C373 Chatterbox

As Duan Yunfei thought, she shouted, "Giddy up!" She increased her speed and headed towards the Wu Mansion.

The speed of the horse became much faster, and in less than two hours, Duan Yunfei had already arrived at the entrance of Wu Mansion.

From a distance, Duan Yunfei could see the Wu Mansion standing in front of him. The vermilion wall tiles had already started to crack due to its age. As the sunlight shined upon them, they became extremely obvious.

Old General Wu stood at the door, his back a little hunched. He was wearing a black vest. He put on a black fur coat and kept his hands inside his sleeves as he kept looking into the distance. It was probably because the weather was too cold. Old General Wu's nose was red from the cold, but he still insisted on standing at the door and did not leave.

Seeing Old General Wu's appearance, Duan Yunfei's nose couldn't help but ache. She rode her horse and quickly walked in front of him, smiled at him, then jumped down from her horse. She bowed towards Old General Wu and respectfully said: "Grandfather, happy new year.

Old General Wu did not care about all this, and jokingly said to Duan Yunfei: "I thought it was you, Thirteenth Princess, who is it? If you meet me in the wrong, please forgive me! "

Without waiting for Old General Wu to finish speaking, Duan Yunfei walked over and grabbed her arm, pulled his sleeves, and said to him: "Grandfather, I know that you have been standing at the entrance all morning, specially coming here to wait for me."

Old General Wu did not reply, and looked at Duan Yunfei smilingly. Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore and reached out his hand to pat his forehead. He then said to her, "Alright, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Hearing Old General Wu's words, Duan Yunfei hurriedly nodded and followed him into the house.

Just as he walked into the courtyard, Duan Yunfei saw that Wu Shan's father also walked out from the study.

Duan Yunfei laughed, skipped over, and greeted Wu Shan's father with a smile. "Uncle, happy new year!"

He was in a daze for a bit, and only after Duan Yunfei pulled on his sleeve did he react, extended her hand out and touched Duan Yunfei's forehead, and smiled as she said to her: "Your grandfather had pestered you at home all day yesterday, and now you have finally come today. Now you can finally accompany your grandfather and have a good chat."

Duan Yunfei tightly pulled her uncle's sleeves, and joked around with him, but she was still unwilling to let go. Old General Wu stood under the roof and looked at Duan Yunfei who was pretending to be a scoundrel. He continuously reached out his hands to stroke his beard, then nodded with a smile.

Wu Shan's father had a reserved personality and normally did not speak much either. However, Duan Yunfei could tell that this uncle of hers really loved her. Every time she came to the Wu Mansion, this uncle would bring out the best in the family for Duan Yunfei to taste.

"Uncle, this year, Wu Shan is not in the manor. I believe all of you will miss him a lot as well." Every time Duan Yunfei saw her uncle, she couldn't help but feel guilty. If it wasn't for her insistence on recommending Wu Shan to the sect, Wu Shan probably wouldn't have followed the large army to the southwest to command the battle, nor would it be that on the day of the Ten Thousand House Lights, his own son would still be far from the border and unable to return.

Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Wu Shan's father didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out his hand and patted Duan Yunfei's shoulder, as if he was comforting her: "Yun Fei, look at what you're saying, it's also because Wu Shan is able to realize his own ambitions, that's why you recommended him to the emperor. It's also why he has this kind of opportunity to lead troops to the southwest.

"Even though Wu Shan is unable to return home now, it is his honor to be able to protect the national borders. There's nothing to regret about this." Duan Yunfei's uncle reached out her hand to touch her forehead, unwilling to let her think any further.

Duan Yunfei stood in the courtyard and talked with Wu Shan's father while Old General Wu stood under the roof, smiling slightly. He raised his head and looked towards the southwest. Right now, his favorite grandson was far away at the southwest border. He was commanding the army to go out and fight for the country. He was determined to protect his country's border.

Thinking of this, Old General Wu felt extremely gratified in his heart.

At this time, Yuwen Di was sitting in the center of the hall.

Eunuch Ming carried a bowl of ginseng soup and walked in. Seeing that the emperor was sitting on top of the Side of table, he hesitated for a moment before saying to him, "Your majesty, it's only the third year today, and you're already going to resume work."

Yuwen Di was truly a diligent and frugal emperor. As the emperor of the Jin Country for so many years, other than the incident where the Imperial Consort Duanshuo passed away many years ago, Yuwen Di was extremely heartbroken. No matter what else happened, he would always put national affairs first and would do his utmost to protect the land, the land and the century-old foundation of the Jin Country.

Hearing Eunuch Ming say that, Yuwen Di could not help but sigh, then laughed at him: "Today is only the third day, the court officials are still celebrating the new year, so we might as well take this opportunity to read more reports."

"The emperor has really worked hard!" Eunuch Ming placed the ginseng soup in front of Yuwen Di and sighed.

Just as Yuwen Di was about to resume construction, he suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look at Eunuch Ming. He smiled and asked: "I wonder where Little Thirteen went to play today, and where did she come to our place to talk?"

Eunuch Ming pondered for a moment, then continued to answer Yuwen Di, "Your Majesty, today is the third day of the new year, and at this time of the year, Thirteenth Princess will usually go to Wu Mansion to accompany Old General Wu, and this year will probably not be an exception."

Eunuch Ming looked out the window as he spoke. He then continued to speak to Yuwen Di, "According to the time, Thirteenth Princess should have arrived at Wu Mansion by now."

Yuwen Di thought for a moment, then nodded his head towards Eunuch Ming, and laughed out loud: "This year, when Wu Shan is not in his residence, Old General Wu should be extremely boring.

"That's right, Thirteenth Princess is an open-hearted person. With her accompanying Old General Wu, I presume that Old General Wu would also be very happy." Hearing Yuwen Di's words, Eunuch Ming could not help but laugh and nod towards him.
