Chapter 107: Cheap
Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu only waited to see the post, and the Wang family, who was holding the post, did not dare to delay, and after hearing Ling Xiang's announcement, they walked quickly to the house.
Ling Xiang, who is not married, doesn't understand why Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu are in a hurry to read the post, but they have been married for a long time, but the Wang family, who has children and daughters, understands why.
is also a mother, if one day her son and daughter-in-law dare to do this, she is afraid that she will die of sadness.
Wang didn't speak after entering the room, but respectfully offered the post in his hand with both hands, and quietly waited for Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu to ask after reading the post.
Xu Shiqiu read the post first, and after reading it, he didn't speak, but just gave two posts to Dong Shu.
Dong Shu's lips moved after getting the post, but in the end she didn't speak, but lowered her head to open the post in her hand.
The first thing I opened was the post of the second room of the Xu family, and the content in the post was normal, it was nothing more than the words that came to ask for peace tomorrow.
After reading the post of the second room of the Xu family, Dong Shu read the post of the big house of the Xu family again.
The content of the post of the Xu family is more than that of the second room, although it is said that because Xu Mingyuan was too busy before, he only took the time to find a gap recently, but this post still has a strong sense of stiffness.
It's not like a conversation between a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law, but it's like two families who have always been in contact, but the relationship is not very close.
This is how Dong Shu felt after reading the two posts.
There is no cordiality between the younger and the elders, and the whole post exudes a stiff feeling after ordinary relatives have not seen each other for a long time.
Everywhere is very similar to the few posts I received before, but those people are not related to the Xu family, so it is natural to write such posts.
But today's two posts are written by the big house and the second room of the Xu family, Mrs. Xu's parent-child family.
"This shouldn't be a post from a junior to an elder."
Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and spoke, but the moment her words fell, Xu Shiqiu sneered and said, "They shouldn't have written this post!" ”
Xu Shiqiu's tone was very bad, listening to his words, Dong Shu hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Maybe I haven't lived together for many years, and I'm separated." ”
Dong Shu said this, but she didn't believe it.
If one day, her son and daughter-in-law wrote such a lifelike post before coming to see her, she would be unhappy.
It is said that there is no overnight feud between mother and son, not to mention that Dong Shu does not think that her mother-in-law is bad for the big house and the second room.
When she was not married before, Dong Shu had heard a lot of stories about her mother-in-law's partiality, but after getting married, she found that her mother-in-law was a rare smart person.
Dong Shu also understood in her heart that when she wrote posts to the Five Princes' Mansion and the Jiang family before, in addition to her sister and Yanzhu being married to a foreign daughter, the most important thing is that her sister is married to the Five Princes, and the relationship between the Jiang family and the Xu family is very delicate now.
It's just that it's just the first time, and then my sister and Yanzhu come again, and they will definitely not send posts again.
But now, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law sent someone to send a post at the same time.
This approach is really a bit excessive.
"Xianggong, how could the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law send posts at the same time?" The two families don't live together, and now they can send posts at the same time, isn't it negotiable?
Thinking of this, Dong Shu frowned incomprehensibly.
Xu Shiqiu guessed what she was thinking when she saw Dong Shu's expression, nodded, and said, "It should be what you think." ”
This time, his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law must have been discussed.
As for why it was discussed, why his smart sister-in-law did this time, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Listening to Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu moved her lips slightly, and finally said hesitantly: "Do you want to talk to your mother?" ”
"I must have said it, my mother may know it late, but she definitely won't know." Xu Shiqiu spoke in time after Dong Shu's voice fell, he knew his mother, if his mother knew that they were hiding it from her, she would be even more sad.
After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she didn't speak again.
She was very worried about her mother-in-law's body, and whether she would be angry after knowing about it.
It's just that no matter how worried she was, Dong Shu still followed Xu Shiqiu with the post and went to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu was indeed a little angry.
But almost instantly, she returned to her usual posture, looked at Dong Shu, who was worried, and said: "Dong, you don't need to worry, I have seen all the winds and waves, but it is this little thing, and my mother hasn't taken it to heart." ”
After hearing Mrs. Xu's words, Dong Shu hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Mother, why is the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law like this?" ”
As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Mrs. Xu looked at her and chuckled and said, "Dong, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are resentful of me for returning to Beijing without notifying them in advance. I wrote to your sister and Yanzhu, but I didn't write to them. ”
After Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's words, although she understood what was going on, she was still unhappy.
