When Xu Family returned to the capital, the first ones to receive the news were Fifth Prince Palace and Jiang Family.
However, as the host of the residence to the west of Xu Family City arrived, the nearby families also received the news that the Xu Family had returned to the capital.
When Xu Family first arrived in the capital, it was already the middle of the afternoon. On the morning of the second day, the people who had worked hard the entire way were still resting.
When the invitation was delivered, it was naturally delivered directly to the Old Madame Xu. But this time, Old Madame Xu did not immediately open it, but asked the servant to call Dong Shu over, and then allowed Dong Shu to open the thread.
"Take a look at these posts. After you finish, I'll tell you what you want to do."
The Old Madame Xu looked at Dong Shu who was sitting beside him and said: "We will rest for the next two days. After I write a note to send to the Spirit Valley Temple, if Master Xuan Ling is free, we can go and pay respects."
After Dong Shu heard this, she subconsciously looked away from the thread in front of him and glanced at her master who was sitting beside him.
Only after seeing her husband nod his head did she continue reading the thread in front of her.
Because the words written on the post weren't in plain words, she still needed to understand, so she was extremely slow.
As Dong Shu continued to read the threads, Xu Shiqiu looked at Old Madame Xu and said: "We still have to meet big sister and Yanzhu first. They waited for so long, and they also received the news when we went to the capital yesterday. It's not good to see them."
"You're right, Yanzhu is still alright, I have not seen your sister for many years and have been thinking about her for a long time." When Old Madame Xu thought about her daughter, whom she had not seen for so many years, she suddenly felt that there were too many things that needed to be arranged as soon as possible.
"Other than wanting to meet up with your sister and Yanzhu, I've received so many posts today. In a few days, there will be a banquet at home, where we will invite them to be guests, and also formally introduce Madame Dong to them. "
Dong Shu just so happened to have finished reading the thread in her hand, before she could even change to look, she heard Old Madame Xu mentioning her.
She opened her eyes and looked at Old Madame Xu. As she was not paying attention to the conversation between her mother-in-law and her husband, she was at a loss.
Seeing Dong Shu reveal such an expression, Old Madame Xu immediately laughed uncontrollably: "I just said that in a few days, my family will have to set up a feast to welcome the families who are on good terms with me, and I will also formally introduce you to them."
Dong Shu had started to get nervous when Old Madame Xu opened his mouth. When Old Madame Xu's voice fell, she asked nervously, "Mother, was it too fast?" After saying that, Dong Shu swallowed her saliva, and continued: I think that it's still not good enough, I need to learn for a few more days.
"My wife." Xu Shiqiu could tell that Dong Shu was nervous, so he reached out to grab her hand before continuing, "My wife, you do not need to worry, I will accompany you when the time comes."
Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu was suddenly pacified.
She raised her head to look at Xu Shiqiu, her crescent eyes curved like crescent moons. "Master, I'll be very happy with you accompanying me."
Seeing such an easy to satisfy Young Girl, Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but laugh and say: "Since my wife is so intelligent, if I were to learn from my mother in the next few days, I will definitely be able to."
Xu Shiqiu's words were effective on Dong Shu, hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately nodded.
Seeing that Madame Dong was easily coaxed by her son, Old Madame Xu could only shake her head in her heart, and then said to Dong Shu: "Don't be afraid, the families that Mother invited back at the beginning were all people with good relations with our Xu Family. Not to mention, your sister will definitely be here when the time comes. With your sister here, those people wouldn't dare to do anything. "
"Mom, don't worry. I will work hard to learn from you. I definitely won't embarrass myself." Dong Shu thought it was very simple. It was her first time meeting these people, so she didn't want to be too outstanding. As long as she didn't give her husband, and didn't embarrass her Xu Family, it was fine.
Old Madame Xu was very satisfied with Dong Shu's answer. She didn't have high requirements for him, as long as she didn't embarrass her.
