Chapter 36: Help grandparents or parents?
Shen Lanxi was not idle either. The arrangements were made by the prisoners and had nothing to do with them.
They also need to prepare things for departure tomorrow.
Mother Li’s son and daughter-in-law boil water, and Mother Li brings spring snow and autumn frost to prepare dry food for the next few days.
I heard from the young master that I won’t be able to eat well in the next few days, so I must make something that is easy to store and delicious.
The three of them discussed it and decided to make some pastries, crispy rice balls, dry biscuits and dried meat!
Shen Lanxi helped them and occasionally provided ideas. Dry biscuits are the idea she provided, which is to dry the finished biscuits. If you want a good taste, you can also put some sugar or salt in them, just like eating dry steamed buns.
Both parties were working in full swing. After lunch, there was a tea break. Shen Congwen came over after taking care of his errands.
After giving instructions to the maid, Shen Lanxi went to lie down in the room in advance.
"Master, the young master is resting in the house!"
Shen Congwen was very worried when he thought that his daughter was injured! His daughter was in the house and it was inconvenient for him to go in!
“Is the injury sustained by the young master serious?”
Haruyuki lowered his head: “It’s not serious, I just need to stay in bed for more rest!”
When Shen Congwen heard that he was going to bed and rest, his heart immediately clenched. It must be that his daughter didn't want him to worry, so she specifically asked the maid to say this!
"Master, do you want to go in and inform the young master?" Qiu Shuang asked.
Shen Congwen felt deep guilt in his heart when he thought about his daughter being injured and having to take care of his family!
"Don't disturb your young master's rest. I'll come see her next time!" Shen Congwen said and left.
What Shen Lanxi didn't expect was that this was so fast.
Before dinner, Shen Congwen came again.
If you don’t let him say it, he probably won’t give up!
"Father!"
Shen Lanxi opened the door and went out!
Shen Congwen looked at his daughter. She still had the same makeup as before. She didn't look injured from the outside, and she felt a little relieved.
"I heard Yuan Jing say that you are injured, let me see you!"
Shen Lanxi led her father to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
"Father, is your mother feeling better?"
Shen Congwen thought of his wife and his eyes darkened: "Your mother has a heart disease. As time goes by, she will eventually get better!"
Shen Lanxi: "Father, I just suffered some minor injuries. I will recover in a few days!"
Shen Congwen: "That's it, then take good care of yourself and leave it to the servants if you have anything to do. Do it!”
Chun Xue came over with tea, and Shen Lanxi poured it for her father herself.
"Father cares, and the child remembers it!"
Shen Congwen clenched his hands, and what he said next was really hard to say. But not to mention it at that time, it was difficult to explain to the father and mother. They were also the daughter's grandparents, and they definitely didn't want their closest relatives to be wronged!
"Lan Xi, your grandparents haven't eaten well these past two days, they haven't slept well, and their bodies can't bear it. You talk to the Yamen and ask them to eat with them! ”
Shen Lanxi continued to drink tea and glanced at her father with raised eyebrows.
She had never realized that her father was such a filial person before!
"Father, you are so kind to your grandparents!"
Shen Congwen looked a little uncomfortable: "As a child, you should honor your parents!" Shen Lanxi nodded in agreement: "I will follow Liu Laohu negotiated and asked his father and mother to eat with the officials! "
Shen Congwen was stunned and stared at his daughter with his narrow eyes: "Lan Xi, do you have a grudge against your grandparents? "
Shen Lanxi shook her head: "I am a soft-spoken person, and now our Shen family is cautious. If I take risks, I must do it for my parents first, and then for others. My daughter's abilities are really limited!"
When Shen Congwen heard his daughter say that she should be her parents first, her heart softened. Then she thought of the other meaning behind her daughter's words and immediately frowned.
"I'm fine now, just help your grandparents first!"
Shen Lanxi's eyes turned cold: "My father is in good health, where is my mother?"
Shen Congyi thought of his wife Yi Wai Wai still insists on walking on his own, feeling guilty in his heart!
"Father, I understand your feelings very well. You feel sorry for your parents, and I feel sorry for my parents. If I can only risk asking Liu Laohu once, do you want me to ask Liu Laohu to help my grandparents, or do you want me to ask Liu Laohu to help my grandparents? Help you and your mother?”
He can choose for himself!
"Lan Xi, can't the rest of the Shen family have food?" Shen Congwen didn't understand. Liu Laohu was obviously very kind when talking to his daughter, so he couldn't do it for the Shen family. Please beg for mercy?
Shen Lanxi looked at her troubled father and said: "Liu Laohu gave the Shen family a chance before, and whoever is willing to contribute will be given preferential treatment! Liu Laohu kept his word, and now he has fulfilled his promise, Give preferential treatment to those who have contributed! "
"Father, do you want Liu Laohu to break his promise? If everyone is treated the same, who will be willing to stand up next time he encounters bandits? ”
Shen Congwen was ashamed after being told by his daughter.
"Lan Xi, you have a good rest, I'm going back first!"
Shen Lanxi looked at her father's back: "Father, I will tell Liu Laohu to improve the food for you and your mother!"
>Shen Congwen said in a low voice: "No, you are right, I am narrow-minded, just do whatever Liu Lao Lao arranges!"
Shen Lanxi looked at her father's leaving back with dark eyes, and then After a few good days, have you forgotten the hardships at the beginning of your exile?
Reforming the Shen family is more difficult than she thought!
Then let these little problems disappear bit by bit on the long road to exile!
In the evening, the four brothers and sisters Shen Yuanjing came.
"Brother, we did a lot of work today. Chunxue and Qiu Shuang even taught us how to stand on horseback!"
Shen Lanxi looked at the four people with sweaty faces and said with a smile: "In the past, my family asked my husband to teach you the Four Books and Five Classics, but he didn't teach you martial arts. Your muscles and bones have already been somewhat formed. Fortunately, it's not too late to start from now on. Don't be too quick, or you may injure your muscles and bones!"
Yuan Jingsan The brother nodded.
Shen Yuantang: "Big brother, can I learn with you?" She also wants to become as powerful as her big sister!
"Yes, you can all learn!"
Shen Yuanjing asked the question he was holding back: "Brother, who did you learn martial arts from? We have never seen you before. Practicing martial arts?”
Shen Lanxi said in an evasive manner: “I used to go to the palace, so naturally I practiced in the palace.”
Shen Yuanjing thought, could it be taught by the guards in the palace?
“Chun Xue, bring some of the flower cakes you made today and share them with them!”
Shen Yuanjing waved his hands in embarrassment: “I’ve had dinner, I’m very full!”
< br>Shen Lanxi: "This is a reward for your martial arts practice. Take it back and eat it slowly!"
Shen Yuanjing used to dislike sweets the most, but now sweets have become a luxury, and he is embarrassed to take his eldest sister's. thing!
"Sister, you are so kind. I haven't eaten pastry for a long time!" Shen Yuantang saw Chunxue coming with a basket and couldn't wait to take a piece and start eating. As he ate, he started to shed tears. !
"It would be great if nothing happened at home!"
Shen Lanxi patted her head to reassure her: "It will be fine!"
