The General Is As Urgent As Law

Chapter 57

Jiang also stayed at home obediently with his younger brother for a day, and the next day was Xue Ziqin's wedding day.Jiang also got some ins and outs about Xue Ziqin's wedding from the old man by insinuating.For a businessman like Mr. Jiang, if he wanted to do a good job in business, he needed intelligence from the court.

After coming out of Yanluo Pavilion and separating from Wei Lin that day, the two never saw each other again. Jiang also wanted to spend more time with his parents in his spare time, but Wei Lin didn't come to see him, so the two of them naturally had no chance to meet.But Jiang is not in a hurry, Xue Ziqin will always see him on his wedding day.

Although Xue Ziqin said it as if he didn't want to ask them to have a wedding, but after learning about Jiang Ye's family background, Xue Ziqin's invitation was delivered to Jiang's residence the evening before the wedding banquet, and it was Mr. Jiang who opened it up and read it himself. .

"You have a good relationship with General Xue?" Mr. Jiang looked left and right while holding the invitation, and asked Jiang Ye.He knew that Jiang also went to Yan Hangu to join the army, and he also knew what happened to Yan Hangu.Everything is good in this capital, and the news comes quickly and completely. Other places gossip after dinner and gossip, but Xiangcheng is at the foot of the emperor, and everyone talks about things in the palace. Women talk about the harem. , the man chatted about the previous dynasty.

Jiang also shook his head, and said truthfully, "It's not that much."

"Then send you a special invitation?"

"I don't know too well..." Jiang also said vaguely.

Mr. Jiang also understood that once Jiang Ye joined the army, it wasn't a matter of saying he couldn't go or not.If you have a good relationship with the general, you will be able to climb to a high position in the future, which is really a good thing to honor your family.However, in today's political situation, anyone with a little understanding knows that the eldest prince is likely to be established as the heir apparent in the near future, that is to say, the Xue family, who is in the same spirit as the third prince, is bound to be deprived of power and follow Xue Ziqin to fight. It's not a good thing.This time the emperor bestowed marriage to Xue's family, maybe it was meant to appease, or maybe it was a precursor to power cuts, it's hard to say.

Now that Jiang is also under Xue Ziqin's subordinates, Mr. Jiang can't say anything, so he can only remind Jiang Ye a little bit: "The situation of the Xue family is not very good now, you'd better not follow the Xue family."

Jiang also frowned and said, "It's not up to me to decide. If you join the army, you are also naturalized. Deserters should be punished for their crimes."

"Father knows." Mr. Jiang sighed, and said, "In short, your life is important, don't get involved with these political affairs, and don't get involved in any partisan disputes."

"understood."

Mr. Jiang handed the invitation back to Jiang Ye, and said, "Choose some precious jade from the shop tomorrow as a congratulatory gift."

"Oh good," Jiang Ye said after receiving the invitation, "Does Dad know that General Xue is married to the young lady of that family?"

"And the fourth princess."

Jiang also opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Mr. Jiang glanced at him and said, "Why are you surprised? It's normal for the court to order an official to marry a royal family member."

"I remember that the fourth princess is the first princess?"

"That's why the emperor has a crush on General Xue, and the outside world guesses that way." There are many, and Mr. Jiang doesn't want to get to the bottom of it with Jiang.If he was a small trader in his class, if he got into trouble with the court, or colluded with any court officials, officials and businessmen, it would not end well.

"Okay, you go and rest, remember to pick some congratulatory gifts tomorrow, don't lose your courtesy."

The next day.

Jiang Ye went to the shop before going to Xue's Mansion. According to Mr. Jiang's words, Jiang Ye picked out the right glass luminous glass, asked his servants to wrap it carefully, and took it with him to Xue's Mansion.

From a long distance, he saw Wei Lin standing with the servants in his servant uniform, helping to receive the guests.Although there is still some time before the divorce banquet starts, the gate of Xue's mansion is already full of people coming and going. Just by intuition, Jiang can tell that the guests who came to congratulate each other are from extraordinary backgrounds. A wealthy businessman in Xiangcheng.At this time, Jiang also complained that he didn't care about business affairs in the past, otherwise he might recognize a few people who had contacts with his family.

