Chapter 706 Li Ke became a fat man
Wang Ping'an said very "consider": "Okay, then I will copy this letter. In fact, I also hope that you can get along with His Royal Highness the better. The deeper the relationship, the better. I will copy the letter, everything is for the beauty of my mother!"
Wu Meiniang quickly gave him another blessing and said, "My uncle loves Meiniang the most, and Meiniang knows it very well."
Wang Ping'an smiled, sat at the table, spread out the paper, picked up the pen and copied the letter, and Wu Meiniang grind the ink for him. After a while, after copying the letter, 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 send the letter."
Wu Meiniang lit a candle and dripped a few drops of candle juice on the envelope. Wang Ping'an took out his small seal and sealed the letter. He picked up the letter and said, "I want to send someone to Chang'an to deliver the letter. Does Meiniang have anything else to tell me?" He couldn't help but do things, and was exhausted and was useless. Since he had to follow Wu Meiniang's wishes, of course, he had to satisfy her.
Wu Meiniang thought for a while and said, "Uncle should send his confidant. Meiniang thought that if the prince saw the letter, he would summon the messenger to ask about the situation. Uncle should explain it to let the confidant not know anything. Don't tell the prince about Meiniang at all, then this matter will basically be done!"
Wang Ping'an nodded with a smile. If Li Zhi really married the woman Wu Meiniang, he would really not know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. This woman had plotted against him and had been plotted into her bone marrow. If someone else had done this kind of wife, she would really not be able to bear it!
Wang Ping'an agreed and took the letter out of the house. He called Ouyang Li in the yard and ordered him to send a brother to Chang'an to deliver the letter. He said what he should say when he saw the prince. As Wu Meiniang told him, he said it. The voice was not loud, but it was just enough to let the house hear it. This was done to reassure Wu Meiniang. I will fully support what you told me, and I will do it completely according to your wishes.
Wu Meiniang listened in the room, very satisfied with Wang Ping'an's actions, and was even more grateful. She felt that Wang Ping'an was meticulous in his work and could think about others. If someone with a rough temperament changed, he would probably not think so thoughtfully.
After giving the order, he did not send Ouyang Li to do business immediately. Wang Ping'an entered the room again and said, "Mei Niang, you heard it just now. It's appropriate to say this. Do you need to add anything else?"
Wu Meiniang said, "Thank you for your care. I don't have to add anything. Meiniang also wants to thank the brother who sent the letter, hoping that he can bring back good news."
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "The good news will definitely be brought back. Thank you, there is no need to thank him. He should do what he should do." He pushed the door out and sent Ouyang Li to do the business.
Wang Ping'an did not stay in the yard for too long. After going out, he called Huang Xiaoya and asked her to serve Aunt Yang very well. He also promised that if she served her well, she would find a good family for her in the future and let her have a delicious and spicy drink. Huang Xiaoya was overjoyed and she could finally make a fortune. She didn't like the spicy drink, but she loved it so much that she couldn't like it anymore!
After getting things done about the Houkao, he went to the main hall. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were so many people who flattered him. Although this kind of social engagement was very unnutritious, he had to deal with it, otherwise he would not give others face.
Face is very important. If others give it to you and you don’t want it, you will offend people. If others want it and you don’t want it, you 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 saw that inside and outside the hall were full of people! He sighed in his heart, it was really hard for these buddies. Many of them drank here in a daze last night, but when I saw them again this morning, they were all full of energy. Some of them could even be called majestic, loud and loud, laughing loudly, recalling the past, looking at the future, and not all, there was nothing they wouldn't say about it!
When everyone saw Wang Ping'an coming, they stood up at the same time. 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. Today you should be well prepared. We have to continue drinking!"
Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Everyone, good brothers, who is afraid of whom if you want to drink? But you are afraid of the same!"
Everyone asked together: "I wonder what the prince is afraid of?"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm afraid that there are not enough tables in my mansion and there is no place for you to drill!"
The crowd burst into laughter. Seeing that Wang Ping'an was talking humorously, everyone stepped forward to flatter and said good things, and wanted to get closer to the governor through such occasions. Fortunately, they bragged in front of those who could not come to the governor's mansion, how did they get the attention of the governor and the prince.
After a long time of lively, Wang Ping'an said: "Everyone, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the rules of the court, it is time to wish the superiors a happy New Year. Thanks to your disloyal love, everyone comes to me to celebrate the New Year. I am really grateful. But then again, I am not the largest official in Qingzhou now. I don't have the King of Wu Qiansui on it, so I have to pay New Year's greetings to him."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became quiet. Look at me, I look at you, no one talks. What happened to the King of Wu? Now there is no unclear to the people in Quanqingzhou. The King of Wu and the Prince had a quarrel, and the prince and the prince in front of him joined forces to make them sleep in Maling County. A prince like this who was left behind was not even as good as a cock. Everyone hid far away, and they would never make do with him.
