Shen Lingzhu followed the family in putting down their bowls and standing up. He saw his uncle ignoring the laughter of the man in brocade clothes and his followers, and bowed slightly, saying, "Young Master Shi, would you like to enjoy it with us?"
"Hmph! Shen Huai, do you think you are still a sixth-rank official? You are a dismissed official, but you cannot bow down to me when you see me." Seeing him so calm, Master Shi in brocade clothes immediately turned his sneer into a cold rebuke, and even wanted to point his horsewhip at his uncle's face.
Shen Huai remained motionless and looked directly at the other person: "Huai is a fellow Jinshi from the third class of the Yichou imperial examination in the tenth year of Datong.
It seems that Master Shi was a regular student of the Imperial College five years ago."
There were three inspections in a row, two of which involved knowledge blind spots. Shen Lingzhu touched his senior sister lightly with his hand and asked with his eyes what she meant.
The latter understood and silently replied with two words: Bought.
Shen Lingzhu wanted to ask who this person was, but her senior sister gestured for her to get closer to her aunt.
At this moment, a rough male voice suddenly exploded in front of her, causing her to miss her senior sister's whisper to her aunt.
"How dare you! My son has been favored by the emperor and has been appointed the commander of the Divine Martial Right Guard, a fifth-rank military officer.
You..." A follower came out and barked, but his master, Master Shi, suddenly whipped him away and chuckled twice, saying:
"My wife, who was a Jinshi, has now fallen to the ground and become a commoner, inferior to me.
Even if you have achievements and honors and don't kneel before an official, what about them? They have to kneel before this official!"
The moment he glanced at Shen Lingzhu and the others, Mrs. Hu collapsed, holding her stomach.
"mother!"
"Auntie!"
"It hurts, Master. It seems like I'm about to give birth."
Shen Lingzhu and her elder brother and second sister held the person up with all their strength. The uncle's angry look turned into panic. He wanted to carry the person into the car, but failed several times.
Shen Lingzhu immediately understood what her senior sister meant at a glance. She left her aunt behind and quickly passed through the horses, running towards the official road, shouting, "Help! Help! Is there a doctor?
A Jinshi family member was hit and is about to have a miscarriage!"
A sharp and shrill child's voice echoed in the middle of the official road, and the people on the march couldn't help but look over.
A carriage that was about to approach Shen Lingzhu suddenly stopped, and the driver pulled the reins and pushed the horse away from her, panting.
Shen Lingzhu moved away embarrassedly, still shouting "Help, there are criminals who are violently persecuting pregnant women".
It’s true, this trick really works. Several teams couldn’t see the Shen family who were blocked by the horses and approached her.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The follower at the end of Master Shi's team was about to chase her, but was stopped by his master.
This was because Master Shi recognized that the person riding the chestnut horse running towards the child was Han Yongxi, a fourth-rank deputy envoy of the Censorate who had returned to Beijing to report on his work.
He impeached countless officials, and even executed many officials from the prince's palace.
Master Shi felt that as a nephew of a duke, he should not put himself in danger. The censor was a cannibal, and forcing the families of scholars to kneel was not a good reputation for him.
Fortunately, he was not wearing an official uniform. He glared back at the Shen Huai family and said, "Let's go!"
They came and left in a hurry, which is exactly what he and his group were like, but the sudden and hurried sound of their horses' hooves still attracted the attention of passers-by.
Shen Lingzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him galloping away on his horse. She didn't know how her uncle had offended him.
There were two doctors among the people gathered around her, which was good. She would not miss the opportunity to visit her aunt.
He quickly accepted the suggestion and led everyone forward, but he never expected that the two doctors took his pulse one after another and started arguing about the pulse case on the spot.
A man who looked like a wealthy businessman asked in surprise, "Master Shen, is it really you? Have you retired?"
Shen Huai naturally didn't know him, but he waved at him and didn't want to say more.
When other passersby saw the Shen family's appearance, they quietly retreated. Smart people knew that normal retirement was not like this.
There were also those wearing linen straw sandals who felt they could not help and just shook their heads and walked away.
