While several children were chatting, Li Hansheng had already led Shen Zhi to sit down. Li Hansheng saw Mingjia standing among several older children and said, "Mingjia, come over here!"

Mingjia turned around and smiled in response to Li Hansheng, then looked back at Shen Qing and bowed in a genuine manner, "Mingjia, thank you, Brother Shen, for saving me!"

After Ming Jia finished speaking, before Shen Qing could react, he turned to look at his brother and said, "Brother, I'm going to Uncle Li first!"

Ming Jia trotted away, and Ming Jun suddenly assumed the identity of the young master of the Duke's Mansion and wanted to entertain Xu Honglei and Shen Qing. "Brother Shen, Brother Xu, please come this way!"

Shen Qing looked at his father who was sitting on the chair where the little girl was sitting just now, then nodded and followed Ming Jun to the other side.

Xu Hongfei and Thirteen, who were standing in the field, had been standing awkwardly for a while. When everyone was seated, they found that they were still going to compete.

The two looked at each other and suddenly had a tacit understanding. The two struck quickly, increasing the speed of their moves, and soon passed another twenty moves.

Finally, the two of them took a few steps back and saluted each other with fists in their hands. The first game ended in a draw. Returning to the crowd of guards from each mansion, Shen Hongfei and Shisan looked at each other again. Well, the draw is good.

Ming Jia stood beside Li Hansheng, feeling a little unhappy. Although she had thought clearly about the Xu family's intentional approach, she still felt a little unhappy, so Mingjia now wanted to defeat the Xu family's prestige in the martial arts competition.

Li Hansheng turned his head and looked at Mingjia helplessly. He called Mingjia to his side, but he was worried that Mingjia would not be able to help himself. After all, he still remembered Ming Jia's soft sword swordsmanship, which according to Xu Shengyuan came from the Shen family's swordsmanship.

Xu Shengyuan no longer cares about winning or losing in the guard competition. Now he just wants to be happy for his wit.

"Hmph! Shen Zhi's reason is really lame. I have guessed it a long time ago. Shen Zhi, Ning Shihui and Li Hansheng are all the prince's people. These people are bound together, so I have joined in."

Anyone who is not a fool can understand the current situation in the court. The position of the crown prince and heirloom is very secure. Before the crown prince ascends the throne, standing in line can also have the effect of following the dragon.

Xu Shengyuan was very proud, and Shen Zhi looked puzzled. If his son went to someone else's house to compete with someone, and the result was only a draw, and the other person was a guard, Shen Zhi would be upset to death.

The next few competitions were between the ordinary guards of the two houses, and the victory and defeat were basically 50-50. Shen Zhi watched while weighing the strength of the guards in the two mansions.

Ming Jun, Shen Qing and Xu Honglei stood on the other side of the crowd. The three of them were all martial arts experts. When they got together, they would inevitably comment on the skills of each guard.

Shen Qing rarely spoke, but every time he made comments he was very knowledgeable and could point out the characteristics and flaws of each guard to the point. Ming Jun and Xu Honglei looked at each other and chose to shut up.

It soon became dark, and Li Hansheng took advantage of the opportunity to stay with Xu Shengyuan and his son and Shen Zhi and his son to have dinner together.

When Shen Zhi saw that the competition was over, he wanted to take his son back for dinner, but Xu Shengyuan pulled him back, "Old Shen, don't leave! It's rare that you are not on duty today, let's have a drink together."

Shen Zhi frowned and looked at Xu Shengyuan, "Old Shen? I am not yet thirty-five years old, and I am the youngest among this group of generals. Why am I now Old Shen!"

Butler Li came over to send word that the food and wine were ready.

Li Hansheng led the people to the hall. Butler Li went directly to Ming Jun and told Ming Jun that the table for several children had been arranged next to the hall.

Ming Jun paused for a moment and looked at Butler Li with a smile, "Okay, thank you Grandpa Li!"

Mingjia followed his brother Mingjun. Mingjun looked at Mingjia, whose forehead was still a little red, and asked, "Jiajia, did you really not get hit?"

Mingjia comforted her brother in a very relaxed tone, "Okay! Brother Shen is a human being, not a wall! I rubbed my forehead myself. By the way, brother, go to my place tonight and write me a few words!" "

Mingjun felt relieved when his sister said that his forehead was fine. As for mindlessly writing the inscription, Mingjun didn't need to ask any more questions and just nodded in agreement.

In the hall, Li Hansheng, Xu Shengyuan and the unexpected Shen Zhi, three people who would never be able to get together, magically sat together drinking and chatting.

Ming Jun is entertaining Xu Honglei and Shen Qing here. Although Shen Qing is a talkative man, Xu Honglei talks a lot! Ming Jia sat between her brothers Ming Jun and Shen Qing, opposite Xu Honglei who was talking endlessly.

The age difference between Mingjia, Shen Qing and Xu Honglei was too big, so it was inappropriate to talk about any topic, so Mingjia once again immersed herself in delicious food.

While Ming Jun was dealing with Xu Honglei's topic, he asked Shen Qing not to be polite, and at the same time he didn't forget to peel the shrimp for Ming Jia.

Xu Honglei talked about the experience of following his father Xu Shengyuan to the military camp, which suddenly attracted Mingjun's full attention. In fact, Ming Jun once followed his master Xie Boyuan to the military camp of General Xu Shengyuan.

Of course, the main reason was that the arrangement of Xu Shengyuan's military camp was different from that of other generals. This was something Xie Boyuan told Ming Jun later. This made Ming Jun very regretful that he did not take a good look at General Xu's military camp at that time.

As Mingjia ate, he suddenly noticed that the direction in which the shrimps were handed to him had changed. Before, they were handed from his left side, but now they were handed to the right side.

Mingjia looked to the right with a very complete large shrimp in her mouth, and happened to see Shen Qing about to hand over a peeled shrimp.

Mingjia subconsciously showed her signature smile and wanted to say thank you, but found that she still had a shrimp in her mouth. I froze for a moment and quickly lowered my head to eat the shrimp.

"Thank you, Brother Shen! But I can peel it myself!" Mingjia said, holding his own small bowl with both hands to catch a shrimp in Shen Qing's hand.

Ming Jun had recovered from Xu Honglei's topic at this time, and when he turned around, he found that his sister had just "robbed" the shrimps from Shen Qing.

Mingjun looked up directly to look for Mrs. Yan. With Mrs. Yan here, it would be impossible for Mingjia to be allowed to appear and snatch other people's shrimps. As a result, Mingjun looked around but couldn't find Mrs. Yan.

Mingjun sighed a little, but his sister was lucky. Ming Jia put down the bowl and turned to look at her brother Ming Jun. Only then did she realize that the person peeling the shrimps was Shen Qing!

Mingjun looked at his sister with an innocent expression, eh! It's okay, this is my younger brother! Mingjun began to learn to comfort himself like Mrs. Yan.

The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host. Because Mingjun and Mingjia were leaving early tomorrow morning, the banquet broke up early.

Ming Jun followed Ming Jia to his sister's yard, saw the picture of a thatched cottage in the mountains painted by Ming Jia, and recognized the person in the painting at a glance as Li Hansheng. Ming Jun thought for a moment, then took up his pen and wrote two lines of poetry in the blank space of the painting.

"The wandering clouds and wild cranes are really at ease, disarming themselves and returning to the fields to find peace."
