Although the people of the Jishan camp have to wait for the big boss of Wu to come back, they will be entrusted in person, and the big boss will go to select and bring it over, so that they can decide the situation of retention, and several female dependents of the Wuyi camp will live in Yizhou City at this time, and they are not a few steps away from the Thorn Shi Mansion, and they can be summoned at any time.

But considering that the Wuyi Camp and the Jishan Camp are the two camps that have successively taken refuge in Rong Sleeping Crane, and both take the "battalion" as the name, although they are still polite at this time, and there is no situation of stumbling each other, but after a long time, it is difficult not to have competition: on the closeness must be the Wuyi Battalion, which is the place where Rong Sleeping Crane was born, the most authentic lineage, although limited to the scale of the tortoiseshell island, the number is not large, but all of them are elite, and they are also the most trusted by the sleeping crane;

Even compared with the size of the Western Xinjiang Army, the number of Jishan Battalion is very small, but it is more decent than the Wuyi Battalion.

Therefore, in order to put an end to the discord between the two battalions to the greatest extent, Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao discussed briefly and decided: "After the head of Wu finds someone to come over, let the people from the Wuyi camp come to the Assassin Mansion together." ”

The matter was discussed here, and the chrysanthemum, Tongyue and others at the bottom finally couldn't bear to remind: "County King, Niangniang: Aren't we going to have a banquet?"

"What kind of banquet?" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, and didn't wait for Rong Sleeping Crane to answer, he had already said, "Mi Zhen has been busy all this time, and she lacks skills, where does she get this kung fu? As for me, I was not idle, but now that I am pregnant, it will be even more difficult to work hard, right? On my aunt's side, the reason why I want to disturb her Yaxing, in the final analysis, is that I am afraid that no one around me will mention it? If I invite her to hold a banquet after I come back, I will be busy all day long, where will I have the time to accompany me? This is better to let my aunt have fun outside! After all, if my aunt goes back to Nanfeng County, she may not be able to have such leisure!"

"But when I was in the Sheng family before, Mrs. was happy, but she set up a flowing water banquet for seven days and seven nights!" Ju Li and Tongyue hurriedly argued, "At this time, the mother is happy, and she is still the first child, how can she not even set up a banquet?"

Because Rong Sleeping Crane was also in front of him, the maids didn't dare to say something: With the identity of Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife, as well as Rong Sleeping Crane's love and connivance with Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiqiao was pregnant at this time, and he didn't even have a feast to celebrate, I didn't know, I thought that Rong Sleeping Crane's so-called fear of guilt was just a pretext, but in fact, he didn't care about this wife, and he didn't even attach much importance to the children with his grandchildren!

At this moment, Ju Li said, "Although several masters are busy, there are a few stewards in the house. Two of the stewards, when they were in the Sheng family in the past, had been following Mrs. to do things, and had organized dozens of banquets, big and small, to mention dozens of banquets! Anyway, the county king and Niangniang had the highest status in Yizhou, even if there was anything inconsiderate at the banquet, no one would not have muttered for a long time, and it was almost ...... But there must be a feast. ”

"Let's do it!" Rong Sleeping Crane saw that Sheng Weiqiao seemed to want to object, waved his hand to let the chrysanthemum fence retreat, and said to his wife, "First, this is human nature, although we don't care about the world's opinions, but it's just a sentence to the people below, why do you have to brush off the kindness of a group of henchmen?"

"Second, I have come to Yizhou these days, and recently I am planning to meet with some people, especially the Jishan Battalion and the middle-level and middle-level officers of the Western Xinjiang Army. Just by celebrating that you have a reason to be happy, give them the next round of posts, and you can also get closer to the relationship. ”

Although Sheng Weiqiao's mood was very wrong since she confirmed that she was happy, when it came to business, she also became serious and said: "Do you want to send another batch of baggage to the army to work in the army?" It is said that Ni Jidao is very good at eating empty salaries, and even if the Western Xinjiang Army has reached the point of less than half of them, they still can't receive full salaries, and many of them are not even satisfied with half of them. At this time, it is already freezing and snowing, and the western Xinjiang will become colder and colder, and the life of poor families will naturally become more and more difficult. But it's a good opportunity to buy people's hearts!"

"Sure enough, the obedient girl is distressed about Brother Sleep!" Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and scratched the tip of her nose, "Just do what you say!"

So the two discussed the specific materials of the labor army, drafted a charter, and came out of the lamp, at this time Sheng Wei Qiao Youxi news, has spread throughout the whole house, today's cook on duty, personally brought the food in and kowtowed to congratulate, although they knew that he was deliberately pleased, the couple was still happy to reward a pair of silver collars.

The people in the house changed their ways to congratulate the master and ask for rewards and not to say, just talking about the outside, after learning about this, Ni Jidao was overjoyed, and Ni Jidao even immediately walked to the back hall and asked his wife Zhang to pack up the congratulatory gifts, so that he could go to the Assassin's Mansion to congratulate.

