The day before yesterday when Shen Mingshu drank, Luo Xin felt a little worried, and woke up from time to time, fearing that Shen Mingshu would sleep uncomfortably. When Shen Mingshu got up the next day, Luo Xin half-closed her eyes and felt sleepy.

Shen Mingshu got up and changed her clothes, turned around and saw Luo Xin sitting up and hugging the quilt, her eyes were clearly looking at her, but she closed them again after a while, nodding her head little by little.

Shen Mingshu sat by the bed, trimmed her hair, and said softly, "Go to sleep a little longer, I worked hard last night, I'll go to my father and tell her later."

Luo Xin took her hand and rubbed it against her cheek, then said softly, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while."

Shen Mingshu sat by the bed and waited until Luo Xin fell asleep, and ordered Lan Yin to take care of her carefully before getting up and walking towards the main courtyard.

When Fang arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a few servants looking there with their heads poking their heads. Seeing Shen Mingshu coming, he quickly saluted and went back to work.

Shen Mingshu walked in with a calm expression, and saw Shen Qingjia standing outside the house with his head downcast, the door was tightly closed.

Seeing Shen Mingshu coming in, Shen Qingjia called eldest sister in a low voice, Shen Mingshu nodded, walked over and knocked on the door lightly, and shouted, "Father."

Father Shen's voice came from inside, "Ming Shu, come in."

Shen Mingshu opened the door and went in. Father Shen sat on the head of the bed, his face was a little pale, and he coughed a few times from time to time. He pointed to the chair beside the bed and motioned Shen Mingshu to sit there.

Shen Mingshu bowed his head and saluted, sat on the chair, and said softly, "Xin'er took care of me last night, I let her sleep a little longer, and I will come back later to say hello to you."

"It's okay." Father Shen smiled and said, "She is a good child and knows to take care of you."

Shen Mingshu smiled, looking at Father Shen's pale face, he felt even more worried.

Father Shen didn't take it to heart, and said in relief, "Don't worry, my body is just like this, we all have to be prepared."

Shen Mingshu's face became even more ugly when he heard him say that, but he also knew that it was indeed as Shen's father said, and looking at Shen's indifferent expression, he could guess something about his thoughts.

Since his mother left, his father has always felt guilty, thinking that his mother had suffered hardships with him, and he did not take good care of her.

After recuperating from illness, it took so many years. Now that she got married, Qingyue got married, and Qingjia was getting older, there were fewer and fewer things that need to be worried about by Father Shen, and perhaps the desire to live was also less.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingshu couldn't say anything more, his eyes darkened a little, and he changed the subject, "By the way, why is Qing Jia standing outside?"

The smile on Shen's father's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Don't worry, he is willing to stand, so don't worry about it, isn't the shop still busy, go there earlier."

Hearing what he said, Shen Mingshu ordered the servants at the side to serve him carefully, got up and went out towards the shop.

Years ago, Linlangge was discussing the next big business. The soon-to-be-married young lady of the Futai family liked the jewelry patterns that Linlangge sent over, but felt that the East Pearl alone was not beautiful enough, and high-quality black pearls were needed.

Linlang Pavilion had contacts with jewel merchants from all over the world, so the black pearls were naturally no problem, but it took some time to deliver them. Fortunately, the wedding was in time, and this box of black pearls would arrive in the next year.

Shen Mingshu got the news early in the morning, so he went downstairs to see it himself.

The person who delivered the things was a guy who used to do this kind of errand, seeing Shen Mingshu here, he hurried over to salute.

Shen Mingshu nodded, took the box of black pearls that he personally handed over, opened it and looked at it, all of them were perfect, with a pure black luster, which met the requirements of the lady in the family of the lord of Futai.

"Thank you for your hard work, take a good rest for a while." Shen Mingshu ordered his servants to take good care of this guy. This time it was urgent, and it was really difficult for the jewel merchant over there, so he had to return some thank you.

Shen Mingshu walked back upstairs with the box of black pearls in his hands, and ordered the shopkeeper upstairs to come back after a while.

The errands of the jewelry have always been handled by the shopkeeper Lou, and tomorrow he will personally deliver the black pearls to the craftsmen.

Shen Mingshu flipped through the booklets of various important matters, and not long after, he heard that the shopkeeper Lou had come.

Shopkeeper Lou is nearly fifty years old, and has been in charge of Linlang Pavilion for a long time. Now his hair is mostly gray, he behaves mildly and politely, and his status in Shenji is not low.

When Shen Mingshu heard the knock on the door, he raised his head. Sure enough, it was Lou shopkeeper who had arrived, "Come in, please."

Shopkeeper Lou had a gentle smile on his face, bowed and saluted, and said, "I heard that the black pearls from Nanyang were sent over. Fortunately, the eldest lady is in the shop today, otherwise I won't be able to hand over them in time when I go out." .”

"Exactly," Shen Mingshu smiled faintly, handed the box of black pearls to him, and said, "Please ask Lou shopkeeper to personally deliver this kind of precious thing to the craftsman tomorrow."

