Chapter 522: Three Years Later
"I brought some special products from my hometown, and let Mama Dou send them to your respective courtyards later, and try them all, and when I went this time, the brothers at home also hunted a few white foxes, so I brought the skin and made a big one for the four brothers, and it was warm and comfortable to wear."
In the scorching summer, I made winter clothes, and it was really early.
However, white fox fur is rare, and the color is also suitable, and they are still in the filial piety period, so it is just right to wear this.
So Brother Tai took the hand of the fourth aunt and said.
"Thank you, Fourth Grandmother, Brother Tai likes it very much."
The other three brothers also followed the elder brother, but they couldn't fully repeat it, so they said "thank you" and "like" in half a sentence.
Therefore, although no one was invited to the birthday of the three brothers, the family was lively enough, after all, it was more important for the family to be reunited than anything else.
After the birthday feast, the children were arranged to go to bed.
Du Jingyi and Gu Shaoyu personally coaxed them, and the four brothers slept quickly.
Looking at their even breathing and sleeping little faces, the couple held hands together, although they were speechless, they also decided to protect this home together, and not let the wind and rain erode these lovely and innocent faces.
Spring went to autumn, and three summers and winters passed.
In the General's Mansion, the flowers in the Xitang Courtyard are blooming luxuriantly, and the courtyard is becoming more and more vibrant.
Du Jingyi, who was sitting under the window and drinking tea, had been idle at home for three years, but he had raised himself very well, and his skin was as white as snow and his hair was like a waterfall.
A few days ago, they had just taken off their filial piety, and now they finally put on a delicate peach-colored begonia flower dress, and the skirt also fell with a lustrous pearl, which is very good-looking.
"What about Madame? Do you really want to go to the feast? I'm afraid I'm going to get tired. ”
The cherry on the side is carefully sorting out the days and hours so that she can prepare the congratulatory gift and avoid mistakes.
And when she saw the thick pile of posts in front of her, she also had a headache.
Jumping away from the two days of June 18 and 19, from June 15 to July 23, there is one family, as long as it is still alive to breathe in the new dynasty, the family magnates have all delivered posts.
The power is as vast as the general's mansion, but he has not participated in the banquet of the aristocratic family in Sui'an City for three years, so after taking off filial piety, who will not send a post?
Compared with the headache of cherry, Du Jingyi was prepared.
In the past three years of filial piety at home, she has not been idle, and anything that happens outside or even in the palace will reach her ears, so it is not okay not to go to these banquets.
Concubine Xing gave birth to the Seventh Prince in early October of the first year of Hongyuan.
At the same time, the Liangjiang area in charge of the Xing family is also a bumper harvest year, contributing seventy percent of the treasury revenue in one go, so even if the master of the harem is the queen, the limelight in the past two years is not as good as Xing Guifei, not to mention Concubine Zhen, who also gave birth to the eighth prince.
Du Jingyi picked up a post casually, which happened to be the Li family.
The concubine was selected in the autumn of that year, and sure enough, as the sister-in-law Liu said, the second lady of the Li family entered the palace and was awarded the concubine position, and she was very good friends with the queen.
In two or three months, it will be the person who is going to have a child, and I am afraid that the title of noble concubine will be logical at that time.
The flowers bloom two branches, and they fall in two places.
Concubine Li in the palace is pregnant, and the eldest lady of the Li family, who has married her child outside the palace, is also about to give birth.
His filial piety period is one year, so after the end of the national mourning family, he became a relative in August last year, and he was two months pregnant at the end of the year, and now it is also eight months of belly, not far from the period of childbirth.
For this nephew and daughter-in-law, Du Jingyi is very satisfied.
Fortunately, Ping'er insisted on choosing this eldest lady instead of the second lady, so now the whole family in the Guogong Mansion is united and peaceful, unlike the concubine Li in the palace, who has been discordant with Xing Guifei again and again, so this favor is also sometimes absent.
And the Li family's post is a birthday post.
Lord Li is the year of the Mandate of Heaven this year, so it is natural that he will have a feast.
Du Jingyi looked at the days, and on the fourth day of the seventh month, he said to the cherry.
"Don't be mistaken, as for the congratulatory gift, you can go to the treasury to pick and choose, the kind that can live in the field."
"It's sent too well, will it make people think that our general's mansion has any thoughts?"
"Don't worry, even if it's not delivered well, there is still something to say outside, the eldest lady of the Li family is now Ping'er's wife, we still have to give this face, don't you see that after Ping'er got married, the smile on the sister-in-law's face is much more than before? It shows that this daughter-in-law is well found, since the Li family treats her sister-in-law and Ping'er with her heart, then we naturally have to pay tribute to her family, so let's do what I say, it's okay. ”
Hearing this, Cherry nodded, so she focused a little in front of the Li family's registration.
She was doing things conscientiously, but Du Jingyi had other thoughts in her eyes.
Cherry's age is about the same as Du Jingyi, and now she is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and the palace maid in the palace is still going to be released to marry at the age of twenty-five, let alone the people outside.
It's just that he has been doing funerals one after another in the past few years, so he didn't put this matter on the agenda, so now that he has some free time, Du Jingyi thought about it, so he paused and asked.
"Cherry, you're not young now, do you have someone you like? It's okay to be in and out of the house, as long as it's good for you and your family background is innocent, just tell me, I will definitely call the shots for you! ”
Hearing this, Cherry was still concentrating on writing the booklet, but she looked up in surprise and said.
"Madam, do you dislike me for being old and useless? Why did you suddenly send me to get married? ”
"What kind of nonsense, who in this house doesn't know that you are the most popular with me, but now that Brother Tai and his brothers are five or six years old, you are still single, I always have some worries in my heart, right?"
Hearing this, Cherry smiled.
"If that's the case, then Mrs. should take care of it, the slave maid is not interested in anyone, so she wants to stay in this house as an aunt, be a grandmother, and always accompany Mrs., but the son of Danruo and Chef Liu, as well as Lu Cheng and the Jiang steward of Ermen, have a good impression of each other, if Mrs. really wants to find a good way out for our sisters, then make decisions for the two of them first."
"Huh? How did I not know any of this? ”
"In the filial piety period, no one makes trouble, isn't this a smear to the General's Mansion? So I have been pressing it, but the slaves and maids are careful and can see it, so I have the courage to say to Mrs., no, Mrs. will call them to ask. (End of chapter)
