153, the old lady pretending to be deaf (3 more)
Xu Shu is twenty years old this year. He is not older than Song Wei, but he is not young than other people who get married earlier.
It’s not that the family has arranged for him to discuss the marriage, but it hasn’t happened any time. Over time, he became annoyed.
Even in order to avoid discussing relatives, he was willing to study at the Imperial College.
In the Imperial College, people like Lu Yanqing are rare species.
In Xu Shu’s class, there are both supervisors and tribute students. Everyone basically devotes themselves to studying hard, and few people cause trouble. Although Xu Shu didn’t learn well, he was infected over time. In addition, Song Wei, a role model with excellent grades, saw Tianer waving in front of him. Even if his virtue is not good, he will gradually change.
His father Xu Guangfu had discovered it long ago. Since he followed the tribute student named Song Wei to make up for the lessons, he not only could write articles by himself, but even his words and actions were very different from before, which shows that he has made considerable progress.
Xu Guangfu said last year that he would treat Song Wei to dinner, but he never found a chance.
This time, when he heard that Song Wei was going back to Ningzhou to prepare for the provincial examination, he took the initiative to ask Xu Shu to take Song Wei, his little wife and sister home for a meal. It was the Xu family who thanked Song Wei for helping Xu Shu for so long.
When someone said this, Song Wei had no reason to refuse. He discussed it with Song Fang and told her that if she was willing to go, she would go if she was unhappy to go. If she was unhappy, she would not force her.
Song Fang thought for a while and said, "Go."
Song Wei appropriately reminded her, "The General's Mansion is not as good as ours. When you get there, try not to have conflicts with Xu Shu."
Song Fang nodded and said she knew.
The answer was very calm, and it didn't look like a verbal discourse.
Song Wei didn't say anything else, and went out to buy oranges for Wen Wan before the Xu family came to pick up people.
She was so happy that she always wanted to eat sour things. She couldn't eat them for a while and felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to scratch the wall.
In addition to giving Wen Wan's sour oranges, Song Wei also bought gifts to the Xu family and supplements for the old lady. When he came back, the Xu family's carriage had already been parked outside the yard of the alley.
Xu Shu was picking the curtain from inside and greeted Song Wei enthusiastically.
Song Wei looked at the sky, "Why did you come here so early?"
Xu Shu scratched his head and said, "My mother heard that your wife is pregnant, so she insisted that I take the person over early, saying that she was giving her some experience."
Wen Wan is pregnant, her mother-in-law is far away, and her mother-in-law cannot come to take care of her. Her sister-in-law is an unemployed person. She knows nothing about this and does need someone to help guide her.
After hearing this, Song Wei was grateful, "I'm working hard."
Xu Shu held his hand and leaned his back on the carriage, "I won't go in, so as not to get up with Song Xiaomei later. When I get home, I have to be scolded by my father. You go and bring them out!"
Song Wei let out a light whisper and walked into the yard.
Wen Wan waited for the jujube for a long time, but when she saw Song Wei come back, she pouted and her eyes were filled with complaints.
Song Wei explained, "Xu Shu is here. I just chatted with him outside. He said he had to pick up people now. I won't eat the oranges first. I'll go to the car to peel them for you later, okay?"
Wen Wan was so greedy that her saliva was almost flowing down. She couldn't wait until she could touch one of hers herself, and after a few taels of time, she stuffed her skin into her mouth.
Song Wei felt that it could sour when he smelled the smell, but she ate with relish, and his satisfied look made him want to taste it inexplicably.
——
Song Fang had already packed up and changed into new clothes. When she was leaving the hospital, she saw Xu Shu next to the carriage at first sight. She remembered the previous reminder from her third brother, and quickly pulled her back to her eyes.
The carriage is very wide and there is still a lot of room for all four people to sit on.
In the carriage, Song Wei quietly peeled the oranges for Wen Wan. The sour smell of the nose stimulated Xu Shuzhi to sneeze.
Finally, I couldn't help but lift the curtain and sneezed outside twice before turning around, but no one spoke.
Xu Shu couldn't hold it in, "I said, "You guys are so serious about going to our house for a meal?"
His eyes turned around on Song Fang, "Sister Song, you were not very good at speaking before, why didn't you say anything now?"
To be honest, if she didn't say anything and pinched him, he was a little uncomfortable.
Song Fang looked at him lazily, but still had no intention of talking.
Song Wei handed Wen Wan the peeled orange, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and naturally changed the topic, "How is your old lady's condition?"
Xu Shu sighed when he mentioned this, "The condition has improved, but after all, she is old and can't hear anything she says, and it's hard for the servants to serve."
He was embarrassed to say that the old lady couldn't hear her ears and could speak. Every time she saw him, she was urging her to get married and was urging her to death. His mother was busy with the marriage these days.
——
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Xu Shu first took Song Wei and others to see his parents.
Students with excellent grades can be paid attention to wherever they go, and Song Wei is no exception. General Xu Guangfu has long heard of his skipping grade in the entrance examination.