"Naturally," shopkeeper Lou took it with both hands, and said with a smile, "I will stay in the shop tonight and take care of it carefully, and there will be no mistakes."

"That's good." Shen Mingshu got up and sent him away, and returned to the desk to continue dealing with affairs.

As for the Shen family, Luo Xin slept on the bed for more than half an hour before waking up. After washing up, she went to the main courtyard to say hello.

When she passed by, Shen Qingjia was still standing outside, saw her coming and didn't say much, just let her in to say hello, don't worry about him.

Luo Xin came into the room to say hello with some confusion. Father Shen was flipping through a booklet. When he saw her coming, he smiled kindly and asked her to sit down quickly.

"Mingshu told me that you took care of her last night, so you don't need to come over to say hello today."

Luo Xin said with some embarrassment, "I didn't do anything last night. My sister took care of me more. I think it's still early, so I came here."

Father Shen waved his hands with a smile, and said, "You have a good heart, as long as you can take care of each other."

Luo Xin asked Shen Qingjia who was standing outside the door, Shen's father shook his head and said, "He did something bad, I will punish him."

Luo Xin frowned slightly, and pleaded, "Before I came in, I heard from a servant that Qing Jia had been standing there for almost an hour, so please forgive him, Daddy."

Father Shen pondered for a moment, "Since you have pleaded so much, let him be spared this time."

He told the servant girl who was waiting on the side, "Let the eldest young master go out, and spare him this time."

The servant girl took the order to go out, Luo Xin felt relieved, and asked Shen's father about his health these days.

Many villains outside looked at Shen Qingjia's bustle, and saw Luo Xin go in and leave after a while, and a maid came out to let the young master go back. It seems that this young lady is really pleasing in front of the master.

After hearing what the maid said, Shen Qingjia moved her stiff knees, and walked out of the main courtyard dejectedly.

Zhang Xiulang, who was far away, came over, raised his hand towards him, and shouted repeatedly, "Jiadi."

When he got closer, he said angrily, "I drank too much wine yesterday and got up late today. I didn't expect my uncle to punish you like this. It's too partial."

It is true that he got up late, but it was half an hour earlier than now, but he didn't rush over immediately. Taking advantage of this opportunity, wouldn't it be just right to instill some biased thoughts when Shen Qingjia was angry and frustrated.

Although Mrs. Shen Mingshu's relief was not what he expected, but it did not hinder his plan.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a dissatisfied expression appeared on Shen Qingjia's face, and he complained, "That's right, I didn't do anything, so I was punished like this."

Zhang Xiulang patted him on the shoulder, sighed, "Uncle is really confused, he will have to rely on you in the future, how can he help his daughter instead of helping his son, stupid!"

Shen Qingjia complained to him a few more times, frowning tightly, and moved her feet from time to time, obviously the leg that was punished just now was also sad and tired.

But Zhang Xiulang felt even happier in his heart when he heard it, on the surface he was united with the enemy, he followed Shen Qingjia's words, and then repeatedly comforted Shen Qingjia.

"Simply, Qingyue's happy event has already been arranged. We may not go out for a long time. It just so happens that Wei Xuan and the others are invited to go to the boat. Why don't we go and relax together."

"Go!" Shen Qingjia readily agreed, and went out with Zhang Xiulang.

The banquet was in full swing, Zhang Xiulang smiled lightly when he saw Shen Qingjia's expression of drowning his sorrows with wine.

He looked away, saw Wei Xuan looking over, raised his hand and made a toast to him from a distance, drank it down in one gulp, with a complacent expression on his face.

When Shen Mingshu returned to Shen's house, it was already late, she walked in and asked the housekeeper casually, but when she learned that Qing Jia hadn't come back, she couldn't help but frowned.

Father Shen sat down with Shen Ming Shu Luoxin and asked about Shen Qingjia's whereabouts. He heard that he went out with Zhang Xiulang and probably won't return at night.

Shen's father nodded, without any change on his face, he raised his chopsticks and beckoned Shen Ming and Shu Luoxin to eat first, "Since you don't have to wait for him, let's eat first, you must be hungry too."

Luo Xin looked at Shen's father and then at her sister, feeling a little uneasy, Qingyue was already married, and there were only three people left at the table.

The atmosphere at the banquet was a bit silent, and after dinner, Luo Xin and Shen Mingshu went back to their yard.

Luo Xin was held by Shen Mingshu and walked back slowly. She turned her head to look at Shen Mingshu's profile, and asked softly, "Sister, do you know what mistake Qingjia made?"

Shen Mingshu shook his head, "Father doesn't want to say, and I don't know."

Seeing her calm expression, Luo Xin was afraid that she would be worried, so she took her hand and said with certainty, "It will be better in a while, after all, we are a family."

She showed a smile with dimples on her cheeks, trying her best to comfort Shen Mingshu.

Shen Mingshu felt warm in his heart, nodded, and replied softly, "Yes, it will be fine."
