C95 (2/2)

However, he couldn't say anything bad about it.

After Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu finished talking about this, he stood up, put on his clothes and carried Yuanxi out the door. They arrived in front of the wet nurse's house and called for her.

The wet nurse had always taken care of Yuanxi, and was well aware that Yuanxi's appetite had increased.

Hearing the noise outside the door, she did not ask any further questions and directly went out to fetch Yuanxi, who had not woken up yet, into her arms.

Looking at Yuanxi who was in the nurse's arms, Dong Shu pressed a hand on the hem of Yuanxi's clothes around her neck, then looked at her and said: ”When Yuanxi wakes up, wipe her face with warm water.” After saying that, seeing that the wet nurse nodded, Dong Shu continued, ”In a few days, I will first choose two maids for Yuanxi, at that time, they will follow you to take care of Yuanxi.”

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu followed, ”I will also pick a wet nurse, and you will bring her along to take care of Yuanxi. You must definitely feed Yuanxi to her heart's content.” After saying this, Xu Shiqiu then opened his mouth to add: ”At that time, I will also increase your monthly allowance. You must take care of Yuanxi carefully, and I will also take care of your man's matters together with you.”

When Xu Shiqiu first opened his mouth, Yuanxi's wet nurse's heart jumped. She thought that she did not do well, and thought that Xu Shiqiu was looking for someone to divide her work.

But when Xu Shiqiu finished, she understood his meaning.

”Young Master, Madam, don't worry. This servant will definitely take good care of you.”

Hearing his words, Xu Shiqiu then pulled the reluctant Dong Shu back to the main room to continue sleeping.

Because of Yuanxi's crying at night, Dong Shu woke up a little late on the second day. When she woke up, Wang's Disease had already left for Fifth Prince's Palace.

”I haven't read the gift slip yet.” Dong Shu sat in front of the dresser, combed her hair and said to Xu Shiqiu who was looking at the books behind him.

”I saw it. No problem.” Xu Shiqiu did not raise his head, but he did not forget to reply to Dong Shu.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

After Dong Shu combed her hair and quickly ate breakfast, she then walked toward the Main Yard with Xu Shiqiu.

As for Yuanxi, she was carried by her wet nurse as she followed behind them.

Now that they had reached the capital, according to the rules, Xu Shiqiu would naturally bring Dong Shu to pay respects every morning.

Today, Dong Shu still had a lot of things to learn, so she let the wet nurse carry Yuanxi here. Later, she could even bring Yuanxi back first.

The moment Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu arrived at Old Madame Xu's Main Yard, Old Madame Xu looked at Dong Shu and asked, ”Why do you not seem to have slept soundly?”

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu thought about what happened last night.

She thought for a moment, then opened her mouth and told Old Madame Xu about what she and Xu Shiqiu discussed last night.

Earlier, when nothing happened at the Xiahe Village, you personally took care of Yuanxi. But now that you have reached the capital, you will need to become the Sect Leader in the future. You truly do not have time to take care of Yuanxi. ” The most important thing was that the mistress of the family whom their Xu Family interacted with had always been learning about housekeeping since a young age, so Dong Shu didn't have much time left.

Their Xu Family had already returned to the capital, so even if she could appear as the butler right now, the one who would need to interact with the young madams of the various families, would definitely be Dong Shu.

If he didn't learn now, when they spoke together in the future, he would reveal his cowardice.

Dong Shu also understood Old Madame Xu's words. She had told her everything that Xu Shiqiu had told her.

So when she saw that the Old Madame Xu was looking at him, Dong Shu immediately said: ”Mother, don't worry, I will definitely do it well. I will definitely not disappoint you and Hubby.”

Seeing Dong Shu's fighting spirit, Old Madame Xu did not say much.

They only spoke a few words, waited for Old Madame Xu to play with Yuanxi for a while, and the person who went to send them off came back.

”Old Madame, Fifth Prince's Concubine and Young Madam Jiang both said that they would come and pay their respects to you tomorrow morning.”

After the servant woman saw Old Madame Xu finish her words, she then looked towards Dong Shu who was seated at the side and said: ”Third Madame, the Fifth Prince's Concubine and Young Lady Jiang both really like the gift you gave us.”

Hearing the servant's words, Old Madame Xu then knew that Dong Shu had bought a few more gifts that she had prepared.

Dong Shu felt Old Madame Xu's gaze on him and hurriedly explained, ”They were all bought on the road using some of the Xiahe Village's native products, so I can't prepare them as meticulously as Mother.”

”Don't worry, you did well.” Old Madame Xu just did not expect Dong Shu to be able to think about these things so early. After all, there were some people who could not remember these things.

”Since you've already thought of this step, I can teach you more.” After Old Madame Xu saw Dong Shu finish speaking, she immediately got the servants behind her to pass her the menu in front of Dong Shu.

After Dong Shu received the menu, she immediately began to study it, and very quickly, she began to understand the arrangements on the menu.

”About half of this menu is what we like to eat, there are a few dishes that Yanzhu likes, and I think the rest are what big sister likes.”

Dong Shu was very confident in her words, and sure enough, after she finished, the Old Madame Xu nodded at her with a smile.

Because Dong Shu had guessed the arrangement of the menu, the Old Madame Xu let the servants by her side bring him to the kitchen to have a look.

”You don't need to personally go to the buying arrangements, it's usually the servants by your side who go to the kitchen to take a look. Of course, you also have to be sure that your servant woman will do these things with all her heart. ”Although these are all small matters, there will often be a major event that we are unable to accomplish properly.”

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu immediately nodded, and then said: ”Mother, don't worry, I understand.” The more Dong Shu spoke, the more confident she became. Right now, she felt that the butler job wasn't that difficult, and she could learn it very quickly.

Only, Dong Shu did not think that she would encounter a big problem in the kitchen that she was unable to solve at the moment.
