Chapter 20: The Past

The moment Xu Shiqiu shook his head, Dong Shu had already grabbed Xu Yanzhu's wrist, looked at her and comforted: "Don't mind what your third uncle said just now." No matter how stupid Dong Shu is, she can hear that what Xu Shiqiu said just now is a little out of place.

How can anyone say so directly that the eldest girl 'wants to get married'.

Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, raised her hand and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, then she hooked the corners of her lips and looked at Dong Shu and replied: "Third aunt, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

After saying this, perhaps worried that the third aunt would not believe in herself, Xu Yanzhu thought for a while and continued: "Actually, I also understand that I am a girl's family, and it is not good to think about marrying all day long.

But every time my mother saw me, she sighed for a long time, saying that the Xu family had raised me for more than ten years, but it was useless.

He also said that I stayed at home and never married, and I would definitely delay my two younger brothers to say goodbye. ”

As Xu Yanzhu spoke, she suddenly felt aggrieved, because she had stayed by her grandmother's side since she was a child, and she was not close to her mother.

But she never thought that her own mother would say such disgusting words to her.

After saying this to the third aunt, Xu Yanzhu's eyes widened in surprise when she saw her, and she hurriedly comforted her and said, "Third aunt, don't be so surprised.

I...... I just see that the third uncle is so good to you, and I am envious. ”

After saying this, Xu Yanzhu saw that the third aunt seemed to be relieved, so she dared to continue: "Actually, I told my grandmother two years ago that I would be married to a non-human or my mother to use me for benefits. It's better to twist your hair and be a sister-in-law. ”

Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu as soon as she finished saying this, Dong Shu immediately looked at her and exclaimed, "Yanzhu, you can't have such an idea. But not that yet! ”

Because of Dong Shu's exclamation, Xu Shiqiu also came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at Xu Yanzhu standing beside the little lady and said, "My mother will definitely not agree to you being a sister-in-law." The girl of my Xu family is okay if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life, and it's not that she can't afford to raise her. ”

After Xu Shiqiu watched Xu Yanzhu finish saying this, he looked at Dong Shu and said, "Lady, let's eat first, and after breakfast, you and Yanzhu will talk slowly and in detail." ”

In Xu Shiqiu's heart, nothing is as important as his little lady's belly.

These days, the little lady eats well and sleeps well, and he looks taller.

It's only been half a month, so let's raise it for another half a month, and then let Dr. Du take a look, if the little lady is well recuperated, they can also have a child earlier.

Save and wait any longer, the little lady will wonder if she hugs her every night, why doesn't she have a little doll yet.

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's voice, she hurriedly pulled Xu Yanzhu to the round table together, and then said to her with a side face: "Yanzhu, don't think about it, there will definitely be a way."

When you have dinner, I will take you to the storeroom to have a look, and if you have something you like, you can take it directly. ”

Dong Shu has already smelled the aroma of rice, and these days she has been allowed to eat by her husband, and she can clearly feel that her food has increased.

But I don't know if it's her illusion, I always feel that the skirt that could cover her feet has become a little shorter now.

Xu Yanzhu didn't want to deliberately mention this matter in front of the third aunt, she really wanted to remind her grandmother and father through the third uncle and find a good family for her, but she definitely didn't mean to use the third aunt.

So as soon as she heard the words of the third aunt, she naturally followed forward obediently. When she walked to the round table, she raised her hand to open the food box she had brought and took out the spring cakes.

The spring cakes made in Mrs. Xu's small kitchen are particularly detailed, and the colors of the side dishes inside are very beautiful.

Dong Shuyuan is a lover of food, and when she saw such exquisite spring cakes, she naturally couldn't wait to pick up a wooden chopstick.

With Dong Shu here, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu's uncle and nephew also think that today's spring cakes are particularly delicious.

When the three of them finished breakfast and Dong Shu went to the convenience, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanzhu and suddenly said, "Yanzhu, have you ever complained?" ”

This will be because Dong Shu is not there, Xu Yanzhu is ten steps away from Xu Shiqiu, hearing the third uncle's words, she was first startled, and then shook her head seriously and said, "Why does the third uncle ask this?"