Seeing this, Zhang was very puzzled and said: "The old man has never liked the prince of Mizhen and the princess of the county, and he often hoped in private that the couple would not end well. He also said that the mother and children born to the princess of that county were not abundant, and she couldn't be born. Now that she is pregnant before the new year, why is the old man smiling?"

"What do you know?" Ni Jidao stroked his beard and said with a slight hook of the corners of his mouth, "This Mizhen couple is a pair of scourges!

He sneered a few times when he said this, and Fang continued, "Normally, this Sheng family is happy, and it is also a happy event for their couple! But now, this huge place in Western Xinjiang, but the armament is lax, which is where Da Mu's weakness lies! Sheng is originally a weak character in the boudoir, even if there is nothing to do, it is still inconvenient to move, and there is still joy in the body at this time, once things change, and see if she can go?!"

"She is a woman, even if she can't leave, she may not have much impact on the overall situation. ”

"But Mizhen has a deep relationship with her, and she doesn't even care about admitting her fear in front of others!"

"Looking back, she has three long and two short, is Mizhen going or not?"

"If you don't leave, you will give her a funeral; if you go, not to mention the reputation of the person who abandoned his wife and children, just say that the Sheng family is the pearl of the three families in Nanfeng County, he does this, and if he offends the three families at once, it is rumored that the grandson of the Sheng family has recently married the daughter of the Luo family in Jiangnan!"

"The Luo family is no less than the Gao family!"

"The reason why Mi Zhen was able to show off his might in the Western Xinjiang and not take us people in his eyes, in the final analysis, wasn't it because these four families stood behind him and provided him with a steady stream of financial support?"

"Otherwise, the little appropriation that the imperial court gave to Western Xinjiang, to say something unpleasant, it would be like a flower child!"

"No matter how loyal the Jishan battalion is, if the Western Frontier Army separates from us again, it will have to eat first, right?"

"I can't afford to eat, and I have to throw my head and spill blood for him...... Who does he think he is?!"

"The reason why those four families were generous to him was because of the Sheng family. ”

"Without the Sheng family's hub, how can the relationship between the four families and Mizhen not be unfamiliar?"

"And Mi Zhen and Gao Mi are said to be very discordant...... At that time, whether it is King Gaomi or the Meng family, they will benefit those four families, and they are afraid that they will not be able to draw salaries from the bottom of the Mizhen cauldron?!"

Ni Jidao said, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "At that time, let's see how he is ruined!"

When Zhang Shi heard this, he was worried, and said, "Master, where is the wild goose shadow still in front of Old Madam Feng? Since the princess of Mizhen County and the princess of the same county are in such danger at this time, how can you continue to ask her to stay in the Assassin's Mansion? We have to get her back quickly!"

"No!" Although Ni Jidao is quite fond of Ni Yanying's clever and interesting daughter, she just likes it, otherwise she would not let Ni Yanying live in the Thorn History Mansion for so long, and at this moment, after listening to his wife's words, he was about to agree casually, when he suddenly thought of a little and said, "Yan Ying finally got in touch with the old lady Feng of Nanfeng County, and the Sheng family was pregnant at this time, so he called her back, can she go back to the Thorn History Mansion in the future?" In this way, how can we not suspect that we specifically called her back and told her to plot against the Sheng family?"

Zhang Shi was surprised: "Master, after we take Yanying back, of course we will find her a husband's house and arrange for her to leave the pavilion! Why do you continue to ask her to go to the Assassin Mansion to live for a long time? Originally, the Assassin Mansion was an elder who was a guest of Old Madam Feng, and it was not very suitable to ask a girl like Yanying who had not left the pavilion to live for a long time. At this time, the princess of the county is happy, and the Assassin Mansion will definitely invite Old Madam Feng back to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible!"

"In this way, if Yan Ying doesn't take the initiative to bring up the matter of coming back, and continues to stay there to get in the way, how can he not be suspicious inside and out?"

"You must know that two days ago, when I went out to socialize, I heard someone mention that many people suspected that we let Yanying live in the Thorn Mansion, but it was ...... It's the idea of beating the king of Mizhen!"

"What's wrong with this idea?" Ni Jidao said, "Anyway, the county king is not bad in appearance, and he is not worthy of the wild goose!"

Zhang didn't expect her husband to have the heart to push the boat along the river, and she was stunned for a moment, before she said: "But the county princess already has a concubine! And the old man also said that the princess of the county is not small, and she is not easy to bully! Even if Yanying is the concubine of the old man's side, how can she replace the princess of the county?!"

"Doesn't the county king still have a quota for side concubines?" Ni Jidao asked rhetorically, "The side concubines will also be recorded in the royal jade plate, but they are not the kind of concubines who can be beaten and scolded and sold at will!"

