lucky star girl

Chapter 155
After Xu Shiqiu learned of their plan, he was not surprised.

He was suddenly arranged here by Emperor Ruikang. Although his father was once a first-rank general of the town, his father had passed away many years after all.

Now that he came here suddenly, and he came here with a high official position, these people naturally didn't like him.

Those with the same official position as him back then, although they were about the same age as him, they all joined the army in their teens and stayed in the barracks for more than ten years before they climbed to their current position.

More colleagues are older than him, because they don't have so many connections, and they may be old, that is, four or five ranks, or even six or seven ranks of military officers.

But Xu Shiqiu was different.

He is actually not young, but in this military camp, he is actually still young, not to mention that he has been promoted two ranks in just a few months.

It's really normal to be hated.

"General, do you want to teach them a lesson?" Zhang Ping looked at Xu Shiqiu. Although Ye Shuo helped him find out the news, Ye Shuo's surname was Ye after all, and he really couldn't get involved in some things.

When Xu Shiqiu heard Zhang Ping's words, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he chuckled and said, "This is not a hurry. I will have a banquet at home tomorrow. Let's focus on family matters first. As for them, I have other arrangements."

Since Xu Shiqiu said that the matter was not in a hurry, Zhang Ping naturally couldn't say anything more.

If Xu Shiqiu doesn't come tomorrow, the soldiers in the barracks will naturally have a day off.

Soldiers who are close to home will go home tonight, as long as they come back before the gate of the camp closes tomorrow night.

As for Lu Yuan's, they didn't go home, but they also made an appointment with colleagues who also didn't go home, and went to the capital early tomorrow morning.

Xu Shiqiu was very strict, even before he left, he did not forget to tell them that it was fine to go out to play, but he absolutely couldn't cause trouble, let alone bully the people with his current status.

Xu Shiqiu's soldiers were naturally obedient, and the most important thing was that Xu Shiqiu was straightforward, and bought a lot of pigs and sheep with his own money early this morning.

The soldiers who went home all brought home the pork and mutton they had been assigned. As for the concubine sons of the officials and eunuchs in the capital who disdain to bring home and the soldiers who did not go home from Lu Yuan, they naturally left the meat in the barracks , Have a good meal tomorrow and replenish oil and water.

Because Xu Shiqiu was forthright and generous to his soldiers, he bought meat out of his own pocket from time to time to refuel them, so even if the training was harder on weekdays, they didn't complain.

Of course, Ye Shuo was also worried about this matter at the beginning, worried that someone would use this matter to say that Xu Shiqiu bought people's hearts, but after learning that his third uncle had already told the emperor about this matter, he had to admire his third uncle for his foresight .

Ye Shuo naturally wants to go back with Xu Shiqiu for the Xu family banquet here.

He has been in the military camp for a few months now, and he has an official position on him, so it is naturally different from before.

What made Ye Shuo most happy was that his father had already mentioned his marriage with Liu Fang'er to Liu Shangshu, but now that the eldest son is not engaged, he can't get ahead of his elder brother to get engaged first.

Although Liu Shangshu usually didn't care about his son's inner house affairs, but after the fifth prince hinted at himself, and even the Holy Majesty also hinted at himself, he still intervened in his son's inner house affairs.

Not to mention, Xu Nuanwen had found an opportunity long ago, and begged two nuns from the concubine De in the palace to teach Liu Fang'er in Liu's mansion.

With these two nuns from Defei Palace, even if Liu Ze is not at home now, Liu Fang'er's life in Liu's residence will be much easier.

Because of his marriage, and now that he has an official position, Ye Shuo admires his third uncle even more.

That's why when he learned that Zhang Ping wanted to investigate things this time, he would take the initiative to help him. This time, when Xu's family had a banquet, he followed him to Xu's house the evening before as Xu Shiqiu's personal soldier.

Dong Shu was very happy to see Ye Shuo.

"Shuo'er is growing so fast now. If I hadn't seen it today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized it in a few days." Dong Shu said with a smile on her lips, but her hands kept moving, waiting for Ye After Shuo bowed to her, she took Ye Shuo's arm and said, "Auntie specially cooks a big pot of meat. Didn't you say that you like the meat made by Auntie the most? Eat more today."

"Then I took it orally today, it's still my third aunt who loves me." Ye Shuo has a sweet mouth. Although he has lost a lot of weight after staying in the military camp, the advantage of sweet mouth has not changed.

Seeing Ye Shuo speak, Dong Shu was naturally happy, "It's enough for you to eat. It just so happens that your cousin is still awake. Hurry up and go to your grandmother's place, and you can play with her for a while." After saying this, Dong Shu said He took Ye Shuo's arm and walked towards the main courtyard.

As for Xu Shiqiu, he naturally stood aside with a smile, watching his little lady hurt her nephew.

Of course, the little lady ignored his affairs, and when the banquet was over tomorrow, he also had to settle the matter with the little lady.

Because of Ye Shuo being such a pistachio in the Xu family tonight, although it's not yet time for a banquet, the atmosphere has improved a lot.

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, the servants of the Xu family got up and got busy.

Today is the day of the Xu family's banquet, and it is also the day of the Xu family's first banquet after Xu Shiqiu became an official.

Although the people who came were all relatives, there was still some pomp and circumstance, not to mention that besides Xu Shiqiu's official status in the current Xu family, Dong Shu also had status.

Although this identity is just a "village lord" who is not conspicuous in the royal family.

Dong Shu also got up early in the morning to be busy. Although Xu Yanzhu helped her, she was very tired after all.

