Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 492 Which Princess
Mrs. Changsun laughed and said: "Oh, look at the old man's mouth. Your uncle told the old man not to let the old man say it, but the old man still leaked it. It really shouldn't be!"

She was talking full of old age, but her face showed no sign of regret at all, instead she was triumphant, as if enjoying Wang Ping'an's surprised expression!
Wang Pingan was dumbfounded and said, "What does that son-in-law mean?" Of course he knew that the northerners called their son-in-law uncle, but this was the Tang Dynasty. The name, of course he wants to ask!
Mrs. Changsun still smiled and said: "Did I say my uncle? You must have heard wrong, and I didn't say anything!" While talking, she straightened the golden crown for Wang Ping'an, and said: "When you enter the palace, you don't want to see me. Just kneel down personally, not everyone in the palace can stand your bow, you have to hold on to airs. Your eyes should be like this, you look at the old body... oh, you just look at people like your uncle usually does Don’t think that the people in the palace are so great, don’t try to curry favor with them, they will curry favor with you!”

Wang Ping'an was a little confused, and said, "Uncle's usual eyes?"

Mrs. Changsun exclaimed, and said: "That's it!" As she spoke, she imitated Changsun Wuji's appearance, keeping her eyes on the front and never looking to either side. , but like ants, turn a blind eye!
Wang Pingan blinked and said, "Is it true that I only have eyes for you?"

Mrs. Changsun was overjoyed, and clapped her hands and said: "Oh, my good nephew, you are really smart. You can explain things that the old man can't explain clearly. That's right, that's what I want to do. You are the only one in my eyes. it is good!"

She pushed Wang Ping'an and said: "Go, go out and show your uncle, let him show you two tricks, don't lose your manners tonight, even if it's normal, but absolutely not tonight!"

Mrs. Changsun pulled Wang Ping'an to the front hall. Changsun Wuji was sitting in the hall with a thick stack of gift lists in front of the table. He was looking at the gift list, shaking his head as he read it, as if he didn't want to accept these gifts.

"Master, take a look at your good nephew!" Mrs. Changsun said with a smile.

Changsun Wuji raised his head with a smile on his face, looked at Wang Ping'an's appearance, and said with a smile: "It's not too bad, very good, very good!" He raised his hand and stroked his beard.Looking at his appearance, he actually enjoyed Wang Ping'an's bewildered expression.

Wang Pingan said: "Uncle Changsun, why did my nephew enter the palace dressed like this? Why don't you wear official uniforms?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It's not a big banquet at the court, why do you have to wear official clothes. Keeping the old age is a family thing, so naturally you have to wear casual clothes!"

After humming, he said again: "Come here, prepare some rewards for my nephew and young master. You will reward others after you enter the palace, don't be petty, of course you are not a petty person!" The last sentence was said to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an stood in the hall at a loss, thinking: "Why is this a bit like a son-in-law going to see his father-in-law, but I'm not a son-in-law either!"

The servants prepared a small bag of copper coins, all of which were newly made copper coins, shining golden and beautiful, and asked Wang Pingan to carry them in his arms and keep them for others to use in the palace.

When everything was ready, Changsun Wuji ordered his horses to be prepared, and said to Wang Ping'an, "You have to ride a horse today, don't take a car. Well, it's best to run on the road. When you enter the palace, you will sweat a little and your face will be flushed. Then You are only likable, and you can also show a man's spirit, you are a man who has led the army, don't look sick, let people look down on you!"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Yes, my nephew will definitely run!" He didn't know what to say, he just kept saying yes.

Changsun Wuji personally sent Wang Pingan out, and there was a long line of people sitting outside the prime minister's mansion, all of whom came to flatter and give gifts, definitely more than 1000 people.

When the gift-givers outside saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming out, they stood up together and flattered and shouted: "Master grandson, I wish you a happy new year." When they saw that Wang Ping'an had also come out together, they shouted again: "My lord, alas! Your old man is here too! Prince, happy Chinese New Year!"

My old man, when did I get this title!Wang Pingan turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji, hey, Mrs. Changsun's eyes imitated just now, and now it is undoubtedly revealed on Changsun Wuji's face.

I only have eyes for you, and everyone else is an ant!
Changsun Wuji didn't even glance at these sycophants, he just looked at Wang Ping'an without squinting!Changsun Wuji asked Wang Pingan to ride a fine horse, and this horse was also red, a big red horse!
After receiving the cage from the servant, Changsun Wuji handed the wild goose cage to Wang Ping'an, and said, "Take it, you have to hold the pair of wild geese yourself and hand them over to the emperor. You can't let go halfway, even when you kneel down. You can't put the cage on the ground... well, you don't need to pay attention to this, Shi Zhongchen will tell you what to do."

Wang Pingan took the wild goose cage and said in a daze, "Then, my nephew is gone!"

"Go, go!" Changsun Wuji waved goodbye to him, and suddenly said: "Don't just kneel when you see people, some people can't stand your big gift!"

