lucky star girl

Chapter 53 Preparation
Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking at this moment, but she could feel the tightening of his arms around her. She leaned on his chest, and could clearly feel his heart beating for a moment just now. get faster.

It's just that Dong Shu didn't know what to say, so she could only lean on Xianggong's chest and let him hug her.

Xu Shiqiu didn't stay here with his arms around Dong Shu all the time. After about another cup of tea, he let go of Dong Shu and took her away. After visiting Xu Yanzhu, he returned to Shi Huan Courtyard .

The silence just now really made him intoxicated.

But Xu Shiqiu also understood that if he wanted to give the little lady a happy life, he couldn't always be immersed in that kind of life.

Not long after Xu Shiqiu brought Dong Shu back to Shihuanyuan, Cuihua, who was going to lead Xu Jun and Xu Jie, also returned to Shihuanyuan.

Seeing Cuihua come back, Xu Shiqiu let her rest for a quarter of an hour, and then went to inquire if there were any older scholars in the town and the county.

"The old scholar can't be too old. You can choose a few first, and report to me later, and I will investigate carefully."

Xu Shiqiu didn't dare to randomly choose an old scholar to come to the Xu family, not only because the Xu family had her little lady and some young girls.

The most important thing is to find an old scholar who has a good temper and can understand what he wants them to learn.

What Xu Shiqiu wanted was not a group of students who would take part in the imperial examination in the future, but helpers who could read and read books.

If Xu Jun's family really has a son who is suitable for studying, he will directly send him to a good academy instead of staying at home and delaying it.

Xu Shiqiu thought so in his heart, and roughly told Cuihua what he meant.

Cuihua frowned and nodded after listening to Xu Shiqiu's words, and then left the main house of Shihuanyuan.

After watching Cuihua's back completely disappear, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Master, is it a bit hard for Cuihua to do these things?"

Dong Shu didn't think that Cuihua would fail to do what Xu Shiqiu ordered, but was really worried about Cuihua's hard work.

Since Cuihua arrived at Shihuanyuan, Cuihua has washed their clothes, cleaned the courtyard, watered the flowers, fetched water, and boiled water on weekdays, almost all done by Cuihua alone.

Dong Shu didn't understand before, but now she knows that these things are done by at least two or three servants in the yard of her mother-in-law and Yanzhu.

Although Cuihua is stronger than ordinary male servants, she is still a girl after all.

It used to be enough for her to be busy doing things in Shihuan's courtyard every day, but now, she is even required to do things outside.

Xu Shiqiu didn't think so much at first, but after listening to Dong Shu's words, after thinking about it carefully, it was true that he hadn't considered thoroughly.

But this time, he couldn't find a suitable person for a while, so Xu Shiqiu could only keep this matter in his heart, thinking that he would find someone to share these matters with Cuihua in the future.

At that time, one person will be in charge of things inside Shihuan's courtyard, and the other will be in charge of things outside.

But since the little lady opened her mouth today, he should give Cuihua some rewards.

Most importantly, Xu Shiqiu did not expect Cuihua to be so capable.

At the beginning, he just tentatively asked Cuihua to do some things, but later he found that she could do a lot of things that the servants might not be able to complete quickly. .

It has to be said that Xu Shiqiu didn't expect that the servant he randomly found when the little lady had her menstruation would be so capable.

Xu Shiqiu felt that it must be the little lady's great fortune, that's why he was allowed to find such a capable and obedient Cuihua.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu immediately looked at Dong Shu and said, "To find a servant as capable as Cuihua, it must be because the lady is so blessed." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu said with emotion: "Before there was no lady, I was No such luck."

Dong Shu couldn't see Xu Shiqiu saying such things the most. When Xu Shiqiu mentioned this matter, she immediately stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, then looked at him and said seriously: "Sister, don't say such things in the future. No matter what you do, don't care about me. Anyway, I'm just your wife, and you're just my husband-in-law."

Dong Shu watched Xu Shiqiu just finished speaking, then Xu Shiqiu reached out to put her in his arms and kissed her lips.

This meeting was at Shi Huan Courtyard, and Dong Shu also knew that no one would come except Cuihua, so after Xu Shiqiu kissed her, not only was she not afraid, but she actively raised her hand to hook his neck and tried to cooperate. with him.

Xu Shiqiu originally just wanted to kiss the little lady superficially, but who knew that she would take the initiative to cooperate with him.

In this way, what was originally just a superficial kiss slowly developed to the point where the two rolled onto the bed involuntarily.

Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu still thought it would be daytime, so he didn't bother much. As soon as he touched Dong Shu once, he quickly got up and dressed, fearing that he couldn't bear it any longer and would delay the night's work.

After Xu Shiqiu got up, Dong Shu just lay down for another quarter of an hour. When Xu Shiqiu finished boiling hot water and carried it to the ear room, she got up to take a shower and make up, preparing for the evening banquet.

Tonight's dinner is said to be formal, but due to the identities of Xu Jun and Xu Jie, it is destined not to be too high-end.

