Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

Ever since Xu Yanlin had become's neighbor, Xu Yanlin had been bringing his new daughter-in-law to the Mu Family every day. Every day, they would eat three meals a day at the Mu Family to settle things.    

Who was his family? He really wanted to drag this white-eyed fella out and throw him away.    

Every time Shen Jingli saw his complacent and complacent look, he would immediately want Wei Zuo to knock him out, then drag him out and throw him away. He didn't understand how that tall and deep, beautiful man would become Xu Yanlin's friend. And she was even praising him?    

Could it be that his IQ was low, and he could not see through Xu Yanlin's strengths? Shen Jingli shook his head, refusing to admit it.    

Because they had traveled a lot, Shen Jingli's and Zhao Wenrui's friendship had also grown. The two of them had almost become good friends.    

"Xun Er looks a little taller. Zhao Wenrui hugged the still chubby Xun Er, his eyes filled with unconcealable envy. He rubbed his stomach, not knowing when he would be able to get pregnant.    

He was already twenty-two years old, and everyone else at his age knew how to run and dance.    

"He ate well and slept well. His days were so comfortable, so naturally, he grew up quickly." Third Old Master Mu and the Old Granny doted on him, and the Old Master of the Yang Family and the Old Granny doted on him. The rest of the uncles also doted on him, and treated him like a little emperor.    

"Xun Er is very cute, everyone will naturally spoil him." Zhao Wenrui caressed Xun Er's fair face, the more he looked the cuter he got, and said to Shen Jingli: "If I have a couple in the future, can I marry your family?"    

It was not easy for twins to have daughters, but it was usually a matter of males and twins.    

Is this a baby marriage?    

Shen Jingli almost spat out water. He stared at Zhao Wenrui and realised that he was serious, the way he looked at his son slowly turned into the way his mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law. This was rather annoying.    

A typical example of someone who was not as close to a baby was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Chen A-Jiao. He didn't want his son to resent him when he grew up and then mess with him until there was no peace in his family.    

Zhao Wenrui thought about it, nodded his head and did not bring up the matter, but in his heart, he still hoped that the two families could become relatives.    

"Madam, the Second Madam wishes to see you." Jin Yu came in from outside and reported to Shen Jingli obediently.    

After Yang Ningxin's dim sum shop opened, Lee Qi went to the dim sum shop to help. Shen Jingli only had Nanny Jin by his side to serve him personally, but when Third Old Lady Mu saw that he could use her strong men, she sent a maidservant and a Gemini to serve him personally. The maidservant was called Jin Yu, and the Gemini was called Nian Hua.    

"Which second wife?" There seemed to be a lot of second placed wives, but only a few would come looking for him.    

"It's the second wife of Western Mu Mansion."    

Oh, that one. Shen Jingli was a little surprised. He should not have any relationship with that madam, why would she come over to look for him?    

"Bring her in." He really wanted to see what that Second Madam wanted to be.    

After a while, Jin Yu led the Madam Jiang in. This time, the Madam Jiang did not bring her daughter, but brought another young lady, who was around twenty years old.    

Madam Jiang still had a personality that she could not control. Upon seeing her, she immediately shouted at Shen Jingli: "Wifey Zi An, you sure are free, to meet guests at home all day."    

Shen Jingli wanted to hit his a little. He was now a family member of the Inner Mansion, so he could not go out easily. Otherwise, people would gossip about him. The Madam Jiang's words made people uncomfortable.    

Zhao Wenrui who was at the side could not help but frown, what exactly was he trying to mock?    

Shen Jingli did not pay attention to her and instead ordered Jin Yu to serve tea. Madam Jiang then brought her niece and casually sat down, saying: "Zi An's daughter-in-law, this is my niece, Feng Qingrou, Feng Qingrou, call for help."    

"Brother Jinglee." Feng Qingrou feigned shyness as she shouted.    

"I'm not your brother, so don't shout." Shen Jingli felt that Madam Jiang's thoughts were too straightforward. He was her niece, so he should at least call Mu Chen his cousin, and call him her sister-in-law, just like Mu Siqing.    

"We'll be family from now on, no matter how much you shout it will be the same." The Madam Jiang self-righteously waved the handkerchief in her hand, and looked around him. The Mu Family s were well-arranged, and even the furniture in the side hall was made of fine red wood, with exquisite carvings, especially the frame placed at the side of the back door that had the function of a screen. Shen Jingli had meticulously designed it, and there were even a few carvings and crafts displayed on it.    

Great Yan Dynasty and carving technique were not mature, and delicate and beautiful carving techniques could not be seen. Madam Jiang's eyes shone upon seeing the bright red flower bird earring bottle, such a beautiful bottle should be placed in her room.    

"These words are really funny. Miss Feng is a member of the Feng Family, and County Prince is a member of the Mu Family. How can the two be family?" Zhao Wenrui almost burst into laughter upon hearing Madam Jiang's words. This lady was truly a weirdo, she was exactly the same as Xu Yanlin's aunt.    

"After a warm day, you will have to marry into the Mu Family. Of course it's a family."    

"Oh, sister, which young master of Mu Family are you betrothed to?" Shen Jingli really wanted to laugh. What kind of brain was this Madam Jiang had, why did she think that just because she pushed a woman over, Mu Chen would accept it?    

"What are you asking?" "Of course you have to marry Zi An. In the future, you will all be one family, and our family will be warm and well-bred, and will definitely be able to help Zi An grow some leaves. Even if you can't have children, it doesn't matter."    

