Master Xu's condition suddenly worsened, causing the whole family room to fall into a panic.

If nothing else, just because Mrs. Xu died suddenly, Uncle Xu was worried, and Xu Zheng had to give up a subject exam, and the whole family closed the door to guard filial piety, missed many good opportunities for development, and gradually became a third-rate family in the capital.

Now if Master Xu has another accident, not to mention that Uncle Xu, who is planning to recover, needs to worry again, even Xu Zheng no longer has to worry about whether to participate in the palace examination, he will directly lose the opportunity to take the palace examination, and return to the previous state of studying behind closed doors and cutting off contact with the outside world.

The most terrible thing is that if Master Xu is safe and sound before the palace examination, and when Xu Zheng finishes the palace examination, then even if he can turn over during the palace examination, jump to the top position of the second grade, and even successfully pass the Shujishi examination and enter the Hanlin Academy, the splendid future has nothing to do with him. Because he had to give up this honor and obediently go home to keep his filial piety.

What should I do? In front of everyone in the Xu family's room, it is a question that is difficult to decide.

Master Xu was seriously ill, barely maintaining a trace of clarity, vomiting blood, and at the same time pulling his throat to make a decision for his grandson: "Go down...... Read more...... Two years...... Definitely...... Better ......"

Xu Zheng tearfully agreed to his grandfather's request. Although Uncle Xu felt that it was too difficult for him to support the lintel alone, but at present, with all kinds of changes in the situation, it was indeed better to give up this palace test, which was more beneficial to Xu Zheng, and coupled with his father's instructions to vomit blood, he could only agree.

may be because Xu Zheng decided to give up this scientific palace test, which calmed down Master Xu's mood, and he seemed to have stabilized a lot after that, and he did not vomit blood anymore, and there were no obvious symptoms. Uncle Xu couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, thinking that his son gave up this year's palace examination in order to get better results in the next subject, but he may not need to give up recovery, because his father's condition seems to be improving a little, maybe he will slowly get better?

In order to prevent the news of his father's serious illness from spreading and affecting his recovery plan, Uncle Xu deliberately blocked the news from the outside world, and at the same time quietly sent a message to his eldest daughter, urging her to find another way, so that the Gui family could find a good official position for him as soon as possible, even if it was released. But the key point is that if it is released, it is best to have this official position two levels higher than the position before his Ding Wei.

Uncle Xu also knows in his heart that his father's illness will last for a few years, even if this year passes, the day when he worries about his father will not be too far away, and when the time comes, he will take a three-year break, plus the time to seek recovery, I don't know how long it will be delayed. His current official rank is not high, if so many years have passed, even if he can stay in Beijing to improve his qualifications, his future future will not be very good. The son will have to wait at least another two years before he can officially enter the official career, and the Xu family's room is now supported by him alone, if the official function is higher, then the whole family can be a little more decent in front of outsiders. Moreover, if he is worried about Ding Wei with a relatively high rank, and then seeks a position of the same rank in Beijing through the relationship between the Gui family or the Chengenhou Mansion after his recovery, it will be tantamount to a disguised promotion, and he will not suffer a loss. If he hadn't been in such an embarrassing situation, he would never have considered an external appointment. But sometimes you need to be flexible.

During that time, the Xu family's room has been very quiet and low-key, and the family members hardly go out as guests, only the eldest daughter Xu Xiu, who once went back to her parents' house in order to visit her grandfather's illness, but she came back to the province alone with her subordinates, and her husband Gui's second son was not accompanied, so the matter of Master Xu's illness did not reach the ears of the Gui family. In the face of her father's request, Xu Xiu seemed to be embarrassed, and she didn't know if she had helped, but the Gui family still didn't give an answer, and it is estimated that even if she did, it would not have much effect, right?

Qin Hanzhen listened to the grandmother Niu's narration, and was also very surprised: "These things were all inquired about by the second uncle? Didn't it mean that the Xu family's room had been hidden from the outside world, and even the in-laws of the Gui family didn't know about it? Where did she go to inquire? Could it be that someone who bought the Xu family's room? Or did the eldest uncle and grandmother hear the news and leak it to the second uncle's ears?"

Niu said: "I can't tell how your second uncle got the news." However, your aunt doesn't seem to know the news of her brother's illness, and I'm afraid that the people in the Xu family's room will even hide it from your aunt. That's why I said, your second aunt is a powerful person, and she can't hide anything from her! She has long hated Xu's family room, and she doesn't know how many eyes and ears have been planted in it, and she even asked her to inquire about this kind of confidential matter, and she still talked about it everywhere at home!"

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but sigh twice, and hurriedly said: "Since the second aunt has no scruples at home, hasn't the eldest uncle and grandmother heard about it at all......?

"Your second uncle didn't say much about her, but she couldn't help it!" Niu sighed, "That's why I said that mother-in-law can't go too far, treat her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren too harshly, and meet those who are particularly stingy and hold grudges, some of them will suffer! If it weren't for Xu Zheng and Xu Xiu's family affairs, your uncle and grandmother bullied their grandchildren too much, and your second aunt wouldn't hate her like this, she would have wished she had died!" If it weren't for Brother Jian'er's entrance examination this year, and your second uncle's official did just right, she probably wouldn't have concealed it at all! Rao is like this, when she meets others, she still can't help but break her mouth, just to be happy in her heart, and to be able to let out that sulking!"

