At the gate guesthouse, two rows of soldiers stood solemnly, torches burning brightly in niches, and comfortable carriages and cleanly groomed horses waited.

Zhou Wuxie waited silently on the side.

Soon, figures began to sway in the guesthouse, and a tall and vigorous young man walked out. He had shiny black hair tied up in a bun, and wore a clean and close-fitting lavender round-necked robe. The ribbons on his collar fluttered as he walked. Behind him followed a young girl in a goose yellow long skirt.

It was Qin Xiuyuan and his daughter who had just washed their faces and changed their clothes.

Qin Xiuyuan held his daughter's arm and helped her to the carriage. He then straddled the horse and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. We'll talk more tomorrow."

"Boss, take Miss home quickly. The family misses you so much."

The people on horseback nodded slightly, and the horses and the carriage quickly entered the inner city in a long line of moving torches.

After watching the group leave, Zheng Da stretched himself and said, "Mission accomplished! Brother, do you want to go have a drink together and relax? We've been exhausted lately. Now that the boss is back, we can relax a bit."

Zhou Wuxie naturally accepted it with pleasure. "General Zheng is not only a man of both civil and military talents, but his thorough and meticulous work tonight truly impressed me. I will definitely ask the General to teach me more."

"Haha!" Zheng Da patted Zhou Wuxie's shoulder. "This arrangement of washing up tonight is the general's first step before entering the city and returning home. He must have cleaned up before entering the inner courtyard." He pulled the man onto the horse, "Those of us who don't clean up are all stinky men."

"Stinky man," Zhou Wuxie shook his head. "Really? I've been working so hard outside, and now after washing up, the woman at home thought I was just back from a trip."

"Haha! When we got home and went to the backyard, he was acting like the boss, not the boss. The kids rushed up to him one by one, hanging on him and refusing to get down. When we got out, they clung to his thighs and cried loudly."

They are really a bunch of little ancestors.

"That sounds like something a father like me would envy. My children at home were disciplined, always moving like the wind and sitting like pine trees, their every word and action well-behaved. Now I think they've lost that intimacy and liveliness."

Zheng Da is also close to his children. "We are all rough and tumble people. We have been away from home for a long time, so when we come home, we appreciate this unconventionality. But, my family is all stupid, not as smart as the old family."

Zhou Wuxie also laughed, "In the eyes of parents, most children are superior to those from other families."

"No way, I was just itching to do it! With students like Miss Mingxi and Master Yunxiao, Brother Xie Xin and Brother Tang can walk around Chang'an City with impunity."

"And that beautiful dancer." Zheng Da leaned over and reminded them, "Now the fourth young lady refuses to learn to speak or write, but only wants to learn from this dancer. It's incredible!"

There is really endless wealth and glory!

Miss Xiao Si is the apple of the eye of the boss and his wife's eyes, the treasure they hold in their mouths and in their hands.

They, the brothers, were deeply envious of the beauty that the Third Prince had sent out as a honey trap. Such wealth and prosperity had been showered upon her head. Not only had she not been taken into the backyard by the eldest prince, but she was also treated with courtesy and addressed as a teacher, the two young ladies' mentor!

Zhou Wuxie gossiped quietly, "I heard that General Ashina..."

Zheng Da waved his hand, "No one can help. Madam is protecting us. These big, rough guys, no matter how big their arms and legs are, can't compare to half a finger of Madam. Besides, she doesn't want a bunch of rough guys like us." After saying that, he added a warm reminder, "Men, please control your lust. Now the woman has someone to support her."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zheng Da touched his chin and said, "That's good. We were born in poverty. If we hadn't met the right person one day, our daughter would have been at the mercy of others."

He himself also despised the greed of some people in his backyard. Fortunately, the warriors took justice into their own hands and solved the problem once and for all.

The General's Mansion.

The carriage had barely stopped in front of the door when Mingxi, who was inside, lifted the curtain with one hand, jumped out of the carriage in one stride, and headed straight into the mansion.

Uncle Tang, who came hurriedly, saw the figure in front of him stop for a moment and said, "Hello, Grandpa Tang!" Before he could finish his words, the voice faded away and the figure disappeared.

"Uncle Tang, congratulations on the birth of your son."

Qin Xiuyuan, who had dismounted, gave a jade pendant as a gift, which was meant to be a gift for a boy, hoping that he would have the virtue of jade.

"Master, you don't know how much Madam has done me a great favor. I can choose any of the treasures in the storehouse. I am so overwhelmed with gifts!"

Qin Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said familiarly, "I am not as generous as Wangshu. But please accept it, Master."

Old Tang was not polite. "This old slave and Chun Yang are really shameless. They accept all kinds of rewards. Hurry up and go into the yard. We got the news during the day. Although Madam didn't say it, everyone can see that she is waiting for you."

"Okay." Qin Xiuyuan quickened his pace. Soon, someone rushed out from the corridor, leaving the lantern-carrying servant far behind. A dark figure rushed out and shouted loudly to wake the sleepyhead, "Dad!"

The next moment, he was hanging directly on his father. Qin Xiuyuan took a half step back with his right foot to slow down the momentum of his older son, "Yun Xiao, good brother!"

Affirming Yun Xiao's contribution as an older brother in taking care of his younger siblings, he said, "Dad has chosen a fine horse for you and will take you horse racing in a few days."

Qin Yunxiao and Rumu, who were hugging their father tightly like a koala, kept their heads down and did not say a word. Qin Xiuyuan looked at them and saw that their eyes were indeed filled with tears, but they just held back their tears.

Today was a day of upheaval. My daughter was as quick as a rabbit, while my son was crying silently. It is the silent tears that are the most heartbreaking.

"Mother, Mingxi misses you, misses you, misses you! Wuuwuwu..."

The closer we got to the main courtyard, the clearer the crying became.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

When Xiaolu brought back Xiaosan and Xiaosi, who were still extremely excited before going to bed, the whole family burst into tears. Qin Xiuyuan's clothes were soaked, and his heroic heart was wet with tears, including those of his son, daughter, wife, and himself.

When Xiaoqing, who was serving the dishes, went out of the door, she couldn't help but shed tears of joy at the reunion.

The lights are bright, and the family is enjoying the joy.

Wangshu cried heartily, then complained of a headache. When the man returned to the room with the baby, who had finally fallen asleep, Xiaoqing quickly took some fragrant mint leaves and placed them under her nose. The fresh scent was refreshing, but crying was also physically demanding, and for some reason, she felt a rumbling hunger. "I'm starving from crying."

Someone also sent snacks.

"Madam was so focused on the general just now that she forgot she was hungry while watching him eat."

"No way. Mingxi came back and rushed over to me. I cried so hard that I was starving." It had nothing to do with the general who came back to claim the child.

"My wife says one thing and means another."

Wangshu avoided answering and said, "Send someone to check nearby and remind mother-in-law."

Wang lived next door. Because Qin Xiuyuan's return date was uncertain, he didn't let her wait during the day, so Wang didn't know he was coming back.

Qin Xiuyuan naturally had to go there when he came back.

"The general gave instructions outside the door to see the old lady again tomorrow."

Well, Wang wakes up early at night, but feels sleepy when it gets dark.
