Chapter 288: Deliberations
The county lord of Duansu knew that Duan Shaolan was resting today, and he and Xiao Xuan came early, so he was not in a hurry to talk about the matter to be discussed with them today, so he welcomed them and his wife into their courtyard with Brother Min.
It just so happened that Duan Chengwen was also in the house today, and I heard that they came over with Brother Min, and they also came out.
"Alright, don't talk outside." Lord Duansu said to them. "Brother Min didn't sleep well, let's take him in, have you had breakfast?"
"Brother Min got up early and cried for a while, and the two of us didn't care about eating in order to coax him." Xiao Xuan gently patted Brother Min'er's back, scratched his head and said to the Duansu County Lord.
"Then hurry up and go in and sit down, and give me Brother Min first." I will take care of him for you, and you will have breakfast before you talk about anything else. ”
After Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan followed Lord Duansu into the house, only Brother Bin sat alone at the big table in the main hall. He was already able to sit alone in a special chair, eating obediently with a spoon.
"Brother and sister-in-law." Brother Bin'er saw them and called people very politely.
"Give me Brother Min." The county lord of Duansu instructed the maid to add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and asked Xiao Xuan to hand over Brother Min to her. "We used to eat lighter in the morning, and I don't know if the princess is used to eating it. If you really don't like to eat, just let me know, and I'll let the kitchen prepare it for you again. ”
"I'm not picky, mother." After Duan Shaolan sat down, he first served Xiao Xuan a bowl of porridge, and Xiao Xuan smiled and said to the county lord of Duansu. "Mother is very well prepared here, Shaolan and I can just use some casually."
When Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan were having breakfast, the county lord of Duansu walked to the side and sat down with Brother Min in his arms, and Brother Bin picked up the toys in his hand very enthusiastically.
"Give!" Brother Bin gave the toy to Brother Min.
Brother Min, who had been staring at him all the way, finally got energetic when he saw the novel toy, and his little face suddenly became elated, and he started to play happily with the toy given by Brother Bin.
When Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan finished breakfast, the county lord of Duansu drove Sister Chu to take Brother Bin and Brother Min to her house to play.
"Then I'll go down with my brother and little nephew." Sister Chu has always been well-behaved and sensible, she has seen and remembered the recent changes in the Zhenguo Mansion, she knows that Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan came early in the morning, it must be their father and mother who have something important to discuss with them, so even if she is curious, she still obediently agrees.
"Well, let's go with the nurse." Xiao Xuan instructed the nurse to go out with Sister Chu.
Sister Chu left, and the inconsequential maids in the main hall dispersed, leaving only the green forest that Xiao Xuan followed and a few henchmen and maids who were beside the county lord of Duansu.
"Bringing your husband and wife back today is indeed something important to tell you." Before the county lord of Duansu could speak, Duan Chengwen, who had always been quiet at home, spoke. "Now that your eldest uncle is seriously ill, your eldest aunt saw that he was seriously ill and had become more and more covered, so she still sent someone to invite Doctor Shi. Dr. Shi made a diagnosis, saying that it was because the disease had been delayed for a long time and he had no ability to return to heaven. ”
Xiao Xuan was shocked when she heard this, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Duan Shaolan beside her, who reached out to hold her hand comfortingly.
"Is the illness of the eldest uncle really the unspeakable kind?" It's not easy to ask about this matter as Xiao Xuan, Duan Shaolan asked.
"I sent someone to see the house where your uncle kept the outer room, and the woman he kept outside was more seriously ill than his, and died five days ago." The Zhenguo Mansion has not completely relieved his breath because of the previous incident with Duan Shaoyou, and the prince of Zhenguo is now suffering from such a disease, even if Duan Chengwen is no longer used to him, he also knows that if such a thing spreads in the future, the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion will only stink even more. "The people in the house have already been dealt with, and Dr. Shi has also made a diagnosis, and Dr. Shi also said that your uncle is only a few days old. I'm afraid it's not good to keep this kind of thing from your grandfather anymore. ”
Speaking of which, Zhenguo Gong has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he seems to be in good spirits, but in fact, because he has suffered many injuries and illnesses, he is not as healthy as he imagined.
Before, Zhenguo Gong was angry that Zhenguo Gongzi and his wife were not strict in teaching their children, causing such an unbearable thing, and after the family law was moved to Zhenguo Gongshi twice, Zhenguo Gong was also sick for a few days.
But in any case, no matter what kind of thing the prince of Zhenguo does, he is the eldest son of the prince of Zhenguo who once had high hopes, and now he is not only infected with an unspeakable dirty disease because of raising an outer room, but also has to lose his life because of it.
Now the wife of the prince of Zhenguo is also too sick to get up, and the burden of explaining this matter to the prince of Zhenguo is so on Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord. It's just that the two of them were really worried about Zhen Guogong's aged health and didn't know how to talk about it to Zhen Guogong, so they specially sent someone to invite Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan back to discuss.
