Kneel down and beg to return to the field

A lot of money was thrown out, but only a few pieces of light paper were exchanged.

Holding the newly acquired house deed, Wei Lai couldn't help reaching out and patting his forehead, with a bit of annoyance on his face - she didn't know what was wrong with her, nothing she did recently seemed like she would Do it, whether it's getting married or buying a house.

After being annoyed, Wei Lai secretly calculated: it cost 100 taels to buy the jade pendant at the beginning, and now it costs more than 200 taels to buy a house, plus the occasional expenses in the capital during this period... Unknowingly, her family fortune It has shrunk by nearly half? !

No matter how open-minded Wei Lai was, at this moment he only felt a pain in the flesh.But at this time, Wang Hu and the others who took her to see the house and buy a house were still joining in the fun: "General, I have bought all the houses, and you are settled in this capital from now on. In my opinion, it is better to buy two more shops. Or go out of the city to buy a Zhuangzi, and also fill in the income for the future family.”

still buy? !Wei Lai not only felt a pain in the flesh, but also a toothache!

Quickly finding excuses to decline these people, Wei Lai hurried back to the barracks.It's a pity that before she could catch her breath, she was caught again by He Lin's group. They were not as enthusiastic as the Black Armored Cavalry, but one or two pulled Wei Lai to ask her to treat her to a drink or something. , so it is doomed that General Wei's purse, which has just bled heavily today, will continue to bleed again...

Early the next morning, when Wei Yan had just arrived at the barracks, Wei Lai came to the door, and then said with a righteous face: "Marshal, the general sees that there is nothing serious in the army today, so I wonder if we can give the general some time off before returning home. Country visiting mother?"

What Wei said was to visit the mother, not pick up the mother. The meaning of the word difference is also very different. How could an old fox like Wei Yan not understand it?But he just blinked his eyes, and said calmly: "You and the girl of the He family are not too young, and this matter really cannot be delayed. Tell me, how long will you be going for this trip?"

Wei Lai didn't know that her casual words made Marshal Wei wary, and after she thought about it silently, she said, "My home is in Changning Town, Qizhou Prefecture, which is quite far from the capital. It may take more than forty days to go."

Hearing this, Wei Yan said without thinking, "Okay then, I'll give you a three-month holiday."

three months?This time was twice as much as what Wei Lai needed!Wei Lai looked at Wei Yan in surprise, always feeling that the marshal was planning something, and she had no choice but to say under suspicion: "Marshal, this time... is too long, it will only take forty days in the end."

Hearing this, Marshal Wei waved his hands generously and said: "It's okay, you have been on the expedition for seven years, and it is rare to go home, so don't rush back and forth, walk slowly on the road, or stay at home for more time It doesn't matter."

When he said this, Wei Yan's face was open and frank, almost writing "I'm thinking of you and for your own good" on his face.It's a pity that Wei Lai has been with him for a long time, and Marshal Wei doesn't have the ability to dazzle people like Miss He, so his behavior made Wei Lai more suspicious.

"...Stinky boy, get out! Are you still not happy about giving you a long vacation?!" Marshal Wei became a little annoyed by Wei Lai's undisguised suspicious eyes, but he still didn't forget to remind him when he was angry. Sentence: "Before you leave, remember to go to the Shangshu Mansion to say something, lest people think you have run away, and then you will ask me for someone!"

Wei Lai backed out of the house with a face full of speechlessness, but he looked up to see the bright sunshine outside, and thought that the time to visit relatives in his hometown had doubled, so he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to go to Shangshu Mansion as soon as possible, because she has already decided to leave early tomorrow morning.

"Miss, the master wants you to go to the front hall." The servant girl came in a hurry, interrupting He Zhi's reading pleasure.

The front hall is a place for receiving guests, and it is usually not her turn to go to the daughter's house, unless the person who comes is special.When He Zhi put down the book, he already had guesses in his mind, but when he went out with the maid, he still asked, "Who is coming to the house today?"

