Chapter 406 Eighteenth Birthday (1)
"What about the remaining rebel soldiers? Were they all killed?"
Shaking off the slight dissatisfaction in her heart, Shen Xiangwan hurriedly asked, after all, those were ordinary people who were forced to live and had to take up arms to resist. If Wanqi Shan was really that cruel, then the first person she would kill in the future would be him, and she would definitely wipe out his entire family!
"No, everyone in the country is watching the Binzhou battlefield. If Wanqishan really dares to do that, the people can drown them with just a mouthful of spit!"
Because he had people spread the actions of the emperor and the court everywhere, and established the Binzhou rebel army as a model of courage to resist oppression, the reputation of the Binzhou army had long been notorious. However, anyone with a little bit of common sense would not massacre the captured rebel soldiers at this time. The consequences were not something Wanqishan or the emperor and the court could bear.
"That's good."
Shen Xiangwan exhaled deeply. As long as he was still alive, there was still a chance.
"After your eighteenth birthday, let's go to the three border counties."
Reaching out and holding her hand, Wei Chengyi looked at her deeply. Logically, he should have gone to the three border counties to take charge. Wasn't it because he thought that her birthday last year was too shabby and he wanted to celebrate it for her at home?
"good."
Meeting his eyes, Shen Xiangwan turned around and clasped his fingers together. It was time for them to go to the three border counties and wait for the arrival of the Western Hu army.
Shen Xiangwan's birthday is in February. She is a person who pays great attention to her birthday because only on this day can she truly feel that all her relatives and friends care about her, as if she is the happiest person in the world. The two have been married for almost two years, and Wei Chengyi naturally understands her. So after waking up in the morning, he did not go to the study to handle government affairs as usual, but sat by the bed and watched her quietly, waiting for her to wake up.
"Um... Chengyi, good morning!"
Around 9:00 a.m., Shen Xiangwan opened her eyes drowsily, and the handsome face that came into her sight made her reflexively curl up the corners of her lips.
Wei Chengyi leaned over and pecked her on the lips: "Wanwan, happy birthday!"
"Thanks."
A happy birthday woke her up completely. Shen Xiangwan raised her hand and hooked it around his neck: "Where's my birthday present?"
"It's been prepared for a long time."
Holding her in his arms, Wei Chengyi sat up and picked up the exquisitely carved wooden box on the bedside. He took out a sapphire necklace from it and leaned over to put it on her neck. "Do you like it?"
Last year on her birthday, he gave her a sapphire bracelet, this year it was a necklace, and next year he planned to get her a sapphire hairpin or earrings to give her a complete set.
"It's okay."
Looking down at the thumb-sized sapphire pendant, Shen Xiangwan nodded vaguely, but the smile on her lips could not be suppressed. She was obviously very satisfied with the gift he gave her, although she really didn't wear jewelry very often.
"Catch you!"
Scratching her nose lovingly, Wei Chengyi picked her up horizontally, and the two of them quickly disappeared in the room.
Shen Xiangwan's birthday was an event no less important than the New Year for the Wei family. The family was busy early in the morning. Zhao Yuping and Yun Mengyi even cooked personally. The Wan family and others who came to congratulate also helped. Only Wei Jinghan, Wei Jingyi and Ji Shaohan were left in the main room to look after the child. As for the little cub, he rarely went out to play, but gathered in front of the desk in the corner with a wolf and a dog, and no one knew what they were doing.
"Master, Uncle Yi, Uncle Han."
The couple walked into the main room and greeted Ji Shaohan and the others one after another.
"Aunt!"
“Woof woof woof!”
“Ahhh…”
Seeing them, the little cub immediately ran over. With him were a wolf and a dog. In the crib, the little ball, who was almost nine months old, was babbling non-stop. Shen Xiangwan undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall!"
She broke free from Wei Chengyi's hand and caught the child, then adjusted his slightly crooked crown.
"Aunt, happy birthday."
The little cub held up a piece of rice paper covered with graffiti: "This is a gift from me, do you like it?"
"Really?"
Unexpectedly, the little cub would give her a gift. Shen Xiangwan smiled brightly and picked up the graffiti that the little cub held high and took a closer look. There were many little people drawn on it. Each of them looked similar, but judging from the number of people, they should be their family. One of the little people surrounded in the middle had a crown on his head, which was exactly the same paper crown that Shen Xiangwan gave the little cub on his birthday. Obviously, she was the protagonist of today, Shen Xiangwan.
"Thank you, Angel. I like your gift very much and will treasure it."
Although the child's graffiti could not be called a style of painting, Shen Xiangwan still liked it very much and squatted down to kiss his little face.
"whee!"
The little cub suddenly smiled so hard that his teeth showed and his eyes were not visible. He was so happy.
"Go out and play, and don't bother your aunt."
At this moment, Zhao Yuping came in from outside with a bowl of longevity noodles: "Wanwan, come and have some noodles."
"good."
After rubbing the wolf and the dog separately, Shen Xiangwan got up and walked over.
"Eat it while it's hot, it's freshly cooked."
Zhao Yuping placed the longevity noodles in front of her. The thin white noodles were soaked in the milky soup, with a little chopped green onion floating on the noodles, which looked very delicious.
"Thank you, mother."
Picking up the chopsticks, Shen Xiangwan thanked her sweetly before picking up the noodles and putting them into her mouth. In a short while, she had eaten the whole bowl of noodles and even drank the soup.
The gift had been given out, and the child couldn't hold it in any longer, so he ran outside to play while Shen Xiangwan was eating noodles. Afterwards, Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying congratulated him one after another, and Yuan Xiu and Yuan Su also sent their blessings on behalf of all the guards.
“Ding ding!”
A car horn suddenly honked, and Shen Xiangwan reflexively raised his head. A moment later, Liang Yuting, who hadn't been seen for several months, walked in from outside, looking exhausted. "Finally caught up."
Liang Yuting sat next to Shen Xiangwan and handed the cloth bag in her hand to her.
"Inside is a birthday gift and a letter from Chu Liang for you."
It's already February, and the snow outside is still very heavy, making it completely impossible for off-road vehicles to drive. She came here at full speed and almost missed her birthday.
"Thanks."
After opening the cloth bag and taking a look, Shen Xiangwan's face was full of smiles. What she valued was not the weight of the gift, but the affection contained in it.
At noon, there were several tables filled with all kinds of delicious food, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. Wei Chengyi took Shen Xiangwan to sit at the main seat at the main table. After the servants had served the dishes and left, he stood up with a wine glass in one hand and Shen Xiangwan's hand in the other.
