Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 142: Some people are glorious and some are miserable

For the time being, the wet nurse will take care of everything for the child. Naturally, Wei Wuwei's wife will immediately have her condition checked by a doctor and be carefully taken care of by her servants.

When it got daylight, the Wei Mansion, which was originally in a hurry, was now enveloped in a festive atmosphere, and even firecrackers were set off at the ancestral residence of the Wei family.

The birth of a son by the head of the family was a huge event in this era where patriarchal thinking was extremely important, especially because some of the family’s most trusted senior officials knew that there was a deeper meaning to it.

Early that morning, Wei Wuwei ran to the Wei family's ancestral home to meet the old man.

The ancestral house is much smaller than Wei Wuwei's current residence. The old man likes peace and quiet, so he put a lot of flowers, trees, and fish in it.

The door and windows of the old man's room were wide open at the moment. He was sitting on a lounge chair, with the heater under his feet and wrapped in tiger skin, listening to the crackling of firecrackers outside.

The servants on the side helped him make morning tea and prepared various pastries for him to eat.

After a while, footsteps came hurriedly outside, and by the weight, you knew it was Wei Wuwei coming.

"Master! Master! Fearless is here!"

Wei Wuwei's slightly excited voice came, and he soon entered the old man's room.

"Haha, finally gave birth to a son?"

"Hey, you already know it!"

After Wei Wuwei entered the door, his steps were much lighter. He dismissed his servants and personally served the old man tea.

"Oh, you, the master of the house, still serve my old man, you can't afford it!"

The old man made a joke, and Wei Wuwei was so thick-skinned that he pretended not to hear it. Anyway, he did come here because he had something to do.

"Master, I'm not telling you. You've made the situation here in the ancestral home just like the wild forest, with too many mosquitoes."

"You kid, you had a lot of fun playing here when you were a kid, but now you hate the mosquitoes?"

Wei Wuwei giggled a few times and carefully handed the tea cup to the old man. The latter took it with one hand without even swaying in the tea cup.

The old man has been practicing martial arts for decades without any illness or pain. Even though he is old now, his skills are still strong.

Take a sip of tea, and the old man’s wrinkled face smiles like an old chrysanthemum.

"You won't want to go to the fairy house just because your child is pregnant, right?"

"Look at what you said, how can you do that! If you really can't hold yourself back, my daughters can go, too. Didn't I come to beg you to give the child a name?"

Wei Wuwei smiled and picked up the cakes on the table and stuffed them into his mouth.

Generally, children may only have a nickname when they can walk, but the Wei family has always given their names at birth.

This is serious business. The old man was thinking carefully while drinking tea.

"It's a pity. If Mr. Ji from Ning'an County is still there, it would be best to ask him for a name this time."

Of course the old man of the Wei family knew about Ji Yuan, but that kind of divine figure is not something that ordinary people can guess at will.

"Well, the birth of this son is related to the future of my Wei family, so why not call him Wei Yuansheng?"

Wei Wuwei repeated the name twice and thought it was a wonderful name, so he quickly flattered the old man.

"My lord, you are so awesome. The name you give me is appropriate. I have never been afraid of anything since I was a child. My son's name is even better. He must have great karma!"

The old man laughed angrily at Wei Wuwei.

"You are the most cowardly and fearless...Old man, I have regretted your name so many times!"...

The Wei family has strong financial resources and trades all over the world. Few families in Desheng Mansion can match it in terms of money. In addition, they have deliberately made good friends with some Jianghu forces and court officials. Their children are going to have a full moon. During the wine and banquet preparations, the servants delivering invitations ran out in piles.

Since the birth of the young master of the Wei family, horses have been taken out every day at the horse farm and stables owned by the Wei family, and then returned after a period of time dusty.

The powerful families and martial arts forces who have good relations with the Wei family received invitations with gold threads. In order not to coincide with the most important Spring Festival of the year, the Wei family deliberately moved the young master's full moon banquet to the second day of the twelfth lunar month. sixteen.

Nevertheless, the time is stuck on New Year's Eve. Basically, except for those in Fucheng, Desheng Prefecture or nearby, other attendees may only take pictures of two random representatives to participate.

As the time gets closer and closer, the meaning of the New Year is gradually getting stronger. Two consecutive heavy snowfalls in Desheng Mansion not only coated everything with a layer of silver, but also made the interior and exterior of the Wei Mansion decorated with lights and colors even more colorful. .

Luoxia Villa is also well-known in the world. It is one of the most powerful martial arts forces in Desheng Prefecture. It has a good relationship with the Wei family and is relatively close. There is no need to set off too far in advance, so on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month We entered Fucheng early in the morning.

The visitor is a very important person. He is the owner of the third village known as the handsome man in the world, and he has brought two juniors with him, namely the 19-year-old Luo Tiancheng and Luo Ning, who had already made an engagement with the same person last year. Frost.

Two carriages entered Fucheng. The three owners of the village were alone in the front carriage, while Luo Ningshuang and Luo Tiancheng were sitting waiting for the carriage.

Lifting the curtain on one side of the carriage, Luo Ningshuang looked at the silver-covered eaves around her and smiled.

"Second sister, among those guys who went hunting tigers with you back then, are there several who have become famous in the world now? That swordsman Yan Fei is said to be quite powerful, and that Lu Chengfeng, They both have the title of Young Gentleman of Yunge. They are both from Desheng Mansion. Will they come this time? The Wei family must have sent invitations to their family, right?"

