Xu Shiqiu looked at Ye Shuo and did not want to speak, but Ye Shuo, who did not wait for his answer, would not let him go.

Ye Shuo stared at Xu Shiqiu expectantly for a while, but seeing that Third Uncle did not have any plans to speak, he said straightforwardly: "Third Uncle, Fang'er is very good, I feel happy when I see her. Although I know I'm still young, I have decided to marry Fang'er in the future."

Ye Shuo spoke with seriousness, and upon hearing his words, Xu Shiqiu finally could not hold it in and sighed: "After you've said so much, this Fang'er, just whose family's young lady is she?"

Xu Shiqiu felt that as long as this Fang'er did not have a bad background and she was indeed a good girl, he would be able to persuade his elder sister to marry and bring her home.

As for Ye Shuo, after hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, he immediately laughed shyly, then looked at him and said seriously: "Fang'er is the granddaughter of the Department of Revenue's Liu Shangshu, and I am good friends with her brother."

Just as Ye Shuo finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought this Fang'er had a bad background, but he didn't expect her to be quite good.

The little granddaughter of the Department of Revenue Liu Shangshu's house, matched up with the bastard son of the Fifth Prince, was just right.

Thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu finally calmed down and said to Ye Shuo: "You are only fourteen years old. If you really like this lady from the Liu Family, Third Uncle will tell your mother and ask your mother to find out what the Liu Family is thinking." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment before continuing, "Your big brother isn't married yet. Even if both your families are interested, they wouldn't marry so quickly.

Although Xu Shiqiu was a man, he understood the rules of a rich family.

It wasn't that there was no one like Ye Shuo, who was engaged at the age of fourteen, but his big brother wasn't engaged yet.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Shuo immediately laughed: "I understand this, that's why I'm thinking of telling uncle about it in private, so that you can scout mother's mouth." After saying this, Ye Shuo hesitated for a while, but eventually decided to speak the truth: "Fang'er and Liu Ze's mother are both juniors of their grandmother's family. It's just that their mother and their grandmother have both died many years ago.

After he said that, Ye Shuo's face suddenly became dejected, and he sighed, then continued: "Liu Ze told me last time that he really wanted to leave home to join the army, but he was worried about his sister. His grandfather and father have both put their hearts in the court, and his stepmother has repeatedly made things difficult for him and Fang'er. If he hadn't pretended to be a popinjay and stayed with me, I'm afraid that he wouldn't have been able to stay in that house for a long time. "

Xu Shiqiu did not expect that such a thing would actually happen in Liu Shang Shu's inner chamber.

Because there were no such things in the Xu Family Inner Palace, Xu Shiqiu was unable to think of a good method to give it to Ye Shuo for the time being.

After thinking about it, Xu Shiqiu said in the end, "This matter still needs to be left to your mother. It's not suitable for even us to appear, and your third aunt's identity is also not enough."

Xu Shiqiu didn't lie. Since Liu Shangshu's position was not low and he was highly regarded by His Majesty, His Majesty would probably be happy if his grandson married Liu Shangshu's family's granddaughter.

However, the matter of Liu Shangshu's daughter-in-law being married to a imperial concubine was somewhat difficult to deal with.

Thinking to this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Ye Shuo and said: "Don't be anxious about this matter, I will tell your mother about it. "No matter what, you must not do anything that would affect the reputation of the lady of the Liu Family."

Xu Shiqiu saw that Ye Shuo had just finished saying these words. After a moment of hesitation, Ye Shuo still said: "Although Fang'er is younger than me by a year, in the capital, there are a lot of young ladies who are engaged at the age of thirteen. I'm worried that she might have been betrothed to someone else."

With Ye Shuo's explanation, Xu Shiqiu also understood what was going on.

Liu Fang'er's current mother was her stepmother, so maybe her stepmother would use her marriage as an article.

"Fine, I'll tell your mother later. You can finally relax now, right?"

Xu Shiqiu squinted at Ye Shuo, and just as he finished speaking, Ye Shuo immediately laughed in satisfaction.

Xu Shiqiu could not bear to see Ye Shuo laugh like that, he raised his hand and slapped his head.

