The grievances and grievances in the palace will not affect the Xu family outside the palace for the time being, especially under the deliberate cover and maintenance of a few people, the Xu family is extremely stable these days.

In addition to accepting the invitation of the wives of the two heads of the family to attend the banquet held by their family, Dong Shu has been accompanying Yuan Xi at home.

Yuan Xi grew up slowly and became more and more fun, and Dong Shu had to tease her for a while every day before she did anything else.

On this day, Dong Shu teased Yuan Xi for a while as usual, after she fell asleep tiredly, she was just about to go to see the account book, but the servant woman Li next to Mrs. Xu suddenly came to Shihuan Courtyard.

The Li family had taken care of Dong Shu for a period of time when she was pregnant, so after returning to Beijing, as long as Mrs. Xu wanted to say something to Dong Shu that she didn't want others to know, she would send the Li family over.

Now as soon as she sees the Li family, Dong Shu knows that her mother-in-law has something to tell her that she doesn't want outsiders to know.

After she waved her hand to let Ling Xiang lead Hexiang and Lixiang to retreat, she looked at Li Shi and said, "But my mother has something to explain to me?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, just now the Jiang family sent a message that Mrs. Jiang is seriously ill, and I am afraid that she will not have a long life."

As soon as Li said what Mrs. Xu wanted her to convey, Dong Shu's eyes widened in surprise.

She knew that Mrs. Jiang had been sick recently, but didn't she say before that she was just a little unhappy? Why did it come out that she was about to die?

Dong Shu thought for a moment, and before she could figure it out, Li continued: "Mrs. Jiang said that Aunt Jiang still has no children under her knees, and the eldest girl in our family has been married for almost a year and has no body, so she wants the two maids in the family to open their faces and be Aunt Jiang's roommates. He also said that as long as they can get pregnant, they will be raised as aunts. ”

"I know, you go back first, I'll clean up here and go to the main courtyard to see my mother." Dong Shu frowned, thinking about what Yanzhu said to herself before, and couldn't help but worry.

Yanzhu has not yet had a relationship with Jiang Han, so let alone almost a year, even three years, she can't have children.

It's just that she really can't do anything about it.

Li Shi heard Dong Shu's answer, nodded, and after answering, he went back to the main courtyard first.

After the Li family left, Dong Shu ordered Lixiang to stay and stare at the kitchen to make Yuan Xi's egg yolk paste and Yuan Xi's nurse to feed her, while she herself took Ling Xiang and He Xiang to the main courtyard.

When Dong Shu arrived at the main courtyard, she saw Mrs. Xu standing in the main courtyard to enjoy the flowers, and saw that her mother-in-law still had leisure to enjoy the flowers, Dong Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Raising his hand to ask Ling Xiang and Hexiang to stop and not continue to move forward, Dong Shu took a few steps forward.

"Mother, you asked the Li family to find me, the matter of Yanzhu ......"

"There's no urgency." Before Dong Shu's words were finished, Old Lady Xu suddenly interrupted her words, and seeing that she was puzzled, she continued: "Do you know who sent today's news?" ”

Dong Shu didn't understand why Mrs. Xu said this, but she reacted after hesitating for a moment, if Xu Yanzhu had sent this news today, her mother-in-law would definitely not have asked such a question.

Therefore, she boldly guessed: "Could it be that Jiang Han sent it?" ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "Yes, it was sent by Jiang Han." ”

Almost at the moment when Mrs. Xu's words fell, Dong Shu's eyes widened in surprise, she really didn't expect that this news would be sent by Jiang Han.

"Mother, didn't Yanzhu send the letter back?" As soon as she finished saying this, Dong Shu didn't wait for Mrs. Xu to answer, so she continued: "Mother, why don't I go to Jiang's house to have a look?" ”

Dong Shu is really worried about Xu Yanzhu, since she married into the Xu family, Xu Yanzhu has been with her.

When she was most ignorant, Xu Yanzhu had been teaching her all kinds of things, and now that Xu Yanzhu might have an accident, she was naturally in a hurry.

