Chapter 620 Wu Meiniang writes a love letter

This night, no one in the Du family's family fell asleep, and the Du family was excited, learning that the Du family's sister-in-law's illness could be cured, and the couple had hope, so they were naturally so happy that they couldn't sleep. Their children usually see their parents with sad faces, and when they suddenly see their parents happy, he also becomes happy, first crying with his parents, then giggling, and then sitting and listening to his parents.

But Wang Ping'an and the three of them couldn't sleep, so they could only sit on the bare bed and chat, talking about whatever they wanted, and the most they talked about was how to build the canal. There are a lot of preparations to be made for such a major event as canal repair, and a large number of professionals are required, and a lot of money is required.

On the bare bed, Wang Ping'an took a sip of water, and he said: "The emperor and many ministers in the court say that I am a person who can only say and can't do, and I am not a capable minister. This time, I will repair the Gyeongju Canal better, and see who dares to underestimate me again. People breathe a breath, Buddha is a pillar of incense, and I can't always be underestimated by them! ”

He is indeed telling the truth, no matter who it is, as long as it is a man, there will be a ganger, although he has a gentle personality, but he is not very good by the emperor and the ministers of the court, and this breath is also difficult to swallow. It's just that he usually never says this kind of thing to others, and only tonight did he say it in front of his two brothers.

Di Renjie immediately said: "Big brother is right, if you are looked down upon, we will also be said to be the one who hugs your thigh, and it is nothing to hug the thigh of a powerful person, but if we hug the thigh of a person like you, who can't just talk and practice, we can't hang on our face!" ”

Qiu Tingxuan glanced at him and thought, "You are still sincere, what do you say!" Looking at Wang Ping'an, seeing that he had no unhappy expression, he said: "No disease, this time you come to Gyeongju as an official, as long as you repair the canal, you can benefit one party, then presumably the emperor and the ministers of the court will no longer say that you will only say that you will not do it." ”

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Not bad." Big brother, why don't you think of another way to raise money to repair the canal, as long as you have money, skilled craftsmen are not hard to find, isn't there one in front of you! Why don't you hold a race? Let the common people run around the city walls? ”

Qiu Tingxuan said: "It takes time to raise money, and when the money is almost raised, it is estimated that the drought has begun to become serious. ”

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said: "The matter of raising money is not easy to use the running conference, Chang'an businessmen gather, and the businessmen are willing to pay, but there are not many businessmen in Gyeongju City, and the people are not rich, so the method of the race meeting is not suitable in Gyeongju." ”

Di Renjie said: "Then, think of another way?" ”

Qiu Tingxuan said: "No disease, if you want the emperor and the important ministers of the court to impress you, it is best to take the right path, and not use the method of sideways." Of course, I'm not saying that things like running are bad, but it's better to use methods that other magistrates know how to use, and then you can do it better than them, and then you can show your ability! ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "What you said has some truth!" ”

Di Renjie snorted and said, "It's just talking on paper." Brother Qiu, I also understand what you said, but now that Gyeongju is like this, what is not on the right path will not work at all! Big brother, is that right? ”

Wang Ping'an hummed again and said, "What you said also has some truth!" ”

Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: "Whoever said something has some truth, then aren't we all the same as if we didn't say it, and give our opinions in vain!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "I'm thinking about the construction of canals in history, how they built them, and whether there is anything to learn from." ”

If you want to talk about reading, then among the three people here, Qiu Tingxuan reads the most, he said: "If you want to talk about repairing canals, it should be the Weiyan and Zhengguo Canal, these two canals are well known to the world, and there are many records in the history books." ”

The name Dujiangyan was called in the Song Dynasty, it was called in the Qin Dynasty, and Dujiangyan was called in the Tang Dynasty. Because the materials and methods used to build embankments at that time were mainly "breaking bamboo for a cage, with a circular diameter of three feet, and being solid in stone, tired and flooding water", that is, using bamboo cages to load stones, so it is called "tail of the tree".

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Brother Qiu, you can joke about this, these two big projects were built with the strength of the whole country, and they cost a lot. But now Gyeongju doesn't have such a big river, and secondly, it doesn't have so much money, don't you look at how poor Gyeongju is, just rely on my eldest brother to find a way, even if he makes his family bankrupt, he can't afford to repair such a big project! ”

Qiu Tingxuan said angrily: "I didn't say that I was going to start such a big project, you are misinterpreting me." I mean the method, didn't he say that he was disease-free just now, he wanted to learn from the methods of the ancients to repair the canal, and he didn't have to build a big project like Zheng Guoqu! ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "I really haven't read a few books on this subject. Brother Qiu, you have read a lot of books, and there are specific methods in the books, which ones can be used for reference? ”

Qiu Tingxuan sighed, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "The specific method, I still have to go back to check the book!" ”

Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie laughed together, you are calling nonsense, what you said is the same as not saying it. Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "If you want to talk about the truth, and don't know how to do things, it seems that you are even more serious than me, check books for everything, then what kind of county order do you have, just go and be a librarian!" ”

