, who was sitting at the side, could think of the same thing.
Dong Shu did not understand so much at the moment. She also did not know that after releasing the golden carp the day before she was born, she had an intuition that was similar to a small beast's.
With her current animal like intuition, looking at her mother-in-law and husband's expressions, she knew that this matter was not that simple.
In the end, how should he handle this matter, the one with the most authority in Xu Family, was still the Old Madame Xu.
Old Madame Xu also did not let Xu Jun and Xu Jie, who were waiting for her, wait for long. She only pondered for a moment, then looked at Xu Jie and said: ”There are quite a few maids with outstanding Xu Family.
Other than the servant girls from Xu Family, if you ever set your eyes on the ladies from the village or town, you can tell me and I will help you think it over and then propose a marriage. ”
After saying that, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: ”Shiqiu, I see that you and Xu Jie are around the same age, how about mother takes him in as her foster son and lets him be your brother?”
Xu Shiqiu could guess what his mother was thinking about when he heard her. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the excited expressions on Xu Jun's and Xu Jie's faces, he shook his head and said, ”I don't think that's appropriate.”
Once Xu Shiqiu said this, Old Madame Xu, along with others, all revealed a look of regret.
Especially Xu Jie, who had a hint of shame on his face as he thought that Xu Shiqiu did not fancy his identity.
Old Madame Xu also thought that Xu Shiqiu did not care much about Xu Jie's background, because she was worried that Xu Jun and Xu Jie would be unhappy, she was prepared to make up for it when she saw Xu Shiqiu looking at her and smiling as he shook his head.
The moment Xu Shiqiu saw the expressions of his mother, Xu Jun, and Xu Jie, he knew that they had guessed incorrectly what their thoughts were.
Thinking to this point, Xu Shiqiu did not delay any longer and promptly looked at his mother, saying: ”I had previously heard Mother mention the friendship between Second Uncle Xu and Father, and Mother had wanted many adopted sons, I feel that it would have been better to have a few more nephews.”
When Xu Shiqiu saw that Old Madame Xu had just finished speaking, Old Madame Xu, who was still worried a moment ago, was stunned. Then, he looked at him with pleasant surprise: ”I did not remember this.”
Finished speaking, Old Madame Xu immediately looked towards Xu Jun and Xu Jie and explained, ”At that time Qiu meant that your father had a good relationship with him, and coincidentally also had the surname Xu.
This way, your fathers would become his father's brothers, and you guys would naturally become the offsprings of our Xu Family. ”
Old Madame Xu was afraid that Xu Jun and Xu Jie didn't understand her meaning. After she finished speaking, she thought for a bit before adding, ”Although our Xu Family is not that of some large clan, we did, after all, have an official or a first grade general once.
Although it was no longer as grand in the imperial court as it was before, it still had some connections.
If you are willing, in the future when your descendants wish to join the Imperial Examinations or join the army, it would be much more reasonable for our family to help you. ”
Lian Sect is a big matter.
It was not because Old Madame Xu had said that Xu Jun and Xu Jie dared to agree. After the two brothers heard what Xu Shiqiu and Old Madame Xu had said, they also understood that being called an adopted son by the Old Madame Xu was naturally not as good as being associated with Xu Family.
But they didn't dare to casually agree.
However, the two brothers understood their father's intentions. Upon receiving the letter from the Xu Family, their father, who did not know many words, specifically threw the matter of him in the fields and braved the spring rain to walk into the town. He found his elder brother's nephew who was studying at the school in the town and had him teach him his beliefs.
After figuring out what the letter said, their father directly went home and called for the four brothers to come and help.
In the end, it was still her big brother who said that they could not leave their family's land. It was also to leave a way out for their family, so that the last person to come would be the three brothers and their young master.
Xu Jun and Xu Jie both knew that even if they agreed to it now, they would only be happy when their father finds out about it. But this time, they still did not dare to agree directly.
There were countless people in Old Madame Xu, so he could guess what the two brothers were thinking when he saw their expressions. After thinking for a moment, he spoke up, ”Regarding this matter, it's better if I write a letter to your father. You two can also send a letter back to report your safety.
Regardless of whether your father agreed to it or not, you will be treated as cousins here at your uncle's place. ”
With Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie nodded to her in relief.
Xu Shiqiu also believed that his mother could settle this matter well, so after Old Madame Xu's voice fell, he looked directly at Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said, ”I am an outsider on the 24th of the tenth month of the fifteenth year, Rui Kang.
Once Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, other than Xu Jun and Xu Jie who immediately had their attention drawn, the first person who caught their attention was Dong Shu.
It was only then that Dong Shu remembered that after marrying her husband for so long, she naturally did not know about her husband's birthdate.
She silently noted down this matter in her heart and thought that she would definitely prepare a birthday present for her husband in October of this year.
