Chapter 706 Li Ke became a big fat man
Wang Ping'an said very "considerately": "Okay, then I will copy this letter, in fact, I also hope that you can get along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more, the deeper the relationship, the better." I'm going to copy the letter, everything is for Mei Niang! ”
Wu Meiniang hurriedly gave him another blessing and said: "Uncle loves Mei Niang the most, Mei Niang knows it very well in her heart." ”
Wang Ping'an smiled, sat down at the table, spread out the paper, picked up a pen and copied the letter, and Wu Meiniang gave him ink. After a short time, after the letter was copied, Wang Ping'an took the envelope, put the long letter and the text message into the envelope, and said, "Light the candle, I want to seal the letter." ”
Wu Meiniang lit a candle and dripped a few drops of candle juice on the mouth of the envelope, Wang Ping'an took out the small seal with him and sealed the letter. He picked up the letter and said, "I'm going to send someone to Chang'an to deliver the letter, does Mei Niang have anything else to instruct?" "It's impossible to do things, and it's useless to be tired, since you want to do things according to Wu Meiniang's wishes, of course you have to make her all satisfied.
Wu Meiniang thought for a while and said: "Uncle had better send his cronies, Mei Niang thinks that if the prince sees the letter, he will summon the messenger to ask about the situation, and the uncle had better explain it, so that the cronies don't know anything, don't tell the prince about Mei Niang at all, then this matter is basically done!" ”
Wang Ping'an smiled and nodded, if Li Zhi really married the woman Wu Meiniang, I really don't know if it is a blessing or a curse, this woman calculates him, and she calculates it to the bone marrow, this kind of wife, if she changes someone else, she really can't afford it!
Wang Ping'an agreed, took the letter out of the house, and in the courtyard, called Ouyang Li, ordered him to send a brother to Chang'an to deliver the letter, and said what to say when he saw the prince, according to Wu Meiniang's instructions, the voice was not loud, but it could be heard in the house. This is to reassure Wu Meiniang, what you confessed, Uncle and I fully support, completely follow your wishes, and give you a complete and worry-free job.
Wu Meiniang listened in the room, she was very satisfied with Wang Ping'an's approach, and she was even more grateful, feeling that Wang Ping'an was delicate and very considerate of others.
After finishing the order, he didn't immediately send Ouyang Li to do something, Wang Ping'an entered the house again, and said, "Mei Niang, you heard it all just now, it's appropriate to say this, do you want to add anything?" ”
Wu Meiniang said: "Thank you uncle for being careful, but there is no need to add anything, Meiniang also wants to thank the brother who sent the letter, I hope he can bring back good news." ”
Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "The good news will definitely be brought back, thank him for it, there is no need, he can do things for you, it is what he should do." "Push the door out and send Ouyang Li to run errands.
Wang Ping'an didn't stay in the yard for long, and after going out, he called Huang Xiaoya and asked her to serve Aunt Yang well, and promised that if she served her well, she would find a good mother-in-law in the future, so that she could eat and drink spicy food. Huang Xiaoya was overjoyed, she could finally mix up, she didn't like spicy drinks, but she couldn't like them anymore!
After handling the affairs of the back house, he went to the main hall, and on the first day of the new year, there were countless people who patted him on the back. Although this kind of entertainment is very unnutritious, you have to deal with it, otherwise you don't give face to others.
Face is a very important thing, if someone gives it to you and you don't want it, it will offend people, if others want it, and you don't give it, it will offend people even more, so as long as it involves face, it is not a trivial matter!
Wang Ping'an came to the main hall, and sure enough, he saw that the hall was full of people! He sighed in his heart, it's really hard for these buddies, many of them were drunk here last night, but when I saw them again this morning, they were all full of energy, and even some of them could be called magnificent, with loud voices, laughing loudly, reminiscing about the past, looking to the future, the world and the north, there is nothing they don't say!
As soon as everyone saw Wang Ping'an coming, they got up at the same time, and several people who thought they had a good relationship with Wang Ping'an shouted: "Prince, why don't you sleep for a while, it was very late last night, you should be in good spirits today, we have to continue drinking!" ”
Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Everyone, gentlemen, good brothers, if you want to drink alcohol, who is afraid of whom?" But I'm afraid of the same! ”
Everyone asked, "I wonder what the prince is afraid of?" ”
Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "I'm afraid that in my house, there are not enough tables, and there is no place for you to drill!" ”
The hall laughed, and everyone saw that Wang Ping'an was speaking wittily, and they all stepped forward to pat themselves on the back and say auspicious words, eager to get closer to Lord Thorn Shi through this kind of occasion, and fortunately, they bragged in front of those who could not come to the Thorn Shi Mansion how they were and how they got the attention of Lord Thorn Shi and the prince.
After being lively for a long time, Wang Ping'an said: "Everyone, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the rules of the imperial court, it is time to pay New Year's greetings to the chief. But then again, I'm not the biggest official in Gyeongju now, and if there is no King Wu Chitose above, I have to pay New Year's greetings to him. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent, you look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke. What's going on with King Wu, now there is no one in Gyeongju who is not clear, King Wu and the prince have fallen out, and they have been hit by the prince and the prince in front of him, and they can only nest in Maling County. Like this kind of fallen Wang Sun, he is not even as good as a soup chicken, everyone hides far away, and he will never make do with it.
