Chapter 406 Before leaving
- >>->
Latest website: Wang Xiao was very busy in the next few days. He arranged many things and took time to go to Qin Xuance's wedding. Finally, he only had half a day to spare before departure, so he took Qin Xiao and others to see Chun Ning...
After Grandma Feng died, Chun Ning's housekeeper was replaced by a Grandma named Lu in the palace.
Aunt Lu had learned from the past and she did not dare to embarrass Princess Chunning.
But this job was really not a good one in her eyes.
As the princess's housekeeper, her main source of income should have been the bribes from the prince-in-law when he asked to see the princess. However, Wang Xiao didn't come to see Chun Ning much these days.
A girl named Qin Xiaozhu came often. She didn't have much money to make movies, but her fists were very powerful.
In addition to not accepting bribes, Grandma Lu was often ridiculed by the housekeepers.
On this day, several housekeepers were gathering together to push Pai Gow, and another woman showed off: "My princess's consort has come three times this month. No, he stuffed three taels of silver into his pocket yesterday..."
"Speaking of which, Princess Chunning and her consort are newly married. Why don't you see him coming?"
Aunt Lu responded: "Consort? My princess can now be granted the title of Marquis. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, this is the first consort to be granted the title of Marquis."
"Why are you so arrogant? You are the princess's mother-in-law, so the prince-in-law's rise to power has nothing to do with you."
"That's right, speaking of Marquis Huaiyuan, he has raised many women outside because of his influence. Tsk tsk, the women outside are so charming, why bother to come to the Tenth Prince's Mansion to look for those lumps? I don't think Lu Yaomei will ever do anything like that in her life.
I want to make money from him."
"Hey, I'm afraid Lu Yaomei will never see that Marquis in her life. Are you still proud of yourself?"
Grandma Lu lost her face, pushed the cards in her hand, and shouted: "No more playing! A bunch of gossipy bitches, nagging all day long, are they annoying?"
"Yo? Are you afraid that you don't have money to play with us? Do you want to default on your debt if you lose?"
While they were talking, a little palace lady ran in, with a blush on her face and eyes shining brightly, and said, "Mother Lu, someone is looking for you."
"Is it that girl named Qin again?"
"No, it's Marquis Huaiyuan! He, he, he... came to see the princess."
Grandma Lu was surprised, happy and a bit frightened. She hurriedly put down her sleeves and arranged them, planning to go out to greet him, but she saw Gan Tang walking in again.
Gan Tang raised his head slightly, glanced at the nannies in the room, handed a small bundle into Nanny Lu's hand, and said: "I have asked the Marquis of Huaiyuan to see the princess, so there is no need for Nanny to greet him."
I heard that you served me well, so this is a reward for you."
After the little girl finished speaking, she glanced at the people in the room again, snorted slightly, and walked out leisurely with proud steps.
Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment, then opened the bundle and took a look, and was immediately stunned.
She clutched the two golden ingots tightly, turned around, and shouted with a trembling voice: "You little consorts dare to say it and show your eyes? Do you know how much Marquis Huaiyuan loves my princess?! Do you know?"
"
Wang Xiao didn't know that after he casually rewarded two ingots of gold, he would become the most beloved consort of the princess in the Chu Dynasty.
The reason why he was so generous today was simply because Gan Tang was very dissatisfied with him. When he saw him coming, he snorted at him with his little nostrils, pouted, and frowned. Anyway, he looked very unhappy.
Wang Xiao now had a lot of gold, so he took it and sent it to Gantang, who then followed Qin Xiaozhu as he walked through the yard.
Chun Ning is practicing calligraphy in the hall.
She was still dressed in palace attire, and her sleeves were tied with cloth ribbons to prevent them from getting stained by ink. This outfit made her elegant yet a little smart.
After finishing writing one word, she heard someone coming. When she turned around and saw Wang Xiao next to Qin Xiaozhu, a light smile appeared on her face.
"Why do you have time to come here today?"
His tone was like a long-lost friend, but not unfamiliar.
Wang smiled and said: "I will leave for Liaobian tomorrow to say goodbye to you."
Chun Ning nodded, with a hint of apology in his smile.
"Since you have been married to me, I have caused you to run around in everything, so I owe it to you. The Liao Dynasty is dangerous, so you should be careful."
She said with serious eyes.
"I don't owe anything." Wang Xiao handed over a paper bag and said with a smile: "I brought you some delicious food, walnut kernels, beef jerky and the like."
Chun Ning was stunned for a moment and murmured in a low voice: "So you clearly know that I am willing to eat..."
Were you just teasing me before?
Wang Xiao's eyes fell on the paper she was practicing calligraphy on, and he saw that what she was copying was the manuscript of Yan Zhenqing's memorial to his nephew in the Tang Dynasty.
