Invincible son

Chapter 609 Chapter 608

Zhongshan Hou's Mansion is full of joy.

The story of Pei Yue taking a concubine had already spread throughout the capital. Although it was not a serious and happy event like getting married, it still couldn't stop the surging congratulations.

Some came to the door in person, some had expensive gift lists, and even Mo Haoli and Wang Pingzhang sent their children to send a gift, let alone the rest.Not to mention the two housekeepers who were born in the village, even Deng Zai and Wang Yong, who have been experienced for many years and have been well-known in the small and middle schools in the capital, have a hard time coping with this kind of situation.

Fortunately, Pei Yue had already expected this. Standing in front of the Zhongshan Marquis's Mansion today were the new commander Wei Rui of the Zangfeng Guard and Qin Xian, the commander of the Wu Ding Guard.Although they are all young, as Pei Yue's right-hand man, their future is boundless, so no one dares to underestimate them.

It's just that some guests had to be present by Pei Yue himself.

In the study outside, Pei Yue looked at the handsome young man across from him, and said cordially, "Brother Wang, don't come here without any problems."

Wang Jiuxuan smiled and said, "How dare you call me brother in front of Marquis Pei?"

Pei Yue said disapprovingly: "Of course others can't do it, but Brother Wang can."

Wang Jiuxuan shook his head and said, "Pei Hou is not afraid of the censor's criticism, but it doesn't mean that I can deal with it calmly."

Pei Yue laughed loudly, and said in admiration: "It turns out that there are people in this world that Brother Wang is afraid of."

Wang Jiuxuan wondered, "Where did you start talking about this?"

Pei Yue said with emotion: "It's been almost half a year since we left Lingzhou, but I often still think of that day in Guping Military City, when Brother Wang entered the festival hall alone to persuade Lu Min, and he still didn't change his face when he was armed. Isn't it worthy of me to call you "Brother Wang" for such a heroic act? Although I am reckless and dull by nature, I still know how to respect a truly great husband."

"It's over, it's over."

Wang Jiuxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked curiously: "Pei Hou, I ask myself that I have never offended you, why must I be set on fire?"

Only then did Pei Yue suppress his smile, and said lightly: "Today, this Marquis is just marrying Ru Furen, and it's not a big deal to marry a wife. Wei Guogong actually let Brother Wang go to the market to congratulate him with a carriage of gifts, which really makes this Marquis baffled Its solution."

He leaned his upper body slightly forward, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, please teach me, who puts whom on fire?"

Wang Jiuxuan suddenly realized, and immediately apologized: "So that's the case, you have misunderstood, Marquis Pei. I came here abruptly today to congratulate the family's happy event from the bottom of my heart. As for the other reason for the gift, I will wait for a while to talk about it. Hou is not happy, so I can only speak boldly."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Brother Wang is right."

Wang Jiuxuan said with a little embarrassment: "I heard that Pei Hou personally wrote a book of seven strategies, and the generals in the northern camp felt like a treasure. My grandfather wanted to see the mystery, but he knew that Pei Hou was very strict in governing the army. I have obtained permission to pass on this exercise manual privately. Therefore, I have the audacity to come here today, only hoping to get closer to Pei Hou so that I can ask for a copy of Seven Strategies in the future."

"That's all?"

"It's true."

Pei Yue suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Wang, brother Wang, you almost scared me."

Wang Jiuxuan asked puzzledly, "Why did Marquis Pei say that?"

Pei Yue sighed: "I thought the Duke of the State would not like me as a junior, so he was going to kill me first and then beat him to death. Who would know that the old man is the white jade pillar of the beam, and his arms are thicker than my thighs. If that day really comes , I’m afraid I can only retire and return to my hometown immediately in order to save my own life.”

Wang Jiuxuan couldn't help but said: "Pei Hou, I didn't know you like to joke so much. I never saw it when I was in Lingzhou."

The atmosphere then became harmonious.

After laughing and chatting for a while, Wang Jiuxuan said goodbye: "Today is Marquis Pei's big day, I should have stayed here for a glass of wedding wine, but there are still some trivial matters at home, I hope Marquis Pei will forgive me."

