In the capital, Xu Yanzhu and Xu Nuanwen were worried about when Xu Shiqiu would come to the capital, and at the same time, Xu Shiqiu was discussing the matter with Old Madame Xu.
”Mother, I have already written a letter to elder sister, I have asked her to send someone to clean and fix the house, and when Yuanxi is older, I will return to the capital.” Initially, Xu Shiqiu only planned to leave in May or June, but Dong Shu was worried that returning to the capital late would delay his return, so she specially asked Doctor Du about it.
He told Xu Shiqiu that had not only recovered from the attack, but also that he was in good health.
After confirming that his wife and daughter were well, Xu Shiqiu then decided to make a new plan and choose a day to return to the capital in April.
When the Old Madame Xu heard that Xu Shiqiu wanted to return to the capital in April, she understood what she meant.
The current empress had just born at the end of May, and Hu Family was now married to Xu Family. When the empress was born, if Xu Family was in the capital, the empress would definitely invite Old Madame Xu to enter the palace.
Furthermore, a few days ago, he received a letter from Xu Family Hall. The Madame Hu woman who married into Xu Family last year was pregnant and would be born this summer.
No matter if it was male or female, they were both the first in the fourth generation of Xu Family. Therefore, if Old Madame Xu returned to the capital, she could also highlight the importance she placed on the children in the womb of Madame Hu.
The reason why he valued the Madame Hu women was because he valued the Hu Family.
”Then I'll arrange a birthday present for you when we get back.” After Old Madame Xu finished speaking, she thought for a moment before continuing, ”Does your sister know that I'm going back to the capital?”
”I'm afraid not.” Xu Shiqiu also thought about this matter, ”Big sister should have guessed that I would return to the capital, but I didn't know that mother would also return to the capital.” After saying this, Xu Shiqiu then asked in a probing tone, ”Do you want me to mention this in a letter I wrote to big sister?”
”No need, let's not talk about this with her so early. We'll talk about it later.” The Old Madame Xu shook her head as she looked at Xu Shiqiu. After she finished speaking, she pondered for a moment before continuing, ”Are you going to send someone back to the capital first?”
”Yes, second brother Xu Feng will return to the capital first. After he returns to the capital, he will first go see third brother Xu Jun and arrange things there.” When considering the candidates, Xu Shiqiu hesitated for a moment. Xu Feng and Xu Jie both wanted to bring them back to the capital.
However, Xu Jie was not as stable as Xu Feng, so he decided to arrange for Xu Feng to return to the capital first.
As for Xu Feng's family, they would leave with them, safe.
Old Madame Xu was very satisfied with Xu Shiqiu's arrangement, she nodded at him, then turned to Dong Shu who was hugging him: ”Hug Yuanxi for me.”
Ever since Dong Shu gave birth to her baby, Old Madame Xu had been coming to the Shihuan Courtyard every day to take a look at her newborn granddaughter.
In the Old Madame Xu's heart, a fortunate daughter-in-law must have had a lucky granddaughter.
Old Madame Xu did not know if this granddaughter of hers was fortunate, but seeing her little granddaughter grow up everyday, her feelings for Yuanxi grew deeper and deeper.
Hugging Yuanxi at this time, after Old Madame Xu lowered her head to look at her eyes that were filled with spirit energy, she looked up at Dong Shu and said: ”This time when I return to the capital, I'm afraid that I won't be able to return for a short period of time. ”These days, take advantage of the warm spring flowers and go out for a walk with Shiqiu.”
After saying this, the Old Madame Xu felt Yuanxi, who was in her embrace, move. She hurriedly lowered her head to look at her, and after making sure that she wasn't making any trouble, she looked at Dong Shu again and said: ”When we get out, we can carry Yuanxi to the Main Yard. I'll look after him for all of you.”
Upon hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu's eyes lit up as she nodded at her, ”Then I'll have to trouble mother.”
Seeing that Dong Shu did not seem embarrassed at all, Old Madame Xu became more and more satisfied with her.
In Granny's heart, a daughter-in-law like Dong Shu, who was obedient and placed her son in her heart, was the most satisfactory.
Seeing Dong Shu's nod, Old Madame Xu finally brought the drowsy Yuanxi into Dong Shu's embrace. ”I see Yuanxi is about to fall asleep.” After saying that, Old Madame Xu raised her head to look at Dong Shu who had received Yuanxi, ”I was looking at how you lost so much weight just as soon as you were born.”
Dong Shu did not expect Old Madame Xu to suddenly say these words.
She opened her eyes wide in shock, and when she saw the worry in Old Madame Xu's eyes, she quickly blushed and lowered her head in silence.
Old Madame Xu originally thought that Dong Shu was too tired, but he didn't expect to see her blushing.
Old Madame Xu was also an experienced person, when she saw Dong Shu's red face, she immediately looked at him and said sincerely: ”Yin-Qiu, after the woman had given birth to her child, her body was different from before. But right now, Madame Dong is also doing it for your sake, you cannot despise her. ”
Xu Shiqiu never thought that his mother would blame him wrongly. He really wouldn't mind the meat on his wife's waist.
