Chapter 12

Cao family Fourth Young Master said: "Such heroic actions and comrade-in-arms affection are truly admirable!"

The Sun family old master shook his head and said: "The ancestor might have hurt his foundation that time, and since then, he couldn't lift heavy objects and died early in middle age.

It is a pity that the leading general also lost his life in the subsequent battle.

This... this is a good day; we shouldn't talk about this here.

Come, come, come, let's drink together!"

Everyone raised their glasses with a sigh and then changed the topic, talking about the Emperor's birthday.

As subjects, besides birthday gifts, they also had to discuss some performance programs.

Just as they were talking, there was crying in the courtyard, but everyone didn't take it to heart; boys mostly fought and played, and it was common to be beaten and cry.

After a while, an eight or nine-year-old boy with injuries on his head and covered in dirt walked in and came to the side of Sun family Qiao Jiu Lang.

"Father, woo-woo-woo-woo."

This Sun family Qiao Jiu Lang didn't get angry and asked casually: "Nineteenth Young Master, which older brother taught you a lesson?"

The boy's crying stopped for a moment.

"Father, it was Xu family Aunt's child."

"Oh, it's your cousin Zai, he is five years older than you; you can't fight him hard, you have to find an opportunity, take him by surprise, and give him one."

In a military family, one must cultivate the habit of not being afraid of things and using one's brain more since childhood.

"It's not cousin Zai, it's... it's... it's..." The boy's tone was hesitant.

"Zaihang is a scholar; you can't even beat him. Don't lean on your old man; wait until I finish the wine banquet, and I will train you. You are losing face for the Sun family; go to the side."

"Wah." The boy cried even more miserably.

At this moment, another boy of similar age poked his head out from the door. His hair was scattered from his head; it should be that his braids were pulled apart to become like this. There was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. He ran while shouting:

"Ninth Uncle, Nineteenth Young Master wanted to snatch Jing-ge's little horse and was beaten by Jing-ge."

"Jing-ge, which Cao family has a Jing-ge?"

As he spoke, Sun Qiao Jiu Lang looked suspiciously at the Cao family.

"It's Xu family Aunt's Third Young Master."

"You brat, you are farting; your cousin is not even five years old, and he can beat my son?"

"Wah."

Nineteenth Young Master cried even more miserably.

"Father, Eighth Uncle's family's Seventeenth brother was also knocked down by Jing-ge's horse. You beat him, you beat him."

Sun family Eighth Young Master heard this, looked at his son with blood on the corner of his mouth at the door, left the table, and was about to go beat someone, but that brat ran away early.

After a storm, the table laughed loudly and continued to drink and exchange cups.

Backyard.

In the room of Sun Shi's mother.

Gu Old Madam looked at Sun Shi and said,

"The maid of the manor reported that the Sheng family, far away in Fujian Road, also sent a gift to the manor."

Sun Shi looked at the sisters-in-law beside her and said in a deep voice:

"It should be because of the help we gave them."

"I'm old, and I think more. Back then, your mother-in-law's approach, I couldn't stand it. If she had written a letter to explain the situation directly, I think that Old Madam Sheng, for the sake of her father's incense, would have helped. But she..."

"Wanted to marry a concubine-born daughter from a side branch."

Sun family Old Madam pondered: "That was a solid slap in the face, and it also denied the hard work of the only daughter of the Yongyi Marquis for so many years."

Sun family's eldest sister-in-law also interjected:

"When Tenth Daughter first married over, she also suffered all the rules of her mother-in-law. She had to stand rules in the cold winter month while pregnant with Zai-ge. If she hadn't been healthy since childhood, she wouldn't have been humiliated like this..."

The second sister-in-law on the other side said:

"It's still looking down on our Sun family, wanting the Yongyi Marquis to marry the daughter of her maiden family. She didn't look at her own background; if it weren't for Tenth Daughter's father-in-law being honest and kind, she would have been divorced long ago..."

"Alright, stop talking," Sun Old Madam said.

