The Mongolian party got up early in the morning and hurried to go to court.
Well, in fact, he didn't sleep much last night. He was tormented by the etiquette officer sent by the palace all night long.
I was pushed around to learn various postures and found faults with, this was not right, that was not right, almost nothing was right at all!
Meng Fang, who was born in a rural village, never thought that he would be so particular when entering the palace to meet the king.
Fortunately, he now has considerable cultivation, so a night without rest is nothing.
At this moment, I was already in front of the main hall, waiting quietly.
But before him, many generals were already waiting here.
"But General Mongolia?"
"It's exactly a certain family. Dare I ask..."
"A certain family is free to help!"
"A certain Wang Jian!"
"A certain Qinyue family!"
"A certain family is troublesome!"
"A certain Ma Tian!"
"A certain Wu Yun!"
The Mongolian side greeted them one by one.
But when he heard the name 'Fei Shen,' he finally couldn't help but have a weird look on his face.
From here to there, it sounds like this person should be the head of the Fei family.
It's just...since he is the head of the Fei family, it is really...appropriate to choose such a name!
With a family like that, all of them are guys who spit out fragrance whenever they open their mouths. Even if you want to say it without any effort, it seems that you can't do it!
"I came to Mongolia as a junior student and met all the elders!"
Meng Fang used all his intelligence and wisdom to try to remember the names and appearances of the people in front of him.
None of these people are ordinary. If you recognize the wrong person next time you meet, you will be greatly offending someone!
It's just that every one of these generals is very affectionate towards Mongolia.
One person patted him on the shoulder, another person punched him in the chest, and his words and deeds did not mean to treat him as an outsider.
Most of them were people with military experience. They got to know each other in a short period of time, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Old General Fei Shen stepped forward and patted Xiang Fang on the shoulder: "Young man is in good spirits, but his martial arts is a bit weak. He needs to work harder in the future!"
Meng Fang smiled bitterly: "Yes,"
How can he not be weak? A rural villager like him started too late and had almost no foundation. Even after three years of fierce fighting and training in life and death until now, he is only at the peak of his innate cultivation, which is still far from the human level.
One step away.
Not to mention the higher earth level and higher heaven level...
But these old guys in front of them are extremely advanced practitioners. They can almost blow themselves to death with just a breath. There is no compromise at all.
"You really started a little late."
Wang Jian felt a little emotional and said: "But it doesn't matter. To be a general, you should not rely on bravery and ruthlessness. Commanding the army is the first element."
"That's what the old general said."
"To talk about it in detail, you are still Xinyu's old subordinate. You must have been a lot angry with him in the past, right?" Fei Shen asked with a smile.
"No way, Fei Shuai is usually quite kind to the young general."
"kind?"
Several old guys laughed loudly: "Even if you are looking after your old boss's face, you shouldn't say such things against your will. We know that guy's virtue very well."
Meng Fang was stunned and said: "Fei Shuai may be a little rude to other people, but he is not...not too harsh towards the young general. In daily communication, there are almost no swear words. The young general secretly thinks that
Fei Shuai has a poisonous tongue and dirty mouth, but he is just spreading lies."
"???"
After hearing Meng Fang's words, all the veteran generals immediately looked at each other with doubts.
Who is Fei Xinyu? He is the direct descendant of the Fei family's poisonous tongue. He has mastered it without a teacher, and he also possesses unique skills in the dirty tongue, which is unparalleled in the world.
It is a well-known characteristic. In addition to his father-in-law, there are also a group of generals and elders who
In addition to the fact that I don’t dare to be arrogant, there is no one I talk to who doesn’t take care of his dirty mouth. I am so casual and talk about it all the time. But when it comes to this kid’s mouth, it is just like ordinary things.
The military is like a rough guy.
But this guy speaks sincerely, doesn’t it look like he’s lying?
But... is this possible?
Just bother Xinyu, that shithole... actually don't curse?
No dirty mouth?
The sun rises from the west?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!
At this moment, a stout figure stepped out from the crowd, looking at Meng Fang twisting his neck with a ferocious smile on his face: "You're here... you bastard, it's because of you that I let you
I have been wronged so much and scolded so much. When I return to Xianyang this time, how can I spare you, this bastard!"
