Du Jingyi stood up and glanced out the window. Sure enough, some white light gradually appeared in the darkness.

So she found a suitable position and fell asleep peacefully in Gu Shaoyu's arms. Gu Shaoyu looked at his wife with great doting.

He also wanted to stay and accompany his wife and children, but now was a critical moment and he couldn't slack off, so after making sure Du Jingyi was asleep, he got up and left quietly.

It came lightly and left silently.

By the time Du Jingyi woke up, Gu Shaoyu had already run twenty miles away.

She took a greedy breath, as if her husband was still by her side. It was a pity that she had been in such a hurry and had not been able to talk to the children and elders.

"cherry."

Du Jingyi shouted outside, and Yingtao came in quickly. She helped Du Jingyi wash up and eat skillfully, and then went to the flower hall.

On the way, Du Jingyi asked in a low voice.

"When did the general leave?"

"It was just daybreak, and he walked so quietly that I almost didn't hear him."

No wonder, she was sleeping the deepest at that time, how could she hear it? Du Jingyi sighed, but knew that there was nothing he could do, so he didn't plan to tell it to others.

Therefore, when she arrived at the flower hall, no one knew that Gu Shaoyu had quietly returned last night, and they thought she was just being lazy and slept until now.

Mrs. Du came over and saw that her face didn't look very good, so she asked in confusion.

"Why is there a dark circle under your eyes? Did you not sleep well?"

"I'm sorry to have worried you, mother. It's okay. I had a lot of dreams last night, so I didn't sleep very well. I took a nap this morning, but it didn't help much. That's why it turned out like this."

"I have some tranquilizing pills. I'll send them to you later. Take two of them and you'll feel much more peaceful when you sleep at night."

Du Jingyi smiled and nodded, and even made a joke.

"Is it appropriate to take tranquilizing pills in the first month of the year?"

"What's wrong with that? Your health is the most important thing. Just eat."

"Okay, mother has the final say, I'll listen to you."

Then Du Jingyi took her hand affectionately and walked towards the children. A group of people gathered in front of a boy, watching with great interest.

Du Jingyi was curious and leaned over. He saw that the boy was very quick and deft. He made a lot of colorful clay dolls in no time. Each of them was lifelike and they were exactly the children in the family.

So she asked out of curiosity.

"How did you learn this skill?"

"My father has been selling clay figurines to support the family since he was young, so I learned a little from him. These things are not presentable at first, but Miss Jin'er saw them and asked for them, so I made some. Unexpectedly, the young masters in the family also liked them, so I went to find Butler He and got these colored clays, thinking that I could make little figurines for them to play with, which would be my blessing."

"You are so modest."

The man chuckled, then continued to work intently.

However, his action reminded Du Jingyi of something, and he then called Butler He and Nanny Dou.

"Madam, what can I do for you?"

"There are so many servants and maids in the house. I never thought about whether they have any skills before. Now that it is New Year, let's call them all over and ask them. There are many children in our yard, and it is not convenient to go out. If there are people with the same skills as this person who can entertain everyone, please be more active and enthusiastic. Everyone will be rewarded generously."

Hearing this, the boy who was making the clay figurine immediately bowed and thanked him.

The children also clapped and cheered, and the aunts and the others all admired Du Jingyi.

"Speaking of being the head of a household, I have some experience. I used to think I was pretty good at being the head of a household, but now I know how flexible you are when I see you in charge."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Auntie. I just thought that there would be a lot of people in the first month of the year, and we have a lot of children. If we go out and squeeze around, it would be unsafe, but it would be boring to stay at home. So I just happened to run into you, and that's what happened. It's not worth talking about."

"You have a smart and quick mind, no matter what you do, so don't be so modest."

The aunt has always loved Du Jingyi, so Mrs. Du was happy to hear these words.

People say that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward, and this is not a scary thing like fighting on the battlefield, so quite a few "craftsmen" were found.

Some of them can tie colorful balls, some can jump rope, and some can do some juggling tricks, but in front of the adults who have seen the world, they think it is nothing.

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

But the children couldn't take their eyes off it once they saw it, so they became happier day by day.

During this period, relatives from the Xing family, the Guo family, the He family, and the Earl's Mansion all came to visit. When they saw these things, they also found them very interesting, so the General's Mansion could be said to keep one for every one that came.

Xing Zhao also knew when Gu Shaoyu came back.

And when they went to meet the Prince and Mr. Wen, he was the one who accompanied them, so the children played by themselves, and Du Jingyi avoided everyone when talking to Xing Zhao.

"In three years at most, the prince will be able to accomplish his great cause. By then, there will be another wave of bloodshed in Sui'an City. Cousin, are you ready?"

"The snow is coming. All I can do is protect my family. As for what's happening outside, it's up to the general and you to worry about it."

Xing Zhao still admired her calmness.

Obviously, she was not from a military family or a noble family, but when something happened, she was never anxious or afraid. She would fight against the enemy with her own army and block the water with earth, which was quite like a great general.

"In a few days, I will go back to Wangzhou. By then, the prince will also be leaving. Once we all leave, Sui'an City will be very boring again."

"How could that be? Has Shang Qilang decided where to go?"

"It's settled. Can you guess where it is?"

Looking at Xing Zhao's expression, Du Jingyi knew that it must be near Cezhou, so he sighed and said.

"Your Majesty is most wary of the general, so you must be more careful. This time when you go back, your connection with Yinzhou must be safe."

"Don't worry, cousin. Shang Qilang is a great treasure. With him around, our plan to conceal our true intentions will be much easier to implement."

Shang Qilang and the emperor both have one goal, which is to get Gu Shaoyu.

Therefore, with Gu Shaoyu attracting firepower in the front, the plans of Yinzhou and the prince can be carried out faster. By then, if they cut off the source of the trouble, the emperor will surely be caught off guard and it will be too late to regret!
