When she thought of Wei Ziyuan, Shen Zhuo thought of the thrilling day in the autumn hunting. Then she decided on the gift she wanted to give to Shen Sheng and Han Tao, which was medicine, life-saving medicine.
After Shen Zhuo took the medicine she had taken that day, she wanted to add the Jinchuang medicine from Nanshan Hall. A thousand-year-old brand, it really deserves its reputation. Wei Ziyuan and Jiang Yan were able to fully recover later, largely due to Jinchuang Medicine.
It's just that Nanshan Hall's Jinchuang Medicine is extremely rare, and even if you have the money, it's hard to buy it. A total of dozens of cans are produced in a year, so you basically have to reserve it several years in advance. In the ghost market, a bottle of Jinchuang Medicine can be sold for dozens of times higher than the original price.
Shen Zhuo doesn't have that much money. So, she went to find Zhang Jingyi.
Zhang Jingyi was the second daughter of Zhang Zhouzhi, the Minister of Rites. Zhang's mansion was not far from Shen's mansion, just two streets apart. That day, when the snow stopped, Shen Zhuo went to Zhang's house in a carriage.
Zhang Jingyi was very happy to hear Shen Zhuo's visit. She greeted him out of the second door from a distance and enthusiastically pulled Shen Zhuo into her Jinhua Garden.
"Jiaojiao, why are you here today?" Zhang Jingyi said happily.
"My eldest brother and fourth brother will be back soon." Shen Zhuo said.
"oh."
Zhang Jingyi was a little confused. What does it have to do with her if eldest brother Shen Zhuo and fourth brother go home?
Shen Zhuo paused, and then said: "I originally had two cans of golden medicine, which were originally given to them as gifts. But they were given to General Wei and his friends last time."
"so what?"
Zhang Jingyi was even more confused. Shen Zhuo gave the medicine to Wei Ziyuan. What did it have to do with her?
Shen Zhuo blinked his big eyes and looked at Zhang Jingyi sincerely: "Jingyi, so should you go and get this medicine back for me?"
"Shen Jiaojiao! Wei Ziyuan used your medicine, what does it have to do with me?!" Zhang Jingyi was furious in an instant.
"Uh, Jingyi," Shen Zhuo took Zhang Jingyi's hand, held down the furious Zhang Jingyi, and said seductively, "You and General Wei have known each other since childhood, right?"
Zhang Jingyi nodded.
"You were there when I gave him the medicine, right?" Shen Zhuo continued to ask.
Zhang Jingyi nodded again.
"Look, isn't this the end of the world? You and he are old acquaintances, and you saw him using my medicine, so as a middleman, wouldn't it be appropriate for you to go and get the medicine for me?" Shen Zhuo concluded.
"Besides, doctors still charge consultation fees for treating patients. I only charge medicine fees, isn't that appropriate?"
Zhang Jingyi was completely stunned by Shen Zhuo, and then she passed the post to the Duke of Wei in a daze, made an appointment with Wei Ziyuan, and finally asked him fiercely for the golden medicine.
After Wei Ziyuan patiently asked the whole story, he only felt a toothache. It seemed that the four soldiers were sent away too early. In the end, Wei Ziyuan went to the ghost market, bought two cans of Nanshan Hall's Jinchuang Medicine at a high price, and personally gave them to Zhang Jingyi.
On the day Shen Zhuo got the Jinchuang Medicine, he couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that the original half jar of ointment had turned into two full jars. He happily took Zhang Jingyi to Zhaixinglou for a meal.
Shen Sheng and Han Tao returned to Shen Mansion in the middle of December. Two days ago, Princess Pingyang received a letter confirming the date when the two would arrive home. Early that morning, red lanterns were hung up both inside and outside Shen's residence, making it very lively.
Shen Sheng and Han Tao have been away from home for nearly a year. The whole family is eager to see them. Even Shen Yuan has taken leave and is waiting at home.
"I'm back, I'm back, uncle, the fourth master is back!!"
As soon as Shen Sheng and Han Tao entered the city gate, the boy guarding the city gate of Shen Mansion trotted all the way back to Shen Mansion to report the news.
Chen Sheng and Han Tao entered Tingsong Residence surrounded by their servants. They knelt in the hall and kowtowed three times to Princess Shen Yuan and Princess Pingyang.
"Get up, get up." Princess Pingyang hurriedly said, her face full of joy.
After not seeing each other for a year, Shen Sheng and Han Tao have both grown taller and darker. The wind and sand in Mobei have completely worn away the youthful spirit of the two. Now standing in front of everyone are two young generals with calm faces.
After the two kowtowed to their parents, all the brothers and sisters came forward to pay homage. Shen Sheng and Han Tao also took out the gifts prepared for everyone and distributed them one by one.
