Since talking with Rong Min last time, Shen Qingyue's visits to Rong's house have become more frequent. Seeing her happy every day, Shen Mingshu feels a little relieved in her heart, at least Rong Min seems to be serious.

Shen Ming Shufang walked through the corridor and was about to go to the main courtyard, when he saw Shen Qingyue wearing a light purple dress, leading Gui Yu and other maids, walking towards this side, as if she was about to go out.

Seeing Shen Mingshu, Shen Qingyue stopped and bowed to her, "Elder Sister."

Shen Mingshu looked at the faint smile on her lips, and knew that she was probably looking for Rongmin, her younger sister looked shrewd and difficult to get along with, but in fact she was a knife-mouthed bean curd, she asked with a half-smile : "Where are you going at this time?"

Shen Qingyue blinked her eyes, and said pretending to be indifferent: "Go to Rong's house to see Rong Qing, I heard that he has caught a cold, if it's too late, maybe stay there for a night."

"Really?" Seeing her like this, Shen Mingshu felt amused in his heart, and didn't keep her any longer, "In that case, remember to bring some good medicinal materials."

Shen Qingyue nodded in response, before leaving, she raised her eyes and asked, "Sister, the Lantern Festival started yesterday, when are you going to go with Luo Xin?"

Shen Mingshu was taken aback for a moment, then he realized it after a change of mind, chuckled lightly, and said, "It seems that you are indeed old, so relax and play if you want."

Shen Qingyue blushed slightly, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, I'm leaving."

Seeing her brisk steps, Shen Mingshu gave Gui Yu a few words, then let her catch up, shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked towards the main courtyard.

Father Shen was looking at this cookbook, with a serious face as if thinking about something rather incomprehensible, she bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Father."

Father Shen raised his head and saw her, his expression softened, and he said with a smile: "Sit down, I have something to say here at this time?"

Shen Mingshu nodded, took a seat on the chair beside him, and said softly: "Father, my second cousin will go to Yangzhou after the festival, and my grandmother told me to take care of him."

Father Shen frowned slightly. He had stayed in Beijing for a long time and had been to the Zhang Mansion a few times. He had also heard a little about the temperament of the second master and the second young master of the Zhang family. He really didn't like this kind of person, "he What is Yangzhou for?"

Shen Mingshu lowered his eyes and said, "It should be for our family."

Father Shen's face became even more ugly when he heard her say this, Shen Mingshu had mentioned the capital account book to her earlier, but he didn't expect that the Zhang family would still have this idea, he couldn't help clenching the hand holding the recipe, and said in a deep voice: "It's unreasonable. "

Seeing him like this, Shen Mingshu quickly persuaded him: "Father, don't worry, I already have an idea in my mind. The second cousin's coming here is not only because of my grandmother's intention, but probably more because of the little idea of ​​the second room."

"What are your plans?" Shen's father was worried. He was weak and could not help much, and he hated Zhang's methods even more.

Shen Mingshu whispered a few words in his ear, looked at Father Shen's pensive expression, and said, "I'm just worried that Father is worried, so I want to tell you first."

Father Shen sighed softly, and said, "Ming Shu, I never say too much about your ideas, but this time I still want to persuade you that Qing Jia is your younger brother."

"I know." Shen Mingshu's heart warmed slightly, and the corners of his lips raised into a faint smile, "It is precisely because he is my younger brother that I want to take this opportunity to do this."

She said a few more words to Father Shen, and then backed out. Father Shen looked at her leaving back, was in a daze, and after a long time sighed, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised. These children are all grown up. , each have their own thoughts, this time may indeed be a rare opportunity.

He unfolded the wrinkled cookbook and read it again. His old bones, just sit here and guard the family.

Shen Mingshu left the main courtyard and walked towards his own courtyard. It was just after noon at this time, and the sun was shining warmly in the courtyard, casting mottled shadows of trees all over the place.

Seeing that there was no one in the court, Shen Mingshu felt a little puzzled, and walked towards the room. Lan Yin was guarding the door, and no sound could be heard inside.

Seeing Shen Mingshu approaching, Lan Yin hurriedly bowed to salute, and said softly: "Miss, madam hasn't woken up yet for her afternoon nap."

Shen Mingshu nodded lightly, "I see."

She gently opened the door, but there was no sound inside. When she woke up this morning, she found that Luo Xin was a little sleepy. She didn't expect her to take a nap for so long.

Shen Mingshu walked lightly towards the inner room, the window was closed, the afternoon sunlight came in through the window, and fell beside the dressing table, the curtain was half hung, revealing Luo Xin's deep sleep.

Shen Mingshu walked over and sat down by the bed. Luo Xin used to sleep soundly, but now she seemed to be having a hard time. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her brows were furrowed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, which wet her forehead. Broken hair, somewhat pathetic.

Shen Mingshu touched Luo Xin's forehead with the back of her hand, she didn't feel hot, she felt slightly relieved, and softly called, "Xin'er, wake up."

