The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Outside the yard, Tang Jingshan heard the noise in the yard, smiled, and then strode away.

Regardless of whether she is of the Tang family bloodline.

No matter what the results are later, at least recognizing her is the right decision.

The Tang family hasn't been so popular in many years.

Right now, I feel like I have hope for the future again.

……

Ever since being adopted as the daughter of the Tang family, Song Yuntang has never been idle.

Taking Hao Ting to run back and forth between Xu Mansion and Tang Mansion.

Stay here for a few days, then stay there for a few days.

Every time she went there and back, the servants and her parents were busy running around, so she didn't need to do anything herself. She just had to get on and off the carriage.

Under Song Yuntang's care, Mrs. Tang's health became better and better, and her mood was not as depressed as before.

The servants in the Tang Mansion saw this and also understood the situation.

The merchant ship that Xu Qingye and his friends joined would send a lot of rare things to their home every once in a while, all of which were shipped from overseas.

In addition to bird's nests, there are also mirrors, clocks, fruit and vegetable seeds, and spices.

Whenever she got rare items, she would never forget to send some to the Tang Mansion, and sometimes she would also bring some to her second brother and sister-in-law.

Among these things, the one she treasured most was the musket.

This is something you can use to protect yourself.

As soon as she received it, she asked the secret guards trained in the mansion to deliver it to the western border personally.

Xu Qingye is now on the battlefield. Although he has some strength, he has no kung fu. It is much safer to have a musket to protect himself.

In addition to purchasing goods from overseas and selling them in Daxia, merchant ships would also transport food and fabrics from Daxia to sell. Song Yuntang conveyed his intention to cooperate with the merchant ships and wanted to promote Yujun Pavilion's products as well.

In the second month after Xu Qingye left, her first batch of goods was taken to the other side of the ocean by merchant ships.

A month and a half after Xu Qingye left, news of the great victory in the western border arrived from the capital.

Afterwards, he and King Xuanlang went to the Western Regions as envoys to sign a truce treaty. It was early November when they returned to the capital with the army.

At that time, winter had already arrived in the capital.

The sun was shining brightly on the day they returned, and all the officials gathered at the city gate to welcome the soldiers returning from the victorious battle.

The people all looked excited.

Fighting against the enemy for nearly two years with almost half the number of troops is an unprecedented achievement.

The Western Army entered from the city gate. In the middle of the team, in addition to the carriages carrying envoys from the two countries, there was also a luxurious carriage with the emblem of the Western royal family.

The carriage was surrounded by gauze curtains and bells, and as the carriage moved forward, the bells made clear and pleasant sounds.

"I heard that the Western Regions not only signed a truce treaty, but also sent a princess along with the troops. The person sitting in the middle carriage should be the princess of the Western Regions, right?"

"I just don't know what this princess from the Western Regions looks like. The princes are still young, and Your Majesty has no brothers of the right age. I don't know if he will directly take her into the harem."

"The princess of the Western Regions enters the harem, so she should at least be one of the four concubines, right?"

"That's for sure. Otherwise, how could she be worthy of her status as a princess?" The tone changed. "But then again, she might marry into a royal family as the principal wife of a general or a minister."

Although the concubines in the palace have high positions, they are just concubines after all.

……

Inside the carriage, Xu Qingye opened the curtain and looked at the man riding a horse on the side.

"Wencheng, have you seen your sister-in-law?"

After three years in the military camp, the once heartless boy has lost his childishness and looks much more mature and steady.

He was tall and straight, with strong features. When he looked around, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"It seems my sister-in-law didn't come."

However, Xu Qingye did not show the same disappointment as him, but instead felt relieved.

"It's good that he didn't come."

Xu Wencheng raised his eyebrows.

"Why?"

Did the eldest brother have a conflict with his sister-in-law before he left?

The next moment, a man's voice came from the carriage, "Before I left, your sister-in-law had been pregnant for more than a month, and it should be more than four months now. There are many people on the street right now. If she really came, I would be worried."

Xu Wencheng nodded upon hearing this.

"There are too many people around, and my sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's really best if she doesn't come."

In the crowd, Song Jinsheng saw the team in front of him going away, turned around and ran towards a teahouse.

When Song Yuntang saw him coming, he smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"Is the scenery downstairs different from that upstairs?"

Song Jinsheng sat down opposite Song Yuntang and drank the tea with a smile.

"The view isn't as good as upstairs, but it's busier than upstairs. I just took a closer look, and I don't seem to see my brother-in-law or your brother-in-law."

Hao Ting, who was eating snacks silently beside him, also looked at Song Yuntang.

"Mother, are Second Uncle and Father really back?"

Song Yuntang smiled and patted his head, "Of course he's back. Your second uncle has been following your father's carriage."

Although I haven't seen him for three years, he was wearing a helmet again and looked much taller.

There were so many carriages passing by just now, but only one of them was accompanied by a horse-riding soldier. The armor on his body was custom-made by a craftsman she had personally asked three years ago.

The only difference is that there are a lot of sword scratches on it.

It can be seen that the battlefield in the west is dangerous.

Hao Ting's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Mom, let's go home and see Dad and Second Uncle."

Song Yuntang was not in a hurry.

"Your father and second uncle have just returned to the capital. They must have gone to the palace to report on their work and reward the soldiers. They might even hold a celebration banquet. By the time they get home, it will probably be dark."

Hao Ting had a bitter face.

"Then when can I see Daddy?"

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Hao Ting should go to bed early tonight so that you can see it tomorrow morning."

The child's face was filled with longing.

"Great! I'm going to see Daddy and Second Uncle soon!"

Seeing that the crowd on the street outside had dispersed, Song Yuntang put on his veil hat and stood up, holding Hao Ting's hand.

"Come on, mother will take you for a stroll in the street. We'll go back home after we've had enough fun."

It’s the age when he likes to have fun. When he heard that they were going to play on the street, Haoting’s little face was full of excitement.

"Mom, can I have candied haws today?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "Of course."

He asked again tentatively.

"Where are the sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

Song Yuntang thought about it and decided that he didn’t eat it every day anyway.

"also."

Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, Hao Ting frowned and began to ask for more. "Then I also want to eat sugar melon and candied fruit. Can you buy them for me, mother?"

Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows and reached out to pinch his chubby little face.

"If I give you color, you'll open a dyeing factory, right? You don't want your teeth anymore after eating so much candy?"

Xiao Haoting shrank his neck, his big eyes full of innocence.

"Hao Ting doesn't want anything more, just candied haws and sugar-roasted chestnuts."
