Chapter 280: Illness Comes Like a Mountain
Xu Hening came to the hall and saw Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai sitting on the side, accompanied by Bai Yingying, Xu Heming and Gu Chunyan sitting opposite.
Mrs. Bai came this time, mainly to be a matchmaker for her daughter, since the battle of Dongcheng, the emperor ordered Xuanyuan Zhe, the prince of Qingwangfu, to guard the border city, which also shows that Qingwangfu has lost power.
She and Bai Wangyuan can be said to be a bamboo basket for water, their dream of entering Shengjing to be a big official was shattered, but her daughter could not marry into a barren and barren border city to suffer hardships, so the husband and wife discussed in the end, and still felt that marrying their daughter into the richest family in Luo'an City as a wife, first, the daughter has no worries in this life, and secondly, the rich side of Xufu, the combination of the two can help Bai Wangyuan's status in Luo'an City to be eternal.
Xu Hening came in, bowed to his father and Mrs. Bai Wangyuan, Mrs. Bai exchanged a few words of greeting with Mrs. Xu, and then cut to the topic, praising Xu Hening's quick thinking, good business and her daughter's talent and appearance.
Xu Heming, as the nephew of Mrs. Bai, was pale when he listened to it, and when he saw that Master Xu happily agreed, he immediately put down the teacup and left.
Gu Chunyan sat awkwardly awkwardly, she didn't dare to learn from Xu Heming and leave, but the content of their conversation made her feel cold.
If the daughter of the county order marries Xu Hening, how can the family property of the Xu Mansion fall into her hands, I am afraid that Mrs. Bai will not agree to divide half of it.
Gu Chunyan made an excuse to say that she was unwell, and Mrs. Xu looked at her with disdain: "You are stupid, you are tired of sitting here, so go back to your room to rest." β
"Thank you, Madame, for your understanding."
After Gu Chunyan left, she hurriedly looked for Xu Heming with her stomach up, Xu Heming was smashing the table and smashing the teacup in the house, and she was not angry when she saw Gu Chunyan come in.
"What are you going to do, look at the jokes of the master, right? Get out of here! β
Gu Chunyan looked embarrassed, she clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and put on a smiling face: "Heming, don't be angry, be careful of hurting your body." β
"Don't be pretentious."
"Heming, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about our children." Gu Chunyan looked aggrieved, put her hand on her stomach, and said eloquently: "When Miss Bai marries into the Xu Mansion, do you still have the status of you and me in this mansion?" At that time, the property of the Xu Mansion will be in the hands of the eldest brother and Miss Bai, and the two of us are only afraid of ......"
"He dares, for my aunt's sake, my father will give me half of it."
"Huh!" Gu Chunyan sneered, "Auntie, is it the nephew who is close, or the daughter who is close?" Don't you understand it now? Miss Bai didn't marry Qing Shizi, but turned her head to marry the eldest brother, don't be naΓ―ve to think that the county lord loves his daughter and fulfills his daughter's love, he is for his own benefit, and uses the wealth of the Xu Mansion to consolidate his position as the county lord. So do you think they might let their daughter give up her property? β
A word woke up the person in the dream, Xu Heming's eyes widened: "What do you mean, we have become idlers in Xu Mansion?" Since then, it is not our turn to meddle in the affairs of the family? β
Gu Chunyan frowned: "I'm afraid we won't have a good life at that time, a powerless and powerless son, is there still anyone to respect in the Xu Mansion?" β
Naturally, she didn't think about Xu Heming, but worried about herself.
"What then? The master has been pressed by Xu Hening for half his life, so he can't be trampled under his head for the rest of his life and steal his life, right? β
Gu Chunyan's eyes were full of fierce light, and she whispered in Xu Heming's ear with a sinister bow, and after a while, Xu Heming raised his head, and the light in his eyes gradually turned cold.
"Okay, let's not do it twice, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
Xu Heming lowered his head sadly, and it took a long time to raise his head, he looked resolute, gritted his teeth and said: "Well, all the notes in the family are in Dad's study, and the key to the study is under Dad's pillow...... I'm going to find a way to get it these days. β
"How do you think of a way, Dad has always been cautious, how can you possibly have a chance to get close to Daddy's pillow?" Gu Chunyan's face was full of sadness, but her heart was overjoyed, great, the opportunity has finally come.
"I'll give my dad ......" Xu Heming whispered something in Gu Chunyan's ear, Gu Chunyan covered her mouth in surprise and joy to hide her uncontrollable smile.
