Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

In the morning, the rooster crowed, and Jin Shu suddenly woke up from the bed.

At this moment, her face was pale, with a thin layer of sweat all over her forehead, and there was tension between her brows and eyes.

Chenqin had been waiting for her to get up in Jinshu's room, and when she saw her sitting up in panic, she hurried forward to comfort her: "Girl, are you having nightmares again?"

Jinshu looked at Chenqin in front of her and realized where she was. She nodded to her and got up immediately.

For more than ten days in a row, Jin Shu has been troubled by the same nightmare.

In the dream, she was still in the luxury of Vanity Fair, but in the blink of an eye, she was waiting to die in that dilapidated house. The torment of the disease and the pain of radiotherapy were all real in her body.

One or two times may be accidental, but it has been like this for more than ten days in a row, and it is too strange to not sleep.

As a person who came back from the dead, she had to superstitiously believe that this was some hint from God to her.

"Girl, why don't you ask the young master to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine for you?" Seeing Jinshu like this, Chen Qin felt worried, after all, her young master had repeatedly told her that if the girl was unwell, she had to report it in time.

Jinshu comforted her with a smile: "Chenqin, don't be so frightened, maybe it's because it's spring and it's hot at night, so I couldn't sleep well."

Jin Shu still deliberately avoids the chance to meet Kang Ting.

Seeing that she did not allow herself to report the matter to the young master, Chenqin had no choice but to give up, changed her clothes meticulously, and led her to the wife's room for breakfast.

Once inside.Mrs. Kang hurriedly asked Jinshu to sit down, and then personally served her a bowl of porridge with vegetables and lean meat.

Jin Shu looked at Mrs. Kang's happy face, and asked softly, "Grandmother, what good thing happened today, so happy?"

"Is it so obvious?" Mrs. Kang touched her face with her hands.

Seeing Mrs. Kang like this, Jinshu smiled and asked her: "Since it's a happy thing? Could it be that grandma is still planning to hide alone and be happy by herself?"

"You're just a ghost girl! You can tell it at a glance." Mrs. Kang glanced at Jinshu, and said, "I don't know if those two father and son will see anything suspicious?"

Jin Shu was aroused by her mysterious appearance.Ask directly: "Grandma, tell me what is so good about it?"

Mrs. Kang glanced outside the door and found that the people standing outside were all her own people, so she whispered to Jinshu: "Today I arranged for Ting'er to meet a girl, and the girl's features are somewhat similar to her dead wife. Thinking maybe she could get some attention from my silly son."

Jin Shu was a little distracted when she heard it, and she wasn't pestering her to ask about the future.

It's just that since Mrs. Kang has opened up the chatterbox, there is no reason to stop it. She got up and picked up a picture scroll from the wooden cabinet: "This is that girl. You should have seen Mingqing's portrait in Ting'er's study, hurry up." See if they look alike, don't they?"

Jin Shu smiled lightly and unfolded the scroll, looking at the woman in the painting seriously, but in terms of portrait, this person is indeed [-]% similar to Ming Qing's portrait.

Seeing that Jin Shu didn't make a sound for a long time, Mrs. Kang hurriedly asked, "Do you think it looks alike?"

Jin Shu nodded, and while putting away the picture scroll, she said, "It really looks like it! Could it be that the eldest princess' son-in-law incurred some romantic debt? Otherwise, how could it be so similar?"

After being teased by Jinshu, Mrs. Kang covered her mouth and laughed, and then tapped Jinshu's forehead with her finger: "Good girl! You are not married yet, so you seem to know everything. Fortunately, I heard When you arrive, if you are heard by outsiders, you will be blamed, and you will not speak properly."

"Grandmother, who is this girl?"

"This girl's name is She Man. She is eighteen years old. She is not from Bianjing, nor is she an official family member. She Man's family is in Lin'an, and her ancestors have practiced medicine for generations. She is also a rare heroine."

When talking about She Man, Mrs. Kang's eyes were full of affection, as if she believed that something would happen between her and Kang Ting.

Jin Shu saw Mrs. Kang's expression in her eyes, and felt sad and relieved at the same time.

Reining in her emotions, Jinshu asked her: "The one who can win your favor, grandma, must have good looks and good conduct. Then why is this She Man all gone and not married yet?"

