Chapter 56
Since Zhao Dun had just died, Zhao Shuo, who was about to mourn, did not appear at the banquet.
The son is also a minister, so Wei Xiang is the minister of Zhao Dun's minister. Zhao Dun's death had no effect on Wei Xiang's wedding.
But since it was a relative of the Zhao family and Zhao Shuo's son, of course someone still had to come.
The person who came was Lou Ying.
Wei Xiang had a headache when he saw Lou Ying. This young man, who was even more young man than Zhao Shuo, was unpredictable in the way he behaved. He was simply a time bomb that he didn't know when it would explode.
Lou Ying laughed and patted Wei Xiang on the shoulder: "Very good, very good. Even Shibo's daughter can be married. This is to help Wei and Zhao!"
Lou Ying's words were loud, which made many people look at him. However, after discovering that the person who spoke was Lou Ying, everyone turned back their eyes tacitly and drank as usual.
Wei Xiang smiled brightly: "Doctor Lou is coming, and it is really bright. Please come inside, please sit down."
Lou Ying shrugged her shoulders, untied a sword from her waist, and said, "This sword is a sword given to me by my father back then, called 'Aohou'. Today I will give it to you as a gift."
Wei Xiang was a little surprised: "Since it was Zhao Chengzi's thing, how dare Wei Xiang take away the love of the doctor?"
A broken bronze sword is used as a favor. Lou Ying, do you take yourself too seriously?
Lou Ying laughed loudly, forcibly stuffed Ao Roar sword into Wei Xiang's hand, and said seriously: "How can a man be a real man with an unknown sword? Since I said I would give you it, there is no reason to take it back."
Wei Xiang was still waiting to refuse, but Lou Ying had already taken the opportunity to whisper beside Wei Xiang: "The sword you used to kill Xu Ke before was very good. Doctor will exchange this Ao Roar Sword for yours, won't you agree?"
Wei Xiang's body stiffened. Looking at Lou Ying who was smiling in front of him, he felt the urge to punch this face.
Forget it, get married today, the groom needs to be generous...
Speaking of which, Wei Xiang is not a loss. The benefits of Zhao Shuai's sword to Zhao Xiang, such as the Zhao retainer, are self-evident, but Wei Xiang still feels very unhappy.
As soon as Lou Ying was sent away, the second heavyweight doctor came to the door.
Luan Shu, the younger brother of Luan Dun, the lower army general of Jin State.
"Congratulations to the son of the chaotic son and the daughter of Xi Bo for getting married. It's really a match made by heaven!" Luan Shu held Wei Xiang's hand, with a gentle smile and a close expression, and it looked like he had known each other for twenty years.
Facing this future Jin Premier, Prime Minister Wei did not dare to neglect any: "Thank you, Doctor Luan for his good words, please do not want to do anything."
The gift Luan Shu gave was a cloud-patterned jade pendant. He smiled at Wei Xiang and said, "This pendant was given to me by my brother when he was a gift from the coming-of-age ceremony. Today I will give it to the son of the Zhongsha. I hope that this jade will accompany the son of the Zhongsha to a higher level in the near future. One day, you and I will sit side by side in the hall to discuss national affairs."
Wei Xiang looked surprised and said, "It turned out to be Luan Bo's gift, how precious is the doctor's personal belonging? Wei Xiang was ashamed and dared not accept it."
Why do you give them all second-hand goods? Can't you come with some first-hand goods?
Luan Shu laughed loudly, took out a bronze dagger and said, "Zhongsha, this thing is a gift my brother ordered me to send. My brother originally wanted to come, but he couldn't do it because Zhao Xuanzi was filial. It's okay if the Zhongsha's son just took it. If there is time in the future, he would just come to Luan's mansion to drink and practice swords together."
Wei Xiang was really surprised now. He took the bronze dagger and cloud-patterned jade pendant from Luan Shu's hand with both hands and bowed to Luan Shu: "Thank you, Wei Xiang, thank Luan Bo, Doctor Luan for his tribute."
Due to his identity, Luan Shu attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared, and the conversation with Wei Xiang did not hide from others.
Amid the noise of the banquet, some people were a little surprised and started to discuss it.
"It's not surprising that Doctor Zhao's House came to give him a sword, but Luan actually valued Prime Minister Wei so much?"
"Luan Bo is one of the six ministers. What a noble person? It is really unexpected that he actually gave a gift to a sergeant as an envoy."
"The Luan family has only followed the leader of the Zhao family over the years. Luan Bo even kept a filial piety for Zhao Xuanzi. It seems that it is not surprising that Wei Prime Minister was the concubine's son of Zhao Mengzhong."
"This is wrong. Luan Bo is not a retainer of the Zhao family. Even Zhao Meng is now under Luan Bo, and he needs the courtesy of the following subordinates. Why should he treat a mere minister of the Zhao family so politely?"
"Then why do you think this is?"
"It seems... Luan Bo is very optimistic about Wei."
"Why can't Luan Bo be optimistic about Wei Xiang?"
"Oh……"
Wei Xiang didn't know why the Luan brothers were so supportive, but this did not affect his polite invitation to Luan Shu into the room and sat next to Lou Ying.
Looking at Luan Shu who was having a good chat with Lou Ying, Wei Xiang suddenly thought of a question: "Isn't Luan Shu also filial to Zhao Dun?"
However, Wei Xiang quickly lost the mind to think about this issue.
Two guests who completely surprised Wei Xiang.
The two gentlemen of Xun came together.
"Congratulations to Brother Wei, and congratulations to Brother Wei." The older Zhongxing Geng was obviously more sleek in his life, and his smile on his face was more harmonious.
In contrast, Zhifu's smile seemed much stiffer.
Wei Xiang never expected these two people to come. After all, he and Zhihu still had the hatred of "taking off their wives" to some extent.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, but fortunately both sides avoided this issue. After a brief conversation, the Xun Gemini also took the seat.
The smile on Zhongxing Geng's face remained unchanged. After saying hello to Luan Shu and Lou Ying, he whispered to Zhiyou: "How do you feel?"
Zhiyou picked up the Jiujue in front of him, his face still looked a little unfavorable, and he finished it in one sip: "I now understand why my father said he wanted to experience the feeling of failure. This feeling is really uncomfortable."
Zhang Xinggeng laughed and said softly: "There are more than once or twice in Xun's failure? But you have to remember that now our Xun is the second place among the six ministers! Failure is not scary, but what is scary is that he doesn't even have the courage to face failure."
Zhiyou curled his lips, and it was another fine wine that was touching his stomach. Obviously, on this occasion, his interest in drinking is greater than speaking.
The arrival of Xun's Gemini obviously surprised many people, and the discussion started again.
"The Xun and Zhao were also considered to have a broken-up relationship. Unexpectedly, the Zhao family's retainers also had the Xun gentlemen to celebrate."
"Hey, Xun... isn't that so versatile?"
"The Zhao family, Luan family, and Xun family have already arrived. The bride is the daughter of the Shi family. It is surprising that Wei Xiang, as a sergeant, received so many congratulations from the nobles."
"Is that true? I want me to say that it is just Shibo's face."
"You said, will the other two noble families send people to come?"
“No…”
The voice suddenly stopped.
A burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
"It is really gratifying for the son of the Nakamasato to marry a wife."
Among the six ministers, the younger brother Xiangu, Xianma, appeared in everyone's sight and held Wei Xiang's hand with a smile on his face.
