Chapter 206 Guess
Dong Lei looked at Dong Shu crying because of his own words, but seemed a little at a loss and didn't know how to comfort Dong Shu.

Just when Dong Lei was anxious to go out and find someone to help comfort Dong Shu, Dong Shu also calmed down her emotions, looked at Dong Lei and said, "Brother Lei, are you okay at home?"

"Okay, Miao'er gave birth to a son, and his husband's family is very happy. Both parents are in good health, and my younger brother has studied for several months now, and he has grown a lot." Dong Lei looked at Dong Shu, and told his family After talking about the situation, his face turned red, and he continued embarrassedly: "Also, my marriage has also been settled. She is the second daughter of a merchant in the county. It's just not high class."

As soon as Dong Shu heard that Dong Lei's marriage was settled, a happy smile appeared on her face, "Brother Lei is not young, it's time to make a marriage." After saying this, Dong Shu paused and continued: "You didn't write to me earlier to tell me about it, so I can prepare some congratulatory gifts for you. I will prepare in a hurry, and I don't know if it will be too late."

"No, no need." When Dong Lei heard that Dong Shu was going to prepare a congratulatory gift for himself, he already knew that his cousin's status had changed in recent months, and he hurriedly waved his hands: "Everything is prepared at home, and I know that it is not convenient for you to go back in the capital. When I go to Beijing again at the end of next year, just bring her to show you."

In the end, Dong Lei would choose a merchant woman to get married. The most important reason is that the merchant woman would not dislike his identity, and she would be able to help him in business in the future.

The most important point is that the girl has a good temper. He has been in contact with her twice, and she is a neat and quiet girl.Her family is not a troublesome one, he thinks such a family is the best, and he will not use the power of the Xu family to do anything in the future.

Although Dong Lei said so, Dong Shu insisted on preparing a congratulatory gift for him.

Dong Shu understands that no matter what happens at the end of the year, she will not be able to return to Xiahe Village to attend her cousin's wedding next year, so it is necessary to prepare a congratulatory gift.

Dong Shu was too persistent, and Dong Lei couldn't persuade him even after a few words of persuasion, so he had no choice but to give up.

Due to the busyness of this matter, Dong Shu's mood improved a lot in the next two days, and because she prepared a congratulatory gift for Dong Lei, Mrs. Xu also learned about Dong Lei's birthday the next afternoon. Things to get married later.

"You are not young, and you are the eldest son in the family. After you get married, your parents will be at ease." Mrs. Xu said such words because she knew the situation of the Dong family and knew that the Dong family was relying on With Dong Lei, if you want to change your family, you have to rely on Dong Lei.

Although the youngest son of the Dong family is still studying, Mrs. Xu knows that the child is not very clever, and he will be a scholar at most in the future, and it will be difficult to pass the exam.

If you can't pass the Juren examination, you can't be an official, so Dong Lei will be the one who can really support the family in the future.

What's more, Dong Lei has not become a merchant now, he is just a manager hired by the Xu family. When his son is born in the future, according to the temperament of her family's third daughter-in-law, he will definitely take care of him more.

With such a relationship, it only takes two generations for the Dong family to really change their families.

Dong Lei arrived too late last night, and this morning he met with other managers of the Xu family, and he didn't have time to visit Mrs. Xu until this meeting.

Because Dong Lei is Dong Shu's cousin, Mrs. Xu did not use the attitude of seeing a manager, but came to see Dong Lei as if she were seeing her in-laws.

Dong Lei could sense that Mrs. Xu cared about him, so after hearing that Mrs. Xu was concerned about his marriage, he nodded with a busy smile: "What the old lady said is that the parents at home are also nagging like this. "Dong Lei looked at Mrs. Xu after saying this, paused, and then continued: "Old lady, I was chatting with other managers today, and I feel that there is something wrong with the recent rumors in the capital. I wonder if there is any news at home? "

Dong Lei hesitated for a long time before asking this question here.

Mrs. Xu didn't expect Dong Lei to be so meticulous. Through chatting with other managers, she could guess that something was wrong with the recent rumors in the capital.

Looking up at Dong Lei's nervous expression, Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "There are indeed some things, but it's okay, you don't need to worry." After saying this, Mrs. Xu thought for a while, and then said: "Shi Qiu It is estimated that even if you come back a year ago, it will be at the end of the year. Or you can go back quickly in two days, so that you can hurry on the road and get home before the year."

