The next day, Zhang Zhen really came to the Tang Mansion again and asked what Huaizhen meant.

Huai Zhen relayed the words discussed with Xiao Tang last night to Zhang Zhen, Zhang Zhen listened to it, nodded again and again, and suddenly realized, very convinced, and couldn't help but say: "In the end, Lord Tang, I have thought about it so far, it can be seen how shallow I was before." ”

Huai Zhen smiled: "Except for him, no one else can think of it, I listened to his words, and I was just like my brother, I was stupid." ”

Zhang Zhen nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will discuss with the people of Baixiang Pavilion, this price is higher, I will not change it, they agreed, it is naturally a good thing for the benefit of thousands of people, everyone is happy, if they don't agree, it can be seen that their vision is shorter than ours, and it is okay not to partner with them." ”

Huai Zhen said: "Very much, yes, brother, go quickly." ”

Zhang Zhen really wanted to leave, just because he had just left the house early in the morning, and he heard from the young man that the people from Baixiang Pavilion had gone to the shop and were waiting for his reply...... When Zhang Zhen didn't stay for a long time, he went quickly.

After Zhang Zhen went, Huaizhen was very pleased, because he seriously turned out the books of the past, and wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and then study it, but after reading it for a while, someone outside came to report, saying that his uncle's wife was coming, Huaizhen listened, and immediately frowned.

It turned out that this uncle's wife was the sister of Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Tang's background was the eldest lady in the Wen Hanlin family, and the uncle's wife was the third, married to the Xingning Bolu family, and often had dealings with the Tang Mansion.

Since Huaizhen and Xiao Tang got married, I have also seen this Aunt Lu, but I am a little unsuitable, just because this Aunt Lu loves to talk the most, and she is not the kind of Ying Yu who will make people feel interesting in the noise, Mrs. Lu is like this, but she is a little open-mouthed, and likes to inquire about some gossip and then talk nonsense.

Because Huai Zhen understood her temperament, he occasionally saw her come to the house, so he just asked Mrs. Tang to accompany him after greeting her, and avoided it if he could.

In the previous year and festivals, there was no way to avoid it, and Aunt Lu really looked straightforward, and the words she said and asked were absurd every time she saw the village, which made Huaizhen laugh or be annoyed in her heart, but although Huaizhen was displeased, she never showed it on her face, just lightly.

However, in Aunt Lu's opinion, Huaizhen was born with such a soft appearance, and she never showed annoyance and coldness, she would not think that Huaizhen was for the sake of respecting the elder, so she did not have the same knowledge as her, but thought that Huaizhen was clumsy and couldn't speak.

What's more, when Xiao Tang got married, Aunt Lu also told Mrs. Tang a few times, but the Ying family and the Tang Mansion were not very compatible, and because she heard those rumors about Huaizhen, she was afraid that Mrs. Tang would not know, and she added fuel and vinegar and said a lot of Huaizhen is really not good.

Thanks to Mrs. Tang's heart, she knew what kind of person Huaizhen was, so instead of listening, she reprimanded Aunt Lu.

Therefore, Huaizhen heard that she was coming, and hurriedly called someone to inform Mrs. Tang, so he came out to socialize temporarily.

When Aunt Lu saw Huaizhen, her two eyes first looked at her from head to toe, and her eyes stopped at Huaizhen's slender waist, and she frowned a little suspiciously.

Seeing her look like this, Huai Zhen vaguely guessed why, but he still smiled and saluted, and said, "Aunt is here, she has always been well?" ”

Aunt Lu sat down and said, "Okay, you remember...... Recently, because of the busy family, I rarely come over, and you and your mother-in-law are okay? ”

Huaizhen said: "It's all right, aunt sit down for a while, I have already sent someone to invite my wife to come." ”

Aunt Lu nodded, still looking at Huaizhen: "Why don't you go over to shop these days?" ”

Huaizhen said: "Uncle forgiveness, because the family is also busy with some things, and the third master is also busy with official business, so he can't be idle, and the third master has a vacation another day, so he naturally goes to visit his aunt." ”

Aunt Lu smiled: "I also heard that the Ministry of Rites has been very lively recently." But in your house, there is actually no big deal, yes, the day before yesterday, it was your brother who got married? ”

Huaizhen said: "Yes." ”

Aunt Lu said: "Originally, I should have gotten married, but you, the sister-in-law, are married, and the eldest brother hasn't married yet, so what kind of system is it." ”

Huai Zhen only smiled and did not speak.