Yanzhu is the daughter of the Xu family, whether the Xu family is the general Xu Fu in the capital or the Xu family in Xiahe Village, Xu Yanzhu is only the eldest daughter of the second room of the Xu family. ”

Xu Yanzhu said this seriously, and after she finished saying this, she listened to Xu Shiqiu and then asked: "Nine years ago, when the Xu family was not driven out of the capital, you were one of the princesses selected by the crown princess for the grandson. You really don't complain about this? ”

Listening to the third uncle's unrelenting question, and mentioning such a past, Xu Yanzhu suddenly looked at him angrily and said, "Third uncle, how can you think about Yanzhu so much!"

Yan Zhu just said that Yan Zhu is the daughter of the Xu family, no matter what the Xu family is, Yan Zhu is just the daughter of the Xu family! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yanzhu looked at Xu Shiqiu with tears in her eyes because of her grievances and continued: "Third uncle, I was brought up by my grandmother before I was a month old.

Until the age of nine, Yanzhu's upbringing was how to be a good woman in the palace and how to be a royal daughter-in-law.

But since the accident in the Xu family nine years ago, Yanzhu understands that the reason why Yanzhu can be valued by the crown princess is because his grandfather is a general of Zhenguo who holds military power.

From that day on, Yanzhu told herself that because I was the daughter of the Xu family, no matter the honor or disgrace, I was just the daughter of the Xu family!

Whatever! ”

In the end, no matter how aggrieved she was, Xu Yanzhu didn't let the tears fall from her eyes.

She will always remember what her grandfather said nine years ago when he was still alive.

'The tears of my daughter are the most precious. My daughter of the Xu family would rather be a small wife than a concubine. The status of my Xu family is won by men, not by the body of my daughter's family! ’

Thinking of this, Xu Yanzhu tried hard to hook a trace of arc at the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said seriously: "Third uncle, are you satisfied with Yanzhu's answer?" ”

Xu Shiqiu sat calmly on the top when Xu Yanzhu spoke, until he heard her last words, he nodded unhurriedly: "Very satisfied!" This is what my Xu family's daughter should look like. ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu stared at Xu Yanzhu's eyes and said seriously: "Yanzhu, you remember, my Xu family is a general." Even if he is driven out of the capital now, he can't learn from those corrupt Confucianism! ”

Xu Shiqiu has always been a little unaccustomed to his second sister-in-law, who is obviously a businessman, but he wants to learn from those corrupt Confucian styles.

But for the sake of the little lady liking this big niece, he didn't mind helping her.

After hearing the third uncle mention the word 'rotten Confucian', Xu Yanzhu understood why he asked himself again and again just now.

Seeing that the third uncle Xu Yanzhu just wanted to continue to speak, Dong Shu, who had just gone to the convenience, came back at this time.

Although Dong Shu is not as smart and sensitive as Xu Yanzhu, as soon as she entered the main room, she still noticed that something was wrong.

Dong Shu glanced at Xu Yanzhu, whose eyes were still glowing with water, and immediately strode towards her and said with concern: "Yanzhu, what's wrong with you?" After saying this, Dong Shu asked in a slightly nervous whisper, "Could it be that your third uncle scolded you just now?" ”

Seeing the third aunt so cautious, Xu Yanzhu didn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and then glanced at the third uncle a little teasingly, and then whispered back to the third aunt: "Third aunt, I'm fine, I just remembered some past events at home with the third uncle just now." ”

After saying this, Xu Yanzhu deliberately raised her voice again, looked at Dong Shu and continued: "Third aunt, the third uncle hasn't told you about the past at home?" ”

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu immediately remembered this.

Xu Shiqiu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, whether it was the little lady's whisper to the eldest niece just now or Xu Yanzhu's deliberate soft answer later, he heard it clearly.

But it wasn't until I heard the eldest niece talking to the little lady about the 'past at home' that she hurriedly interrupted: "I will tell the lady about this slowly." ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said with a smile: "Lady, aren't you going to take Yanzhu to the treasury to have a look?" It's not early, you take Yanzhu to see it first, and when the kitchen sends the ingredients, you have to cook in a hurry. ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words to divert Dong Shu's attention came out, Dong Shu was really attracted to it instantly.

