For such an official position, Xu Shiqiu is satisfied.

From the fourth grade, it just happened to be stuck on the middle-level military attaché, although it is not high, but it is not low, it is a grade that can lead a team of people by himself.

And the relatives of officials above the fifth rank can just participate in the queen's birthday for a few days, and he can also go to the court on weekdays, which is a grade that is very suitable for his current situation.

From this official position, Xu Shiqiu can also feel that Rui Kangdi is satisfied with himself.

"The soldiers and horses that your father was in charge of at the beginning, but now your official position is too low to be handed over to you. However, the soldiers who followed your father are still there, and you can pick out the recruits you want from those homes.

There are only 1,000 other generals under the command of the fourth-rank generals, and I have specially approved that you can recruit 500 more recruits. In three months, I want to see the recruits you trained, and if they do well, I will give you a promotion. ”

Rui Kandi did not embarrass Xu Shiqiu, and did not give him a team of men and horses that others had already trained, but let him train the recruits himself.

Although it will be difficult to train new recruits at first, as long as they are trained well, these soldiers will be the support for him to climb up in the future.

And Rui Kangdi also gave Xu Shiqiu a goal, if Xu Shiqiu could really train a group of recruits well in three months, he would promote Xu Shiqiu.

From the upper level of General Sipin Xianwu, General Sipin Mingwei and General Guangwei are already people, Xu Shiqiu boldly guessed that the official position promised by Emperor Ruikang should be General Huaiyuan or General Dingyuan.

After Xu Shiqiu understood this, he nodded directly, and then expressed his gratitude to Ruikangdi.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu understood his intention to do this, Rui Kangdi spoke: "It just so happens that you can also use this to show your strength, your father went all the way from an ordinary soldier to the position of the general of Zhenguo." ”

As soon as Rui Kangdi's words came out, Xu Shiqiu understood what he meant, "Weichen must do his best not to embarrass his father." ”

No matter how much he said, Xu Shiqiu didn't say it, because he knew in his heart that even if Emperor Ruikang gave him an official position now, he was the one who killed his father after all.

Dong Shu sat on the side until Xu Shiqiu got an official position, and after saying this, the queen shifted her attention from Yuan Xi to hers.

"Now that you are an official's dependent, although your grade is not high, you are not a woman at all."

The queen's voice was very soft, but Dong Shu heard it clearly.

After the queen's words fell, she first raised her head and smiled at the queen, and then replied in a low voice: "Well, I should be called 'courtier' in the future." After saying this, Dong Shu didn't wait for the queen to open her mouth and continued: "It just so happens that I have been preparing birthday gifts for my mother these days, and I originally planned to ask Mama Yan to secretly send them into the palace, but now it seems that I don't need it." ”

When the queen heard Dong Shu's words, she immediately smiled and said, "Then the palace is waiting for your congratulatory gift." ”

The queen didn't take it to heart when she said this, because she felt that no matter what gift Dong Shu prepared for her, she would be very happy.

Today, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu did not stay in the palace for a long time, Dong Shu estimated the time, and felt that Yuan Xi was almost hungry and said goodbye to the queen.

Recently, the queen was recuperating and did not forcibly leave Dong Shu, but before Dong Shu left, she still specially told Dong Shu that when she waited for her birthday banquet, she must enter the palace early.

During the time when the queen and Dong Shu were talking, Mama Yan also told Mama Su about the recent situation of Dong Shu, and finally Mama Su would sort out these things and inform the queen.

Dong Shu had already been reminded by Mrs. Xu and knew what Mama Yan would do after entering the palace, so it was not surprising to see her and Mama Su appear together when she left.

After leaving the palace and getting on the mule cart, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said, "I will go to the barracks tomorrow to recruit soldiers, and I will not stay at home all the time in the future." But if there's something going on at home, you can let me know and I'll be back as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she looked at him with a little hesitation and said, "Can Xianggong come back every day in the future?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't." Xu Shiqiu didn't want to deceive Dong Shu, his father told him that he wanted to become a brother with the soldiers under him who could rest assured that he would hand over his back to each other, and he not only had the ability to lead them to make meritorious contributions, but also discarded his identity in a timely manner and mixed with them to contact their feelings.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said truthfully: "I'll try to come back every day, if not, I'll see if I can take you to Zhuangzi outside the city." It was close to the barracks, and it was only a cup of tea for horseback riding. ”

Xu Shiqiu had already considered this issue after determining his official position.

He will definitely not be able to come back every day in the future, but it is not realistic to let Dong Shu take Yuan Xi to live near the barracks. The best way is to let Dong Shu take Yuan Xi to live in Zhuangzi.

is so close, even if something happens, he can rush back in time.

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she nodded and responded: "This is a good idea, then when the affairs of the family are dealt with, I will take Yuan Xi to live in Zhuangzi for a few days." After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and continued: "There are also mothers, sisters and Yanzhu, didn't you say that Yanzhu's Zhuangzi is next door?" Ask Shang Yanzhu to live with him for a few days, it will definitely be possible. ”

Xu Shiqiu just looked at Dong Shu and said his arrangement, and did not speak.

He hoped that when he stayed in the barracks, the little lady would be as happy as she was today.

Because he understands that from the moment he accepts this official position today, he will no longer be able to be by her side as before.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at Dong Shu and said: "You have a good idea, I'm afraid there are many people in the capital these days, just during this time, I can go home every day, and when the weather is hot in a few days, you and your mother will take Yuan Xi together, and then call Shangyanzhu to Zhuangzi to escape the summer." ”

Saying this, Xu Shiqiu also thought in his heart that he should send a letter to Xu Jun and ask him to take advantage of this time to overhaul Zhuangzi again.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking about in his heart, Yuan Xi was clamoring to eat milk after she arrived at the mule cart, her milk was not much, Yuan Xi was not full, although she was hugging, she was still not satisfied.