Aunt Lu looked at her and asked tentatively: "But speaking of which, you and Yi'er have been married for many days...... But have you ever been pregnant? It stands to reason that the time should have come......"

Huaizhen asked when she heard her speak directly, so he only smiled and said: "My aunt has been here for half a day, and I didn't persuade tea when I just talked, it was my rudeness, and my aunt drank tea to moisten my throat." ”

Aunt Lu touched a soft nail, so she had to raise her hand to serve tea, and at this moment, Mrs. Tang came out, and when the two sisters saw it, they naturally had a good greeting.

The two sat down, and Aunt Lu smiled and said: "Your nephew's daughter gave birth to her daughter a long time ago, but she asked you to send those things over, and she kept talking about waiting for the confinement and wanting to come to the house to thank you in person." ”

Mrs. Tang said: "No need, just ask her to take good care of herself." ”

Aunt Lu said: "Her body is fine, and the kid is also healthy, you will know it another day when you see it with your own eyes." ”

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "It's good that the mother and son are safe." Naturally, you will be happy, and you will be busy in the future. ”

Aunt Lu glanced at Huaizhen: "Why doesn't Huaizhen have any news yet?" ”

When Huai Zhen heard this, he was secretly annoyed in his heart: Aunt Fang Cai Lu had already asked for a while, and because she was blocked back, she should know that she didn't like to be asked, but now she didn't give up to ask Mrs. Tang...... Where is there such a blind person?

Mrs. Tang is so knowledgeable and has a good temperament, and her sister is like this, if it was before, Huaizhen would have turned her face a long time ago, and now she only looks at the face of Xiao Tang and Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang also looked at Huaizhen, seeing that her face was pale, she knew that she was not very happy: "They are all still young, what are they anxious about, there will always be something." ”

Aunt Lu couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister, what are you talking about, Huaizhen is still young, but how old is Yi'er?" Don't say anything else, let's just say that the girl of the Lin family, isn't that kid running all over the ground now? Even the second boy has a ......"

What Aunt Lu said was naturally Lin **, but these words just hit Mrs. Tang's heart and lungs.

Although Mrs. Tang was anxious, it was just not good to urge Xiao Tang and Huaizhen with bare eyebrows, but now when she heard her sister talk about it, and remembered that Aunt Lu had also mentioned a good opportunity before, she was impatient, because she sneered: "You are also anxious, I haven't said anything yet, you have a lot to say first...... ** gave birth to two boys, that is also because she married early, Huaizhen has only been married for a year...... Besides, this kind of thing can also be compared? ”

Aunt Lu saw that Mrs. Tang was annoyed, so she smiled and said, "Aren't I also worried about my nephew?" ”

When Huaizhen heard this, he got up and said with a smile: "Mrs., talk to your aunt freely, I can go and see how Sister Minli is." So saying, he bowed and went away.

When Mrs. Tang saw that Huaizhen was gone, she complained to Aunt Lu and said: "You should also take care of your mouth, Huaizhen is a child who doesn't say anything on the surface, and he must be annoyed in his heart." ”

Aunt Lu shook her head and said, "Sister, why do you seem to be afraid of this little girl...... It's good that she's gone, but it's not easy to say some things in front of her, look at her, born so thin and slender, where is a good birth? If it were another girl, I'm afraid that I would have believed it a long time ago! What I told you before, you just should be a deaf ear, Yi'er is this age, don't be in a hurry, when will you wait? There are so few people in your house, according to me, it is better to give Yi'er a room with a good concubine to give birth to, and give birth to a few more early, at least go to a heart! ”

Mrs. Tang was angry and laughing, annoyed and sighed, glared at Aunt Lu for a long time, and said: "I naturally look forward to my grandchildren, but I also cherish it really, not to mention whether she is easy to give birth to, I think she is like a daughter in my heart, no different from Minli...... When will she be born, I have waited for most of my life to wait for Yi'er to get married, and I will continue to wait for my grandchildren, so what are I anxious about? ”

Aunt Lu was stunned when she saw her defending Huaizhen like this.

