Chapter 38 Negotiation
As soon as Cuihua said this, Xu Shiqiu subconsciously looked at Dong Shu.

After seeing that the little lady's cheeks were slightly red because of Cuihua's sudden appearance, she immediately loosened her arms tightly, then looked up at Cuihua and said, "Okay, let's go now."

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked down at Dong Shu's eyes again and said, "I don't know why Mother called us, but I will be there later, and I will come forward in everything."

When Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu say such words, she couldn't react for a while, and after a moment of stupefaction, she nodded to him.

Dong Shu didn't think much about it, after all, she also understood that Mr. Xiang would not harm her, and he would say that for her own good.

Although Xu Shiqiu didn't know what the little lady was thinking, it could be seen that after Dong Shu nodded, she still showed a smile.

Seeing that the little lady had no intention of speaking, Xu Shiqiu took her back to the main courtyard where Mrs. Xu lived again.

When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu's first room and second room were not there, and only Mrs. Xu sat alone on the main seat at the top of the hall.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu couldn't help speeding up their pace and walked in quickly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mrs. Xu raised her head slowly, looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, and just wanted to give them a smile, but her face was so stiff that she couldn't smile now because she had been sullen for too long.

Xu Shiqiu naturally noticed the change on Mrs. Xu's face.

He looked at his mother who was sitting on the top seat, seeing her expression, his heart tightened immediately, and he quickly asked: "Mother, what is the matter that you called us here?"

Xu Shiqiu looked at the old lady Xu who had just finished speaking, and the old lady Xu sighed softly: "Shiqiu, I'm afraid there will be chaos again today."

Xu Shiqiu originally thought that his mother would do this because he was angry with his elder brother or second brother, but as soon as his mother's words came out, he knew it was not the case.

Xu Shiqiu deliberately didn't want Dong Shu to hear these troublesome things, but if she didn't stay by his side, he was afraid that something would happen to his mother.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned to look at Dong Shu and said, "Lady, you are tired today, please sit down and rest." As he spoke, Xu Shiqiu led Dong Shu to sit on a chair beside him, and then called the maid, He brought her two plates of dim sum and a cup of tea.

After seeing the little lady happily sitting down to eat snacks, Xu Shiqiu took two steps closer to his mother, ensuring this distance, so that his mother would never have any incidents, then sat down and looked at his mother and said: " Mother, what news did you hear from elder brother?"

When Xu Shiqiu was moving, Mrs. Xu just looked at him quietly. It wasn't until Xu Shiqiu sat down that Mrs. Xu suddenly looked at him and asked, "With Mrs. Dong by your side, you are really as usual?" People are the same?"

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his mother to ask this question suddenly, because he was unprepared, so he was a little dazed for a while.

After a few breaths, Xu Shiqiu finally came to his senses, looked at his mother with a smile and nodded, "Indeed. Since my son married Mrs. Dong, except for the fact that two servants fell down when she wasn't around. Outside the box, for the rest of the time, nothing happened again."

Speaking of this, Xu Shiqiu was in a state of excitement and excitement.

"Knowledge is better than mother", seeing Xu Shiqiu's reaction, Mrs. Xu knew that he didn't lie to herself.

After Mrs. Xu took a satisfied look at Dong Shu, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued, "Since Mrs. Dong is blessed, then you will take care of her more in the future. Mother can rest assured that she is with you."

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his mother to say that suddenly, the smile on the corner of her mouth hadn't had time to put it away, it suddenly tensed up so stiffly.

"Mother, what happened in the end? Even if the day is going to change, could it have something to do with us? Did the eldest brother and sister-in-law here say something to mother just now?"

Xu Shiqiu had already thought clearly for a while just now, what his mother saw just now was his elder brother and sister-in-law, so now his mother will know the news, they must be the ones who said it.

Since Mrs. Xu called Xu Shiqiu here, she didn't intend to hide it from him.

Just now she just saw Dong Shu expressing emotion, and seeing Xu Shiqiu's nervous expression, she immediately nodded to Xu Shiqiu, and then continued: "Your elder brother said that the Holy Majesty felt that he was old and wanted to make another prince. All the princes are ready to move. Before he returned to Beijing, your sister sent someone to bring him a message. Ask our family, but he is still planning to return to Beijing. "

Xu Shiqiu already understood why his mother said that the day was going to be chaotic again when the old lady Xu said the first sentence.

The battle for the throne has been bloody since ancient times.

What's more, this time the Holy Majesty wants to establish another crown prince. Since there is no second son in the middle palace, if the crown prince is established this time, the sons of other concubines have the same chance.

As long as he is established as the crown prince this time, once the sage dies, he will be able to inherit the throne in a legitimate way, and there is no need to try every means to fight for the throne.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu suddenly thought of one thing. Nine years ago, his father would die suddenly, and he might be involved in the matter of seizing the heir.

It's just because he stayed at home every day at that time, he didn't know what happened that day, and he didn't know why his father was willing to choose to die without saying a word.

