Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

General Ling Hui has been gone for a long time, but what he said still rings in my ears.

In the room, Shen Nanshan was gloomy and sighed from time to time. At this time, he was in a complicated mood and felt overwhelmed by the sudden knowledge of his life experience.

Yao Shu poured a cup of fragrant tea and handed it over, and said comfortingly: "The matter is now over, so there is no need to be too worried. Isn't the matter not confirmed yet?"

Shen Nanshan frowned, and when he took the tea cup, he accidentally dropped it on the ground. It could be seen that he was restless at this time, and even his hands could not help but tremble slightly.

The maid outside the house heard the sound of the tea cup breaking and hurried to the door to ask. Yao Shu just said "nothing" and sent them away. She also specifically explained that no one could do anything without her instructions. Come in and disturb me.

She knew very well that it was not appropriate to make the matter public at this time, lest everyone in the Shen family talk about it and make Shen Nanshan even more upset. At the same time, once the matter was spread, it would also cause unnecessary trouble.

"Oh, I didn't expect that at this age, there would be such incidents. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. I would rather live a peaceful life in Zhangzhou City."

Yao Shu smiled and said, "Who doesn't want you to live such a stable life? Don't think too much. Let's take a step back and say that Marquis Ningyuan is really your flesh and blood brother. The worst he can do is accept this family, and he is nothing more than a rich man. relative."

"Both of you brothers have already married and established a career. Your parents have passed away, and you have children and grandchildren. It's not like you want to live together. At most, you should be more polite during the holidays. The capital is so far away from Zhangzhou, so how can you cause trouble?"

Shen Nanshan frowned slightly. Indeed, Yao Shu's words made sense. The two brothers were so far apart. He would definitely not go to live in the capital anyway. Whether there were so many relatives or not, it seemed that it did not matter. Doesn't hinder anything.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanshan's heavy mood improved a lot, but Marquis Ningyuan was already on his way to Zhangzhou to recognize his relatives. No one knew what would happen when he arrived.

He couldn't help but imagine in his mind that if he was really the younger brother of Marquis Ningyuan, if he had not been lost, would he have been living a life of food and clothing in the Marquis' mansion and become a rich young man envied by the world?

Those sufferings he had suffered, the moments of life and death, would never have happened at all. If he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have missed a lot.

But by the same token, he would never have met Yao Shu, nor would he have the family he has now. Things in the world are impermanent, and whatever you give up comes with something. These disturbing questions always flashed through Shen Nanshan's mind over and over again. , leaving him wondering how to deal with himself.

Shen Nanshan was silent for the whole afternoon, and his abnormal behavior also aroused the curiosity of everyone in the house. Due to the uninvited appearance of General Ling Hui, it was difficult for people not to associate these two things.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Qiu couldn't help but ask about today's events. Although he was well-informed in the army, the general's visit to the Shen family this time was obviously not for official business.

"I really can't guess that the general doesn't have much personal connections with our Shen family. What could possibly cause him to mobilize so many people to visit us in person?"

Shen Nanshan remained silent, as if he didn't hear Shen Qiu's words at all. There was no shortage of rice in his bowl, and he was completely in a state of wandering.

Zhao continued: "Recently, this general seems to be particularly concerned about us, and I don't know what his purpose is, which makes people feel a little panicked."

Yao Shu coughed slightly and looked around, "The radish sold at Zhangjia Shop in the east of the city is the most delicious. It is as green as jade. It is crispy and sweet when you bite it, and it is moist and juicy. Change I'll ask my servants to buy some more tomorrow, and they can be fried or made into soup. If you don't finish it, you can pickle it so it won't be wasted."

Mrs. Qiao didn't seem to understand the true intention of Yao Shu's words. In fact, she was changing the subject. She nodded repeatedly, saying that the radishes at Zhangjia Shop were indeed delicious and cheap.

Shen Qiu was a little depressed. He noticed that his parents' behavior today was probably related to the fact that the general came to the house, but why were they unwilling to tell the truth?

Could it be that the Shen family is in big trouble?

He failed to ask the reason, but instead had various doubts in his heart. He felt that as the eldest son, he should ask clearly, so he thought about how to ask.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the door. The maid who was waiting in Fang's room hurried over and accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

She ignored the pain and shouted in a panic: "It's not good, young master... young master, he can't breathe!"

"What did you say?"

Yao Shu immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and rushed straight to Fang's house. An Ge'er was now the heart and soul of their Shen family, and he was spoiled to the point of being a baby. No matter what, nothing could happen to him!

When Yao Shu arrived as quickly as possible, she saw Fang, a first-time mother, holding An Ge'er in her arms at a loss, with big tears on her pale face.

"What's going on? Why can't the child breathe?"

When Mrs. Fang saw Yao Shu coming, she quickly said: "I was feeding the baby just now, but for some reason he choked a few mouthfuls, and then he wheezed like he couldn't breathe!"

Yao Shu took the child from Fang's hand. She found that An Ge'er's face was red from holding back and his two little hands were hanging weakly, so she quickly turned the child over and inserted her left hand between the child's legs. Then, gently lift the body, half-clench your right hand into a fist and pat the child's back.

After a dozen consecutive slaps, An Geer finally spat out the milk, started breathing heavily, and his face gradually recovered.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fang slumped aside and finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Yao Shu hadn't arrived in time, she wouldn't have known what she would have done?

If An Geer made any mistake, she would not only feel sorry for herself, but also the entire Shen family. At that time, she would have no choice but to follow her child into a well, and there would be no chance of seeing her family.

Yao Shu handed An Ge'er to the maid to comfort her, and then said to Fang, "You have just become a mother, and you have to learn some things slowly, little by little. It doesn't matter."

"I...I..." Fang had mixed feelings. She originally thought she would be scolded by Yao Shu. After all, this was the only heir of the Shen family, but she didn't expect that Yao Shu would not do anything. The meaning of blaming made her feel deeply moved.

On the other side, because of An Geer's accident, Shen Qiu's questioning was put to rest, and Yao Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
