Coming out of Wei Liang's shady room, the moon and stars were already thin, and most of the general's mansion had well-trained personal soldiers coming and going, and Bai Guo walked on the slightly dark path, listening to the sound of personal soldiers patrolling, he didn't feel scary.He thought it was not good for him to toss and turn at night, but he didn't expect that he would spend a lot of energy during the day, and sleepiness would follow after washing, and he would fall into a dream after lying on the bed.

Early the next morning, before the master of the general's mansion woke up, the stewards of the mansion began to get busy today.

The Wei family had guarded the border for more than ten years, and it was the first time they held a banquet in the mansion after they returned to Beijing and received meritorious service.Although it is only the birthday of the general's nephew, it is not as important as the year of the weak crown, but the people in Beijing always look at the wind direction, knowing that General Wei himself loves the two sons and nephews, so they all prepared the etiquette and just stayed. After the time of day, he was going to visit the door to congratulate the cousin of the general's mansion on his birthday.

Although Wei Liangyin told Bai Guo that the birthday banquet would be held in the evening, many people came to visit with congratulatory gifts since early in the morning, and the servants who were not close to each other were sent here, and the Wei family arranged these servants in a courtyard Please have tea and rice, and if there are dignitaries who come, they will welcome them to another room.

Wei Liangyin stayed up until midnight yesterday in order to copy the remaining family rules from his ancestors.He was still thinking about today's events in his heart, and he fell asleep until he was in a daze, so he got up and stared at the two dark circles under his eyes, and went to the ginkgo room.

Bai Guo wakes up early in the morning, and the servants of the house specially made new clothes for him, so that Xiao Shou Xing can wear them extra vigorously.The style of the general's mansion is sassy, ​​and most of the servants in the mansion have come back from the border guards. They are used to doing things in a neat way outside, but they don't like the gorgeous fat in the gold and silver nests in the capital.

Ginkgo also doesn't like to paint on her face, she always feels that when painted on her face, she looks pale like a ghost, and then turns red like a monkey's butt.Seeing that others didn't have to be urged, he couldn't help but quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yo, is this done?"

As soon as Wei Liangyin stepped into the door, she saw that an elderly nanny in the house had combed Bai Guo's hair into a refreshing bun, and only a jade hairpin tied her hair up, showing the delicate, white and slender neck of a young man, looking sassy It looks great again.

Bai Guo was surrounded by maids and mothers in the general's mansion for a long time, when she saw Wei Liangyin entered the door, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Cousin is here."

The nurse next to her saw her, and stopped Bai Guo with a smile, but she said with a bit of pettiness in her voice: "Master Biao, move slowly, I know you don't like this old slave, and the slaves will fiddle around with you, but there are still people here. The piece of Pisces jade pendant is not worn properly for you, so you feel sorry for the old slaves."

Bai Guo blushed: "Nurse, I'm not... you, please put it on for me."

Wei Liangyin knew that he was thin-skinned, so he didn't laugh at him, but went to the side and took an orange from the fruit plate, peeled it and ate it.

Nunnies and maids are caring people, even a jade pendant is carefully worn by Bai Guo. They got the general's order, and they use the best jewelry items in the library on Bai Guo, which are expensive and not expensive. If it is broken, or the tie is not good enough to fall, that is a great sin.

The oranges Wei Liangyin ate were too sour and sweet, so he peeled them and threw them aside, so he took the other half to tease the ginkgo.

"It's sweet, try it?"

Bai Guo believed his evil, and when he opened his mouth, he was stuffed with a full mouthful. After biting down, his cheeks became sour and changed, and the originally exquisite facial features were suddenly joined together, which made people laugh.

Wei Liangyin laughed out of embarrassment, just when Wei Xizhou brought the steward into the yard, the father did not spare his adopted son, slapped his son on the shoulder, squinted his eyes and asked: "Is it fun to bully my cousin?"

Wei Liangyin's laughter got stuck, he touched his sore back from being patted, and reluctantly called out: "Father, my son is a twin! You still have to take pity on him, right?"

Wei Xizhou snorted coldly: "Just you, a monkey?"

