Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Shen Huai's injury was indeed not serious, but when Shen Xianzhu came to the yamen, he was no longer in the Ministry of Works.

After asking, I learned that they went to the burned palace gate and took charge of the repairs.

The people in the yamen asked Shen Xianzhu to leave his clothes and medicine and go home, but he refused. He waited until dark before he picked up his father who had changed his clothes and was exhausted.

When they arrived home, Shen Huai was already fast asleep. The family carried him into the room without waking him up.

It was only later when Shen Xianzhu and the others helped him take a bath that he woke up for a moment. Seeing his wife crying while looking at the wound, he smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, I washed it before seeing the emperor, and the imperial physician also applied medicine."

"Sleep well, our son and I are here." Mrs. Hu couldn't bear to let him worry at this moment, but she found that her husband fell asleep again just after he finished speaking. She didn't know whether he had just woken up or was half asleep.

……

In the kitchen, Shen Miaozhu, her mother, and her daughter were cooking. She said, "Mom, you take care of the family these few days. Xiao Zhuzi and I will go to the food store to make soup."

Huang Ruyue: "There's no rush, let Jian Zhang and the others rest for a few days.

I see the kids are terrified too, so they'll stay home for a few days. Little Luan and two new people have already been sent over there to look after them."

After saying that, she looked at the children in the yard who were looking at Erlang and Sijieer. They were obviously still a little frightened.

After the young men of the Shen family cooked the mutton soup with the ingredients prepared last night, they still hadn't seen their eighth uncle and eighth aunt, and they were worried that something had happened.

As a result, not long after, a large number of government troops gathered and entered the city. Many people were scared and hid themselves. They also followed suit and closed their shops. They dared not sell a pot of soup and could not enter the city in the morning.

I finally managed to enter the city in the afternoon, but then I heard about things like treason and my shop was searched several times.

She thought for a moment and said, "I think it's not a good idea to let them go back to the county right away, so why not move them to the inn instead?

Then let your uncle and aunt be in charge of setting up the food shop, how about that?

We can't just rely on our own people and not have outsiders, and I can't stay with your father in the shop all day, he can't stand it either."

Shen Lingzhu and her sister looked at each other. They originally wanted to discuss with their uncle to transfer the Shen family members in Beijing back, but after what happened last night, they were afraid that it would be difficult to do so.

"Mom, aren't you worried that some people in the clan will talk about how much money we earn?" Shen Lingzhu approached her and asked.

Huang Ruyue shook her head: "Let them say what they want, the real accounts are not in their hands, so they can be envious if they want.

Besides, not everyone said it. Anyone who is smart wouldn't say anything about us. Look at those kids working in the store, who has ever told anyone about it?"

"Mom is right, but let's ask Uncle Jiu and a few brothers in the next few days to see what they think." Shen Miaozhu did not force it.

Shen Lingzhu had no choice but to come up with the second plan: "Then let the new person come back and learn from Dad. If there is a chance, he can open another store. After all, Beijing is the capital."

"Well, that's a good idea. After all, your grandfather makes sure to use enough ingredients when making mutton soup, and it's not some secret that he won't pass on." Huang Ruyue didn't mention the braised meat, because that was her mother's family's secret skill, and she wouldn't sell it unless her father was here.

"Okay, go ask your aunt when dinner is served."

"Okay." Shen Lingzhu had just taken a step when the gate was knocked again.

When Chen Xiaoqi, who was guarding the gate, saw his captain coming, he hurriedly invited him in.

However, Chen Ru asked him to inform them first before coming in to greet the elders. In fact, he came to see if Shen Miaozhu was okay.

Seeing that everyone was fine, he didn't stay for dinner, but just said he had important things to do and left.

This made Huang Ruyue, the mother, very satisfied, and she said to Shen Lingzhu, "He knows when to advance and when to retreat. The only thing is that he is much older.

When we get to you in the future, we'll have to find one of similar size."

Shen Lingzhu took the opportunity to say, "I'm still young, there's no rush. It won't be too late to talk about marriage after my parents give birth to a younger brother."