If Xu Shiqiu was allowed to choose, he would naturally not choose to participate in this matter.

But besides his mother, the elder sister who loves him the most is the fifth prince's concubine.

And since my sister sent someone to ask my eldest brother to bring back a message, then the fifth prince must have this intention as well.

If the fifth prince treats his sister badly, or if his sister doesn't give birth to an eldest son, maybe he won't be worried.

However, the fifth prince not only likes his sister, the three sons of the fifth prince's mansion so far, except for the eldest son and youngest son born to his sister, the only concubine is his sister's dowry concubine Teng, who was born to his aunt's cousin. .

If the fifth prince can win that position, then the one who will ascend the throne in the future is very likely to be his nephew Xu Shiqiu, and his Xu family can also become a high-class family.

However, Xu Shiqiu hesitated when he thought of the little lady who was eating snacks on a chair not far from him.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Xu Shiqiu looked at the old lady Xu and said, "Mother, I don't want to go back to Beijing. I like the life in Xiahe Village. It will be enough for us to open a few shops and buy some fields in the future." The family lived.

If the brother-in-law has that kind of thought, it is enough to have the eldest brother and the others in the capital. "

Xu Shiqiu said such things because he considered Dong Shu's temperament. If he came to the capital, he might not be used to contacting those noble ladies in the capital.

Although Xu Shiqiu hardly ever went out when he was in the capital, he still knew a little about the women in the capital.

With such a soft temperament, his little lady might not be able to bear the bitterness among those women.

How could the old lady Xu not be able to figure out her son's thoughts? As soon as he said this, she understood his thoughts.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Xu still felt that Dong Shu, the daughter-in-law, was not very satisfied, but after the return of the eldest and second wife this time, she finally saw it clearly.

Among the three daughter-in-laws, Dong Shu, who looked stupid and didn't know any rules, was the best.

Such a temperamental daughter-in-law is the most suitable for his third son who loves to think too much since he was a child.

Thinking of this, she looked up at Dong Shu, and saw that she had no intention of listening to what she had to say to her son, and was only concentrating on eating the snack in front of her, which made her feel even more good-natured.

If it was Ye Shi and Jiang Shi, one of them must be listening with airs, while the other can't wait to calculate in his heart.

The old lady Xu looked at Dong Shu very directly, so Xu Shiqiu naturally noticed it.

But after he saw the satisfaction in his mother's eyes, he didn't say much.

After the old lady Xu glanced at Dong Shu, she looked back at Xu Shiqiu and said, "I understand what you mean, but since your sister sent someone to send a message to your elder brother, and asked him to bring the message back, I'm afraid your brother-in-law is really I have that thought.

Besides, your sister and brother-in-law both know that you love to practice martial arts since you were a child. She received a letter from me before and learned that you married a lucky woman, so she probably wanted you to go to Beijing to lead the army. "

When Mrs. Xu talked to her son, she didn't hide it, and directly expressed her guess.

When Xu Shiqiu heard that his mother had actually written a letter to his sister saying that the little lady was blessed, he was immediately taken aback.

Soon, he understood what his mother and sister meant.

"My sister wants me to take over the military power left by my father." After Xu Shiqiu watched his mother say this, seeing his mother nodded expectantly, he shook his head and continued: "But mother forgot that elder brother Jia Yanqing is going to marry What about Mrs. Hu?
The eldest brother and sister-in-law will marry the Hu family, probably in order to further deepen the relationship with the Holy Majesty and the Queen.

Yan Hao also loves martial arts, and is the grandson of King Duan.

After my father left, the military power was taken over by King Duan, but now Ruo Yanhao and I have declared that we want to join the martial arts at the same time, I am afraid that this matter will become a big issue in the end, and my eldest brother and the others will hate me. "

It's not that Xu Shiqiu was arrogant. Although he hadn't lived with his eldest brother's family for many years, his father taught him the art of war, and because of his special physique, Yan Hao couldn't fight him at all. As long as he was alone close to him, he would surely Either he stumbled or something else happened.

It can be said that Hao, after all, has half of Ye's blood.

The old lady Xu also understood Xu Shiqiu's worries, and it was precisely because she understood that she felt sorry for Xu Shiqiu.

"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law came to me just now. Although they just relayed your sister's words, I can also see that they are also afraid of you returning to Beijing." The old lady Xu looked up at Dong Shu again, and then continued: "After all, after you got married, nothing happened again."

Xu Shiqiu found that his mother was looking at the little lady, and although his mother was behind her words, he looked up at his mother and smiled, "But mother, don't forget that if Mrs. Dong is not by his son's side, his son will still cause accidents to those around him.

If I really take over the military power left by my father, is it possible that I will always take Dong with me when I go out?Take her with you when you go into battle to kill the enemy?When it's time to go into battle, I will go forward alone, and rely on my physique to directly defeat the opponent's general? "

The more Xu Shiqiu talked, the more he felt that this scene was really unimaginable.

At this time, Xu Shiqiu never imagined that in the future, because of some things, he would really bring Dong Shu to the battlefield.
