186 The Prime Minister's Wife

"Yesterday I received an urgent message from Zhang Huangyan from Fujian, Zheng's sailors have already gone north two days ago, and if everything goes well, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive at Wu Likou on the third night of the first month of May."

Song Dali immediately snickered, "Then saying this will not delay the prime minister's big day on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, and the lady will also come with the sailor."

Wang Lanping nodded, marriage is secondary, the sailor entering the river is the top priority, presumably Zheng Zhilong has also made a foolproof strategy, how can he not just rely on a nominal marriage to hand over the hard-working sailor to others.

"That's right, the new Songjiang Chief Military Officer is a Wujin soldier who has just been delegated, although he is full of economic and strategic strategies, but he is ultimately inexperienced in battle, and I am a little worried that he will not be able to handle this matter well."

Song Dali wondered, "The prime minister is not going to fight, this is a family sent thousands of miles away."

Wang Lanping glanced at him with disdain, "What kind of brain do you have, how can I cut off my siblings, I look forward to the stars and the moon and finally hope for it, but it is still too insufficient, I mean Zheng Zhilong is deeply versed in water warfare, he must know that once this water master enters the river, it will be difficult to turn back, so I also expect that the water master will only drive to Wu Li's mouth and will not go again."

Song Dali doesn't have these fancy intestines, anyway, he listens to the prime minister, and he will do whatever Wang Lanping says.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Lanping took out another book and handed it to him, "After you deal with the Purple Mountain, hand over the grain and silver to Li Dingguo, you take a part of it, and then buy more fresh vegetables and other food, and set off to Songjiang Mansion the day after tomorrow, and go to the sailor to board the **** in the name of the imperial court, what you have to do is to ask me clearly who the sailor generals who came this time are"

Song Dali smiled. "Oh, digging corners again. We're good at it, okay."

Wang Lan gave him a blank look. Why are the words so ugly coming out of your mouth, what is the meaning of digging corners, this is called working for the welfare of others, so that they know that those who know the times are handsome.

Wang Lanping said again, "When you go, first look for Li Yuannian, the general soldier of Songjiang, when he took office, he may not be very familiar with it, and there are three Jiangfang forts in the Wujiaokou area. That's the key to controlling the entry and exit of the Fujian Navy Division, you go to check the combat readiness there for me, and when you go, you must be quiet, don't let the people of the Navy Division notice, if you get there, the Navy Division has already entered the river, then your task is to assist General Li to immediately block the river, and not a single boat will be released."

Song Dali's eyes widened, "Is this still going to be beaten?" ”

"Beat you up, how can I let go of the fat in my hands. As long as they enter the river, it will fall into my pocket, and these hundreds of warships will go north, and there will be tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on board, and it is not a period of war preparation. The military rations that came with the ship must not last long, and the blockade of the river prevented them from going back, and second, to prevent their supply ships from coming in. Trap it and let them come to me. Of course, that's for later. You just need to find out the details of the future, remember not to conflict with them, no matter what grievances you have suffered, you have to endure it for me."

"Oh, everything is up to the Prime Minister"

Wang Lanping nodded, and casually went through the pile of copywriting, "Well, you go back first, you can start to do the matter of Purple Mountain tonight."

Song Dali's eyes wandered, and he said with a smile, "So the prime minister doesn't blame the palace for that incident?" ”

Wang Lanping lowered his head to look at the copywriting, didn't look up and said, "Why, I haven't knelt enough after kneeling for a day, so I can't go outside and kneel again."

Song Dali hurriedly smiled, "No, no, enough is enough, my legs and stomach are still twitching, Prime Minister, please do something"

Wang Lanping squinted slightly, closed the official document, "I know what you want to say, tell you, don't even think about it"

Song Dali's cheeks puffed up, and muttered, "I haven't said it yet, Prime Minister, haven't you seen the miserable image of the two concubines, tsk, the emperor can really do it, just that sister, there is no good meat on the buttocks, instead of suffering so much in the palace, it is better to let the emperor order them to be sent out of the palace to marry."

Wang Lanping shook his head and said, "Marry? Who to marry, marry you? Out of the palace, she is also the emperor's woman, are you qualified, wait a minute, you have even seen people's butts? ”

Song Dali knew that he was speechless, and swallowed his saliva, "Treat the injury, treat the injury, and don't do anything else"

Wang Lanping really wanted to smoke him, "How did you get into this harem?" There are two or three thousand palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City, so you are not afraid that those princes and ministers will tear down your bones."

Song Dali grinned, "This, isn't this Prime Minister, you give me this power, how do you say that, yes, they ...... the first to get the moon near the building."

