Chapter 60: Unwillingness

Perhaps it was because Old Lady Xu's expression was too cautious when she said this, Ye Shuo was also frightened by her appearance for a while, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing Ye Shuo's expression, Old Lady Xu looked at him and said, "But don't worry too much, we, the elders, will always protect you." ”

Mrs. Xu didn't tell a lie, she also thought so in her heart, if there really was such a day, she would be desperate not to die, and she would definitely try her best to protect these juniors in the family.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu didn't know about the conversation between Mrs. Xu and Ye Shuo in the main courtyard, and after returning to Shihuan Courtyard, Dong Shu began to think about what she was good at tomorrow at noon in addition to the dishes that Ye Shuo and Xu Yanzhu liked to eat.

As for Xu Shiqiu, he was thinking about the letter his sister wrote to him.

When Dong Shu thought about the dishes to cook tomorrow and washed up and was ready to rest, Xu Shiqiu was still sitting there thinking.

"Xianggong, are you still thinking about things?" Dong Shu watched Xu Shiqiu finish saying this, and after seeing him turn his head to look at himself, he continued: "Is there something to think about tomorrow?" I'm sleepy and want to rest. After saying this, Dong Shu deliberately ripped open her collar and winked playfully at Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Shiqiu was ready to get up when he heard Dong Shu say that he was sleepy, but he didn't expect that his little lady would do such a thing to him next.

After he swallowed the saliva in his mouth hard, he looked at Dong Shu and raised his eyebrows and said, "This is what you invited as a husband, and you can't talk about back pain later." Saying this, Xu Shiqiu directly threw down the letter in his hand and walked towards Dong Shu while untying his clothes.

"Xianggong, you go to the bath first." Dong Shu blinked her crescent moon eyes, looked at Xu Shiqiu and said this seriously, and then didn't forget to add: "I'm waiting for you here." As she spoke, Dong Shu also stretched out her hand and patted the bed.

Seeing the little lady make such an action, Xu Shiqiu took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and then strode towards the ear room, "Cuihua, hurry up and bring me water." ”

Xu Shiqiu's movements were very fast, where could he still remember what his sister said in the letter she wrote to him, and his mind was full of the action of the little lady tearing open her collar just now.

Dong Shu, who was obediently sitting on the bed and waiting for Xianggong, had not yet reacted to how attractive the action she had just done was to Xu Shiqiu, she thought about it simply, but she didn't want Xianggong to continue to sit there stupidly.

She wants to sleep with Sang-ko!

When Xu Shiqiu came back, the tips of his hair still had water stains that had not been wiped off, but he didn't want to wait at all, so he came out of the ear room directly wearing a thin gauze coat, and then rushed to Dong Shu, who was waiting for him on the bed.

"Xianggong, Xianggong, don't worry!"

"Huh? I'm in a hurry! ”

Dong Shu originally thought that as long as Xianggong stopped sitting stupidly, but she forgot that the two of them hadn't been together for several days, and today she just lit a slight fire, but Xu Shiqiu burned completely.

After a night of presumptuousness, when he woke up again the next day, Xu Shiqiu suddenly brightened.

He was entangled so much, afraid of this and afraid of that, but he didn't really ask the little lady.

His little lady is so good, even if he won't be a general in the future, take the little lady to the capital, what is he afraid of?

Thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu got up energetically, but Dong Shu, who didn't show any strength last night, slept for more than half an hour, and only got up after Cuihua came to report to the big kitchen and delivered the meat and vegetables she wanted.

Dong Shu got up and rubbed her waist for a while before she had the strength to stand up, and after waiting for Cuihua for a long time, she could see at a glance what Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu did last night.

But she is a qualified servant, she should not ask, she must not ask, she should not say, she must not say.

