Although Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, looking at his expression right now, he could still sense's thoughts.
She really wanted to say something, but she could see that Xu Shiqiu's gaze on her was just too overbearing, thus she hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she could not say anything.
Xu Shiqiu could guess what he was thinking from the change in Dong Shu's expression, but he endured it and did not speak up.
Seeing that Xu Shiqiu did not say anything, Dong Shu thought that she had escaped a calamity.
But they never thought that after they had all washed and Yuanxi had fallen asleep first, Xu Shiqiu would actually use some unknown method to allow her to undress in a daze.
When he noticed that Yuanxi's rations had been finished, it was already the middle of the night. When Yuanxi woke up, he wanted to drink his milk.
Dong Shu half consciously untied her shirt and hugged Yuanxi. After Yuanxi went over to drink for a long time, she still hadn't eaten her fill and started to wail unhappily. Only then did Dong Shu completely wake up.
"What's wrong? Why is Yuanxi crying? " Xu Shiqiu was also woken up by Yuanxi's wailing. He opened his eyes and wanted to reach out to hug Yuanxi, but he was instantly angered and immediately swung his arms.
Because his arm had been swung away by Young Girl, Xu Shiqiu immediately became clear-headed.
"My wife, what's wrong?"
After hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, Dong Shu directly snorted coldly at him, "Hmph!" After she finished humming, Dong Shu continued to look at Xu Shiqiu: "Yuanxi can't drink milk now, she's too hungry, hurry up and think of a way."
After saying that, Dong Shu no longer looked at Xu Shiqiu, but used the weak candle flame in the room to stare straight at Yuanxi who was in her embrace.
It was only now that Xu Shiqiu realized that his Young Girl was truly angry.
Dong Shu could feel Xu Shiqiu's gaze on his, but in her heart, she was angry, and was truly unwilling to pay any attention to Xu Shiqiu.
She had originally thought that Xu Shiqiu would keep looking at her in this way, but who knew that in the next instant, Xu Shiqiu had already embraced her from behind.
"My wife, I was in the wrong this time." Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu did not have any sort of reaction.
Xu Shiqiu, who was embracing Dong Shu, saw that she was still angry after she had spoken out. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "My wife, I will definitely not steal Yuanxi's food in the future."
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately asked: "Can you really do what you say?" After asking this question, Dong Shu realized that she shouldn't have spoken up so quickly.
However, Xu Shiqiu was extremely happy when he heard Dong Shu's words. After Dong Shu's voice fell, he nodded and said, "Of course." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu then continued to speak seriously: "However, my wife, there is something I want to tell you as well."
Xu Shiqiu thought about it seriously and felt that he should explain this matter to the Young Girl as soon as possible today.
Otherwise, there was a possibility that the two of them might have a conflict in the future over how to raise Yuanxi.
Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was going to say to her. She saw that Xu Shiqiu had already promised her that he wouldn't do what he did today, so she naturally wouldn't get angry at Xu Shiqiu any longer.
"Tell me, and I'll listen." After Dong Shu said these words to Xu Shiqiu, Yuanxi who was in her embrace also fell asleep due to her.
However, she understood that Yuanxi was asleep now, and would wake up very soon. After all, she hadn't eaten her fill just now, so she would definitely have to eat again later.
Xu Shiqiu also understood that Yuanxi was going to wake up soon, so he quickly opened his mouth: "My wife, you had nothing to do during the Xiahe Village earlier, I didn't say anything about you bringing Yuanxi along at night. After all, Yuanxi was still young, so you should bring her along while we personally look after her. That way, we can truly be a bit more at ease. "
After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu's face, seeing that she was not dissatisfied, he then continued: "But now, we have reached the capital. Not to mention the people like us in the capital, the children have been taken care of by a wet nurse since childhood. Even if you have more and more matters to take care of during the day, you basically wouldn't have the energy to take care of Yuanxi during the night as well. "
Xu Shiqiu had always paid attention to Dong Shu's expression and after he finished saying all this, Dong Shu's expression instantly became sad. He then sighed and continued, "I had originally planned to find a wet nurse for our Yuanxi, and we'll take care of Yuanxi in the future.
