This trip to Shengjing made Qingshu a little frustrated. When he saw Duan Boyang the next day, he said with a lot of blame: "Sir, my subordinates are incompetent and have not done their job well."

Duan Boyang said: "No, you did it very well."

Qingshu looked up at him, not understanding what he meant.

Duan Boyang said: "Shengjing is just the beginning. The emperor has sent an imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the situation of the troops stationed in various places."

Qingshu's originally heavy mood would be a little better, but soon she asked worriedly: "Will other places be like Shengjing, and finally let them go?"

Duan Boyang smiled and said, "No, Shengjing's situation is special, but other places are not. If you find that you are empty-handed, you will definitely be severely punished."

"That's good."

Duan Boyang was as caring as ever and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time, I'll give you three days off to go back and have a good rest."

The errand was not done well this time, and Qingshu was embarrassed to take a vacation. But she didn't refuse in the end. If she had a rest, she could pick up the girl every day.

Before he could sit at home, he sent news to Duke Re's mansion, saying that Lan Xi had returned to Beijing.

Qingshu was surprised and asked, "When did the third sister-in-law arrive?"

The old lady responded respectfully: "The prince's wife arrived this morning. The prince's wife said that you will come and see you and the girl when you rest."

Qingshu smiled and said, "You go back and tell my third sister-in-law that I will take Yaoyao to visit her tomorrow. By the way, will the third sister-in-law come back alone or will they bring all Brother Guo and the others back?"

I must be tired after rushing for more than a month, and I must have to rest now. As for the afternoon, I must have to visit my mother.

"The eldest young master has not come back, the second young master and the third young master have brought them back."

Lan Xi also wanted to have a daughter, but she ended up giving birth to three boys like Xiaoyu. Rare things are precious, and among the few people who have had children, Qingshu gave birth to a daughter, so everyone was very reluctant to do so. In recent years, whenever the birthday is coming, Yaoyao has received gifts.

Qingshu nodded, and he understood that Brother Guo was the eldest son and did not come back. He had three children, Brother Tong was born in Tongcheng, Qingshu had never seen her. He only heard that she looked very similar to Wu Zhengxiao.

After the old lady left, Qingshu sent someone a message to Xiaoyu and agreed to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion together tomorrow.

On the second day, Qingshu and Xiaoyu both took their children to the Duke's Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the yard, Lan Xi came up to meet him.

Lan Xi was wearing a light purple green lotus high-waisted Confucian skirt and a purple hairpin on her head. Not only did she look unchanged, but her temperament became more calm.

Xiaoyu praised her as soon as she saw her: "I haven't seen her for five years but she hasn't changed at all. She is still like a fairy and can't bear to see her."

Lan Xi laughed and scolded: "I haven't seen you for five years, and you are more and more able to speak with your mouth."

Yaoyao refused to admit her life at all and said frankly: "Three Aunt Yu is right, you are as beautiful as the fairy who came down to earth that day."

Lan Xi smiled when she heard this, touched Yaoyao's face and said, "My aunt is old and has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. It's still Yaoyao's beautiful appearance, like the little fairy sitting down by Guanyin."

Even Yaoyao couldn't accept it calmly when she was praised by Lan Xi.

The three of them went into the house to sit down. Lan Xi still held Yaoyao's hand and couldn't bear to let go: "Magpie, go call the second and third masters."

A girl with a round face replied, "Yes, madam."

After she went out, Xiaoyu thought about the maids who had just seen them, and couldn't help but ask: "Where are Chunlan and Qiuyin?"

Lan Xi smiled and said, "All married, marry the generals in the army. Chunlan's husband is now from the fifth-rank deputy Qianhu."

There are more men and few women in the border town. Chunlan is old in the capital, but she is very popular in Tongcheng. Chunlan and Qiuyin are good-looking and can write and calculate, and the generals in the army are almost broken for marrying them.

Xiaoyu asked with a smile: "The men in the border town are all rude and heard that they can beat their wives. These are rumors, aren't they true?"

Lan Xi smiled and said, "The soldiers in Tongcheng army are not particular about the behavior, and in the eyes of many people, they are rude. As for beating their wives, they are even more rude. There are few women in the border town, and the men who marry their wives want to give up their wives and how can they beat them."

This is also a disguised way to correct their reputation.

Xiaoyu said, "I see that they are talking about it with slightest eyes, so I have half-believing and half-doubting."

Qingshu was about to speak, but Yaoyao was ahead of her: "Aunt Yu, what is beating your wife?"

Xiaoyu's face froze, why did she forget that the child was still present: "It's just to beat my wife, it's just..."

Seeing her hesitant look Qingshu was funny and said, "Wife is the daughter-in-law, do you know the wife?"

"I know, mom, you are your father's wife."

"Yes, if your father hit me, it would be hitting my wife."

Yaoyao said with an oh, "Dad can only hit me and my brother, so he won't hit you!"

Xiaoyu and Lan Xi couldn't help but smile.

Qingshu didn't laugh, but said, "Women are less powerful than men, and they can't resist if they are beaten. However, it will be different if they practice martial arts. At that time, they can beat the other party upside down."

After hearing this, Yaoyao focused on her head: "Don't worry, mom, I will practice martial arts well and will not let anyone bully me."

Lan Xi opened her mouth and asked after a while: "You teach Yaoyao like this?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Lan Xi couldn't help laughing when she saw her calm look: "It's great. Yaoyao will not be afraid of being bullied by her husband's family when she gets married."

Yaoyao curled her lips and said, "I don't want to get married! I will live with my parents in the future. When they get old, I will accompany them every day."

Xiaoyu sighed a little that her daughter is better, look how considerate it! Look at her own brat, she is eating pastries happily! She didn't listen to a word of what they said.

At this moment, Brother Ye came over with Brother Tong'er's hand.

Brother Ye looks like a reduced version of Lan Xi, but maybe because he has a heroic spirit in martial arts, he doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between male and female.

Before the adults could speak, Yaoyao ran forward and looked at Ye Ge'er and said, "Brother Ye, you are so beautiful, better than me."

The previous sentence is successful, but the next sentence makes Qingshu laugh and cry. He praises others and insists on bringing himself with him.

When Ye Ge'er was in Tongcheng, he was praised for his good looks, but it was the first time he was said to be beautiful. He just looked at Yaoyao's smiling face and couldn't say bad things. He said with a stern face: "Only girls can praise their beauty, I am a boy."

Yaoyao is kind and likes the flow: "Brother Ye, you are so beautiful."

Brother Ye:...

Lan Xi laughed, it was the first time she saw her son being defeated: "Brother Ye, this is what your sister Yaoyao often mentions to you."

Brother Ye has already guessed Yaoyao’s identity.

When he had seen Qingshu and Xiaoyu, Lan Xi said, "Ye'er, you took Yaoyao and Brother Kun out to play, and your aunt Yu will have a conversation."
