Thinking about it, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and promised: "Tomorrow I will bring you to see mother, and then we will have Second Brother's family's Yanzhu to play with you." Xu Shiqiu had also just thought of his second brother's family's Xu Yanzhu who lived in his mother's courtyard.
She was the same age as Young Girl, so they should be able to converse together.
Most importantly, Xu Shiqiu still had a few things that he wanted to avoid Dong Shu doing tomorrow.
Initially, he was still thinking about how to send away the Young Girl s. He was afraid that if she took too little time for her afternoon nap, he wouldn't be able to finish what he was doing.
But thinking about it now, he felt that sending her away for a while was an extremely good idea.
Dong Shu did not know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking. After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she looked at him with anticipation and a bit nervous: "Husband, I'll go see my mother tomorrow. What do you want me to prepare?"
Dong Shu blinked her large new moon like eyes at Xu Shiqiu, and upon seeing the nervousness and anticipation on Young Girl's face, Xu Shiqiu sighed helplessly: "Before, I didn't bring you to see mother.
Xu Shiqiu originally did not want to see Young Girl being looked down upon by his own mother, but when he saw the look of anticipation on her face, he felt that maybe he was too worried.
Dong Shu didn't really understand what "etiquette" Xu Shiqiu meant when he said those words, but she thought that since the days of the young master were so good, he must definitely be different from the villagers.
Thinking about how she had once seen the ladies of a wealthy family in the town, Dong Shu frowned as she looked at Xu Shiqiu: "Master, don't worry about me, I will learn very quickly. As long as I see it once, I can learn three parts of it.
If mom thinks I'm not good, then I'll study seriously and definitely learn quickly.
As long as Mother does not drive me away from you, I will obediently learn from what you have said about the 'etiquette'. "
Dong Shu's words were said seriously, but Xu Shiqiu felt his heart ache when he heard them.
His Young Girl, a person who was originally so happy since he was young, was actually willing to learn things for him that he didn't even understand.
How could he not pamper this kind of Young Girl.
"Alright, I will bring you to see your mother first tomorrow. If you don't feel tired, I will have Yanzhu teach you." Xu Shiqiu also thought about how his first niece was personally taught by his mother, and how he had taught the Young Girl. With his presence, even if the Young Girl couldn't learn properly, Yanzhu probably wouldn't dare to say anything to her.
Xu Shiqiu felt that his idea was very good, and at the same time, he decided that if Young Girl felt a little uncomfortable tomorrow, he would bring him back.
In the worst case scenario, they could just stay in Shihuan Courtyard and not see anyone else in the family!
Because Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu had discussed going to see the Old Madame Xu the night before, when it was morning, after Xu Shiqiu finished his morning practice, he immediately led the washed Dong Shu to his mother's courtyard.
Originally, Xu Shiqiu had planned to go to the main courtyard only after eating breakfast. However, after Old Madame Xu found out that his third son was going to bring her daughter-in-law over to pay respects to him, he specially sent a message to Xu Shiqiu to ask the two of them to go eat at the main courtyard this morning.
"My mother has an old servant there who cooks the most delicious steamed dumplings. They will definitely be available this morning." When he thought about the crystal clear steamed dumplings that his mother had delivered to him when he was young, Xu Shiqiu's lips curled up into a smile of reminiscence.
Seeing that Dong Shu was looking at him with expectation and nervousness, Xu Shiqiu immediately continued: "You don't have to be afraid when you meet mother later. Mother is very good, it's just that she values etiquette a little."
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu cutely nodded her head and said, "Hubby, don't worry. After saying that, Dong Shu saw that Xu Shiqiu was staring at him without blinking, and her cheeks blushed: "Hubby, if I eat too much, mother won't be angry right?"
Xu Shiqiu did not expect his own Young Girl to be worried about such a thing. He shook his head affirmatively at her before speaking up, "Don't worry, no matter how much you eat, your mother will not be angry.
Moreover, Mother might even be happy. She likes to see this junior eat a lot and feel lucky. " After saying that, Xu Shiqiu reached out and pulled Dong Shu's hand, pulling her hand into his own, then brought her over to the main courtyard.
Actually, he could feel that Young Girl was nervous, but at this time, he wouldn't turn around to return to the Shihuan Courtyard. He could only hold Young Girl's hand and walk straight towards the main courtyard.
It was only when he stood outside the Main Yard that Xu Shiqiu realized that he had not taken the initiative to come to the Main Yard in at least two years.
At this time, within the Main Yard, Old Madame Xu had already heard the servant's report about Xu Shiqiu bringing along his wife and standing outside the courtyard.
As a mother, she naturally wouldn't dislike her son, even if he was called a jinx by everyone.
Just as Old Madame Xu was about to order her servants to invite Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu in, Xu Shiqiu had already taken Dong Shu's hand and took the initiative to walk into the Main Yard.
When the servants inside the Main Yard saw Xu Shiqiu, although they did not avoid him, they did not approach him and only greeted him from afar.
Xu Shiqiu was already used to this scene.
But when Dong Shu saw the servants of the Xu Family making way, he felt extremely unhappy.
"Husband, they've gone too far!"
Just as Dong Shu finished speaking in anger, in the next moment, Xu Shiqiu shook his head at her indifferently, "You can't blame them. When I met them before, they were either wrestling or knocking against each other, so it's only right for them to back off a little. "
After saying that, Xu Shiqiu held onto Dong Shu's hand tightly, and directly brought her into the Main Yard hall.
