The familiar feeling was only for a moment, and when she shook her head slightly, she was sure that she should be dazzled, otherwise how could she see a person here who had already passed away.

After Xu Yanzhu sighed lightly and left, a figure slowly revealed where she was standing just now.

Looking at the back of Xu Yanzhu leaving, the person who came clenched his fists, and then left here without looking back.

Today, he shouldn't have been here, but he didn't control his heart.

Now that he has taken a look, he has hooked all the thoughts he has been pressing in his heart for many years.

No third person knows what happened here, that is, Xu Yanzhu, after returning to his yard, when he thought of this event, he only thought that he was dazzled.

Because the second day was the day when Xu Shiqiu gave the barracks a holiday, and he was busy for several days because of the training and assessment, he slept a little more this morning.

When Xu Shiqiu woke up, he saw that the little lady in his arms was still asleep, and a light smile immediately appeared on his face.

Last night, after the little lady told herself that she wanted to have another child, she was very enthusiastic, but he knew in his heart that since the little lady gave birth to Yuan Xi, he asked Dr. Du to ask for a decoction to prevent the lady from getting pregnant.

This medicine is drunk once a month, and he is still drinking it now, planning to wait until Yuan Xi turns one year old and then stop taking the medicine for three months, and then let the little lady get pregnant.

But he didn't plan to tell the little lady about this, after all, such an active little lady was really tempting, and he was reluctant to eat it next time.

After thinking about these things, Xu Shiqiu got up lightly and went out of the house to start morning exercise without alarming Dong Shu.

More than a quarter of an hour after Xu Shiqiu got up, Dong Shu also woke up.

As soon as she woke up, Dong Shu felt that her whole body seemed to fall apart, although last night was not her first time, but after tossing it like that, she really wanted half her life.

Because Dong Shu really couldn't lift her spirits, she had been resting in Shihuan Courtyard for half a morning, until it was almost time for lunch, and she was led to the main courtyard by Xu Shiqiu.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu knew what was going on as soon as she saw Dong Shu, and secretly glared at Xu Shiqiu, who didn't know how to control herself, and then looked at Dong Shu and said: "In two days, your brother-in-law will bring the staff of the house to be a guest, and you will have someone send a letter to your second sister-in-law later, so that she can remember to bring Yan Lang and Yan Wei to me to see." ”

Dong Shu is not just married to Xu Shiqiu now, so she naturally understands what is going on as soon as she hears such hints.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll arrange this later." After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's not good to invite the second sister-in-law's family to come over, so it's better to send a letter to the sister-in-law, that is, it is inconvenient for the Hu family to give birth, and Yanmo is also the age of fun, and now the lotus flowers on the Zhuangzi are blooming just right, so it is good for her to accompany her mother." ”

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Mrs. Xu understood what she meant.

Although this time it was a blind date for Yan Lang and the girl from the staff of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, outsiders didn't know after all.

If you only send a letter to the second room this time and don't send a letter to the big room, it won't sound good to spread out.

"You can arrange this." Mrs. Xu is now more and more at ease with Dong Shu, so she naturally handed over the matter directly to her.

After lunch, Dong Shu began to arrange the matter.

The lotus flowers on the Zhuangzi are really good, Dong Shu asked people to prepare for the guests at home, and at the same time explained a few words to the Wang family.

"After you return to Beijing, send a letter to the palace first, even if you can't meet the queen in person, you have to meet Mama Su." After saying this, Dong Shu pointed to the lotus picture embroidered by himself and said: "This picture was painted by my husband and embroidered under the guidance of Mama Yan. ”

Dong Shu originally wanted to send some food to the queen, such as lotus cake or something, but Yan Mama said that it was not what she was staring at with her own eyes, so it was better not to send food.

So in the end, the only ones that could be sent to the palace were the embroidered picture of the lotus flower and a few boxes of Dong Shu who followed Mama Yan to learn the lotus dew that was concocted.

Lotus dew is the best way to wipe your face in summer, refreshing and with a faint fragrance of lotus flowers.

However, Dong Shu didn't just want to please the queen, but thought that Emperor Ruikang had not proposed the palace to escape the summer this year, and he was afraid that the queen would be uncomfortable staying in the palace.

