What Mrs. Xu could think of, Xu Shiqiu, who was sitting on the side, could also think of.

Dong Shu couldn't figure it out so much for a while, and she didn't know that after she released a koi the day before she became a parent, she was born with a beast-like intuition.

With today's beast-like intuition, she looked at the expressions of her mother-in-law and father-in-law, and clearly knew that this matter would not be so simple.

How to deal with this matter, the most powerful person in the Xu family is Mrs. Xu.

Old Mrs. Xu didn't let the two brothers Xu Jun and Xu Jie, who were waiting for her, wait for a long time, she only thought for a moment, and then looked at Xu Jie and said: "The Xu family has a lot of excellent maids, since you have arrived here, you can find it yourself."

In addition to the maids of the Xu family, if you fancy the girls in the village or the town in the future, you can tell me, I will help you consider it, and then propose. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu paused for a moment before she looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Shiqiu, I see that you are the same age as Xu Jie, why don't you take him as a righteous son for your father and let him be a brother to you?" ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu heard his mother's words, he guessed his mother's thoughts, and he caught a glimpse of the excited expressions on Xu Jun and Xu Jie's faces, thought about it and shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate." ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words fell, even the old lady Xu, including Xu Jun and Xu Jie, showed a look of regret on their faces.

Especially Xu Jie, there was a look of shame on his face, thinking that Xu Shiqiu didn't look down on his identity.

Mrs. Xu also thought that Xu Shiqiu didn't look down on Xu Jie's background, because she was worried that Xu Jun and Xu Jie's brothers would be dissatisfied, she was just about to make up for it, but she saw Xu Shiqiu looking at her and shaking her head with a smile.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu saw his mother and Xu Jun and Xu Jie's expressions, he knew that they had guessed something wrong about their own thoughts, and he really didn't look down on Xu Jie's background.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly looked at his mother and said: "I heard my mother mention the friendship between Uncle Xu and his father before, if my mother wants more than one son, I think it's better to have more nephews." ”

Xu Shiqiu looked at Mrs. Xu who had just finished saying this, and Mrs. Xu, who was still worried in her heart just now, was immediately stunned, and then looked at him with a little surprise and said, "I didn't think about it." ”

After saying this, Mrs. Xu hurriedly looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie at the bottom and explained: "What Shiqiu meant just now was that your father had a good relationship with his father, and his surname happened to be Xu, so it was better to connect your family with ours."

In this way, your father has become his father's own brother, and you have naturally become the heir of our Xu family. ”

Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that Xu Jun and Xu Jie would not understand what she meant, and after saying this, she thought about it and added: "Although our Xu family is not a big family, after all, there was once a general who was a first-class official.

Although it is not as beautiful as before in the court, there are still some connections after all.

If you are willing, in the future, if your children and grandchildren want to participate in the imperial examination or join the army, our family will help you, which is much more justifiable. ”

Lianzong is a big deal.

It's not that Mrs. Xu dared to agree when she said that Xu Jun and Xu Jie, after listening to Xu Shiqiu and Mrs. Xu's words, the two brothers also understood that it was better to be recognized by Mrs. Xu as a righteous son.

But they didn't dare to say yes so casually.

But the two brothers understood their father's thoughts, and as soon as they received the letter from the Xu family this time, their father, who didn't know a few words, specially threw down the things in the field, braved the spring rain and walked to the town, found the nephew of the eldest brother's family who was studying in the town school, and asked him to tell him his faith.

After figuring out what the letter was about, their father went home and called them by name, asking all four of their brothers to help.

In the end, it was the eldest brother who said that the family's field could not be left behind, and it was also after leaving a way out for the whole family, and the last people who came became the three brothers and the family.

Xu Jun and Xu Jie both knew that even if they agreed to this now, they would only be happy when their father knew, but at this time, they still didn't dare to agree directly.

Mrs. Xu has read countless people, and when she saw the expressions of the two brothers, she guessed their thoughts, thought about it, and said directly: "In this matter, I will write a letter to your father, and you also just send a letter back to report safety."

Regardless of whether your father agrees to this matter in the end or not, if you are here, you will be at your uncle's house, and Shi Qiu will be your cousin. ”

With Mrs. Xu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie nodded at her with a sigh of relief.

Xu Shiqiu also believed that his mother could handle this matter well, so after Mrs. Xu's words fell, Xu Shiqiu looked directly at Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said: "I was born on October 24, the fifteenth year of Ruikang, I don't know if the two are brothers or a brother and a brother?" ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu spoke, in addition to Xu Jun and Xu Jie, they were immediately attracted to attention, but Dong Shu was the first to be attracted to attention.

Dong Shu also remembered that she had been married to Xianggong for so long, so she naturally didn't know about Xianggong's birthday.

She silently wrote down this matter in her heart, thinking that when she waited until October this year, she would carefully prepare a birthday gift for her father-in-law.

