The comfortable time in Zhuangzi was temporarily disturbed because of the news of the Jiang family, and everyone in the family who knew about it except for the Jiang family was worried about Xu Yanzhu, afraid that if she was involved in the Jiang family's affairs, something would happen.

It's the Jiang family, two days after Mrs. Xu finished asking, she didn't have the energy, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would do something after she found out about it.

After waiting for two days, seeing that her mother-in-law's attitude towards her was still the same as before, Jiang slowly improved.

Mrs. Xu didn't have the heart to care about the Jiang family, because of this matter, Mrs. Xu asked Xu Shiqiu to send a letter to Jiang Han that night, saying that she wanted Xu Yanzhu to accompany her on Zhuangzi for a few more days.

Jiang Han's reply was very fast, not only agreeing that Xu Yanzhu would continue to live in Zhuangzi, but also saying that he would come to Mrs. Xu in person to say goodbye in a few days.

Seeing that Jiang Han did not ask Xu Yanzhu to go back, several people in the Xu family also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yanzhu was moved by the concern of several elders in the family for him, and he also put this matter aside for the time being, and began to seriously take refuge in Zhuangzi for the summer.

Even a few small ones were completely crazy in Zhuangzi, until he received a message sent by Ye Jingxing, and the next day, he would come to Zhuangzi to greet Mrs. Xu.

As soon as they heard that someone was coming to the Five Princes' Mansion, several children immediately reined in and did not play like crazy two days ago.

In the afternoon of the second day, Ye Jingxing finally came to Zhuangzi with a group to pick up Xu Nuanwen. Accompanying him, there is naturally one of his staff, Xu Chang's family, who only has two daughters in the family.

Xu Chang is ordinary, his wife's surname is Mei, and she is a bright-looking woman.

Two daughters, the eldest is called Xu Ting, and the younger is called Xu Wan. Xu Ting looks like Xu Chang, and Xu Wan looks like Mei.

However, the two daughters have very good temperaments, especially Xu Ting, perhaps because she is the eldest daughter, she is not very old but looks very stable. Not only have I read books, but I also know how to do business, except for my ordinary appearance, everything else is very good.

Jiang was very satisfied when she saw such a daughter-in-law, she thought well in her heart, marry a wife and marry a virtuous woman, and take a concubine. Now this Xu Ting is not good-looking, but it is very good to be a lady for her eldest son, and it is a big deal to wait for the eldest grandson to be born in the future, so that her son can charge two more rooms.

But Xu Shiqiu had a good talk with Xu Yanlang on the night when the two families met.

"Although the Xu family is not obvious now, the daughter of the Xu family is more than enough for you. Now that the two families have begun to discuss marriage, you should control yourself and don't cause anything. Xu Shiqiu watched Xu Yanlang finish saying this, and saw that he seemed a little puzzled, so he continued: "Although the appearance of the daughter of the Xu family is average, she can help you revitalize the family business, you are the eldest son of the second room, you must remember what you have to do." If your mother arranges a room for you......"

Before Xu Shiqiu's words were finished here, Xu Yanlang had already come back to his senses and looked at him and said firmly: "I won't want it!" After replying loudly, Xu Yanlang came back to his senses, looked at Xu Shiqiu with a little embarrassment and said, "My sister told me that if you want the Xu family to be willing to be with me, you can't have other women." I promised my sister that as long as the Xu family can give birth to a son, she will never accept the house. ”

"Good!" Xu Shiqiu really didn't expect that Xu Yanlang, who was not very smart, would be able to say such a thing.

Although Xu Yanzhu mentioned these things, if he didn't have this heart, no matter how much Xu Yanzhu mentioned, it would be useless.

Xu Yanlang didn't expect the third uncle to praise himself, he smiled at Xu Shiqiu embarrassedly, and then said: "Actually, I think the Xu family is good, after all, I am not very handsome." ”

Xu Yanlang's voice was very small, but Xu Shiqiu still heard his words clearly.

Xu Shiqiu was quite satisfied with Xu Yanlang's performance today, and told him a few more words, so he let him leave.

After Xu Yanlang left, Xu Shiqiu went to the courtyard where Xu Nuanwen's family lived and saw his brother-in-law Ye Jingxing.

"Shiqiu, I've worked hard for you these days."

Ye Jingxing's words were sincere, he didn't want too many women in his backyard, so if Xu Shiqiu didn't go to the barracks, then he would not have the support of the generals.

The Zhang family also took the imperial examination route, and he had the support of his grandfather's family in civil affairs, but in terms of military generals, he had always been secretly helped by King Duan, but after all, their brothers were all nephews of King Duan, and King Duan would not help him alone.

But the Xu family is different.

The Xu family is his mother's mother's family, Xu Shiqiu is his brother-in-law, he has soldiers in his hands, and he will only help himself.

That's why Ye Jingxing said something like that to Xu Shiqiu just now.

Xu Shiqiu also understood what his brother-in-law meant, and after he smiled at his brother-in-law, he said, "Brother-in-law, I went to the barracks for our Xu family." Dad was a general at the beginning, but now there are no generals at home, which is too embarrassing for Dad. ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment and continued: "What's more, I also have my own selfishness. ”

Ye Jingxing understood what Xu Shiqiu said about 'selfishness', he had heard about the matter between the Xu family and his third brother, so when he had the opportunity some time ago, he directly cheated his third brother twice.