It's also fun to let people send these into the palace yourself.

"Madame, rest assured, the servant will personally hand over these things to the hands of the people around the queen."

As soon as Wang's words came out, Dong Shu understood what she meant, and she didn't refute it, after all, Mama Yan had taught her that she would rather not be able to give this thing away, and it could not fall into the hands of others.

"Well, you go and prepare, and you will enter Beijing early tomorrow morning, remember to come back early."

After Dong Shu finished speaking, the Wang family withdrew.

As soon as the Wang family left, Mama Yan led the eight little girls into the house.

"Madam, these eight servants, the servants have been adjusted. Teach well. ”

Before, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu felt that there were few people serving in the courtyard, although Xu Shiqiu wanted to use servants, but in the end, the Xu family still wanted to save face.

So he asked Xu Jun to choose four big, four and eight girls from Zhuangzi and send them to the house.

Eight little girls were personally transferred by Mama Yan. After teaching for a month, he has been reborn, and now standing in front of Dong Shu, Dong Shu feels quite satisfied.

"It's hard work, Mama Yan." Dong Shu first thanked Mama Yan, and then continued: "Mama Yan has worked hard for a month and is relaxed, I will let the Wang family enter Beijing tomorrow morning, if Mama has any arrangements, you might as well go with you." ”

Dong Shu knew that Mama Yan had been sending news of her home to the queen after Mrs. Xu's order, so she said it directly.

Yan Mama was not surprised when she heard Dong Shu's words, and after nodding, she responded directly.

Waiting for Dong Shu and Mama Yan to say good things, Dong Shu looked at the eight little girls at the head again.

The eight little girls have been standing respectfully when Dong Shu and Mama Yan were talking, without looking at each other and without any dissatisfaction.

It wasn't until this meeting that Dong Shu looked at them and said, "You were all selected from Zhuangzi, and now that you have been in the mansion for a month, you should have received your own work." Dong Shu spoke, looked at the four younger girls in front of her, glanced at the silk flowers on their heads, and understood their performance this month.

Yan Mama was worried that Dong Shu would not pick people, so she specially informed Dong Shu in advance that five of the eight little girls performed well, but the other three were not outstanding but they were honest and had another skill.

Therefore, Mama Yan asked eight people to wear different silk flowers in advance, so that Dong Shu could arrange it directly and stabilize her face in front of these maids.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu directly pointed to the two little girls wearing red silk flowers at the front and said, "One of you calls Hanlan and the other calls Molan, and you will be the third-class maids next to the girl in the future." After saying this, Dong Shu directly pointed to the older girl wearing a red silk flower behind them and said, "You call Narcissus, and you will be the second-class maid next to the girl in the future." ”

Dong Shu didn't directly refer to the first-class maids, because she was going to let Ling Xiang beside her take them, not to mention that there was still a nurse by Yuan Xi's side now.

After this year, after Yuan Xi is older, I will promote Narcissus to be a first-class maid, and by the way, arrange a few rough maids to go over.

After arranging the maids around Yuan Xi, the remaining five Dong Shu were naturally prepared to stay by their side.

Pointing to the three little girls wearing green silk flowers, Dong Shu said directly: "The three of you will continue to serve with Mama Yan first, and I will arrange you again in a few days." ”

The three of them all knew in their hearts that they usually didn't behave well, so when they heard Dong Shu's words, they instantly understood what she meant.

This is what it means to let them continue to study for a while.

After all, they didn't get the name of their lady today.

After arranging these three performances, they still need to learn for a while, and the other two little girls who are older and perform well are then named by Dong Shu respectively.

"Hexiang and Lixiang, you two will follow me first to receive the second-class maid's moonsilver, and you and Narcissus have been following behind your sister Lingxiang for the past two days to learn how to serve me and the girl on weekdays." After saying this, Dong Shu said two more words to let them do things with peace of mind.

After doing these things, Dong Shu waved his hand and asked them all to retreat.

After the eight little girls went down, Dong Shu looked at Ling Xiang and said, "In the future, you will receive the first-class maid's moon silver, and when Cuihua comes back, I will rename her Cuixiang, and the two of you will be the big maids by my side together." ”

Dong Shudu said it so clearly, how could Ling Xiang not understand what she meant.

