Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, but she could feel that her husband's embrace was tightening. Leaning against his chest, she could clearly feel his heartbeat quickening in that instant.

It was just that Dong Shu didn't know what to say at this time, so she could only lean against her chest and allow her to hug him.

Xu Shiqiu did not stay there with Dong Shu in his arms for the entire time. After the time it took to make a cup of tea, he released Dong Shu and brought her away from this place.

That moment of tranquility a moment ago had indeed enchanted him.

However, Xu Shiqiu also understood that if he wanted to give the Young Girl a happy life, he couldn't just immerse himself in it forever.

Not long after Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu back to the Shihuan Courtyard, Cui Hua, who had gone to lead the way for Xu Jun and his, also returned to the Shihuan Courtyard as well.

Seeing that Cui Hua had returned, Xu Shiqiu let her rest for a quarter of an hour. Then, he asked around to see if there were any older Elementary Scholars in the town.

"The old Elementary Scholar isn't too old. You should go pick out a few and report them to me. I'll go investigate them later."

Xu Shiqiu didn't dare to casually choose an old Elementary Scholar to come to the Xu Family not only because he had her Young Girl s, but also because he had a few young girls.

The most important thing was to find someone with a good temper who could understand what he wanted them to learn.

What Xu Shiqiu wanted was not a group of students who would participate in the Imperial examinations in the future, but a helper who could read books.

If the Xu Jun Brothers truly had a son suitable for studying in their home, he would directly send him to a good school to study, instead of delaying him so much by staying at home.

As Xu Shiqiu thought about this, he also roughly explained his own intentions to Cui Hua.

After Cui Hua finished listening to what Xu Shiqiu had to say, she frowned and nodded, then left the main hall of the Shihuan Courtyard.

After watching Cui Hua's figure completely disappear into the distance, Dong Shu then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Husband, handing these matters over to Cui Hua, isn't that a bit difficult?"

It wasn't because Dong Shu didn't say what she wanted to do, but because she was worried that it would be hard on Cui Hua.

Ever since Cui Hua arrived at the Shihuan Courtyard, the two of their clothes had been completely washed by him. The courtyard was swept and she had practically personally finished watering, fetching water, and boiling water.

Previously, Dong Shu didn't understand, but now, she knew that all of these things were done by at least two or three servants in Yanzhu and her mother-in-law's courtyard.

Although Cui Hua was stronger than most male servants, she was still a girl after all.

Originally, doing things within the Shihuan Courtyard was enough for her to get busy. But now, even matters outside the Shihuan Courtyard required her to come.

Xu Shiqiu originally did not think that much either. After hearing Dong Shu's words, after careful consideration, it was indeed because her own considerations were not thorough.

However, he was unable to find a suitable person for now. Xu Shiqiu could only keep this matter in his heart, and thought that he would find someone else to share these matters with Cui Hua.

At that time, one person would be in charge of matters within the Shihuan Courtyard while the other person would be in charge of matters outside.

However, since the Young Girl had spoken today, he had to give Cui Hua some rewards.

The most important thing was that Xu Shiqiu did not expect Cui Hua to be so capable.

In the beginning, he had only asked Cui Hua to do some things, but after realizing that she could actually do things that many male servants might not be able to complete quickly, and after encountering some things, he subconsciously thought of instructing Cui Hua to do them.

It had to be said that Xu Shiqiu never thought that the servants that he casually found when the Young Girl came over for the month would actually be so capable.

Xu Shiqiu felt that this must be because the Young Girl's luck was really too deep, which was why he was able to find such a capable and obedient Cui Hua.

Thinking to this, Xu Shiqiu immediately looked towards Dong Shu and said, "It must be because my wife has too much good fortune that I was able to find such a capable servant like Cui Hua." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu sighed with emotion: "Before I didn't have my wife, I didn't have such good luck."

Dong Shu could not bear to see Xu Shiqiu say such words, upon hearing Xu Shiqiu mention this matter, she immediately extended her hand out to cover's mouth, and then looked at him seriously and said: "Hubby, don't say such words in the future. "No matter what you do, or how I do, I am still your wife, and you are just my husband."

Dong Shu saw that right after Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu immediately pulled her into his embrace and kissed her lips.

This was happening at the Shihuan Courtyard, and Dong Shu knew very well that no one would come except Cui Hua. Therefore, when Xu Shiqiu personally went over to her, not only was she not afraid, she even took the initiative to grab his neck, and tried to cooperate with him.

Xu Shiqiu had just wanted to kiss the Young Girl lightly, but who knew that she would actually take the initiative to help him.

In this way, the kiss that was just a tiny bit like a dragonfly touching the water slowly developed until the two of them couldn't help but roll onto the bed.

Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu still thought that it was daytime and didn't overdo it. Once Dong Shu made a move, she would hurriedly put on her clothes and get up, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold herself back and delay the events of the night.

After Xu Shiqiu got up, he only laid for fifteen minutes. After Xu Shiqiu finished boiling the hot water and mentioned it to his ear, she got up, showered and cleaned his face, preparing for the banquet tonight.

