After the banquet, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Wang Yinze came to Wang Lun's room and talked with Wang Lun for a while before going back to his room.
On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month the next day, guests from all walks of life came to Zhuge's mansion one after another. A banquet was held in the mansion to entertain guests from all directions. The banquet hall was filled with guests and guests, and there were nearly a thousand people bustling about it.
Today is the official day of Wang Yin's wedding. After today, Wang Yin will become the first member of Wang Lun's generation in the Wang family to get married and start a business. Wang Lun will also officially appear as the patriarch of the male family and the officiant of the wedding.
Wang Lun watched Wang Yin go through the whole wedding process step by step according to various etiquette arrangements such as 'welcome', 'visiting the hall', 'banquet', etc., and then the two newlyweds were sent into the bridal chamber. He looked at Wang Yin's face. With a happy smile, Wang Lun felt infinite emotion in his heart.
Wang Lun remembered the excitement in his heart when he was sitting in the chair of the wedding host and receiving toasts from the two newlyweds. With Wang Lun's determination, when he took the wine glass, his fingers could not help but tremble slightly. .
Wang Lun secretly prayed in his heart, "My parents in this life are well known. Can you also see that today your second son is married, the Wang family has not declined, and the Wang family's legacy will continue to be passed down."
Wang Lun also remembered the strange looks from everyone when he appeared in front of a group of guests who came to congratulate him as the man officiating and the head of the Wang family.
When Zhuge Mingfeng and Wang Lun walked side by side and entered the banquet hall surrounded by Zhuge family members, Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Chai Jin and others, the praising master of ceremonies announced Wang Lun's name loudly: "The King of Hebei Wang Lun, the head of the Zhuangwang family and the owner of Xiaowangzhuang in Shandong, is here!"
The voice of the master of ceremony was extremely loud. The hall was originally full of people and very noisy, but at this time, it was suppressed by the master of ceremony's singing. Wang Lun couldn't help but be surprised by the depth of the master of ceremony's internal strength. It seemed that he was also from the Zhuge family. A master of.
Wang Lun knew that most of the people in the hall at this time were people from the Jiangnan martial arts world, and those who could go to the banquet hall of the Zhuge family in Jiangnan, one of the four major martial arts families, and have a glass of water and wine, were naturally also people from the Jiangnan martial arts world. A person with a head and a face.
At this time, most of the guests in the hall who came to congratulate the Zhuge family also knew that Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law of the Zhuge family was the second son of the Wang family of Hebei Dawangzhuang, one of the four great martial arts families at that time. However, everyone also knew that Hebei Dawangzhuang As early as more than ten years ago, it was destroyed due to a military disaster, and almost no one among the thousands of people in the village survived.
Since then, no one has heard of any descendants of the Wang family in Hebei. The second son of the Wang family, Wang Yin, escaped a catastrophe because he was a guest at Zhuge's house. But now, the head of the Wang family has appeared. He is still the owner of Xiaowang Village in Shandong. The guests in the hall looked at each other in confusion for a while.
Wang Lun followed Zhuge Mingfeng into the banquet hall and saw that most of the martial arts people in the hall looked confused. Some of them were still whispering. It was obvious that no one knew him, and most of them had never heard of him. name.
Wang Lun smiled indifferently, knowing that although he was somewhat famous now, it was only limited to the martial arts in the Central Plains in the north. Nowadays, most of the people in this hall were martial arts people from the south of the Yangtze River, so he knew that he was not famous.
Wang Lun sighed in his heart. The Hebei Wang family, which was one of the four major martial arts families back then, was no less powerful than the eight martial arts sects. Even if it was not as good as the third sect, it was still comparable to the other five sects. Among the martial arts sects in the world, What a high reputation it has.
But back then Dawangzhuang was destroyed, and the Wang family in Hebei no longer existed. More than ten years have passed, and now when the name of the Wang family is mentioned again, respect and admiration are no longer in the eyes of these people. Some are just confused, strange, and even It is contempt and gloating.
Wang Lun saw all this, but Wang Lun was not unhappy at all, because Wang Lun knew that the martial arts world has always respected strength. If his own strength is not strong enough, how can he win the respect of others? The only blame I can blame is that my fame and strength are still too small.
Wang Lun secretly swore to himself in his heart that everything now is only temporary. The Wang family will become a existence that everyone looks up to in the near future, but it is better to be like this now. With Liangshan's current strength, it is better to hide one's strength and bide one's time. Now This is not a good time to show off.
Wang Lun was determined in his heart, and his expression was naturally relaxed and comfortable. He just stood casually in the crowd, but he became more and more outstanding.
Zhuge Mingfeng didn't care about the expressions and gazes of these martial arts people. He introduced Wang Lun to everyone on the spot. In his words, he promoted Wang Lun to his contemporaries and named him the head of the Wang family.
At this time, Wang Lun was the person who officiated at the wedding, and was also the current patriarch of the Wang family. He could not be too modest. Following Zhuge Mingfeng's introduction, he greeted the Jiangnan Wulin comrades one by one.
The martial arts people who came to attend the wedding ceremony saw that Wang Lun had outstanding temperament, extraordinary conversation, and quite the demeanor of everyone. Their initial contempt gradually faded away, and their words began to become respectful and polite. They expressed their gratitude to Wang Lun one after another. Congratulations, and treat Wang Lun as the owner of the village.
At this time, the main ceremony of the wedding has been basically completed. The two newlyweds Wang Yin and Zhuge Liqing were also sent into the bridal chamber. Wang Yin had to wait for a while before he could come out to toast the guests. Zhuge Mingfeng then ordered to go down and the banquet began. All guests are invited to sit down and drink.
