Chapter 54: Guidance
After a multi-card, a caravan appeared on the road from Hanning to Lingling.
The first was a middle-aged man in his fifties with two small children next to him.
In Lingling County, a small soldier ran in and said to the guards outside the door: "Tell the Queen Mother that the caravan of the Wang family and the Yan family will arrive in Lingling soon."
The janitor listened, nodded, and walked in.
At this time, Lingling's grandmaster Wang Chen was writing an official document when he saw the guards at the door coming in.
The security guard nodded. "Yes, sir," he said.
Wang Chen nodded and said, "I understand." Go down and make them ready, and I myself will meet them.
The guard said a word and followed Wang Chen's instructions.
When Wang Chen saw that the guards were leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you can send someone to the palace by the way."
The man nodded and left.
Then, after processing another official document, Wang Chen stood up, looked at the empty Da Shoufu with a smile, and said to himself, "It's finally here."
In fact, Wang Chen knew how dangerous this journey was.
But he was relieved to learn that they would be coming with Yan's guards.
After all, if Yan's family was protecting them, they shouldn't have any big problems.
However, if you encounter powerful bandits, it can be difficult.
Now, no matter what, they can reach Lingling safely.
Wang Chen then walked out of the mansion, and this time, Wang Nu and his team had already arranged the caravan on the post station.
The old man lived with Wang Nu and Yan Gang and went to the county.
Wang Nu looked at Lingling County curiously as he walked.
Although the world is not peaceful now, when Wang Nu looked at the people of Lingling County, he did not feel hungry.
Wang Nuwei's affirmation of Wang Chen's level of governance.
You know, there are still a lot of people who are buying officials, and it's still the age of materialism.
In contrast, the government is putting increasing pressure on ordinary people.
Therefore, many will be forced, to mow the grass for the invaders.
However, since entering the royal city, although there are still many hungry people in some places, encounters with bandits are rare.
Perhaps, there is also a reason that the presence of a stern family elite scares off many laughs.
However, Wang Nu believes that this has something to do with Wang Chen's ability.
Now, seeing Lingling's situation, Wang Nu is more sure of his thoughts.
Outside the Dashou Mansion, Wang Chen saw an old man and his group, and greeted him with a smile.
The old man also smiled when he saw Wang Chen. He hurried to meet him.
The two met and hugged tightly. Later, they separated, and Wang Chen said with a smile: "Brother Xing, you haven't grown old since you separated."
Lao Wang shook his head with a smile and said, "Ji Ning (played by Wang Chenzi) Emperor Xian, my brother's health is not as good as before, and now is the time for the younger generation to show themselves."
Old man Wang took the queen's hand and said to Wang Chen, "Ji Ning, let me introduce you to Queen Ganzi."
Wang Nu looked at Wang Chen with smart eyes.
Wang Chen is quite elegant and mature.
After listening to the old man's self-introduction, Wang Nu bowed and said, "King Xiaonuo has met Uncle Wang Chen."
Wang Chen saw Wang Nu's smart eyes, full of wisdom and politeness, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard that there was a thousand miles of horses in our Wang family, and it turned out to be the heir of my Wang family.
Wang Nu listened to Wang Chen's words and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang Chen's praise, the little nephew is just a little expert, and it depends on the uncle's ideas."
After listening to Wang Chen's words, Wang Chen found that he was not proud, and said with a smile: "Well, I am not proud, nor am I impatient. The future is absolutely limitless. ”
At this time, Old Man Wang took Yan Gang's hand and said, "Ji Ning, this is the son of the Yan family, Yan Gang."
When Yan Gang heard this, he put his hands together and said, "Yan Gang has met his uncle." At the same time, my father also asked him to take care of my uncle Wang Chen. ”
When Wang Chen saw the strong and polite Yan Gang, he smiled and said, "My good nephew has taken me to thank Yan Yixian." If I have time, I will invite my father to visit Lingling. ”
Wang Zhen said to him: "Brother Xing, young people are terrible.
The old man smiled and nodded, indicating that he felt the same way.
Wang Chenchen smiled and said, "Look, Guangding is talking. Please come on in. ”
Immediately, a pedestrian walked into the Taishou Mansion, and Wang Chen arranged them into a room.
Later, Wang Chen said, "Please wait here for a while." Later in the evening, please come to my house for dinner.
Lao Wang knew what was important, and said with a smile: "Ji Ningxian, go." We'll take care of ourselves. ”
Wang Chen announced his crime, left the side room, and returned to the main hall to handle government affairs.
