Although they had already guessed, Dong Shu and Mrs. Xu still felt a little unbelievable that they would really see the people who came.

Mrs. Xu is okay, she has experienced the prosperity of the Xu family, but Dong Shu is really frightened.

She didn't expect so many people to come today.

Fortunately, Dong Shu's panic was only instantaneous, and there was an old lady Xu by her side, and her distraction was not discovered, otherwise after today, there would definitely be some rumors in the capital.

After Dong Shu temporarily settled these guests who came to the banquet, Xu Nuanwen also received the latest news and hurried over.

"I thought that even if there would be more people, there would not be too many, but I didn't expect so many people to come." There were too many people here, and it was not that the Xu family couldn't receive them, but they didn't plan to invite so many people to come.

It's just that these people have some relationship with their in-laws, and some even come directly with their in-laws.

Looking at the embarrassed looks of the in-laws, Dong Shu and the others couldn't directly drive these people away.

Xu Nuanwen knew that her younger siblings were not sociable people, she raised her hand and patted the back of Dong Shu's hand, and comforted: "Don't worry, these people are all coming for me, just leave it to me." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen didn't wait for Dong Shu to speak, so she walked directly towards the hall where the Xu family had placed the guests.

With the arrival of Xu Nuanwen, the originally quiet hall suddenly became lively.

Listening to the lively conversation in the hall, Dong Shu glanced at the old lady Xu beside her and said, "Mother, why don't you go in and rest." If they come again, I will lead them into the hall. ”

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Mrs. Xu looked at her and smiled: "Today, the Xu family's biggest living room is probably going to be full." After saying this, Mrs. Xu shook her head again and said, "Later, I will directly ask your sister to lead them to enjoy the flowers, and if you don't want to go, stay in the hall and talk to me." Tell me now, that the servants do not forget to bring in tea and refreshments. ”

Mrs. Xu knew that Dong Shu was still not very good at such occasions, so she handed over these things to her.

As for the women who came in the house with a purpose, they were naturally left to their mother and daughter to entertain.

Dong Shu understands her mother-in-law's kindness, so naturally she will not refuse.

If there weren't so many people today, she might still be able to hold on, but with so many people, and they all came with a purpose, she really didn't dare to have too much contact with these people.

Her mind is not enough to deal with these people.

For Dong Shu not to come in to accompany him, but to go out to prepare tea and snacks, etc., the ladies and relatives of the Xu family were not surprised.

They just thought they came rashly, and the Xu family had not prepared before, so Dong Shu could only hurry to prepare.

What's more, the main purpose of their coming to the Xu family today is Xu Nuanwen and Mrs. Xu, these two people are here, and it really doesn't matter if Dong Shu comes or not.

Dong Shu didn't want to have too much contact with those people, so she stayed outside until she really had nothing to do, and then went to the hall.

As soon as she arrived in the hall, she heard Xu Nuanwen looking at everyone: "The Xu family's garden is cleaned up well, and it will just be warm, but someone will go to the garden with me?" ”

The future queen opened her mouth, and there were naturally many responses.

Except for a few older ladies who wanted to stay and talk to Mrs. Xu, the other ladies and girls all got up one after another and wanted to follow Xu Nuanwen to the garden for a walk.

Dong Shu heard this outside the door, and hurriedly walked into the hall and said, "Am I late?" Are you still delicious with refreshments? ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Nuanwen walked towards her with a smile, directly took her hand and said with a smile: "There are Lao brothers and sisters today, how can the refreshments you personally prepare be unpalatable." After saying this to Dong Shu, Xu Nuanwen raised her eyes and glanced at the other ladies and girls around her, and when they all responded, she looked at Dong Shu and continued: "We were talking about wanting to go to the garden just now, I wonder if my brother and sister will be busy?" If my brother and sister are free, they can lead us for a walk. ”

Xu Nuanwen put herself in the position of a guest in front of Dong Shu, just to highlight Dong Shu's status as the new hostess of the Xu family.