When you have time in the future, you can take advantage of that time to hug Yuanxi tightly and increase your relationship with him. But normally, you wouldn't have the energy to take care of matters of the family while bringing Yuanxi. "
When Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, Dong Shu did not speak for a long time.
"Actually, I understand everything that you've said, hubby." Dong Shu suppressed the tears in his eyes and after looking at Yuanxi who had tears in his eyes, she continued to speak: "It's just that I had always been the one who brought Yuanxi. Now that I have to stop her and take care of my family matters, I am truly reluctant."
After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a moment, then continued to speak in a low voice: "Moreover, right now, there aren't that many things my family needs me to take care of. I still have time to take care of Yuanxi."
Xu Shiqiu immediately understood what he meant.
Young Girl felt that he was able to take care of the family matters, and wanted to take care of Yuanxi as well.
If it was anyone else who did not listen to his advice, Xu Shiqiu would definitely make her listen to him. But right now, what he was facing was his Young Girl.
It was someone he could not bear to treat like this.
Dong Shu should have also noticed Xu Shiqiu's loosen up, she raised her head and blinked her eyes as she stared at Xu Shiqiu, like a puppy waiting for its master's pampering.
"Hubby, we still have time, and Yuanxi is very obedient. I want us to accompany Yuanxi as she grows up, so that when Yuanxi grows up in the future, we can tell her together about the things that happened when she was young. " As Dong Shu said this, she imagined the scenes that would happen in the future in her mind, "We will grow up together with Yuanxi, and personally participate in her growth. These words were even what you said to me before."
Xu Shiqiu had guessed what she was going to say the moment Dong Shu opened his mouth. But unfortunately, he could not open his mouth to stop her, nor could he say that what she said was wrong.
Especially when Young Girl looked at him with such a gaze, he truly did not have any way to say no.
Dong Shu had been staring at Xu Shiqiu, and the moment she saw Xu Shiqiu's helpless expression, she knew that she had moved him.
"Master, in the future, if Yuanxi hears you, she will still need to be brought by her mistress. It's just that if I have time, you can't stop me from taking care of Yuanxi, okay?" After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while and still didn't forget to add, "Also, hubby, bring Yuanxi along when you're free. Otherwise, be careful or else Yuanxi might not like you in the future."
When Xu Shiqiu heard this, he knew that she was saying it on purpose.
However, he couldn't say anything bad about it.
After Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu finished talking about this, he stood up, put on his clothes and carried Yuanxi out the door. They arrived in front of the wet nurse's house and called for her.
The wet nurse had always taken care of Yuanxi, and was well aware that Yuanxi's appetite had increased.
Hearing the noise outside the door, she did not ask any further questions and directly went out to fetch Yuanxi, who had not woken up yet, into her arms.
Looking at Yuanxi who was in the nurse's arms, Dong Shu pressed a hand on the hem of Yuanxi's clothes around her neck, then looked at her and said: "When Yuanxi wakes up, wipe her face with warm water." After saying that, seeing that the wet nurse nodded, Dong Shu continued, "In a few days, I will first choose two maids for Yuanxi, at that time, they will follow you to take care of Yuanxi."
Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu followed, "I will also pick a wet nurse, and you will bring her along to take care of Yuanxi. You must definitely feed Yuanxi to her heart's content." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu then opened his mouth to add: "At that time, I will also increase your monthly allowance. You must take care of Yuanxi carefully, and I will also take care of your man's matters together with you."
When Xu Shiqiu first opened his mouth, Yuanxi's wet nurse's heart jumped. She thought that she did not do well, and thought that Xu Shiqiu was looking for someone to divide her work.
But when Xu Shiqiu finished, she understood his meaning.
"Young Master, Madam, don't worry. This servant will definitely take good care of you."
Hearing his words, Xu Shiqiu then pulled the reluctant Dong Shu back to the main room to continue sleeping.
Because of Yuanxi's crying at night, Dong Shu woke up a little late on the second day. When she woke up, Wang's Disease had already left for Fifth Prince's Palace.
