The moment that Xu Shiqiu was stunned, Dong Shu had already pulled Xu Yanzhu's wrist, looking at her, she consoled her: "Don't mind what your Third Uncle just said." Even if Dong Shu had a silly personality, she would still be able to tell that what Xu Shiqiu said just now was a little inappropriate.

Who would directly say that the First Miss wanted to marry someone?

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Yanzhu raised her hand to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief. Only then did she smile and replied to Dong Shu: "Third Aunt, don't worry, I'm fine."

After saying this, perhaps because she was worried that the Third Aunt would not believe him, Xu Yanzhu thought for a moment before continuing: "Actually, I also understand that I'm a girl, it's not good to dream of marrying someone.

But every time my mother saw me, she would sigh deeply, saying that even though Xu Family had raised me for more than ten years, it wasn't of any use at all.

"He even said that I would stay at home and not marry anyone. I will definitely delay the marriage engagement of his two younger brothers."

As Xu Yanzhu spoke, she suddenly felt extremely wronged. Because she had been by her grandmother's side since childhood, she and her mother were naturally not close friends.

However, she would never have thought that her own mother would say such repulsive words to her.

After speaking to Third Aunt, Xu Yanzhu saw her widened eyes in shock, and immediately consoled her, "Third Aunt, don't be so shocked.

I... I am just envious of how the Third Uncle treats you so well. "

After saying this, Xu Yanzhu saw Third Aunt's relieved look and then dared to continue, "Actually, two years ago I told Grandmother that she would marry me or that my mother would use me to exchange for benefits. "I might as well wring my hair to be my sister-in-law.

Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu who had just finished speaking, and exclaimed at her: "Yanzhu, you cannot have such thoughts. But it has not reached such a level! "

Because of Dong Shu's cry of surprise, Xu Shiqiu also recovered from his own thoughts, looked at Xu Yanzhu who was standing beside Young Girl and said: "Mother definitely won't agree to have you become my sister-in-law. A lady of my Xu Family, is fine even if she doesn't marry in her entire life, it's not like she can't afford to raise it. "

Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said: "My wife, let's eat first. After we finish breakfast, you and Yanzhu will talk in detail."

In Xu Shiqiu's heart, nothing was as important as his own Young Girl's stomach.

These days, Young Girl ate well and slept well. He looked like he had grown taller.

They had only been raised like this for another half a month. If they let Doctor Du come over and take a look, if he had a good rest, they would be able to have a child earlier.

If he waited any longer, Young Girl would suspect that he was hugging her every night. How come she didn't have a little kid?

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's voice, Dong Shu immediately pulled Xu Yanzhu to the round table, and turned to look at her: "Yanzhu, don't think too much, there will definitely be a way.

After we eat, I'll bring you to the storage room to take a look. If you like anything, you can take it. "

At this time, Dong Shu could smell the fragrance of the food. These days, her husband had allowed her to eat as she liked, and she could clearly feel the increase in the amount of food she ate.

However, she didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but she still felt that the skirt that could cover her feet had become a little short.

Xu Yanzhu did not intend to mention this matter in front of Third Aunt in the first place. She indeed wanted to use Third Uncle to remind Grandmother and Father to find a good marriage, but she absolutely did not intend to make use of Third Aunt.

So when she heard the Third Aunt's words, she naturally followed him obediently and walked forward. When she reached the round table, she lifted her hand to open the box she had brought with her and took out the spring cake.

The spring cake made in the Old Madame Xu's kitchen was extremely detailed, and the color of the side dishes inside were very beautiful.

Dong Shu originally loved to eat, but upon seeing such exquisite spring cakes, she naturally couldn't wait to pick up her wooden chopsticks and pick one up.

With Dong Shu here, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu's nephew also felt that today's spring cakes were exceptionally delicious.

Waiting until the three of them finished breakfast, before Dong Shu went to take a breather. Only then did Xu Shiqiu look at Xu Yanzhu and suddenly opened her mouth: "Yanzhu, do you have any grievances?"

Because Dong Shu was not around, she was at least ten steps away from her. Hearing Third Uncle's words, she was first shocked, then shook her head seriously: "Why do you ask Third Uncle that?