Pei Yue said casually: "Brother Wang, you don't need to be too polite. I'll send someone a copy of Qilue some other day."

"Then thank you Pei Hou."

"It should be so, I dare not say thank you."

After sending Wang Jiuxuan outside the study, Pei Yue stood on the porch with deep and distant eyes.

Deng Zai came to report: "Young master, the eldest lady is here, drinking tea and chatting with Miss Ye in the back house."

Pei Yue nodded.

Deng Zai said again: "Master, it's getting late."

Pei Yue took a light breath and said with a smile: "Get ready to go, you follow me to meet your relatives."

A look of joy appeared on Deng Zai's face, and he said happily, "Yes!"

Today the mansion was crowded with people, Qin Xian and Wei Rui were at the gate to welcome the guests, and Xue Meng, Tang Linfen and other military generals were in charge of accompanying the guests in the front yard.In addition, because there was a big banquet to entertain the guests, many middle-ranking generals from Zangfengwei and Wudingwei volunteered to come to the mansion to help out, and Meng Longfu was in charge of such general affairs.

Meng Longfu was cautious and meticulous, and arranged everything in an orderly manner. Even Wang Yong, who is now the general manager of the Xiangyun, was convinced to help him.

Pei Yue came to the door of the instrument and saw a young general in the distance leading people to carry tables and chairs, so he waved to him.

The young general ran over quickly, performed the military salute meticulously, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty!"

Pei Yue looked him up and down, and asked with concern, "Are you still used to it in the capital?"

The young general's name is Jia Cheng, he carried the flag for Pei Yue in the western border, and later transferred to Wei Rui's central army, although he is young, he is considered battle-tested.He said excitedly: "My Lord, my subordinates are very used to it."

Pei Yue nodded, and said again: "Is your sister here today?"

Jia Cheng said in embarrassment: "Little sister pestered my subordinates last night, and she must come to the mansion to help Lord Hou do things, but as soon as she came today, she went to the backyard, saying that she wanted to help Mrs. Ru clean the yard, and probably played with Miss Peach Blossom gone."

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Jia Jia is only ten years old, and it's natural to love to play. Besides, she was very close to Miss Lin when she was in Lingzhou. If she wants to come to the mansion to talk to Miss Lin in the future, you, a brother, can't stop her." on."

Jia Cheng quickly shook his head and said, "Subordinates dare not."

"Okay, let's go to work."

Pei Yue reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Jia Cheng seemed extremely excited, and then worked harder.

In the front yard, the wedding party was ready, waiting for Pei Yue's order to set off.

In fact, this move is a bit nonsense, because it is clearly written in "Liang Li Nei Ze": To receive a wife is to marry a wife, and to accept a favor is to say that a person marries a concubine.Taking a concubine is different from marrying a wife. The latter needs to go through a set of serious rituals, and the status of the main wife is recognized and protected by the court.

Taking a concubine is not the case, not to mention that a concubine's room does not have any legally recognized rights, and no one has ever taken such a serious matter like Pei Yue in the past.

Greeting relatives, also known as welcoming in person, is the last procedure in the Six Ceremonies, that is, the man arrives at the woman's home before noon, and after completing a series of procedures, he takes his wife back in a sedan chair. Only in this way can the marriage ceremony be completed.

It's just that there is no restriction on Pei Yue, and the only elder sister Pei Ning who agrees with him obeys him in everything, and Lin Shuyue has only one cousin who dare not talk too much, so no one has stood up to criticize him even if he made a fool of himself. advise.

Pei Yue was about to get on his horse and lead the welcoming team to set off when he saw Wei Rui hurrying over with a solemn expression.

Wei Rui walked up to him and said hastily: "Master Hou, an adult came to the gate of the mansion and asked Lord Hou to go out to meet him. The last general and Commander Qin invited him to sit in the mansion for a while, but he firmly refused."

Pei Yue frowned slightly and said, "Who?"

Wei Rui replied, "Master Jian Rongjian, Supervisor of Charcoal Temple."
