186 Wang Yi visited the Nanlin Embassy
Wang Yi asked to see him, and after a while, he was approved, and the speed was also something that Wang Yi did not expect. Could it be that the envoys of the south have not handed in the post of asking for a meeting, just waiting for the Taiping courtiers to ask for a meeting first?
Wang Yi waited at the door for a while, and a woman wearing a veil and dressed the same as Ah Duo before came out of the embassy, nodded at Wang Yi, and said, "Please come with me." ā
When Wang Liang behind him raised his feet and wanted to follow, several people from the south behind him stopped him coldly: "The envoy only invited Lord Wang, and the others are not allowed to enter." ā
When Wang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, and prayed, "Sir, you must hold on." ā
Wang Yi followed the maid into the embassy, obviously it was his own embassy, but Wang Yi felt a little apprehensive, if it was an envoy from another country, he had never been timid, but it was a girl in the south, which really made Wang Yi a little unsure where to start.
The embassy is full of Taiping architectural style. Soon I entered the lobby of the room.
In the lobby, a bamboo curtain was lowered, and through the light next to it, a figure could be faintly seen behind the bamboo curtain.
A slender female shadow, Wang Yi seemed to feel a little familiar, and wanted to take a closer look, but was interrupted by a voice behind her.
"This is the envoy of the south. The handmaid next to him said.
"Your Excellency, this is Lord Wang Yi of Taiping. The maid turned to the slender woman behind the bamboo curtain and said respectfully.
"It turned out to be Lord Wang Yi, I have heard for a long time that Lord Wang's jade tree is in the wind, chic and dignified, and when I see it today, it really lives up to its name. As soon as the envoys from the south came up, they praised all the way, which disturbed Wang Yi for a while, and he was embarrassed, so he hurriedly lowered his head and stammered: "Where, where." The envoy has won the prize. This is completely false, false. ā
"I heard that Taiping praised people like this, it must be right, Lord Wang Yi, I think I'm doing a good job of following the local customs. The envoy said in a crisp voice.
"It seems that the envoy has done his homework, and this praise is correct. Wang Yi smiled helplessly, it turned out that this polite compliment was said so directly. "The emperor heard that the envoy of the south has entered the embassy, and there are still a few days before the celebration of the emperor's birthday, and the emperor is afraid that the envoy is not used to it, so he sent the minister to visit. ā
"Is it useful to tell you?" the envoy said crisply, "If so, I say, we miss a man, what should we do?"
"This. Wang Yi, who was full of economy and strategizing, was sweating profusely at this time, and didn't know how to deal with it, in the giggling smile of the maid behind him, Wang Yi reluctantly opened his mouth, and the wise Wang Yi decided to change the topic: "The emperor has also prepared some gifts, please let the envoys smile." ā
"If you have a gift, you naturally laugh at it, I don't know what gift Lord Wang Yi personally chose for us?"
Behind Wang Yi, several handmaidens brought up the gifts one after another, and after Wang Yi introduced them one by one, the tone of the envoy did not seem to have changed much. No matter how extravagant Wang Yi was, contrary to his previous actions, Wang Yi felt that the eyes of the envoys did not seem to be on those gifts, but on Wang Yi himself.
The cold sweat on Wang Yi's head broke out, and he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, this envoy shouldn't have taken a fancy to himself.
If this is in love with himself, the envoy of Nanlin opened his mouth, and the emperor will definitely not refuse, and then he will become Nanlin's son-in-law from then on?
Oh my God, what a horrible thing to do.
"Lord Wang, you are not too old, I don't know if you have a marriage match?" The envoy didn't seem to be interested in the silk and spices in front of him at all, propped up his little head, looked through the bamboo curtain, and looked at Wang Yi, who had become more mature, and said.
"Well, uh, not yet. Wang Yi replied tremblingly, and the expression with a little fear made the envoy through the bamboo curtain feel very interesting.
"Then Lord Wang, what kind of girl do you like?" the envoy seemed to be particularly interested in this question, and continued to ask.
