Chapter 14 Chang'e's Birthday

In the evening, the five princes invited all the generals to the banquet, and the Jiangwang Mansion was full of excitement, which was what he called "fun". The Wei brothers and sisters wore the same silver wide-sleeved gown, which added a touch of coolness in this early summer season. In addition to the generals, the officials who have already paid tribute to the officials in this Gusu City were also invited to the banquet. Moreover, in order to expand his contacts, Shen Minghuang allowed the generals to invite relatives and friends to come at will. But he never expected that someone would be very blind and invite a sloppy old man to come. The old man's hair was messy, his right middle finger was broken, and his cuffs were all oily, and he felt like his saliva was dripping on the plate when he ate.

Shen Minghuang was very displeased, and asked Zhan Shi in the palace: "Why did you let this person in?" Na Zhan hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this is a distinguished guest invited by General Wei. He really couldn't figure out what "distinguished guest" Wei Bingyue could know in Gusu, so he asked, "What is this person doing?" Na Zhan replied: "His name is Yu Jingxian, he used to be from the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and now he is a scholar." ”

Miscellaneous Bureau of the Ministry of Industry? That's just a seventh-grade official. Not to mention that in Huadu, where high-ranking officials gather, even in Gusu, it is not in the stream, not to mention that Wei Bingyue is an official from the Ministry of War, what did he do when he found a retired old man from the Ministry of Industry? What surprised Shen Minghuang even more was that when he first saw him, the Wei brothers and sisters saluted normally; When he saw other officials, Wei Bingyue only nodded slightly; But when the old man entered the door, he saw that the brothers and sisters of the Wei family immediately got up and respectfully saluted Yu Jing. And Wei Yangyang is a common person, and she practices men's etiquette, she just followed women's etiquette and gave Yu Jing a blessing first!

After three rounds of drinking, the Yale team began to perform the song, and when the song was over, the Wei brothers and sisters actually left their seats and went to toast to Yu Jingxian. Yu Jingxian not only did not get up, but pointed at the Wei family brothers and sisters, and said loudly: "The descendants of the Wei family, Nizi, I am happy today, and I will play the little game that the two of you practice on weekdays to the King of Fengquan and everyone!" ”

Shen Minghuang was very surprised, why did the banquet just start, and this old man was drunk? The performers at the banquet are all musicians and belong to the untouchables. The general soldiers of the Wei family in the past dynasties, after their death or death in battle, will be posthumously awarded the title of "Pingyuan Bo". Wei Shuping is a third-rank general soldier, and there are only nine people in Dayang, and Wei Bingyue himself is also a fourth-rank general in the imperial court. Yu Jingxian's tone was so unkind, he simply regarded the Wei family brothers and sisters as jugglers and pariahs, although he was a prince, he would not speak to the Wei family brothers and sisters in this tone, he was really afraid that the two brothers and sisters would jump up and smash this banquet. But what shocked him even more was that when the Wei family brothers and sisters heard Yu Jingxian's words, not only did they not get angry, but quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Then Wei Bingyue explained to Shen Minghuang: "Our Wei family has been practicing martial arts since childhood, this is just what my brother and sister usually practice, and they can't be on the stage, and I ask Your Highness and your lords to correct it." As he spoke, he instructed the musician to play a song "Protecting Mountains and Rivers".

It was a military piece, and it sounded impassioned. Wei Yangyang picked up the silver bell horsewhip on his waist and took the lead in attacking Wei Bingyue. The whip is about two meters long, the inside is made of cowhide, but the outside is wrapped in a layer of extremely thin steel, the appearance looks silver, ordinary swords cut it constantly, and the opponent's blade touches, it will make a crisp "ding" sound, like the sound of the wind blowing through the wind chime, hence the name silver bell. But the layer of steel was forged like the scales of a small snake, and was covered with sharp tooth edges, and if it were struck on a person's body, he was afraid that he would be whipped and bloody. This is a gift from her thirteenth uncle Wei Shu'an, and there is only one in the entire Wei family, so she cherishes it very much.

