The General Is As Urgent As Law

The Zuoxiang Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons. It was the 55th birthday of Zuo Xiang Shangxu.Wei Yuanting and his party came not too early or too late, and the servants of the Shang family saw Wei Yuanting and bowed to each other with a smile.Wei Yuanting didn't put on any airs, and said softly: "Wei Yuanting and his second son are here to celebrate his birthday."

The servant naturally knew that Wei Yuanting had a good relationship with Shang Xu, and this was not Wei Yuanting's first visit.But he also knew that General Wei Yuanting had only one son who was notoriously ignorant, and he came to celebrate his birthday today, and he claimed to be the "second son", which is really weird.The servant looked behind him, and sure enough, there were two young masters standing on the left and the right.He also recognized one, it was Wei Tianqi, the son of General Wei, and he had never heard of the other one.

The servant didn't want to be too surprised, lest he lose his manners, he was only surprised for a moment, and immediately shouted inside: "General Wei brought his second son to—"

The servant was the only one who was surprised at first, but when the sound came out, everyone who heard it looked towards the door.

"Didn't General Wei only have one son?"

"I've heard that too. I've never heard anyone mention that he has a son before."

"That's weird."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, but Wei Yuanting didn't seem to hear it, and ordered his servants to bring congratulatory gifts, and walked in with Wei Lin and Wei Tianqi.

Although Shang Xu was only 55, his temples were already graying due to overwork. Hearing Wei Yuanting's arrival, he said "excuse me" to the person who was talking next to him, and immediately walked towards Wei Yuanting.He celebrates his birthday today, wearing a dark red dress, his eyes are bright, and he looks radiant.Seeing him approaching, Wei Yuanting quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Shang."

"General Wei came here specially to celebrate the old man's birthday, why should he be so polite." Shang Xu also bowed to him with a smile.

"It's Shang's birthday, why doesn't Mr. Wei come here? I don't think it's too late for Mr. Wei to come." After Wei Yuanting finished speaking, Wei Tianqi also stepped forward in a very sensible way: "This junior is here to congratulate Mr. Shang on his birthday, and I wish you all the best." Shang Daren is as blessed as the East Sea, and his life is longer than Nanshan."

Naturally, Shang Xu had met Wei Tianqi before, and he smiled until the corners of his eyes became tighter. He said to Wei Tianqi, "Good boy, good boy."

Wei Yuanting put his hand around Wei Lin's waist without any trace, and gently pushed forward.

Wei Lin didn't know there was such a rule, and was pushed out by Wei Yuanting if he didn't pay attention.Wei Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and bowed to Shang Xu: "The junior Wei Lin has met Mr. Shang, and wish him good luck like the East China Sea and a longer life than Nanshan."

Shang Xu's smile was mixed with some doubts: "Who is this young master?"

Wei Yuanting said: "This is the youngest son of a certain Wei. He has only been sent to Xiangcheng recently because he has been in Jiangling all the time."

Shang Xu nodded with a smile: "He is also a good-looking talent. Blessed is General Wei."

"The business minister is absurd."

The few people had just finished chatting a few words, and the servant at the door reported again: "The eldest prince has arrived—"

Shang Xu immediately said: "The old man excuse me first."

"Businessman, please."

After seeing off Shang Xu, Wei Yuanting and his party were led by the servants to the seats.Wei Lin looked around for a while, and there were quite a lot of people. He glanced at at least twenty tables, all of them were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and looked like dignitaries.

Wei Tianqi was quite familiar with many courtiers and princes, after greeting Wei Yuanting, he went to chat with those princes and buddies to reminisce about the old days.Only Wei Lin was left sitting next to Wei Yuanting, drinking tea cup after cup without saying a word.The last time Wei Lin came to this kind of occasion was when Xue Ziqin got married three years ago.