At the beginning, some of the nine people were not from Desheng Mansion and were unlikely to come. However, as long as they were from Desheng Mansion, there would be no powerful forces in the world that the Wei family did not have good relations with, and they would all have some kind of friendship.

Luo Tiancheng asked curiously. When he arrived at Luo Ningshuang's place, he just shook his head and smiled.

"That's not clear, but the Chinese New Year will be here in two days. At most, you can send some insignificant disciples or stewards to congratulate you. The ones you want to see may not be there."

The two chatted, and the carriage gradually approached the Wei family's residence. It was very early at this time, and there were not many carriages and horses outside the Wei family. Outside, the three village owners and the Wei family steward who came up exchanged greetings. Behind them, the Luo family siblings Then he jumped off the carriage.

"The Du family of Tianyue Prefecture is here to congratulate the young master of the Wei family on his full moon!"

A slightly familiar voice to Luo Ningshuang sounded from the other side, and a steward of the Wei family also came up to greet her.

Luo Ningshuang walked up to take a look and could hardly recognize the person, but a broken arm and an empty sleeve still reminded her of the person who was handing the invitation to the Wei family steward.

"Du Heng?"

Swordsman Du Heng, half-bearded, with a long knife slung behind his back, wearing a blue shirt, turned his head when he heard Luo Ningshuang's voice.

"Are you...Junior Sister Luo?"

Du Heng forced a smile on his face, but had no intention of exchanging any more greetings. He nodded and followed the Wei family's servants into the Wei Mansion with the two people who came with him.

"This boy from the Du family hasn't given up on martial arts yet!"

Luo Feng, the owner of the third village, stood beside Luo Ningshuang at some point, watching Du Heng walk into the Wei Mansion. The old housekeeper of the Wei Mansion beside him also responded with some emotion.

"This Du Heng is useless in this life, and he didn't have any outstanding spirit just now."

Luo Feng looked at Luo Ningshuang beside him and smiled.

"Reminiscing with him in the past?"

Luo Ningshuang hesitated for a moment but shook her head.

"Forget it, it seems he doesn't want to talk to me either."

More carriages and horses gradually gathered outside, and the Luo family entered the Wei Mansion. The carriages were taken away by servants of the Wei family.

At noon, nearly a hundred banquet tables in the inner and outer courtyards of the Wei Mansion were filled with guests. Chefs from several famous restaurants in the city were invited to serve. The aroma of the dishes wafted over from afar.

Wei Wuwei was a well-mannered person and took good care of every guest. Even Du Heng went to greet him in person.

During this period, Lu Chengfeng, known as the young gentleman of Yunge, made a special trip to congratulate him, which also won a lot of praise for this rookie in the world. Before the banquet started, he went around chatting with people, not forgetting to toast Luo Feng. Talk to Luo Ningshuang.

After chatting with the Luo family, he learned that Du Heng was also there. Lu Chengfeng searched the crowd and found Du Heng drinking alone in a garden corridor outside the banquet table. .

Lu Chengfeng was still so familiar. He started with "Finally found you" and talked with the somewhat embarrassed Du Heng with great enthusiasm.

After the initial unfamiliarity, the two of them finally found the same feeling of hitting it off. They drank together in the garden corridor, one using a cup and the other using the lid of a wine flask.

"Actually, you don't have to be too discouraged. Mr. Ji said that if you can survive it, your future will be limitless... Even if there is really no improvement in martial arts, you will definitely achieve some success if you find another way. Well! ”

Du Heng was just about to say that he was no more than a third-rate person now, but when he heard the second half of Lu Chengfeng's sentence, he gritted his teeth and swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Thank you Brother Lu for your kind words!"

Du Heng pinched his thigh with his left hand to prevent himself from losing his composure. He had tasted both hot and cold in the past few years, so why could he lose his composure in front of his former partner.

The first part was about Du Heng's situation, and the second part was Lu Chengfeng's own description of his current situation. He also talked about how he gained a reputation in the world and how he gradually rose to prominence in martial arts.

After finishing reminiscing with Lu Chengfeng, I looked for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com After Lu Chengfeng left, the flesh of Du Heng's left leg under his pants had already been pinched purple by himself.

"Hehehe...he will be the number one scholar..."

Du Heng smiled sadly, closed his eyes and touched the handle of the knife behind his back.

"Du Shaoxia, do you know Mr. Ji?"

A voice suddenly rang in his ears, making Du Heng slightly startled. He turned around and saw a chubby smiling face looking at him. It was none other than Wei Wuwei.

"Master Wei? You..."

"Hahaha, I just passed by. I heard something interesting and couldn't bear to leave. After all, I didn't expect that the white tiger skin I bought from Ning'an County was made by several people. I'm really surprised!"

After saying this, Wei Wuwei came closer and sat down on the corridor stool, smiling.

"I just heard you and Major Lu reminiscing about old times and mentioning Mr. Ji. Hey, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to talk to Mr. Wei?"

Du Heng felt a little complicated and forced a smile.

"Master Wei, this matter is indeed inconvenient. My husband asked us to try not to mention him in front of outsiders..."

"Hey! What Du Shaoxia said is wrong. Mr. Ji is talking about an outsider, and I, Wei Wuwei, am not. I know Mr. Ji. I have given him cakes and wine, and eaten dates from his courtyard. How can you be an outsider? ”

When he heard this sentence, Wei Wuwei almost immediately concluded that the "sir" was Ji Yuan!
