Before the funeral report of the Xu family's house reached the Chengenhou Mansion, the Xu family learned the news that his brother was critically ill from his son Qin Zhonghai. She was shocked: "How can this be?! Isn't he always fine?! He just had a stroke!"

Qin Zhonghai told her: "Xu Zheng will not succeed in the test, it is very likely to fall into the top three, this news was hidden from the eldest uncle at first, but the eldest uncle was concerned about Xu Zheng's examination results, and after repeated questioning, he still knew the truth." The eldest uncle probably couldn't accept this result, and he vomited blood in a hurry that day. Although the condition stabilized for a while, the condition continued to worsen day by day, and now it is finally unable to hold on. My cousin kept the news a secret and had no intention of reporting it to his mother. This is what I learned after I heard the news by chance, and I was worried that my eldest uncle would have a good time, so I privately asked people to pay attention to the situation in Xu's family's room. But my cousin hasn't come to report yet, and I really don't know what his plans are, so I'll have to say hello to you first. If the eldest uncle really ...... At least you know what to expect. ”

Xu's face showed grief, and tears fell involuntarily. She choked for a long time before she wiped away her tears, coughed and gasped, "I know...... Your cousin is worried that Brother Zheng's palace test will be affected, so he will keep it a secret from outsiders. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother still failed to make it to the palace test...... In fact, there are only a few days left, why can't he last two more days?"

Qin Zhonghai sat in front of his mother's hospital bed expressionlessly, and wanted to make it clear that Uncle Xu was not such a loving father, and he hid his father's illness from the outside, where was it for Xu Zheng's palace examination?

But in the end, he still didn't say it. The mother now lives in the main house of Songfeng Hall, and the news from the outside world, as long as their husband and wife do not allow it, and the son and daughter-in-law do not have much to do, it will not reach her ears. Why let her know what kind of situation her mother's family has fallen? Let her relax a little more and continue to think that the younger generations of her mother's family are still clear and decent scholars, and recuperate with peace of mind. Her condition is not mild, and the imperial doctor said when he came back that don't be angry with her anymore, otherwise it is difficult to say how long she can last.

Seeing that after his mother heard the news that his uncle was seriously ill, although he was sad, it would not affect his condition, Qin Zhonghai also felt quite relieved. He wasn't going to do anything superfluous. No matter how partial Xu's family is, he is also his own mother.

Xu cried for a while and coughed again. Qin Zhonghai patted her on the back gently, and ordered someone to bring warm tea to serve her to drink, and seeing that she was better, he sat back in his place.

Xu's face was sad, but his mood was still quite stable. She said to Qin Zhonghai: "Your cousin can't think about it either." Brother Zheng will try his bad luck this time, and he missed for a while. Although during the palace examination, as long as he can perform normally, he can still write good articles and rank among the best, but now that he is frustrated, he can't help but lose his ambition a little, and if he reluctantly goes to the palace examination, there may not be any good results. Let him try again in the next subject, maybe he will be more sure. Wasn't Brother Jian the same at the beginning? Yu Shizi even jumped to the top of the apricot list. Brother Zheng has been smart since he was a child, and he is outstanding in learning, so he will definitely not be worse than them. All he needed was luck. Why does your cousin have to let Brother Zheng stick to this subject?"

Qin Zhonghai said lightly: "Cousin shouldn't have such thoughts. What's more, now that the uncle is dying, Brother Zheng can't take the palace exam anymore, and he has to take the next subject again, saving them the effort of hesitation. ”

Although Xu felt that his son's tone of voice was weird, his son had a lot of prejudices against the Xu family in recent years, and it was common for him to speak in a weird manner. Xu Shi coughed twice uncomfortably, but he didn't think much about it, but said: "Now that I think about it, fortunately, Sister Xiu'er got married quickly, and Brother Zheng'er married quickly, otherwise your uncle's illness and the marriage of your grandchildren and granddaughters will be delayed." At the beginning, we thought that the Gui family set the wedding date too early and was not respectful enough, that is, your cousin and sister-in-law were dizzy and were bent on climbing the high branches of the Gui family, so they were willing to agree. If the wedding had been set for another month or two later, and it ran into your uncle's matter, the Gui family would not know if they would be happy to continue the marriage. I heard that their family was in a hurry to renew their son's ......"

Qin Zhonghai saw that his mother only knew how to talk about these trivial matters, and he also knew that she was not in good spirits, and he was afraid that he couldn't tell the priority of the matter, so he asked her directly: "Mother, I'm afraid that my uncle is really going to die, what are you going to do? Do you want to send someone to Xu's family room to ask? Cousin is too much this time, even if you really want to hide the news from outsiders, you shouldn't even be kept in the dark." ”

Xu's tears came out again: "Your cousin is afraid that if I know that I am sad, my condition will be better...... He's a fool too. How can I hide this kind of thing? I'll find out sooner or later!"

Qin Zhonghai sighed and didn't say anything more. Xu himself didn't mention that he wanted to see his brother for the last time, so why should he bother?

