Chapter 10 Zhao Yun, the Madman
After seeing Shen Zhang off, Shen Shuwei walked in with the medicine bowl and saw the man sitting quietly leaning against a soft pillow. When he saw her come in, he gave her a simple and harmless smile.
"Thank you, young lady."
Chen Shuwei smiled back, handed him the cooled medicine, and inquired subtly, "I don't think your accent sounds like someone from the capital, but rather like someone from Liangzhou."
Zhao Yun took the medicine bowl and took a sip. He raised his head and smiled slightly, looking a little shy and immature. "Young lady, you can actually distinguish the Qingliangzhou accent. How amazing."
"It's a pity that I can't remember anything right now. Maybe even someone from Liangzhou can't tell." He sighed regretfully, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you, young lady."
Seeing that his answer was impeccable and his expression was flawless, and that he was indeed seriously injured and needed rest, Chen Shuwei comforted him with a few words, then stood up, closed the door and went out.
Almost at the moment the door closed, Zhao Yun's expression changed. He went downstairs with the medicine bowl in his hand and poured it into the flowerpot.
He put his hand on his throat and vomited out all the medicine he had just drunk.
He stroked the gold Epiphyllum ornaments that Chen Shuwei had taken off and placed on the bedside, with a gentle and creepy smile on his face.
It's been discovered.
-
The next morning, Shen Shuwei was awakened by the noise in the kitchen.
Qingdai came in and helped her wash her face and rinse her mouth, and changed her clothes.
Chen Shuwei followed the sounds coming from the kitchen and saw the wild man who had not recovered from his serious injury last night standing in front of the stove cooking porridge. The mist was steaming his fair face. He was such a virtuous young man.
Shen Shuwei raised his eyebrows and walked in, "Didn't the doctor say you needed to rest, why did you come out?"
Zhao Yun seemed to have just discovered her. He dropped the spoon in his hand in shock and smiled embarrassedly, pursing his lips. "I have caused so much trouble for the young lady, how can I still lie in bed with the nerve to do so?"
Zhao Yun filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Shen Shuwei, his eyes slightly curved, and whispered, "Miss, try it."
Shen Shuwei took the bowl, but put it aside without moving.
She has no habit of eating in the kitchen.
When Zhao Yun saw that she didn't drink it, his eyes flashed.
What a pity, he had added medicine to it. If she didn't drink it, how could he torture her to find out her true intentions?
When Shen Zhang and his companions walked in from outside, they saw two people standing face to face and having a pleasant conversation.
Chen Zhang snorted, his eyes so cold that they seemed to be icy.
Seducing people early in the morning.
Shen Zhiyang tugged at Shen Heng's sleeve slightly, "The person that Third Sister and Second Brother picked up is quite handsome and can even cook."
Chen Heng rubbed her head helplessly, "Ayang likes him?"
Chen Zhiyang blushed. Who doesn't like to see a handsome young man? She twisted her waist awkwardly and said, "It's just so-so."
Chen Heng laughed and looked at the dark-faced Chen Zhang, "Ah Zhang, since the doctor said he needs to stay at our house to recuperate for the time being, let him stay here first. It won't be too late to let him leave after he recovers."
Chen Zhang walked out with a sullen face, "Whatever."
Watching Chen Zhang leave, Chen Heng sighed and called into the kitchen, "Shu Wei, Zhang went out to buy some snacks this morning. You and that young master should come out to eat."
With the breakfast bought by Shen Zhang, the Shen family members naturally did not touch the porridge that Zhao Yun cooked early in the morning.
A few people had just finished their breakfast around the table when a commotion suddenly broke out outside. A servant hurried in to report, "A well-dressed young man has arrived at the gate. He claims to be the Prince of Kangping, and he's blocking the entrance with a dozen or so bags of gifts. He's insisting that all of us young men and women go out to meet him."
Chen Shuwei put down his bowl and chopsticks, raising his eyebrows slightly.
It came so quickly.
The Shen family members thought about what happened last night and were not surprised. They quickly packed up and went out to meet the guests.
