When he came out of the palace, Feng Duhu looked a little gloomy.

Some people in later generations said that Shu Han shone with the last remaining light of ideals and humanity in this era.

Only then did Feng Duhu fully understand what this sentence meant.

It seems to be praising Shu Han, but in fact it reveals a bloody fact:

In this era, human life is as cheap as grass.

Cao Wei massacred the city, and Sun Wu starved the people to death. There is no essential difference between the two.

The only people who can remain true to their ambitions and never forget their original aspirations are probably Liu Bei and his ministers.

"Zhongduhu?"

Seeing Feng Duhu blocking the entrance to the palace, he didn't say anything for a long time.

The captain of the personal guard called out tentatively, waking Feng Duhu out of his reverie.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go back home."

"Here."

There is a lovely wife, a beautiful concubine, a dog, and a beloved daughter in the house.

It can heal Feng Duhu's injured soul.

"grown ups!"

Seeing the guards of their own house escorting the Lord back to the house, the two people who had been waiting in front of the house gave a crisp cry.

The first one rushed out and ran towards Feng Duhu, who got off his horse.

Feng Duhu responded with "Hey", bent down, picked up both of them, and lifted her up.

They both giggled and danced.

The younger brothers who were following behind could only watch with envy in silence.

After playing affectionately with his beloved daughter for a while, he put down his hands and looked at his wives, concubines, and sons.

"Alang is back?"

"came back."

His eyes fell on the right lady's swollen belly.

"It's such a cold day, what are you doing out here? Be careful of catching a cold."

"Staying in the house all day long makes me feel a little bored. Going out for a walk makes me feel more comfortable."

The right lady is the youngest among the wives, and because she is pregnant, her temperament is somewhat changeable.

She pursed her lips unconsciously, realizing that it was not appropriate in front of her children, and quickly calmed down her expression.

Burning a heated kang in winter is indeed much more comfortable than before.

But at the same time, there is a lot more smoke from the fireworks, and it does feel a bit stuffy if you stay there for a long time.

Mrs. Zuo, on the other hand, was much more like a royal lady. She was seen shouting softly to all her children:

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you call the adults quickly?"

Ah Chong and others were excited, and they quickly saluted and shouted: "I have met you, sir."

The duck's voice in the voice-changing stage and the clear voice of a child blend together.

"Okay, okay!" Feng Duhu said with great comfort, "It's too cold outside. Let's take a walk and go home."

The anger during the northern tour and the depression felt in the palace disappeared in this moment.

Sure enough, a warm kang with your wife and children is the only cure in the world.

Leading his wife and children towards the house, Mrs. Zuo smiled and said:

"I also said that you couldn't come back to spend New Year's Day with your children, but I didn't expect that you could come back before the New Year."

Feng Duhu sighed: "This was indeed the plan, but who knew that the plan would change so quickly."

Although I don’t want to talk about these troublesome things, as the Central Protector, some things cannot be avoided after all.

The right lady walked slowly with a big belly, holding her waist, and was a little impatient when she heard this:

"The kids are here, why are you talking about this? I can see you look bad from a distance."

"It's finally a happy time for the family to be reunited. If you have anything to do, can't we wait until tonight?"

"Okay, okay, now you are the most delicate and the biggest."

Feng Duhu took the initiative to reach out to support Mrs. Right, and also put on a smile.

It's unavoidable, but there's nothing wrong with delaying it for one night.

After all, things in Hedong are no different than this night.

Moreover, the appointment with the State of Wu to send troops is in April next year. If anything happens, it will not be too late to discuss it after the New Year.

It was night, the masters of Zhongduhu Mansion, Zhendong General Mansion, and Shunde Jun Mansion gathered together.

Even Guan Hua, the wife of General Zhendong, held her child and sat down in her seat majestically.

When there are more people, it becomes lively.

Children love fun the most.

Especially today, when the adults return home and everyone has dinner together, there are not so many rules.

If you make some noise, you won't be reprimanded.

So they like it more.

Except Ah Chong.

Ah Chong, who will be twelve years old after the Chinese New Year, looked at the adult sitting on the main seat, then at the two aunts sitting on both sides of the adult, and Aunt Hua, who was eating with her head down.

Then look at the cheerful third brother Ah Shun and the fourth brother A Mo.

At such a young age, he imitated adults and sighed.

I always feel that my own home is different from what is described in the book, and it seems to be very different from other people's homes.

"Brother, do you want to eat?"

Ah Shun noticed that his brother was looking at him, and he raised a chicken leg very sensibly and asked.

"I won't eat, you can eat."

"Third brother, you can eat it yourself. I think I still have two chicken legs."

The eldest sister is so skilled and the second brother is so knowledgeable that A Mo admires them more.

But among all the brothers, with whom he has the best relationship, it is the third brother.

Because the third brother is not that powerful and his age is not too different.

The most important thing is that the third brother is rarely beaten by his mother.

The three brothers Amo, Abu and A'nan are all of the same age, almost six years old, and have already begun to enlighten.

All the children in the family, regardless of their concubines, receive the same education, which means that if they do not learn well, they will receive the same punishment.

The third brother, who could escape being beaten every time, was the envy of the three younger brothers to imitate.

Ah Chong picked up a chicken leg and put it over to Ah Shun, motioning Ah Shun to pass it to Ah Mo, and asked at the same time:

"Third brother, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"What?"

Ah Shun was a little confused at first, as if he didn't expect Brother Ah to ask this, and then he immediately reacted.

I saw him saying excitedly:

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be like an adult in the future!"

Ah Shun's eyes were shining, and he looked at the adult sitting at the top with admiration in his eyes.

Um?

Brother, is this not good for you?

Ah Chong looked at Ah Mo again:

"Where are you, fourth brother?"

"me too!"

A Mo followed in the footsteps of his third brother while chewing on the chicken legs.

Ah Chong's eyes were somewhat resentful.

You are all the same, what about me?

Seeing the children below talking and laughing, and the wives and concubines next to him smiling like flowers, Feng Duhu couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
