lucky star girl

Chapter 62 Dreaming
In Shihuan's courtyard, Dong Shu was dressed in a panic, and she still kept muttering, "Master, you saw that I didn't wake up, so you should call me more. Today is the day when Shuo'er returns to Beijing. It brought a lot of fun, and I always want to give him a gift." As she spoke, Dong Shu also quickly dressed, and walked to the dressing table to put her long hair up.

Seeing the little lady's anxious appearance, Xu Shiqiu remained the same as before, sitting calmly aside and said: "My lady is not in a hurry, Ye Shuo has such a temper, he will never leave until we wait."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu stopped her movements and glanced at him, then resumed the movements just now, "But we can't keep him waiting for us." After saying this, Dong Shu quickly moved her After combing the long hair, and then simply washing up, he hurried out.

Seeing that the little lady was so eager, Xu Shiqiu couldn't delay any longer, so he could only follow the little lady out quickly.

"I don't know if it's because the weather is getting hot these two days and I can't sleep well at night. I can't get up in the morning." Dong Shu said to Xu Shiqiu beside her while walking: "After sending Shuo'er off later, I Thinking about asking Dr. Du to come and show me what's going on."

"Well, then I'll ask Cuihua to invite Dr. Du when I go back to be my husband." Although Xu Shiqiu liked to watch Dong Shu sleep, since the little lady was worried, he would pamper her, and it was okay to invite the doctor to see her.

The two talked and walked to the gate.

At the gate of Xu's house, Ye Shuo stuck his head out of the mule cart for the fifth time to look. When he stuck out his head this time, he finally saw Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu.

"Hey, third uncle, you are really slow. If you don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to town by noon today." Ye Shuo said such a sentence when he saw Xu Shiqiu. He hurriedly said: "You promised me yesterday, and today you will come see me off with Third Aunt."

Hearing Ye Shuo's words, before Xu Shiqiu could speak, Dong Shu said first, "Blame me for snoozing, actually your third uncle got up early." Dong Shu watched Ye Shuo finish speaking, seeing that he didn't speak, then called Cui Cui Huajiang prepared the fillings by herself last night, and this morning Cuihua got up early to make the dumplings, "These are the dumplings made by Cuihua and me. Although they are not exquisite, they are all the ones you liked before. You brought them Eat on the road."

"I knew that my third aunt loved me, and she was still thinking about the dumplings I like to eat." As he spoke, Ye Shuo directly opened the bamboo basket that Cuihua sent over, squeezed a steaming dumpling from it, and put it into his mouth "It's shepherd's purse meat. Didn't Third Aunt say that it's already the season to eat shepherd's purse?"

"I asked Cuihua to collect these in the village. Now there are very few tender ones. I searched all over the village to find some. I only made so many dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and meat. If you like them, you can eat them again in the spring of next year." Dong Shu looked at them. After Ye Shuo explained the source of the shepherd's purse, he still didn't forget to invite him to come early next year.

Upon hearing Dong Shu's words, Ye Shuo wanted to agree as soon as his eyes lit up, but as soon as he raised his head, he bumped into the eyes of the third uncle staring at him.

After Ye Shuo nervously swallowed the saliva in his mouth, he looked at Dong Shu and said, "Third Aunt, I'm afraid I can't agree to you. My father agreed to leave Beijing this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Beijing at will next year." After saying this, Ye Shuo felt sad for a moment, then proudly raised his chest and said: "But I have learned to recognize shepherd's purse from you, and I will definitely find it next year when I go to the Zhuangzi outside the capital. Home, let the cook at home do it."

"That's fine." Although Dong Shu regretted that Ye Shuo would not be able to come again next year, she thought of what her husband had said to her a few days ago, and thought that she would go to the capital next year, so she was not so sad.

"Be careful on the way, and remember to write a letter when you get home." Dong Shu was still a little bit reluctant to part with Ye Shuo, a pistachio. During the days when he was at home, there were indeed a lot of laughter in the house.

