Chapter 611: Gyeongju Thorn Mansion
Chapter 611 Gyeongju Thorn Mansion
Huang Xiaoya sighed, feeling aggrieved, and said: "Isn't I going to serve the eldest master, how can I serve a mother-in-law, why is that Yang Chunhua my young lady?" ”
"That's what the old lady commands!" Ouyang Li glared, and said: "Look at your clumsiness, I don't know if you can serve Miss Yang well, this is your contract to be a girl, you press a handprint!" He took out a contract, the ink was still dry, and it was evident that it had just been written.
Huang Xiaoya was disappointed in her heart, and after a long time, she actually gave Yahuan as a Yahuan...... No, it should be for the mother-in-law to be a ring, it's better to serve the ring!
She aggrievedly pressed a handprint on the contract and said, "Actually, I am very capable of working, and it is the most suitable to serve the eldest master." Besides, that Yang Chunhua's child is about to be born, how can she still be called Miss at such an age! ”
Ouyang Li put away the contract and said with a smile: "It's not very simple for the master to sentence her to restore her free body, she doesn't have a husband, so what's the matter if she calls her Miss?" As he spoke, he turned around and said, "Old eight, you're right!" ”
Ouyang Ba stood behind him and laughed: "Yes, that's right!" A few days ago, he pretended to be Wu Meiniang's husband and beat up the loser, but now his appearance has completely changed, he has become a heroic young general, and his accent is completely different.
When Ouyang Ba did evil, Huang Xiaoya was not in a hurry to hide, she never came to the front, she hid far away at that time, and now let her recognize people, of course she can't recognize them, and she doesn't even feel familiar.
Huang Xiaoya's mind was not on Yang Chunhua, she was still desperately seizing the opportunity and working hard to promote herself, and said: "I'm really capable of working, I'm diligent, just let me serve the master!" ”
Ouyang Li ignored her and turned to leave. Ouyang Ba said: "Give me back, you are going to call yourself a slave now." Do you want to serve your master? Hey, you look over there and see who's inside? As he spoke, he pointed to the main hall, where the Wang couple were talking, but Wang Ping'an was not there, and there were two little girls waiting in the hall.
Huang Xiaoya said: "There are old ladies and old ladies, as well as two young ladies, a total of four people. ”
Ouyang Ba smiled: "It's good to count, you can distinguish three and four." Those two are not young ladies, they are the maids who serve the master. It's up to you, or serve Yang Chunhua, this is all lifting you! With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Huang Xiaoya looked at Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu in the hall as if she had been struck by lightning. Will these two people be Yahuan? They are even more young ladies than the eldest lady of Gyeongju!
When the temple fair was held in Gyeongju City, she and her mother and sister went to join in the excitement, saw the eldest lady of a rich family, and heard her mother talk about the scenery of her own home, but no matter how many eldest ladies she saw, no matter how beautiful her family used to be, everything added together is not as good as the two girls in the house!
Standing at the door of the room in a daze, Huang Xiaoya was motionless, her heart was still full of excitement, when Yahuan could be that level in the house, when would she be like that?
In the wing room, there was no light in the room, Wang Ping'an and Wu Meiniang stood in the dark, talking in a low voice.
Wang Ping'an said: "Chunhua, I will call you that in the future." After entering the city, I plan to arrange for you to live outside the Thorn Mansion and let you be a pulp washing woman, what do you think? ”
The pulp washing woman is a servant who specializes in washing the clothes for the master, and it is the lowest and hardest, but the advantage is that she can not contact with others, and she is so busy all day long, how can she have the time to contact with people, and others will not pay attention to a pulp washing woman.
Wu Meiniang hummed lightly and said, "What kind of work can you let that Huang Xiaoya do, this girl is very clever and powerful, this kind of person is best used!" ”
Wang Ping'an laughed twice, Wu Meiniang is the best at taking advantage of other people's weaknesses, and that Huang Xiaoya may not have much better life in the future. He said: "Okay, I will let people take good care of you, and the matter has been settled now, so you can rest assured!" ”
There was silence in the room for a long time, and Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "Uncle, am I really pregnant with a boy?" If it's a daughter, it's bad, the prince won't necessarily recognize it! ”
Wang Ping'an didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "It must be a boy, this is certain." If you're worried about being a girl, that's fine, I'll raise you when you're born. Don't worry, no matter the boy or girl, the prince will recognize him, I know him best. ”
Wu Meiniang said again: "I'm afraid he will forget our mother, there are so many women in the palace, all of them are younger and more beautiful than me, how can the prince remember me!" ”
Wang Ping'an said: "I will remind him all the time, you can relax!" Also, don't think about these things all day long, what hasn't happened yet, why worry, if you worry all day long, it will be bad for the child! ”
Wu Meiniang sighed, she really didn't dare to sigh anymore, she was afraid that something would happen to her child, and she would live a happy life for the rest of her life, but she was all counting on the child in her belly!