She thought of leaving Xu Yanzhu for dinner at noon today, so she hurriedly grabbed Xu Yanzhu's wrist and said, "Yanzhu, your third uncle said that I can dispose of the things in his warehouse at will." You know, I don't know any of this, so you can go with me and teach me by the way. ”

Xu Yanzhu also knew that she couldn't continue to provoke the third uncle, and seeing that the third aunt's interest was so high, she immediately responded: "Okay, it just so happens that I will open my eyes today and see what the third uncle has here." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu obediently followed Dong Shu out.

When Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu left, Xu Shiqiu walked to the study, grinded and lifted the pen, and wrote a letter to his second brother.

Xu Shiqiu never thought of saying anything to his second sister-in-law, even if the second brother is now doing business with his second sister-in-law's mother's family, but he is a man after all.

The man of the Xu family should hold up a piece of heaven for his daughter's family!

Xu Yanzhu didn't know that her third uncle wrote a letter to her father so quickly, and after she followed her third aunt to the backyard side room, she was attracted by the various treasures here.

Xu Yanzhu always knew that there were many treasures in the third uncle's hands, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

But she was only shocked, but not jealous, looking at these, she quickly picked out the simple information she knew about the origin and told the third aunt.

In the end, Xu Yanzhu will also tell Dong Shu what these things can be kept for.

Where did Dong Shu learn this, even Xu Shiqiu only knew about receiving gifts and returning gifts, and he never considered it.

For an hour and a half this morning, Dong Shu followed Xu Yanzhu to study in the warehouse.

It wasn't until they heard Xu Shiqiu standing outside the house calling the two of them that the two of them came out of the warehouse.

When Xu Yanzhu followed Dong Shu out, he was still holding two elegantly colored cloud silk in his hands.

Seeing that the third uncle was standing at the door, Xu Yanzhu hurriedly looked at him and said, "These two cloud and mist silks, the third aunt said to give me a yarn shirt to wear in the summer." ”

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu shook his head indifferently.

It's just two pieces of clothing, and he originally said that he would give it to his eldest niece, so he would naturally not be reluctant.

"Now the colors of the clothes here are mostly cyan and plain, and you young girls still look good in fresh colors.

Wait for your aunt to send clothes next time, I'm afraid that there will be fresh colors to deliver, and you will choose them then. ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's generous words came out, Xu Yanzhu immediately said to him: "Then Yanzhu will thank you to the third uncle." ”

Xu Yanzhu naturally would not refuse the third uncle, if she didn't take these, the third uncle would be unhappy.

After all, she still has to teach the third aunt, she is the junior of the third aunt, and it is not good for the third aunt to worship her as a teacher, but the third uncle can use some fabric to 'bribe' her to accompany the third aunt to play. ’

Dong Shu didn't understand the meaning of these two sentences between her father-in-law and her eldest niece, and after she walked out of the warehouse, she was about to go to the small kitchen.

There is a guest at home today, and she naturally wants to show her hand.

Looking at the little lady's movements, Xu Shiqiu immediately gave the eldest niece a look, and then quickly followed the little lady's pace and said, "Lady, I'll help you." ”

Xu Yanzhu originally wanted to help, but when she saw the third uncle's eyes, she immediately said to the third aunt's back: "Third aunt, then I'll take a stroll in Shihuan Courtyard, and I won't help you." ”

Dong Shu didn't know that her father-in-law gave her eldest niece a look and asked her not to follow, after hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, she naturally answered: "Yanzhu, you are a guest, so naturally you don't need to help."

You go shopping by yourself first, the third aunt moves quickly, and she will be able to cook the meal in a while. As he spoke, Dong Shu also walked into the small kitchen, ready to cook.

Xu Yanzhu looked at the back of the third uncle who quickly followed the third aunt into the kitchen, in addition to a smile of envy at the corner of his mouth, a figure suddenly appeared in his heart.
