Dong Shu's eyes that were sizing up Ye Shuo could not be considered hidden. On the fourth time she looked at Ye Shuo, Ye Shuo, who could pretend that he did not notice his third aunt's size, finally could not hold it in. He looked at Dong Shu and said: "Third Aunt, if you have anything to ask me, just ask.
"How can you say that?" Xu Shiqiu had only just finished speaking when he turned to look at Young Girl. Because of Ye Shuo's words, his face flushed red and he hurriedly said to him, "Your third aunt probably saw you for the first time.
"Really? Third Aunt really thinks I'm handsome? " Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Shuo puffed out his chest and proudly looked like a rooster, "I knew that a person like Third Uncle would definitely marry an extremely good wife. As expected, Third Aunt's eyesight is not bad, and she can see the truth of my handsomeness. "
From the moment Ye Shuo first said those words, his face had already turned red, and after hearing what Ye Shuo said just now, he looked at him and said: "Shuo'er, you look pretty good." After saying that, Dong Shu saw that Ye Shuo was becoming more and more pleased, and immediately added: "It's just that it is still far from your Third Uncle."
"I knew it!" After Ye Shuo angrily and helplessly said these words, he saw his third aunt looking at Third Uncle with an admiring gaze, and when the latter looked at his third aunt with a loving gaze, he immediately raised his hand to cover his chest and said, "I am so pitiful. I would have never imagined that I would see such a gaze when I was outside the capital looking at my mother every day.
Ah, I'm only thirteen this year. Even if I were to marry at the age of fifteen, it would still be two years, and I don't know if I would be able to marry the woman I like.
The most important thing is that Big Brother doesn't seem to have the intention of getting married, but if Big Brother doesn't want to get married, Mother definitely won't choose a wife for me. "
Just as Ye Shuo finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu raised his hand and gently patted the back of his head.
"You have quite the guts to actually dare to tease an elder." "You're so young, yet you're already thinking about marriage? Isn't it obvious that even if literature fails, you're already prepared to spend the rest of your life like this?" Xu Shiqiu watched as Ye Shuo finished speaking, and after seeing him giggling and pretending that he did not understand, he shook his head and asked: "How is Hong'er's body?"
"Hong'er, as always, you've had another illness the year before last. Mother took care of you for half a month before you recovered." As he talked about his younger brother's physical condition, Ye Shuo's tone was also no longer as casual as when he was playing before, "However, after spring, my daughter's body was fine, but mother was worried, she originally planned to come visit grandmother, but now, she has no choice but to let me do it."
After saying these serious words, Ye Shuo snickered, and continued to speak: "But this time, Big Brother still wants to snatch a chance to leave the house from me, he also wants to pay his respects to Grandmother, Third Uncle and Third Aunt, but who asked him to be Big Brother, I am Old Second, in the end Father still let me come." After saying all of this, Ye Shuo's face also revealed a little complacency.
After Xu Shiqiu finished listening to what he said, he first shot a glance at him, scaring the pleased look off his face, then sighed with emotion: "Sigh, I hope that Grand Shang'er will be a bit younger, and will be better off for a few days." This way, elder sister will also have the opportunity to go out for a walk.
Nine years. In these nine years, Ye Xuan had to get sick two or three times every year, and because his sister felt guilty, she stayed by his side every single time.
"Third Uncle, you don't have to worry too much. Before I came here, Big Brother said that he found an ancient formula to nurture his body well. After the imperial physician has tested it, he will be able to help Guang'er recuperate." Ye Shuo saw that Xu Shiqiu seemed to be sad, and quickly put away the playful expression on his face, speaking with a serious face.
He didn't know that he'd leaked the information at all, but he'd actually mentioned the imperial physician.
Dong Shu raised her head and looked at her as she spoke. However, she did not open her mouth to inquire further, and instead, instantly reacted to a matter in her heart.
Ye Shuo's surname was Ye, and Ye, was the surname of a nation.
Because she had finally figured out what was going on, Dong Shu didn't know what to say for a moment. She just sat there and listened to Ye Shuo talk to her husband until the Mule Cart returned to its Xiahe Village and Ye Shuo went to pay his respects to the Old Madame Xu first. Only then did Dong Shu take Dong Shu's hand and head back to the Shihuan Courtyard to rest and eat.
"Why did my wife not say anything just now?" Xu Shiqiu naturally noticed that something was wrong with Dong Shu just now. Previously, he had not asked Ye Shuo about it, but now, it was only the two of them so he naturally asked directly.
"I just suddenly thought of something." After Dong Shu said this, she thought for a moment before continuing, "Initially, I felt that Shuo'er was not like you, nor was she like Big Bro and Second Bro, but after some more thought, his surname was Ye, and was a nation."
"I forgot to tell you about this." Xu Shiqiu did not expect Dong Shu to think this far. Seeing Dong Shu slightly raise her head and wait for him, she hurriedly continued: "Elder sister is the principal wife of the current Fifth Prince.
However, our Xu Family does not have a concubine, and our cousin's fiancé died just in time. Our cousin was forced by our stepmother to want to die, so our mother let our father bring our cousin away, and let our cousin accompany our sister and marry Teng Qinghu.