"Family, don't talk about this." Ye Jingxing looked at Xu Shiqiu and said such a sentence, and then told him some things that Xu Shiqiu didn't know about the court.

After finishing speaking, Ye Jingxing looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "My father's body is really not very good, I heard two days ago that he punished the hospital." "These words, if it were someone else, Ye Jingxing would never say it.

But Xu Shiqiu in front of him is not only his wife and brother, but also his helper, so he naturally won't hide it.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu heard Ye Jingxing's words, he frowned and said, "The saint didn't say it, but a few days ago, someone came to ask me how the training of the new army was. ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Jingxing sighed and continued: "I sometimes don't understand what my father thinks. Since the prince left, he has ...... to our brothers."

Ye Jingxing's words were not finished, but Xu Shiqiu already understood what he meant.

Rui Kangdi has not revealed which son he wants to pass on the throne to, and he doesn't care about the fight between the sons, but once any of the sons' power development overwhelms the other sons too much, he will suppress it.

Xu Shiqiu understands this, and Ye Jingxing also understands it.

It was precisely because he understood this that Ye Jingxing slowly withdrew after Xu Shiqiu entered the barracks, and did not develop as rapidly as in the first half of the year.

Because he stopped in time, Rui Kangdi did not have time to suppress his forces, and all the forces he developed in the first half of the year were preserved.

But it is precisely because of his development in the first half of the year that he attracted the attention of other brothers that these days, if it weren't for his father's poor health, they would definitely have to do it to themselves.

Xu Shiqiu also understands these things, although his writing is not as good as that of a serious reader, he still understands things above the court.

As soon as he heard his brother-in-law's words, he thought about it and said directly: "Brother-in-law, the old man is old, so he naturally hopes that his children will be filial. Now that you are not ready to continue to develop your power, it is better to be a filial son with peace of mind. ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words came out, Ye Jingxing glanced at him seriously.

Just when Xu Shiqiu thought he had said the wrong thing, Ye Jingxing suddenly spoke: "Mr. Xu said the same thing." ”

Listening to Ye Jingxing's words, Xu Shiqiu understood that his brother-in-law had someone around him who understood and would not take the wrong path at such a critical time.

The two of them said a few more words, and the names of some of the middle and low-level generals among General Xu Shiqiu, who had been neutral so far, told Ye Jingxing that Ye Jingxing would send someone to investigate after returning to Beijing.

If it is confirmed that these people are really neutral and worth wooing, Xu Shiqiu will help Ye Jingxing win over these people in the next time.

Of course, Xu Shiqiu's movements will not be obvious, after all, it is not appropriate to move too much now.

After talking about everything with Ye Jingxing, Xu Shiqiu returned to Shihuan Courtyard.

When he came back, Dong Shu was about to fall asleep, looking at his little lady's sleepy appearance, Xu Shiqiu smiled and told her what Xu Yanlang said tonight.

Although Dong Shu remembered it intermittently, she still didn't forget to tell Xu Nuanwen about it the next day.

Today, Xu Nuanwen was going to pack up her things and leave Zhuangzi, and while there was still time at this time, she specially came to accompany Mrs. Xu.

Unexpectedly, Dong Shu, a younger sibling, would tell herself the good news before leaving.

"Yan Lang, this kid has finally made some progress." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen looked at Mrs. Xu again and said, "Yan Lang married the daughter of the Xu family, and the next generation will definitely have outstanding sons." ”

Mrs. Xu understood why Xu Nuanwen said this, and she also agreed with Xu Nuanwen's words, the daughter of the Xu family is indeed good, and she can rest assured that there is the daughter of the Xu family in the second room in the future.

However, after Mrs. Xu heard Dong Shu's story, she understood why Xu Shiqiu would talk to Xu Yanlang about these things.

"I'll talk to the Jiang family later, so that she doesn't have trouble with her eldest daughter-in-law in the future, if the second room wants to get up, the housekeeping can only be placed in the hands of the Xu family."

Mrs. Xu understood that her second son and second daughter-in-law were not very smart people, and the second room wanted to slowly catch up with the big house and the third room, so she could only let the Xu family be the housekeeper.

Regarding Mrs. Xu's decision, Xu Nuanwen naturally agreed.

"Mother, I'll go back to Beijing after lunch, and it's really inconvenient to be at home without me." Xu Nuanwen was able to leave the Five Princes' Mansion to play in Zhuangzi for so many days this time, also because Ye Jingxing spent two more minutes at home.

But many things in the inner house are not something that Ye Jingxing can figure out casually.

Xu Nuanwen has been out for so many days, and when she goes back this time, she must be busy for many days.

"If you have something at home, I won't keep you. The hottest days have passed, and the weather should be cooler in another ten days, and we will have to return to Beijing by then. ”

Although their family is in Zhuangzi for summer vacation, there are still posts sent in the capital. These days are a little less, but in a few more days when the weather cools down, they will definitely go back to Beijing, choose two families, and go to their banquet.

Otherwise, they have only held one banquet after returning to Beijing for so long, which is obviously not enough.

Xu Nuanwen understood what Mrs. Xu meant, nodded and agreed, and didn't say anything more.

It's just that the whole family didn't expect that before noon, before Xu Nuanwen's family had time to leave, a carriage hurriedly drove in the direction of the capital.
