Xu Shiqiu had been paying attention to Xu Yanbo, and when he saw that his expression kept changing, he guessed his thoughts.

Seeing him looking at himself, he couldn't help but chuckle: "What? What other scruples do you have? "I've already figured it out, and I haven't opened my mouth yet, is it really any scruples?

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words fell, Xu Yanbo nodded and said, "Third uncle, you also know that although my mother didn't deliberately suppress me, she didn't mean to cultivate me. If I agree with the third uncle here, but if my mother doesn't agree......"

It's not that Xu Yanbo spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but he has lived under the Ye family for more than ten years, and he can see it too clearly.

His grandmother would not starve him, nor would she deliberately drug him, but she would not cultivate him.

He is literate and can settle accounts, but his grandmother neither asked her husband to teach her how to do scientific research, nor did she hand over the family shop to him to take care of.

Even practicing martial arts is because the children and grandchildren of the Xu family have to learn martial arts, and he has been practicing for a few years.

It's just that he himself understands that his skills may be able to deal with ordinary people, but if he fights with the soldiers in the barracks, he may be beaten very badly.

So he is very worried now, if he really agrees to the third uncle, but if his grandmother knows and doesn't agree, but instead kills him, what should he do?

Xu Yanbo also wants to make a career, after all, according to the rules, the eldest son can get seventy percent of the family's property, and his mother's private house should be subsidized to the second brother, as for him, the concubine, the family property is not much, and no one will subsidize him.

He will also marry and have children in the future, so naturally he can't be so confused.

Xu Yanbo's expression kept changing here, and Xu Shiqiu understood his mind after thinking about it for a while.

Although he is not a concubine, he really has a lot of concubines of officials in the capital.

These concubines heard that they were going to form a new army, and it was specially approved by the saint, so many of them secretly came to register.

After staying with them for a while, Xu Shiqiu naturally figured out their thoughts.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanbo and said, "Yanbo, I will write to your father about this matter." You can rest assured that although your mother did not use her connections on you, she would never harm you after learning that you were motivated. ”

Xu Shiqiu still has this confidence.

Not to mention that his sister-in-law is the concubine of King Duan, although she is the eldest daughter of the concubine, she was also raised by Princess Duan herself, but in the end she is still a concubine.

What's more, Xu Yanbo's biological mother is his sister-in-law's companion, and she thinks she is also good to Xu Yanbo, so if Xu Yanbo has connections, she will not stop her.

After all, if Xu Yanbo is out of business, it will also be beneficial to their big house.

Xu Yanbo still believed what Xu Shiqiu, the third uncle, said, after all, he knew in his heart that the third uncle had always been a special existence at home.

What's more, now there is a third aunt who is valued by the queen's mother.

"In that case, the nephew will obey the arrangement of the third uncle." Xu Yanbo couldn't think of what he was going to do in the future for a while, because he hadn't tried it himself before.

Xu Shiqiu didn't get angry when he heard Xu Yanbo's words, thought about it, and said: "Then you follow me first, think about what you are suitable for for a while, and then tell me when you think clearly, the third uncle will always arrange it for you." ”

When Xu Yanbo heard Xu Shiqiu's words, he naturally nodded in response.

He also understood in his heart that the third uncle would treat him like this, not because he particularly valued himself, but because he was a descendant of the Xu family.

However, Xu Yanbo was not unwilling, the third uncle was willing to promote him, and he was grateful.

After dealing with Xu Yanbo's affairs, Xu Shiqiu returned to the backyard.

At this time, Dong Shu was playing with Yuan Xi, she was talking to Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi actually didn't understand, but she still obediently replied to her mother's 'mmmmmm

Seeing the well-behaved appearance of the daughter in her arms, Dong Shu's mood also became extremely good.

"Lady." As soon as Xu Shiqiu entered the door, she called Dong Shu softly, and after she raised her eyes, she continued: "Lady, Second Uncle Xu came here today, everything is going well?" ”

Xu Shiqiu came back today and met three nephews in a row after dinner, and it was not until this meeting that he had time to calm down and talk to Dong Shu.

