Chapter 9 Picked up a wild man of unknown origin
Shen Shuwei couldn't help but laugh when he saw Shen Zhang's wariness towards Prince Kangping.
Thinking that her purpose of saving people had been achieved, she also introduced herself to Prince Kangping to win his favor. Prince Kangping would mention it to Princess Rongyang and the general when he returned.
With the means they have, it would be easy to investigate her and her brother.
She and her second brother did not actively ask for rewards from Prince Kangping, and established a true character of not asking for anything in return. In the future, Princess Rongyang and the General's Mansion will double the rewards, and then it will be easy for her second brother to become a disciple of the General.
Unlike Shen Zhang's cold face, Shen Shuwei smiled and politely said goodbye to Prince Kangping, and then was dragged away by Shen Zhang.
On the way, Chen Zhang asked her persistently, "You went to so much trouble to save him, could it be that you have a crush on Prince Kangping?"
"I can tell you in advance that he's a simpleton, and you're still young, so it's too early to talk about marriage."
Shen Shuwei didn't expect Shen Zhang to think this way. He raised his eyelids and said with a smile, "Second brother, what are you thinking? Behind the Prince of Kangping is Princess Rongyang and the General's Mansion. I saved him for the power behind him."
"Besides, he is from a wealthy family, how could he be interested in me?"
Shen Zhang couldn't stand Shen Shuwei's self-deprecating words and was about to start a lecture when he heard a servant exclaim, "Second Master! There's a dead man in the grass, and he's quite handsome."
Shen Zhang got angry and kicked him.
A dead person is a dead person, what's the point of saying he's so handsome? A male ghost?
Chen Shuwei was quite courageous. He followed Chen Zhang with a lantern and pushed aside the weeds. He saw a young man with red lips and white teeth lying on the muddy ground. His face was as cold as jade and colder than snow. There was a red mole on the side of his eyebrows, and he looked like a fairy boy enshrined in a temple.
Shen Zhang stepped forward and felt his pulse, frowned and whispered, "He's not dead, he's still breathing."
Chen Shuwei didn't expect that he could pick up one more person when he came to the suburbs of Beijing this time.
She looked at the man's clothes and accessories thoughtfully, and after a moment she said, "Since we've encountered him, it's not good to leave him here. Why not take him back and find a doctor to treat him?"
Shen Zhang didn't object. Saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since the person could still be saved, there was no reason for him to leave him to die. He immediately carried the person on his back and returned home with Shen Shuwei.
It was already late at night when the two returned to the Shen family. Shen Zhiyang and Shen Heng were holding on and waiting for them to come back. As soon as Shen Zhang entered the house and saw that the two looked very sleepy, he urged them to go back to bed.
Shen Shuwei took the silver and sent someone to invite a doctor to the house. He took off the gold ornament in the shape of a night-blooming cereus from the man's waist and examined it carefully.
As soon as Shen Zhang came in, he saw her touching the man all over, and his heart skipped a beat. "What are you doing?"
The Prince of Kangping left, and here came a wild man of unknown origin.
Shen Shuwei gestured for him to close the door and handed him the gold ornaments in his hand, "Second brother, do you know about this?"
Seeing that the gold ornament had a peculiar shape, not only was it carved into the lifelike appearance of a blooming Epiphyllum, but there were also strange and difficult characters engraved on the petals, Shen Zhang couldn't help but frown and glanced at the wild man.
He is also a wild man with a great background.
Seeing that he couldn't recognize her, Shen Shuwei took the gold ornaments and explained, "This is a local custom in Liangzhou, but it's not common. It's only used by local nobles to ensure safety."
Speaking of Liangzhou, she remembered the assassination of the King of the Opposite Sex in Liangzhou in her previous life, Prince Jing, a few days before the welcoming banquet.
The Prince of Jing heard that the Bodhisattva had a vicious face and a cruel heart. Although she had never seen his appearance, she had heard of his horrific methods.
After the assassination, he massacred the Crown Princess's mother's family, carried several heads to the Golden Palace to file a complaint, and forced the emperor to depose the Crown Prince and divorce the Crown Princess.
Such drastic and decisive actions that do not take the royal family seriously will naturally arouse public controversy, but he has the support of Liangzhou, so even the emperor cannot do anything to him.
Shen Shuwei had just searched his body and couldn't find the token, so he found this piece of gold jewelry and guessed that the other party might be an attendant who followed Prince Jing to the capital.
The doctor was quickly called by the servants, who gave the man an acupuncture injection and medicine.
Shen Zhang was worried about Shen Shuwei being in the same room with a wild man, so he stood against the wall with his arms folded over his chest, staring at the other person intently.
Not long after, the man's chest heaved violently, he suddenly coughed, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Perhaps because he had been unconscious for too long, the man's eyes were a little confused. After a moment, he turned his face and leaned on the couch, coughing, as if he was going to cough to death on the couch.
Chen Zhang sneered repeatedly, it turned out that he was still a sickly person.
The Shen family has been so poor lately that they can barely make ends meet. Now that he has woken up, he should go home quickly and not cause any trouble for the Shen family.
However, Shen Zhang was destined to be disappointed. After coughing, the man raised his pale and delicate face. After looking at him, he looked at Shen Shuwei's face. There was a bit of helplessness in his eyes. "Excuse me, young lady, where is this place? Who am I?"
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at him strangely. Is he losing his memory?
"I'm sorry, I can't seem to remember anything. Are you my relatives?" Zhao Yun looked at Shen Shuwei and Shen Zhang with an apologetic look.
Without waiting for Shen Shuwei to speak, Shen Zhang rushed in to explain in a few words how he had found him, and said coldly and ruthlessly: "Since you are awake, please leave. This is not an asylum that can accommodate everyone."
Zhao Yun staggered, coughing as he rose from the couch. The guilt on his face was almost overflowing, making people feel pity. "So that's how it is. I'm sorry to have caused you all trouble."
He bent down and bowed to the two of them, and this action alone wiped out the color that had just returned to his face.
"Thank you both for your help."
Shen Zhang waved at him impatiently, signaling him to leave quickly.
He saw a flash of pity in Shen Shuwei's eyes. If this kid stayed, Shen Shuwei would no longer have him as her new second brother.
Zhao Yun smiled sadly at Chen Shu, then walked out holding onto the wall and coughing every three steps. Before he even left the house, he was coughing violently, and blood could be seen faintly through his handkerchief.
This frightened the doctor who was invited. He repeatedly asked the medicine boy to help Zhao Yun go back and lie down, and condemned him: "He is so seriously injured. He needs to be recuperated for at least ten days or half a month. If you kick him out now, aren't you asking him to die?"
After hearing what the doctor said, Chen Zhang frowned and stared at Zhao Yun.
He always felt that this kid did it on purpose and wanted to stay in the Shen family.
Seeing Shen Zhang looking over, Zhao Yun showed a gentle and obedient smile, and climbed up the ladder, "Then I'll have to trouble the young lady and the young master to take me in for a while. When I think of my life experience, I will definitely repay you well."
Chen Zhang sneered, "You really treat this place like an asylum. You cough every three steps and I don't know who will repay whom."
"Second brother." Chen Shuwei couldn't bear to listen any longer and called out in a low voice, "You are tired today too, go back and rest, leave this to me."
"Do you really want to keep him?" Shen Zhang looked at Shen Shuwei.
That gold ornament with an Epiphyllum flower was enough for Shen Shuwei to conclude that he came from a noble family. To avoid Shen Zhang making enemies with his mouth, Shen Shuwei quickly dragged him out and persuaded him to rest first, and then decide whether to keep this person after his elder brother and the others woke up tomorrow.