Wang Pingan turned around and answered, thinking: "Of course I don't kneel when I see people. I don't need to tell you this. Why both of them have to say it again."

The people waiting for their flatterers in the alley, seeing Wang Ping'an dressed up like this and carrying a goose cage, all smiled, cupped their hands at him, and called out to Wang Gong!

After leaving the alley, Wang Pingan turned to the main road, and before he had gone far, he saw several people running by the side of the road, they were actually Di Renjie and Ouyang Li.

Di Renjie blushed from the cold, and shouted, "Brother, why did you come out? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wang Ping'an reined in the big red horse and said, "Hey, why are you here?"

Di Renjie said: "We have been waiting for you for a long time since we returned to Lingling Temple. Seeing that you have not come back, we came out to inquire and found out that you have come to the mansion of Lord Changsun, but we couldn't enter the mansion, so we had to wait here. is you."

He looked at Wang Ping'an's attire and the goose cage in his hand in surprise, and said, "Brother, are you going to ask for marriage? Are you going to ask for marriage in person? You don't need a matchmaker? Who do you want to ask for marriage? Why didn't I know?" Heard you say it?"

Wang Ping'an was even more shocked. He jumped off the horse, pulled Di Renjie aside, and said, "What? I went to ask for marriage. How did I become one?"

Di Renjie opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, and he said after a while, "Didn't the eldest brother go to ask for marriage? Then why are you carrying the wild goose cage? Gifts like wild geese are not given casually, but only when they are asking for marriage!"

Did the Tang Dynasty have this kind of attention?Wang Pingan never knew it before!He picked up the wild goose cage and looked at it, and said, "Isn't the purpose of sending the wild geese to beg for marriage?"

Di Renjie thought to himself: "No way, brother, you are very knowledgeable, how come you don't even know this custom?" He pointed to the wild goose in the cage and said: "We serve birds and goose with deerskin! This is a man When you propose to a woman, it’s one of the dowry gifts, and it’s the first gift...but without the deerskin, it will appear insincere, who are you going to?”

Wang Pingan said with tongue-tied words: "I, I'm going to the emperor's house! Director Shi asked me to take the wild geese there, and Master Changsun personally prepared it for me. How could this be a marriage proposal? Who am I to propose marriage to, no? Are you going to watch the old age?"

"The emperor asked you to go to the palace to watch the new year with him, and bring a pair of wild geese there?" Di Renjie was overjoyed, regardless that he was on the street, and shouted: "Brother, you are going to be a son-in-law. Which princess is it?"

Wang Ping'an almost fell to the ground, he said: "I, I don't know, I don't even know that I'm going to ask for marriage!" He swayed, Ouyang Li and the others rushed forward and supported him.

Regardless of what Wang Pingan said, Ouyang Li and the others said in unison: "Master, are you going to be a son-in-law?"

Wang Ping'an said blankly: "I'm going to be a son-in-law? Why don't I know about this myself!" He repeated what the eldest grandson and his wife had said to him.

Di Renjie thought for a while, and said: "So that's the case, no wonder I didn't let the elder brother bring the buckskin. It seems that the emperor wanted to recruit you as a son-in-law, but he didn't explain which princess it was. Maybe someone disagreed... Not necessarily Some people disagree, but I want the princess to see you for herself, so as long as you take the geese and don't let you bring the buckskin, in case the princess doesn't like you, there is room for maneuver!"

Ouyang Li and the others were overjoyed, but they said from the side: "Master Changsun prepared a reward for the master? Only copper coins, I'm afraid it's too small. The subordinates brought gold melon seeds, master, you bring them!"

As they talked, each of them took out a bag from their pockets, and some even took out two, which were full of golden melon seeds.

Wang Ping'an said, "Why do you all carry so much gold with you?"

Ouyang Li smiled and said: "It's Chinese New Year, isn't this prepared for the master, we will reward you as soon as you wave your hand, I don't want the gold to be used in the palace!"

"Take it, wrap it in red paper!" Wang Ping'an's head was like a paste, but he ordered mechanically.

Ouyang Li and the others hurried away to find the red paper. It is the Chinese New Year period, and there are plenty of red papers, and most shops have them ready.

Di Renjie was still analyzing, he is best at analyzing, and said: "Brother, marriage matters are always decided by parents, even ordinary people are like this, let alone the royal family. Since the emperor intends to recruit you to be a son-in-law, he also wants the princess to see it." You, instead of directly referring to the marriage, it means that the emperor loves that princess very much! Which princess is the emperor's favorite? Isn't it straightforward to guess who it is?"

Wang Ping'an murmured: "Which princess is the most favored? Could it be Princess Gaoyang...ah, she is already married and has Fang Yiai as the son-in-law, so it must not be her. So, then... who is it?" He already thought of who it was, but he didn't say it.

Di Renjie didn't know much about the royal family, but he had enough brains, and blurted out: "Brother, you came out from the eldest grandson's house, and he prepared all the clothes and gifts. No matter how much he likes you, he won't treat you like this." Be close. It can only be related to him, could it be the daughter of Empress Changsun?"