His cousin had been staying in her brother-in-law's backyard, and she had been extremely happy. She had a soft temper. With her elder sister protecting her, nothing would happen to her.
However, because her brother-in-law only had his sister in his heart, and had focused on cherishing her, two years after her first son, Ye Huan, was born, he was scolded by her mother Consort De s that her husband's son was not well off. Under the insistence of her sister, her brother-in-law ended up spoiling her until her cousin gave birth to Shuo'er.
However, her cousin's health had not been good since she was young. She had lost half her life to give birth to Shuo'er. Shuo'er had left when she was still less than a year old, and had heard from her elder sister that before she left, her elder sister had always said that she was sorry for her elder sister, but her elder sister felt that she had failed to protect her.
Due to the guilt in her sister's heart, after her cousin left, Shuo'er was raised and raised by her sister. "
"I see." After Dong Shu finished speaking, she completely understood what was going on.
The reason why Ye Shuo did not look like a Xu Family individual was because his body did not have the bloodline of a Xu Family individual.
"My wife, although everyone in the family knows about this matter, including Shuo'er, no one mentions it. Mother had always thought that the reason her cousin died so early, like her aunt, was because she was born with Ye Shuo. The reason her elder cousin gave birth to Ye Shuo was also because her elder sister was scolded by the Consort De in front of everyone in the harem. In order to prevent the Consort De from stuffing other women in her husband's family, she helped her elder sister pamper him.
When Shuo'er was exposed, she also cried for a while. Afterwards, she refused to learn literature, nor did she want to learn martial arts. She only wanted to play around every day and become an ordinary son of the royal family. "
Xu Shiqiu still remembered the anger and shock when he heard that his cousin was pregnant in the capital's Xu Family backyard.
He clearly remembered that Brother-in-law said that he only liked his elder sister, and only had her as his woman. But Brother-in-law still favored other women!
Xu Shiqiu remembered that he was extremely angry and hated his cousin.
It was only when he heard the argument between his mother and father later that he found out that the Consort De had ignored the face of the Xu Family and scolded his sister in front of everyone in the harem, forcing his sister to take in a concubine for her brother-in-law.
When his cousin gave birth to Ye Huan, she lost half of her life. Later on, she did not even have to live for more than a year before she started to feel sorry for him.
Xu Shiqiu always remembered the scene when he first met his cousin, when he fell down due to his influence. Not only was she not angry, she even consoled him.
Although Dong Shu had heard about the affairs of the family before, she did not expect that the person beside him would also encounter such things.
She quickly turned her head, thinking to herself, if her future husband only had her, would her mother-in-law be dissatisfied as well?
"What are you thinking?" "Don't worry, sister will be forced to marry me because she marries into the imperial family, and brother will have a concubine because his sister-in-law is from the imperial family. Father only has Mother in his life, and Mother had said long ago that she would not place girls in our brother's backyard. "
Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking, and that her expression had slowly become natural. Then, she continued to speak with a joking tone: "Moreover, you should know about my situation, if it were any other woman who would have approached me alone, I would have probably married someone else long ago."
Xu Shiqiu's tone was casual, and Dong Shu, who heard his words, also reacted after being stunned for a moment.
"That hubby, if I can't give birth to a child, won't you marry another woman?" Dong Shu was a little nervous. After Xu Shiqiu asked this question, he looked at him seriously and waited for his reply.
"How could my wife have such a guess?" Xu Shiqiu did not expect that after such a long time had passed, Young Girl would actually still be worried about this kind of thing, "Your husband said long ago that it's enough to have you in his life. No matter how nice the other girls are, they aren't suitable for me. Even if you never gave birth, you are still my, Xu Shiqiu's, legal and proper wife. How could I not want you? " After saying that, Xu Shiqiu lifted Dong Shu's hand and placed it on her heart, allowing her to feel her own heartbeat.
"Hubby is indeed the best. I understand hubby's meaning now. I won't ask you these things in the future." Dong Shu's face carried a joyous smile, and when she heard what she said, he immediately said, "Hubby, what do you want to eat in the afternoon, I'll go and do it right away."
Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, the servants in the courtyard of Old Madame Xu came over to invite Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu to the main courtyard to eat.
When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at the main courtyard, Ye Shuo seemed to be talking about something interesting for Old Madame Xu and Xu Yanzhu to hear.
Seeing that Xu Yanzhu also revealed a smile, Dong Shu had a good impression of him.
Seeing Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, Ye Shuo immediately stood up and walked two steps towards them. "Third Uncle, tell Grandma, did Third Aunt think I was handsome just now?" After asking this question, he looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu in anticipation.
Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu looked at each other, then Xu Shiqiu looked at him and shook her head: "Your third aunt never said that." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu saw that Ye Shuo wanted to continue speaking, so he quickly asked: "Shuo'er, come to Xiahe Village, does your mother have a letter for you to bring?"
Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he raised his hand to smack himself on the forehead, "Aiyo, how could I have forgotten about this!"
