Chapter 1255
Okay, then I'll let Nanny Xu and Butler Lu prepare. ”
Princess Qinghui wiped away her tears and gave a few instructions to Nanny Xu behind her. Nanny Xu's eyes were red and she nodded in agreement.
The servants of the Chu family were all busy for a while, with a touch of sadness on their faces. Even the air above the Chu Mansion was filled with sadness, as if they were weeping for the passing of Zeng's life.
……
In the evening, Chu Xuanyu came back and brought the emperor's imperial edict.
He asked for the imperial edict, and the emperor agreed to let Chu Yuexi come back. However, Chu Yuexi's task was handed over to Chu Jingqi to complete. This can be regarded as the emperor's grace to the Chu family and the Chu family.
Otherwise, for such an important task, even related to the emperor's life, if it were any other person, the emperor would never let him come back easily.
As for Chu Jingqi, he was the marshal-in-chief of the Great Northwest War. Even if the sky fell, he would not be able to come back. Therefore, the emperor simply left the matter of capturing Le Ying to him.
After Chu Xuanyu came back, he sent a few confidants to leave the city overnight and rushed to the northwest with the imperial edict.
In the evening, no one had eaten and had no appetite. They didn't even bother to ask the maid to prepare the meal. No one went to rest, and they stayed up until Mrs. Zeng woke up in the middle of the night.
"Everyone of you, you are just hanging around in my house. You have nothing to do. Go back. You all go back. You are not doing anything serious. You are just watching me, an old woman."
After Mrs. Zeng got up, she reprimanded everyone. Xia Shiming, Zeng Yiran and Liao Jingtang were both pieces of elm wood. After being reprimanded, they just bent over and kept apologizing, but no one said anything. Open your mouth and promise Zeng to go back.
Chu Xuanyu could only coax with a calm face, "We are all in Dingyou and have no jobs, so there is nothing serious to do. Besides, there is nothing more serious than spending time with the old lady."
"Just coax my old lady, don't think that I don't know. Although the emperor has not captured your love, he has recruited you into the palace from time to time to work for him."
Mrs. Zeng was helped by Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui to sit at the table. The maids hurriedly put the dinner on the table, served it hot and arranged it one by one.
At this time, there is no distinction between men and women, there is a table, men's side, women's side, they just sit and eat together.
Zeng didn't eat much, and even ate less every meal. He only drank half a bowl of soup and wanted to give it up.
Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui sat beside her, talking with each other, and finally persuaded her to drink the rest.
Xia Zihan was about to coax Mrs. Zeng to eat some more porridge, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Zeng suddenly made a sound and vomited out all the soup she had just drank.
"Grandma..."
"Godmother..."
"Grandma..."
"Mother-in-law..."
……
Everyone at the table was startled and panicked.
Xia Zihan, who was sitting next to her, reacted the fastest. He raised his hand and tapped twice on Zeng's chest, sealing the two acupuncture points and making her stomach, which had been squirming and nauseated, feel better. After she stopped vomiting, Mrs. Zeng regained her breath, but her face was bloodless and sallow, which was very scary.
Chu Xuanyu was the first to calm down and hurriedly ordered the maid to take out the kang quilt and pillows. A group of people worked together to lift Zeng and lie down on the kang.
Mrs. Zhuo quickly ordered the maid next to her, "Clean this place carefully. The old lady likes to be clean. Remember to wash it with water and sprinkle some fragrant powder to avoid leaving any smell."
Mrs. Zeng vomited so quickly that she couldn't wait for the maid to take the spittoon, so she vomited directly on the ground. A few drops were splashed on her loose clothes, and the medicinal smell in the tonic was particularly strong. When the old lady vomited, The whole room exuded a strong medicinal smell, which was very unpleasant.
It's not that Mrs. Zhuo dislikes it, but she's just afraid that Mrs. Zeng, who loves to be clean, won't like it.
After giving instructions, Mrs. Zhuo took another clean cloth, stood by the kang, and personally wiped the dirty concoction on Mrs. Zeng's clothes.
Xia Zihan kept holding one of Zeng's hands and followed her to the kang, crying, "Grandma, don't scare me, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Grandma is just... just old and can't eat... that much."
Mrs. Zeng was busy comforting her precious granddaughter.
This granddaughter is her lifeblood. If it weren't for her, she would have gone to find the master long ago.
Zeng weakly held Xia Zihan's hand and said feebly, "Ayu, grandma... grandma is old and is going to find your grandpa. Your grandpa has been waiting for grandma on the road for so many years. If grandma doesn't go, your grandpa will It’s time to get angry.”
"And your mother, I had a dream about your mother last night. She said that she was thinking of me underground and asked me to go see her early. She still has a lot to say to me, Ayu, when I see you Mom, I will definitely tell her that you have grown up and become beautiful. , you also found a good husband and gave birth to a pair of twin boys. You are luckier than her. You have met a good mother-in-law who loves you as if you were her own daughter. You live a very happy life, so your mother should not miss you. .”
Phew...
Perhaps she spoke too much in one breath, and Zeng became out of breath all of a sudden. It took a long time for her to regain her composure.
Xia Zihan's eyes were filled with tears and she kept crying, "Grandma, I don't want you to leave. How about you stay with me? Let grandpa wait a few more years. When I give birth to your great-granddaughter, why don't you go find grandpa again?" Too late.”
"Silly girl, your grandfather has a stubborn temper. Once he gets angry, what should he do if he doesn't wait for grandma? It's been more than ten years. Your grandpa has been lonely in that dark place for more than ten years. It's time for grandma to go find him. .”
Then he said, "You are already married. Aqi will accompany you on the next journey. Grandma will feel relieved and at ease."
"Grandma, I can't let you go, I can't let you go..."
"When people get old, there will be a day when they have to give up sooner or later." Mrs. Zeng sighed softly, and then told Princess Qinghui, who was also crying, "From now on, the Chu Mansion will be left to you. Now, you should teach Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang well, and don’t scold them all the time, they are smart.”
"Grandma, I know. I will never scold them again." Princess Qinghui wiped away her tears and choked.
"Grandma, please wait a moment. Da Lang and the others will be here soon. The maid went to call."
Princess Qinghui was worried that the Zeng family would abandon them immediately and leave like this. She quickly mentioned the Dalang brothers and wanted to keep the Zeng family.
Zeng twitched the corner of her mouth weakly, "Xuan'er and Jie'er are also here, call over together and let me see them again."
"Everyone is coming, call them all, they will be there soon."