"Didn't grandfather go out to visit friends?" Zhenguo Gongzi does not like to be restrained, and all the sons in the family have grown up, and for several months of the year, he will go out to visit friends who are not in the imperial capital. "Does my father know when my grandfather will return from this trip?"
"Your grandfather sent a message back a month ago, and he has already led people on his way home, and I am thinking about the days, and he will be back in these two days." It is precisely because the Duke of Zhenguo has been absent from the Mansion recently, Duan Chengwen has a lot of affairs on his hands, and the Lord of Duansu County has taken over the internal affairs of the Mansion in a comprehensive manner, that the wife of the Prince of Zhenguo was able to hide the fact that her husband was seriously ill and almost dying.
Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi even rushed to the second room to ask for help from the county lord Duansu before the condition of Zhenguo Gongzi's condition completely deteriorated, and set up a family affair for Sister Zhen'er. This time, Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi chose a family affair for Sister Zhen'er, and the relationship between her in-laws and brothers and sisters in the family is harmonious, and the future concubine's family affairs are not as high as Sister Zhen'er, and this family affair is very affordable for Sister Zhu.
In addition, the person who came forward to protect the media was still the lord of Duansu County, and after the two families officially exchanged Geng posts, the princess of Zhenguo finally got her wish. The sons will have an inheritance no matter what the future is, and she has found a suitable marriage for Sister Yan'er, so that Sister Yan can rely on her for life.
"Since my grandfather will be back soon, things will not be delayed." Duan Shaolan pondered for a moment. "The eldest aunt is the wife of the eldest uncle, even if the father and mother have to talk about this matter, they still have to discuss it with the eldest aunt to unify their voices. After all, the cause of the eldest uncle's illness is difficult to say, if the eldest uncle really dies in the future, relatives and old relatives will come to the funeral. ”
If the real cause of the prince of Zhenguo is spread, even if the family will not withdraw from the family in the face of the county lord of Duansu and the mansion of Zhenguo, it will hinder the reputation of Sister Zhen'er in the future.
The reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion and the reputation of Sister Yan must be preserved.
"Dr. Shi has a very good personal relationship with your grandfather, so don't worry too much. The doctor who has seen your uncle before, and your aunt has also taken care of it. Duansu said. You're right, this matter must be covered up. When I go back, I will ask your aunt to come over and discuss, but I have to settle on an external statement. It is not good to say the wrong thing, and it is not good to say the wrong thing and miss the tone. ”
"When the matter is settled, the princess and I will come over again, mother, don't worry. The eldest uncle's outer chamber is dead, and as long as this matter is covered smoothly, there will be no worries. I know my sister's future husband, although I am not familiar with her, but I have also said a few words. I went back to him for a meal and told him to treat his sister well in the future. ”
"Well, you are Sister Yan'er's cousin, her own brother can't take care of her, and you should do something for her." Although Duan Chengwen has a good relationship with the sons of Zhenguo Gong, the children of Zhenguo Gong are all of the Duan family's blood, as long as they can take care of it, Duan Chengwen still hopes that the next generation of Duan family children will have a harmonious relationship.
Although Sister Yan'er's husband is not as good as the Zhenguo Mansion, he is also a rare child.
Such in-laws are also rare.
"In addition, there is Sister Chu's marriage. Speaking of which, Sister Chu and Sister Chu are only one month apart, and now that Sister Chu'er's marriage is decided, it's our Sister Chu's turn. "After the matter of the prince of Zhenguo was agreed, the county lord of Duansu took the initiative to bring up another matter.
Xiao Xuan, who was inconvenient to speak before, had been sitting next to Duan Shaolan and listening quietly, and at this time, the county lord of Duansu talked about Sister Chu's marriage, and she finally had a chance to speak.
"What my mother said is that Sister Chu'er is not too young to be young, if there is a suitable candidate, it would be good to settle down as soon as possible." Xiao Xuan said with a smile echoing the words of the Duansu County Lord.
"It's the child of my mother's family, the Xian Wang's house, and the princess saw it last time." Speaking of his own nephew, Lord Duansu is a good boy who feels very satisfied from the bottom of his heart. "Regardless of family background and appearance, Sister Chu is more than enough. He is the third son of my eldest brother, and Sister Chu is not the eldest daughter-in-law of the deceased head of the family when she marries, which is also suitable for Sister Chu. ”
"If my father and mother really agree with my cousin, let's settle it." Duan Shaolan said with a smile. "Uncle and aunt are also kind to Sister Chu on weekdays, Cousin Yu has won a reputation in the imperial examination this time, and Sister Chu will be considered a good son-in-law in the future."
"Isn't it?" Lord Duansu said with some excitement. "My father values Brother Yu'er, and he has already entrusted the relationship and invited Da Confucian to read Brother Yu'er's article, saying that if there is no accident, Brother Ya'er will definitely be on the list."
