Wei Changying's birthday is May 21, although she is pregnant and doesn't want to toss, but in order to give Shen Shuyan and others the opportunity to practice, she still allocated money for them to prepare.

When the day came, Su Yuli, Su Yufei, Shen Zangning, Song Zaishui, Shen Shujing, Duanmu Xinmiao and others were invited to congratulate.

Now, except for Duanmu Xinmiao, this generation has dragged their children and daughters.

So on this day, the backyard of the Shen Mansion couldn't help but be extraordinarily lively.

Wei Changying asked the Huang family to help look at the point: "Especially near the pond, more people will be dispatched, if you see the past, there are no three or five people to accompany you, don't ask them to approach." "Although there are many children, they are all very delicate, and there is no room for mistakes.

Shen Shuyan hurriedly said, "Auntie, I just asked someone to do this." ”

"Yan'er is much more careful than before." Shen Zangning smiled and said, "It's a big girl." ”

"People who are about to get out of the cabinet are always different." Su Yuli held the frozen cheese in her hand, and Shen Shuyan, who was busy with a leisurely sentence, blushed suddenly, stomped her feet and said, "Aunt Su is really bad, today is the birthday of the third aunt, what are you staring at me?" ”

After saying this, as soon as she raised her shawl and turned around, she pushed the Jiyi people, who were urging in other places, to serve her—everyone looked at her with smiles, and the Jiyi people were greatly alerted, and poured them a round of wine, and then excused themselves to go down to see other things...... I've been gone for most of the day, and I don't know if I'll be back.

Su Yufei said to Su Yuli: "Big sister, look at you, you have embarrassed Yan'er well, and now even Yiren is so scared by you that she doesn't dare to stay!" ”

"Did you tell me to be blue-faced and fanged?" Su Yuli smiled and said, "It's just that I thought that Yan'er set a wedding date two days ago and was happy for her, so I just made a joke." ”

Shen Shujing pursed her lips and smiled: "A girl of Yan'er's age, who doesn't immediately hide back in the house when she hears the word 'husband'?" Cousin, you also directly said that she was out of the cabinet, how can she stand again? ”

Song Zaishui smiled leisurely: "None of you see the intention of the big sister? ”

Even Wei Changying asked curiously: "What is the intention?" ”

"Where does the big sister want to shame Yan'er away? It was obvious that Yan Er had been serving us diligently for a long time, and even Cousin Wei refused to let her go down to rest several times, feeling distressed, and afraid of persuading her directly, she refused to listen. Song Zaishui shook the fan lightly and said with a smile, "That's why I deliberately mentioned Yan'er's marriage, don't Yan'er go back to the house to be shy, isn't it okay to rest?" ”

Everyone suddenly praised Su Yuli for being careful and considerate.

Wei Changying sighed with emotion: "I coaxed Yan'er several times in vain, but I couldn't tell this kid to go down, but the eldest cousin has a way." ”

Su Yuli said with a smile: "The fifth brother and sister are lifting me, I am actually just ridiculing Yan'er." "Who doesn't know who she is usually? Even if you ridicule the juniors, the topic of speech is also measured, and you will not deliberately say that the juniors will leave - saying this at this moment is nothing more than humility.

However, Su Yufei was not polite to his cousin, and said with a smile: "Okay! That's what you said! I'll tell Yan'er in a while, her eldest cousin is too bad, how can she be one-tenth of the third cousin? ”

"How old do you want to sue, and you have to sue your niece?" Su Yuli laughed at her.

Su Yufei said: "Hey, I can't say that, I just went to comfort Yan'er, how can I complain?" ”

The sisters exchanged a few words, Shen Zangning put his hands on his cheeks, lay on the several, looked at Su Yufei and sighed: "Third cousin, you are still so jumpy, just like when we were young." ”

"Are you old?" Su Yufei blinked his eyes and said in surprise, "Will this start to reminisce about the past?" ”

Everyone laughed when they said these two words, Su Yuli couldn't help but touch her face, and sighed: "Although we can't say that we are old, compared to a girl as big as Yan'er, we are not young after all." ”

"It's my birthday today, is my eldest cousin's words reminding me to be a year older?" Wei Changying peeled off a loquat, handed it to Su Yuli, and said with a smile, "I haven't smashed the field like this again." ”

Su Yuli laughed and hurriedly made amends to her - Duanmu Xinmiao, who had been concentrating on eating loquat lychees, suddenly said, "Sister Su, don't eat loquats." As she spoke, she took away the loquat from her hand that she hadn't eaten yet, and said, "I look at your complexion, it's better not to eat this recently." ”

She had been quiet, and suddenly such a sentence came, and everyone who was originally chatting easily became nervous, Su Yufei just said that she was going to Shen Shuyan to tell Su Yuli about it, but she didn't have the heart to see her cousin's excitement, and hurriedly pulled Duanmu Xinmiao and asked, "What's wrong with her, big sister?!" ”

Duanmu Xinmiao looked at the peeled loquat in his hand for a moment - Wei Changying had to order someone to check where today's time was beaten and whether it had been tampered with, but this guy suddenly lowered his head, ate the loquat cleanly, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I have long found out that this loquat is the biggest and the sweetest today!" ”

"......" At this time, if you don't know that you have been deceived by Duanmu Xinmiao, Wei Changying and others have also passed so many years in vain! Wei Changying raised his hand, looking like he couldn't fall down when he wanted to beat him, and said hatefully: "If I wasn't pregnant, I would have to beat you!" Is there such a fool of you?! ”

Su Yuli and Su Yufei were also relatively speechless, and said after a long time: "Sister Duanmu, if you want loquats, I'll peel them for you, why scare people?" ”

"This one is different." Duanmu Xinmiao said solemnly: "Everyone knows that Senior Sister Su, you have a good temperament and are shrewd - so if you want loquat from your hand, you can't show my ability!" It's my ability to deceive loquat from you! ”

"You are so capable, are you afraid of being beaten?!" Shen Zangning rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white fist, and said intimidatingly!

