Chapter 28 The Liu Family's Heart Gap
Everyone deliberately maintained a lively atmosphere. Liu Qinghua glanced at Wen Mianmian twice. Knowing that the elders had important matters to discuss, he smiled at Wen Mianmian and said, "Mianmian, I haven't been to the General's Mansion for a long time. We
How about going for a walk in the garden?"
The old lady still remembered Wen Mianmian's words, and said: "If Qinghua wants to go to the garden, my aunt will arrange for someone to accompany you. Mianmian has just recovered from a serious illness, and the imperial doctor does not allow her to go out to enjoy the breeze at will, and she cannot bask in the sun."
Wen Mianmian nodded repeatedly, "Cousin, I also want to go shopping, but the wind blows when I go out and I feel dizzy."
Madam Liu said with concern, "Mianmian's illness has not been cured yet?"
Although she didn't know why the grandfather and grandson said this, Mrs. Wen was still very cooperative and showed a look of remorse, "After all, I didn't take good care of Mianmian."
The conversation changed and he added: "Fortunately, Mianmian is a lucky person. The imperial doctor said that if the disease is cured and the tail is raised for a few months, it will be fine."
Mrs. Liu sighed with emotion, "This person is going to have good or bad fortunes, and no one can predict them. Don't blame yourself too much."
After saying that, he secretly looked at the old lady's face, while Liu Qinghua stood there looking embarrassed.
Mrs. Liu smoothed things over again without leaving a trace, "Qing Hua hasn't gone out for a long time. At home, she always talks about wanting to talk to Mianmian. The two sisters have a good relationship, so they are like the same person."
"Since it's inconvenient for Mianmian to go out, why not let the sisters go to the next room to talk and get close to each other."
When it came to this point, Wen Mianmian couldn't make sense if she refused to agree, so she could only nod.
Just as he was about to raise his feet, Wang Qing, the steward of the palace, came with the imperial physician. He walked in and respectfully reported, "Old madam, the imperial physician Qi from the palace is here."
The man carrying the medicine box behind him came forward and bowed his hands, "Qi Fang from the Imperial Hospital wishes to pay his respects to Mrs. Wen."
The old lady didn't know what was going on for a while, but she still greeted Doctor Qi politely.
Wen Mianmian turned around happily and said, "Grandma, dad said that grandma was extremely tired from the long journey, so he specially invited the imperial doctor to give grandma a safe pulse."
"When did your father say that?"
"It was just last night. Grandma was too tired to eat. Daddy was worried."
After hearing what she said, the unhappiness in the old lady's heart completely dissipated. Wen Mianmian happily stepped forward to help her, "Grandma, go into the inner room and let Doctor Qi take your pulse."
"It's hard to keep Doctor Qi waiting for a long time."
The old lady stood up and said to Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment."
With the imperial doctor here, Mrs. Liu naturally did not dare to say anything. She nodded reluctantly and watched helplessly as her daughter-in-law and granddaughter supported her into the inner room like stars over the moon.
Apart from the waiters, there were only three people from the Liu family left in the living room. Even Wen Yiqing followed Wen Mianmian away. Mrs. Liu lowered her head, feeling a touch of bitterness in her heart.
The old man of the Liu family has become an official, and he was forced to do so. Not many people know about this. The once prosperous Liu family now has only Liu Shiyuan, the eldest son of the Liu family, holding a vacant post of fourth rank, and is about to decline.
However, the Wen family, which they once looked down upon at all, is now at the peak of its power. They can invite imperial doctors to consult Ping'an Pulse at will, which shows their power.
Liu Qinghua secretly pinched her handkerchief, feeling very dissatisfied. However, her mother had already analyzed the situation at home for her before she came, and she could only endure it no matter how unwilling she was.
It only took a cup of tea. Doctor Qi asked for Ping'an Pulse and said that the old lady was in good health. As for her fatigue, she could just rest for two days without even prescribing any medicine.
The old lady was worried about Wen Mianmian, so she asked Doctor Qi to check her pulse, but nothing happened, so she felt relieved.
Wang Qing sent Doctor Qi off, and the old lady took the opportunity to say a few words to Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Wen's eyes flashed slightly and she nodded respectfully, and then she and Wen Mianmian helped the old lady back to the living room.
The faces of the three Liu family members were not impatient. On the contrary, their attitudes were better than before.
After the old lady sat down, Mrs. Liu asked with concern: "Is my aunt in good health?"
"This man always has some problems as he gets older, but it doesn't matter."
As the old lady spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Wen inadvertently. Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Just now, Imperial Physician Qi said that my mother has a very good body and bones. As long as she has a good life, she can watch her great-grandson marry a wife."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They finally got to the point. Just as they were about to speak, they heard Mrs. Wen say:
"Waiting for Mianmian to get married, I freed up my hands to look at Ling Xiao's child. Not to mention, that child was walking outside all day long, and he attracted the attention of many little girls. Recently, the wives of several families
I have inquired openly and secretly, and there are some good ones, and maybe my mother will be able to have great-grandchildren by the end of next year."
She said happily, as if she didn't notice the expressions of the three Liu family members changed at all, and she said happily, "Mom, will I have a sister-in-law next year? That's great."
Mrs. Wen smiled, "When your brother reaches the age of marriage, you will naturally have a sister-in-law."
The old lady also picked up the tea cup and took a quick sip. After putting down the tea cup, she said, "I'm getting older. You and your wife should be more attentive to the child."
Up to this point, the three Liu family members still couldn't understand what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meant. They were telling them tactfully that the Wen family had no intention of marrying the Liu family daughter, and for the sake of both parties' faces, they should just pretend that nothing happened at this moment.
Liu Qinghua was ashamed and angry, and the circles under her eyes were red, making her big, slightly bulging eyes look even more scary.
After all, Mrs. Liu had gone through a lot of storms, so her face was not too ugly. She smiled and said, "This marriage is a big deal. The Wen family is such a single person now, so nothing can be missed."
After saying this, the old lady's expression immediately changed, and Wen Mianmian said crisply: "Why is the eldest brother the only child? There is also a younger brother. The younger brother has entered the Wen family tree and is the second son of a serious literary family.
"
Wen Yiqing immediately straightened her chest and clenched her fists tightly. Seeing this, Mrs. Wen's heart felt warm and she gave Wen Mianmian a grateful look.
The old lady didn't say anything, which seemed to be her acquiescence in Wen Mianmian's statement, which made Old Madam Liu's eyes tremble slightly with anger.
Perhaps she didn't want the atmosphere to be so awkward, so the old lady smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Sister-in-law, how is your health?"
During this trip, Mrs. Liu also wanted to ask the old lady to go find Wen Mian, so that Wen Mian could help the Liu family take a step forward. If it was not possible, it would be fine to find a promising job for her grandson Liu Ji'en, but the young Fu family and Wen Mian
The two of them were stuck here, Mianmian, and she really didn't want outsiders to see the joke.
He could only say dryly: "It's still the same as before. Now that I'm at home, I can walk around with birds and enjoy flowers in my free time. It's quite comfortable."
"It's okay, my eldest brother has always been a person with ideas. After working hard for half his life, it's time to rest and enjoy his old age."
The old lady picked up the tea cup again, with a faint smile on her lips, and her heart was like a bright mirror.
