C50 (2/2)
Just as Xu Shiqiu finished explaining the situation, he saw Dong Shu nodding at him.
Just as he was about to ask the Young Girl if she still had any questions, Dong Shu suddenly opened her mouth and said: ”Master, I'm hungry.”
Dong Shu was really hungry.
It was almost noon, but she had not eaten yet.
Last night, she had indeed slept after eating her fill. However, this morning, her husband had pulled her close to him again. At this moment, she felt extremely hungry.
Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu was stunned for a moment before laughing uncontrollably. He had forgotten that her Young Girl's character was not a person who would think too much.
Because Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu did not plan for them to get back together, and because Xu Yanzhu, who came here every day, had guessed this matter from the words of the Old Madame Xu, and because Dong Lei was not able to come here due to her injuries, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had been spending the past few days together.
After ten days of unthinking happiness, when all the pomegranate flowers in the courtyard had bloomed to become dazzling, the letter that Xu Shiqiu had sent out using the Old Madame Xu finally had an answer.
When Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu to Old Madame Xu's place, he saw two young men standing in the hall waiting for Old Madame Xu to ask questions.
The first people who came to deliver Xu Shiqiu's personally written letter were the two brothers. The father of the two brothers was originally an orphan who joined the army with Xu Shiqiu's father, and he didn't even remember the surname of their biological parents.
When he first entered the army to register his name, because he could not remember what his surname was, and heard Xu Shiqiu's father say that his surname was Xu, he casually mentioned that he was called Xu Er.
The letter Old Madame Xu previously sent over to Xu Er, who shamelessly said that he was his master's brother.
Xu Er's life was good, but was not as good as Xu Shiqiu's father's after becoming a great general.
Perhaps, he was one of the few brothers who had survived but been the most comfortable.
Back then, Xu Er was injured early on, so he did not have any position in the army when he left. Thus, he could only borrow the money given by Xu Shiqiu's father to build a house to buy land in a village outside the capital.
In the first few years, the relationship between the two families increased a lot, but as Xu Shiqiu's father became more and more powerful, Xu Er came less and less.
But Old Madame Xu would never forget the scene nine years ago, on the morning of the second day after the accident in Xu Family, Xu Er suddenly appeared outside of Xu Family's side door with her eldest son and eldest grandson covered in dew.
That day, Xu Er pushed his eldest grandson in front of her and said, if His Majesty wants to execute a Xu Family guy, then use his eldest grandson to exchange for a Xu Family eldest grandson.
It was also on that day that Old Madame Xu finally saw clearly the Xu Er who had lost half of her hand. Every time she saw her, she would smile brilliantly.
Because, when Xu Shiqiu needed help at that time, he immediately thought of Xu Er and the many males in his family.
Xu Er had four sons. This time, other than the eldest son's family, who was going to stay at home and serve his parents and take care of the fields, the other three sons were prepared to come over to Xiahe Village and fight with Xu Shiqiu.
Currently, the first to arrive were Xu Er's third son and fourth son. Before the two of them could reveal their names to Old Madame Xu, Old Madame Xu had already pointed at them and said, ”If I remember correctly, you two should be Xu Jun and Xu Jie.”
Old Madame Xu looked at the two young men below him. Just as she finished speaking, Xu Jun and Xu Jie's faces filled with shock.
The two brothers were very clear that this Old Madame in front of them had only seen her big brother and her second brother nine years ago when she was young.
When Old Madame Xu saw their shock, she hurriedly laughed and said, ”Back then your father learned that the first idiom was' High and High Festival '. He also said more than once that she would have four sons in the future, and use these four words to name them.
I've seen your big brother and second brother, and know that they are called Xu Gao and Xu Feng. Naturally, I can guess what your names are. ”
Thinking back to the past, Old Madame Xu's face also carried a hint of nostalgia.
Xu Jun and Xu Jie didn't expect that Old Madame Xu would still remember these things. Thinking about what their father had told them when they first arrived, Xu Jun and Xu Jie looked at each other, and then let Xu Jun speak up. ”Old Madame, us brothers will be the first to go.
Other than that, Father also wants to ask Old Madame to arrange a marriage for Fourth Brother Xu Jie. ”
As Xu Jun spoke, the originally swarthy Xu Jie by his side actually started to turn red.
Sensing Old Madame Xu's gaze on him, Xu Jie immediately raised his head and spoke with his chest puffed up: ”Father said that the maids by Old Madame's side are even stronger than the ladies in the village. He said that he hopes that Old Madame, on account of the relationship between him and the general back then, can betroth me a maid that knows his manners.”
When the two brothers, Xu Jun and Xu Jie, spoke out, Old Madame Xu already understood Xu Er's intentions.
He, Xu Er, was afraid that they wouldn't meet again in a few years. She didn't believe that his sons would ask her to arrange a marriage for Xu Jie, and even asked her to be a servant of Xu Family.
This was to tell her that as long as Xu Family were needed, he would promise two things and willingly send his son to Xu Family as a servant.
