Because of Xu Shiqiu's sudden outburst, the atmosphere in the hall fell into a strange silence.
Everyone in the Xu Family knew that Xu Shiqiu had a bad temper. Previously, when Xu Shiqiu was not angry, no one thought of him.
Two things were unforgettable.
One of them was when he was still in the capital.
That time, Xu Shiqiu would still be young, at least five years old. That day was the full moon of the eldest son of Xu Family, and many guests came to Xu Family.
After all, Xu Yanqing was not only the eldest grandson of Xu Family, she was also the grandson of the Prince Duan.
That time, Xu Shiqiu's personality had yet to develop a solitary and introverted nature, and that time, he was also somewhat sensitive. This was because it was from that moment onwards, Xu Family had always shut him up.
The little Xu Shiqiu did not understand that his physique would harm others. Seeing that the house was bustling with noise and activity, he sneaked out to play.
Unexpectedly, he met another family's young master.
Because of his physique, if others got close to him, they would be in trouble. As a result, many of the young masters had been smashed into a pile, while the few who were near Xu Shiqiu had been smashed until their faces were covered in blood.
Those little gongzi were also extremely spoiled when they were at home. When had they ever encountered such a thing? Immediately, many young masters sat on the ground crying as they pointed at Xu Shiqiu and called him "jinx".
Not only did it harm the Xu Family people, it also hurt them.
That was the first time Xu Shiqiu lost his temper, and was also the first time he found Xu Shiqiu suitable to train in martial arts.
Because of his anger, he walked to the side and directly picked up a large rock that not even his peers could hold and wanted to smash those children.
Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu's father came in time that day, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to resolve this matter.
Dong Shu did not know about her husband's past. She only felt that the atmosphere in the hall was really bad.
She nervously stretched out her hand, gently pulling Xu Shiqiu's sleeve, and called out to him with a trembling voice, "Hubby."
Before Dong Shu spoke, no one would have expected that they would one day see such a scene.
Just as Dong Shu's voice fell, Xu Shiqiu immediately retracted the anger that he had just exploded out of, and turned to Dong Shu with a gentle smile: "My wife, don't be afraid, I was angered by them."
Dong Shu thought that it was simple. The reason she opened her mouth just now was only because of her little beast's intuition.
When she saw that her husband was still treating her like before, she immediately forgot her nervousness. She smiled at him and said, "Then, your husband, don't be angry. Your body is more important."
Dong Shu had only spoken the truth because she was worried about Xu Shiqiu.
Xu Shiqiu naturally felt comfortable listening to his, since Young Girl was still concerned about him the most.
But Madame Jiang felt very uncomfortable after hearing what Dong Shu said.
The two people who were so frightened that their faces turned pale were her sons. When she heard Dong Shu's words, she directly opened her mouth and spoke without caring about Xu Xiaozhi's words, "Oh, what do you mean by those words Third Sister-in-Law? Didn't you see how my Yanlang and Yan Wei's faces turned white because of their Third Uncle? "
Madame Jiang did not dare blame Xu Shiqiu who had frightened his sons, and so she turned all the dissatisfaction in her heart towards Dong Shu.
Looking at Third Sister-in-Law's blank expression after hearing his words, Madame Jiang's face had only just revealed a trace of pride when Xu Shiqiu suddenly sneered and said: "Second Sister-in-law's meaning is that I'm not qualified to care about Yanlang and Yan Wei?"
Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, the Madame Jiang wanted to say "naturally", but before she could say anything, Xu Xiaozhi turned his head towards her and scolded angrily, "Stupid woman!"
After saying these words, Xu Xiaozhi thought for a while, perhaps he felt that he still could not quell the anger in his heart. Looking at Madame Jiang whose face had turned grim due to her words, she continued, "It's all because of you pampering Yanlang and Yan Wei so much that they have lost the backbone that my children and grandchildren should have!"
After cursing at Madame Jiang, Xu Xiaozhi took two steps towards his two sons. Seeing the fearful and perturbed expressions in their eyes, he sighed and said, "The Xu Family has taught father to tell you about it more than once, but you guys clearly did not remember it."
After his two sons finished speaking, Xu Xiaozhi didn't say anything else and only opened his mouth to inform his two sons about the contents of the Xu Family.
"Unmoving Wind Bone!"
He didn't forget the loyalty!
Never give up on haughty bones!
"Unbending spine!"
