Xu Yanzhu did not say those words, she only thought for a moment, when she came back to her senses, she saw Cui Hua holding a pomegranate in her hand, looking at her.

"First Miss, do you want to eat pomegranate?"

Hearing Cui Hua's question, Xu Yanzhu looked at her and shook his head, then said: "I just left home, I don't want to eat it, I'll eat it when I feel homesick." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu seemed to have thought of something, and laughed for a bit before continuing: "This year's number of pomegranates produced by the Shihuan Courtyard is not many, so Third Aunt giving me half of them would hurt Third Uncle's heart, I need to save up on my food."

"Listen to First Miss and eat when you're homesick." After saying that, Cui Hua put away the pomegranate that she had just taken out, "These pomegranate fruits were personally picked by the servant himself. The lady said that the meaning of these pomegranate fruits is good, she said that you must bring them with you."

"It's exactly like this in the Third Aunt. Because this pomegranate tree was planted by the Third Uncle, after she became pregnant this year, everything went smoothly. I keep thinking that it's because of this tree." Saying that, Xu Yanzhu thought about the expression on Dong Shu's face when she gave the pomegranate to him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu laugh, Cui Hua heaved a sigh of relief. She was truly afraid that the First Miss would be sad that she had left home.

In the carriage after leaving Xiahe Village, Xu Yanzhu, who was sitting inside the Mule Cart, couldn't bear to eat the pomegranate Dong Shu gave her. Inside the Shihuan Courtyard, Xu Shiqiu peeled a piece of pomegranate for Dong Shu.

Seeing the sparkling and red pomegranate seeds on the plate in front of him, Dong Shu picked up two of them and placed them into her mouth. After chewing for a while, she then spat out the two small white pomegranate seeds and looked at Xu Shiqiu: "Master, although there aren't many pomegranates produced by this tree in our courtyard, it's still quite sweet."

Saying that, Dong Shu grabbed two pomegranate seeds and put them into her mouth.

Seeing Dong Shu happily eating, Xu Shiqiu called Ling Xiang over and washed his hands before saying, "When I first moved the pomegranate tree, I asked the old farmer who was an expert in growing trees. The old farmer said that the number of fruits would be different every year, and every three years, there would always be a year when there would be more fruits."

Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking and that she was nodding towards him. Then he smiled lovingly and shook his head: "If you like to eat it, then I'll get people to move and bring it back next spring. But there is no place to grow Shihuan Courtyard, so I can always find a few places where I can plant pomegranate trees in my family. "

"There's no need for that." Dong Shu's eyes lit up as sshe looked at Xu Shiqiu. After saying this, he laughed and said, "The reason why I like eating this pomegranate is also because this tree was planted by Master, and because I like Master, that's why I love it."

Although it wasn't the first time Xu Shiqiu had said these words, he felt incomparably happy every time he heard them.

"Hmm, your husband also likes his wife." After seeing Dong Shu finish speaking, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while, then said: "Now that Yanzhu has left home, there are a lot of things happening outside, do you need someone to accompany you at home to talk?"

"It is a bit boring, but I have already told Yanzhu that after she left home, I would go see Mother everyday. After she writes me a letter, I will tell her about Mother's situation." After Dong Shu finished speaking, he looked at who was smiling at him, and said embarrassedly: "Hubby, wait for Yanzhu to send me a letter, can you not read it?"

Xu Shiqiu never thought that the Young Girl would say something like that. He looked at her and saw her serious expression, then nodded: "Naturally, I won't read the letter Yanzhu wrote to my wife. But did you agree with Yanzhu that the letter was for you? "

"It's a deal, Yanzhu also promised me that she would keep writing me letters." Dong Shu's tone was filled with joy. Seeing that Hubby nodded, she then spoke out, "Yanzhu even said that after I give birth to her, I must write to her as soon as possible so that she will know about it."

"Okay, when you give birth, your husband will write to her immediately."

