C53 (1/2)

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, but she could feel that her husband's embrace was tightening. Leaning against his chest, she could clearly feel his heartbeat quickening in that instant.

It was just that Dong Shu didn't know what to say at this time, so she could only lean against her chest and allow her to hug him.

Xu Shiqiu did not stay there with Dong Shu in his arms for the entire time. After the time it took to make a cup of tea, he released Dong Shu and brought her away from this place.

That moment of tranquility a moment ago had indeed enchanted him.

However, Xu Shiqiu also understood that if he wanted to give the Young Girl a happy life, he couldn't just immerse himself in it forever.

Not long after Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu back to the Shihuan Courtyard, Cui Hua, who had gone to lead the way for Xu Jun and his, also returned to the Shihuan Courtyard as well.

Seeing that Cui Hua had returned, Xu Shiqiu let her rest for a quarter of an hour. Then, he asked around to see if there were any older Elementary Scholars in the town.

”The old Elementary Scholar isn't too old. You should go pick out a few and report them to me. I'll go investigate them later.”

Xu Shiqiu didn't dare to casually choose an old Elementary Scholar to come to the Xu Family not only because he had her Young Girl s, but also because he had a few young girls.

The most important thing was to find someone with a good temper who could understand what he wanted them to learn.

What Xu Shiqiu wanted was not a group of students who would participate in the Imperial examinations in the future, but a helper who could read books.

If the Xu Jun Brothers truly had a son suitable for studying in their home, he would directly send him to a good school to study, instead of delaying him so much by staying at home.

As Xu Shiqiu thought about this, he also roughly explained his own intentions to Cui Hua.

After Cui Hua finished listening to what Xu Shiqiu had to say, she frowned and nodded, then left the main hall of the Shihuan Courtyard.

After watching Cui Hua's figure completely disappear into the distance, Dong Shu then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, ”Husband, handing these matters over to Cui Hua, isn't that a bit difficult?”

It wasn't because Dong Shu didn't say what she wanted to do, but because she was worried that it would be hard on Cui Hua.

Ever since Cui Hua arrived at the Shihuan Courtyard, the two of their clothes had been completely washed by him. The courtyard was swept and she had practically personally finished watering, fetching water, and boiling water.

Previously, Dong Shu didn't understand, but now, she knew that all of these things were done by at least two or three servants in Yanzhu and her mother-in-law's courtyard.

Although Cui Hua was stronger than most male servants, she was still a girl after all.

Originally, doing things within the Shihuan Courtyard was enough for her to get busy. But now, even matters outside the Shihuan Courtyard required her to come.

Xu Shiqiu originally did not think that much either. After hearing Dong Shu's words, after careful consideration, it was indeed because her own considerations were not thorough.

However, he was unable to find a suitable person for now. Xu Shiqiu could only keep this matter in his heart, and thought that he would find someone else to share these matters with Cui Hua.

At that time, one person would be in charge of matters within the Shihuan Courtyard while the other person would be in charge of matters outside.

However, since the Young Girl had spoken today, he had to give Cui Hua some rewards.

The most important thing was that Xu Shiqiu did not expect Cui Hua to be so capable.

In the beginning, he had only asked Cui Hua to do some things, but after realizing that she could actually do things that many male servants might not be able to complete quickly, and after encountering some things, he subconsciously thought of instructing Cui Hua to do them.

It had to be said that Xu Shiqiu never thought that the servants that he casually found when the Young Girl came over for the month would actually be so capable.

Xu Shiqiu felt that this must be because the Young Girl's luck was really too deep, which was why he was able to find such a capable and obedient Cui Hua.

Thinking to this, Xu Shiqiu immediately looked towards Dong Shu and said, ”It must be because my wife has too much good fortune that I was able to find such a capable servant like Cui Hua.” After saying this, Xu Shiqiu sighed with emotion: ”Before I didn't have my wife, I didn't have such good luck.”

Dong Shu could not bear to see Xu Shiqiu say such words, upon hearing Xu Shiqiu mention this matter, she immediately extended her hand out to cover's mouth, and then looked at him seriously and said: ”Hubby, don't say such words in the future. ”No matter what you do, or how I do, I am still your wife, and you are just my husband.”

Dong Shu saw that right after Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu immediately pulled her into his embrace and kissed her lips.

This was happening at the Shihuan Courtyard, and Dong Shu knew very well that no one would come except Cui Hua. Therefore, when Xu Shiqiu personally went over to her, not only was she not afraid, she even took the initiative to grab his neck, and tried to cooperate with him.

Xu Shiqiu had just wanted to kiss the Young Girl lightly, but who knew that she would actually take the initiative to help him.

In this way, the kiss that was just a tiny bit like a dragonfly touching the water slowly developed until the two of them couldn't help but roll onto the bed.

Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu still thought that it was daytime and didn't overdo it. Once Dong Shu made a move, she would hurriedly put on her clothes and get up, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold herself back and delay the events of the night.

After Xu Shiqiu got up, he only laid for fifteen minutes. After Xu Shiqiu finished boiling the hot water and mentioned it to his ear, she got up, showered and cleaned his face, preparing for the banquet tonight.
