lucky star girl

Chapter 127
Thinking of this in his heart, Xu Shiqiu restrained his expression in a timely manner, and then walked quickly into the room.

"What is the lady feeding Yuan Xi?" Xu Shiqiu walked up to Dong Shu as he spoke, and after seeing what was in the bowl Dong Shu was holding, he continued: "Yuan Xi Are you ready to eat these?"

"Well, it's been six months for Yuan Xi, and both Nanny and Nurse Yan said it's okay to eat, but you need to eat less, mainly breastfeeding." While talking, Dong Shu also fed the last bite of dough into Yuan Xi's mouth , and then continued: "Nurse told me today that Yuan Xi's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. I wonder if I can find a ewe. From now on, I can feed Yuan Xi some goat milk every day."

If it were someone else, they would be impatient to hear the lady say these things when they went home after a busy day.

But Xu Shiqiu was different from others.

Before he had no official position, he had been helping to take care of Yuan Xi, and he knew how much it took to take care of a child.

What's more, because he has been too busy recently, even if he goes home at night, he doesn't have much time to pay attention to what Yuan Xi ate.

So as soon as Dong Shu heard what Dong Shu said, he immediately said, "This matter is prepared by my husband." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu continued: "These days my husband is busy with the military camp, and I am a little negligent. , Tomorrow, I will definitely accompany Yuan Xi well."

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she let go of the matter. In her heart, her husband was omnipotent.

As for what he said to accompany Yuan Xi, Dong Shu didn't find it strange either. Xianggong also played with Yuan Xi before.

"I made wontons with my own hands, and I'll eat them with bone broth later." After saying this, Dong Shu didn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak, and continued: "For the banquet tomorrow, my husband has to get up earlier."

"Okay, don't worry, lady. My husband will definitely be able to get up tomorrow." Xu Shiqiu had something on his mind. After hearing Dong Shu's words, he responded directly, and then went down to change and wash.

Because Dong Shu made the wontons with her own hands, Xu Shiqiu didn't come back yesterday, so the couple went to the main courtyard to eat with Mrs. Xu tonight.

Dong Shu didn't notice that something was wrong with Xu Shiqiu, but Mrs. Xu did.

After the family finished dinner, before Xu Shiqiu asked to go back to Shihuan Courtyard, the old lady Xu said first, "Shiqiu, have you been in the military camp these days, and everything is going well?"

When Xu Shiqiu heard Old Madam Xu's words, he subconsciously wanted to answer 'everything is going well', but suddenly remembered what he had promised his wife.

Now that the lady is by his side, he naturally cannot tell lies.

And at the moment when Xu Shiqiu hesitated, Mrs. Xu already understood what he meant.

"Shiqiu, is something really wrong?"

Dong Shu heard the old lady Xu asked again, and finally realized something was wrong.

"Sanggong, could it be that something really happened to you in the barracks?" Dong Shu stared at Xu Shiqiu with crescent eyes, and seeing that Xu Shiqiu didn't refute, she continued: "Whatever you want to say, just say it, my mother and I don't agree. will hurt you."

Perhaps Dong Shu's words reached Xu Shiqiu's heart. After her words fell, Xu Shiqiu sighed and said, "Because I was directly parachuted into the barracks, even though my father's power is there, there are many people in the barracks." People don't accept me."

The old lady Xu had thought about what Xu Shiqiu said before, and although Dong Shu was not smart, she could figure it out with just a little thought.

Seeing that Dong Shu could figure it out, Xu Shiqiu continued, "But because I didn't divide up their soldiers, but directly recruited new soldiers, they didn't continue to target me except for the first two days. But this In the past few days, as I recruited more and more recruits, I also found that the rations and military uniforms of my soldiers were simply not enough."

The recruits had just been recruited into the barracks, and the number was uneven. Xu Shiqiu was not in a hurry to train, but the recruits always had rations and clothes to wear.

But every time Xu Shiqiu asked, the people in the warehouse would shirk it, not because they didn't give it, but because they really didn't.

At first Xu Shiqiu thought they were trying to embarrass him on purpose, but he didn't know until he actually got to the warehouse that some rations could be allocated, but there were really no military uniforms.

But the rations in the warehouse belonged to other soldiers, and the soldiers under him were not in the original plan, so the military salary allocated by the court at the beginning of the year naturally did not have their share.

Xu's family has silver, and he also has Zhuangzi in his hand, and he can take out some grain, but he can't take it.

Because the recruits he wanted to recruit were from the imperial court, not Xu Shiqiu's.

The old lady Xu understood what Xu Shiqiu meant when he opened his mouth, and Dong Shu also understood why after Xu Shiqiu explained.