Luo Xin frowned even tighter, her eyes moved slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes, looking at Shen Mingshu in front of her, her eyes were confused for a moment, and after a while, she softly called out, "Sister."

"Well, I'm here." Shen Mingshu helped her to sit up, touched her back slightly, could feel a little dampness, she wrapped her up in a quilt to avoid catching cold, and asked softly: "But you don't feel well? Why did you sleep for so long and still sweat profusely?"

Luo Xin shook her head in a daze, frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "I had a long dream."

Although Luo Xin said so, Shen Mingshu was still a little worried, so Lan asked the doctor to come, and after seeing it with Luo Xin, Shen Mingshu went out to talk with the doctor.

"Doctor, what can you see?"

The doctor stroked his beard and asked tactfully: "Light sleep, many dreams and night sweats, Madam, is it menstruation?"

Shen Mingshu nodded, with a dignified expression, "Is it related to this?"

The doctor's expression relaxed, "Don't worry, girl, the problem is not serious. Night sweats are mostly caused by deficiency of both qi and yin. It will be better to take some prescriptions for nourishing blood and nourishing qi. Pay attention to the ventilation of the room on weekdays and go out for a walk more. It's not a serious problem." .”

Only then did Shen Mingshu feel relieved, and ordered his servants to take the doctor back to prescribe medicine, and then walked back to the house. Luo Xin sat obediently on the bed, waiting for her to come in.

Shen Mingshu walked over, touched her forehead, turned her head and told Lan Yin: "Go and prepare water."

Lan understood, and went down to prepare water. Shen Mingshu wiped the fine sweat from Luo Xin's forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "Lie down, take a bath and change clothes later, don't catch a cold."

Luo Xin lay down, her eyes a little apprehensive, "Sister, am I sick?"

Shen Mingshu nodded, and deliberately said in a calm tone with a cold face: "Yes, the doctor said that you need to drink some medicine."

When Luo Xin heard this, a disappointed expression appeared on her face. She bit her lower lip, glanced at Shen Mingshu from time to time, and whispered, "Sister..."

"What?" Shen Mingshu looked into her pitiful eyes, and almost couldn't help slowing down his expression.

Luo Xin stretched out her hand from the quilt, grabbed her sleeve, shook it lightly, and said seriously, "I don't feel uncomfortable."

Shen Mingshu put her hands back under the quilt, and said, "She looked like she was sleeping today, and she said she wasn't feeling well. Listen to the doctor."

Luo Xin's cheeks were already lightly pink, but when she heard this, there was light water vapor in her eyes, she looked at Shen Mingshu, and whispered, "Then can't we go to the Lantern Festival?"

Seeing her like this, Shen Mingshu was taken aback. She naturally knew how much Luo Xin was looking forward to this Lantern Festival. If she was not allowed to go now... Shen Mingshu met Luo Xin's eyes, maintained a calm expression, and slowly shook his head, Insisted: "No, you are not in good health."

Hearing what she said, the moisture in Luo Xin's eyes gradually rose, she lowered her eyelashes, and bit her lips tightly, looking quite pitiful. Just as Shen Mingshu was about to say something to coax her, she saw the little girl turned her back to her. She, just ignore her.

Shen Mingshu was stunned for a moment. From the time she knew Luo Xin to now, she had never seen Luo Xin lose her temper. For a while, she didn't know whether to laugh or not. After a while, she still couldn't hold it back. The corners of her lips turned up slightly, and her eyes were gentle. Looking at Luo Xin with his back to her, losing his temper at her is also an improvement.

When Lan came in, she saw the eldest lady sitting at the table looking at the person lying on the bed with a half-smile, and the madam was even more surprised, she turned her back to the eldest lady, as if she had quarreled.

Thinking of the personalities of the two of them on weekdays, Lan Yin quickly put this unrealistic idea behind her. The madam has such a pure and kind personality, and the eldest lady is also kind, and the relationship is good on weekdays, so how could they quarrel.

She waited on Luo Xin to take a bath and change clothes. She changed into clean clothes, braided her hair in a simple bun, and inserted a begonia jade hairpin obliquely. Shen Mingshu, Lan Yin took a closer look, could it be that there was really a quarrel?

Father Shen soon found out about Shen Mingshu's request for a doctor, and sent someone to ask about it. Hearing that there was no major problem, he felt relieved and let them rest in his own courtyard at night, so they don't need to come here specially. Went to the main courtyard.

In the evening, Lan Yin was even more sure that there must be something wrong between Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin.

Luo Xin and Shen Mingshu sat on each side, eating quietly, Luo Xin didn't even raise her head, she stared at the rice in the bowl, and only picked the dishes in front of her, while Shen Mingshu sat on her On the opposite side, there was no emotion on his face, and he would glance at Luo Xin lightly from time to time.

Lan Yin and Qiu Nong, who were standing by the side, looked at each other with doubts, what's the matter?
