Chapter 232 pretend to be confused
Xiao Qi was so limp that she had to support her to walk. It was her limit to support Wang Kuang out of the room. Wang Kuang had only walked a few steps away, and she softly rested her head on the little lady's back and refused to walk any more. The little lady chuckled and said, "Now, you will be honest in the future."
"Isn't this a happy maid? Every time I have a good time with my husband, I feel very satisfied. Are you not satisfied, little lady?" Xiao Qi raised her face, sniffed at the little lady's ear, and said in a slight voice.
The little lady's face turned red and said: "It's shameless. It seems that the lesson is not enough. Let your husband teach you a lesson in the evening." [bsp; "As long as your husband is willing, I will be happy no matter how tired my maid is, especially whenever I hit the last moment, my husband will hit me, and the maid will feel that she has died once, and then wake up and dies again. That feels very wonderful. Isn't the little lady so happy?" Xiao Qi murmured. She is still young and does not have many concerns like the little lady. In addition, there is no one around at present, so she speaks without any restraint.
As he spoke, there was no sound. When the little lady turned around, she fell asleep again. When she recalled Xiaoqi's words, the little lady's heart suddenly filled with sweetness and began to ripple, like a pool of warm water shaking in her heart. Although she was weak, she still gradually became hot again. She was a little looking forward to the evening.
When Wang Kuang came to the main hall, he saw a short and fat young man in a garment sitting there drinking tea leisurely. When he saw Wang Kuang coming, the short and fat man stood up and smiled and said, "Xuan Delang made Jianzhou very lively. Xiao Wang was envious and wanted to leave the country."
Damn, it turns out it was Fatty Li. Why did this kid come to Jian'an? Fatty Li has newly appointed King Yue, and his fief is in Kuaiji, the former Fujian-yue Kingdom. It is not far from Jian'an, so it's just a long way to go to Xujiang.
Li Laoer was very tolerant of his children. Logically, when he was granted a king, he should go to his fiefdom when he became an adult, which was called a country. However, Li Laoer turned against the practice of the former Sui Dynasty and allowed these children who had a king to continue to stay in Chang'an and stay by his side. Wang Kuang guessed that there was probably such a meaning of being nearby for surveillance, but in the eyes of the world, this was the emperor's kindness.
Fatty Li was obviously trying to get closer. Wang Kuang dared to make a promise. This little fat man must have observed himself from a distance in Chang'an, otherwise he would not have recognized him for the first time. Wang Kuang did not wear official uniforms today, but was wearing ordinary casual clothes, made of linen cloth. It seemed very comfortable to Wang Kuang, but in the eyes of Tang Shiren, there was no family member dressed well. If a member of the Wang family was called to stand with Wang Kuang at this time, he would easily be mistaken for the family as the master and Wang Kuang's servant.
"Oh, it turns out that it is Your Highness King Yue. Kuang is far away from greeting, and he is tired of his highness for a long time. These guys are spoiled by Kuang on weekdays, and I don't know how to urge him to be guilty." Wang Kuang bowed to the end, and before Fatty Li could come to help, he got up and turned his head to shout at the family standing there: "I don't have any eyesight to see you. The distinguished guest has come. I don't even report it for a long time. I will punish you to go to the kitchen to help."
The family responded in fear and retreated. When they left the main hall, they looked secretly happy and went to the kitchen to help. It was a blessing that Erlangjun could come up with the idea of "punishment". In the eyes of outsiders, it was a punishment to go to the kitchen to help, but in the Wang family, when you say you go to the kitchen to help, it would be a reward, which means you did a good job, but in front of outsiders, you still have to give this little face to the guests, so you said it was a punishment.
In the Wang family, as long as Wang Kuang told his family to go to the kitchen to help, that is, those who were "punished" could go to the kitchen and order whatever they wanted. The kitchen would definitely make it for you, but it would not make it. If there was no ingredients, they would also bring it to Fulai Inn to give you a good meal. Moreover, the wine in Xinghua Village is enough.
Fatty Li didn't know the secret here. He really thought that the family was punished, so he smiled and said, "It's not a fault for him. Xiao Wang didn't report his family. No wonder, no wonder."
