lucky star girl

Chapter 144
When Xu Shiqiu came back in the evening, he was surprised to hear Dong Shu bluntly mentioning this matter.

He originally planned to arrange some guards to train recently and stay at home to protect his family, but who knows that just as he had this idea before it was implemented, the queen in the palace sent someone.

If it weren't for this matter, he only thought about it in his heart, maybe he would have guessed whether there was someone with a queen by his side.

But Xu Shiqiu thought it was good, it was easy for him to find a dozen men to train, but it was difficult to find a suitable woman.

Now there are these eight female secret guards, not only the little lady, but also after Yuanxi, they will be protected.

Because Xu Shiqiu thought clearly, apart from the initial surprise, he quickly recovered, looked at Dong Shu and said, "Lady, this is a good thing." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu seemed puzzled when he saw the little lady frowning slightly. , Can't help but deliberately said: "If you really let a man guard your wife to protect your wife, you can't rest assured as a husband. Now the empress has given eight female secret guards, which really suits my husband's mind."

When Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she immediately blushed.

Crescent Moon looked at Xu Shiqiu with watery eyes, and wanted to speak, but was stared at by his scorching gaze and didn't know how to speak.

We haven't seen each other for several days, but because Dong Shu went to bed early yesterday, although Xu Shiqiu wanted to do something, he didn't have the chance.

Now Xu Shiqiu stared at Dong Shu, seeing that the little lady didn't intend to go to bed early, immediately without waiting for her reaction, he picked her up by the waist and strode towards the bed.

Xu Shiqiu's movements were sudden, and Dong Shu was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was going to do.

Just struggling a little before she opened her mouth, she heard the husband who was holding her put his lips to her ear and whispered softly: "My lady, it's better not to move, so as not to alarm the secret guards, and let them see something that they shouldn't see." Yes." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't wait for Dong Shu to reply, he put her on the bed directly, and then leaned over to leave.

Dong Shu was frightened by Xu Shiqiu's words, for fear that she would attract secret guards by making too much noise.

But she didn't know that her appearance aroused Xu Shiqiu's great interest, and she didn't let her go until she saw that Dong Shu was exhausted and had no strength.

In this way, on the second morning after returning, Dong Shu still slept until noon before waking up.

Fortunately, Zhuangzi has a servant to pack up his things and prepare to return to Beijing. Dong Shu only needs to ask about it.

Originally they planned to live in Zhuangzi until the beginning of August before returning to Beijing, but now they have to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, the servants of Xu's family behaved well and did things neatly, and within a day and a half, they packed everything up.

Since Xu's family was going back to Beijing, it was difficult for Xu Yanzhu to continue to live in Zhuangzi for a long time.

Although the Zhuangzi next door belonged to her, the reason why Xu Yanzhu stayed before was to accompany Mrs. Xu. Now that Mrs. Xu returned to Beijing, she naturally wanted to return to Beijing.

Just when Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were discussing whether to keep Xu Yanzhu to stay at Jingzhong's house for a few days, the Jiang family sent news that the Jiang family's wife was ill again.

"Why is this Mrs. Jiang's sick again?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu puzzled, and seeing her pursed her lips, she said, "Why don't you see another doctor?"

When Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, she quickly shook her head and said, "Third Aunt, don't worry, the Jiang family has a medicine shop and many doctors. Even if this doesn't work now, the Jiang family will change their doctor from their own shop." After saying this, After suppressing the speculation in her heart, Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu again and continued, "I'll go back and have a look. If it's really necessary, I'll send a letter to Third Aunt."

Xu Yanzhu also knew that Dong Shu was kind, so she finally said such a sentence.

It's just that because of what she learned a few days ago, she now has some other guesses in her mind.

Since Xu Yanzhu said such a thing, Dong Shu couldn't say anything more, so she could only ask people to prepare some medicinal materials, and asked Wang Shi to go to Jiang's house with Xu Yanzhu.

Although Dong Shu is young, she is of the same generation as Mrs. Jiang, and now she is going to be granted the title of Township Lord. After returning to Beijing, she has to learn how to pay homage after receiving the decree from Madam Yan. Recently, she really has no time to visit Jiang's house. Mrs. Wangjiang.

As for Mrs. Xu, she is Mrs. Jiang's elder, and she is not very close to her family. Naturally, she will not visit someone she doesn't like.

But before leaving, Mrs. Xu called Mrs. Jiang to her face and gave him some serious advice.

Jiang shi was guilty of what happened a few days ago, but now, after listening to Mrs. Xu's explanation, she nodded in shock and refused to say anything, and promised to definitely look after her natal sister-in-law and not let her take advantage of her illness to make trouble Xu Yanzhu.

After getting Jiang's guarantee, Mrs. Xu nodded in satisfaction.

Because Xu Yanbo, Xu Yanmo, Xu Yanbo, and the Xu family's second bedroom family were all present, the team of the Xu family returning to Beijing this time was much larger than when they came to Zhuangzi before.

Many well-connected families in the capital also received the news that the Dong family of Xu's family was about to be named the township lord.

So when I returned to Beijing this time, there were a lot more people paying attention to the Xu family than before.

I went back to Beijing from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing in the morning, and I didn’t get home until noon. After tidying up for a long time in the afternoon, and tidying up for a long time the next day, the family settled down.

After the family settled down here, Nanny Yan sent a message to the palace, saying that Dong Shu would visit the palace to visit Queen Hu in two days.

