Chapter 203 The treasure that the third brother has treasured for many years
The two brothers walked into the front hall together. Shen Lue searched anxiously for Shen Qingtan, only to see her sitting with Princess Zhenbei. They didn't know what they were talking about, but both of them had smiles on their faces.
Shen Lue was used to being careless. The military camp was full of rough men who didn't care much about details.
The meals that Princess Zhenbei eats are very exquisite, even the presentation of the dishes is very particular, not to mention the clothes and accessories she wears.
The first time Shen Lue saw Shen Qingtan, the string in his mind was tightened.
Oh no, my sister and mother are the same kind of people.
He pulled his clothes and saw a big mess on his sleeve where he wiped the box, and his brows furrowed tightly.
He covered his face with his sleeves and walked to the table. When Shen Qingtan looked over, he crossed his long legs and sat on the stool.
"Little sister." Shen Lue grinned at Shen Qingtan, reached under the table, quietly lifted the hem of his robe, turned it over, and secretly wiped the dirt on his sleeves onto the hem of his robe: "I am your third brother, Shen Lue, not the Lue of omission, but the Lue of great talent and strategy."
Shen Qingtan turned to look at Shen Lue. His eyes were clear, his smile was masculine and clean, with a hint of silliness.
She curved her lips and smiled, "Third brother."
Shen Lue chuckled twice, glanced under the table, and saw that his sleeves were cleaner.
He secretly felt lucky that he was wearing a dark robe today, so it wouldn't be noticeable even if it was a little dirty.
"Third brother brought you a gift specially."
Shen Lue took out the wooden box and handed it to Shen Qingtan as if he was presenting a treasure.
Shen Qingtan lowered his eyes to look at the wooden box. The box was not small, but Shen Lue's hands were very broad, like a palm-leaf fan. Holding the box with both hands, the box looked very small.
Under Shen Lue's expectant gaze, she picked up the wooden box with both hands.
Shen Lue urged: "Little sister, open it and take a look."
Princess Zhenbei, Shen Du, and Chen Zhuo all looked a little strange, but they did not stop Shen Qingtan from opening the box.
Shen Qingtan glanced at their reactions and slowly opened the box, which contained a small clay doll.
The doll's head was large and round, with stubby eyebrows, its eyes dotted with ink, and its cheekbones smeared with crimson rouge. Its chubby body was painted with a stain that looked like it had been splashed with several different colors, giving it a dirty look.
"Little sister, do you like it?" Shen Lue put his head in front of Shen Qingtan: "Third brother made several pieces and broke them before he made this satisfactory one. Big brother and second brother wanted to take a closer look, but I couldn't bear it. This time I came to the capital to see you, I specially brought you the treasure that I have collected for many years."
The corner of Shen Zhuo's mouth twitched, and they didn't want to look at him at all.
The third brother’s vision has always been different from theirs. He basically collects all the ugly things outside.
Chen Du's eyes felt uncomfortable and he turned his head away, unable to bear to look.
Princess Zhenbei was a little surprised that the third brother actually gave his treasure to Manman.
Shen Qingtan looked at Shen Lue's masterpiece, which was also his treasure.
She didn't know if it was because of his influence or if there was something peculiar about this ugly big-headed doll, but after looking at it a few more times, she actually found it ugly-cute.
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Very cute."
"Third brother knew you would like it." Shen Lue said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother actually called it Ah Chou."
"That's a good name." Shen Qingtan took out the big-headed doll from the box and touched the blush on the doll's cheek with his fingertips: "Let's call it Ah Chou from now on."
Although Shen Lue felt that the name Achou was not suitable for the doll he made, he did not object when he saw that Shen Qingtan really liked it.
Princess Zhenbei, Shen Du, and Shen Zhuo thought Shen Qingtan was trying to comfort Shen Lue, but seeing her playing with the big-headed doll, it seemed like she really liked it.
Shen Qingtan was the first person to recognize Shen Lue as a baby, and Shen Lue felt closer to Shen Qingtan.
He moved a round stool and placed it between Shen Qingtan and Shen Zhuo, pushing Shen Zhuo away.
"Little sister, Third Brother has many treasures. Come with us to Liangzhou and I will give you all the ones I like."
"Okay." Shen Qingtan really wanted to go to Liangzhou and see her real home: "But we have to wait until my husband's illness is cured before we go to Liangzhou."
“Is that so…” Shen Lue was a little disappointed, but soon cheered up again: “How can his illness be cured?”
Shen Qingtan observed the thoughtful expressions of Shen Lue and Shen Du. When they heard Zhao Yi, their expressions were very calm, as if they accepted him.
"My husband's illness can only be cured by the Medical Saint Zhong Yuan." Shen Qingtan did not hide anything: "Our people have found out that the Medical Saint is in Suizhou, Northern Qi. We have sent people to look for him. We are almost there."
"Suizhou..." Princess Zhenbei repeated the place name, somewhat worriedly saying, "Divine Doctor Zhong has been hiding in Suizhou for many years, and no news has come out. He doesn't want anyone to find him. You don't have the exact location, and Divine Doctor Zhong is intentionally hiding his whereabouts, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him."
"I heard that the imperial physician issued a final ultimatum. My brother-in-law only has less than six months to live. We don't have much time to slowly find someone."
Chen Du made up his mind: "I will arrange for someone to go to Suizhou to find Doctor Zhong."
Shen Lue nodded: "We can let the spies check, they are the best at finding people."
They didn't hear Shen Zhuo's statement and all looked at him.
Chen Zhuo looked at their expressions that said, "You don't fit in," and frowned, saying, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't say I wouldn't look for you."
If we only rely on these people's talk, it will take who knows when to find the answer. It's really troublesome. He has to step forward again.
Princess Zhenbei looked at Chen Zhuo for a moment. She knew that she would have to pay the price for her stubbornness and regret it in the end.
"Little sister, don't pay attention to him, he's just like that." Shen Lue was worried that Shen Qingtan would misunderstand that her brother didn't like her, so she muttered, "The sky is falling, and he's still stubborn."
Shen Qingtan laughed. At first sight, she could tell that Shen Zhuo had an awkward personality.
When Shen Lue saw Shen Qingtan smile, he thought of what had just happened in the backyard and deliberately changed the subject.
"Little sister, I got lost in the Duke's Mansion and accidentally hit a brother on the head with a stone. Not only was he not angry, he even showed me the way."
Shen Qingtan frowned, suspecting that Shen Lue had met Zhao Jue.
If Zhao Jue wants to climb up the big tree of Zhenbei Palace, he will definitely do things to please Shen Lue.
She quickly asked, "Who showed you the way?"
"I don't know him either. He should be a man from the mansion. He is about the same height as me, but his body is only half my size." Shen Lue gestured and nodded his head: "He looks like an idiot."
As soon as he finished speaking, the "idiot" mentioned by Shen Lue walked into the front hall.
He also held a letter in his hand.