When he walked up to Shen Zhuo, Shen Sheng took out two story books and handed them to her: "No, these are "The Legend of the Fox Demon" and "The Chronicles and Monsters of Various Countries". They are both unique copies, specially found for you."
"Thank you, brother." Shen Zhuo smiled sweetly, "However, there is no need to look for a storybook for me next time. I have grown up and don't like to read storybooks anymore."
"I heard that there was a Sixth Fairy from Mingshan who was doing chivalry and justice everywhere. Jiaojiao, are you sure you don't read the script?" Shen Sheng said with a smile.
"Brother..." Shen Zhuo blushed in embarrassment. It seemed that his eldest brother knew everything that happened in Kyoto.
"If Jiaojiao likes to read, just read it. If you don't, just leave it alone. Come on, fourth brother will take you to see the gifts." Han Tao stepped forward to relieve Shen Zhuo, and then led Shen Zhuo outside the house.
Shen Zhuo was curious: "Fourth brother, what kind of gift is it?"
Others are also curious, what gifts cannot be brought into the house? So a bunch of people came out to watch.
Then, everyone saw a white horse tied up outside Tingsong's house. The horse has a tall and slender head, slender limbs, and a light and elegant body. Its coat is as white as snow in winter, without a trace of impurities. Its eyes are dark blue, like precious gems, noble and beautiful.
"Oh my god, this is actually a platinum sweat horse?!" Shen Xi exclaimed and ran in front of the horse, stretching out her hands to stroke the horse's mane, with uncontrollable envy in her eyes.
"Fourth, where did you find it? Are there any others?" Shen Xi asked excitedly.
"I happened to meet someone selling it at the border market. I thought Jiaojiao was short of a horse, so I bought it. It's not easy to come across a horse of this level. If third brother likes it, I can help you bring it to you next time you meet him. One horse."
"No need for next time, why not this one..."
Before Shen Xi could finish speaking, Shen Zhuo stepped forward, pushed Shen Xi away, grabbed the reins of the horse, and said to Shen Xi, "Third brother, this is mine."
Shen Zhuo fell in love with this horse at just one glance. It was so beautiful.
"Thank you, fourth brother." Shen Zhuo had a bright smile on his face.
Shen Zhuo smiled, his eyes shining like thousands of stars. Han Tao was dazzled. He stretched out his hand to rub Shen Zhuo's head and said warmly, "As long as Jiaojiao likes it."
Shen Wei picked up the back of Shen Xi's neck and scolded: "You are so old, but you still snatch something from a delicate girl. Isn't it embarrassing?"
Shen Sheng didn't even look at them and said, "I still have several first-class Mongolian horses there. You can go pick them out tomorrow."
Princess Pingyang also glanced at Shen Xi: "You are already eighteen, and you are about to get married, and you haven't been able to show up all day long."
Shen Xi quit. He was just coveting the BMW, but the horse didn't touch it twice and was attacked instead.
He said dissatisfied: "My eldest brother hasn't even gotten married yet, so why is it my turn?"
The mention of Shen Sheng's marriage struck a chord with Princess Pingyang. Shen Sheng's marriage was full of twists and turns.
Shen Sheng is twenty this year, so it stands to reason that he should have gotten married long ago. As early as Shen Sheng was sixteen years old, Princess Pingyang arranged a marriage for him. However, less than half a year later, the woman fell ill before the marriage. Later, Princess Pingyang carefully selected a family. Unexpectedly, one year after the engagement, the girl fell ill. , the woman slipped again and fell to her death. After cheating on two families in a row, there were bad rumors in Kyoto, saying that Shen Sheng killed too many people and was too harsh on his wife.
Princess Pingyang couldn't help but glared at Shen Yuan fiercely. Shen Yuan looked helpless. From beginning to end, he didn't even say a word. How could he offend Madam? He also had a headache when talking about Shen Sheng's marriage. But he couldn't just kidnap someone's daughter to Shen Sheng. You can't vent your anger on your wife, but you can't vent your anger on a few unfilial sons?
Shen Yuan had a sullen face and said to Shen Sheng, "Follow me to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow."
If the daughter of a civil servant is weak, then she will find a military general as her in-law.
Shen Sheng was speechless and couldn't help but said: "I just came back today..."
Shen Yuan continued with a sullen face: "We will meet one person a day, your mother has already planned it."
When the matter of marriage was mentioned, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but glance at his brothers, his face was speechless. When it comes to getting married, each of her brothers is more bizarre and aggressive than the last. Shen Zhuo still remembered the years when the turmoil was the most violent. Whenever Princess Pingyang saw her sons entering the house, she would have them beaten out with sticks.
I wonder if it will be easier for my brothers to marry their sisters-in-law in this life.