Old Lady Xu did not directly refuse after hearing Dong Shu's words, she looked at Dong Shu and saw that the eagerness in her eyes did not seem to be false, so she continued: "Mother knows that you have a good relationship with Yanzhu, but do you understand what identity you should use after going to Jiang's house?" What kind of attitude should I take to talk to Mrs. Jiang? ”

"Huh?" Dong Shu didn't understand what Mrs. Xu meant at first, and it wasn't until she kept staring at herself that she realized what her mother-in-law meant.

"Mother, I am Yanzhu's elder, and Mrs. Jiang is also the same generation. What's more, I am still the township king of the Holy Lord. ”

Seeing that Dong Shu reacted quickly, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and promised to let her go to Jiang's house to have a look.

Dong Shu got the consent of Mrs. Xu, so she hurried back to pack up the medicinal materials, and at the same time did not forget to send someone to send a post to the Jiang family.

In order to support Xu Yanzhu, Dong Shu specially asked Mama Yan to send the post.

Mama Yan is a grandmother from Fengyi Palace, that is, the Jiang family is just a merchant, but she also knows this clearly.

With Mama Yan going to deliver the post, the Jiang family naturally wouldn't stop Dong Shu from seeing Xu Yanzhu, not only did they not dare to stop it, but the Jiang family even opened the door the next day, waiting for Dong Shu to go.

Dong Shu changed into the crown dress of the townsman early the next morning, and went to the Jiang family with a full posture.

And the Jiang family's rumoredly seriously ill Mrs. Jiang could only wait for Dong Shu's arrival in the house, she was really unable to get out of bed.

After Dong Shu entered the Jiang family, she saw Xu Yanzhu waiting at the second gate, and saw her Dong Shu was just about to speak, but the next moment she saw a servant woman who was following Xu Yanzhu.

That is, when Dong Shu fell on this servant woman, the servant woman also respectfully saluted Dong Shu and said: "Servant to see Fukang Xiangjun, Mrs. really couldn't get up this morning, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

After Mama Yan's guidance and Xu Shiqiu's teaching last night, Dong Shu only nodded slightly after hearing the words of the servant.

When the servant woman saw that Dong Shu ignored her and was in distress, Xu Yanzhu hurriedly walked two steps, came to Dong Shu's side, stretched out her hand to support her arm and said, "Third aunt, mother-in-law really can't get up, don't blame her." As she spoke, Xu Yanzhu could still feel the arm in her hand trembling slightly.

With Xu Yanzhu opening her mouth, Dong Shu's face brought a little smile, "Well, since you opened your mouth to intercede, then I naturally won't blame her." ”

When Xu Yanzhu heard the words of the third aunt, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she could only endure it.

She really didn't expect that her third aunt would have such a side, pretending to be really like that, but if the arm she was holding would not tremble, I was afraid it would be more real.

Xu Yanzhu could see that Dong Shu was pretending, naturally because he understood her, but the Jiang family didn't understand Dong Shu.

As soon as the servant woman saw the young lady speak, Dong Shu replied to her words, and naturally raised Xu Yanzhu's status a little higher in her heart.

Although the father and younger brother of the young lady of his own family have no prospects, the uncle and the third uncle are both officials, especially the third aunt who heard that she has a good relationship with the young lady, and she is the holy lord and the queen's favorite countryman.

The servant woman did not show it on her face, but she thought in her heart that she would persuade her wife after they were gone.

Dong Shu didn't know what this servant woman was thinking, she came here today under the banner of visiting the sick, so naturally she couldn't help but see Mrs. Jiang.

Before Dong Shu walked into Mrs. Jiang's room, she smelled the strong smell of medicine, she glanced at Xu Yanzhu sideways, and after seeing Xu Yanzhu nodding slightly, she realized that this Mrs. Jiang was really sick.

After understanding this, Dong Shu immediately decided to follow the way she had discussed with her husband last night.

After Dong Shu walked into Mrs. Jiang's room, she saw that Mrs. Jiang had already changed into a dress for a foreigner and leaned on the side of the bed.

Seeing Dong Shu walk in, she was just about to get up and salute, but Dong Shu had already taken a step forward and said, "Mrs. Jiang doesn't need to be polite. You are Yanzhu's mother-in-law, can I call you 'in-laws'? ”

Dong Shu's meaning is very clear, because you are my mother-in-law, so I am willing to give you face, regardless of grade, only with your in-laws.