In the past few days, the sky has been fluttering and sprinkling snow, Master Xu's health has been getting worse and worse in the past few days, so that he can't afford to get out of bed, the whole Xu Mansion is silent, everyone is in danger, and they are careful in doing things, for fear of hindering the eyes of the master and causing trouble. 187
Xu Hening realized that his father was sick, not because the weather was cold, so he sent someone to invite Xue Yan to stay in front of the bed and never leave.
The maid brought the ginseng soup in, and Mrs. Xu reached out to pick it up, but Xu Hening caught him and fed Master Xu personally.
"Dad, drink some ginseng soup to replenish your body, you can drink it and your body will be fine."
Master Xu opened his eyes weakly, with a faint smile on his lips: "Illness comes like a mountain, my father's own body, I know, you help my father sit up, I have something to say." β
Although Master Xu is old, he will not fall ill because of the snow, and the reason for his illness is strange, but he himself dare not guess.
"Dad, you're not feeling well, so I'd better lie down and I'll feed you." Xu Hening persuaded softly.
Master Xu waved his hand weakly, struggling to get up, Xu Hening couldn't resist his father, so he had to put down the bowl and help his father up.
"Hening, it's good for Dad to have you with him on the last journey, Heming hasn't come to see Dad yet, it can be seen that he has complaints about Dad in his heart, if something happens to Daddy, the family business of the Xu Mansion will be handed over to you, I just hope you can help your brother more, so that he won't worry about his livelihood in the future."
"Dad, no, my son's way of doing business is not as good as my father, my father hasn't taught all his experience to my son, you are just infected with the cold, wait for Brother Xue to come to treat you, and prescribe some medicine to take it."
Xu Hening didn't want to admit that his father was not good, and Master Xu smiled weakly again: "You must always keep your father's words in mind, you must do the money matter yourself, even the people close to you should not be easily let others take care of it, including Heming, do you understand?" β
Xu Hening was stunned for a moment, "Brother, hasn't he been learning business from you recently?" β
Master Xu didn't speak, just shed tears of heartache, his Wanguan family property could not fall into the hands of his scheming son, he was afraid that his life savings would be squandered by him.
"If your brother can be hoped, can I still leave this huge burden to you alone? What he did to Shiweitian Restaurant this time, isn't it enough to wake up his father? is so ruthless, if the entire Xu Mansion is handed over to him, my father is afraid that he will be sorry for the ancestors of Quan. β
Xu Hening saw his father crying, and immediately broke down, and he was afraid of causing his father to be sad, so he tried his best to hold back the tears from flowing, he picked up the medicine bowl: "Dad, the ginseng soup is about to be cold, you can drink it while it's hot, and your body will be fine after drinking." β
"No need, these things are useless, my father is old, I will leave you sooner or later, and the family will be handed over to you in the future, your mother should comfort her well, don't want her to be too sad, she has suffered a lot in my life, and because of Heming, I have been wronged, and my father is sorry for her."
"Daddy......" Xu Hening couldn't help it after all, and burst into tears, "You'll be fine, you'll be fine, I've invited the best doctor in Shengjing for you, he's coming soon, don't worry." β
"You are filial, Dad is very pleased, Dad didn't cultivate you in vain, among the descendants of our Xu Mansion, you have a future, the Xu family will count on you to spread out in the future, Dad believes that you will definitely carry forward the Xu family."
"Sir...... What nonsense are you talking about, it's just a little bit of a chill, don't worry so much. Master Xu comforted him with tears in his eyes.
"Daddy......" listened, like his father's last words, and Xu Hening's tears flowed down like a flood of an open floodgate.
Master Xu gradually closed his heavy eyes, Xu Hening panicked, "Dad, Dad, wake up, wake up, come on, ask the doctor ......"
The housekeeper had already sent someone to invite the doctor from the nearest pharmacy to his home, and the doctor came quickly, and shook his head again and again after diagnosis and treatment, "The old man can't do anything, please ask the son to ask Gao Ming." β
"No, aren't you the most famous doctor in Luo'an City? How can you be helpless? Xu Hening shook the doctor's shoulders in disbelief.
Mrs. Xu took Xu Hening's hand in shock: "Son, your father ...... him"
"Impossible, how could my father suddenly die, my father has always been tough, and my father still has to manage Shengjing's business. Mother, Dad must be tired, he fell asleep. β
At this moment, the housekeeper pushed the door in, "Xue Gongzi has arrived." β
