Chapter 68: Jade Pendant

Seeing Cuihua confidently finish saying this, Xu Shiqiu suddenly laughed, "I really didn't expect that Cuihua you are so smart, you have guessed this." After saying this to Cuihua, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and continued: "Now that you have learned about this, then you should think about it, and I will inform Yanzhu of this matter tomorrow, and then she will come to talk to you again." ”

"What about the third son?" Cuihua looked at Xu Shiqiu as soon as she finished saying this, suddenly reacted, looked at him and nodded, "Yes, I understand." After saying this, Cuihua directly withdrew from the main house.

After Cuihua left, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, what are you talking about with Cuihua?" ”

"Lady wants to know?" Xu Shiqiu asked Dong Shu without answering, and after she nodded, she lowered her head and kissed her on the lips and said: "Cuihua is smart, I guessed that I had other arrangements, but now I haven't determined whether she really followed Yanzhu to the capital, so I can't tell her yet." ”

"Then if Yanzhu really said yes to Cuihua, Xianggong, will you really let Cuihua go to the capital?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and asked this, and thought that Cuihua was going to leave her, and she was very reluctant.

"Xianggong, I'm a little reluctant to leave Cuihua."

"I understand your thoughts, it's just that Cuihua is capable, and the matter of going to the capital is very important, and I don't worry about disloyal people at all." Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu's voice fall and said this, and after seeing her nodding, he continued: "Besides, Cuihua and Yanzhu will go to the capital after autumn, we will wait for you to give birth next year and then prepare to go to the capital, and you will be able to see her soon." ”

"But if you count it, it's still a few months." Dong Shu immediately calculated the time in her mind after Xu Shiqiu's voice fell.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and chuckled before he spoke: "Soon, time flies quickly." ”

Dong Shu felt that her father-in-law was right, time really passed so fast.

Yesterday, it seemed that Xia Chu had just learned that Xu Yanzhu was going to the capital to get married, and she also told her husband that she was reluctant to go with Cuihua, and today they were going to start preparing to pack up for Xu Yanzhu and send her to the capital.

"Yanzhu, after you go to the capital, you must write to me." Dong Shu held Xu Yanzhu's hand, and her eyes were red as she spoke, as if she would cry out in the next moment, "Yanzhu, I can't bear you." ”

Seeing that the third aunt was about to cry, Xu Yanzhu hurriedly raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, and then looked at her and replied: "Third aunt, don't worry, after I arrive in the capital, I will write a letter back to you in half a month, okay?" ”

Xu Yanzhu didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

It seems that yesterday she discussed with her grandmother and third uncle what to do after going to the capital, and today the family began to pack up and prepare to send her to the capital.

Thinking of the letter her grandmother received two days ago, Xu Yanzhu sneered in her heart before she looked at Dong Shu and said, "Third aunt, I went to the capital this time and took away the cuihua you like, will you be unhappy?" ”

"It's a little unhappy." Dong Shu originally had a straight temperament, and this would be facing Xu Yanzhu again, so she didn't hide it at all and spoke directly.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Yanzhu was immediately stunned, and before she could speak again, she heard Dong Shu continue: "But I also know that Cuihua went to the capital this time to help you and Xianggong do business, and she also likes to go with you, I have Ling Xiang to serve me now, so I'm just unhappy, but I won't let her go." ”

"Third aunt, it is really a blessing for Cuihua to be able to serve a master like you." Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu and said such a sentence, but in her heart, she was thinking, 'It is also my blessing to have such a third aunt'.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Yanzhu was thinking, but after she heard Xu Yanzhu's words, she immediately smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm not as good as you say, your third uncle promised me that after I gave birth to a child, he would take me to the capital to play." Dong Shu said this, and the crescent moon eyes were also very beautiful, "I calculated, I will be able to go to the capital in late spring and early summer next year, and I will see you soon." ”

"Then I'll wait for the third aunt in the capital, you must come to see me." After Xu Yanzhu watched Dong Shu finish saying this, he got up and walked to the inner room, took out a brocade box from his box and sent it to Dong Shu, "Third aunt, the jade pendant in this brocade box was given to me by my grandfather when I was born, and now I will transfer it to your younger brother in the womb, I was at home when he was born, and the congratulatory gift was sent in advance." ”

Dong Shu listened to Xu Yanzhu's words, but suddenly thought of what Xianggong said to him last night.

"Your third uncle said last night that I was pregnant with a daughter, and you kept saying that it was a younger brother, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed." Dong Shu said this, and her face was also a little red.

Although she has a good relationship with Xu Yanzhu, Yanzhu is her junior after all, and she is a little embarrassed to talk to her junior about what she said with her husband lying on the bed at night.

As soon as Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, she immediately smiled and said: "If the third aunt gave birth to a younger sister, then this jade pendant is just right for the younger sister." As he spoke, Xu Yanzhu opened the brocade box, and a piece of red warm jade jade jade pendant came into view in such an instant.

One side of the jade pendant is a peony flower, and the other side is a Xu character.

