Chapter 390: The younger brother who has changed his mood
Master Xu looked at him very sadly, "I have always felt that you are the most sensible, I am old, I originally wanted you to inherit my mantle, but I didn't expect you to expose your true nature!"
"Father, I'm not what you think!" Xu Qingliu knew that his father had misunderstood him, but now he couldn't argue, and Master Xu couldn't listen to him at all.
He knelt on the ground and begged his father not to interfere in his marriage, but he didn't expect that the more he was like this, the more angry Master Xu became. The housekeeper helped the old man back to rest, he was still kneeling in front of the pavilion, suddenly the dark clouds rolled, and it rained heavily, so that the cold weather and the cold and biting rain would only make his body unbearable. The butler persuaded him a few words, and he kept talking. The rain soaked his clothes, and his body was already shaking slightly.
Suddenly the rain stopped, he slowly raised his head, only to realize that it was not the rain that had stopped, and Xu Qinghe didn't know when he was already standing behind him, holding an umbrella for him. "Brother, go back, my father is angry, it's useless for you to kneel. Xu Qinghe couldn't bear him to get wet in the rain here, but his father didn't forgive him, so why did his brother torture himself.
"Go back and leave me alone. "He doesn't want to go back, he can't marry Guo Duo.
"Brother, don't be stubborn, you will only make my father more angry. Xu Qinghe didn't talk so much nonsense, he directly dragged him up, Xu Qingliu suddenly fell unconscious in front of him, and before he fainted, he heard his younger brother calling for the housekeeper.
In the room, Xu Qingliu was lying on the bed, closing his eyes tightly. Xu Qinghe retreated softly and instructed the housekeeper: "My brother's body doctor has already seen it, don't tell your father about him fainting in the rain in the pavilion." ”
The housekeeper hesitated, and it seemed a little inappropriate for the eldest young master not to tell the master in order to pray for the lord's forgiveness for kneeling until he fainted. Xu Qinghe's eyes suddenly became cold, he stared at the housekeeper, and said coldly: "My father's body has just recovered, and he can't stand my brother's illness, so I asked you not to tell him, understand?"
Suddenly shocked by the eyes of the second young master, the housekeeper immediately bowed his head and said a statement, the second young master usually hangs his son, and he looks a little serious at this time. I saw that the housekeeper had become well-behaved. The hippie smile on Xu Qinghe's face returned, and he patted the butler on the shoulder and asked him to go about what he should be busy with.
Xu Qingliu, who woke up with a cough, was weak, so he had to call someone, the door was pushed open, and Xu Qinghe hurriedly came in.
"Why are you, those subordinates?" he frowned suspiciously when he saw that it was his younger brother.
"I personally saw you faint in front of me, and if I don't take care of you for two days, I will be a brother in vain!"
"Help me up. Xu Qingliu supported his body to stand up, Xu Qinghe immediately pressed him on the bed, "What are you doing, you have to go out for a walk before your body is well." "I like to move more than him, but my body doesn't have that strength.
"My father's daily tonic is made by me, and I have to hurry to this point, otherwise it will be delayed. Xu Qingliu coughed a few times and said.
The younger brother couldn't stand it anymore, "Come on, your current body will be infected to your father, anyway, I am also my father's son, give me the tonic prescription, and I'll make it for you." ”
Xu Qingliu didn't believe this younger brother a little, he didn't have a proper line on weekdays, and he couldn't stay in the house for a second, so he offered to decoct medicine for his father and let him
"I don't worry about you boiling medicine. Xu Qingliu still insisted on boiling the medicine himself, Xu Qinghe was already tired, pressed him on the bed, and said seriously: "Brother, my father's body has not healed, you boil the medicine and cough, what should I do if I infect my father?"
What he said made sense, his father's health was weak, Xu Qingliu was sick again, and the process of boiling medicine for his father was likely to infect him with his disease. Seeing his younger brother's sincere gaze, he nodded and handed over the matter to Xu Qinghe.
After taking the recipe for boiling the medicine, Xu Qinghe began to boil it non-stop, this big tonic was much more difficult than he imagined, he was stunned that he hadn't boiled it for a long time and hadn't done it well, and finally got a disgraced face, and hurriedly sent the medicinal soup to his father.
