I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

Along the way, the warmth of family reunion was offset by this desolate scene.

The children fell asleep in the carriage.

Gu Dingbei looked at Shen Lianxin, hesitant to speak. Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

In fact, Gu Dingbei was surprised at Shen Lianxin's financial resources. When he left, his home was just a small wooden house.

This was earned through his hard work of hunting every day. He had been a hunter before, so he understood how difficult it was for people at the bottom to turn their lives around. Even though he was a prince and a general, when he really fell into poverty and became a hunter, he still couldn't let Shen Lianxin live a good life.

But now, after years of fighting, the Zhenbei Palace had already emptied its assets for the soldiers at the border. It only had a palace, but in fact, it was not enough to cover its expenses.

Gu Dingbei thought about it and decided to explain things to Shen Lianxin.

"Madam, there are wars on the frontier all year round, and the food and supplies issued by the court are limited. In fact, the Zhenbei Palace has always been in deficit. In recent years, there have been famines, and the taxes and grain collected from the fiefdom are not enough to support the army. So..."

Shen Lianxin smiled without saying anything. She had already guessed this situation.

Gu Dingbei lowered his head, blushing, "When you return to the palace, you will naturally receive the honors you deserve, but in reality, life may not be as easy as you imagine."

Shen Lianxin took the initiative to hold his hand. Such a handsome man should be flirted with.

"I understand. Don't worry!"

Gu Dingbei held Shen Lianxin's hand with his backhand, "Keep this!"

Shen Lianxin took over a sandalwood carved brocade box, which was very exquisite. When she opened it, she saw some land deeds, house deeds and silver bills inside.

Shen Lianxin smiled knowingly, "What do you mean, General?"

Gu Dingbei looked at Shen Lianxin's eyes affectionately and firmly. "This is the private money I saved from years of fighting. There is not much silver, only a few thousand taels, which I basically used to buy food for the soldiers in other counties. But there are still some land deeds and house deeds, and there are several better manors, which were profitable before. In recent years, there has been no money collected due to the famine, but I have not lost money."

He looked at Shen Lianxin seriously and said, "I believe that after we survive the famine, these businesses will make money. Now that I have recovered my memory and brought my wife back, I will naturally give these to my wife for safekeeping!!"

Shen Lianxin was moved. When a person says "I love you" a thousand or ten thousand times, it is not as good as taking actual action.

The greatest trust and entrustment a man can place on a woman is naturally to hand over his family fortune.

"I am the prince of Zhenbei Palace, and the entire Zhenbei Palace will be mine in the future. You will be the princess at that time, and there will be more. But now my mother is in charge of the palace. My mother has a gentle personality and is easy to get along with. She will definitely like you."

"My father has my mother and a concubine, Liu, who has been with my father for many years. She is polite and courteous. In the early years, she would have some small thoughts, but in recent years, she has become quiet as she has grown older and the palace is in a bad situation. Now she is of the same mind as us."

"I have two younger brothers, one is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts. My second brother, Gu Dingze, was born to my mother and is my brother. He is a casual person who likes literature more than martial arts. My mother favors him more and he has been more willful since he was young."

"My third brother, Gu Dinglian, is the son of Concubine Liu. He has a cold personality and doesn't like to talk. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has good skills. He has followed his father in the battlefield for many years. He is still in Dingzhou now."

Shen Lianxin listened quietly to Gu Dingbei's story. He was afraid that she didn't understand the situation in the palace and would feel uncomfortable when she arrived.

"When you get to the palace, you may need to learn some rules from your mother. No one will make things difficult for you. If you encounter something you can't solve, you can send someone to write to me. I will help you!!"

Shen Lianxin nodded. At this moment, her heart was warmed again, and the slight uneasiness she had originally felt disappeared.

"Leng Feng's injury is no longer serious. Once he has recovered, I will let him continue to follow you. When I am not around, he will protect you for me."

Shen Lianxin leaned her head gently on Gu Dingbei.

As the carriage swayed back and forth, I gradually fell asleep.

Gu Dingbei carried Shen Lianxin onto the couch, let her head rest on his legs, and just looked down at her.

Shen Lianxin's eyebrows and eyes have not changed, but her temperament is completely different.

The feeling of being both familiar and strange made Gu Dingbei's eyes blurry.

The person in front of me is clearly the same person, yet not the same person.

In a blink of an eye, the bumpy days on the road were over.

Finally arrived at Zhenbei Palace.

This palace is quite magnificent.

The house has grey tiles and white walls, and a tall gate with guards at the entrance.

Seeing Gu Dingbei coming back, they all bowed, "Prince!"

Gu Dingbei took Shen Lianxin and a few children inside.

What came into view was a large courtyard with flowering trees planted beside it, but now it was covered with snow. Some servants saluted when they saw Gu Dingbei.

Passing through a crescent gate, there is a pool of water surrounded by rockery. It is not frozen in such a cold winter. It can be seen that it is a hot spring.

Walking through the corridor, I saw an old woman wearing gorgeous clothes but a plain hairpin on her head, looking towards the door with the support of a maid.

Gu Dingbei stepped forward and knelt down, "Mother, my son is back!!"

The old princess helped Gu Dingbei up, tears in her eyes, "Good!! It's good that you're back!! It's good that you're back!!"

Then he looked at Shen Lianxin and several children beside Gu Dingbei, his eyes full of anticipation.

Shen Lianxin took Gu Chengxin, Gu Chengan, Gu Chengjing and Gu Chengzhen to pay their respects to the princess.

"Mother, I wish you good health and happiness!" Shen Lianxin didn't know whether the etiquette was correct or not, so she just said some auspicious words.

“Grandma, may you be blessed with good health!!”

“Grandma, may you be blessed with good health!!”

Several children followed suit and saluted.

The old princess excitedly helped everyone up, "Get up, get up quickly! Let me see, this is Bei'er's wife? And the children?"

The old princess was obviously a little excited.

Gu Dingbei quickly supported her, "Mother, this is Shen Lianxin, my legal wife. This is my eldest son Gu Chengxin! This is Cheng'an, Cheng Jing and Cheng Zhen."

The old princess nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! I'm glad you're back!!"

The old princess said to the servants, "Tell the kitchen to make some good dishes, including pig's trotters and spare ribs. Today is a good day, make more meat."

The little girl responded with a smile, "Yes, Princess!!"

As he spoke, the second son of the palace, Gu Dingze, came running over. When he saw Gu Dingbei, he ran over and gave him a big hug. "Brother!! You're back!!! That's great!! I missed you so much!!!"

Gu Dingbei punched him lightly. This younger brother has always loved to stick to him since he was a child, but now he doesn't behave like an adult.

Gu Dingze looked in the direction of Shen Lianxin, put away his mischievous attitude, and bowed respectfully to Shen Lianxin, "Dingze greets the eldest sister-in-law!!"

Shen Lianxin returned the greeting, "You're welcome, second brother."

Then, everyone in the room bowed to Shen Lianxin, "Hello, sister-in-law!!"

"This is my second brother's wife, Zhang!"

Shen Lianxin returned the gift and quickly took out a fine jade hairpin from her sleeve, "It's just a small gift, I hope my sister-in-law won't despise it."