Dong Shu also understood what Xu Nuanwen meant, and when she saw her words fall, she replied with a smile: "Look at what my sister said, the flowers in the garden were planted by my sister in the early years, but I have enjoyed my sister's blessings, and now I can enjoy the flowers directly." ”

After saying this to Xu Nuanwen, Dong Shu said directly to the other ladies and girls: "The garden in the house was cleaned up by my sister before, and you will look at it later, but you have to talk to your sister well, and the sister who is good to coax is happy, and come to see the Xu family's garden more in the future." ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words came out, several laughter suddenly sounded in the hall.

The younger generations didn't dare to laugh even if they wanted to, and the only ones who could laugh out loud without fear were a few old ladies who sat there motionless.

"Since you want to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, go quickly, and then go to eat some unique food after enjoying the flowers, so that you have not come in vain."

Old Lady Xu sat on the top and said this with a smile, but her words made the hearts of those thoughtful ladies and girls tremble.

Does this mean that they are destined to run in vain?

No matter what, Xu Nuanwen finally took them to the Xu family's garden.

The Xu family has many gardens, but the largest garden in the backyard is reserved for guests.

Today's garden was specially cleaned up, and as soon as I walked in, I smelled the fragrance of chrysanthemums.

If you have a purpose, you will talk around Xu Nuanwen, and if you are a guest, you will talk around Dong Shu.

Most of the people surrounding Dong Shu are in-laws, such as the mother-in-law of the Hu family, the wife of the Zhang family and the wife of the Xu family.

Several people got together, followed by the girls in the family, because of the relationship between the in-laws, and now the relationship between the girls is also good, chattering together, and the words are full of the cheerful words of the little daughter.

As for the ladies who walked in front, although they had their own thoughts in their hearts, when they opened their mouths with Dong Shu, they didn't talk nonsense.

After a few people enjoyed the scenery, they began to talk about their children again.

Among these ladies, Dong Shu is the youngest, although they are of the same generation, but she and Xu Shiqiu are now only Yuan Xi alone.

Speaking of Yuan Xi, although Dong Shu's words were irritable, there was joy between his eyebrows.

"Now that Yuan Xi is getting bigger and bigger, I really can't coax her. It doesn't seem to be able to speak, but the person is very fine. I really don't know how this child grows, and I can't even resist it. ”

As soon as Dong Shu's voice fell, Mrs. Xu immediately answered: "Then your family Yuanxi is really clever, and the two of my family are not so clever when they are as old as her." After saying this, Mrs. Xu smiled and continued: "It is said that nieces are more like aunts, I heard that the fifth princess was also praised by many people when she was young. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu's words came out, Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, yes." At that time, her aunt was famous in the capital, otherwise she would not have caused the prince to leave the palace frequently. After saying this, Mrs. Zhang still winked at Dong Shu and the others.

Dong Shu understood that what Mrs. Zhang was talking about when her brother-in-law met her sister by chance, and after she often found various excuses to go out of the palace to see her sister, the Xu family saw her sister.

Although many years have passed since this incident, many people know about it.

The Zhang family is the brother-in-law's foreign family, so they are naturally clear about this matter.

Mrs. Hu didn't want to comment on the fact that the five princes often came to the Xu family to find Xu Nuanwen, so she could only speak: "I think there is some truth in the saying that nieces are more like aunts, and several girls in our family are indeed a little like aunts." ”

Dong Shu didn't know which generation of girls the Hu family's wife was talking about, but according to the temperament of Mrs. Hu's family, she must have thought that it would be best to climb to the Hu family's daughter in the palace.

However, Dong Shu's goal today has been achieved, so she didn't delve into it, and after leading a few people to continue walking forward for a distance, she saw Xu Yanzhu looming in the dark in front of her.

As soon as she saw Xu Yanzhu, Dong Shu's footsteps were immediately stunned, and her strange appearance quickly attracted the attention of several ladies around her.

Everyone followed Dong Shu's line of sight, and when they saw Xu Yanzhu sitting under the porch in front of them, several people didn't know how to speak for a while.

Sensing that everyone's eyes were already looking towards Xu Yanzhu, Dong Shu let out a long sigh.