Jiang Ye didn't wear the moon white gown again today, but changed into a more gorgeous one.This is also what Mr. Jiang explained. Since all the invitations have been sent to the mansion, it is natural not to lose face.

Wei Lin was nodding and bowing his head to help receive the gift, and when he glanced inadvertently, he saw Jiang walking over at a leisurely pace.He was wearing a black satin dress, the skirt and cuffs were trimmed with red silk thread, the dark red gemstones on the belt set off his overall demeanor, and under the belt, a piece of red knot was woven The black jade pendant can be described as low-key luxury.After walking a little further, Wei Lin saw that the cloth was embroidered with black thread. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it.

"Hello Young Master Jiang!" Wei Lin happily greeted Jiang as well.

Jiang also walked over to hand him the gift, and said jokingly, "Hey, Big Brother Wei will pick up the guests himself."

"No, I made a special trip to pick you up." Wei Lin looked in a good mood, smiled and handed the gifts to the other servants, and then said very courteously, "Let's go, Young Master Jiang, I will take you in." .” He politely made a "please" gesture, Jiang also nodded in satisfaction, and walked in the door.

Many people have already come to the mansion, red silk decorations are hung everywhere, and everyone is beaming.

"Why do you still come to pick up the guests yourself?"

"Shh, the general said let me help."

"Then you agreed? It's not like your style."

"When will you be able to read minds?" Wei Lin approached Jiang Ye, half-covered his mouth, and said mysteriously, "The general said to give me two taels of silver as a reward."

"Look how promising you are," Jiang said disdainfully.

As the two walked, they saw Xue Ziqin wearing wedding clothes, not very happy standing in the front hall, doing some superficial kung fu with the guests.

"The general is going to marry the first princess, do you know?" Jiang Ye asked suddenly.

Wei Lin was surprised and said: "I don't know, wow, it's amazing."

The two were chatting, and the guard at the door shouted loudly: "General Wei is here! Master Wei is here!" Everyone's eyes turned to the door, including Wei Lin and Jiang Ye.

Wei Lin lowered the servant's hat on his head calmly

some.

Wei Yuanting brought Wei Tianqi into the mansion, and walked straight towards Xue Ziqin: "General Xue is young and promising, congratulations to General Xue and the princess!"

Xue Ziqin nodded with a half-smile: "Thank you, General Wei."

Wei Lin and Jiang Ye were still a little far apart, and no one noticed them. Wei Lin whispered, "Do you know why the servant wants to call out Young Master Wei?"

"Ok?"

"The general told me."

"Why?"

"Because the only son of General Wei is an ignorant scum, General Wei will feel very ashamed. Think about it, the son of a dignified general can't lead troops to fight, and he doesn't get a reputation. Just being drunk and dying in the kiln hall is really... enviable."

As Wei Lin talked, he actually started to envy him.Jiang was also confused by these words. Looking at Wei Lin's face, the envious look on his face was really not fake.Thinking about Wei Lin's description of Wei Tianqi just now, it seems to be right, Wei Lin must be envious of this kind of person.

Royal weddings are naturally very lively. The princess's guard of honor came out from the side door of Xuanyang Palace. Along the way, the mighty brigade went to Xue's mansion. The commoners of Xiangcheng came out and stood on both sides of the road to watch the excitement. There were even young men, Everyone scrambled to find an opportunity, and waited for the wind to blow the princess's veil, so that they could see the princess's style.

There is no need to beat gongs and drums for the guard of honor, just watching the discussions of the civilians is noisy enough.As You approached, Xue Ziqin stood helplessly in front of the door waiting for the princess' guard of honor. Min Qiu and Guo Linchong stood behind him, wearing armor, looking like Xue Ziqin's guards.

Jiang Ye and Wei Lin stood on the other side watching, and then they saw the person they saw at the gate of Yanluo Pavilion that day.The man stood beside Xue Ziqin, Xue Ziqin bowed very cautiously, and called out: "Father."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye said to Wei Lin, "Look, it really is Xue Changfeng."