As a female Xu Family, no matter if it's the capital's great general, the Xu Palace, or the current Xu Family, Xu Yanzhu is only the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Xu Family. "

Xu Yanzhu said in a serious tone, and after she finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu continued to ask: "Nine years ago, before Xu Family was chased out of the capital, you were one of the great Sun Concubine that the Crown Princess selected for her grandson. Are you sure you don't blame me for this matter? "

Hearing Third Uncle not giving up, and bringing up such past matters, Xu Yanzhu looked at him angrily and said, "Third Uncle, why do you think so much of Yanzhu!

Yanzhu just said it before, as a female Xu Family, no matter how strong her Xu Family is, Yanzhu is still a female Xu Family! "

Saying that, because of the grievances she had suffered, Xu Yanzhu continued to speak while looking at Xu Shiqiu with tears in his eyes: "Third Uncle, I have not even reached the month of life when I was brought up to my side by my grandmother.

Until the age of nine, Yanzhu had been taught how to be a woman in the palace, and how to be a wife to the imperial family.

However, ever since something had happened to her Xu Family nine years ago, Yanzhu understood that the reason why Yanzhu had been able to be valued highly by the imperial concubine was because her grandfather was the Great General of the nation who wielded military power.

From that day onwards, Yanzhu told herself that because I am a Xu Family girl, regardless of honor or disgrace, I am still only a Xu Family girl!

"No matter what!"

As she said till the end, no matter how wronged she was, Xu Yanzhu still did not let the tears in her eyes fall.

She would always remember what her grandfather had said to her nine years ago, when he was still alive.

"My Xu Family's daughter's tears are the most precious. My Xu Family daughter would rather be a wife than a concubine. My Xu Family's status, is something that I have to fight for relying on a man, and not relying on my daughter's body! '

Thinking about it, Xu Yanzhu tried her best to smile, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said seriously: "Third Uncle, are you satisfied with Yanzhu's answer?"

When Xu Yanzhu opened her mouth, Xu Shiqiu calmly sat on the seat of honor, all the way until he heard her last sentence. Only then did he unhurriedly nod her head, saying, "Very satisfied! This is what my Xu Family daughter should look like. "

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu stared into Xu Yanzhu's eyes and said seriously: "Yanzhu, remember, my Xu Family is the family of generals. Even if I am chased out of the capital now, I can't imitate those despicable scholars! "

Xu Shiqiu had always hated his Second Sister-in-law. He was clearly a merchant, but he just had to learn from the morals of a corrupt clan.

However, seeing that Young Girl liked this big niece, he did not mind helping her.

When she heard the Third Uncle mention the word "corrupt", Xu Yanzhu immediately understood why the Third Uncle had asked him this question repeatedly earlier.

Just as Third Uncle Xu Yanzhu was about to continue speaking, Dong Shu, who had gone to relieve herself, returned at this moment.

Although Dong Shu was not as intelligent and sensitive as him, she still sensed that something was amiss when she entered the main hall.

Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu whose eyes were still glowing and immediately walked towards her with concern: "Yanzhu, what's wrong with you?" After saying that, Dong Shu nervously whispered: "Did your Third Uncle just scold you?"

Seeing Third Aunt's cautious appearance, Xu Yanzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud. After looking at him with a teasing gaze, Xu Yanzhu then returned to the Third Aunt in a low voice and said, "Third Aunt, I'm fine. It's just that I was reminiscing about some family matters with Third Uncle just now."

After saying that, Xu Yanzhu purposely raised her voice a bit, looked at Dong Shu and continued: Third Aunt, the matters of the family, has Third Uncle not told you yet?

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu immediately thought of this matter.

Whether it was the voice of the Young Girl whispering to his eldest niece just now or Xu Yanzhu's quiet replies later, he had heard Xu Shiqiu's voice clearly.

However, when he heard his first niece talking about the 'family's past' to the Young Girl, he hurriedly interrupted her and said, "I will slowly tell my wife about this matter."

