Kneel down and beg to return to the field

Wei Lai was not in a good mood since she set off again early the next morning. She followed the carriage silently all the way without saying a word.However, Zeng Yuwei climbed into He Zhi's carriage early this morning, chatting and laughing with her all the way, so that He Zhi didn't have time to say anything to Wei Lai.

Zeng Yuwei's uncle, Zeng Yuanzhi, is the prefect of Yuzhou. Although Yuzhou City is not in Wei Lai's original itinerary, the deviation is not too much. It only takes a day or two to go around, and it doesn't seem to be in the way. .

He Zhi's carriage was moving slowly, and the time for them to arrive at Yuzhou City was slightly delayed.At noon, Zeng Yuwei's entourage reported to her: "Miss, I'm walking slowly today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Yuzhou City in the afternoon. It's almost noon now, why don't you take a rest here, and it shouldn't be possible to arrive before evening." question."

Zeng Yuanzhi's birthday is still one or two days away, and now Yuzhou City is just around the corner, Zeng Yuwei was not in a hurry, so she nodded her agreement immediately.The group found a place with a wide view to stop for a short rest, and ate some dry food for lunch. It was only at this time that He Zhi had time to talk to Wei Lai.

"Wei Lai, are you unhappy today?" It was rare for He Zhi to ask straight to the point when he saw Wei Lai.

Wei Lai was drinking water from a kettle, but when he heard this, he paused and put down the kettle.She didn't look into He Zhi's eyes, but just stared at the kettle in her hand and said lightly, "No."

Most of the soldiers are forthright and upright, General Wei is really not a person who is good at hiding his emotions.Although she said that she was not unhappy, but with such an attitude, He Zhi naturally saw her insincere words at a glance.

Turning her head and looking around, seeing Zeng Yuwei and her entourage ordering something, and no one else noticed, He Zhi boldly reached out and took Wei Lai's hand: "I'm sorry, Wei Lai, I didn't talk to you before. After discussing it, you agreed to go to Yuzhou. It's just that the Zeng family and my family have been friends for generations, and Uncle Zeng is also my father's best friend, so since I knew he was going to celebrate his birthday, it was hard for me to go."

In the relationship between Wei Lai and He Zhi, the two of them have always observed etiquette.Even though He Zhi always showed a little ambiguity intentionally or unintentionally on weekdays, except for that day in the Drunken Rain Pavilion, there were almost no such direct actions.

Just like in the Drunken Rain Pavilion that day, Wei Lai only moved his fingers slightly, but he was still unwilling to break free.There was a hint of blush on the base of her ears, and after looking up at He Zhi, she looked away awkwardly: "I understand these people's ways of the world. The vacation given by the marshal is long enough, and it doesn't matter if you delay for a day or two." , you don't have to take it to heart."

Even though it wasn't the first time seeing Wei Lai blushing with embarrassment, every time He Zhi saw it, He Zhi still felt amazed and amused.Although she had not been in contact with many people in the past, there were always quite a few, but it was the first time she saw a man who blushed so easily, so Wei Lai's appearance made it easier for her to think of teasing him.

It's a pity that today, before He Zhi had time to act, someone interrupted her - Zeng Yuwei had finished talking with her entourage, and brought over the exquisite cakes she had prepared earlier, and wanted to eat with He Zhi.Naturally, she never forgot Wei Lai's portion, but Wei Lai declined it on the grounds that she didn't like sweets.

After He Zhi was helplessly abducted by Zeng Yuwei again, Wei Lai stood there with a water bottle and watched the two of them leave, and suddenly realized that Miss Zeng was too close to He Zhi?Obviously these two people are just childhood acquaintances who haven't seen each other for many years, how can there be so many things to talk about?

※※※

The itinerary was as expected, the carriage swayed on the road, until the evening, when Wei Lai and Zeng Yuwei and the others finally entered the gate of Yuzhou City under the sunset.

Because Zeng Yuwei had sent someone to rush to report the letter, so the group of people had just entered the city gate when someone greeted them.

"Yuwei, didn't you say you arrived at noon? But something happened on the road, why is it so late?" The person who took the lead to greet people was a handsome young man, and he saw the young man who was jumping out of the carriage at a glance. Zeng Yuwei asked.

Zeng Yuwei was obviously very happy to see him, she jumped over in three or two steps, not looking like a lady at all.She shrugged slightly, with a bright smile on her face: "Seventh brother, since you know that something happened to me on the way, why not guess what happened to me?"