He Zhi's temperament can be considered gentle and generous, not as arrogant and coquettish as ordinary ladies, and the maid who sent the message was not afraid of her, so she chuckled lightly when she heard the words: "Miss is so smart, I should have guessed it." The person here is General Wei, Miss, your future son-in-law."

Because of He Zhi's betrothal, the mansion is full of joy recently, and even the servants are much bolder.

Naturally, He Zhi wouldn't get angry because of these two jokes, she just pursed her lips when she heard the words, and didn't say anything more, but she was already guessing the purpose of Wei Lai's visit... Is it because of the matter of returning home to say goodbye?

Sure enough, just as He Zhi and his party walked out of the front hall door, before they had time to step in, they heard Wei Lai's clear voice from inside: "Uncle, the marshal has granted me leave to return home this morning, nephew I came here today to bid farewell."

Before He Shangshu had time to reply, he saw his daughter stepping into the door of the front hall, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say.He smiled and stroked his long beard, and said, "Zhi'er is here."

Wei Lai was facing He Shangshu at first, so naturally he didn't notice the door, but at this moment, he froze unconsciously when he heard the words.It wasn't that Ms. He's fierceness made her feel scared, but just thinking about their identities as a fiancé couple, and thinking about the strange but inexplicably harmonious relationship between the two, Wei Lai subconsciously Somewhat uncomfortable.

When He Zhi entered the door, she glanced at Wei Lai, and naturally noticed her small movements, and immediately frowned slightly.At this time, she was not in a hurry to say anything, she still politely saluted her father and said hello, and then officially shifted her gaze to Wei Lai: "I just heard outside the door that you are here this time. Farewell?"

Wei Lai didn't expect her to be so direct, he was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, the marshal has granted me a vacation to go back to my hometown, I plan to leave early tomorrow morning, and I'm here today to say goodbye."

He Zhi nodded when she heard the words, but didn't say anything more about this matter, but suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Wei Lai, do you still remember what you promised me on the Mid-Autumn Festival night?"

Mid-Autumn Festival?With this reminder, Wei Lai quickly remembered the conversation between the two that night...

"What about the small town in the south? If I can go someday, how about you showing me?" He Zhi asked at that time.

"Okay." Wei Lai replied at that time.

So an agreement was formed.Even though Wei Lai at that time might never have thought of fulfilling this agreement, but at this moment, she, who always kept her promises, could not break her word and lose weight.

Seeing Wei Lai's drooping look, He Zhi knew that she had remembered.There was a flash of a smile in his eyes, and He Zhi said: "Since Wei Lai, you still remember, can you come to the Shangshu Mansion to pick me up tomorrow morning?"

"Hey, Zhi'er, you..." Before Wei Lai could nod his head, He Shangshu, who was sitting on the side drinking tea and watching, was stunned, and couldn't help asking.

He Zhi smiled lightly, but when faced with his father's questioning, he said generously: "Father, my daughter has never left the capital, and I have heard General Wei mention the rare scenery of my hometown before, and I want to go with him. promise?"

Such a decision was actually a bit sudden, if it wasn't for Wei Lai's uncomfortable appearance before, He Zhi wouldn't have to follow her this trip.It's just that she has her own pride. Since she chose Wei Lai, she naturally wanted him to marry her willingly, instead of relying on calculations to plan this marriage.What's more, Wei Lai is interested in her, this trip is a great opportunity to increase the time they spend together and increase their relationship with each other.

He Shangshu may not have thought much about it, but he has always trusted his daughter, so he hesitated for a moment, then nodded.Afterwards, the eyes of the father and daughter moved to Wei Lai together...

Faced with Miss He's expectant gaze and He Shangshu's warning gaze, Wei Lai only felt his scalp tingling for a while.She suddenly found sadly that when facing these people after returning to Beijing, she seemed to have no room to speak.It was as if at this moment, under the gaze of those two eyes, she had unconsciously nodded her head.
