Chapter 705 Wu Meiniang’s letter to Li Zhi

Ouyang Li smiled and said, "As a wet nurse for a year, you can get 100 acres of fertile land. I guess that family has to cry and shout and send their wife to the mansion! Even if his children eat less milk for one year, what can they do? You will never have to worry about food and clothing when you grow up!"

Wang Ping'an nodded slightly and said, "This is easy to deal with, but those people who know about that spring flower tonight, it's okay for the maid in the mansion to say that, right under our noses, but those stable women..."

Ouyang Li slashed down with one palm, made a killing move, and said, "Everything is destroyed? Otherwise, my subordinates will take them out of the city and deal with them directly. If you finish them all, there will be no consequences!"

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "It's outrageous. It's the New Year. Besides, the child is just born again. You can't just come to this world because she wants others to see blood, right? This is too unlucky!"

Ouyang Li frowned and said, "Then we have to send it away, we can see it away from afar, but we don't seem to have any place to settle them. Besides, if we want to see it away, we have to see it away together with their families. Otherwise, if there is a big trouble, it will be too troublesome and there is no end to you!"

Wang Ping'an nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Send all the relevant people to Zheliu County. This is our territory, which is the safest. Give each family one hundred acres of land, give them another five hundred taxes of house settlement, and give them enough oxen and other things. They live without worries from now on, and they can live a rich life, and they will not agree. Moreover, this kind of rich life is just there. As long as they live, they will be afraid of losing and let them leak the news, and they will not agree."

Ouyang Li smiled and said, "I used money to smash them and even hit Zheliu County all the way? This is too easy to do. My subordinates will definitely do it well, so the master can rest assured."

Wang Ping'an said again: "Tell those stable ladies that they said that the child could not survive and unfortunately died. Don't say much about anything else."

When he said these words, he looked sad. The world's affairs were nothing more than losing relatives. Unfortunately, Xiao Taiping, the child, lost his mother because his mother didn't want her. It seems that he can only raise her well in the future, and he cannot let her character be the same as her mother, and he cannot covet the imperial power and the throne like the Taiping princess in history, and even ended up losing her life!

Ouyang Li whispered softly, his expression was a little uncomfortable, and he whispered: "That child... wasn't saved?" He had been protecting Wu Meiniang, and had thought more than once about what the child she gave birth would look like, but when he heard that the child died, he felt naturally sad.

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "I adopted the child and thought he was adopted. He named him Taiping. Just because he was a daughter, the aunt Chunhua didn't want her, for fear of losing the prince's favor. Now she is staying in the house and writing a letter saying that the child was not saved, so she won the prince's sympathy and brought her back to her."

He was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Meiniang's behavior. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he could not bear it and showed a little in front of his confidant.

Ouyang Li didn't understand it at first, and he really couldn't understand it. Normal people wouldn't do things like Wu Meiniang, but after just being stunned, he figured it out, and a look of horror appeared on his face!

He said, "No, no! How could Yang Chunhua think like this? So what can her daughter do? Is it different from her and the prince's biological flesh? Besides, the prince... he may not dislike his daughter. He thought he should like his daughter, and he would even like his son!"

Wang Ping'an said oh, looked at Ouyang Li curiously, and said, "How did you know and how did you guess it?"

Ouyang Li laughed dryly and said, "Master, you are doing great things. What the prince talks about is a major national event, but we are different. We must protect the prince and you at any time! There are some subtle things you cannot notice, but we can notice them. When I went to the cave temple last time, my subordinates noticed that when the aunt Chunhua asked Buddha to give birth to a child, the prince did not pay special attention to it, and he often frowned. Once, he said privately that having a daughter was worry-free. We heard it far, although the voice was small when he said it, we were far away. In fact, we all heard it, but because it was not a big deal, and having a baby had nothing to do with us, so we didn't say it out."

Wang Ping'an, yes, for the Li family, having a son is not as good as having a daughter. If there are too many sons, it is really annoying. They cut each other around. From the generation of Xiao Taiping's grandfather to the generation of her nephew, she has never stopped. Her nephew, Tang Minghuang, was even more cruel. She killed her eldest son and stole the wife of her younger son!

Ouyang Li said: "So my subordinates thought that although Aunt Chunhua was a very smart person, she was wrong about this matter. Maybe the prince really likes his daughter, which is more than his son!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "That's not necessarily the case. We all think about family affection. As Aunt Chunhua, she doesn't think about things the same as we think!"

