Xu Yanzhu did not say those words, she only thought for a moment, when she came back to her senses, she saw Cui Hua holding a pomegranate in her hand, looking at her.

”First Miss, do you want to eat pomegranate?”

Hearing Cui Hua's question, Xu Yanzhu looked at her and shook his head, then said: ”I just left home, I don't want to eat it, I'll eat it when I feel homesick.” After saying this, Xu Yanzhu seemed to have thought of something, and laughed for a bit before continuing: ”This year's number of pomegranates produced by the Shihuan Courtyard is not many, so Third Aunt giving me half of them would hurt Third Uncle's heart, I need to save up on my food.”

”Listen to First Miss and eat when you're homesick.” After saying that, Cui Hua put away the pomegranate that she had just taken out, ”These pomegranate fruits were personally picked by the servant himself. The lady said that the meaning of these pomegranate fruits is good, she said that you must bring them with you.”

”It's exactly like this in the Third Aunt. Because this pomegranate tree was planted by the Third Uncle, after she became pregnant this year, everything went smoothly. I keep thinking that it's because of this tree.” Saying that, Xu Yanzhu thought about the expression on Dong Shu's face when she gave the pomegranate to him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu laugh, Cui Hua heaved a sigh of relief. She was truly afraid that the First Miss would be sad that she had left home.

In the carriage after leaving Xiahe Village, Xu Yanzhu, who was sitting inside the Mule Cart, couldn't bear to eat the pomegranate Dong Shu gave her. Inside the Shihuan Courtyard, Xu Shiqiu peeled a piece of pomegranate for Dong Shu.

Seeing the sparkling and red pomegranate seeds on the plate in front of him, Dong Shu picked up two of them and placed them into her mouth. After chewing for a while, she then spat out the two small white pomegranate seeds and looked at Xu Shiqiu: ”Master, although there aren't many pomegranates produced by this tree in our courtyard, it's still quite sweet.”

Saying that, Dong Shu grabbed two pomegranate seeds and put them into her mouth.

Seeing Dong Shu happily eating, Xu Shiqiu called Ling Xiang over and washed his hands before saying, ”When I first moved the pomegranate tree, I asked the old farmer who was an expert in growing trees. The old farmer said that the number of fruits would be different every year, and every three years, there would always be a year when there would be more fruits.”

Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking and that she was nodding towards him. Then he smiled lovingly and shook his head: ”If you like to eat it, then I'll get people to move and bring it back next spring. But there is no place to grow Shihuan Courtyard, so I can always find a few places where I can plant pomegranate trees in my family. ”

”There's no need for that.” Dong Shu's eyes lit up as sshe looked at Xu Shiqiu. After saying this, he laughed and said, ”The reason why I like eating this pomegranate is also because this tree was planted by Master, and because I like Master, that's why I love it.”

Although it wasn't the first time Xu Shiqiu had said these words, he felt incomparably happy every time he heard them.

”Hmm, your husband also likes his wife.” After seeing Dong Shu finish speaking, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while, then said: ”Now that Yanzhu has left home, there are a lot of things happening outside, do you need someone to accompany you at home to talk?”

”It is a bit boring, but I have already told Yanzhu that after she left home, I would go see Mother everyday. After she writes me a letter, I will tell her about Mother's situation.” After Dong Shu finished speaking, he looked at who was smiling at him, and said embarrassedly: ”Hubby, wait for Yanzhu to send me a letter, can you not read it?”

Xu Shiqiu never thought that the Young Girl would say something like that. He looked at her and saw her serious expression, then nodded: ”Naturally, I won't read the letter Yanzhu wrote to my wife. But did you agree with Yanzhu that the letter was for you? ”

”It's a deal, Yanzhu also promised me that she would keep writing me letters.” Dong Shu's tone was filled with joy. Seeing that Hubby nodded, she then spoke out, ”Yanzhu even said that after I give birth to her, I must write to her as soon as possible so that she will know about it.”

”Okay, when you give birth, your husband will write to her immediately.”

Xu Shiqiu just looked at Dong Shu until she finished a pomegranate and was about to fall asleep before he sent her off to rest.

”First Miss and Cui Hua have just left their homes. You should pay more attention to Madam. If you discover that Madam is not in a good mood, you must inform me in time.”

Xu Shiqiu watched as Ling Xiang finished giving instructions before he left the backyard to take care of matters in the front courtyard.

Dong Shu was currently pregnant and loved to sleep everyday. Although she didn't sleep very long, she had to sleep for a bit every morning and afternoon.

Originally, when she was not pregnant, she could go and learn how to read from Mister Shi in the morning, or talk to Xu Yanzhu in the afternoon, or sew clothes to pass the time on her own at Shihuan Courtyard.

However, after Xu Yanzhu left, although she could still learn from Mister Shi every morning, it would still be a lot harder to endure in the afternoon.

Previously, she could still make clothes for the child in her womb, but after making a few sets, not only did Xu Shiqiu stop making clothes for her, she himself felt that it was boring.

Although she would visit the courtyard of Old Madame Xu every two days to talk with him, the rest of the time she was bored.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu still had the time to chat with Dong Shu every two days, but when Xu Yanzhu left, it was right in time to see the autumn harvest. The manor was busy, and the shop had been busy for quite a few days after the autumn harvest.

Until the beginning of October, Xu Shiqiu finally started to have time to accompany Dong Shu.

In this month, Dong Shu had received three letters from Xu Yanzhu. The latest one was about the things Xu Yanzhu had told him after she arrived in the capital.

”Master, luckily Cui Hua followed Yanzhu to the capital, otherwise she wouldn't even have a helper.”

When Dong Shu thought about Xu Yanzhu, she brought up this matter again.

Xu Shiqiu rubbed his legs that were swollen from being pregnant, and after hearing what Dong Shu said, he first looked up at her, and then said: ”Yanzhu has been living with Mother for so many years, so he will definitely not get used to living with Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law.”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and continued: ”Based on the date, Yanzhu will be married in a few days. The next time she writes a letter, I'm afraid it will be written after she marries into the Jiang Family.”

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu was instantly attracted to her as well. Thinking that it would be better for Xu Yanzhu to live happily with her parents after marrying into Jiang Family, Dong Shu hurriedly said to Xu Shiqiu, ”Hubby, I'll write a letter to Yanzhu tomorrow, don't worry about me.”