Her identity was ordinary to begin with, and she had not been taught since she was young. Even if she did not do well, it would not matter.
"Madame Dong, Mother told you that there are three types of people in this world. "Smart people, stupid people, and a kind of stupid person who thinks he's smart." Old Madame Xu looked straight into Dong Shu's eyes and spoke earnestly. Seeing that she was really listening to her words, she continued: "Mother, be honest, it is very difficult for you to be an intelligent person. Your eldest sister-in-law is an intelligent person. As for the fool who thinks he is smart, that is your Second Sister-in-law, you better not learn from her. "Therefore, I might as well just be an idiot and leave it to Shiqiu."
Old Madame Xu looked at Dong Shu seriously. She really felt that it was better for Dong Shu to be an idiot.
After all, she was blessed. Even if there really was something, she would still be blessed to protect her.
Today, Dong Shu did not understand the meaning of Old Madame Xu's words. She needed to wait for the future and slowly understand the deep meaning behind Old Madame Xu's words.
did not understand, but Xu Shiqiu understood.
After Old Madame Xu saw that Xu Shiqiu understood, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued: "In a while, I will write the thread and you will send someone to send it to your sister and Yanzhu tomorrow morning. The day after tomorrow, we will invite them to visit our residence. After we find out about what happened in the capital from your sister, we can decide which families will be invited to visit our residence. "
As soon as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu immediately understood what she meant.
For all the families that had been on good terms with Xu Family and hadn't had contact with them for so many years, there would definitely be situations where some families were no longer willing to befriend them.
Other than this situation, there was another situation where some people continued to befriend others with Xu Family on the surface, but in these past few years, they had already befriended other families whose Xu Family were incompatible.
Regarding these things, he indeed had to ask Xu Nuanwen.
Just as Xu Shiqiu was talking about all these, Dong Shu had finally finished reading all of the posts that Old Madame Xu had given her.
"Mom, I've finished reading all these posts." After Dong Shu finished reading, she had already understood all the contents of the posts, "Mother, although the contents of the posts are different, but the underlying meaning is not to invite you over, but to ask when you can come visit."
"Not bad, you did well." After the Old Madame Xu praised Dong Shu for a while, she then said: "Although these posts were sent by different people, but their general meaning is only these two."
After saying that, the Old Madame Xu got the servant to change the tea leaves on her hands into a cup. She then looked at Dong Shu and continued: "However, there is no need to reply today, because when these servants sent their posts, they had already asked for information from the servants. The servants have replied that we need a few more days to tidy up, so we can reply to these posts two days later.
You have already seen these posts today, so you should prepare two posts, one for your sister and one for Yanzhu. They would send someone to deliver it to their residence tomorrow morning, inviting them to come visit the day after tomorrow.
"Your sister's post asked her to bring Brother Huan'er and the others with her. It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Huan'er."
Speaking of Xu Nuanwen and her children, Old Madame Xu naturally thought of Xu Nuanwen's youngest son, Ye Xuan.
"Sigh, when your sister was pregnant with Xuan Ge'er, something happened at home. Xuan Ge'er was born only seven months ago, and has had a weak body since childhood. I also left the capital at the time, and have yet to meet him. " When he thought about how his grandson had been sick for so many years and his daughter had always been watching over him, Old Madame Xu felt especially upset.
"Mother, big sister and little nephew will be fine. "My nephew was young before, but now that he's old, his body will definitely be healthy and healthy." Seeing Old Madame Xu's sad expression, Dong Shu subconsciously opened her mouth to console her.
Only after she finished saying that did Dong Shu come back to her senses. She remembered what her husband had told him before.
She looked at Xu Shiqiu with slight hesitation, opened her mouth wide and finally opened her mouth: "Husband, what I just said, will it become true?"
Xu Shiqiu did not expect his own Young Girl to ask such a question to him. After pausing slightly, he asked without answering: "Then, my wife, what do you think?"