After saying all that, Xu Xiaozhi no longer spoke. In the end, it was only with a long sigh from the Old Madame Xu that this situation where no one spoke could be broken.
"Teach your wife in front of your godson.
Xiao Zhi, Madame Jiang has indeed doted too much on Yanlang and Yan Wei, but what about you? " After saying that, the Old Madame Xu no longer looked at everyone in the hall. She extended her hand for Xu Yanzhu to support him, and then walked towards the back of the hall.
As he watched his mother leave, Xu Shiqiu was also unwilling to stay any longer. He stood up and quickly left while holding Dong Shu's hand.
Dong Shu didn't know what happened in the Main Yard Hall after she left with her husband, but her mind was still thinking about what she had heard in the hall earlier.
Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu had guessed her Young Girl's personality. Once he returned to the Shihuan Courtyard, he took the initiative to inform Dong Shu of his family's situation in detail.
"Sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Prince Duan. However, since Sister-in-law's birth mother is only a palace maid, she was only given a marriage at the age of thirty to her eldest brother, who became a High Scholar at the time.
But since Big Brother is someone Prince Duan has his eyes on, and because Father and Prince Duan are good friends in the military, their relationship is extremely good.
The highest ranking official in Second Sister-in-law's family was her uncle, the former Minister of Revenue. It was said that he had paid for the examinations with his Jiang Family s all the way back then.
And the reason why she did so much business with her Jiang Family was because there were many members of her family.
Therefore, although Second Sister-in-law's uncle has passed away, her shadow still remains. The clansmen all remember his kindness and treat her family pretty well. "
Xu Shiqiu watched as Dong Shu slowly told her everything that he had previously concealed and kept staring at her, afraid that she would be angry with him for hiding everything from her.
Dong Shu was not angry, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and thought hard for a while, then continued to speak: "I do not understand what Master said about the Ministry of Revenue's letter, but I know what the Prince is."
Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking. Seeing that he was about to speak, she hurriedly asked: "Since that's the case, then I believe that the family that big sister marries is also not ordinary."
Xu Shiqiu never thought that the Young Girl would be so smart, to actually think that he didn't mention anything about his sister.
After laughing out loud, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and spoke: "Big sister married the current Fifth Prince, so she has no way of coming back."
It was said that once you enter the palace gates that are as deep as the sea, even though Fifth Prince s open their gates outside the palace, without an imperial edict, he cannot leave the capital too far.
As for her elder sister, since she was married to the Fifth Prince, she naturally could not leave the capital as she pleased.
What's more, it was impossible for her elder sister to leave the capital as she pleased.
After all …
Just as Xu Shiqiu thought about his elder sister, before he could continue thinking about it, he suddenly heard Dong Shu's sigh.
"So, out of the family three wives, my status is the worst."
Dong Shu had learned quite a few things from Xu Yanzhu these past few days, and she had already become deeply aware of the gap between him and her husband.
It was just that this matter before didn't make her feel that the difference between her and his husband would affect them in any way, but after hearing Xu Shiqiu mentioning her status as his sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law, Dong Shu once again remembered that she was only a peasant girl.
Xu Shiqiu never thought that his own Young Girl would bring up this matter. He had hidden this matter from her previously, and even though he was afraid of scaring her, he was more worried that she would overthink it.
Just as he was about to speak up and comfort Young Girl, he heard him say, "However, I like my husband and he likes me too. "I believe that my husband wouldn't dislike me just because of my identity."
Xu Shiqiu was startled when he heard Dong Shu's words, and immediately laughed out happily. He nodded at her and said: "Yes, I like you, I like you a lot. No matter what your identity is, I will still like you. "
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu smiled happily at him, opened her crescent eyes, and then placed her head against his chest and said: "Hubby, don't worry, I understand what you mean."
Hearing Young Girl's words, Xu Shiqiu's eyes held a smile, as he embraced her with a face full of satisfaction.
Maybe his identity as a Young Girl was not as good as his sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law, but he liked it.
Although silk and silk were good, they were not as comfortable as cotton.
He liked the Young Girl in his arms, who liked to act like a spoiled child and say he liked him.
In the Shihuan Courtyard, Xu Shiqiu told Dong Shu about the hidden secrets. The atmosphere was sweet, but the other courtyards were not too good.
Madame Ye would never despise Dong Shu's identity, because she did not fancy Dong Shu and Madame Jiang at all.