It's just that after all, it was the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law who did this, Dong Shu was not familiar with them, and she didn't want to judge people she didn't know.
What's more, Dong Shu felt that she was stupid, and even if she opened her mouth, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to say anything.
Looking at Dong Shu's face, Mrs. Xu was in a slightly better mood, "Actually, why don't they want to think about it, why didn't I tell them." After saying this, Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea soup from the tea cup in her hand, and then continued: "Your sister and Yanzhu write me a letter almost every half month, but what about them? If they don't write to me, do they still want me, an elder, to take the initiative to write to them? ”
Speaking of this, Old Lady Xu hooked her lips and sneered and continued: "Besides, your sister and Yanzhu's actions are not hidden, clean up the old mansion and send someone to wait for me to come back at the city gate, they are in the capital, how can they not know." At the end of the day, they're just making excuses for themselves. ”
Dong Shu knew that her mother-in-law would be in a bad mood, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only look at her husband on the side.
After Xu Shiqiu noticed Dong Shu's eyes, he immediately raised his eyes and smiled at her.
Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu's smile, and suddenly put down the heart she was carrying.
She thought that there was a way to deal with it.
Xu Shiqiu understood Dong Shu's eyes, but he really didn't have any good way.
It was his mother and his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law who happened, maybe the two brothers also knew this matter, otherwise according to the temperament of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, they would not dare to do such a fair and honest thing.
If they are really in trouble, maybe they will hold the handkerchief and say in surprise, 'Now that the family is separated, aren't the three brothers and sisters in charge?' ’
Now that the family has been separated, and the three siblings are in charge, there is nothing wrong with them sending a post on behalf of the whole family.
It's just that in the end, it's too blunt.
Stiff, not like a brother.
"Mother, since the eldest brother and the second brother are coming according to the rules, then we will also follow the rules in the future."
Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth lightly, and after hearing his words, Mrs. Xu's body paused slightly, and then she looked at him and said, "That's it, just do as you say." After saying this, Mrs. Xu got up and walked towards the house without looking back.
Watching Mrs. Xu leave, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu worriedly and said, "Xianggong, is my mother angry?" ”
Listening to Dong Shu's question, Xu Shiqiu first nodded at her, and then said, "I'm angry." However, my mother has experienced a lot, and although she is sad about this, she will not be sad for too long. ”
Xu Shiqiu understands his mother, and his mother will definitely be angry about this, but she will not be sad for a long time.
His mother had already told him that in this world, parents and children will not accompany him to the end, and only the other half can really accompany him.
My mother said that after her father left, she would not be sad anymore.
But the mother is the mother, he is him.
If his mother is not sad, it does not mean that he will not be angry and angry for his mother.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu glanced sideways at the little lady beside him, and then said softly: "Lady, let's go back, I just have something to tell you." ”
After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she naturally followed him back obediently, waiting to hear what Xu Shiqiu had to say to herself.
It's just that she didn't expect that her own family would let her do this kind of thing.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Although Dong Shu was puzzled, she didn't ask, but just responded to the matter obediently.
Looking at her reaction, Xu Shiqiu was puzzled: "The lady is not curious why her husband wants you to do this?" ”
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "Curious, but Xianggong will definitely not harm me, Xianggong must have asked me to do this for a reason." ”
As soon as Dong Shu, who was well-behaved and obedient and delicate, finished speaking, she was tightly hugged into her arms by Xu Shiqiu, who had been staring at her.
"Lady, I thought about it just now, maybe we don't get along with the eldest brother and the second brother, it will be more conducive to what we have to do next." As he spoke, a ghostly light slipped through Xu Shiqiu's eyes, and then he instantly came back to his senses, lowered his head and kissed Dong Shu's forehead and continued: "The Holy Lord wants to use me, but he must be worried that our Xu family will be too powerful and affect the royal family." Now the eldest brother and the second brother have taken the initiative to start a relationship with us, which is just convenient for our next actions. ”
What Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu said, Dong Shu actually didn't understand too much.
