Dong Shu didn't hear the deep meaning of Xu Nuanwen's words, but she looked at the expressions of the other people around her, and she still noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere between them.

Opening her mouth, Dong Shu finally took the initiative to look at Xu Nuanwen and said, "What did my sister mean by what she said just now?" ”

With Dong Shu opening his mouth, the atmosphere between several people returned to normal.

Xu Nuanwen looked up at Xu Shiqiu, and after seeing that her younger brother had no intention of stopping her, she looked at Dong Shu and said, "Brother and sister, the Xu family has now been on the same boat with the Five Princes' Mansion, do you understand this?" ”

"I understand." As soon as Xu Nuanwen's words fell, Dong Shu nodded at her, "The minister told me about this." ”

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Nuanwen looked at her and continued: "The queen now has no children under her knees, and there are no men of the Hu family who can handle it, so they can only think of working hard from the inner house. ”

After saying this, Xu Nuanwen seemed to sneer, and then continued: "The queen's marriage of her niece and granddaughter to Brother Qing is the first step, and it is the second step to have a good relationship with Uncle Duan Wang and the Five Princes' Mansion through the relationship between her in-laws."

No matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, Uncle Duan Wang is the younger brother of his father, so it is safe to marry Uncle Duan's grandson or grandson. It's just that there are many people staring at the descendants of Uncle Duanwang's family, and the Hu family doesn't want to be too prominent for his father to notice, so he took a step back and chose Brother Qing.

As the grandson of Duanwang's uncle, Brother Qing is not only the grandson of the Xu family, but also the uncle of the fifth prince. The Hu family saw that Brother Qing was good to the Hu family, and the Hu family has now found out that she is pregnant with a male fetus, so the Hu family will take the initiative to contact the Five Princes' Mansion this time, revealing that they will help your brother-in-law. ”

Dong Shu didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in these things, she listened to Xu Nuanwen finish speaking, and after blinking her crescent moon eyes, she looked at Xu Nuanwen and said, "Then what does the Hu family want to do?" ”

"Of course, they want to keep the glory and wealth of the Hu family through the relationship between their in-laws, and now that the Hu family has married into the Xu family, once your brother-in-law succeeds in the future, if the next generation of the Hu family still has no man who can pick up the burden of the Hu family, then the Hu family daughter will definitely use the relationship of in-laws to send the Hu family's women to your nephews."

When Xu Nuanwen talked about this, she looked quite unhappy. After all, the Hu family wanted to send their daughter to the Five Princes' Mansion before.

It's just that the fool in her family only has her, otherwise the Hu family is afraid that he would have sent his concubine into the Five Princes' Mansion.

Xu Nuanwen didn't plan to tell her mother and younger brother about this matter, but when Mrs. Xu and Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Nuanwen's expression, they guessed that the Hu family was afraid that something else had been done.

After all, the Hu family likes to give birth to daughters, and prefers to marry their daughters who they think are useful.

It's just because the Hu family has the current queen, and the Hu family's daughters are very good-looking, so the Hu family's daughters are quite popular with these people.

Mrs. Xu, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu all understood, but Dong Shu didn't know this.

She was now thinking about what Xu Nuanwen said just now, and after thinking that the Hu family, who had not yet met, might do such a thing, her expression was a little unpleasant.

When Xu Nuanwen saw her showing such a look, she hurriedly said: "Brother and sister, you don't need to feel strange, in a big family, there are many such things. There are many families with superficial scenery, but in fact, the family relies on the relationship between their daughters in the inner house to maintain their current status. ”

After saying this, Xu Nuanwen glanced at Xu Shiqiu beside Dong Shu, and then looked at Dong Shu and continued: "Brother and sister, let me tell you, wait for you to take care of the house in the future, if the men of the Xu family are not promising, then they will be able to keep their ancestral business and become a rich man, but you must not expect your daughter to benefit her mother's family after she marries." ”

Xu Nuanwen watched Dong Shu just finish saying this, Dong Shu looked at the mother-in-law sitting on the top a little nervously, and after perceiving Dong Shu's gaze, Xu Nuanwen waved her hand and said, "Brother and sister, don't worry, these words were also said to me by my mother at the beginning." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen paused for a moment, and said with a sad expression: "Actually, at the beginning, my father said this to me. ”

Thinking of her deceased father, Xu Nuanwen's expression was a little sad, as the only daughter of the Xu family's generation, Xu Nuanwen had been favored by the head of the family, General Xu, since she was born.