Bai Guo swallowed the orange in her mouth, and the servant girl brought him warm water to relieve his soreness. Seeing that the father and son were fighting again, she hurriedly said: "Uncle, cousin, he, he is joking with me."

Wei Xizhou then said: "He has been in the army since he was a child, learning from those old fried dough sticks who are good but not bad. He doesn't know what to do. If I don't tell him well, he might go to the sky."

Wei Liangyin rubbed his nose and muttered, "It's not that exaggerated."

Wei Xizhou glared at him again, Wei Liangyin was not to be outdone, made a face for his father, and ran behind Bai Guo before his father picked up the thing, shouting: "Guo Guo protect me!"

"get out."

"I don't!"

Wei Liangyin relied on Baiguo's birthday today, Wei Xizhou would definitely not reach out to beat him, so he became more and more unscrupulous.

Bai Guo couldn't help it, just blinked to watch the two of them fight each other, interjecting a few words of persuasion from time to time.

However, persuasion is impossible. The two army ruffians quarreled like a storyteller in Beijing, cadenced and aggressive, and the panic that arose in Bai Guo's heart gradually became numb. Looking at the expressions of the maids and mothers around her, it seemed that it was normal, and there was no intention of dissuading them at all.

It wasn't until the nobles who came to celebrate their birthdays in the front yard that Wei Xizhou had to go to entertain them in person, the flames of war in the house did not subside.

"I think father is still mad at me for losing you yesterday, trying to find fault with me in different ways." The mouth was dry, Wei Liangyin took the tea offered by the maid and gulped it down. One, he pulled Bai Guo again and said pitifully, "Guo Guo, you have to protect me. Although I study martial arts diligently, I can't beat my father with ten!"

"Uncle is so powerful." Bai Guo smiled a little at his begging tone, "But you dared to contradict him like that just now."

"Are you here? Father won't do anything to me because of your face." Wei Liangyin said proudly.

Bai Guo worked next to him, and said in a low voice: "But... I will never stay in the general's mansion. After I leave, what will my cousin do? I still have to restrain my temper with my uncle."

Wei Liang snorted, feeling unhappy, and nodded to Bai Guo's forehead and said, "The General's Mansion is your home, if you don't live at home, where are you going? Where are you going?"

Bai Guo's eyes froze for a while, thinking that Wei Liangyin must have forgotten that he had a marriage contract, so she said: "The holy decree, I... will enter Prince Jing's mansion in the next year."

Wei Liangyin said indifferently: "...Oh, yes."

He paused and then said, "It's your birthday today, did King Jing say that he would come to congratulate you?"

Bai Guo honestly shook her head and said, "No."

Wei Liang snorted and said: "That King Jing is cold-hearted, and his reputation in Beijing is not very good. Earlier, when your father didn't come back, he asked you to suffer alone in the Bai family, and the Holy One pointed out such a marriage. Naturally, you can't refuse it." ...But now that your father is back in Beijing, he can definitely make decisions for you. Guoguo, seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Jing doesn't even know about your birthday, it can be seen that he doesn't take you seriously, so he must not be a good match. "

Bai Guo opened her mouth, wanting to say that the Prince Jing she knew was not as cold-hearted as her cousin said.

Although His Highness said less, but... thinking of the two people in the carriage yesterday, what King Jing forced him to say, and forced himself to lose his inexplicable temper, he blushed involuntarily.

Wei Liangyin was talking to himself, and missed Bai Guo's expression. He decided that King Jing was not a good guy, so he said: "Guo Guo, father, he still has a little face with His Majesty, as long as you nod your head and say something. If you don't like it, it's okay for the family to ask His Majesty to take back the will of granting the marriage!"

"How...how did this happen?" Bai Guo opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have always been eloquent, and I will not bother my uncle to annoy the saint because of me. Besides, His Royal Highness King Jing is actually not as rumored. I'm fierce, I..."

He was embarrassed to say that he had some affection for King Jing, so he just bowed his head and remained silent.

Wei Liangyin didn't expect that his cousin seemed to be distracted by King Jing, so he shut his mouth for a while, and said for a moment, "You can really tell me that you don't reject the marriage of the Holy Majesty, and you don't care about King Jing's things." Have a bad reputation?"