"I knew that the third aunt liked me the most. Don't worry, I will definitely write to you and the third uncle when I return to Beijing." After Ye Shuo patted his chest and promised Dong Shu, he glanced at Xu Yanzhu and said, "I will also Those who write to my cousin, cousin, you must write to me."

"Okay, let's go quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Beijing to reunite with my aunt and uncle for the holiday." Xu Yanzhu has also been annoyed by Ye Shuo these days. She doesn't want to go out, so he can just stay in her yard with a stern face. Let's go, insisting on dragging her out, I don't know how to avoid suspicion at all.

Ye Shuo was not at all unhappy because Xu Yanzhu said such words, on the contrary, he could feel that cousin Yanzhu cared for him.

"Hehehe, cousin, don't dislike me, maybe we will meet soon." After Ye Shuo said this to Xu Yanzhu, he was afraid that Xu Yanzhu would talk about him again, so he immediately got into the mule cart and said loudly to Xu Yanzhu. Everyone bid farewell: "I'm leaving, I'll be waiting for you in the capital." After saying this, Ye Shuo quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears secretly streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Xu Shiqiu and others who were standing at the door could hear the crying in Ye Shuo's last words, but they didn't open their mouths to reveal the matter.

"Well, be careful on the road." After Xu Shiqiu said this, no one spoke again.

After Ye Shuo left the gate of Xu's house with the four people who protected him and the things that Mrs. Xu and Xu Shiqiu were going to give to Xu Nuanwen, Xu Shiqiu was just about to take the little lady and niece home when he saw Ye Shuo leaving just now. On that road, another group of people appeared.

Seeing that group of people, Xu Shiqiu frowned just when Xu Jun and Xu Jie, who were standing not far from him, suddenly became excited.

"Shiqiu, it's the second brother who brought them here." After Xu Jun said this excitedly, he took two steps forward quickly. After taking two steps, he realized that he stopped and looked up. Xu Shiqiu said embarrassedly: "Shiqiu, I'll go to meet the second brother first." After saying this, without waiting for Xu Shiqiu to speak, Xu Jun ran forward quickly.

Seeing the third brother leave, Xu Jie first smiled, and then said: "The third brother doesn't miss the second brother, but the third sister-in-law." After saying this, Xu Jie deliberately blinked at Xu Shiqiu wink.

It wasn't until he finished this action that he remembered that there was such a big girl as Xu Yanzhu here.

Although Xu Yanzhu was not young, according to his seniority, he was his junior after all, so he would say these words in front of his junior, Xu Jie blushed nervously.

"Yanzhu, you go back first and tell your grandmother that the rest of Uncle Xu's family has arrived, and the big kitchen has to prepare meals." Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanzhu after saying this, Xu Yanzhu also came back to his senses, After slightly curtseying to the elders, he turned around and entered the courtyard.

After seeing Xu Yanzhu leave, Xu Jie stretched out his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment, then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Shiqiu, I was too quick to talk just now, and forgot that my niece was still there."

"It's nothing, the family was here just now." Xu Shiqiu understood Xu Jie's temper, but after saying this, he still reminded: "But fourth brother still needs to correct this problem in the future, it's nothing to do here, But if it's in the capital, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary troubles."

Xu Jie also understood that Xu Shiqiu said this for his own benefit, so naturally he would not be disobedient.

While Xu Shiqiu was talking with Xu Jie, Xu Jun also welcomed Xu Feng and his party.

"Second brother!" Xu Jun first called Xu Feng, the leader, and then saw his eldest son, second son, and second brother's second nephew sticking out their heads from the mule cart and waving excitedly at him, then he was busy Looking at Xu Feng, he said, "Second brother, just now Shi Qiu just sent his nephew away, and now he is still waiting at the door, we'd better hurry over there."

Xu Feng was different from Xu Jun and Xu Jie, he didn't have many expressions on his face, when he heard Xu Jun's words, he just nodded slightly, and then he only glanced sideways behind him, the three boys who poked their heads just now shrank back in fright. go back.

