Chapter 29 Preparing for Surgery
Xia Yanjing breathed a sigh of relief. Forgive him for not having seen the world. Who could be so at ease in this situation?
Seeing that Shitou was eating with great relish, Xia Yanjing took the other portion he had prepared to his father. Hong Xi was preparing to have dinner, and when she saw Xia Yanjing coming, she quickly invited him to eat together.
"Jing'er, haven't you eaten yet? Sit down and eat something together." Hong Xi walked forward and pulled Xia Yanjing to sit down.
"Dad, I've eaten. I'm here to give you the cold noodles I made." Xia Yanjing said as he put down the cold noodles.
"Okay, okay, let Dad try it." When Hong Xi heard Xia Yanjing say that he cooked, her first reaction was shock. It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Is his son preparing to marry into the family?
Hong Xi took a bite doubtfully and it was delicious. Xiao Hong ate it very gracefully. After finishing a bite, she said with surprise, "Jing'er, your cold noodles taste really good. Daddy likes it very much."
"As long as Dad likes it, I'm planning to open a noodle shop with the shop you gave me before and sell cold noodles in the summer. What do you think, Dad?"
"This cold noodle tastes so good, everyone must like it."
"That's good. If Daddy likes it, I'll make it for you later." Xia Yanjing felt proud seeing Hong Xi eating it with relish.
"Dad, please eat slowly." Xia Yanjing saw that Hong Xi was eating too fast, so he quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
"My Jing'er has really grown up." Hong Xi looked at the considerate Xia Yanjing beside him and felt very emotional. In the blink of an eye, his son was about to get married.
"No matter how old I am, I will always be your son." Xia Yanjing answered seriously.
"Yes, yes, son. I heard that the Sheng family came to our house today to give the betrothal gifts. I believe the wedding date will be set soon. You must take good care of yourself when you go to the general's mansion in the future."
"Okay, but I will live a good life in the general's mansion, so you don't have to worry." Xia Yanjing fell in love at first sight and was gradually attracted by Shengxia's personality charm. He knew that he had not fallen in love with the wrong person.
Shengxia was willing to exchange the red letter and iron certificate for the black jade ointment, which was enough to show that he cherished his family. He felt sorry for dragging him into this trap and asked for his opinion before marrying into the family. He could obviously do it with his power, but he didn't.
And he is willing to risk his life to defend the country and his family regardless of danger. It is hard not to love such a young hero and such a good summer.
"Husband, the master seems to be coming." Xiaozhu ran in hurriedly and reminded.
"Dad, I'll go first." Xia Yanjing didn't want to see his adopted father.
"Okay, come and visit us more often when you have time." Hong Xi said reluctantly.
"I understand, Dad." Xia Yanjing left through the side door, avoiding meeting Xia Zhiyong.
Xia Yanjing returned to the yard. After a busy day in the kitchen, Xia Yanjing felt that he must take a bath in the evening. Fortunately, he had a high status now, so the bathtub was soon ready.
Sitting in the bathtub, Xia Yanjing looked at his thin body and fell into deep thought. Was he too weak? Would it be inconvenient in bed?
Xia Yanjing felt that it was time for him to exercise. After all, a seventeen-year-old boy was at the age of full vigor and vitality. If he couldn't keep up the physical strength, it would be really embarrassing.
On the other side, Sheng Yuan was sitting in a wheelchair and eating with Sheng Xia. Sheng Xia said with a serious expression, "Brother, the medicinal bath will be over in two days. Have you really decided?"
"Xiao Xia, I've made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me." Sheng Yuan put down the chopsticks in his hand and answered seriously.
"I understand, big brother. The betrothal gifts have been delivered to the Marquis' Mansion today. I would like to schedule the wedding for half a month later."
"Isn't this too rushed?" Sheng Yuan was a little puzzled.
"Brother, it's already May 30th. Summer will soon arrive and the weather will get hot. I can't be distracted by other things. Nothing is more important than your legs."
"Xiao Xia, you are really wronging yourself." Sheng Yuan felt very distressed. He knew that his brother did this for him.
"Brother, I did all this voluntarily. I don't feel wronged." Shengxia's eyes were slightly red. He had been spending all these years alone and strong every day. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel wronged. He also hoped that there would be someone he could rely on when he was vulnerable, but he had no choice. He didn't want his elder brother to worry.
Sheng Yuan knew that his younger brother was a very strong person. All he could do was to cooperate with Doctor Jiang as much as possible, to cure his leg as soon as possible and help his younger brother reduce the burden.
"Then let's set it for fifteen days later. We can definitely handle it by sending more people." Sheng Yuan didn't bother about it anymore. As long as his brother was happy, that was all that mattered.
After dinner, Shengxia returned to his yard. This was where he grew up. When he got married, he would move to the general's mansion. He couldn't help feeling reluctant.
When Shengxia was lying in bed alone, Xia Yanjing's face appeared in his mind. He thought that they might be a respectful couple in the future, and perhaps God also thought that he was suitable to be alone.
The next morning, Shengxia Lei started training without fail. In twenty days or so the barbarians would enter the capital, and he could not slack off.
On the other side, Xia Yanjing got up with difficulty and started to train seriously according to the videos of fitness bloggers he saw on the Internet in his previous life. A man must be good at this.
As expected, the next day Xia Yanjing was so sore that he couldn't get up, but he knew that once he gave up, there would be countless more times to give up, so he endured the pain and continued to practice with difficulty.
On the third day, he was so sore that he didn't want to move at all. Shi Tou looked at Xia Yanjing's grinning face and couldn't help but shiver. His young master was really working too hard.
This day was also the day when Imperial Physician Jiang would perform the operation. Imperial Physician Jiang prepared everything he might need early in the morning, got on the carriage prepared by the General's Mansion and rushed to the Sheng Mansion.
Shengxia had dispatched a team of people in advance to surround the Sheng Mansion tightly. The servants who entered the main courtyard were all old people who had worked in the mansion for more than ten years, and Shengxia personally sat in the courtyard to take charge.
Doctor Jiang understood what was happening when he saw this situation. After all, if someone wanted to do something, today was indeed the best opportunity. Doctor Jiang took a deep breath and followed Butler Wu into the Sheng Mansion.
Along the way, not only were there people surrounding the yard outside, but there were also soldiers inside. Doctor Jiang, who was about to retire and had seen a lot of things, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Doctor Jiang, please come in." Shengxia couldn't eat anything early in the morning. After arranging everything, she stood guard in the main courtyard like a stone statue, and finally waited for Doctor Jiang to arrive.
"General Sheng, I will do my best to treat Lord Sheng." Doctor Jiang knew Sheng Xia's concerns and said comfortingly.
"Okay, Doctor Jiang, I leave it to you." Shengxia's heart was in turmoil at this time, but he had to hold on, because his brother was still waiting for him.
