When the Xu family returned to Beijing, the first to receive the news were the Five Princes' Mansion and the Jiang family.

But with the arrival of the owner of the residence in the west of the Xu family, the nearby people also learned the news of the Xu family's return to Beijing.

When the Xu family first arrived in the capital, it was mid-afternoon, and in the early morning of the next day, the Xu family, who had worked all the way, was still resting, and the nearby people who had a good relationship before had already sent a post.

The post was sent, and it was naturally sent directly to Mrs. Xu. However, this time, Mrs. Xu did not open it directly, but asked the servant to call Dong Shu, and then asked Dong Shu to open the post.

"You look at these posts, and when you're done, I'll tell you what you're going to do."

After Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu and said this, she took a sip of the ginseng tea at hand, then looked at Xu Shiqiu, who was sitting next to Dong Shu, and said: "Let's rest first in the past two days, and wait for me to write a post and send it to Linggu Temple, if Master Xuanling is free, we will go to see him as soon as possible." ”

After Dong Shu heard this, she subconsciously looked away from the post in front of her, and glanced sideways at Xianggong who was sitting beside her.

Seeing Xianggong nodding, he continued to look down at the post in front of him.

Because what is written on the post is not in the vernacular, she has to understand it when she looks at it, so it is very slow.

When Dong Shu continued to look down at the post, Xu Shiqiu looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "I still have to see my sister and Yanzhu first, they have waited so long, and they all received news when we arrived in Beijing yesterday, it's not good not to see them." ”

"That's what you said, Yanzhu is okay, I haven't seen your sister for many years, and I think about it very much." Mrs. Xu thought of her daughter, who had not seen her for many years, and suddenly felt that there were too many things that needed to be arranged as soon as possible.

"In addition to meeting your sister and Yanzhu, I received so many posts today, and I always have to go to the two houses to walk around. After a few days, they will hold a banquet at home, invite them to be guests, and officially introduce the Dong family to them. ”

Dong Shu just finished reading the post in her hand, and before she could continue reading it, she heard Mrs. Xu mention her.

She looked at Mrs. Xu with her crescent moon eyes open, because she didn't pay attention to the conversation between her mother-in-law and Xianggong just now, so her expression was very dazed at the moment.

When Mrs. Xu saw Dong Shu showing such a look, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Just now I said that after some time, the family will hold a banquet to receive those who are good friends, and I will officially introduce you to them." ”

Dong Shu became nervous when Mrs. Xu spoke, and when Mrs. Xu's voice fell, she said nervously: "Mother, will it be too fast?" After saying this, Dong Shu swallowed the saliva in her mouth, and continued: "I think I'm afraid I'm not good enough, and I have to learn for a while." ”

"Lady." Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu was nervous, and after reaching out to hold her hand, he continued: "Lady, you don't need to be nervous, I will accompany you then." ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished saying this, Dong Shu was really appeased instantly.

She looked up at Xu Shiqiu, and the crescent moon eyes also smiled into two crooked crescents, "Xianggong, I will be very happy to have you with me." ”

Looking at such an easily satisfied little lady, Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but smile and said: "The lady is so smart, if you follow her mother these days, you will definitely be able to do it then." ”

Xu Shiqiu's words were still very effective for Dong Shu, and when he heard Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu nodded at him hurriedly.

Seeing that the Dong family was coaxed by her own son so easily, Mrs. Xu could only shake her head in her heart, and then looked at Dong Shu and said, "Don't be afraid, the people that my mother invited back at the beginning were all good friends with our Xu family." What's more, your sister will definitely be there then. With your sister here, those people don't dare to do anything. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I will try my best to learn from you, and I will not be ashamed." Dong Shu thought very simply, the first time she met these people, she didn't want to do a good job, as long as she didn't give it to her husband and didn't embarrass the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu was very satisfied with Dong Shu's answer, and her requirements for Dong Shu were not high, as long as Dong Shu was not ashamed.

Her identity is ordinary, and she didn't learn it since she was a child, so even if she doesn't do it well, it won't matter.

"Dong, my mother told you that there are three kinds of people in this world. The wise and the stupid, and there is also a kind of stupid person who thinks he is wise. Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu's eyes, spoke seriously, and saw that she listened to her words carefully, so she continued: "Mother to tell the truth, it is difficult for you to be a smart person, and your sister-in-law is a smart person." As for the stupid person who thinks he is smart, that's your second sister-in-law, don't you want to follow her. So it's better to be a stupid person directly, and leave things to Shi Qiu. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu and said seriously, she really thought that Dong Shu was good to be a stupid person.

After all, she is blessed, even if there is really something, there are blessings to protect her.

Dong Shu didn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Xu's words today, and she needed to wait until she understood slowly in the future to understand the deep meaning of Mrs. Xu's words today.

However, Dong Shu didn't understand, but Xu Shiqiu did.

After Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Shiqiu understood, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued: "I'll write a post later, and you can send someone to your sister and Yanzhu early tomorrow morning." Invite them to come over the day after tomorrow, and after asking your sister about the current situation in the capital, you will decide which people to invite to the house. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu's words fell, Xu Shiqiu understood what she meant.

The people who had been friends with the Xu family before have not been in contact for so many years, and there will definitely be a situation where the existing people are no longer willing to make friends with the Xu family.

In addition to this situation, there is another situation that some people continue to make friends with the Xu family on the surface, but in the past few years, they have secretly made friends with people who do not agree with the Xu family.

These things really need to be asked to Xu Nuanwen.

Just when Xu Shiqiu and Mrs. Xu were talking about this, Dong Shu finally finished reading all the posts that Mrs. Xu had just given her.