"Third brother, is everything going well with you?" After the children had all shrunk into the mule cart, Xu Feng looked at Xu Jun and began to inquire. When I came back to find us, I thought, I’m afraid everything is going well for you.”

"Not only is it going well, the old lady of the Xu family has already written a letter to my father, saying that she wants to recognize him as the brother of General Xu and our family as offshoots of the Xu family." Xu Jun has been following Xu Shiqiu these days, and he has fully understood this. The benefits brought to my family, "With a family, the boys in our family will no longer be bullied no matter whether they take the imperial examination or join the army, and they don't have to worry about being replaced."

"Well, this is indeed a good thing." Xu Feng was not as excited as Xu Jun. In addition to seeing the benefits of recognizing the sect to their family, he could also see the benefits of this matter to Xu Shiqiu's family.

"Then what have you and your fourth brother been doing these days?"

"My fourth brother and I, we..." Xu Jun knew that his second brother was smarter than himself, so when he asked, he didn't hide it, he just said everything.

When Xu Feng and Xu Jun arrived at the door of Xu's house, Xu Jun happened to tell Xu Feng what happened these days.

After Xu Feng learned that Xu Shiqiu had specially invited an old scholar to teach their family how to read and write, his impression of Xu Shiqiu was much better.

This meeting saw Xu Shiqiu waiting at the door. After jumping off the shaft of the mule cart, he cupped his fists and saluted Xu Shiqiu, "Third Young Master."

The woman who followed Xu Feng out of the car was a woman with gentle eyebrows. After she got out of the car, she saluted Xu Shiqiu a little cautiously: "Third Young Master."

"Second brother and second sister-in-law don't need to be polite, you two call me 'Shiqiu' just like the third and fourth brothers." When Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Feng, he knew that he had a different temperament from Xu Jun and Xu Jie. Don't say it calmly, even if you are thinking in your heart, you don't show it on your face.

As for Xu Feng's wife, he naturally didn't scrutinize her too much. He just glanced over and knew that she was a woman with very gentle eyebrows and eyes.

"The family has already ordered me to go down and prepare the meals, and please ask the second brother and the second sister-in-law to lead the nephews and nieces to have a rest and eat." After saying this to Xu Feng, Xu Shiqiu looked aside to help his wife get off the mule cart Xu Jun said: "There must be three ships beside the third brother."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Mrs. Lin, who had just been helped out of the mule cart by her husband, glared at Xu Jun, then looked at Xu Shiqiu and laughed heartily, "Exactly, I am the wife of Xu Jun's family."

Seeing Xu Jun's wife's behavior, Xu Shiqiu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "The third brother is very lucky to be able to marry a woman like the third sister-in-law." After Xu Shiqiu said this, he took Dong Shu by the hand. hand, introduced her to people who did not know her: "This is my wife."

Dong Shu is not as gentle as Xu Feng's lady, nor as sharp as Xu Jun's lady, but she looks more delicate and younger, so Ma and Lin immediately praised her when they saw her.

"Oh, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are really being compared today." Xu Jie held Xu You, the youngest of Xu Jun's family, in his arms. My son's complexion is not good, presumably several nephews and nieces are like this, why don't we hurry in and have a rest?"

"Look at me, I actually forgot about it." Xu Shiqiu was reminded by Xu Jie, so he took the opportunity and invited Xu Feng and others to come in.

Xu Feng and his party did not expect that they would come in through the gate of the Xu family.

After entering Xu's house, Xu Feng really believed what Xu Jun said to him before seeing the respectful servants and the kind attitude of the old lady Xu.

Because of the arrival of Xu Feng and his party, the Xu family was lively again today.

When he returned to Shihuan Courtyard at night to wash up and rest, Xu Shiqiu remembered that he forgot to ask Cuihua to invite Dr. Du.

"It's nothing, just ask Dr. Du to come and show me tomorrow." Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu after saying this, yawned and was about to go to sleep.

Seeing the little lady's sleepy appearance, Xu Shiqiu frowned immediately, and decided that tomorrow no matter what, he must ask Dr. Du to show her.

But this night, Xu Shiqiu had a dream.
