Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

The doctor didn't say anything else. He just prescribed some medicine and left.

He didn't know whether the old man was content or not, but everyone had a discerning eye and could tell which son the old man cared about the most.

"Dad, I'll ask someone to get the medicine and have it boiled when I get back. You can take it." After sending the doctor away, Sheng Xuan said to the old man.

Since returning to Shengjia Village, the old man has lost a lot of weight and is not as energetic as before. This time, when he bent over, his old age was revealed.

Sheng Xuan felt a little sad. In fact, he also wanted to ask the old man, why couldn't he just do as the doctor said, and spend his old age in peace and quiet...

"Third brother, I'm sorry to make you spend money again. I'm just mad at second brother..." Old Master Sheng said to Sheng Xuan.

"Dad, you should take a good rest." Sheng Xuan did not respond to the old man's words.

Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai were both there at this time, and they seemed to have something to say. The old man's attitude clearly showed that he wanted him to make the decision and subdue Sheng Kai.

Sheng Xuan is not stupid, so he naturally doesn't want to care about these things. He has understood the situation in his heart, and he is even annoyed by the old Sheng family's unreasonable behavior again and again. But after all, it is a blood relationship, and it is not something that can be abandoned just because it can be abandoned.

"Dad, just listen to the doctor's advice and take good care of yourself. Don't worry about anything." Sheng Xuan said this and stood up. "Old man, eat well and drink well. It will be our blessing for you to live longer. I have things to do at home. I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you when I'm free."

Sheng Xuan did not give Old Master Sheng a chance to chat with him about family matters. After arranging the old man's affairs, he left the old house. He did not care at all about who would marry first, and of course he would not mention it.

But when he told the old man to take good care of his health and not to worry about anything, it showed his attitude. He didn't want the old man to arrange a marriage for Sheng Nuo.

Sheng Xuan returned home, feeling a little depressed. Xiao Lan soon heard from the housekeeper about the scene when Sheng Xuan went to the old house. She could only shake her head and sigh. It was their family's fault for having this fate.

Why is the old man so troublesome now? Xiao Lan couldn't help thinking in her heart, if Shi Shengnuo was successful now, then maybe the old man would be really happy. He wouldn't be tossing people back and forth like he is now.

Now, Sheng Xuan is a seventh-rank official, Xiao Wen is a scholar, and the family has many shops, fields, and money. They now send food and drink to the old couple, and Grandpa Sheng will share some with the old family... But the old man does not feel satisfied and happy, but misses the eldest son even more.

In the final analysis, the old man is partial. All his passion is for Shengnuo, and he can't spare an ounce of love for his other sons. He will only be happy if the eldest son is happy. No matter how well the other sons live, no matter how much they respect him, it will be in vain unless their family can cater to his preferences.

But the best way to please the old man is to treat Sheng Nuo well, and even better, to worship him like one would worship an ancestor.

But is this possible?

The answer is no. Xiaolan's family would never do such a thing, because it would be against the conscience of heaven and earth. They don't have a tendency to self-abuse, so why would they do that?

"I've arranged the medicine, and I'm back." Sheng Xuan said, "I'm just afraid that if I sit there for a while longer, the old man will ask me to agree to talk to the eldest brother about a wife, and I'm too lazy to listen to this."

"If you sit there for a while, will the old man borrow some money from you?" Zhang asked.

"I haven't really thought about this." Sheng Xuan said.

Nowadays, they are all wealthy and powerful, so they don't feel sorry for taking out dozens of taels of silver. However, no one's silver comes from the wind. It is earned by their family's hard work. Naturally, they hope that the silver can be used in the right way.

"The old man is so capable. He doesn't even need to ask, and your father will do whatever he wants... No matter how busy the family is, he is always available at our call. We have fully supplied him with everything at home. The doctor in the village is like one of our own..." Zhang said.

"You said that people get confused when they get old..." Zhang said again. "But it's no wonder that the second son asked him if they were not his biological children but adopted. Now the second son and his wife have learned their lesson. No matter what the old man promised them, they just refused to agree and just stared at the money in the old man's hand."

"I've suffered a lot of losses in the past." Xiao Lan couldn't help but say happily, "I'm afraid I won't be fooled again now."

"Now that things have gotten to this point, I'm afraid the plan to find a wife for the eldest son will fall through..." Zhang said.

"hope so......"

The old man only stayed in bed for two days and took medicine for two days before he recovered. Then he started to arrange Shengnuo's marriage.

Winter is a rare leisure time for farmers. Every household stays at home. After dinner every day, Mr. Sheng takes his eldest son out to visit neighbors and asks people everywhere to find a wife for him.

He said that his eldest son didn't have high requirements, and he didn't care if the family was poor, as long as the person was good, strong, and had a good temper. As for the appearance, he said that as long as the person looked acceptable, it would be fine. But there was one thing, that is, the person had to be younger than his eldest son.

If all other conditions are met, it's okay to take care of a child. The Sheng family has no problem raising a child.

Xiao Ye heard all these things after he ran over to Xiao Lan and repeated them.

"Our grandfather also said that we don't want someone too young, and that someone between 20 and 30 is best. He also said that the Sheng family would never treat anyone unfairly..." Xiao Ye repeated all the words that the old man had said when he asked someone to act as a matchmaker.

Zhang and Xin heard all these words.

"The old man is planning to find a younger one for the eldest son," Xin said to Zhang.

"I'm afraid it's hard to find him." Zhang said, "If it was in the past, before the incident in Hejian County, and he was still a scholar, maybe we could find him."

"That's why the old man said that he would not treat people unfairly. Just use silver to subsidize the medicine." Xin said.

"Has your second aunt come to your house these days?" Xiao Lan asked Xiao Ye.

"She goes, and goes every day. She told us so many things," Xiou'e said. "But now, she is not like before. She doesn't sit all day. Now, when she comes to our house, she tells us that the old man is biased. She also says that she has to keep an eye on us at all times, otherwise our old man will bring back a widow in the blink of an eye."
