Chapter 388 I'll Treat You to a Good Show Later

Someone asked, "Whose daughter is she?"

Li Chunhua exclaimed, a little confused: "... the auspicious day will be chosen in a few days. Now that we haven't come to the house yet, it's not easy to say which one it is, right?"

What if something goes wrong? Will it affect other people's reputation?

Li Chunhua's thoughts are very simple.

Others who listened also felt that the women of the Zhenxi General's Mansion were not, as the outside world had speculated, peasants from the countryside who had no knowledge of etiquette at all.

Look at them, how honest they are.

Thinking of this, these ladies felt even more regretful. How could someone else have gotten there first?

However, I heard that there was not only one promising person in the Zhenxi General's Mansion, but also a young Sanyuan Jieyuan.

By the time the imperial examination comes next spring, he will probably have secured the title of Jinshi.

Although his status is not as prominent as that of the Zhenxi General, the Yu family has a Zhenxi General of the third rank, and a Jinshi, who is both civil and military, which is also very good!

Many ladies began to think about it.

——Most of those who can come to the birthday banquet of the old lady of Weibei Marquis have very good family backgrounds. They may not be willing to marry their legitimate daughter to a Jinshi, but... In addition to the legitimate daughter, there are also concubines in the family!

Using my concubine's daughter to arrange this marriage seems... quite cost-effective?

Thinking of this, many ladies smiled again and asked Li Chunhua about Liu Ge'er: "...I heard that the Zhenxi General has a younger brother who won the third place in the imperial examination? It's true that heroes emerge young. I just don't know if the Jie Yuangong has told him about him?"

Li Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, "...Although I didn't mention them, our brother Liu said before that he is now focusing on his studies and can't care about anything else."

This statement attracted praises from many ladies, and some of them had already invited the women of the Yu family to visit them.

Li Chunhua was surrounded by several ladies and was at a loss as to what to do when Nan Yan arrived.

Nan Yan looked different from her usual smiling face. She raised her voice and called out, "Madam Wei, Madam Li, and Miss Xing Xing... our old lady wants to see you."

Many people in this warm pavilion knew that Nan Yan was a maid who was highly valued by the old lady of Weibei Marquis. Immediately, all the scrutinizing eyes turned to Wei Po Zi, Li Chunhua, and Xing Xing.

Nan Yan asked Mrs. Wei and the others to leave. The Nuan Pavilion became quiet for a moment, but then returned to its previous noisy state.

Especially the ladies from the Weibei Marquis's Mansion who were in charge of entertaining guests in the warm pavilion all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Early this morning, their mother-in-law sent a message to each of their courtyards, saying that it snowed suddenly last night and she was not feeling well, so the banquet might have to be cancelled.

This frightened the masters of the Weibei Marquis's mansion so much that they all rushed to the courtyard of the Weibei Marquis's old lady.

The court physician was also in the yard, checking the pulse of the old lady of Weibei Marquis, who looked extremely unwell.

The court doctor's face was not looking good either. He prescribed a lot of medicine with a serious look and reminded the old lady of Weibei Marquis to take good care of herself and not to do this or that. He gave more than ten instructions in total, and it looked like the old lady of Weibei Marquis was about to fly away.

At this moment, the expressions of the people in the several rooms were really varied.

The old lady of Weibei Marquis narrowed her eyes slightly and looked a little weak, but in fact, she was quietly looking at the people in the mansion.

As the eldest son of the heir, Marquis Weibei said at the time that since his mother was not feeling well, the birthday party should be cancelled.

Later, the old lady of Weibei Marquis sighed again: "Forget it... With my current health, I don't know how many birthday parties I can have. Anyway, you guys can help me entertain the guests, and I will just show up during the banquets, that's all."

In the end, the birthday party of the old lady of Weibei Marquis was not cancelled.

However, there are quite a few guests coming now, but the old lady of Weibei Marquis has never said who she wants to see.

When the Yu family arrived, they had not stayed for long before the seriously ill old lady of Weibei Marquis asked her most favored maid, Nan Yan, to come and tell them to leave.

No wonder the ladies of Weibei Marquis' Mansion all looked a little strange.

At this moment, Mrs. Wei and the others who were following Nan Yan into the inner room naturally had no idea what was going on. However, when they saw that Nan Yan had a stern face and was not as cheerful as usual, they wondered in their hearts what had happened.

When they arrived at the inner room, the smell of medicine was very strong. In the room, besides the old lady of Weibei Marquis sitting on the bed, there was also a maid dressed simply, who was sitting on the stool beside the bed and reading a travel book to her.

At first glance, the old lady of Weibei Marquis's face looked indeed gloomy.

But Xingxing had seen the efficacy of the pill taken by the old lady of Marquis Weibei in the carriage when she went to the Marquis Jiangtai's Mansion with her. Xingxing couldn't help but wonder if the old lady of Marquis Weibei had used the pill again.

But Mrs. Wei and Li Chunhua didn't know about this.

When they saw the pale face of the old lady of Weibei Marquis, they were all shocked: "Old lady, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

The old lady of Weibei Marquis chatted with Mrs. Wei and Li Chunhua for a while: "Alas, it snowed last night. When I got up, I felt a little unwell. The court doctor came to see me and said that I was seriously ill and needed to take medicine to recuperate."

Mrs. Wei nodded repeatedly: "It is inevitable that people will not get sick in their lifetime. If you are sick, just take medicine to cure it. The old lady is a lucky person, and she will be fine."

The old lady of Weibeihou nodded weakly.

Xing Xing stepped forward, bowed to the old lady of Weibei Marquis, and asked tentatively: "Old lady, how about I take your pulse?"

The old lady of Weibei Marquis knew that she couldn't hide her pulse from Xingxing, and she didn't want to hide it from Xingxing. She coughed twice and said, "No need... Actually, it's nothing serious. The court doctor has already examined me and prescribed medicine."

With just this one sentence, Xing Xing knew that the old lady of Weibei Marquis's illness was indeed fake.

Xingxing nodded calmly and said nothing else.

Mrs. Wei didn't care about it. She chatted with the old lady of Weibei Hou for a few more words, then stood up consciously, saying that she would not disturb the old lady's rest.

The old lady of Weibei Hou coughed and asked Xingxing to stay, saying that it was to "relieve boredom".

Mrs. Wei was very confident in the old lady of Weibei Marquis. After giving Xingxing a few instructions, she said goodbye to Li Chunhua and left.

As soon as Mrs. Wei and Li Chunhua left, the weakness on the face of the old lady of Weibei Marquis disappeared immediately. Although her face still looked a little gray, she smiled at Xingxing with a little complacency between her eyebrows: "...I did a good job this time, didn't I? The palace doctor couldn't find any flaws in me."

"Not bad, not bad." Xing Xing gave high praise, and at the same time was a little curious, "Madam, did you encounter any problems when you used this medicine today?"

When she mentioned this, a hint of coldness flashed across the eyes of the old lady of Weibei Marquis. She sneered, her voice still carrying a bit of hoarseness from illness: "Xingxing, I'll treat you to a good show later."
