Chapter 294: Brother and Sister

Mrs. Zhenguo was lying on the bed, but the thoughts in her heart were still non-stop.

"Mother, you have been in poor health since you had an accident with your brother recently." As the eldest daughter, Sister Meng'er knew the temperament of the prince of Zhenguo the most, and she handed the empty medicine bowl to the maid beside her. "From the time my father was sick to his death, you have never rested well, and now there are brothers and second uncles and county lords in front of you to take care of you, and you have to take care of your body, you have to watch Sister Yan get married."

"I have everything in my heart, no matter what, I have to stay up until the day my sister gets married."

Although Sister Yan'er's marriage has been decided, the two families have exchanged Geng posts and made a small decision. The family also came to the door today to put a stick of incense on the prince of Zhenguo, and the future mother-in-law of Sister Yan also came to visit Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi.

It is said that there is still a funeral in the Zhenguo Mansion that has not been completed, and after the burial of the prince of Zhenguo, their family will officially come to the door to discuss the engagement date with the wife of the prince of Zhenguo.

Sister Yan'er's marriage is scheduled before the death of the prince of Zhenguo, and if Sister Yan wants to get married, she will have to wait for her to finish her father's filial piety, no matter what, it will be at least three years later. Fortunately, the son-in-law of that family is about the same age as Sister Yan'er, and he is not in a hurry to get married. That family was also a noble scholar's family, and there was no habit of giving their children a room or a concubine before they got married.

"What did Mother say?" Sister Meng said helplessly. "In the end, my mother's illness is just because I am too worried about my brother, and when my father is buried this time, I will go to my grandfather to talk about it. Although we can't take my brother back to the imperial capital, we can at least send some caring people to take care of my brother's food, clothing, and daily life. ”

"Your grandfather has the most upright temperament, and Shaoyou has indeed done something wrong, don't go to your grandfather to say this, don't let your grandfather annoy you." What Sister Meng said was indeed what Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi had in mind. "When I'm feeling better, I'll go to your grandfather and tell you."

"In the end, my mother is just a heart disease, and I don't understand where my mother's heart disease can be cured." Sister Meng knew that Mrs. Zhenguo Gong was afraid that she would annoy Zhenguo Gong if she rashly mentioned this matter. "Mother thinks that my grandfather is upright, so she doesn't want to listen to you and my father repeatedly intercede for my brother. But the daughter felt that her grandfather was not such a hard-hearted person, otherwise her grandfather would not have fallen ill because of her father's sudden death. Besides, what we are asking for this time is not to intercede for our younger brother, nor do we want to bring my younger brother back from Funan, but to send a few family members to take care of him, and I want to come at this juncture, as long as the daughter and grandfather talk about it well, grandfather may not agree. ”

"That's it, you've always had an idea. Do it if you want to. "Sister Meng'er's words still moved Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi, and she finally agreed." If your brothers could be like you, I would have to worry about them. ”

As the eldest daughter, Sister Meng'er is quite similar to Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi in terms of temperament and means of doing things. Playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and housekeeping directors have all been learned. When Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshizi looked at Sister Meng, she often had a kind of regret in her heart, if only Sister Meng was a son.

"The two elder brothers have been much more honest since the younger brother had an accident and the father was subjected to family law." Sister Meng whispered to comfort her. "In the past, my brothers only relied on their father and mother to get by. Now that my father is gone, anyone with a discerning eye knows that we can't keep the title in this room, and although my brothers are a little stupid, they are not very stupid people, and they should know how to do best in the future. ”

"Hey, if only the two of them were as you did." After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhenguo decided to relay all the words she and Zhenguo Gong said in front of Zhenguo Gong's sickbed to Sister Meng'er. "Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

Chu Chu heard these words from the mouth of the prince of Zhenguo, and heard that the wife of the prince of Zhenguo took the initiative to kneel and beg the prince of Zhenguo, begging him to give up the position of the prince of Zhenguo to the second uncle Duan Chengwen after the death of the prince of Zhenguo.

Sister Meng was shocked at first hearing, and it took a while for her to slowly digest such a news.

"I'm a married girl, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't say anything more about the inheritance of the title in the house." After being silent for a while, Sister Meng'er organized her heart for a while before she spoke. "But since my mother had already mentioned this matter to my grandfather, I believe that this decision was also made by my mother after careful consideration. No matter how the title of the Zhenguo Mansion is inherited in the future, it is not enough for the mother to be the master. In the daughter's opinion, it is in our favor for our mother to take the initiative to bring up this matter before her grandfather had this idea. ”

"That's what you really think?" Mrs. Zhenguo asked.

"Of course, I am my mother's daughter and know my mother's concerns." Sister Meng got up and tucked the quilt for her. "I will always stand behind my mother, don't worry, mother, now my mother's health is the most important thing."