But she insisted a little, she believed everything Xu Shiqiu said.
"What if the Holy One doesn't believe it?" After Dong Shu experienced what happened to Master Xuanling today, she deeply realized the rights of the royal family. understands that even today's sister and brother-in-law have no way to compete with the one in the palace.
After understanding the incident of the Xu family ten years ago, Dong Shu understood that his father-in-law would one day turn his face with that person.
"I won't believe it, at most I'll doubt it." Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and looked up at his eyes to explain, but there was a word in his heart that he didn't say.
The emperor is suspicious, he will believe it.
Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, and after listening to Xu Shiqiu's post about not caring about the big room and the second room for the time being, she really let go of this matter and didn't care.
Perhaps because they heard about this, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu went to Xu's house to visit Mrs. Xu the next morning.
For their arrival, Mrs. Xu was not surprised at all.
Although the two of them are married, they are both in the capital after all, not far apart, and what happens to the Xu family, as long as they have a little more heart, they will know.
What's more, whether it is the Xu family's big house, the second room, or the Xu family's third room, there is no intention to hide it.
"Now it must be rumored that the Xu family will never be the same after the separation, is this not your intention?" Xu Nuanwen looked at Xu Shiqiu and spoke, and after saying this, she continued without waiting for Xu Shiqiu's reply: "You are true or false, but it is indeed a little interesting. ”
Xu Shiqiu understood what his sister meant, raised his eyes to look at her and smiled, and then said seemingly casually: "My sister is here to talk so much today, or is she unwilling to talk about business?" ”
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Yanzhu and Dong Shu looked puzzled, Mrs. Xu chuckled helplessly, and only Xu Nuanwen threw the lid of the teacup in her hand towards Xu Shiqiu in anger.
It's just that Xu Nuanwen's strength is too light, Xu Shiqiu has practiced martial arts for many years, and it doesn't count as catching the lid of the teacup directly, and he didn't forget to get up and return the lid to Xu Nuanwen.
Seeing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Nuanwen snorted coldly and said: "The palace sent the news out, and that person did have some bad thoughts, but he was persuaded to go back again." ”
As soon as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu hooked her lips and sneered: "That's right." Immediately, the sneering expression on his face after the words was also put away.
"Shi Qiu, what do you say is the identity of Master Xuanling, and why can he have such ability?" After saying this, Xu Nuanwen continued without waiting for Xu Shiqiu to answer: "It seems that every time he says something, although he is angry, he will listen in the end." ”
Listening to her sister talk about this, Xu Shiqiu was also very puzzled.
But if he doesn't know about this matter now, it doesn't mean that he hasn't known it all along, and one day, he will find out.
Xu Nuanwen saw that Xu Shiqiu didn't speak, and didn't ask again, but opened her mouth and continued: "That person should have the intention of reusing you, but it depends on whether Master Xuanling can find a way there." ”
After saying this to Xu Shiqiu, Xu Nuanwen glanced at Dong Shu beside him and said, "Although my brother and sister are blessed, I only think this method is hanging." ”
"I know, but if I really want to bring a lady with me in everything in the future, I ...... reluctantly."
Although Xu Shiqiu did not say the last two words, everyone present understood them.
Xu Shiqiu's reading is not as good as his eldest brother Xu Mingyuan, and the only thing he can do is to join the army and be a military general.
But if he had to take Dong Shu with him anytime and anywhere, even if Emperor Ruikang spoke, the courtiers would not agree.
Unless, just a fictitious position.
But this is not what Xu Shiqiu wants.
His father has been dead for ten years, and now that he can't enter the barracks and take over part of the military power, the generals who were loyal to his father back then will eventually forget what happened in the past.
What he has to do now is to enter the barracks as soon as possible, take over part of the military power, and then use his strength to prove that he can.
If Master Xuanling really can't think of a way to let him not have to take the little lady with him and not be affected by bad luck, then he is afraid that he will have to think of another way.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Master Xuanling would quickly find a way, and directly found Xu Shiqiu and asked him if he dared to do so.
After listening to Master Xuanling's words, Xu Shiqiu just chuckled, and then replied, "I took advantage of it." ”