At this point, Mrs. Kang showed some pity: "Although this girl is talented and her medical skills are also outstanding in Lin'an, she just has a bad life. When she was born, her real brother died unexpectedly on the same day. Her grandfather asked someone to calculate it. It's a fate, and the fortune teller told others about it, so no one dared to come to propose marriage, so the girl couldn't find anyone at this age."

"Grandmother is kind-hearted, and never cared about these ghosts and ghosts." Jin Shu saw that Mrs. Kang didn't move her chopsticks anymore, turned around and asked Chen Qin to collect the leftovers on the table.

Mrs. Kang saw that the coolness of the previous days was gone outside, and asked Jin Shu: "I think the weather is much better, why don't you go out for a walk with me."

"Of course it's good. It's been a long time since I took a walk in the yard." Jin Shu replied with a smile, and immediately ordered the maid to bring Mrs. Kang's windbreaker, and tied a bow for her herself.

Seeing Jin Shu being so considerate to her, Mrs. Kang smiled and said, "It is said that my daughter is my mother's little padded jacket. I used to think that Ting'er was already filial. But since you came to my house, I feel that he is more filial. You're far behind."

Jin Shu fastened her cloak again, "Father is a rare good man in this world, he is much better than those ignorant dandies outside, with a son like this, grandmother is much better off than many officials' wives , why are you still blaming him here?"

"You just can't hear what I say about Ting'er."

Seeing the happy and healthy look in Mrs. Kang's eyes, Jin Shu smiled and stopped answering, took her hand and walked towards the courtyard together.

The plum blossoms in February have already lost the spiritual head in front of them, the color of the petals has faded a lot, and they will fall on the dust when the wind blows, but even so, its light fragrance will not dissipate.

"Jinshu, why do you think you're a little absent-minded today?"

After walking all the way, Mrs. Kang was mostly there alone, laughing and talking about her family's troubles, and Jin Shu seldom spoke.

Repeated nightmares and She Man's arrival, these two things together really distracted Jin Shu.

Not wanting to make Mrs. Kang worry about herself, she shook her spirits and smiled back at her: "I was thinking, foster father is such a paranoid person. How are you going to let him meet She Man?"

At this point, Mrs. Kang was obviously proud: "I told you, but you must not tell Ting'er."

Jin Shu nodded like a pounding garlic.

"It was only by chance that I found out about She Man. Every year, the master invites doctors from all walks of life to come to the mansion to exchange medical skills, so I recommended this person to the master, and he accepted. Then I used Bianjing In the name of the Kang Mansion, someone sent a letter to She's Mansion, and the girl readily agreed when she heard that there was such an opportunity."

Mrs. Kang paused, and continued: "Master, Ting'er will learn by the side when we communicate, so the two of them must be able to meet each other. But I can't wait, so I invited She Man to come to the mansion for dinner today."

"Grandmother really took great pains for her adoptive father. I hope he can fall in love with Miss She Man this time and relieve the worries in your heart." Jin Shu forced a smile.

When it comes to Kang Ting's sequel, Mrs. Kang always has a sad face.

"It should be successful this time. Not to mention that Miss She Man looks so much like Ming Qing, Ting'er must appreciate Miss She Man's outstanding medical skills."

"Hearing what grandma said, I also feel that the two of them are a match made in heaven." Jin Shu smiled lightly, but her heart was filled with despair.

Mrs. Kang patted Jin Shu holding her hand, changed the subject and said, "Yesterday, I received something from Han Xiao again. This time he brought you some preserved fruit unique to the northern border. I'll wait for you." I'll let someone send it to your room. But don't be greedy, it will be wiped out in one go."

Jin Shu nodded with a smile, expressing understanding.

"A few days ago, I went to Pingyuanhou's Mansion. Mrs. Han has told me clearly this time that she wants Han Xiao to marry you. Han Xiao is a good boy, and you are also a good boy. You two are together. You will be able to settle down." Have a good time."

Mrs. Kang hated Jin Shu to marry so early in her heart, but she also knew that such a day would come sooner or later.