The speaker was none other than Ma Qiange!
The look in his eyes when he thought about Meng Fang was really full of resentment, well... there was even a bit of resentment!
Just because this kid had a wife, Ma Qiange, Wu Tiejun, and Tan Xinyu were bombarded by these old guys in turn. It was so miserable that it made them cry and make them sad!
Now that I see the culprit, how can I not feel angry?
Meng Fang naturally knew Ma Qiange, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Brother Ma, what does this mean? I asked myself, I didn't offend you."
"You didn't offend me? How dare you say you didn't offend me?"
Ma Qiange was furious: "In the whole world, you are the one who has offended me the most! Boy, let me tell you, I and you are irreconcilable!"
Monk Zhang Er was increasingly puzzled. Just when he was about to say something, he saw that Ma Qian Ge had already rushed up and grabbed him by the collar of his clothes. He said angrily, "I've been drunk for a hundred times without you.
I won’t recognize you as my brother no matter what!”
Meng Fang's lips twitched: "Brother Ma, little brother... my drinking capacity is really limited, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you..."
"No! You have to get drunk before you stop, otherwise our grudges will be difficult to resolve. You kid, think about it!"
The Ma Qiange faction refused to accept the money, but the conditions they proposed... were not difficult at all.
Ma Tian said angrily: "How dignified are you? How dignified are you?"
Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward, hit Ma Qiange on the back of the head with a knife, and said angrily: "Not to mention that the Mongolian people are generals, why are you yelling at others, who are you relying on?
Power? Just say that your mother-in-law can’t even find a wife, so why are you so embarrassed to blame General Meng Fang! Where’s your face? Your grandfather’s face has been completely shamed by you!”
Ma Qiange said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, in front of so many people, my grandson is embarrassed..."
"You still have a butt cheek!"
Ma Tian blows his beard and stares: "There are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is to have no hens! You said you haven't even found a hen, how can you talk about laying eggs? You are clinging to your ancestors and making people laugh. Why don't you get out of here!"
Ma Qiange walked away and quickly disappeared into the crowd, without even having time to say another word to the Mongolian side.
Meng Fang looked confused. He really didn't understand what was going on, so he heard a shout: "Your Majesty is going to court!"
The great meeting has begun.
The Mongolian side followed the old generals into the main hall.
There is someone in front of you, so you don’t have to worry about where to stand.
Well, it seems that I am ranked behind Ma Qiange. According to the order of generals, this is... the twelfth position?
Behind him, there were about twenty generals.
Some of them were friendly and smiling towards themselves, while others had expressions of dissatisfaction and resentment...
As for the civil service sequence opposite...
Meng Fang simply stopped watching.
Because the eyes that looked at him were rarely kind.
However, the Mongolian side really didn't care about this and followed the example of several veterans to close their eyes and rest their minds.
But this attitude made the civil service group opposite even more dissatisfied - it was already very distasteful for those veteran killers to close their eyes and meditate. Now you, a junior, actually... start to close your eyes and meditate? Want to do it early?
Pension for the elderly?
This...how is this inappropriate?!
The handsome and majestic Emperor Qin is walking like a dragon and a tiger,
All the ministers were present.
Emperor Qin ordered him to be dead.
So everyone sat down one after another.
The etiquette in the Jinluan Palace of Qin State was actually not that complicated. Even in the main hall of the imperial court, those with higher status had seats.
As usual, I came up to inquire about military and state affairs, people's livelihood, appointment and dismissal of officials, etc... After all the matters were dealt with in a streamlined manner.
Finally it was time to meet alone.
Emperor Qin smiled and said: "It is said that today our Great Qin's legendary general, military rookie, and invincible commander, General Mongolia, came to Beijing for the first time. Is General Meng here? Let me see my military god!"
Fei Shen shook his hand and slapped Meng Fang on the buttocks with a moderate force. The meaning could not be more obvious: Your Majesty is calling you.
But the snapping sound was too understandable.
Meng Fang covered his butt and stood up in confusion.
I have been paying attention to His Majesty's call and have been fully prepared for it.
But you keep slapping me on the butt, which makes me nervous...
"Young general Meng Fang, please see your majesty!"