Wang Ping'an said: "You go back, you can rest, tomorrow we will enter the city." ”
Wu Meiniang blessed him, opened the door and looked out, then went out and went back to her room. When she walked to the door of her room, she saw Huang Xiaoya standing outside the door in a daze, she said, "Madame sent someone to inform you, you have to continue to call Huang Xiaoya, and serve me in the future!" With that, she entered the room.
Huang Xiaoya came back to her senses, lowered her head and followed her in, and whispered, "Xiao...... Sister. Oh, can you not call you Miss, call you Aunt Yang, okay? ”
Wu Meiniang glanced at her and said with a smile: "Okay, then call me Aunt Yang." You will come into the city with me tomorrow, and you will live in the city from now on, go back and say goodbye to your parents, and you won't have to serve me tonight!" ”
Huang Xiaoya thought for a while, and then asked, "Aunt Yang, if I serve you well, will you tell the old lady to transfer me away and serve the eldest master?" ”
Wu Meiniang smiled very softly and said, "It's okay, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, I naturally hope that you can be a big girl." You can learn more from the two girls of the old man. ”
Huang Xiaoya was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Yang, then I'll go back and pack up, and we'll go on the road together tomorrow." With that, she ran out of the room.
When she came to the courtyard, she looked at the main hall again, and saw that the old lady and the lady were gone, but the two young lady-like rings did not leave, one was holding a book and flipping, while the other was under the candle, fiddling with the jade bracelet in his hand!
Huang Xiaoya immediately set a great ambition in her heart, she must become an outstanding girl, just like the two in the hall. She envied for a while, and then returned to her yard. But I couldn't bear it in my heart, and wondered, I didn't recognize those two Yahuan, and thought it was Miss, why did Aunt Yang recognize it? Could it be that she is not a stupid girl, or is she really from a big family?
After the most important thing in Gyeongju was done, Wang Ping'an's family felt relieved, went to bed, and had nothing to say all night.
The next morning, Huang Xiaoya brought a small burden and came to find Wu Meiniang, and the two set off with the Wang family brigade and rushed to Gyeongju.
If you want to talk about the prosperity of Gyeongju, it can't be compared with the Gyeonggi area, even Xuzhou, and there is no Gyeongju in modern times, but there is one on the Korean Peninsula.
From foreign Fanbang to Chang'an, Gyeongju is not the only way to go, the Hu people from the Western Regions often take the Lanzhou line, and the Hu people from the east often take the Jinju line, and Gyeongju is neither east nor west, so in this era the business is not developed, no business does not live, here is relatively poor.
The Tang Dynasty did not calculate the vertical distance, but only calculated the distance according to the road, to say that Gyeongju is not very far from Chang'an, the vertical distance is certainly not a thousand miles, but to go around, then it is not allowed to walk for more than half a month, if this is in the late Tang Dynasty, after the construction of the road in the Tang Dynasty, then the road distance will become closer, at least do not have to go around!
If an area is underdeveloped, you can guess by looking at the road, and the road from Chang'an to Gyeongju has to be detoured, which in itself shows that Gyeongju is not a prosperous place.
Wang Ping'an and his entourage, riding horses and chariots, traveled faster, and after noon, they had already seen the city wall of Gyeongju from a distance, and they had arrived at the place.
In the direction of Gyeongju, a fast horse rushed over, and immediately there was a school captain, who ran to the front, the school captain dismounted and saluted, and asked: "The last general dares to ask you whether you are the prince, Lord Di and Lord Qiu?" ”
Ouyang Li jumped out of his horse and said with a smile: "Captain Chen, why don't you recognize General Ben?" ”
Lieutenant Chen is just an officer of the county soldiers, and there is no comparison with Ouyang Li, a general like Ouyang Li, he saw Ouyang Li, and hurriedly smiled on his face, and said, "General Ouyang, you are also here!" I don't know which one is the prince, and the last general is so polite! ”
As he spoke, he lay on the ground and kowtowed. After kowtowing to Wang Ping'an, and kowtowing to Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan, none of them dared to pull down. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, and the same is true in the local area, after changing the history of assassination and the county order, whether he will continue to be the captain of the county soldiers, it is still a matter of maybe, can he not be in a hurry!