"Since uncle is helping you with this matter, you have to work hard. Since you have a girl you like, you have to do something so that you can raise your family in the future."

Xu Shiqiu liked Ye Shuo a lot, but he was different from the steady Ye Huan. Since Ye Huan was young, he understood his own identity, so he was very sensible.

However, his wisdom was not that he didn't fight for it, but to obediently hide in the backyard of Fifth Prince Palace and pretend that he did not exist.

Xu Shiqiu would sometimes be very envious of Ye Shuo because he only had one condition, and that was to make himself happy.

Just as he thought about that, he felt Ye Shuo's eyes staring at him.

He raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "If you still have any words to say, then say them all at once. Being so shy doesn't seem like you."

Xu Shiqiu saw that Ye Shuo had just finished saying these words, and it seemed as if Ye Shuo had taken a deep breath, and then looked at him and resolutely said: "Third Uncle, if Fang'er and I can be engaged, can I let Fang'er stay with Third Aunt? I have agreed with Liu Ze that we will go to the border pass together to join the army. "

Xu Shiqiu never thought that the most important matter Ye Shuo would come to find him today would be this.

He could understand why Ye Shuo would say such a thing, but he could not casually agree to it.

"Brother Shuo, this is something that this Third Uncle cannot agree to. I still need to discuss it with your mother and your third aunt." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu saw Ye Shuo droop his shoulders like a little dog being scolded.

Although he was sad, he still wagged his tail to please her.

Seeing him like this, Xu Shiqiu could only sigh helplessly before continuing, "After all, we have no relationship with the Liu Family. Even if his parents are here, we can't just bring him back to our house."

Ye Shuo understood all of this, so even though he was feeling sad right now, he was not angry.

He nodded at Xu Shiqiu, then looked at him: "Then I'll be troubling Third Uncle."

Because Xu Shiqiu had heard about this matter from the beginning, Xu Shiqiu did not have the mood to continue conversing with him. Thinking that it was about time, he brought Ye Shuo and walked towards the back.

When they returned, Xu Nuanwen was still holding onto Dong Shu and talking with him. Ye Xuan just quietly sat on the side, not feeling bored at all.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu had brought Ye Shuo back so quickly, Xu Nuanwen was just about to say that he despised their uncle's words, but who knew that Xu Shiqiu would look at her with a gaze of anticipation, as if he was watching a good show.

Out of her understanding of her younger brother for so many years, Xu Nuanwen quickly kept the words that she had not said, and looked at him: "You're back so quickly?"

After she finished speaking to Xu Shiqiu, Xu Nuanwen shot a glance at his son who was standing beside him.

With a single glance, he discovered that something was amiss.

However, before Xu Nuanwen could even ask, Xu Shiqiu had already looked at Ling Xiang who was standing beside him and said: "Give us all some hot tea, you will go and stand guard at the door." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu walked to the side and sat down, and quietly waited for Ling Xiang to serve tea.

Ling Xiang's movements was quick, sshe did not ask further, and after pouring tea for everyone, he left the house.

After Ling Xiang left, Xu Shiqiu took a sip of the tea within the cup of tea and then looked at Xu Nuanwen and said: "Congratulations, Big Sister."

When Xu Shiqiu's headless words came out, not only did he not understand, even Dong Shu did not understand.

As for Ye Shuo, after Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, he was so shocked that he trembled, and almost threw the teacup in his hand out.

Xu Shiqiu did not seem to see everyone's reaction, and continued: "Just now Brother Shuo told me one thing, he has a lover, big sister can be prepared to be a mother-in-law."

After saying these words to Xu Nuanwen, Xu Shiqiu then looked towards Dong Shu and said, "My wife, perhaps we will become uncles very soon."

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen glared at him and said: "Xu Shiqiu, don't say things without any reason. Explain what exactly happened." Although Xu Nuanwen said that, she had already guessed a bit in her heart.

She felt that this matter was related to Ye Shuo. After all, Xu Shiqiu had left with Ye Shuo just now.

Thinking about how her brother Shuo, who was only fourteen years old, might have already harmed a little girl, Xu Nuanwen immediately snorted coldly.