"But the princess of the county is not a person who can tolerate people!" Zhang Shi hurriedly objected, "The lord forgot? Two days ago, that person personally led people to Dai's mansion to kill her, and she pointed at several of you and scolded her, and even drew a knife to threaten! This is still her own frame-up of the blame! Not to mention the slightest bit of weakness in making such a fuss!"

"If this is added to the backyard of the county king, she must not be eaten alive?!"

"Especially the old lady Feng is her aunt, even if Yanying makes this old lady a righteous daughter, there is no blood relationship, how much affection can she save after only a few days of hard work?"

"Looking back, the old lady must still be towards the princess of the county!"

"At that time, as a stepmother, the shadow of the goose will be pitted, this ...... If one is not good, the wild goose shadow will be ruined!"

Looking at Zhang's worried appearance, Ni Jidao frowned and said: "Alas, you really have long hair and short knowledge! You only think that the princess of the county is arrogant, why don't you want to think about our daughter's cleverness? Just that kind of woman who is used to being big, she looks difficult to deal with, but in fact she has no heart at all! Not to mention the noble status of the county king, even if you have a request for the Sheng family at this time, you have to tolerate her in every way, but men, who would like a tigress?"

"Especially when the king of the county is young, the so-called young and vigorous, how can he stand being talked about relying on the Yue family and being afraid of the inside?"

"Our Yanying is the most gentle and considerate girl, and it's okay if she doesn't have a chance to be alone with the county king;

Zhang said: "What's the use of catching it? As for the arrogance and ferocity of the princess of the county, I don't think she can't do the thing of bringing her henchmen to kill Yanying! She is a royal wife, and she is pregnant, and her mother's family is not no one, and the county king still needs her family background very much at this time...... Even if we kill Yanying alive, we can still ask her to kill people to pay for her life?"

He also said, "Take 10,000 steps back, if you really ask her to kill someone to pay for her life, how can Yanying come back?

Ni Jidao frowned: "Yanying himself didn't say anything! You, who are mothers, are worried about this and that, do you want her to stay out of the cabinet for the rest of her life, and stay with you all day long, so that you can rest assured? When the children are older, you should listen to their own thoughts more, and you don't want to think about how smart you are, you usually have to ask Yanying for ideas when you meet something, but now you want to make the decision for her? What a joke!"

Zhang Shi was angry and anxious by what he said, and said: "A serious girl, who is willing to be a little girl?! Even if it is a side concubine, in the final analysis, it is not to be pressed by the concubine! Yanying has always been filial and sensible, and she has shared worries for you and me over the years, because of this, how can you bear to use this child's sensible and considerate thoughts, suggesting that she will follow your mind and go to the king of Mizhen County?!!!

Saying this, she suddenly thought of something and felt strange, "Wait! Didn't you say that the princess of the county is happy at this time, and the king of Mizhen is not good, but she is ruined?! In this case, why do you still want Yanying to do something for him? !

Just be alert, "What the hell are you thinking?!"

…… The dispute between the Ni family and the couple did not say anything, but said that in the Assassin Mansion, although Sheng Weiqiao knew that there was a happy queen, he was worried and troubled for a while, but after Rong Sleeping Crane's efforts and the discussion of serious matters, by the evening, the atmosphere between the husband and wife had finally returned to harmony.

At this time, the two of them remembered that they forgot to write a letter to Chang'an and Nanfeng County to report the good news.

"I just said I wanted to write it, why did I forget it?" At this moment, the two of them were already lying on the couch, Sheng Weiqiao complained, "It's all you, and I don't know if I remember it!"

Rong Sleeping Crane touched her head helplessly, and said, "Blame me, blame me, blame me...... It's nothing, anyway, the western Xinjiang is far away, and when the letter was received there, it was at least ten days and half a month. ”

He also said, "Tomorrow morning, let's go to the study together to write a letter!"

Sheng Weiqiao said: "Tomorrow morning, then you go to the study alone to write a letter!"

She only got up at three poles in the sun, okay?

"Then it's afternoon!" Rong Sleeping Crane also realized this, and hurriedly changed his words, "When the time comes, we will write one each!"

Sheng Weiqiao was satisfied: "You remember it! Don't forget it!"

The next morning...... Ah no, it's noon, the couple went to the study with a smile in the congratulations of the subordinates and the staff, frolicked and laid out the apricot blossom paper, studied the ink, and was about to put down the pen, but at this time, the people at the bottom first presented a heavy letter from home, saying that it was written by Princess Gaomi.

At this time, it is not far from the New Year's Pass, and there is still a month, which is considered a non-year and non-festival day. The princess suddenly wrote a letter, and the couple only thought that she missed Rong Sleeping Crane, and they were not very worried about opening the letter, Sheng Weiqiao was still saying to her husband: "You can write a reply to the mother, remember to write something about the mother, which will make her happy." ”

I didn't want to let the sleeping crane look at the ten lines, and after reading the first page of the family letter, his expression was a little gloomy, and he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Good girl, something happened at sea!"

After a pause, he said, "The prince is being sent back to Chang'an overnight!"
