When it was the fifteenth day of the first month, Dong Shu had already woken up before the sky had even begun to brighten.

Just as she was about to quietly get up, who knew that Xu Shiqiu beside her would wake up the moment she woke up, and sense her movements. She immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around her waist, and said: "Sleep a while longer, it's still early."

"What's too early? Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law are coming to our house for breakfast this morning. Although I had instructed the kitchen over and over again, master still doesn't have the right to directly sleep in front of guests."

Although she said that, in the end, Dong Shu borrowed Xu Shiqiu's actions to lie down again. After lying down quietly for less than an incense's time, Dong Shu still climbed back up.

After being tormented by Dong Shu, Xu Shiqiu had also lost his sleepiness, thinking that Yuanxi, his family, had not even finished the third or the full moon, so capturing Zhou was Mother's idea to cause a ruckus. It was only natural for Young Girl to be so concerned about him.

"It's still cold, you should wear more. If you can't, hug a warm stove in your arms." While talking, Xu Shiqiu also followed Dong Shu and stood up. Seeing movement coming from outside, he knew that Ling Xiang and the rest had woken up.

"I know. Hubby still has some time before your daily morning practice. Why don't you sleep for a while longer?" As Dong Shu spoke, her hands also quickly helped herself to get dressed.

Although their status and identity were different now, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were not used to servants serving them in the house.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu laughed in his heart, but he held back and laughed: "You're worried about Yuanxi seizing the Zhou banquet, how can it be possible that I, as your father, am not thinking about it? You can go busy yourself, I'll go train in the morning, and then, I'll personally take Yuanxi with me. "

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately stopped her movements, turned, and kissed Xu Shiqiu lightly on the lips.

"I knew Hubby was the best." As Dong Shu spoke, her pair of new moon eyes also shined shockingly.

But Xu Shiqiu, who would have thought that Dong Shu would suddenly kiss him, before he could react, and just as she was about to embrace Young Girl to deepen the kiss, Young Girl who just finished saying that had already walked out a few steps, away from him.

Xu Shiqiu laughed bitterly at his actions, but in the end, he could only watch as Young Girl quickly dressed and left the room, calling Ling Xiang and the others to bring hot water.

However, Xu Shiqiu's heart, after being kissed by Dong Shu just now, had instead turned into a ball of fire.

After calculating in his heart when his guests would be able to leave tonight, he decided to have a good night's fight with the Young Girl twice.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, she was concerned about other matters. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she simply pulled back her hair and walked outside with her cape draped over her shoulders.

She still had to go to the kitchen after all, so Dong Shu didn't rush to comb her makeup. Even the clothes she wore were still the ordinary clothes she usually wore at home.

When Dong Shu arrived at the big kitchen, the big kitchen was already busy.

This morning's meal, was only for his own family, and even Xu Nuanwen, the outsider married woman, was unable to come back to eat.

Although he was only from the Xu Family himself, the Xu Family that had reached the Xu Family yesterday was also present.

This was the first banquet guest for the third branch of the Xu Family. Adding on the fact that the sons of the Xu and second branch families were gradually gaining prospects, their side branch Xu Family could be considered quite good.

This way, just based on Xu Family alone, there would be three to four tables of people in the morning.

"How are your preparations?"

Dong Shu asked the moment she entered the kitchen. The moment she finished speaking, the two stewards of the large kitchen arrived in front of her one after the other.

The man in the front answered respectfully: "Madam, the people in the big kitchen have divided into three groups to keep an eye on us. The fire in the big kitchen has not stopped yet. We can only wait until quarter to noon to deliver the food to the hall."

Just as the male manager finished speaking, the female manager who was behind him also spoke up, "The food that Madam has ordered for the past few days has been prepared. In addition, all kinds of small snacks are prepared according to the snacks provided by Madam in the kitchen. "

After listening to the two stewards' words, Dong Shu nodded her head in satisfaction.

"We are all family members in the morning. Although the food need not be extravagant, it must be guaranteed that the master and his wife will have the perfect time to eat it. That specially made Five Blessed Noodles, you must wait until it is on the table before you cook it properly. "

When Dong Shu's voice fell, the two stewards naturally immediately responded respectfully.

The noodles that Dong Shu talked about was something that she had accidentally seen in the kitchen that was made with vegetable juice and noodles.

At her command, the kitchen used four different kinds of vegetables along with a plain white noodles. They specially made this' Five Blessed Mask 'out of a kind heart.

Therefore, today's' Five Blessed Noodles' was not enough for everyone to eat, so no one could only try a little. If one wanted to eat enough, they still had to eat other things.

Not only this noodle soup, Dong Shu had also spent a lot of time thinking about the soup and the water in it. The reason why Dong Shu made the kitchen think about it for a long time and specially made out dozens of flavors was so that the whole family could eat happily this morning.

