Chapter 128: Rumors
Xu Nuanwen understands it, so what she says can also be to the point.
After hearing her words, Dong Shu and Mrs. Xu took them to heart and were ready to convey what she said to Xu Shiqiu.
At this time, in the front yard, Xu Shiqiu also briefly mentioned his recent situation to Ye Jingxing.
What Xu Nuanwen can think of, Ye Jingxing can naturally think of.
But that person was his father after all, and he didn't know how to speak.
Xu Shiqiu sensed that something was wrong with his brother-in-law, but before he had time to think deeply, Ye Shuo had already taken the first step to speak: "Third uncle, can Liu Ze and I go to you to join the army tomorrow?" ”
As soon as he heard Ye Shuo's words, Ye Jingxing just wanted him not to cause trouble for Xu Shiqiu, but Xu Shiqiu spoke first: "I originally planned to tell you about this matter today, it's not impossible for you and Liu Ze to go to the barracks, it's just that you are still too young, and the training will definitely be halved." On weekdays, when I have free time, I follow me to learn. If you want to, then go, and if you don't, wait another two years. ”
Xu Shiqiu naturally didn't think about letting Ye Shuo and Liu Ze start as ordinary soldiers, their identities are here, and they are not suitable to start as ordinary soldiers at all.
But it is not appropriate to arrange official positions for them directly, after all, their age is there, Ye Shuo is okay, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, but Liu Ze is not.
Although they have identities, Xu Shiqiu also has to consider the other people in the barracks.
You can take special care of it, but it is absolutely impossible to give an official position as soon as you come.
Ye Shuo originally wanted to say 'you don't need special care from the third uncle', but when she heard Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Jingxing, who knew what kind of character her son was, couldn't help but look at Ye Shuo and said, "If you don't want to, don't go." ”
As soon as Ye Jingxing spoke, Ye Shuo still had the heart to bargain, and nodded at Xu Shiqiu busily, "Okay, I'll go to Liu Ze later and tell him about it." ”
Ye Shuo would say this, naturally because today's post of the Xu family also gave a copy to Liu Fang'er of the Liu family.
After all, Liu Fang'er is the original concubine, and with Liu Ze's advance notice, it is not strange after receiving the Xu family's post.
It's just that the Liu family is very curious about why the Xu family would give Liu Fang'er a post, and the Xu family doesn't have a girl of the same age as her.
However, although the Liu family didn't understand, Liu Ze still accompanied Liu Fang'er to the Xu family on this day.
There were more and more guests at home, and Dong Shu also walked out of the hall of the main courtyard, accompanied by Xu Nuanwen, and greeted the ladies who came.
Although the Zhang family brought Zhang Yiran here today, they also brought another girl from the Zhang family, who is Zhang Yiran's niece according to her generation.
Seeing the other daughter of the Zhang family, Dong Shu understood that the sister-in-law had taken a fancy to this girl.
Zhang Yiran apologized to Dong Shu as soon as she came, Dong Shu could see that she didn't really want to apologize, but after all, the two families were related, and Dong Shu didn't want her sister to be difficult, so she naturally forgave Zhang Yiran.
Zhang Yiran was pressed by Mrs. Zhang, and no matter how much unhappiness she had, she couldn't express it.
Because after the Zhang family discussed with Concubine De, they had already begun to arrange a marriage for her, and Mrs. Zhang had already said that if she caused trouble again, she would marry directly.
The Zhang family can't keep her daughter who actually causes trouble for the Zhang family!
Zhang Yiran hated the Xu family in her heart, but no matter how unhappy she was, she could only endure it before the family affairs were decided.
After the Zhang family arrived, others also arrived one after another.
Although Liu Fang'er came with Liu Ze, Liu Ze went to the front yard after coming to greet Mrs. Xu, leaving Liu Fang'er alone here.
As soon as Dong Shu turned her head, she saw Liu Fang'er staying alone.
She instructed Ling Xiang to invite Liu Fang'er over, then looked at her and said, "But it's boring? Let the young lady of the Jiang family play with you later. ”
Xu Yanzhu led Jiang Han to ask Mrs. Xu for peace before, and as soon as she came to find the third aunt, she heard her words.
"Whose girl is this, it's so good-looking." Xu Yanzhu was generous, and after approaching Liu Fang'er, she couldn't help but look at her again.
Liu Fang'er is actually not good-looking, but she is the kind of face that makes people feel comfortable at first glance.
At this time, Liu Fang'er heard Xu Yanzhu's words and knew that she was Ye Shuo's cousin, so she couldn't help blushing.
Dong Shu didn't expect Xu Yanzhu to tease others, she couldn't help laughing, and said to Xu Yanzhu: "I still have to entertain other guests, Yanzhu, you accompany Miss Liu around." ”
"Third aunt, don't worry, I will take care of Miss Liu." Xu Yanzhu knew that Ye Shuo and Liu Fang'er had not yet made a marriage, and she was not doing too much, so after hearing Dong Shu's words, she immediately restrained herself.
After Dong Shu made sure that Liu Fanger was accompanied, she continued to entertain other guests.
The courtyard of the Xu family is very large, after a period of care, the scenery is also good, and the most surprising thing is the food of the Xu family.
When the Xu family returned to Beijing, they brought a lot of dried fish, dried shrimp and other seafood that were only available in Xiahe Village, which would be cooked by the Xu family's cooks, and the taste would naturally go to the next level.
Today's banquet of the Xu family is to contact feelings, and it is also to let Yuan Xi come out to meet people.
After all, Yuan Xi is the only heir of the Xu family's third room, and Dong Shu is favored by the queen, so she is constantly praised as soon as she appears.