When Wang Chen left, the three of them sat idly for 50 minutes, sitting and chatting.
"What do you think of your uncle, Noor?" He asked with a smile.
Wang Nu thought for a while and said, "Uncle Wang Chen is very old and very shrewd. If he were to govern the world, he would be a good official. In my opinion, it is more than enough to govern a country.
"How about governing a country?" He asked, smiling.
Wang Nu thought for a while and said, "If we want to govern a country, if someone can help Uncle Wang Chen, it won't be a problem. If Uncle Wang Chen was alone, I'm afraid it would be difficult. ”
Hearing Wang Nu's words, Wang Nu not only did not blame him, but asked curiously, "Why?"
Because Old Man Wang thought that it was easy for Wang Chen to govern a country, it was obvious that his qualifications for governing a county were too high.
However, Wang Nu said that Wang Chen was only suitable for governing one county, but Wang Nu did not know why.
But Wang Nu said: "If Uncle Wang Chen governs a country, it will be difficult for him to do everything, and it will be difficult for him to make sure that every detail is not wrong. Therefore, Uncle Wang Chen cannot govern such a country. ”
Then, Wang Nu said: "According to my observation, the mausoleum ruled by Uncle Wang Chen is very rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
"Uncle Wang Chen," he continued, "has been working hard to run a county. And a state is not a county, so Uncle Wang Chen's Nuyan has only one county.
When Lao Wang heard this, he fell into deep thought, because the more Lao Wang thought about it, the more he felt that what Wang Nu said was reasonable.
So, the old man smiled and didn't say anything more, obviously acquiescing to Wang Nu's opinion. Later, Wang Nu, Wang Laohan, Yan Gang and others all made some boring remarks, but they didn't talk about Wang Chen.
The three of them chatted and chatted, and the sky gradually turned late, until someone came in and lit a lamp, Wang Nu and Wang Laoyan just woke up, and the sky was already late.
However, Wang Chen seemed to be still busy with official business, but he still did not show up.
Yan Gang said a little confused: "Will you forget that my uncle is late?"
Before the old man could speak, Wang Nu shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Wang has been very busy. Everything in Lingling County must be reviewed by Uncle Wang Chen. It's normal to come so late. ”
Yan Gang nodded and stopped.
However, when Lao Wang saw this situation, he couldn't help but agree with Wang Nu even more.
Wang Chen is only suitable for governing a county, not a state.
After saying that, the three of them didn't care, but continued to talk.
Most of them were said by Wang Nu and Yan Gang, but Wang Gang only interjected a few words occasionally.
After all, peers have more in common.
The three of them didn't know how long it took for Wang Chen to come in.
Wang Chen walked in with a tired face. Seeing that Wang was still trying to cheer up, he said apologetically, "Brother Xing, my business has ended up now. Please forgive me for any neglect. ”
Lao Wang shook his head and said, "Ji Ning doesn't have to be like this first.
Old man Wang said: "Ji Ningxian, if you do this for a long time, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it."
Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I don't have any excellent people here. Therefore, I have to do a lot of things myself, otherwise how can we live up to Lingling's people.
When Lao Wang heard this, he no longer persuaded him, but sighed and said, "Brother Ji Ningxian has worked hard.
Wang Chen shook his head and said, "The world that has settled down, even if it is hard, is happy."
Then Wang Chen continued: "It's too late now. I had some food and drink in the palace. Today I am preparing for my younger brother Xing and his nephew Wang Nuxian.
Lao Wang is not exaggerating, but his hand said: "Brother Ji Ningxian's heart."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "The Analects says: 'It is a pleasure to have friends from afar.
After speaking, Wang Chen made a "please" gesture.
Old man Wang walked out, Wang Chen followed him, and they talked and laughed as they walked.
Wang Nu and Yan Gang walked slowly behind them.
The palace is not far from Da Shou Fu, so it is not far from Da Shou Fu either.
The people in the palace had already heard the news that Wang Chen was coming back, and they also knew that Lao Wang, Wang Nu, and Yan Gang were also following behind, so they went out to meet him.
So before they reached the palace, they saw that the palace was brightly lit and a woman was standing in front of them.
When Wang Chen and the others came to the palace, Wang Chen took the old woman's hand and said to the old man, "This is just a despicable Nero."
The woman bowed slightly to the old man, and the old man bowed back. Wang Chen asked Lu, "Is the rice ready?"
Lu also looked very virtuous, nodded and said, "Ready." It's in the hall.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then he took the old man's hand and walked towards the house inside."
