The people of Erliu are Hamiti, and there is Xu Jingzong in crowd A, and even Su Hongdaozhou is miserable, and they are all here to see Wang Ping'an off.

Hamiti was the first to come over and said with a smile: "Prince, today is the day you leave Beijing, we went to your house early, but we didn't see your people, and even the prince and the lady were not there." I guess you went to the palace, so I rushed here to see you off. ”

As he spoke, he asked someone to take a willow branch with a young shoot, hold it in both hands, and give it to Wang Ping'an. Willow and Liuyin are the same, this is the habit of the Tang Dynasty people when they bid farewell to friends, send willow branches.

Other big businessmen saw it. They all came over and sent willow branches and, of course, gift lists. Wang Ping'an was responsible for collecting willow branches, while Qiu Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan temporarily acted as entourages, keeping gift slips for him and collecting gifts.

After a bit of politeness. Xu Jingzong stepped forward, and he bowed deeply to Wang Ping'an. The expression is very sincere. I don't know if it's sincere, but it looks quite sincere.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Lord Xu, I haven't seen you for some days, and you have lost a lot." ”

Xu Jingzong lost weight and did not give birth, and the things he encountered on him, anyone would have to get angry, and his originally chubby face had lost weight, and he turned out to have a little pointed chin.

Xu Jingzong first sighed softly. Only then did he say: "Prince, the old man could not escape, but he is at this age again." If he is really sent to Yazhou, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back. I never thought that with the help of you, the prince, the old man could stay in Chang'an and live for a long time! ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Xu, don't say that, you and I have known each other, there are some things that you don't ask, I have to do something for you, but it's just that my ability is limited, and I can't help too much!" ”

Xu Jingzong clasped his fists, and gave Wang Ping'an a gesture, saying: "The old man has been sick at home these days, and he couldn't come in time to express his gratitude to the prince, but the great kindness is not grateful, and the prince is kind to the old man." The old man kept it in his heart, and he didn't dare to forget it for a moment. I have offended the prince in the past, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

He asked his subordinates to bring two bowls of wine, one bowl was held to Wang Ping'an with both hands, and the other bowl was held by himself, and said: "The prince is traveling far away, and the old man toasts a glass and talks about his heart." With that, he took a sip of the wine.

Wang Ping'an raised the wine bowl. I just dried the sake very simply. Xu Jingzong, a potential political enemy, has been defeated by him and included in his camp, so he doesn't expect to borrow any power from Xu Jingzong, as long as he doesn't make trouble with himself.

Su Dingfang also walked over, holding wine in his hand. Although he was not too glamorous during this time, he regained a small opportunity in his career and was promoted to an official position. For him, he was originally a prisoner in custody, but he just followed the right boss and got a future, of course he had to thank the boss, that is, Wang Ping'an.

Su Dingfang arrived and said, "Prince, the last general was sent to Shangzhou, became a deputy governor, and went to the Inspiration Temple twice before leaving to say goodbye to you, but unfortunately you are not there." The day before yesterday, I got the news that you were going to Gyeongju to take office, and the last general immediately rushed from Shangju, and finally arrived last night, but he didn't get into the city. I've been waiting until now, and I'm lucky to have met Mr. Ha and them, otherwise the last general wouldn't know where to wait for you! ”

Wang Ping'an took the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "We are good brothers, the most important thing is to have a heart-to-heart relationship, and the cumbersomeness of etiquette can be avoided!" He touched the bowl with Su Dingfang, and both of them were drinking until the glass was dry.

Someone else came up and toasted Wang Ping'an, but Wang Ping'an did not refuse, and drank glass after cup of water. After entertaining for more than half an hour, this can be regarded as the end, Wang Ping'an said goodbye to everyone and went on the road again.

On this day, he didn't go far, but he walked more than ten miles to a small town, which was the place where he and the Wang couple had made an appointment, and when they saw the convoy parked in an inn in the town, Wang Ping'an and others dismounted and entered the store.

The Wang couple had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Wang Ping'an coming, he breathed a sigh of relief. They rented the entire inn, and also rented a lot of nearby houses for their servants and guards.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang lived in a small separate courtyard when they saw their son coming. Yang asked, "Son, why are you blushing, but you have drunk?" ”

Wang Ping'an opened his mouth and let out a puff of wine. He smiled: "Yes, when I first left the city, I was sent off by a group of people. Drank quite a bit. But mother, you don't have to worry, it's all water and wine, it's not strong, I'm fine. "Thankfully, the man who saw him off didn't have the liquor in the medicated kitchen, or he would have to lie on the ground by now.

