The majority of the dishes on the menu prepared by the Old Madame Xu were all in the manor with Xu Family s.

The manor was currently sending fresh dishes to the capital every morning. There was no need for the kitchen to worry about these.

However, the small amount of food left on the menu was something that needed to be prepared beforehand.

"Third Madame, it's not that I don't want to cook, it's that these dishes on the menu all need to be prepared two to three days in advance." The kitchen chef was brought in front of Dong Shu by Wang's Disease, and after respectfully speaking these words, he lowered his head, not saying another word.

Dong Shu did not speak up in time after listening to the chef's words. Instead, she first looked at Wang's Disease and waited for the latter to give her an undetectable nod. Then, she looked at the chef and said, "Then, are there any substitutes for this kind of dish that cannot be cooked?"

"Third Madame, I'm afraid not." After the kitchen maid replied softly with these words, she thought for a while before continuing, "These few dishes are all things that the Fifth Prince's Concubine likes to eat. I'm afraid there's no place for ordinary dishes."

As soon as the chef finished speaking, Dong Shu understood the meaning of her words.

At the same time, Dong Shu also started to think about Grandma's intention for arranging things this way.

This was not the first time Granny had done these things. Presumably, she clearly understood that these ingredients needed to be prepared in advance.

But since Granny knew, if she still made such arrangements, she must have guessed that she would not be able to handle this matter well in the end.

Nanny would not deliberately make things difficult for her, so Nanny definitely wanted to use today's matter to make him understand these things. Perhaps it was just to see how she would respond?

Dong Shu felt that she had guessed correctly. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to think of another possibility.

After thinking this through, Dong Shu told the kitchen maid to go back to see if there were any more ingredients that could be used in the kitchen, and also told Wang's Disease to follow them and write them down along the way.

After the chef and the Wang's Disease left, Dong Shu then looked at Xu Shiqiu who was hugging Yuanxi and said, "I still need to go to my mother's place later on, will my husband still want to follow me?"

"Mm, I'll go too." Xu Shiqiu had been sitting beside Dong Shu this entire time, so when the kitchen maid had spoken out to him earlier, he knew that the Young Girl would go and find his mother soon.

Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and continued to speak: "Does my wife have any ideas on how to take care of this?"

"Nope." Dong Shu did not hide the truth from Xu Shiqiu, and she indeed could not think of any good method.

After all, she didn't understand Xu Nuanwen and couldn't decide for herself what the menu was.

Just as he was thinking about it, Dong Shu's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Xu Shiqiu and asked, "Do you know what other dishes sister would like to eat?"

Xu Shiqiu never thought that Young Girl would react so quickly to think of asking him.

"Actually, elder sister does not like to eat a lot of food, but she has always liked to eat exquisite food." Xu Shiqiu thought about the matter of his sister picking flowers and eating them, and quickly told Dong Shu about it, "When I was young, I liked to pick flowers and eat flowers with the servants. You can ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes with fresh flowers. I'm sure big sister will like it. "

When Dong Shu finished speaking, she immediately answered: "Then I'll ask Ling Xiang to find the Wang's Disease right now, and ask her if the chef knows how to make dishes with lotus flowers and gardenia."

Dong Shu did as she was told, without waiting for Xu Shiqiu to speak anymore, she directly went to the door and called Ling Xiang over, giving him some instructions.

When Ling Xiang hurried towards the kitchen, Dong Shu looked at him and said, "Hubby, do you think Mother is purposely testing me this time?"

Xu Shiqiu did not expect Dong Shu to think up to this point. After he gave her a slight nod, he then said: "Mother should understand all of this, and purposely allows you to understand all of this." After she finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu thought for a moment before continuing, "But Mother shouldn't have known that I would actually remember the matters of Elder Sister's youth."

After all, even though he had always been in the backyard, he was always alone in the Shihuan Courtyard. He rarely went out, and even if he met his family members, he would voluntarily avoid them.

At first, Dong Shu did not know about this, but when the Wang's Disease brought back the substitute menu that she and the kitchen maid had prepared, and when she and Xu Shiqiu went to the Main Yard to find the Old Madame Xu to explain their own arrangements, she could tell that something was amiss from the expression the Old Madame Xu was showing when looking at Xu Shiqiu.

"Your plan isn't bad. Since you've done well in this matter, you can continue to do it." After Old Madame Xu said this to Dong Shu, she looked at Xu Shiqiu's face with a hesitant expression.

Xu Shiqiu also noticed the change in his mother's expression, but he did not speak out. After all, speaking of these things again was rather sad.

Old Madame Xu didn't bring up this matter, she only gave Dong Shu a detailed plan for tomorrow, and also told her that she would be eating at her courtyard tomorrow. After that, she still had to talk to Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu.

Dong Shu listened attentively the entire time the Old Madame Xu was speaking out, and then quickly thought about what she should do tomorrow.

After confirming the procedures for tomorrow with the Old Madame Xu, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu finally returned to the Shihuan Courtyard.

Only, Xu Shiqiu did not expect his mother to not say anything. When he returned to the Shihuan Courtyard, the Young Girl looked at him, wanting to say something, but stopped.

"My wife has something to ask me?"

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu revealed an embarrassed smile, but she thought for a bit before speaking, "Actually, Hubby is a very attentive person."

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu immediately understood what she meant.