I have to say that the Forbidden City is also very large, and it is not very satisfactory than the Yan family's mansion.
However, unlike Yanjialou, the decoration of the palace is more emotional, giving people an unusual atmosphere everywhere.
And the deepest feeling is the spirit of the book, as if as long as one person is here, as if he has melted into the ocean of books.
The king couldn't help but admire the majesty in the palace, although it was different from the iron bones of the Yan family's mansion, it had a special charm.
This kind of momentum makes the strict discipline of entering the palace for the first time a little unsuitable.
However, Yan Gang is everyone's personality after all, and he quickly adapted to the environment here, but his appearance is a bit invisible.
A few people had already entered the hall, and after counting the room, there were several boxes in it, and there were already a few people in them, and the banquet had been arranged on the boxes.
Ruth said goodbye and left.
Although at this time, the status of women was not as low as in later generations, however, in the general formal setting, women were rarely present.
After Wang Chen and the others entered, they were divided into two groups.
When Wang Chen lowered his head, he was sitting with an old man named Wang. However, another young scholar does not seem to be older than his age.
However, the king's vision is unique, since this person can sit in this position, his ability must not be too bad.
Underneath the young man was a warrior, a giant, a fierce man, clearly a good hand.
After settling down, Wang Chen began to set up a banquet, raised his wine glass and said, "Brother Xing, I'll introduce you to two people." These two people are my right and left hands.
When the two of them heard this, they both saluted Wang Chenxing slightly.
Wang frowned. If these two people really respected Wang Chen, they probably wouldn't have done it.
However, Wang Chen didn't seem to care. He said, "This young scholar is the one I told you, Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan bowed to the king and said, "Fan Bingbing has seen the stars."
Lao Wang also gave a gift, saying: "Ling Ling is safe, rely on Zhao Fanxian's younger brother."
Zhao Fan still said humbly: "Brother Xing's words are heavy, and it still depends on the prince to guard it, otherwise, with Fan's talent, he will definitely not be able to support a county."
After another polite conversation, Wang Chen continued: "This is Zhang Wu, the county magistrate of Lingling County."
Zhang Wu had met Xing's brother and heard that Xing's brother could forge high-grade weapons. Zhang Wu shamelessly asked Xing Ming to make one.
Old man Wang smiled and said, "It's okay, but the next day Zhang Wuxian told me the weight of the weapon I want."
Zhang Wu listened and agreed without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Brother Xing is really generous."
Old man Wang smiled and said, "Each other, each other."
Wang Chen couldn't help but feel very satisfied when he saw that the two were fighting hotly again.
"They are my nephew Wang Nuxian and nephew Yan Gang."
When Wang Chen mentioned himself, Wang Nu felt that Zhao Fan looked surprised.
But he quickly regained his composure, clapped his hands and said, "The two nephews did a good job when they were young. In the face of Zhao Fan's praise, Wang Nu and Yan Gang were not very cold.
After all, if Zhao Fan was really jealous of the two of them, it would be strange if they believed him.
Zhao Fan is young, and it must not be easy to sit in the position of a son's book.
Not only that, Zhao Fan can also get Wang Chen's praise, which is enough to explain everything.
"My brother is too modest," Wang said with a smile. "The slave had worshipped his brother for a long time.
Zhao Fan's face changed when he heard Wang Nu's words.
But Wang Chen nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
It turned out that Zhao Fan called Wang Nu and Yan Gang nephews, just like he had the right to discuss and make friends with Wang Chen and Wang Laohan.
However, Wang Nu was nothing more than the brother of the Zhao family, pulling him down from the position of elder.
Zhao Fan couldn't say anything. After all, what Wang Nu said was good.
As the saying goes, "The hand doesn't joke at the face." Zhao Fan can only suffer this dark loss.
As for Zhao Fan and Wang Chen's peers to discuss, although Wang Chen felt uncomfortable, he had nothing to say.
After all, Zhao is Wang's employee, and talking to Wang's colleagues is no big deal.
Now, it has been cut down by the king.
In this way, Wang Chen couldn't help but look up at Wang Nu. At the same time, Zhao Fan didn't dare to treat Wang Nu as a child.
I saw Zhao Fan say sullenly: "Emperor Xian has won the award, and he deserves to lose his brother."
Hearing that Zhao Fan was discouraged, Wang Nu was secretly happy.
After all, when Wang Nu first came to Lingling, all the foundations were not solid, and he had to rely on the help of these people.
