Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Sun Xiuduan and the old lady looked at each other in the flower hall.

"Xiu Duan, this...do you and Chang Le have any contact on a daily basis?"

Sun Xiuduan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head slightly at her mother-in-law, "No."

"Then she treats you, her sister-in-law, a little differently." She looked at the long wooden box in Sun Xiuduan's hand curiously, "She even brought you something extra."

Even she, as the mother-in-law, doesn't have it.

She was not complaining, of course. Seeing her daughter-in-law sitting upright and listening to her seriously, she couldn't help but sigh, "That child must be angry. It's my fault that I didn't take care of it, but your unreasonable second sister-in-law ruined everything."

"Fortunately, she has been found now, and I am relieved. Otherwise, she is a woman with a child... I would feel guilty just thinking about it."

Sun Xiuduan lowered his eyes and stroked the smooth wooden box. His fingers ran across the metal buckle and he opened the box right under Ji's eyes.

"Is this... old mountain ginseng?" Ji hesitated.

"...Mom, this is ginseng. It should be quite old."

This is really a big gift. Sun Xiuduan bit her lip, a little surprised.

The person who came just now said that it was specially given to her. Her heart moved slightly and she placed one hand lightly on her abdomen.

Could it be that the woman already knew that she was pregnant? Otherwise, why would she suddenly send her a ginseng?

She had seen good things before, and the quality of this ginseng was worth a fortune.

At this time, Ji was also stunned, staring at the ginseng in her daughter-in-law's hand, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Sun Xiuduan gently put the lid back on and said, "Mother, this ginseng is too valuable. How about...you keep it?"

Ji almost jumped up when she heard that. "No! You keep it!" She realized that her tone might be harsh, so she quickly responded and said softly, "I'm old now, and my memory is not very good. Xiuduan, you keep the ginseng yourself."

Sun Xiuduan came down the ladder and smiled. "Then I'll listen to mother and put it away first."

Ji nodded, "Since it's a kind gesture from your sister-in-law, you should keep it. When she comes back in the future, you should get along well with her."

There are some things she can't say too clearly.

She herself was not a competitive person. She thought that with Gu Jingyan supporting the family and working to create a future for the Gu family, and she and her sons following behind, her life would never be too miserable.

But the third daughter-in-law was of noble birth, and she felt that she was being unfair to him by marrying the third son of her family.

It's rare that she's so gentle and virtuous. Since she came into the family, she has taken on the responsibility of managing the household, taking care of everything inside and outside the house, and making everyone obey her.

How could she bear to say such words to hurt her daughter-in-law's heart, saying that no matter how hard your husband struggles, he can't beat your eldest son Gu Jingyan?

Although my daughter-in-law has a gentle temperament, how can she be in a good mood after hearing these words?

The third son has recently calmed down and has been studying hard in the academy. His daughter-in-law sends servants to the academy every two or three days to bring him warmth, and everything he eats, wears and uses is of the highest quality.

I hope the third brother will not let down this friendship. Not to mention getting into the top three, family members know their own affairs, and it is also good to be able to get the title of a fellow Jinshi.

The second son went to work in the army, and the second daughter-in-law seemed to have become more obedient recently.

The Ji family has nothing to worry about now.

She patted the back of Sun Xiuduan's hand and said, "You are already a married woman, don't overwork yourself. If you have any problems, ask the maid to go to the Buddhist temple to find mother."

"Okay, Xiuduan will."

She asked the maid to take the ginseng box, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the flower hall together, and then parted ways outside the flower hall.

Ji returned to the Buddhist temple in the backyard, and Sun Xiuduan, supported by the housekeeper, went to the back kitchen yard where the two carts of holiday gifts were placed.

The Gu family had given out all the holiday gifts, so the two carts of gifts were divided into three parts.

The richest portion was left for the master in the palace, and after it was packed up, someone had it sent to the palace.

The rest will be divided between the Gu and Sun families.

There are many kinds of zongzi, not only in large quantity but also in many flavors.

The fruit was juicy and sweet, and Sun Xiuduan couldn't help but eat a lot of cherries and grapes.

At night, she opened the ginseng box again and thought about it.

The next day, she informed Ji, took the festival gift for the Sun family, and went to her parents' home in a carriage.

The eldest daughter of the Sun family returned to her parents' home, and all the masters in the mansion were happy.

In the main hall of Ruyi Courtyard.

Sun Li returned to his residence after court today.

He guessed that his eldest granddaughter might come over today.

This morning in the emperor's study, I watched the performance of the father and son that day.

Implicitly, they seemed to be showing more respect to their ancestor than to themselves.

He doesn't bother with them.

Anyway, he won't be missing.

Sun Li watched Sun Xiuduan open the ginseng box he brought and put it on the kang table, thinking: Here it comes.

I was amazed in my heart. Is it possible that ginseng from the north is so easy to get?

It's not that he has never seen ginseng before, but ginseng of high age and good quality is really hard to come by.

Is this the fourth ginseng that my granddaughter-in-law has sent to Kyoto?

After listening to Sun Xiuduan's explanation, he asked her to take the ginseng back and keep it well.

He did not forget that old man Gu Wen came to express his gratitude with his little granddaughter last month.

With just a piece of ginseng the size of a little finger, he managed to save Gu Wen's old wife's life from the King of Hell.

Gu Wen's cloudy, watery eyes flashed in his mind for several days.

When Emperor Ouyang Qin learned the news that Gu Wen's old wife had recovered from her illness, he and Sun Li were speechless.

I'm really anxious and want to get to the bottom of it.

But he remembered what Ouyang Siyuan had said before, telling them not to talk too much, because the more they knew, the worse it would be for their lifespan...

Sun Li has carefully put away the remaining ginseng. Who knows, one day, someone in the family will need such a thing...

"Grandfather has it here, too. She got it years ago. She brought it back from the north as a gift."

Sun Xiuduan had never heard Sun Li talk about it before, but after thinking about it, she understood that he was probably afraid that she would think too much.

She put the box away silently.

The ginseng was originally meant for her, so she thought about what she had the right to do with it.

She didn't feel guilty about giving it all to her grandparents, because if she needed it in the future, her parents would give it to her.

But now that she heard that her grandfather had it, she no longer refused.

Seeing her like this, Sun Li stroked his gray beard and said gently, "Jing Yan left Leng Yi and Leng Er, two secret guards, in Li County. The news in the capital cannot be hidden from the secret guards."

He glanced at his eldest granddaughter's calm face, and thought of his deceased eldest daughter, feeling sad.

That was the first child of him and his wife, the eldest daughter who grew up in the palm of his hand...

From now on, the two granddaughters in the family must be kept under careful watch and not allowed to follow in their aunt's footsteps.

"You must keep it well. The ginseng from the north..." He opened his mouth, "You also said that I asked you to bring it to you specially. You must know that you are pregnant now. This is indeed a rare and good ginseng. It can protect the family."

He felt comforted in his heart that the people around his grandson were all thinking about their master.

No matter what, even if the Gu family splits up, as long as the two sides have no disagreements and can live in harmony, it will be the same as not splitting up.

After all, whether the family is divided or not, Gu Jingyan cannot ignore the Gu residence. That is the confidence that General Gu left for the descendants of the Gu family, and the tablets of their ancestors are still in the Gu residence.

Everyone knew that if Gu Jingyan had not been involved in this marriage, no prince in Kyoto who came to ask to marry the eldest granddaughter of the Grand Tutor would be the third young master of the Gu family!