Emperor Qin looked at Meng Fang with a face full of satisfaction and said: "General Meng is indeed a majestic figure! I didn't expect you to be so young.
"Your Majesty praises you, but this young general is frightened. A few years ago, this young general was just a villager. He received your majesty's favor, the protection of the great Qin nation, and the help of his lord, and he has just made great achievements. He is extremely lucky."
Emperor Qin smiled, looked at Mongolia's eyes, and became more and more appreciative, and said leisurely: "General Mongolia, when you first entered the army three years ago, you were just a small soldier. And you were a third-level food transport soldier. However, after that,
In three and a half years, I went through two hundred and seventy-five battles!"
Emperor Qin said in a more serious tone: "Victory in every battle, victory in every battle!"
When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
This is the first time I have heard of such a record.
"In the first battle, two enemies were killed. From then on, every battle must be preceded and every battle must be successful. From a third-level grain soldier to a general, the Mongolian general appointed all the military positions in Da Qin! No positions were omitted.
!The battle achievements and results are flawless. Not only does he deserve the title of general, he is even promoted a little late!"
After hearing what Emperor Qin said, the generals in the hall who were still a little dissatisfied couldn't help but show respect.
Because of such a resume, there is no way to fake it. There is only one possibility, and that is: meritorious service must be made in every battle, and then promotion will be based on military merit in every battle.
It’s really just like this, step by step, you can achieve success in any position!
This is almost a resume of positions in the Qin army!
Even Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu had never had such a meritorious experience, and they were both heartbroken by it.
But all soldiers know how difficult it is to actually achieve this step.
Old General Wang Jian coughed and said, "General Mengfang, from the time he joined the army until today, he has suffered 1,735 wounds in three and a half years!"
As soon as General Wang said these words, the entire hall suddenly fell into an atmosphere of silence.
One thousand, seven hundred and thirty-five scars?!
Although injuries are common in this war-torn era, what does it mean to have more than 1,700 scars on my body?
It’s just like living bruises all over your body!
Even if it's Ling Chi, how many swords are there?
The time it took to create these scars was only about three and a half years!
Who can bear it among idle people?
Especially for some civil servants, they feel even more ashamed when they think about how their oily skin usually hurts for a long time and requires several days of maintenance.
Thinking about the fact that people were injured more than 1,700 times on the battlefield...it was a life-and-death struggle every moment!
"I have to say that General Meng Shang is the legend of our Great Qin! A living legend!"
Emperor Qin laughed heartily, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"Sincerely set an example for our army of Great Qin!"
Several old generals sighed.
Fei Shen said: "Your Majesty said that Meng Fang is a living legend, and I deeply agree with him."
He laughed and said: "Normally, I have been fighting on the battlefield for my whole life and experienced more than 1,300 major and minor battles. But the more than 1,300 battles I have experienced took a total of more than 200 years."
"If calculated on average, although I have a lot of combat experience in this life, in terms of injuries, I'm afraid it's only a fraction of General Meng's! I'm really ashamed.
"And what's even more legendary is..."
"General Meng endured these more than 1,700 injuries with his flesh and blood, but he didn't die! And he was still alive and kicking all the way up the ranks, until today he became a general. This is simply cheating! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have seen it several times
If you check it yourself, you won’t believe it even if you beat me to death!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The word cheating simply speaks to the hearts of the generals.
Suddenly everyone wanted to talk.
It is indeed such an experience that I cannot describe it other than cheating.
Ma Tian laughed loudly and said: "You all know that I am in charge of reporting military exploits in the army. In the past three years or so, every time I saw the Mongolian boy's achievements, I would check them carefully to see.
Is there something fishy? It’s just because I don’t really believe that there are such natural military talents in the world. But every time I check, it’s true every time!”
All the old generals laughed heartily. Mr. Ma undoubtedly spoke what everyone was thinking at this moment.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, if you don't really check it, it's still hard to believe.
But that's the truth.
This boy from Mengfang is really like God's illegitimate son. He has been seriously injured and dying countless times, but he can always recover in a very short time and go to the battlefield again.
On this point alone, several old guys have already lamented countless times: This kid is definitely God's illegitimate son!
Otherwise, how could it be so?
"If you didn't tell me about this, I really wouldn't have thought of this..."