Seeing his mother sitting up straight, Xu Shiqiu quickly left and greeted her: "My son greets mother." After saying that, without waiting for Old Madame Xu to ask, Xu Shiqiu pointed to the Dong Shu beside him and introduced him, "Mother, this is your third daughter-in-law, Madame Dong."
After Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, Dong Shu looked at the old granny who was sitting in front of him.
Today, Old Madame Xu was wearing a purplish-red right side gown with big sleeves, while the lower half of her body was dressed in a six blessings and light autumn dress. There were silver threads mixed in her hair, which were adorned with a few emeralds.
But in Dong Shu's eyes, this simple disguise of the Xu Family was actually the richest old lady she had ever seen so far.
Normally, the clothes she wore were the common attire worn by unmarried girls in the village, but when Dong Shu saw the old granny sitting at the head of the village, she suddenly understood why his brother-in-law insisted on making such a style when he customized his clothes.
Such a dress on her body was truly beautiful!
Thinking about it, Dong Shu summoned up her courage and looked towards her mother-in-law.
At this moment, the old granny sitting in the seat of honor was looking at him with a smile. However, the smile in her eyes was mostly directed towards her husband who was sitting next to her.
Realizing that her mother-in-law and the village woman were completely different, Dong Shu braced herself and took two steps forward.
But perhaps Dong Shu was too nervous, with a 'plop', she actually kneeled down to Old Madame Xu after taking just two steps.
Seeing Dong Shu kneeling down, Old Madame Xu's expression immediately flashed with surprise.
Seeing Dong Shu directly kneeling down, just as Xu Shiqiu wanted to go forward to help her up, at this moment, Xu Yanzhu, who was standing behind Old Madame Xu, had already walked over to Dong Shu's side with quick steps. She grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
"Grandmother, Third Aunt is probably hungry, but sshe can't even stand steadily." After Xu Yanzhu said these words to the Old Madame Xu, he then looked towards Xu Shiqiu and said: "Third Uncle, your niece is supporting the Third Aunt, I cannot give you my regards."
The moment she knelt down, Dong Shu could tell that her mother-in-law might not like him anymore.
However, at that moment, she really couldn't control her legs. She really didn't expect it to be like this.
Only when a young woman in a long jade-green armor embroidered with censer Lingzhi helped herself up did she embarrass herself and say, "I don't know etiquette, Mother, please don't be angry."
The reason why Old Madame Xu had chosen Dong Shu before, was because her parents had died young, and also because they had grown up to be pleasing.
She had originally thought that as long as her new daughter-in-law could persevere and not be scared off by her third son's frequent misfortunes, she would be satisfied.
After observing for half a month, seeing that Madame Dong was fine, she thought that it would be great if Madame Dong could learn more about the etiquette of a noble.
After all, their Xu Family wasn't that of an ordinary person's, so their two daughter-in-law's backgrounds weren't ordinary as well.
Although the luck of his third son wasn't good, as if he had a bad luck of his own, his wife had to be worthy of him.
People were always greedy, when Old Madame Xu saw that Dong Shu actually kneeled down to him, she felt that this Madame Dong was not worthy of being her third son.
But it was only until her big granddaughter spoke that she finally realised that the Madame Dong did not have a good background. If no one taught her, how could she understand these rules.
After understanding all this, she recalled that nothing had happened to Madame Dong even after marrying her for half a month. Seeing that her son liked her too, the Old Madame Xu revealed a smile and looked at her: "Mother wasn't angry. It's fine if you don't understand it now, but from today onwards, you can just follow Yanzhu and learn from him. " After Old Madame Xu finished speaking to Dong Shu, she revealed a face of joy. As if she wanted to earnestly study, her expression naturally became more satisfied.
It didn't matter if she didn't understand now. She had plenty of time. As long as she wasn't stupid, she would be able to adjust her state of mind. He was taught to be worthy of his third son.
After saying that to Dong Shu, Old Madame Xu turned her gaze directly to Xu Shiqiu, his eyes filled with tears as she said, "Shiqiu, you've already been seeing your mother for the past two years."
Xu Shiqiu had been paying attention to the Young Girl, and he had just seen his mother's expression change.
Xu Shiqiu was extremely glad that he thought of this last night, and greeted his wife in advance.
Looking at the change in her mother's expression, Xu Shiqiu understood what she was worried about.
It was true that the status of his sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law was far inferior than his own Young Girl, but his own Young Girl was chosen by his mother, and this was the case for him.
If the Young Girl was able to learn these rules and etiquette, when their sister-in-law meets him, even the Second Sister-in-law who loved to compete would not be able to explain how bad the Young Girl was.
Thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu decided to slowly teach the Young Girl a few ways to deal with his sister-in-law.
After all, his sister-in-law who was superior to Second Sister-in-law who loved to compete was not easy to deal with.
After making this decision in his heart, Xu Shiqiu immediately revealed a smile towards the Old Madame Xu and said: "The one who came to see my mother in the past, was my son, wasn't it?" After saying that, Xu Shiqiu walked to Dong Shu's side and continued to speak happily: "I have come to pay my respects today, because I have a joyous matter to inform mother of."
