Chapter 492: Which Princess

Mrs. Changsun smiled: "Oh, look at the old body's mouth, your uncle told the old body not to let the old body say it, but the old body still said it, it's really undeserved!" ”

She said with an old mouth, but she didn't mean to say it with any regret on her face, but was triumphant, and seemed to enjoy Wang Ping'an's surprised expression!

Wang Ping'an was dumbfounded: "That uncle, what do you mean?" "Northerners call their son-in-law uncle, of course he knows this, but this is the Tang Dynasty, whether the uncle represents the son-in-law, then it is not necessarily, each place has its own name, of course he has to ask!

Mrs. Eldest Sun still smiled and said, "Did the old man say uncle?" You must have heard it wrong, the old body didn't say it! While speaking, he straightened the golden crown for Wang Ping'an, and said: "When you enter the palace, you don't want to kneel down when you see someone, not everyone in the palace can stand your worship, you have to hold the shelf." Your eyes should be like this, you look at the old body...... Oh, you just learn from your uncle's usual eyes, don't think that the people in the palace are amazing, you don't need to slap them, they slap you almost! ”

Wang Ping'an was a little confused, and said, "Uncle usually looks at people's eyes? ”

Mrs. Eldest Sun exalted and said, "That's it! As she spoke, she learned from the appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, looking ahead with both eyes, and definitely not looking to either side, there was a large group of servants in the house, but in her eyes, they were like ants, turning a blind eye!

Wang Ping'an blinked his eyes and said, "Do you want to do it, I only have you in my eyes?" ”

Mrs. Changsun was overjoyed, clapped her hands and said, "Oh, good nephew, if you are really smart, you can't explain things that the old body can't tell, but you can understand it at all." Yes, yes, that's what I do, I only have you in my eyes, that's right! ”

She pushed Wang Ping'an and said, "Let's go, go out and show your uncle, let him guide you in two tricks, don't lose your manners tonight, it's okay usually, but definitely not tonight!" ”

Mrs. Changsun pulled Wang Ping'an and came to the front hall, where Changsun Wuji was sitting in the hall, with a thick stack of gift lists in front of the table, he was looking at the gift list, shaking his head while looking at it, as if he didn't want to accept these gifts.

"Master, look at your good nephew!" Mrs. Changsun said with a smile.

Eldest Sun Wuji raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, looked at Wang Ping'an's appearance, and said with a smile: "It's about the same, it's good, it's good!" He raised his hand and stroked his beard. Looking at his appearance, he actually enjoyed Wang Ping'an's overwhelmed expression a little.

Wang Ping'an said: "Uncle eldest grandson, why did the little nephew enter the palace, why do you dress like this, why don't you wear official uniforms?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "It's not a big banquet in the court, why do you have to wear official clothes." Keeping the New Year is a family affair, so naturally you have to wear casual clothes! ”

After a sigh, he said again: "Come on, prepare some reward money for the nephew." After you enter the palace, you will use it for people, don't be a small device, of course you are not a small person! The latter sentence is said to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an stood in the hall at a loss, thinking: "How can this be a bit of a son-in-law's posture to see the old man, but I am not a colt!" ”

The servants prepared a small bag of copper coins, all of which were newly made copper coins, shining gold and very beautiful, so that Wang Ping'an could put them in his arms and keep them for entering the palace to reward people.

Everything was ready to stop, and the eldest grandson Wuji ordered people to prepare horses, and said to Wang Ping'an: "You have to ride a horse today, don't take a car." Well, it's best to run up on the road, and when you enter the palace, you sweat a little, and your face is flushed, that's flattering, and you can also show your manly spirit, you are a person who has led the army, don't look sick, let people look down on you! ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Yes, the little nephew will definitely run!" He didn't even know what to say, he just kept saying yes.

The eldest grandson Wuji personally sent Wang Ping'an out, and there was a long line of people sitting outside the prime minister's mansion, all of whom came to pat himself on the back and give gifts, definitely more than a thousand people.

When the gift-givers outside saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming out, they stood up together and shouted, "Eldest grandson, the little one has given you a New Year's greeting." When they saw that Wang Ping'an had also come out, they cried out again, "Prince, oh, where is your old man?" Happy New Year, Prince! ”

My old man, when did I get this title! Wang Ping'an turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, hey, the eyes of the eldest grandson's wife just now were undoubtedly revealed on the eldest grandson Wuji's face at this time.

I only have you in my eyes, and everyone else is a little ant!

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't even sweep the corners of his eyes to these sycophants, he just looked at Wang Ping'an and didn't squint! The eldest grandson Wuji asked Wang Ping'an to ride a horse, and this horse turned out to be red, a big red horse!

Taking the cage handed by the servant, the eldest grandson Wuji handed the goose cage to Wang Ping'an, and said: "Take it, you have to personally hold this pair of geese and hand them over to the emperor...... Well, you don't need to pay attention to this, Shi Zhongchen will tell you what to do. ”

Wang Ping'an took the goose cage and said in a daze: "Then, the little nephew is gone!" ”

"Go, go!" The eldest grandson Wuji waved goodbye to him, and suddenly, he said: "Don't kneel when you see people, some people can't afford your gifts!" ”

Wang Ping'an turned around and responded, thinking: "Of course I won't kneel when I see someone, I don't need to be specially told about this, why do he have to say it again." ”

The people waiting in the alley to pat on the back, seeing Wang Ping'an's dress and carrying a goose cage, all smiled and grinned, arched their hands at him, and shouted loudly to the prince!