When Master Xu saw his youngest son's appearance, he couldn't cry or laugh: "What's the matter with you?" He was dirty, like a beggar, but fortunately he was dressed in good gear, otherwise the subordinates in the house would have to drive him out as a flower child.
Xu Qinghe raised the bathhouse in fear and explained: "Father...... This is the decoction I made for you, drink it quickly, it's good for your health. ”
The usually stubborn youngest son turned out to be so embarrassed because he wrote about boiling medicine for himself, and Master Xu was moved. Before, Xu Qingliu boiled medicine for his father and asked his subordinates to send it, so Xu Lao didn't know that the previous medicinal soup was made by the eldest son, but now a Xu Qinghe suddenly broke out, but it made him mistakenly think that he had been boiling medicine for himself, and it was the younger son who was filial to himself. The housekeeper knows everything, but he can't explain anything, on the one hand, the eldest young master has always kept the medicine secret, and on the other hand, the young master does not allow the housekeeper to mention the matter of the eldest young master's illness.
Xu Lao's eyes were slightly red with emotion, and he hurriedly asked him to get up with a smile: "Okay, Qinghe, you have grown up and know that you are filial to your father, unlike your brother, the more you grow up, the more ignorant you become." "Just in the matter of children's affection, I go against myself in every way, and my stubborn temper makes people helpless.
Hearing his father say brother, Xu Qinghe got up, slowly handed the decoction to his father, and then turned behind him to give him a meticulous massage, and Master Xu enjoyed it with a face. "Father, you don't have to blame my brother, my brother is just careful, he is too emotional, so he is against you because of a woman, but he definitely didn't mean it. He said casually in his father's ear, but it provoked Master Xu's anger, thinking about it, Qingliu's child was angry with him because of women, could it be that those women were more important than his father?
"It's okay if you don't say it, but as soon as you say it, I get even more angry, and I still come to confess my mistakes, and I don't know where to hide. "It's just that Master Xu doesn't know that Xu Qingliu has been kneeling in the cold rain for a long time, and now he is sick, it was Xu Qinghe who didn't let the housekeeper notify, and it was Xu Qinghe who told him to rest and not run around.
Seeing that his father was even more angry, Xu Qinghe closed his mouth, wanting to say good things for his brother, but he didn't want to be stupid and confused.
After drinking the warm and baking decoction, Master Xu was in a good mood, took Xu Qinghe's hand and said: "In the future, you will inherit my mantle and manage the entire Xu Mansion well. ”
The housekeeper stood aside, and suddenly his face froze, the master has always favored the eldest young master, according to the orderly choice of the eldest and youngest, the one who can replace the master is also the elder brother Xu Qingliu, but now he has angered the master, and the timely appearance of the little young master has also added a good impression to him, since it is the master's speech, he can't refute it, in case Xu Qinghe really masters the Xu Mansion in the end, his current refutation may be the future challenge of the head of the family, he is just a subordinate to learn to see the wind and steer.
"No, father...... My brother would be sad if he knew that you were going to train me to succeed you. "My brother has always been the successor in everyone's hearts, he is usually romantic, and his reputation among outsiders has always been bad.
"Hmph, he's not a filial son, if only he would be sad!" Master Xu doesn't want to mention him now, now that Qinghe is sensible, he can also be entrusted. The butler stood aside and watched, not daring to say a word, what could he say.
After two days, Xu Qingliu's health had improved a lot, and when he went to see his father again, he avoided him and asked the housekeeper to tell him that he was not feeling well and didn't want to see anyone.
"Housekeeper, how is my father's health?" He really thought that his father was sick and didn't want to see anyone, the housekeeper knew that he was kind, but he was afraid of the second young master, so he just nodded: "It's okay, don't worry, master, he is nothing serious." ”
"That's good. Before his father's anger subsided, he probably didn't want to see himself, Xu Qingliu thought about not bothering him again, but when he saw Xu Qinghe coming, he stopped him and said, "You don't have to go, my father is not feeling well and no one is gone." ”
