Chapter 91 Zhao House

Xu Yan waved his hand and asked him to go down.

"General..."

"It's just some rumors in the market, but it's not credible. I'll naturally know when I see my aunt tomorrow!"

I was speechless all night, but the next morning, just dawned, and Xu Yan got up.

He changed into a brand new robe, and the silk fabric was quite appropriate, which highlighted his tall body. After years of hardening, his elegant temperament was much less, but he was more solemn and more stern, with a pair of black and white eyes, deep and thorough.

When he opened the door and walked out, Uncle Xing and the others were already waiting. They borrowed a carriage from the inn owner and went to the street to buy gifts for visiting.

According to what the waiter said yesterday, I went around seven or eight stores, including jewelry, cloth, ginseng, medicinal materials, pickled seafood, etc., and it was soon full.

It was almost time to go, Xu Yan turned his horse's head and came to Fuye Lane.

A simple and quiet house, ordinary, but the plaque of the 'Zhao Mansion' with a solid mahogany is very familiar.

Xu Yan turned over and got off the horse, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a servant came out.

"Please pass on the news, Xu Rongan comes here to pay homage to his aunt!"

...

In the back garden of Zhao Mansion, the autumn wind blows and fallen leaves fall.

In the octagonal pavilion, a woman in plain clothes was lowering her head to embroider her flowers. Her slender white fingers were very clever, and an orchid appeared faintly, making her look lifelike.

The woman has a gentle temperament and a focused look. The wind gently blows the hem of the skirt, giving her a different kind of soft temperament.

Such a picturesque scene was broken by a 15 or 16-year-old maid. She ran over with screams, and her two ponytails quickly shook behind her back: "Miss, a guest is coming from the mansion!"

When he ran to the pavilion, the little maid gasped and said with a dance: "I heard from the people in front that he was a young scholar who brought a lot of things and was received by his mother!"

Zhao Ruxuan stopped the needle and thread in her hand slightly, and then continued to embroider: "I'm here, I'm here. Are there fewer people in the past few days?"

"Miss, don't you go and have a look? Sister Qiaomei went to send tea and said that the man is so handsome and speaks nicely. What's the word called? What's warm ears?"

"It's gentle and elegant!"

Zhao Ruxuan glared at her and then said, "It's all unrelated people, what's the point!"

The little maid laughed and came over and said, "I know, in the lady's heart, except for the storytelling Brother Xu, no one else has anything to do with."

"Damn girl!"

Zhao Ruxuan reached out to hit her, but the little maid ran away quickly and giggled, and she disappeared after a while.

At this time, there was a different scene in the living room of the main house.

When Xu Yanchu came in, he saw Xue sitting on a chair and was shocked.

I saw her wearing a thick dress, with slightly white temples and thin face, as if she had suddenly become aged in her teenage years, unlike the health of her memory.

"What's wrong with aunt? I haven't seen each other for two years, how did I become sick like this?" he asked hurriedly.

Xue smiled at him: "When your uncle passed away, I also got a serious illness and fell into the root of the disease. I had asked the doctor to see it before, saying that it was a little cold and it was not a serious problem!"

"My nephew is familiar with medical skills. Can I ask me to take your pulse?"

"If you don't say it, I will really forget that you are a disciple of Doctor Qu, and your medical skills are excellent!"

Xue stretched out her wrist, Xu Yan carefully examined and frowned slightly.

I just looked at my complexion and realized that my face was not good. Now I have diagnosed that my pulse is mixed and weak. After asking, I learned that she still has symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness and sweating.

This disease is first caused by wind and cold, coupled with excessive worry and excessive liver qi, which makes people unable to sleep or eat.

"Can there be a prescription?"

"some!"

The answer was Liang's mother standing next to him, and hurriedly found a prescription to hand it to him. After Xu Yan looked at it, he said, "This prescription is correct, but it is not comprehensive. I will prescribe another prescription for you and leave a few food supplements. You should take it for a while and it should improve!"

Xue smiled and nodded.

Liang's mother sent her pen and ink, and Xu Yan wrote down two pages and asked her to put it away.

"In addition, aunt should relax, talk and laugh more on weekdays, walk around often, and don't be too entangled in everything. Once your mood is up, your illness will naturally be cured!"

"I remember! Alas, when you are old, you will always have some minor illnesses and disasters!"

Xue sighed and looked at Xu Yan: "I haven't asked you yet, didn't you work in Chang'an before? Why did you suddenly come to Dingzhou?"

"Auntie doesn't know that I am now the deputy general of the Shenwu Army. At the beginning of last month, under the order of the Empress Dowager, I sent troops to fight against the rebellion in Fenzhou. Now the rebels have been wiped out and are about to return to Beijing, so I asked Huzi to lead the army in front and take a detour to visit you!" Xu Yan explained.

Xue was stunned. When she heard that he had become a general, she did not look happy, but instead felt a little depressed.

"Aunt?"

"It's rare that you have the will!"

Xue looked at him with a complicated look: "You are here this time, but what else do you have?"

"One is to visit my aunt, and secondly, I want to see Xuan'er... I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know if she has received the letter she wrote last time?"

This time, the long silence also made Xu Yan feel uneasy and hurriedly asked, "Is Xuan'er okay?"

Xue sighed slightly: "She is very good, but I can't let you see her!"

Xu Yan was stunned: "Why is this?"

"Since you called me aunt, I'll just say something!"

Xue sighed slightly: "When my deceased husband was alive, he mentioned your marriage with Xuan'er to me. At first I didn't want it. In this world, women live more difficult than men, and they only get married once. If they get married wrong, their life will be over!"

Xu Yan didn't say anything.

"But later when I saw you, I found out that you were a good child. With Xuan'er himself also liked me, I had nothing to say. But who would have thought that your uncle suddenly went, leaving only our orphans and widows..."

Xue couldn't help crying: "As soon as he left, I had no support. The only thing I thought about was Xuan'er. I just hope she could marry a stable family, get married and have children...and you are not suitable for her!"

Xu Yan hurriedly said, "Auntie, I promise that she will not be wronged in the future..."

"I believe in you, but so what? Can you keep her for the rest of your life?"

"You can't!"

"You are like her father, and you are the leader. Today you will suppress the rebellion and tomorrow you will defeat the enemy. For the sake of the family and country, you will not care about your wife, children, and even... One day, you will suddenly disappear, leaving her alone to be a widow... I will definitely not agree to such a marriage!"

Xu Yan opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"Rong'an, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. You are a good boy, and I always knew about it!"
