"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. My sisters and I have been studying with our uncle and learning needlework and cooking from our aunt." After hearing what she said, Shen Miaozhu was too lazy to even bow.

No wonder Grandpa didn't come to see her, there must be a reason.

"Ahem." The old lady at the head of the table said, "Studying in the countryside is different from studying in the capital. Your aunt has good intentions and can't bear to see you suffer in the countryside any longer, so she specially invites you to relax for a few days."

Shen Lingzhu complained in her heart, but come on, it would be strange if the atmosphere in your family is relaxed.

When she hoped that her senior sister would refuse again, she said:

“There will be a lantern festival in the city this Mid-Autumn Festival. You two and your elders may want to wait until the festival is over before returning.

Our house isn't big, but we can still prepare a separate guest house for you."

When you give someone a gift, you must have something in mind!

What's more, it was the wife of the main house who asked for help from the concubine's family, so Shen Lingzhu didn't dare to stay here.

So she gave her senior sister a look, then pressed an acupuncture point decisively, and suddenly she fell down without any warning.

Shen Miaozhu cooperated very well and caught the person who fell to the ground together: "Grandma, please take Third Sister to see a doctor quickly. She is sick again."

Her words immediately drew glances from the lady and aunt at the table, neither of them having expected that there was a sick child.

When a woman screamed, the eldest and second grandmothers quickly stood up and approached: "Are you sick?"

After Shen Miaozhu pretended to check it out, she said anxiously: "Last time on the way home, my sister and I were hurt and both got sick.

Whenever the third sister gets anxious, she tends to get cold all over and pass out, so she has to go to Baorentang to get medicine.

Grandma, let’s go find a doctor right away.”

"Come, put it on my back." Second Grandma turned around and took it down. She had been doing farm work all year round and was very strong.

Shen Miaozhu put her junior sister on Second Mistress's back without any delay.

"Go find a doctor quickly," the wife of the main room, who was sitting at the top of the table, suddenly shouted as they were about to flee. "Since the child is ill, he should rest and not move."

"Second sister-in-law, let the maid carry her to my courtyard." As soon as Aunt Shen opened her mouth, Second Madam was displeased. "No need!"

She strode away with Shen Lingzhu on her back: "Little sister, it would be faster if you could send a car to take us to the clinic."

Before they entered Xue's house, they handed the car to one of their uncle's men and parked it not far from the house.

At this moment, the grandmother ran to the door and rolled back the curtain: "Dazhuzi, go find Uncle Qi."

This was the second time she had been to the Xue Residence, and seeing their schemes again was really unpleasant. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted.

Shen Miaozhu didn't dare to leave, "Grandma, even if I call Uncle Seven, he won't be able to enter the Chuihua Gate."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at the women of the Xue family. Without their orders, the maids who ran to the door did not move a muscle.

"What are you doing? Get the car ready." The old lady at the top stood up and glared at her daughters-in-law. No matter whether they were married to her biological sons or not, she didn't like any of them.

On the other hand, Aunt Shen was still sitting there without moving, not even glancing at Shen Lingzhu's condition.

Here, the second wife was jogging with the child on her back, which startled the servants of the Xue family.

Shen Lingzhu lay on the old man's back, feeling quite guilty. It was not until they ran to the outer courtyard and were taken over by Uncle Seventh who heard the news that she felt a little relieved.

This wave of trouble ended up in Baorentang. Fortunately, my senior sister had some connections with the people there, so the shopkeeper Ren Tang took her to a courtyard in the backyard without saying a word.

They also worked together to drive the man and the Xue family out of the door.

Shen Lingzhu then opened his eyes and smiled at the two anxious grandmothers.

The consequences...

...

The next day, Shen Lingzhu leaned against the window again to see who was looking, but it turned out to be just a few medicine boys picking and drying herbs.

But they didn't have room to talk anymore, so she handed over the palm-leaf fan and said, "I'll go ask about the price of saltpeter. Let Auntie cool down first."

"Okay, go ahead." Shen Miaozhu took the fan and fanned her aunt. She didn't stop her because it was sometimes easier for children to find out things.

Relying on her age advantage, Shen Lingzhu had become familiar with several medicine boys in the past few days, so she got the answer as soon as she asked, but she asked more about the big stores with a good reputation in Beijing.

After a while, the little medicine boys told her everything they knew.

All that remains is to wait for my eldest brother to come back and think of a way to sell the ice-making method.

Of course Shen Lingzhu would not wait in vain. She took the opportunity to let the medicine boy carry things and came to the front hall.

Looking around, there are so many people queuing up for medical treatment. Why didn't she study medicine before? Economic engineering was not used in ancient times, oh no, it has not been used in modern times.

As he was thinking this, he had already reached the main entrance of Jirentang Clinic. As soon as he stepped out, his uncle, looking exhausted, appeared in front of him. "What are you going to do?"

"Uncle, let me see if my brother is back." Shen Lingzhu found that his uncle had changed his Confucian robe into linen clothes. Did he go to the pawnshop?

Shen Huai turned his niece's head away so that she wouldn't see the embarrassment in his eyes.

He nodded to the infirmary owner who was looking over, then led Shen Lingzhu through the front hall and into the backyard before saying, "If there are beggars on the street, don't leave the gate.

Is your aunt awake yet? We'll head home once the heat subsides."

"The doctor said he'll wake up soon." Shen Lingzhu watched him stride towards the ward and gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, have you asked for a car?"

Shen Huai's body stiffened slightly and his steps paused. Once he lost power, it was difficult for him to have relatives. The master who had helped him had retired two years ago. His fellow villagers and friends had already tried their best to send money to help his wife who needed precious medicinal herbs. He could not bother them anymore.

As for those I used to chat with, most of them were afraid of being implicated, so there was no need to bother myself.

But now, even trying to find a caravan from my hometown to take a ride has been rejected. The feeling is hard to get over. "Let's settle outside the city first."

"Will they be placed in the dilapidated temple?" Since everyone in the backyard was family, Shen Lingzhu asked more pointedly.

Shen Huai turned around abruptly, but his expression had returned to normal, "How could there be such a dilapidated temple near the Emperor's feet near the capital?

You little kid, stop imagining nonsense. Come with me to see your aunt."

Shen Lingzhu shook his head. When he was about to say something, his senior sister came out of the room and said, "Uncle, Xiaozhuzi, come in and drink some water first.

I just happened to have something to discuss with my uncle."

Three people entered the ward one after another, and it was impossible for them to drink water.

Shen Huai first went to the bedside and looked at his wife, Mrs. Hu. His gaze lingered on her bulging belly for a few breaths before he stood up.

Behind him, Shen Miaozhu had already poured water and served tea to Shen Lingzhu.

"Uncle, drink some water." Shen Lingzhu raised the glass with both hands obediently under the gaze of his senior sister.

Shen Huai sat down slowly, then reached out to take the cup and drank it all. He knew from his daily interactions with his two nieces that they were not stupid people. It seemed that they had been hiding their shortcomings a few days ago.

This is very good. It is not easy for women to survive, and it is beneficial for them to know when to advance and when to retreat. He has more free time this time when he returns to his hometown, so he wants to bring the children with him and teach them more.

As his mind raced, he turned his gaze to his eldest nephew and waited for her to speak.

At this moment, Shen Lingzhu on the opposite side felt the invisible pressure on her body removed, and she secretly glanced at her uncle.
