Xu Shiqiu and Yan Ye's testing of each other happened in an instant. When Old Madame Xu invited them in, they immediately retracted all of their aura.
Dong Shu was also staying with Yuanxi at Old Madame Xu at this time. Yuanxi grew bigger and bigger, and slept less and less. Usually, Dong Shu had things to do, so she habitually placed Yuanxi at Old Madame Xu's place.
Old Madame Xu also liked Yuanxi. With Yuanxi accompanying her, even if she still couldn't speak, watching her sitting there and playing with the ball Dong Shu had made for her was enough to make her happy.
When the Old Madame Xu saw Yan Ye, He Ce and the others enter, she immediately smiled and nodded at them.
"Since you guys are here, then treat this place as your own home. There's no need to be courteous." Old Madame Xu looked at Yan Ye, and the others who had spoken, and after saying that, he nodded her head, thought for a while and continued: "If there's anything you like, just tell the servant, let the servant go inform the kitchen."
"Thank you, Old Madame, for your concern." When the Old Madame Xu's voice fell, Yan Ye directly said that. After saying that, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I will be visiting my friends in two days. After meeting my friends, I will come to the manor for another two days."
The reason why Yan Ye came to the capital was to visit his friends, so when they heard his words, the people from Xu Family and He Ce did not feel it was strange.
When Yan Ye no longer spoke, Xu Shiqiu directly said to him, "You can rest for two days first. After I finish these two days of work, I'll have a detailed discussion with you." Xu Shiqiu had indeed been busy these past two days, and had not dealt with the matters at the military camp today. He would have to deal with it later at night.
He Ce understood what Xu Shiqiu meant. He had sold his family's shop and house this time and brought his newlyweds to the capital to abandon everything and find Xu Shiqiu. He had originally been betting everything on this, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.
When the Old Madame Xu saw Xu Shiqiu and He Ce talking, she got the servant woman to take out the head that she wanted to give to the Madame Zheng.
These were all things that his family had left for him to give to others. Old Madame Xu had a lot of things in her hands, giving him two sets would only be a few dozen silver.
"This, this is not something that belongs to the Old Madame." Madame Zheng was only the daughter of an ordinary family, and after marrying He Ce, she was also a merchant.
"This is something bestowed by the elders, you just need to accept it." Old Madame Xu understood Madame Zheng's scruples, but the two sets of gifts she gave were originally meant to be given to others or to be given as rewards.
He Ce understood Old Madame Xu's intentions. He had to follow Xu Shiqiu and do things for the sake of his wife in the future, and that was why he gave the title of the head of his household.
He nodded to Madame Zheng, and Madame Zheng took the lead.
Seeing that Xu Shiqiu and He Ce had finished talking, Dong Shu quickly informed him of what she had discussed with Old Madame Xu today.
"I have already written a post for my sister and first niece. I will have someone deliver it to them tomorrow morning. It just so happens that when they come over, you'll probably be done with what you're doing. " Dong Shu would naturally not mention Xu Yanzhu's name in front of Yan Ye and He Ce.
However, what she didn't notice was that when she mentioned 'eldest niece', Yan Ye still couldn't help but shake his hand.
Yan Ye's movements were not obvious, at least no one else noticed.
After Yan Ye, He Ce and the Madame Zheng left, the Old Madame Xu looked at them and said, "There is something that I wanted to tell you guys earlier, but I've forgotten about it."
When the Old Madame Xu opened her mouth, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu looked at her anxiously.
Seeing their expressions, Old Madame Xu started laughing.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." After saying that, the Old Madame Xu did not delay any further and directly continued: "Now that your big brother's family's Yanhao is about to get married, the way we address our family will have to change as well."
Old Madame Xu only remembered this matter after she heard the title of Eldest Master.
"In the future, I will naturally be the Old Madame. The Third House will have their own masters, and the following words will be more accurate."
As soon as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu understood what was going on.
