Xu Yanzhu didn't say this, but thought about it in her heart for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Cuihua looking at her with a pomegranate.

"Big girl, do you want to eat pomegranates?"

Hearing Cuihua's inquiry, Xu Yanzhu looked at her and shook her head, and then said, "I just left home, I don't want to eat yet, I'll eat when I'm homesick." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu thought of something again, and after laughing for a while, he continued: "Shihuanyuan does not produce many pomegranates this year, and the third aunt will give me half of it, which will make the third uncle feel distressed, and I will save it." ”

"Listen to the big girl, wait until you're homesick to eat." After saying this, Cuihua put away the pomegranates she had just taken out again, "These pomegranates are all picked by the servants and Mrs. herself, and Mrs. said that the meaning of this pomegranate is good, so you must take it with you." ”

"The third aunt is like this, because this pomegranate tree was planted by the third uncle, she has been smooth since she became pregnant this year, and she always feels that it is because of this tree." As she spoke, Xu Yanzhu thought of Dong Shu's expression when she handed over these pomegranates to herself, and she couldn't hold back and laughed directly.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu laughing, Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that the eldest girl would be sad and sad because she left home.

In the convoy that left Xiahe Village, Xu Yanzhu, who was sitting in the mule cart, was reluctant to eat the pomegranate given to her by Dong Shu, but in Shi Huan's courtyard, Xu Shiqiu seriously peeled a pomegranate for Dong Shu.

Looking at the crystal ruddy pomegranate seeds on the plate in front of him, Dong Shu pinched two and put them in her mouth to chew for a while, then spit out the two small white pomegranate seeds, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: "Xianggong, although there are not many pomegranates from this pomegranate tree in our courtyard, they are quite sweet." ”

As she spoke, Dong Shu pinched two more pomegranate seeds and put them in her mouth.

Seeing Dong Shu eating happily, Xu Shiqiu called Ling Xiang to bring water over and wash his hands before he spoke: "When I moved the pomegranate tree, I asked the old farmer who was good at planting trees, and the old farmer said that the number of fruits produced by fruit trees would be different every year, and there would always be a time when there were more fruits every three years. ”

Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu finish saying this, and saw her nodding at herself, so she smiled dotingly and shook her head: "If you like to eat, I'll let someone pick a few more next spring." It's just that there is no place to plant in Shihuanyuan, and there are always a few places where you can plant pomegranate trees at home. ”

"Not really." Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with bright eyes, and after saying this, he smiled before he spoke: "I like to eat this pomegranate because this tree was planted by Xianggong, and it is because I like Xianggong, so I love to eat it." ”

Although it was not the first time Xu Shiqiu had heard Dong Shu say such a thing, every time he listened to it, he felt extremely happy.

"Well, I like a lady for a husband." After watching Dong Shu say this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and then spoke: "Now that Yanzhu has left home, there are more things outside, do you need someone to talk to at home?" ”

"It's a little boring, but I've already told Yanzhu that after she left home, I went to see my mother every day, and after she wrote to me, I told her about my mother's situation." Dong Shu watched Xu Shiqiu finish saying this, and saw him looking at himself and smiling, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Xianggong, when Yanzhu sends me the letter, can you not read it?" ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect the little lady to say such a thing, he glanced at her, and saw that she looked serious, so he nodded and said: "I won't read the letter written by Yanzhu to the lady." But did you say yes to Yanzhu and write a letter to you, indicating that it was for you? ”

"Okay, Yanzhu also promised me that she would always write to me." Dong Shu's tone was very joyful, and when she saw Xianggong nodding, she spoke again: "Yanzhu also said that I must write to her as soon as I give birth, so that she can know." ”

"Okay, when you give birth, your husband must write to her as soon as possible."

Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said to him Xu Yanzhu, until she finished eating a pomegranate and fell asleep, then she sent her to rest.