It is precisely because General Xu spoils Xu Nuanwen that he spoils her like she is now, and she can say whatever she wants.

When he was not married, he was protected by his father, and after he got married, he was protected by the husband of the fifth prince.

Even if the Xu family was defeated, the five princes still spoiled her and protected her.

Now that the youngest son in the family is frail, the eldest son and the second son also protect her and spoil her, Xu Nuanwen feels that she is so lucky, how can others have such a happy life.

However, although someone has always pampered and protected Xu Nuanwen, it should be understood, Xu Nuanwen has always understood.

"My daughter's family is already bitter, if I am like you, it's okay to love each other. If the father-in-law does not love the daughter's family, the mother-in-law is annoying and annoying, not only has to deal with the affairs of the mother-in-law's family, but also has to seek benefits for the mother's family, which is really too bitter. ”

Xu Nuanwen watched Dong Shu's words fall, and Dong Shu instantly understood what she meant.

"Sister, don't worry, I understand what you said." After saying this, Dong Shu looked at Xu Nuanwen and continued: "Since we already know what the Hu family wants to do, then let's just let it go on like this?" ”

"Or else?" Xu Nuanwen could see Dong Shu's nervousness, and after looking at her and smiling comfortingly, she continued: "Since you have stepped into this big dye vat, you have to make some concessions in a timely manner. There are interests, you know that others are calculating you, but you also have to let others calculate with a smile. ”

What Xu Nuanwen said to Dong Shu today is a truth that Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu have long understood.

But Dong Shu had never been in contact with these before, and these things were too shocking for her.

"When you don't really stand at the top and don't have absolute rights, these things are inevitable." Xu Nuanwen looked at Dong Shu after saying this, and saw that she looked sad, so she smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry, Shiqiu will take care of this family." ”

Dong Shu heard Xu Nuanwen mention Xu Shiqiu, and looked at him shyly and smiled.

It's just that Dong Shu didn't expect that when she looked at Xianggong, Xianggong would also look at her at the same time.

Xianggong's eyes were full of pampering and joy when he looked at him, and her cheeks couldn't help but burn when he saw it.

Sensing the eyes of everyone looking at him, Dong Shu suddenly felt ashamed and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Yuan Xi was sleepy, Dong Shu hurriedly came back to her senses, hugged Yuan Xi from Xu Nuanwen's arms to her arms, and then called the nurse to carry Yuan Xi down to sleep.

After Yuan Xi was carried to sleep, Xu Nuanwen told Xu Shiqiu that she would go to see Master Xuanling as soon as possible.

"Shi Qiu, don't worry, as long as I let people reveal the news that you have returned to Beijing, Master Xuanling will definitely take the initiative to see you."

Xu Nuanwen said firmly, and Xu Shiqiu, who heard her words, also felt that what she said made sense.

Mrs. Xu saw that their sister and brother had talked about it, so she told her that she had received a lot of posts and was going to invite a few acquaintances as guests.

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished saying this, Xu Nuanwen frowned and said, "Mother, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law haven't come to see you so far?" ”

Although the two elder brothers have separated from the younger brother, their mother is still there.

Now my mother has been back in Beijing for a few days, but is it possible that they have not received the news yet?

Mrs. Xu didn't expect Xu Nuanwen to suddenly mention this, she nodded at Xu Nuanwen, and then said indifferently: "They don't come to see me, but I think it's good." "Mrs. Xu has experienced a lot, and she will not want to tie her children and grandchildren to her like those ordinary old ladies.