Zeng Mohan had nothing to do with this somewhat spoiled cousin, he smiled helplessly, but moved his eyes to the chariot and horses and accompanying people behind Zeng Yuwei in a kind manner.He Zhi's carriage looks ordinary in appearance, and Zeng Yuwei's team originally had a carriage, so it didn't attract his attention, but Wei Lai, who was sitting upright on the horseback, stood out a bit, and he caught his eye. Just noticed.

"Yuwei, who did you meet on the road?" Although Zeng Mohan didn't know Wei Lai, he still had the vision that he should have, and the other person's posture and imposing manner were obviously not ordinary people.

Hearing Zeng Mohan's question, Zeng Yuwei didn't find it strange.She glanced at Wei Lai as if inadvertently, and found that the aura on Wei Lai seemed to be getting worse, but she only paused for a while before continuing to laugh: "Then Brother Seven will continue to guess who I met on this road." ?”

When Zeng Mohan heard this, he gave Wei Lai a strange look.He was sure that he had never met this person, but according to his cousin, what she met seemed to be his old friend?

Thinking like this, Zeng Mohan looked away from Wei Lai again.After quickly looking at everyone, his eyes soon fell on the carriage that had never opened the curtain... His cousin seemed to have jumped out of that carriage before. , so are there other guests in the car?Besides, it should be a female guest, right?

After all, Zeng Mohan didn't have the ability to guess things from a distance, so he had no choice but to smile and said: "This is stupid, how do you ask me to guess?" He said this to Zeng Yuwei, but stepped forward a few steps, rushed Holding the carriage, he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know which old friend came here. Zeng is far away from welcoming me. I hope you can forgive me."

He Zhi didn't come out earlier, and it was only because of Zeng Yuwei's request. Now that Zeng Mohan asked, she graciously asked Xi Qiu to open the curtain and come out of the carriage.

Wei Lai consciously got off his horse and helped He Zhi get out of the car, but Zeng Mohan was still in a daze.He stared at He Zhi's vaguely familiar face in a daze, with a bit of bewilderment on his face, and even a bit of disbelief, until He Zhi turned his head and smiled softly: "Mo Han, I haven't seen you for many years. Do you know me?"

When the words fell to the ground, Zeng Mohan's eyes lit up immediately, and the guess in his heart had come true.He subconsciously took two steps forward, with an undisguised smile on his face: "A Zhi, it's really you?! You... aren't you in the capital? Why did you come to Yuzhou?"

On this side, Zeng Mohan was quite surprised and happy, but on the other side, Wei Lai's expression darkened unconsciously after hearing He Zhi's words—this person was indeed the Zeng Mohan mentioned by Zeng Yuwei and He Zhi, and it seemed that He Zhi still has a close friendship with him.

Although He Zhi didn't look back, she was keenly aware that Wei Lai beside him was a little unhappy.There was a flash of a smile in her eyes, but she just patted Wei Lai's arm secretly to comfort her, and said with a smile on her face: "This time is also a coincidence, I am Yu Wei who I met on the road last night, from her Knowing that Uncle's birthday is approaching, I came here specially to celebrate Uncle's birthday."

Zeng Mohan seemed to have noticed He Zhi's small movements. He glanced at Wei Lai without any trace, but the friendly smile on his face remained unchanged: "That's really a coincidence. Speaking of which, father hasn't seen you for many years. Zhi, you must be very happy to celebrate his birthday." After a pause, he turned his eyes to Wei Lai openly and asked, "By the way, who is this?"

This time, without waiting for He Zhi's introduction, Zeng Yuwei on the side spoke first: "Seventh Brother, this is General Zhongwu in the Dingbei Army, General Wei Laiwei, and Sister He is all the way."

Whether intentionally or not, she ignored the fact that He Zhi and Wei Lai were fiancée.Wei Lai didn't pay attention, but He Zhi seemed to have noticed, but she just glanced at Zeng Yuwei lightly, and didn't say anything to emphasize anything.

Because of He Zhi's indifferent eyes, the atmosphere at that moment was a bit subtle.I don't know if Zeng Mohan noticed it, but he reacted quickly, raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "In that case, please come with me, General Wei and Ah Zhi. And Yuwei, Father is still waiting at home."

When Zeng Mohan interrupted, He Zhi also looked away when she heard the words, and Zeng Yuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So there was no need to say anything more, and the group walked towards the prefect's mansion politely.
