Chapter 254: Greetings to the eldest lady
Watching the carriage jolt along the official road, Xiao Yao turned around and went back. Thinking about the eldest lady and young master who I hadn't seen for a long time, I unconsciously showed a smile on my face.
Xiao Yao entered the city, and according to the address written on the letter, he walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the door of a mansion with the word Zhao Fu written on the door plaque. Looking around, the house in front of him is much smaller than the Zhao Mansion in Qinglong County, and on the streets surrounded by wealthy compounds, the Zhao Mansion looks very inconspicuous.
It's even a little shabby.
The gate of Zhao's mansion was open, and there was a subordinate standing on one side of the gate, leaning there listlessly, yawning twice from time to time.
"If you are troublesome, the little brother will spread the word, and he will say that someone is from Qinglong County, Hubei." Xiao Yao walked up the steps and said to the next person guarding the door.
In the middle of the night, I saw Zhao Banshan and Zhao An hurrying from the courtyard. When Zhao An saw Xiao Yao, he ran over quickly and hugged Xiao Yao excitedly, "Boss, you are back!" I miss you to death. ”
Zhao Banshan showed a look of relief on his face, came to Xiao Yao's side, held Xiao Yao's arm, and pulled him towards home. Xiao Yao has long been no longer regarded as a subordinate.
When I entered the hall, I didn't see the eldest lady and the lady. Xiao Yao asked casually, "Madam and Miss are okay?" Influenced by modern ideas, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking this question.
Hearing this, the father and son became quiet. Zhao An was silent, judging him like two people on weekdays. Zhao Banshan sighed lightly, "Don't hide it from your nephew, I wrote a letter to look forward to your coming to Beijing this time, just for the sake of the little girl Rushuang's condition." Ay! ”
Since handing over the business of the Zhao family in Qinglong County to Xiao Yao, he has called Xiao Yao a virtuous nephew. At this time, the mention was like frost, and his face was covered by gloomy clouds, and his heart was full of cramps, and he stopped talking.
"Young Master, how is the eldest lady's condition? But did it happen again? ”
Xiao Yao's heart was also pinched.
Zhao An looked at his father, and saw that his father had no intention of stopping him, so he told Xiao Yao about his sister's recent physical condition.
Soon after moving to the capital, the strange illness of frost syncope has become more and more frequent, and there is no sign before the attack. For this reason, the Zhao family ran all over the large and small medical halls in the capital, looking for countless doctors, but they couldn't find any symptoms, and they were all helpless.
Later, relying on the relationship between the old lady Zhao in the capital back then, she did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and invited the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat the eldest lady's strange disease, but the result given by the imperial doctor was like a sharp sword in the heart of the Zhao family.
The strange disease obtained by the eldest lady is rare for thousands of years, and the old imperial doctor only remembers that this strange disease was mentioned in a classical medical book in the secret vault of the palace. "Syncope syndrome, the middle one tastes syncope, the more urgent it is, the life expectancy is not more than double ten, and there is no good prescription."
"The imperial doctor said that my sister's life span is only three years left at most..."Zhao An's eyes were already moist when he said this.
"Impossible! What bullshit imperial doctor, he must be fooling people! Many doctors always have to explain the patient's condition as strictly as possible before treating people, and finally ask for a high consultation fee. The eldest lady is so good, how could it be what he said! ”
Xiao Yao stumbled up from his seat, not believing what the imperial doctor said. But my heart is tugging, and I can't go down. What I said just now is just a mouthful, but in fact, I know very well in my heart that the imperial doctor is the person who sees the emperor, not something that ordinary people can invite.
"How is the eldest lady now? Does the eldest lady know about this? Can I go see her? ”
Xiao Yao really couldn't believe this fact, and he didn't dare to think that if the eldest lady knew that her life was short, she would do something stupid.
Xiao Yao's mood suddenly became a little irritable, and he secretly hated God for being unfair, how could such a good person as the eldest lady get such a strange disease?!
