Chapter 508 The condition has worsened
Xu Muhua was relieved to hear her say that Xu Rui was also satisfied.
What she was most worried about was that her elder brother only considered other factors and did not take her own wishes to heart. She wanted to be a matchmaker, but she did not want to lead a pair of resentful couples.
"Mom, tell me what happened!"
Xu Muhua was very gossipy and wanted to eat melons.
Hearing this, Xu Jiang stood up and said, "I'll go see mom first."
It was not convenient for him to listen to them talking about girls' things, especially if one of them would become his daughter-in-law in the future if nothing unexpected happened. It would be even more inconvenient to listen.
Xu Muhua remembered what happened last time and asked hurriedly: "Dad, Mom, is grandma in good health recently? When I came back last time, grandma had a cough. I don't know if she is better now."
When the couple mentioned this, their brows were stained with worry.
Seeing this, Xu Muhua's heart sank, and she stood up as well, "I'll go see grandma first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Xu's mother thought it was a good idea, maybe the old lady would be happy to see Muhua coming back, and her mood would improve, and her body would get better.
"Then let's go and see together!"
On the way, Xu's mother told her about the old lady's condition.
It's nothing more than that the elderly are old, and once they feel uncomfortable, they will recover slowly.
Last time, the old lady did have a cough, and she took medicine and seemed to be getting better slowly. But something unexpected happened, and in the end, not only did she not get better, but there were signs of worsening!
Xu's mother was very worried, but she didn't dare to say it. The
old lady is indeed old, and if she is not careful, what if...
Xu's mother didn't dare to think about that possibility.
Arriving at the old lady's yard, Xu Muhua was very sensitive to the tense and solemn atmosphere. When she entered the room and saw the old lady lying on the bed, she understood and her mood became heavy.
"Grandma."
Xu Muhua sat down beside the bed, reached out and gently held the old lady's hand, and called softly.
The old lady opened her eyes and looked around to see who was sitting beside the bed. Her whole face seemed to brighten up. "It's Muhua. Why are you back?"
"I was worried about my family. I came back to see if everything was fine in the Eastern Palace."
The old lady held her hand and kept muttering, "You, don't be willful after entering the Eastern Palace. How can you always go to your mother's house? Everything is fine at home. Your mother is here. You don't have to worry. Take care of yourself and the prince. That's the serious thing..."
Xu Muhua listened patiently. No matter what the old lady said, she agreed with a serious face. Seeing this, the old lady was relieved.
After talking to the old lady for a while, Xu Muhua watched the old lady fall asleep, and then walked out.
"Dad, Mom, have you asked the imperial physician to come back to the house to take a look?"
Xu Muhua asked.
General Xu said, "I was thinking of going to the palace to ask the imperial physician to come back for a checkup these two days."
"Dad, don't wait, let's go and ask him now! The longer we delay, the more harmful it will be to grandma's health."
"That's right, I'll do it right away."
Xu Muhua handed him the East Palace's sign and asked him to take the East Palace's sign to invite the imperial physician.
After General Xu left, Xu's mother said, "The reason why your eldest brother's marriage is arranged so anxiously is that your grandmother is not feeling well now. I think it would be a happy thing to arrange it as soon as possible. Maybe your grandmother will get better if she is happy."
Xu Muhua didn't know what she was thinking of. She frowned and asked, "Mother, did your eldest brother agree to this marriage because of this relationship?"
Xu's mother didn't hide it from her, "There are some reasons in this regard. But your eldest brother also said that he has a good impression of Miss Geng. Anyway, they are going to get married. No matter who they marry, as long as this person is suitable and can support the backyard of the Chengguo Mansion in the future, it will be fine."
Xu Muhua didn't know what to say about this.
From her modern perspective, such a marriage is of course not acceptable. But this is ancient times. In this world, such a marriage is normal.
But Geng Zhiqiu is indeed a good girl.
She asked Wu Ya to inquire about Geng Zhiqiu's life from childhood to adulthood. No matter from which aspect, Geng Zhiqiu is a girl who can live together.
Thinking of this, Xu Muhua felt relieved.
Even if there is no affection now, after getting married and spending more time together, big brother and Geng Zhiqiu will definitely develop feelings.
But big brother should not do anything that scumbags do. For example, going to the border for a few years, bringing back a woman, running to his wife and saying that he wants to marry this woman and so on. If
big brother does such a thing, big brother will just deny it!
The main account is useless, don't we still have Anan as the secondary account?
Should we start instilling some necessary ideas into Anan from now on? In case he becomes a scumbag in the future?
"Mom, if we are in such a rush, can we prepare it?"
"It is indeed a little late, but I have discussed it with Madam Geng, and Madam Geng said that as long as we give them the respect that the Chengguo Mansion should give, the Geng family will not have any objections. I thought that if we were a little anxious when we got engaged, and some things were not done properly, it would be the same to make up for it when we got married."
In short, they are very sincere in wanting to get married.
The reason why they are so anxious is, firstly, the old lady's health, they really have some thoughts on it, and secondly, won't the eldest brother go back to the border soon? If he leaves, wouldn't the engagement seem even more frivolous and not taken seriously?
Xu Muhua thought about it and felt that this was also the case.
"How about this, mother, when the betrothal gift is decided, I will have someone send a set of jewelry out, and then I will have my eldest brother bring it to your house."
"You don't need to come, there are more in the warehouse!"
Xu Muhua shook his head, "Mother, this is different, I am a member of the East Palace now. The things from the East Palace are naturally more expensive than usual, and they can also reflect the attitude and sincerity of our Chengguo Mansion."
Xu's mother was silent after hearing this.
After a while, she said, "Okay, let's do as you say!"
Xu Muhua thought that when the time comes, she will ask her eldest brother Feng to buy a set of glass products, which will be more decent.
Xu Muhua sent a message back to the East Palace, saying that she wanted to stay in the Chengguo Mansion for one night because the old lady was not feeling well, and as a granddaughter, she should be filial. Not to mention that the Chengguo Mansion adopted her and treated her very well. Now she should repay the old lady and be filial to her.
No one can say that this reason is wrong.
Pei Shaorong received the message she sent, and of course she agreed. She also asked someone to find some precious medicinal materials in the warehouse of the East Palace and sent them to the Chengguo Mansion, still in the name of the prince.
