As soon as the documents of the Ministry of War were written, the news of Wei Lai's promotion soon spread among the Dingbei Army. Although she is still only leading the black-armored cavalry in the Dingbei Army, there is no big change for the time being, but the promotion is a happy event, but it can't be ignored.

He Lin knew that Wei Lai didn't seem to be very happy about the promotion, but he didn't dig into the reason, and the next day he led a group of people to Wei Lai's camp and asked her to have a drink. On the surface, she said that she wanted to celebrate, and in private she helped Wei Lai adjust her mood, but in fact, it was just that this group of people was having a wild time and wanted to find an opportunity to go out of the camp to drink again.

Wei Lai doesn't care about this, colleagues for many years, she won't be stingy when she invites a drink. What's more, she didn't resign as an official, and she couldn't go home for a while, she was indeed quite depressed, and it didn't seem bad to go out and have fun with this group of people. immediately agreed, and took the initiative to ask Wei Yan for leave.

The whole thing was unexpectedly smooth, and Wei Yan agreed without hesitation after listening to Wei Lai's words. It wasn't even like Wei Lai thought that they wouldn't be able to leave the camp until the evening after the military affairs were dealt with - the marshal waved his hand and directly granted them a full day's vacation.

When he came out of Wei Yan's place, Wei Lai was still a little dizzy. She always felt that Marshal Wei's overly cordial attitude in the past two days was very inappropriate, as if she was calculating something all the time. The smile was like, like an old fox with some bad idea......

"Hey, Xiao Wei, what's wrong, did the marshal agree?" Before Wei Lai could think about it, He Lin didn't know where he came from. It can be seen that he should have been waiting for news outside here for a long time.

Being interrupted by He Lin, Wei Lai also put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, nodded and said, "The marshal is right." Go and see, and if everyone is okay, change your clothes now and go to the camp gate. ”

This answer didn't seem to surprise He Lin - Wei Lai herself didn't feel anything special, but in fact, Wei Yan had always been good to her - so when he heard Wei Lai's words, He Lin immediately smiled: "Don't worry, everyone is ready." Go back to the camp and change your clothes, and we'll be waiting for you outside the camp gate. ”

After saying this, He Lin turned his head and ran away, looking impatient.

Wei Lai shook his head and smiled, didn't say anything, just went back to the camp to change into civilian clothes for going out, and brought enough silver taels. When she Shi Shiran came to the gate of the barracks, she looked up and saw He Lin leading four or five people to wait outside.

There weren't many people called by He Lin today, far less than the last time he visited the lake. However, in comparison, the relationship between these people and Wei Lai is closer, and the official positions are not too different from Wei Lai, most of them are generals of four or five grades, and they will get along with a little less restrained.

Among all of them, He Lin is always the most active one, and as soon as he saw Wei Lai appear, he jumped and ran over: "Xiao Wei, you are so slow, we have been waiting for you here for a long time......"

"You won't be punished with three bowls of wine in your next sentence, will you?" Before He Lin finished speaking, Wei Lai glanced at him, and the usual smile on his face seemed to have a hint of a smile rather than a smile.

He Lin was immediately choked when he heard this, and probably remembered the embarrassment of the other party when Lawei came to swim in the lake, and said with a smile: "Where can it." We can come out today thanks to your blessings, and what are you punishing for drinking? ”

After the joke was over, the group did not delay anything, left the barracks with laughter, and went straight to the famous drunken fairy building in the capital.

*****************************************************************

In the golden autumn of August, the osmanthus flowers are fragrant.

After experiencing the sweltering heat of July, the rainstorm in early August seemed to be a dividing line, and after that, there was no more stuffiness, and the weather was cool day by day. People who have been bored at home for a long time have finally ushered in a good time to travel and play.

He Zhi has received a lot of invitations in the past two days, mostly flower viewing banquets, poetry competitions and the like. Although she carries the reputation of "Kefu", after all, she is the only daughter of the Shangshu family, not to mention that she also had many close friends in the boudoir when she was young, but for the sake of her identity, those young ladies and ladies in Beijing will not forget her. What's more, she has already been famous, and it will not be abrupt to invite her to the party.

Of course, He Zhi has never been interested in attending such gatherings. Not to mention that she is too lazy to deal with the hypocrisy of these people, even those overt and secret glances, and the whispers that can be heard by chance, are enough to make people unhappy.

Xi Qiu has not been by He Zhi's side for a day or two, and she has long been accustomed to her own young lady's response to these invitations, but this time after hearing He Zhi's words of rejection, she did not obediently take the post and retreat, but smiled: "Miss, other posts can be rejected, but this one, I'm afraid you can't push it off." ”

He Zhi was originally reading a book, and when she saw Xi Qiu bring a few invitations over, she refused without reading them, but she didn't expect Xi Qiu to say this. At that moment, he was also a little interested, put down the book and said: "Which one can't be shirked, you can show it to me." ”

When Xi Qiu heard this, he handed over the top invitation with a smile. Then after a while, she also saw her young lady's rare gaffe.

He Zhi just glanced at the invitation after taking it, then stood up suddenly, and couldn't help but smile with some surprise on her face: "Yuqing is back?!" When did she come back, why didn't she send a message sooner. ”

Every day, He Zhi always looks like a lady, and rarely has such a gaffe. When Xi Qiu saw it, he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't forget to explain: "Miss, don't worry, the little guy who came to deliver the invitation said that Princess Qing also returned to Beijing two days ago." I took care of the affairs of the house first, and then went back to my parents' house to take a look, and I sent this invitation today, which is fast enough. ”

He Zhiben also complained casually, and didn't say anything more when she heard it. But when I looked down at the content of the invitation, I couldn't help but smile: "This girl, she hasn't been able to change her impatience when she becomes a parent, and she is still so hot." I only sent the invitation in the morning, so I made an appointment to go out at noon, and I was not afraid that I would not be able to go if I happened to have something. ”

"I can't go anywhere, Princess Qing knows more about you, and she knows that you won't go out to socialize at will." Xi Qiu smiled, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window after speaking, and said: "Miss, it's not too early, I'll wait for you to change your clothes and makeup first, lest you really can't catch up when you get it, it's not good to let Princess Qing wait for a long time." ”

Feng Yuqing is He Zhi's close friend in the true sense of the word, and the two grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is extraordinary. Even if Feng Yuqing later married King Qing and became Princess Qing, and since then she has been away from the fiefdom, the relationship between the two has never faded. He Zhi may not go to other people's invitations, but she has never shirked Feng Yuqing's invitation, so Xi Qiu is so determined.

Sure enough, He Zhi threw down the book she had read brilliantly before without any hesitation, turned around and walked out of the study.

Half an hour later, a small sedan chair hurriedly left Hefu.