She felt that her daughter, eldest granddaughter and youngest son, as well as her little daughter-in-law and little granddaughter, were pleasing to the eye, and she was naturally willing to see them.

As for the others, out of sight and out of mind, she has lived to this day, but she doesn't want to be angry anymore.

Although Mrs. Xu didn't say these words, Xu Nuanwen could still see it from her expression.

Seeing that her mother didn't want to mention them more, Xu Nuanwen didn't mention them again.

After Xu Nuanwen talked and laughed about the people who had been good friends with the Xu family before, and now they have secretly had a good relationship with other people's families, Mrs. Xu had roughly figured out the relationship network in the capital now.

Dong Shu listened in the clouds, she didn't have the relationship network of various families, and she didn't know what the connection was with the in-laws of the current official eunuchs above the court.

So when Mrs. Xu and Xu Nuanwen were talking energetically, she took the initiative to look at Xu Yanzhu on the side and said, "Will Jiang Han come today?" ”

"What is he here for?" As soon as she heard the third aunt mention Jiang Han, a trace of unhappiness flashed between Xu Yanzhu's eyebrows.

Seeing that the third aunt had been looking at herself, Xu Yanzhu looked up at the third uncle, and then took the third aunt's arm, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Third aunt, I think there is something wrong with Jiang Han." ”

Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu and just finished saying this, Dong Shu didn't have time to speak, Xu Yanzhu thought that Xu Shiqiu, who didn't hear what he said, took the first step and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier if you think Jiang Han was wrong?" ”

As soon as he heard Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Yanzhu immediately looked at him with shame and said, "Why did the third uncle eavesdrop on me talking to the third aunt?" ”

"I didn't eavesdrop, you just spoke to your third aunt in front of me, my ears are sensitive, so I naturally heard it." Xu Shiqiu didn't eavesdrop on the whispers between his niece and his mother at all.

Seeing Dong Shu glaring at him, he looked at Xu Yanzhu with some restraint and said, "Now the point is not that I eavesdropped, but that what you just said about Jiang Han is wrong." ”

In fact, Xu Yanzhu didn't plan to tell her family about these things, but she had been similar to Dong Shu before, and now when the third aunt asked, she naturally said it.

She regretted it now, and felt that she shouldn't have said it just now.

Dong Shu saw Xu Yanzhu pursing her lips tightly as if she was not going to speak, so she looked at her and said, "Yanzhu, if you have anything, just say it directly, and we will help you figure it out together." After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and continued: "Don't worry, even if something happens, we will protect you." ”

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Yanzhu hesitated for a moment, and before she could speak, Mrs. Xu, who had been staring at her, suddenly spoke: "Yanzhu, you haven't had a round room with Jiang Han yet?" ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu's words came out, Xu Yanzhu, who was originally sitting in the chair, was immediately startled.

She looked at Mrs. Xu in a panic and wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say a word in the end.

Seeing her show such a look, Dong Shu immediately glanced at Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Nuanwen really didn't notice these things, although she didn't have as many people as her mother watched, but this would be mentioned by her mother, she stared at Xu Yanzhu carefully, but she didn't expect to really see that she was still perfect.

"Yanzhu, what you just said thinks Jiang Han has a problem, but this is a convenient thing?"

Xu Yanzhu didn't expect her aunt to ask herself, she now feels ashamed and annoyed.

wanted the third uncle to leave, but she thought that the third uncle had been following the third aunt all the time, and she wanted the third aunt to accompany her, so she was embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to do.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu showing such a look, Xu Shiqiu took the initiative to say: "Yanzhu, don't think about it too much, just be the third uncle and not be here." ”

Although Xu Yanzhu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she was not blind, such a tall person as the third uncle was sitting here, how could she pretend that he was not here.

Looking at Xu Yanzhu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Dong Shu said: "Yanzhu, if you are embarrassed to speak, why don't you write it down, and then let us take a look?" After saying this, Dong Shu saw Xu Yanzhu's expression relaxed, and finally continued: "I won't show you the third uncle." ”
