[Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Prime Minister Shen’s Decision]
"Go back to your room and stay here quietly. Go on duty tomorrow morning as usual." Prime Minister Shen instructed his second son.
Then he looked at his eldest son who had just come in with an oil lamp and said, "Is the carriage ready? Let's set off now!"
"It's ready. I've asked them to wait at the back door." Shen Junyuan said.
He put the oil lamp on the table and immediately helped to clean up.
The old lady stopped him and said, "You change your clothes. I'll come here. Be careful on the road."
Shen Junyuan agreed and quickly left the house.
Shen Junshan looked at this, then looked at that, his eyes confused.
He had no idea what his father and elder brother were going to do.
He looked at his mother and asked inquiringly, "Mother?"
But Madam Shen ignored him completely.
She personally put the medicines and prescriptions on the table, as well as the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" sent by Shen Yuyao and others, carefully put them into suitable boxes, and then personally handed them to her husband who had just changed his clothes.
Prime Minister Shen took the box, hummed, and left in a hurry without explaining anything to his two sons.
After Prime Minister Shen left, the old lady returned to her bedroom.
The second and third children, who were abandoned by their parents, could only leave in embarrassment and return to their respective courtyards together.
Shen Junshan couldn't hold it in any longer, and said to Shen Junlin: "Third brother, where do you think father has gone? Brothers in the camp..."
"Father told us to go back to sleep, so we should go back to sleep and don't worry about anything else. Otherwise, if he finds out, he will definitely get angry." Shen Junlin interrupted his second brother's nagging.
Seeing that Shen Junshan was going to say more, he sighed and asked, “Second brother, do you think you are smarter than father?”
"No." Shen Junshan still had some self-awareness.
"Do you think he is as worried about this epidemic as you are?"
"No." Shen Junshan said this sincerely.
He was worried about the epidemic in the military camp outside the city, partly because of his duty.
Secondly, after going to see them, I saw many brothers who used to have a good relationship with me suffering from illness, and I felt empathy.
But Shen Junshan also knew that as the prime minister of Wushuang Country, his father must have thought about much more than himself, and the pressure in his heart was much greater.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have spent the entire afternoon at home waiting for his sister's reply.
By this time, the news of the epidemic had already spread in the palace, and people must have been in panic everywhere.
If this situation had happened in the past, he would have definitely stayed in the palace to stabilize people's hearts.
"So," Shen Junlin spread his hands, "What are you worried about? Are you worried that father won't be able to handle this matter well, or are you worried that father won't use the medicine on the soldiers?"
"Of course not! Why would I miss my father so much!" Shen Junshan frowned.
But Shen Junlin ignored his temper and said directly: “Then be obedient and go back to sleep.”
He yawned and said, "I've been on tenterhooks all day. I'm sleepy."
After saying that, he walked straight towards his own courtyard.
Looking at his back, Shen Junshan snorted and turned onto another road.
After he walked away, Shen Junlin looked towards the back door of his house, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
His second brother is a straightforward person, and whatever he thinks shows immediately on his face.
Therefore, whenever there is something complicated or a test of one's character at home, they would subconsciously not let the second brother participate.
Just like this time, even if his father and eldest brother didn't say it, Shen Junlin guessed where they were going at the moment.
They must have gone to the Taoist temple outside the city. They should have gone to their second uncle to seek help.
The Shen family is one of the largest clans in the country. After many generations of operation, it can be said that the family is wealthy and has many descendants.
It's a pity that by the time of Prime Minister Shen's generation, the prosperous ones had become side branches, and their family, as the main branch, only had two brothers and a sister.
My sister got married a long time ago and now lives with her husband in another place. She hasn't returned for many years.
As the eldest brother, Prime Minister Shen really played the role of the pillar of the entire family and the Zhenhai Needle.
But his second brother, Shen Zhiyi, had been lazy since childhood and had absolutely no interest in fame and official career.
After he got married and had two sons, he felt that he had fulfilled his mission, so he went to the mountains to become a Taoist priest.
He left his home, his wife, and his son behind.
Now, almost twenty years have passed.
The Xuantong Temple where he was had now become the most famous Taoist temple in the capital.
As for himself, the name of Taoist Xuanling is even more famous and he is respected by many believers.
Prime Minister Shen has always been a low-key person.
As his brother's fame grew, he gradually stopped associating with him.
In the past, he would go to the mountains once or twice a year to visit his brother and talk to him.
Haven't been there for several years now.
But Shen Junlin knew that his father did this for others to see.
In fact, his relationship with his second uncle is still very good!
With such a big thing happening at home, it was understandable that my father went to discuss it with my second uncle.
Just as Shen Junlin expected, at this moment, Prime Minister Shen was sitting in a carriage with his eldest son on the way to Xuantong Temple.
Under the light of a dim oil lamp, Prime Minister Shen flipped through the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" which he had not had time to read before.
The more you look, the brighter your eyes become, and the more amazing it becomes!
"It's a divine book, it's really a divine book!" He couldn't help but applaud.
Shen Junyuan, who was sitting opposite Shen Cheng, was looking through the medicines.
Looking at the full box of medicine, he felt very complicated.
One reason is gratitude to my sister and brother-in-law.
But at the same time, his heart became very heavy.
He felt that his family was now walking on a single-plank bridge without realizing it.
If we keep going forward, the road ahead may be smooth.
But under the feet, there is a bottomless abyss!
He couldn't help but think of what his father had said to him in the afternoon. He felt a little bit of anticipation for what was about to happen, but also a little bit of nervousness.
Shen Junyuan didn't know what would be waiting for their family tomorrow?
But he also knew that his father was right. Now that things had developed to this point, there was no turning back.
In that case, let’s charge forward!
Shen Junyuan believed that with his father's wisdom, his second uncle's reputation, and the emperor's clarity of mind, the road ahead would be smooth!
