Chapter 58: What Life Is Like

Wu Xiao finished handling government affairs late at night and was about to leave the study when the guards outside came in to report, "Master Li has something to ask to see, and he has been waiting outside for a long time"

Wu Xiao was a little surprised, when would Li Mao still come to this set, so he motioned for the guards to call in the future.

It's just that Li Mao is not the only one who came in, there is also a young man in his early thirties with a calm bearing, but he is Li Mao's eldest son.

"Li Mao greets the lord," he said, knelt on the ground and buckled his three heads, and the young man behind him also knelt down with him.

Wu Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Sir, why should you be like this, you and I don't have to be so formal."

"Having said that, it's just that today is different from the past" Li Mao's face was sad

"How to say this, I'm confused," Wu Xiao said

"The old minister is already seriously ill, I'm afraid that time is running out, and I've been dizzy recently, I don't know why" Li Mao said softly

"This is true, it can be seen by the red fish," Wu Xiao exclaimed

"Madame has already seen it, these words are exactly what Madame said," Li Mao said non-conformously

Wu Xiao immediately felt a burst of emptiness, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, Li Maoshi is the head of Mobei's government affairs, Nuoda Mobei, he handles all things big and small in an orderly manner, although there are occasional corruption and bribery, but it is harmless, Wu Xiao has always relied on it very much.

If there is no him, Wu Xiaozhen doesn't know who else can take responsibility, he has always been not good at government affairs, and every time he encounters trivial political and business matters, he has a headache.

"You go home and recuperate, don't worry too much" Wu Xiao comforted him

"The old minister came here tonight for a matter, and I hope to entrust it to the lord," Li Mao said solemnly

"Sir, just talk about it," Wu Xiao said

"This is my eldest son Li Shen, who has been walking in the Senate, and is already quite familiar with the affairs of Mobei, and he is careful and cautious

This person Wu Xiao also heard a little before, knew a thing or two, and immediately said: "I also have this intention, Mr. can recuperate in the house, if he is really unfortunate to pass away, I will take care of Mr. family."

"I don't have time to recuperate, if the marshal agrees, before I die, I will pass on the connections, news channels, and confidential lines in my hands to him, but the time is urgent, I'm afraid that there will be a miss" Li Mao said urgently

He has always been calm, but now that life and death are just around the corner, no matter how calm he is, he is in a hurry.

Wu Xiao pondered for a while and said, "Go ahead, act confidentially, don't be too anxious"

Turned to Li Shen and said, "Good students take care of your father, because you have to work too hard."

Li Mao and Li Shen got up and left after bowing, Wu Xiao sighed and sat on the chair, at this time he really realized the impermanence of the world.

After a while, he got up and walked to the inner court, and after coming to Mobei, Hongyu was not in a hurry and reopened the Shoushan Hall, but recuperated in the back court of the Shuai Mansion, sorted out some medical manuscripts, and carefully digested and studied the secret records of the King of Medicine, and gradually mastered the acupuncture method of the Tianshi Five Elements Needle, and entered another level on the medical road.

Wu Xiaoxin walked up to the second gear, pushed open the wooden door with a bean yellow light, Hongyu raised her head from the case, and when she saw Wu Xiao entering the house, she got up with a busy smile, picked up a bowl of soup on the table and drank it with Wu Xiao.

"Have you seen Li Mao's illness?" Wu Xiao asked

"When I went out two days ago, I bumped into him, and when I saw that he was not looking good, I called him a pulse, and he was really terminally ill, and his spleen was already swollen and necrotic, and I was afraid that time was running out," Hongyu said

"Hey, life is really impermanent, I thought he could walk with me for a little longer," Wu Xiao sighed

"The world is like this, but you still don't see it," Redfish said

"But he told me something else," Redfish added

"What's the matter?" Wu Xiao asked strangely

"He said that the two of us have been without heirs for so many years, and there are many doubts in the political and military departments of Mobei, you are now the king of Mobei, if you have no heirs for a long time, there will be no problems in a short time, and I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable as time goes by" Hongyu looked at him and said slowly.

Wu Xiao stood up, walked around the room twice, and said, "What kind of problem do you say, my problem?"