Emperor Qin laughed heartily and said, "Cover the general, can you let me see the injuries on your body?"
Wang Jian was the first person in the military department. Hearing the sound, he immediately shouted: "Meng Fang, take off your clothes!"
Meng Fang held the hem of his clothes with both hands and felt a little embarrassed: "Do you want to have sex?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As soon as Mongolia's words came out, the hall, which had suddenly fallen into silence, turned into an uproar of laughter.
A few old guys laughed so hard that they burst into tears. They trembled and said, "No need to fuck, no need to fuck, I'll let you keep a pair of obscene pants. Hahaha, alive."
Mongolian coughed dryly, without any hesitation or hesitation, just as if he was following military orders.
In fact, people in the military have long been accustomed to taking off their clothes and going shirtless in the army. Now, with a push of both hands, the shirtless body was stripped with a pop, exposing the chest and back.
"Okay." Wang Jian took a long breath and hurriedly stopped.
Taking off this much is enough——
I saw the Mongolian side from the neck down to the waist, the chest, the back, the shoulders on both sides...
There are dense scars, one after another, one after another. Many scars are stacked on top of each other and intertwined.
Looking at it, there is almost no good meat, and everything is covered with blood and flesh.
When everyone looked at his face carefully, they could vaguely see the countless traces of healed wounds.
"Actually, I don't have as many scars on my body now as before..."
Meng Fang scratched his head and smiled: "When the young general was in the position of captain, Marshal Fei Xinyu once gave the miracle doctor a life-threatening elixir. The scars have disappeared a lot. If you look at it at that time, there will be almost no scars.
"Keep it."
The hall fell into silence again.
A lot has been eliminated...it's still so dense!
Too many to count!
What would happen if it had not been eliminated once?
Just unimaginable!
big
Everyone knows the effectiveness of Feng Shen's medical elixir. With Meng Fang's humble cultivation when he was a school captain, taking the elixir is enough to make him completely reborn and heal all his scars. Especially now, with the accumulation of injuries, you can imagine
And know.
Emperor Qin sighed with emotion: "The blood that Meng Qing left for our country must not be forgotten by our great Qin!"
He took off his black mink velvet cloak, stepped down from the throne, and put it on Meng Fang with his own hands. He said with some emotion: "Let me protect you from the cold for Meng Qing."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Meng Fang said hurriedly: "I don't dare."
Even if the emperor's clothes are given to you, you cannot wear them immediately. You must refuse them.
"Please accept it, sir!"
Qin Huang held his hand and said deeply: "Meng Fang, you are worth it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Meng Fang clasped his hands and put the clothes he had taken off back on, then carefully folded the clothes given by Emperor Qin and held them in his arms.
"I promise you to wear my robe when fighting on the battlefield, and use this collar robe as the base to make a battle robe for the general!"
Qin Huang said in every word: "If there is any injury, no guilt but merit!"
It has always been a high honor to be given robes by the emperor, but when it comes to allowing soldiers to wear their own robes to fight, it is even unprecedented!
It was damaged, but it was a great honor to be found guilty and meritorious!
All the civil servants nearby had their eyes turned blue, and they were filled with envy and jealousy.
At the moment when Emperor Qin put on the robe for Mongolia, Emperor Qin's hand was holding the jade seal of national destiny.
The dragon's energy stirred quietly.
At the moment when Qi and energy merged, he actually felt a connection with the masked general in front of him.
That kind of connection is unreal but does exist, like a bond for life and death...
What's more, after trying to contact him like this, Emperor Qin clearly felt that the luck in the national luck seal was growing rapidly!
This growth can even be felt! It’s very clear and obvious!
Emperor Qin’s heart suddenly jumped!
This Mongolian side...can actually increase the national destiny, and it is so obvious?!
The effect was almost immediate, so who exactly is he?!
Emperor Qin looked at Meng Fang with deep eyes, thinking carefully in his heart.
what is going on.
He even had an absurd thought in his mind: Could it be that any of his ancestors from past generations had been reincarnated?
But I feel like this idea is really ridiculous.
So give it up immediately.
But precisely because of this connection of fate, Emperor Qin developed a sense of trust.
Because this feeling, this connection of destiny, is not found in other generals.
