Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Arrival of the Guests
Soon Lin Zhiwei's fiftieth birthday will come, and today can be described as very lively, even the city is beating gongs and drums.
People who know what is going on naturally don't feel the fuss, but people who don't know the reason for it are asking this and that, and they don't know what's going on, and even some children know about it.
"I'll go, what's going on today, is something happening in such a big battle in the city?" One asked for some reason.
"You've just been in the state for a short time, haven't you?"
The man nodded.
"Today is the fiftieth birthday of the Marquis of Tobu, and you say that the battle is not big."
"It's all good, when the time comes, there will be a lot of dignitaries and nobles in the capital, if you are lucky, you may be able to see the emperor."
"The emperor will come too?"
"That's nature, you don't look at what kind of character Tobu Hou is."
The three major states of Weizhou, Kiju, and Lingzhou were all Tobu Marquis, and in South Vietnam, except for Tobu Marquis, who else had such treatment.
It seems that this rhetorical person still knows Dongwu Hou well, and some one-sided things are still known, of course, this is not such a big deal, after all, this can be said to be well known, but those people of the younger generation don't know, they only know that Dongwu Hou has a very good reputation.
Hearing the explanation, the man also showed a surprised expression, it seemed that he knew these things for the first time.
"All three states?"
"Both."
"You just take a good look, ordinary people like us may never be able to see those powerful figures in our lifetime, but today can be regarded as an eye-opener."
"Look, Governor Kishu and Governor Lingzhou are here."
Hearing the sound, I saw two teams of men and horses on the road, two people riding horses in front, and many people holding many objects in the back, and in the back was a carriage, and at the end were some soldiers with knives.
Because the two governors of Kishu and Lingzhou often come to the state, many people know the appearance of the carriages and personnel of the two teams.
The two governors were arguably the first.
In the Tobu Marquis Mansion, hundreds of subordinates were all busy, some greeted the distinguished guests, and some received the gifts and horses sent by the distinguished guests, and no one was idle anyway.
Lin Zhiwei is the main character, so he naturally greeted the visitors at the door early.
"I wish the Hou Ye a long life and a long life."
"I wish the Hou Ye all the best of luck and peace."
The first to speak was Lingzhou Governor Wu Yide, he was a rough man, and he couldn't say anything beautiful, these two sentences he had thought about for a long time. But compared to Wu Yide, Li Muhui, the governor of Jizhou, is particularly insincere, he is a literati, not to mention that there are thousands of books he has read, but he just said it simply, and when he spoke, he obviously did not dare to face Lin Zhiwei, Lin Zhiwei also saw his little move, and did not say anything, just nodded slightly and responded.
Compared with Li Muhui, Lin Zhiwei was more enthusiastic about Wu Yide, and the two chatted with Wu Yide, completely ignoring Li Muhui on the side, Li Muhui was also a thief, and didn't say anything, just followed Lin Zhiwei and Wu Yide.
The purpose of his coming here this time was to celebrate Lin Zhiwei's birthday, and secondly, he hoped to meet the third prince here, so that he could talk to the third prince in person.
After the juniors greeted Lin Zhiwei, they also left the hall, and Lin Zhiwei let them leave when he saw that they couldn't do it.
Wu Gui and Li Junwen, as soon as they heard Lin Zhiwei's order, they immediately left the main hall and ran to Lin Xi's courtyard.
"Hurry up, Junwen, I didn't see the boss last time, but this time it's faster."
"Wu Gui, you slow down, you slow down."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?"
"Is there no hurry?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm not waiting for you if you're slowing down." Wu Gyu urged.
Li Junwen had no choice but to slowly keep up with Wu Gui's pace.
In addition to Wu Gui and Li Junwen, Li Tianyi was also wandering slowly and leisurely in the mansion, thinking about how to tell Lin Xi about the letter, and she also came to the vicinity of Lin Xi's courtyard as she walked.
The two people who came to Lin Xi's courtyard shouted loudly as soon as they entered the door: "Boss!" β
Lin Xi, who was in the room, heard the voice and came to the courtyard, and as soon as he left the room, a figure hung in front of him.
"Boss!!"
"I miss you so much~ I haven't seen you for so many years, why are you still fat?"
Wu Gui said with a handful of snot and tears.
Wu Gui said and touched Lin Xi's body indiscriminately.
"Wu Gui, you kid, get off me quickly, I'm not interested in men."
Lin Xi saw that Wu Gui had not come down from him, and he was also impatient and picked him up.
Wu Gui, who was picked up, didn't react for a while, and after a while, he shouted in surprise: "Old ...... Top dog? β
"Where do you get your strength??"
Wu Gui is not a very thin kind, but he said that the guy is still a little fat, but in Lin Xi's hands, he was picked up like a little chicken, can this not surprise Wu Gui?
Li Junwen, who was watching from the sidelines, was also stunned, his boss hadn't made such progress for a few years?
It can't be a miracle pill, right?