Now she will dance the tiger of this silver bell whip, and Wei Bingyue's body will not leak, Wei Bingyue has no weapon in his hand, only a jade fracture fan, he shook the fan, while looking at his sister for a long time, and did not fight back, only occasionally changed positions to avoid her attacks. The whip almost hit him in the face several times, and he just smiled and picked the whip away with a fan, looking very bad.

Wei Yangyang's moves are not ruthless, but Wei Bingyue seems to have eyes all over his body, and he can easily dodge them every time. The brother and sister had almost gone through more than thirty moves, but he had not been beaten once, and Wei Yangyang couldn't help but speed up her attack. Both of them were tall and thin, and both wore silver shirts, including whips and fans, as if two cranes were dancing under the moonlight.

Wei Bingyue saw her move, and after turning around to dodge, he bent down, the fan in his left hand was still shaking, but his right hand began to shoot, and his index finger popped out at the wine glass that the attendants had already placed on the table, and the wine glass was jumped three or four meters away by him, and landed on Shen Minghuang's table accurately. After he turned three times in a row, the three emerald green wine glasses fell on the table in front of Shen Minghuang, Wang Chengdan, and Yu Jingxian in turn, and he could even take the time to pick up the wine glasses on his table in the fourth circle and drink a glass.

After he finished drinking, the brother and sister switched offense and defense, Wei Bingyue used a fan as a weapon and suddenly attacked Wei Yangyang, and Wei Yangyang had to take the silver bell around him to protect himself. But she was a head shorter than Wei Bingyue, and on the top of her head, she showed flaws from time to time, and Wei Bingyue's fan picked the silver bell open. And the paper fan was full of Wei Bingyue's internal force, and it was fought against the horse whip without the slightest damage. When it provoked the silver bell, the speed was unusually fast, so that the white steel of the silver bell's body drew an arc in the air, like a silver snake swimming.

Wei Yangyang also used all his strength to prevent his silver bell from being entangled by the fan. Although she was constantly attacked by her brother, she was not in a hurry, and took advantage of the gap between the two sides to change moves, and also waved the silver bell to twitch the three wine glasses on the table, so that the cups also fell in front of Shen Minghuang, Wang Chengdan, and Yu Jingxian. Moreover, like Wei Bingyue, when she swung the whip for the fourth time, she wrapped the wine glass on her table and prepared to drink it all.

However, the whip brought the wine glass to her, and just as she was about to take the glass, Wei Bingyue reached out and snatched the wine glass, swallowing the wine in the cup in one gulp. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. At this time, the music stopped, and the brother and sister finished their performances, saluted Shen Minghuang and the others, and returned to their places.

Shen Minghuang applauded and said: "I've only heard that the Wei family's kung fu is a killing technique, but I don't know that there are such beautiful tricks, this set of performances, can there be a name?" Wei Bingyue said with a smile: "This is our brother and sister secretly practicing in private, toasting my father on his birthday, and making him happy, so it is called "Chang'e Birthday". ”

Although he is a man, his body is as light as a fairy in the moon, and Wei Yangyang's whipping technique is also very good, and he has danced in this hall hundreds of times, but not once he hit the surrounding tables, chairs and dishes. It is obviously insulting to compare him to Chang'e, but in order to pay tribute to his father's birthday, he doesn't care, which shows that he is a pure and filial person.

Wei Yangyang smiled at Yu Jingxian and said, "Old Yu, are you still satisfied?" Although she likes to laugh very much, she has never spoken to people in such a respectful tone, Yu Jingxian nodded: "Well, the cooperation of your brother and sister is much more tacit than three years ago." ”

The two brothers and sisters of the Wei family heard him praise like this, and they all had smiles on their faces. Shen Minghuang was even more puzzled in his heart, where is this Yu Jingxian sacred?