His elder brother was already someone who wanted to be a grandfather. It was indeed inconvenient for him to be addressed as' Eldest Young Master 'along with his mother when he came to visit her again.
Moreover, he now had a daughter, and in the future, he would have a son as well.
Dong Shu didn't really understand much about this, but seeing that her mother-in-law and husband had agreed to it, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.
After saying this, Old Madame Xu rushed back with Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, because tonight, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Shiqiu were going to treat the three of them to a meal.
Yan Ye left the villa early the next morning. He Ce also seemed to have something to busy him with, but Madame Zheng did not know what to do.
Dong Shu had received Xu Shiqiu's instructions. When He Ce was busy, he invited Madame Zheng to her side and brought her with him.
Madame Zheng had been by Dong Shu's side for less than two days, and she had learned many things. She also finally understood why Master must come to the capital.
At this time, the Fifth Prince Palace and Jiang Family in the capital had also packed their belongings and prepared to stay in the manor for two days.
"I will bring Xuan Ge'er to stay there for two days. You and Brother Huan are at home. You can come find us at the manor the next time you take a rest." The temperature in the capital grew hotter and hotter. Although Ye Xuan's body was much better than before, but because of the hot weather, his appetite was not good.
Xu Nuanwen's heart ached for her youngest son, and she truly missed Old Madame Xu. Naturally, once she received Dong Shu's invitation, she impatiently prepared to leave the capital.
She was the Concubine of the Fifth Prince. She could not leave the capital at will, but going to the manor in the outskirts of the capital was no problem.
Ye Jingxing immediately understood what he meant, but he was truly unwilling to part with her.
But he also understood that as long as it was something his wife decided, he couldn't change it.
"Then, my wife should remember to bring the doctor to the manor to inform my mother-in-law. After I, Xiu Mu, return to pay my respects to her." The moment Ye Jingxing's voice fell, he continued after some thought: "I heard from time to time that Big Brother Shuo's performance in the army was not bad. You should at least look at him."
In the end, she was still his son. Although his mother wasn't someone he liked, it was all thanks to her that time.
If it wasn't for her, mufei would definitely have bestowed someone else with a reputation, and her reputation would certainly have been spread even worse by those people.
Furthermore, Ye Shuo had been raised under his wife's tutelage for all these years and was connected to his wife by blood. Even though Ye Jingxing did not place much importance on Ye Shuo, he would not ignore it.
Xu Nuanwen understood the guilt and awkwardness Ye Jingxing felt towards Ye Shuo, so when she heard his words, she did not say much more and directly nodded: "Don't worry, I have always treated Brother Shuo like my own son, he understands this in his heart too."
The two of them did not try to hide their identities from Ye Shuo, and Xu Nuanwen also felt that Ye Shuo, who was raised by himself, would definitely understand what they were thinking.
"I know all of these things, but my current identity is still that of an ordinary prince. But in the future, even if big brother Shuo doesn't have that kind of mindset, it is still possible for someone to make trouble on his behalf. "
Just as Ye Jingxing finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen raised her eyebrows and said: "Brother Shuo, it's precisely because you understand this that you want to join the army. He understands, that in the future when he becomes a general, there will be less things to do."
After all, almost all of the imperial troops were in the hands of the Prince Duan s. Even in the future, they would give a portion of it to Xu Shiqiu.
With the people from their two bloodlines, Ye Shuo would be much safer.
Ye Jingxing and Xu Nuanwen were talking in the Fifth Prince Palace, and was also talking about going to the manor.
"Jiang Han, Old Madame tormented me a while ago, and I have endured it on account of her being your mother. Now, my Third Aunt has invited me to go to the manor to take shelter, don't stop me."
As she had interacted with Jiang Han a lot, Xu Yanzhu was also used to speaking frankly with him.
Only, Xu Yanzhu didn't expect that Jiang Han would directly sneer when he heard her words.
