My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

The whole house was gathered.

Zong Yanli sat in the main seat next to Han, and the rest of the people took their seats in turn. Zong Yanli looked around and asked someone to add a chair, and invited Wen Nian to sit down with him. Everyone present was very familiar with Wen Nian, even the younger ones had seen Wen Nian, and when they saw Zong Yanli do this, they just glanced sideways and no one said much.

During the dinner, several very sensible children came forward one after another to congratulate Zong Yanli. Zong Yanli looked at these little kids gradually growing up and couldn't help feeling a little gratified and impressed.

"Why does mother eat so little?" Zong Yanli glanced at Han and asked in a gentle voice.

"I had some snacks earlier. Ah Li, you should eat more. You've been working hard outside." Han smiled at Zong Yanli, looked at her with pity in her eyes and said, "The march was so hard. It's rare to have a good meal. Come, eat more."

Zong Yanli agreed with a smile, and after the meal he discussed the family banquet with his mother.

Han naturally had no objection to this. Zong Yanli said calmly, "Mother, don't worry about this. I will take care of the banquet."

Han naturally refused to listen and immediately said disapprovingly: "How can you handle these trivial matters? Mother is not too old to manage the household. Just hand in the memorial and Mother will take care of the banquet."

"Brother, I'm still here to help mother." Zong Yanyin said quickly.

"That's right, Ah Li, don't worry. I'll help you too." Fourth Aunt took over and said, "Although I can't help with anything big, I can still lend a hand with small things."

Zong Yanli's eyes were slightly warm as he glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally bowed his head to express his gratitude.

Although Han wanted to talk to Zong Yanli more, she knew that she had been very busy today, going to the palace and meeting the emperor, so she persuaded her, "Let's stop here today. Ah Li, you've worked hard all the way, so get some good sleep."

Everyone responded and then dispersed.

It was not convenient to keep Zong Yanyin, so she, Wei Songhe and the children went back to the mansion first. The fourth uncle and aunt naturally stayed in the mansion.

Zong Yanli's yard had been cleaned up early, and Wen Nian now had his own room in the Zong Yan family mansion, living next door to Zong Yanli.

She was indeed exhausted today. Zong Yanli lay down on the soft bed and completely relaxed. However, the exhaustion that followed made her unable to fall asleep for a long time. Perhaps it was because it was too quiet and she no longer felt the urgency she had in the army.

It was as if everything had suddenly become peaceful. This should have been the tranquility she had always dreamed of, but when this day really came, it made her feel a little confused.

Zong Yanli took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought about how to train soldiers in the future. He needed to find time to integrate the shortcomings of fighting for many years, and then think about recruiting soldiers...

As I was thinking about this, I felt sleepy and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Zong Yanli opened his eyes, he was dazed for a moment when he looked at the ceiling of the tent. It took him half a second to react where he was. He got up from the soft bed and was surprised to find that he had slept so well.

"General." Gao Feilin outside the house seemed to have calculated the time when Zong Yanli would wake up, and he stood outside the door holding a basin of water and called out.

"Come in." Zong Yanli put on his soft armor, put on his outer robe, tied his belt, turned around and called.

Gao Feilin carried the basin of water in, put it down and said, "Someone came from the Madam's courtyard to ask if the general wants to come over for dinner."

Zong Yanli walked to the basin, bent down to wash, and said, "Go."

Gao Feilin agreed, turned around and said something to Bu Gaoxuan, who nodded and replied.

"Bring me my sword." It was still early, so Zong Yanli simply washed up, picked up his sword and went to the yard to practice. Wen Nian also came out. Zong Yanli asked Wen Nian to practice with him for a while, and then he saw Zong Yan Guanghe leading Zong Yan Haoyan outside the yard.

"Father." The two men, one tall and one short, came forward and bowed.

"You're just in time. Come with me to your grandmother's house for breakfast." Zong Yanli put away the knife, took the handkerchief handed to him by Gao Feilin, wiped the sweat from his face, and said to the two of them.

"Yes." The two brothers responded with smiles on their faces.