Out of the alley, Wang Ping'an turned onto the avenue, and before he had walked far, he saw several people running on the side of the road, it was Di Renjie and Ouyang Li.

Di Renjie's cheeks were red from the cold, and he shouted, "Big brother, why did you come out, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Wang Ping'an reined in the big red horse and said, "Hey, why did you come here?" ”

Di Renjie said: "After returning to the Inspiration Temple, we waited for you for a long time, and when we saw that you didn't come back, we came out to inquire and learned that you came to the mansion of the eldest grandson, but we couldn't enter the mansion, so we had to wait for you here." ”

He looked at Wang Ping'an's dress in surprise, as well as the goose cage he was carrying, and said, "Big brother, are you going to ask for a kiss?" I actually asked for it in person, without a matchmaker? Who are you going to ask for, why haven't I heard you talk about it? ”

Wang Ping'an was even more shocked, he jumped down from his horse, pulled Di Renjie aside, and said, "What? I went to ask for marriage, how did I become a courtship? ”

Di Renjie opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, and it took a long time before he said, "Big brother didn't go to ask for a kiss?" Then why carry a goose cage, this kind of gift of wild geese is not a casual gift, it can only be given when you ask for a kiss! ”

Was there such an emphasis in the Tang Dynasty? Wang Ping'an never knew it before! He picked up the goose cage and looked at it, and said, "Sending wild geese is to ask for marriage?" ”

Di Renjie thought to himself: "No, eldest brother, you are very good at learning, how can you not even know this custom?" He pointed to the geese in the cage and said, "Lay the geese with deerskins!" This is one of the dowry gifts that a man gives when he proposes to a woman, and it is the first gift in the list...... But without deerskin, this will seem insincere, who are you going to? ”

Wang Ping'an opened his mouth and said: "I, I want to go to the emperor's house!" It was Mr. Shi who asked me to take the wild geese, and the eldest grandson personally prepared it for me. Why is this a way to ask for a kiss, who am I asking for, aren't I going to keep the New Year? ”

"The emperor asked you to go to the palace to accompany him to celebrate the New Year, and bring a pair of wild geese over by the way?" Di Renjie was overjoyed, regardless of the fact that he was on the street, and shouted: "Big brother, you are going to be a concubine, which princess is it?" ”

Wang Ping'an almost sat on the ground with his head on his head, he said: "I, I don't know, I don't know that I am begging for a kiss!" His body shook, and Ouyang Li and the others hurriedly stepped forward and supported him.

Regardless of what Wang Ping'an said, Ouyang Li and the others said in unison: "Master, are you going to be a horse?" ”

Wang Ping'an said blankly: "I'm going to be a colt?" How I didn't know about it! He told the eldest grandson and his wife what they had said to him.

Di Renjie thought for a while and said: "I see, no wonder I didn't let the eldest brother bring a deerskin, it seems that the emperor wants to recruit you as a concubine, but he didn't say which princess it is, it is estimated that someone may disagree...... It's not necessarily that someone disagrees, but wants the princess to see you for herself, so as long as you take the wild goose and don't let you bring a deerskin, in case the princess doesn't like you, there is a room for maneuver! ”

Ouyang Li and the others were overjoyed, but said beside him: "Lord Eldest Sun also prepared a reward for the master?" Only give copper coins, I'm afraid it's too small, my subordinates brought gold melon seeds, master, you bring it! ”

As they spoke, each of them took out a bag from his bosom, and some even took out two, which were full of golden melon seeds.

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "Why do you all carry so much gold with you?" ”

Ouyang Li said with a smile: "It's the New Year, isn't this for the master, we will reward you with a wave of your hand, I don't want this gold to be used in the palace!" ”

"Take it, wrap it in red paper!" Wang Ping'an's head was like paste, and he just commanded mechanically.

Ouyang Li and the others hurriedly ran away to find the red paper, it is now the Chinese New Year, and there is red paper, and most of the shops have preparations.

Di Renjie is still analyzing, what he is best at is analysis, and said: "Big brother, marriage has always been decided by parents, and ordinary families are still like this, not to mention the royal family. Since the emperor intends to recruit you as a concubine, and wants the princess to see you, instead of directly referring to the marriage, it means that the emperor loves the princess very much! Which princess is the emperor's favorite? Isn't it straightforward to guess who it is? ”

Wang Ping'an muttered, "Which princess is the most favored?" Could it be Princess Gaoyang...... Ah, she is already married, and with the concubine of Fang Yiai, it is definitely not her. So, then...... Who is it? He had already thought in his mind who it was, but he didn't say it.

Di Renjie didn't understand the royal affairs very well, but his brain was enough, and he blurted out: "Big brother, you came out of the eldest grandson's house, and the clothes and gifts were all prepared by him, no matter how much he likes you, he won't treat you so kindly." It can only be related to him, could it be the daughter of the eldest grandson queen? ”