She needs to take care of the food for the family banquet, and she has to personally receive the guests when they come to the house.

Yuan Xi is still young, if a female guest of her generation comes to the door, naturally Xu Yanzhu will receive it, and if a male guest comes, it will be received by Ye Shuo.

"Old lady, your daughter-in-law is really filial." Mrs. Zhang sat with Mrs. Xu, seeing that Dong Shu was not impatient at all, after saying this enviously, she said : "You still know how to teach people. Now that your son is promising and your daughter-in-law is filial, it will be perfect to have a grandson in two years."

If she hadn't been close to others, Mrs. Zhang wouldn't have said such a thing.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu are indeed enviable now. Although Xu Shiqiu has no son so far, since Dong Shu can give birth to a daughter, then she can give birth.

Besides, women who have given birth to children know that it is not good for women to have children in succession. After the first lunar month and the first year of the first lunar month next year, they will be one year old, but they can take care of their bodies and have another one.

After Mrs. Xu heard Mrs. Zhang's words, she immediately smiled and said, "What do you envy me for? Your daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law are also good." After saying this, Mrs. Xu paused and continued Said: "As for whether the couple will have children in the future, I don't care about it. The daughters of our Xu family are more expensive than men."

Mrs. Xu's words are naturally to save face for her granddaughters, especially Xu Yanmo, the eldest son. Now that Xu Yanhao's marriage has been settled, Mrs. Ye is looking for a marriage for Xu Yanbo and her.

It is estimated that Mrs. Ye is also afraid that Emperor Ruikang will not be healthy, and he will have to observe filial piety for three years in the future.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of King Duan. If Emperor Ruikang dies, they will definitely have to guard her for 27 months.

It's just that it's hard to say it clearly, but Mrs. Ye didn't cover it up, and everyone familiar with it knew it.

Now that the marriage was mentioned, Mrs. Zhang mentioned the marriage between her family and Xu's family. According to her, the marriage might be scheduled at the end of the year.

"Since the two children are suitable, it should be married earlier."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I shouldn't have said these words, but this kid Yan Hao really likes to practice martial arts. If he wants to participate in the Wenju, our Zhang family will return to you." Can help, but martial arts..."

In fact, Mrs. Zhang mentioned this once before. Although Mrs. Xu remembered it before, she didn't mention it when Xu Shiqiu was busy.

Now Mrs. Zhang mentioned it again, knowing that she also loves the younger generation, so Mrs. Xu said: "Yanhao is Shiqiu's nephew after all. If he really wants to, he will go to find Shiqiu himself. Is it possible?" Shi Qiu can use other people, but he dare not use his own nephew?"

With Mrs. Xu's words, the Zhang family was relieved.

They were really afraid that Xu Shiqiu would stop Xu Yanhao from making progress, but now it seems that they have a villainous heart.

After all, the people who followed Xu Shiqiu before were all granted official positions. Although their ranks were not high, they were not very old either.

Looking at Ye Shuo's current situation, the Zhang family also felt that if Xu Yanhao followed Xu Shiqiu, he would not suffer a loss. After all, Xu Yanhao was from the Xu family, and even had the blood of the Ye family.

After this matter was settled, the smiles on the faces of the Zhang family were a little more sincere than before, and Mrs. Xu didn't care about it.

They are all her juniors, so she naturally wouldn't look at her grandson with no way out.

As for asking the youngest son to help, he can help as much as he can, not to mention that Yan Hao is actually a good kid.

When people from the Xu family came to the Fifth Prince's residence, Mrs. Xu also talked to them affectionately. They were all in-laws, and the grandson's future Yue's family. Naturally, Mrs. Xu would not favor one person over another.

The Zhang family's upbringing is also good, and they didn't look down on the girls of the Xu family just because of their family status.

Although girls from the Zhang family and girls from the Xu family are sisters-in-law in the next room, both girls have been familiar with poetry and books since childhood, and they can talk together.

Originally, this banquet was also very lively, and it was a gathering of Xu family's relatives. It was a lively time, but the Hu family launched it today.

It stands to reason that the day of Hu's pregnancy has been several days past the day that the imperial doctor counted, and she shouldn't have come today, but after all, it was Xu Shiqiu's family banquet for promotion, and Hu also wanted to give the third aunt a good impression, and wanted her In front of Queen Hu, I would like to say a few words for the Hu family, so I still come today.

It's just that no one thought that she would give birth suddenly. Fortunately, Xu's house is not far from Dafang's house. Instead of going to find the midwife, it's better to take her home in a carriage. .

"This child must be a lucky one, but he was chosen to be born today."

As soon as Xu Chang's wife, Mei Shi, spoke, the atmosphere among the crowd improved a lot. After all, nowadays, it is unlucky for a woman to give birth, which is despised by many people.

"I think this child is also slow, and he was willing to be born after delaying for so long. Mother, after all, the granddaughter-in-law of Xu's parents gave birth to the child. You will become a great-grandmother."

As soon as Dong Shu opened her mouth, Mrs. Xu also had a smile on her face.

It's just that the banquet didn't last until the afternoon as planned. After lunch, the in-laws left one after another.

They still have to go home to prepare gifts. If the Hu family successfully gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Xu family, they will prepare gifts.

Dong Shu was also busy, so she naturally explained a lot of things to Xu Yanzhu for help.

Although Xu Yanzhu was tired, she was also very busy and happy. If the sister-in-law gave birth today, she would definitely be able to stay at home for two more days.

It's just that Xu Yanzhu at this time didn't know that because of her staying today, something that would change her life would happen.
