Chapter 166
On the day of Zhang Jian's birthday, Pei Jing took the two jars of wine and went to join the military mansion with Chen Miao to celebrate his birthday.

Because Pei Jing has an official position now, it's okay to walk to join the military mansion by himself, but he feels a little distressed to let his wife walk there too, so he hired a small sedan chair for Chen Miao to sit on, and Riding a horse, he wobbled all the way to the front of the army mansion.

It was not yet noon at this time, and the gate of the Military Mansion was already full of traffic and the flow of people was endless.

Old Liu, the housekeeper of the Military Mansion, stood at the door, reading the invitation card, and was too busy receiving gifts to lift his head.

Pei Jing smiled slightly, and walked over with Chen Miao. As soon as Lao Liu looked up and saw him, because he was used to coming here often, Lao Liu smiled and said: "Lieutenant Pei is here, you can go in by yourself."

Pei Jing smiled and agreed, carrying the two jars of wine in one hand and Chen Miao in the other, and entered the courtyard of the Junjun Mansion.

Because it is a general, the front yard of the army mansion did not have much decoration.Entering the gate is a very spacious large courtyard, and coming up is a flower hall that can accommodate about [-] people.

There were already dozens of guests who came to celebrate the birthday in the flower hall, including local wealthy gentry, acquaintances in official circles, close friends, and senior and subordinates in the army.

It's just that among those present today, apart from Zhang Jian, who is a third-rank army member, there really isn't anyone with a higher official position than him.

In addition, he is today's birthday star, and he has already been surrounded by people at this time, exchanging greetings endlessly.

Pei Jing entered the flower hall, Zhang Jian saw him before he could speak, and said haha ​​to the side, finally got away and walked out first with a smile: "Good boy, you've come."

Pei Jing brought up the two jars of wine with a smile, bowed and said, "I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life like the South Mountain. Just pay respects and express your heart."

Zhang Jian took the two jars of wine. The jars were actually not very big, and one jar could only hold ten catties of wine at most.

But he weighed the weight as soon as he started, and the wine in each jar was only half of the jar at most.

He took a breath of cool air, couldn't help but sniffed the mouth of the wine jar twice, his eyes suddenly showed a look of intoxication, and said in surprise: "The two jars of wine must not be less than ten years old!"

Pei Jing smiled and said: "Yes, the ten-year-old Hua Diao has just been dug out of the ground. I hope my lord will not dislike the shabby gift."

Zhang Jian laughed loudly, and couldn't put it down for the two jars of wine. He lowered his voice and said, "Why do you despise shabbiness? This birthday gift of yours has really entered my heart."

He hurriedly called for someone to come over and put the two jars of wine away solemnly, then he said to Chen Miao who was beside Pei Jing, "This is the honored lady?"

Chen Miao saluted with a smile and said, "I have met Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Jian laughed loudly and said, "I'm only interested in this, and I'm telling Mrs. Pei to see a joke, please come inside."

After welcoming Pei Jing and Chen Miao into the flower hall, Zhang Jian gave Pei Jing a general introduction to the people in the flower hall.

All the people present were good people. Seeing that Zhang Jian, who joined the army as a third rank, valued a seventh rank school lieutenant so much, everyone understood a little bit more.

Perhaps the young and handsome Captain Pei in front of him is the young man who is rumored to have friendship with the current crown prince and Prince Rui.

Since even Zhang's joining the army valued him so much, how could the rest be willing to lag behind?

Everyone rushed forward and exchanged warm greetings with Pei Jing.

Zhang Jian touched his short beard and looked at it with a smile, very satisfied with the situation.

Chen Miao shook her head secretly, Ah Jing is taking the lead, yet this host's face is so complacent, it is really puzzling.

When she was bored, she suddenly heard a woman calling her behind her.

Chen Miao turned her head in surprise, but called out in surprise, "Sister **!"

Unexpectedly, the woman calling her was actually Jiang Yiru who used to bandage wounds together in the wounded barracks.

Jiang Yiru was wearing a taupe-colored silk shirt and a water-colored long skirt today, which made her complexion even fairer.

There are a few shining gemstone hairpins on the temples, and the thin powder is applied, which immediately makes people's eyes shine.

Chen Miao hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Why is Miss ** here? I haven't heard from you for so long, I really miss you."

Jiang Yiru pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Didn't I see you today? Let's go, I'll take you to the side for a drink. There are some stinky men here. Standing with them doesn't make you feel sour."

Chen Miao chuckled, and hurriedly said: "I came with my husband, since I want to leave, I have to inform him as well!"

Jiang Yiru laughed brightly: "Are you still afraid that you will lose it with me? Don't worry, the little girls will tell him, and you can follow me!"

Chen Miao was dragged away by her, only then did she realize that Jiang Yiru was actually Zhang Jian's wife.

She was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "Miss ** is actually a wife who joined the army. I was really disrespectful in the past."

Jiang Yiru laughed: "Silly sister, I just like it when you call me sister **! Let's go, sister Qin has been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Miao was even happier, and followed Jiang Yiru to another side hall next to the flower hall.

The decoration here is more delicate and soft than the flower hall next to it, and there are more potted calligraphy and painting decorations.

There are some female guests sitting or standing here, presumably they are the family members of the guests in front.

Sure enough, Qin Meiying was sitting in the crowd, and when she saw Chen Miao and Jiang Yiru coming in hand in hand, she immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Yiru said you would definitely come today, but I didn't believe it at first, but you really came."

Chen Miao asked in surprise, "How did Miss ** know that I was coming?"

Jiang Yiru chuckled: "At first I thought you were a bit smart, why are you so stupid today? Have you forgotten what my guy does?"

Qin Meiying said with a smile: "Your family's husband is working under her husband now. Are you afraid that she won't have a chance to know about your movements?"

Chen Miao said with a smile: "Since you already knew where I was and didn't come to look for me, I will always worry about you two."

Jiang Yiru said with a smile: "A while ago, it was indeed because of the situation. Every family was in a difficult situation. It was futile to meet each other when the situation was unstable. Now Yunzhou City has finally settled down, so I used the name of celebrating my master's birthday to invite you Everyone, please come and have fun."

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a faint female voice from the side, "Sister Chen, long time no see."

Chen Miao was slightly taken aback, turned her head to look, and saw a graceful and pitiful delicate beauty standing beside her at some point.

She was dressed in a light pink spring shirt, with several emerald hairpins on her hair, pearls on her earlobes, and a green bracelet that could ooze out a bend of water on her slender wrist.

This woman is not Yao Fupei, who is it?
