Chapter 522 Three Years Later

"I brought some specialties from my hometown, and I will ask Aunt Dou to send them to your respective courtyards later. You can try them all. In addition, when I went this time, my brothers at home also hunted a few white foxes, so I Bring the leather with you and make big cloaks for the four brothers. They will be warm and comfortable to wear.

It’s really too early to make winter clothes when the summer is hot.

However, white fox fur is rare and the color is suitable. They are still in the period of mourning, so this is just the right thing to wear.

So Brother Tai took the fourth aunt's hand and said.

"Thank you, Fourth Grandmother. Brother Tai likes it very much."

The other three brothers also followed what their elder brother said, but they couldn't repeat it completely, so they just said "thank you" and "like".

Therefore, although no one was invited to celebrate the birthday of the three brothers, the family was still lively enough. After all, being able to reunite as a family was more important than anything else.

After the birthday party, the children were arranged to go to bed.

Du Jingyi and Gu Shaoyu coaxed them personally, and the four brothers fell asleep quickly.

Seeing their even breathing and sleeping little faces, the couple held hands together. Although they were speechless, they both decided to protect this home together and prevent wind and rain from eroding these cute and innocent faces.

Spring passed and autumn came, and three summers and winters passed.

In the General's Mansion, the flowers in Xitang Courtyard are in full bloom, making the courtyard even more vibrant.

Du Jingyi, who was sitting under the bright window and drinking tea, had been idle at home for three years, but he had taken good care of himself. His skin became as white as snow and his hair was like waterfalls.

A few days ago, they had just taken off their filial piety, and now they finally put on a pretty peach-colored Begonia flower dress. The skirt was also decorated with shiny pearls, which was really beautiful.

"What should I do, madam? Do we really have to go to the banquet? I'm afraid I'll be exhausted."

Cherry on the side is carefully sorting out the days and hours so that she can prepare gifts and avoid mistakes.

And when she saw the thick pile of posts in front of her, she also had a headache.

The two days of June 18th and 19th were skipped, and the queue went straight from June 15th to July 23rd. Every family was considered a family, as long as they could live to breathe in the new dynasty, all the powerful people had delivered. Post here.

It is as powerful as the general's palace, but it has not attended the banquet of the noble families in Sui'an City for three years. So after renounced one's filial piety, who would not send a post?

Compared to Cherry's headache, Du Jingyi was more prepared.

During the three years she had been observing mourning at home, she had not been idle. Anything that happened outside or even in the palace would be spread to her ears, so it was impossible not to go to these meetings.

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 also had a good harvest, contributing 70% of the national treasury revenue in one go. Therefore, even if the harem is headed by the queen, the limelight in the past two years cannot be compared to that of Concubine Xing, let alone the same Concubine Zhen, the eighth prince, was also born.

Du Jingyi picked up a post casually, and it happened to be from the Li family.

In the autumn of that year, when the concubine was selected, it turned out that as my sister-in-law Liu said, the second young lady of the Li family entered the palace and was granted the title of concubine, and she was particularly good with the queen.

In two or three months, she will be giving birth to a child, and by then the title of noble concubine will be a matter of course.

The flower blooms on two branches and falls happily on two places.

Inside the palace, Concubine Li is pregnant, and outside the palace, the eldest lady of the Li family, who has married Heping'er, is also about to have a child.

His filial piety period lasted for one year, so after the national mourning period was over, he got married in August last year, and by the end of the year, he was two months pregnant. Now he is eight months pregnant, not far away from giving birth. Far.

Du Jingyi was very satisfied with this niece-in-law.

Fortunately, Ping'er insisted on choosing the eldest lady instead of the second lady, so now everyone in the Duke's palace is united and peaceful. Unlike the empress Li Bin in the palace, who has been at odds with Concubine Xing time and time again, so this pampering It also happens sometimes.

The Li family's post is a birthday post.

Mr. Li is in the year of destiny this year, so he will naturally have a grand banquet.

Du Jingyi looked at the date, it was the fourth day of July, and said to Cherry.

"Don't get this wrong. As for the gifts, just go to the warehouse and pick them out. You want something that can accommodate the occasion."

"The gift is so good. Will it make people think that our general's office has any intentions?"

"Don't worry, even if the gift is not good, there are still rumors outside. The eldest lady of the Li family is now Ping'er's wife. We still have to give her this face. After you see Ping'er get married, the smile on my sister-in-law's face will be gone. Is there a lot more than before? It means that the wife here has been found well. Since Mrs. Li treats her sister-in-law Heping'er with care, we will naturally treat her family in return, so just do as I say, it will be fine. "

Hearing this, Cherry nodded, so she focused a little on the Li family's registration.

She was doing things conscientiously, but Du Jingyi also had other thoughts in his eyes when he looked at her.

Yingtao is about the same age as Du Jingyi, so she is now twenty-six or seventeen years old. The maids in the palace have to be let out to get married when they reach the age of twenty-five, let alone the families outside.

But because he had been organizing funerals in recent years, he didn't put this matter on the agenda. So now that he had some free time, Du Jingyi thought about it, so he paused and asked.

"Cherry, you are not young now. Do you have someone you like? Anyone from inside or outside the house is fine. As long as they are good to you and have a clean family background, just tell me and I will give it to you." You decide!"

Hearing this, Cherry, who was originally concentrating on writing the book, looked up in surprise and said.

"Madam, do you dislike my age and incompetence? Why do you suddenly want to send me to marry?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone in this mansion knows that you are my favorite. However, now that Tai'er and his brothers are five or six years old, you are still single. I always feel a little worried, right?"

Hearing this, Cherry smiled.

"If that's the case, then Madam, please calm down. I'm not interested in anyone. I just want to stay in this mansion as an aunt and a nanny, and accompany Madam all the time. However, Danruo and Liu the cook's son, as well as Lu Ju and Jiang the steward of the second gate, have a good impression of each other. If Madam really wants to find a good way out for us sisters, please make a decision for them first."

"Ah? How come I don't know this?"

"During the mourning period, no one makes trouble. Isn't this a disgrace to the general's mansion? So they have been suppressing it all the time, but I am careful and I can see it, so I have the courage to tell Madam that it's not okay. Madam, please call them to ask." (End of this chapter)
