MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 2
chapter 2
Linglan has always done things safely, and soon brought an old man over.
Wen Ning hadn't left the cabinet yet, and she only asked the doctor through the screen. The doctor seemed to be very experienced in this kind of situation, and after taking the pulse, he said slowly: "I'm afraid that Miss has been too worried recently. I heard that there is going to be a happy event in the house recently. I think Miss I am also tired because of this. The old man prescribed three doses of medicine for the young lady, but I also ask the young lady to relax and take more rest. If there is no improvement after the three doses of medicine, the old man will come again."
When Linglan mentioned it like this, she came to her senses.
Didn't her girl start to have a fever the day Shen's family came to discuss marriage, and then the nightmare kept talking nonsense?
But she hadn't connected the two before.
Firstly, the marriage contract between the girl and the second son of the Shen family was agreed upon since childhood, and the specific matters were only formally discussed recently; secondly, although the girl and Mr. Shen are not childhood sweethearts, they can always see each other two or three times a year. It can be seen that the two have some affection, the girl blushes every time she mentions Mr. Shen, her eyes seem to have Wang Chunquan in her eyes.
But she did hear people say before that women tend to be anxious and anxious before they get married. After all, being a married woman is very different from being a girl at home.
Ling Langton felt guilty.
The wife of the mansion passed away early, and there was only one master and two sons. The girl had nowhere to tell about the matter of the boudoir. The master also considered this, so he specially appointed the eldest girl, who is two years old, to be the eldest girl. She thinks that she has always been careful and thoughtful, but she has never thought of this matter.
So when Langzhong left, Linglan immediately helped Wen Ning sit down on the low couch, and while combing her hair, she said softly: "Girl, it's all because of Alan, but I didn't notice the girl's thoughts at all. You and Shen Young Master, I haven't seen you for three months, but do you feel that you are a bit born?"
Yesterday’s dream was still cold and harsh, but when I woke up from the dream, it was full of spring. Wen Ning opened the window beside the couch, took a deep breath: “Maybe it is.”
Her nightmares for several days were not because of Shen Jin, but the name Shen Jin, her marriage with Shen Jin had passed for many years, and they were indeed very special.
"Girl, this happens to every girl before marriage. Some ladies have never met their husbands before marriage. The girl and Mr. Shen are good friends, and they know each other well. Although being married is not as comfortable as being at home, don't worry, Alan. I will do my best to help, the mistress of the Shen family looks a little difficult, but Mr. Shen has treated you very well, and will definitely stand by your side." Linglan twirled Wen Ning's hair, and Xu Xu said.
Wen Ning did not listen carefully to her words, resting her chin on the spring scenery outside the window, lost in her own thoughts.
When discussing marriage in the previous life, she was nervous and shy, and she generally agreed with Linglan's thoughts.
She was engaged to Shen Jin since she was a child. When she was younger, she didn't understand what it meant, but her eldest brother and second brother kept making fun of her about it, which made her blush and didn't know how to refute, so she yelled, "I don't want to marry, I Don't marry the second son of the Shen family!"
When she was older, with a girlish mind, Shen Jin was top-notch in terms of appearance and talent. As a military commander, he always spoke softly when talking to her, and treated her with consideration and meticulousness, which really touched her heart.
So although she has worries, she is willing to marry. The Shen family's mistress did make things difficult for her, but in the end the marriage negotiation went smoothly.
She was also employed by three matchmakers and six hired, and married into the Shen family.
It's just that the day of marrying into the Shen family is not as beautiful as imagined.
On the day of the wedding, before the bridal chamber entered, Shen Jin received an urgent call to go to southern Xinjiang overnight, leaving her as a bride to face the whole family of Shen's family alone.
The mistress of the Shen family, Liang Shi, wanted to regret the marriage when she was negotiating marriage, but she couldn't bear Shen Jin's tough attitude and failed to make things happen.