She looked at her youngest daughter and continued:

"Now Old Madam Sheng is also old. Actually, you being able to become the mistress of the Yongyi Hou Fu is our family climbing high.

It is also thanks to the favor of your husband's grandfather.

In addition, that Old Madam He, whose maiden name is Zhang, was able to treat you with all her heart back then; it cannot be said that it was not for the sake of her close friend."

"Yes, Mother, I am grateful for Old Madam He's kindness. When Old Madam Sheng has her birthday, I will send a gift."

"Good, good. Go ask outside why there is crying; don't let anyone be bullied." Old Madam said to the maid beside her.

"Grandmother, Xu Zaijing hit me, woo-woo-woo." Seventeenth Young Master howled and ran into the room.

Sun Old Madam wiped her grandson's tears: "Oh my, Seventeenth Young Master, you are older than your cousin; how could he hit you?"

"He has great strength, and he has a horse that knocked me down all at once. Woo-woo-woo-woo, Grandmother..."

Sun Shi wanted to laugh but didn't want to laugh and scolded: "This little brat who doesn't worry."

Old Madam looked at her youngest daughter with full love,

"This is a good thing. It seems Jing-ge is not someone who suffers losses. Not afraid of the strong, good thing."

"Mother~, you are too biased." The daughter-in-law of the Old Madam pretended to be jealous.

"You are already a grandmother; you are still acting spoiled here."

"Who let me have a good mother-in-law."

For a time, the room was full of laughter.

The Sun family made it clear that they were relying on the Cao family. The Cao family's roots were in the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army was directly facing the Li family's Bai Gao country.

Over the years, the Great Zhou Dynasty had always wanted to take back this piece of the former dynasty's territory, so there had been small and large battles in the Northwest.

Most of the Sun family's descendants were in the Northwest Army, so there was no intrigue between brothers in ordinary families; there was more of the feeling of comrades-in-arms plus brothers.

The sisters-in-law also knew each other's background well; those with black hearts and selfish intentions were mostly divorced.

The previous generation of the Sun family had descendants who abandoned their comrades-in-arms and were beaten to death by the Sun family master in the army, so the Sun family's family style was quite famous in the army.

After the banquet, the Xu family's carriage and horses left the Sun family. Xu Zaijing was riding on his little horse, but the little horse didn't have its reins loosened; instead, it was tied behind the carriage.

In the Sun manor, they talked about Xu Zaijing's matter. Some cousins suffered, some because they suffered losses themselves, and some because they had wrong thoughts and coveted their own bloodline.

More than ten days later, the Lady Ningyuan Hou Fu had the joy of "getting a tile" (having a daughter).

At the time of the Lady Ningyuan Hou Fu's legitimate daughter's full-month banquet.

Xu Zaijing followed Sun Shi to the Lady Ningyuan Hou Fu. He looked at the baby lying in the swaddling clothes on the bed and then looked at Gu Tingye beside him, and Madam Bai wearing a forehead band.

Ever since he knew Madam Bai was pregnant, Xu Zaijing often asked his mother about Madam Bai's month. Knowing that Madam Bai was already eight months pregnant, he pestered Sun Shi and often went to the Lady Ningyuan Hou Fu.

Xu Zaijing even thought of a way, using the excuse of being frightened and losing his soul, to go to the Yuqing Temple outside the city, which was the "Yuqing Temple Theme Hotel" in the TV series.

Using his "money ability" to ask the fortune-telling gentleman in the Taoist temple to say some mysterious divination words.

After returning to the manor, he used a commanding tone to tell Mama Chang, the personal nurse of Madam Bai, that pregnant women who love Xu Zaijing should not go shopping in the garden, and only then could Xu Zaijing recover, and so on.

He also cried and made a scene, making Sun Shi invite Madam Bai to attend the polo match.

This truly moved a world line; I don't know how many people's fates would be changed. (Hiss, it actually pressed on.)

Madam Bai, who was talking about intimate words with Sun Shi, suddenly pulled Sun Shi to her side and said: "Sister, they all say that sitting in the month is a woman's rebirth, but I dreamed of many things, and every time I think of them, my heart hurts."
