shuyao and Shuwen who were sitting on his legs respectively: "Yao'er, Wen'er, what about you? Are you willing?" Shujie himself is seven or eight years old, which is no better than Sister Shuyao now.
When his younger brother was a year or two older, Zhen Zirou and Xia Linxuan would often discuss family matters with him. He treats his younger brothers and sisters in the same way now. They have become sensible and have the right to choose whether to return to the Xia family. Especially Shuyao.
, Shujie often feels that his younger sister considers things more thoughtfully than him.
