Hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, Xu Shiqiu's heart jumped, he knew, if there was no problem with the time, her sister would not say anything.

Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Nuanwen and asked: "Elder sister, is there something wrong with the timing?" After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't wait for Xu Nuanwen's reply before continuing, "Generally, new recruits would either train for three months or for half a year. So when His Majesty spoke for three months today, I didn't think too much about it."

The moment Xu Shiqiu's words fell, Xu Nuanwen immediately shook his head, "Do you still remember what I told you before, about how Master Xuan Ling gave the Imperial Family its life?

"Big sister means that three months from now, it will be the time that Master Xuan Ling speaks of?" As Xu Shiqiu said this, his eyebrows also knitted together immediately.

Seeing him reveal such an expression, Xu Nuanwen hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, according to the time Master Xuan Ling said, it should be from the end of this year to the beginning of next year." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen continued under Xu Shiqiu's puzzled gaze. "We're only following Master Xuan Ling's deductions, that His Majesty will have encountered a calamity at the end of autumn."

However, the information she was revealing right now was enough for Xu Shiqiu to digest.

"But I don't think you need to worry too much about this matter. Since His Majesty knows that his sister-in-law is blessed, he'll probably protect all of you for his own sake."

Xu Nuanwen did not lie, but when she heard her words, her brows were still knitted tightly.

According to his plan, once he had an official position, he would have to slowly take charge of the military. Even if he couldn't take over the military power left behind by his father, he had to have a seat in the army.

The Emperor Ruikang was old and the princes had all grown up. In order to fight for the throne, there was no need for troops.

If he could help his brother-in-law get on the throne, the Third Prince, this enemy, could definitely be dealt with.

As for the Emperor Ruikang...

Thinking about how Emperor Ruikang had protected his son and covered up his son's crimes, Xu Shiqiu thought in his heart. Maybe letting Emperor Ruikang personally see his sons betray him one by one would make him even more sad.

After he understood all of this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Nuanwen and said: "Elder sister, don't ask about this anymore. No matter what, I still want to recruit and train new recruits. "When I have troops, even if there's anything, I can still protect the safety of our family."

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking,, Yuanxi and the rest of the people in the hall were the only ones who did not understand what he meant.

Even Ye Shuo, who was playing with Yuanxi, subconsciously looked up at the Third Uncle Xu Shiqiu.

Since the ancient era, the victor was the king and the loser was the thief. If there were soldiers in the hands of the loser, they could fight for some benefits, and even if they didn't, they could still protect their families.

This was also the reason why Ye Shuo wanted to join the army when he discovered what his father was planning to do.

Thinking up to here, the Old Madame Xu, who had the highest seniority in the room, sighed one last time before speaking, "Shiqiu, since you want to do it, then go ahead and try. I'll help you with everything."

The moment Old Madame Xu opened her mouth, Xu Shiqiu instantly looked up at her and said, "Mother, don't worry.

Dong Shu didn't know what her husband, Granny, Aunt Sister and the others were talking about just now. Although she didn't understand it, she could tell from the atmosphere they were talking about that the things they were discussing were very important.

Until the moment Xu Shiqiu's words fell, she finally opened his mouth and said, "I believe Hubby can do it."

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu and the rest's gazes all landed on her body.

Sensing that they were looking at him, Dong Shu immediately asked: "What's wrong? But am I wrong? "

"No, with your words, your husband will only be more confident." Xu Shiqiu didn't want Dong Shu to notice anything else, so he hurriedly said those words the moment Dong Shu finished speaking.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately believed him, and her curved crescent eyes turned into two crescent moons.

Seeing Dong Shu's expression, Xu Shiqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Shiqiu understood in his heart, no matter what, since he already had a position, the first thing he needed to do was to recruit and train soldiers.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu had no intention to continue speaking, Dong Shu told his what she had discussed with Xu Shiqiu on the Mule Cart.

"I haven't been to the manor yet, so it just so happens that the weather is getting hotter in a while. Yanzhu, can you also go live in the manor for a while?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu in anticipation, her pair of crescent eyes filled with curiosity towards the manor.

Xu Yanzhu had visited the villa twice, but the previous two times had been in the morning, and she had returned in the afternoon. This time, hearing Dong Shu say that she wanted to go and stay for a while, she only pondered for a moment, then nodded her head: "Alright, after the empress's birthday, I will accompany Grandmother and Third Aunt to go and stay for a while."

Xu Nuanwen also wanted to stay in the villa. Although her manor was not right next to Xu Shiqiu's manor, it was not too far away.

However, as the Consort of the Fifth Prince, even if the Empress' birthday ended, she would still not be able to stay in the Villa forever.

"I cannot grow strong in the manor, but staying here for two days is fine. The most important thing is still to see how Xuan Ge'er is doing. If his health is good, then let Brother Huan'er bring Xuan Ge'er to stay with you at the Manor for a few days. "

Previously, Ye Xuan's health was not good, and he could not leave the capital too far for fear of not being able to see a doctor when he had the disease.

Ye Xuan had been to the manor a few times, but he had to bring a lot of people with him every time he went out. Now that his body was getting better and better, maybe he could go out and live in the manor for a while this year, and would not need to bring the doctor along anymore.

"We have the Doctor Du at home, so the Doctor Du will definitely come with us. With the Doctor Du at home, Big Sis doesn't need to worry." Dong Shu also thought that it was interesting to have more people. Last summer, she was pregnant and could not be greedy.

Furthermore, her Xiahe Village was cooler than the capital, so she didn't need to specially cool down.

However, the capital city was different. Although she had never experienced it before, from what others had told her, she could roughly guess how hot it would be when she went underworld.

