The twenty-five years of Jian'an are destined to be another cold New Year for Weiyang Palace, Liu Jing led a large army to join the state, unable to return to Chang'an for the New Year, but Liu Jing's wife and children have long been accustomed to it, in their memory, Liu Jing has not spent at least five or six New Years with them.

The New Year is coming, Weiyang Palace is also like ordinary people, busy cleaning up filth, clean to welcome the arrival of the New Year, at this time the number of eunuchs and palace maids in Weiyang Palace has reached more than 500 people, but also quite a bit of lively atmosphere.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole Weiyang Palace began the final arrangement of the palace, hanging lanterns, wrapping ribbons, cleaning up the garbage, more than five hundred palace people are busy, at this time, a light carriage slowly came from the horse road, the window showed a ruddy and excited face, many palace maids know her, it is Zhuge Xiangguo's daughter Zhuge Guo, she has the privilege of entering Weiyang Palace at any time, but she saw her in the morning, it is really rare.

The carriage stopped in front of the Phoenix Terrace, Zhuge Guo jumped out of the car, just as Tao Zhan walked out of the gate surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids, and looked at Zhuge Guo head-on, Zhuge Guo jumped up happily and waved his hand, "Aunt Tao!" ”

"It turned out to be a fruit, why did you come early in the morning, it's rare!"

Tao Zhan stepped forward with a smile, this girl is the daughter-in-law designated by her husband, although she is not very satisfied, but as an elder, she still tries her best to like this child, Zhuge Guo is very beautiful, her figure is also excellent, she is full of beauty fetus, she is satisfied in all aspects, but her heart is a bit like a child, she is not big, only this makes her not very satisfied, Tao Zhan's only hope is that as she grows up, her heart slowly turns calm.

However, from the current point of view, it seems that we will have to wait patiently for a few more years, and except for Tao Zhan, Sun Shangxiang and Huang Yueying, everyone else is hidden, not to mention these children.

Zhuge Guo didn't have to study today, she seemed very excited, opened the car door and said, "Aunt Tao, look at the military shoes I made." ”

Since November, Tao Zhan has set off a movement among the women of Chang'an, sewing military shoes for soldiers on the front line, using sheepskin as the lining, sewing hundreds of thousands of pairs of thick and warm military shoes in two months, and sending them to the army one after another.

Tao Zhan heard that Zhuge Guo also sewed military shoes, she suddenly became a little curious, and walked up and said with a smile: "Guo'er can also make military shoes, let Aunt Tao take a look!" ”

She stepped forward, and saw seven or eight pairs of military shoes in the carriage, and she took one pair of them, and it was a pair of sheepskin military boots, made of fine sheepskin, and inside was fine wool, very warm, with fine stitches, and three threads were sewn, which were very strong and durable.

Tao Zhan asked in surprise, "You did this with your mother?" ”

She really didn't believe that this kid could have so much patience to sew military boots, Zhuge Guo pursed her red and Yanyan little mouth and said: "Aunt Tao underestimated others, I did it all by myself, and I did it for a month." ”

Tao Zhan smiled apologetically: "Aunt Tao didn't expect Guo'er to be so capable, these military boots Aunt Tao asked people to send them to the military department." ”

"Nope! No! Zhuge Guo hurriedly waved his hand, "Of these eight pairs of military boots, four pairs are for my father, and the other four pairs are for King Han, and I made them for them." ”

"You weird elf!"

Tao Zhan pinched her pink face and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll have someone bring it over, and someone happened to be going to Taiyuan this afternoon. ”

At this time, a female guard walked forward quickly and said, "Princess Qiyu, the carriage is ready, and the prince is also waiting in the car, should you leave now?" ”

"Where is Aunt Tao going?" Zhuge Guo asked.

"To visit the families of soldiers, every year."

Tao Zhan's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "You came just in time, why don't you go with Aunt Tao!" ”

Zhuge Guo suddenly twisted a little, his pretty face was slightly red, and Ai Ai said, "Is it convenient for me to go?" ”

It's not that she doesn't want to go, but when she thinks of riding in a carriage with Liu Zhi, she blushes a little, Tao Zhan pulled her wrist and smiled: "Let's go!" You will accompany Aunt Tao and come back to play with Zhu'er in the afternoon. ”

Zhuge Guo had to follow Aunt Tao all the way to the carriage, Liu Zhi was already waiting in front of the carriage, he was also surprised, how did his mother bring Sister Guo here, he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "See Mother!" ”

He saluted Zhuge Guo again, "Sister Guo is good!" ”

Liu Zhi has a quiet personality, mature atmosphere, and is completely different from Zhuge Guo, who is lively by nature, but both of them are at the age of the first love, and they are a little embarrassed to meet, Zhuge Guo also returned with a red face, Tao Zhan secretly laughed, and pulled the two into the car, "Okay!" All right! Don't come and go, delay time, let's go! ”

The carriage started, several personal female guards followed on horseback, the carriage drove out of Weiyang Palace, and the two hundred cavalry who had been waiting here immediately guarded the carriage and drove towards Baling City

Among the three acropolis of Chang'an, Xianyang is mainly based on workshops and is a place where craftsmen live, and there are thousands of workshops in the city, while Duling County is mainly based on commerce, and there are thousands of shops and markets, which is a place where merchants live.

