Records of the King of Xin'an County

The two sisters of the Wang family were unknown, and they were neither known nor led by elders, so the Yan family servant who passed the word inevitably looked down upon them.So, the maid only took them to pay a visit to Mrs. Gao from a distance, but did not come near.The expressions of the two sisters remained unchanged, they were still calm and well-founded, and after Wen Sheng finished his congratulatory speech, they did not show any timidity.Their performance was so outstanding that some of the noble ladies sitting aside began to discuss in a low voice.

"I don't know which family's young lady it is, but she teaches very well."

"Just now I vaguely heard that it is the Wang family? Taiyuan Wang family? Qi County Wang family? Or Langya Wang family?"

"We all know the branches of these three surnames in Beijing, but we have never seen them. They should not be born in the first class. Moreover, such a grand banquet came by itself. There should be no suitable elders in the family to bring it. Tsk, it's a pity, I just thought that my nephew, who is worthless, needs a lady who can persuade him..."

Hearing this, the group of noble ladies all showed expressions of regret.The so-called don't marry the eldest daughter of the bereaved mother, no matter how good the two sisters look, they can't match the tacit rules of the noble families.Moreover, who knows what kind of temperament this kind of little lady will have in private without the guidance of her elders?

At this moment, Princess Pu Yan, who had always had a calm expression, suddenly said: "So it's Luo Niang and Xiang Niang, come here." She raised her eyebrows, showing a gentle smile, as if seeing a close junior.Even if I saw my niece and niece just now, that's all.

Mrs. Gao and all the noble ladies couldn't help but look sideways, with unavoidable surprise in their eyes, and began to speculate on the background of these two young ladies.Especially Gao thought more, thinking of the plans of his daughters-in-law and the youngest daughter these years, and thinking of the indifferent look of the eldest daughter, his heart was extremely bitter.

"His Royal Highness." Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang stepped forward slowly, saluted and greeted her.

They had also paid homage to Yan Shi before, and seeing that she was willing to support them, they were naturally extremely grateful.I still remember that when they met for the first time, Yan Shi treated them only indifferently. Although they were a little nervous, they felt that the concubine's temperament was indeed very good.After all, if a dignified prince and concubine didn't feel close to each other, why should he get close to two young ladies from declining families?

Now that Yan Shi is willing to speak for them, it is probably because of the good relationship between Prince Xin'an and his brother - of course they will not know, if Wang Zixian and Li Hui are just friends, Yan Shi will definitely treat them better.

After Yan asked a few words, she ordered her servants to add two seats beside her, and put the Wang family sisters down.Seeing that she treated the two young ladies so amiably, the noble ladies couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, I don't know which young lady this is? Although I have never seen her before, she is outstanding in everything, whether it is her appearance or her words and deeds." Very much."

"The younger sisters of King Buque's family in Menxia Province." Yan Shi laughed, "Their elder brother has a good relationship with Xuan Qi, and once brought two younger sisters to greet me. Don't look at their young age, they are very knowledgeable. Parents Frail and sick, they all stayed in Shangzhou to recuperate, and the family business is supported by a few brothers and sisters, and the character is very rare."

"It turned out to be from Wang Buque's family. After Langya Wang's family, we were negligent." Who doesn't know who doesn't know about the first-ranked young man who was last year old?It's just that he didn't take this young man seriously before, and even many old foxes praised him in private after seeing him promoted to a close minister next to the saint within a few months.Leaving aside his youth and beauty, just the grace he received for his outstanding talent is enough to impress people.

Seeing that the eyes of many noble ladies light up slightly, Yan Shi smiled without saying a word.Although Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang were a little surprised, they remained calm.They naturally understand that the farther away the elder brother travels, the more people covet their marriage.However, the foundation of the Wang family is too shallow after all. Except for the elder brother, it is difficult for them to be seen by the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing.Perhaps, in the eyes of many noble ladies, it is a great gift to be able to tell them about the dude in the family.

It's a pity that they all know very well that family background and family background are all empty, and even being rich in economics is not important, only character is the most important thing.After all, with the embroidered pillow father Wang Chang and the second brother Wang Ziling who are not as good as animals, the two sisters have learned to keep their eyes open and understand what to see when looking at people.

The attention attracted by the sisters of the Wang family quickly subsided, and after a while, servants came to report the arrival of Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an.All the noble ladies stood up one after another, and only those with higher seniority sat in place.Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang quietly raised their eyes, and saw a delicate girl walking slowly leading a child.The nobility and arrogance emanating from her blood makes the girl look very different. It not only attracts people's attention, but also makes people want to submit to her involuntarily.

However, both sisters vaguely felt that this girl seemed somewhat familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere before.After they recovered, Yan Shi had handed them over to Princess Changning to take care of them.

Princess Changning smiled slightly with the corners of her lips curled up, and looked at the two faces that were quite similar to those of the teenagers in her memory: "Our elder brother is a close friend, and the temperament of the three of us should also match. Let me do it, I will take you to meet some good sisters."

Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang couldn't help but look at Yan Shi, and seeing her nod her head slightly, Fang left with Princess Changning in peace.

After walking out of the inner hall of the main courtyard, Princess Yong'an blinked and looked at the two little sisters, and suddenly said sweetly: "You are born not quite similar to the eldest brother of the Wang family, but similar to the third brother of the Wang family!"