"Mother, I've read all these posts." Dong Shu said that after reading it, she actually understood the content of these posts, "Mother, although the content of these posts is different, the general meaning is not to invite you to come over as a guest, or to ask when you can come to visit." ”

"Yes, you're doing a great job." After Mrs. Xu praised Dong Shu, she said: "Although these posts are sent by different people, the general meaning is these two." ”

After saying this, Mrs. Xu asked the servant to change the ginseng tea in her hand for a new cup, and then looked at Dong Shu and continued: "But there is no need to reply today, because when these people sent the post today, they all inquired from the servant." The servant has already replied that we still need a few days to clean up, so these posts can be replied to two days later.

You've seen these posts today, and now you're going to make two posts, one for your sister and one for Yanzhu. Send someone to their house early tomorrow morning and invite them to come to their house the day after tomorrow.

Your sister's post asked her to bring Brother Huan and a few of them along, and I haven't seen Brother Huan for years. ”

Speaking of Xu Nuanwen and her children, Mrs. Xu naturally thought of Xu Nuanwen's youngest son, Ye Xuan.

"Hey, when your sister was pregnant with Brother Xuan, there happened to be an accident at home. Brother Xuan was born only seven months old, and he has been frail and sickly since he was a child. I also left the capital at that time, and I haven't seen him yet. Thinking that her little grandson has been sick for so many years, and her daughter has been guarding him, Mrs. Xu felt very uncomfortable.

"Mother, my sister and little nephew will be fine. The little nephew was young before, but now that he is older, he will definitely be healthy. Dong Shu saw that Mrs. Xu looked sad, and subconsciously opened her mouth to comfort her.

After saying this, Dong Shu reacted and thought of what his father-in-law said to him before.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu with a little hesitation, opened her mouth, and finally spoke: "Xianggong, what I just said, will it become true?" ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his little lady to look at himself and ask such a thing, after a slight pause, he asked instead of answering: "What do you think of the lady?" ”

After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she was nervous for a while and didn't know how to speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, neither his father-in-law nor his mother-in-law had any intention of opening, so Dong Shu mustered up the courage to speak: "I think it will become true." My sister is so good, she has taken care of her little nephew for so many years, and her little nephew's body will definitely grow as long as possible. ”

seemed to be cheering himself up, and after saying this, Dong Shu didn't forget to nod.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu make such a move, and they only felt very cute.

But what made them happiest was what Dong Shu said just now.

Both of them have already believed that Dong Shu is blessed, and as long as she says such things seriously, things will definitely become as she said in the end.

Dong Shu saw that her mother-in-law and father-in-law were laughing, so she smiled embarrassedly.

"Mother, can I take these posts back? I'm afraid that I can't write well, and I want to go back and learn it carefully, and if I can't, I can ask my husband. Dong Shu saw that Mrs. Xu was tired, and hurriedly spoke.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu also noticed that his mother looked tired, "Mother, Yuan Xi is still in Shihuan Courtyard, let's go back today, and when the lady writes a post in the afternoon, we will come to you to eat with you in the evening." ”

"Okay, you go back and rest." Mrs. Xu was indeed tired and wanted to sleep for a while, she didn't force Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu to stay, thinking that her little granddaughter was still in Shihuan Courtyard, she opened her mouth and advised: "When you come at night, remember to bring Yuan Xi, I miss her." ”

Hearing Mrs. Xu's words, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu immediately nodded again and again.

Xu Shiqiu took Dong Shu by the hand, Dong Shu took the post he just read, and followed Xu Shiqiu to Shihuan Courtyard.

The houses in the capital are very similar to those in Xiahe Village, except that each courtyard is much larger, and there are also a few more gardens and places for servants to live.

Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu to the door of Shihuan Courtyard and saw the pomegranate tree in the courtyard.

The pomegranate trees already have small fruits, and there are more than 30 pomegranate trees in the courtyard. Not only is the front yard covered with pomegranate trees, but the backyard is also planted with a pomegranate tree.

The pomegranate tree in the backyard is the same as the pomegranate tree in Shihuanyuan in Xiahe Village, although there is only one pomegranate tree in the backyard, Dong Shu still prefers this pomegranate tree in the backyard.

Seeing this pomegranate tree, Dong Shu thought of the excitement when she saw this pomegranate tree when she first arrived here yesterday.

Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu had been staring at the pomegranate tree, so he hurriedly raised his eyebrows and spoke, "What?" Didn't the lady say yesterday that she liked this pomegranate tree very much? After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't wait for Dong Shu to open his mouth and continued directly: "If the lady doesn't like it, I'll dig out this tree." ”

"How could you not like it." As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she hurriedly spoke, and when she turned her head to see the teasing look on Xianggong's face, she immediately became angry and said, "Xianggong will tease me." Although this tree was not planted by Xianggong himself, when I see this tree, I will think of the pomegranate tree planted by Xianggong in Shihuanyuan in Xiahe Village. ”

After saying this, Dong Shu didn't want to look at Xu Shiqiu anymore, and after snorting coldly, she turned around and walked towards the house.

The Shihuan Courtyard in the capital is very large, and there are five main rooms in the backyard, as well as ear rooms, partial rooms and back seats.

However, when they arrived in the capital, there were many servants serving in Shi Huan's courtyard, and although the number of houses increased, as long as Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu continued to have children, this courtyard would soon be full.

As soon as Dong Shu walked to the door of the main room, Ling Xiang, who was cleaning in the house, walked out quickly, looked at Dong Shu and said, "Madam, just now Sister Cuihua sent someone to send a message, saying that she misses Madame very much, and I don't know when Madame will see her." ”

As soon as she heard Ling Xiang's words, Dong Shu remembered that she not only wanted to see her sister and Yanzhu, but also Cuihua.

Thinking of Cuihua, Dong Shu hurriedly walked to the study, ready to hurry up and write a post to her sister, so that she could see Cuihua earlier.