Baling County is a military city, where tens of thousands of military households live, and nearly 100,000 people in the city are the families of soldiers, and the northwest of Baling County is the largest Baling military camp in Chang'an.

Tao Zhan wants to comfort the military family, naturally he wants to come to Baling County, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets of Baling County are particularly lively, many people who buy New Year goods from Duling County come back, lead mules and horses, drive ox carts on the street slowly, carts and mules and horses are loaded with large and small New Year goods packages.

Groups of children dressed in new clothes, chasing and running in the snow, laughter spread through the streets, at this time, Tao Zhan's carriage slowly drove into the city under the escort of the guards, and the people in the city immediately guessed that this must be the princess coming, every year on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the princess will come to visit the soldiers' families, this has become a custom, people on the street have moved a way, countless people knelt down, saluting the princess, in order to show their respect for the princess.

The carriage walked slowly, came to the east of the city, today Tao Zhan is going to visit the families of several fallen soldiers, the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard, this is a small house covering an area of less than one acre, most of the families in Chang'an are like this, there are courtyards in front, there are five or six bungalows, the house is newly built for a few years, it looks very clean.

The owner of the house had already received the news and was waiting in front of the gate, when the female guard helped Tao Zhan get out of the carriage, the two old men hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Xiaomin see the princess!" ”

Tao Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and picked them up, "The two old men don't have to be polite, please get up!" ”

She turned back to the guards and smiled, "Move things into the yard!" ”

The guards carried a few bags of rice and a few pigs and sheep into the yard, and the two old men hurriedly welcomed Tao Zhan into the yard with great gratitude, Liu Zhi and Zhuge Guo also followed behind into the yard, the owner of the house was surnamed Li, and the husband and wife were both over fifty years old, Tao Zhan chose to comfort them because their three sons were all serving in the army, and the second son died in the Central Plains War.

Tao Zhan did not enter their house, the sun was warm at noon, she sat in the yard chatting with the old couple, Tao Zhan said softly: "I can only come to see you on Chinese New Year's Eve, I hope you can reunite with your family next year." ”

"Thank you to the princess for coming to visit, and the officials of the Ministry of War also said that next year the war will end, and the two sons will be able to go home, and we are ready to return to our hometown."

Tao Zhan nodded with a smile and asked again, "Where are the two old men from?" ”

"We are from Pingyang County, Bingzhou, and the whole family fled to Guanzhong the year before last, because our three sons joined the army, so the government gave us this place to live."

"Are there only two old people in the house?"

The old man said apologetically: "Of course it's not us, there are three daughters-in-law and two grandsons, the second daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' house and is ready to remarry, the younger daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house in Hanzhong for the New Year, and the younger grandson also brought it, the eldest daughter-in-law went to Duling County early in the morning to buy New Year's goods, and the eldest grandson is studying in the official school, and he can't come back until the afternoon, so it's unfortunate that there are only the two of us."

Tao Zhan whispered and chatted with the two old men, Liu Zhi and Zhuge Guo stood behind her, Liu Zhi secretly glanced at Zhuge Guo a little strangely, he found that Sister Guo, who has always been crazy, is actually very quiet today, after getting into the carriage, she is like a lady, smiling quietly and not speaking, today she has changed sex?

It happened that Zhuge Guo's pretty eyes also secretly glanced over, the two of them looked at each other, their faces turned red, and they quickly turned their heads, Liu Zhi's heart was pounding, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, and he realized that Sister Guo was so beautiful.

At this time, Tao Zhan got up to say goodbye, and the old couple sent them out of the courtyard with a thousand thanks, Tao Zhan turned around and smiled at the two children: "You two, what are you doing slowly, why don't you get into the carriage quickly?" ”

"Aunt Tao, look ahead!" Zhuge Guo whispered.

Tao Zhan found that the intersection in front of him was crowded with people in the county, there were thousands of people on the ground, these were the families of the soldiers, I heard that the princess came to visit them, they all came from all sides, the guards were a little nervous, but Tao Zhan smiled, pulled the two children, and greeted them, the crowd was a little surging, and the soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to stop.

"Happy New Year, Princess!" Someone shouted.

Tao Zhan stopped, and said loudly to everyone: "The soldiers are fighting bloodily on the front line, His Royal Highness the King of Han also has to command the battle in the former enemy, and he can't go back to Beijing to reunite with his family, I will visit you on behalf of His Royal Highness the King of Han, I hope you can have a peaceful and peaceful New Year, all military households in the Han Kingdom, every family can get a sheep, this is a little bit of heart from the King of Han to everyone, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Everyone was excited and shouted together, "Thank you to the princess, thank you to His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

I don't know who raised their arms and shouted, "Long live King Han, long live the princess!" ”

"Long live King Han, long live the princess!"

The cry was deafening, everyone's feelings were infected, people's calls from the heart, even Zhuge Guo's eyes were moist, she couldn't help but turn back to Liu Zhi and said: "You have to remember, these are your children, you must treat them well and cherish them in the future, otherwise I will never spare you!" ”

Liu Zhi nodded silently and said in a deep voice: "I will!" ”

Tao Zhan was very surprised, she looked back at Zhuge Guo, and she suddenly realized that this girl had such a kind and gentle heart in her chest, Tao Zhan was also moved by her, and couldn't help but hold her hand.