Just when Dong Shu was distracted, the two brothers Xu Jun and Xu Jie, who heard Xu Shiqiu's question, immediately glanced at each other quickly, and then Xu Jie looked at Xu Shiqiu and smiled proudly: "That's really a coincidence, the third brother is three years older than me, and I happened to be born on October 23 of the fifteenth year of Ruikang." ”

When Xu Jie said this, the smug look on his face couldn't be suppressed.

After hearing his words, Xu Shiqiu thought that he deliberately lied to him and wanted to be his brother.

Who knew that just when Xu Shiqiu was about to speak, Xu Jun said to Xu Shiqiu: "The fourth brother didn't lie to you, he was indeed born at noon on October 23, after giving birth to him that day, on the third day, my father originally wanted to go to the capital to report the good news to you, but when I arrived in the capital, I heard about what happened in your house the day before." ”

As soon as Xu Jun finished saying this, he realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said.

He looked at Xu Shiqiu with some guilt, and just wanted to open his mouth to explain, but Xu Shiqiu, who had already reacted, took the initiative to look at him and said: "Third brother doesn't need to mind, I was indeed unlucky to hurt the people around me before." The midwife who delivered me did have an accident.

However, after I got married, as long as I have a lady by my side, it will not affect the people around me.

So every time I discuss things with my brothers in the future, I'm afraid that I will definitely bring the lady with me, and I hope my brothers don't mind. ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't think there was anything bad to say these words, he minded these things before, it was the person who met him before, and he always looked at him with strange eyes.

But just now he could feel that Xu Jun said those words, but he definitely didn't dislike him.

Xu Jun didn't expect Xu Shiqiu's temperament to be so easy to talk to, and they were worried about getting along with him unhappily before they came, but now it seems that this kind of thing will not happen.

Thinking of this, Xu Jun hurriedly looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Shiqiu, don't worry, people like us don't have so many rules.

The women of our families are not the little ladies of big families, and they don't go out all day.

So as long as the younger siblings don't think that we people are straight talkers, and sometimes like to say a few foul words, of course we don't mind that the younger siblings are there. ”

Xu Jun watched Xu Shiqiu finish saying this, and Xu Shiqiu subconsciously looked at Dong Shu beside him.

Dong Shu wanted to speak when she heard Xu Jun's previous words, but she still remembered the rules she had learned from Xu Yanzhu before, so she didn't interrupt.

It wasn't until this meeting looked at him that Dong Shu said with a smile on his face: "Third brother don't worry, I am a peasant girl, how can I not get used to the temperament of the third brother and the fourth brother." ”

After saying this, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and smiled sweetly, and said with some grievances: "Xianggong, you knew me at the time, I am not one of those women who will drag Xianggong back." ”

As soon as he heard Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu was immediately stunned, and then in the joking laughter of other people in the hall, he hurriedly got up and waved at Dong Shu and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"I thought about the wrong lady for my husband just now."

After saying this to Dong Shu, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said, "As soon as my mother sent the letter before, the younger brother asked the servants to clean up the two courtyards. Now that the second brother and the third brother have brought their families here, the second brother and the third brother will each take their families to live in a courtyard. After saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jie again and said: "The fourth brother has not yet married, so it's not good to live in the back, why don't you arrange a place for the fourth brother in the front yard?" ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words fell, Xu Jun shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, we also lived in the same courtyard when we were at home before, and my father explained before we came, so that the two of us still live with our fourth brother."

The second sister-in-law takes care of our food, my wife takes care of the family's clothing, the daughters follow their mothers to do things, and the sons follow our three brothers to help you do things. ”

As soon as Xu Jun's words fell, Xu Shiqiu was immediately stunned.

He really didn't expect that the sons of the Xu family, even if they arrived here, would still keep in mind their father's instructions.

However, since they asked for this, Xu Shiqiu could only arrange Tingfeng Courtyard, which was a little closer to Shihuan Courtyard and had a larger area, to them.

"Tingfeng Courtyard is a two-entry courtyard, the first into the main house has five rooms, the east and west side rooms each three.

The second entrance of Tingfeng Courtyard in Xiahe Village is an open space, and there is a maple forest in Tingfeng Courtyard in the capital, but we will not return to Beijing this year. ”

Xu Shiqiu did not hide it from Xu Jun and Xu Jie, and revealed to them that he would not return to Beijing this year.

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and continued: "I wonder if there are only a few brothers who came this time? ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words fell, the two brothers Xu Jun and Xu Jie immediately glanced at each other, and the old lady Xu also raised her head to look at the two brothers Xu Jun and Xu Jie.

At the beginning, her letter was indeed written to Xu Er, and it was also said in the letter that if there were many sons in the group of brothers who followed Xu Shiqiu and his father, and those who wanted to fight for a future could also come together.

It's just that now, only Xu Er's sons are here.
