Fragrance Returned

On May 20, the 35th year of Qingguan, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.

The Chengyi Marquis’s mansion was full of guests and was filled with joy.

Today was the full moon of Ding Bingyan, the eldest son of Ding Lichun, and the Chengyi Marquis’s mansion invited him to celebrate the full moon.

Xun Xiang took the child back to her parents’ home yesterday and drew a “full moon picture” for Ding Bingyan.

The little guy was white and fat, and looked more like Ren Zixuan. The Ding family still had a small round nose, which was both beautiful and honest.

The Ding family had strong genes. Dong Ruyue, Zhang, and Tang were unable to change, but the third generation finally began to change.

There were many guests, and Xun Xiang was responsible for entertaining the young wife and children. Xue Tian and Ding Zhen accompanied Zhang to receive the female guests in the main courtyard.

At this time, Zixuan was like a kindergarten in the previous life, with five or six children from large, medium and small classes playing in the corridor. Although Dong Youcheng was only four and a half years old, he was the leader among these radish heads.

There was also a nursery class in the hall. There were two large mats on the ground. On one of them sat three children aged one or two, Qiu Jiming, Wang Hui, and Xun You.

On the other, five babies of several months old were lying or lying down, Ding Bingshen, eleven months old, Sun Weijie, five months old, Xun Zhengru and Wang Da, three months old, and Qiu Jichu, two months old.

Xun Zhengru was the eldest son of Xun Yibo, Wang Da was the eldest son of Wang Lei, and Qiu Jichu was the second son of Qiu Wangzhi.

Xun Zhengru inherited the handsome eyebrows and bright eyes of the Xun family and the big dimples of the Mi family. He was a very beautiful and handsome child.

Xun Xiang was talking and laughing with ten young wives.

The oldest among them was Mi Hongmian, who was twenty-two years old this year. Her belly was already very big, and she was going to give birth to her second child next month.

The youngest was Mi Honglan, who was a few months younger than Xun Xiang and was just sixteen years old.

This age group was in high school and college in the previous life, but it was the best childbearing age in ancient times.

Xun Xiang touched her slightly childish face. As a modern person, she cannot escape this fate. She became a mother at the age of sixteen.

She thought that when Sun Yumu came back, she would do her best to take measures and wait for the second child...

Before the capital received the news, she had dreamed ten days ago that the Southern Expedition Army won a great victory and Sun Yumu and others were drinking to celebrate. There were more than a dozen scary heads hanging outside the door. I wonder if Li Song was among them.

This news should be reported back in the next two days. Sun Yumu will return triumphantly in the near future.

She dreamed of Dong Niangqin again two days ago. Dong Niangqin lived in a simple wooden house with two children. She was dressed very simply and looked much older, but her smile was still so gentle.

Two children, a boy of six or seven years old and a girl of about two years old.

Dong Niangqin held the little girl, and Xun Xiang could see the little girl more clearly. She actually looked a bit like Xun Xiang, white and plump, snow-white and cute.

Like Xun Xiang is like Fang'er.

Xun Xiang felt that the child was more likely to be Han Qi's daughter. Because Uncle Dong once said that such a precious medicine as Hailanzhu should be used to save lives.

Even if it was a granddaughter, Uncle Dong and Aunt Dong had finally achieved their wish. They finally had a descendant like Fang'er, who was so strong.

It was snowy there and it was in a cold winter, which was the opposite of here.

In just three and a half years, they had occupied and lived in that land.

Uncle Dong was mighty!

However, there was still a long way to go to build it into a prosperous place and resist the invasion from the other side of the ocean...

It was a pity that these two good news could not be told to others.

Master Mingyuan left with several disciples at the beginning of this year. They took a boat to Malacca via Guangzhou to preach. Many people in Malacca at this time believed in Buddhism and were very welcoming to the Dali monk.

Xun Xiang knew that Master Mingyuan would set out from there to meet Uncle Dong and fulfill the previous "five-year agreement"...

The dazzling sunlight shone through the green gauze window, shining on the children on the ground, covering them with a layer of golden light. They were all wearing bellybands and shorts, with their arms and feet exposed, looking so tender and fleshy that people couldn't help but want to take a bite.

Ding Bingshen crawled to Xun Zhengru and pinched his cousin's nose and ears. The nurse was afraid that he was not careful enough, so she held him farther away. He crawled to Qiu Jichu, and the nurse held him farther away again.

The little guy was not angry, and crawled to Sun Weijie, who was holding one of Wang Da's fingers and putting it in his mouth. Ding Bingshen grabbed another finger of Wang Da, and the two nurses put the two children farther away again...

Xun You suddenly cried over there, and she was slapped by Qiu Jiming.

Qiu Jiming had just made Wang Hui cry a quarter of an hour ago.

Tao Jing hurried over to hold Qiu Jiming and reason with him.

Mi Hongmian smiled and said, "Ming Ge'er looks silent, but his hands and feet are the fastest, making it hard to guard against."

Everyone laughed.