"I haven't read the gift slip yet." Dong Shu sat in front of the dresser, combed her hair and said to Xu Shiqiu who was looking at the books behind him.
"I saw it. No problem." Xu Shiqiu did not raise his head, but he did not forget to reply to Dong Shu.
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu heaved a sigh of relief.
After Dong Shu combed her hair and quickly ate breakfast, she then walked toward the Main Yard with Xu Shiqiu.
As for Yuanxi, she was carried by her wet nurse as she followed behind them.
Now that they had reached the capital, according to the rules, Xu Shiqiu would naturally bring Dong Shu to pay respects every morning.
Today, Dong Shu still had a lot of things to learn, so she let the wet nurse carry Yuanxi here. Later, she could even bring Yuanxi back first.
The moment Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu arrived at Old Madame Xu's Main Yard, Old Madame Xu looked at Dong Shu and asked, "Why do you not seem to have slept soundly?"
Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu thought about what happened last night.
She thought for a moment, then opened her mouth and told Old Madame Xu about what she and Xu Shiqiu discussed last night.
Earlier, when nothing happened at the Xiahe Village, you personally took care of Yuanxi. But now that you have reached the capital, you will need to become the Sect Leader in the future. You truly do not have time to take care of Yuanxi. " The most important thing was that the mistress of the family whom their Xu Family interacted with had always been learning about housekeeping since a young age, so Dong Shu didn't have much time left.
Their Xu Family had already returned to the capital, so even if she could appear as the butler right now, the one who would need to interact with the young madams of the various families, would definitely be Dong Shu.
If he didn't learn now, when they spoke together in the future, he would reveal his cowardice.
Dong Shu also understood Old Madame Xu's words. She had told her everything that Xu Shiqiu had told her.
So when she saw that the Old Madame Xu was looking at him, Dong Shu immediately said: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely do it well. I will definitely not disappoint you and Hubby."
Seeing Dong Shu's fighting spirit, Old Madame Xu did not say much.
They only spoke a few words, waited for Old Madame Xu to play with Yuanxi for a while, and the person who went to send them off came back.
"Old Madame, Fifth Prince's Concubine and Young Madam Jiang both said that they would come and pay their respects to you tomorrow morning."
After the servant woman saw Old Madame Xu finish her words, she then looked towards Dong Shu who was seated at the side and said: "Third Madame, the Fifth Prince's Concubine and Young Lady Jiang both really like the gift you gave us."
Hearing the servant's words, Old Madame Xu then knew that Dong Shu had bought a few more gifts that she had prepared.
Dong Shu felt Old Madame Xu's gaze on him and hurriedly explained, "They were all bought on the road using some of the Xiahe Village's native products, so I can't prepare them as meticulously as Mother."
"Don't worry, you did well." Old Madame Xu just did not expect Dong Shu to be able to think about these things so early. After all, there were some people who could not remember these things.
"Since you've already thought of this step, I can teach you more." After Old Madame Xu saw Dong Shu finish speaking, she immediately got the servants behind her to pass her the menu in front of Dong Shu.
After Dong Shu received the menu, she immediately began to study it, and very quickly, she began to understand the arrangements on the menu.
"About half of this menu is what we like to eat, there are a few dishes that Yanzhu likes, and I think the rest are what big sister likes."
Dong Shu was very confident in her words, and sure enough, after she finished, the Old Madame Xu nodded at her with a smile.
Because Dong Shu had guessed the arrangement of the menu, the Old Madame Xu let the servants by her side bring him to the kitchen to have a look.
"You don't need to personally go to the buying arrangements, it's usually the servants by your side who go to the kitchen to take a look. Of course, you also have to be sure that your servant woman will do these things with all her heart. "Although these are all small matters, there will often be a major event that we are unable to accomplish properly."
Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu immediately nodded, and then said: "Mother, don't worry, I understand." The more Dong Shu spoke, the more confident she became. Right now, she felt that the butler job wasn't that difficult, and she could learn it very quickly.
Only, Dong Shu did not think that she would encounter a big problem in the kitchen that she was unable to solve at the moment.
