Xu Shiqiu was not surprised when he learned of their plans.

He was suddenly arranged here by Rui Kangdi, although his father used to be the general of Yipin Town, but his father has also been dead for many years after all.

Now that he has suddenly come here, he is a not low official position, and these people naturally don't like him.

Although the people who held the same official position as him at the beginning were about the same age as him, they all joined the army in their teens and stayed in the barracks for more than ten years before climbing to the current position.

More colleagues are older than him, because they don't have so many connections, and they may be old enough to be a military attache of the fourth or fifth rank, or even six or seven ranks.

But Xu Shiqiu is different.

He is actually not young, but in this barracks, he is actually still young, not to mention that in just a few months, he has been promoted by two levels.

It's so normal to be hated.

"General, do you want to teach them a lesson?" Zhang Ping looked at Xu Shiqiu, although this news was found out by Ye Shuo for him, but Ye Shuo's surname is Ye after all, and there are some things that he really can't interfere with.

When Xu Shiqiu heard Zhang Ping's words, he was not in a hurry, but chuckled and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, tomorrow's banquet at home will be concerned about the affairs of the family first, as for them, I have other arrangements." ”

Since Xu Shiqiu said that this matter is not in a hurry, Zhang Ping naturally can't say anything more.

If Xu Shiqiu does not come tomorrow, the soldiers in the barracks will naturally have a day off.

The soldiers who are close to home will go home tonight, as long as they come back before the camp gates close tomorrow night.

As for those who are far away, they will not go home, but they have also made an appointment with colleagues who will also not go home to go to the capital early tomorrow morning.

Xu Shiqiu is strict, that is, before leaving, he did not forget to explain to them, it is okay to go out to play, but he must not cause trouble, let alone rely on his current identity to bully the people.

The soldiers under Xu Shiqiu were naturally obedient, and the most important thing was that Xu Shiqiu was cheerful, and he bought a lot of pigs and sheep with his own money early this morning.

The soldiers who went home brought home the pork and mutton they had been allocated, and as for the concubines of the eunuchs in the capital who did not bother to take them home, and the soldiers who did not return home from the distance, they naturally left the meat in the barracks and had a good meal tomorrow to replenish the oil and water.

Because Xu Shiqiu was refreshing, he was generous to the soldiers under him, and from time to time he bought meat out of his own pocket and came back to give them oil and water, so the training was harder on weekdays, and they had no complaints.

Of course, Ye Shuo was also worried about this matter at the beginning, worried that someone would use this matter to say that Xu Shiqiu would buy people's hearts, but after learning that his third uncle had already told the emperor's grandfather about it, he had to admire his third uncle's foresight.

The Xu family is having a banquet here, and Ye Shuo naturally wants to go back with Xu Shiqiu.

He has been in the barracks for a few months now, and he has an official position, which is naturally different from before.

What makes Ye Shuo happiest is that his father has already mentioned his marriage to Liu Fang'er with Liu Shangshu, but now that the eldest son has not yet decided to marry, it is not good for him to pass his eldest brother to preemptively marry.

Although Liu Shangshu didn't care about the affairs of his son's inner house on weekdays, he still interfered in the affairs of his son's inner house after the fifth prince hinted at himself, and even the saint hinted at himself.

Not to mention, Xu Nuanwen had already found an opportunity to ask two grandmothers from Concubine De in the palace to go to Liufu to teach Liu Fang'er.

With these two grandmothers from Concubine De's palace, even if Liu Ze is not at home now, Liu Fang'er's life in Liufu will be much better.

Because of his marriage, and now that he has an official position, Ye Shuo admires his third uncle even more.

So this time when he learned that Zhang Ping wanted to investigate the matter, he would take the initiative to come up to help, and this time the Xu family had a banquet, and he would follow him to the Xu family the night before as Xu Shiqiu's personal soldier.

When Dong Shu saw Ye Shuo, she was naturally very happy.

"Shuo'er is growing up so fast now, if I hadn't seen it today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized it in a few days." Dong Shu said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but the movements in her hands did not stop at all, and when Ye Shuo saluted her, she grabbed Ye Shuo's arm and said, "My aunt specially cooked a big pot of stewed meat herself, didn't you say that you like to eat your aunt's meat the most?" Eat more today. ”

"Then I have oral today, or the third aunt hurts me." Ye Shuo's mouth is sweet, although he has lost a lot of weight in the military camp now, but the advantages of his sweet mouth have not changed.

Dong Shu was naturally happy when she saw Ye Shuo speak, "It's enough for you to eat, it just so happens that your cousin is still awake, hurry up and go to your grandmother's place, and you can play with her for a while." After saying this, Dong Shu took Ye Shuo's arm and walked towards the main courtyard.

As for Xu Shiqiu, he naturally stood aside with a smile, watching his little lady hurt her nephew.

Of course, the little lady ignores his affairs, and when the banquet ends tomorrow, he will also have to settle with the little lady.

The Xu family has such a pistachio as Ye Shuo tonight, although it has not yet reached the day of the banquet, but the atmosphere is really much better.

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, the servants of the Xu family got up and got busy.

Today is the day of the Xu family's banquet, and it is also the day of the Xu family's first banquet after Xu Shiqiu became an official.

Although they are all relatives, there should still be pomp and circumstance, not to mention that in addition to Xu Shiqiu's official body, Dong Shu also has an identity.

Although this identity is just a 'country king' who is not conspicuous in the royal family.

Dong Shu also got up early in the morning and was busy today, although Xu Yanzhu helped, but she was not lightly tired.

She needs to ask about the dishes of the guests at home, and the guests come to the door, and the female relatives come to receive them in person.

