lucky star girl

Chapter 137
The pleasant time at Zhuangzi was temporarily interrupted by learning about Jiang's affairs. Everyone in the family knew about this, except Jiang's family, were worried for Xu Yanzhu, fearing that if she was involved in Jiang's affairs, something would happen to her .

Even Mrs. Jiang, two days after Mrs. Xu finished her questioning, she was not energetic. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would do something after she knew about it.

After waiting for two days, seeing that her mother-in-law's attitude towards him was still the same as before, Jiang gradually improved.

The old lady Xu didn't care about the Jiang family. Because of this, the old lady Xu asked Xu Shiqiu to send Jiang Han a letter that night, saying that she wanted Xu Yanzhu to stay with her in Zhuangzi for a few more days.

Jiang Han replied quickly, not only agreeing that Xu Yanzhu would continue to live in Zhuangzi, but also saying that he would come to pay Mrs. Xu a visit in a few days.

Seeing that Jiang Han didn't ask Xu Yanzhu to go back, the members of Xu's family also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yanzhu was touched by the concern of several elders in the family for her, and temporarily put this matter aside, and began to spend the summer at Zhuangzi seriously.

Even with a few younger ones, they went crazy on Zhuangzi, until they received the news from Ye Jingxing that he would come to Zhuangzi to greet Mrs. Xu after the next day.

As soon as they heard that the fifth prince's mansion was coming, the children immediately restrained themselves and stopped playing wildly like the previous two days.

In the middle of the afternoon the next day, Ye Jingxing finally brought a group of people to Zhuangzi to pick up Xu Nuanwen.Accompanying him was naturally one of his aides, Xu Chang's family who only had two daughters at home.

Xu Chang is ordinary in appearance, and his wife is a beautiful woman named Mei.

Two daughters, the older one is Xu Ting and the younger one is Xu Wan.Xu Ting looks like Xu Chang, and Xu Wan looks like Mei Shi.

However, the two daughters are very good-tempered, especially Xu Ting, perhaps because she is the eldest daughter, she is young but looks very stable.Not only has he read the book, but he also knows how to do business. Apart from his ordinary appearance, everything else is very good.

Seeing such a daughter-in-law, Jiang was very satisfied. She had a good idea in her heart, marrying a wife, marrying a virtuous, concubines and women.Now Xu Ting is not good-looking, but it is very good to be a wife for her eldest son. At worst, when the eldest grandson is born in the future, let her son charge two extra houses.

But Xu Shiqiu had a good talk with Xu Yanlang on the night the two families met.

"Although the Xu family is not visible now, the Xu family is more than enough to support you. Now that the two families have started discussing marriage, you should control yourself and don't cause any trouble." Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanlang after he finished speaking, and saw him He seemed a little puzzled, so he continued: "Although Xu's parents and daughter are ordinary in appearance, she can help you revitalize the family business. You are the eldest son of the second household, so you must keep in mind what you are going to do. If your mother arranges for you house……"

Xu Shiqiu's words have not been finished here, Xu Yanlang has recovered his senses and looked at him firmly and said: "I won't want it!" Shi Qiu said: "My sister told me that if Mrs. Xu is willing to be with me, she can't have other women. I promise my sister that as long as Mrs. Xu can give birth to a son, I will never accept the house."

"Okay!" Xu Shiqiu really didn't expect that Xu Yanlang, who looked at the not-so-intelligent Xu Yanlang, would be able to say such words.

Although Xu Yanzhu mentioned these things to him, if he didn't have the heart, no matter how much Xu Yanzhu mentioned, it would be useless.

Xu Yanlang didn't expect his third uncle to praise him, so he smiled at Xu Shiqiu embarrassedly, and then said: "Actually, I think Mrs. Xu looks good, after all, I'm not that handsome."

Xu Yanlang's voice was very low, but Xu Shiqiu still heard his words clearly.

Xu Shiqiu was satisfied with Xu Yanlang's performance today, and told him a few more words before letting him leave.

After Xu Yanlang left, Xu Shiqiu went to the courtyard where Xu Nuanwen's family lived, and met his brother-in-law Ye Jingxing.

"Shiqiu, you have worked hard these days."

What Ye Jingxing said was sincere, he didn't want to have too many women in his backyard, so if Xu Shiqiu didn't go to the military camp, then he would have no generals to support him.

The Zhang family is also taking the imperial examination route. As a civil servant, he has the support of his grandfather's family, but as a military officer, he has always been secretly helped by King Duan, but after all, their brothers are all King Duan's nephews, and King Duan will not Only help him.

The Xu family is different.

Xu's family is his wife's natal family, and Xu Shiqiu is his brother-in-law. He has soldiers in his hands and will only help himself.

That's why Ye Jingxing said that to Xu Shiqiu just now.

Xu Shiqiu also understood what brother-in-law meant, and after smiling at brother-in-law, he said, "Brother-in-law, I went to the military camp for our Xu family. Dad was a general at the beginning, but now there are no generals in the family. It's too embarrassing for dad." s face."

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused and continued: "What's more, I also have my own selfishness."

Ye Jingxing understood what Xu Shiqiu meant by 'selfishness'. He had heard about the matter between the Xu family and his third brother, so he had the opportunity to cheat his third brother twice a while ago.