Hongyu looked at him and shook his head, with a sad cry on his face, "It's not your problem, it's my problem, I was actually pregnant when I was in Jiangnan, but I was careless, I didn't notice it, the horse was bumpy on the road, and I had a miscarriage, but I didn't tell you"

Speaking of this, Hongyu was already in tears, and his body couldn't help himself, Wu Xiao stepped forward to hug him and caress her back.

"Since then, I've found it very difficult to conceive a baby," Redfish twitched.

"Is there a way to adjust," Wu Xiao asked

"This matter, it's not my good thing, I searched all the medical books, but I didn't have a good solution, I have to have a chance to find another doctor to see" Hongyu said softly, her mood improved a little

"Don't worry about this matter, I'll work harder," Wu Xiao said

"If you say anything that is not serious, I will die in a hurry," the red fish froze.

"Otherwise, you can take another concubine, I think Yan Nu is good, and she seems to be interesting to you," Hongyu said tentatively

Wu Xiao raised her head, straightened her body, and said solemnly: "Don't talk about these stupid things again"

Hearing Wu Xiao say this, Hongyu's heart was happy and sad, and he didn't know how to express it for a while, but the tears had already flowed down his eyes and face, and flowed down quietly.

A few days later, one morning, Zhaohu came to the downstairs of Hongyu early, and when Wu Xiao pushed the door out, he saw Zhaohu circling in the courtyard downstairs, and he felt strange.

"What do you have to do, you've been going around here all morning," Wu Xiao asked

Zhaohu blushed, all the time I, I, mine didn't say it, Hongyu also walked out, and said with a smile: "Ah Hu is going to get married."

Zhaohu was surprised for a while, and exclaimed: "How does Sister know?"

"Who can you hide from you, you can only hide it from Xiaoxiao," Hongyu Lian said downstairs

Wu Xiao followed behind and laughed, "Which girl, won't it be Yan Nu?"

"No, no, no, how could it be her" Zhaohu hurriedly waved his hand

"It's Dong Tong's youngest daughter," Zhao Hu lowered his head and said softly

Wu Xiao thought about it for a while and said, "Oh, it's Dong Zhengshen's daughter, yes, when are you going to get married?"

"Just wait for the eldest brother and sister to agree," Zhaohu said innocently

"What's not allowed here, as long as you like it," Wu Xiao patted him on the shoulder

"On the twelfth of this month, the day after tomorrow, when the eldest brother and sister will come to officiate the wedding for me," Zhaohu said eagerly

"No problem, if you have a vacation these days, I will configure a set of yards for you near the left, you go back and prepare" Wu Xiao laughed

When Zhaohu heard this, he left in a hurry.

The wedding on this day was very lively, Wu Xiao set up a three-entry courtyard for Zhaohu not far from the Shuaifu, and all the commanders and middle-level generals in the army were present to congratulate, and there were also many civil officials.

Wu Xiao and Hongyu, as Zhaohu's family, also as the chief and the housewife, officiated at his wedding, the army did not talk about the customs of the Central Plains, under the instigation of everyone, Zhaohu opened the bride's red hijab on the spot, and ended it with a Peugeot bride, gentle and true.

Redfish and the two old women pulled the bride into the room, leaving a group of men to slam the tiger outside.

And in a shadow of the courtyard, a smaller figure, drinking sullen wine in an independent and lonely manner, no one dared to sit at the table with her even on such a festive day.

Zhaohu smoked a wine jar and walked over boldly: "How about it, do you want to toast me?"

Yan Nu lifted a jar and touched it on Zhaohu's wine jar: "I salute you for a jar, do you dare to drink it?"

"If you don't dare, drink it" Zhaohu glared at the bull's eye, raised his head and did it, Yan Nu did not show weakness, and hugged the wine jar and went down.

After a while, the two jars fell on the table together, Yan Nu looked at Zhaohu, wiped her mouth and said, "I still look like a man today."

After saying that, she stumbled a little, and it seemed that she couldn't hold on to a jar of wine.

"Hehe, of course I'm a man, what do you mean by being like a man, I'll drink with you next time, see who drinks whom" Zhaohu left the table with a hum, and he finally found some ground.