The smile on Jin Shu's face was even uglier, but she did not retort: ​​"Thank you grandmother and Mrs. Han for your concern. My marriage is not urgent. The most urgent thing is to take down the 'stubborn bull' of my adoptive father."

"That's right, that's right, he's a 'stubborn cow'." Mrs. Kang smiled and bent over, and Jin Shu watched the petals all over the garden blowing up with the wind.

The two were still chatting and joking, a maid hurriedly walked up to them to salute and say hello, saying that the Zhao family had sent someone.

Mrs. Kang took Jinshu back to the main hall, and as soon as she entered the room, Jinshu saw Zhong Ming standing in the hall holding a small wooden box.

"Mrs. Kang is well, Miss Jinshu is well."

Mrs. Kang had met Zhong Ming before, and her face was naturally amiable: "Zhong Ming, why did you come here suddenly today?"

Zhong Ming blessed Fushen, and then opened the wooden box in his hand, "Mrs. Kang, today I was entrusted by my eldest lady to bring the consultation money here."

"Consultation fee. What consultation fee?" Mrs. Kang glanced at Zhong Ming and then at Jin Shu.

Jin Shu explained to her: "Last time Ruide's leg was injured, I begged my adoptive father to heal his leg, it should be the money."

"Ting'er has the nerve to ask your family for money?" Mrs. Kang laughed angrily, and then looked at the box of silver: "How much money is there?"

Zhong Ming replied respectfully: "A total of 500 taels."

When Jin Shu heard this, her eyes darkened, where did the Yu family get so much money?

Because she cared about Jinshu, Mrs. Kang also knew the current situation of the Zhao family, and knew that 500 taels was not a small amount for her family.

How could Ting'er be so ignorant all of a sudden?Asked Zhao's mansion for so much consultation money.

I know that Zhao Chi is a face-saving person.Letting Zhong Ming carry it back like this will definitely hurt that person's self-esteem again. Mrs. Kang rolled her eyes and said to Jin Shu: "I will make the money today. Seeing that spring has begun, it's time for you, Jin Shu, to buy some clothes." and jewellery, take this silver and use it yourself."

Jin Shu had something on her mind, she didn't try to evade too much, and said in a daze, "Then thank you, grandma."

Because there are many things to ask Zhong Ming, Jin Shu said goodbye to Mrs. Kang, and called Zhong Ming away by carrying the money into the house.

The two went back to the house.Jin Shu hurriedly asked, "Where did the lady get so much money?"

Zhong Ming frowned and recalled: "Yesterday, a few servants brought several boxes of money to the mansion, put down the money and left, only faintly saying that it was a dowry gift."

"Look at those silver taels, how many are there?"

"At least 3000 taels."

When Zhong Ming said this amount, Jin Shu couldn't believe it at all. If it was the betrothal gift from Prime Minister Wang's family to Xiu Shu, it must be too big.

Jin Shu followed up and asked Zhong Ming again: "Did the eldest lady carry all the money to her own room?"

Zhong Ming shook his head: "Not at all. She first drew 500 taels for me to send to Kang's family today, then kept 1000 taels in her own house, and handed over all the other money to Aunt Jin, who went into the house. account."

What is this operation?What Yu Shi did one after another was beyond Jin Shu's expectation. She didn't believe that Yu Shi was reforming her mistakes, but she was sure that she was brewing a bigger conspiracy.

"Girl, the master asked me to tell you today, let you go back to the house tonight."

Zhao Chi looking for him to go back?When Jinshu heard about this, her bad premonition became even stronger.

Not daring to delay any longer, Jin Shu said to Zhong Ming, "I'll accompany you back now."

After finishing speaking, she went to Mrs. Kang's room to explain to her about returning to the mansion, and then called the bearers back to Zhao's mansion.

When she arrived at the side courtyard, Jin Shu immediately entered Aunt Jin's door. She was painting on the desk at the moment, and seeing that it was Jin Shu, she greeted her casually and then immersed herself in painting with great interest.

Jin Shu walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't father accompany mother today?"

Today should be the day for Zhao Chi to rest and take a bath. Usually, he would accompany Aunt Jin to talk and drink tea, but now he is nowhere to be seen.

Aunt Jin didn't stop writing either, she said indifferently: "He has been staying in the big lady's room for a whole day."