This is what Empress Hu told Madam Yan when she sent someone to deliver the letter. After Dong Shu returned to Beijing and settled down, she would send someone to deliver a letter to her.

"Ma'am, according to the agreement with the empress, someone will come to the palace to announce the decree tomorrow morning. Today you will practice how to kneel down and receive the decree twice with the servant, and tomorrow there will be the crown of the township emperor. "Sister Yan didn't tell Dong Shu about these things before, but she just told her twice in the past two days.

When Dong Shu heard Yan Nanny's words, she immediately nodded and said, "Yan Nanny, what you say is right, I will listen carefully." Dong Shu also had some doubts in her heart. She still felt that it was unbelievable that she could be granted the title of Xiangjun with her status.

Sister Yan guessed what Dong Shu was thinking when she saw Dong Shu's expression, "Don't worry, madam, you did a good job before, and you will do better in the future."

With Mammy Yan's words, Dong Shu couldn't hesitate anymore, and immediately followed her to review it from beginning to end.

After practicing how to kneel and worship again, Nurse Yan explained to Dong Shu carefully: "Madam, the crown of the township monarch should be a three-died crown with pearls and emeralds, a large red shirt with deep green silk and gold embroidered peacocks. Zi, Jinxiu Lianwen Xiapei."

How could Dong Shu understand what Nanny Yan said, she only knew that these were clothes she couldn't wear before, and she would wear them every time she received an order or entered the palace or attended a palace banquet.

As for going to see the queen, as long as the queen doesn't say anything, they communicate in private, so they don't have to care about so many rules.

Dong Shu heard what Yan Nanny said, but she felt that she might not be able to live in peace in the future, but she couldn't refuse this matter.

Sister Yan guessed right, as soon as her news was delivered to the palace, Empress Hu sent a letter to Emperor Ruikang.

But Emperor Ruikang, at this time, looked at the opposite Master Xuanling with a puzzled expression on his face.

"She really deserves such a high title?"

Emperor Ruikang looked at Master Xuanling, and wanted to see a hint of a joke on his face, but no matter how long he looked at it, Master Xuanling always looked serious.

"This title is really suitable for her. The poor monk said before that she has a wonderful face. Now, is it possible that you still can't bear this title?"

Master Xuanling spoke casually, without any respect when facing the emperor.

However, after hearing his words, Emperor Ruikang was not angry yet.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Ruikang saw that Master Xuanling still had no intention of changing his words, so he sighed and said, "Come on, just give her this title." The imperial decree will be sent out of the palace tomorrow morning.

The Xu family didn't know that Emperor Ruikang sighed a few times because the palace wanted to give Dong Shu the title. They had already received the news that someone from the palace would come out to issue the decree tomorrow morning.

The incense table and other things to be used for receiving the decree will naturally be prepared today, and the servants of the Xu family even cleaned the house carefully twice.

In addition, everyone in the Xu family rested early today in order to receive the order tomorrow.

Thinking that the last time the Xu family received the decree was more than ten years ago, the old people were very excited. In their eyes, this was a proof that the Xu family had revived.

The master honors the servants, and only when the masters get better and better, can these servants go out more proudly than other servants.

Dong Shu also went to bed early tonight, worried that Xu Shiqiu would trouble her again, so she hugged Yuan Xi by her side.

Emperor Ruikang was afraid that there would be no males in the Xu family when Xu Shiqiu went to the military camp tomorrow to issue the decree, so he specially asked someone to deliver a letter to him, asking him to go to the military camp after receiving the decree tomorrow.

Early the next morning, amidst the anticipation or anxiety of the Xu family, the imperial decree arrived.

Dong Shu couldn't understand what was said in the imperial decree, and she roughly heard that she was praised, because she was awarded the title of 'Villager of the Country' because of her service to the queen.

The most important thing is that she heard her title clearly, "Why did the Holy Majesty give me the title of Fukang?" As soon as the person who issued the decree left, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with a puzzled expression.

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect that his little lady could use the word 'Kang'.

He can understand the word 'Fu', but not everyone can use the word 'Kang'.

Because now the emperor's year name is 'Ruikang'.

"I heard that the Holy Majesty invited Master Xuanling to enter the palace yesterday. If I guessed correctly, the lady's title may also have the meaning of Master Xuanling." Xu Shiqiu had Ye Jingxing secretly give him news, and he was also brief about the affairs in the palace. Know a thing or two.

What's more, Master Xuanling didn't cover up his traces of entering the palace yesterday, so it's not difficult to guess.

Dong Shu is fairly familiar with Master Xuanling. Because Master Xuanling liked to eat vegetarian snacks and tea prepared by herself, she often prepared them to be sent to Master Xuanling.

Because of this relationship, when Xu Shiqiu mentioned Master Xuanling, Dong Shu felt relieved and said, "If Master Xuanling agrees, maybe this title has other meanings."

Although Dong Shu's voice was not low, it was not very loud either. She seemed a little unsure but wanted to tell others what she meant.

When Xu Shiqiu looked at such a little lady, he only felt cute, but now that the imperial decree had taken her to go to the military camp, he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart, and save the time to make out with the little lady when he came back at night.

The whole Xu family was overjoyed because Dong Shu got the title of "Fukang", and other families in the capital who followed Xu's family also learned the news not long after.

In a mansion in the west of the city, after hearing that the title given to Dong Shu by the Holy Majesty was "Fukang", the man in brocade robe immediately angrily threw out the teacup in his hand.