Mrs. Tang said again: "What's more, although Yi'er is filial, I see that he has a true heart, and there is no room for anyone else in his eyes...... If he agrees, he will really have three wives and four concubines, and give birth to some children and grandchildren, and I will be grateful to you. ”

When Aunt Lu heard this, she was about to fall to the ground, it turned out that she knew that her eldest sister's temperament was the gentleest, so she often talked nonsense, but in the face of Xiao Tang...... But I just didn't dare to say much, and it was too late to be careful.

Now I heard Mrs. Tang call herself to tell Xiao Tang about taking a concubine, where did she dare to show such a face, because she said curtly: "Look at what my sister said, I am just for the good of your house, you will listen to what you think is right, and if you feel that it is wrong, just let me fart, why be angry." ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she smiled and shook her head: "Enough, the sisters have seen it, I have to say that these are not interesting, before, I was also heartbroken with Minli and Yi'er, but unfortunately it is always useless...... Why bother thinking about your grandchildren as if you can't get enough of them? Thou shalt not say this any more from any henceforth, or thou shalt ...... Don't come to me in the future, and I won't go to your house again. ”

Aunt Lu saw that she said so much categorically, and she really didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so she changed the topic and only said something else.

However, although Mrs. Tang reprimanded her sister, she was also a little resentful and bitter in her heart...... In fact, he is anxious about his grandchildren, and he still has to hold it on his face.

But said that although Huaizhen had an excuse to leave, he didn't really go, but he just hid behind the door and listened to what Aunt Lu said, and listened to Mrs. Tang's answer, and listened to Mrs. Tang reprimand Aunt Lu.

Huai Zhen was depressed, and did not go to Minli's room, but only went back to the room.

After a while, I heard outside that Aunt Lu was going, and Huaizhen didn't come out to greet her.

It's just that Mrs. Tang was worried that she was unhappy, so she came to visit, so Huaizhen had to cheer up and talk to her for a while.

Not to mention the Tang Mansion, Huaizhen was touched by Aunt Lu's visit and was depressed. Just said that at the same time, in the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Tang was also distressed by one thing.

Just because before, because of the news sent by the Silla Kingdom, the envoy was already on the way, and because of the canonization of the prince, he sent someone to Shun, and Xiao Tang sent the people from the Tongbunguan to ask how the people who knew the Silla language were doing.

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but change his color and have a state of distraction.

Xiao Tang noticed that something was wrong, and asked in detail, and when he asked, he realized that the original five people, two old and old, and one lingering sickbed, were all useless, and there were only two people left.

However, these two people, because of their youth and carelessness, neglected to practice, and were very unskilled, neither of them listened or spoke, but they were not on the stage.

Xiao Tang was furious, and ordered someone to severely punish the person responsible, but the messenger was already on the way, if he hurried, he was afraid that he would arrive in less than two or three months, and he hurriedly gathered the other people, although he could barely hear about it, but the face of a country was expressed most directly in this verbal exchange, and the dignified country was like this, how could he take it?

The person in charge of the Tongbunkan was still lucky, and actually said: "In the past, the envoys of the Silla Kingdom came to understand Chinese, and their communication was unmistakable, and they never used our people to follow the translation, so adults do not need to be anxious. ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he laughed less and less, and said: "The small country of Silla can still be proficient in my Chinese, but I am dignified Chinese, but I can't find anyone who can be proficient in their words?" If the people of the country are as arrogant and arrogant as you, they are complacent, and they are afraid that the country will not be a country! "Then call someone to drag it and beat it!

In the past few days, when Xiao Tang returned home at night, he was always angry or unhappy.

Just because cultivating a translator is not an overnight thing, where can you find someone who speaks fluently in a hurry? Although the person in charge deserves to die, Xiao Tang also blames himself: although he has only been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for a few years, he has always been busy with other things, and he is distracted, and because he also knows that Silla is only a small country, he can't help but be a little careless.

Xiao Tang couldn't help but regret when he thought about this, but he could only not forget the teacher of the future, and only warned himself: he should be more cautious and cautious in the future, and he should not be sloppy for half a minute, and he should take this as a lesson.

It was only a few days ago that the Ministry of Rites summoned those who could speak the Silla language.