Listening to Xu's chatter, Xu Zheng and Xu Xiu met filial piety, and even the birth of children was delayed, Xu Xiu was still newly married, I don't know what the Gui family will say...... With words like these, Qin Zhonghai clearly realized in his heart that his mother was really old, sick, and confused. Where is there still the appearance of being shrewd and successful in the past? The things that Niu and Yao are worried about are actually all blind worries.

The mother and son were talking, and Yu Xinlan had already received a funeral letter from Xu's family's room, and hurriedly told her mother-in-law. Yao personally came to Songfeng Hall and gave her husband a vague look: "The Xu family is here...... Qin Zhonghai is clear, this is Master Xu is really gone."

Xu naturally understood, and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and cried bitterly again.

Qin Zhonghai comforted his mother for a while, and only then did he leave the house until Xu was exhausted and fell asleep. Yao instructed the magpie and the others to wait, and quickly followed her husband.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I thought that Madame was going to vomit blood again this time! It seems that most of Madame's eccentricity is on Xu Zheng's head, Master Xu has been ill for a long time, Madame has long expected this day in her heart, right?"

Qin Zhonghai glared at her: "Shut up! If you don't say a few angry words, your mother won't vomit blood! I know that you have resentment in your heart, but just talk about it in your own room, knowing that your mother is not lightly ill, you still have to be angry with her old man, why don't you have any sense of proportion?!"

Yao Shi said angrily: "If I had no sense of proportion, I should have laughed three times in front of my wife, saying that Master Xu died well! If he hadn't deliberately connived at the beginning, how could the marriage between Brother Jian and Sister Hua be so difficult?

Qin Zhonghai reprimanded: "Shut up! Uncle is also an elder, you should also cultivate your morality! Brother Jian and Sister Hua are now looking for a good marriage, what do you have to complain about?"

Yao pouted: "The two children can find a good marriage now, it is because of your vision as a father, and the third uncle and three aunts plan for Brother Jian, but it is not the credit of Mrs. and the Xu family." Without them, my children would not have suffered so much. What's the point if I complain about two sentences? The Xu family didn't do good things in the first place, and they didn't let people say it? Don't mention anything else, your eldest uncle had just had a stroke, and the old lady in the second room had a stroke, and she didn't live a good life? Why did Master Xu die? If it weren't for the good children and grandchildren he taught, he wouldn't have ended up like this. You still think my words are not good, but you don't know what the Xu family has done, and it is even more unpleasant!"

Qin Zhonghai couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter? Could it be that the eldest uncle's illness is not enough, what else is there to be tired of?"

"I don't know if it's boring, anyway, none of the Xu family's rooms are filial sons and grandsons. Yao snorted coldly, "When the Xu family was separated, Grandma Xu sent almost all the loyal servants around the old man, and replaced them with her own people to take care of Master Xu, and the more she took care of people, the sicker she became. Master Xu said several times that the people waiting were not good, but Grandma Xu didn't listen to him, and thought he was verbose. What is the result? I just got the news that Master Xu has been lying in bed for more than a year, and he has grown an unknown number of sores on his back, and they are all about to rot, so how can his condition get better? This is because the people waiting around him are not careful. It is impossible for any of his sons and grandsons to fail to discover that any of them is filial! How can they not show their clues until they are about to be buried? Now they beat and sell the people who are waiting, and the old man cannot come back, so what filial piety can they pretend? !

Qin Zhonghai was stunned, but his brows furrowed even tighter. Master Xu is not indifferent to his son and grandson, and Uncle Xu and Xu Zheng actually ignore him to this point, which is too unfilial. In the past, Qin Zhonghai just felt that Uncle Xu's cousin was disappointing, Xu Zheng was just a little stupid and blindly obedient, and his nature was still good, but now that he thinks about it, such a person who blindly obeys his relatives but is indifferent and ignores his closest relatives is just a fool, no matter how good his nature is, how good can he be?

Qin Zhonghai has always had a lot of resentment towards his parents, but even if he has more resentment, he has not forgotten to ask his parents every morning and evening, every morning and evening, when his mother is sick, he will personally serve the decoction, and ask the big girl waiting beside his mother about his mother's daily life and changes in her condition. Every time Xu's condition fluctuated, he knew it in his heart, and he knew exactly what kind of medicine the imperial doctor used for her every time.

And Xu Zheng, could it be that he just buried himself in his studies and was indifferent to everything around him? No matter how smart such a young man is, even if he successfully passes the imperial examination, is he a jinshi, and becomes an official, what is the use? Can he work for the welfare of the people, or can he share the worries of the imperial court? If he is just an incompetent person and has lived a mediocre life, it will be fine, in case he does something wrong in a daze and ruins the reputation of the Xu family, I am afraid that the consequences will be more serious than when Master Xu was forced to resign that day. At that time, what will become of my mother's maiden family in the eyes of the world? What is left of my grandfather's former name?

Qin Zhonghai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
