Xu was still sick and could not go to watch the army return to the court. Yao's daughter-in-law was also mediocre in the soldiers, so she stayed in the Chengenhou Mansion, nominally because she wanted to stay and serve her mother-in-law, but only she knew the actual intention.

Obviously, the eyes and ears that the Yao family planted on the Xu family's side had just brought back the latest news to her. If it was in normal times, she wouldn't care if Master Xu was dead or alive, anyway, he had had a stroke for a long time, and the news of his aggravation had already been reported, even if he was sick and dying now, it was normal. But she needs to be wary of whether Xu's condition will worsen after learning the news? Will something happen to her? Of course, Yao's is not concerned about her mother-in-law's health, she just doesn't want her husband to worry, and she doesn't want her son to have to give up because of filial piety. Qin Jian is in a very good state this year, and if he is full of energy, he will definitely be able to enter the high school......

The Yao family now has no concubine to discuss serious matters, and told her husband Qin Zhonghai that she was afraid that he would pursue his source. She remembered that Niu's knew about her buying ears and eyes in Xu's house, so she planned to ask Niu's to give her an idea. No matter what Niu said, as long as she expressed her opinion, Yao was not afraid to face her husband and son at home again, and there was an elder in front of Niu in front of her......

The Niu family may not know these little Jiujiu in Yao's heart, after she heard Yulan's words, she was only surprised: "Master Xu's condition, doesn't it mean that it has stabilized? Why did it suddenly become so bad?! And the Xu family still wants to hide it at this time? What is there to hide? How can it be hidden?!"

Yulan sighed and said: "Back to the third lady's words, it seems that the Xu family is asking the Gui family to seek an official position for Uncle Xu after his recovery, maybe he is afraid that letting people know about Master Xu's illness will hinder this matter, right? As for Master Xu's illness, everyone originally thought it was stable, but who would have thought that after a few days of stabilization, it began to deteriorate, and now it can't hold on anymore after all. ”

Niu Shi said: "Even if it was for the sake of recovery, he hid Master Xu's illness from the outside world, and when his condition was not good, he shouldn't hide it anymore." The relatives are all sick and dying, even if they get a high-ranking official, what can they do? Can they really take office? Let people know, then Uncle Xu will have to gain a reputation for being unfilial and greedy for power. What is the current situation of the Xu family's house? Where can it withstand criticism? It can be seen that it is really degenerate! When the family can't even care about their conduct, what else do they want to revive the lintel? !

Magnolia also felt the same way: "You are right. ”

Niu Shi turned to Qin Hanzhen: "What do you think? This kind of thing, it is impossible to really hide it from your uncle and grandmother, but she is so sick now, and I am afraid that after she hears the news, she will have a good situation, in case it hinders your cousin's palace test, it is too unworthy!"

Qin Hanzhen has had the same idea since he was just a child. However, if the Xu family is really grieved because of the death of his mother's brother, and even his own life is buried together, it can only be said that Qin Zhonghai and Qin Jian's father and son are unlucky, and no one can be blamed. The Qin family's room is different from the Xu family's room, and it is impossible to really violate the law of filial piety and etiquette for the sake of his own career and future.

She said to Yulan: "Over there in the Xu family's room, did you send someone to the East Mansion to report the news?"

Yulan bowed her head respectfully and replied: "Back to the princess, the Xu family has not sent anyone here. His home seems to be ...... It's because he concealed Master Xu's illness from the outside world before, for fear of arousing suspicion, so he is still blocking the news now......"

Qin Hanzhen pouted: "Idiot! What's the use of hiding it at this time?" She said to Yulan, "How did the second aunt know the news of the Xu family's room, I don't ask, but if the Xu family's room didn't send someone to report the news, how would she explain how she received the news in advance? And even if she told the eldest uncle and grandmother about it, what could the eldest uncle and grandmother do? Will she be able to save the eldest uncle and grandmother in person, or will she be less sad? Or can the eldest uncle and grandmother still be able to hold on to her body and go to the Xu family's room to see the last face of the eldest uncle?"

"This ......" Magnolia couldn't help but hesitate. Seriously, she didn't think that the Xu family could hold up and go to the Xu family. And in addition to the possibility of catching up with Master Xu for the last time, the Xu family can't do anything at all.

Qin Hanzhen said: "Tell the second aunt that she came to my grandmother to ask for a plan, it is better to directly explain the situation to the second uncle and the elder brother." What to do, the two of them have their own decisions. If they decide to tell their uncle and grandmother the truth, they will naturally bear the consequences. They are upright men and gentlemen, and no matter how much they value the future of their careers in their hearts, they will not even ignore morality and etiquette for the sake of profit, like the Xu family. Even if they will really be delayed for a few years because of filial piety, as long as they have a clean reputation and integrity, their future is still very bright. The second aunt doesn't have to hide it, and she doesn't have to make decisions for them. Don't delay the really important things for the sake of some trivial matters. ”

Yulan heard it solemnly, and hurriedly bowed solemnly: "Yes, the slave understands." ”

Niu said: "Go, hurry up and explain the matter to your grandmother, let her not delay, and immediately inform your second master and Brother Jian of the truth." told her not to worry about what Zhong Hai would blame her, she thought that she was talking about the idea of the Xu family's room every day at home, could Zhong Hai still know nothing about what she was doing? It would be bad for her to keep things hidden. ”

Yulan's face turned pale, she quickly saluted, then retreated, and quickly ran back to Dongfu to spread the word.