Now that he finally saw himself, the general showed appreciation and praised Song Wei for a few words, saying that he was young and promising, and that he would be able to pass the exam in this provincial examination.
Song Wei has never been arrogant or impatient when it comes to praise others. He politely asked a few words to visit the old lady.
Xu Shu's mother, Mrs. Xu, personally took several people to the old lady's residence in the backyard.
The old lady was being served by her servants to drink medicine. When she saw Xu Shu coming in, there was a pretty girl following her, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Big grandson, is this the grandson-daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Xu was embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "Old lady, you misunderstood. This is not the grandson-in-law, but the guest who came to our house as a guest, Shu'er's friend."
The old lady asked her daughter-in-law at the top of her voice, "What did you say? I can't hear it."
Mrs. Xu was helpless, "Okay, your ears are really useful at the critical moment."
He turned to look at Song Fang and apologized, "Miss Song, our old lady is old, with her back and her ears and is confused. Just think she is just a joke and don't take it to her heart."
Before Mrs. Xu could finish her words, the old lady hit her lap with a crutch and gasped, "What's wrong? Are you cursing me for being confused?"
Mrs. Xu "..."
Didn't you say you couldn't hear it?
The old lady was very energetic at this moment and directed Xu Shu to come up and kowtow to her, asking her to take her grandson-daughter-in-law together.
Xu Shu knelt in front of her and looked up and explained, "Grandma, my grandson-in-law hasn't passed the door yet!"
The old lady cleaned her ears and said, "What are you talking about? Just louder."
Xu Shu “…”
He shouldn't have let Song Fang enter this house.
Seeing the old lady's passionate look, Mrs. Xu had to turn her eyes to Song Fang and whisper, "Miss Song, just act like a show with Shu'er, so that our old lady will be happy. As a helping me. After a while, I will leave this house, do you think it will be the case? "
Song Fang didn't rush to speak, but looked at Song Wei first.
Song Wei said, "You are already eighteen years old, so you don't have to ask me about some things, you can make your own decisions."
Song Fang nodded, walked slowly to the old lady, and knelt down side by side with Xu Shu.
The old lady's face was filled with grip and praised her grandson for her good vision, "Oh, after a closer look, she really looks like a couple."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at his daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Xu agreed, "I'm going to be a couple soon. Can I lose a couple?"
"I love to hear these words." The old lady said happily.
Mrs. Xu thought to herself that's not what you don't like to hear, and your ear will automatically block out and you can't hear it.
Wen Wan felt that the old lady of the Xu family was very funny. Look at her spirit, she could live for at least ten or twenty years, and she had no sign of the deadline at all.
For the sake of the grandson-in-law, the old lady can really act, especially those ears.
The old lady looked at Xu Shu and asked again, "When will you give birth to a fat baby?"
Xu Shu couldn't answer, so he looked at his mother with his eyes.
Mrs. Xu smoothed out, "Look at how worried you are, Shu'er hasn't married anyone yet!"
Seeing the old lady like that, she probably "can't hear" again, and Mrs. Xu felt tired.
Xu Shu has a cousin who has loved Xu Shu since he was a child, and when he grew up, he even wanted to marry him to serve him.
Originally, she and the general thought that the little girl was good, and it was nothing to kiss her. As a result, the girl went to the old lady and was photographed. The old lady refused to let her go and said she didn't like her.
Why is it not advisable to the old lady? It was not easy for her to be a daughter-in-law to ask, so she could only follow the old man's wishes.
This time, there was a guest at home. When the old lady heard that she was sick, she came over to take a good look. This glance made the old lady look good, pretending to be deaf and stupid, and turned the two of them into a pair.
Mrs. Xu really doesn't know what to say.
Because the general is from a grassroots family, they don’t have that strong sense of family background. If this girl really falls in love with Shu’er, it would be fine if she comes to the house to propose marriage. The key is that it’s not the case!
If Shu'er really likes her, I've said it a long time ago, can she wait until now?
What's more, this girl has never allowed her to have anyone else. They don't know whether she has any lovers. Can she do that unreliable thing?
Not long after, the servant came to pass on the meal.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly ordered Xu Shu to take Song Fang and the others out for dinner.
She was not in a hurry to leave and wanted to stay and feed the old lady.
The old lady was in a very good mood today. After taking a few bites, she praised the girl and said that she was a kind-hearted person and could live a life.
Mrs. Xu didn't answer.
The old lady urged her to get the marriage tighter. If she could see her grandson be born before the deadline, she would be at ease leaving.
Mrs. Xu said, "You are so tough. Seeing that Tian'er talked about those unlucky words, he didn't feel uncomfortable."
The old lady pursed her mouth and said, "I have lived a lifetime and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. Can you be a little bit accurate when you look at people? What kind of cousin is that big grandson, who is spoiled, may she be able to serve whom when she gets married!"
Mrs. Xu thought to herself, then you can’t just meet someone and give them some random matches!
"Xiaofang is pretty good." The old lady said again, "It's obvious that she is a child who has suffered hardships. The poor are already a family. The eldest grandson is immature. It's time to find a mature person to manage the family."
Mrs. Xu, "You are right."
