Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lovely
Xu Shiqiu's sadness made the two women who looked at him worried, Mrs. Xu just wanted to open her mouth to comfort him, but Dong Shu had already gotten up first, walked to Xu Shiqiu's side, looked at him and said, "Xianggong, don't be sad, I will always be with you." ”
Dong Shu didn't know why Xu Shiqiu was sad, and she didn't know what happened to the Xu family back then.
But in her heart, her husband is the best, and she naturally wants to accompany him for the rest of her life.
Xu Shiqiu could feel the sincerity in his little lady's tone, looking at the ignorant but sincere look in the little lady's eyes, Xu Shiqiu suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and said with three points of joy, one point of apprehension and six points of expectation: "Well, the lady naturally wants to accompany me all the time." ”
Xu Shiqiu felt that his heart was very small, he didn't want much, as long as the little lady accompanied him to live well.
Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, but she could see that Xu Shiqiu's mood had improved.
Because Xu Shiqiu's mood improved, she also smiled and said happily: "Naturally, Xianggong is so good, how can I not accompany Xianggong." ”
Mrs. Xu sat on the top and looked at her third son, because the third daughter-in-law instantly changed her mood because of her third daughter-in-law's words, and couldn't help but glance at Dong Shu more.
She looked at her third son's eyes full of joy, and a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, and then looked at the two of them: "Dong's complexion is getting better and better now, and my mother is relieved." ”
After saying this, she glanced at Dong Shu, looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Mother, there are two sets of jewelry here with fresh and tender patterns, and you will take one set with you when you go back, and leave the other set for Yanzhu." ”
Although Mrs. Xu is partial to Xu Shiqiu, she will not leave a handle for herself in doing things.
Those two sets of jewelry were all New Year's gifts from Xu Shiqiu's sister during the Chinese New Year last year, in order to leave them for Mrs. Xu to give away, and the Xu family knew about them.
Two sets of jewelry, Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu are not available, but as long as the second room does not speak, a person as arrogant as the eldest daughter-in-law will not say anything.
Perhaps, she still doesn't like what Mrs. Xu has in her hand.
Xu Shiqiu also understood this, so after hearing Mrs. Xu speak, he nodded directly for Dong Shu, and then smiled at Mrs. Xu: "I came to my mother today, but I got a lot of good things." ”
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Mrs. Xu pretended to be annoyed and glared at him, and then she spoke: "Mother's things are not all left to you, you are the youngest son of your mother, so naturally you have to be biased, your eldest brother and second brother both understand." ”
Mrs. Xu Shiqiu could understand what she said.
His mother could give him more things, but she couldn't help but give him his eldest brother and second brother.
It's okay to hurt him, but it will never hurt the eldest brother and the second brother.
However, for today's results, Xu Shiqiu is already satisfied.
He also knew that it was not good to calculate the things in his mother's hands like this, but he had no capital, and he couldn't leave the little lady, so he could only choose this path.
Luckily, his mother understood everything and didn't say anything.
However, this will Xu Shiqiu also set a rule for himself in his heart, this is only once, and he will definitely compensate his mother in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu continued to tell his mother what Xu Yanzhu had just told him.
"Mother, there is something I want to ask you for."
Xu Shiqiu's attitude was good, and because of his own bad luck, Mrs. Xu was even more distressed, so after he finished Xu Yanzhu's proposal just now, Mrs. Xu only pondered a little, and then nodded and agreed to him.
"This is a good idea, Yanzhu's father and mother prefer her two sons, she has your third uncle to protect her, and I can rest assured in the future." After Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said this, she thought for a while and continued: "There are not many servants who can be used at home, and some of your father's brothers who worshiped the son at the beginning have retired because of their injuries, but their skills are still there, and there is no problem with loyalty."
I'll write a letter early tomorrow morning explaining this, and if they wish, I'll choose a few young people to come.
In the future, these people, even your subordinates, can also help Yanzhu. ”
Mrs. Xu knew Xu Shiqiu's temperament very well, and let him come into contact with those scholars who were crepe, I was afraid that he would not be used to it.
And because of his own bad luck, even if those people take a fancy to the Xu family, they will not be loyal to Xu Shiqiu in the future.
But the old subordinates of his father-in-law back then were different.
These people were born and died with their father-in-law, and they were all brothers in life and death for many years.
When the Xu family had an accident, these people also came to her, but she was sad at the time, so she rejected them.
However, they also left the address at the beginning, so that she could write to it later if she needed it.
Xu Shiqiu listened to Mrs. Xu talk about this, and nodded directly without thinking too much.
He has no available connections in his hands, although he is the third son of the Xu family, but because of bad luck, he has not gone out for so many years.
Now that he has a way to control bad luck, he must work hard for himself, his wife and his future children.
just thought that his bad luck could only be suppressed by the little lady, and in the future, he was afraid that he would have to take her with him everywhere.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and continued: "Mother, I will also write a letter when I go back tonight, and your people will send it to them tomorrow." After all, it's for me to hire someone, or it's more sincere for me to write a letter. ”
As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Mrs. Xu sighed distressedly.
"Okay, my mother promises you, and I will also tell your uncles, if their sons and nephews are unwilling, don't blame their sons and nephews."
Xu Shiqiu was also relieved when he heard his mother say this.
Dong Shu didn't understand anything, but she had been waiting obediently aside.
It wasn't until the two of them left the main courtyard with their things and returned to Shihuan Courtyard that Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth to tell Dong Shu about the relationship between his uncles and his father.