While Wang Lun was still greeting everyone, Zhuge Mingfeng invited Wang Lun to sit at the chief banquet table.
Zhuge Mingfeng naturally sat at the host's seat. Wang Lun was the head of the wedding party and sat at the guest seat. However, Wang Lun still informed all the guests one by one before sitting down.
The people sitting at the chief banquet table are either elders of the Zhuge family or famous martial arts figures and heads of major sects. Among the twelve people at the table, in addition to Zhuge Mingfeng and Wang Lun, there are also members of the Zhuge family. four elders.
These four people are the four most noble elders in the Zhuge family, except for the patriarch Zhuge Mingfeng. These four elders are also famous figures in the world, and they are also top-notch masters in the martial arts.
Four of the remaining six people are leaders of the same sect. They are Xiao Jianfang, the lord of Wuyang City in the East China Sea, who is also one of the four major martial arts families, Elder Zhiyong, the abbot of South Shaolin in Putian, Fujian, and Nanyue Hengshan, one of the Five Sacred Sword Sects. Mo Shiduo, the leader of the Sword Sect, Mr. Mo Da, and Chi Songzi, the leader of the Wuyi Sect in the Seven Mountains Alliance.
The last two people are Lu Junyi and Chai Jin. Lu Junyi is the head disciple of the Qilin Sect, the largest martial arts sect in the world today. Lu Junyi himself is a top martial arts master. The reputation of Hebei Jade Qilin is extremely loud in the world. Coming to congratulate on behalf of the Qilin Clan this time has given the Zhuge family a lot of face, so he sat next to Wang Lun.
The identity of Chai Jin is different. The Chai family is the direct descendant of Chai Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period. At that time, the Chai family gave way to Emperor Wude, the founder of the Song Dynasty, and made an immortal contribution. Therefore, the descendants of the Chai family People enjoyed royal status in the Song Dynasty.
In Chai Jin's home, there is an iron scroll of alchemy given by Emperor Wu De. He is actually a noble of the emperor and must be respected by thousands of people both in court and at home. Chai Jin is the current patriarch of the Chai family, and his status is naturally extremely noble. In terms of status alone, , Chai Jin should have sat in front of Lu Junyi, but the two were sworn brothers, Lu Junyi was the elder brother, and Chai Jin respected his elder brother, so he sat under Lu Junyi instead.
Xiao Wu and Ping'er were accompanied by female members of the Zhuge family and sat elsewhere, while Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Xiao Hu and others were accompanied by young children of the Zhuge family. Shi Wengong also sat at the same table with Shi Jin and others.
After everyone exchanged greetings and took their seats, Zhuge Mingfeng, as the host, raised his glass to toast Wang Lun and welcomed Wang Lun's arrival. All the martial arts people in the hall raised their glasses to show their respect, and Wang Lun also stood up and returned the courtesy.
At the banquet, everyone was chatting, talking about martial arts anecdotes and martial arts moves. Wang Lun, Lu Junyi, and Chai Jin were all people with easy speech. In no time, they were talking to a group of Jiangnan martial arts people. We talked in the alley, mingled together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Among all the people at the table, only Wang Lun arrived the latest. Lu Junyi and Chai Jin arrived a day earlier and had already met other martial arts people and were relatively familiar with each other. The others gradually became familiar with Wang Lun when they saw that he was friendly and eloquent. .
In particular, Xiao Jianfang, the lord of Wuyang City in the East China Sea, was the most enthusiastic about Wang Lun. He said that he was a close friend with Wang Lun's father, Wang Kuoda. When he was young, he had met Wang Lun's father, Wang Kuoda, Zhuge Mingfeng, the head of the Zhuge family, and Tang Yifeng, the head of the Sichuan Tang sect. The four eldest sons of the four major martial arts families joined forces to enter the world of martial arts. At that time, the four of them were still teenagers, and they were so high-spirited in eliminating evil and promoting good in the world of martial arts.
Unexpectedly, decades have passed and my old friend is no longer alive. Thinking of the past, Xiao Jianfang cried several times. Wang Lun, Lu Junyi, Chai Jin and everyone at the table were also filled with emotion.
Elder Zhiyong, the abbot of Southern Shaolin, Mr. Mo Shiduo, the leader of the Hengshan Sword Sect, Chi Songzi, the leader of the Wuyi Sect, and others saw that Xiao Jianfang was a bit sad when talking about the past, and they quickly changed the subject for fear of spoiling the atmosphere.
Mr. Mo Da was the most talkative, and he told some interesting anecdotes about the world. After a few words, he made everyone laugh. During the conversation, he didn't realize that the sky was completely dark, and the hall was lit with candles, which illuminated the entire hall. Bright as day.
Everyone was drinking and chatting, and it was the time for speculation, but suddenly they heard the master of ceremonies outside the door singing loudly: "The leader of the South Road Alliance of the Green Forest Alliance, Meng Chi, the Fire Cloud Heavenly King, and his colleagues from the Green Forest Alliance came to congratulate."
Zhuge Mingfeng frowned when he heard the compliment from the master of ceremonies, and immediately stood up. At this time, a member of the Zhuge family ran to Zhuge Mingfeng and whispered: "Clan leader, that Meng Chi has already Take people to the middle gate."
"My nephew, please sit down for a moment. I'll be back soon." Zhuge Mingfeng nodded, turned around and confessed to Wang Lun, and then confessed to the other guests present before walking out. Zhuge Lizhu also immediately He took a group of Zhuge family disciples to follow him.
