One, two, three...

Looking at the silver needles inserted one by one, Xu Yan and Xu Chen's hearts rose to their throats.

Acupuncture is a kind of therapy, which is actually quite mysterious, and it completely depends on the patient's technique and experience.

Of course, Gao Zhizhai must be a leader, otherwise Xu Yan would not have let him be relieved to administer the treatment.

After piercing more than a dozen stitches, I saw Xu Huaiyuan's left fingers move, and then his eyes opened.

"Daddy!"

Xu Yan was so excited that he instinctively shouted out.

"Come here, let my dad see..."

Xu Huaiyuan's body was still very weak, and his voice was weak and intermittent.

Xu Yan hurriedly came to the bedside, held his father's hand and said, "My son is not filial and has not been able to accompany his father." ”

Xu Huaiyuan shook his head and smiled.

"It's my father's own carelessness, I thought I could get better by taking a few prescriptions, but who knew that this disease was so ferocious."

Xu Yan sighed and said: "Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." Dad has to be good at giving birth and raising it. ”

Xu Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Dad listens to you." ”

He obviously also noticed Gao Zhizhai on the side, and wondered: "Who is this?" ”

Xu Yan hurriedly explained: "Dad, this is a famous high doctor in Ningbo Prefecture, and he cured you." ”

Gao Zhizhai shook his head when he heard this: "The word divine doctor Gao doesn't dare to be a doctor." Besides, Ling Zun's illness has not been cured yet, and he needs to be slowly adjusted. ”

Xu Yan saluted Gao Zhizhai and said, "Doctor Gao is too humble. We don't know what to do without you. ”

Xu Huaiyuan also nodded at Gao Zhizhai.

"Thank you, Doctor Gao."

Gao Zhizhai said in a harmonious voice: "Gao Mou will go and make a prescription, so as not to disturb a few people." ”

With that, he took the medicine box and left.

"Ahem, then I'll go talk to Doctor Gao."

Seeing this, Shen Mingchen also slipped out very interestingly.

In this way, there are only three members of the Xu family in the house.

"Dad, why didn't you write to tell your son earlier?"

Xu Yan said a little aggrieved.

"As a father, I don't think it's a serious illness, I'm afraid my son will worry."

Xu Huaiyuan sighed and said, "You are studying with Mr. Xushan in Gushan Academy, and you are preparing for the college exam with all your might, because my father is afraid of delaying you." ”

Xu Yan's eyes turned red: "Compared with his father's body, what is the child's schoolwork." ”

"I don't dare to say that. The old Xu family finally came out with such a reading blank as you, and it was the ancestral tomb that smoked green. If you delay your fame because of your father, your ancestors will not forgive you. ”

"If you father and son talk about these things as soon as they meet, you can't talk about some happy things."

Xu Chen glanced at Xu Yan, and Xu Yan understood.

"Dad, the child met the Grand Master at the Lonely Mountain Academy. He also praised the child. ”

Compared with making money, Dad definitely wants to hear good news about Xu Yan's studies. Therefore, Xu Yan pointed out directly.

Sure enough, Xu Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard the news.

"My son is really a Wenqu star, and even the great grandmaster is optimistic about you."

Xu Yan blushed and said, "Dad, let's keep a low profile." The Great Grandmaster also praised me a few words. ”

"A few words are enough. This fully shows that my talent is very comparable. ”

Xu Huaiyuan exclaimed: "It seems that my son has stabilized in this hospital test, and the ancestor has appeared." ”

Xu Yanzhi couldn't cry or laugh, folded the quilt for his father and said in a harmonious voice: "Dad, you just have to rest and recuperate, and your son will not let you down." ”

"By the way, did your grandfather tell you about the engagement?"

Somehow, Xu Chen suddenly provoked this topic.

Xu Yanxin said in his heart, it seems that he can't hide it now.

"Uh... Mother, my grandfather talked to me, but the child asked his old man if he could let me think about it. ”

After that, he took out the Geng post and handed it to the old lady.

It's impossible to keep this kind of thing a secret, it's better to confess it from the beginning.

Xu Chen took the Geng post and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the daughter of the Hong family, the same as what his father said.

"Such a good girl, what am I hesitating about?"

Xu Yanxin said, You haven't seen this Hong Miaoyun, how do you know that it must be good? Is it just based on family background?

Thanks to Xu Yan, he met Hong Miaoyun once by chance, otherwise he didn't have any bottom in his heart, and it wasn't what his grandmother said.

"The child is still young after all..."

As soon as Xu Yan spoke, Xu Huaiyuan shook his head: "My son is not young, and now he is engaged, and getting married will be a few years later." Your grandfather is right about this. ”

Dad didn't know when he also joined the battle, and Xu Yan was instantly at a disadvantage.

Obediently, this is really a family battle, how can you play three against one?

"Dad, let me think about it."

That is, Xu Yan is the only son of the Xu family, and his father and mother are very doting.

If it were another family, a sentence of the parents' order to match the concubine would block the conversation, where would there be any room for consideration.

"Well, my son is grown up, and it's time to think about my life's events. However, my father still thinks that it is a rare good marriage between you and Miss Hong. ”

Xu Huaiyuan said with a smile.

Xu Yan really didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he changed the conversation and said: "By the way, Dad, that Shen Gongzi is a friend I met in Hangzhou, and coincidentally, he is also from Ningbo. If he hadn't invited a high doctor, his son would have died in a hurry. I really want to thank him this time. ”

Xu Huaiyuan nodded: "My son is right, you have to know how to repay your kindness." Is this Shen Gongzi also a scholar? ”

It can be seen that his father attaches great importance to his identity as a friend, Xu Yan explained with a smile: "This Shen Gongzi is not only a scholar, but also the first genius in Ningbo." Of course, this was before the Lonely Mountain Poetry Society. After the poetry meeting, the child snatched his name. Now Shen Gongzi is afraid that he can only be relegated to second place. ”

Xu Huaiyuan was surprised: "My son is already so famous now? ”

Xu Yan said proudly: "You may not believe it when you say it, but the child is now also a talented person." ”

"Is your grandfather okay?"

It has been more than half a month since Xu Chen returned to Dinghai County, and he is still thinking about Old Man Chen.

"My grandfather has moved back home. I heard that the weaving yamen is already on the right track. ”

Xu Yan said in a harmonious voice.

Xu Chen smiled and nodded.

"That's fine."

It's not good to do things for the royal family, you have to raise your heart to your throat all the time, and if you're not careful, you'll end up with a ruined family.

From this point of view, it makes sense for his son to insist on not letting the Xu family get involved in this.

"By the way, Dad, the business in Hangzhou Bookstore is getting more and more prosperous, and my son took it upon himself to let Xu Wei stay in Hangzhou to take care of it."

Xu Yan reported the good news but not the bad news, and hid the bad things of the Zhou family.

"When my son grows up, it's good to decide such small things by yourself."

Xu Huaiyuan said lovingly.
