Chapter 61 Disruption
After Ye Shuo let out an exclamation, he also realized that his behavior was too rude, but in the end he just looked at Xu Yanzhu seriously after a moment of awkwardness and confirmed: "Cousin, are you really going to get married?"

After saying this, Ye Shuo thought for a while and asked with bright eyes: "Which family is it from? Why haven't I heard of anyone getting married in the capital?" The few acquaintances who are worthy of the status of cousins ​​thought about it before confirming that their memory was correct.

"Cousin, I really want to get married." Xu Yanzhu replied to Ye Shuo lightly, and after seeing his eyes full of curiosity, he pretended to be annoyed and said: "These things are not something you can ask."

"My cousin is wrong. My mother was talking about this matter with my father a few days ago. She wanted to find a scholar who is a promising scholar in the staff of my father's staff, or someone to be my cousin's husband. Before I came, my father could We've already started asking about it."

Ye Shuo said with a serious face, just looking at his expression, really can't see that he told a lie.

After hearing Ye Shuo's words, Dong Shu's eyes lit up excitedly, and she couldn't help but tightly squeezed Xu Shiqiu's hand, which was holding her.

Sensing the little lady's nervousness, Xu Shiqiu looked at Ye Shuo and asked, "Your mother really told your father about your cousin's marriage?"

"It's natural. If the third uncle doesn't believe it, you can write to ask your mother." Seeing that Xu Shiqiu didn't believe him, Ye Shuo was a little angry, but he looked at the serious eyes of the third uncle, and finally he said patiently: "Mother said she has no daughter. Of the two nieces, only cousin Yanzhu needed her to worry about, so she asked her father to take care of her cousin. Mother also said that it would be best to be a scholar who is going to take the scientific examination next year, so that they can make a marriage agreement this year, and wait for him to pass the examination next year. Cousin holds a wedding."

Hearing Ye Shuo's words, Xu Shiqiu believed his words.

It is really possible that these words were said by my sister.

"That……"

"Uncle Three!"

Xu Shiqiu wanted to continue asking, but Xu Yanzhu interrupted him, "Third Uncle, you don't need to ask any more. Since my parents have already chosen a husband and son-in-law for me, I will marry, and there is no need to bother my aunt and uncle."

Xu Yanzhu's tone was firm, and after saying this, he stood up and saluted Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, "Third Uncle and Third Aunt, it's almost time for me to worship the Buddha every day, so I'll go back first." After the words fell, Xu Yanzhu didn't wait Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu spoke, turned and left.

It wasn't until Xu Yanzhu walked a long way that Ye Shuo came back to look at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Third uncle, my cousin..."

"This matter is beyond your control. I will write to your mother to explain this matter, and see what arrangements she has." Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Ye Shuo, who was originally disappointed by his words, instantly lit up his eyes. Seeing his expression, Xu Shiqiu glanced at him and then said: "I will write this letter to your mother in secret language, you are not allowed to peek!"

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's voice fell, Ye Shuo was like a rooster that was strangled, wanting to crow proudly but couldn't make a sound at all.

It's just that Ye Shuo is still a little unwilling in his heart.

Ever since he learned of his life experience since he was a child, he began to like to inquire about these things.

It's the only thing he's interested in right now.

"This matter is about your cousin's life, so you'd better remember what I said. If you let me know that you peeked at this letter, I will definitely teach you a lesson." Xu Shiqiu guessed Ye Shuo's meaning by looking at Ye Shuo's expression Xin Xin gave him a big stick first, and then continued: "But now there is one thing that Uncle Three secretly entrusts you to do, and it is something you like to do."

Ye Shuo was still sad at first, because he thought of what his grandmother said, and the words of the third uncle today also confirmed that he did know that he had opened the letter written by his mother and concubine.

However, after hearing what Uncle San said later, Ye Shuo still looked at him excitedly and asked, "Don't worry, Uncle San, as long as it's something I like to do, I will do it for you." He also raised his hand and patted his chest to show that he was capable.

"This matter is not difficult to do, but it is easy to do, but there are still some difficulties."

The more Xu Shiqiu said this, the more interested Ye Shuo was, and he wished he could hear the specific arrangement of the third uncle now.

"I will go to the capital at the beginning of next year, but I have been away from the capital for many years, and I don't know much about the situation in the capital. Now I want you to help me go back to Beijing to find out some things in the capital. You can write it to me. As for how to contact me, I will tell you before you return to Beijing. How is it, are you interested?"

"interested in!"

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's voice fell, Ye Shuo answered him, but after saying this, Ye Shuo immediately looked at Xu Shiqiu with a hey hey smile and said, "But third uncle, to inquire about news, sometimes you need to invite people to dinner, you look……"

"I'll give you money too, but you have to control it well, don't waste it."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Shuo had no problem, and kept patting Xu Shiqiu's horse, saying that he had good eyesight, then rushed back to the yard where he lived, and began to think about how to help him after returning to Beijing The third uncle did this well, and even the thing that he had promised to go out to play the next day lost its appeal temporarily.

As for the matter of Xu Yanzhu's marriage, Ye Shuo had already decided that since the third uncle didn't say anything, and he was not allowed to peek at the letter, then he would ask his mother and concubine after he returned to Beijing.

Even if the mother and concubine can't find out, the younger brother who stays with the mother and concubine every day must know clearly.

When Ye Shuo was planning to buy novelty things from outside and go back to lie to his younger brother to inquire about the news, Cuihua also brought Shi Yuan and Mrs. Zhu back.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu received Shi Yuan and Zhu Shi at the Cicada Courtyard in front of Shihuan Courtyard. The couple brought a lot of luggage, which surprised Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu.