"The peony is rich and complete, which is in line with my sister's identity." As Xu Yanzhu spoke, he also took out the jade pendant and put it in front of Dong Shu.

Dong Shu has also seen a lot of good things in the past few months, and when she looks at this jade pendant, she knows that it is good material.

She also understands the meaning of peony and knows that peony is not something that ordinary people can use.

"This jade pendant?"

"It is said that it is a royal thing of the previous dynasty, and I have always kept it, and I dare not wear it easily." Xu Yanzhu watched Dong Shu finish saying this, thought for a while and continued: "I only have this jade pendant that is the most precious, and nothing else can express my heart." Xu Yanzhu explained like this, but she was also afraid that Dong Shu would not be willing to accept this jade pendant.

Dong Shu didn't think about it so much, as soon as she heard that this was a thing of the royal family of the previous dynasty, she thought about taking it back and putting it away, and it would be easy not to take it out and wear it in the future.

Seeing the third aunt put away the jade pendant, Xu Yanzhu was relieved.

"Remember to send me a letter after the third aunt gave birth to her sister, and I will send some other things back then, this jade pendant, just let the third uncle know."

"Well, I'll put away the jade pendant when I get back later." After saying this, Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu and then whispered: "Yanzhu, I have learned a lot of words now, and I will write to you later." After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and repeated: "I wrote it myself." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for the third aunt to write to me." Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu, and as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu's voice sounded outside the door asking if it was convenient to come in.

"The third uncle came in." After Xu Yanzhu raised his voice and replied, he saw Xu Shiqiu walking in, so he asked, "Third uncle, have all the things in the shop been handled?" ”

"Well, I also handed over your shop to Third Brother Xu Jun, and he will arrange for Second Brother Xu Feng's family to study together for a period of time. Wait for Xu Zhen to learn, and in the future, I will only manage the shop and Zhuangzi for you. Xu Shiqiu also walked into the house as he spoke, and naturally sat down next to Dong Shu, then continued: "The third brother Xu Jun means that Xu Zhen and Xu Yi, the second son of his eldest brother's family, don't like to read, and they happen to be the same age, twelve years old, study with him for two years, and the cousins in the future will be enough for you." ”

"Then thank you to the third uncle for cutting his love." Xu Yanzhu watched Xu Shiqiu's words fall the moment he spoke, and after saying this, he thought for a while and continued: "Then Uncle Xu's third family returned to Beijing in one room, is there enough manpower here for the third uncle?" ”

"Fortunately, although they are going to the capital now, my affairs here are also quite good, not too busy." Xu Shiqiu watched Xu Yanzhu finish saying this, and then smiled at her before continuing: "Don't think so much, the third uncle is good here, but you can't do it without a helper in the capital." ”

Xu Yanzhu could hear the concern in Xu Shiqiu's words, looked at him and smiled, and saw that the third uncle had been looking at the third aunt, so he said jokingly: "Third aunt, you should go back with the third uncle, if you stay here with me any longer, the third uncle should be angry with me." ”

Dong Shu was originally sitting obediently on the side eating snacks, but when she heard Xu Yanzhu's words, she was immediately stunned, and after a while, she looked up at Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu a little blankly.

Seeing Dong Shu showing such a look, Xu Yanzhu hurriedly covered her mouth and smiled: "It is said that pregnant people will be a little stupid, but I look at the third aunt now and is really stupid." ”

As soon as Xu Yanzhu finished saying this, he found that the third uncle's gaze fell on him a little sharply.

"But the third aunt is blessed, in a few months, after giving birth to her sister, she will definitely recover soon." After quickly changing his words and saying this, Xu Yanzhu stopped talking.

Dong Shu didn't find out what happened between Xu Yanzhu and Xu Shiqiu, after hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu raised her hand and touched her bulging lower abdomen and said: "I don't know if I'm blessed, but I've been pregnant so far, I haven't felt uncomfortable, Dr. Du said that my fetus is good." ”

Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu's uncle and nephew both believed that Dong Shu was blessed, but thinking that she didn't believe that she was blessed, the uncle and nephew tacitly didn't mention it after a quick glance at each other.

"Then we'll go back first, and I'll send your third aunt to talk to you tomorrow." Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanzhu and said this, and without waiting for Xu Yanzhu to speak, he directly took Dong Shu's hand and wanted to pull her up.

After Dong Shu got up along Xu Shiqiu's hand, she carefully helped her lower abdomen and moved forward, and then took the brocade box, then looked at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Then Yanzhu, I will come to see you tomorrow." After saying this, Dong Shu moved her body carefully again and walked to Xu Shiqiu's side.

Xu Shiqiu had already found the brocade box in Dong Shu's hand, but he didn't ask much when he thought about the congratulatory gift that Xu Yanzhu promised to give to Dong Shu before, and when he returned to Shihuan Courtyard, he knew what was in the brocade box.

Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and before he could open his mouth to talk about this jade pendant, Ling Xiang suddenly broke in directly for the first time regardless of the report.
