house life

Xu Daoshou was very happy when he heard the news that Xu Shaozhang had passed the imperial examination. He said to Mrs. Zeng, "Let's go and congratulate our second brother and second sister-in-law."

Mrs. Zeng was also very happy. Having a Juren in the family was good for the whole family.

What's more, Xu Shaozhang is not very old. He is ranked in the top ten on the list. He is very hopeful of passing the next big exam.

The couple happily prepared to go out, but they just told Yuan that they would go to Zeng's natal family.

Although Mrs. Yuan hates her daughter-in-law, she doesn't dare to offend her daughter-in-law's family.

After Xu Daoshou and his wife left, someone in the clan asked Xu Daoshou something. It happened that Mrs. Yuan wanted to talk to someone about her daughter-in-law's unfilial piety.

She was very happy to welcome the visitor. When she was talking to the visitor, she heard that Xu Shaozhang had passed the exam.

"Oh." After Yuanshi was stunned for a while, she tried her best to raise the cup to drink water. Then she heard a clan member say: "Let me ask when Brother Shou and Sister Shou will go to the second brother's house to congratulate you?"

"Pop!" The cup fell from her hand. After rolling on the ground, the cup finally broke into two pieces.

Yuan's Daxi dress was soaked by the tea. She was not in the mood to greet the clan members and stood up directly: "They are not at home. I am a little tired."

After the tribe members left, Yuanshi sat numbly for a long time, and she felt that her eyes were dark.

When Xu Daoshou and his wife came back from outside, they were a little anxious when they heard from the servant woman that Yuan had been sleeping all afternoon.

When they rushed over, Yuanshi was half sitting on the bed, panting.

When she saw Xu Daoshou and his wife coming in, she sneered and said, "Oh, you are back. Tell me when the Xu family became the Zeng family."

Zeng lowered her eyebrows, knowing that no matter what she said, Yuan would not like her.

Xu Daoshou said to Yuanshi, "Mother, have you sent for a doctor?"

"I can't die now, so you don't have to show such a filial gesture."

"Mom, we originally planned to go to my in-law's house, but we just found out that Zhang'er passed the imperial examination. It's natural for us uncles and aunts to go to congratulate such a happy event."

Yuanshi looked at Zengshi who was hiding behind Xu Daoshou, and said mockingly: "If I were gone, some people would be very happy, right?"

Mrs. Zeng listened to Mrs. Yuan and still didn't raise her head. If it weren't for her children, whoever wants to serve such a mother-in-law can serve her. She couldn't serve her anyway.

Xu Daoshou looked at Yuanshi: "Mother, I will ask a doctor to take a look at you. Regardless of whether you are sick or not, after the doctor takes a look, I can feel more at ease."

Yuanshi said coldly, and Xu Daoshou suddenly understood that Yuanshi still wanted him to ask the doctor to come.

Xu Daoshou walked out, and Mrs. Zeng hurriedly chased him out. In the room, Mrs. Yuan lay down directly.

The servant woman stepped forward to support Yuanshi and whispered: "Master, the young lady is not a bad person."

"At my age, I just want to live a happy life for a few years. I don't care whether she is bad or not."

The servant wife had nothing to say. When a mother didn't think about her little son's happiness, what could she, a servant, say?

Xu Daoshou asked a doctor to see Yuanshi, and the doctor said to Yuanshi calmly: "You should be more peaceful, old man."

Yuanshi looked at him angrily: "You, a doctor, only treat patients. Why are you talking so much?"

The doctor glanced at Yuanshi and said, "I'll prescribe you some soothing soup. If you sleep well at night, your mood will be better during the day."

Xu Daoshou asked the doctor to prescribe medicine. The doctor said to Xu Daoshou: "Your mother's health is not very good. You should ask a better doctor to take a look at her." Xu Daoshou listened to the doctor's words, and his heart sank. Shen said hurriedly: "There is nothing wrong with my mother."

"Has she been angry lately?"

"My mother has always had a straight temper. People outside may think she has a bad temper, but in fact she is a straightforward person."

The doctor looked at him and said, "You don't have to speak for your mother. Our hospital is nearby. We know a little bit about each family's situation.

I can't bear to see your mother's illness. You can find someone else who is wise. ":
After Xu Daoshou sent the doctor away, Mrs. Yuan saw him entering the room. She slapped the bed frame and said, "I don't want to drink the medicine he prescribed. He is a quack."

Xu Daoshou also remembered at this time that the doctor had never prescribed medicine for Yuanshi.

Xu Daoshou nodded and said, "Okay, mother, I will ask a doctor to come over and see my mother.

Mother, which doctor from a medical center do you think is better? "

"I don't want the doctor who treats your father, right? I don't have the energy to talk for a while, so I'll take a nap first."

Xu Daoshou was anxious and asked his servants to take good care of Yuanshi.

He told Mrs. Zeng, "You asked someone to invite the two brothers back. I think there is something wrong with my mother's condition."

Mrs. Zeng was a little flustered all of a sudden. There was a happy event happening at home, and Mrs. Yuan couldn't let anything happen at this time.

Xu Daoshou went to invite the doctor to his home. When the doctor came, Yuanshi was already unconscious on the bed.

The doctor gave Yuanshi two or three injections. Yuanshi slowly woke up and said, "Shou'er, I dreamed that your brother's father came to pick me up."

Xu Daoshou's expression changed. When Yuan mentioned the old man of the Xu family, she always mentioned your father. Only when she mentioned her ex-husband, she would refer to your brother's father.

The doctor looked at Xu Daoshou and shook his head casually, and said to Yuanshi: "You old man is in a trance.

You old man can't sleep well at night and is confused during the day.I will prescribe you a decoction to regulate your body. You can try it after drinking it for a few days. "

Yuanshi looked at him and said happily: "I know your medical skills are good, so I will drink the medicine you prescribed."

She looked a little better and Xu Daoshou felt more at ease. He smiled as the doctor prescribed medicine, a very ordinary decoction.

The doctor handed the medicine list into Xu Daoshou's hand: "You sons, listen to your mother's other wishes."

"Ah, isn't my mother well?" Xu Daoshou looked at the doctor with a pale face.

The doctor understood the thoughts of the patient's family members very well. He reached out and patted Xu Daoshou on the shoulder: "We all hope that she can pass this test."

Xu Daoshou's half-brother ran over, and the doctor hadn't left the courtyard yet.

After they heard the doctor explain the situation, their faces changed drastically: "My mother was in good health a few days ago, how could she become like this all of a sudden?"

"She cannot be overjoyed or sad at this age. She went to the hospital last month and our doctor told her that she must be in a peaceful mood."

The three brothers all had sad expressions on their faces, but at the door of Yuan's courtyard, they looked at each other and said, "We can't let mother see that something is wrong."

The three brothers entered the room, and the only one in Yuan's heart was the eldest brother and the second child. She took the hand of the eldest brother and the second child and said with a smile: "I haven't seen your father for many years. This time I met him. He said he allowed me to accompany him underground."