The princess' guard of honor went from the street to the gate of Xue's mansion in a blink of an eye.

If ordinary people get married, the groom will go up and open the sedan chair door, welcome the bride out, and then go to the hall, which is very simple.But now the one who married Xue Ziqin was the first princess, so it was quite different.As soon as the guard of honor stopped at the door, everyone knelt down and saluted: "See Princess Yun."

Jiang Ye and Wei Lin knelt in the crowd of civilians who joined in the fun, and Wei Lin muttered unhappily, "I'm about to get married, and I still have such a big style."

"The big ones are still behind."

Through the gauze curtain, no one could see the princess's appearance clearly, let alone the hijab.Seeing the princess raised her hand on the guard of honor, without saying a word, the servants next to her said for her: "Excuse me, everyone."

According to the rules, Xue Ziqin only needs to lift the gauze curtain in the past and lead the princess into the door.Xue Ziqin's face was full of displeasure, but he still walked to the gauze tent, picked up the jade Ruyi in the hand of the servant girl, and opened the gauze curtain.The first princess also cooperated, and walked out gently.The hijab was not made of red silk, but a piece of gauze, and one could vaguely see the appearance of the princess and the complicated and gorgeous headdress on her head.

"Princess please."

"You don't need to be so polite," said the princess.

Xue Ziqin's expression was complicated, and then he took the princess's hand as if he was dying, and the two stepped into the gate of the mansion. The musicians brought by the palace immediately played the music, and Jiang Ye and Wei Lin followed behind the crowd.

Jiang is also very interested in Baitang's drama, but Wei Lin is not.As a result, Wei Lin ran to the kitchen to help, and Liu Jiang watched alone.

Jiang also looked at Xue Ziqin, his stinky face was even more stinky when he visited the hall than the usual expression in the barracks, and for some reason he felt a little better.He, Xue Ziqin, was also forced to get married today when he was forced.

Almost as soon as it got dark, the banquet began.

The front hall is full of large round tables, and there are many guests, there are about thirty tables.

Jiang Ye, Wei Lin, and others sat at the same table with Min Qiu and Zhou Xiao, and at the next table were Xue Changfeng, Wei Yuanting, and others, so that the soldiers and lieutenants at their table ate very carefully at the wedding banquet, for fear of making mistakes.In the whole wedding banquet, the table with the most dignified expression was probably theirs. Everyone was engrossed in eating without saying a word, but the cynicism and sarcasm at the next table became the next meal for their table.

"Brother Wei came here specially today, it's really disappointing."

"Why did General Xue say such a thing? You and I have been friends for many years, and you still care about those red tapes?"

"Brother Wei is right, I was really surprised when I saw your son today."

"Oh?"

"I haven't seen you for many years. Your son is the same as before. The world is bad and people's hearts are unpredictable. It is very rare to have a childlike heart like Tianqi. Brother Wei really raised a good son."

"How could it be better than General Xue's luck? General Xue is young and promising, and now he is married to Princess Yun. He will definitely show his talents in the royal capital in the future."

"Thanks to the emperor's grace, Quanzi and I will definitely live up to the emperor's grace."

Jiang also listened, completely unable to understand what meaningful words they were talking about, so he poked Wei Lin's waist quietly, and asked in a low voice: "What are they talking about. "

"Laugh at each other."

"Why do I sound like I'm flattering each other?"

"You are stupid, Wei Yuanting and Xue Changfeng have always been at odds, how could they flatter each other."

"Anyway, I didn't hear it."

Wei Lin frowned, and said impatiently: "I'll translate for you, 'Old Dog Wei, what are you doing here, I don't even want to pick you up', 'Do you want to pick up', 'Your son died a few years ago This worthless look, and it’s still like this now, is really a waste’, ‘Your son has been cut off from the military and trapped in the capital, you still have time to take care of my son’.”

"What about the last sentence?" Jiang Ye asked.

"The last sentence?" Wei Lin didn't understand which sentence it was.

"It's the phrase 'thanks to the grace of the emperor'."

"Oh, it probably means 'fuck your mother, it's none of your business'." Wei Lin said seriously.
