Step-room, she is soft and charming

Shang Zhiping suddenly felt at a loss and said quickly.

"Mother, did your son do something wrong? Don't..."

It took a lot of effort for her son to come out of the haze of the past, but Mrs. Liu would not let him continue to blame himself as before.

Immediately wiped away tears, explained.

"It's none of your business. Your father gave me that hairpin in the past. Now I see this again, so I just remembered the past. It's just a little sad. It's all over, it's over."

After finishing speaking, he took the hairpin from Shang Zhiping's hand.

After looking at it, he dragged Shang Zhiping to the front of the bronze mirror, and said with a smile.

"You can give mother a hairpin, mother likes it very much."

Shang Zhiping looked sideways at his mother, and after making sure that her joy was not faked, he found a place for her on the bun and put it on.

Although it was not suitable for Liu Shi's attire today, the silver hairpin was neither fancy nor dazzling, it was just so quiet and had a special charm.

The mother and son looked at each other, and many of their sorrows gradually faded away with the anticipation of the day.

In this way, peaceful days passed moment by moment.

The General's Mansion ushered in New Year's Eve two days later.

This is the first New Year's Eve that Shang Ji and Du Jingyi spend in the General's Mansion, so naturally everyone from top to bottom takes it seriously.

Dressed in red color, sprinkled and swept spotlessly.

Housekeeper He had arranged for the scattering of copper plates and rice porridge outside.

Whether they were shopping or going out, they all returned to the mansion before the New Year's Eve dinner.

A long strip of firecrackers was set up, even more powerful than the ones on the day of housewarming.

Seeing that everyone was present, he began to seal the door.

Following the crackling sound, everyone in the general's mansion was smiling.

The old year is eliminated, and the new year arrives.

Everything is heading in a better direction.

In the flower hall, there were also a large table of people sitting neatly today.

In the past, when I was in the Duke's Mansion, there were family banquets prepared for every festive season.

But the banquet was always lively and not on point, the population was prosperous, but everyone had their own calculations, so they didn't eat sincerely.

But today, no one sitting at the table is an outsider.

So Shang Ji was very happy, he held the wine glass and celebrated the reunion with everyone.

Everyone is dressed festively, either red or purple, and it looks more and more lively.

Mrs. Gu smiled from side to side, and then sighed.

"It's a pity that your eldest aunt and second aunt have to stay in Jinling City to visit relatives and friends. Otherwise, if they came together, our family would be reunited."

It is said that they are a family, but most of the people sitting at the table are female relatives, and there are only three men, Shang Ji, Shang Zhiping and Xing Zhao.

But with the child in Du Jingyi's womb, it would allow Mrs. Gu to see the future, otherwise, it would be desolate.

After hearing what the old man said, the fourth aunt also said with a smile.

"When I came here, my sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law asked me to toast you a few more glasses during the New Year's Eve dinner, and even join in their excitement. Anyway, the days are still long, and there will always be a time to get together."

As she spoke, she picked up a bowl and gurgled down it.

Seeing this, Shang Ji and Xing Zhao had no choice but to have a drink with them.

The wine is good, but the stamina is not enough.The fourth aunt drank like drinking water, and had no reaction at all, but Xing Zhao and Shang Ji felt a little guilty.

It's just that according to Shang Ji's temperament, he wouldn't open his mouth.

So Xing Zhao always came out to speak. He knew how much his fourth aunt drank, so he spoke whenever she wanted to beg for mercy.

"Fourth aunt, let's drink from a wine cup. Even if you call all the brothers in the guards, you may not be able to drink it. It's a rare reunion festival, so don't let my cousin Shaoyu and I get drunk. , can you?"

Seeing this, the fourth aunt burst out laughing.

She has regained a lot of her former hearty and heroic demeanor, and let the people present understand what it means to not give up to a woman.

"The brat is waiting for me here! Okay, just drink less today, let you two brothers go, drink as much as you like."

So, she signaled to the maid serving beside her to replace the sea bowl in front of her with a wine cup.

When the little cup entered her mouth, it was as comfortable as drinking honey water, which made everyone admire and envy.

Sister-in-law Liu said with a rare joke.

"Fourth aunt has a lot of alcohol, if I can have [-]% of your drinking capacity, I won't be able to down three glasses of wine."

"Hey, what is this little wine? Lieutenant generals of the Cezhou Army like to drink strong wine. Drinking it is like being stabbed with a knife. Although it tastes spicy, it is very refreshing. I have been drunk before, but this one It’s just a waste of time to come to the three altars again.”

I saw the fourth aunt shaking her hands while talking.

It can be seen that she "dislikes" the fine wine in Suian City.

But the spirits in the army are not available anywhere else, but the general's mansion must have them.

Luo Yuan also came to the table today, sitting next to Xing Zhao. Seeing this, he raised his wine glass and said respectfully to his fourth aunt.

"The Fourth Madam is right! The spirits in Cezhou are delicious! I happen to have a pot here with me. How about a toast to you?"

"Oh? You still have spirits from Cezhou?"

"You can only endure the cold and snowy weather by drinking strong alcohol, so eventually you will develop a habit and you will always get some."

Hearing this, the fourth aunt immediately nodded, with a rare excitement in her eyes, she said to Luo Yuan.

"Fill me up!"

"Yes, Fourth Madam!"

Luo Yuan got up, and pulled a wine pouch from the back of his waist. As soon as he opened the lid, the aroma of the strong wine came to his nostrils.

The others couldn't bear it, so they naturally covered their face, mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

However, the fourth aunt smelled it as if everyone had returned to Cezhou, so she quickly took it and filled a glass.

The two looked at each other and drank three cups.

When he put down his wine glass, his eyes were full of nostalgia and memories of the past in Countermeasure State.

"It's been several years, and I haven't had such a spicy liquor, refreshing!"

"The fourth lady likes to drink. I will go to the Huben Army camp to bring you some jars some other day. Ni Yang took back the recipe for making wine, so I brewed a lot of wine. Every time I celebrate, , they will take it out and drink dozens of jars."

There are still many overlaps between the Huben Army and the former Gu Family Army.

In the battle of Jin Ce that year, all the Gu family members died in battle, and the Gu family army also suffered heavy losses, basically [-]% of them were wiped out.

Afterwards, the rest of the Gu family army scattered in all directions.

After Shang Ji recovered from his injuries and returned to Cezhou, he called them back to the Huben army one after another.

Therefore, [-] to [-]% of the people are old people from Gu Jiajun.

The fourth aunt hadn't asked about military affairs since she returned to Jinling City with the coffin, so she didn't know much about it.
