Chapter 247 The Weasel Greets the Chicken
Shenzhoufu didn't expect Madam Shen to come suddenly, wondering if there was something urgent, and looked at Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan quickly spoke tactfully.
"Sir Shen, Madam Shen, I came to you at this time and said that I have something important to tell you. I'm afraid it's really important. Please go and get busy. I have something here that Madam Jun asked me to give to Miss Shen. After handing it over, I have to go back to the city tower."
After hearing this, the Chenzhou government bowed.
"Then I'll take my leave of this state government."
Then he gave Shen Luoyun a warning.
"Greet Lord Lu properly."
Shen Luoyun bowed and saluted.
"Yes, don't worry, father."
As soon as Shenzhoufu left, Shen Luoyun had an urgent question.
"Master Lu, Madam Jun, does she have anything to give me?"
Lu Zhan took a box from the guard beside him.
"Miss Shen, these contain some ginseng. Madam Jun said that the soldiers were already injured, and now the war is intense, so they have to make do with food and clothing. I asked you to make some soup with these ginseng and share it with the injured soldiers to replenish their bodies."
Shen Luoyun hurriedly reached out to take it.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Madam Jun, I will definitely not waste it."
After hearing this, Lu Zhan raised his hand and bowed.
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Shen Er. I'll take my leave."
Shen Luoyun noticed that every time he raised his hands to bow, his brows would frown slightly. Although it was very subtle, he had been in contact with the wounded these days and could tell that his injuries were probably not healed yet.
"Master Lu, is your left shoulder injury still not healed?"
Lu Zhan didn't expect that Shen Luoyun was still concerned about his injuries.
“Thank you for your concern, Miss Shen Er. I’m much better now. I’m just too busy and haven’t had time to change the dressing today.”
Shen Luoyun hurriedly spoke after hearing this.
"When I was bandaging Lord Lu that day, I saw that the wound was quite deep. I'm afraid it will take some time to heal. If Lord Lu doesn't mind, why don't you let Luo Yun change the bandage for him?"
Lu Zhan's expression changed after hearing this, and he finally looked at Shen Luoyun and spoke.
"Then I'll trouble Miss Shen Er."
Shen Luoyun spoke calmly.
"Master Lu, please follow me. There are medicines in the room."
Then he instructed the two maids who were looking after the medicine furnace.
"Everyone, pay attention to the fire. Prepare the medicine quickly and send it over for everyone to drink."
Lu Zhan followed Shen Luoyun to the room, which smelled of medicine and had various medicine bottles on the shelves.
Shen Luoyun took a bottle of medicine skillfully.
"Master Lu, please show your wound. This is the medicine the doctor applied when he bandaged it for you last time."
Lu Zhan pulled up his clothes, revealing his injured left shoulder. His ears were slightly red. This was the second time he let a girl apply medicine on him, and it was also the first time a girl bandaged his wound.
Shen Luoyun looked at the white cloth used to bandage the wound, which was already soaked with blood. As he tried to untie the cloth, he spoke with a hint of blame.
"Master Lu, your wound is bleeding again. After all, it's a knife wound. You should pay more attention to yourself. If it continues like this, it will affect the killing of the enemy in the mall when the North Wing attacks."
Lu Zhan didn't expect that Miss Shen, who had always spoken softly in the wounded camp, also had such a side to her, and spoke with some embarrassment.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss. However, the war is very tense and I am really too busy. Sometimes I accidentally..."
Shen Luoyun naturally knew the cruelty of the war. Looking at the many injured soldiers in the wounded camp, he knew that although the battle was won, it was not easy in the northwest. He silently changed the medicine for Lu Zhan and prayed in his heart, hoping that no more people would die or be injured, and that the war would end soon.
"The medicine has been changed, Lord Lu. I'll have someone change your medicine again when we get home tonight."
Lu Zhan pulled up his clothes and couldn't help but look at Shen Luoyun twice more. This Second Miss Shen was not spoiled at all. For a girl, decocting and changing medicines were hard and dirty jobs, but she didn't expect that there was no disgust in her eyes, and she persisted for so many days. Wasn't she afraid that it would affect her future marriage?
“I come from the Imperial City and have seen many young ladies in the boudoir, but Miss Shen Er is different from all of them.”
Shen Luoyun's expression remained normal after hearing this. He had heard this kind of words many times and was used to it.
"I'm just trying my best to help. Compared to Madam Jun, I'm far behind. I just hope that what I'm doing now can reduce Madam Jun's pressure a little bit, even if it's just a little bit."
Lu Zhan looked at her expression which did not seem to be false, and his eyes changed. If he remembered correctly, this Second Miss Shen was originally intended to be given to Young Master Jun by the Chenzhou Prefecture. He did not expect that she would become good friends with the Madam in the end, and she seemed to care more about the Madam's opinion of her.
"Miss Shen, everyone has their strengths. Miss Shen, you are also very capable. There is no need to worry about whether you have done enough. I have things to do, so I will take my leave first. When we win, I will come to thank you."
Shen Luoyun hurriedly spoke after hearing this.
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. Lord Lu, take care."
Lu Zhan nodded and walked out.
Shen Luoyun also went to sort out the medicine bottles on the shelf and check which medicines needed to be replenished.
Lu Zhan, who had walked to the door, suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Luoyun who was busy. Lu Zhan couldn't help but be distracted, and quickly restrained his expression and left.
In Chenzhou Prefecture, due to the special circumstances, there is only one ordinary house in Chenzhou Prefecture.
When Mrs. Shen arrived, she stood up with a gentle expression.
"master."
Chenzhoufu spoke slowly.
"Madam, why are you here? Xifeng just said that you have something important to say. Did something happen?"
Mrs. Shen looked at his anxious look and spoke hurriedly.
"Nothing happened, sir. The truth is, the war is getting intense and food is urgently needed. I asked someone to sort out the food in my manor and prepare to send it to the granary on the other side of the city wall. But I'm just a woman, and I'm afraid that if I go there, they won't be able to..."
His daughter, regardless of her reputation, brought maids and servants to bandage the injured soldiers, and now his wife sent food. Chenzhou Fu was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Madam, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
Then he took off the token on his body and placed it in Madam Shen’s hand.
"This is my token, Madam, take it and go deliver the food."
Madam Shen held the token in her hand and spoke calmly.
"Thank you, Master. I will go and deliver the food now."
On the northwest tower.
Su Hanchu looked into the distance with a telescope, looking at the densely packed tents of the North Wing Army thirty miles away.
After taking a look, he handed the telescope in his hand to Jun Moye.
"Take a look."
Jun Moye spoke as he watched.
“It seems their reinforcements haven’t arrived yet.
Su Hanchu spoke thoughtfully.
"Chinese New Year is just two days away. Since the Northern Wing won't fight, let's all celebrate the New Year. I'll ask Han Zhi to find a way to get more meat to serve as a meal for the soldiers."
This is the granary on the city wall.
The guard guarding the granary looked at Madam Shen with gratitude.
“Mrs. Shen is so grateful to you for sending us so much food and two pigs.”
Mrs. Shen heard this and spoke hurriedly.
"What are you thanking me for? It's New Year's Day. You've worked so hard to defend here. We don't know when the northern wing will attack us. Let the soldiers eat more. Only when they are full will they have the strength to kill the enemy."
The soldier guarding the granary heard this and spoke hurriedly with a smile.
“Mrs. Shen, don’t worry, brothers, we will fight bravely and kill the enemy.”
Only after hundreds of bags of grain were moved from the carriages into the warehouse did Mrs. Shen say goodbye to the soldiers and leave. As she left, she carefully looked around and secretly noted down the route.
