Chapter 424 Full Moon, Back to the Battlefield
"Little Yanqing and little Yanyu are so good-looking. They are definitely the most beautiful children I have ever seen."
"Isn't it? They are white and tender when they are born. I'm sure they will charm many young men and girls when they grow up."
"Hahaha···"
Everyone was praising the two children one after another, and bursting into laughter from time to time. After everyone had calmed down, Shen Xiangwan and his wife put them in the crib. The babies, who had just turned one month old, basically either ate or slept every day, and there was nothing much to tease. Everyone's topic soon turned to Shen Xiangwan, and they all cared about her health.
"Wanwan, why are you still so thin?"
Seeing that she looked basically the same as before, neither thinner nor fatter, the female relatives were extremely envious.
“Maybe I’m naturally beautiful?”
Raising her eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan curled the corners of her lips to tease them intentionally. Actually, she wasn't really teasing them. She really didn't pay attention to the issue of weight, and her figure naturally returned to the way it was before she was pregnant.
"···"
Isn’t it so infuriating?
The young women were almost crying with anger and all looked angry.
"Today is my son's full moon day. Thank you all for coming to congratulate me. I'll drink first to show my respect!"
Before the meal started, Wei Chengyi took Shen Xiangwan's hand and stood up. After a brief thank you, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.
"It's already noon, I'm sure everyone is hungry, so I won't say any more. Thank you all again, cheers!"
Everyone present was a family, so Shen Xiangwan didn't say any empty polite words and was very casual.
"Dry!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and the full-month banquet for the two children officially began. Since Wei Chengyi was busy every day, no matter who toasted him, he would serve tea instead. However, Shen Xiangwan drank quite a lot, and she was a little dizzy when the banquet was over. Wei Chengyi entrusted the children to Zhao Yuping and took her back upstairs to rest.
“These two kids are really good-looking.”
Looking at the children lying in the cribs spitting up milk bubbles, Aunt Wang could not help but praise that the Wei family really knew how to raise children. At the beginning, the old man listened to Wanwan's suggestion and gathered everyone to discuss buying a dairy cow. In the end, few people responded, so they partnered with the second and third sons' families to buy a dairy cow. After drinking milk for several months, not only the children, but even the adults themselves were in much better health.
"Chengyi and Wanwan are good-looking, so their children won't be bad either."
As Wan spoke, she picked up her younger sister, Xiao Yanyu. She loved pretty girls, but unfortunately, their family only had a boy, Yunyi, and her son and daughter-in-law didn't seem to be in a hurry to have children. If she wanted to have a granddaughter, she would probably have to wait another two years.
“Wow…”
Maybe he felt his sister was taken away, but little Yanqing suddenly burst into tears. Zhao Yuping quickly picked him up and said, "Don't cry, little Yanqing. Grandma loves you. Don't cry!"
"This child, is he trying to win favor?"
Wei Linger said this out of the blue. Everyone was stunned. Then they couldn't help laughing. They took the child from Zhao Yuping's hands. Yue Ruyan teased him and said, "Maybe he's afraid that bad guys will take his sister away." "Hahaha..."
This statement was even more bizarre, and everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, but they soon put the child back in the crib. Children at this time must not be held too much, otherwise they will have to be held all the time. It's okay during the day because there are many people in the family and they won't be tired from taking turns holding them, but it will be troublesome at night.
"Chengyi, when are we going to attack Jiaozhou?"
In the bedroom upstairs, Shen Xiangwan leaned on the bed with her eyes slightly squinted. She was not drunk, just a little tipsy. Wei Chengyi had been handling government affairs beside her during this period. She basically knew everything that was happening outside. Mingzhou had been put in order, and it was almost time to take over Jiaozhou.
"anytime."
Walking over and reaching out to brush the hair off her cheek, Wei Chengyi said softly that the emperor had not sent any reinforcements, and there were at most 10,000 or 20,000 troops stationed in Jiaozhou. It would be an easy task to take it down, and it was basically not worth their special effort.
"If we take it down sooner rather than later, the people can still plant a crop of potatoes. Only when we can truly solve the problem of food and clothing will they support us."
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. This is not just talk. If they cannot win the hearts of the people, they will not be able to maintain their rule even if they conquer the country.
"Well, do you want to come with me?"
Wei Chengyi did not object. In fact, if he had not wanted to accompany her, he would have taken Jiaozhou long ago. The situation around Tianqi Kingdom was not peaceful, and they had to quell the civil unrest as soon as possible. Otherwise, if other countries took advantage of the situation, they would face even greater trouble.
"want."
Opening his eyes, Shen Xiangwan slowly sat up: "I want to take the children with me. When we are not free, we can give them to Ruyan or put them in the space and let No. 1 take care of them. When we are free, we can take care of them ourselves."
This time they would definitely fight all the way to the imperial city and would not be back in a short time. She didn't want the children to not recognize her in the future. Besides, her mother-in-law and the others had to take care of the little cubs and little Tuanzi. Even if there were servants to help, they would probably not be able to take care of two more babies.
"Okay, take it with you. We will set off in three days."
Wei Chengyi agreed without much thought. There were too many children in the family, and it was not good to leave them all to their mother and her family. The space was very safe, and there was Number One who knew basically everything, so the children would not suffer if they followed them.
"Ah."
Leaning over and snuggling into his arms, Pei Ji closed his eyes and hugged his waist. The dog emperor had been at large for so long, it was time for him to pay the price!
Wei Chengyi and his friends' plan to take the children away was strongly opposed by Zhao Yuping and others, but they would not change their decision easily. In the end, Shen Xiangwan persuaded them with her eloquence. Perhaps because they had left several times before, the little cubs did not cry this time, but just repeatedly reminded them with red eyes to come back early.
During this period, Yan Lang and his men had been stationed in Mingzhou, and the Wei family army was also stationed at the junction of Mingzhou and Jiaozhou. Wei Chengyi and his wife went directly to Mingzhou. In order to avoid the bumpy road, they put the child into the space. It was not until they heard the child crying at night that they realized that they had brought the child with them.
"Qingying, you will lead 50,000 soldiers to attack Anyang City tomorrow."
In the central army tent, Wei Chengyi ordered in a deep voice. Anyang City was the closest city to Mingzhou in Jiaozhou. Originally, it had only more than a thousand troops stationed there. In order to deal with them, the government office and the garrison commander had mobilized all the soldiers in Jiaozhou to Anyang County. It was estimated that there were about 20,000 people in total. The reason for sending 50,000 people to attack was because he wanted to capture Anyang City as quickly as possible and with overwhelming advantage, so that other cities in Jiaozhou would not dare to resist again and take Jiaozhou as bloodlessly as possible.