"Couldn't Mr. Xiang inform the Holy Majesty about this? The recruiting of recruits is the Holy Majesty's intention. Even if there are no such people in the original military salary, since the Majesty speaks, the court should make arrangements."

Dong Shu didn't understand so much, she thought simply, because Emperor Ruikang asked her husband to do this, so if there is something to do now, she should naturally go to Emperor Ruikang.

When Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Shu's words, he shook his head and said, "But if I go to the Holy Majesty as soon as something happens, what will the Holy Majesty think of me? How will the other generals in the barracks think of me?" After saying this, Xu Shiqiu sighed and continued. : "In fact, I also wanted to go to the Holy One at first, but the Holy One can help me once, but he can't help me every time."

When the old lady Xu heard Xu Shiqiu's previous words, she wanted to persuade Xu Shiqiu a few words, for fear that he would become a person who only cares about face.

But after hearing Xu Shiqiu's last sentence, Mrs. Xu completely understood what he was thinking.

"Shiqiu, in fact, you can go to the Holy One once, and at least tell him the problems you are encountering now. It's just that you really need to solve things in the future, but you can also ask for help."

After all, Mrs. Xu had seen Xu Zhenbei lead the soldiers. Seeing Xu Shiqiu thinking deeply after hearing what she said, she continued: "'If you have soldiers in your hand, you will not lack money.' This sentence is still your father's. Tell me, think about it for yourself."

After saying this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but finally reminded: "You have to train recruits by yourself, and you have to think about these things. I think Shi Yuan is quite boring at home recently. The boys who needed to be taught before and Girls, now they are all literate and starting to work. You can ask him if he would like to be a money manager in your army."

Although Shi Yuan has fame and fame, after all, he is getting older, and he has no intention of continuing scientific research.

In this case, it's better to follow Xu Shiqiu to the barracks to manage the money and food. After all, he is his own, and he will follow Xu Shiqiu's heart so that Xu Shiqiu can concentrate on training recruits.

The old lady Xu only mentioned Shi Yuan, but Xu Shiqiu thought of other people.

"Brother Shuo wanted to join the army a long time ago, and my sister also told him to follow me, as well as his good friend, Liu Ze. After all, he is the grandson of the Shangshu family of Hubu. If he went to my place, Shangshu of Hubu would not He didn't say anything." After thinking about these two people, Xu Shiqiu thought of Zhang Ping, Ling Xiang's elder brother and Wang's eldest son in his yard.

"The eldest son of the Wang family, Zhang Ping, is also sixteen this year. You can also follow me to the military camp. The personal soldiers are very suitable for him." After all, Ye Shuo is not very old, and Liu Ze is far behind. The two had contacted so much from the beginning, so he had to bring a loyal person to be his own soldier first.

"There is also Xu Jie from your second uncle Xu's family. Now that he is in the capital, Xu Feng and Xu Jun are here. He doesn't have to stay at home all day, and he can follow you to the barracks." Seeing Xu Shiqiu, the old lady finally figured it out. Mention Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was different from Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping was a servant of the Xu family after all, but Xu Jie was Xu Shiqiu's elder brother based on the relationship between Xu Er and Xu Zhenbei.

With Xu Jie here, Xu Shiqiu also has an extra helper from his family.

Xu Shiqiu was awakened by Mrs. Xu's words, and he had more confidence in the next things in the barracks.

Dong Shu just sat aside and listened quietly, even if she didn't understand too clearly, she didn't ask aloud.

It wasn't until Mrs. Xu was tired and they returned to Shihuan Courtyard that Dong Shu asked, and then Xu Shiqiu patiently explained to her.

"Miss, my husband didn't climb up from the bottom of the small soldiers, and there are no members of our Xu family in the army, so now, as soon as my husband enters the barracks, he is a general of the fourth rank. It is very difficult. People's eyes also made some people who originally planned to train the children of the family unhappy."

Xu Shiqiu understood this, so when he first entered the military camp, he was prepared to be embarrassed.

It's just that he didn't expect that these people not only made things difficult for him in the end, but also made the recruits he recruited have no food to eat.

"My husband has been thinking about this for the past few days. Before, I also thought about whether to go to the Holy One, but later I also figured it out. The Holy One gave my husband a fourth-rank official position from the very beginning. on purpose."

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu's eyes widened in shock.

But when she thought about it carefully, she had to admit that what her husband said was right.

"Then what should I do?" Dong Shu knew in her heart that it was impossible for Xianggong not to give up this official position, so he could only face the difficulties.

Seeing Dong Shu's worried face, Xu Shiqiu felt a little bit reluctant, and felt that he shouldn't have given her the analysis.

My little lady should be carefree every day.