As soon as she returned home, Dong Shu didn't have time to take Yuan Xi back to Shihuan Courtyard to find her nurse, when she heard that her sister Xu Nuanwen and eldest niece Xu Yanzhu were here.

Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment, and then looked directly at Dong Shu and said, "Let's go directly to the main courtyard with Yuan Xi, and I will ask people to call Yuan Xi's nurse." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu was afraid that Dong Shu would be unwilling, so he hurriedly continued: "Sister and Yanzhu definitely want to see Yuan Xi and let them take a look." ”

As soon as he heard Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu naturally didn't want to say anything, so he could only let him carry Yuan Xi to the main courtyard.

Mama Yan saw that they were going to the main courtyard, and hurriedly said, "Third lady, the servant will go back to Shihuan Courtyard first, and tell the nurse to go to the main courtyard to find you?" ”

Hearing Mama Yan's words, Dong Shu stopped, turned her head to look at her, and said, "Then it's hard Mama Yan." After saying this, Dong Shu nodded at Mama Yan, then turned around and followed Xu Shiqiu to continue walking towards the main courtyard.

Yuan Xi, who didn't eat enough, was honest in her mother's arms just now, and she would pout and cry unhappily when she arrived in the arms of her father.

Xu Shiqiu shook her twice, but Yuan Xihuang cried instead.

Seeing that Yuan Xi cried, Dong Shu was about to take her into his arms.

But Xu Shiqiu was reluctant to let Dong Shu be tired, not only insisted on holding Yuan Xi, but also accelerated the pace of walking towards the main courtyard.

Dong Shu's legs were much shorter than Xu Shiqiu's, and when Xu Shiqiu strode forward, she could only trot up to keep up with Xu Shiqiu's pace.

It wasn't until he was about to walk to the gate of the main courtyard that Xu Shiqiu slowed down.

In the hall of the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu was talking to Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu about the return of the big room and the second room yesterday, but just halfway through the conversation, she heard Yuan Xi's cry.

As soon as they heard Yuan Xi's cry, where did the few people in the hall still have the heart to continue talking, Ye Shuo led Ye Xuan to run the fastest, and before Xu Nuanwen could react, he walked out of the hall directly.

"Hey, third uncle, why did you make your little cousin cry?"

"What nonsense, your little cousin is hungry, so I didn't make me cry."

"Then why do I look at my little cousin so wronged?"

"If you don't believe it, ask your third aunt, Yuan Xi is hungry."

Listening to the sound of talking getting closer and closer outside, Xu Nuanwen raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Xu and said, "I think Shiqiu is in a good mood, mother, you can rest assured this time." ”

As soon as Xu Nuanwen's words fell, Xu Yanzhu also took the opportunity to answer: "What my aunt said is that grandmother, you can rest assured." ”

Mrs. Xu didn't expect that although she tried her best to hide it, her daughter and eldest granddaughter still saw that she had been worried just now.

She just wanted to speak, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu also brought Yuan Xi and Ye Shuo and Ye Xuan, who had just gone out, in.

Seeing them appear, Mrs. Xu hurriedly glanced at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, and after seeing that both of them looked very natural, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Can it be smooth to enter the palace today?" ”

"It went well, but I met the third prince at the gate of the palace." As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished saying this, he noticed that the three people in the room instantly fell on him.

"But I only spoke to him twice, and I didn't talk to him." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly opened his mouth and said all the situations he met Ye Jingche today.

After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen immediately answered: "He should be in a hurry." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen sighed before continuing: "The Holy Lord intends to return the military power that his father was in charge of to the Xu family, and he should also know about it. ”

"So he's actually trying to woo me today?" As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished saying this, he suddenly frowned and continued: "It should be more than that, I'm afraid he still wants us to fight." ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Nuanwen immediately glanced at Mrs. Xu, and after seeing that her mother had no expression, she said: "This should be what it means, the plan of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, he should know." ”

"Uncle and aunt's thoughts have not been hidden before, and many families in the capital thought that the third uncle would not return to Beijing, let alone that the third uncle's bad luck would be suppressed."

The most important point Xu Yanzhu didn't say, many families in the capital should not have thought that her third aunt was a blessed one who would make the queen in the palace like her.

But this matter must not be hidden for a long time, as far as the frequency of her third aunt entering the palace and the Yan Mama from Fengyi Palace next to her, as long as she is not stupid, she will definitely be able to see something.

Xu Yanzhu could think of this matter, and everyone else in the room except Dong Shu and Ye Xuan could think of it.

Ye Shuo knew that his identity was not suitable to ask more, so not only did he not speak, but instead pulled Ye Xuan to the side to tease Yuan Xi, who was finally held in Dong Shu's arms.

Yuan Xi cried aggrievedly for a while just now, which would be a little tiring, because she was hugged by her mother again, she finally stopped crying.

When Ye Shuo pulled Ye Xuan to tease her, after a while, she giggled again.

Yuan Xi finally stopped crying, and Dong Shu had the heart to look at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, what were you talking about just now?" ”

Hearing Dong Shu's question, Xu Shiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Tell my mother, my sister and Yanzhu about our entry into the palace today." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't wait for Old Lady Xu or Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu to speak, and directly took out the holy decree he got today and continued: "The Holy Lord gave me an official position as a general from the fourth rank, and specially approved that I can recruit five hundred more recruits, give me three months, and let me train recruits. ”

Xu Shiqiu had a shallow smile on his face, but as soon as he finished saying this, Xu Nuanwen frowned and said, "Did the Holy Lord really give you three months?" ”