"Mother, are you not worried?"

Aunt Jin did not answer Jinshu, but handed her pen to her hand: "Come and write a poem for me."

Looking down at her paintings, I saw a young woman holding a lotus lantern and looking back at the bustling part of the market. Her eyes were all eagerly looking forward, and she seemed to be waiting for her lover.

Drawing from the heart, drawing from the heart, Jin Shu looked a little puzzled when she saw this: "Which sentence do you want me to write?"

Aunt Jin didn't notice Jin Shu's expression, she looked at the picture scroll full of tenderness and said: "Just write a sentence 'Suddenly looking back, that person is in a place where the lights are dim'."

Jinshu's hands shook slightly, and she asked, "Mother, why don't you ask the questions yourself?"

"My hairpin lower script is not as good as your running script for this painting." Aunt Jin looked at her with a smile. "Listen to my compliments on you, are you happy?"

Without answering, Jinshu finished writing the words in one go, and only after Aunt Jin stamped her seal did she ask, "What happened to Mother during the Lantern Festival?"

Aunt Jin put away the scroll, turned around and said, "I didn't encounter anything."

Jin Shu obviously didn't believe this answer.But she knew that Aunt Jin would not tell the truth, so she turned around and asked another question.

"Mother, after Uncle Kang and I left that day, did you ask Pingrui to search the room thoroughly?"

Knowing that Jin Shu cared about her, Aunt Jin put the painting away, walked up to her, and stroked her face: "I realize more and more that you have been taking care of me all these years, are we the opposite?"

"Why bother with these things! Anyway, we are both looking out for each other's good." Jin Shu pulled her hands down her face.

"You are the only blessing in my life." She grabbed Jin Shu's little hand and led her to sit on the kang.

No matter how unlucky these words sound, and remembering the ominousness in her heart during this period, Jinshu used you to grab her palm: "What are you talking about! You have a long life, and there will be good days in the future. There is no reason to say these words now."

Aunt Jin withdrew her hand in pain, "You are becoming more and more unruly now, and you are so cruel to me."

Seeing that she was going to teach her a lesson again, Jin Shu hurriedly grinned and flattered her: "Mother, I've got to talk to you about the business, what did you and Pingrui find from the house?"

"Pingrui said that there was no shortage of one tael of money, and nothing was added to the house, and nothing happened after such a long time. Jinshu, you should be worrying too much this time, maybe there was something wrong with Qingyi that day Things are delayed." Aunt Jin felt Jinshu's anxiety and comforted her intimately.

Are you really thinking too much?

Seeing the drizzle falling from the sky, Jin Shu's thoughts also drifted into the distance.

This night, the whole Zhao family gathered in the main hall, the whole room was decorated with bright red brocade flowers, the lights were bright and joyous.

Zhao Chi specially spent money to invite the cook from Dingyuelou to come to the mansion to cook. Several servants brought delicious food to the table, and poured a cup of Nurhong for everyone present.

The Zhao Mansion has not seen such a scene for many years.

The people in the main room and Zhao Chi were all excited, and Jinshu guessed that it should be Xiushu's matter.

Although she didn't know exactly what happened, Aunt Jin still smiled happily with everyone there, without any sense of disobedience.

Jin Shu didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she continued to pick up vegetables for dinner with a flat expression.

Suddenly, Zhao Chi uncharacteristically raised his cup to toast Fanshu: "Fanshu, Dad has wronged you."

Jin Shu gnawed her hoof while listening to their conversation with pointed ears.

Fan Shu never thought that Zhao Chi would do such a thing, and burst into tears in an instant: "Father, I am not wronged, not at all, I just think that tomorrow I will become another bride, and I feel sad about you and mother."

Fan Shu got married?Why is there no sound of wind in front?

There was a huge wave in Jinshu's heart, and she scanned everyone who was doing it.

"Silly boy, it's human nature for a boy to marry a girl. You will leave this mansion one day. It's just that I'm useless as a father, and I haven't been able to make you marry well. The guests have been invited to celebrate your wedding, so I can only sit here as a family and simply eat and drink to send you off."

Zhao Chi's face was sour and unbearable, and he punished himself with a cup.