After kowtowing and thanking her, Ling Xiang retreated with a smile on her face.

As soon as Ling Xiang left, Dong Shu looked at Mama Yan expectantly.

"Madame is doing a good job today, but these little girls are a little less, and they have to buy some from outside, starting with the third-class maids, and they can't all use Zhuangzi."

Ling Xiang and Cuihua were brought by them from Xiahe Village, although Cuihua is still with Xu Yanzhu now, but Xu Yanzhu also explained that she will let Cuihua come back at the end of this year, after all, the little maid she bought has been adjusted this year. Teach well.

In addition to the two of them and Wang's backyard housekeeper's mother, it is these eight little girls who were selected from Zhuangzi, and now they are buying a few more, and the maids and women composed of the three parties together are the most stable.

"Okay, when I return to Beijing for the summer, I'll ask Ya Po to bring a few little girls to take a look." Dong Shu knew that Mama Yan was right, after all, she had told Xu Shiqiu in private, and Xu Shiqiu also asked her to listen to Mama Yan.

After dealing with these things, Dong Shu asked the nurse to bring Yuan Xi over.

"Your family is a boy, it's not good to send it to Yuan Xi to serve, and now the few little girls I arranged for Yuan Xi, you have to keep an eye on it more on weekdays." The nurse understands Dong Shu's arrangement, and now she feeds the girl with a spoon, so how can she not understand what the lady means.

What's more, the girl doesn't drink much milk every day now, and she can detect that in a few days, the girl is afraid that she will be weaned.

Besides, now that the men in her family have something to do, and the eldest son can also read and write in the house, he naturally does not dare to complain.

Dong Shu saw that Yuan Xi's nurse understood these truths, so she continued: "When Yuan Xi turns one year old, you will pack up and go to the outer courtyard to be a housekeeper mother, and if you want to think about Yuan Xi in the future, just come and see." ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words came out, Yuan Xi's nurse hurriedly saluted Dong Shu and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

She has been serving Yuan Xi since she was confined, and her youngest son was raised by her mother-in-law and men with rice soup.

Now that he is leaving the inner courtyard, after going back, he naturally has to treat his youngest son well.

Dong Shu has just dealt with these things, and Xu Shiqiu has also dealt with some of the things that have accumulated in his hands.

"Just now, the third brother Xu Jun sent a message, saying that the second uncle Xu wants to come to the house tomorrow to have a look, I guess he is afraid that he is here for the eldest grandson of the family." Xu Shiqiu was familiar with Xu Erjia, and as soon as he heard Xu Jun's words, he understood what was going on.

"Brother Ren of Brother Xu Gao's family is fifteen this year, and I am afraid that I will go to participate in the children's examination in the autumn." Xu Shiqiu didn't mean to hide it from Dong Shu, and without waiting for Dong Shu to ask, he opened his mouth directly.

"I didn't expect that the eldest grandson of Second Uncle Xu's family was already fifteen years old." Fifteen years old, which is already the age of pro.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu saw Dong Shu's expression, he knew that she understood what she meant, "Yes, Second Uncle Xu's parents and grandsons are good at reading, but after all, they only studied with an old boy before." I think that tomorrow, Uncle Xu Er is afraid that he will still want to find a new Mr. for Brother Ren. ”

After Xu Shiqiu finished saying this, Dong Shu looked at him puzzled and said, "What are you doing with me about this?" ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Shu's words, he hurriedly suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "I just thought that when I went to talk to my mother about this, you would help secretly ask my sister if the staff member in my brother-in-law's mansion was willing to accept students." ”

Xu Shiqiu knew that his little lady was not a smart person, so he continued directly: "There are also Yan Bo of the eldest brother's family and Yan Wei of the second brother's family, although they are not as good as the eldest brother who can read, but after all, they are the next generation of our Xu family, if they can study together, they can also promote and promote feelings." ”

Dong Shu didn't understand so much, and as soon as she heard Xianggong say this, she thought that she would talk to her sister later.

It was Xu Nuanwen, and as soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, she guessed Xu Shiqiu's thoughts.