Sighing, Wang Ping'an said: "Let me think about it, how can I do this matter well, and I don't have to boast about it, but let everyone praise me." If I can do this, then it is estimated that the day when I return to Chang'an will not be far away, and even if I can't enter Shangshu Province, there will be no problem in entering Zhongshu Province! ”

Di Renjie said: "Big brother will definitely return to Chang'an, and he will return with honor!" ”

Qiu Tingxuan also said: "Maybe after you return to Chang'an, you will become Ma Xiang's deputy, as long as you become a Chinese scholar, then the next step is the prime minister!" ”

Wang Ping'an laughed dryly, thinking: "I have a Yang Chunhua at home, as long as she is here, isn't it very simple for me to be the prime minister, maybe you can both be the prime minister!" ”

The three of them chatted without a word, and at dawn, tired, they all leaned against the wall and slept until dawn. They can't sleep outside the city, but there are people in the city who can't sleep!

In a private house next to the Assassin's Mansion, Wu Meiniang was sitting under the candle, with a piece of paper in front of her, she was holding a pen in her hand, and she was staring at the paper in a daze!

Wu Meiniang is of course not an ordinary woman, she is the best at finding opportunities, and as long as she finds an opportunity, she will desperately seize the opportunity, and once she seizes the opportunity, she will not let go no matter what. It was with such stubbornness that she was able to successfully catch Li Zhi and conceive a child!

But the timing of her getting this opportunity now is quite wrong, the strong old emperor did not die, and he lived quite nourishingly, but the prince was a cowardly and incompetent person, in this case, she had to leave Chang'an to avoid the limelight, and her strongest and only backer, Wang Ping'an, is now at the lowest point of his career and was sent to Gyeongju to be a assassin. All kinds of circumstances show that it is very likely that her bamboo basket will be empty, and all her efforts will be in ashes!

Wu Meiniang thought to herself: "I have a child in my belly, I hope it will be a boy, then at least a prince in the future, maybe I can become a prince." The child is of course the most important thing in the eyes of the current prince, and I am not so important, if the prince forgets me, or has no interest in me, then he is likely to kill me as a child. Wang Ping'an is now my backer, but if the prince hints at him something, he is likely to be the one who executed my extermination! ”

"I must not let the prince forget me!" Wu Meiniang said to herself, she bit the pen with her teeth, but found that the pen had been bitten by herself!

Put the pen down, Wu Meiniang stood up, slowly turned around on the ground, thinking about countermeasures, she planned to write a letter to Li Zhi, pretending to report safety to the reason, arousing Li Zhi's feelings of missing her, as long as the prince has been thinking about her in his heart, he is a soft-hearted person, he will not let her be hurt, she will also return to Chang'an after giving birth, the mother is more precious than the child, and live a comfortable life from now on!

But how to write this letter? After it's written, who will send it back? Let Wang Ping'an send someone back? It is possible that Wang Ping'an is unwilling to do such a thing, he will be afraid that this letter will fall into the hands of others and bring him trouble!

After turning around dozens of times, her head was almost dizzy, but she hadn't figured out the wording yet, and she didn't know how to write a letter.

At this moment, there was a few knocks on the door, and Huang Xiaoya asked outside, "Aunt Yang, you haven't slept yet?" ”

Wu Meiniang hummed and thought: "My head hurts, it's better to find someone to talk to, it can also relieve my anxiety now, if I'm too anxious, I'm afraid it's not good for the fetus." She said, "Little girl, haven't you slept either, come in!" ”

The door creaked, Huang Xiaoya came in and asked, "Aunt Yang, do you drink tea, Uncle Ouyang sent a bag of tea today, it smells fragrant, I'll make it for you, okay?" ”

Wu Meiniang smiled: "You want to drink it yourself, right?" Okay, then you can make a pot and come in! ”

Huang Xiaoya opened the door and walked in, holding a teapot in her hand, and said with a smile: "I knew that Aunt Yang wanted to drink tea, so it was already brewed!" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "You brewed it first, and then you came to ask me, if I don't want to drink, what should I do?" ”

Huang Xiaoya showed a bright smile, she said: "Then I'll drink it myself, and I can't spill the tea on the ground!" ”

Wu Meiniang watched her pour tea, and suddenly asked, "You left your parents, what if they miss you?" ”

Huang Xiaoya said: "My sister is much more obedient than me, with her, my father and mother won't miss me!" ”

Wu Meiniang sighed in her heart, there are many women around the prince, and they are all very well-behaved, he won't miss me, I'm worried about this! She said: "Your parents don't want you, don't you feel bad?" What can you do to make them miss you? ”

Huang Xiaoya poured the tea, put the teapot on the table, picked up a cup of tea to Wu Meiniang, and said with a smile: "If you want to make your father and mother miss me, isn't it simple!" ”