Yuan Xi is still young, and when a female guest of her generation comes to the door, it is naturally received by Xu Yanzhu, and if it is a male guest, it is received by Ye Shuo.

"Old lady, your daughter-in-law is really filial." Mrs. Zhang sat with Mrs. Xu, and seeing that Dong Shu was not impatient at all, after saying this enviously, she said, "Or will you adjust. Teach people, now that the son is good, the daughter-in-law is filial, and it will be perfect to have a little grandson in two years. ”

If it weren't for being close to others, Mrs. Zhang would not have said this.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu are indeed enviable now, although Xu Shiqiu has no son so far, but since Dong Shu can give birth to a daughter, then she can give birth.

Besides, women who have given birth to children know that it is not good for women to have children in a row, and when they turn one year old after the first lunar month next year, they can also recuperate and have another one.

After Mrs. Xu heard Mrs. Zhang's words, she immediately smiled and said, "What do you envy me, your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are also good." After saying this, Mrs. Xu paused and continued: "As for whether the couple will have children in the future, I don't care about this, the daughter of our Xu family is more expensive than a man." ”

Mrs. Xu's words are naturally to save face for her granddaughters, especially Xu Yanmo in the long house, and now that Xu Yanhao's family affairs have been decided, the Ye family is looking for relatives for Xu Yanbo and her.

It is estimated that the Ye family is also afraid that Emperor Ruikang is not in good health, and he will have to keep filial piety for three years in the future.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of King Duan, and if Emperor Ruikang dies, they will definitely have to stay for twenty-seven months.

It's just that it's hard to say clearly, but the Ye family didn't hide it, and everyone who is familiar with it knows it.

Since it was said that the family affair, Mrs. Zhang mentioned the family affair between her family and the Xu family's room, and listened to her, I am afraid that the marriage will be set at the end of the year.

"Since the two children are suitable, it is also appropriate to do family affairs earlier."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished saying this, Mrs. Zhang said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I shouldn't have said these words, but Yan Hao, this kid really likes to practice martial arts." If he wants to participate in the Wenju, our Zhang family can still help, but the Wuju ......"

Mrs. Zhang actually mentioned this once before, although Mrs. Xu had written it down before, but she didn't mention it before Xu Shiqiu was busy.

Now that Mrs. Zhang mentioned it again, knowing that she was also distressed about her juniors, Mrs. Xu said: "Yan Hao is Shi Qiu's nephew, if he really has the heart, he will go to find Shi Qiu in person, is it possible that Shi Qiu can use other people, and he doesn't dare to use his own nephew?" ”

With Mrs. Xu's words, the Zhang family was relieved.

They were really afraid that Xu Shiqiu would stop Xu Yanhao and not give him advancement, but now it seems that it is their villain's heart.

After all, the people who followed Xu Shiqiu before were all awarded official positions, although their grades were not high, but they were not very old.

Looking at Ye Shuo's now, the Zhang family also felt that if Xu Yanhao followed Xu Shiqiu, he would not suffer, after all, Xu Yanhao was the Xu family, and he had the blood of the Ye family.

After deciding this matter, the smile on the face of the Zhang family was a little more sincere than before, and Mrs. Xu didn't care about it.

They are all her juniors, and she naturally won't look at her grandson without a way out.

As for asking the youngest son to help, he can help if he can, not to mention Yan Hao, the child, is actually quite good.

When the Xu family came to the Five Princes' Mansion, Mrs. Xu also talked to them affectionately, they were all in-laws, and the grandson's future Yue family, Mrs. Xu naturally would not favor one over the other.

The Zhang family's upbringing is also good, and they don't look down on their girls because of the Xu family's background.

Although the girl of the Zhang family and the girl of the Xu family are concubines in the next room, the two girls have been familiar with poetry and books since childhood, and they can also talk about going together.

Originally, this banquet was also lively, and it was originally a gathering of the Xu family's in-laws, and it was the time to be lively, but who knew that the Hu family was launched today.

It stands to reason that the day of Hu's pregnancy has passed the days calculated by the imperial doctor for several days, and he should not have come today, but it was the family banquet of Xu Shiqiu's promotion, and the Hu family also wanted to give the third aunt a good impression, and wanted her to say a few words for the Hu family in front of Queen Hu, so he still came today.

It's just that everyone didn't expect her to give birth suddenly, fortunately, the Xu family's house is not far from the mansion of the big house, instead of going to the midwife, it is better to send it home directly by carriage, so that this banquet is naturally a bit anticlimactic.

"This child must be blessed to be born today."

As soon as Xu Chang's wife Mei Shi spoke, the atmosphere between everyone was much better, after all, in today's world, women give birth, but they are disliked by many people.

"I think this child is also a chronic child, and it took so many years to be willing to be born. Mother, in the end, it is our granddaughter-in-law who gave birth to a child, and you have to be a great-grandmother. ”

As soon as Dong Shu spoke, Mrs. Xu's face also had a little smile.

It's just that this banquet didn't go as planned until the afternoon, and after lunch, the in-laws left one after another.

They also have to go home to prepare congratulatory gifts, and if the Hu family successfully gives birth to the eldest grandson of the Xu family, they will have to prepare congratulatory gifts.

Dong Shu was also busy, so she naturally explained a lot of things to Xu Yanzhu to help.

Although Xu Yanzhu is tired, she is also busy and happy, if the sister-in-law in the lobby gives birth smoothly today, she will definitely be able to stay at home for two more days.

It's just that Xu Yanzhu didn't know at this time that because of her stay today, something would happen that would change her life.
