Two days after vomiting blood, Xu was able to support himself again.

But in the end, she is an elderly person, and she vomits blood and gets angry one after another, which is also very hurtful, even if she can speak normally and her mind is sober, after all, it is still not as good as before. She looked a little worse than before, her face was pale and her lips were bloodless, and she spoke weakly, coughing a few times before she could finish her sentence. She spends most of the day in a coma. According to the Imperial Doctor, this is so that she can replenish her vitality a little.

Qin Zhonghai felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his mother's appearance. Even if he originally had many complaints about the Xu family, they had almost dissipated now. Mother was worried about the Xu family, but she didn't get the results she wanted, and even the Xu family was unwilling to accept her affection, so it can be said that her hard work in the past few decades has almost been in vain. For his failed and embarrassed mother, Qin Zhonghai felt that he didn't need to worry too much, but he was much more gentle with Xu, and often told his wife Yao in private, don't always say some annoying things to her mother-in-law, if you don't want to see her mother-in-law's happy appearance, I'd rather see her less, let the juniors come to Xu Shi more to say goodbye, and coax her to be happy.

Yao didn't think so, but after thinking about it, he felt that Xu's vomiting blood one after another and his condition worsened was not really a good thing. If she is just so angry that she feels uncomfortable, she is afraid that she will vomit and vomit, vomit all the blood, and once she dies, her husband and son will have to keep filial piety. Son Qin Jian is about to take the enke, and if he succeeds in high school, he will be elected as an official. At the beginning, it was because of Mrs. Xu's sudden illness that Xu Zheng had to miss the spring festival in order to keep filial piety, and he could only watch the children of the official family of the same age gain fame. Yao's absolutely couldn't allow his precious son to follow Xu Zheng's old path, although he was unwilling in his heart, he still restrained his mean attitude towards his mother-in-law Xu. I'd rather be out of sight than be angry.

I don't know if it's because the Yao family didn't make trouble anymore, or because the filial piety of the grandchildren really made the Xu family happy, and her condition slowly stabilized. It's not getting better, but at least it's not getting any worse. But her mood was always depressed. The nephews and nephews in Xu's family's room suddenly seemed to have a backbone in the back of their heads, and they no longer listened to her teachings, and even Xu Zheng and Xu Xiu did not come to greet her again, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't believe that she was really abandoned by her younger relatives in her mother's family. She has done so much for the Xu family and sacrificed so much, how could they abandon her?!

When Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan came to visit her together, Xu secretly pulled Yu Xinlan's sleeve and whispered to the eldest granddaughter-in-law: "Good boy, you also know my nephew's daughter Sister Xiu'er, right? I don't know what day it is?"

Yu Xinlan looked at the back of her husband Qin Jian, who had just walked out of the warm pavilion, and replied quietly: "Yes, if you go back to your grandmother, the marriage date between the second son of the Gui family and the eldest girl Xu seems to be in mid-February, after the birthday of the hundred flowers." ”

Xu Shi was stunned: "How can you be so anxious? It was the spring at that time, right? Maybe even Brother Zheng is inconvenient to marry his sister." ”

Yu Xinlan smiled and said: "Grandmother don't worry, it's cold in the first month of this year, and there have been several heavy snowfalls. According to the people of the Qin Heavenly Prison, there may be heavy snow in early February. The imperial court was worried that if there was a heavy snowfall, the examination might not be able to stand it, and if there was a good one, wouldn't it be a good thing to live up to the goodwill of the new monarch to open Enke, benefit the world's talents, and select talents? Therefore, the date of this examination was postponed to the end of February, half a month later than in previous years, but it was just right for Xu Dagongzi to catch up with his sister's wedding. ”

When Xu Shi heard this, she was a little relieved, but she was still not very satisfied with the Gui family's family business: "Even if the test date is postponed, the date set by the Gui family is too hasty." Where is this serious attitude towards being a parent? I clearly didn't take the Xu family to heart. Even if it's a remarriage, it's too much. Brother Zheng's parents were really confused, and they were looking forward to kissing and retreating in everything, but they made their in-laws look down on the Xu family. What good can this do to Sister Xiu'er? She has been married, and I am afraid that the hard days will still be long!"