"Didn't you agree yesterday that you don't need to bring so much luggage? Why did Yuanhang bring so many useless things?" Xu Shiqiu looked at Shi Yuan after he finished speaking, and saw that he just smiled and didn't speak, so he looked directly at him Cuihua who welcomes people.

"The servant also asked this question, but Mr. Shi said that 'a broken family is worth ten thousand crowns'. These things were accumulated little by little by him and his wife, and he was reluctant to throw them away." Cuihua raised her head after saying this respectfully. After taking a look at Xu Shiqiu, he continued: "Mrs. Shi originally planned to continue renting a house in the town to store these things, but Mr. Shi said that he believed that he was destined to be with the third son, and he would never change his employer in the future."

Xu Shiqiu, who was still a little unhappy at first, immediately became happy when he heard this. He glanced at Shi Yuan who still had a smile on his face, and said, "Yuanhang's idea is good." After saying this, He took another look at Mrs. Zhu before continuing: "This Cicada Courtyard is a courtyard for young couples, the front yard will be used as a school in the future, and the back yard will be the residence of Yuan Hang and his wife.

There is a small kitchen in the backyard. If the wife wants to eat meals made by herself, she can just tell the big kitchen what ingredients to send the day before.If the wife does not inform the big kitchen, the big kitchen will directly send the prepared meals.

I see that you also don't like being served by strangers, so I won't arrange servants for you.What you need in the future, explain to the servant the day before, or ask Cuihua to explain, and someone will be ready to deliver it.

Except for servants who bring food and water every morning, and a few people who come to learn how to read and write with Yuan Hang, no one will disturb you in the afternoon, and it is your own time. "

Both Shi Yuan and Zhu Shi were very satisfied with Xu Shiqiu's arrangement.

"Thank you, Third Young Master, for your careful arrangement. I think this is very good." Shi Yuan could feel the satisfaction of his wife beside him. After he said this to Xu Shiqiu, he paused for a moment and continued: "Before I come down, I'm poor, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. , the third son needs to prepare more."

Shi Yuan didn't ask for books at first, but said pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which was also a reminder to Xu Shiqiu.

"Of course there are these. There is also a study in the front yard, which is reserved for Yuanhang." Xu Shiqiu saw that although Shi Yuan spoke directly, but still concealed something, he continued, "Just tell me what you need after Yuanhang. I love being with people like that."

Xu Shiqiu made it clear, Shi Yuan couldn't pretend to be ignorant, "Yes, I will pay attention to it later."

"Then Yuan Hang and his wife will rest for two days. They also happened to tidy up the yard to see if there is anything missing. We will start teaching when everyone is here."

"Everything is arranged by the third son."

After discussing these matters with Shi Yuan, Xu Shiqiu and Shi Yuan took Dong Shu out of the Cicada Courtyard and did not return to the Shihuan Courtyard, but went to the main courtyard and told Mrs. Xu what Ye Shuo said just now.

"Mother, if my sister can really find a suitable husband for Yan Zhu, how about marrying Yan Zhu to my sister in the capital?"

"If your sister can really find a suitable husband for Yanzhu, mother will try her best to drive your second brother and sister-in-law out of the house, and make a good marriage for Yanzhu." Old lady Xu said this resolutely. , sighed and continued: "It's just that Yanzhu's temper is too stubborn, and the most important thing is herself."

"Mother, I looked at Yan Zhu today, as if I was really going to listen to her mother and marry her cousin." After Xu Shiqiu said this, he frowned and continued: "I plan to bring Yan Zhu and Ye Shuo tomorrow." Going out to play, Ke Yanzhu doesn't want to go out. Also, Yanzhu is only now, why did she start to worship Buddha?"

When Xu Shiqiu said this, he still looked at his mother's face, because he knew that his mother had to worship Buddha every day.

Seeing his mother's displeasure when she heard this, she hurriedly continued: "I'm not saying it's bad to worship Buddha, it's just that Yanzhu is only now, not yet that age."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu thought that her son didn't like her to worship the Buddha, which made her feel better.

"I'll go and persuade her later, you should count her in. If she really doesn't want to, I'll send someone to tell you."

"Okay, then I'll let mother talk about it." After Xu Shiqiu finished talking about Xu Yanzhu, he told Mrs. Xu that he had invited Shi Yuan to be his husband.

By the time Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left Mrs. Xu's main courtyard, it was already half an hour later.

"Sir, you said it's been so long, and neither the second elder brother nor the second sister-in-law sent anyone to pick up Yan Zhu, why can't Yan Zhu come out?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with a puzzled face after asking this question. He just laughed lightly and didn't open his mouth, and hurriedly continued: "Could it be that the second brother and the second sister-in-law didn't say anything, and sent someone to pick up Yanzhu in a few days?"

"It's not impossible." Xu Shiqiu frowned after thinking about the temperament of the second brother and the second sister-in-law in his heart, "I originally thought that it would be safe for the second brother and the second sister-in-law to send Yanzhu back if there was no news. In other words, I think this may be very big.”

The more he talked, the more Xu Shiqiu felt that this possibility was very high.

"Then should you find a solution quickly?" In Dong Shu's eyes, her husband is the most powerful, as long as there is a husband, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

"Well, I will find a way to do this." Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu after saying this, thought for a while, and then said tentatively: "Lady, will I take you to the capital for my husband next year, okay? Just sister It's not convenient to go out of Beijing, so let's go see her and meet the other two nephews."

"Okay! As long as Xianggong takes me, I'm willing to follow him wherever he goes." Dong Shu answered Xu Shiqiu directly without any hesitation.

Seeing her speak without hesitation, Xu Shiqiu also felt that his previous struggles were all overthinking.

It's just that Xu Shiqiu didn't know that his plan to go to the capital at the beginning of next year would be disrupted because of a person who was coming.