"Boss."
Li Junwen arched his hand and said.
Lin Xi nodded and responded, "Junwen, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" β
"It's good, it's good."
"What about your sister?"
"My sister is also fine, but I don't know what happened before, and I was locked up by my father."
"Oh? And this kind of thing? β
"Well, I don't know what's going on, and he won't tell my father when I ask him."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and muttered in a low voice, "This girl doesn't know what to hide at all." β
"Huh? Boss, what did you just say? β
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. β
"You guy is still the same, he hasn't changed at all and he's still so thin, can you stand up to a few girls with your body?"
"Old ...... Boss, can withstand three. Li Junwen said honestly with a red face.
"Hahahaha...... I didn't expect Junwen, I haven't seen this for a few years, so much so that you have grown a lot. β
At this time, Wu Gui, who was on the side, hurriedly interjected: "Boss, boss, why don't you care about me?" β
Lin Xi glanced at Wu Gui and said, "You don't need to say more, eat less, you are not as fat as you are when you eat Cao." β
Wu Gui immediately retorted: "How is this possible, even if I eat for a few years, I can't be as fat as Cao Fatzi." β
"You just eat hard, and when the time comes, Fat Cao will be thinner than you, and you will take his place, and your name is Fat Wu."
"It's early, it's early." Wu Gyu laughed.
"Boss...... What about sisters-in-law? Why didn't I see my sister-in-law? β
"Sister-in-law?"
It seems that Wu Gui took Xiao Ling'er and them as sisters-in-law last time, but it doesn't matter, sooner or later, it will be anyway.
"Oh, they're going to help out."
"The boss has to be you, the four sisters-in-law are all so good-looking, all of them are beautiful embryos, unlike my concubines, it would be nice if there were sisters-in-law."
"You don't fill me with garlic, how many women are you, what kind of goods do you think I don't know?"
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Wu Gui had no choice but to smile awkwardly.
"The boss can't say anything about it."
On the other hand, the Ministry of Rites and many civil and military officials have come to the Dongwu Hou Mansion, this battle can be described as a great battle, and those civil and military officials are all bringing their children here, and they also hope to find a better family for their children here, if they can, everyone hopes that their daughters can be favored by Lin Zhiwei's son Lin Xi, if they can really form a family, then the status in South Vietnam can be said to be soaring.
In the current imperial court, except for particularly big things, Lin Zhiwei doesn't need to go to the court, and other things are basically handled by the golden armor soldiers, and the king of Nanyue is also allowed to do this, some of the older generation are very admirable to Lin Zhiwei, and few are not convinced, especially the military attachΓ©, who is extremely worshipful of Lin Zhiwei. Only a few civil officials dared to point fingers at Lin Zhiwei behind his back.
In addition to some young people who don't know Lin Zhiwei's strength, some people dare to say that Lin Zhiwei does not match the real position, and wants Lin Zhiwei to let him appear in the position, but how can the king of Nanyue not know the severity, and demote the few people who spoke, the civil officials to remote areas, and the military attachΓ©s to the border to defend against the enemy.
But the body of the king of Nanyue is not as good as day by day, and the throne should be passed on to the next generation, but he doesn't know how to make a choice for the transmission of the throne, so this time he came to celebrate Lin Zhiwei's birthday, and the two may have to have a good chat about this matter.
Before noon, there were already many people coming to the Dongwu Hou Mansion, as long as they had status, they all came, including many cultivators, and Wudang Longhu also sent people.
Finally, of course, there is the royal family.
I saw a group of teams coming to the city, the carriages were all golden, the horses were all covered with golden silkworm cloth, there was a golden dragon on the carriage, which looked very intimidating, and there were some people holding a big golden flag behind them, on which a black Yue character was written.
Seeing this battle, the people were frightened and retreated, afraid that they would block their way.
This is obviously the team of the King of Nanyue, among which his princes are also here, and the princesses of the King of Nanyue are also here, they are not here for nothing, they naturally come for a purpose, and a few of them want to develop with Lin Xi, although Lin Xi's reputation is very bad, but Lin Zhiwei's status and identity are real, compared to being married to a neighboring country or something, Lin Xi is naturally a good choice.
But there is a princess among them who is purely here to play, that is, the little princess of the king of Nanyue.
Seeing the arrival of the King of Nanyue, everyone in the hall knelt down and saluted, only Lin Zhiwei stood to greet the King of Nanyue.
Lin Zhiwei and the King of Nanyue looked at each other and smiled, "Hahaha...... I didn't expect you to be fifty. β
"Hahaha...... You're not all in your sixties. β
"Hurry up, what is this like, the birthday of someone else's Dongwu Marquis, kneel here for me, give me up!"
The crowd stood up.
Lin Zhiwei and the King of Nanyue laughed and walked inside.
Lin Zhiwei dared to talk to the king of Nanyue like this, if you change people, you can see how many heads you have enough for you to fall.