Zhao Wenrui was dumbstruck. The Madam Jiang was much more powerful than Xu Yanlin's aunt, and the reason why Xu Yanlin's aunt wanted to marry his daughter was so that he could say bad things about him in front of the Mrs Xu. But this Madam Jiang, in front of Shen Jingli, actually dared to say that he couldn't live? This was no ordinary brainless act.    

"Fourth Aunt, you can't say those words randomly. Otherwise, it will ruin your cousin's reputation. In the future, it won't be good to say marriage." What kind of trash would want to put in their house? Do you think their family collects trash?    

Madam Jiang was furious when she heard that, "What do you mean? It is already good that someone is willing to marry Zi An. And you dare to say that our family's reputation is not good, our family's warm is one of the most talented girls in the capital, and those who come to propose marriage are all about to break the family's threshold. "    

There were so many people who had come to ask for marriage, yet they still came to be their concubines. It was either mental illness or a loss in character. After all, being a concubine was not as strict as being a legal wife.    

"If that's the case, then I hope that cousin Warmth can find a golden turtle husband soon. Our Mu Family Temple cannot tolerate a buddha like her." It was completely baffling.    

"You … You don't know what's good for you. " Madam Jiang was so angry that her chest was blocked, she almost fainted.    

Shen Jingli could not be bothered with her and quickly asked Jin Yu and the young girl to send them off. He also told Jin Yu to tell the gatekeeper that if she ever met the Madam Jiang in the future, she should just directly send them off and not provoke this kind of weirdo.    

After sending off the Madam Jiang, Shen Jingli said to Jin Yu: "Jin Yu, go to the Western Mu Mansion at the prime of your life, and inform the Third Old Lady of today's matter."    

They could not allow the Madam Jiang to run out and become a demon. They had completely lost face for their Mu Family.    

"It's not easy for you either." Zhao Wenrui poured a cup of tea for Shen Jingli, feeling that the two of them were really in the same boat.    

Shen Jingli revealed an expression that was hard to describe. Some of the women in the backyard were too idle, having nothing to do all day, and were all thinking about how to be a demon.    

That night, he called Second Master and Madam Jiang back to his house. On the second day, he told Shen Jingli that Madam Jiang was forbidden from copying scriptures at home for a month, and Third Old Lady had even said that if she still dared to be a demon, he would let her son divorce her. Otherwise, he would send her to the temple to eat and pray for the Mu Family, which would naturally scare her half to death, and obediently stay home to copy scriptures.    

— —    

At the beginning of April, the emperor gave an order for Mu Chen to carry the burden of being a roaming general. He travelled back and forth between the capital and the imperial forest army camp 50 miles away, taking charge of training the troops.    

Not long after the two of them took office, the spa hotel on the Violet Bamboo Mountain was completed. Shen Jingli invited Zhao Wenrui to go take a look, the scenery was extremely beautiful on the riverside in the Violet Bamboo Mountain, and there was even a Plum Forest on the mountain. When spring arrived, the Plum Flower bloomed, and the scenery was also very pleasing to the eyes.    

When you opened the window, you would be able to see the scenery along the river and across the river. On rainy days, when clouds and mist shrouded the sky, it was a completely different story, there were professional cooks, professional singers, and even a first-rate health medicine restaurant, inside it, there was even a fine jewelry, exquisite carving technique, and even a fine perfume, as well as a bag that Yang Ningxiu brought back with him from the Western Regions. I heard that there would even be spices and cloths that came back later … Some of the ladies, just listening, were very excited.    

Shen Jingli and Zhao Wenrui went to enjoy it before opening for business. There was a hot spring, massage, zither music and a storybook, there were even several activities set up inside, one of them was to play with leaves, the other was to play a drama. The two of them played it from the beginning, and did not think much of it.    

On the day of the opening of the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, had specially reserved a room for Old Lady Yang and Third Old Lady Mu. Xu Yanlin had also allowed his old mistress to come over to have fun and play, while the three of them got along easily.    

The business in the Purple Bamboo Association was very good, the women in the capital must have been bored for too long. The money needed to be spent was not soft, and 20 taels of silver a day was nothing for the rich wife.    

Therefore, everyone in the capital knew that there was a spa on the west side of the city, and every day, servants would go to the spa to set a date for their wives. The most generous one was the Cha family, one of the four royal merchants of the capital, who had the highest reputation for being filial piety. Old Mrs. Cha came back with endless praises, soaking in hot springs, massaging, and playing music.    

Shen Jingli was so happy that he almost couldn't find the right place to go. It had just started not long ago, and there was already a tycoon spending seven thousand silver for the whole year, it could only be said that there were way too many tycoons in the capital, there wasn't the slightest bit of money in the city at all. There were always people queuing up for the advertisements, even people who were jealous and wanted to learn the Purple Bamboo Pavilion.    

Everyone had a competitive spirit, especially the rich wives. Even the merchants' wives had been there before, not to mention the grandma, who had never been there before. If not, when people talked about it, they would say that it was good, only they had never been there, which was quite embarrassing. It was not like they couldn't afford to spend twenty taels of silver on it.    

Afterwards, the Grand Princess's fat and round, unassuming little girl lost a bit more weight, his skin was a bit whiter, and the Prince Consort was very happy. With a wave of his hand, he rented a room, and in short, the Hot Spring Hall's business was flourishing.