"How can you not be punished? It's really not big or small, and there's no rules." Wang Kuang said seriously and asked again: "I wonder what Your Highness is coming this time? Why did you have this kind of ambition to go to such a remote place as Jian'an?"
"Didn't Xiao Wang just sealed the land? He turned to see his own acre of three-point land. He also heard that Jian'an was going to hold a food competition in the world. He turned to it so close. Besides, Xuan Delang has made great contributions to the country, and his father often talked about it, saying that he was worried about Xuan Delang's illness. Since Xiao Wang came, he always wanted to come and visit him, so that he could share his worries for his father." Afterwards, he slapped his hands and said, "Come on."
Two people dressed in the entourage came in outside the hall, raised a box that was thigh-high, gently placed it in front of the hall, and bowed down.
Damn, Fatty Li is quite a show of the show. His subordinates just hid outside the hall and didn't notice it. Moreover, although the two of them were carrying the box without any effort, the soft muffled sound when they landed on the ground and the slight vibration felt under their feet showed that the things inside were of great weight.
I’m afraid there are two or three thousand taels of yellow and white things? If you hold such a box to death, you can only bear a hundred kilograms, one kilogram and sixteen kilograms, two thousand kilograms are more than one hundred kilograms. As for whether it is gold or silver, the value is more than ten times smaller.
The fat Li Tai stepped forward and opened the box, saying as if he was talking to himself: "I know that Xuan Delang likes some novel things, but Xiao Wang didn't have it for a while. It just so happened that the silk that his father rewarded him before the New Year was still there. The climate in Jian'an was pleasant, so he would wear clothes when he made them. So he brought it to Xuan Delang and expressed his feelings. Don't dislike Xuan Delang."
He bent down again, picked up a brocade box and said, "I know that Xuan Delang is sick, Xiao Wang specially asked someone to collect an old ginseng from Liaodong, hoping it would be useful. Only this old ginseng is more expensive, but Xuan Delang deserves it." After that, he handed the brocade box and a gift list to Wang Kuang.
Wang Kuang took it and squinted his eyes and looked at the gift list. It was indeed only written in a box of silk and a ginseng tree. He quickly counted the ginseng stems in his heart. This is probably an old ginseng that has been nearly a hundred years old. It is very simple to judge the year of ginseng. Just look at how many ginseng are on the ginseng, and then add three. For example, there are four ginseng, which is seven-year ginseng, and seven ginseng is ten-year ginseng. As the age of ginseng grows, the spacing between the ginseng near the bottom will become very small, and the ginseng will fade a little, but you can still recognize it after careful observation. Because no matter how it fades, the ginseng scars grow one year, one left and one right alternately, so the ginseng stems will also be jagged. One tooth is a dent. It is roughly correct to judge this.
The thousand-year-old ginseng does not exist or not. Wang Kuang has never seen it, so it is hard to say, but if the ginseng really grows for a thousand years, the length of its pedicel is probably more than three or four feet long. People who drive ginseng will never remove the pedicel, especially the older the age, the more they refuse to remove it. This is an important basis for judging the age of ginseng. Without pedicels, the year cannot be judged from the appearance. Similarly, medicinal materials vendors are unwilling to go there. If someone takes a pedicel tree and says that it has been so many years, it can basically be concluded that it is a scam.
If someone else says that the samsara peels off, it is a lie. The samsara is strong and is very tightly combined with the samsara body. Unless it is broken hard or removed with a knife and cut, it will not fall off naturally.
The ginseng stem in front of me is about two inches long. Wang Kuang only counts a distance of about one centimeter in the middle part, with more than a dozen knots, multiplied by six or seven, which is about a hundred years. The distance between knots in the middle part is roughly the average number of all knots, which can be calculated briefly.
Fatty Li is really nonsense. In Chang'an, Xu Guoxu, a foodie, went to the warehouse to identify it according to the method taught by Wang Kuang. He said that there are many old ginsengs in the warehouse that have been in and out of the warehouse frequently. There are always a few trees entering and leaving the warehouse every year, and there are also a few trees leaving the warehouse. Li Laoer often encounters ministers who are unwell and will give one. Xu wants to learn this method of identifying it, but he just wants to do things that are favored by one or the other. He will choose those who are good to a certain family, and those who are cold to a certain family will choose those who are less years old. Anyway, the power is in his hands.