Qin Hanzhen shook his head and said: "This is not a good thing, even if everyone in the Eastern Mansion has the intention to hide it from the eldest uncle and grandmother, after all, the eldest uncle and grandmother are the ones who have been the housewife for many years, and there are still many people who are willing to be loyal to her." In addition, now Dongfu is not the second uncle in charge...... If one day the eldest uncle and grandmother really know the truth, and the eldest master Xu has a good one, it is difficult to say whether Dongfu will need to keep filial piety. Uncle and grandmother, after all, are old people, and they have always been very sick, and they have vomited blood several times. ”

Niu sighed: "Actually, she also asked for herself." How many times have I persuaded her, but she just can't think about it! If the Xu family is very good to her, she is worried about her flesh and blood, and she plans for the Xu family wholeheartedly, that's it. But in the past, the Xu family only knew that they relied on her for everything, and relied on her to marry into the Chengenhou Mansion, and they wanted benefits all the time, but they didn't help her much. Now Xu's family room has no sincerity towards her, and she refuses to even visit her. The second room of the Xu family is respectful to her, and Xu Rong is also competitive, but she doesn't take it very seriously, as if she facilitated the marriage between Xu Rong and the fifth girl, so she doesn't have to worry about anything else. Her heart is too biased. It's a pity that Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng, and other people in Xu's family room have all lived up to her expectations!"

Qin Hanzhen said: "How can others persuade this kind of thing? Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans." Her past partiality and unprincipled connivance raised heartless juniors like Xu Jiafang, and now she has to suffer the consequences of this, which is also natural. ”

Niu sighed and sighed, and said: "That's it, let's take care of her affairs, we can't take care of it if we want to! Feng Yuting, the younger brother of your second aunt, although he did not participate in the current examination, has already decided that he will end the examination in two years. Your second aunt asked him to stay in the capital to prepare for the exam, and she was thinking that he was not too young to tell him about his family. In the past few days, we have been discussing what kind of family matter we want to tell Yuting, and we already have an eyebrow. When the family affairs are settled, you and Guanglu remember to give him a gift and give him a face. Brother Qian has been in his hometown for many years, and Yuting, the uncle, has not taken care of him a lot, and our family needs to remember his favor. ”

This is just a trivial matter, Qin Han really readily agreed.

Except for the Xu family's house, which has to face all kinds of difficulties, all the other families have their own happy events and are busy in an orderly manner. Qin Jian, Lu Chuming, Yu Shizi and Qin Kewen are each preparing for the palace test; Xu Rong and Lu Chuliang, who are far away from his hometown, are also about to usher in the second level of the children's life test-the government test; Yongjiahou Mansion is worried about Feng Yuting's family affairs, and he also has to prepare for Qin Qian's succession; Qin Kelun has also found a suitable house and is preparing to move; and Qin Youzhen, although he has not yet returned to Beijing, he has already sent the housekeeper back, and he has started to work back and forth, preparing to wait for Lu Chuming, After Lu Chuliang finished the exam, he reunited at home, and at the same time began to prepare for the wedding of Lu Chuming and Sun Saijiu's daughter.

At this time, the situation in Liaodong was finally completely stabilized, and the army led by the Marquis of Yunyang and General Ma Lao was about to return to the court. The court is ready to be rewarded for meritorious deeds. The Cai family, the Ma family, and the Min family all have young children who have made great contributions this time, and it is estimated that several families will have a good time at that time. Mrs. Yunyang Hou asked Mrs. Cai San to go to the second room of the Qin family in person, and discussed the date of Cai 17 and Qin Jinchun's wedding with Qin Bofu and his wife. The Cai family obviously planned to do his life's major events at the same time as Cai Seventeen's meritorious promotion.

The second room of the Qin family was both relieved and happy. It is gratifying that after Cai Seventeen turned over, he did not give up the second room of the Qin family, which does not seem to be too ideal, and the second room of the Cai family now finally has a decent son-in-law, which is even more decent than Pei Cheng of Pei Guogong's mansion! Pei Cheng is family background sounds good, but in fact it is not of any use. Cai Qiqi is different, not only is he from a good background (now Qin Bofu is finally willing to admit the fact that he is the "son" of Yunyang Hou), he is also angry, and he is also respectful and filial to the Yue family, is there a more ideal son-in-law than him?

Qin Bofu decided to do his best to hold a decent wedding for his youngest daughter, and the length of the dowry list should be quadrupled compared to the original plan, no matter what, he couldn't lose face in front of his in-laws, the Marquis of Yunyang. His arm injury is difficult to heal now, and it seems that the Honglu Temple can no longer prevaricate, and it is estimated that he will still be idle at home in the future. With a good son-in-law to support them, outsiders can't underestimate them anymore. Because he was reluctant to give too much blood to his family, Qin Bofu even let go of his past grudges and found the Xue family again. And the Xue family's situation is really not good now, it is estimated that this time they are reluctant, they can only bleed.

Anyway, they relied on Qin Bofu's relationship for benefits in the past, but now they are just repaying him.