And since the list came out, there have been many people who can speak Silla, but those with hateful faces cannot be taken, those with suspicious origins cannot be taken, and people of other races cannot be taken...... In this way, most of it was brushed off.

On this day, another person suddenly came, and all the people who checked the gate were all clear, and everyone was very praising him, so they pushed him to see Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang's level is also the last level, but if he agrees, he will naturally take it. It's just that the bottom man gave Xiao Tang's file to the comer, and Xiao Tang glanced down and felt that the name was a little familiar...... After looking at it carefully for a while, my heart was shocked!

It turned out that the name written on it was Wang Xi, but the identity was Wang Kexun's eldest son and now Ying Lanfeng's righteous son Wang Xi.

Xiao Tang hurriedly ordered someone to come in, and in an instant, sure enough, a figure appeared at the door, Xiao Tang glanced over, felt a little strange, and just didn't make a sound.

The man walked in with his head down, saluted before the case, and said, "The villain sees Tang Shilang." ”

Xiao Tang looked at "him" for a while, although he was shocked, he still had no expression on his face, and only said, "You are Wang Xi?" ”

The visitor nodded yes, and Xiao Tang asked, "Do you know Silla?" Listen to a few words. ”

Xiao Tang Yin also knows a few words of Silla dialect, but he just greets each other and is used every day, but when he listens to each other, he can also understand the general situation. Seeing him so ordered, Wang Xi was silent for a moment, and then he really opened his mouth and said a few words.

Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows, listening to his words, it was really a serious Silla tone, and it was rare that there was no noise, but the voice was also beautiful. Merely......

Xiao Tang sneered slightly and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Wang Xi's body shook, but he still didn't dare to look up: "The villain speaks Silla." ”

Xiao Tang said: "Don't the officials know? Just ask what you speak in Silla and what is translated into Chinese. ”

Wang Xi paused, and finally said: "He single-handedly confronted the enemy, rushing left and right, unstoppable, and the arrogant crowd retreated one after another, only killing until the twilight covered the earth, and the ice and snow will surely be on the glacier, engraved with his peerless achievements." ”

Xiao Tang remembered these words as soon as he heard them, when he sent Princess Qingxian and his relatives back, the native people on the road led the way, and once sang this folk song of their own people, saying that it was dedicated to Xiao Tang - Xiao Tang didn't know it at that time, who knew that after that, it really came true.

At this moment, Xiao Tang stared at Wang Xi, and sneered again: "Where did you hear that?" ”

Wang Xi still hung his head and said respectfully: "There was once a guest who traveled in the southwest, saying that the southwest is very popular, and if you are afraid of walking at night, you will sing this local song, which can drive away evil spirits and keep tigers and wolves away." ”

Xiao Tang was silent, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

Wang Xi took a deep breath: "However, the villain also knows that this song was originally about Lord Tang." ”

At this time, Wen Ping Chen Ji, the two waiters on Xiao Tang's left and right, heard this, they were all amazed, and they both felt that this Wang Xi was really a rare genius, and he was changing rapidly, and he could "do what he liked" like this, and shoot the horse so wonderfully.

The two glanced at each other, tacitly acknowledging each other, and they both felt that it was really intolerable for this person not to stay in the Ministry of Rites.

Suddenly, Xiao Tang said lightly: "Do you know what is the most important one for the Ministry of Rites to recruit translators?" ”

This is unheard of, even the waiter looked puzzled, but Wang Xi also became smart, so he said: "As a translator, the most important thing is to be faithful to the original intention and understand the words. ”

Xiao Tang said: "You raise your head." ”

Wang Xi's hanging hands clenched tightly, and finally slowly raised his head, but saw that it was Zhang Ji's delicate face.

Xiao Tang stared into his eyes and said with a slight sneer: "With your actions, where can you call the word 'faith'?" ”

When Wang Xi heard this, his eyes slowly widened.

Xiao Tang smiled, there was only indifference and coldness in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Go out!" "It's just two words, but it's like a ruthless blade, cutting people and breaking their intestines.

Wang Xi's face suddenly turned white, and he took a step back, but he could barely walk, he only staggered out of the door, and the two attendants were stunned by the side, so far they were very surprised, but they didn't dare to interject rashly.
