Chapter 3 Congratulations

In the past few days, with the news coming out, the entire Xianyang City has been talking about the news that the Meng family is happy to have two sons, and the vision of the Mengfu that day of childbirth is united, so there are various versions, some say that God sent two immortals to our Qin State to help our Qin State become rich and strong, and it is said that it is the reincarnation of the Dragon King, because it was cloudy and windy that day, and came to Qin State to bless Qin Country with good weather and rain, all in all, it is still a sentence in the end: that is, the two sons born in Mengfu are here to help Qin State.

Immediately following the news that the Mongolian Mansion is going to hold a banquet to celebrate is scattered everywhere in Xianyang City, because of the status of the Mongolian Mansion, I believe that the royal palace nobles in the entire Xianyang City will definitely go to congratulate them, maybe the King of Qin will personally come to the scene to congratulate General Mengfu's happy grandson, and the Mongolian Mansion will definitely be lively at that time, so many people are thinking about how to enter the Mongolian Mansion. Because the people present are all princes and ministers, the Mongolian government will definitely be heavily guarded at that time, and the guests who visit will definitely be strictly checked, and Meng Fu is still in charge of the army, and not a single mosquito will definitely be able to fly in at that time.

Because there are a lot of things to be busy, the subordinates of the Mongolian Mansion got busy in advance after receiving the orders of the general at home, even if the manpower is still insufficient, so the housekeeper of the Mongolian Mansion, Meng Tan, asked Meng Fu for instructions on whether to temporarily recruit some subordinates and helpers who know how to cook and cook.

After listening to Meng Tan's words, Meng Fu thought for a moment, "It's okay to find some temporary subordinates, but you must check the background and background of the people you find, and you can't have people with bad intentions mixed in, and on that day, the princes and nobles of the entire Xianyang City will come to my Meng family, you must prepare this banquet for me." ”

"Yes, sir. Seeing that Meng Tan agreed, Meng Tan withdrew and prepared to gather the temporary subordinates.

While the Meng family was preparing for the banquet, a fast horse was sailing from Handan, Zhao State, to Xianyang City.

A few days after the Meng family gave birth to two children, the Meng family put on lights, and even the soldiers of the Meng family army who were responsible for guarding the gate changed into the red Mengjia army uniforms that represented the festivity. In all the armies of the Qin State, the army's clothing is generally black, the upper body is covered with armor, and the head is wearing a bronze military hat, in that era, the iron that is more cost-effective than bronze has not been highly productive, and the difficulty of refining is more troublesome than bronze, so iron armaments have always been the best and most powerful armies of the major vassal states, and even the capital where Zhou Tianzi is located is only the Tianzi Guard is qualified to configure iron armor. Military uniforms are generally not allowed to be changed privately, except for the private army of the ministers' palaces, although the Meng family is in charge of the Mengjia army here, but there is no Qin Wang Yu's order, and the Meng family does not dare to change the military uniforms privately, which is equivalent to treason in that era.

Finally, when the first beam of the sun shone on Xianyang City, the streets in front of Meng's house were already cleaned, and there were people who kept sprinkling water to clean them at night, so the bricks and stones paved on the street were clean. The road in front of the Mengfu is three zhang wide, extending to the entrance of the Qin Palace, and now the street that could have accommodated five horses and entering together is still a little narrower, and a red carpet at the gate of the Mengfu is paved to the middle of the road, looking inside from the gate, and the red carpet has been paved to the entrance of the main hall. Ten soldiers lined up on each side of the gate in turn, and twenty-five soldiers stood side by side across the street, all of whom were holding bronze halberds wrapped in red cloth, and all the soldiers had serious expressions, because today was the day of their general's great joy and the day of their future general, so there was no room for sloppiness.

Just after the hour, scattered guests came to the Mongol Mansion with generous gifts, and the subordinate in charge of the reception shouted out the official position and name of the guest every time he received a guest, so as to facilitate the special subordinates in the Mongol Mansion to come out to answer. At first, they were generally far away, and there were also officials who had relatively low official positions above the royal court but could also be called to visit. In addition to dignitaries, there were also many merchants, and during that period, many merchants approached powerful officials in their hands in the name of gifts, so that they could borrow the power in their hands to open the door in the future. The Meng family, which is still an upstart family in the capital of Qin, is different from many deep-rooted big families in Qin, so even if the status of Shangjia is low, there are many people who are willing to join in the excitement, and the gifts or gifts made by these people are not to be underestimated.

The guests who came to the Mongolian Mansion to participate in the wedding banquet began to dismount and walk far away from the Mongolian Palace, and those who took the chariot also got off the car and walked to the gate of the Mongolian Mansion to show their respect for the top three generals in the entire Qin State who had been holding heavy troops since the king ascended the throne. You must know that since the king ascended the throne, he came to Qin from Qi State, and walked step by step to the position of Shangqing today according to his military exploits, and he is one of the few ministers of other countries who can be in charge of the army. Therefore, Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji is very important to this general who is more than half a hundred years old, and after Meng Wu became an adult, he married his daughter to Meng Wu, speaking of which Meng Tian and Meng Yi are also the grandsons of Qin Wang Yingji.

Therefore, on this special day, in addition to coming to the Meng family to congratulate them, everyone wants to use the relationship of the Meng family to be able to see the majesty of King Qin and bring some benefits to themselves and their families.

Not long after, a subordinate came to report to Meng Wu and said: "Tell the young general, General Wang Jian has come to congratulate him." ”

When Meng Wu heard this, he said, "You go first to tell my father, and I will go to meet General Wang first." ”

The subordinate took the command and went away. Go into the house and report to the monks. Meng Wu straightened his clothes, walked down the steps at the entrance of the mansion, and walked in the direction where Wang Jian came.

"See General Wang. Meng Wu saluted Wang Jian who came and said, "It is really an honor for the dog that General Wang is willing to come." ”

Wang Jian helped Meng Wu up and said with a smile: "It's so polite to me, but I'm the closest but I didn't come first." I also hope that my nephew and my brother Meng will not be surprised. Now your father finally has a place to surpass me, and when we meet later, I guess your father will have to demonstrate to me, haha. ”

Meng Wu led Wang Jian to walk towards the mansion, and returned with a smile: "General Wang said that he was joking, Brother Wang Ben and I drank a few days ago, and my sister-in-law has already been examined by a doctor and said that she is pregnant, and by this time next year, General Wang will also hold his grandson." But I don't know why Brother Wang Ben didn't come with you today?"

Wang Jian said: "Originally, he was going to come, but yesterday the border pass sent a battle report, saying that there was a weapon fight in the border city bordering the Wei State, and two Wei soldiers were killed, and a few soldiers were injured on our side, so Ben'er rushed over after knowing it, and you also know that now the other six countries regard my Qin State as a tiger and wolf, and they will crusade against my Qin State together at every turn, in order to avoid war, so I let him go." And when he left, let me make amends to you on his behalf. ”

Meng Wu led Wang Jian into the Mongolian Mansion, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "How dare the little nephew, my generation of men must put state affairs first, and when Brother Wang comes back, I am looking for him to have a drink to make up for today's regrets." Old general, please, my father is waiting for you in the main hall, and the little nephew will go to the door to greet the guests, and the little nephew will not accompany you first. ”

Wang Jian smiled: "What's polite with me, okay, you go first, just wait for a few drinks with me." With that, he walked towards the main hall.

Seeing this, Meng Wu laughed in his heart that the old general was still so happy, and then turned around and returned to the gate of Mengfu to continue to greet the guests.
