In the celebrant mansion, Lian Po got up slowly, and it took a long time to calm down his excited mood and return to his original position.
"Si Li, a soldier priest is better than Pang Nuan who has been here for ten years, Pang Nuan is more interested in the other plans of the Si Li, it is better to say it here, if you don't say it today, Pang Nuan is afraid that she will not be able to sleep at night if she thinks about it."
It seemed that seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy just now, Pang Nuan smiled and spoke like this, slightly adjusting the atmosphere.
Next, Wang Li put some formed and unformed ideas in his mind, such as pulling back the elite troops who had contributed to the war, the king presided over the welcoming ceremony into the city, and the mediation envoys from various countries gathered in Handan, and the king reviewed the meritorious troops, had a military parade, and promoted the military power of the Great Zhao.
There are so many plans, the two people who said it nodded in approval, and some imperfections were also supplemented by two people.
After these plans were finished, several people exchanged their opinions on the matter of Zhao Yan's peace talks and the mediation of envoys from various countries after a period of time, which was also the main thing for Pang Nuan and Lian Po to go to the Sili Mansion with Wang Li today.
Wang Li's authority under the jurisdiction of this celebrant was previously said to be the consolation monument, which was the scope of sacrifice, all kinds of military parades, ceremonies to enter the city, and such large-scale events and banquets held by the state were also under the responsibility of the celebrants.
In addition, the main thing is diplomacy, in the future, the people of Yan Kingdom will come to the peace talks, and it is he Wang Li who will preside over the peace talks, and the envoys of various countries will visit Handan, and the arrangements should also be made by him, the unified arrangement of the celebrant house, how to mediate, he should also come forward on behalf of the Zhao State.
He stayed in the palace until it was almost evening, when Wang Li left here and returned to his mansion.
As night fell, when Wang Li returned to the palace, the sun had already set in the distance, but the refracted light was still transmitted through the atmosphere, creating a pale golden cloud in the western sky. It's just that over time. This glimmer of brilliance eventually disappeared.
When he returned to the mansion, Wang Li was looking at the plaque being replaced at the door of the mansion, a plaque with "Taishifu" written in seal characters was being replaced, and another brand new "Sili Mansion" was being hung up.
"Zhao Guang." Wang Li's butler who was commanding on the side summoned him: "How do you know that I am already a celebrant and have made a plaque so quickly?" ”
"Master, oh, Lord Sili. After the court meeting ended this morning, the ministers and doctors of the Manchu Dynasty sent people to send gifts to congratulate the Taishi Oh Sili on the joy of moving to the right. ”
"Lord Si Li, Zhao Guang is an old man who was a housekeeper here at that time, but when Ma Fujun was alive, he didn't see the entire Handan ministers and doctors come over to give gifts like this."
Zhao Guang's face was full of excitement, and he took out a roll of cloth from his arms.
"Master Ceremonies. This is the gift list of the ministers of Handan and the doctors of various prefectures, Zhao Guangdu counted them one by one, and has arranged the gifts to be put into the warehouse, please check them. ”
Wang Li took the cloth, and then opened it, this roll of cloth was the elder, the whole list of gifts from right to left, each vertical line is a doctor's name, position and number of gifts. The text is not very good-looking. However, it is very well documented.
"Xu Liang, the doctor of the fourth division, congratulates the great priest on the joy of moving to the right and congratulates him on a thousand dollars."
"Doctor Taile Zong Sheng congratulated the great priest on the joy of moving to the right. He congratulated 100 horses of fine cloth. ”
……
Wang Li looked at it in a row, and sure enough, it was the upper doctor from the top to the Xiangguo, the middle to the Liuqing and the lower Liuqing, and the lowest doctor.
The small one is only a thousand dollars, a hundred pieces of cloth, and the big one even has hundreds of horses of Bashu Shangpinshu brocade, all kinds of pearls, gold, and so on, and all kinds of drugs such as 100-year-old ginseng and 100-year-old He Shou Wu are sent in bundles.
There was no need to look at the treasury, Wang Li only looked at the scroll of cloth in front of him and knew what kind of mountain these gifts had been piled up, and their value was not a novel.
"Sure enough, it's good to be an official, even if you don't make money, you can collect so much if you like it?"
"Zhao Guang, you have done a good job, today all the ministers and doctors of the Manchu Dynasty have given gifts to me, in this way, you and I will send invitations all over the place according to this list, and three days later, I will hold a dinner in the mansion and invite them to come."
"This dinner is relatively big, and you have to start preparing it today." Wang Li thought for a moment: "In addition, you have transferred two hundred yuan from your account as a reward for your ability to do things during this time, and you have to work hard these days." ”
"Zhao Guang thanks Lord for the reward, this dinner will definitely be held for adults."
"Go ahead!" Wang Li waved his hand and went to the mansion, at this time he entered the mansion, the weather in the entire mansion was completely different from the past, and everyone's face was filled with joy, but now, this is no longer the Taishi Mansion, but one of the six kings, the mansion of Lord Si Li.
Wang Li entered the mansion all the way, but whenever he met someone, he all saluted him, and congratulated the lord on moving to the right to the ceremony.
"Sir!"
When he arrived at the door of the inner courtyard, Wu Tingfang shouted loudly, and it was rare for Wu Yingyuan to come over on the side, and then he saw Wang Li pounce into Wang Li's arms with a happy face.
