She needed to take care of the dishes at home, and when the guests came, the women came to ask her to take care of it herself.
Yuanxi was still young, and had a female guest of the same generation as her knocking on her door. Naturally, it was received by Xu Yanzhu.
”Old Madame, your daughter-in-law is so filial.” Old Madame Zhang and Old Madame Xu sat together. Seeing that Dong Shu was busy without the slightest bit of impatience, after enviously saying this, he said: ”It seems you know how to switch. To teach others, now that your son is successful and your daughter-in-law is filial, it would be perfect for you to give birth to a grandson in two years. ”
If not for him being close to others, Old Madame Zhang would not have said these words.
Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu caused others to be jealous. Although Xu Shiqiu had no son until now, since Dong Shu could give birth to her daughter, then she could definitely give birth to him.
Furthermore, all the women who had children knew that having children for a long time was bad for the woman. After the first month of next year, Yuanxi would be full of age.
After the Old Madame Xu heard Old Madame Zhang's words, she smiled and said: ”Why are you so envious of me? Your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are also good people.” After saying that, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment before continuing, ”As for whether or not they still have children in the future, I do not care about that matter. Our Xu Family's daughter is more precious than men.”
What Old Madame Xu said was naturally to give face to her own granddaughters, especially the one in the bridal chamber, Xu Yanmo. Now that the marriage had been set in stone, the Madame Ye was looking for a marriage between Xu Yanbo and her.
I think the Madame Ye is also afraid that her health is not good, so she will have to guard three years of filial piety in the future.
She was after all, the eldest daughter of the Prince Duan.
It was just that this matter was not easy to explain, but the Madame Ye did not hide it either, and all the familiar families knew about it.
Since they had reached the topic of marriage, Old Madame Zhang had brought up the matter of marriage between her and her family members in Xu Family. From her meaning, the marriage was set to be at the end of the year.
”Since the two children are suitable, it's only right that we get married earlier.”
Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Zhang Old Madame said embarrassedly: ”Actually, I shouldn't be the one to say all these, it's just that Yanhao really likes to practice martial arts. ”If he wants to participate, our Zhang Family can still help, but for the competition …”
Although Old Madame Xu had remembered these words before, Xu Shiqiu had been too busy to mention it.
Now that Zhang Old Madame mentioned it again, she knew that she was deeply distressed for this junior. This was why Old Madame Xu spoke up: ”Yanhao is Shiqiu's nephew after all. If he really has the heart, he should personally go find Shiqiu. Could it be that he would be able to use others during this time and would not dare to use his own nephew?”
With Old Madame Xu's words, the people from the Zhang Family calmed down.
They were truly afraid that Xu Shiqiu would stop Xu Yanhao and not let him get ahead.
After all, the people who followed Xu Shiqiu before were all conferred official positions, although their rankings were not high, they were still young.
Seeing Ye Shuo's current state, the people from the Zhang Family also felt that if Xu Yanhao followed him, they wouldn't lose out. After all, Xu Yanhao was a person from the Xu Family, and also had the bloodline of the Ye Family.
With the deal set, the smiles on the people from Zhang Family became more sincere, and the Old Madame Xu did not mind about it.
Since they were both her own juniors, she naturally wouldn't allow her grandson to leave this place.
As for getting his youngest son to help him, he would help him whenever he could. Moreover, Yanhao was actually a good child.
When people from the Xu family arrived in Fifth Prince's mansion, Old Madame Xu would also warmly speak to them. After all, they were relatives.
The nurturing of Zhang Family was also not bad. They did not look down on their family's young lady just because of the Xu family's clan.
Although Zhang Family and Xu family's daughter were sister-in-law in another room, both of them had been familiar with poetry since they were young, so it could still be said that they were at the same level.
Originally, this banquet was also very lively. It was supposed to be a gathering of relatives of the Xu Family, and it was currently very lively. Unexpectedly, the Madame Hu was activated today.
Logically speaking, the days when the Madame Hu was pregnant had already passed a few days as planned by the imperial physicians. Today, Japan should not come, but it was after all, the banquet of Xu Shiqiu being promoted to an official. Furthermore, the Madame Hu wanted to give a good impression to the Third Aunt, and ask her to speak up for the Hu Family in front of the Empress Hu.
No one had expected her to give birth so suddenly. Fortunately, the Xu Family's residence was not far from the main house. Rather than asking for a midwife, they might as well take it home in a carriage.
”This child must be blessed to be born today.”
When Xu Chang's wife, Madame Mei opened her mouth to speak, the atmosphere became much better. After all, now that a woman was giving birth, many people despised bad luck.
”It seems that this child is quite slow. He dragged this out for so long before he was willing to be born.” Mother, in the end, you are the son of our Xu Family's eldest grandson.
When Dong Shu opened her mouth, Old Madame Xu had a smile on her face as well.
In the end, the banquet did not go according to plan until the afternoon. After lunch, the relatives left one after the other.
They still had to go home and prepare a congratulatory gift. If Madame Hu could successfully give birth to the eldest grandson, they would have to prepare a wedding gift.
Dong Shu was also busy, so she naturally handed over a lot of things to help Xu Yanzhu.
Although Xu Yanzhu was tired, she was still busy and happy. If her eldest sister-in-law was able to bear children today, she would definitely be able to stay at home for another two days.
It was just that the Xu Yanzhu at this moment did not know that due to her staying here today, something would happen that would change her life.