But Xu Shiqiu also knew in his heart that since he decided to return to Beijing, the little lady could no longer continue to be carefree.

It's all because of him, because of the Xu family, that's why the lady has to learn these things that she doesn't need to understand.

Whatever Xu Shiqiu was thinking in his heart, he said it instantly.

As soon as he said this, Dong Shu immediately shook her head and said, "Master, that's not the case." Dong Shu didn't want to see Xu Shiqiu who was so decadent, so she raised her hand to touch Xu Shiqiu, and after smoothing his frowning brows, this Then he continued: "I believe that my husband will definitely be able to solve these things."

After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and continued: "What's more, I'm really not tired of learning these things, and I'm willing."

Xu Shiqiu understood that the reason why the little lady was willing to learn these things was because she had him in her heart.

After bowing his head and kissing the young lady's lips, Xu Shiqiu said again: "But after talking to my mother a few words today, my husband has thought of some solutions. Don't worry, my wife, my husband will solve these problems."

Dong Shu firmly believed in Xu Shiqiu, seeing what he said, she believed that he could indeed do it.

However, Dong Shu was still thinking in her heart that she didn't know if she could help Xianggong. She didn't intend to ask others about this, but was going to ask Xu Nuanwen.

The next day was the Xu family's banquet, and because it was a holiday, Ye Jingxing also accompanied Xu Nuanwen to Xu's house.

After sending Xu Nuanwen to the backyard and meeting Mrs. Xu, Ye Jingxing took his three sons to the front yard to look for Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Nuanwen was the first to come, and after Ye Jingxing led the three sons away, she found that her mother, younger siblings were all looking at her with something to say.

"Mom, something happened at home?" After all, Xu Nuanwen was brought up by the old lady Xu, and because she was the only daughter in the family, she stayed behind Xu Zhenbei for a while since she was a child.

So she is not weak in mind, and with just one glance, she can see that Mrs. Xu and Dong Shu have something on their minds.

"I have something to tell my sister." Dong Shu answered directly when she saw Xu Nuanwen speak.

When Xu Nuanwen saw that Dong Shu was eager to speak, she immediately smiled and said, "Fortunately, I came early today, so tell me, what happened at home?"

Seeing that Xu Nuanwen didn't intend to ignore it, Dong Shu hurriedly told what Xu Shiqiu said last night.

"I understand what Xianggong means. He doesn't want me to tell others about it, but I think my sister is not an outsider, and I also want to ask my sister, if there is a good idea."

Dong Shu looked at Xu Nuanwen just finished saying this, and the old lady Xu answered, "You are familiar with the Holy Spirit's temperament, take a look, what does the Holy Spirit mean by this matter?"

After hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Nuanwen wondered what the Holy One meant in this matter.

After hearing her mother's words again, Xu Nuanwen knew, and her mother also guessed that this matter might have been ordered by the Holy Majesty.

"If I'm not wrong, it won't take long for the Holy Majesty to intervene in this matter, and maybe Prince Duan will take the initiative to find Shiqiu." After all, Xu Nuanwen has been married to the royal family for more than ten years, and she has been smart since she was a child.

As soon as she heard Dong Shu and Mrs. Xu's words, she guessed the real purpose behind this matter.

"When Shi Qiu encountered these things, it's actually not special. Many generals will encounter them after they are promoted, but Shi Qiu encounters more." Xu Nuanwen opened her mouth, and after she finished speaking, she paused He continued: "It's just that since the Holy Majesty wants to hand over the military power to Shi Qiu, he doesn't want Shi Qiu to obtain the military power so easily. The most important point is that he is still not sure whether Shi Qiu is as loyal to him as his father."

As soon as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Mrs. Xu understood.

Seeing that Dong Shu didn't understand, Xu Nuanwen continued: "After all, Shi Qiu stayed at home since he was a child, and then went to Xiahe Village to live for ten years. In ten years, although Dad was loyal to the Holy One, but Dad was still in love after all. It is because the Holy Majesty died."

When Xu Nuanwen mentioned this matter, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, if Ye Jingxing hadn't been really kind to her, she would have been able to make up with him when she learned of her father's accident.

"The Holy One wanted to use Shiqiu but was afraid that he would know something, so he prepared to give him some hardships. When Shiqiu couldn't hold on, he or Prince Duan would come forward and help him."

Xu Nuanwen spoke directly, and after she finished speaking, seeing Dong Shu's eyes widen in surprise, she hurriedly smiled and said, "So it's fine if Shi Qiu isn't going to take the initiative to find the Holy One, and it's okay to take the initiative to find the Holy One. Shi Qiu wants to get the Holy Majesty Don't worry, whether it is active or passive, you need to bow your head to the Holy One first."