Qiu Jiming waved his hand and admitted his mistake, "No more fighting, no more fighting."

He went to play with the two little sisters again, "I won't fight you, play with me."

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the maid from the main courtyard came to invite the grandmothers to the main courtyard for dinner.

The children were taken care of by the wet nurse to eat, drink milk and rest here.

As soon as everyone sat down in the flower hall, Lord Sun sent someone to deliver the news that he was summoned to the palace by the emperor in the morning, and Marshal Mi sent someone to send an urgent message back eight hundred miles away.

The southern expeditionary army completely wiped out the rebels in early May, and captured Li Song, his four sons, and eight rebel leaders who hid in the mountains on the tenth day of May.

All the rebel leaders were killed. Li Song's two grandsons were too young, so they were killed together with his daughter-in-law and son-in-law. Li Song and his four sons, six women, and three daughters will be escorted back to Beijing.

The advanced firearms played an indispensable role in the rapid elimination of the rebels...

Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Sun cried with joy.

Everyone congratulated them, and the sound of firecrackers rang out in the front yard for a long time.

After dinner and watching a play, the guests left the house one after another.

Xun Xiang wants to take Sun Weijie to Kunning Palace to visit Queen Ye and stay there for a day.

Mi Honglan took Xun Zhengru to stay for a day just two days ago.

Two pairs of mother and son alternated to accompany Queen Ye, which gave her a lot of fun.

Queen Ye also got the news and was sitting in Kunning Palace enjoying herself.

She took Sun Weijie from the nurse's arms and said with a smile, "Jie'er, your father is about to return to Beijing in triumph. Are you happy?"

Sun Weijie seemed to understand, waving his fists and giggling, a string of silver threads flowing down from the corners of his mouth.

I mean, happy, so happy that I'm drooling.

Queen Ye smiled and kissed him.

Every time Xunxiang brought his son into the palace, the emperor would come to take a look at him in the evening. He did not come today. He and the prince discussed state affairs with several important ministers all night.

In August, the fragrant osmanthus is fragrant and the autumn breeze brings coolness.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the streets became lively at dawn, and people flocked to the streets where Pingnan's army was passing through to occupy the best seats.

Yesterday, the Pingnan Army was stationed in the southern suburbs of the capital. Today, Prince Tatsuki and Prince Ji, on behalf of the emperor, personally greeted them at the city gate as they entered the capital.

Sun Yumu was dressed in silver armor and walked in the front row with two other young and handsome generals. After a few rows of soldiers, the prince and King Jing accompanied Marshal Mi.

Then came several rows of soldiers, followed by a dozen prison vans. The people in the prison car were unkempt and expressionless.

Behind them were five thousand officers and soldiers.

Wherever the army went, there was a buzz of people and excitement, and flowers and hydrangeas were thrown around as if they were free.

Almost all the flowers and hydrangeas of the eldest girl and the daughter-in-law were thrown at Sun Yumu.

At this point, the Xun Consort era officially ended and the Sun Yumu era began.

Sun Yumu became the most beautiful man in the Li Dynasty.

Xunxiang, Mrs. Sun, and several female relatives from the third room were waiting anxiously in the main courtyard.

Today, even Mr. Sun Laohou was summoned to the Jinluan Hall, and together with the emperor, he accompanied some Pingnan army officers and soldiers to a royal banquet.

Queen Ye told Xun Xiang two days ago that Dali was going to set up a firearms camp and would appoint Sun Yumu as deputy commander.

The firearms camp is not in the capital, more than a hundred miles away from the capital, and I can't go home every day.

Xunxiang was a little reluctant to give up, but she couldn't delay her husband's future. He comes home once every ten days, and she can stay with him for a few days if she has nothing to do.

The plan of the Sun family ancestors is that the Sun family ancestors are good at water warfare, and they want Sun Yumu to be the next or next naval commander.

Naval warfare is dominated by firearms, and Sun Yumu's appointment in the firearms camp will be beneficial to him in the future.

At the beginning of the month, a young man who was guarding the south city gate rushed back to report, "Madam, princess, the army has entered the city. The prince is walking in the first row. He is the most handsome among all the soldiers."

His words amused several female relatives.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "There is a reward, two taels of silver."

At the beginning of noon, a boy who was waiting on Yinque Street came back to report, "The army is heading towards the palace. Many people said that today the streets are empty to see Sun Lang..."

Not to mention Mrs. Sun, Xun Xiang burst into laughter.

Mrs. Sun chuckled and said, "I'm not a big man, but I have a small mouth and I know how to talk."

The boy smiled and said, "I don't dare to lie. The prince is so majestic and handsome, just like the Erlang God in 'Havoc in Heaven'. The prince has the most flowers and hydrangeas thrown on him."

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Reward, five taels of silver."

The boy was beaming with joy.

Several people were reluctant to leave after lunch in the main courtyard, wondering when Sun Yumu would come back.