After sighing, Wang Ping'an said, "We don't want to discuss these things. It's useless to discuss them. Maybe it will cause trouble. Go and do things more strictly. If you have money, you can make ghosts push the mills and make ghosts laugh. Those stable ladies will laugh when they see money!"

Ouyang Li said: "That's right, who will not laugh if you change me, I will never have to worry about food and clothing for several lifetimes!" After that, he left the main hall and went to do business. He went back and forth all night. Fortunately, he had better physical strength, otherwise he would not be able to bear it.

Wang Ping'an stood up and left the main hall to go to the back house. When he passed by Wu Meiniang's small yard, he stopped and thought for a while, but he didn't go in and slowly walked to his parents' yard.

The yard of the old couple of the Wang family was very lively, and several sheep were tied up. The sheep came to a new place and kept bleating. The maids and mothers had experience in serving people, but they were helpless when they fiddled with the sheep. Somehow they could not let the sheep not scream. A maid beat the sheep with a feather duster, but the more they beat the sheep, the louder it became. The sheep cried in the back house!

Wang Ping'an entered the yard and saw a group of maids and mothers surrounding the sheep. He was both angry and funny, and said, "Sheep love to eat paper. Just feed them paper. Don't beat them. The more you beat them, wouldn't they make the more happy they scream, and wouldn't they let the master's wife go to bed!"

The maids and the mother-in-law were all surprised. Sheep like to eat paper? It’s too agile! How expensive is that paper? If it’s a good white paper, it’s the kind that the young master writes. It’s more expensive to have a sheep with just one knife. Who can afford it?

Seeing that they were all stunned, Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "If it really doesn't work, tie the sheep's mouth, just don't let them yell. What's the trouble? Also, don't tell me what's going on today. Whoever tells her will send her to the Turks, find a Turkic man, and let her fiddle with the sheep all day long, and play with her in groups!"

The maids and grandmothers almost fainted from fear. They even went to Turkish to herd sheep and put them out in groups. Just the few people in front of them could not be matched. Who can stand it if there are more!

Wang Ping'an entered the room. The doors and windows in the room were all closed tightly, and there were several large copper stoves. The room was warm. His father Wang Youcai had already lying on the bed, holding his head with one hand, looking at Yang. Yang sat by the bed, pushing the cradle, humming a little tune, and looking at Xiao Taiping in the cradle with a loving face.

Seeing Wang Ping'an coming in, Yang whispered and asked him to whisper. Wang Ping'an walked to the cradle and saw Xiao Taiping's face flushed and was sleeping soundly!

He asked in a low voice: "Have she cried just now?"

Yang said, "I didn't cry much. I just cried a few times, changed my diapers, fed some goat milk, and fell asleep again!"

Wang Youcai smiled and whispered: "This child is really easy to feed. You can drink it when you feed her milk. You are not picky at all. It's not like you were so picky when you were a child. You are quite picky now."

Wang Ping'an chuckled a few times and said, "It's enough to support it. By the way, the wet nurse has been found and has just finished giving birth. But I don't want to come here tonight and have to wait for dawn. I promised to give their family a hundred acres of fertile land. As long as we can feed our family's Xiaotaiping well, it doesn't matter if there is more!"

In normal times, when Yang heard that he gave a wet nurse a hundred acres of fertile land, he had to be angry. Whose wet nurse, such a valuable method, is he going to hire a wet nurse or hire her whole family and all her clan? But tonight she was not angry at all, but smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough. It's better to hire a few more, but don't let our family down!"

Wang Ping'an smiled twice, stretched out his fingers, gently shaved Xiao Taiping's face. Xiao Taiping nodded a few times, smacked his lips, shook his little head, and continued to sleep!

The three of the Wang family laughed together. This child is really lovely, lovely and pityful!

After watching Xiao Taiping for a while, Wang Ping'an left. Wang Youcai and Yang did not ask about Wu Meiniang anymore. Obviously, they didn't want to mention her anymore. They were already disgusted with that woman deep down!

When he returned to his room, Wang Ping'an lie down in his clothes. Today is the New Year. He has to get up early tomorrow. He came to flatter the people early in the morning for socializing. He also had to go to Li Ke's place in person to wish the unlucky prince New Year. Tomorrow is even more tiring than today!

