Chapter 4: Above the Wedding Feast

As soon as Meng Wu walked to the door, he heard bursts of hearty laughter from the main hall, and he didn't need to think about it to know that such laughter belonged to Wang Jian and his father. In fact, Meng Wu understood in his heart that his father, as a minister of a foreign country, was able to have a place in the royal court of the Qin State, which was obtained by relying on his father's victories on the battlefield and the blood donation of the enemy, and today he was able to drink at the same table and work with Wang Qian, a general whose reputation in the Qin army was not inferior to Wu Anjun's white rise, and how difficult it was to work with the same dynasty, not to mention the dragon's exploits when the king first ascended the throne, and what a great gift and glory it was for the Meng family for the king to marry his daughter the princess of the Qin State to himselfใ€‚ Today's Meng family is a first-class nobleman in the dynasty, and it is not inferior to the royal nobles, and according to the regulations, the royal family members are not allowed to live in Xianyang City.

Meng Wu was greeting guests at the door, and soon received a report from his subordinates, saying that the king's chariot was coming in the direction of the house, and he should hurry up to prepare to pick up the car. Meng Wu's face was overjoyed after hearing this, and he said, "Go to the mansion to report to my father, and ask him to prepare for the ride with General Wang." After finishing his clothes, he sorted out the queue of the guards at the gate, and led all the subordinates at the door to wait on the road in front of the door, waiting for the arrival of King Qin's chariot.

After hearing this, they hurriedly walked out of the main hall and said to the crowd of people in the courtyard: "Colleagues, relatives and friends, the king is about to come to my Mongolian mansion, please follow me and General Wang to the gate of the mansion to pick up." After speaking, he made a gesture of please, walked with Wang Qian, and walked towards the gate of Mengfu.

Qin Wang Yingji sat in the luxury of Zhou Tianzi's chariot, the chariot drove on the most prosperous street in the royal capital Xianyang City, although it was the Warring States Period, but Xianyang City with its unique geographical location did not receive the impact of the war, so Xianyang City was the most prosperous among all the national capitals in the Guannai at that time, and the merchants of the other six countries came to exchange for the unique specialties of Qin. The first king Huiwen and Wang Yingsi once issued a decree that Xianyang City was open to all merchants of the other six countries, and the tax was reduced by 10%, but if it was found that he was engaged in espionage activities in the name of merchants, as long as he was caught, he would be killed. Therefore, it not only increased the prosperity of Xianyang City, but also let the merchants of the other six countries see the prosperity of Xianyang City, and then these people will return to their own countries to publicize what they have seen and heard in Qin for the rest of them for free, so that the rest of the six countries often have men who drag their families to join Qin, and Qin has not only gained taxes but also increased its population through these, so why not.

"King Qiqi, there is the Meng Mansion in front, and General Meng and General Wang are kneeling at the door to greet the king. Outside the chariot there was a chamberlain eunuch who said,

Qin Wang Yingji came back to his senses from his thoughts, "The widow knows, prepare a pedal for the widow, and the widow wants to go down." Ying Ji tidied up his clothes and commanded in the car.

Meng Fu and Wang Jian also walked to the gate of the Mengfu and saw that the King of Qin had just gotten off the chariot, so they hurriedly stepped forward with Meng Wu, and then fell to the ground in unison, "The ministers greet my king, the king Jin'an." โ€

Ying Ji smiled and said: "You don't have to be polite, the widow comes to see my grandson today, and you don't have to see outside." โ€

Meng Fu Wang Jian and everyone made a way out of the way, and Meng Fu made a gesture of invitation, "Please also invite the king to enter the palace, and the ministers will go and bring Tian'er and Yi'er to the king to see." โ€

King Yingji of Qin walked from the crowd to the Mengfu, and Wang Jian of Mengfu followed closely behind Yingji. Everyone entered the main hall of the Mengfu, Qin Wang Yingji sat on the seat, and the civil and military ministers sat on both sides, and after a while, someone brought up the elaborate tea and water, placed them on the table in front of everyone one by one, and slowly retreated.

Ying Ji looked around at everyone, and then asked Meng Qiu, "Meng Qing, why isn't Wu'er here?"

Meng Fu replied: "Enlighten my king, Wu'er will go to the backyard to bring Tian'er and Yi'er to watch with the king." โ€

Ying Ji said with a smile: "The purpose of the widow's coming today is to see the widow's daughter and the widow's grandson. โ€

All the courtiers below should be in unison, and then the whole living room is lively, you salute me and drink, so it's not lively.

