Chapter 1254
As soon as Zeng Jing came, she couldn't stop crying. Liao Fangyi's eyes were red and she said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, my great-aunt is blessed with great fortune, so she will be fine."
"I...I know, it's just...the tears will fall on their own and I can't control them." Zeng Jing choked while touching her tears.
After hearing this, tears overflowed from the corners of several people's eyes.
Zeng slept until late in the afternoon and then woke up.
When she saw so many people gathered around her bed, she was confused and asked, "Why are you here together? Did you make an appointment?"
"Auntie, you have been sleeping all day, we are worried about you." Liao Fangyi sniffed and choked.
"Have you slept for so long?" Mrs. Zeng sat up with the support of Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui, "You girl, why do you still like to cry so much? You are here, where is Brother Ran, my child? Well, have you lost your home?”
"They are all here. The children were taken to dinner by the mother-in-law and the nanny. Yi Ran is next door. Princess Qinghui sent her maid over, and they came right away."
After Liao Fangyi finished speaking, the Zhuo family members who heard the commotion also came over.
Mrs. Zhuo rushed over, grabbed Mrs. Zeng's hand, and cried, "Godmother, you are awake. Seeing that you have been asleep for so long, I am stunned."
"I just slept a little longer. I'll worry about you all. I'm fine." Madam Zeng took the clean handkerchief from Xia Zihan's hand and wiped it for Madam Zhuo, "Okay, why are you crying? I'm not Are you okay? I’m getting older and I feel better. You guys don’t have to make such a fuss. It’s okay.”
"What's all the fuss about? You are our ancestor. If we don't care about you, who should we care about?" Mrs. Zhuo took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "Mrs. Xia Er and several ladies from the Liao family are here. Yes, I’ve been here all day.”
Princess Qinghui, Xia Zihan and Liao Fangyi stepped aside and allowed Mrs. Xia Er and the three ladies of the Liao family to come forward and talk to the old lady for a while.
Xia Shiming, Chu Xuanyu and others also came over and saw that although the old lady was awake, she was not in good spirits. She was like a big tree with withered branches and leaves, drained of its trunk, and was about to fall.
For a moment, the hearts of several people seemed to be blocked by something, and their hearts tightened uncomfortably. They forced a smile and greeted the old lady.
Princess Qinghui asked the maid to serve dinner, which was placed in the side hall next door. There was a table on the floor, a table on the Kang, and a row of four four-season screens embroidered with plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums in the middle.
After eating, the ladies of the Liao family went back separately. Because it was getting late, Princess Qinghui was worried and sent dozens of guards to escort them back.
Zeng Jing and Liao Fangyi stayed and lived in the courtyard arranged for them by Princess Qinghui.
Mrs. Zhuo wanted to stay in Mrs. Zeng's house to serve Mrs. Zeng, and let Xia Zihan take her two eldest grandchildren to rest. However, Xia Zihan also wanted to spend more time with her grandmother. She knew that she did not have much time to spend with her grandmother. , but, Mrs. Zhuo said, "Your grandmother is also my godmother. , the person who loves me as her own daughter, she is sick, and as a daughter, I want to stay by her side to take care of her illness, and I also want to show my filial piety. Don’t compete with mother. If mother doesn’t stay tonight, This will make it difficult to sleep and eat well in the future.”
Having said that, Xia Zihan couldn't force him to stay.
Xia Zihan didn't dare to sleep for the past two days and nights, and she was indeed extremely tired. She thought about it, and after saying hello to Mrs. Zhuo and Mrs. Xia Er, she went to the yard where she used to live and stayed with several people. The two sons, who have not seen each other for a long time, take a rest.
Mrs. Xia Er, Zeng Jing and Liao Fangyi stayed on the kang in the outhouse to rest, and drove their men to live in the guest house. Mrs. Zhuo slept on the shoe couch in front of Mrs. Zeng's bed that night. After spending most of the night talking with Ms. Zeng, it was not until the latter half of the night that Ms. Zeng fell asleep. This time, Zeng slept until the second half of the second night, sleeping for more than twenty hours, which made everyone worried.
Liao Jingtang, Xia Shiming and Chu Xuanyu were both still in Ding Youzhong and not on duty. They had plenty of time. However, Zeng decided to still work on duty. However, he wrote a memorial asking for leave and sent it to his Shangfeng residence. I asked the emperor for seven days' leave.
On this day, a group of people stayed in Zeng's house and did not leave.
Xia Shiming considered it to Chu Xuanyu, "Your Majesty, regarding the old lady, please tell me whether you should inform Yue Xi as soon as possible and ask him to come back."
Chu Yuexi is the head of the Chu family. If Zeng is so ill and he is not present, Xia Shiming is worried that even if Zeng leaves, he will go away with his eyes closed.
However, Xia Shiming didn't know that Chu Yuexi had gone to the Northwest, and thought he was running errands in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Chu Xuanyu knew that, and he also knew that once Chu Yuexi was in the Northwest, it would not be so easy to come back.
Let's not talk about the errands assigned to him by the emperor. He has not yet completed them. Let's talk about the war in the northwest. Once he gets involved, it will not be easy to get out easily.
Chu Xuanyu was thinking about going into the palace to ask for a favor from the emperor and let Chu Yuexi come back first.
"You guys stay here while I go into the palace." Chu Xuanyu stood up and said to Xia Shiming, "I'll go to the palace to ask for a favor from the emperor."
Xia Shiming understood. He nodded, "Go, I'm here."
Chu Yuexi is not here, Liao Jingtang and Zeng Yiran are too young, Princess Qinghui is a woman who has not experienced much, and she does not understand everything. Xia Shiming and Chu Xuanyu are the only ones here who are older and are the elders. If Zeng Something happened to the Chu family, so they left one so that they could help the Chu family in time.
After Chu Xuanyu left, Xia Shiming thought for a while and discussed with everyone about Zeng's death before she woke up.
Princess Qinghui cried, "Grandma said she is fine, she will be fine."
She didn't want to make arrangements for the old lady's funeral so early. It seemed that if she made arrangements, it would make Mrs. Zeng leave faster. If she didn't make arrangements, maybe Mrs. Zeng would be fine.
Of course, these are all her naive thoughts.
Mrs. Zhuo wiped her tears and said, "Qinghui, it's time to send someone to prepare in advance. Judging from the old lady's energy level, it will only be this month."
Doctor Bai also said sadly, "The old lady is very lethargic. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive for a month."
"Get ready, Qinghui." Xia Zihan also choked with sobs and said, "I know that you can't let go of my grandmother, and I can't let go of my grandmother. It's so hard to let go. However, my grandmother is getting older, and one day will come. , As juniors, we can’t keep her, we can only let her go with peace of mind, and don’t let her miss us.”
"Okay, then I'll let Nanny Xu and Butler Lu prepare."