If it were someone else, Zhao Banshan would have been angry. The daughter is in the boudoir, how can the man say that he will see him! It's just that Xiao Yao mentioned it at this time, but he was stunned, waved his hand, and ordered Zhao An to take Xiao Yao to the backyard to visit his daughter.
Xiao Yao and Zhao An walked side by side and walked towards the boudoir of the eldest lady in the backyard.
"It's Xiao Yao in front?"
The two stopped, Xiao Yao turned around and looked at him, his face was happy, and he arched his hand: "It turned out to be Mr." I haven't seen you for many days, and the boy has said goodbye to you. ”
When Mr. Wang saw Xiao Yao, he was also overjoyed and overjoyed. smiled: "Since Qinglong County has been goodbye, I haven't seen you for a few days, little brother don't come unharmed?" Haha~"
"Ask what money is in the world, and the straight people are separated by life and death. In order to survive, the kid can only wander around, haha. I don't know when I will have the opportunity to stay by my husband's side and listen to his earnest teachings. ”
"Oh ~ The little brother is talented, rich in five cars, and he is really admired. There is a way to hear the Tao in order, and the one who reaches it is the teacher. The little brother can go up to the monk's teacher, and his talent has far surpassed that of the old. Where do you dare to be arrogant, teach you, little brother? Haha~"
Mr. Wang's words are sincere, from the bottom of his heart, and not a lie. Since Xiao Yao made that link, he has completely changed his opinion of Xiao Yao. Every time Xiao Yao is mentioned in front of his family, Xiao Yao is always referred to as a celestial. Especially in front of his granddaughter.
Xiao Yaofeng smiled lightly, and was able to make that link, although he was suspected of cheating, but he was also diligent and studious in college, and he didn't feel embarrassed. "Sir, it's really a prize. The kid thought that the Zhao family would move to the capital and never see Mr. again in the future, but he didn't expect to see Mr. again today. ”
"Since ancient times, there have been clouds, entrusted by people, and loyal to people. Since the old man agreed to the Zhao family to be the young master's teacher, how could he give up halfway? What's more, the Zhao family moved here, but they were closer to the old family. The old house is on the next street. Another day, the old decay will definitely sweep the court and wait for the little brother. ”
"The kid will definitely come to visit him someday."
Bidding farewell to Mr. Wang, the two came to the door of the eldest lady's boudoir. Seeing the eldest lady's personal maid, Xiaocui walked out of the house with a basin.
"Hi~ Sister Xiaocui, do you miss Brother Xiao Yao?"
Xiao Yao smiled forward and said hello to Xiao Cui.
At first glance, Xiao Cui was obviously stunned, and was about to ask, when she heard Xiao Yao's slightly playful words, she was angry. Snorted: "You... Shameless! The devil will miss you! Hmph~" I clearly remember this time in my heart, I'm afraid that the person mentioned the most in Miss's mouth is this guy.
Wow~! Splashed the water from the washbasin in his hand on the ground in front of Xiao Yao, turned around and entered the house.
At this time, I heard the familiar eldest lady's question from the room, "Who were you talking to just now?" What shamelessness, miss you? ”
Then I heard Xiaocui complain loudly: "Oh, Miss! See for yourself later! He's supposed to be in right away. At the end, there was a whisper, "Who could be more shameless than that guy!" ”
It's just that even the eldest lady couldn't hear it.
The eldest lady listened to the clouds, just now this girl went out to sprinkle her face with water, how did this blink of an eye seem to be a different person?
While pondering, Xiao Yao and the young master swaggered into the house, and through the screen, they vaguely saw the graceful figure of the eldest lady sitting in front of the dresser. A knowing smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Yao came to say hello to the eldest lady~ May the eldest lady be happy every day and always beautiful and moving." After speaking, he and Zhao An looked at each other and secretly rejoiced.
"Oh!"
I only heard an exclamation from the eldest lady in the back room, and the comb in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.
Rushuang turned around sharply and stared at the somewhat vague figure behind the screen, with a face full of incredulity.