Yu Xinlan didn't express any opinion on this, but said: "After the end of Enke, the new branch will be selected." The last batch of scholars in the Hanlin Academy need to be conferred by the dispersal of the museum. The second son of Gui was originally an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and although he has been staying in Beijing, it may be time for him to go out to practice, right? Even if he is sent out to the local government as an official, he also has his wife to accompany him to help with the chores around him. So...... It is normal for the Gui family to set the day in a hurry. ”

Xu suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot about this. Your father was originally from the Hanlin Academy, and there are many Shuji people in the clan, so it's no wonder that you are most familiar with these, and you thought of them when you thought about it. ”

Yu Xinlan smiled silently, and Xu sighed: "I said that this family business was set in a hurry, even if Sister Xiu'er successfully married into the Gui family, and then she would go abroad with her husband, God knows how many years she will have to be separated from her parents and relatives? ”

She took Yu Xinlan's hand and said, "Good boy, Sister Xiu'er is my own niece and granddaughter, and I grew up watching it since I was a child." When she gets married, she will be released with her husband, and I don't know when I will see her again. I am so sick now, and I want to drink her wine, but I must not be able to do it. Even if I wanted to go, your parents-in-law wouldn't agree. I wanted to see her before she got married and give her something to say. But your mother-in-law has never liked her family, and if I mentioned it to her, she would definitely not agree. Good boy, you should take pity on your mother-in-law and me, and help me give a message to Mrs. Xu's room! I just want to see Sister Xiu'er, and I won't do anything else. She sighed, "She is about to get married, and if I want to persuade me to choose another marriage, it will be just an anachronistic daydream, and it will not be possible to achieve it at all." I'm not stupid enough to be that stupid. ”

Yu Xinlan groaned slightly, and then said: "Grandmother, don't worry, just rest in peace." Although he did not explicitly say that it would be done, he did not refuse.

Xu Shi looked at Yu Xinlan with blank eyes: "Good boy, you will definitely bring someone to me, won't you?"

Yu Xinlan smiled, and suddenly said, "By the way, there is a happy event, Madame must not have heard of it, it is about the little aunt." ”

Xu didn't care about any happy events, but when he heard that it was about his own daughter Qin Youyi, he was immediately diverted: "What's the matter? Hasn't your little aunt been in Datong?" she frowned slightly, "Datong is also a border town, and now the border is at war, and I don't know if there is anything wrong with Datong." I heard that Xuanfu has already had a fight. ”

"Grandmother rest assured that everything is fine with my little aunt in Datong, and the war has not spread. Yu Xinlan said, "It's my aunt's husband, Uncle Su, who was transferred to Xuanfu at his own request and participated in the war, and I heard that he also made a big contribution." When the war is over, the court will reward meritorious deeds, and Uncle Su will definitely be promoted. ”

When Xu Shi heard this, he was really a little surprised: "Really? That's good." I don't hope for anything else, I just hope that the couple can return to Beijing for a reunion as soon as possible. In the evening, you ask Brother Jian to come back again, and I will send a letter to your little aunt, and ask her to find a way to persuade her husband to return to the capital as much as possible. With military merits, it is much easier for Su Zhongying to find a good errand in the capital. Now it is no better than before, our family has more in-laws of the Cai family, and some things that could not be done before can now be done. ”

Yu Xinlan didn't answer, and continued: "There is also Uncle Su's brother, General Su Boxiong, I heard that the southwest bandits have been pacified. Although there was a war in Liaodong at the moment, the imperial court paid slightly less attention to the southwest. But now that the official office of the imperial court has been opened, it must not be long before General Su will receive the will to return to the court. ”

Xu sighed: "If Su Boxiong can return to Beijing, it will be a help to Su Zhongying." He has been a lot of trouble with his brothers in the past few years, and I hope nothing will go wrong in the future!"

Yu Xinlan said some rumors about Su Boxiong's pacification of the southwest, but Xu didn't care very much. She had been talking to her grandchildren for a long time, and now she was tired and her eyelids were falling. Seeing this, Yu Xinlan stopped talking, signaled the two big girls Hongyan and Magpie to serve Xu's sleep, and she quietly retreated.

Qin Jian had been waiting outside the door for an unknown amount of time. When he saw his wife, he sighed, took Yu Xinlan's hand and walked out together, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work." Grandmother was so stubborn that I didn't know what to do. ”

Yu Xinlan smiled and said: "Fortunately, I have just met the people sent by my mother's family to deliver things, and I heard them talk about the latest news in the court, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to deal with my grandmother with the Su family's affairs." ”

Qin Jian said in a deep voice: "You didn't tell your grandmother that Zhenxi Hou's condition worsened, so it's fine." The grandmother also happily thought about letting the little uncle and aunt return to Beijing with merit, but she didn't know that the little aunt's family would be able to return to Beijing soon, but not because of high promotion, but because of filial piety. ”

The meritorious service of the Su brothers is actually a meritorious service in essence. As soon as this credit was established, the Su family's shackles were gone, and Zhenxihou had no need to live anymore. Su Boxiong can directly dismiss his military post and go home to keep filial piety, no matter who can pick on him. When their brother's three-year filial piety period is over, what the future will be depends on their creation. For the Su family, this is both a happy event and a funeral, and there is nothing to be happy about.

Yu Xinlan smiled slightly: "It's always a good thing to be able to reunite with your family." He asked Qin Jian again, "Grandmother wants to see Miss Xu, and Xianggong thinks it's ......."

Qin Jian sighed: "Just let her see it." Now that she can't control anything, why not make her feel better?"