Bai Guo nodded, seeing that Wei Liangyin's expression seemed incomprehensible and unacceptable, she took the initiative to pull Wei Liangyin's sleeve, and whispered coquettishly: "Today is my birthday, cousin, don't say these things to me... King Jing I don't care whether your Highness comes or not, I just hope that my cousin won't get angry with me for others today...Come on, have a smile?"

Wei Liangyin sighed, and wanted to stretch out his hands to rub Bai Guo's small head as usual, but seeing his rare and beautiful bun, he let go of his hair, pinched Bai Guo's cheeks instead, and said helplessly: "You ..."

Ginkgo pouted, eyebrows and eyes curved.

In the front yard, Wei Xizhou walked along the road with a cold snort.He is a general who came back from the border guards. Others' impression of Wei Xizhou is still that he was ignorant and incompetent when he was in the capital more than ten years ago when he was playing with cats and dogs in the capital. The head of the military generals is the general who is courteous even to the emperor, an upstart in Beijing.Wei Xizhou's character and temperament are still under the watchful eye of the aristocratic family. The people who came to congratulate him today saw that his face was condensed. Although it was his nephew's birthday, he was not very happy, so they couldn't help giving him an unpredictable judgment.

Wei Xizhou generally knows what these aristocrats are scheming in their hearts, but he doesn't take it seriously. In the first few decades of his Wei family, he has been a loyal minister of the country since Emperor Xie's founding, and now the reigning Emperor Jin Yuan is even more so. He was in his prime of life, and although his sons and daughters became kings one after another, their ambitions were somewhat exposed, but fortunately, the prince's position was stable, and the battle for the heir apparent that had to be experienced in all dynasties in the past few years would hardly show itself in recent years.

And under such circumstances, those aristocratic families who joined the team earlier seemed to be either idiots or idiots.

Wei Xizhou thought so, but still kept his expression on his face, he just asked the steward around him to accept the congratulatory gift, then chatted with the person who came to the door with a straight face, and then walked vigorously to greet the next family.

When the aristocratic family saw Wei Xizhou, they would say nothing, they would only say a few more words to the other person when they praised today's little birthday boy, they couldn't help touching their noses resentfully, gave the birthday gift and left.

Sending away those aristocratic families with ulterior motives, Wei Xizhou refused most people's requests to meet the birthday boy face to face, and only invited them to hang out in the front yard, on the grounds that it was inconvenient for him to see more male nephews.

As for Bai Guo, he only writes and draws in the backyard during the day, and is not too curious to hear the bustle of people coming and going in the front yard. He just follows Wei Liangyin and dances with guns and swords in the yard. Also passed in a blink of an eye.

"Bored?" Wei Liangyin took a cloth handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead after practicing swords in winter, leaned over to Bai Guo's desk, and looked at the green bamboo he had drawn on the declaration, "That's Guoguo, can you calm down?" If it was me who came down to draw these things, I would have knocked the table down."

Bai Guo thought of the Wei family ancestral training that Wei Liangyin had copied out yesterday in handwriting like a dog crawling, and whispered: "That's why uncle always urges you to practice calligraphy."

"Hmph." Wei Liangyin groaned, and said like a rascal, "I don't like it, I don't practice it, I don't practice it, and I don't need to play tricks when I march and fight."

Bai Guo couldn't beat him.

Wei Liangyin took his chair again, sat on it like a second uncle and said, "Guoguo, don't feel bored, it's your fault that father has placed so many invitations in the name of your birthday, the man from the front yard came Too many, it's not good to let you little Shuang'er who hasn't left the cabinet go to see them."

Bai Guo said: "It's not boring, I know my cousin is with me."

Hearing the words, Wei Liangyin didn't know what to think of, and suddenly smiled and said: "But it will be fine when the dinner party arrives. Our own family will be at the dinner party... Speaking of which, there are a few young generals in the army who have always had a good relationship with me. Let me get to know you."

It's better to let my silly cousin know that there are many better men than King Jing, so don't continue to fall on that crooked neck tree.