Sun Houye's eldest attendant came back to report, "Madam, please report to the princess. Your Majesty said that your Majesty will listen to Marshal Mi and the Crown Prince's report on Pingnan matters this afternoon. The Crown Prince will have dinner in the palace and will return at about xu House.”

Xunxiang and others from Sanfang went back to their respective courtyards.

Sun Weijie had already fallen asleep in the nurse's arms. When he returned to Ziyuan, he put him directly on the small bed in the west room.

A few days ago, Aunt Wei and Aunt Wang suggested that Brother Jie should be allowed to live in Xiaoquayuan when the Crown Prince is coming back.

Xunxiang didn't want to.

She was lost in the small courtyard.

It was impossible to lose Sun Weijie, but she already had a shadow.

It was agreed that if Sun Yumu was not at home, the child would stay on the small bed in the bedroom. If Yumu is at home, the child will sleep on the small bed in the west room.

Wait until he reaches three years old before moving to a cross-hospital home.

Sun Weijie is very good-looking, white and strong, with shiny hair. He slept with his little head tilted to one side, and the flesh on his fat face drooped downwards, making his little red mouth look more perky.

Xunxiang lowered her head and kissed him.

Xunxiang couldn't sleep and went to the study to read.

As night falls, Zhenhaihou Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, connecting the lights with the stars in the sky.

After dinner, Xunxiang and Mrs. Sun were chatting and laughing in the main courtyard.

At the end of Xu Shi, the woman from the outer courtyard came to report, "The old marquis, the marquis, and the prince have returned to the house. The prince has finished stepping over the brazier and went to the ancestral hall."

He must first go to the ancestral hall to kneel down and worship his ancestors.

The people in the room were even more joyful.

Half an hour later, the outside of the courtyard finally became lively.

The girl shouted, "The prince is back."

Little Brother Jie had just finished feeding. He was babbling and looking out the window with his big eyes.

Xun Xiang's eyes were hot, she picked up the child and said with a smile, "Daddy is back."

Brother Xiaojie yelled a few more times. He doesn't know what a father is, but he is happy when his mother is happy.

Mrs. Sun was already in tears.

Sun Yumu and Sun Houye walked into the house together.

Sun Yumu wore a silver helmet and armor. His skin tone was darker and he was thinner. Although he is still handsome, his temperament has changed.

Calm, tough, domineering... He was a heroic and cold guard before, and now he is a mighty and domineering general.

He came in and looked at Xun Xiang first, then walked to Madam Sun, knelt down and said, "Mother, my son has fulfilled his mission and defeated the rebels and is back."

Madam Sun had already stood up, hugged Sun Yumu and cried, "Mu'er, you are finally back. In the past year, mother has not eaten well or slept well, and she has been waiting anxiously..."

Xun Xiang and the maids and women in the room wiped their tears. Only Jie Ge'er stared at everyone in a daze, not knowing what happened.

Marquis Sun smiled and said, "Look at you, you can cry like this even for good things."

Madam Sun wiped her tears, looked at her son's face, and smiled, "Go see your wife and son."

Sun Yumu stood up and looked at Xun Xiang.

The young wife who has become a mother has not changed at all, she is still so bright and beautiful, with a smile like a flower.

This appearance overlaps with the beautiful figure in memory.

As long as he thought of her, even the cruelest and bloodiest scenes would be suppressed by this beautiful shadow, and his mood would calm down from extreme violence and panic...

He wanted to say a few words to Xun Xiang, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so his eyes slid to the chubby boy in Xun Xiang's arms.

He was staring at this strange uncle with wide eyes.

Sun Yumu walked over, "Xiangxiang, Jie'er."

Xun Xiang's eyes were misty, and she smiled, "Prince." She said to Sun Weijie in her arms, "This is Daddy."

Sun Yumu reached out to hold the child and put his mouth close to kiss him.

Sun Weijie was not shy, but this strange uncle was so scary that he was not used to kissing him right away. He held his face with his hand in disdain, tilted his little head, and pouted his mouth, as if he was about to cry.

Madam Sun laughed, "You are so serious, any child would be afraid."

Sun Yumu listened and smiled more deliberately.

The little guy still resisted his closeness.

Lord Sun said with a smile, "Yumu is tired all day, go back and rest." Seeing that his wife wanted to keep him, he said, "We'll talk tomorrow."

Madam Sun wanted to see if her son was injured, but after hearing what her husband said, she couldn't say anything more.

Sun Yumu held the child and returned to Zixia Courtyard with Xun Xiang.

The next day, the morning light was slightly revealed, and a few wisps of morning glow appeared in the eastern sky. Most people were still asleep, and only a few old women were busy in the courtyard.

Suddenly, two big eagles swooped down and landed in Zixia Courtyard. One spit out a Ganoderma lucidum from its big mouth, and the other spit the red apple in its big mouth on the ground, opened its mouth and howled "Gaga".

The surprised voices of Xun Xiang and Sun Yumu came from the small window.

"Fei Fei!"

"Shuang Shuang!"

Again, they said in unison, "You are back!"