When Mrs. Jiang heard Dong Shu's words, how could she refuse, so she naturally nodded her head.

After she spoke, Dong Shu put on a face of elder love, looked at Xu Yanzhu with a sideways face and said: "My Yanzhu married to the Jiang family for a year, and my in-laws have been sick several times. This child is kind-hearted, when I was not married to the Xu family before, her grandmother was unwell, and she personally served her. Her grandmother said that Yanzhu was always a filial child. Now that she is serving her in-laws, although our family is not worried, we can learn that when I came to visit my in-laws today, her grandmother and third uncle told me that I must reprimand Yanzhu a few more words. ”

After saying this to Mrs. Jiang, no matter what look on her face, Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu and said: "Yanzhu, your grandmother and third uncle said that although you grew up beside your grandmother and were raised by your grandmother, you must not hold your own identity, and when you should be filial to your mother-in-law, you must not retreat." ”

Dong Shu watched Xu Yanzhu just finish saying this, Xu Yanzhu immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Yes, Yanzhu remembers the teachings of her grandmother and third uncle." ”

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "I believe in you, just seeing that your aunt was also raised by your grandmother, I know that you must also be a good person." ”

Xu Yanzhu watched her third aunt put on the posture of an elder, and helped her support herself in a roundabout way, and almost couldn't help laughing.

With the words of the third aunt, presumably the mother-in-law can no longer rely on her identity as an elder to deal with him.

Like her aunt, she was raised by her grandmother, and if her mother-in-law said that she was ignorant and had to set rules for her, it would mean that her grandmother would not raise children.

But the aunt raised by her grandmother was the Fifth Imperial Princess, who was praised by the Holy Lord, the Empress and Concubine De.

Xu Yanzhu can understand this, and Mrs. Jiang naturally understands it better.

She really didn't expect that as soon as she revealed that she wanted to choose two rooms for Jiang Han, the Xu family came to the door.

It's just that there is still such a young person, but he is the same generation as her, and even has a grade.

In this way, her plan naturally cannot continue, and the Fukang townsman in front of her just now has already made it very clear that after Xu Yanzhu married into the Jiang family, she was sick several times.

She is sick, and her daughter-in-law is too late to serve her, where does she have the heart to take care of her father-in-law, let alone give birth to a child.

Mrs. Jiang only felt that her chest was not smooth, and she wanted to get angry but couldn't do it at all.

Dong Shu didn't care what Mrs. Jiang's reaction was, after saying her family's words last night, Dong Shu looked at Mrs. Jiang and said: "There is something I have to explain clearly to my in-laws, and there will be a banquet at home in a few days, and then I will have to Yanzhu to help me with the banquet." When the time comes, don't let your in-laws go. ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words came out, the last road of the Jiang family was completely blocked.

Originally, Mrs. Jiang planned to wait for Dong Shu to leave and torture Xu Yanzhu.

She doesn't beat or scold her, and there are many ways to toss Xu Yanzhu, but on the contrary, Dong Shu's speech is clear, and in a few days, she will have a banquet at home and ask Xu Yanzhu to help.

Xu Yanzhu also understood what the third aunt meant, and seeing her mother-in-law's ugly face, she immediately quietly pulled the third aunt's sleeve.

Dong Shu noticed Xu Yanzhu's movements, hurriedly reacted, looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "In-laws, I see that your face is not good, then I won't bother, you better rest more." After saying this, Dong Shu didn't wait for Mrs. Jiang to answer, so she said directly to Xu Yanzhu: "Yanzhu, it's the first time I've come to Jiang's house, you take me around." ”

Dong Shu's identity is placed here, and there is a grade of a countryman, although it is not high, but in the merchant Jiang family, it is enough.

When Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, she hesitated, and saluted directly to Mrs. Jiang: "The mother-in-law is resting, and the daughter-in-law is taking the third aunt around." ”

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but let Xu Yanzhu leave, so she could only raise her hand and let Xu Yanzhu lead Dong Shu away.

Not only that, when Dong Shu left, she had to salute the townshipman, even if she was still lying on the bed.
