Chapter XXXVIII

As soon as Cuihua's words fell, Xu Shiqiu immediately subconsciously looked at Dong Shu.

After seeing that the little lady's cheeks were slightly red because of Cuihua's sudden appearance, she immediately slowly let go of the arm that was holding her, and then looked up at Cuihua and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

When the words fell, Xu Shiqiu lowered his head and stared at Dong Shu's eyes and said: "I don't know what my mother called us, I will be like a big brother and they will be there later, and I will come forward in everything." ”

Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu say such a thing, and he couldn't react for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded at him.

Dong Shu didn't think much about it, after all, she also understood that Xianggong would not harm herself, and he would say this, it must be for her good.

Although Xu Shiqiu didn't know the little lady's thoughts, it could be seen that after Dong Shu nodded, she still showed a smile.

Seeing that the little lady didn't mean to speak, Xu Shiqiu took her back to the main courtyard where Mrs. Xu lived.

When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu's big room and second room were not there, only Mrs. Xu sat alone on the main seat at the head of the hall.

Seeing such a picture, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu couldn't help but speed up their pace and walked in quickly.

Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Xu slowly raised her head, looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, and just wanted to give them a smile, but because she had been straining her face for too long just now, her face was stiff and she couldn't laugh.

The change on Mrs. Xu's face, Xu Shiqiu naturally noticed.

He looked at the mother who was sitting on the top, and when he saw her expression, his heart immediately tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Mother, what is the matter with you calling us?" ”

Xu Shiqiu looked at Mrs. Xu as soon as she finished saying this, and Mrs. Xu sighed softly: "Shiqiu, I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic again this day." ”

Xu Shiqiu originally thought that his mother would be like this because he was angry with the eldest brother or second brother, but as soon as his mother's words came out, he knew that this was not the case.

Xu Shiqiu didn't want Dong Shu to hear these troubles, but if she didn't stay by his side, he was afraid that something would happen to his mother.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned to look at Dong Shu and said, "Lady, you are also tired today, hurry up and sit down to rest." As he spoke, Xu Shiqiu led Dong Shu to sit down on a chair on the side, and then called the servant woman to bring her two plates of snacks and a cup of tea.

After watching the little lady happily sit down and eat snacks, Xu Shiqiu took two steps closer to his mother to ensure that at this distance, his mother would definitely have no trouble, so he sat down and looked at his mother and said, "What news did my mother listen to from the eldest brother?" ”

When Xu Shiqiu moved, Mrs. Xu looked at him quietly, until Xu Shiqiu sat down, Mrs. Xu suddenly looked at him and asked, "With the Dong family by your side, you are really no different from ordinary people?" ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his mother to suddenly ask about this, because he was unprepared, so he was a little stunned for a while.

After a few breaths, Xu Shiqiu reacted, looked at his mother with a smile and nodded, "Indeed." Since her son married Dong, except for another time when she was not by her side, she killed two servants and dropped the food box, the rest of the time, there was no accident. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shiqiu's whole person was in a state of excitement and excitement.

'Knowing the son Mo Ruomu', as soon as she saw Xu Shiqiu's reaction, Mrs. Xu knew that he didn't lie to herself.

After Mrs. Xu glanced at Dong Shu with satisfaction, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued: "Since the Dong family is blessed, then you will take care of her more in the future." With her with you, my mother can rest assured. ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his mother to say this suddenly, and the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth suddenly tensed up so bluntly before he had time to put it away.

"Mother, what happened, even if it is going to change today, is it still related to us? Did the eldest brother and sister-in-law say something to their mother just now? ”

Xu Shiqiu had already thought very clearly in his mind just now, his mother had just seen his eldest brother and sister-in-law, so his mother would learn about these news, it must have been what they said.

Since Mrs. Xu called Xu Shiqiu here, she didn't plan to hide it from him.

Just now, she just saw Dong Shu sigh with emotion, and when she saw Xu Shiqiu's nervous expression, she immediately nodded at Xu Shiqiu, and then continued: "Your eldest brother said that the saint feels that he is old and wants to establish another prince. Several princes are ready to move, and before he returns to Beijing, your sister sent someone to ask him to bring a message back. Ask our family, but you are still ready to go back to Beijing. ”

Xu Shiqiu already understood why his mother said that this day was going to be chaotic again when Mrs. Xu said the first sentence.

The struggle for the throne has been bloody since ancient times.

What's more, this time the saint wants to set up another prince, and in the case that there is no second son in the middle palace, this time the prince will be set up, and the sons of other concubines will have the same chance.

As long as he is made the crown prince this time, once the saint dies, he can rightfully inherit the throne, and he no longer has to try all kinds of ways to compete for the throne.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu suddenly thought of something, his father would die suddenly nine years ago, and he was afraid that he would be involved in the matter of seizing the heir.

It's just that he will only stay at home every day, and he doesn't know what happened that day, and he doesn't know why his father would choose to die without saying a word.

If Xu Shiqiu was allowed to choose, he would naturally be unwilling to choose to participate in this matter.

