Her son-in-law had left for the military camp early, and Mother Ji had barely slept the entire night. She waited until her son-in-law, whose face was as calm as ever, emerged from the main room. Then she went to look at the dolls, feeling somewhat relieved. Seeing the dolls so soft and adorable, their movements becoming increasingly agile, she beamed, "Great! They're just as good, not only in appearance, but also in movement!"

Wanting sat aside and said, "As for twins, they have a tacit understanding in the womb."

The little boy she brought over, Xiaowu, was three years old and had a bald head. He tried to touch the dolls in the playpen several times, but Ji's mother stopped him again and again, saying, "Don't touch them. Your cousins ​​are too young."

You can watch, but my daughter is not allowed to kiss, touch or hug the baby at will. When it comes to raising the baby, I have the final say from beginning to end.

After being stopped several times, Xiaoqing carried the pair of dolls from the couch back to the inside of the bed, far away and out of reach.

"Xiao Wu, don't touch me. If you do, slap my palm."

The more he was refused, the more he wanted. Seeing that he was about to get closer to the huge and exquisite step-out bed, Wanting grabbed the man's hand and hit him directly. Unexpectedly, the little bald man sat down on the ground and started to act like a broom with his legs.

Mother Ji was so frightened that her eyebrows jumped and she exclaimed that it was unbelievable. While her daughter had not yet returned from Yun Xiaomingxi's school for a spot check on her homework, she quickly grabbed Wanting and said, "Come sit with me." Without waiting for anyone to react, she carried the crying little bald head in both hands and walked out of the main room.

After leaving the main courtyard, he hurriedly explained to his niece, "Your cousin gets irritable when she hears loud noises. The old doctor said her qi and blood are weak and she can't handle the stimulation. Yun Xiao got punished a few times for his loud voice. He was dragged onto a horse by his own father and his skin was broken!"

Xiaowu was still rolling around in the yard, making dust fly, and yelling like he was sick, drowning out Ji's mother's voice. Ji's mother looked at Wanting and quickly squatted down to coax her, promising her a delicious meal before she would get up. Lele and Yunxiao had both experienced this scene before, and the scene was still fresh in their memory. "Oh, if Shushu sees this, I'm going to hit her!"

Li Wanting: ...She had lived with her cousin for a while and knew that her aunt was genuinely worried, "Alas!" She couldn't bear to do it.

In the afternoon, the aunt and nephew watched the brother and sister change into coarse clothes and move the books, account books, calligraphy and paintings from the study out to dry little by little. They had not even finished moving even the tip of the iceberg, as one went to the martial arts hall and the other to the dance hall to attend their respective classes, and then put the items back after class... Since they were items from the large study, no one was allowed to touch them without permission, and Chun Yang sighed with heartache.

Upon inquiry, it was found that the punishment the brother and sister received was to hang all the paper materials in the study room to dry, and those who knelt in the yard and became more and more clear-headed would be fined for half a year, and if they committed the offense again, they would be punished more severely.

The general went on a long journey, and the mistress, who had recovered from childbirth, began to go in and out again, and the servants in the mansion became more cautious.

On the hundredth day, Wangshu set up a banquet with three tables and simply invited those close to him, including Ji Shou, Li Fugui, the heads of several major trading companies, General Zhang San, several deputy generals assigned by Qin Xiuyuan, and Xie Xin and Lan Die, who were the family teachers. Wang brought Eleven from the manor, and Ji's father, mother and Tang Bo hosted the banquet on their behalf.

A pair of stuffed babies, fully fed with milk and wearing red clothes and pants, were lying in two high-legged wooden carts. Their feet made the cloth mats beneath them bang bang. After a while, they turned over and looked up at the men and women surrounding them, showing a toothless smile, and couldn't help drooling from the smell of milk from time to time.

The people around them looked at them with curiosity. They were not afraid of strangers or unfamiliar environments. They lay down and raised their heads to look at the beads on people's clothes, and then at people's moving mouths. They were very curious and made everyone laugh.

"These eyes, these eyebrows, this nose are like a general."

"The skin color is the most similar, it's so white and glowing, it brightens the eyes!"

"From now on, it will be the turn of these two little guys to hang on the general's arms, haha!"

"In two years, bring it to the camp!"

"Wrong! Wrong! If the general won't let go, the kid won't have to walk, let alone run!"

"Oh, I don't want to let go even if I am in your arms, it's rare!"

Everyone chatted in a flurry, their curiosity growing. When the dishes were all served, no one was willing to sit down. Wangshu, who was sitting at the side, had his child pushed back before he finally took a seat. He took the seat of honor, with Ji Shou on his left, Liang Ju to his left, Zhang San to his right, and Xie Xin to his right...

According to the rules, Wangshu, as the host, had to say a few words before the banquet. As soon as she stood up, everyone around her stood up in unison. Wangshu smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down. "I'm short, so you all sit down so I can recognize everyone."

"Haha!" Several people laughed out loud, and when they saw Zhang San and Ji Shou sit down at the same time, they sat down as well.

Ji's father was the second host, sitting at the same table with the lieutenants and several heads of businesses. Ji's mother and Wang sat at the table with the women and children. Wang looked up at her daughter-in-law, who was standing alone in the main hall with a smile on her face. She had a wig braided into a bun like clouds, adorned with a jade hairpin with a pair of oriental pearls dangling from it. She wore a light purple, slightly loose double-wrapped silk gown, fastened with a belt made of intersecting pearl strings. The pearl tails were matched with jade step-inhibiting belts, and the rings and pendants jingled as she walked.

Graceful, confident and relaxed.

Then came the calm and composed voice of a woman, "Today, Wangshu is celebrating the hundredth day of our son and daughter's birthday. I invite all of you, my mentors and friends, to come and have a gathering. You have all known me and the general for many years, and our hearts are filled with silence, so there's no need to elaborate. I've prepared some tea, wine, and food, and I hope you all enjoy it. Please raise your glasses and let's begin the feast!"

Kou Dan raised her slender finger high in the air, and everyone in the hall stood up instantly. The soldiers spoke loudly and moved vigorously, drinking a cup of wine in one gulp. Wang stood up with the others, drank a cup of plum wine, and sat down with the others. There were beef, mutton, pork, chicken, duck and other vegetables on the table, and the aroma was so delicious that it made people salivate.

At this moment, she suddenly missed her eldest son who had gone through life and death far away. She found that he had always led the troops in the charge for so many years. Victory or defeat was a matter of hairs and millimeters, and he had always been carrying the burden forward alone. The only one she could entrust behind him was this woman. She had to bear the children, take care of the business and household affairs, and bear everything behind him when her husband went out. The honor and disgrace of the two of them were tied to one person.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was in a daze and didn't move her chopsticks, Ji's mother-in-law reminded her softly, "Mother-in-law, is the food not salty enough to your liking?"

She came back to her senses, shook her head, and answered truthfully, "I was just thinking about it too far away."

Mother Ji helped someone with some braised pork belly and said, "My son-in-law wanted to stay here for the hundred days, but he's really needed over there. He has a heavy burden on his shoulders."

In the past, Wang Shi would have felt that she, as a biological mother, was not as well-liked as her son's mother-in-law. But now, seeing them up close, she was shocked to find that the in-laws she had invited to meet had both their black hair dyed white, and Ji Wenshu had even half his hair white, looking very old...

Time is unforgiving, and everyone is getting old. For a while, I felt that Ji Wenshu was busy with his official duties, and his mother-in-law was helping to take care of the baby. The two of them had no sons, so they couldn't plan anything. They could only focus on doing something for their daughter and son-in-law...