"They are all brothers who joined the army with their father, and I heard my father say that they worshipped a dozen brothers in total, but only six survived in the end.
Of these six people, my father's luck was the best, and his grandfather took a fancy to him and married his mother.
Therefore, the court of my Xu family was changed, otherwise my father would not have the status of the future.
And those uncles, because they don't know how to read, and they don't have a handsome father, they marry good relatives, so their status is not as high as their father.
Later, they all left the barracks one after another because of their injuries, but because their skills were still there, the children and nephews at home also trained well. ”
Xu Shiqiu said this in a very flat tone, without mentioning how powerful his father was at all.
Dong Shu didn't understand so much, but she could tell from these words that her father-in-law really respected these uncles.
In this case, when the sons and nephews of these uncles' families come, they must also be entertained as relatives.
Thinking of this, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Then they are coming, do they want to live in Shihuan Courtyard?" ”
Dong Shu asked sincerely, she thought that since she was a relative, she naturally wanted to live at home.
It's just that the Xu family is too big, and there are not many empty houses in Shihuanyuan, just two houses in the front yard, I'm afraid it's not enough to live.
Xu Shiqiu didn't think of these things, these things were arranged by his mother before, and now that he is married, it should indeed be arranged by the little lady.
"There is an empty courtyard in front of Shihuan Courtyard, and tomorrow I will ask Cuihua to call someone to clean it up. However, I don't know how many people will come, so there is no hurry. ”
Although Xu Shiqiu has confidence in the brotherhood between those uncles and fathers, the relationship between their sons and nephews and himself is not so familiar.
And because of his bad luck, these people are afraid that they will hesitate.
After all, they are the same age as him, and they must all marry their own children. Now that I have a wife and children, I think I will think about it more.
What's more, Xu Shiqiu plans to cultivate his own forces, so he is not ready to put these people in the Xu family.
After all, the three brothers have not yet separated.
But there is no need to bother the little lady about these things, he will arrange them.
In order to divert the attention of the little lady, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and said, "Lady, your cousin worked as a partner in the restaurant in the town before, I don't know if he would like to work in your shop." ”
As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words came out, Dong Shu was really attracted to attention.
She looked at Xu Shiqiu, and after being stunned for a moment, she said puzzledly: "Xianggong, how can it be my shop?" ”
Dong Shu's beautiful crescent eyes were full of puzzlement, and she didn't understand how Xiang Gong could say those shops as his own in a word.
Looking at his little lady in a daze, Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but laugh, and quickly said the reason he had thought of a long time ago, "Lady, your father-in-law likes to practice martial arts, and maybe he will be a military general in the future."
But there is an order from the imperial court that officials cannot do business, so these shops can only be placed in the name of the lady. ”
Xu Shiqiu didn't lie to Dong Shu when she said this, although Dong Shu didn't understand, she could ask Xu Yanzhu, so Xu Shiqiu didn't lie to her.
However, as for the matter of being a military general, Xu Shiqiu deliberately mentioned it.
Dong Shu's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she didn't expect her father-in-law to be an official.
Dong Shu doesn't understand the difference between civil officials and military officials, but she understands that people who can be officials are very powerful.
As soon as she thought of this, Dong Shu immediately looked at Xu Shiqiu with admiration and said, "Xianggong is really amazing!" In addition to these few simple words, Dong Shu really doesn't know how to praise her father-in-law.
Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu could also understand his little lady's lack of praise words, he glanced at her with great satisfaction, and then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and said, "So I don't know if the lady is willing to help her husband?" ”
Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu's voice fall, Dong Shu nodded busily, and then said quickly and shyly: "Xianggong, just now you told your mother that you want to do business with Yanzhu?" As she spoke, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with some embarrassment.
As soon as she saw her little lady like this, Xu Shiqiu understood that she was like this because she felt that she had eavesdropped on her conversation with her mother.
Looking at her, Xu Shiqiu said with encouragement in his eyes: "Don't be nervous, I am your father-in-law, you are my mother-in-law, and we are people who want to be together for a lifetime."
I don't want to hide these things from you, and I won't hide them from you, let you sit so close and listen to my conversation with my mother clearly, also because you are my Xu Shiqiu's wife.
So you don't need to feel embarrassed, as if you overheard my conversation with my mother. I'm afraid there will be a lot of these things in the future, after all, I want to be close to others, only if you are around, there will be no accidents. ”
Xu Shiqiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him saying this, anyway, he had already decided that his bad luck would be suppressed, all because of the little lady.
Seeing that her own lady said this, seeing that she seemed to nod her head ignorantly, Xu Shiqiu laughed and continued: "Lady, in the future, the shops at home will be placed under your name, and I will rely on you to support my husband." ”
Xu Shiqiu said this deliberately, and sure enough, after hearing his words, Dong Shu immediately looked at him with bright eyes and promised: "Xianggong, don't worry, I will study hard and earn a lot of money back!" ”
Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu like this, trying to hold back his laughter and not let himself laugh.
But the look on his face betrayed his good mood.
Xu Shiqiu only thinks that how his little lady looks and how cute she is!
Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, she thought about what her husband said just now, and she also felt that her cousin would do it better than the restaurant he had in the town before.
And she is also worried that the children and nephews of her uncle and uncle are reluctant to come, although in her heart, her own father-in-law is the best!
However, she can't decide this matter for her cousin, and when her menstrual affair is over, she still has to go back and ask her cousin, if her cousin is willing, she can.