Wang Youcai said: "Let's spend the night here tonight." Peace, go and rest first, and we'll call you when we eat. ”

Wang Ping'an agreed, went to his room, lay down on the bed, and stared at him.

After a long time, Ding Danruo came to knock on the door. Tell him to get up and eat. Wang Ping'an got up, washed his face, went to the thatched house, and then went to the front.

Meals have already been placed in the front hall of the inn, just waiting for Wang Ping'an to come. The inn is not big, there are only two guys. There were so many guests who couldn't be busy, so the shopkeeper came out to help with his wife and son. Entertain guests.

Meals are average. When people are on a journey, they can't pay attention to anything. Just eat whatever you want.

The shopkeeper knew that the guest was the famous Wang Ping'an in Chang'an, and he was very attentive to the hospitality, and did not leave after the meal was served. Just stand on the side so that you can be on call. At this time, in the hut behind the counter, the laughter of a child suddenly came out, and the curtain of the door was opened, and someone inside looked out. This room is usually used by the shopkeeper for rest, and the people in it are estimated to be his family.

Yang gave Wang Ping'an a piece of chicken. Said: "It's the shopkeeper's little grandson." It's only a year old, and it looks like a pink corridor, which can make people hurt. When only I could hold my grandson! ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "It's almost there." It won't take two years. ”

The shopkeeper heard them mention their little grandson, hurried over, and said with a smile: "Prince, you are a big man, you can settle down in the villain's store today, and the villain's face is bright when he says it." The villain has something to ask for, and he is too embarrassed to speak."

Qiu Renjie also sat at this table. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to open my mouth." Then don't open it! ”

The shopkeeper's mouth was grinning, and he was embarrassed, he inquired just now, this little young master is the head of Jinke. I want to go to another place to be a county master. He had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. changed the name of the small shop and renamed it "Shape Head Inn", but I didn't expect Qiu Renjie to joke with him.

Wang Ping'an put down his chopsticks and smiled at the shopkeeper: "Don't listen to my brother's jokes, what's the matter with the old man." But it doesn't hurt to say that. He saw that the shopkeeper was in his thirties, and he actually hugged his grandson. I'm afraid that before fifty, I will have to live in the same house for four generations.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Three Princes." The villain's grandchildren are all one;; :,But the ring is not named.,I want you to take one for him.,Dip your shellfish a reward※

Wang Ping'an sighed and said with a smile: "It turned out that I wanted to take a name, I thought it was that the child was sick, you begged me to see a doctor, okay guys." Bring him out! ”

Seeing that Wang Ping'an agreed, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he said: "The villain's grandson can be strong, there is nothing wrong with it!" He turned around, beckoned to the hut, and told his daughter-in-law to come out with the child in her arms.

The curtain of the door opened, and a little girl who was fifteen or sixteen years old came out, according to the age of modern people, at most she had just entered high school, and if she went to school late, she might have just graduated from junior high school. This little girl is holding a fat doll in her arms, and it seems that she is the daughter-in-law and grandson of the shopkeeper.

Wang Ping'an couldn't help laughing, such a young girl will be a mother, the children are more than a year old, people are really anxious this year, it seems that this shopkeeper is not to mention the four generations in the same hall, even if it is the fifth generation in the same hall, it is also possible, maybe the children can be mixed in the same hall of the sixth generation!

The little girl happily hugged the child over, as if offering a treasure, and asked Wang Ping'an to watch the child. And the child also giggled at Wang Ping'an, not afraid of life at all, and it was very lively

Yang looked at the child and said, "You look very strong, your family is a good family, do you have land?" Let this kid be a soldier in the future, maybe he can become a general or something! ”

The shopkeeper's face darkened. He is a businessman. With only such a small shop, how can there be land. And if you don't have land in these years, you are not a good family, and you are not qualified to enter the Wei Mansion to eat official meals.

As if he had made up his mind, the shopkeeper said: "When the villain saves more money, he has to buy a few acres of land, even if it is not for the elderly, he has to fight for his grandson to come back!" ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's spring, the weather is hot and cold, this child is wearing little clothes, be careful not to catch a cold." ”

The daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "I'll give him a roast later, but I don't dare to let him be cold, he is the heart of his father-in-law and mother-in-law!" ”

Wang Youcai smiled and said, "Whose child?" It's all the meat of the heart! Looking at his son, when Wang Ping'an was a child, the couple took good care of him. Ten times more attentive than this little child.