He recalled the events at that time in a daze, and felt that Xue Ziqin's wife was really pitiful, she was obviously a princess, but she looked like a widow.Xue Ziqin didn't go to the bridal chamber on the night of the wedding, and he probably won't go later.After that, Xue Ziqin was assigned to the border, how could he have time to have sex with his new wife?

Many people came to say hello to Wei Yuanting.Wei Yuanting was naturally used to such occasions, and the smile on his face never faded, which made Wei Lin shy.This also made Wei Lin suffer. Every time someone came to greet Wei Yuanting, Wei Yuanting would introduce his little-known son to others.It made him laugh too, until his face was sore.

I thought it was just a meal, Wei Lin had been waiting for the banquet, but Wei Yuanting suddenly said to Wei Lin when no one came to say hello to him: "Over there is Ren Gui, the doctor of the imperial history; Book servant Liu Yunshan...that is the First Prince, Cen Lishang, who is also the object of our Wei family's assistance, and the Shang Chancellor is his master."

Wei Lin followed the people he said, looked at them one by one, and responded casually.In fact, looking from afar, these people all look similar, the only recognizable thing is the difference in clothing, but if they change clothes, Wei Lin knows that he will not be able to recognize them.

Wei Yuanting went on to say: "That young man is right minister Yuanzhi, Xue Changfeng belongs to the party."

Wei Lin was confused, and said bluntly: "Why are you telling me these things, I will not become an official in the court."

Wei Yuanting ignored him, and continued to say: "You just need to remember that it is enough to assist the eldest prince to become the prince."

"Oh."

Shang Xu's birthday banquet, on the surface, seemed to be a gathering of important officials of the imperial court, exchanged a few words of greeting and had a meal, which could also be regarded as promoting feelings.In fact, there are many parties. Just by looking at where they are seated and the way three or five people get together to talk, you can know who is in the same party and who is against whom.

"General Xue arrived—"

The servant at the door yelled again, and Wei Lin saw Shang Xu leave from the eldest prince and head towards the gate.Looking at Wei Yuanting beside him, his face turned blue instantly, but the smile on his face did not diminish by half.

The more you look at it, the more infiltrating it becomes.

Xue Changfeng exchanged a few words with Shang Xu, and the servant still led them to the table, but he didn't expect that they happened to lead them to Wei Yuanting's table.Wei Lin couldn't help staring at him, and was afraid that Xue Changfeng would say something strange if he recognized him, so he moved back and hid behind Wei Yuanting, watching quietly.

Which official will occupy which seat is naturally arranged long ago, and they are all of similar status, so they will sit at the same table.For example, the First Prince and Prime Minister Yuanzhi naturally sat at the same table with Shang Xu, so generals like Wei Yuanting and Xue Changfeng naturally also sat at the same table.

Seeing Xue Changfeng getting closer, Wei Lin noticed that beside him, there was another person slightly behind.Judging by the figure, it should be a woman, and the woman held Xue Changfeng's arm, because it was already dark, I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly.Wei Lin's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and even his eyebrows trembled unconsciously.

There were quite a few generals sitting at their table, and Wei Yuanting also quietly introduced to Wei Lin that there were two of the three great names of the Xuan Kingdom, which shows how high Shang Xu's status is.

Wei Yuanting pretended to be indifferent, and instead of looking at Xue Changfeng, he picked up the tea on the table and tasted it, while looking elsewhere.

Wei Lin naturally understood the intention of his action.He and Xue Changfeng had been at odds for a long time, and it was no longer a private matter, but a publicly known matter.Ever since, whoever greets first becomes a kind of competition, and the person who greets first must lose face.But Wei Lin really couldn't understand, what's so arguable about it.

After thinking about it, Xue Changfeng had already seated at the table with the woman beside him.

Wei Yuanting was still looking elsewhere, and Wei Lin leaned behind him deliberately with his face sideways. Anyway, he could hide as much as he could. It would be best to keep his head down and eat without worrying about anything after eating.

But Xue Changfeng greeted him boldly, "Brother Wei, long time no see."

