MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 106 Wei family

Chapter 106 The Wei Family

 The back house is full of people coming and going, and the front hall is bustling with activity.

Today's Guogong Mansion is crowded with people as never before, and no one who comes is not a member of the current dynasty's family.

 The men go to the front hall to **** them, and the women go to the flower hall to see them off.

The slaves in the upper and lower houses were serving themselves, and the guests also smiled.

Although Shang Guogong has a soft face, he can still cope with situations like this. In addition, with Shilang and Qilang by his side, he can also make both ends meet.

 On the other hand, Shang Ji doesn't like to do these empty tricks.

If it weren't for Ping'er to start a new life with a little more confidence and courage, he wouldn't have come to the front hall or not.

 But people are like this, they leave because they are strong.

Even though Shang Ji has an aura of keeping away from strangers written all over his body, there is still a lot of fun that comes with it.

 Soon, he was surrounded by people.

 There are civil servants and military generals.

 Either we are acquaintances, or we have heard each other's name.

It's not that he's very familiar with them, but every time Shang Ji greets someone, he always introduces his acquaintance with Shang Zhiping.

 At first he was very timid, but gradually he was able to speak and bow to people as he saw more people.

Most of them are accompanied by their children and grandchildren.

Since he came to get acquainted with Shang Ji and saw that he valued his nephew so much, the children and grandchildren of those ministers would not underestimate Shang Zhiping.

 At least on the surface.

 Such a harmonious scene made Shang Zhihe, who was not far away, a little aggrieved.

 Shang Qilang noticed his nephew's unhappiness and specially expressed his comfort.

“He’er, don’t always think about comparing yourself with others, you already have a lot.”

“Uncle Qi, I want the attention of everyone, but I don’t have it right now.”

 He ​​is not very old, but his eyes are full of desire for power. I don’t know who he is following this temperament.

Shang Qilang felt that his fourth brother did not have such ambitions, nor did his fourth sister-in-law.

But he soon saw who he was following?

 "Great-grandfather! Grandfather! Uncle! Here!"

Shang Zhihe greeted the Wei family who had just entered the door from a distance.

The three young and old of the Wei family looked over. When they saw Shang Qilang and Shang Zhihe, they all had smiles on their faces.

　　Then Shang Zhihe pulled Shang Qilang forward to greet him.

“My grandson has met his grandfather, uncle, and cousin.”

“He’er has met his great-grandfather, maternal grandfather, and uncle.”

 “Okay, they are all good children, no need to be polite.”

The person who spoke was Taiwei Wei. He is now over seventy years old, but he still looks very energetic.

The eyes are bright and the face is radiant.

The gray hair was tightly tied, and there was no sign of bending in her back.

Standing on his left and right sides are his son Wei Mingxian and grandson Wei Jiaheng.

 Father and son are very similar. They seem to be just different in age. Of course, Wei Mingxian is stronger than his son.

 After all, his title of deputy commander is not for nothing, he still needs to have some real ability.

 Wei Jiaheng, on the other hand, seemed to be a bit of a playboy. He was not on good terms with Shang Qilang. Instead, he had many conversations with Shang Zhi and his nephew.

 So as soon as he came, Shang Zhihe came over.

 “Uncle, uncle.”

 The call was meant to be affectionate. Those who didn’t know better thought it was not his uncle, but his father.

 “Look, what fun did I bring you?”

Wei Jiaheng took out a slingshot while he was talking. The peach wood base was finely made, and some jewels were specially painted on it.

 The rubber band of the slingshot is made of tiger tendon, which is the most difficult to use.

 With just a little bit of force, you can hit stones or marbles far away. So it looks like a small one, but it is actually worth a lot of money.

When Shang Zhihe saw this thing, his eyes shone brightly.

 It’s like getting a handy weapon and rushing to practice it.

“Uncle, please take me to try. There is a forest over there with birds in it. Let’s try to catch a few.”

 “Okay, lead the way.”

Shang Qilang felt it was inappropriate after hearing this, so he started to persuade him.

"Today is my father's birthday party. It's not appropriate to see blood, so I'd better stop messing around."

 Shang Zhihe didn't love this seventh uncle at all and always disturbed his interest, so he said with a straight face.

“Uncle Qi, don’t worry, I know the propriety, it’s just a practice exercise, it won’t hurt your life.”

 After saying that, he took his uncle Wei Jiaheng and left without caring about the people present.

Taiwei Wei looked at his grandson and great-grandson and said with a smile.

　　"It's great to be young. You can do whatever you want to do when you are young. Hahaha, you are quite brave as you were back then."

 When he opened his mouth, Wei Mingxian also smiled.

 Obviously, he is very satisfied with this grandson.

 Shang Qilang sighed in his heart. No matter how much he said, he couldn't say anything, so he had to shut up.

By coincidence, Shang Yu, accompanied by Shang Silang, had just returned from socializing and met a few people.

Immediately stepped forward and bowed and said.

“My son-in-law has met his father-in-law and his uncle.”

 “Today is your birthday party, there is no need to be too polite, just be more relaxed.”

After Wei Taiwei finished speaking, Wei Mingxian next to him also spoke.

“My brother-in-law looks good today, and Shiro is also in good spirits.”

“I admire my uncle for being as powerful as ever.”

 “Easy to talk about.”

They seemed to be a real family as they talked and laughed, but this scene made Shang Ji and Shang Zhiping feel a little uncomfortable.

 Once upon a time, they had the same marriage relationship with the Gu family.

 But these gradually disappeared with the death of Mrs. Gu, Shang Dalang, and the entire Gu family died in the battlefield.

Instead, it was the Wei family who had been planning hard over the years.

 Whether it is the front dynasty or the back house.

Shang Ji couldn't stand such a scene, so his aura began to become cold.

 No one around him could talk to him, so he felt a little overwhelmed by the coldness.

At the moment when he was embarrassed, someone suddenly patted Shang Ji on the shoulder quite intimately.

 He responded with a chokehold and almost lost the person's arm.

“Ah ah ah ah, it’s me, it’s me, you kid, see clearly before you hit someone!”

Hearing the sound that made the branches tremble, Shang Ji relaxed his grip.

The other party was lucky enough to save a "life" and said breathlessly.

"Is this Duke's Mansion a place for cannibalism? I fell down last time I came back, and it took me half a month of rest to recover. Today I was almost strangled to death by you. It's really killing me!"

The man kept talking like a firecracker was exploding in his mouth, which actually made Shang Zhiping next to him laugh.

 Then he happily called out, "Uncle Zhao Biao."

The cousin Zhao he refers to is Xing Zhao, the most favored son of the Xing family, who is responsible for the river transportation.

 You are born handsome and have a lively temperament.

His mother is the niece of Marshal Gu, so she is also a member of the Gu family.

And he had also experienced in the Gu family army for several years, and he and Shang Ji were good brothers and close buddies.

 Hence, it was not too much for Shang Zhiping to call him "uncle Zhao".