Including Wang Jian, the number one person in the Qin army, and other generals, none of them had this feeling of being connected by fate.
This made Emperor Qin subconsciously regard Meng Fang as his confidant.
Therefore, I will not be stingy when it comes to rewards.
"Pass the decree. Confer the title of Mongolian general to the country. Give him a half-dragon talisman, a three-army sword, and a bounty..."
The reward made all the civil and military officials look at him with surprise.
But something even more surprising lies behind.
Mongolia actually declined.
"I sincerely request your Majesty to reward the meritorious officers, and I am sure that Your Majesty will be generous to the fallen soldiers. The young general's merits are meager, and it is all thanks to the sacrifice of his brothers that he can achieve this meager merit..."
In and out of words, he was asking for merit for his subordinates.
Emperor Qin lowered his face and said, "You would rather not take the credit for yourself, but share it with all the soldiers?"
"yes!"
The Mongolian side did not hesitate at all: "Your Majesty, please grant me permission."
Emperor Qin laughed heartily.
Old General Wang Jian laughed so hard that his beard trembled, and said: "Silly boy! The canonization of generals is a matter for our military department and is not discussed here. The only one who can go to the court hall is the chief general."
"But don't worry, I won't treat your brothers badly.
our!"
Everyone laughed together.
Only then did Meng realize that he had made a mistake and said: "Then, young general, I would like to ask your majesty for your permission. The things your majesty has given you can be distributed among your subordinates."
This is something that must be requested.
If you transfer something awarded by the emperor to others without authorization, you will be punished.
On weekdays, it's okay, but once something happens, this kind of thing will be brought up and treated as a serious crime.
But if the emperor agreed in advance, then it would be fine.
"I'm sure!"
Emperor Qin admired it more and more.
"Young general, I have one more thing to ask of you."
"speak!"
"When will we attack South Korea? Mongolia please be the vanguard!"
Emperor Qin smiled meaningfully and said, "It is said that the group of people who assassinated you outside the capital were Koreans? Do you want revenge?"
Wang Jian winked desperately.
I mean, don't tell the truth.
A general who is too vengeful will be feared.
But the Mongolian side had already spoken out directly, saying: "I brought my brothers to the court to be granted a title. Everyone along the way fantasized about being granted a wife and a son, and a happy life. But outside the capital, three hundred heroes were killed in one battle!"
"
"Even in the midst of an army of ten thousand horses, they did not die in battle; yet they were assassinated by villains at the gate of their own house. This is a tone I cannot bear to swallow!"
Emperor Qin narrowed his eyes.
He slowly asked: "If you can't swallow it, so what?"
There was already an air of oppression in the voice.
However, the Mongolian side said loudly and loudly: "For the sake of the great Qin Dynasty! For your majesty's grand plan! For the sake of our brothers who died in battle! ... I... Meng Fang!"
His voice was sonorous: "For Your Majesty, I am willing to destroy a country first!"
The main hall was immediately in an uproar!
Emperor Qin raised his hand slightly to stop everyone from talking.
He looked at Meng Fang's face and said calmly: "Above the Golden Palace, you must be careful what you say."
"I would like to issue a military order!"
"good!"
Emperor Qin laughed loudly: "I agree!"
Yes!
These two words shocked the entire court.
This is equivalent to Emperor Qin announcing to the world: I will begin to unify!
The war to destroy the country has officially begun!
After the court meeting.
The reward items had already been sent to the General's Mansion by the chamberlain.
Wang Jian left the Mongolian side: "Are you not satisfied with the pension plan proposed by the military department?"
"Yes! Too little!"
Mongolian Fang Zhitong's words made Qin's first general almost roll his eyes.
"Aren't you satisfied with the proposed official position?"
"I am satisfied with the official positions of the brothers who are still there. But I cannot agree with the posthumous titles of the brothers who have passed away!"
Meng Fang said bluntly: "Too low!"
Wang Jian twisted his nose in anger: "Do you know how many people are staring at this posthumous title? Do you think it is appropriate to grant titles to your subordinates?"
"suitable!"
Wang Jian was speechless and then became furious: "How about you make this chair for me?"
"also!"
"Get out!"