After hearing what Xu Shiqiu had said, Dong Shu was so nervous that she did not know how to speak up for a while.
Seeing that she did not say anything, neither Hubby nor Granny had the intention to speak. Only then did Dong Shu muster up the courage to speak, "I think it will become true. Elder sister is so kind, she has taken care of little nephew for so many years, the little nephew's body will definitely grow as long as possible. "
Seemingly trying to cheer herself up, after saying that, Dong Shu did not forget to nod her head.
Seeing Dong Shu do such a thing, Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu only felt that it was extremely cute.
However, what made them the happiest were the things that Dong Shu had just said.
The two of them already believed that Dong Shu was someone who was blessed. Moreover, as long as she spoke those words honestly, the matter would definitely turn out like what she said.
Seeing that her mother-in-law and her husband were both smiling, Dong Shu smiled embarrassedly.
"Mom, can I bring these posts back? I'm afraid that I might not be able to write it properly, so I want to go back and carefully study it. Dong Shu saw the fatigue on Old Madame Xu's face and quickly spoke up.
Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu also realised his mother's exhaustion, "Mother, Yuanxi is still in Shihuan Courtyard, let's go back today. After his wife has finished writing her piece in the afternoon, we'll come over to your place to accompany you to eat tonight."
"Alright, all of you should go back and rest." When she thought about how her little granddaughter was still in the Shihuan Courtyard, she opened her mouth and reminded, "When you come tonight, you must remember to bring Yuanxi here. I miss her."
Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu immediately nodded.
Xu Shiqiu held onto Dong Shu, and with the invitation he read just now, they walked towards the Shihuan Courtyard.
The houses in the capital were very similar to the houses in Xiahe Village, but each courtyard was much larger, and there were also a few gardens and servants residences.
Dong Shu had just followed Xu Shiqiu to the entrance of Shihuan Courtyard when she saw the pomegranate tree in the courtyard.
There were already small fruits on the pomegranate tree. There were more than thirty pomegranate trees in the entire yard. Not only were there pomegranate trees in the front yard, but a pomegranate tree had also been planted in the back.
The pomegranate tree in the backyard was the same as the Xiahe Village pomegranate tree. Although there was only one pomegranate tree in the backyard, Dong Shu still liked the pomegranate tree more.
Seeing this pomegranate tree, Dong Shu thought about how excited she was when she saw it yesterday, when she had just arrived here.
Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu was staring at the pomegranate tree, and immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Didn't my wife say yesterday that she really liked this pomegranate tree? " After saying that, without waiting for Dong Shu to speak, Xu Shiqiu immediately continued, "If my wife does not like it, I will dig this tree out."
"How could I not like it?" When Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she hurriedly opened her mouth, and when she could clearly see the playful expression on Master's face, she immediately flew into a rage out of embarrassment, "Master knows how to tease me. Even though this tree wasn't personally planted by Hubby, when I see this tree, I would think about the pomegranate tree that Hubby had personally planted in Xiahe Village. "
After saying that, Dong Shu did not look at Xu Shiqiu anymore. She snorted coldly and turned, walking back into the house.
The capital's Shihuan Courtyard was very high. There were five main rooms in the rear courtyard, as well as an ear room, a side room, and a back seat.
However, once they reached the capital, Shihuan Courtyard would have many servants, and although there would be many houses, as long as Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu continued to have children, the courtyard would be full.
Just as Dong Shu walked to the entrance of the main house, Ling Xiang who was waiting in the house to clean up came out quickly and looked at Dong Shu: "Madam, Big Sister Cui Hua just sent a messenger saying that she misses Madam, I wonder when Madam will meet her."
Hearing Ling Xiang's words, Dong Shu suddenly remembered that she not only wanted to see her sister and Yanzhu, but also Cui Hua.
Thinking of Cui Hua, Dong Shu immediately walked to the study room, and prepared to write a thread for her sister, this way she would be able to see Cui Hua earlier.
