Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Congratulations from a Hundred Generals (2nd Update)
This sentence shocked many who had previously looked down upon the situation.
Wei Rulan, who was in the distance, was even more startled and muttered to herself, “To contain the great Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, I always thought such a thing was but a legend, never did I imagine it truly existed!”
When many people learned from others about the miraculous and precious nature of this ring, they all looked at An Yan with extremely envious eyes.
Especially the girls, who were nearly driven mad with envy.
The considerateness and gentleness, the domineering and wealth, the handsomeness and strength of Xue An—all these made the young ladies envious.
An Yan stood up with the support of Xue An and naturally hooked her arm into his, walking out together.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian followed closely behind; the two little girls were also dressed in finely made children’s formal wear today.
This family walking together drew countless envious and amazed gazes.
Upon arriving at the banquet hall,
the atmosphere reached its climax.
Chen Xiuhe and many others all stood up to greet the newlyweds.
Xue Anchong nodded slightly to the crowd.
Just at that moment, a hearty laughter was heard from outside.
“Congratulations to General Xue!”
General Xue?
What kind of title was this? Many were puzzled.
Suddenly, a great crowd of people filed in from the door.
The arrival of this group stunned everyone present.
That’s because most of the newcomers were generals, and the number was so great it seemed as though all the generals of Zhongdu had come.
Someone said in a trembling voice, “A hundred generals come to congratulate!”
Many people were shaken inside.
In Huaguo, there was a legend that if a wedding was congratulated by a hundred generals, the couple would be blessed with eternal happiness.
Of course, most often this was taken merely as a legend.
After all, who could invite a hundred generals to their wedding?
But today, Xue An had done just that.
Leading them was none other than General Yang.
He approached with a smile, took Xue An’s hand, and said, “General Xue, I was slightly delayed on the road and ended up late!”
A faint smile appeared on Xue An’s lips, and then he glanced at Chen Xiuhe standing proudly to the side, knowing for certain that this was his doing.
Although Xue An was not particularly impressed by the idea of a hundred generals giving their congratulations,
since they had come, and also provided such a splendid surprise, he had to consider giving some face.
Therefore, he nodded with a smile, “Thank you to all the generals for coming!”
“Don’t mention it, General Xue, after all, we are colleagues. You are getting married, and naturally, we ought to come here and share a toast!” Yang laughed heartily.
Many couldn’t hold back any longer.
Colleagues?
And addressing him repeatedly as General Xue!
What in the world was going on?
At this time, General Yang noticed the puzzled looks around him and smiled slightly, “Perhaps everyone is not aware! General Xue was in fact personally promoted to the rank of Vermilion Bird Major General by Great General Lin, and after some deliberation, we felt General Xue’s merits were numerous, so we decided to promote General Xue to the rank of Lieutenant General!”
Boom!
The entire hall was stunned.
Lieutenant General?
This was a truly high military rank in Huaguo!
Only a rank below Great General and First Class General!
At this point, countless envious gazes focused on Xue An.
Xue An merely smiled slightly and nodded, “Thank you to all the generals for your kindness!”
General Yang chuckled, “You’re being too polite, General Xue! With your achievements, this is truly well-deserved!”
Saying so, he personally took out the medal of a Lieutenant General and pinned it onto Xue An’s chest.
Then came the time for revelry.
More guests had arrived today than anticipated.
But Chen Xiuhe had come prepared.
He had already booked the entire kitchen staff from Zhongdu’s most renowned restaurants in advance,
and now several chef teams were busily working behind the scenes.
Dish after dish was served like flowing water.
An Yan obediently stood up.