Shen Lingzhu didn't dare to express his thanks out loud so as not to embarrass the people leaving, but his eldest brother stood over and bowed silently as he watched them leave. In the end, not many people stayed.
Afterwards, she focused her attention and listened to what the doctor said. She didn't understand what he was saying, such as pregnancy cough, yin deficiency and lung dryness, and left sinking and right floating.
The senior sister who could give her the answer was listening attentively to the medical case.
The uncle and his son were extremely nervous. They had no idea that Hu was pretending at first because she couldn't be woken up at the moment.
After the two doctors finished their argument, they said that the baby was pregnant with twins and suggested that they go to the county town for recuperation.
Because Mrs. Hu really had the appearance of miscarriage, the medicines in their medicine box were incomplete, there was a hot wind blowing all over the place, and it was not suitable to give acupuncture to pregnant women.
One of the doctors happened to be from Ansu County and offered to escort them into the city, but his donkey was too stubborn to pull the cart.
Shit, it was an unexpected success.
Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister exchanged a quick glance, and helped her uncle and his son turn the car towards Shangguan Road.
At this time, the old lady in coarse cloth said: "If you don't mind, move this lady to my mule cart. It's faster than your mule cart.
I'm going to the city to visit relatives, so I just happened to be on my way."
"Please take my carriage." The wealthy businessman who had recognized Shen Huai before also quickly expressed his opinion.
Shen Huai was about to decline, but his senior sister spoke first, "Uncle, I think if we move to this old lady's car, we can get to the county town faster, and it will also be more convenient for the doctor to keep an eye on her outside the car at any time."
"Yes, uncle. We are walking too slowly and aunt can't wait. Look, she is not awake even with so many people talking." Shen Lingzhu was a little nervous holding Hu's hand.
It was originally a crooked trick to coax Mr. Shi away, but at this moment, the aunt's palms were cold.
It was very similar to the feeling she had when her roommate left in her previous life.
Shen Xianzhu also said: "Dad, the old lady must have seen more than us.
Could you please help take care of him?" He turned to the old lady and bowed deeply to beg her. The old lady naturally agreed to help and quickly helped him up.
Shen Huai nodded and everyone took action immediately. The old lady asked her family to move the mule cart closer and helped Shen Huai and his son lift Hu.
"Xiao Zhuzi, put your things away." Seeing Shen Lingzhu being pushed aside by the adults, the senior sister turned around and instructed her.
"Yeah." She also knew that she was small and weak, so she tried her best to do the logistics.
As he was putting his bowls into the basket, someone came up to him and said, "Little girl, you just said that someone was persecuting you, but who was it?
When we came over, the group had already fled on horseback."
"Thank you very much for what I have done just now, sir. I don't know your name, but I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future." Shen Lingzhu put down her things and saluted like a scholar. It was this man who looked like a scholar in Confucian robes who was the first to rush to her on horseback to see if she was injured.
He and his men helped her stop a car and ask who the doctor was, otherwise why would they have called two people to take her pulse at once?
At this moment, she also noticed that the other person's temperament was somewhat similar to that of her uncle, but he was a little younger. In addition to being serious, his face also had a hint of murderous intent. Was he really an official?
My senior sister once said that Baozhou was an important official road guarding the capital, and it was also a major road for many officials to travel north by land. They made a fuss and ran to stop someone, not necessarily without thinking that they might have stopped an important person.
Uncle didn't recognize him when they met just now, so he probably hasn't seen him before, but would he recognize the runaway Mr. Shi?
As soon as the thought came to her mind, she immediately continued, "Just now, that Mr. Shi mentioned that he was the Right Captain of the Divine Martial Right Guard.
First he pointed a horsewhip at my uncle's face and told us to come to him, but that didn't work. Then he yelled at us and insisted we kneel down before him on the spot."
Well, that's basically it. Shen Lingzhu particularly hopes that the scholar in front of him is the inspector-general mentioned by his senior sister, and that he will go to the capital to severely denounce Mr. Shi.
