Soon, the people passed through the verandah to the courtyard where the ladies were entertained today.

This courtyard is the permanent residence of Mrs. Jia, the birthday star, and the female guests sit around talking and laughing, which is very lively.

Seeing Mrs. Wen and the others coming in, Liu Zhiheng's wife stood up to greet her, smiled and led Jiayin forward, and greeted, "Fang Cai, I also talked to the old lady about you, but I didn't expect you to arrive before the words landed, what a coincidence." ”

As she spoke, she personally introduced Mrs. Jia and everyone else.

In the room, Jiayin's status was the highest, and everyone greeted each other and saluted Jiayin.

Jiayin took it steadily, and then returned the salute.

The hard work of Xueba is not for fun, during this period of time, while being boosted by Doctor Zhang's seedlings, Jiayin has not fallen behind in learning rules and reading.

At this moment, she hid the naughty monkey appearance at home, raised her head and chest, smiled three points on her face, and nodded and greeted everyone, but she was also calm.

Because today is a birthday banquet, Jiayin wore a set of peach woven gold pipa skirts, combed a double bun, and hung two thin pigtails in her ears, which made her more and more lovely.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, it is even more by the eight-treasure Yingluo collar on the chest, reflecting a bit of luxury.

Even if everyone has never seen it in the past, they don't feel strange in their hearts when they look at it secretly today.

can make Xinting Hou treat it as a daughter, it is a baby bump that the emperor loves well, it should be like this, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and he is noble.

The old lady of the Jia family also wanted to get up and salute, but Jiayin took the lead, and gave the old lady a birthday in a crisp voice, "I wish the old lady happiness is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and her longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan." Jiayin came to the door for the first time, and there was nothing good, just recently thinking about dim sum, so I made a birthday cake for the old lady, and offered it for a while, to the old lady, I hope the old lady likes it. ”

"Hey, I like it, I like it!" Mrs. Jia is very rich, kind and kind-eyed, I don't know whether she is happy that Jiayin respects her, or is interested in cakes, and she smiles from ear to ear.

She pulled Jiayin to sit beside her and whispered a few words.

Everyone sat down again, the second son of Mrs. Jia was in the barracks at the wharf, she was really worried, and she couldn't bear it, so she brought tea to Tao Hongying with her own hands, and said with a smile, "Thank you Mrs. Li for coming over today to celebrate her birthday, it's the autumn harvest, and the family is busy, right?" ”

Tao Hongying thanked her, took the tea bowl, and said with a smile, "Yes, the eldest lady should also know that we have planted mountains of fruits in Broken Golden Beach." Now is the time for picking, and the village and the village are busy. I came out today, but I was rightly lazy! ”

Mrs. Jia led the conversation and said, "Uncle and General Li both have errands, I'm afraid they won't help much, right?" Home or do you bother more? ”

Tao Hongying guessed a few points, so she said, "Yes, uncle, it's okay, but my general is training in the dock barracks, and he hasn't come back for a long time." ”

Mrs. Jia squeezed the veil tightly, and even the rest of the female guests also looked at it and pricked up their ears.

Second Mrs. Jia couldn't see her sister-in-law's hesitant appearance, so she simply smiled and came to her, and asked briskly, "Mrs. Li, almost all of our families have children in the barracks, and I am worried about eating and sleeping these days. I wonder if General Li has any news coming back, what is the situation over there? ”

Tao Hongying smiled gently, glanced at everyone, and said, "My general didn't send the news back, but now is not wartime, the recruits just train to walk, sit and lie down, and obey orders, and there will be no danger." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but a woman Xu is usually too fond of her son, couldn't help but red eyes, choked up and said, "Although I say so, but pity my family's brother, there are maids to serve you when you dress and eat on weekdays, and now that you are in that place, you have to take care of yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat enough and not warm ......."

Tao Hongying didn't like to hear this, as if someone had deliberately mistreated her children.

She took a sip of tea and said, "If you want to say it's hard, it's really hard before!" The Northern Expeditionary Army did not have enough rations, only two meals of gruel a day, and they couldn't eat enough at all. There are no cotton clothes in winter, and I can't wait to wear a straw mat to keep warm.

"That's it, we must always guard against the barbarians crossing the Jinsha River, and I don't want these well-fed nobles and people in Jiangnan to be cut down or even eaten by the barbarians as two-legged sheep. That's really hard work, even grievances!

"Now, Emperor Shengming, more people have joined the army, and they have personally felt the hardships of the Northern Expeditionary Army. The military rations are enough to eat, and the cotton jackets and pants are also being prepared, and there will definitely be no more hunger and cold this winter. Don't worry! ”

The choked woman was a little sneering, and the rest of the people were also weak in listening.

The children of their family do not go to the barracks, and they really don't care about that.

In their minds, the soldiers were meant to guard the borders against the barbarians.

It's their duty!

As for whether these soldiers are suffering or not, it seems that it has nothing to do with them.

But now that these soldiers are replaced by their children, this idea has completely changed.

I have to say that it really hurts when the knife cuts on myself!

Second Mrs. Jia didn't want to let the house be cold, so she hurriedly smiled, "That's good, as long as you are well fed and clothed, the family will not worry about it." They're all kids, and it's a good thing to have a little more experience. ”

The rest of the people also nodded reluctantly and agreed.

"Yes, it's also a trouble at home, it's a good thing to go to the barracks to learn skills from the marquis, and be loyal to Tianwu and the emperor."

"Your Majesty."

In the end, it is the official's wife, and everyone is a good hand.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen asked Tao Hongying, "A few days ago, the Hou Ye came back and said a few words to the uncle, we were all next to me at the time, I heard as if there was a communication in the barracks, right?" ”

Tao Hongying nodded and said with a smile, "Oh, indeed, if you don't say it, I'll forget it." ”

She turned her head to look at Mrs. Jia, and said, "There was no such rule in the army before, but Master Hou said that the recruits have just arrived in the camp, and the family must be worried." Therefore, the Hou Ye made an excerpt and begged the emperor to allow the recruits to communicate with their families once a month, tell each other about the current situation, and bring some things with them.

"It's just that this is at the dock camp, and after the beginning of spring, the northern expedition will not be. After all, military aircraft are important, and there are frequent exchanges inside and outside the barracks, and no one can afford to interfere if there is chaos. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Jia and the rest of the female guests were extremely surprised to hear it.

They have accepted the child's enlistment, and they have no extravagant hope to get the child out again.

But I don't know what I am most worried about this kind of news, if I can send a message and send something, I will be satisfied.

"Oops, that's great! When you go home in a while, you have to talk more about it to make the family happy. ”

"Yes, you don't need to carry anything else, give a little more silver, and prepare two sets of thick jackets and pants."

"There are also all kinds of pills, so you have to prepare some."

Everyone talked about what they wanted to prepare, and they were all happy, and the house was lively again for a while.

Someone cleverly complimented Mrs. Jia, "It is all thanks to the old lady's blessing that we can meet Mrs. Li and hear such good news." We're really happy with the old lady! ”

Mrs. Jia was coaxed to laugh, she was also worried about her grandson, it would be better to send something to her grandson.

Of course, she was even happier that her second daughter-in-law had caught up with the Li family.