After a short stay, he had nothing to say. The next morning, Wang Ping'an finished washing up and was about to go to the front, but Ding Danruo told him that Huang Xiaoya was coming and was waiting outside the yard. Wang Ping'an had no choice but to call in. It was probably that Wu Meiniang's letter had been written and asked him to send someone to Chang'an.

As expected, Huang Xiaoya asked Wang Ping'an to go there. In fact, Wang Ping'an is also a little disgusted with Wu Meiniang, but he is a later generation after all, and has some understanding of Wu Meiniang's affairs, so it is not like Yang and Wang Youcai, which is so unwilling to mention Wu Meiniang.

Wang Ping'an asked Huang Xiaoya to go back first. He sat in the room for a while and calmed down his emotions before getting up to see Wu Meiniang.

After entering Wu Meiniang's house, he sent Huang Xiaoya out. Seeing that Wu Meiniang's expression was OK, he recovered well, but his dark circles were heavier. Apart from that, he was not as haggard as he imagined. Except for his smaller belly, everything was as usual.

Wang Ping'an admired this woman quite well. She was really different from ordinary people. If someone else wanted to change her, she would not lie on the bed with a towel on her head. She was weak and even if she pretended, she had to pretend. She could be like her, just like something was not her!

Wu Meiniang sat at the table, opened a stack of papers, and said, "Uncle, this is a letter written by Meiniang to the prince. Meiniang thought about it. If it was all written by me myself, it would be bad. So this short one was written by Meiniang, and these long ones must be asked to copy them and send them out together, and secretly send them to Chang'an to the prince."

Wang Ping'an nodded. He took the so-called short one first and looked at it. He saw that the paper was wrinkled and some of the words on it were even more colorful. It seemed that tears were dripping on it, so the handwriting was so colorful. He sighed in his heart. Wu Meiniang was very capable of making fakes. If she was born in modern times, she could have made fake antiques. The fakes she made would definitely deceive a large group of people!

The words on the paper are intermittent, and the preface is inconsistent. It is like a person who is seriously ill, writing it randomly in a state of confusion. But it is commendable that there are not many children in this letter. It is just a brief mention of how much Wu Meiniang misses Li Zhi, but it focuses on how sad she is when she loses the child. And it only makes one request, which is to hope that Li Zhi will bury her and the child together and send the coffin to her ancestral home, Bingzhou, for burial.

Apart from that, there is not much to say!

Wang Ping'an shouted in his heart. The letter was written too much to capture Li Zhi's psychology. Judging from Li Zhi's personality, after reading this letter, he had to cry loudly. He could imagine that Li Zhi had a tearful look on his face, and he could also expect that Li Zhi had to take Wu Meiniang to his side. He would do it no matter how difficult it was. Of course, it was not Li Zhi himself who was doing the job, but he must be his first confidant... He said that he had difficulties and had no difficulties. He first created difficulties and then went!

After reading the text message, I read the long message again. After reading the long message, Wang Ping'an's scalp was numb. Okay, this long message was almost a thrilling short story. If it was translated into vernacular, it would cost at least tens of thousands of words and could be included in the Tang legend.

The long letter describes how difficult and thrilling Wu Meiniang was when giving birth, and how "heroic" Wang Ping'an herself was to rescue Wu Meiniang from the brink of death. It was written in Wang Ping'an's tone. She first boasted about herself, and then said that she was sorry for the prince, and the child was not saved!

Wang Ping'an sighed in his heart and then looked down. The latter part was about how she took care of Wu Meiniang, and how Wu Meiniang was weak. She kept calling the prince in a coma. After waking up, she didn't eat or drink. She was occasionally awake. She begged herself not to miss the prince and write a letter to tell the prince, so that the prince should not worry about her.

At the end of the letter, he wrote that the ministers dare not deceive the emperor and could only inform the truth. The prince would also ask the prince to decide on the follow-up matters!

After reading the letter, Wang Ping'an patted the papers and said with a bitter face: "My grandma, this is not a deception of the king, it is also a deception of the king. If the prince turns over the old debt in the future, your uncle, my head will not be on the neck!"

Wu Meiniang stood up and gave Wang Ping'an a blessing, saying, "As long as Meiniang is by the prince's side, how can the prince turn over the old tent today?"
Chapter completed!