Of course, other than the longevity noodles that would definitely be available today, the big kitchen had also made all kinds of exquisite food. There was the traditional taste of the city, as well as the unique taste that Xu Shiqiu had at the northern border.

Dong Shu walked around the big kitchen and confirmed that all the big kitchen was prepared. Then, he returned to the Shihuan Courtyard.

When she returned to the Shihuan Courtyard, it was already five in the morning. She quickly used hot water to wash her body, changed into the first dress for today's banquet, and then walked into the room to prepare to put on her makeup.

"My wife's outfit is not bad." Xu Shiqiu had already finished his morning practice, but he had not woken up yet so he ate two pastries instead.

Seeing that Dong Shu wanted to dress herself, she immediately raised up the candlestick in her hands and walked towards her.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu laughed and said: "For today's Yuanxi's Zhou banquet, Mother specifically told me to prepare a few sets of dresses. They said that it was for one set for the morning, and that they would change for another after breakfast. After Yuanxi finished her week of capturing, they would change for another set to send him off after lunch. "

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu remembered seeing his three new sets of clothes in the wardrobe when he woke up earlier.

"Could it be that you made three sets of new clothes yourself, and so did I?"

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu knew that he had seen the three sets of clothes that were compatible with him, and immediately laughed: "It's not you, Yuanxi also made three sets, and Mother made three sets of new clothes."

When Dong Shu said this, Xu Shiqiu did not know what to say.

After all, the situation at home wasn't that they couldn't afford a few new sets of clothes. It was possible to have thirty sets, let alone three.

It was just that Xu Shiqiu did not expect that this was specifically instructed by his mother. After all, his mother was not such a flamboyant person before.

Dong Shu saw that Xu Shiqiu did not make a sound, and secretly laughed a bit but did not speak.

In truth, Dong Shu did not tell them the truth. This time, last year, not only did their family make three sets of new clothes, but because Master was not at home before, he only made five sets of clothes that could be used for banquets. For their ancestors and grandchildren, each of them made more than ten sets.

Now, Dong Shu did not lack good materials, and there were even some good materials that Xu Nuanwen had gifted him in the Old Madame Xu, so naturally, she would not be reluctant to part with these materials.

Forget about the clothes, Empress Hu not only gave Dong Shu clothes materials, she even gave him a lot of good fur and jewelry.

Moreover, Dong Shu felt that what her mother-in-law said was right, this was the first time Yuanxi captured Zhou was having such a large feast since the Third Branch of the Xu Family had returned to the capital.

As he was thinking about this, Dong Shu's hands did not stop moving either.

Right now, she was already used to her dressing up. Her hand speed was not slow yet, and when she finished dressing up and carefully applied some rouge, it was already almost quarter to eight.

Just as Dong Shu was getting ready to dress up, Xu Shiqiu had also changed his clothes. At the same time, he was awoken by his wet nurse and Mama Yan.

Once they reached Main Yard, they were immediately praised by the Old Madame Xu.

After the three of them paid their respects to the Old Madame Xu, Xu Er and his grandchildren arrived, and even the gatekeeper had some activity. Xu Mingyuan and Xu Xiaozhi had also brought their entire family over.

They chatted and laughed until the dining hall was settled. The family didn't use the screen to block them, so it was time for the morning.

According to the rules, Madame Ye, Madame Jiang and Dong Shu should go and serve Old Madame Xu, but Old Madame Xu did not have the personality of someone who liked to mess with her daughter-in-law. Furthermore, in her eyes, she was family, so she did not care about all these.

"Stop tormenting yourself, we don't need to care about the rules." The Old Madame Xu immediately sat down again with a smile. The moment they sat down, they heard the Old Madame Xu continuing to speak: "The breakfast this morning was prepared by Yuanxi's mother. She usually likes to study these dishes.

Old Madame Xu took the initiative to speak, and did not have any rules that stated whether she ate or slept, so the others naturally knew that she was in a good mood and followed.

At this moment, everyone looked at the small bowl in front of them. The five colors mixed together, making them somewhat dazed. This was the first time they had seen longevity noodles.

"This is the Five Fortune Noodle Soup that I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare. Due to the difficulty in obtaining the juice of the dishes, there aren't many of them." Dong Shu said, but was a little embarrassed. After all, there were not many people here.

But Dong Shu thought too much into it, after hearing Dong Shu's words, everyone did not feel uncomfortable.

After all, it was still Dong Ri. Who knew how much effort he had put into getting so much juice and noodles.

Furthermore, the other dishes were also very delicious. Even the Madame Ye, who usually ate an exquisite meal, couldn't help but praise 'Third Sister-in-Law's coincidental thoughts'.

The family chuckled and left the hall at the end of the morning.

Everyone should go to make things more convenient for themselves. Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also brought Yuanxi back to change. According to the rules, in a quarter of an hour, the guests should also arrive.
