Qiuyue chose some supplements and medicinal materials, and took only a little maid who carried things, and went straight to the yard of the second bedroom.

There is no such thing as a separation of families in the Shen Mansion. With the increase in population, the mansion has been expanded four times since its establishment.The most recent expansion was when Lord Hou was newly married.He is a rough man, but he is also careful and considerate sometimes.Because the newly married wife likes to be quiet, he ordered people to expand on a vacant lot in the west of the mansion.

The place is surrounded by a large piece of land, and several yards have been built, all of which are still very new.Qiuyue entered through the corner gate in the southeast corner, walking nonstop all the way.

The courtyard of the second bedroom is in the north, the courtyard of the third bedroom is in the east, and there is a small courtyard to the west, where a large family of four bedrooms lives.

Although the courtyard of the second room is the largest and brightest, the number of people living in it is the least.The old man of the second bedroom died young, leaving only a son and a daughter.

The son is called Shen Mian, and the daughter is called Shen Li.

Shen Li married Chen Xifen's younger brother, and now she lives with her husband in Tongcheng Mansion, doing restaurant business.

When Taizu ascended the Great Treasure for the first time, apart from Zhili, he divided his Zhao family into Kai, Sheng, Ping, Yong, Feng, Lin, Mei, Deng, Hui, Shen, Yin, Xi, Liang, Yan, and You. , Sixteen States of Myanmar.Among them, the two states of Yan and You are in the north, the two states of Xi and Liang are in the west, the three states of Mei, Myanmar, and Shen are in the south, and the remaining nine states are distributed in the hinterland of the Central Plains and the eastern coastal areas.

Under a state, there are several prefectures, and under the prefectures are counties and villages.

There are three mansions under Xizhou, among which Tongcheng Mansion is the largest and the richest.The business of Shen Li and his wife is getting bigger and bigger, and they heard that they will move back to live with the clan members in a few days.This aunt is not easy to get along with, if she comes back, she might be like before, meddling in the Shen residence's housework in all aspects.

Coincidentally, she is also capable. When she is at home, she often coaxes the old lady, which can be described as very considerate.

Compared with her, some of her peers are not as clever.

The second room is very powerful, when the sick son was still alive, he could barely suppress it.Now the son has changed to an illegitimate son whom he recognized halfway. Although the people in the second room are still respectful, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is no longer what it used to be.

The people in the third and fourth rooms are now relying on the old Hou Ye for food, so naturally they should be more courteous.During Qiuyue's journey, almost all the people who greeted her were people from these two rooms.

When passing through the small courtyard of the four rooms, Qiuyue deliberately slowed down and took a look into the courtyard.

Just like before, the two little girls from the fourth room were playing with flower ropes at the door.And the man sitting next to a bush of spirea, was leaning on the recliner at this time, protected by the black eaves.

Qiuyue couldn't help but blushed slightly, and wanted to walk away quickly, but she couldn't move away like a nail was born under her feet.

The man seemed to sense something, and suddenly cast a glance over.

Qiuyue was caught by someone, and she was embarrassed for a while, wishing she could get into the cracks in the ground.

"It's Miss Qiuyue!" The man smiled and asked her gently, "But what do you want the old lady to tell you?"

"Greetings to Young Master Lianqi! Back to Young Master, the old lady didn't give any instructions, and only asked the servant to bring a few words."

Shen Lianqi had trouble with his legs and feet, so he asked his niece who was playing beside him to invite him in.

As soon as Qiuyue entered the yard, she smelled a rush of medicine.

This smell came from Shen Lianqi. Since he injured his leg on the battlefield six years ago, he has not stopped taking various medicines.

The old lady of the fourth room is most superstitious about ghosts and gods. In order for Shen Lianqi's legs to recover completely, she chanted scriptures in front of the altar day and night. If there was no major event, she would never leave the small courtyard.

I don't know if it really works. As time goes by, Shen Lianqi can occasionally take two steps.

Qiuyue was very happy for him.

Shen Lianqi's injury was for Dazhao, the old Hou Ye valued his nephew very much, and he never forgot to send a bunch of tonics and ointments every year.

The old lady also comforted him a lot, but more in words or in life.

Because of this, Qiuyue became acquainted with him.

Entering the courtyard, I asked a few old questions as usual.

How are you?

What medicine did you take recently?

What's the shortage?

If there is any shortage, after Qiuyue reports back to the old lady, it will be sent to him naturally.

She was always so attentive, it was really hard for Shen Lianqi to bear.

But after all, it was Qiuyue's whole heart. Although Shen Lianqi was a little embarrassed, he returned one by one.Listening to Qiuyue's tone, it seems that he is a porcelain doll that cannot withstand bumps and needs to be taken care of carefully.

As a big man from the army, he was somewhat impatient.

Just lame, not useless.With more practice, he believes he'll be able to take to the field again one day.

Although, six years have passed.

After greeting Shen Lianqi, Qiuyue, who was about to resign, suddenly heard the fourth-bedroom old lady coughing in the room.Immediately afterwards, a question came out.

"Is it Qiuyue?"

Qiuyue hurriedly responded, standing on her heels and waiting for a reply.

After a while, Shen Lianzhu, Shen Lianqi's sister, came out.Although her face was withered and numb, she still gestured to Qiuyue, asking her to come in and talk.

To say that Sifang was indeed suffering from three disasters and eight disasters. The master of Sifang died in battle and entrusted his only son to the old Hou Ye before his death. As a result, he didn't take good care of him later and became a cripple who looked like a useless person.She had two daughters, one was a widow when she got married, and the other was abandoned by her husband's family because she couldn't have a son. It can be said that she was in a difficult situation.

Shen Lianzhu, who was abandoned, could only return to her natal family with her three daughters, and lived on the little monthly money that the fourth room received every month.

There are three girls, the oldest is only five years old, and the youngest is still in her infancy.Even though he was in the Marquis Mansion, such a bleak situation was probably worse than that of ordinary people.

As soon as Qiuyue entered, she heard the coughing of the fourth-bedroom old lady again.I don't know if it's because I've been stuck in the house for a long time, or if I've caught the wind and cold.Not seeing her for a few days, she seemed even more haggard.

The old lady of Sifang invited her in, not for anything else, but to ask Qiuyue about the incident of encountering a snake when she was offering sacrifices to the water god a few days ago.

She is still brooding about it until now, and believes that the snake has opened its spiritual wisdom.

Some native methods believe that snake ointment can cure leg diseases.The old lady of Sifang was already old, and seeing that the loess was buried up to her neck, she was still worried about Shen Lianqi's injured leg day and night.

The old lady knew what she was thinking and told her not to go to the doctor in a hurry.But only she knows that her days are numbered.If Shen Lianqi's injured leg is not healed, she will not rest in peace even if she dies.

Qiuyue was a little embarrassed, after all, she wasn't there when the servants handled the snake.I only heard that he was beaten to death, but I don't know if he was buried or thrown somewhere.

The fourth-bedroom old lady wanted the snake corpse now, so she naturally didn't have an answer.

I had no choice but to look at Shen Lianzhu helplessly and ask her to persuade her.

Shen Lianqi outside the door couldn't help but feel a little displeased when he heard their conversation.It's just that it's his own mother after all, he thought for a while, and suddenly brought the topic to Shen Wenxin.

"Maybe, it's the eldest girl in the house who is auspicious, so that thing dare not hurt her."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.The old lady of Sifang was silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to Qiuyue, and asked her, "Do you know who this big girl is from?"
