Chapter 121: Get Ready
Xu Shiqiu's heart jumped when he heard Xu Nuanwen's words, and he knew in his heart that if there was no problem at this time, his sister would not speak.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Nuanwen and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with this time?" After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't wait for Xu Nuanwen to answer and continued: "Generally, the training of recruits is either three months or half a year, so today the saint said three months, and I didn't think much about it. ”
As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words fell, Xu Nuanwen immediately shook her head, "Do you remember what I told you before, Master Xuanling's approval of the royal family?" ”
"What does my sister mean is that in three months, it will be the time that Master Xuanling said?" Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth to say this, and his brows furrowed.
Seeing him with such a look, Xu Nuanwen hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, according to the time said by Master Xuanling, it should be from the end of this year to the beginning of next year." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen continued under Xu Shiqiu's puzzled gaze: "It's just that according to Master Xuanling's hexagram, at the end of this autumn, there will be a catastrophe in the Holy Heavens. ”
Specifically, Xu Nuanwen doesn't know very well, but the news she reveals now is enough for Xu Shiqiu to digest.
"But I don't think you need to worry too much about this, now that the Holy Lord already knows that his brother and sister are blessed, he must be able to protect you even if it is for himself."
Xu Nuanwen didn't tell a lie, but Xu Shiqiu still frowned after hearing her words.
According to his plan, after having an official position, he will slowly take charge of the military power, even if he can't completely take over the military power left by his father, he must have his own place among the generals.
Emperor Ruikang is old, the princes have grown up, and the battle for the throne will definitely not work without military power.
If he can support his brother-in-law to ascend to the throne, the enemy of the third prince will definitely be able to solve it.
As for Reconti......
Thinking of Rui Kangdi's actions of protecting his son and covering up the evidence of his son's crimes, Xu Shiqiu thought in his heart that maybe letting Rui Kangdi personally watch his sons betray him one after another would make him even more sad.
After thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu opened his eyes and looked at Xu Nuanwen and said, "Sister, don't inquire about this matter anymore, no matter what it is, I still have to recruit and train recruits." When I have soldiers in my hands, even if I have anything at that time, I can protect the whole family. ”
As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished saying this, only Dong Shu, Yuan Xi and Ye Xuan in the hall didn't understand what he meant.
Even Ye Shuo, who took Ye Xuan to tease Yuan Xi, subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Shiqiu, the third uncle.
Since ancient times, the battle for the throne, the king has been defeated, and the person who has failed, if there are soldiers in his hands, he can win some benefits, even if he really can't, he can protect his family and leave.
This is also the reason why Ye Shuo wanted to go to the barracks to join the army after realizing what his father was going to do.
Thinking of this, the highest-ranking old lady in the room finally sighed and said, "Shiqiu, since you want to do it, then give it a try, everything is with me." ”
As soon as Old Lady Xu spoke, Xu Shiqiu instantly raised her eyes and looked at her and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will make sure that you are all safe before you do it." ”
Dong Shu didn't know what her father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister were talking about just now, but although she couldn't understand it, she could feel from the atmosphere of their conversation that what they discussed was very important.
It wasn't until Xu Shiqiu's voice fell that she spoke: "I believe that Xianggong will definitely be able to." ”
As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu and the others instantly fell on her.
Sensing their gaze falling on him, Dong Shu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" But am I not right? ”
"No, with the words of a lady, a husband will only have more confidence." Xu Shiqiu didn't want Dong Shu to notice more, so he hurriedly spoke when Dong Shu's voice fell.
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately believed his words, and the crooked crescent eyes also smiled into two crescents.
Seeing Dong Shu's expression, Xu Shiqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Shiqiu knew in his heart that no matter what, since he already had an official position, the first thing he would do next was to recruit and train troops.
After Dong Shu saw that Xu Shiqiu had no intention of continuing to speak, she told what she had just discussed with Xu Shiqiu on the mule cart.
"I haven't been to Zhuangzi yet, and the weather will be hot in a while, Yanzhu, will you also go to Zhuangzi to live for a while?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu expectantly, and a pair of crescent moon eyes were full of curiosity about Zhuangzi.
Xu Yanzhu has been to Zhuangzi twice, but the previous two times she went was in the morning and came back in the afternoon, this time I heard Dong Shu say that she was going to live for a while, she only thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, after the queen's birthday, I will accompany my grandmother and third aunt to Zhuangzi to live for some time." ”
Xu Nuanwen also wants to go to Zhuangzi to live, although her Zhuangzi is not next door to Xu Shiqiu's Zhuangzi, it is not too far away.
However, as the fifth princess, even if the queen's birthday ends, she will not be able to live in Zhuangzi for a long time.
"I can't excel in Zhuangzi, but it doesn't matter if I stay for two days, the most important thing is to see how well Brother Xuan'er is doing. If his health is good, then let Brother Huan take Brother Xuan to live in Zhuangzi with you for a few days. ”
Ye Xuan was not in good health before, and he couldn't leave the capital too far, so he was afraid that he wouldn't have time to see a doctor when he got sick.
Ye Xuan has also been to Zhuangzi a few times, but every time he went out before, he had to bring a lot of people, and now he is getting better and better, maybe he will go out to Zhuangzi this year to live, and he really doesn't have to take the doctor with him.
"There is Dr. Du at home, Dr. Du will definitely follow us then, with Dr. Du here, my sister doesn't have to worry." Dong Shu also thinks that more people are interesting, she was pregnant last summer and can't be greedy.
What's more, Xiahe Village is cooler than the capital, and she doesn't need to be cool.
But the capital is different, although she hasn't experienced it yet, but listening to others' stories, she can probably guess how hot the capital will be after the ambush.