What Mrs. Xu said was actually a bit inappropriate, but she is an elder, so what she said can also be understood as the elder's concern for the younger generation.

At least Dong Lei didn't feel uncomfortable after hearing Mrs. Xu's words.

But this time, he didn't directly answer Mrs. Xu's words. He only said that he hadn't seen Dong Shu in the past year. The steward asks for advice more.

As for going home, before he left, he had considered that the journey to the north would not be so smooth, so he had already made an agreement with his family in advance that he might not be able to go back years ago.

After Dong Lei said that, Mrs. Xu couldn't say anything else to tell him to go back quickly.

And Mrs. Xu can also tell that because of Dong Lei's arrival, Dong Shu is in a particularly good mood, so even if it is for her own daughter-in-law, she can't say anything like chasing Dong Lei.

Dong Lei couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Mrs. Xu didn't speak again.

It's not that he stays in the capital and doesn't leave, but that he has been in charge for several months, and his intuition is very accurate every time he makes a decision or encounters a big event.

This time he found that there seemed to be something wrong in Beijing, and it was because of his self-consciousness.

Moreover, he felt that something was wrong with the Xu family's atmosphere. Although no one said it clearly, he could feel it.

It's just that after a few days of probing, Dong Lei also found out that his cousin didn't know much, so he slowly affirmed that what happened in the capital this time must have an impact on the Xu family, otherwise Mrs. Xu wouldn't Hiding it from my cousin.

After confirming such a matter, Dong Lei became more and more unwilling to leave at this time.

He arranged for a few guys who went to Beijing with him to go home. They used to help him escort things to the capital. Now he decided to stay in the capital and not go home for the New Year, but it is not easy for them to accompany him .

Dong Lei distributed a sum of money to each of them, and asked them to bring letters and gifts to their homes, and then he stayed in Xu's guest courtyard and waited in peace.

Dong Shu asked Dong Lei when she learned that Dong Lei would not go home for the New Year, but Dong Lei insisted that she did not understand some things about managing the store, and wanted to ask some experienced managers in the capital for advice.

The most important thing was that he told his family that he might not go back for the Chinese New Year before he went out, and he wanted to stay in the capital to attend the New Year's Eve banquet before going back.

After hearing Dong Lei's words, even Dong Shu couldn't say anything.

Now she has only one child, Yuanxi, and Yuanxi's Xisan and Manyue are all in Xiahe Village. According to her mother-in-law, Yuanxi's first birthday must be a big event.

If it really comes to that time, no one from my natal family will be present, and it is indeed not good.

Because of this thought, Dong Shu never asked her cousin when she would come home.

Just taking advantage of this time, she can also have more time to prepare some gifts for his marriage, and since the folks in Xiahe Village have brought her gifts, when her cousin returns, she also has to prepare something for him. He took it back.

Dong Lei waited for another two days, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Dong Shu didn't ask him again.

After all, he was just guessing, and he didn't even find any evidence. It was all because of his intuition.

On this day, it was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it was almost the New Year, but Xu Shiqiu still had no intention of coming back.

But now there is Dong Lei in the family. Although Dong Lei is not from the Xu family, he is Dong Shu's cousin after all, and can be regarded as Xu Shiqiu's uncle. Sometimes there are male guests visiting at home, and he can also help. Reception one or two.

Although Yan Ye is the grandson-in-law of the Xu family, his identity cannot be revealed in a fair manner after all, so even though he is closer than Dong Lei's identity, it is not convenient for him to come out.

However, although it was inconvenient for Yan Ye to appear aboveboard, he secretly went to meet many people during this time.

Especially since he secretly belonged to the prince's line before, and has been in contact with the Sun family since then, Mr. Sun can be sure that they will not betray Yan Ye's people.

This time Yan Ye went to meet these people as the Sun family member, and some sharp-eyed people could see that the lower half of Yan Ye's face was somewhat familiar.

Of course, they just felt a little familiar, but they didn't dare to guess Yan Ye's identity casually. After all, neither Yan Ye's real identity nor the Sun family represented by Yan Ye this time, they dared to offend easily.

However, among these people, Ye Jingde was not included.

Back then when the prince was still there, Ye Jingde was only in his teens. At that time, he was unmarried and had no power of his own. He lived in the palace and was a prince without any sense of existence.

This time, on his way home outside the palace, he occasionally saw Yan Ye's side face, although it was just a glance, but he still doubted Yan Ye's identity.

But Yan Ye just walked by in a hurry that day, and didn't notice that his identity had already been guessed.