"Family, don't talk about this." After Ye Jingxing looked at Xu Shiqiu and said such a sentence, he told him some things that Xu Shiqiu was not aware of in the current court.

After finishing speaking, Ye Jingxing looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Father's body is really not very good. I heard that he punished the Imperial Hospital two days ago." Ye Jingxing would never say these words to others of.

But Xu Shiqiu in front of him was not only his wife and brother, but also his helper, so he naturally wouldn't hide it.

When Xu Shiqiu heard Ye Jingxing's words, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty is keeping it secret, but a few days ago someone came to ask me how the new army's training was going."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Jingxing sighed and continued: "Sometimes I don't understand what my father thinks. Since the crown prince left, he has treated our brothers..."

Ye Jingxing didn't finish his sentence, but Xu Shiqiu already understood what he meant.

Emperor Ruikang has not revealed which son he will pass the throne to so far. He doesn't care about the battles among the sons, but if any son's power develops too much over the other sons, he will take action to suppress it.

Xu Shiqiu understood this point, and Ye Jingxing also understood it.

It was precisely because he understood this that Ye Jingxing slowly stopped after Xu Shiqiu entered the barracks, and did not develop as fast as he did in the first half of the year.

Because he stopped in time, Emperor Ruikang didn't have time to suppress his power, so all the power he developed in the first half of the year was preserved.

But it was precisely because of his development in the first half of the year that he attracted the attention of other brothers. These days, if the emperor's father was not in poor health, they would definitely do something to him.

Xu Shiqiu also understood these things. Although his literary talent was not as good as that of a serious scholar, he still understood the matters above the court.

After hearing what my brother-in-law said, I thought for a while and said directly: "Brother-in-law, the old man is getting older, so he naturally hopes that his sons and daughters will be filial. Now that you are not going to continue to develop your power, you might as well be a filial son with peace of mind."

As soon as Xu Shiqiu said this, Ye Jingxing gave him a serious look.

Just when Xu Shiqiu thought he had said something wrong, Ye Jingxing suddenly said, "Mr. Xu said the same thing."

Hearing Ye Jingxing's words, Xu Shiqiu understood that his brother-in-law had sensible people around him, and he would not go astray at such a critical moment.

The two of them spoke a few more words, and General Xu Shiqiu told Ye Jingxing the names of some middle and low-level generals who had been neutral until now, and Ye Jingxing would send someone to investigate after returning to Beijing.

If it is confirmed that these people are really neutral and worthy of wooing, Xu Shiqiu will help Ye Jingxing woo these people in the next time.

Of course, Xu Shiqiu's movements will not be obvious, after all, it is not appropriate to move too much now.

After discussing everything with Ye Jingxing, Xu Shiqiu returned to Shi Huan Courtyard.

When he came back, Dong Shu was about to fall asleep, seeing her little lady drowsy, Xu Shiqiu smiled, and told her what Xu Yanlang said tonight.

Although Dong Shu remembered it intermittently, she still did not forget to tell Xu Nuanwen about it the next day.

Today Xu Nuanwen was going to pack up her things and leave Zhuangzi. Taking advantage of the time, she specially came to accompany Mrs. Xu.

Unexpectedly, Dong Shu, a younger brother and sister, would tell herself the good news before she left.

"Yan Lang's child has finally made some progress." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen looked at the old lady Xu again and said, "Yan Lang married Xu's parents' daughter, and the next generation will definitely have an outstanding son."

The old lady Xu understood why Xu Nuanwen said that, and she also agreed with Xu Nuanwen's words, Xu's parents and daughters are indeed good, and she can rest assured that Xu's parents and daughters will be in the second room in the future.

However, after hearing Dong Shu's story, Mrs. Xu understood why Xu Shiqiu asked Xu Yanlang to talk about these things.

"I'll talk to Mrs. Jiang later, and tell her not to make trouble for the eldest daughter-in-law. If the second wife wants to get up, the housekeeping power can only be placed in Mrs. Xu's hands."

Mrs. Xu could see clearly that her second son and daughter-in-law were not very smart people. If the second room wanted to catch up with the eldest room and the third room, they had to let Mrs. Xu be the housekeeper.

Xu Nuanwen naturally agreed with Mrs. Xu's decision.

"Mother, I'm going back to Beijing after lunch. It's really inconvenient without me at home." Xu Nuanwen was able to leave the Fifth Prince's Mansion and come to Zhuangzi for so many days this time because Ye Jingxing spent two extra points. Mind at home.

But there are many things in the inner house that Ye Jingxing can't figure out with just two minutes of effort.

Xu Nuanwen has been out for so many days, and she must be busy for many days when she returns this time.

"Your family has something to do, and I won't keep you. The hottest days have passed, and the weather should cool down in ten or so days. We will also return to Beijing by then."

Although their family spent the summer at Zhuangzi, there were still posts from the capital.There are fewer days these days, but when the weather cools down in a few more days, they will definitely go back to Beijing and choose two of them to attend their banquet.

Otherwise, they have been back in Beijing for so long, and they only held one banquet, which is obviously not enough.

Xu Nuanwen understood what Old Madam Xu meant, she nodded in agreement, and said nothing more.

It's just that the whole family didn't expect that before noon, before Xu Nuanwen's family had time to leave, a carriage hurriedly came from the direction of the capital.