But the sister who loves him the most except for his mother is the concubine of the five princes.

And since my sister sent someone to ask the eldest brother to come back with a message, the fifth prince must also have this thought.

If the fifth prince is not good to his sister, or his sister did not give birth to the eldest son, he may not be worried.

But on the contrary, the five princes not only like their sister, but the three sons of the Five Princes' Mansion so far, in addition to the eldest son and the youngest son born to his sister, the only concubine is his sister's original concubine Teng, who was born to their aunt's cousin.

If the fifth prince can win that position, it is very likely that the one who will ascend the throne in the future will be his nephew Xu Shiqiu, and his Xu family can also become a first-class family.

However, thinking of the little lady sitting on a chair not far from him eating snacks, Xu Shiqiu hesitated.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Xu Shiqiu looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mother, I don't want to go back to Beijing, I like the life in Xiahe Village." When we open a few shops and buy some fields, it will be enough for our family to live.

If the brother-in-law has that mind, it is enough for the eldest brother to have a room in the capital. ”

Xu Shiqiu would say such a thing, also because he took into account Dong Shu's temperament, if he went to the capital, he was afraid that he would not be used to contact with those noble ladies in the capital.

Although Xu Shiqiu had barely gone out when he stayed in the capital before, he still knew something about the women in the capital.

The little lady of his family has such a delicate temperament, I am afraid that she can't stand the bitterness between those women.

How could Mrs. Xu not be able to guess her son's thoughts, as soon as he said this, she understood his thoughts.

To say before, Mrs. Xu still felt that Dong Shu, the daughter-in-law, was not too satisfied, but after this time when the big room and the second room came back, she finally saw it clearly.

Among the three daughters-in-law, Dong Shu, a daughter-in-law who looks stupid and doesn't know what rules, is the best.

A daughter-in-law with such a temperament is the most suitable for his third son, who has loved to think a lot since childhood.

Thinking of this, she glanced up at Dong Shu, and saw that she had no intention of listening to herself and her son at all, only concentrating on eating the snacks in front of her, and felt that she had a good temperament.

If this is replaced by the Ye family and the Jiang family, I am afraid that one person must be listening to the shelf, and the other can't wait to calculate in his heart.

Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu with a very direct look, and Xu Shiqiu naturally found out.

However, when he saw that his mother's eyes revealed satisfaction, he didn't say much.

After Mrs. Xu glanced at Dong Shu, she withdrew her eyes and looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "I understand your thoughts, but since your sister sent someone to send a message to your eldest brother and asked him to bring the message back, I am afraid that your brother-in-law does have that thought."

And your sister and brother-in-law know that you love to practice martial arts since childhood, and she received a letter from me before and learned that you married a blessed lady, I am afraid that she wants you to enter Beijing to lead the army. ”

Mrs. Xu talked to her son, and she didn't hide it, and directly said her guess.

When Xu Shiqiu heard that his mother actually wrote to his sister saying that the little lady was blessed, he was immediately stunned.

Soon, he understood what his mother and sister meant.

"Sister, this is what she wants me to take over the military power left by my father." After Xu Shiqiu watched his mother say this, seeing that his mother nodded in anticipation, he shook his head and continued: "But my mother forgot that the eldest brother Yanqing wanted to marry the Hu family's daughter?

The eldest brother and sister-in-law will marry the Hu family, I am afraid that it is to further deepen the connection with the saint and the queen.

Yan Hao also loves martial arts, and he is the grandson of King Duan.

At the beginning, after my father left, the military power was taken over by King Duan, and now if Yanhao and I say that we want to join the martial arts at the same time, I am afraid that in the end it will make this matter bigger, and let the eldest brother and them hate me. ”

It's not that Xu Shiqiu is arrogant, although he hasn't lived with his eldest brother's family for many years, but the art of war was taught by his father himself, and because of his special physique, Yan Hao has no way to fight with him at all, as long as he is close to him alone, he will definitely either fall on his heels or have other accidents.

can be said to be hao, after all, there is half of the Ye family's bloodline.

Xu Shiqiu's worries, Mrs. Xu also understood, it was precisely because she understood that she felt sorry for Xu Shiqiu.

"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law came to me just now, although they only relayed your sister's words, but I can also see that they are also afraid that you will return to Beijing." Old Lady Xu looked up at Dong Shu again when she said this, and then continued: "After all, now, after you get married, there is no accident. ”

Xu Shiqiu found that his mother looked at the little lady, and after his mother's words, he looked up at his mother and said with a smile: "But don't forget that if the Dong family is not by her son's side, her son will still cause trouble to the people around him."

If I really take over the military power left by my father, will it be possible that I will go out in the future and always take the Dong family with me? Go into battle to kill the enemy, and take her with you? When it's time to go into battle, I will step forward alone, and then rely on my physique to directly defeat the opponent's generals? ”

The more Xu Shiqiu spoke, the more he felt that this scene was really unimaginable.

At this time, Xu Shiqiu would never have imagined that in the future, he would really take Dong Shu to the battlefield because of some things.