Hearing this, Wei Yuanting put down his teacup and turned his head, smiling all over his face, "General Xue..." But before he could say hello, his expression froze.

Wei Lin kept staring at the side. The woman didn't know what she was looking at. After Xue Changfeng spoke, the woman also turned her head and grinned.

Wei Lin was stunned, and without even thinking about it, an exclamation came from his mouth: "Mother?!"

Seeing him, the woman was also surprised and said, "Lin'er?!"

All the generals at this table heard the exclamation of the two, and the faces of Wei Yuanting and Xue Changfeng were ashen.Four people, you look at me, I look at you, no one talks anymore.

Wei Lin's heart almost collapsed, what's the matter?He and his father met his father's nemesis and his mother, and the four of them sat at the same table for dinner.

In the end, it was Fu Yang who broke the silence first and said, "Why is Lin'er here?"

Wei Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry and asked back: "I should ask my mother about this..."

Three years ago at Lianshuimen, Wei Lin met Fu Yang once, and the two chatted a bit, and then separated.There is no way around this, since he was not around since childhood, even though Wei Lin has always remembered this mother in his heart, when he appeared in front of him, he would not know how to express his emotions because of too little contact.

He remembered that at that time, Fu Yang was probably asking him something about recent years.

Wei Lin seemed to be telling the truth, and he also told all about Xue Changfeng's assassination in Xiangcheng, just because he was curious about why his mother knew Xue Changfeng.But Fu Yang didn't explain anything after listening, just told a few words to take care of herself, and the reunion was over.

Oh, Fu Yang also helped him settle the tea money for the kiln.

It's really a good mother to think so... Wei Lin couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.Just when Wei Yuanting turned his head and saw him smiling, his anger surged up immediately, and he cursed in a low voice: "Why are you laughing, is it funny?"

Fu Yang frowned slightly and said, "You are upset, why are you scolding the child?"

Wei Yuanting turned his head to look at Fu Yang again. I haven't seen you for 20 years. Not only is Fu Yang not old, but she is more charming than the girl she was back then, but she is sitting next to Xue Changfeng.

What is the wish for, Fu Yang is Wei Yuanting's wish.

Come to celebrate Shang Xu's birthday properly, but the table of military generals at this birthday banquet turned into a Shura field for the Xue and Wei families.

Xue Changfeng had met Wei Lin before, so he naturally knew that Wei Lin was serving under Xue Ziqin, so he asked, "Why is Xiao Wei in the capital, not Ziqin?"

Xue Changfeng said this very well.The other people at the table didn't say a word, they only dared to watch the "battle" in front of them. As soon as Xue Changfeng said this, a lot of information was revealed: Wei Yuanting's youngest son was originally in the army of Xue's family, which is too ironic.

How could Wei Yuanting allow himself to be at a disadvantage, and immediately said: "General Laoxue is bothering you, Quanzi went to understand for me how strict the northern army is, so that my Shangzhou army can learn."

Xue Changfeng smiled slightly, and responded: "Brother Wei is so eager to learn, which makes Xue feel cold. I hope he can help Brother Wei a little bit, so that the border of Shangzhou will not be invaded by Wuqu like last time."

The two generals on the table began to exchange words with each other, Wei Lin dared not speak, Fu Yang did not want to speak.The mother and son looked at each other for a long time across the delicious and sumptuous dishes on the table.

Wei Lin is not stupid, and there are some things that he didn't understand before. Looking at the scene now, he also understands the general idea.

His mother must have a relationship with Xue Changfeng.Based on his understanding of Wei Yuanting, if he really likes his mother, he may not be able to do things like forcefully take medicine. If the two are in love and have children, why didn't the mother marry Wei Yuanting to be his mother? What about my concubine?

Thinking of these emotional entanglements, Wei Lin thought of Jiang Yelai again.

Yes, in order to avoid such troubles in the future, that Qing Sha should have been sent away earlier.
