Chapter 15: Discontent

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and promised: "Tomorrow, I will take you to see your mother, and then let the second brother's Yanzhu play with you." Xu Shiqiu also just remembered that Xu Yanzhu of the second brother's family lived in his mother's yard.

She and the little lady are the same age, so they must be able to talk about going together.

The most important thing is that Xu Shiqiu really wants to avoid Dong Shu tomorrow.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to take the little lady away, but he was afraid that her nap time was too short and he couldn't finish what he was doing.

But when I think about it, I think it's a good idea to take her away for a while.

Dong Shu didn't know Xu Shiqiu's thoughts, after hearing what Xu Shiqiu said, she looked at him a little nervously and expectantly: "Xianggong, I will go to see my mother tomorrow, do you want to prepare anything?" ”

Dong Shu blinked at Xu Shiqiu with a big crescent moon, and seeing the nervousness and expectation on the little lady's face, Xu Shiqiu sighed helplessly: "I didn't take you to see my mother before, in addition to worrying about my own situation, another reason is that my mother is a person who attaches great importance to rules and etiquette." ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't want to see the little lady being disliked by his mother, but when he saw the expectant look on her face, he felt that he might be too worried.

Dong Shu didn't understand too much what the 'rules and etiquette' in Xu Shiqiu's mouth were, but she thought that the life of Xianggong's family was so good, it must be different from the villagers in their village.

Thinking of the style of the ladies of a big family in the town once, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and frowned and said, "Xianggong, don't worry about me, I learn things quickly." As long as I have seen it once, I can learn the three-point image.

If my mother thinks I'm not good, then I'll study hard, and I'm sure I'll be able to learn it quickly.

As long as my mother won't drive me away from you, I will obediently learn what you said about 'rules and etiquette'. ”

Dong Shu said this seriously, but Xu Shiqiu felt distressed when he heard it in his ears.

His little lady, who was originally so happy since childhood, is now willing to learn something he doesn't understand for him.

Such a little lady, how can he not spoil her.

"Okay, I'll take you to see my mother tomorrow, if you don't feel tired, I'll let Yanzhu teach you." Xu Shiqiu also thought that the eldest niece was taught by his mother herself, and let Yanzhu teach the little lady, with her own presence, even if the little lady can't learn well, presumably Yanzhu doesn't dare to say anything about her.

Xu Shiqiu felt that his idea was very good, and at the same time, he also decided in his heart that if the little lady was not used to it tomorrow, he would bring the little lady back.

It's a big deal, in the future, the couple will stay in Shihuan Courtyard and don't see the rest of the family!

Because Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu discussed the night before to see Mrs. Xu, and the next morning, after Xu Shiqiu practiced in the morning, he directly led Dong Shu to the main courtyard where his mother lived.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu planned to go to the main courtyard after breakfast, but after Mrs. Xu learned that her third son was going to bring her daughter-in-law to greet her this morning, she specially sent someone to send a message to Xu Shiqiu, asking them to go to the main courtyard for dinner this morning.

"There is an old servant at my mother's house, and the steamed dumplings made are the best, and they will definitely be there this morning." Thinking of the crystal clear steamed dumplings sent by his mother when he was a child, the corners of Xu Shiqiu's mouth immediately showed a nostalgic smile.

Seeing Dong Shu looking at him with expectation and some nervousness, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly continued: "You don't have to be afraid to see your mother later, your mother is very good, but she values rules and etiquette." ”

When Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong, I will definitely see more and say less." After saying this, Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu staring at her, her cheeks were slightly red and said, "Xianggong, if I eat too much, my mother won't be angry, right?" ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his little lady to be worried about this kind of thing, and after shaking his head affirmatively at her, he said: "Don't worry, you won't be angry as much as you eat."

And maybe my mother will be happy, she likes to see the younger generation eat more, and she feels that this is a blessing. After saying this, Xu Shiqiu reached out and grabbed Dong Shu's hand, held her hand in his palm, and then took her to the main courtyard.

In fact, he could feel the nervousness of the little lady, but at this time, he would not turn around and go back to Shihuanyuan, he could only hold the little lady's hand and walk straight towards the main courtyard.

It wasn't until standing outside the main courtyard that Xu Shiqiu realized that he hadn't taken the initiative to come to the main courtyard for at least two years.

At this time, in the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu had already heard from the servants about Xu Shiqiu and his wife standing outside the courtyard.

As a mother, she naturally will not dislike her son, even if this son is said by everyone to be a 'broom star'.

Old Mrs. Xu was just about to order the servants to invite Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu in, but Xu Shiqiu had already taken Dong Shu's hand and took the initiative to enter the main courtyard.

When the servants in the main courtyard saw Xu Shiqiu, although they didn't dodge, they didn't approach, and only saluted him from afar.

For this scene, Xu Shiqiu is used to it.

But when Dong Shu saw the scene of the Xu family's servants avoiding it, she felt very unhappy.

"Xianggong, they are too much!"

