However, it was said that Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan had been shopping in the market for a long time, and when they saw that the sky was gradually darkening, they turned around and returned.

When they returned to the general's house, the maidservant who had delivered the food came up to them.

Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan heard the words and walked all the way towards the dining hall.

When the two of them reached the door of the dining hall, they heard bursts of laughter from inside.

Wang Mang listened carefully and knew that this was Wang Hai and Xue Fengyi chatting freely.

Then he stepped through the door and entered the hall.

Xue Fengyi saw the two of them coming, and said with a smile: "Mang'er, Jingyan, where are you going to play today?" I don't know anything. All three of them are your cousins, cousins, and cousins. ”

"Back to my mother, when the child just went out, I saw my cousin. And my cousin also gave me a bag of high-quality sea cucumbers for Jingyan to repair the tire. Wang Mang replied.

"Oh? You've just met? Xue Fengyi said: "It's good to have seen it, I still remember when you were young." You are weak, Wang Hai, Wang Ping and Wang Si are always playing tricks on you. Your eldest brother can't look past it, so he often vents his anger at you. The three of them got angry with your brother, and then they came to me and cried.

Think about the events of that year, as if it were yesterday. In the blink of an eye, you're all that old. And your uncle and I are also old, and this is really a rush of time. ”

At this moment, Xue Fengyi was in a good mood, and talked about Wang Mang and Wang Hai when they were children.

Wang Mang heard the words, glanced at Wang Hai and the three of them, and knew that the three of them said a lot of sweet words, which made Xue Fengyi happy.

Wang Xianzhi was there, listening to Xue Fengyi talk about some things back then, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a smile.

This kind of warmth of a large family sitting together to eat and talk freely, Rao He is a decisive iron-blooded general, and at this moment, he can't help but feel a lot of warmth in his heart. put himself on the identity of an old man, watching the juniors play and laugh, and couldn't be happy.

When Wang Jingyan saw Wang Hai and the three of them, except for being a little embarrassed at first, she was not affected by anything. It seems that the slightly unpleasant thing that happened before does not exist at all.

Not only that, but she also occasionally interjected a sentence or two and said some private words with Wang Ping.

After a light meal, even Xue Fengyi has never liked to drink, but at this moment, she has drunk many glasses one after another.

In a flash, more than three hours passed.

Wang Jingyan kept maintaining a faint smile expression, and at this moment, she felt that her face seemed to be about to stiffen. So he found an excuse and left the seat with Wang Mang first.

Wang Xianzhi and Xue Fengyi didn't think much about it, they all thought that Wang Jingyan was pregnant, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.

After Wang Mang and the two left, Wang Xianzhi also let his three children talk to Xue Fengyi, and he also left the seat.

Wang Hai and the three of them saw that outsiders were leaving, and Xue Fengyi was also in a good mood and overjoyed.

Subsequently, Wang Ping and Wang Sheng, one of them were women, and the other was the youngest, and they came to Xue Fengyi and sat down on her side, leaning on both sides of her.

At this time, Wang Ping took the lead in speaking: "Auntie, I heard my father say what happened in Qingzhou, saying that the Wei family, the Huo family, the Sun family and other families joined forces to bully my cousin, and even sent many killers to assassinate my cousin.

When we heard the news, we wanted to immediately lead our troops to relieve our cousin. It's just that there are those princes around who are eyeing each other, and it's hard to leave, so they can't go in time, which causes my cousin and sister-in-law to suffer a lot of losses. This matter is our fault, and please punish the eldest mother. ”

Xue Fengyi smiled: "It's good that you have this heart, I don't blame you for this matter." At that time, your father also wanted to raise troops to rush to Qingzhou, but I dissuaded him. Ping'er, Sheng'er, your father is really right, why did you let you go to Haiwei County to suffer? I'll talk to him tomorrow and let you all come back and don't go again.

Especially Ping'er, what do you look like when you have a daughter's family, mixed in with that group of men? Military and political affairs are handled by your brothers and brothers, so you can't get too involved. This is also a fault of your father.

You're not young now, and your father hasn't found you a good family yet, which is another fault of his. In two years, won't your life's work be delayed? Now that I'm here, I'll take care of it for you. ”

"Auntie...."Wang Ping's face turned red all of a sudden, and she pulled a long tail note to express her dissatisfaction.

After pondering for a long time, she continued: "Auntie, having said that, this place was hard-earned by my uncle, cousin and father, so how can I ignore it just because I am a daughter?" I heard that my cousin was hindered by the border of the six counties of the major families and several princes, and planned to negotiate peace with them and cut off the two counties as a way of relief.

I thought it was a bit difficult to do this, and when I came from Haiwei City, the soldiers stationed there were quite complaining, and the people were full of resentment. Haiwei City is far away from here, and when the news reached there, it caused quite a commotion. You can imagine what kind of situation will be in the vicinity of this place.

Auntie, can you persuade your cousin to consider this matter again, so as not to cause a backlash. When the time comes, if you want to redeem it, I'm afraid it will be impossible. ”

Wang Hai saw her tell the matter, so he also spoke: "Auntie, Wang Ping's words are not bad. My father sent me to manage the city of Haiwei for several years, and I knew how important it was to gain or lose a city. Now my cousin wants to give up the two counties, which is indeed a bit reckless.

Once the military spirit is lost, it will never come again. There are already many generals who have expressed their dissatisfaction, and if we turn a blind eye, they will surely be resentful. Thus they will raise an army to do disobedient things, or they will simply break away and take refuge in others. ”

"Huh?"

Xue Fengyi was shocked when she heard the words of the two.

After being stunned, he looked at the two of them carefully.

In the end, he set his eyes on Wang Sheng, who didn't speak, and when he saw that he wanted to stop talking, he expected that he also meant the same.

In an instant, Xue Fengyi almost understood.

"Ping'er, Hai'er, Sheng'er, why don't I know your worries?" Xue Fengyi replied: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." If you blindly stick to it and don't know how to be flexible, then it will be difficult to have any way out in the future. Don't talk about Huo Jiawei's family, but talk about the four princes. I guess you all know his grudge against our royal family, right?

You know what your father and your uncle did back then. It can be said that the fourth prince can not kill the rest of our Wang family, but he will not let us go. One of his sons died at the hands of your eldest brother. As for your cousin, he also killed a lot of people from the Four Princes. We and him are basically incompatible.

Now that he and the Seventh Prince have joined forces, with the help of the Wei family and the Huo family, this situation is in crisis, if we don't show a little weakness and forbearance, we will blindly be strong, and it will be difficult to last long. In the front, there was a hook and a salary, and then Han Xin was humiliated by the crotch. Mang'er's proposal, although a little sinister, but in general, there are still some desirable ways. ”

"There's still something wrong with that!" Wang Ping said: "I think it's better for us to drag it out first, test their bottom line, and then watch its changes." ”

"Auntie, we have the support of the six counties, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops to deter, and the four princes and others are helpless against us. If we cede the two counties, they will think that we are weak, and they will be even more unscrupulous. Wang Sheng said.

Xue Fengyi naturally refused to agree, and continued to persuade and speak.

At the moment, between the four of them, you come and go, talk about each other in words, and know how powerful, but none of them can say that they win each other.

In the end, Xue Fengyi was afraid that if she continued to talk about it, it would affect her family relationship, so she just smiled and said: "I will consider this matter, I will not let Mang'er mess around, and I will not let your father's years of hard work go to waste." You don't have to be in a hurry, big things have to be three business after three business, and you can't say anything. It is not too early now, so go back first, so that you do not get tired. ”