Tonight's banquet was going to be official, but because of Xu Jun and Xu Jie's statuses, it was destined that they wouldn't be of too high a grade.

But to say that it wasn't official, their father was someone who had sworn brothers to the great general who had passed away, and they had specially rushed over to help Xu Shiqiu. It was natural for Xu Family to arrange a banquet to welcome them.

As she thought about these things, Dong Shu decided on the dress she would wear tonight.

She wore a pink blouse and a matching camellia vest embroidered in silver red, while her lower body was a light apricot-colored horse-face skirt.

This body was a bit brighter in color and was decorated with a few pieces of jewelry. It looked a bit more formal than it did in the morning, but it wasn't too solemn. It suited her age.

The reason Dong Shu was dressed this way was because she guessed that Old Madame Xu and Xu Yanzhu would definitely not choose this color at night.

As expected, her guess was not wrong. Old Madame Xu and Xu Yanzhu's attire were both slightly formal, but it was not too solemn.

Old Madame Xu chose purple, and Xu Yanzhu was still her favorite blue color.

Seeing all these, Dong Shu felt that her guess was not wrong. Although her dressing tonight was not under Xu Yanzhu's tutelage, it was also not a mistake.

It seemed that she would be able to choose clothes and accessories for herself more often in the future.

Xu Jun and Xu Jie never thought that the Xu Family would prepare such a sumptuous dinner, yet the fact that there wasn't an overly formal reception in the eyes of the Xu Family people made Xu Jun and the others feel overwhelmed.

The two brothers ate exquisite dishes that they had never eaten before. In their hearts, they were also determined that in the future, they would work wholeheartedly to fight for their children. They would also be able to live such lives in the future.

Xu Shiqiu did not know what Xu Jun and Xu Jie were thinking. After the dust-washing banquet ended, Xu Shiqiu discussed with the two brothers that they would rest for a day and help him do things the next day.

Allowing Xu Jun and Xu Jie to rest for another day was also what Xu Shiqiu was preparing to do previously. He wanted to see if there was anything that he was not in a hurry to do.

After all, he didn't have that many players right now, so he couldn't finish them all in a short period of time.

Since Xu Shiqiu had spoken, Xu Jun and Xu Jie naturally did not say much. After Xu Shiqiu suggested for them to go around the vicinity of Xiahe Village on the second day, the two of them accepted the arrangement.

After a whole day's worth of arrangements, Xu Shiqiu finally managed to arrange all the things that he needed to do in detail.

On the morning of the third day, after Xu Shiqiu got up to train, he ordered Cui Hua to bring Xu Jun and Xu Jie to the first place in the living room, so that he could inform Xu Jun and Xu Jie of his arrangements.

"There are two things that need to be done most right now.

The first is the teahouse in the county. I plan to hand it over to my wife's Cousin. He had worked as a waiter in the restaurant for a few years. As well as his wife's Cousin, he did not need to worry about his loyalty.

However, his leg which he previously had not fully recovered from was broken again a few days ago. Now that he has recuperated, there is a need for someone to keep an eye on any subsequent changes to the teahouse in the county. "

After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he raised the teacup by his side and drank a mouthful of tea, before continuing: "This is the first thing I want to do. Other than this, I have several other shops in the county as well as in the town. They used to belong to the mistress, but now that I have taken over, I am prepared to bring my wife on a tour around the village.

He wanted to see how the business of these stores was, and whether there was a need to change them. Also, he wanted to let the people in the shops know that this shop was now mine.

"Among the two brothers, one of them will be following us to inspect these shops. If there are any problems, I can arrange them in time."

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Jun looked at him and said: "For these two matters, us brothers alone can handle it well."

Xu Jun saw that just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Jie also nodded his head: "Third brother is right, any of us brothers will take care of the things that you have said. The shops that need to be changed are in the county. Even if we leave, it will be enough time to walk back in a day. "

After listening to Xu Jun and his finish talking, Xu Shiqiu nodded with satisfaction in his heart, and then opened his mouth: "Since that's the case, then I still need another brother to do one more thing."

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu drank another mouthful of tea before continuing, "Besides the properties distributed to the businesses in the county and town, as well as the good farmlands, there are also the shops, two farms and some good farmlands in the capital.

Originally, my sister was in charge of managing all the shops in the capital. Although my sister wouldn't scheme against me, I'm already married and can't always count on her.

Therefore, perhaps when second brother arrives, there will be another elder brother who needs to return to the capital. "

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Jun and Xu Jie looking at each other in surprise. Xu Shiqiu thought for a moment, then continued: "The two villas outside the capital were both bought for me by Father.

The steward of the manor was a personal soldier who had followed his father. After his father got injured, he had been assigned to work in the manor. Although he had been doing very well for so many years, he only cultivated and sold food every year without any other benefits.

I remember that the two villas are big villas with mountains and lakes. As long as the planning is good, it is impossible for them to only grow grain and sell them for harvest every year.

Both of you brothers have been planted on the ground, so you should understand what I mean, but don't know if I'm right or not. "

Xu Shiqiu had never planted anything before, so all his guesses came from the books he had read.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Jun and a little nervously, waiting for their reply.