After saying this, Old Madame Xu opened her mouth and said, "After the Queen's birthday, the family will hold a small feast, and invite a few families that are close to having a relationship with each other." After saying this, Old Madame Xu thought for a moment and continued, "Coincidentally, I also want to choose a marriage for Yanlang."

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu immediately looked at each other.

They all came to their senses, the thing that Old Madame Xu was not done with just now should be this.

"Grandmother, about Yanlang's marriage, why would I trouble you to come and take a look?" Xu Yanzhu did not understand, although she was secretly helping Xu Yanlang, but she had a good grasp of the situation.

Even if she was angry at her parents and brothers, as long as Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei had the surname Xu, she would extend a helping hand when she knew they needed help.

This was the reason for a family. Even without family ties, as long as it was a family family, when it was clear that the other party needed help, Xu Yanzhu would still extend a hand.

However, due to the previous matter, it was impossible to ask her to pay special attention to them, regardless of what the reason was.

Old Madame Xu ought to be aware of what Xu Yanzhu had been doing during this period of time, so when she heard Xu Yanzhu's words, she immediately nodded. "Your father and mother are still considered smart. After she finished speaking, Old Madame Xu thought for a bit before continuing, "Furthermore, Yanlang's request this time is considered to be normal. I've thought about it, rather than letting your father and mother casually marry Yanlang as a daughter-in-law, it would be better for me to spend some effort to find a smart person to help him."

Old Madame Xu understood that it was impossible for the Second Branch to rely on Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang.

However, Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei could still be considered to be saved. She thought about it a bit, and if he could still help the Second Branch, it would be considered as helping his husband, who had already passed away.

When Xu Yanzhu heard Old Madame Xu's words, she immediately understood what she meant.

"What kind of marriage does Yanlang want to find?"

The moment Xu Yanzhu opened his mouth, before the Old Madame Xu could reply, Xu Nuanwen had already opened his mouth and said: "Jing Xing has an assistant under him, who is a High Scholar who has been through many trials. He has just learned very well, his wife comes from a merchant's family, and he only has two daughters. He hadn't taken in a concubine all these years and had always guarded his wife and two daughters. I've seen his eldest daughter a few times before. She can read, she knows how to calculate, she knows how to do business, and she's an expert in both the house and the house. "

If Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang came to tell him, Xu Nuanwen might not be willing to tell this girl to Xu Yanlang.

But now that it was Old Madame Xu who wanted to help Xu Yanlang watch the marriage, and Xu Yanzhu had once again voiced her concern, she had one more thing to say.

When the Old Madame Xu heard Xu Nuanwen's words, she immediately became spirited.

She had originally wanted to find a smart and capable wife for Xu Yanlang, so that she could take care of the matters of the second house in the future.

Although Xu Nuanwen spoke of a lady who did not have a brother, her father was one of Ye Jingxing's aides. As long as Ye Jingxing succeeded in the future, then he would definitely have an official position.

As for his status as a High Scholar, it just so happened that he was neither high nor low. The Second Branch did not have any official positions, and was always in business.

Xu Nuanwen saw that her mother was moved, and then continued: "But this girl's appearance is average, and she looks like her father; And I listened to her mother's words, as if she was going to keep her eldest daughter at home to take in a woman and pass on the incense. "

After saying the advantages of the technique, Xu Nuanwen did not forget to mention the disadvantages as well.

Old Lady Xu understood this as well, and finally she nodded. "I'll see if there are any suitable marriages among my family and friends in the next few days. You can go back and test this girl's mother." If she wants to, I'll look for a chance to visit your house. " After thinking for a moment, Old Lady Xu continued, "Although there's a way to recruit women, there's always something wrong with men who are willing to marry into the academy. "You and this girl's mother said that if she is willing to marry our family, when she has a second son, she can follow their family name.

Old Madame Xu made it clear that she was someone who had experienced the past and understood the flaws in recruiting women.

Hearing her mother's words, Xu Nuanwen understood that her mother truly felt that the conditions of the young lady that she had mentioned were appropriate.

Otherwise, she would never have made such a promise.

She looked at Xu Yanzhu and saw that both of Xu Yanzhu's eyes were shining. Obviously, she had some interest in this girl, and then she said: "Then I will explain everything to her mother when I go back later." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen thought for a moment before continuing to speak in a low voice: "Actually, I was just thinking about her family's little miss." While talking, Xu Nuanwen did not forget to take a glance at Ye Xuan.

Upon seeing her expression, everyone understood what she meant.

Even though Ye Xuan was his royal grandson, his health was not well. He wanted to find a suitable marriage partner, because he was afraid that if he passed away early, he would leave behind a rich and powerful wife.

But the daughter of Ye Jingxing's aide was not bad, and should have known Ye Xuan since he was young, so it was not strange that Xu Nuanwen had such a thought.

It was only because Ye Xuan's health was getting better and better that Xu Nuanwen suppressed her thoughts.

After saying this, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu left the Xu Family.

After they left, Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu back to the Shihuan Courtyard.

Today, Xu Shiqiu still had half a day to accompany him. Tomorrow morning, he would report to the military camp outside the city.

After they left, Old Madame Xu started to wonder if there were any other marriage suitable for Yanlang among her friends and family.

Other than pondering over this matter, the Old Madame Xu didn't forget to open up the calendar to see whether there would be a good day for the banquet after the Queen's birthday celebration ended.

After everyone busied themselves, Dong Shu also continued to busy herself with gifts for the empress' birthday. It was only the evening before the empress' birthday that Dong Shu finally prepared a present for the empress' birthday.