"Good, good, good." Sister Meng'er's words made Mrs. Zhenguo Shizi more and more moved. "I'll just get some rest."

"Well, I'm guarding my mother here."

Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi slowly closed her eyes, although she told Sister Meng about this matter, there was another thing that sank into her heart.

But that matter, she decided to hide it forever, and she would never say it again in this life.

Sister Meng stayed by the bedside for a long time, waiting until Mrs. Zhenguo fell asleep. She couldn't worry about Sister Zhen'er, so she got up and went outside to call the maids, and told them to come in and guard the princess of Zhenguo, and she wanted to go to Sister Zhen'er to have a look.

As soon as Sister Meng came out of the room of Mrs. Shizi of Zhenguo, she bumped into Xiao Xuan, who had come over with Sister Chu.

"I've seen the princess." Sister Meng was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she hurriedly saluted Xiao Xuan.

"It's okay, get up." Xiao Xuan knew that Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi and Sister Yan were sick, so she brought Sister Chu over to visit. "I heard that your mother and sister are sick, Sister Chu and I came over to take a look at the situation. I know that your mother has been weak for a while, so today she specially brought some supplements from my house that can nourish qi and replenish the body, and I will have some sent after a while. ”

"On behalf of my mother and sister, I have thanked the princess for her kindness." Sister Meng said.

"Sister Meng, you mourn." Sister Chu and Sister Meng have always had a good relationship, Sister Chu also likes this gentle and amiable cousin, she was often bullied by her cousin and cousin in the next room in the Zhenguo Mansion, only Sister Meng has always treated her very well and has always taken care of her. "Uncle and Sister Yan are sick, you must take care of your body."

"Sister Chu has really grown up, and she knows that she is worried about me." Sister Meng looked at Sister Chu with relief and said. "My sister has written it down."

"Then can my sister-in-law and I go in and see my aunt?"

"I'm afraid it's not convenient, my mother is weak, Dr. Shi told my mother that she must stay in bed to recuperate, I just served my mother to sleep."

"It's okay, we won't bother if it's inconvenient." Xiao Xuan mainly brought Sister Chu over for a walk, and it didn't matter if she could see Mrs. Zhenguo and Sister Zhen. "Then I'll take Sister Chu back first, and I'll have someone send the tonic over later. I'll stay in the house for a few days, and if there's anything I need help, just send someone to find me. ”

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

Xiao Xuan took Sister Chu away, and Sister Meng stood in place and looked at them in a daze for a while, until the maid beside her whispered to her, and she came back to her senses.

"Okay, go and tell someone to see if the medicine prepared for Sister Jian has been boiled?" Sister Meng reacted. "Let's go."

Xiao Xuan took Sister Chu to the courtyard of the second room, and met Xiao Jun standing alone on the side of the road on the way.

"Sixth brother?" Xiao Xuan saw him from a distance, and originally thought that he had seen the wrong person, but he didn't recognize Xiao Jun until he got closer. "Why is the sixth brother here?"

"The eldest brother knew that the prince of Zhenguo passed away last night, and he asked me to come over today to pay my respects, and he will not be free to come over until two days later." Xiao Jun has seen Xiao Xuan now, and he is still a little weak when he talks about it.

"Sister Chu, you go back and look at Brother Bin first, and I'll go back later." Xiao Xuan turned her head and said to Sister Chu beside her.

Sister Chu nodded, saluted Xiao Jun again, and ran away with her maid.

"Now that I met the sixth brother today, I also have a few words for the sixth brother to bring to the eldest brother." Waiting for Sister Chu to be completely out of sight, Xiao Xuan spoke to Xiao Jun. "I have asked someone to try to find out the whereabouts of Miss Yue's brother and sister, the eldest brother and the sixth brother should not act for the time being, if I don't get a reply in a few days, then think of other ways. If I get any other useful news, I will inform the eldest brother and the sixth brother as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I.... I'll pass it on to my eldest brother right away. Xiao Jun agreed.

"Sixth brother, I have other things to ask you." Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and asked. "Sixth brother, assuming that you and your eldest brother rescued Miss Yue's younger brother and sister, would you still want to keep Miss Yue by your side?"

"It's... I haven't really thought about it. "I didn't expect Xiao Xuan to suddenly ask such a question, and for a while, Xiao Jun couldn't make up her mind in her heart, so she had to answer Xiao Xuan like this." At that time, he proposed to make her a side concubine, which was just a hot idea. ”

"Then the sixth brother would like to listen to my thoughts?" Xiao Xuan slowly exhaled and said. "I talked to Miss Yue once before, and I think that after this matter is over, she seems to want to take her younger brother and sister back to Jiangnan to live safely. And in this matter, the sixth brother has failed the sixth sister-in-law, and it is not suitable for Miss Yue to stay in Yiwang's Mansion. ”