Wang Ping'an said again: "According to the etiquette of the officialdom, I have to take you all to the King of Wu to wish him a New Year, so I can only accompany you less. But to be honest, the King of Wu doesn't want to see guests too much. I go to greet him New Year, according to the rules, but you don't have to go, I can represent you, or if anyone wants to get close to King of Wu Qiansui, then go with me?"
The merchants and the old men had no reaction. It was not their turn to pay New Year's greetings to the King of Wu anyway, but the officials lowered their heads together. The officials thought to themselves: "Stop kidding, the King of Wu has turned against the prince. When they go to pay New Year's greetings to him, it will offend the prince if it is reported. Moreover, the King of Wu may not be willing to go, why bother? Why bother to touch someone's cold butt with a hot face? It's not necessary!"
Among the officials, there was only one person who raised his head, and that was Qiu Tingxuan. He had no choice. He was the county magistrate of Maling County and could not escape even if he wanted to!
Wang Ping'an waited for a while, and when no one spoke, he sighed and said, "Then I will go by myself and give the etiquette. Everyone, for the New Year, you can go home and reunite with your family. Have a good New Year. After the New Year, we have to continue to be busy!"
After hearing what he said, everyone naturally said goodbye. No one dared to stay. If they were arrested by the governor and greeted the King of Wu together, wouldn't it be boring and extremely uncomfortable?
After a moment, everyone dispersed, leaving only Qiu Tingxuan and Di Renjie. Di Renjie asked, "Brother, do you want me to accompany you? But I agreed in advance that I had nothing to say when I saw the King of Wu. If I messed with him, I would be blamed for not blame me!"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Just say you don't want to go, just say that you can do it. Where did you come from so much nonsense?" He took Qiu Tingxuan out of the governor's mansion and rushed to Maling County.
On the way, Wang Ping'an asked Qiu Tingxuan how Li Ke was doing recently and was still messing with those Goguryeo people? Qiu Tingxuan answered him, why Li Ke was messing around, he didn't know, because he never came to Li Ke's side. As long as Li Ke didn't call him, he would never take the initiative to meet him. He hadn't seen him for half a month, but from the last time he met, he found that Li Ke was a little fat and gained a little weight. For Li Ke's age, it was a bit too early to gain weight!
Wang Ping'an didn't ask any more questions. Qiu Tingxuan didn't like to get involved in the fight between the princelings and the Wu King Party. Unless he had no choice, he would ask something from him. It was difficult. It was not that he didn't want to say it, but that he simply didn't know, nor did he want to know.
Along the way, I only talked about next year's spring farming plan, but never talked about Li Ke again.
When he arrived at the Maling County Government, Wang Ping'an asked to see Li Ke after someone reported it to him. After only a moment, a servant came back to him, saying that the King of Wu had slept a little late last night and had not yet got up, so he had to let Wang Ping'an and the county magistrate of the county wait for a while to wait for the King of Wu to wake up.
Wang Ping'an couldn't, so he had to wait outside, but this waited for a full afternoon. It was not until the sun was west that Li Ke ordered someone to tell Wang Ping'an that he could go in.
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's not that I was 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? Isn't it the only thing that is today?"
Qiu Tingxuan shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to it normally, but the sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboos is constantly changing, but it's true."
Wang Ping'an said hey, thinking: "It must be a show. I want to play something decadent, 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 uses it too, which makes me underestimate me too much!"
Let’s go to the back house and enter the flower hall. The flower hall has been built into a warm room, which is very hot and the furniture has been removed, empty. There is a thick carpet in the middle of the ground, with only the end of the carpet, a short-legged table and a huge screen behind the table.
There was no one inside, so Wang Ping'an had to frown and wait. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the room was hot again. Wang Ping'an was sweating on his forehead. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind the screen, which was Li Ke's voice.
Wang Ping'an stepped forward, knelt down and bowed, and said, "King of Wu, the lower-ranking official Wang Ping'an, I am here to wish you a happy new year!"
Hearing the sound of his clothes, Li Ke sat heavily behind the table and said, "Get up, don't be too polite. Today is the New Year? Oh, yes, the sound of the pole exploded all night last night!"
Wang Ping'an was stunned and thought to himself: "No, you don't know it's the New Year, it's too nonsense!" He raised his head and smiled and said, "Prince, you..." Before he finished speaking, he choked!
Chapter completed!
