Chapter 509 Are You Really Willing to Marry Miss Geng?
Xu Rui also came back at this time, and sat in the hall with Xu Muhua, one on the left and one on the right. Xu Jinyu sat next to her, and only Xu Nan had not returned from school yet.
The three of them looked inside from time to time, not knowing what the result would be.
After a long time, the imperial physician came out, with General Xu walking in front and Xu's mother lagging behind a little.
"Imperial physician, how is my grandmother?"
The imperial physician said carefully: "The old lady is old, and the previous cold was not a big deal, but she has not fully recovered and has a cold. In addition, the old lady was injured when she was young, leaving some hidden dangers. Now that she is old, just an ordinary cold can cause big problems."
In other words, she caught a cold first, and then she developed a cold, which triggered some hidden dangers left over from her youth.
Several people were nervous.
"Doctor, what should we do now?" "
I have already written the prescription. The old lady's condition is not suitable for strong medicine. We can only slowly adjust her and stabilize her before considering other things. If she is carefully cared for and properly adjusted, the old lady can still recover."
"But after all, she is old. No matter what, she can't recover to the state of her youth. You have to be careful in the future and don't let this happen again."
General Xu bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Doctor."
The doctor avoided the question and said, "The Duke is seriously ill. This is my duty."
Xu's mother ordered the servants to follow the doctor to get the prescription and the medicine, and sent the doctor out before turning back.
Seeing that everyone was frowning, Xu's mother said loudly: "Why are you all frowning? Didn't the imperial physician say that as long as the old lady is properly treated, she will recover soon. People will have to go through these when they get older. As a family, the only thing we have to do is to take good care of her!"
"If the old lady sees you like this, she will also be in a bad mood. How can she recover? Cheer up, everyone. The old lady is blessed with a long life and will be safe in the end!"
Xu's mother gave General Xu a look, and the couple walked aside to talk in private.
"I think now, in addition to the old lady's health, there is another important matter. We invited the imperial physician to come back to the mansion to treat the old lady. The palace must know about this. The emperor may ask the imperial physician to go over and question her." As soon as
Xu's mother said this, General Xu knew what she meant.
He frowned and thought for a long time before he let out a breath from his chest, "I will think about this carefully."
Seeing the fatigue in his eyes, Xu's mother felt distressed. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start.
This was not a simple officialdom matter. There were too many things involved. As a woman, she didn't understand the game. But she knew that if she was not careful, the glory of the Chengguo Mansion for hundreds of years, which had been fought for with blood by generations, would vanish in an instant.
Finally, Xu's mother just said, "Don't forget, you still have me and a few children behind you."
Xu Jiang looked up at her, his heart moved, he couldn't help but reach out and hold her close, restrained and kissed her on the forehead, his voice a little hoarse: "You have worked hard for so many years."
Xu's mother shook her head, "Compared to us, you and the eldest brother are the hardest-working ones."
They are in the capital after all, and life in the capital is much better than the border. They have fine clothes and food, no worries about food and drink, ice in the hot summer, and floor heating in the cold winter, comfortable. Unlike them, the conditions at the border are so harsh.
She still remembers that when the eldest brother just went to the border and came back for the first time, she almost couldn't recognize him. That was the handsome and handsome prince of the Duke's Mansion in the capital. He was thin and dark, like a monkey being abused.
Later, the eldest son adapted to the life at the border and gradually became normal. Later, she found out that the eldest son had been seriously ill when he first passed away and almost died! When she found out, she wanted to let the eldest son come back without caring about anything.
Xu Jiang also felt a little sorry for his eldest son.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and then they quickly let go when they remembered that there were several children in the house. However, Xu Jiang still held her hand and returned to the house calmly.
The children looked normal when they saw this. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and atmosphere, Xu Muhua would have wanted to boldly tease her parents.
"You have all heard what the imperial physician said just now. You have all grown up, and there is no need for us to say anything else. The most important thing next is to take good care of the old lady. Big brother, you should prepare for your marriage and pick an auspicious day to go and propose marriage!"
They had talked about this before, and Xu Rui did not have any special reaction when he heard her say this. He nodded, "Mom, I have no opinion on this matter, you can arrange it! If there is anything you need me to do, you can tell me."
He had no experience in getting married, and he did not know what he should do. He only knew the general idea.
"Okay, then mom will ask a matchmaker to find a good day and ask the matchmaker to go and propose marriage!"
Of course, if you want to formally propose marriage, you have to inform the woman in advance to avoid any embarrassing things.
"Brother, have you made up your mind? Do you really want to marry the young lady of the Geng family?"
Xu Muhua asked when she had the chance.
Xu Rui looked at her in surprise, "Why do you ask that? Is there anything wrong with this young lady of the Geng family?"
He frowned and said seriously, "If that's the case, I have to stop mother in time. If there is something wrong with this young lady of the Geng family, this marriage will never happen!"
He was about to go to find Xu's mother.
Xu Muhua was startled and stopped him in a hurry, "Brother, wait a minute!"
She just wanted to ask, when did they say that there was something wrong with the young lady of the Geng family? Brother is really good at making up his mind!
Xu Rui was stopped by her, and when he turned around, she saw that he was smiling, obviously teasing her.
Xu Muhua: "..."
She immediately counterattacked: "It seems that big brother is very satisfied with Miss Geng, so he got nervous when he heard what I said. It is said that a man forgets his mother after marrying a wife, but big brother, you have thrown your own sister aside before you marry a wife!"
Xu Rui reached out and knocked her on the forehead in annoyance, "Nonsense, blaming others! I heard that it was you who proposed Miss Geng to mother, and now you are biting back?"
Xu Muhua said righteously: "I am worried because big brother is old and still has no marriage. That's why he immediately thought of you, big brother, when he saw a good girl. Big brother, you don't work hard, so I, as your sister, can only work hard. It is difficult to find a sister as good and considerate as me in the world! Big brother, you must cherish her!"