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she hurriedly told Xu Shiqiu all about Xu Er's coming today.

After listening to Dong Shu's story, Xu Shiqiu nodded and said, "It's okay for my sister to arrange it like this." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu remembered that Dong Shu did not mention Xu Yanzhu, so he asked her again.

"Yanzhu ......" Dong Shu thought of Xu Yanzhu, and also felt a little puzzled, "Yanzhu doesn't know what's going on in the past two days, as long as she stops, she raises her head and doesn't know what she is thinking." When I asked her, she wouldn't say, only that she was fine. My sister also asked her this afternoon, but she refused to say, and her angry sister glared at her for a while. ”

After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and continued: "I really couldn't do it later, so I entrusted some things at home to Yanzhu and asked her to help me do it. But after she had finished what I had explained, she still sat still. ”

"Second sister-in-law, they are here, and she is also sitting like this?" As soon as Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Shu's words, he blurted out such a sentence.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, Dong Shu also shook her head and said, "Well, and even if my mother said that she would ask her second sister-in-law about the Jiang family tomorrow, she didn't mention any interest." ”

Xu Shiqiu knew what his little lady was referring to when she said 'the affairs of the Jiang family', but he just didn't expect that Yanzhu would become like this.

"It's a little late today, I'll come back early tomorrow and see Yanzhu." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said, "Lady, it's not early, let's rest early." ”

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, her eyes immediately lit up, and then she got up quickly and called Yuan Xi's nurse outside the house.

After the nurse took Yuan Xi away, she looked at Xu Shiqiu both shyly and expectantly.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu saw the eyes of his little lady, he understood what she wanted to do, not only was he not afraid, but he looked forward to it.

Early the next morning, Xu Shiqiu left home refreshed and went to the barracks to continue training recruits, but Dong Shu slept for half an hour longer than usual before getting up.

Fortunately, the guests at home are used to Dong Shu not appearing early in the morning, so it is not surprising.

Dong Shu got up and asked about the family affairs, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she explained: "Prepare some fresh food these days, and don't break the snacks for the children." ”

Dong Shu felt that several nephews and nieces were about the same age as herself, and she herself felt that she was sometimes hungry, so she also felt that several of them would be hungry except for eating.

So the snacks in their yard naturally can't be broken.

When the servants listened to her words, they naturally nodded in response.

Now is the time when Zhuangzi has a lot of dishes, and there is no shortage of chickens, ducks and fish on Zhuangzi, but the meat is a little inconvenient.

But it's a hot day, and it's enough to buy a slaughtered pig in two or three days.

What's more, Zhuangzi has a back mountain, and there are also prey on the back mountain, and occasionally they can get game, so after Dong Shu's explanation fell, the servants did not find it difficult.

When Dong Shu arrived at the main courtyard, Xu Yanbo and Xu Yanmo from the big room, as well as a family of four in the second room, as well as Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu, all arrived.

Dong Shu hugged Yuan Xi, and as soon as she arrived here, she smiled embarrassedly: "I'm late." As he spoke, he was going to hold Yuan Xi and salute Mrs. Xu.

"No need to be polite, I know you have to deal with things at home in the morning." Mrs. Xu spoke directly when Dong Shu's words just fell, and without waiting for Dong Shu to salute, she continued: "Hurry up and bring Yuan Xi here, why don't you see her all night, why do I look at her and get older?" ”

As soon as she heard Mrs. Xu's words, Dong Shu immediately took two quick steps and sent Yuan Xi in her arms to Mrs. Xu's arms, "It may be that Yuan Xi is wearing clothes today are light in color, so they look a little bigger than yesterday." As she spoke, Dong Shu slowly took two steps back.

Yuan Xi was used to seeing Mrs. Xu at this time of day, and when she saw Mrs. Xu, she grinned at her.

Seeing Yuan Xi's smile, Mrs. Xu naturally called out again.

Dong Shu, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu were all accustomed to this scene, but Xu Yanbo and others saw it for the first time.