"Shut up, don't deduct the basin on me, your duty is to guard the palace ban, no one will let you and the imperial concubine frown, if those princes and ministers know about this matter first, I won't be able to protect you, the imperial concubine is like a mother, you kid is a big rebellion, you will be spurned by the world, is it worth it for you to take such a big risk for these two women?"

"The peony flower is dead, and the ghost is also romantic, I admit it"

"Hey, you kid is good at writing, so let's stop sneaking around in the future, if you treat them sincerely, they are willing to follow you, I will fulfill you, but not now, wait ......"

"Prime Minister Xie is complete, from now on, I will listen to whatever the prime minister says" Song Dali hurriedly answered, lest the prime minister not admit it.

Wang Lanping snorted, "Look at your little breath, your soul is hooked."

Song Dali touched his head, hehe was happy.

Wang Lanping said, "I'll talk about this later, it's yours and yours after all, but I'm curious, if you really bring them home, can your mother-in-law tolerate them?" ”

Song Dali clenched his fist and waved, "I can't beat her."

Wang Lanping waved his hand again and again, "Get it, get out, don't say cruel things to me, as if no one knows that you are afraid of guilt, remember, the children's private affairs will be discussed later"

"Yes, the Prime Minister's words are a holy decree"

Song Dali smiled after saying it and retreated.

Divine decree? Wang Lanping also laughed secretly when he heard this.

It didn't take long for people to come and go in the Dingguo Mansion, and the commanders of the battalions arrived one after another, along with the new counselors of the battalions, seventy or eighty people gathered together, and today is the joy of the prime minister's concubine.

Dozens of tables of banquets have already been set up in the compound, and the happy event is in a hurry. The chefs in the house are busy, and the banquets are hosted by the restaurants outside. That's really a mountain of delicacies, and there are all kinds of delicacies.

Wang Lanping did not go to the banquet immediately, although the concubine was not as good as the wedding. But in order to show respect for Fang Ling, she must not be sloppy, just the guests invited today made Wen Ling happy, they are all high-ranking officials and fierce generals above the fourth grade, which can be regarded as giving her enough face.

This is not enough, under the service of Yun Niang and Du Ningning, Wang Lanping put on new clothes, refreshed, and ordered someone to set up the ancestral tablet of the Wang family in front of the main hall of the front hall. This is when we come to the antechamber.

The hall was already full of high moons.

At the top table sat all the commanders of the battalions, and Li Dingguo was among them.

The commander of the Dingyuan battalion couldn't stand the strong aroma of wine before the banquet began, so he secretly drank a few glasses first, and said to Li Dingguo, who was sitting next to him, while drinking, "Zhongyi Hou, you said that the prime minister is also right, obviously there are three beautiful women in the mansion, but you have to do things one by one, you say." It's easier to do a lot of things together, and let's take a few less money."

Li Dingguo said, "Look at your slashing appearance, and return the dragon and tiger general"

Cao Dingjiao said. "What's the matter, we are soldiers at best, who can compare with your loyal and righteous marquis. It's not that you're really interesting to you. Let's talk about it, isn't it? The mother-in-law rewarded each other, plus a house, that house was Ma Shiying's before, not smaller than this Dingguo Mansion, this is not worth mentioning, Nanjing Garrison Admiral, Hou Ye, did you have any positions before this? ”

Listening to Cao Dingjiao's meaning, it must be dissatisfied, Li Dingguo was born in a small soldier, and he did not have an official and a half-post before he was named the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, he was purely white, and he didn't even have military merits, just by virtue of the honor of sending a red face to the prime minister, who was not envious, jealous and hateful, and not long ago there was an accident, and the pseudo-obedient envoy actually hid from the sky and the sea, and suddenly appeared in the city of Nanjing, and Nanjing's city defense was useless.

Li Dingguo's face was red and white for a while, he was not a good talker, and unlike all the generals here who followed Prime Minister Wang Cheng on the battlefield to earn fame with a knife and a gun, he only had a loyalty to Wang Cheng that could not be repaid, but who can say this.

Fortunately, Wang Lanping appeared in the front hall at this time.

"The prime minister has arrived!"

The housekeeper Zhou Hai sang loudly.

Everyone stood up, clasped their fists, and said in unison, "Congratulations to the prime minister"

Wang Lan pressed his hand flatly, and said with a polite smile, "It's all here, okay, thank you for the light, sit down, let's get drunk and rest for a while."

"There's a guest here!" At the gate of the courtyard, a voice sounded at this time, and everyone was looking for prestige, but the people who came were court officials, and it is said that those who came today were all civil and military officials at all levels under the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they did not invite people from the court.