"Madam, the meat and vegetables sent from the big kitchen are all coarsely processed, and the servants look fresh and tight, so they must have put their minds into it." Cuihua watched Dong Shu finish saying this, and after sending the hot water in, she cleaned up the bed again, and then prepared to leave with the sheets and other things on the bed, "Madam, I am going to pick up Mr. Shi and his wife, and I can't help you today." ”

Dong Shu glanced at the sheets and other things that Cuihua was holding in her hand, blushed slightly and said, "It's okay, you go and do what the Xianggong told you, and the Xianggong will help me today." After saying this, the heat on Dong Shu's face slowly subsided, "You go out slowly, don't be afraid if something happens, we will definitely support you." ”

"Madame, don't worry, the servant knows it in his heart." Cuihua understood that Madame was referring to her family, and now that she had the words of the old lady, she was naturally not afraid, "The servant will go to work first, and wait for the return to see Madame." After saying this, Cuihua bowed and left.

Waiting for Cuihua to leave, Dong Shu slowly got up from the stool and walked outside.

On the round table outside, there was breakfast that Cuihua had just mentioned, all of which Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu loved to eat.

Dong Shu was just about to sit down at the round table, and Xu Shiqiu, who had finished the morning exercise, also washed up and returned to the main house.

"Cuihua went to pick up Mr. Shi?" Xu Shiqiu glanced at the room and didn't find Cuihua, then looked at Dong Shu and asked such a sentence, and then he looked at the breakfast on the round table, and suddenly thought of the fact that the little lady still had to cook for Ye Shuo and Xu Yanzhu at noon today, "Later, you will cook two fewer dishes, and if you can't do it, let the kitchen send a few." ”

"It's okay, I'm just cooking a few dishes, and it's the first time your nephew has come to the door, and I, as an aunt, will definitely make some dishes to entertain him." Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu's seriousness, and saw that he still seemed a little unhappy, so he said again: "It's good to help me do some more things later, and the two of us will definitely be able to do it soon." ”

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu had to dispel the idea of letting the big kitchen deliver the dishes, and agreed to her cooking for Ye Shuo and Xu Yanzhu.

Today, Dong Shu is going to make the braised pork that Ye Shuo likes to eat and the stir-fried vegetables that Xu Yanzhu likes to eat, and the kitchen also sent a little rooster that was killed and cleaned up.

"Xianggong, the four of us, make four dishes and a soup, will it be a little less?" Dong Shu looked at the ingredients sent from the kitchen, and estimated in his heart, it is estimated that he can make two or three more dishes, "Why don't I make all these dishes?" ”

"No!" How could Xu Shiqiu be willing to let the little lady work so hard, he glanced at the ingredients sent from the big kitchen, looked at Dong Shu and said: "The lady can make more portions of each dish, there is no need to make so much." ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu was worried that Dong Shu would not be happy and hurriedly added: "Think about it, if we are not in the Xu family now, we are just ordinary farmers. Relatives at home can't make so many tricks, so they can only make more portions of each dish. ”

"Xianggong, what you said also makes sense." Dong Shu is easily persuaded by Xu Shiqiu's reasons every time, the key is that she also thinks what he said is very reasonable, "Then follow the method you said." ”

There are more vegetables in early summer, and I don't want to think that there are only a few kinds of vegetables in early spring.

The Xu family has money again, and Dong Shu said yesterday that he would invite Ye Shuo to dinner.

Ye Shuo's identity is known to the slightly older servants of the Xu family.

With the reminders of these people, the kitchen is naturally attentive when preparing the ingredients, for fear that it will embarrass the Xu family and make the royal heirs unsatisfied.

Of course, they still want to do it themselves, but after hearing that Ye Shuo personally wants to eat the food cooked by Dong Shu, they can only be more careful when preparing the ingredients.

In addition to the three dishes mentioned earlier, Dong Shu saw that the spring leeks were good, and there were also local eggs sent, so she prepared to use the spring leeks to scramble an egg and cook a fish soup.

Dong Shu said according to Xu Shiqiu, although only four dishes and one soup were prepared, the amount of each dish was very sufficient.

Although Ye Shuo is now 'the age when half the eldest child eats Lao Tzu', today's dishes are still enough for him to eat.

