Chapter 3: Homecoming
"Sure enough, it is the grandson of Marshal Gu, this is from a distance, and it has the style of the Gu family army back then!"
It's a pity that in the Battle of Jince eight years ago, the Gu family was martyred.
Except for this grandson, none of the other descendants remained.
People can't help but sigh.
This tone made the prince glance sideways at Prime Minister Guo, and then said gently.
"If Old Marshal Gu had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely be happy that General Shang could have today's achievements."
"Well, that's what the prince said!"
After the two of them spoke, the surrounding ministers also praised one after another.
Instead, Captain Wei, who was standing, snorted coldly, disdainful of this.
It's just that now is the time when Shang Ji is blooming.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to go up and find pleasure at this time.
The army came to the gate tower.
Shang Ji got off his horse, and the twelve lieutenants who followed him also came down.
Kneeling on one knee in unison, he shouted loudly.
"The last general has seen the prince!"
"All the soldiers have worked hard, please hurry up!"
"Prince Xie!"
The wind and sand in Cezhou have added a little more vicissitudes to everyone, but their eyes are more resolute than before.
The prince was very relieved to see it, and said after taking a few steps forward.
"General Shang, my father has set up a celebration wine in the palace, and I am waiting to give you the wind and dust! Please! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
Then he commanded the people behind him.
"The twelve deputy generals will take off their armor and enter the palace with me, and the rest of the soldiers will retreat ten miles back and set up camp, and they are not allowed to move without permission."
"Yes!"
He had been in the barracks since he was fifteen years old.
Although he is the little grandfather of the Guogong Mansion in terms of identity.
But at the same time, he is also a ruthless marshal admired by everyone in the army.
Therefore, no one disobeyed his orders.
From the city gate to the palace gate, the people welcomed them along the way.
The prince did not ride the Luan car when he came, but chose to ride a horse with Shang Ji all the way.
On the road, I watched the celebration of the people, and there were countless handkerchief sachets flying around.
I couldn't help but quip.
"Liulang's charm is really not ordinary, you said that these young ladies know that you already have a wife and are still so enthusiastic, it seems that it won't be long before this mansion is happy again."
Shang Ji replied disappreciatively.
"I'm afraid that the reputation of the last general's wife is not widely spread enough, otherwise how can there be such a pomp today, which will make the prince laugh."
The prince was dumbfounded.
"How can anyone say that he has rejected his wife, and you also remember those gossips? Less garlic, you are the descendants of the two families of Shanggu, and you are not afraid of honor and disgrace with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and halberds, will you be afraid of these? ”
Shang Ji didn't want to be entangled in private matters, so he pursed his mouth and kept silent.
All the way north, I saw the prince talking endlessly, and his face was calm.
I don't know, I thought it was the prince who owed him gambling debts that had not been repaid, so he looked like this.
After surrounding Shang Ji and the twelve deputy generals into the palace.
The excitement among the people also dispersed.
The palace banquet that catches the wind and washes the dust is naturally very good at pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
It's a pity that the palace is constantly lively, and the Shangguo Mansion, which should also be lively, is a little deserted at the moment.
Especially the Xitang Temple in Dongyuan.
When Du Jingyi returned from Yunjin Courtyard, his face was a little tired.
Anyway, she is also the young lady in the Guogong Mansion.
It is the wife of General Shang Ji's three books and six ceremonies, and the Ming media is marrying.
Shang Guogong and his wife were ordered to enter the palace, but they only left her a sentence of "I'm afraid that you will be weak and can't eat the royal banquet".
It's really about using people to face forward, not people to face backwards.
After today, presumably the entire Sui'an City people will know that the young lady of the Shangguo Mansion is a joke.
In the future, she will be even more difficult in the house.
Deducting some money or something, she is not afraid.
Anyway, his dowry is rich enough, even if he raises another Xitang Courtyard.
But if such a slap in the face reaches the ears of her parents.
I don't know how upset they will be.
The sky gradually darkened, and the house was lit up one after another.
Cherry brought the food over, but Du Jingyi didn't see a few bites.
I knew in my heart that my wife was sad, but I didn't know how to comfort her.
However, Du Jingyi saw her worries, but said with a light smile.
"I used pear meat in the afternoon, I'm not hungry."
Then lowered her eyes, so that people could not see her emotions clearly.
"Prepare water, I'm going to bathe."
When Du Jingyi is in a bad mood, he likes to take a quiet bath for a while.
It's as if you can wash away all your worries.
It was only after entering the barrel that she felt alive.
There was some soothing condensation in the water, and the heat blew through Du Jingyi's cheeks.
Cherry and Lizhu waited carefully.
soaked for a while, until Du Jingyi felt comfortable, and then got up.
After wiping off the moisture, she lay down on the beauty couch next to her, and let the two girls give her a moisturizing lotion.
In the past, this kind of thing was the most normal for Du Jingyi.
It just so happens that there is a lot of time spent today.
Therefore, after Shang Ji came back from the banquet in the palace, he didn't see anyone in the main house.
There was a small sound coming from the earroom next door.
He has been in the army for many years, and his ear power is naturally extraordinary.
That's why I heard someone bathing and washing.
The wine made him a little upset, and he immediately frowned and asked behind him.
"Who bathes and washes here?"
Behind him are Steward He and Mama Dou, who have served him for many years.
When they saw him, they were both excited and excited.
I didn't think about the first question, but this is it.
So Mama Dou stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Little grandfather...... Oh no, the general is afraid that he is drunk, and he can bathe and wash in this house, will there be anyone else besides the young lady? ”
After hearing her say this, Shang Ji reacted.
He was a man who had been married.
Sure enough, after staying in the barracks for a long time, I forgot that I also had a family.
"Well, let's bring two bowls of decanting soup, this wine gives me a headache."
"Okay, slave and maid will go."
The armor on his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at the moment, and it made him a little uncomfortable.
Luo Yuan, the personal attendant who helped him into the main house, immediately spoke up.
"General, my subordinates have taken off your armor for you."
"Hmm."
The heavy smell mixed with the smell of wine soon filled the room.
After Shang Ji took off his armor, he revealed a moon-white narrow-sleeved satin crewneck undershirt embroidered with dark moire.
He wore a pair of black brocade boots and a belt embroidered with gold patterns of the same color around his waist.
The whole person is full of vigor.
The general Shang, who was still serious and calm during the day, was now relaxed and comfortable.
It's about the time I've returned to a familiar place, so the whole person is relaxed.
casually picked up the celadon cup on the table, and poured himself a sip of tea to relieve hangover.