Although she always felt that she was superior, she would not say it out loud.
After all, when she married Xu Mingyuan back then, they had agreed that even though she was a Xu Family Wife, she wouldn't grow up with her mother-in-law.
Even when she was still in the capital all those years ago, she lived in the princess' residence next to Xu Family.
Only, she did not expect that her second son actually told her that he was going to stay in the Xiahe Village and not return to the capital with them.
Xu Mingyuan was in favor of having his second son stay, but because of his identity as the Madame Ye, he did not dare to say that.
Xu Yanhao was not afraid of his mother, and seeing that his mother's expression was not friendly, he gave his sister a meaningful glance before walking closer to her and saying, "Mother, next year will be the tenth year. I will only be able to stay a few months at Xiahe Village, and next year my son can return to the capital to reunite with you."
When Xu Yanhao saw that Madame Ye had just finished speaking, Xu Yanmo bounced and skipped over to Madame Ye's side, directly pulling her arm to advise him: "Mother, please leave Second Brother here in Xiahe Village.
Didn't Grandfather say that he would return the military power that he had left behind back to Xu Family? "Second brother likes to be a general. If you agree to let him stay, then as long as grandmother is happy, then this military power will definitely belong to Second brother."
Even though Xu Yanmo's character seemed to be skipping away, she had been intelligent since childhood, and she knew her mother's personality very well.
As long as the benefits were revealed, her mother would definitely be tempted.
Madame Ye also understood that his second son wanted to become a general. However, the military power in her father's hands was reserved for his son, the son. If his own son wanted to become a general, he could only rely on the military power that he had at the time of the Xu Family.
Only, when she thought about the reason for her return, Madame Ye hesitated again.
"But if Yanhao stayed in the Xiahe Village, he wouldn't be able to participate in your brother's wedding, right?"
The Madame Ye saw that just as Xu Yanmo finished speaking, and before she could even speak, Xu Yanhao had already said: "Then I'll wait until Big Brother gets married and ride his horse back to the capital, then I'll come back later.
Mother, I heard that Second Uncle and Second Aunt will bring Big Sister Yanzhu away this time. Big Sister Yanzhu is not here, and Grandmother does not have any junior accompanying her.
Xu Yanhao looked at Madame Ye and after he finished speaking, Madame Ye had no choice but to nod her head and agree.
The Second Branch did not know what the Eldest Master was plotting, but at this moment, Xu Yanzhu was advising her father not to cripple her two younger brothers.
"Father, Yanlang and Yan Wei did not do well. They can be taught again.
Xu Yanzhu was the one who asked her to come to see her parents and brothers in Old Madame Xu, but she didn't expect to see her father beating up her brothers and sisters as soon as she arrived.
Thinking about how Yanlang and Yan Wei were beaten up, Xu Yanzhu couldn't help but sigh.
Her father was always like this. He didn't spare any effort to teach his son. If something happened, he would beat them up.
Xu Xiaozhi could at least understand what Xu Yanzhu was saying. Towards this eldest daughter of her, Xu Xiaozhi felt extremely guilty, not to mention that she was the one who was filial to his mother on his behalf.
After putting down the wooden stick that was as thick as an infant's fist, Xu Xiaozhi glared fiercely at his two sons, and said: "Today, your sister is begging for mercy, I will let you guys off this beating.
From tomorrow onwards, before you all get up early to train, write a hundred times over your Xu Family and profound arts. Then, you can properly think back to the words that you all heard from your grandfather when he was still alive. "
Xu Xiaozhi also knew that he couldn't teach his son, so he reminded them to think back to his father's teachings.
Seeing her father like this, Xu Yanzhu forced herself to shake her head, and after giving his two brothers a meaningful look, she suggested that she come over to teach her brothers in the next few days.
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Xiaozhi was naturally satisfied.
After handing his two sons over to the eldest daughter, Xu Xiaozhi dragged Madame Jiang to the inner room, and then there was another round of noise.
watched as Xu Yanhao, who was in charge of the main hall, continuously looked in their direction, while the hands of the Xu brothers, Yanlang and Xu Yanwei, continuously trembled, and they almost could not hold back their wooden sticks.
Because of what happened in the morning, Old Madame Xu was not in a good mood. Furthermore, due to the rules of the Xu Family, no one spoke up during dinner.
It was only when the meal was over and the family had sat down again in the hall that the eldest son, Xu Yanqing, was the first to speak.