"Third uncle, the food you cook is really delicious." Ye Shuo ate happily, when he was in the Prince's Mansion in the capital, although he ate exquisitely, every dish seemed to have lost his soul, although the current dishes looked like ordinary peasant meals, but it made him have a great appetite.

"Third aunt, this dish of scrambled eggs with leeks, I eat it really delicious, much better than the cook at home."

Ye Shuo originally said that he liked to eat meat, but today except for the vegetables that Xu Yanzhu likes to eat, he has eaten a lot of the other three dishes and one soup.

Especially this spring leek with golden egg pieces that he wasn't very interested in at first.

"This spring leek was just cut in the morning, fresh and tight, and recently it is a good time to eat spring leeks. I don't know if you like to eat dumplings, if you like, use this spring leek to wrap dumplings, it is also very fragrant. Dong Shu looked at Ye Shuo After saying this, she thought for a while and continued: "Actually, there are still a lot of things that can be eaten in the village, but there is little food at home, but I have eaten a lot before. ”

Dong Shu didn't have the slightest intention to hide that she was an ordinary peasant girl before and had a bad life.

Seeing that Ye Shuo listened seriously when he said this, he immediately said more.

Xu Shiqiu just sat on the sidelines and listened to the little lady talk about the interesting things she had encountered with a smile on her face, and what she would do in previous years.

"The mulberries should be almost ripe, in previous years we would go to the village to find mulberries to eat, as long as we find a ripe one, we will be happy for a long time." Dong Shu said these things with bright eyes, as if she thought of the delicious food she had eaten in previous years, and after swallowing the saliva in her mouth, she continued: "In previous years, if there was anything that I didn't finish, I would secretly dry it and keep it for later to eat slowly." ”

Dong Shu's pictures of saying these are indeed tempting, but what makes Ye Shuo's heart move is not the mulberries that are very unpalatable for her, but this happiness.

Freedom, running around the village with a group of friends of the same age, climbing trees if you want to, and never being scolded by the elders for climbing trees.

The more he thought about it, the brighter Ye Shuo's eyes became, and after he glanced at Dong Shu, who also had bright eyes, he looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Third uncle, since the third aunt likes it so much, why don't you take us out to have a look?" ”

Ye Shuo watched as soon as Xu Shiqiu's words fell, Dong Shu immediately looked at Xu Shiqiu expectantly, thinking that it would be really great if Xianggong could take him out!

"It's not impossible to take you out." Xu Shiqiu didn't have the intention of keeping Dong Shu at home all day, he also understood that Ye Shuo's age was the age when he wanted to run out the most, and it was better for him to take him out than to let him run out by himself.

"Not today, though." Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu finish saying this first, and saw that the faces of the two of them instantly showed a look of disappointment, and then he spoke again: "Cuihua went to pick up Mr. Shi, it should be back soon, I always have to wait for Mr. Shi to arrive at home." So I thought, how about you go down today and prepare at home, and I'll take you out for a day tomorrow morning? In the end, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanzhu, who was silent on the side.

"Third uncle, I won't go out." After Xu Yanzhu avoided Xu Shiqiu's gaze, he spoke again: "It's good for the third uncle to take the third aunt and Cousin Shuo out." ”

Ye Shuo was still excited because Xu Shiqiu agreed to take him out to play, but who knew that the next moment he heard his cousin say such things.

"Cousin, the third uncle will definitely accompany the third uncle tomorrow, isn't it good for you to be with me?" Ye Shuo didn't know what happened to Xu Yanzhu before, he just felt that there were only five masters here in Xiahe Village, his grandmother was old, and he definitely didn't like to do these things, and his cousin was a few years older than him, so he definitely liked these too.

"Cousin Shuo, my cousin has something to do tomorrow, you can just go out with the third uncle and the third aunt." Xu Yanzhu didn't want to explain more, but she insisted that she didn't want to go out.

This made Ye Shuo and Dong Shu, who were originally happy, a little sad.

Seeing that the little lady was sad, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Yanzhu, are you reluctant to go out because you want to get married?" ”

"What, my cousin is going to get married!"