Wang Kuang recognized this ginseng, which was clearly from Curry. It was marked by Foodie Xu, and tied three red ropes. When Foodie Xu learned the method of identification, in order to prevent the emperor from being around him, it was difficult to pick, so he picked the ones that were ready to make marks in advance. The one with the most age was only one red rope, the second was two, and the worst was three.
This is also the slippery point of foodie Xu. The ideas of ordinary people are basically important things, and they are tied more solemnly. Foodie Xu is the opposite. Only when they have a good relationship can they know that it is best to tie a red rope. Others only see that the one handed him two or three tied, thinking it is good, but they still secretly praise foodie Xu without selfishness.
Wang Kuang used to play this trick when he was in sales. When important customers and unimportant customers came together, they handed them better gifts to non-important customers. The important customers were gifts that were not well-packed. The appearance and inside were actually the opposite. Wang Kuang still remembered that one time, because he wanted to give gifts temporarily, he could only go out to buy them temporarily. As a result, the important customer who received the gift was very unhappy because the packaging of the gift was too gorgeous and thought that there was garbage inside. He shook his face on the spot. He didn't want to unpack the packaging after going back, and then called Wang Kuang to express his tactful apology.
Xu's slippery head has a lot to do with him spending these years in the palace, so he often sighed that Xiao Liuzi had good luck and entered the palace at a young age. Because he was young, he was loved by many people as soon as he entered the palace, and he did not develop that kind of cunning and basically maintained his duty. Unlike him, he entered the palace at an age and was excluded as soon as he entered the palace.
Wang Kuang thanked him repeatedly, but began to be wary of him. What was the intention of Fatty Li? He ran from afar and said he was sending silk, but in fact he didn't know if he was sending gold or silver. He took the ginseng in the palace warehouse and said that he had specially collected it from Liaodong, which seemed to be full of enthusiasm.
As his mind flipped, Wang Kuang suddenly shuddered, "Damn, I'm going to stage the scene of Shen Zaizhai giving Liu Luoguo, right?" The yellow and white things under this box must have the mark of the treasury, but the gold and silver rewarded by Li Laoer to Wang Kuang are recorded.
As long as the things in this box exceed those rewarded by Li Laoer, when Wang Kuang took them down, he sent someone to the Censorate to leave the head, and casually said how Wang Kuang and Foodie Xu colluded. Once the above investigated, Wang Kuang was speechless. Then Fatty Li jumped out and sold them to Wang Kuang. He said that the gold was placed in the box with silk on it. He didn't know that there was gold below, so he gave it to Wang Kuang Yunyun. In this way, the gold could be recovered legitimately because it was the wrong one. Moreover, Wang Kuang would be grateful to him, and at least he would owe him a big favor.
This is based on a premise, that is, Wang Kuang didn't look at it, and then he ordered his family to carry it down. Then his family thought that his husband had already known it, so he would not report it, but just put it in the warehouse. In this way, these marked yellow and white things would be placed in the warehouse of the Wang family. After the investigation was made from above, Wang Kuang probably didn't know what to look for, so the number of yellow and white things was gone.
This is usually done by people to accept gifts and will not be checked in person. However, Wang Kuang, the otaku who wears them, has been dealing with foreigners all year round, and it has become natural to open the gifts in person. For Wang Kuang, there is nothing wrong with opening the gifts in person, and there is no stiff movement. He naturally went forward, grabbed the square-folded silk on it, and said "ah".
Fatty Li was about to say goodbye and leave after handing over the gift list, but he didn't expect that Wang Kuang would check the things in the box in front of him. His face immediately became unnatural, and Wang Kuang was all staring in his eyes.
"Oh, Your Highness is really kind. You know that Jianzhou is going to build a large school and recruit poor families to study. They lack silver. They sent it in time and are still unknown. This is the style of ancient sages. You admire him very much." Wang Kuang did not wait for Fatty Li to speak, and shouted inside: "Come here, let's send His Highness the King of Yue to the Jianzhou School... Uh, Your Highness, how many taels are there?"
"Two thousand taels." Fatty Li answered, probably because he had said this number several times in his mind.