"..." Wang Luoniang's heart moved slightly, "Your lord has also seen my younger brother?"

"He is a monk in Ci'en Temple." Princess Yong'an said with a smile, "Read scriptures for me." After Yuan Wu became a monk, she used to follow behind him curiously to see what he did all day long.It's a pity that Yuan Wu, who became a monk, is no better than Wang Zimu in the past, and he no longer smiles to coax her, but has become very boring.

"So that's how it is. He has left Ci'en Temple and Chang'an now." For some reason, Wang Luoniang felt a little lost, but Wang Xiangniang who was beside her was startled, and suddenly tugged at her sleeve forcefully.She stopped immediately, and was about to ask her what happened, when she heard a few laughing words from among the flowers next to her.The Chang'an official dialect with an inexplicable accent seemed to tear the memory of the two of them, and brought them back to the night at Yinchan Temple.

Princess Changning looked back, and saw that the blood on the faces of the two sisters had faded, she couldn't help but startled: "What? But you are not feeling well?"

"...I made your lord laugh...it's just that I suddenly heard an unfamiliar accent, and it reminded me of my servant when I was young." Wang Luoniang forced a smile.Wang Xiangniang also said: "I don't know where the maidservants in the flowers next to me come from. Are they from the same hometown as the wet nurse who took care of us when we were young?" They were all born in Shangzhou.

Princess Changning raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter, don't you know if you call them over and ask?" After finishing speaking, the corners of her lips curled up: "It's all trivial, come on, let me introduce you two." A friend who can come and go at will in the future."

She has lingered in many banquets for so many years, but she has only found a few trustworthy young ladies, which can be regarded as contacts she will need in the future.As for whether the Wang family sisters can join them, it still needs to be tested one or two times.However, after all, it is Prince Xian and "his" sister.If it is really not possible, she will relax some as appropriate.

At the same time, Yan Balang, who was entertaining guests, encountered a difficult problem.He thought for a moment, then turned back to Yan Lide's study, and said to Li Hui and the prince: "It's strange to say that some people want to see Xuan Qi, but they send people to birthday banquets to give gifts in a roundabout way, saying that they won't leave until they see the Prince of Xin'an. Xuan Qi, have you seen it or not?"

Yan Lide snorted softly, and was about to teach his cheap grandson not to get involved in the incident easily, when he heard him laughing: "Since the other party wants to see me, why not just meet me?"

"What's so good about hiding your head and showing your tail!" Yan Lide frowned and said, "Maybe you have some treacherous thoughts, why do you have to get involved in it, even if you don't think for yourself, but also for your mother Think about it, Grandpa." He was cautious by nature, so he was only a minister of the Ministry of Industry all his life.Even though he was a little cautious back then, he was frightened back by Emperor Taizong's move to abolish the crown prince and demote King Pu.Now the older I get, the more I want stability, so I naturally don't want to see my cheap grandson causing trouble.

"Grandfather don't worry, he's just going to see you." Li Hui said, "Zixian will go with the boy. Since his master is inconvenient to appear openly, he must have scruples. Not to mention scruples, maybe he can treat uncle Is it useful?" Now the remnants of King Peng's treason case are still under investigation, and due to the deliberate and slow progress, many of the courtiers involved in the case have voluntarily confessed in order to protect themselves.Could it be that some people dare not confess, so they plan to follow his path to beg for mercy?

"If there is any gain, the junior will directly report it to the saint." Prince Xian continued.

Although Yan Lide didn't care about matters outside the Ministry of Industry, as one of the former six ministers, he had also participated in various court discussions related to the conspiracy.Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, and finally let them go.However, Yan Balang and Yan Shiwulang, who were about to make a move, were forced to stay by him: "You two are not imperial officials, what are you doing?!"

Yan Balang felt very sad, and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa won't let us do this, and he won't let us do that, so what else can we do besides reading and painting? Xuan Qi and Zhi Yuan are younger than me, and both I have already entered the official position, and I..."

Yan Lide was stunned, thought for a moment, and said with a stern face: "You want to be an official? The old man's background can indeed make you an official. There is a shortage of people for the general prison. You follow them to build the Daming Palace, okay?"

"..." Yan Balang thought about Li Hui's Dalizheng and Zongzheng Shaoqing, Wang Zixian's county lieutenant, supervisory censor, and Zuo Buque, and thought about the Princess Mansion and the County King's Mansion under construction, although he felt sore , but still decisively said, "Yes, why not? Before building the Daming Palace, first build the Princess Mansion and the County Prince's Mansion to accumulate some experience!!"

Yan Shiwulang was stunned, and said righteously: "My child doesn't need the shadow of the door. In the future, I will become a scholar and become an official like my elder brother of the Wang family!"

"When it's your turn, I'm afraid there will be no shade at home." Yan Balang ruthlessly pierced his fantasy.Yan Lide laughed angrily when he heard the words, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

At this time, Li Hui and Wang Zixian came to a remote corner of the Yan family's outer courtyard, and met the servant who insisted on meeting the king of Xin'an County.This man was very thin and his appearance was unremarkable. After bowing to them, he lowered his voice and said: "A certain master asked, the king said that 'feng shui turns in turns', I don't know if it is possible to 'turn' around' now."

Li Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, with a half-smile: "Heh, how exactly does he want to 'turn'?"
