"It was calculated by him, and the last general originally thought that he could recruit two thousand to come over and supplement one or two."

"Don't think about it so much, thank God you can have five hundred."

Hearing this, Ni Yang looked at Xing Zhao and those little soldiers drinking and laughing, but he didn't have the same lively mood as he did just now.

The wine in the cup, with some homesick thoughts at the moment, is another day when he can't spend the reunion at home, even if he knows that his wife will not wronged himself and his children, but he always has two more points in his heart.

It's been half a year since he left this time, and he used to know an approximate return date, but now, although he said that it was a year, who knew what moths the emperor would have waiting for him in a year, so after raising his head and drinking it all, Gu Shaoyu, who put down the wine bowl, was one year older than before, and his eyes were more firm than before.

The two places are lovesick, and the two places are sad.

The winter snow began to show signs of melting on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and today Du Jingyi was going to take his four children into the palace to participate in the palace banquet, so he was also carefully prepared early in the morning.

Now that Gu Shaoyu and Mrs. Guo are gone, no one is protecting her, so she must be strong to protect the children.

With this thought, today's Du Jingyi did not dress himself up brightly and younger, but deliberately chose a set of blue ground color round neck placket embroidered basket pattern skirt upper body, and the outer hood was a rabbit fur with the same color jacket, warm and generous.

It's just that on the upper body of this dress, she looks like a woman in her early thirties, much more dignified than before, Cherry said with a smile when she looked at it from the side.

"Madame's clothes are well chosen, but now they look extravagant but not too gorgeous, and they are worthy of the style of a first-class duchess."

Du Jingyi sighed.

"If there is a choice, I would rather go out with my mother and sister to catch up with the temple fair, go to the market or something, in the past, I was either accompanied by the general or Grandmother Guo, and I have three more points of confidence, go today, I will support it alone, don't say that I am really nervous."

"Don't be afraid, Madame, Madame, Madame, and Miss Eight are all going to go? Besides, those ladies are still good friends with our general's mansion on weekdays, so when they sit together and talk, they naturally don't feel nervous. ”

This is the biggest problem that the Du family is only a businessman, not a nobleman.

All her glory today comes more from her husband and the general's mansion, so this kind of relationship makes her feel that she is not so close or intimate with those ladies.

Except for the eldest sister-in-law and eighth sister, the other people greet you with a smile today, perhaps because you have this identity here, but if the family loses power tomorrow, I am afraid that I will not even be able to step into the other party's mansion, so Du Jingyi is very sober.

"After the Queen Mother's New Year, she will go south to Jinling Palace, and Lord Xing will directly take over the post of Prime Minister after the New Year, and the Earl's Palace has sent news a few days ago, so today's palace banquet and look at it, some of it is wonderful."

Cherry didn't understand this, so she didn't say too much, she helped Du Jingyi get dressed up here, then combed her hair in a bun, put on makeup and sat and waited for the four children to come over.

The four brothers are all boys, they don't need to dress up like this, they just need to be energetic, so after the four brothers cleaned up, they came to ask Du Jingyi for peace.

The palace banquet was scheduled for the evening, but the Queen Mother sent a post to the General's Mansion early, saying that she wanted to meet the children first, so Du Jingyi could only take the four brothers, and Yu Sizheng went straight to the imperial city.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the palace has its own rules in the palace.

The emperor took the queen and the princes to worship their ancestors, so along the way, Du Jingyi's mother and son did not see anyone else, but went to the Shoukang Palace where the Empress Dowager Guo was.

Gonggong Hu received the news that they had entered the palace, so he waited at the gate of the palace in advance, and when he saw Du Jingyi and them coming, he said with a bright smile.

"At the beginning of the new year, the slave said hello to his wife, to the Gu family, and to the three little masters."

"Grandpa Hu is polite, have you waited for a long time?"

"It won't be long before Mrs. Guo San and the others have arrived, just waiting for you and a few young masters."

"Blame me for my slow pace, let the Queen Mother wait for a long time, let's go to the palace to ask for peace."

After that, the cherry beside Du Jingyi stepped forward and handed over a small purse, and then whispered with a happy face.

"It's the New Year, this is the general's mansion to invite my father-in-law to drink tea, and I ask my father-in-law not to dislike it."

Father-in-law Hu didn't reach out to hit the smiling man, so he stuffed it into his sleeve and praised it.

"The cherry girl is a sign of a year of competition, and when you have a happy event, remember to send a post to our family, and you must be there to congratulate!"

Cherry has no intention of getting married, so when she heard this, she could only pretend to be shy and then dodge.

Since he came to Shoukang Palace once three years, Du Jingyi began to keep filial piety for his father-in-law, so the days of entering the palace are numbered, not to mention coming to see the Queen Mother, so although people are walking forward, they look around twice, and there is a feeling of returning to the former Changchun Palace in a trance.

Sure enough, this palace follows the master, and after living for a long time, it naturally becomes the appearance of the master.

Along the way, walking to the main hall, Du Jingyi heard a familiar voice from inside, and waited in front of the door with the children with the same expression.

"The first-class public General Gu's wife has arrived, the Gu family has arrived, and the three young masters have arrived!"

Gonggong Hu let out a long sigh, and saw the palace maid coming out of the curtain, and then said.

"The Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time, madam, please."

"Thank you."

Entering the main hall of Shoukang Palace, I saw the Empress Dowager Guo at a glance, obviously her appearance was still the same as before, but somehow I felt that she was a lot older now.

Du Jingyi took the children forward and said respectfully.

"The courtier Gu Men Du has seen the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother Jin'an."

"Courtiers Gu Yunzhan, Gu Siming, Gu Sicong, Gu Siwen have seen the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother Jin'an."

The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair, looked at them lovingly, and then raised her hand and said.

"Let's be flat."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"Let's all go closer to the mourning house, but I haven't seen your brothers for a few days."

Tai Ge'er understood the rules, so he took two steps forward with his three younger brothers, and his attitude was still respectful, and there was no exceedance.

Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Brother Tai, and her heart was a little pantothenic, and his face similar to the deceased Marshal Gu Bacheng made her speechless for a while.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, and everyone naturally didn't say anything, they were not Mrs. Guo, so in this Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was respected!
