After hearing this, Aunt He felt relieved and smiled at Jin'er and said.

"Okay, then Grandma He will thank you on behalf of my sister. I will definitely hang this purse on her rocking bed to keep her safe for the rest of her life!"

"Um!"

Jin'er nodded happily, with two dimples on her face, looking extremely cute.

After a whole afternoon of hard work, everyone was tired. They had originally planned to have dinner at the He family before leaving, but Aunt Xing had to leave first for something. Du Jingyi thought about it and decided to take the children with her.

After returning to the general's mansion, I naturally had to tell my aunt and the others about this good news.

It just so happened that the children were playing together, so Du Jingyi went there and told them about this matter.

"Oh, how could we miss such a good thing? Hurry up, prepare the gift and send it over tomorrow."

Du Jingyi smiled, and then told the story of Jin'er giving away the amulet purse. The aunt looked at her granddaughter happily, and then said.

"It's okay. We have to ask for the amulet every year. Since she gave this year's amulet away, we can go to the Taira-ji Temple in the suburbs to ask for another one in a few days."

"Okay, we'll go together then. I'll also pray for the general."

After hearing Du Jingyi mention Gu Shaoyu, the aunt started to ask.

"It's been a year since Shao Yu left. When will he come back?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I often receive letters from home, and seeing the words is like seeing the person, so it's okay."

The aunt sighed, patted her shoulder, and said with pity in her eyes.

"That's the bad thing about being a military officer's wife. You have to be separated from your husband for a long time. Now that your children are young, they will naturally be around you. When they grow up, they will also join the army. Then you will have to worry about Shao Yu and the children."

The aunt was an experienced person, so she was very sincere when she said this. Du Jingyi could hear it, and then he comforted her while also comforting himself.

"When I was a child, my father also had to go out of town for business, and sometimes he would be gone for half a year, so I was used to it. The general once said that when the time was right in a few years, he would take our family to Cezhou, and once we were there, we wouldn't be separated easily again."

The aunt understood what Gu Shaoyu said. Isn't this the so-called frontier official? If they can stay in Cezhou for a long time, then the family can be reunited often. However, according to the current situation, this idea is probably difficult to achieve. Therefore, the aunt also sighed in her heart, but she still had to look happy on the surface.

"Good, good, since Shaoyu and you have made a decision, then go for this bright future. Although I have never been to Cezhou, I have heard about it many times from my fourth brother's wife. The people there are simple and honest, and the scenery is unique!"

"Yeah, I haven't been there either. Let's go and see the beautiful scenery of the northern frontier together when the time comes!"

Everyone laughed and talked, and the days passed by in a flash.

The hot summer quietly passed away with the autumn rain, and the north wind gradually rose, so the leaves on the branches gradually fell to the ground.

The lush greenery in the yard began to look like late autumn or early winter. The dead branches did not look so pretty, so Du Jingyi simply asked Cherry and the others to make velvet flowers imitating the red plum blossoms that only appear in winter, and glued them on with rice paste.

It's not necessary to have the branches full of them, it just makes the dead branches appear less abrupt.

Therefore, there is always a festive atmosphere in Xitang Courtyard all year round, and my aunt and her family always enjoy it every time they come.

"You know what, this velvet flower is really realistic. When I first saw it, I went over to smell it, and it actually had the fragrance of plum blossoms. How did they do that?"

"What a clever idea of ​​Cherry. Last year, she collected a lot of red plums and made them into a fragrant dew. The scent lasted a long time, so she mixed some with water and sprinkled some on the velvet flowers when the weather was fine. After doing this a few times, the scent really stuck to the flowers. It's light and very pleasant to the touch."

"I see, your girl will be with you for a long time!"

The eldest aunt looked at Yingtao. She was old enough to be an aunt now. She saw that the others, like Danruo and Luju, had already married, had children, and were successful. So she wondered why Yingtao, who had served her the longest, had no place to go.

So I asked jokingly.

"Miss Cherry is a good person, but it's hard to avoid being lonely if you have to accompany your wife for the rest of your life. Do you have someone you like in your heart? If so, please tell us. We will arrange a good marriage for you and will never let you suffer any injustice."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Aunt Xing next to her also came to join in the fun and hurriedly spoke.

"That's a good idea, sister-in-law. But I'm afraid Miss Cherry doesn't like the people at home. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen any sparks for so many years. I think we can take a look outside. Aren't there going to be imperial examinations next year? I see that the inns outside are full of students taking the exams. Even my husband's eldest brother's house has more than ten people living there. I'm afraid they have a bright future. How about I pick out a suitable one for you from these people?"

When Cherry heard this, a somewhat naive thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed it. Seeing that all the ladies were so enthusiastic about arranging her marriage, she was still the same as before.

"Thank you Madam and Madam Xing for your kindness. Yingtao is just a maid, how can I be worthy of those imperial examination candidates? Besides, I made a vow before that I would stay by your side and serve you for the rest of my life, so I would like to thank you here."

Her attitude was still so firm, Du Jingyi had no choice but to secretly shake his head at everyone. They wondered if there was something unknown, so they didn't say anything else.

After Yingtao took the opportunity to go out to do some work, Aunt Xing lowered her voice and asked.

"What's wrong? Does Cherry have someone in her heart? That's why she doesn't have any thoughts at all?"

Du Jingyi sighed, and didn't want to say anything nonsense, so he could only mention it lightly.

"When Vice General Luo was still alive, the general and I thought that they could become a couple, so we tried to bring them together. However, Cherry didn't have any interest in it, so the matter faded away. Later, when Vice General Luo passed away, I thought it was nothing. But one day, I heard the maid who lived with Cherry say that she had a handkerchief under her pillow, which she treasured very much. She would always take it out to look at it when she had nothing to do. I asked the maid to take me to see it secretly. It was left by Vice General Luo when she was taking care of him when he was injured and recuperating at home." (End of this chapter)