Xu Shiqiu just looked at Dong Shu until she finished a pomegranate and was about to fall asleep before he sent her off to rest.

"First Miss and Cui Hua have just left their homes. You should pay more attention to Madam. If you discover that Madam is not in a good mood, you must inform me in time."

Xu Shiqiu watched as Ling Xiang finished giving instructions before he left the backyard to take care of matters in the front courtyard.

Dong Shu was currently pregnant and loved to sleep everyday. Although she didn't sleep very long, she had to sleep for a bit every morning and afternoon.

Originally, when she was not pregnant, she could go and learn how to read from Mister Shi in the morning, or talk to Xu Yanzhu in the afternoon, or sew clothes to pass the time on her own at Shihuan Courtyard.

However, after Xu Yanzhu left, although she could still learn from Mister Shi every morning, it would still be a lot harder to endure in the afternoon.

Previously, she could still make clothes for the child in her womb, but after making a few sets, not only did Xu Shiqiu stop making clothes for her, she himself felt that it was boring.

Although she would visit the courtyard of Old Madame Xu every two days to talk with him, the rest of the time she was bored.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu still had the time to chat with Dong Shu every two days, but when Xu Yanzhu left, it was right in time to see the autumn harvest. The manor was busy, and the shop had been busy for quite a few days after the autumn harvest.

Until the beginning of October, Xu Shiqiu finally started to have time to accompany Dong Shu.

In this month, Dong Shu had received three letters from Xu Yanzhu. The latest one was about the things Xu Yanzhu had told him after she arrived in the capital.

"Master, luckily Cui Hua followed Yanzhu to the capital, otherwise she wouldn't even have a helper."

When Dong Shu thought about Xu Yanzhu, she brought up this matter again.

Xu Shiqiu rubbed his legs that were swollen from being pregnant, and after hearing what Dong Shu said, he first looked up at her, and then said: "Yanzhu has been living with Mother for so many years, so he will definitely not get used to living with Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law."

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and continued: "Based on the date, Yanzhu will be married in a few days. The next time she writes a letter, I'm afraid it will be written after she marries into the Jiang Family."

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu was instantly attracted to her as well. Thinking that it would be better for Xu Yanzhu to live happily with her parents after marrying into Jiang Family, Dong Shu hurriedly said to Xu Shiqiu, "Hubby, I'll write a letter to Yanzhu tomorrow, don't worry about me."

"Okay, I will also write to Third Brother Xu Jun, asking him to help out Yanzhu a little more." Xu Shiqiu wanted to quickly divert Young Girl's attention. Every time three days after Yanzhu's letter arrived, his family's Young Girl would always talk about her.

Although Yanzhu is a junior, he is also uncomfortable in his heart.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking. It had already been six months since he was pregnant, and Dong Shu was no longer as comfortable as she was at the start.

Because it was really too comfortable for Xu Shiqiu to pinch her legs, before long, she had fallen asleep.

Capital City

The backyard of Xu Family second house

Xu Yanzhu looked at Cui Hua and asked uncertainly: "Did you really see Jiang Han today?"

"Mn, this servant originally did not recognize Young Master Jiang Family, and it was only because of the servant following behind him that this servant knew that he was Young Master Jiang Family." After Cui Hua finished speaking, he thought for a while before continuing, "It seems that Young Master Jiang Family wanted to inquire about the Miss's matter from this servant, but this servant had yet to speak, and he seemed to have an urgent matter, thus he left very quickly."

"From your description, it should be Jiang Han." Xu Yanzhu had not seen Jiang Han for many years as well. Thinking about the Jiang Han that he knew, Xu Yanzhu shook her head and said: "Grandmother told me that Jiang Han isn't someone who doesn't understand anything on the outside. This point is something that very few people know.

So, if you see Jiang Han again in the future, don't say anything to him.