Xu Nuanwen's identity is different, except for the introduction of Dong Shu at the beginning, almost only Dong Shu herself has contact with the daughters of each family.
Dong Shu was busy for most of the day, and she didn't see Jiang Han until the banquet was almost over.
For some reason, at the first sight of Jiang Han, Dong Shu had a strange feeling, and always felt that Jiang Han's eyes were very strange when he looked at him.
And under such eyes, Jiang Han's eyes still had a hint of consideration, but Dong Shu didn't notice it.
Thinking of the identities of the two, Dong Shu didn't take Jiang Han's eyes to heart when he looked at him, but he still wanted to find an opportunity to tell Xu Shiqiu about it.
After the banquet was over and everyone was satisfied with leaving, Dong Shu told Xu Shiqiu what Xu Nuanwen said today.
As soon as Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Shu's words, he reacted to why he looked like that when he told his brother-in-law about this today.
"Don't worry, lady, I'll think about it." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu took the initiative to say: "Now that the banquet has been held, when will the lady take her mother and Yuan Xi to Zhuangzi to escape the summer?" ”
Dong Shu was about to talk about what happened when she met Jiang Han today, but who knew that she heard Xu Shiqiu's words again.
After she smiled and shook her head, she said, "The house will be cleaned up for two days, and then let people choose a day to go to Zhuangzi." "It's getting hotter and hotter in the capital, because the Xu family wasn't in the capital last winter, so there isn't much ice in the house now.
What's more, Dong Shu heard Dr. Du say that it is not good to use too many ice cubes, so she has long thought about going to Zhuangzi to escape the heat.
When Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Shu's words, he immediately smiled and said: "There is nothing to clean up, I have already chosen a date, and the day after tomorrow will be good." The lady will rest at home tomorrow, enter the palace to see the queen the day after tomorrow, and go to Zhuangzi the day after tomorrow. ”
Dong Shu saw that Xu Shiqiu had arranged everything, and finally could only nod and agree to his arrangement.
After talking about this, Dong Shu opened his mouth to mention that he met Jiang Han today.
"Although Jiang Han is just Yanzhu's father-in-law, and there are some problems in the relationship between them, why does this Jiang Han look at me like this?"
Dong Shu didn't understand this matter, so she naturally told Xu Shiqiu and asked Xu Shiqiu to think about it.
In fact, Xu Shiqiu also remembered this matter before, but he had too many things about himself recently, so he forgot about it for a while.
Now that he heard Dong Shu mention this matter, he took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, the lady will arrange for someone to check on Jiang Han for her husband." ”
Xu Shiqiu said this, but he didn't take this matter to heart, but he just felt that Jiang Han didn't treat them as elders.
Because the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day, Dong Shu went home for a day of rest the next day, but she didn't forget to ask Mama Yan to send a letter to the palace, saying that she would enter the palace tomorrow to ask the queen for peace.
When the queen learned that Dong Shu was coming to see her, she was naturally in a very good mood, not to mention that Dong Shu came very early this day, and accompanied her directly in the palace for most of the day, until the palace door was about to be locked, and she was not ready to go back.
However, when Dong Shu came, he told the queen that he would leave the capital tomorrow and go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to spend the summer.
"This time, you enter the palace to see the main palace, and wait until the next time we meet, I don't know how long you will have to wait." The queen looked at Dong Shu reluctantly, and while talking, she told Mama Su to get the reward she wanted to give Dong Shu.
"Niangniang has already given a lot of rewards." As soon as Dong Shu heard the queen's words, she hurriedly said this.
Hearing her words, the queen immediately couldn't help but smile and said: "Everyone else is trying their best to ask for things from this palace, but you are not at all different from them, and you even dislike the things that this palace gives you too much." ”
As soon as Dong Shu heard the queen's words, she blushed embarrassedly, "The things that Niangniang rewards are excellent, but I regard Niangniang as an elder, and Niangniang gives me so many rewards every time, but it seems that I deliberately approached Niangniang." ”
Dong Shu said this today, also because when the family held a banquet the day before yesterday, Mrs. Zhang casually mentioned Mrs. Xu.
Yesterday, Mrs. Xu learned that Dong Shu was going to enter the palace today, so she told Dong Shu that if the queen wanted to reward her again, she would say these words.
The queen didn't know that Mrs. Xu had mentioned Dong Shu in advance, but now when she heard Dong Shu's words, she couldn't help patting Dong Shu's hand and said: "Your heart for this palace This palace understands that this palace has stayed in this deep palace for decades, whether it is true or false, it can naturally be distinguished." After saying this, the queen glanced at Dong Shu, and then continued: "You don't have to worry, you just have to follow what the palace gives you in the future, and you don't have to care what others say." ”
The queen said this, but in her heart she thought that someone would check it out, since Dong Shu said these words, it must be because there were rumors outside the palace.
And the queen knows Dong Shu's temperament very well, she thinks that Dong Shu will refuse her reward today, it must be because she was told by Mrs. Xu.
What's more, the queen didn't expect it, after all, in her heart, Dong Shu is very simple.
Dong Shu didn't understand what the queen meant, but she finally nodded obediently and left the palace with the reward given by the queen.
After Dong Shu went home, she went directly to the main courtyard and told Mrs. Xu about today's incident in the palace.
"Mother, does the queen understand why I said that?"
"Well, the queen understands." After saying this, Mrs. Xu thought about it and looked at Dong Shu and said, "It's good to mention this only once today, and you must not mention it again in front of the queen in the future." ”
As soon as Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu say this, she naturally nodded her head and wrote down her words.
The Xu family was about to leave the capital and go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts, Xu Shiqiu also brought a few people into the barracks, and at the same time, another group of people was also rushing to the capital.