Hearing his mother's cold snort, Ye Shuo felt as if his own calves were trembling.

He knew that he had to settle this matter before his father arrived. Otherwise, if his father came and saw that his mother was unhappy, he would not ask anything. He would beat him up first.

After coming to this conclusion, Ye Shuo immediately smiled at Xu Shiqiu, trying to curry favor with him.

Seeing Ye Shuo's smile, Xu Shiqiu finally spoke, and told his what Ye Shuo had just told him.

After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen heaved a sigh of relief.

However, thinking about how her son had a lover when he was only fourteen, she didn't forget to look at him and say, "Oh, not bad at all. He's only fourteen, but he's already found a good wife for himself."

Hearing his mother's words, Ye Shuo immediately looked at her and guaranteed: "Mother, don't worry, I really like Fang'er. Every time we meet, her brother would always be by her side, and he would never do anything out of line." After saying this, Ye Shuo did not forget to promise: "Fang'er has a good personality. Mother will definitely like her after seeing her.

Xu Nuanwen felt that she himself was not the evil grandma. The reason why she wasn't happy was because she had long ago discovered that her son had something on his mind, but he had concealed it from them and told this matter to Third Uncle first.

Xu Nuanwen felt that it was fortunate that she and her brother had a good relationship. Otherwise, she would definitely hate her brother.

As she thought about it, Xu Nuanwen immediately looked at him and nodded, "At least you still remember what mother told you back then. After saying this, under Ye Shuo's expectant gaze, Xu Nuanwen continued, "Once mother goes back, she will send someone to investigate and arrange this matter. If this girl is really good, then Mother will help you settle it. If that stepmother of his isn't willing, then Mother will go find your grandmother, and your grandmother will definitely be willing to help you with this matter. "

Xu Nuanwen looked at Ye Shuo who was instantly beaming with joy at his own words, and immediately said with a splash of cold water: "It's just that during this period of time, it's best if you don't meet this lady, and that your reputation isn't good." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen thought for a moment and then continued: "Also, you just told your Third Uncle that you want to join the army at the border trial?"

Xu Nuanwen didn't actually stop her son from advancing, even though this was not her own son.

However, his mother was his concubine, and he was raised by himself. She was no different from his own son.

It's just that …

"If you really want to join the army, when your Third Uncle enters the palace and becomes an official, you can follow your Third Uncle." Just as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu and Ye Shuo's uncle looked at her at the same time.

Being looked at by her uncle and aunt, Xu Nuanwen was not nervous at all. She continued to look at Ye Shuo and said, "As for that good friend of yours, Liu Ze, he can also follow your Third Uncle. After all, in the beginning, I didn't think your Royal Grandfather would let your uncle leave the capital too far. If Liu Ze really has the ability, with your Third Uncle and you protecting him, he can make a name for himself. Once he has a place in the family, he will naturally be able to protect his sister. "

As soon as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Although he was displeased with his elder sister's attitude, she was right. She still understood His Majesty very well.

Because of Ye Shuo, Xu Nuanwen originally wanted to stay at the Xu Family until night before returning, but after waiting for Ye Jingxing and Ye Huan to come pick them up, she still took Ye Shuo and Ye Xuan and left.

However, before leaving, Xu Nuanwen left a Mama by her side for Dong Shu to use when she enters the palace tomorrow.

Mama Jiang was sent out of the palace to wait upon Ye Xuan when he was giving birth to Ye Xuan. For the past few years, Mama Jiang and Xu Nuanwen had gotten along very well.

Now that Ye Xuan's health was getting better and better, after Xu Nuanwen asked Mama Jiang about it, Mama Jiang indicated that she wanted to take another look at the Consort De and stay in the Fifth Prince Palace to take care of Ye Xuan after that.

Because of this reason, Xu Nuanwen allowed Mama Jiang to accompany him into the palace.

Dong Shu understood Aunt Sister's good intentions and naturally did not refuse.

What Dong Shu did not expect was that when she had clearly brought Mama Jiang to the palace with her mother-in-law, she had still been troubled when she had just entered the palace.