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Cui Hua hesitated for a moment, before nodding her head and replying, "This lady still has half a month before the marriage, is it alright to meet Young Master Jiang Family now?"

"There's nothing that's inappropriate or inappropriate. Jiang Han and I were cousins in the first place, and we often met when we were young. It was just that after Xu Family moved away from the capital, that's why we didn't have the chance to meet." Xu Yanzhu saw that Cui Hua had finished saying these words, and after seeing her nod, he then continued: "Since Grandmother said that Jiang Han is not ordinary, then I believe that he definitely will not come here simply, and must want to do something."

As Xu Yanzhu was explaining to Cui Hua, in the house with the Jiang Family, the matriarch of Jiang Family also looked at Jiang Han who was below her and asked him why he had to meet Xu Yanzhu before their marriage.

"Mother, I didn't see Yanzhu, I was just going to see my aunt and uncle." After Jiang Han looked at the Jiang Family Mistress had finished speaking, he thought for a while and continued: "However, although I did not see Yanzhu, I saw the servants waiting by her side. Since Yanzhu has a servant serving him, Mother does not need to choose anyone to serve Yanzhu anymore."

Just as Jiang Han finished speaking, the Jiang Family Mistress' hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but tighten.

The better Jiang Han was to Xu Yanzhu, the more unhappy he was at the thought of it.

Why!

"Even if she had someone to serve her, how much could she have? Her Xu Family is currently inferior to before, but our Jiang Family is different from before." After the Jiang Family mistress saw Jiang Han finish speaking, she thought for a while and then continued, "Even if she doesn't have someone serving her, it's time to add someone into your courtyard.

You aren't young either, to this day you don't have a single son, such as Xu Yanzhu who was unable to bear any children after marrying into our family, what should we do? Mother will arrange for two more people to be sent to you. When the time comes, if she is unable to bear a child, and others are pregnant with a child, she can just carry them over and raise them. "

The Jiang Family mistress didn't even give Jiang Han a chance to refuse. After she finished speaking, she directly arranged for two young and beautiful maids to enter Jiang Han's courtyard.

Seeing the Jiang Family Mistress' arrangement, Jiang Han did not speak in the end, but two days had passed, and he still went to the Xu Family.

Xu Yanzhu brought Cui Hua for a walk in the backyard, but who would have thought that Jiang Han would actually appear right in front of her.

"Why are you here again?" Although it had been many years since they last met, Xu Yanzhu still recognized him the moment she saw Jiang Han, "You're looking for me for something?"

"Actually, it's fine. I came to heaven to ask if there's anyone by your side serving you. I came to tell you that Mother arranged for two people to serve you." Jiang Han saw that Xu Yanzhu's eyes were shining as she opened her mouth to speak, but without caring about the other people around him, she continued, "I was worried that you did not know, so I wanted to tell you."

Hearing Jiang Han's words, Xu Yanzhu did not reveal it on the surface, but she was confused.

Jiang Han's words seemed to simply tell her these things, but she had a very strange feeling.

Because Xu Yanzhu could not say how this felt strange, she only looked at Jiang Han in the end and said, "I understand." After saying that, Xu Yanzhu no longer had the mood to continue strolling, and directly turned and left with Cui Hua.

Until Xu Yanzhu was very far away, Jiang Han did not say anything, and only stared at her back.

"Miss, did Young Master Jiang Family really only come to tell you about this today?"

Cui Hua saw that Xu Yanzhu had just finished saying these words in confusion, when Xu Yanzhu shook her head and said, "I don't know what he actually wants to do either, but I can feel that he's definitely not here to simply tell me that her mother has arranged for two people to serve me."

Other than this, Xu Yanzhu still had a faint feeling that the Jiang Han she saw today was different from the one she saw before.

This difference was not only due to the difference in appearance, but also due to the way he looked at her.

Although she had always known that Jiang Han liked her, she was certain that the look in his eyes today was different from before.