Just as she was feeling suspicious, Jiang Han had already put away the sneer on his face and nodded: "If you want to go, you can go. It would also be good for me to rest and come back when I want to. " After Jiang Han finished speaking, he immediately left Xu Yanzhu's courtyard without looking back.
After Jiang Han left, Cui Hua, who was standing behind him, finally spoke: "First Miss, what happened to Young Master Jiang?"
In private, Cui Hua still called Xu Yanzhu "First Miss", this was also what Xu Yanzhu meant.
However, the two of them were very careful. As long as a third person was present, they wouldn't call him that.
Xu Yanzhu felt that every time Cui Hua called her 'First Miss', she would have the feeling that she wasn't married yet.
"Who cares what he does." Although Xu Yanzhu said that, she had a bold guess in the bottom of her heart.
She hadn't felt it before, but this time, when her mother-in-law was sick, she had sensed something.
She kept feeling that there was something wrong with Jiang Han's attitude towards his mother.
Xu Yanzhu also had a mother, who had done so many things that hurt her heart. However, when she heard that her mother was not feeling well, and even that her brothers were in trouble, she couldn't help but pay attention to them.
Even though it was impossible to return to before, she would always pay attention.
But this time, when her mother-in-law was sick, she faintly felt that not only was Jiang Han not nervous, he seemed to be happy instead.
At first, Xu Yanzhu had thought that she was mistaken, but after carefully observing for a while, she was sure that she had discovered this point.
Because sshe discovered this point, after Xu Yanzhu received Dong Shu's thread, he could not wait to go to the Manor and inform his grandmother and Third Uncle about this matter, and let them help him think about it.
The day before Xu Yanzhu left, she received a message from his aunt, only then did she know that his aunt was also invited to the Manor by the Third Aunt.
When she heard that her aunt was going as well, she immediately ordered the rooms under her command. When tomorrow came, she would follow the convoy from the Fifth Prince Palace out of the city.
On the morning of the second day, Xu Yanzhu was directly waiting at the city gate. Upon seeing the convoy from Fifth Prince's residence, she immediately walked down the Mule Cart and went to Xu Nuanwen's carriage to sit.
Upon seeing Xu Yanzhu, Xu Nuanwen immediately guessed that she had something to say to him.
"Why are you in such a hurry to come here? What do you have to say to me?"
After hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, Xu Yanzhu did not think to hide it from her and directly told her what she had discovered a few days ago.
"Auntie, I think about myself. Even if my mother is worried about my little brother, if I hear that she's sick, I'll have to send someone to deliver something to her." But when I look at Jiang Han, although on the surface, I would visit his mother every single day, there isn't any genuine concern in his eyes. "
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Nuanwen raised an eyebrow, she did not expect that Jiang Han would actually still have such a good temper.
"Don't worry about this matter. When we arrive at the manor, I will send someone to send a message to your uncle. When the time comes, I will let your uncle check it out."
After saying these words, Xu Nuanwen thought for a moment, then continued: "Wait until you meet your grandmother, then ask about your grandmother's Jiang Family, maybe she will remember something."
Xu Nuanwen was not wrong, after all, their age was right here, there were many things that only the older generation knew.
Just as Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu arrived at the Manor, they heard that the family's address had already been changed.
They weren't surprised by this point. Although the third wife didn't have a son, the eldest son was about to have a grandson.
"Is Yan Qing's family about to give birth?" Upon hearing the servants call him, Xu Nuanwen directly asked the Old Madame Xu.
When Old Madame Xu heard this, he nodded and said, "Your elder brother's family name has already been changed. It's not good for us to not change it."
After speaking to Xu Nuanwen, Old Madame Xu then looked at Xu Yanzhu and asked: Yanzhu, why do I see that you have something on your mind?
Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Yanzhu did not hide anything and repeated what she had just said to her aunt.
Originally, she thought that her grandmother didn't know anything, but after she finished speaking, Old Madame Xu suddenly remembered something.