After a while, Meng Wu walked into the hall with a baby in his arms, followed by a woman with a baby in her arms. Meng Wu took the woman to the first seat and said to King Yingji of Qin: "Your Majesty, this is the child of me and Yu'er, Yu'er is not very convenient now, so I asked me to bring Tian'er and Yi'er to the king's care." โ€

Qin Wang Yingji took Xiao Meng Tian from Meng Wu's arms, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Meng Yi in the woman's arms, and laughed: "Wu'er, they are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite." Look at these two grandsons of the widow, who are born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, they will definitely help my Qin State to calm the world and open up the four seas in the future. Then he said to the attendants who served beside him: "Take out the things prepared by the widow, and the widow will personally put them on for Meng Tian and Meng Yi." โ€

After hearing this, the chamberlain hurriedly took out two small sandalwood boxes from his inner pocket, and took out two jade pendants from them, one jade pendant was engraved into the word 'Tian' with seal script, and one jade pendant was a 'Yi' word, both jade pendants were crossed by a gold wire rope, and then handed the two jade pendants to King Yingji of Qin. Meng Wu took Meng Tian from Yingji's arms and hugged him in his arms. Yingji took the jade pendant engraved with the word 'Tian', carefully hung the jade pendant on Meng Tian's neck in swaddling clothes, and then hung another jade pendant on Meng Yi's neck, who was also in swaddling clothes.

Meng Wu hugged Meng Tian and bowed to Yingji, and said, "Thank you, Wang." โ€

Yingji helped Meng Wu up and said: "If the family doesn't talk to each other, shouldn't the widow prepare a gift for his grandson?

Meng Fu stood up from his seat and said, "Return to the king, yes." I think my Great Qin soldiers are all proud of the bloody battlefield, my Meng family since following the king into Qin, the king's grace, to lead the army to fight on the battlefield, for my Great Qin to open up the territory, my Meng family men should join my Great Qin army for generations to repay the king's kindness to my Meng family. But I'm ashamed to say that from Meng's father to Wu'er's generation, it is a single generation, but fortunately, Wu'er's generation has added two men to my Meng family. Therefore, the subordinates wanted Meng Tian to join my army when he grew up, and guard the border for the king, and Meng Yi stayed in the court to assist the king in governing my Great Qin. In this way, the two brothers will definitely be able to calm the world for the king and my Great Qin. โ€

At this time, Wang Jian also stood up from his seat and said to King Qin: "Your Excellency, your subordinates have a reluctant request, and I hope that the king will allow it." โ€

Yingji said: "General Wang, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. โ€

Wang Jian looked at Meng Fu, who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng is happy to have two beloved grandchildren, and my brother is really happy for you." As the elder brother said, Xiao Meng Tian is going to gallop on the battlefield in the future, rather than this, why don't you wait for him to grow up, and then follow me and learn the art of war with me, okay?" Seeing that Meng Tian had a smile on his face after hearing this, Wang Jian waved his hand at him, signaling him not to interrupt himself, and then said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates will also have grandchildren in the coming year, although I don't know if it is a boy or a girl, but I want to agree with Brother Meng first. โ€

Meng Fu hurriedly said, "General Wang, please speak." โ€

Wang Jian said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to have a kiss with my brother, if the old man gives birth to a boy in his family next year, let him marry the two little brothers as brothers, if it's a girl, I hope I can marry one of the two brothers as a wife, Meng brother, Meng Xian nephew, are you two willing?"

Meng Wu looked at his father, and then said, "But it's up to your father to decide." โ€

Meng Fu pondered for a moment and bowed to Wang Qian, "So it's decided, Tian'er can worship the old general as a teacher, it is a blessing from several generations, as for whether to worship brothers or in-laws in the future, everything depends on the will of heaven, haha......"

Seeing this, Qin Wang Yingji clapped his hands and laughed, and picked up the wine glass from the table in front of him: "In this way, it is decided, and the widow will be this witness." Come on, come on, everyone drinks this cup together. Then he drank the wine from his glass.

Meng Wu handed over the baby in his arms to the woman and took it to the backyard, then sat down under Meng Fu, raised his glass with his father, Wang Jian and all the ministers present, saluted Qin Wang Yingji together, and then drank the wine in the cup as well.

Just when King Yingji of Qin was drinking with everyone in the hall of Mengfu, a stagecoach drove through the gate of Xianyang City and ran in the direction of King Qin's palace.....