Wen Ning was only fifteen years old at that time, not to mention the apple of her eye in the Wen family, but also grew up under the blessing and favor of Wen Tingchun and her two elder brothers. After his wife's death, Wen Tingchun never continued to take concubines. It can be said that Wen Ning was the only woman in the backyard. How could she ever have the opportunity to learn about the various ways in the backyard of the deep house? In Shen Jin's absence, no one supported her, and she suffered a lot of grievances both openly and secretly.
In fact, before she married, she knew that Mrs. Liang was difficult to get along with. Since Shen Jin was not around, she would accept those grievances. She always wanted to endure it and wait for Shen Jin to come back.
But half a year later, news came from the front that the Southern Expeditionary Army suffered a severe setback. Shen Jin, the second son of the Shen family, the youngest general of the dynasty, died in battle.
Overnight, the Liang family no longer maintained even the last bit of decency, and cried and cursed her as a "disastrous star" and "Kefu", and wanted to expel her from the Shen family.
In just half a year, the Wen family is no longer what it used to be. Wen Tingchun's official worship is the fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister. His official rank is not low, but he doesn't have much power. He only manages the court's servants and master of ceremonies.
But it happened that an accident happened in this stable and safe official position.
That year, when Prince Ryukyu came to visit, someone poisoned Prince Ryukyu's drink at the dust-cleaning banquet, and died suddenly on the spot. Wen Tingchun was detained for accountability, the eldest son of the Wen family asked himself to be an envoy to go to Ryukyu to mediate the matter, and the second son of the Wen family, who has always been cynical, also asked for orders to go to northern Xinjiang to serve the country.
Wen Mansion was already empty, and Wen Ning had nowhere to go.
At that time, Wen Ning thought that Liang's expulsion of her from the mansion was due to her dislike for her, coupled with the pain of losing her son, and having nowhere to vent her grief, she blamed all the unhappiness on her head.
It was only later that she realized that all of that was just a deal between Liang Shi and Pei You.
"Girl?" Linglan waved her hand in front of Wen Ning's eyes.
Wen Ning came back to her senses and raised her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Linglan was stunned for a moment.
She always has an illusion that after the last fever, the girl seems to have grown up a lot suddenly, except for nightmares and nonsense. In the past, the girl was not lively, but after all, she was young and there was no mistress at home, so she often showed a confused and timid expression, and she was very dependent on her.
Woke up this time, from demeanor to eyes, showing a calmness that was never there before.
"I just said that if you are still worried, how do you think we will go to Ci'en Temple to offer incense in two days' time when the weather is good?" Linglan's thoughts came and went quickly, and she repeated what she just said with a smile. again.
Wen Ning still did not answer her proposal, but asked her: "Then how did the doctor know that there will be a happy event in the Fuchu soon? But what happened?"
Linglan froze for a moment, nodded and said: "Shangshu Shen and Mrs. Liang came here today to discuss matters with the master in the main hall. I think the doctor saw it." Then she smiled and said: "You also know that the relationship between you and Mr. Shen Er Who doesn't know about the marriage contract in the capital? If the Shen family hadn't acted too early, the threshold of our Wen family would have been broken by the time you reach the age of Ji this year!"
"The doctor saw the master, Shen Shangshu and his wife together, so he naturally guessed what they were discussing."
While Linglan was speaking, Wen Ning had already stood up from the low couch, walked to the mirror and looked around to make sure that her hair had been combed, took out the dowry, and smeared some lip balm.
"Girl, this is..." Linglan wondered.
"I'll go to the front hall." Wen Ning turned around and left.
"Girl, your afternoon sweet soup hasn't been used yet..."
Linglan hurriedly followed: "Miss, what the master and Shen Shangshu are discussing this time is your marriage with the Second Young Master Shen, I'm afraid it's not right for you to go..."
Wen Ning ignored it.
It was precisely because they were discussing her marriage with Shen Jin that she wanted to go all the more.
