Chapter 1252 Sadness
Xia Zihan suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Despite her medical skills, great wealth, and filial piety, and with a lot of precious medicinal materials piled up in the warehouse, she could not keep a grandmother, even for a few more years.
Xia Zihan blinked his dry eyes and said bitterly, "Thank you, Master. Also, I have been very helpful to Master in the past few years."
"Girl, when did you and Master become so alienated?" Doctor Bai looked at her seriously, "Back then, if you and the old lady hadn't taken Yue Xi and me in, we might still be wandering around without a home. Where is the place?”
"Now, Yuexi is married to such a good wife as Qinghui. She has work to do and has three sons. All of these are given by the old lady. I owe the old lady a favor to take care of her. , is what I should do, but it’s a pity that Master can no longer retain the old lady for you.”
Doctor Bai also felt very sad on his face.
Mrs. Zeng was an excellent old man. She was good to him, Master Qi, and Yue Xi. She never treated them badly when they were living in the Chu family. She always greeted them and sent people to take good care of them. Treat them like family members.
In fact, he and Master Qi have each bought a house outside. However, they have lived in Chu Mansion for more than ten years and have long been accustomed to every plant and tree here, as well as the delicious food cooked by the cook here. The smell made them reluctant to move out and start a new business.
When Zeng woke up again, it was already midnight, and Xia Zihan, who had been keeping her awake all night, noticed it as soon as she woke up.
She hurriedly helped Zeng, who was struggling to sit up, and said, "Grandma, you're awake. Are you hungry? There is warm food in the kitchen, as well as soup. Can we take the soup first?"
"Okay." Zeng responded blankly.
Seeing that the oil lamp was lit in the house and it was dark outside, she asked, "Ayu, what time is it?"
"Chou Shizhong." Xia Zihan glanced at the hourglass in the corner and replied. He took a large pillow and placed it behind Zeng's back so that she could lean on it more comfortably.
"It's so late?" Ms. Zeng was stunned, "I'm really hungry, Ayu. Grandma is not lying down anymore. You help her get up. I slept a little too much today. Grandma's bones are so lazy."
As people age and their bones become weak, they often feel pain here and there. If it is a minor pain, Zeng will never complain about it in front of Xia Zihan, fearing that she will worry.
It was so painful that she couldn't help but say a word.
Having said that, when she saw her precious granddaughter looking worried, she regretted it and hurriedly made up for it, "I just slept too much. Grandma is fine. Don't worry."
It’s all like this, what’s better?
Xia Zihan felt sad in his heart, but forced a smile on his face, "Then I will wait on my grandmother to dress."
In the outhouse, the maids heard the commotion and brought hot water. Together with Xia Zihan, they helped Zeng wash up. After finishing, they helped Zeng go to the outhouse.
Mother Su had already led the maids and women to put the food on the table. Seeing Xia Zihan helping Mrs. Zeng out, Mother Su hurriedly stepped forward and took the old lady's other hand to sit down at the table.
Xia Zihan picked up a bowl of dark, still steaming soup on the table and said, "Grandma, you should drink this soup while it's hot to warm your body and bones. If you drink it a few times, your bones will stop hurting."< br>
Mrs. Zeng looked at the medicinal soup with a look of disapproval, "I'm already an old man. What else do I need to supplement? Don't waste those precious medicinal materials. They are quite expensive."
Over the years, the tonics she drank could fill a warehouse. How much money are they worth?
"Master and I picked it all. I don't need any money, so grandma can drink it with all her heart." Xia Zihan scooped up a spoon and brought it to Zeng's mouth. Zeng took the spoon and said, "I'll do it myself. Grandma will also drink it." I'm not old enough to need you to feed me. "In the past few years, Zeng has taken a lot of tonics, almost eating them as food. She took the bowl from Xia Zihan's hand, spoonful after spoonful. Almost drank it all.
After drinking a bowl of soup, I felt full and didn't want to eat. Xia Zihan coaxed me again and again before I ate less than half a bowl of porridge.
Looking at the remaining half of the bowl of porridge, Xia Zihan felt heavy.
The next day, after receiving the news, Mrs. Zhuo and Chu Xuanyu also brought their two eldest grandsons to visit Mrs. Zeng. Mrs. Xia Shiming and Mrs. Xia Er also came with their two sons anxiously.
The two families happened to meet at the entrance of Chuihua.
Chu Yixuan and Chu Yijie bowed and bowed one by one seriously, shouting, "My grandson has met his grandfather, his grandmother, his second uncle, and his third uncle."
"My dear, get up quickly and come to grandpa." Xia Shiming felt happy when he saw his two grandsons, and even his worries about Mrs. Zeng's Gao Gao fell a little.
After everyone had seen each other separately, Xia Shiming entered the inner courtyard holding a precious grandson by the hand.
Xia Shiming and Chu Xuanyu were walking in front with their two children and Xia Ziye and Xia Zihai, followed by Mrs. Xia Er and Zhuo. When the two came together, they saw worry in each other's eyes.
Mrs. Xia Er said, "It was the maid sent by Princess Qinghui. She only said that the old lady was sick. I asked her what the illness was and whether it was serious. The maid couldn't tell me clearly. However, if someone could be sent to inform her, I'm afraid it would be very soon. Seriously, my husband and I were so anxious that we didn’t even finish our breakfast before we rushed here.”
"The prince and I were the same. When we got the news in the middle of breakfast, we put down the dishes and came over. We don't know how the godmother is doing." Zhuo's eyes were red and a little swollen, probably because she was on the way. Cried.
Zhuo's natal family is far away. Ever since she recognized Zeng as her godmother, she has really respected Zeng as her own mother. Thinking of Zeng's serious illness, she couldn't stop crying.
Chu Xuanyu hugged and coaxed her for a long time, and then her tears stopped.
A group of people, led by the Chu family's mother-in-law, hurried to the courtyard where Zeng lived.
After Ms. Zeng got up in the middle of the night and had a meal yesterday, Xia Zihan kept talking to her for more than an hour. Ms. Zeng said she was tired and wanted to rest. She still hasn't woken up yet.
Xia Zihan was skilled in medicine, but she was powerless against Zeng. She was so anxious that she burst into tears beside the bed.
Doctor Bai was advising her, "When people get old, there will be a day like this, so you should also be more open-minded."
Princess Qinghui and Dalang's three sons stood beside her with red eyes.
Erlang innocently asked Dalang, "Brother, the sun has come out, why is great-grandmother still sleeping in? Didn't great-grandmother teach us that no one can sleep in? Wouldn't the world dislike people who sleep in and are lazy?"
< br>
"Great-grandmother is not sleeping in, great-grandmother is sick." The already sensible Dalang seemed to have a premonition of something, his eyes were red, and he was carrying someone on his back and wiping his tears with his sleeves.
