Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 425
Two days later.

The travel-worn group rushed back to Qiang City.

This northernmost ancient city has been repaired in a short period of time with the help of soldiers.

The ruins and potholes have been repaired one by one, and the white silk hanging for the martyrs has long been removed and replaced with brand new red lanterns.

Looking from the city gate along the main street, red lanterns formed a line, emitting dots of warm light in the haze.

Bai Xiuying was very happy to see her. She called to the people around her: "Sister, look, it looks very fresh!"

Bai Ming smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Jin immediately explained: "Sixth girl, this is the first New Year since the people ushered in peace, so it is natural to celebrate it well."

Bai Xiuying showed a bit of excitement: "I heard that the New Year in the border town is very grand, which is somewhat different from that in Yujing City."

Zhang Jin nodded: "Miss Six is ​​right. New Year is a big day in the border town. You can take this opportunity to experience the customs and customs here."

Bai Xiuying couldn't wait: "I'll go back to my residence first to see how they are preparing."

Seeing Bai Xiuying acting furious, Bai Mingwei quickly reminded: "Sixth sister, wait a little longer."

Normally, Liu Yao would have made a sarcastic comment, but today he was very abnormal and a little distracted.

Bai Mingwei ignored him and quickened his pace to follow Bai Xiuying.

Zhang Jin asked: "Your Highness is feeling unwell?"

Liu Yao replied angrily: "After only two days of driving, I can still be exhausted? I miss my father and emperor and my mother and concubine. In the past, I always performed my filial piety at the knees of my mother and concubine during festivals, but this year we are far apart."

Zhang Jin did not answer.

Compared to the soldiers who have been guarding the border for more than ten years, what is a difference of one year?
Many people's children were still babbling when they went to war. When they returned from the army, they had grandchildren.

Not being reunited once is just a short separation for the soldiers.

Liu Yao wilted his head and drooped his head, leading his horse towards his residence.

In fact, he not only missed his mother and concubine in the capital, but since he participated in the pension incident, his mood has been very heavy, and he has not felt better even after arriving in Qiangcheng.

Go back to your residence.

Two tables had been set up in the hall, but the dishes were not served.

Seeing Sister Bai Mingwei's return, Yu Jiao stood up immediately: "Master Feng knew that you were coming back today. He went to the kitchen early in the morning to work and prepared a lot of dishes. He was just waiting for you to come back and serve them."

Mr. Gongsun held his chopsticks and looked a little impatient: "You're back, why don't you go wash your hands and eat."

Ren's injury has almost healed, and now she no longer needs to stay in bed to recuperate. She was supported by Gao and Zheng and came forward: "Eldest girl, sixth girl, are back."

Bai Mingwei held Yu Jiao's hand, but his eyes fell on Mrs. Ren: "Sisters-in-law, we are back safely."

Xiao Chuanyi walked to Bai Mingwei, stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve: "Auntie."

Bai Ming patted Xiao Chuanyi's shoulder slightly: "Chuanyi."

Yang quickly brought two basins of hot water: "Come back from outside, your hands must be cold. Come over and soak in the hot water."

Bai Mingwei and Bai Xiuying took off their cold cloaks, and Yu Jiao took them and hung them on the shelf.

There were several pots of charcoal fire burning in the room, and the warmth filled the room. After taking off the cloak, it wasn't too cold.

The two of them quickly soaked their hands in hot water and drank the hot tea handed over by Yang. Their bodies quickly warmed up.

Xiao Chuanyi looked around, but saw no sign of Liu Yao. Feeling a little strange, he opened the door and went out to look.

Seeing Liu Yao walking towards this side with heavy steps and a dejected look, he raised his hands and saluted: "Your Highness."

Liu Yao raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Chuanyi, then took out a small cloth bag from the bottom of his sleeve and handed it over: "I heard that when adults go out, they will bring some gifts for little kids. This is what I brought for you." Xiao Chuanyi Open the bag and take out a rattle.

Yes, the rattle that children play with.

The relationship between the two has always been very delicate. They are competitors and close friends.

In the past, giving such a rattle would definitely be a mockery of Xiao Chuanyi's age.

However, at this moment, Liu Yao really saw Xiao Chuanyi's true nature as a child through his intelligence and precocity.

Seeing that Xiao Chuanyi was surrounded by pens, ink, paper and inkstones and only books, he thought that there should be some normal things around this child, so he borrowed money from Bai Xiuying and bought this gift.

Xiao Chuanyi looked startled, then hugged Liu Yao's thigh: "Thank you, Your Highness, Chuanyi likes it."

As a person who gets along day and night, Xiao Chuanyi has seen Liu Yao's transformation.

Naturally, Liu Yao's thoughts can also be felt from this rattle.

So, he liked this gift that he no longer needed.

Liu Yao was a little uncomfortable with the sudden move. He raised his leg and shook it, but in the end he did not throw Xiao Chuanyi away: "Don't do this! It's so tight."

As he spoke, he looked around and saw that no one noticed them.

He immediately bent down, took out another cloth bag from the bottom of his sleeve, and said mysteriously: "How can a child be without this? This is what I have prepared for you. Keep it well and I will teach you how to play with it."

As soon as Xiao Chuanyi opened a hole in the bag, Liu Yao immediately stopped him: "Don't let sir see it, otherwise he will definitely beat me."

Xiao Chuanyi showed a look of surprise: "Your Highness, why did you prepare such a dangerous thing for me?"

Liu Yao stretched out his hand to grab the bag: "Do you want it? I won't take it away!"

Xiao Chuanyi quickly stuffed the bag into his arms: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Liu Yao snorted disapprovingly: "It's just a broken slingshot. Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world."

Xiao Chuanyi just smiled.

Liu Yao thought he liked it very much and quickly told him: "There are many fun things, such as dice, shuttlecock..."

The door was suddenly opened, and Yu Jiao looked this way.

Liu Yao immediately stopped and shouted to Yu Jiao: "Cousin."

Yu Jiao frowned, but still saluted Liu Yao: "Your Highness, it's cold outside, please come in quickly."

As she said that, she looked at Xiao Chuanyi: "Why are your arms drumming? What did His Highness give you?"

Liu Yao suddenly felt something bad. He winked at Xiao Chuanyi repeatedly and lowered his voice and whispered:

"If your eldest aunt finds out, she will definitely make me bleed. I'm taking such a big risk to find happiness for you. Don't sell me out."

Xiao Chuanyi seemed to hear it, but also seemed not to hear it.

But he still raised the rattle and shook it: "Aunt Seven, His Highness brought a gift to Chuanyi."

Although Yu Jiao was suspicious, he felt that His Highness Ninth Prince would definitely not be able to give him anything good, and the one in Chuanyi's arms must be shady.

But when she saw the rattle in Chuanyi's hand, her eyes instantly softened.

She knew that before the expedition, little Chuanyi had sealed up all his toys. Now she could still see little Chuanyi holding a rattle in his hand. Even though Chuanyi had something inappropriate hidden in his arms, she allowed it.

Children should behave like children. This four-year-old child cannot be asked to live like an adult all the time.

So she smiled and said, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