Wang Ping'an took the child over and hugged him. "You don't have to go to the fire. Well, he's quite heavy, and you're very careful! My mother said just now that if he enters the Wei Mansion in the future, he may be able to become a general or something, I hope so. By the way, what's your last name? ”

The shopkeeper's busy road: The villain's surname is rare, it is two words, uncle! Yang shook his head and said: "It's too losing, this surname is not good, why don't you change your surname to win too much, that's lucky." ”

Wang Ping'an returned the child to the shopkeeper. smiled: "Mother, it's not a win or a loser, it's an uncle's uncle." This surname has a lot of origins. According to legend, he is a descendant of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty! I didn't expect that here, we would actually meet the descendants of Zhou Tianzi! ”

He said to the shopkeeper: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, your ancestors are great people." Inherited for thousands of years, it is a real family! ”

The shopkeeper is overjoyed, he has always been proud of his surname, but others heard his surname, and always said that he was a Hu person who looked down on him, but he didn't think that today Wang Ping'an would directly tell the origin of his surname. How could this not make him happy?

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The prince is really a scholar, not only knows the origin of the villain's surname, but also praises us as a family, in fact, how can there be a family as poor as us, all of them have become merchants!" The villain only hopes that his grandson will be able to glorify his ancestors when he grows up, and make my uncle's house tall again. ”

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "That's definitely going to happen." This kid's name needs to be nice and meaningful. Let me think

Qiu Renjie said: "It's better to be Uncle Cheng tall, and it sounds bright!" ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and thought about it. Said: "I hope this child will achieve something in the future, why don't you name it "Bicheng", let's do it! ”

The shopkeeper muttered: "It will be done, it will be accomplished!" This name is good, this name is good! He knelt down for Wang Ping'an with the child in his arms, thanked him loudly, and their family also came over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Ping'an, thanking him for naming the child.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly got up to help each other and said, "Don't be like this, the ceremony is too heavy!" "Help the shopkeeper's family up.

The child can be named by Wang Ping'an, which is equivalent to finding a backer in this era. A few years later, if it is really as rumored, Wang Ping'an became the prime minister, and at that time, the child was looking for a set of friendships, what difficulties are there, Wang Ping'an can still help! Don't look at the shopkeeper's business, but the investment vision is not low, and it can pave the way for children in advance!

The child got the name, and the shopkeeper's family served him more diligently.

After the meal, Wang Ping'an went back to rest, he had a lot of entertainment today, he was very tired, and he fell asleep soon after going to bed. In his sleep, he faintly heard movement in front of him, and he didn't know who was busy with what, but no one came to him, so he didn't care, didn't get up, and slept until early in the morning.

He slept well that night. woke up early, and without waiting for Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu to serve, he got up and dressed himself and went out of the room. I am going to fetch water and wash my face. But as soon as he opened the door, he was startled, and saw a group of people standing outside the door, including his guards and the shopkeeper

The shopkeeper was miserable, and the guards all held their swords in their hands, and did not allow him to come near the door. Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "No, this is a black shop." Got it by my people? It's not far from Chang'an, how can there be a black shop, and this shopkeeper doesn't look like a bad person. ”

When the shopkeeper saw that Wang Ping'an had come out, he hurriedly knelt down, and he said with a bitter face: "Prince, you can count it, the villain has been waiting for almost an hour!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and looked at his guard. Hou Ling, the leader, hurriedly said: "The master of the dish, he said that the child in the family is sick and wants to ask you to take a look, but the subordinates saw that the master was tired, so they asked him to wait here." Wait for the master to get up. Then he will see a doctor for his grandson. ”

Jiang Ping'an's face sank, and he said, "You are so ignorant, the child is sick, how can you delay?" This kind of thing happens again in the future, no matter how late it is. Whatever I'm doing, let me know right away! He stepped forward and picked up the shopkeeper and asked, "Where is the child?" Take me to see him. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed and got up. took Wang Ping'an to the front yard, where they lived.

When I arrived at the shopkeeper's son's room, I saw that the whole family was in the house, guarding the children on the bed, and the young daughter-in-law was even more tearful and crying.

Wang Ping'an strode to the bed. said: "Wasn't this kid okay yesterday, why did he get sick overnight?" ”