"The eldest girl and Cuihua have just left home, you have recently remembered to pay more attention to Madame, if you find that Madame is in a bad mood, you must inform me in time."

Xu Shiqiu watched Ling Xiang finish explaining this, then he got up and left the backyard to go to the front yard to deal with things.

Dong Shu is now pregnant, and she loves to sleep every day, although she doesn't sleep too long, but she has to sleep for a while every morning and afternoon.

When she was not pregnant, she could go to learn to read and write with Mr. Shi in the morning, and in the afternoon, she could either talk to Xu Yanzhu or sew clothes in Shihuan Courtyard to pass the time.

But since Xu Yanzhu left, although Dong Shu can still go to learn to read and write with Mr. Shi every morning, the afternoon time is much more difficult.

Before, she could still make clothes for the child in her womb, but after making a few sets, not only did Xu Shiqiu not make them for her, but she also felt bored.

Although she would go to Mrs. Xu's courtyard every two days to talk to her, the rest of the time was still boring.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu was still free to talk to Dong Shu every two days, but when Xu Yanzhu left, it was just in time for the autumn harvest, Zhuangzi was busy, and the store was also busy for several days after the autumn harvest.

It wasn't until the beginning of October that Xu Shiqiu gradually had time to accompany Dong Shu.

In the past month or so, Dong Shu has received three letters from Xu Yanzhu, the most recent of which is Xu Yanzhu saying that he has done something after he arrived in the capital.

"Xianggong, fortunately, Cuihua followed Yanzhu to the capital, otherwise she wouldn't even have a helper."

Dong Shu thought of Xu Yanzhu and mentioned this matter to Xu Shiqiu again.

Xu Shiqiu rubbed Dong Shu's sore legs because of pregnancy, and after hearing Dong Shu's words, he first looked up at her before he spoke: "Yanzhu has been living with her mother for so many years before, and she will live with her second brother and sister-in-law, so she will definitely not be used to it." ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and continued: "Counting the days, Yanzhu will get married in a few days, and the next time her letter will be written after marrying into the Jiang family." ”

As soon as she heard Xu Shiqiu say this, Dong Shu was also instantly attracted, thinking that after Xu Yanzhu married into the Jiang family, it might be better to live with her father and mother, Dong Shu hurriedly looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: "Xianggong, I will reply to Yanzhu tomorrow, so that she should not be afraid." ”

"Okay, I will also write to the third brother Xu Jun and ask him to help him with more words." Xu Shiqiu wants to quickly divert the little lady's attention now, every time Yanzhu's letter is sent, three days after the letter is sent, his little lady's mouth must always be her.

Although Yanzhu is a junior, he is not comfortable in his heart.

Dong Shu didn't know this idea in Xu Shiqiu's heart, because she had been pregnant for six months, Dong Shu was no longer as comfortable as she was at the beginning, and every day she either had leg pain or an itchy belly because of being stretched.

This will be because Xu Shiqiu pinched her legs so comfortably, and after a while, she fell asleep like this.

Capital

In the backyard of the Xu family's two-bedroom house

Xu Yanzhu looked at the green flowers in front of him and asked uncertainly, "Did you really see Jiang Han today?" ”

"Well, the servant didn't know the son of the Jiang family originally, but he still spoke with the servant behind him, and the servant knew that he was the son of the Jiang family." After Cuihua looked at Xu Yanzhu and said this, she thought for a while and continued: "The son of the Jiang family seems to want to inquire about the girl from the servant, but the servant didn't speak, and he seemed to be in a hurry, so he left quickly. ”

"Listening to your description, it should be Jiang Han." Xu Yanzhu hadn't seen Jiang Han for many years, thinking of the Jiang Han he once knew, Xu Yanzhu shook his head before he spoke: "Grandmother told me that Jiang Han doesn't know anything as he seems on the outside, I'm afraid few people know this."