Wei Changying and Song Zaishui both shook their heads: "You are getting more and more nonsense!" ”

"Your sons and daughters are around your knees, so naturally you must put up the shelf of your elders." Duanmu Xinmiao smiled and dodged Shen Zangning's fist a few times, and Shen Zangning was also pretentious, and withdrew his hand after a few hits.

Duanmu Xinmiao took the latter's freshly peeled lychee from Song Zaishui in an upright manner, and said after eating, "I'm a person, and my nephew doesn't want me to worry about it, so you don't need to pay attention to words and deeds-there is my eldest sister who raised me as a daughter, how can you expect me to be as stable as you?" ”

Hearing her say this, everyone was silent: if other people said this, everyone would have to comfort her, but Duanmu Xinmiao's expression was calm, and she couldn't see the sadness of guarding the door, and her temperament was not inconsiderate, in case she didn't feel pitiful and comforted her, but made her angry.

So Wei Changying chuckled and diverted the topic: "Miss Duanmu really spoiled you!" By the way, this year's lychee is sweeter than last year's! It's just a little bit less......"

Song Zaishui and the others understood, and they were busy discussing lychees.

Before the topic of lychee was finished, a subordinate of the Shen Mansion hurriedly came with the servants of the Ning Palace, and said in a sweaty voice: "The king is about to set off, please return to the palace as soon as possible, and the king will explain the family affairs!" ”

"Let's go?!" Shen Shujing was stunned, and Wei Changying and the others also felt confused: "King Ning set off? Where is he going? ”

The servant of King Ning's Mansion had a bitter face and said, "Back to the queen and a few ladies, this matter is ...... The little one doesn't know if he can say it now, and he begs the queen to take the prince back to the house as soon as possible! The king's side is leaving today! ”

Wei Changying frowned and said to Shen Shujing: "Since that's the case, then you go back first!" ”

After Shen Shujing took Mo Xuanwen away, although there was still a small half of the dishes that didn't come up, everyone had no intention of continuing to enjoy the banquet - it was thanks to Su Yuli that she teased Shen Shuyan and made Ji Yiren jealous and didn't dare to stay, otherwise the two girls must be very disappointed when they saw that the banquet they had carefully prepared was treated so hastily.

"After the royal conquest, Mo Binwei stayed in Beijing because he had already been crowned king, no longer needed to seek military merits, and he was deeply trusted by the saints." It was Song Zaishui who spoke first, and she said lightly, "Now that he wants to make a move, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter?" ”

Wei Changying sighed, she knew that Song Zaishui and the others were because they considered the identity of the master, so they left the words to themselves: "I'm afraid that it is the war in the southwest, and Dayong has suffered a loss." ”

After a pause, she said, "I'm afraid I've suffered a big loss!" ”

"That's a lot of fun." Duanmu Xinmiao turned the wine cup and said lazily, "The royal drive is almost the whole country to send troops to the southwest, not to mention those soldiers who want to be crowned kings and want to go crazy!" In this way, you can suffer so much that you need to summon Mo Binwei over? ”

"Although the subordinates of King Ning's Mansion didn't dare to say the reason, King Ning suddenly left Beijing, and no one would notice." Su Yuli pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe I'll know what's going on in a few days - although the four kings of the southwest have formed an alliance, they have never been unified after all, and they always have their own thoughts." Even if such an opponent wins by chance for a while, I don't think it will be able to continue...... I'm afraid it's due to the competition of various families. ”

When it came to the issue of competing for merit, everyone's faces became delicate.

This expedition to the southwest, the Shen family did not go to the sect to complain about illness and injury. But Duanmu Wuwu, Gu Naizheng, and Su Yuwu have all gone......

"People like ours, they all have their own soldiers and secret guards to protect each other desperately, even if the southwest is really defeated and the Yongjun army is defeated and retreated, I think the most is the loss of soldiers." Wei Changying noticed that they were beginning to worry about their relatives in the army, and hurriedly comforted, "Otherwise, Mo Binwei is going to leave Beijing, why would he send someone to openly invite Jing'er back and explain the matter before leaving?" must have left quietly and didn't tell people - it can be seen that the southwest side is not afraid to let people know about Mo Binwei's departure from Beijing, isn't it? ”

"But let's hope so." Su Yufei thought of her husband, her heart was heavy, and she couldn't get out, and sighed.

Wei Changying didn't say anything about fighting for merit - because if it was really a defeat in the war this time, it would definitely be the main reason. Otherwise, with the comparison between the Yong army and the southwestern armies, it is impossible for either the soldiers or the generals to be defeated, let alone defeated to the point where they need to call Mo Binwei all the way to save the scene.

This is even more worrying than a normal defeat - in a normal defeat, when the situation is not right, the guards will persuade and forcibly take away important generals.

But if you want to fight for merit, important generals are the competitors who need to be killed first!