Perhaps moved by this scene, except for Aunt Jin and Jin Shu, everyone else showed a little compassion.

Fan Shu burst into tears: "Those are empty gifts, as long as there are family members praying and blessings, my daughter is already content."

Zhao Chi drank another cup, and couldn't help crying: "Fanshu, you are a sensible child. Since you don't blame us, don't hate your husband's family. After all, Han Wanru has only been in the palace for a long time. Her father is famous. The Marquis of Pingyuan is also a privy envoy, and he brought you into the palace as a concubine after a few months of marriage, King Kang and the others thought about it because they were afraid of offending Lord Hou, so they said to carry you into the palace on a sedan chair."

Zhao Chizheng was talking vigorously, but he didn't want to hear a "pop" suddenly. He turned his head and saw that it was Jinshu who dropped the bowl to the ground.

In an instant, he lost the kindness just now, and sternly shouted: "You little bastard, are you always so reckless? It's the time when the whole family is happy, and you come here to make trouble like this?"

Jin Shu was bending over to pick up the fragments on the ground, and just picked up one piece, when she heard Zhao Chi's scolding, her body froze, her face was full of hostility.

Seeing Jin Shu's delay, Aunt Jin patted her on the back: "Master, do you need to say that about Jin Shu?"

Not as coquettish and charming as usual, and her tone was even a bit tough and domineering.

Zhao Chi felt that it was extremely disrespectful for Aunt Jin to reply to him in this tone in front of everyone, and said sarcastically, "You are the one who pets her like this."

Not as tactful as usual, Aunt Jin ignored Zhao Chi, turned her head and patted Jinshu on the back: "Jinshu, don't do it yourself, let Pingyue clean it later."

She turned around and told Qing Yi who was standing there waiting: "Go and get another bowl."

Jin Shu got up, looked up at Fan Shu intently, her eyes were cold.

Yu Shi didn't gloat like before, but helped Jin Shu: "Master, don't be angry. Fan Shu will go out tomorrow, and we as a family should be happier today."

Fan Shu naturally saw Jin Shu's gaze, and she responded with a mocking smile.

Zhao Jinshu, you are far behind.

"Daddy, don't be angry. My daughter is going to Kang Wang's Mansion tomorrow, and I only ask you for one thing." Fan Shu raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and raised her wine glass.

Zhao Chi asked her: "Fanshu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Daddy will do his best to help you."

Fan Shu hugged the younger siblings next to her, looked at Yu Shi again, and said with a peaceful face: "Daddy must help me take good care of my mother and my younger siblings."

Her words really moved Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi took the initiative to raise his wine glass, "Don't worry, Fanshu, I will definitely take good care of them. But you, you must be careful in the Kangwang Mansion in the future. I wish you and your son a lifetime of love."

After speaking, the two drank the wine in their hands.

After the father and daughter chatted, everyone at the table toasted Fan Shu, and they all said congratulatory words.

When it was Jinshu's turn, she kept coughing so badly that she looked like she had tuberculosis.

Zhao Chi couldn't see her like this, so he waved her away quickly, and Aunt Jin got up on her own and helped her to leave here together.

When going out, Jinshu seemed to hear someone muttering "forget it if you die", and she looked back to see that the people in this room were laughing and laughing.

After Aunt Jin returned to the house, Jin Shu fumbled to the kitchen, stole a pot of daughter red and brought it back to the house.

Thinking of such a beautiful girl, the newly married will soon experience such pain.

Thinking of Fan Shu, who has sinister intentions, clinging to the imperial power so easily.

Thinking of Yu's various weird actions, I don't know what kind of tricks he will play.

Thinking that Kang Ting was talking and laughing happily with the woman named She Man at this time, whether they will have an ending.

Jin Shu just wanted to let go of herself, so she poured her daughter Hong from the pot into her mouth one by one, until she felt a little drunk, and then she staggered onto the bed.

She looked at the wooden beams with drunken eyes, and it was best to feel drunk, floating like a fairy, without any worries.

At the exact moment of time, a sedan chair with a red cover stopped outside the gate of the Zhao Mansion.

Yu Shi opened the door with the light on the premise, Zhao Chi helped Fanshu into the sedan chair, and the two stood together watching the sedan chair disappear into the mist.
