Two days later, the sister-in-law whom Dong Shuzhen had longed for finally arrived.

Accompanying my sister-in-law was her husband, the magistrate of Xunyang County, Li Linzhou.

Xia Wu, a girl who was more lively than anyone else, encouraged Dong Shuzhen to ask her sister-in-law about having children.

As a result, Dong Shuzhen was so shy that she couldn't even say anything... so she missed the opportunity...

Two more days later.

In the East Garden of Dong Mansion, in the small living room of the east and west pavilions.

"Husband, yes, that's it..."

Dong Shuzhen's small hand held Zhu Xiuyuan's big hand, and Zhu Xiuyuan held a brush in his hand. His nimble little hand controlled the clumsy big hand. It was a little strenuous, but Dong Shuzhen enjoyed it...

"It feels a little weird."

The two young couples wrote "together". After writing a calligraphy character, Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the character and always felt strange. It was not that the character was written crookedly and the structure was loose. In fact, with Dong Shuzhen's help, this character was

The writing is very neat.

It's just that Zhu Xiuyuan always feels weird. What exactly is wrong, he can't tell for a while.

"Oh, my uncle's handwriting looks like my lady's handwriting!"

Qiu Wen exclaimed, her round face full of surprise. She looked at her uncle for a while, and then glanced at the young lady. Her eyes moved back and forth between the young lady and her uncle, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth...

"Silly girl!" Xia Wu tapped Qiu Wen's head lightly and said with a smile: "This word was originally written by the young lady and my uncle together, so naturally it has the young lady's handwriting!"

When Xia Wu said this, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly realized. Yes, Dong Shuzhen's handwriting is more graceful and delicate. In other words, it lacks a kind of masculinity...

"You two girls, please stop making trouble. My husband is practicing calligraphy for the first time and needs to calm down."

Dong Shuzhen's small hand was still holding Zhu Xiuyuan's big hand, and she glanced at the two girls.

Xia Wu immediately shut up and covered Qiu Wen's mouth. Qiu Wen let out a soft "woo" and looked at Xia Wu with wide eyes...

"Husband, we don't care about them, we continue..."

Dong Shuzhen is like a conscientious teacher, carefully explaining the methods and techniques of writing calligraphy, and it can be said that she teaches everything she has to offer.

Zhu Xiuyuan blinked, a little unnaturally...

I think back two days ago, Zhu Xiuyuan's "ghost painting talisman" was seen by Dong Shuzhen. Dong Shuzhen knew that Zhu Xiuyuan was a scholar, but why was his calligraphy so bad? Zhu Xiuyuan made up a story, saying that when he was a child, his family was poor and had no money to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so he just

Practice writing on the sand with a wooden stick...

The tip of a brush is soft and naturally different from a wooden stick, so Zhu Xiuyuan can write but cannot use a brush...

The little girl Dong Shuzhen immediately believed in her character, and because she was really busy at home, she began to teach Zhu Xiuyuan how to write calligraphy step by step.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to write. It will definitely be useful in the future, so Zhu Xiuyuan also studies hard. It can be considered that the young lady's hard work is not in vain.

But what Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know was that from now on, his calligraphy would always have a feminine edge, which was more graceful and less masculine, but made a lot of jokes...

…

…

"Second young lady, uncle, it's not good, it's not good..."

Dong Shuyu's maid, Dongmei, jogged all the way to the East Garden. After running into the small living room, holding on to a chair and catching her breath, she happened to see the second young lady and her uncle writing calligraphy "together". They were both talented and beautiful...

Wow, what a harmonious music!

"Dongmei? What happened?"

Zhu Xiuyuan stopped writing, placed the brush on the pen holder, and stared at Dongmei, who was panting.

"Yeah, Mel, what happened?"

Dong Shuzhen and Zhu Xiuyuan stood side by side and also asked.

The two maids, Xia Wu and Qiu Wen, were already supporting Dongmei on the left and right, patting her back gently to help her calm down.

"Miss, uncle, it's not good..." After taking a few deep breaths, Dongmei said intermittently: "Then the Xue family sent someone... sent someone to deliver a betrothal gift, saying that they wanted to marry the eldest lady..."

"Huh?" Zhu Xiuyuan's expression dimmed, his eyes lowered, and he thought to himself: "So... Shuyu chose to marry herself in order to no longer be 'harassed' by me?"

"What!" Dong Shuzhen opened her mouth wide and her eyes widened, "Which Xue family? Who are you proposing for?"

The two maids Xia Wu and Qiu Wen supported Dongmei and fell into a daze. Someone wanted to marry the eldest lady. This thing... was so sudden.

"It's Xue Baochang, the head of the Xue family, a tea merchant from Defu House, who sent a betrothal gift to propose marriage to his concubine's son..." Dongmei finished the sentence while holding her breath.

"What, that consumptive ghost from the Xue family?"

"

"What!"

"What!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen raised their heads together and stared at Xia Wu. Zhu Xiuyuan asked: "Is that person really a consumption ghost?"

"Yes, uncle, it's absolutely true!"

"Uncle... Xia Wu is right, that man is indeed a consumption ghost... the eldest lady also knows..."

"Then Shuyu agreed?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked with bulging eyes, the whites of his eyes turning red.

"No, the eldest lady said... The Xue family came here to roast tea from Dong's Tea House. The eldest lady was ashamed and angry... and went back to her room... Haruyuki was trying to comfort the eldest lady."

"It's okay!" Zhu Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. After he calmed down, Zhu Xiuyuan stared at Dong Shuzhen again: "Madam, go and watch Shuyu, don't let her do stupid things. By the way, have the Xue family left?

"After Zhu Xiuyuan gave Dong Shuzhen instructions, he looked at Dongmei and asked.

"not yet……"

"Okay, I'll go meet them. The Xue family really wants to eat swan meat!"

Zhu Xiuyuan dropped a harsh word and strode out of the small living room first.

At this time, his father-in-law was still on duty at Jiangzhou Prefectural Government, so he probably didn't know about this matter. Then Zhu Xiuyuan would have to take charge of this matter, not to mention that this matter also concerns Dong Shuyu...

Dongmei immediately followed Zhu Xiuyuan and left.

Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu, and Qiu Wen rushed to the eldest lady's boudoir, trotting all the way over with small steps.

Although Dong Shuzhen is simple-minded, she is not unreasonable. It took her sister a long time to cheer up after she was called a "kefu".

But now that the Xue family is twisting together like this, it is simply exposing her scars, which are dripping with blood. Dong Shuzhen is very afraid that she will not be able to think about it and commit suicide...

However, Zhu Xiuyuan strode to the front hall of Dong Mansion. As soon as he reached the garden, he happened to meet the two stewards Dong Yi and Dong Er. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be rushing to the East Garden to find Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Uncle..."

"Uncle..."

"I know everything. Now, you two, go and show yourselves!"

Zhu Xiuyuan had a cold face and a very scary look in his eyes. Both Dong Yi and Dong Er were so frightened that they shrank their necks.

"Uncle, what's going on?"
Chapter completed!