"Take these two thousand taels of gold to the prefecture yamen and report to the envoy to know that, and said that His Highness, King Yue, was pleased to hear that Jianzhou wanted to build a school and accommodate poor children to school. His Highness, King Yue, inherited His Majesty's compassion for the people, and specially sent 2 thousand taels of gold to make use of it." Wang Kuang glanced at the gate and spoke a lot of words.
"This, this is not..." Fatty Li was a little panicked. Two thousand taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver, which is 20,000 taels of silver. If he was based on the exchange rate of the black market, it would be worth nearly 30,000 taels. It was wasted? It didn't sound like that? He had just returned from the fiefdom and had known that all the taxes on his fiefdom were added together. It had not been so much in three years. Even if he included all the industries he had in public and secret, his annual income was not 30,000 taels. I feel sorry.
"Ah, I didn't expect that Brother Wang was so kind-hearted and cared about the people of Jianzhou. When the father knew about it, he would be happy." As he spoke, a person walked into the hall. Who would it be if it were Li Ke?
Fatty Li's face turned red and white, and he was secretly annoyed. His calculations were lost this time and he became resentful to Wang Kuang. He was not stupid. Of course, he could see that Wang Kuang did it on purpose. But now, Wang Kuang is the object he really must win over, and he has pulled Wang Kuang over. Then several dukes are one step closer to him. If they deal with Wang Kuang, they will probably push the dukes behind Wang Kuang over. This is not what he wants to see.
But after thinking about it, his heart was revitalized again. Although he did not achieve his goal this time, it was not ineffective. Didn’t he start to attack Jian’an because of several visits to the Lin family? It was just that he had no evidence, and this private fight could not be placed on the table. Even his confidant could not say it, let alone Xuan Delang, who had not yet stood on his side?
The two thousand taels of gold were sent out this time, and the expected effect was not, but it can be guaranteed that after listening to it, he would definitely hate Wang Erlang even more, thinking that he had cross-linked with Wang Erlang. At that time, find an appropriate opportunity and hint. It is estimated that Wang Erlang will stand on his side because of hatred. Although it is a little twists and turns, the effect is also there, and the prospect is still quite bright.
Wang Erlang, let you jump for a few more years. After the overall situation is decided, it will not be too late to deal with you slowly. At that time, you, Wang Erlang, will still let yourself rub it, just be round and square. If you really annoy Xiao Wang, you will treat you as a rabbit.
Tang Shi adhered to the customs of Jin and was also popular with male style. Wang Kuang didn't know that the fat Li Tai was thinking so dirty, but he knew that this fat Li Tai must have been offended by him this time, but offended him would have offended him. Wang Kuang really didn't care much about a grasshopper who couldn't dance for a few years. He had no other power to control himself except a king. Unlike the other, he could also take the position of a state-controlled man when Li Lao Er was traveling and attacked him.
Since the matter was irreversible, Fatty Li simply slapped his face and said with a forced smile: "I just heard from the fiefdom that Jianzhou wanted to build a school. I was determined to report to my father's decision. After a few days, the children would have to study but they could not delay it, so they took the initiative to send it to my father. If the father must blame him, then the money would be given to me." This guy, at the end of the day, was still thinking about recovering the cost.
Li Ke bowed to the fat man with a serious robe: "Brother Wang, please rest assured. With a brother as a proof, my father is only happy. I'm afraid it's too late to praise him. Ke respects his brothers once on behalf of each of his brothers and sets a good benchmark for his brothers."
Fatty Li didn't dare to stay too long, and he didn't have time to find out what happened to Li Ke coming to find Wang Kuang. He really couldn't take a look at Huang Cancan, and the more he looked, the more he felt uncomfortable, so he found an excuse to say goodbye and leave.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Kuang bowed to Li Ke with a smile.
"What's going on with Xiao Wang? Xiao Wang just happened to meet him. I want to thank him, but Xiao Wang wants to thank him." Li Ke said.
"Oh? There is someone in Jian'an who wants to thank him?" Wang Kuang was confused and he could not admit that he said that. It was broad daylight and his family was there. Huang Da had not come back yet, so he probably stared at one of Li Ke's entourages, because Wang Kuang saw that Li Ke only brought the eunuch who was half-aged to come over today. Huang Da was not here, so Wang Kuang could not confirm whether he would have heard of the walls. He didn't have that skill.
Chapter completed!