"Congratulations to Mr. Fang'er, Mr. will be Master Ceremonial in the future."
Wang Li held Wu Tingfang's soft delicate body in his arms: "That gentleman also congratulates Fang'er." ”
"Congratulations to Fang'er?" Wu Tingfang was puzzled.
"Congratulations to Fang'er for marrying in the future, it will not be Mrs. Taishi, but Mrs. Si Li." Wang Li patted her little head and laughed in a low voice, Wu Tingfang listened to his eyebrows and eyes bent into a moon, and then seemed to think of something.
"Sir, Mr. He Xi, the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, has a gift to send over, Mr. He Xi Fang'er, Fang'er also wants a gift."
"Oh? Fang'er, what kind of gift do you want? Wang Li asked curiously.
"Fang'er looked at the gift list at Zhao Guang's, Lord Si Kou gave Mr. 100 horses of Shu brocade, Fang'er wants some Shu brocade to make clothes, Mr. Shu brocade is beautiful to make clothes!"
A mansion has its own rules, although Wu Tingfang is not married at this time, but in this mansion, it should be rationed, in fact, it has come according to the standard of a wife, it is the highest among all women, and there are rules, so it is not owned by Wang Li, she can use it as much as she can.
Seeing the brocade with Bashu today, Wu Tingfang felt happy, so he took this opportunity to ask Wang Li for a gift.
After finishing speaking, Wu Tingfang also peeked at Wang Li cautiously, as if she was afraid of disagreeing, it was normal for her to have this heart.
It turns out that the real rise of this Shu brocade is to get the Han Dynasty, although there is already this kind of thing in the land of Bashu at this time, but the output is very small, the flow out is less, these brocades that flow out, all of them are regarded as treasures by the ministers of various countries, today Lord Si Kou sent a hundred horses of Shu brocade, that is really a big deal.
"So that's the case, the hundred horses of Shu brocade will all be handed over to Fang'er." A hundred horses of Shu brocade, if you can buy this girl you love, why not do it, Wang Li waved his hand, and directly agreed.
"All the hundred horses of Shu brocade will be handed over to Fang'er?" Wu Tingfang was pleasantly surprised: "Great, Fang'er knows that Mr. Lu Dao will agree, but is it really all for Fang'er?" ”
"But there is one condition, Fang'er has to agree to it." Wang Li hugged her delicate waist and whispered.
"Condition!" Wu Tingfang's face suddenly turned red when he heard this, on weekdays, Mr. always likes to talk about conditions, which is nothing more than those embarrassing things. "Sir!"
"Ha Luha, where does Fang'er want to go, these hundred Mr. Shu brocade will be handed over to Fang'er, but if Fang'er uses it to make clothes, she will definitely prepare two pieces for Mr., as well as your sister Qian'er, your aunt and them, and the rest, you will dispose of the rest by yourself."
"Sir!" Wu Tingfang listened to Wang Li's words, not such conditions, but he wanted to crookedly roar, his face turned redder, and then he stomped his little feet: "It's all your sir." ”
As he spoke, his face was filled with joy: "Sir, you should talk to your father about business first, I will go and tell Sister Qian'er and Aunt Ya about this, Aunt Ya's maidservant Xiaomei is a great tailor, and handing over the brocade to her will definitely make the best clothes." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tingfang broke out of Wang Li's arms, and then shouted sweetly with Wu Yingyuan next to him, and then jumped away, with an innocent look, making Wang Li feel as if he was going back to that young and frivolous age.
"Father-in-law, how did you have the leisure to come to my house today, but you came to see Fang'er?" As soon as Wu Tingfang went, Wang Li stepped forward and said to Wu Yingyuan.
"Shifang, you have such a big event, how can your father not come! I didn't expect that some time ago, Shifang was just a master, but now he is Master Sili, which is really gratifying. ”
Wu Yingyuan smiled and congratulated Wang Li.
The king's favored minister, and now he is one of the six secretaries of Zhao State, with such a future son-in-law, how can he not be happy, Wang Li was promoted, and their Wu family is also rising.
"Well, thank you father-in-law, by the way, now is the time to sow alfalfa, have those alfalfa already been planted?"
"It's already been planted, and the book you gave Shifang says very clearly, the summer sun is too strong this year, so we found a place in the pasture in the north outside the city that won't be exposed to the sun for too long to cultivate, and it has now sprouted."
"That's good, I've heard Fang'er talk about the ranch in the north, I only heard that the scenery there is excellent, if you have leisure, and if you have good weather, you will definitely go there with your family to visit."
Speaking of this, Wang Li seemed to remember something: "Father-in-law, speaking of the ranch, Shifang has something that wants to trouble his father-in-law. ”
"Well, Shifang, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, they are all a family, and there is no trouble or trouble." Wu Yingyuan waved his hand.
"Then Shifang is welcome, Shifang happened to have a recent incident, I want to need three of the best good horses, this horse is still my father-in-law's family, so I want my father-in-law to choose one or two for Shifang."
"It's a simple matter, I'll go to the ranch tomorrow to pick out the best horses, and I'll send them to Shifang tomorrow night."
"Then thank you father-in-law." Wang Li and Wu Yingyuan bowed their hands. (To be continued.) )
