When Dong Shu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she understood what she meant. After she nodded her head to Old Madame Xu, Old Madame Xu opened her mouth again and said, "I have already ordered people to prepare the gifts for Fifth Prince's Palace and Jiang Family. "You can look at the gift sheet later and learn from it. I'll teach you next time."
Old Madame Xu did not expect Dong Shu to be able to finish writing the post in one go, so she did not teach her the matter of preparing the present.
Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu did not have any objections, and only nodded obediently.
Seeing that Young Girl did not say anything, and his mother did not have the intention to speak either, Xu Shiqiu then told Old Madame Xu everything that happened today.
"We do need to do this. We also need to invite Second Uncle Xu's family over for a meal. We also need to invite a few people of status to witness this as well." Old Madame Xu naturally did not lie to Xu Er, she also sincerely wanted to be associated with Xu Er's family.
What's more, when Xu Shiqiu did things, even Xu Er's grandson had helped him a lot, so she wouldn't be able to do them all.
"Then Mother, when do you think it's appropriate to arrange this matter? In the past few days, he had been collecting wheat from the manor, so he was afraid that he did not have the time to do so. Uncle Xu also has his own territory, and I'm afraid he doesn't have the time either. " Xu Shiqiu saw that the Old Madame Xu had just finished speaking, and didn't even wait for him to open his mouth before he continued, "I think, other than tomorrow's meeting, the most important thing to do is to find out if Master Xuan Ling is free."
Hearing Xu Shiqiu talk about Master Xuan Ling, Old Madame Xu guessed his intentions.
"In the autumn, we cannot rush to see this matter regarding the Master Xuan Ling." Old Madame Xu understood the grievance of Xu Shiqiu, as a man, being forced to stay in the Back Residence for so many years.
Perhaps he did not want to cause a big ruckus, but he absolutely did not want to hide behind his family when something happened.
Especially since he was definitely not willing to hide behind Dong Shu.
Thinking about it here, Old Madame Xu said straightforwardly, "When I see your sister the next day, I'll ask her if she knows anything about Master Xuan Ling. If she has any news, Mother will definitely help you make an appointment with the Master Xuan Ling as soon as possible. "
"Mom, I'll have to trouble you with this matter." Xu Shiqiu did not pretend to say that he was unwilling. Right now, the most urgent thing for him to do was to see the Master Xuan Ling who helped him die.
When he was young, his life was clearly a boy's. Could it be that Young Girl's luck could really suppress his bad luck?
Dong Shu had been sitting at the side the entire time. She really wanted to say something, but when she thought about how the Master Xuan Ling's identity was not ordinary, she hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she didn't manage to say anything.
When Xu Shiqiu came back to his senses, he also realized that Dong Shu was hesitating. For a moment, he wanted to ask the Young Girl, but he was worried that asking would affect her fortune, so he endured it in the end.
Dong Shu actually did not know that Xu Shiqiu had become conflicted. After she had regained his senses, Xu Shiqiu had already withdrawn his previous expression.
The two of them brought Yuanxi and had dinner at Old Madame Xu's place before hugging him and walking back to the Shihuan Courtyard.
Right after returning to the Shihuan Courtyard, Dong Shu told Ling Xiang to call her mother over.
"Madam, please wait a moment." Hearing that Dong Shu wanted to call her mother, Ling Xiang's eyes lit up and quickly left the house, walking quickly towards her mother's room.
Looking at Ling Xiang's happy back, Dong Shu's lips did not rise at all. Xu Shiqiu had already told her: "Tomorrow, we will still need to choose a new servant woman to serve us."
Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu turned and looked at him in puzzlement.
"The head maid by your side is Ling Xiang, and the main servant in the backyard is her mother. It's very easy for the two of them to hide anything from us." Although Xu Shiqiu did not care about these things before, he still understood this simple logic.
Dong Shu originally did not know about this, but after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she immediately understood.
Seeing that Xu Shiqiu still wanted to speak, she noticed the footsteps outside and immediately shut his mouth.
Wang's Disease followed Ling Xiang into the house. Her footsteps were steadier than Ling Xiang's.
From the moment she returned to the capital, Li Clan had said that she needed to return to Main Yard to serve them. She had guessed that she would be heavily valued, but she had not expected that it would happen so quickly.
However, Wang's Disease kept his head down, and did not reveal his expression.