"You're such a smart kid." Huang Ruyue said, stroking her hair carefully.

He asked, "If you didn't have a brother, would you stay with your parents?"

Shen Lingzhu replied without thinking: "Of course."

"Good child." Huang Ruyue hugged her and patted her lovingly. If she had no son and asked her daughter to find a son-in-law, it would be difficult for her to find an outstanding son.

"Mom, it's time for dinner." Shen Miaozhu knocked on the door.

This meal brought together all the Shen family members in Beijing, and it was a warm ending to a thrilling day.

The next day, my uncle came back from the yamen with a lot of good news. One of them was that the big Diao Eunuch in the palace and his entire family were sentenced to death.

And the eunuch Wang, the imperial stable supervisor who had made great contributions in protecting the emperor, is now in power.

The other was to reward according to merit. Shen Huai was promoted to the fourth-rank deputy envoy of the Ministry of Public Administration and was also granted a place as a student of the Imperial Academy.

In addition, Chen Ru was also promoted to the commander-in-chief of Baozhou Guard and returned to his post this morning.

However, Shen Huai did not let his son enter the Imperial College. Instead, he said to Shen Chi, "Second brother, you said last time that you wanted to pick up your studies again and take the imperial examination. This is a good opportunity for you to enter the Imperial College."

"Brother, I was just talking. Later I thought about it. Even if I passed the exam to become a scholar, I would still be a small thing in front of the Prime Minister." Shen Chi was asked to file a complaint when he met the Prime Minister, but he had no achievements and was afraid of being beaten to death.

But as time went by, he could no longer bear to study: "It would be better to let Xianzhu enter the Imperial College, it would be faster..."

"Second uncle, I want to pass the imperial examination step by step. I don't want to be looked down upon by those who take the formal imperial examination after I become an official in the future." Shen Xianzhu refused on the spot.

Shen Huai nodded: "This is what you deserve. Without you guys accompanying me to fight my way out, I wouldn't have been able to jump to the fourth rank so quickly."

Mrs. Hu also said, "Second brother, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Xiaozhu and Xiaozhu. Miaozhu will get married in two years. You have the title of a student, and she will be proud of it.

Besides, Xiao Zhuzi is ten years old now, and it’s time for him to choose a husband.”

"Xiao Zhuzi, stay at home and find a husband." Shen Chi's words made the atmosphere at the dinner table become cold.

Only Shen Lingzhu was unmoved as she continued to pick up some food. She smiled and said, "I'm staying home with my parents."

"Stop fooling around, second brother, come with me to the study." Shen Huai obviously disagreed. After the two brothers left the table, Hu hurriedly comforted his sister-in-law.

But she never expected that before going to bed, Shen Huai would say: "If my second brother really has no son, I will adopt Erlang to him."

"I don't want to." How could Mrs. Hu bear to let her child call other people father and mother?

The couple was secretly quarreling, and within a few days, Shen Lingzhu and her sister knew about it. "Senior Sister, will you try to persuade them?"

Shen Miaozhu asked: "Who are you trying to persuade?"

"Of course it's my uncle." Shen Lingzhu thought for a moment and then said, "There's still a chance for my parents to have a baby, right?"

Shen Miaozhu explained in detail: "Old Doctor Qian said that my mother's health has recovered.

If not, you need to ask Mr. Chi to diagnose it carefully.

If he has no problems but still doesn't have children, then it's just not meant to be."

“But the world will not blame Master Chi, it will only blame mother.

Don't worry, he'll suddenly take a concubine in a few years." To be honest, Shen Lingzhu didn't particularly trust Master Chi.

However, after several years, Shen Chi and his wife still had no children, and he was determined not to adopt his eldest brother's son.

She also said, "My little girl came from Baozhou Prefecture to the capital, and now she has opened eight restaurants and two inns, and she has also found a good man."

His words always made Shen Lingzhu, who had been delaying her blind date, and Shen Miaozhu, who had returned to her parents' home, laugh secretly.

However, marriage is determined by fate, so thirteen-year-old Shen Lingzhu is not in a hurry...