"It's just that I get bored every day, and when I discover anything, I'll keep it in my heart." Xu Shiqiu did not speak the truth. In fact, after he discovered that his sister liked to pick flowers and eat flowers, he would stare at his sister for the next few days every year to see what kind of flowers her sister would pick and how she would eat.

His previous life had been too boring, and watching over his sister for a while every year had added a bit of fun to it.

Seeing Xu Shiqiu say this, Dong Shu stopped pursuing the matter, and instead took Xu Shiqiu's hand. Bringing him to the wardrobe, he asked him what kind of dress he was going to wear tomorrow.

"What color do you think I'm wearing, hubby?" After asking this question, Dong Shu took the initiative to speak without waiting for Xu Shiqiu to speak: "Yanzhu has taught me so much before. When we meet tomorrow, I must let her see how much I have changed."

Upon hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu took the initiative to gaze at the row of clothes in front of his.

These dresses were all brought from the Xiahe Village, it was just that more than half of them were definitely made after coming to the capital.

"Yanzhu is definitely wearing a green or blue dress, big sister likes bright colors, you wear this red half arm, the lotus flower embroidered is also in the moon."

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu instantly found the dress he was talking about within the row of dresses.

"Well chosen, then I'll wear this tomorrow." Dong Shu watched as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking and then pulled him by the hand to the dressing table, allowing him to choose the jewelry for him.

Xu Shiqiu had already detected Young Girl's intentions, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he followed her lead and finished choosing the jewelry.

Waiting until Xu Shiqiu and the others finished what she wanted to do, Dong Shu then led Yuanxi who had eaten her fill and woke up to accompany Xu Shiqiu to handle the matters.

Because the morning of the second day was about to welcome Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu home, on this night, Xu Shiqiu did not cause trouble.

Dong Shu rested well, and got up early the next day.

On the morning of the second day, when Xu Shiqiu was training, not only did she give him a half arm the color of water, he also gave him a half arm that was the same as hers, though much smaller.

After Xu Shiqiu finished his morning practice, he took a bath and changed his clothes. When he walked out, he immediately saw Dong Shu sitting on a chair with Yuanxi in his arms, waiting for him.

Almost the same dress, the same crescent moon shaped eyes, the moment they saw him, they all smiled like two crescent moons.

"My wife, when did Yuanxi's dress become?"

Xu Shiqiu had just finished asking Dong Shu these words, when Dong Shu directly replied back, "The dresses that I made earlier were all made with the same clothes that I made for Yuanxi using the leftover materials. It's just that I don't know how to embroider, so Yuanxi's dress doesn't have such beautiful embroidery. "

Only after hearing Dong Shu's voice did Xu Shiqiu realize that the dress that Yuanxi was wearing did not have any embroidery on it.

But even so, seeing his own Young Girl and his daughter wearing the same coloured dress and looking at him with the same eyes, Xu Shiqiu felt extremely blessed.

Not only Xu Shiqiu, but even the Old Madame Xu was attracted to the gazes of Dong Shu and Yuanxi who wore identical clothes.

"Madame Dong's dress is not bad, Yuanxi looks really good wearing it."

After the Old Madame Xu praised Dong Shu, Dong Shu lowered her head in embarrassment.

Dong Shu really did not expect that the dress that she had only taken the time to make would actually be praised.

When Xu Qinqiu and Xu Yanzhu arrived at the Xu Family, they were also instantly attracted by the clothes worn by Dong Shu and Dong Shu.

"This is my little niece. She looks really good." Xu Nuanwen and Xu Shiqiu were the most similar of the four children born in Old Madame Xu.

Xu Tianyi didn't have a daughter. Looking at the little niece in Dong Shu's arms that looked somewhat similar to her, he suddenly felt as if he had a daughter.

Xu Nuanwen didn't care about Xu Shiqiu's cold stare, and directly reached out and pulled Yuanxi, who was in his embrace, into his own embrace.

Yuanxi did not recognize her as well, and stared at Xu Nuanwen's face, then cutely leaned his head on her chest.

Because of Yuanxi's action, Xu Nuanwen looked at Xu Shiqiu proudly: "Shiqiu, I don't have a daughter. I feel that Yuanxi and I are fated to be together, why not … "

"No, don't even think about it. I don't want to!"

Before Xu Nuanwen could finish speaking, she had already expressed her rejection towards her.

Xu Nuanwen never thought that Xu Shiqiu would still have such a temper even after so many years had passed. After coldly snorting, she looked at Dong Shu and said: "It's been hard on you, sister-in-law.

When Dong Shu heard Aunt Sister's words, her face immediately flushed red.

She did not expect that, as the of the Fifth Prince's Concubine, her relationship with her husband would be like this.

However, because of Xu Nuanwen's lively personality, Dong Shu quickly forgot about the initial nervousness.

After Xu Nuanwen finished praising Dong Shu, Xu Yanzhu also took the initiative to go in front of her aunt, stared at her little cousin, and then earnestly evaluated: "Yuanxi is more like the Third Aunt, he will definitely be a lucky man in the future."

The moment Xu Yanzhu finished her sentence, Xu Shiqiu immediately laughed and said, "It's still Yanzhu who knows how to speak." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu deliberately gave a cold snort to Xu Nuanwen.

Seeing the way Xu Nuanwen and Xu Shiqiu were getting along, the corners of Old Madame Xu's mouth kept on carrying a smile.

She was truly happy. The two of them had not seen each other for so many years, but she never expected their relationship to be so good.

That being the case, there were some things that she could trust her daughter to do without worry.