Jiang looked at her mother-in-law spoiling the daughter of the third family like this, and just wanted to say 'It's just a girl', but Xu Nuanwen had already spoken: "When I saw Yuan Xi, I was really greedy, and I couldn't wait to steal it home and raise it." ”

As soon as Xu Nuanwen spoke, the Jiang family naturally didn't dare to speak again.

She didn't forget the scene when she first married into the Xu family, when she was tossed by Xu Nuanwen.

Jiang's expression changed, and he thought he was careful, but he didn't know that he had been discovered by Mrs. Xu, Xu Yanzhu and Xu Nuanwen.

As for a few juniors, Xu Yanbo and Xu Yanmo also noticed it, but after all, they were juniors and it was a little difficult to speak.

This will make the old lady Xu look at the Jiang family and stop talking, then she looked at her with a cold expression and said, "Jiang family, you will stay later, I have something to ask you." ”

After saying this to the Jiang family, Mrs. Xu didn't give the Jiang family a chance to ask, and looked directly at Dong Shu and said, "Can the lunch meal be arranged?" It was hot, and I saw that the children didn't use much last night. ”

"I'll arrange it when I come here, and prepare a few more cold dishes and meat dishes that are not greasy." After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and continued: "The servant woman on the Zhuangzi said that the lotus pods in the lotus pond have already matured, and I don't know if the children are interested in picking lotus pods. ”

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Mrs. Xu hadn't opened her mouth yet, and Xu Yanmo had already opened her mouth in surprise: "Interested, third aunt, you're so good, I haven't tried picking lotus pods yet~"

Xu Yanmo is really happy.

Her mother has always used the requirements of famous ladies to train her, but she doesn't know her own temperament, she has been practicing martial arts with her brothers since she was a child, and naturally she is not a character who can be idle.

This time I was able to come to Zhuangzi to visit my grandmother, although my mother explained a lot, but she didn't plan to be obedient, and it was a big deal to go back and be scolded again.

Who knew that just when Xu Yanmo was thinking beautifully, Xu Yanbo suddenly spoke: "Yanmo, before I came, my mother told me to take care of you." ”

As soon as she heard Xu Yanbo's words, Xu Yanmo was immediately stunned, and after glancing at him, she suddenly got up, approached Mrs. Xu and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, you will definitely agree to me picking lotus flowers, right?" I am the daughter of the Xu family, and I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so I am not those delicate girls who breathe when they take two steps. ”

As soon as Xu Yanmo finished speaking, Mrs. Xu hadn't spoken yet, and Xu Nuanwen had already laughed directly.

Hearing her aunt's laughter, Xu Yanmo hurriedly abandoned Mrs. Xu and walked to Xu Nuanwen's side, "Auntie, do you want to go to the lotus pond in the afternoon?" ”

Xu Nuanwen really likes Xu Yanmo's temperament, not to mention that she is also dissatisfied with her sister-in-law's determination to train Xu Yanmo into a delicate girl.

Now that my niece wants to play, she naturally supports it.

"Well, when the evening comes, my aunt will go with you, this is on the Zhuangzi of your third uncle's house, not outside. At that time, let the men in Zhuangzi stay away, and let your brother protect you. ”

Xu Nuanwen doesn't think that the daughters of their Xu family are worse than the men, since the boys can go out to play, the daughter's family is naturally okay.

With Xu Nuanwen opening her mouth, Mrs. Xu naturally would not object.

However, she still didn't forget to tell Xu Yanmo to keep her temper in the future and not to cause trouble.

When the family ate the lunch prepared by Dong Shu, I don't know if the children knew that they could go out to play in the afternoon or if today's meal was really appetizing, and several children ate more than yesterday.

After the children left for a lunch break, Mrs. Xu put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the Jiang family who was sitting at the bottom and said, "Jiang, let me ask you, do you remember He?" ”

The Jiang family, who was sitting under Mrs. Xu, never thought that Mrs. Xu was going to ask her about this matter.

With a shake of her hand, a cup of warm tea was sprinkled on the back of her hand.

Seeing Jiang's reaction, Mrs. Xu immediately raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect that Jiang really knew.