After saying this, Mrs. Xu said: "After the queen's birthday, the family will hold a small banquet and invite a few good families to contact each other." After saying this, Mrs. Xu thought for a while and continued: "It just so happens that I also choose a room for Yan Lang to marry. ”
As soon as they heard Mrs. Xu's words, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu immediately glanced at each other.
They all reacted that what Mrs. Xu didn't finish just now should be such a thing.
"Grandmother, how can you bother to see Yanlang's marriage?" Xu Yanzhu didn't understand a little, although she was secretly helping Xu Yanlang, she had always grasped a good degree.
Even if she is angry with her father and mother and two younger brothers, as long as Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei are surnamed Xu, she will still reach out when she knows that they need help.
This is the reason for a family, even if there is no family affection, as long as it is a family, when she knows that the other party needs help, Xu Yanzhu will still reach out.
But because of what happened before, it was impossible for her to pay special attention to them and help them no matter what.
Mrs. Xu should have known what Xu Yanzhu had done during this time, so after hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, she immediately nodded and said, "Your father and mother are quite smart and know that their vision is not good, so they will ask me here." After saying this, Mrs. Xu thought for a while and continued: "What's more, Yan Lang's request this time is quite normal, I thought about it, instead of letting your father and mother marry Yan Lang a daughter-in-law casually, it is better for me to spend some time and find a smart person to help him." ”
Mrs. Xu understood that it would definitely not work for the second room to rely on Xu Xiaozhi and the Jiang family.
But Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei are still saved, she put a little effort into it, if she can help the second room, she can be regarded as worthy of the deceased husband.
As soon as Xu Yanzhu heard Mrs. Xu's words, she understood what she meant.
"I don't know what kind of family relationship Yanlang wants to find?"
As soon as Xu Yanzhu spoke, before Mrs. Xu could answer, Xu Nuanwen had already spoken: "Jing Xing has a staff member, who is a tried-and-true person, and he is very good at learning, his wife was born in a merchant, and there are only two daughters under his knees. He has not taken a concubine for so many years, and has been guarding his wife and two daughters. His eldest daughter will be next month, I have seen it a few times before, she is literate, can calculate accounts and knows how to do business, and she is a good hand at home and abroad. ”
If Xu Xiaozhi and Jiang came to talk to Xu Nuanwen, Xu Nuanwen might be reluctant to tell Xu Yanlang about this girl.
But now that Mrs. Xu wants to help Xu Yanlang look at the marriage, Xu Yanzhu said that she cares, so she has one more mouth.
As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Nuanwen's words, she came to her senses.
She wanted to find a smart and capable lady for Xu Yanlang before, and she would hold all the things in the second room in her hands in the future.
Although the girl Xu Nuanwen said has no brothers, her father is a staff member under Ye Jingxing, and as long as Ye Jingxing can succeed in the future, then this staff member will definitely have an official position.
And his identity as a person is just neither high nor low, he has no official position in the second room, he has been in business, he has a mother-in-law who was born in a business, and Xu Yanlang also has a helper in business.
Xu Nuanwen saw that her mother was moved, so she continued: "But this girl looks average, she looks like her father, and she is not as good-looking as her sister." And I listened to her mother's meaning, as if I originally planned to keep my eldest daughter at home to collect money and pass on incense. ”
After talking about the advantages, Xu Nuanwen did not forget to talk about the shortcomings.
Mrs. Xu also understood this, and finally she nodded and said, "I'll see if there are any marriages suitable for Yan Lang among relatives and friends in the next few days, and you can test this girl's mother when you go back." If she's interested, then I'll take a chance to visit your house. After thinking about it, Mrs. Xu and Xu Nuanwen continued: "Although it is also a way to recruit money, there is always a problem that men who are willing to enter the imperial examination cannot take the imperial examination. You tell this girl's mother that if she is willing to marry our family, she will have a second son who can follow their family name in the future. ”
Mrs. Xu made it clear that she was a person from the past and understood the shortcomings of recruitment.
As soon as Xu Nuanwen heard her mother's words, she understood that her mother really felt that the girl she was talking about was suitable.
Otherwise, she would never have made such a promise.
She glanced at Xu Yanzhu, and saw that Xu Yanzhu's eyes were also shining, and after obviously being interested in this girl, she spoke: "Then I will talk to her mother when I go back later." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen thought for a while and continued to whisper: "Actually, I was originally thinking about her little girl. As she spoke, Xu Nuanwen didn't forget to glance at Ye Xuan.
As soon as they saw her eyes, everyone understood what she meant.
Although Ye Xuan is the grandson of the emperor, he is not in good health, and he wants to find a suitable marriage, but he is afraid that if he dies early, he will leave a lady born in a wealthy family.
But the daughter of Ye Jingxing's staff is not bad, and she should have known Ye Xuan since she was a child, so it is not surprising that Xu Nuanwen has this idea.
It's just that now Ye Xuan's health is getting better and better, Xu Nuanwen will suppress this idea.
After saying this, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu left the Xu family.
After they left, Xu Shiqiu also took Dong Shu back to Shihuan Courtyard.
Xu Shiqiu still has half a day to accompany Dong Shu today, and he will report to the military camp outside the city early tomorrow morning.
After they left, Mrs. Xu also began to wonder if there was a suitable marriage for Xu Yanlang among relatives and friends.
In addition to pondering this matter, Mrs. Xu did not forget to open the yellow calendar to see if there would be a good day for a banquet after the queen's birthday was over.
After everyone got busy, Dong Shu also continued to be busy with the queen's birthday gifts, and it was not until the evening before the queen's birthday that Dong Shu finally prepared the birthday gift for the queen.
