Xu Shiqiu's heart was burning. He had already verified that the Young Girl was not by his side, but with the locust tree imp, his bad luck was being suppressed a little.

Before, when there were no locust wooden figurines, when he met other people, they either fell and broke their legs or broke their hands.

But today, apart from the two servants who had seen him kneel down, all that was left was a cramp and a numbness in his feet. The worst one of them had been knocked against the door frame, making him feel a little dizzy.

However, Xu Shiqiu felt that the person who bumped into the doorframe was very likely to be scared, since the door was right there. It must be because he did not see it clearly that he crashed into it.

After experiencing the various situations from before, the things that happened today, were nothing in Xu Shiqiu's eyes.

When Dong Shu understood what happened just now, she immediately smiled and looked at Xu Shiqiu: "Then I really congratulate my master for achieving his wish. In the future, when I wipe off the blood of the little person from the locust tree regularly, I will definitely be able to stop half of your bad luck."

Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Dong Shu's words.

It seemed that he was unable to completely suppress his bad luck. After all, the Young Girl said that the locust tree figurine was able to block half of his bad luck and not all of it.

However, this result was very good for Xu Shiqiu, he was already satisfied.

While Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were speaking, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu was listening by the side. After they finished speaking, the two of them took two steps forward.

"Nothing is perfect. It is already very good to be able to do so. Shiqiu, what are you planning to do next? " Xu Nuanwen saw that Xu Shiqiu had just finished speaking, thought for a while and continued, "Your brother-in-law will probably come to pick me up later, so you can talk to him."

After saying these words to Xu Shiqiu, Xu Nuanwen turned his head to look at Xu Yanzhu who was beside him and said: "I'm going to teach you the rules of entering the palace at Third Aunt. Are you accompanying us, or are you doing something else?"

Xu Yanzhu actually wanted to stay, but when she thought about the Mrs. Jiang's expression when she left this morning, she thought for a moment. In the end, she still said: "I will return today, and come back after two days."

After replying to Xu Nuanwen's words, Xu Yanzhu thought for a moment, then looked at Dong Shu and said: "Third Aunt, I wonder, when would the banquet be held at home? Jiang Han had to go out and inspect the shop in a few days, so he was afraid that it would take at least a month before he could return. He told me that he would come to see Grandmother at the time of the banquet. "

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu was in a difficult situation and did not know how to reply.

His family did indeed have plans to entertain guests, and he had previously planned to spend the time for the banquet after Xu Shiqiu had seen Master Xuan Ling.

Only, he did not expect that not long after he had met the Master Xuan Ling, he had found a way to suppress Xu Shiqiu's bad luck.

Compared to the banquet guests, it was naturally more important to help Xu Shiqiu suppress his bad luck.

Logically speaking, they should be having a banquet today, but tomorrow they had to go to the palace to see the empress. After seeing the empress, they wondered if there would be any problems.

The empress's birthday was coming up. Everyone in the capital would probably be very busy during that time.

Seeing Dong Shu's troubled expression, Xu Yanzhu had thought that she had something hard to say. Just as she was about to ask, who knew that Dong Shu would come back to her senses and tell her the worries in her heart.

"So I'm not sure about the exact time. How about I ask my mother tonight, and she'll be entering the palace tomorrow. Even if we're going to have a banquet, it'll probably have to wait until we're done with the empress."

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu nodded and said: "That's the principle. When I return today, I will ask Jiang Han when he will leave." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu paused for a moment before continuing, "If it really doesn't work, then it's fine to hold a small family banquet. I keep having the feeling that Jiang Han would not have such a request for no reason."

Xu Yanzhu kept having the feeling that Jiang Han had some ulterior motives.

However, although she guessed that Jiang Han had other intentions in coming to see her grandmother, she felt that Jiang Han's method of doing so was correct.

It was because she understood this that she did not object to Jiang Han coming to visit her grandmother.

Right after Xu Yanzhu finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Shiqiu immediately looked at each other, then Xu Shiqiu spoke out: "I'll ask Mother about this tonight, I'll let you know after I get to the bottom of it."

After Xu Shiqiu finished, he nodded and said his goodbyes.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Dong Shu immediately called for Ling Xiang, telling her to dress up the dim sum she had brought the servants to make for him.

"I've brought all the servants and women to make these. Bring them back and have a taste. I think it's not bad." Previously, Dong Shu did not know how to make snacks, but she did know some steamed buns.

After arriving at the capital, she had interacted a lot with the chef at home. Only then did she have the chance to learn how to make pastries.

This time around, the cooking of 'Little Pig' and 'Little Rabbit' was done after the servants mentioned it. She was especially interested in learning and then combined all the buns she knew into one.

Unexpectedly, after specially concocting the jujube sauce and lotus flower, it was wrapped in noodles and steamed out. It was quite tasty.

As for its appearance, it was naturally designed by the kitchen maid. Dong Shu also felt that after making it look like this, it would taste good.

Xu Yanzhu was well aware of Third Aunt's character. Seeing that she was going to give him refreshments, and that she was such a cute "little pig" and "little rabbit", not only did she not feel awkward, she even reached out his hands to receive them happily.

Seeing that his cousin just took away all these 'Little Pig' and 'Little Bunnies', Ye Xuan who was with Ye Shuo immediately pulled his second brother's hand sadly.