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu with a smile on her face: "My wife, aren't you going to bring Yanzhu to the warehouse to take a look? It's getting late now, so you should bring Yanzhu to have a look first. After sending the ingredients over to the kitchen, you must be in a hurry to cook again. "

When Xu Shiqiu said those words that diverted Dong Shu's attention away, as expected, Dong Shu was instantly attracted to him.

She thought about how she had to keep Xu Yanzhu for lunch today, and quickly pulled on Xu Yanzhu's wrist: "Yanzhu, your Third Uncle said that I can do whatever I want with the things in his storage room. You know, I don't understand these things, and it just so happens that you'll be coming with me this time.

Xu Yanzhu also knew that she could not continue provoking Third Uncle. Seeing that Third Aunt was interested, she immediately replied: "Alright, today I will open my eyes to see what Third Uncle has here." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu followed Dong Shu and walked out.

After Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu left, Xu Shiqiu finally walked to the study room, raised his brush and wrote a letter to his second brother.

Xu Shiqiu had never thought of saying anything to his Second Sister-in-law, even though Second Brother relied on her Second Sister-in-law's mother to do business, he was still a man.

A man with Xu Family should support the heavens for his daughter's home!

Xu Yanzhu didn't know that her Third Uncle would write to her father so quickly. After following her to the backyard, she was immediately attracted by the various treasures here.

Xu Yanzhu had always known that Third Uncle had a lot of treasures in her hands, but she never thought that he would have so many treasures.

However, she was only shocked, not jealous. Looking at these, she quickly picked out what she knew and told Third Aunt.

In the end, Xu Yanzhu would even tell Dong Shu what use these things could be used for.

Dong Shu had never learned these before, even he only knew how to accept gifts and return them with gifts.

In the morning, Dong Shu was studying with Xu Yanzhu in the warehouse.

When they heard Xu Shiqiu standing outside the house calling them, they came out of the warehouse.

When Xu Yanzhu followed Dong Shu out, she was still holding onto the two simple and elegant Cloud s Silk in her hands.

Seeing that Third Uncle was standing right at the door, Xu Yanzhu immediately looked at him and said: "These two silk clouds, Third Aunt said he will keep it for me to wear during the summer."

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu shook his head nonchalantly.

It was only two pieces of fabric. He had already said that he would give them to his eldest niece, so he naturally wouldn't be reluctant to part with them.

"Today, the colors of the clothes here in the Third Uncle are mostly green and plain colors. You young girls should still wear fresh and tender colors to look good.

"The next time your aunt sends me clothes and materials, I'm afraid there will be fresh ones. You can choose from them later."

Once Xu Shiqiu said those generous words, Xu Yanzhu immediately thanked him and said: "Then Yanzhu thanks Third Uncle a lot."

Xu Yanzhu naturally would not reject Third Uncle. If she did not take these, Third Uncle would be unhappy instead.

After all, she still has to teach Third Aunt. She is a junior of the Third Aunt, so it would be hard for Third Aunt to take her as her master. However, Third Uncle can use some cloth to 'bribe' her to 'play' with Third Aunt. "

Dong Shu did not understand the deep meaning of the words that her husband and eldest niece had said. After walking out of the storage room, she was prepared to walk towards the small kitchen.

Since there were guests at home today, she naturally had to show off her skills.

Seeing Young Girl's actions, Xu Shiqiu gave his first niece a meaningful glance, then quickly followed behind Young Girl and said: "My wife, let me help you."

Xu Yanzhu originally wanted to go and help, but when she saw Third Uncle's expression, she immediately looked at Third Aunt's back and said: "Third Aunt, then I'll walk around in the Shihuan Courtyard for a bit and won't help you."

Dong Shu did not know that her husband had given his eldest niece a look telling her not to follow him, but upon hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, she naturally replied him, "Yanzhu, as a guest, naturally there is no need for you to help.

Take a look around first. Third Aunt is very quick, you'll be able to prepare some food in a while. " Saying that, Dong Shu also walked into the kitchen and started cooking.

Xu Yanzhu watched as Third Uncle quickly followed him into the kitchen. Other than the corner of her mouth revealing an envious smile, a figure suddenly appeared in her heart.