"This, this, my lord, this question does not seem appropriate. Wang Yi said euphemistically.
"Oh, by the way, the men of the peace are more reserved, so I'll change the way. With so many women in the south, is Lord Wang interested?"
This question, Wang Yi was even more embarrassed, and decided to change the topic, worked hard, and stubbornly led the topic to the gift again. Wang Yi took out a delicate wooden box from his chest, and as soon as he opened it, the maids behind him took a few steps back in disgust.
Wang Yi didn't find it, but continued: "This is a rare turmeric spice in Taiping, it smells good, and it can also prevent mosquitoes. I heard that there are many mosquitoes in the south, and this can prevent mosquito infestation. ā
"Turmeric powder? I heard that the main material of turmeric powder is copper nitrate from Xixuan, and a small amount of copper nitrate with high purity is the key to whether the turmeric powder is pure. Although Xixuan produces copper nitrate, it will not extract it, and Taiping will extract it, but there is no copper nitrate. Because copper nitrate has a strong pungent smell and is dangerous, Taiping restricts the entry of copper nitrate. Therefore, the turmeric powder produced is rare, especially the peaceful one. ā
"The envoy knew very well. Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Wang, do you often use this?"
"I don't often use this one, and I don't really like the taste, so I don't use it often. ā
"That's good. ā
"Okay?" Wang Yi raised her head with some confusion.
"Yes, turmeric powder, for people who don't like mosquitoes, it's very easy to use, if it's a Gu master in the south, it can be regarded as a natural enemy. If Lord Wang finds a Gu Master from the south in the future, he will not be able to use it. ā
"Ah, that's what I owe to think about. Only then did Wang Yi realize that the disgusted expressions on the faces of the maids beside her hurriedly put it away.
"It's okay, Lord Wang is also kind. So, why doesn't Lord Wang find a marriage match at this age?" the envoy very smoothly moved on to the topic he was interested in.
Wang Yi's cold sweat that she couldn't stop finally came out again, complaining in her heart, this is simply a blind date.
"My parents died early when I was a child, but fortunately I was taught by my master to read the Four Books and the Five Classics. There are no elders to marry me. ā
"That's good. The envoy said, "Don't get me wrong, Lord Wang, I don't mean anything else." ā
"No, it's fine. Wang Yi stretched out his sleeve and wiped his forehead with his sleeve without hesitation.
Wang Liang outside the embassy. Pacing outside the embassy, looking at the sun above his head from time to time, his husband has entered nearly an hour, and this is a bunch of women in the south, should Mr. be.
Wang Liang gasped, sighed, and said to himself, "Sir, take care of your body!"
"Eh, Wang Liang, why are you here? Hai Pingsheng saw Wang Liang from the car, so he got out of the car and walked in the direction of Wang Liang.
"Sir, there's inside. Wang Liang pointed to the embassy. Hai Pingsheng looked at it and said, "This is not the embassy in the south, what is Wang Yi going to do inside?"
"The emperor has sent a decree to ask Mr. to buy some gifts and visit the envoys of Nanlin. Wang Liang said.
Hai Pingsheng thought about it, nodded and said, "Also, there is nothing wrong with the emperor's approach." ā
"There's nothing wrong with it, the problem is that Mr. has been in for an hour and hasn't come out yet. Wang Liang said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid. Hai Pingsheng patted Wang Liang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your husband has no marriage match, don't be afraid, the big deal is to resign from the Taiping official and go to Nanlin." ā
"No, I've heard that the streets are full of bugs. Wang Liang shook his body and said, "Then I would prefer to go back to Fuzhou." ā
"Lord Hai, where are you going?" Wang Liang looked at Hai Pingsheng and asked.
"IāI'm looking for your husband. He told me to do it, and I did it all, just waiting for the snake to come out of the hole. ā
"What is done? What snake?"
"Tell your husband, and he'll know. Okay, I'll go ahead and don't bother your husband. Hai Pingsheng smiled and walked back.
"Eh, Lord Hai, won't you save my husband?"
"No, after all, this kind of experience is rare. Hahaha. ā
