Chapter 91 His Suggestions
Yuzhu was ordered by Zhou to bring soup to the eldest son. At this time, she was standing outside, looking at the dim lights inside, her heart pounding.
Although she had seen the eldest son many times in the past, she had rarely seen him alone like this.
In the past two years, the eldest son was obsessed with mourning his deceased wife, and Zhou had never made any promises to her, but things were different now.
She heard the nanny in the room say that the eldest master went to Lingxi to see Miss Xu today.
Does he value that unmarried girl so much?
I heard that Yan Ge'er likes her too.
Yuzhu couldn't help but tighten her hands holding the soup bowl.
"Young Master! It's me!" A woman's voice sounded at the door.
Wang Wendong raised his head and looked over. Seeing that it was the maid from his mother's room, his mind suddenly became clearer.
He sat up from the bed and asked calmly, "Is it another soup sent by mother?"
Yuzhu replied softly, "Yes, Master! It's still the Golden Jade Soup."
The recipe for Jinyu Soup includes yam, chestnuts, and wolfberries, and the soup recipe is adjusted according to seasonal conditions.
Now that it is spring, the main ingredients are fresh shepherd's purse and pork liver.
Wang Wendong was already used to it, so he didn't even raise his eyebrows and pointed towards the table beside the bed.
Yuzhu walked over cautiously, but when she put down the soup bowl, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the eldest master who was sitting there.
The man in front of me spread his legs, and perhaps because his pajamas were too thin, that part became even clearer.
"Get out!" Suddenly, the man sitting on the bed shouted.
Yuzhu's face flushed red, and it took her a while to realize that he was talking to her. She retreated in panic.
After the maid left, Wang Wendong's face immediately turned dark. Feeling a little annoyed, he went inside to take a cold shower before resting.
Yuzhu was terrified when she left the house. Thinking of what had happened in the house just now, she felt ashamed and guilty.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Zhou remembered that she had just delivered soup to her eldest son. Although she did not ask directly, she smiled knowingly.
Two days later, Zhou went to the residence of Marquis Zhongqin. Marquis Zhongqin's wife was well-known for her popularity in the capital, so when everyone thought of matchmaking, she was the first choice.
Mrs. Bo was a very kind person. After hearing the purpose of the visit from the wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan, she agreed readily.
It's just that the young lady is about to give birth in the next two days, and her son is not at home, so she said that she will be free in a few days. There is no reason for Zhou to refuse.
My daughter-in-law has been gone for more than two years, so there is no need to rush.
After Zhou returned home, Wang Wendong soon found out.
"You rushed here in such a hurry just for this matter?" Zhou looked at her son. Why was he so anxious?
Although she complained a little, she didn't say anything in the end.
Facing his mother's inquiring gaze, Wang Wendong felt a little uncomfortable.
I was indeed a little impatient!
He smiled and said, "Isn't it a mother's wish for her son to remarry? But I can't have only Yan Ge'er as a child."
There is no mother who doesn't want to have a house full of children and grandchildren. After Wang Wendong said this, Zhou smiled.
In Songhe Hall, Old Madam Xiao received a letter from Qinghe that day. It was sent by her sister-in-law from the clan, saying that her grandson was going to get married. Thinking of how they had not seen each other for a long time, she felt quite emotional.
The old lady also said to her eldest grandson, "I really want to go back and take a look, but it's a bit far."
Xiao Mo seemed to consider it seriously. "Grandmother, if you want to go back, I will send more guards to see you off. But who will accompany you? Mother has to take care of the Duke's Mansion, and Second and Third Aunts have to take care of their husbands and children."
Madam Xiao fell silent for a moment, then suddenly heard him say, "Grandma and Cousin Xu are destined to be together. Why not let her accompany you? Didn't Grandma always say that she is thoughtful and flexible?"
The old lady shook her head. "It will probably take me two months to go back and forth. She can't do it."
Xiao Mo laughed: "Why can't she? Why doesn't grandma trust her at the critical moment?"
Madam Xiao smiled and said, "It's not that I don't trust her, but the child is already grown up, and now is the time to talk about marriage, so I can't let her run around with me."
Xiao Mo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "How about this? You take her away first. When you come back, I promise to help her find a husband of her dreams. Is that all right?"
Seeing his serious look, the old lady was a little surprised: "Do you have a choice?"
The person in front of him hummed.
In this case, the old lady began to think about it carefully.
At night, Songhetang sent Chunsheng to Jiyunzhai to call the cousin, saying that the old lady wanted to ask her opinion on something.
Xu Shuyao changed her clothes in a hurry and arrived outside Songhe Hall, where she saw the prince coming out.
She lowered her head and called out, "Cousin!"
Xiao Mo stared at her for a moment, with a casual smile on his face: "See you in two months!"
Xu Shuyao was about to ask again, but the man had already left.
She looked at the back, shook her head, and immediately stepped onto the front steps.
When Old Madam Xiao saw her, she smiled kindly: "Yaoyao is here? Come and sit down!"
Then he took her hand and said, "I have something to tell you!"
Xu Shuyao felt a little nervous when she thought of the prince's nonsensical words of seeing each other in two months.
She looked at the old man in front of her seriously: "Well, you say!"
"I plan to visit my hometown in Qinghe. I haven't been back for many years since I married into the Duke's Mansion." Old Lady Xiao said with a smile.
"I asked you to come here because I wanted you to go with me." Before she could say anything, he continued, "As for your younger brother, I've asked Mo'er to have someone look after him. He shouldn't suffer any loss, and he certainly won't be bullied."
Xu Shuyao knew that Qinghe was nearly a thousand miles away and it would take about half a month to get there by post road.
She had nothing to do at the moment, so she immediately replied, "Okay!"
Madam Xiao smiled and said, “It’s good to go out for a walk when you are young.”
Then he said to her, "Don't worry too much about your marriage. Maybe you'll meet someone when you go out this time."
Xu Shuyao was not willing to give up the opportunity to go on a long trip with the old lady, but she was a little worried about her younger brother.
The old lady seems to have great confidence in her eldest grandson. Should she believe Xiao Mo?
The only person she thought of in the entire mansion was her fourth cousin, but after what happened on New Year's Eve, she didn't want to trouble him again.
The Fifth Young Master has such a rough personality...
After much thought, Xu Shuyao felt that there was no one left to trust.
He had no choice but to write a letter to Manager Yang in the shop, telling him that he was going on a long journey and asked him to look after his younger brother secretly. If he encountered any problems that he could not solve, he should come to the Duke's Mansion to ask the Prince for help.
After making up her mind, Xu Shuyao first took the opportunity to explain everything to her younger brother when he returned home.
The next step was to pack my luggage. Since I had been on the road for so long, I had to bring a few more sets of clothes.
Although she hadn't bought any new clothes for herself in the past two years, the Duke's Mansion made new ones every season, so she had enough to wear.
And in the mansion of Marquis Zhongqin, Mrs. Wu finally gave birth to a boy last night.
Zhou got the news quickly and had someone prepare gifts. The wife of the Earl of Zhongqin had previously said that she would propose to Miss Xu after the third-day bathing banquet.