After Ye Shuo sensed Ye Xuan's movements, he helplessly twitched his mouth and whispered into his ear. "Don't worry Xuan Ge'er, when we leave later, Second Brother will definitely give you a lot of 'Little Pig' and 'Little Rabbit'."

Ye Shuo's voice was actually very soft, but unfortunately, Xu Shiqiu had trained in the martial arts for many years, so his hearing was not ordinary.

After hearing his words, he directly pointed out, "There aren't that many snacks left, but the recipe for the snacks will be written down for your mother to bring back. In the future, if you all want to eat, get a servant to come over early and say that it's alright.

Xu Shiqiu felt that his nephew's body was getting better and better, especially today, when he looked much better than before.

At this rate, his physique would improve very quickly.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he glared at him.

After staring at Xu Shiqiu, Xu Nuanwen then said to Ye Shuo and Ye Xuan: "Your Third Uncle isn't wrong. Our home is very close, if you guys want to eat anything in the future, just let Mother know, Mother will bring you guys here to eat directly."

Xu Nuanwen was even more direct. When she said these words, both Ye Shuo and Ye Xuan's eyes immediately lit up.

To Ye Shuo, these dishes were not that attractive. What attracted him the most was that he could find excuses to find Third Uncle often in the future.

As for Ye Xuan, he felt that his appetite was especially good recently. The medicine he drank earlier was more than the food he ate.

Xu Yanzhu smiled while carrying the box, and then looked at Ye Xuan and said: "The Jiang Family also has a lot of delicious snacks and food, once Cousin Sis goes back, I will let the servants tidy it up, and keep it for Xuan Ge'er to eat later."

Xu Yanzhu did not dare to let the servants of the Jiang Family cook and eat for Ye Xuan. After all, Ye Xuan was not only his own cousin, but also someone from the Imperial Family.

However, there was no harm in preparing a prescription for a delicious meal. As long as he gave it to his aunt, she could explain clearly if there were ingredients that could counteract the effects within the prescription for the imperial physician to take a look at.

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, although Ye Xuan felt a little embarrassed, he still nodded his head in the end.

Seeing Ye Xuan's expression, which was getting better and better every day, Xu Nuanwen was in a very good mood.

After Xu Yanzhu left, Xu Nuanwen led Dong Shu to the side to explain the rules after entering the palace.

As for Xu Shiqiu, he wanted to stay by Young Girl's side, but was driven to the side by Xu Nuanwen.

"Go see Shuo ge ge, he's been scratching his heart and liver to see you lately, I'm not asking you what's between you, just hurry up and treat your nephew and return him to me." After saying that, Xu Nuanwen reached out and pulled Dong Shu and her little son along as she walked to the side.

Just as Xu Shiqiu was about to speak, he saw that Ye Shuo, whose eyes were shining brightly, had already arrived in front of him.

"Third Uncle, shall we talk?" Ye Shuo had wanted to talk to Third Uncle a long time ago, but it was just that no matter where he went previously, Third Uncle always brought along Third Aunt. There were some things that he could tell Third Uncle, but he couldn't bring it up in front of Third Aunt.

Now that he saw his mother bringing his third aunt and brother away, he was going crazy with joy.

After hearing Ye Shuo's words, Xu Shiqiu directly glanced at him, and then said: "Alright, since you're not worried about staying together with me, let's talk in the front courtyard." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned and walked out, he did not care if Ye Shuo could follow him or not.

Of course Ye Shuo was able to keep up. Although he was a playboy with a lively personality, he was not a real playboy.

Xu Nuanwen came from a family of generals, so other than the youngest Ye Xuan, who hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood due to physical reasons, Ye Huan and Ye Shuo had both trained and read martial arts during their childhood.

Because of the fact that he had trained in the martial arts since childhood, although it was a little difficult for him to follow Xu Shiqiu outside, in the end, he was still able to barely keep up.

Xu Shiqiu did not stop to rest on the way, and directly walked from the rear courtyard to the front courtyard's living room.

When he saw Ye Shuo, who was following closely behind, he nodded with satisfaction: "Looks like you have some martial arts training." After saying that, without waiting for Ye Shuo to follow suit, Xu Shiqiu immediately continued: "Speak, what business do you have with me?"

Ye Shuo was just about to borrow the Third Uncle's words to climb up, but who knew that he would hear the latter sentence.

After a slight pause, he unhappily curled his lips and said: "Third Uncle, it's rare for you to praise me like this, but you actually don't give me the chance to follow along." After saying this, Ye Shuo then helplessly continued: "Today, I have come to find Third Uncle because I do have an urgent matter."

With that said, Ye Shuo's ears slowly turned red.

Seeing Ye Shuo reveal such an expression, Xu Shiqiu suddenly frowned: "For you to reveal such an expression, don't tell me it is a crime?"

Before today, Xu Shiqiu had never thought that he would have the ability of the Young Girl.

However, when he saw Ye Shuo's shy expression, he still felt a little frightened.

If he remembered correctly, Ye Shuo was only fourteen this year?

Thinking about it, the look in Xu Shiqiu's eyes immediately turned strange.

Seeing that he was being watched by Third Uncle like that, Ye Shuo immediately became nervous and asked, "Third Uncle, is it not Fang'er's fault?"

Hearing Ye Shuo's words, Xu Shiqiu's vision immediately turned black. He really did not expect that his nephew, who was only fourteen years old, would actually offend a peach blossom.