Niu Shi sighed and said to Qin Hanzhen: "You, the second uncle, are always shrewd when you shouldn't be shrewd, and you are stupid when you should be shrewd." I don't even know if she's really smart or if she's really confused!"

Qin Hanzhen disagreed: "I guess she just thinks she is shrewd, right? She is still a trivial matter, there is such a big thing in the Xu family's room, but she didn't come to report it to the eldest uncle and grandmother, no matter how the second aunt got the news, in the end it was the fault of the Xu family's room." I'm just wondering, Uncle Xu is here, and he still wants to hide his father's illness from the outside, what is he thinking?"

What was Uncle Xu thinking at this time? He was thinking that if only he hadn't concealed his father's illness in the first place. In fact, he just hopes that before his father dies of illness, he can set down his official position after recovery and raise his rank up. How could he have imagined that his father's condition had not been stabilized and had deteriorated so quickly? He begged him every day at his father's hospital bed that he must support him for a while longer, but his father still disappointed him.

If he has not been able to recover smoothly, he will have to start keeping filial piety again, and maybe he will not be so unwilling. But...... Today's eldest son-in-law, the second son of Gui, rarely accompanied his daughter Xu Xiu back to Xu's house to save his relatives, and also brought him news of recovery. The official position has been found for him, and he only needs to report his resume, and soon there will be a formal appointment paperwork, and then his new position will be set, and the rank can be raised to two levels.

Although that official position is not a good place to go, it is still poor, and it is far away from the capital, and when he changes to another place, he would rather be idle at home than will definitely accept it! But the grade of Sheng's new position is two levels higher than his original one, as long as he accepts the appointment, Ding Wei will recover after three years, and he will have a higher starting point than now, which is much faster than his normal official in the past three years, and he has worked hard to improve his qualifications......

However, when the second son of Gui came to the door to save his relatives, the old father was critically ill, the subordinates were flustered, and the wife and son also lost their sense of proportion, so they let the second son of Gui know the news!

Let the son-in-law know that his father is critically ill, and the problem is not big, but he hid the matter from the Gui family before, but now it is a little difficult to explain. And the new appointment documents have not yet come down, and the new official position is obviously in the soup! Uncle Xu is so hateful and resentful in his heart, and the old father keeps saying that for the sake of the descendants of the Xu family, then why can't he get sick two days later?!

Uncle Xu sat in his father's yard and wanted to cry without tears, recalling the way his son-in-law looked at him, even if the other party didn't say anything, he knew that it was not good. If his son-in-law and Gui's family have prejudices against him because of this, can he still use the Gui family's power to find a good official position after three years?

Xu Zheng walked out of the house with red eyes: "Father, grandfather is dying, I have to change his old man's clothes, ...... Would you like to come along?"

Uncle Xu propped up his weak body: "Naturally, I want to come." Let's change it together. He looked at his son, "Originally, I was a little unwilling to let you give up this entrance examination, but now, ...... There is no need to be unwilling. ”

Xu Zheng opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and stepped aside, letting his father go first, and he followed.

Master Xu had just been changed into a shroud that had been hastily prepared a few days ago, and he swallowed his breath. He had been delirious since two days ago, and he had not left any last words. Everyone in the family cried, and even Xu Xiu, who had just caught up with her parents' home, also cried into tears.

In the midst of this crying, the second room of the Xu family next door also arrived. The upper and lower rooms are also the objects of concealment, although they know from the mouths of the subordinates that Master Xu's condition is not good, but they really didn't expect him to die so soon. Second Master Xu threw himself on his brother's corpse and cried, and Second Mrs. Xu also began to ask her nephews and daughters-in-law how to handle the future. If she hadn't reminded her, Grandma Xu might still be immersed in the grief of her husband's career being frustrated again, and she couldn't think of reporting the funeral to the Chengenhou Mansion.

At the same time, the second son of Gui, who had done what he had to do according to the etiquette, also said to his grief-stricken wife Xu Xiu: "You stay and help, and I'll go back and report to my family." Tomorrow there will be people in the family to pay their respects to your grandfather. ”

Xu Xiu couldn't help but panic in her heart, stopped crying and pulled the corner of Gui's second son's sleeve: "Second master, don't leave me ......"

"I'm not leaving you, I'm just going home to report the news. You can't lose the courtesy of your in-laws. The second prince of Gui looked at his newly married wife lightly, "The family is completely unprepared. It's not like you haven't been back to your parents' house to visit the sick before, why didn't you mention that your grandfather was seriously ill, and only asked about your father's official position?"

Xu Xiu froze, but he was speechless.

Second Prince Gui sighed: "I thought it would be ...... You are different from your family, but I didn't expect me to think highly of you. But I misunderstood, you...... It's not as much like her as I thought it was. He gently broke away from Xu Xiu's hand and walked away.

Xu Xiu wanted to grab her husband's sleeve again and explain it to him, but ...... What could she say? One wrong step, one wrong step, it's too late to say anything.