Ouyang Li had already come to Gyeongju, and he had almost completed all the formalities, just waiting for Ping An to finish receiving the seal, even if he was officially in office, he had seen this Captain Chen.
Ouyang pointed to the front with a horsewhip and said, "In front, Ji Tingshi came out to greet him?" ”
Captain Chen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it was Ji Tingshi who brought the officials of the whole state to greet the prince and the lords. According to the regulations of the DPRK and China, the handover of the seal letter only needs to be completed in the Assassin's Mansion, but Lord Ji has heard the name of the prince for a long time, so he made an exception to welcome Sanli, set up a color shed, and waited in front! ”
Ouyang Li waved his hand very imposingly and said, "Lead the way in front of the head!" ”
Captain Chen immediately got on his horse and trotted down the road, and he didn't need him to take any road here, he just ran back and told Ji Tingshi that Wang Ping'an had arrived!
After walking a short distance, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, and hundreds of people beat gongs and drums to meet them, and a large group of officials in green clothes were led by a white-bearded old official, and the officials were followed by the people, either local elders, or Gyeongju figures with heads and faces, and the big businessman Kim Sam-quan was also among them.
Jin Sanquan has received the favor of Wang Ping'an, but he can't greet him in advance, he can't exceed the local assassin history, even if it is the assassin history who wants to step down, it can't be exceeded, the official is the official, the people are the people, everything has to be the official first, of course, it is only limited to good things and the official comes first, and the bad thing must come first by the people, you have to give the people a chance, you can't not give a chance at all!
Ji Tingshi looked from afar, and saw a long team of chariots and horses coming on the road, not only the cart had a long slip, but even the accompanying guards had as many as a regiment, the armor was shining, and the swords and axes were complete!
Ji Tingshi turned around and said to Changshi: "We have fewer people, I knew that the prince's pomp was so big, so we had to recruit thousands of people, otherwise it would not reflect the meaning of respecting Shangguan!" ”
Changshi sighed and said: "Yes, it's also to blame that General Ouyang, he didn't make it clear, who would have thought that the assassin would come with the army!" ”
He said so on his lips, but in his heart he thought: "Master Ji, you are going to leave office and return to your hometown, but we still have to work here, your sycophants are not enough, I'm afraid it will affect us!" ”
Without waiting for the convoy to get closer, Ji Tingshi, regardless of his age and unfavorable legs, actually trotted over and beckoned: "Prince, prince, Xiaguan has finally looked forward to you!" ”
Wang Ping'an saw Ji Tingshi immediately, recognized this person from his official uniform as Master Thorn Shi, and thought: "Don't run, you're so old, be careful of falling!" ”
He jumped off his horse, strode forward, and arched his hand: "Master Ji, I have admired my name for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see you today!" ”
"It's the same with the lower officials, it's the same!" Ji Tingshi ran to him, first saluted, and then grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand, and said, "Prince, you have finally arrived, and the lower officials can finally unload this burden!" ”
Wang Ping'an sighed, thinking: "How did you say this, could it be that there was something wrong in Qingzhou, and he couldn't solve it, so he threw the burden to me?" ”
Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan also dismounted and stepped forward to salute Ji Tingshi. The Gyeongju officials in the back also ran to the courtesy, asking their hometowns and relatives. After a while, it quieted down a little.
Ji Tingshi introduced Wang Ping'an, in addition to him, Gyeongju civil officials are respected by Changshi, and Changshi is called Che Sitong, and in terms of military generals, it is the Chen Xiaowei who rushed to shoot the sycophants is the largest.
After some greetings, the convoy entered the city and went straight to the Assassin's Mansion.
After entering the city gate, Wang Ping'an immediately frowned, and saw that the houses on both sides of the street were quite neat, but they were limited to the houses facing the street.
Gyeongju City is actually the county seat of Heshui, with the county seat as the state seat, the specifications are not high, and the city is naturally not big.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wang Ping'an's heart was half cold, and he saw that this Thorn History Mansion was quite magnificent, which was the opposite of the dwellings he had just seen!
