Chapter 597: Another Year
When the two came back, they didn't talk to the boys just now, but went to other places to talk to other guests, and naturally no one paid attention.
Someone in the middle came over and said something when he saw Xing Zhao.
"I also said, why are you so slow to take the prince to change his clothes? Dare to hide from alcohol here? Let's go, don't think about repaying the debt, we don't get drunk and don't return today. ”
Xing Zhao had a helpless expression, and was forcibly "dragged" away.
Everyone present also laughed, but the prince of Jue, although he had a smile on his face, all his thoughts were on Xing Zhao's words just now.
When Du Jingyi left, Xing Zhao specially came to send it.
As soon as the eyes of the two met, Xing Zhao nodded steadily, and Du Jingyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then got into the carriage with peace of mind.
The bait has been cast, and the next thing is to see if the fish will not take the bait.
Since the Xing family left, there are only ten days left before the New Year, how the prince of the king of Jue lived, Du Jingyi didn't know, but they went with the flow.
It was another year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and Gu Shaoyu still hadn't returned.
Last year, Du Jingyi took the children to the Du family, and this year, there were many people in the general's mansion, so it became the Du family and his wife who came to join them.
There are eldest aunts and four aunts, and the bureau that gets together doesn't need Du Jingyi to come out to liven up the atmosphere, plus the children in the courtyard make the general's mansion even more popular.
Steward He and Mama Dou were so happy that the laugh lines around their eyes were a lot new, and of course the happiest people had to be the children.
The most promising thing every year is to collect the red envelopes of the year.
None of them are children who are short of money, but when they see other brothers and sisters, they are naturally more interested than the other, their mouths are sweeter than the other, and the red envelopes are naturally bigger than the other.
The children get together, eating dumplings for a while, hiding riddles for a while, their feet never stopping, and their mouths are never idle.
Du Jingyi was afraid that they would eat and move too much, which would affect their bodies, and was about to persuade them, but they saw that the eldest aunt stopped them.
"The children are happy, it's okay, you have worked hard all year round, and relax, talk to us well, and then go back to rest."
"The eldest aunt feels so sorry for them, if the general comes back and sees it, he will definitely say it."
"How dare he?"
The aunt of the Gu family glared suddenly, and then immediately said.
"He still wants to find fault with such a good daughter-in-law, that's his fault, I'll come to you right away, I want to see if our general doesn't even give the face of the eldest aunt."
Her words made everyone laugh.
Du Jingyi thought about it, let the children indulge for a day, so he didn't care anymore.
We sat around until late at night, and everyone dispersed when they were tired.
Du Jingyi first arranged the children, and then arranged the elders, and then went back to rest, as soon as she entered the main house, she felt that something was not quite right, and there seemed to be a familiar smell inside, so she walked quickly towards the dormitory.
Sure enough, Gu Shaoyu stood with his hands in his hands and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Du Jingyi threw himself into his arms, hammered him twice, and then questioned with a sour nose.
"Why don't you say hello when the general comes back, everyone in the family misses it very much!"
"I'm busy with everyone coming back this time, isn't it going to show my stuffing when I go to the front hall to say hello? Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I will accompany you, and after tomorrow, I will leave again. ”
Du Jingyi looked up at him in astonishment, his eyes full of questions.
"Didn't you just come back? Stay a few more days? ”
"I came back three days ago, but I've been busy with things outside, and I went to meet with Shizi Ye and Mr. Wen, I was supposed to return today, but I thought I'd better come and see you before leaving."
In such a hurry, Du Jingyi thought that there must be something in the Tiger Army, so she couldn't persuade her again.
just silently wrapped around Gu Shaoyu's waist, and Gu Shaoyu also held her in distress.
The couple haven't seen each other for more than a year, so it's naturally not good to have outsiders to disturb them at this time, Du Jingyi was a little sleepy, but he couldn't sleep in bed at the moment.
"General, are you coming back this time for the prince?"
"Half of the reason, and the other is that I found out that the emperor secretly took in an old man, so I came to see if it was really true?"
"Who?"
"Shang Shichiro."
When he heard this, Du Jingyi was still a little frightened, all the people associated with the Wei family had already died a few years ago, to put it mildly, I was afraid that the grass on the grave was one meter high, how could it be......
Gu Shaoyu naturally knew what Du Jingyi wanted to ask, after all, he was also shocked when he first received the news.
"Shang Qilang was also a person who surrendered to the Marquis of Dingping at that time, so he didn't die, it was probably related to this, but he was really smart, he took the way of the Marquis of Dingping, and now he is in the eyes of the emperor, although he can't do things in the court in the name of the past, but outside of Ancheng, not many people know him, so this time he must have been arranged to be sent abroad."
"Where is he sent?"
"I don't know, but there are only a few places on the left, either near Quanzhou, near Cezhou, or near Jinling City."
Quanzhou is naturally aimed at Empress Yan's party, Cezhou is aimed at their Gu family, and as for Jinling City, it is aimed at the Xing family.
Thinking of this, Du Jingyi was a little admired.
"It's cold in the heights, and our emperor is becoming more and more suspicious now."
"The emperor is the biological son of the former emperor, and his son Xiao's father is no different, but it's a pity that Grandfather Guo, who has worked hard all his life for the good of the dynasty, ended up with such a result, and those officials who are sincerely good for the government and the people, and now they are also squeezed out by the partisan struggle and have no way to live."
Du Jingyi sighed, and then asked.
"Then what is the result of the general meeting with the prince? Did he think about the future? ”
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu smiled and kissed her forehead, and then said.
"You're more anxious than I am."
"Success or failure is here, if it doesn't work, then our family will have no way out."
"Don't worry, Shizi is more ambitious than I imagined, so this matter can be done as long as the timing is right."
Du Jingyi didn't have much contact with this prince, so she couldn't comment much, but hearing Gu Shaoyu say this, she still had more hope for the long road ahead.
"Okay, go to sleep, if you don't sleep again, it will be dawn."