But if it's not official, their father was a brother and brother of the deceased general after all, and they also came here specially to help Xu Shiqiu, so it was appropriate for the Xu family to arrange a dinner for them.

Thinking about these things, Dong Shu chose the dress to wear tonight.

The upper body is a pink blouse and a silver-red double-breasted bijia embroidered with camellias, and the lower body is a light beige horse-face skirt.

The color of this outfit is brighter, and with a few jewelry decorations, it is more formal than it looks in the morning, but it is not too solemn, which is just right for her age.

Dong Shu would dress up like this because she guessed that Mrs. Xu and Xu Yanzhu would never choose this color at night.

As expected, she guessed the truth correctly, Mrs. Xu and Xu Yanzhu's dresses were slightly formal but not too solemn.

The old lady Xu chose crimson purple, and Xu Yanzhu was her favorite lake blue.

The dishes for the Xichen Banquet in the evening were exquisite but not too expensive. Seeing these, Dong Shu felt that she had guessed correctly. Although her dress tonight was not guided by Xu Yanzhu, she did not make a mistake.

It seems that she can try to choose clothes and jewelry by herself in the future.

Neither Xu Jun nor Xu Jie thought that the Xu family would prepare such a sumptuous dust-cleaning banquet, but Xu Jun and Xu Jie felt flattered by the lack of a formal reception in the eyes of the Xu family.

The two brothers ate exquisite dishes they had never eaten before, and they also made up their minds in their hearts that they would work hard in the future to win their own heirs, and they would be able to live such a life in the future.

Xu Shiqiu didn't know what Xu Jun and Xu Jie were thinking. After the dust-cleaning feast, Xu Shiqiu discussed with their two brothers. They took a day off and started helping him with things the next day.

Letting the two brothers Xu Jun and Xu Jie rest for another day is also Xu Shiqiu's plan to break down the things he was going to do before, to see if there is anything that he must do if he is not in a hurry.

After all, there are not so many people now, and he can't finish all of them in a short period of time.

Since Xu Shiqiu spoke, Xu Jun and Xu Jie naturally didn't say much. After Xu Shiqiu proposed to have them take them around Xiahe Village the next day, the two accepted the arrangement.

Xu Shiqiu finally made a detailed arrangement of what he was going to do after a day's arrangement.

In the early morning of the third day, after Xu Shiqiu got up for morning exercises, he ordered Cuihua to invite Xu Jun and Xu Jie to the first living room of Shihuan Courtyard, and was going to inform Xu Jun and Xu Jie of his arrangements.

"There are two most urgent things to do now.

The first one is the tea house in the county, and I plan to give it to my wife's cousin.He had been a waiter in a restaurant for several years before, and he was also the lady's cousin, so he didn't have to worry about being loyal.

But a few days ago, he broke his leg that hadn't grown back, and now he has a longer time to recover from his injury, but the follow-up changes in the teahouse in the county need someone to watch. "

After Xu Shiqiu said this, he took a sip of tea from the teacup at hand, and then continued: "This is the first thing. Apart from this, I have several other things in the county. All the shops in the town used to be owned by my mother, but now I take over, and I plan to take my wife to inspect all of them.

See how the business of these shops is, whether they need to be changed, and let the people in the shop know that this shop is now mine.

Of the two elder brothers, one of them needs to accompany us to inspect these shops. If there is any problem, I can arrange it in time. "

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Xu Jun looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "We brothers can do these two things well."

Xu Jun looked at Xu Shiqiu's words, and Xu Jie also nodded and said: "Third brother is right, the things you said in Shiqiu can be done by one of us brothers. The shop that needs to be changed is in the county. We Even if you go, one day is enough to walk back.”

After listening to Xu Jun and Xu Jie finish talking, Xu Shiqiu nodded in satisfaction before saying, "Since that's the case, there is one more thing that needs to be done by another brother."

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu took another sip of tea, and then continued: "In addition to the shops and fertile land in the county and town, the property I got is the shops in the capital, two farms and Some fertile land.

Originally, the shops in the capital were managed by my sister's people. Although my sister would not plot against me, I was married after all, so I couldn't always count on my sister.

So maybe after the second brother arrives, there will be another brother who needs to return to Beijing. "

After saying this, seeing Xu Jun and Xu Jie looking at each other in surprise, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and then continued, "My two Zhuangzi outside the capital were bought by my father before.

The steward of the Zhuangzi was a soldier who followed his father back then. After being injured, he was arranged by his father to work in the Zhuangzi. Although he has done a good job for so many years, he only grows and sells grain every year, and has no other income.

I remember that the two Zhuangzi are both big Zhuangzi with mountains and lakes. As long as the planning is good, it is impossible to only grow and sell grain every year.

Both elder brothers have cultivated land, so they should understand what I mean, and I don't know if what I said is right. "

Xu Shiqiu had never planted land before, so all his guesses came from the books he had read.

So after saying these words, he looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie nervously, waiting for their answer.