As Dong Shu saw sher appear, he immediately said, "Tomorrow morning, you will go out with the people from Mother's place to the Fifth Prince Palace and deliver the Jiang Family." After saying all that, and remembering what the Old Madame Xu had told him, Dong Shu continued: "In a while, go to the storehouse and take a look. Although Mother has already prepared a gift, it wasn't prepared by us. All of our good things were sent by Big Sister and Yanzhu, so you should have the choice of buying the land we brought with us from Xiahe Village or on the way there. "
Dong Shu's words were said very clearly, but actually, Wang's Disease had already understood her the moment she had opened her mouth.
"Don't worry, Madam." Wang's Disease replied Dong Shu with respect as she nodded.
Seeing Wang's Disease nod her head confidently, Dong Shu then continued to speak: "Madame Li will wait two more days before continuing to serve Mother, I will find someone else to help you, in the future, when we add more people to our Shihuan Courtyard, you and Ling Xiang will have to teach them some manners."
"Don't worry, Madam." Wang's Disease understood her meaning immediately after hearing Dong Shu's words, she was not dissatisfied. Because she understood that the rear courtyard of Shihuan Courtyard could not be completely handed over to the two of them.
Ling Xiang also heard what Dong Shu said, and she actually wanted to say something.
But she also understood that the Madam was talking to her mother, so she couldn't interrupt.
Therefore, Ling Xiang could only suppress these words in her heart, and prepared to ask her mother about it after she left.
Dong Shu was very satisfied with Wang's Disease's attitude. After she finished saying two things, she told her to leave immediately.
When both Wang's Disease and Ling Xiang had left, Dong Shu then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Husband, I think that other than the servants, we should also get a few young maids. Now that the Shihuan Courtyard has grown, Ling Xiang will not be able to clean it up by herself. " After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a moment, then continued: "And choose a few three or four year old girls from the village and the children in the family."
Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu understood her meaning, "My wife, do you want to choose a little girl for Yuanxi?"
"Hmm, find a few of them and observe them carefully." Since they were young, they have been raised together with Yuanxi. In the future, they will definitely be loyal to him. "
Dong Shu would understand this matter later, only then did Old Madame Xu find out about the matter of Xu Family leaving the capital last time she prepared the dowry for Xu Yanzhu.
Back then, when Xu Yanzhu was young, she had two little girls who grew up together, and were two or three years older than her.
Since Yanzhu had it, then Yuanxi should have it too.
Dong Shu was now more and more like the main wife of a rich family, not like how she felt at the start, that it was not good to hire people to serve her.
She felt that she could save a few people for her service, but her family's Yuanxi, had to have these.
Xu Shiqiu was also very much in favor of Dong Shu's words, "Then, remember this matter, when the time comes, we will choose our candidate." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that Second Uncle Xu's granddaughters are not suitable for their age, otherwise, they would have to be brought home to be raised, and Yuanxi would also have sisters around the same age to play."
Dong Shu did not have as many things as Xu Shiqiu thought, but she still nodded along with Xu Shiqiu, and said: "If there's none, then there's none, it's fine to directly choose the two little girls from the manor or the little girl from home."
Yuanxi's wet nurse gave birth to a son, otherwise, there would be a little girl around the same age as Yuanxi.
"Then we'll remember this matter. We'll arrange it when the time comes." Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking, and after seeing her nod, he then continued: "My wife, follow your habits, tomorrow morning, you will send a message to elder sister and Yanzhu, in the afternoon, we will prepare what will happen to them the next time they come."
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately nodded.
Seeing Dong Shu nod her head, Xu Shiqiu then continued to speak meaningfully: "So, my wife, we should rest earlier tonight, if not you would not be energetic tomorrow." While talking, Xu Shiqiu glanced at Yuanxi who was in his wife's embrace and said: "Yuanxi is going to let her mother carry you tonight. Otherwise, if she makes trouble for you tonight, you won't be able to sleep well."
Xu Shiqiu spoke in a righteous tone, but when Dong Shu heard his words, she subconsciously wanted to nod her head.
But in the next moment, Dong Shu suddenly remembered what happened last night.
"Forget it, Yuanxi will sleep with us tonight. I want to bring her along to sleep." Dong Shu said as she avoided Xu Shiqiu's gaze.
Xu Shiqiu guessed what he was thinking when he heard his, he understood that she must have been afraid of him eating all of Yuanxi's food because of what happened last night.
It was just that he had already tasted it once, and it was rather difficult for him to give up.