"Prime Minister Naru Mrs., why didn't anyone inform me, Prime Minister, don't be presumptuous and uninvited, can the Prime Minister enjoy a glass of happy wine, so that you can also be happy"

Wang Lanping recognized him, Qian Xiaole, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"It turned out that the heavenly official of the Criminal Department has arrived, please hurry up, please hurry up, busy with official business, Zhou Hai, how do you do things, don't you know if I have a good personal relationship with Qian Shangshu? You didn't invite him? ”

Zhou Hai understood, and bowed deeply to Qian Xiaole, who was busy entering, "The old slave should die, it's all because of the old slave's memory, and he made amends to Lord Qian."

Qian Xiaole also understood that he didn't invite him at all today, and smiled at the moment, "No defense, I'm not invited, Prime Minister, congratulations."

As he spoke, Qian Xiaole handed the gift box with a red cover in his hand to Zhou Hai, and Zhou Hai reached out to take it.

Before Wang Lanping introduced him to everyone, he heard Qian Xiaole say again, "The prime minister atoned for his sins, and there are still some private matters that are inconvenient to disturb, so I will leave, colleagues, if you are not drunk, you will not return, Qian will say goodbye."

After Qian Xiaole finished speaking, he left without waiting for Wang Lanping to speak, and even Wang Lanping was surprised at this time, coming in such a hurry?

Wang Lanping hurriedly turned around to look at the gift box that Zhou Hai was carrying, he reached out and took it and tried it, there was almost no weight, there must be nothing in it, could it be a silver ticket? Impossible, although Qian Xiaole has a lot of money, he is not such a vulgar and superficial person, what could it be? Uninvited just to send an empty box, not like, there may be something else inside.

At that moment, Wang Lanping glanced at the guard's method, and asked him to store this box separately, and looked at it, and the guests dispersed to look at it.

After a while, Du Ningning and Yun Niang walked out slowly with Fang Ling, who had a red hijab on his head, left and right.

All the guests were silent, only to see Fang Ling from head to toe dressed in red, the wide wedding dress completely covered her delicate figure, only her graceful and luxurious gait made people stand up respect, Wang Chengxiang's choice of concubines are extraordinary, it can be seen that this Mrs. Ru must be from everyone's girlfriends.

Wang Lanping walked over and took Fang Ling's hand from Yun Niang and Du Ningning's hands, Du Ningning also said naughtily, "Prime Minister, Miss Fang will be handed over to you from now on, you can treat her well."

After that, he and Yun Niang snickered and ran away hand in hand, it was rare that they could still think like this on such a day, of course, this is not that they are not jealous, because they understand that in the future, they will get a thousand times better.

The candlesticks in the front hall were covered with red paper, and the room was bright red.

Wang Lanping took Fang Ling's hand, and his face was also full of smiles, he was happy today, who was not happy on the night of candles in the cave room.

"Ahh With Fang Ling's exclamation, the red hijab on her head had been lifted by Wang Lanping in front of the court, this move was definitely not a custom that should be in the wedding.

Fang Ling's face was red, his head was lowered, and his appearance was really moving.

There were cheers in the hall, Fang Ling was beyond the reach of Du Ningning and Yun Niang in terms of appearance and temperament, and it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, he can get out of the hall, enter the kitchen, and hook the groom.

Wang Lanping laughed, his face was full of the look of drinking and chatting with the generals in the army, and he waved his hand to the guests, "So that you can know that from today on, Lao Tzu has a woman, Li Dingguo, look, how is it better than your mother-in-law, you, Song Xian, to the bottom is your wife or my woman is the first beauty in Nanjing."

This is said to be vulgar, but it caters to the hearts of all the generals present, they are all generals who lead troops to fight, and no one is immune to foul language, even those generals of the family are not exempt from vulgarity, because soldiers are all lower-class people, so it is easy to mingle with them, and often the rougher the words, the easier it is to connect with the soldiers.

Everyone laughed, the prime minister was still the former general who scolded his mother on the battlefield, and he had not forgotten the life and death of his brothers.

It's just that Fang Ling was a little surprised, she had never seen the prime minister have this side, but before she could adjust her mood, there was another exclamation, and the person was suspended in the air, falling into Wang Lanping's arms like a bird.

Wang Lanping hugged Fang Ling horizontally, constantly circling between the tables, Fang Ling was so ashamed that he couldn't see anyone, and completely shrunk his head into his robe, but his heart was overjoyed, such a trouble, everyone knew that she would be Wang Chengxiang's beloved woman.

Wang Lanping introduced to the guests as he walked, "Open your eyes and take a good look, this is called the national color and natural fragrance, and this is called the demeanor of all directions."

Just hold it like this, how can there be any manners, there is only a flattering state.

That Fang Ling was like a willow in his arms, and from time to time he complained vaguely, and the sentence "Prime Minister" was called a thousand times and a hundred turns. (To be continued.) )