The Nephew Memorial Manuscript is known as "the second best running script in the world". It is different from the elegance of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" and is a rather sad and angry manuscript. Yan Zhenqing wrote it in tears because his brother and nephew died for the country during the Anshi Rebellion.
This tribute.
Chun Ning is just a young woman. When practicing calligraphy, choosing a copybook like this to copy can probably tell her state of mind.
She was born into a royal family, so she couldn't live a carefree life after all.
When Wang Xiao thought about this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling a little sentimental and a little pity.
"The father was trapped and the son died, and the nest fell and the eggs fell. God does not regret the misfortune, who is responsible for the poison. I miss you and am disabled, how can I redeem my body. How sad..." He muttered something in a low voice, and then said to Chun Ning: "There is something
, you don’t have to take it too seriously.”
Chun Ning smiled and said, "I just picked a post at random to practice calligraphy. You came here today not only to see me, but what do you have to explain?"
Wang Xiao nodded and said: "After I leave, if something happens here, you will still need to take action."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Xiaozhu.
Qin Xiaozhu understood, stepped on his toes, and flew up to the roof like a swallow, and began to watch the wind...
Surrounded by red walls and gold tiles, everything is silent.
A young couple in the courtyard were whispering, and Qin Xiaozhu could occasionally hear some words.
"After King Qi returns to the capital, you can let him learn to judge for himself on some matters. In short, as long as you are here, Song Xin can't make any mistakes..."
"If you need money, go and write a letter to the Wang family..."
Qin Xiaozhu looked at this scene and suddenly felt a little envious.
She couldn't tell whether she envied Wang Xiao or Chun Ning, but now that the three of them were together, she felt more at peace.
After a while, Wang Xiao finally solemnly confessed: "In case there is danger in the capital, my eldest brother will take you and your father to Tianjin and take a boat south to Shandong..."
"If I can't come back, you should be able to capture Ryukyu, or you can go overseas..."
Chun Ning shook her head and replied, "I know you can come back."
Wang Xiao then smiled.
He waved Qin Xiaozhu down and asked her to stand with Chun Ning.
The two little girls became a little confused.
Wang Xiao looked at them with a somewhat embarrassed look, and said thoughtfully: "I'm leaving tomorrow. I have something I've been thinking about for a long time, so I'd better tell you directly."
Chun Ning and Qin Xiaozhu looked at each other, suddenly feeling a little nervous.
Wang Xiao turned his back and felt like a dean.
But his aura gradually weakened.
"How should I put it? Actually, I know you guys... Well, in short, it is normal for girls to like each other. I don't mind that much about you... Do you understand?"
"Well... it's really a normal thing. You've only seen a small part of the world, but I've seen a lot. Ahem... you guys should have a good chat with yourselves. Talk clearly and don't be shackled by the world."
After saying this in a pretense of deepness, Wang Xiao himself felt ashamed.
He didn't look at their expressions, turned around quickly and left, trying his best to put on a sanctimonious back view.
It wasn't until he left the Tenth Prince's Mansion that he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's so embarrassing! What was I thinking..."
I’m more embarrassed than them all! But I’m really curious about their reactions...
Unfortunately, Wang Xiao had already escaped and there was no way for Wang Xiao to go back and peek at what the two little girls would do next. He had no choice but to shake his head, get on his horse and leave...
Everything that needs to be explained has been explained, and it is time to leave the capital.
The young man on horseback looked back at the huge pool, with thousands of thoughts filling his heart.
That evening, someone lit incense in front of Lu Zhengchu's memorial tablet, and then sat next to the coffin and began to recite it.
"Old guy, if you die, then I, Wang Zhizhi, will have to do the rest for you. It's really troublesome. Before I even set off, I encountered problems from all aspects. The court, Liao Town, Mongolia,
Liao people, North Korea, silver grain, combat power...who knows what other troublesome things there are there?
The first time I saw you, I knew that you were definitely not a good official. But what you do is really difficult, and the harder you do it, the harder it gets. I really don’t know how you survived to be so old.
?If it were me, if the Chu Dynasty couldn't be lifted up, I would smash it to pieces with a stick and rebuild it, but the reconstruction would still have to face these problems.
So, I am an amateur when it comes to playing politics. It used to be easy to save the country on the keyboard, but now I realize that an outsider is an outsider. But you, an expert, are so far apart... In short, I can barely be considered as your introduction. If by any chance you time travel
You are reborn, please remember to take care of me.
If I were asked to draw a conclusion about what you have done in this life, I would definitely say that you made a mess. What kind of bullshit mess is this? But having said that, you are not without merits, and you still have some achievements. Although in this era
It's different. I don't see it very clearly and I'm not very sure. But I judge
You people should have extended the national destiny of the Chu Dynasty for one to two more years, right?"
Lu Zhengchu's coffin was speechless.
Wang Xiao looked around, patted it gently, and whispered with a teasing smile: "So, old guy, if you get down there, help me see if that person deserves to die? This is
My only trump card..."