Old General Wang Jian was furious and kicked the newly promoted general out of the military headquarters.
Ma Qiange and a few other guys who were chatting at the entrance of the military branch saw the Mongolian side being thrown out of the gate by the old general, and finally kicked the Mongolian side viciously on the butt.
With a clang, the door to the military headquarters was closed directly.
There was a loud bang.
The Mongolian side hit a big tree on the roadside and bounced back.
In extreme embarrassment, he fell in front of Ma Qiange.
The corners of Ma Qiange's mouth twitched, wanting to laugh but holding back.
"How on earth did you offend Mr. Boss? Are you so angry?"
The Mongolian side looked depressed: "I am asking for a posthumous title for the brothers who died in the battle. Veteran
Jun asked me to sit in his seat, and I agreed...and then I was beaten out."
He scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Maybe you are afraid that I will steal the position?"
"God is so afraid that you will take your place!"
Ma Qiange was convinced.
It’s great to be uneducated.
You can be as wild as you want.
"Okay, let's go have a drink."
Ma Qiange sighed and couldn't help but think of his brothers who died in the battle.
What is certain is that after Mongolia's fall, his brothers who died in battle will all have their titles increased by one level.
Because, the dignified general was expelled from the military headquarters in disgrace and even kicked away.
This is Mongolia’s face.
In other words, Mongolia used his own face in exchange for an increase in posthumous title! And Mongolia himself does not know this yet.
Ma Qiange couldn't help but think: What if I could have acted miserably back then?
Why is it that with so many generals in the Qin Dynasty, only Fei Xinyu and Wu Tiejun are the only ones who can obtain the greatest benefits for their subordinates?
Because one of them is shameless and the other is stubborn.
If you don’t give it, I will bring out my shameless and stubborn nature to the extreme!
Although he has a bad reputation in the court, if you ask all the generals of the Qin army, who is not willing to follow these two men?
Almost no one is unwilling!
You can put my face on the ground and step on it!
But you cannot lose any of the benefits of my brothers!
And now, there is another Mongolian who can do this!
Ma Qiange knew clearly that after this fall, Meng Fang's status was completely superior to his!
Thinking about himself, Ma Qiange still sighed.
I can not.
Although he looks majestic outside, in front of these old guys, he can't speak clearly when they stare at him.
I have been afraid of being beaten since I was a child...
It's unthinkable to act recklessly in front of them.
"I envy you." Ma Qiange patted Meng Fang on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Meng Fang was puzzled.
"Stop talking and go drink!"
"I still want to go home and be with my wife..."
"Can you not mention your wife?" Ma Qiange was depressed. For your wife, how many beatings have I received during this time? How many scoldings!
Do you still mention it now?
Meng Fang said: "You can drink at any time, but you don't have much time to spend with your wife. We have to go back to the battlefield soon, so you should go home and spend time with your wife."
Ma Qiange was completely speechless: "So many colleagues in the capital are waiting for you, why are you so disrespectful?"
"To save face...can you live with me?"
One sentence completely defeated Ma Qiange.
"Your uncle's!"
"I've long heard that you talk about living your life, but it's really like this when I see you today!"
"Don't you live well?" Meng Fang asked curiously.
Ma Qiange was speechless: "Mengfang, you are also a general, and you are one of the top figures in our military. Are you going through life and death to dominate the world just to live with your wife?"
Meng Fang said: "Yes."
So simple.
Seeing the confident and hesitant Meng Fang, Ma Qiange was completely defeated.
Next to him, a general said: "How about we go to General Meng's house to drink?"
"Hey... that's okay, Meng Fang. If you don't want to go drink with us, how about I go drink with you?" Ma Qiange said.
Meng Fang looked helpless: "...This...I will go back in advance to discuss it with my wife..."
In his impression, when he goes home to drink, his wife has to cook.
Are Rou'er willing to work for a while?
This is what you need to ask.
Ma Qiange vomited blood: "Is this what you need to ask?"
"Never mind, never mind, I'm going to drink with you anyway."
Mongolia had no choice but to stay in front
lead the way.
With a look on his face, he sighed: "It would be great if we all go back to our respective homes to find wives..."
"Get out of here, uncle, if you mention the word wife again, I'll be in trouble with you!"
