”Also, your second uncle Xu's family's Xu Jie is currently in the capital. With Xu Feng and Xu Jun there, he won't have to stay at home all day, he can also follow you to the barracks.” Seeing that Xu Shiqiu finally understood, Old Madame Xu mentioned Xu Jie.
Xu Jie was different from Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping was a servant of the Xu Family after all, but Xu Jie, according to the relationship between Xu Er and Xu Zhenbei, was actually Xu Shiqiu's elder brother.
With Xu Jie here, Xu Shiqiu also had another helper from his clan.
Xu Shiqiu was enlightened by Old Madame Xu's words, and he became more confident about what was happening in the army camp.
Dong Shu sat by the side and listened quietly. Even if she did not understand what she said, she did not ask her.
When the Old Madame Xu was tired and they returned to the Shihuan Courtyard, Dong Shu began to ask and then Xu Shiqiu patiently explained everything to her.
”My wife, your husband did not come up from the lower levels of the soldiers, and there aren't any members of our Xu Family in the army either. Therefore, the moment your husband entered the military camp, he showed off his true abilities as a general of the fourth rank and caused quite a few people to feel quite displeased.”
Xu Shiqiu understood all of this, so when he first entered the army camp, he made preparations to be troubled by others.
However, he did not expect that these people would not only make things difficult for him, but also make it so that the recruits he had recruited had no food to eat.
”Your husband's been thinking about this for the past few days. Before, he also thought about whether he should go find His Majesty, but then your husband figured it out. His Majesty gave your husband a fourth rank from the very beginning, probably on purpose.”
As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu opened her eyes wide in shock.
However, when she thought about it carefully, she had to admit that her husband was right.
”Then what should we do?” Dong Shu understood in her heart that it was impossible for her husband to not take this official position, so he could only go forward to face the adversity.
Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu looked worried, but was also a little reluctant. He felt that he shouldn't tell her about her analysis.
His own Young Girl should have been carefree and carefree every day.
However, Xu Shiqiu also understood that from the moment he decided to return to the capital, Young Girl could no longer continue being carefree.
It was all because of him. Because of Xu Family, his wife had to learn these things that she originally didn't need to understand.
Whatever Xu Shiqiu was thinking in his heart, he immediately said it out.
When he said that, Dong Shu immediately shook her head: ”Hubby, it's not like that.” Dong Shu was not willing to see such a decadent Xu Shiqiu. She raised her hand to stroke Xu Shiqiu, and after smoothing his frown, she continued, ”I believe that Master will definitely be able to resolve this matter.”
After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a moment and continued, ”Besides, I'm really not tired from learning all these, I'm also willing to do so.”
Xu Shiqiu understood that the reason the Young Girl was willing to learn all this was all because of him.
Lowering his head, and after kissing Young Girl's lips, Xu Shiqiu then opened his mouth and said: ”However, after talking to Mother today, your husband has thought of a few ideas. ”My wife, don't worry. Your husband will solve these problems.”
Dong Shu firmly believed in Xu Shiqiu, upon hearing his words, she believed that she could indeed do it.
However, Dong Shu was still thinking whether she could help her. She didn't plan to ask others about this matter, but wanted to ask Xu Nuanwen instead.
The second day was Xu Family Banquet's day. Because it was Resting Sun, Ye Jingxing also accompanied Xu Nuanwen to the Xu Family.
After sending Xu Nuanwen to the backyard, Ye Jingxing brought his three sons to find Xu Shiqiu after paying respects to the Old Madame Xu.
Xu Nuanwen came the earliest. When Ye Jingxing led his three sons away, she discovered that her mother and sister-in-law were looking at her as if they had something to say.
”Mom, is something wrong at home?” After all, Xu Nuanwen had been raised by the Old Madame Xu. Since she was the only daughter of the family, she had followed Xu Zhenbei around for a while.
With just a glance, she could tell that Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu had something on their minds.
”Yes, I have something to tell elder sister.” Seeing Xu Nuanwen had opened her mouth, Dong Shu immediately followed up with a question.
Seeing Dong Shu anxiously opening her mouth, Xu Nuanwen immediately laughed: ”Luckily I came early today, speak, what happened at home?”
Seeing that Xu Nuanwen had no intention to ignore it, Dong Shu immediately told him what she had said last night.
”I understand what hubby means. He doesn't want me to tell anyone about this, but I think that big sister is not an outsider. Furthermore, I also want to ask big sister if you have a good idea.”
Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, the Old Madame Xu continued, ”You're familiar with His Majesty's personality. Look at this, what exactly does His Majesty mean by this?”
After Xu Nuanwen heard Dong Shu's words, she started to wonder just what exactly His Majesty meant by this.
When she heard her mother's words again, Xu Nuanwen knew, and her mother guessed that this matter was probably due to His Majesty's orders.
”If I'm not wrong, His Majesty will intervene in this matter in a short amount of time. Perhaps His Majesty will take the initiative to ask for him.” After all, Xu Nuanwen had been married into the imperial family for more than ten years, and she had been intelligent since a young age.
Once she heard the words of Dong Shu and Old Madame Xu, she immediately guessed the real motive behind this matter.
”Encountering these kinds of things is actually not that special. Many generals would encounter these kinds of things after being promoted. It's just that the number of things they encounter during the autumn is a bit more.” Xu Nuanwen opened her mouth to speak, but after she finished speaking, she paused before continuing, ”It's just that His Majesty wanted to hand over the military power to Shiqiu, yet didn't want to easily obtain it at this time of year. The most important point is that we are still unsure if he is as loyal to us as father is. ”
After Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, the Old Madame Xu immediately understood.
Seeing that Dong Shu did not understand, Xu Nuanwen then continued to speak, ”Since childhood, I have stayed at home, and after that, I have lived in the Xiahe Village for ten years. ”After ten years, even though father was loyal to His Majesty, he died because of His Majesty.”
A trace of ridicule flashed past Xu Nuanwen's eyes when she brought up this matter. If it wasn't for the fact that Ye Jingxing had treated her well, she would have left him when she found out about her father's accident.
”His Majesty wanted to use Shiqiu to harass him, but he was afraid that he might know something, so he prepared to give him a hard time. When Shiqiu was unable to persevere any longer, either he or the Lord of the Prince Duan would step in and help him.”
Xu Nuanwen immediately spoke up. After she finished speaking, she saw that Dong Shu had widened her eyes in shock, and hurriedly broke into laughter, ”Therefore, it's fine if you don't take the initiative to look for His Majesty, but it's also fine if you take the initiative to look for His Majesty as well. ”If you want to be at ease with His Majesty during the season, you'll have to bow your head to him first, whether you're on the initiative or passive side.”
