When the guard at the gate saw the post carriage parked at the gate, he thought it was a normal letter delivery. However, after seeing people getting off the carriage, he could not help but stand up straight and follow the people getting off the carriage with vigilant eyes.
A familiar and beautiful woman first appeared in the sight of several people. Before they could figure out who she was, a child came down right after her, leaving them stunned.
A woman with a child came to them? To find someone? To find a relative?
Since they were not allowed to leave their posts without orders, no matter how curious they were, they could only watch. However, they secretly hoped that she would walk up the steps at the door, so that they would have a reason to ask her why she came.
Under the expectant gazes of several people, Xiaoguo stopped in front of the steps, then turned around and walked towards the carriage without hesitation.
The guards were very disappointed. They had nothing to do all day and just wanted to know some gossip but they didn't get any.
Xiao Guo brought Zhuang Zhuang to the front of the carriage, smiled sheepishly at the somewhat embarrassed postman, and then suddenly opened the curtain, "Why don't you get off?"
The five people in the carriage were startled by her.
Yuling and Xiaozhu's legs became weak when they saw soldiers again. They were fine when they saw their brother-in-law at home, but when they arrived at his workplace, their legs would not obey their commands.
Ruyi thought similarly to them. The three words "General's Mansion" frightened her no matter how she looked at them. She really didn't expect that her brother-in-law, who seemed so down-to-earth at home, would suddenly have a little bit of a look that made her afraid to approach him when he arrived in the capital.
"Come out."
Xiaoguo lifted the curtain for a few people and called out to them. Zhuangzhuang was eager to see his father, so he also followed suit and persuaded a few people to get off the car.
Faced with the voices of the mother and son, Qin Anming couldn't hold back his excitement anymore and got out of the car directly.
The reason why I didn't get off the car was actually the same as theirs. I knew he was a general, but knowing that and seeing him with my own eyes were still a little different.
However, no matter what Jiang Shanhe's identity was, he was still his brother-in-law and family member after all, so after thinking it over, he no longer felt conflicted.
Qin Anming got out of the car, and Shu Botong followed closely behind. He was fine and not too scared, but he felt a little dazed when he saw the armored guards at the door.
When his house was raided, a group of soldiers in armor rushed in. The moment he saw the guards wearing the same armor, his mind became a little dazed and he seemed to hear the heavy footsteps again, so he didn't react for a while.
Two more men got out of the car one after another, and the guard at the door widened his eyes. He thought about notifying his superiors, this combination was too strange.
Seeing that Qin Anming had gotten off, Ruyi no longer hesitated. The person living in the general's mansion was an acquaintance, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Her brother-in-law had called him many times, so she was not afraid and just got off!
Ruyi looked like she was going to die, and started walking out of the car with her bags.
Yuling and Xiaozhu also suppressed their fear and followed her down. It would be unreasonable for them not to go down if everyone else did.
Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang waited patiently for the few people to get off the bus. They did not forget to thank the postman who brought them here. They did not want him to send them here for free, so they wanted to give him some silver. Unexpectedly, the other party refused to accept anything. After everyone got off the bus, the postman went back to the post station in the capital to rest.
As soon as we got off the car, the guard had already informed Li Shouji.
There was no way. There were only the general and the deputy general in the mansion. Now the general was not there, and only the deputy general was there. He wanted to inform the general's wife, but she was in her hometown, so he couldn't be good even if he wanted to.
"What? Three men and four women came to the door? Two of them looked friendly?"
Li Shouji asked again curiously. This was the first time someone came to their door, so he couldn't help but feel curious.
"To be exact, there are two men, four women and a little boy."
"Oh, who's the one with the familiar face?"
"Reporting to the deputy commander, the little boy and the woman who looks like his mother, I seem to have seen these two somewhere before, they look very familiar."
His words successfully aroused Li Shouji's curiosity, and he decided to go and see for himself.
"What do the two kind-looking people look like?"
Li Shouji asked as he walked, his mind carefully turning over memories. A mother and son with a friendly look?
"The woman is pretty, with fair skin, big eyes and a small face. The boy is also very cute, chubby and white."
Please forgive his lack of education, this is the only way to describe it.
Li Shouji was enlightened by such a general description. He stopped, turned back and gave him a blank look before continuing to walk towards the door.
Although he didn't show it on his face, he had already started a quick search in his heart. The mother and son who fit his description had come to the general's mansion looking for someone. He suddenly had a bold guess.
The guard walked with his head down and nearly bumped into the back of Li Shouji who suddenly stopped. Fortunately, he braked in time. He was sweating profusely in his heart. Oh my God, this could affect his career if he was not careful.
After pausing, Li Shouji walked faster and faster. He couldn't wait to see if the person outside the gate was the person he thought of.
But if it was the person he guessed, why didn't Jiang Shanhe make any moves? If he knew his wife and son would come, wouldn't he have to prepare for it many days in advance?
It is true!
Li Shouji's face lit up with joy, and he shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Nephew, nephew!"
No one is treated unfairly, and the number of calls is the same for everyone.
Xiaoguo smiled and waved to him, forgiving her for being too embarrassed to greet him loudly in public.
Zhuangzhuang was also very happy to see him. He jumped and waved to him. He was not as thin-skinned as his mother. Instead, he was very thick-skinned.
Li Shouji called him loudly, so he called back loudly. This is called treating people warmly.
Ruyi and the others had never seen him before, so they took advantage of the fact that he hadn't come over yet and asked, "Sister Xiaoguo, who is he?"
Xiao Guo said to the group, "He is a good friend of Jiang Shanhe, his name is Li Shouji."
After thinking about it, in order to be able to get along without any burden in the future, she decided not to tell others about Li Shouji's position.
Li Shouji ran up to them, touched Zhuangzhuang first, and then looked at them happily, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Does Jiang Shanhe know?"
"I don't know yet. We came here secretly just to give him a surprise."
Xiao Guo made a confidential gesture to him and then asked, "He's not home, right?"
"Don't worry, they're not here!" Li Shouji looked at the others curiously, "Who are they?"
"These are my brother and his friends. They came along because they were worried about me."
"This is my brother, Shu Botong, Ruyi, Yuling and Xiaozhu."
"Hello, hello." After both parties greeted each other, Li Shouji invited them to go home.
The guards watched the group of people walking past them, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. When the deputy general called them sister-in-law and nephew just now, they immediately remembered their identities.
They asked why they looked so familiar, it turned out that the lady with superb cooking skills and the young master had returned!
After the people left, the guards breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked their lucky stars that they didn't say anything nonsense.
"You must be exhausted from the journey."
"Not bad, how are you doing lately?"
Xiaoguo admired the scenery in the yard as she walked. She didn't expect that Jiang Shanhe actually listened to her and decorated the yard well. The front yard was finally no longer dull.
"Do you want to ask me or Jiang Shanhe?" Li Shouji laughed as soon as he heard it, and said jokingly, "If you want to ask me, then I'm really doing well recently. If you want to ask Jiang Shanhe..."
Xiaoguo really wanted to ask about Jiang Shanhe's recent situation, but there were too many people around and he felt a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic temporarily.
After hearing that he had exposed her, Xiao Guo stopped hiding anything. Although she was a little shy, she still asked, "How is he doing recently?"
“Not very good.”