At the entrance of the Shen Mansion, Xiao Chifeng stood in the middle of a pile of gifts with high spirits. The pearls in his hair sparkled and exuded the smell of money.
"Why are you so slow?" After seeing Shen Shuwei and Shen Zhang, he complained unhappily, "My legs are sore from standing so long."
After saying this, he raised his hand and asked his servants to carry all the gifts in. He then walked in with a swagger, "Why don't you serve me some tea and snacks? I've been waiting for so long that my mouth is dry."
When Chen Shuwei saw the gifts being carried in like water, he did not stop them. He followed Xiao Chifeng in and asked Qingdai to serve tea with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chifeng resisted repeatedly when he saw Qingdai, muttering: "This prince does not like women to serve him closely, let your servant come."
Chen Zhang followed in and heard this, he tutted, and just happened to catch a glimpse of Zhao Yun pouring porridge. Without thinking, he called him in, "Come in and pour tea."
It's because he doesn't like both of them.
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly covered his lips and started coughing. He was coughing so hard that he was about to faint, but he still said with all his strength: "I'll be right over, cough cough cough!"
Chen Shuwei's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly asked someone to help him away, and another person came forward to pour tea.
Shen Zhang's face turned black.
Which acting troupe are they from to perform such a good show?
Xiao Chifeng took a sip of tea, tutted his words in a pretentious manner, and looked at Chen Zhang, who had been in a bad mood since he came in. "Your name is Chen Zhang, right? You used the sword very well last night. This king values talents. Would you like to join the Imperial Guard?"
The current atmosphere is not good. The military examination has not been held for several years. If you want to become a military officer, you either have to start from the bottom or have someone like Xiao Chifeng who has a big boss to recommend you.
Of the two roads, the second one is easier and wider.
Shen Zhang's face changed, and he subconsciously looked at Shen Shuwei. Could it be that his third sister asked him to rescue Prince Kangping last night in order to let him take the path of a military officer?
Seeing him looking at her, Shen Shuwei blinked and motioned him to agree.
In his previous life, Chu Yunlan was not good at writing, so she spent a lot of effort to find connections and recommend him to the Imperial Guard. However, he did not appreciate the kindness. After being instigated by Chu Xinrou, he felt that she was harming him. He got angry for a long time and asked her to contact the examiners and submit his poems and essays to them.
Shen Shuwei had no choice but to apologize repeatedly to the imperial guards, and spent time revising his poems, essays and policy papers, and submitting them for him. Only then did he win the favor of the chief examiner.
Thinking about how he had been bullied by both sides in his previous life, that beast Chu Yunlan was ungrateful. After he became a high-ranking official, he loved Chu Xinrou in every way, but let her starve to death in the cold courtyard.
Chen Shu lowered his eyes slightly to hide the coldness in his eyes, and raised the corners of his lips.
Didn’t Chu Xinrou claim that she cared the most about Chu Yunlan? She wanted to see how far Chu Xinrou could go for Chu Yunlan in this life.
After Shen Zhang agreed, Xiao Chifeng was overjoyed. He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. Just as he was about to speak, another servant came in with a strange look on his face, "Another young man is outside, clamoring to see the third young lady."
Shen Shuwei blinked. See her?
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion and saw Chu Yunlan standing at the gate with an angry face and glaring at him, Shen Shuwei felt unlucky.
She turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Chu Yunlan, "Stop! Are you feeling guilty after seeing me?"
Shen Shuwei thought he was mentally ill and turned away speechlessly, "I don't know where Mr. Chu got this from, and why I feel guilty."
"You know what you did." Chu Yunlan sneered, "I came here to ask you to apologize to the headmaster of Bailu Academy. I don't know what you said to him that caused the teacher of the academy to look at me coldly now."
"Chen Shuwei, I'm giving you this chance to correct your mistakes because you're still my sister. Now prepare some gifts and go to my house to apologize. Ask him to return to his old attitude towards me."
"Also, give me the prescription you gave to Princess Hengyang. I want to give it to Xinrou and ask her to deliver it to Princess Hengyang."