Dong Shugang finished saying this angrily, and the next moment Xu Shiqiu shook his head at her indifferently and said, "Don't blame them." I've met them before, and they're either wrestling or bumping into each other, so it's right to avoid them. ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu took Dong Shu's hand tightly and took her directly into the front hall of the main courtyard.

Seeing his mother sitting upright, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly asked for peace from afar: "My son asks my mother for peace." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't wait for Mrs. Xu to ask, and directly pointed to Dong Shu beside him and introduced: "Mother, this is your third daughter-in-law, Dong." ”

After Dong Shu opened her mouth in Xu Shiqiu, she looked at the mother-in-law sitting in front of her.

Today, Mrs. Xu wore a purple right side placket with large sleeves on the upper body, and a light autumn fragrant skirt on the lower body, and a few jade hair ornaments were inserted on the head mixed with silver wires.

But in such a simple dress in the Xu family, in Dong Shu's eyes, she is the richest old lady she has ever seen.

The clothes she wears on weekdays are the common outfits of unmarried women in the village, but when she sees her mother-in-law sitting on the top, Dong Shu suddenly understood why Xianggong insisted on making such a style when she customized her dress a few days ago.

This kind of dress looks really good on the body!

Thinking of this, Dong Shu had the courage to look at the mother-in-law above.

At this time, the mother-in-law sitting at the top was looking at her with a smile on her face, but the smile in her eyes was more towards the Xianggong beside her.

After realizing that her mother-in-law was not at all different from the women in the village, Dong Shu took two steps forward with courage.

But maybe Dong Shu was too nervous, and just took two steps, she actually knelt down directly for Mrs. Xu with a 'plop'.

As soon as she saw Dong Shu kneeling, Mrs. Xu's face immediately flashed with surprise.

Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu kneel down so directly, and just wanted to step forward to help her up, but at this time, Xu Yanzhu, who was standing behind Mrs. Xu, had already walked quickly to Dong Shu's side, holding her arm and bringing her up.

"Grandmother, the third aunt is afraid that she is hungry, and she will not be able to stand steadily." Xu Yanzhu said this to Mrs. Xu, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu, who was standing beside Dong Shu, and said slightly: "Third uncle, my niece is supporting the third aunt, and I can't give you a farewell." ”

The moment she knelt down, Dong Shu sensed that her mother-in-law was afraid that she was going to dislike herself.

But at that moment just now, she really couldn't control her legs, she really didn't expect this.

When a young woman dressed in a blue and blue long bibi and a plain horse-faced skirt embroidered with incense burner and lingzhi helped herself up, she said with a shameful face: "I don't know etiquette, don't be angry, mother." ”

The reason why Mrs. Xu chose Dong Shu before was because her father and mother died early, and she was very pleasing.

Originally, she thought that as long as the new daughter-in-law could hold on and not be deterred by the third son's frequent bad luck, she would be satisfied.

After only observing it for half a month, she saw that the Dong family had nothing to do, so she thought that it would be good if the Dong family could learn more of the etiquette of everyone's ladies.

After all, the Xu family is not an ordinary family, and the previous two daughters-in-law are from extraordinary backgrounds.

Although the third son's luck is not good, it seems that he has bad luck, but his wife must always be worthy of him.

People are always greedy, and when Mrs. Xu saw Dong Shu kneeling down directly for herself, she felt that this Dong family was a little unable to support the stage and was not worthy of her third son.

But it wasn't until the eldest granddaughter opened her mouth that she reacted, Dong's background was not good, no one had taught her, how could she understand these rules.

Thinking about this, and thinking that the Dong family had been married for half a month without any accidents, and seeing that her son also liked it, Mrs. Xu looked at her with a smile and said, "Mother is not angry." It's okay if you don't understand it now, start today, follow Yanzhu and learn seriously. After Mrs. Xu said this to Dong Shu, she was happy when she saw her, and after she seemed to really want to study seriously, her expression was naturally a little more satisfied.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand now, she has time, as long as she is not stupid, she will be able to adjust. He who taught is worthy of his third son.

After saying this to Dong Shu, Mrs. Xu turned her eyes directly to Xu Shiqiu, and said with tears in her eyes: "Shiqiu, you have been seeing your mother for almost two years." ”

Xu Shiqiu has been paying attention to the little lady, and just now he also saw the change in his mother's expression.

Xu Shiqiu, who was at this meeting, was very glad that he thought of these things last night and greeted his lady in advance.

And looking at the change in her mother's expression now, Xu Shiqiu also understood what her worries were.

The identities of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are indeed much different from their own little lady, but their little lady was chosen by their mother, and he is in this situation.

If the little lady can learn these rules and etiquette in a similar way, when they meet, even the second sister-in-law who loves to compare, can't say that the little lady is not good.

Thinking of these, Xu Shiqiu also decided to slowly teach the little lady some ways to deal with the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law.

After all, his sister-in-law, who has always felt superior, and his second sister-in-law, who loves to compare, are not easy to get along.

After deciding these things in his heart, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly smiled at Mrs. Xu and said, "Before and in the future, I will see my mother, is it my son's." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu walked to Dong Shu's side and continued to say happily: "I came to greet my mother today, and I also have a happy event to inform my mother." ”
