One, two, three...

Seeing the silver needles inserted one by one, Xu Yan and Xu Chen's hearts were in their throats.

The acupuncture therapy is actually quite mysterious, and it depends entirely on the method and experience of the patient.

Of course, Gao Zhizhai must be the best, otherwise Xu Yan would not have asked him to give him a medical treatment with confidence.

After more than a dozen needles, Xu Huaiyuan's left hand moved his fingers, and then his eyes opened.

"father!"

Xu Yan was very excited and instinctively shouted out.

"My son comes over quickly and let dad see..."

Xu Huaiyuan was still very weak, and his voice was weak and intermittent.

Xu Yan hurried to the bed, grabbed his father's hand and said, "My son is unfilial and cannot be with his father."

Xu Huaiyuan shook his head and showed a smile.

"It was my father who was careless. He thought he would get cured by taking a few prescriptions, but who knew that the disease was so fierce."

Xu Yan sighed, "The disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread. Dad has to be well-off."

Xu Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Dad listen to you."

He obviously noticed Gao Zhizhai on the side and said in confusion: "Who is this?"

Xu Yan quickly explained: "Dad, this is a famous miracle doctor Gao from Ningbo Prefecture, and he cured you."

Gao Zhizhai shook his head when he heard this: "Gao, the word "miracle doctor", dare not be considered a person. Besides, Ling Zun's disease has not been cured yet and needs to be treated slowly."

Xu Yan bowed to Gao Zhizhai and said, "Doctor Gao is too humble. If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do."

Xu Huaiyuan also nodded to Gao Zhizhai.

"Thank you, Doctor Gao."

Gao Zhizhai said in a harmonious voice: "Gao, let's prescription, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, he put away the medicine box and walked away.

"Ahem, then I'll go and talk to Dr. Gao."

Seeing this, Shen Mingchen also slipped out with great tactfulness.

In this way, there were only three members of the Xu family in the house.

"Dad, why didn't you write a letter to your son earlier?"

Xu Yan said a little aggrieved.

"I think it's not a serious illness for my father, so I'm afraid my son will worry."

Xu Huaiyuan sighed and said, "You are studying with Mr. Xushan at Gushan Academy and are fully preparing for the examination. I am afraid that you will be delayed by my father."

Xu Yan's eyes turned red: "Compared with his father's body, what does the child's little study count?"

"I dare not say this. The Xu family finally made you a study-oriented person, but the ancestral tomb was filled with smoke. If it was delayed by your father and you won't be forgiven."

"You father and son say this as soon as you meet, and you can't talk about it."

Xu Chen gave Xu Yan a wink, and Xu Yan understood it.

"Dad, the child met the grandmaster at Gushan Academy. He also praised the child."

Compared to making money, my father definitely hopes to hear good news about Xu Yan’s academic performance. Therefore, Xu Yan pointed it out directly.

Sure enough, Xu Huaiyuan was happy when he heard the news.

"My son is really Wenquxing, and even the Grand Master is optimistic about you."

Xu Yan blushed and said, "Dad, let's be low-key. The Grand Master just praised me a few words."

"It's enough to have a few words. This fully shows that my son's knowledge is beyond the reach of a person."

Xu Huaiyuan exclaimed: "It seems that my son has been stable in this hospital examination, and my ancestors have appeared."

Xu Yan was so amazed and laughed. He tucked the quilt for his father and said in a whisper: "Dad, just rest and take good care of your body. My son will definitely not let you down."

"By the way, did your grandfather tell you about engagement?"

Somehow, Xu Chen suddenly started this topic.

Xu Yan thought to himself that he had suffered, it seems that he could not hide it now.

"Uh... Mom, my grandfather talked to me, but the child told him if he could let me consider it."

After saying that, he took out the Geng letter and handed it to my mother.

It is impossible to keep this kind of thing hidden all the time. It is better to be honest from the beginning.

Xu Chen took the Geng letter and looked at it. It turned out that he was indeed the daughter of the Hong family, just like what his father said.

"What is my son hesitating about such a good girl?"

Xu Yan thought to himself, how can you know that Hong Miaoyun must be good? Just judge by family background?

Fortunately, Xu Yan met Hong Miaoyun by chance, otherwise he would have no idea what his parents said.

"After all, the baby is still young..."

As soon as Xu Yan said that, Xu Huaiyuan shook his head: "My son is not young anymore. Now he is engaged and getting married will be a few years later. Your grandfather is right about this."

My father joined the battle at some point, and Xu Yan was instantly at a disadvantage.

Guy, this is really the whole family. How can I play three-on-one?

"Dad, let me think about it."

In other words, Xu Yan is the only son of the Xu family, and his parents are spoiled.

If it were another family, the words of the matchmaker would block the topic of the conversation with their parents, so how could they have tolerated any considerations?

"Okay, my son has grown up and should consider his lifelong affairs. But for my father, I still feel that it is a rare and good marriage between you and Miss Hong."

Xu Huaiyuan said with a smile.

Xu Yan really didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Mr. Shen is a friend I met in Hangzhou. It's a coincidence that he is from Ningbo. If he hadn't invited Doctor Gao, his son would have been anxious. I would really thank him this time."

Xu Huaiyuan nodded: "My son is right. You need to repay kindness in life. Is Mr. Shen also a scholar?"

It can be seen that the father attaches great importance to his status as a friend. Xu Yan explained with a smile: "Young Master Shen is not only a scholar, but also the number one talented man in Ningbo. Of course, this was the incident before the Gushan Poetry Club. After the Poetry Club, the child stole his name. Now Mr. Shen is afraid that he can only be ranked second."

Xu Huaiyuan said in surprise: "My son's name is so loud now?"

Xu Yan said proudly: "You may not believe it when you say it. The child is now under the name of a talented man."

"Your grandfather's side is okay, right?"

Xu Chen has been back in Dinghai County for more than half a month and is still worried about Mr. Chen.

"My grandfather has moved back home. I heard that the weaving yamen has already been on track."

Xu Yan said in a harmonious voice.

Xu Chen nodded with a smile.

“That’s good.”

This is not good to do things for the royal family. You have to keep your heart in your throat at all times. If you are not careful, you will end up with a family being destroyed.

In this way, it seems reasonable for his son to insist on not allowing the Xu family to intervene.

"By the way, the business in Hangzhou Bookstore is getting more and more prosperous. My son is taking his own initiative and let Xu Wei stay in Hangzhou to manage it."

Xu Yan reported good news but not bad news, so he hid the Zhou family's bad news.

"My son has grown up, just make your own decisions about such small things."

Xu Huaiyuan said lovingly.