So if you see Jiang Han again in the future, don't say anything to him, he can't ask anything from you, and he will come to see me. ”

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Cuihua hesitated for a moment and then nodded, but she still said uneasily: "The girl is about to get married in half a month, is it appropriate to meet the son of the Jiang family at this time?" ”

"There is nothing suitable or inappropriate, Jiang Han and I were originally cousins, and we often met when we were young, but later the Xu family moved out of the capital, so we didn't have the opportunity to meet." Xu Yanzhu watched Cuihua finish saying this, and after seeing her nodding, she continued: "Since grandmother said that Jiang Han is not ordinary, then presumably he will definitely not simply come here today, he must want to do something." ”

Xu Yanzhu was talking to Cuihua about Jiang Han, and in the Jiang family's house, the mother of the Jiang family also looked at Jiang Han and asked him why he went to see Xu Yanzhu before getting married.

"Mother, I didn't see Yanzhu, I just went to see my aunt and uncle." Jiang Han watched the Jiang family's housewife finish saying this, thought for a while and continued: "But although I didn't see Yanzhu, I saw the servants serving beside her, since Yanzhu has servants to serve, mother, you don't have to choose someone to serve Yanzhu." ”

As soon as Jiang Han finished saying this, the hand hidden in the sleeve of the Jiang family's housemother couldn't help but clench.

The better Jiang Han treats Xu Yanzhu, the more unhappy the Jiang family's housewife is.

Why!

"Even if she has someone to serve her, how many can she have, the Xu family is not as good as before now, and our Jiang family is different from before." After the Jiang family's housewife looked at Jiang Han and said this, she thought for a while and continued: "Even if she doesn't need people around her, you should add people to your yard."

You are also not a small child, and you still have no heirs, if Xu Yanzhu has not been able to conceive since she got married, what should I do? Mother arranges two more people for you, if she can't conceive at that time, and someone else is pregnant and gives birth to an heir, she will hold her and raise it. ”

The mother of the Jiang family didn't give Jiang Han a chance to refuse at all, and after saying this, she directly arranged for two young and beautiful maids to enter Jiang Han's courtyard.

Looking at the arrangement of the Jiang family's housewife, Jiang Han didn't speak again in the end, but within two days, he still went to the Xu family again.

The weather was good on this day, Xu Yanzhu took Cuihua for a walk in the backyard, who knew that Jiang Han appeared directly in front of her.

"Why are you here again?" Although he hadn't seen him for many years, the moment he saw Jiang Han, Xu Yanzhu still recognized him instantly, "Something to do with me?" ”

"Actually, it's okay, God I want to ask if there is someone around you to serve, this time I came to tell you that my mother arranged two people to serve you." Jiang Han looked at Xu Yanzhu's eyes and opened his mouth, ignoring the other people around him, and continued directly: "I'm worried that you don't know, so I want to tell you." ”

Hearing Jiang Han's words, Xu Yanzhu didn't show it on his face, but he was puzzled in his heart.

Jiang Han's words seemed to be simply telling her these things, but they made her feel very strange.

Because Xu Yanzhu couldn't say anything strange for a while, he only looked at Jiang Han and said, "I know." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu was no longer in the mood to continue walking, and turned around and left directly with Cuihua.

Until Xu Yanzhu left far away, Jiang Han didn't say anything to Xu Yanzhu, just stared at her back.

"Girl, is it true that the son of the Jiang family came today just to tell you about this?"

Cuihua looked at Xu Yanzhu in confusion and just finished saying this, Xu Yanzhu shook her head and said, "I don't know what he wants to do, but I can feel that he will definitely not just come to tell me that his mother will arrange two people to serve me." ”

In addition to this, Xu Yanzhu also had a faint feeling that she always felt that the Jiang Han she saw today was different from what she saw before.

This difference is not only the difference in appearance, but also the way he looks at himself.

Although she has always known that Jiang Han likes herself, she can be sure that Jiang Han's eyes looking at her today must be different from before.