Wang Ping'an said again: "According to the etiquette of officialdom, I have to take you adults to go to King Wu and give him a New Year's greeting, so I can only accompany you less." However, to tell the truth, King Wu doesn't want to see a guest too much, I went to pay him a New Year's greeting, it was according to the rules, but you adults don't have to go, I can represent, or which adult wants to get close to King Wu Chitose, so go with me? ”
The merchants and the elders didn't react, and it wasn't their turn to pay New Year's greetings to King Wu anyway, but the officials lowered their heads together. The officials thought to themselves: "Don't joke, King Wu has turned his face with the prince, go to him to pay New Year's greetings at this time, it will offend the prince if it is passed out, and the king of Wu may not be willing to let us go, why bother, why bother with a hot face, why stick to someone's cold ass, I can't do it!" ”
Among the officials, there is only one person who holds his head up, and that is Qiu Tingxuan, he has no choice, he is the county commander of Maling County, and he can't hide if he wants to!
Wang Ping'an waited for a while, and when he saw that no one squeaked, he sighed and said, "Then I'll go by myself and finish the courtesy." Ladies and gentlemen, you should also go home and reunite with your families, and have a good New Year, and when the New Year is over, we have to continue to be busy! ”
Hearing him say this, everyone naturally said goodbye one after another, no one dared to stay, in case he was arrested by Lord Assassin Shi and sent to King Wu to pay New Year's greetings together, wouldn't it be boring and uncomfortable.
After a while, everyone dispersed, leaving only Qiu Tingxuan and Di Renjie. Di Renjie asked, "Big brother, do you want the younger brother to accompany you?" But say it in advance, I don't have anything to say when I see King Wu, if you make him unhappy, then you can't blame me! ”
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "You just said that if you don't want to go, you will get it, where did you get so much nonsense!" He took Qiu Tingxuan and went out of the Assassin's Mansion together and rushed to Maling County.
On the way, Wang Ping'an asked Qiu Tingxuan, how has Li Ke been recently, and is he still fooling around with those Goguryeo people? Qiu Tingxuan replied to him, what kind of fool is Li Ke, he doesn't know, because he never goes to Li Ke's side, as long as Li Ke doesn't call him, he will never take the initiative to see him, he hasn't seen him for half a month, but since the last time they met, he found that Li Ke was a little fat and a little fat, for Li Ke's age, the fortune was inevitably early!
Wang Ping'an didn't ask any more, Qiu Tingxuan didn't like to get involved in the battle between the princelings and the Wu Wang party, unless it was a last resort, what he wanted to ask from his mouth, it was difficult, not that he didn't want to say, but he simply didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
Along the way, I only talked about next year's spring plowing plan, but I didn't talk about Li Ke anymore.
When he arrived at the Maling County Ya, Wang Ping'an asked to see Li Ke. After only a moment, a servant inside reported that King Wu had slept late last night and had not gotten up yet, so he had to ask Wang Ping'an and the county magistrate of the county to wait for a while for King Wu to wake up.
Wang Ping'an couldn't, so he had to wait outside, but he waited until the afternoon, until the sun was in the west, and Li Ke ordered someone to tell Wang Ping'an that he could go in.
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Wouldn't it be deliberately repairing me, letting me wait outside to vent my anger?" He asked Qiu Tingxuan, "Brother Qiu, does King Wu usually get up so late?" It won't be just today, right? ”
Qiu Tingxuan shook his head and said: "Usually I don't pay attention to it, but the back house sings and dances every night, and the sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboo continues, which is true." ”
Wang Ping'an hehehe, thinking: "It must be a play, what decadence do you want to play, so that I can relax my vigilance against him, this is really a dream, there are too many people who have used this trick in history, and he actually used it, so he underestimated me!" ”
Together they came to the back house, and entered the flower hall, which had been built into a conservatory, and it was very hot, and the furniture had been removed, and it was empty, and there was a thick carpet in the middle of the floor, only at the end of the carpet, and a low table, and a huge screen behind the table.
There was no one in the room, Wang Ping'an had to frown and wait, and waited for a quarter of an hour, the room was hot again, Wang Ping'an was already sweating on his forehead, and suddenly heard a human voice from behind the screen, it was Li Ke's voice.
Wang Ping'an stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and said, "King Wu, Xiaguan Wang Ping'an, I have a New Year's greeting to you!" ”
Listening to the sound of clothes, Li Ke sat down heavily behind the table and said, "Get up, don't be polite, it's the New Year today?" Oh yes, it was a blast last night! ”
Wang Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and thought: "No, you don't know about the New Year, it's too nonsense!" He raised his head and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he choked!
I saw Li Ke sitting behind the table, his face was so fat that he was round, and his body was even fatter, I was afraid that he would have to weigh 1780 pounds, as if he had changed a person!
