Chapter 610

Huang Xiaoya groaned, feeling aggrieved, and said: "I'm not going to serve the Elder Master, how can I serve a servant girl, why should Yang Chunhua be my lady?"

"It's just the old lady's order!" Ouyang Li stared, and said again: "Looking at your clumsiness, I don't know if you can serve Miss Yang well. This is your contract as a girl. You can press your fingerprint!" He took out a contract, the ink was still wet, it was obvious that it had just been written.

Huang Xiaoya felt disappointed so she didn't mention it. After a long time, she was actually serving as a maid... No, it should be serving as a maid for a maid, it's better to serve a maid!

Aggrieved, she pressed her handprint on the contract, and said, "Actually, I am very capable of work, and it is most suitable to serve the old man. Besides, that Yang Chunhua's child is about to be born, so how old are you? Can I call you Miss!"

Ouyang Li put away the contract and said with a smile: "The master sentenced her to be free. It's not that simple. She doesn't have a husband, so why not call her Miss?" Say it right!"

Ouyang Ba stood behind him, and laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right!" A few days ago, he was the one who pretended to be Wu Meiniang's husband and beat up the prodigal son, but now his appearance has completely changed, and he has become a heroic man. The vigorous young general has a completely different accent. If you want to recognize him as the "Mei Evil", unless others have the piercing eyes of Monkey King.

When Ouyang Ba was doing evil back then, Huang Xiaoya was not in a hurry to hide, she never approached her, she hid away at that time, now she was asked to recognize someone, of course she couldn't recognize him, she didn't even feel familiar .

Huang Xiaoya's mind is not on Yang Chunhua, she is still desperately seizing the opportunity, trying to sell herself, saying: "I'm really capable of working, I'm diligent, let me serve the old man!"

Ouyang Li ignored her, turned around and left.But Ouyang Ba said: "Give it back to me, you are going to call yourself a slave now. Do you want to serve the master? Hey, look over there and see who is there?" As he said, he pointed at the main hall, where the Wang family The couple were talking, but Wang Ping'an was not there. There were two little girls waiting in the hall.

Huang Xiaoya said: "There are an old man, an old lady, and two young ladies, a total of four people."

Ouyang Ba smiled and said: "It's good at counting, you can tell three and four. Those two are not young ladies, they are the maids who serve the master. It's up to you, let's serve Yang Chunhua, this is all flattering you!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Huang Xiaoya looked at Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu in the hall as if struck by lightning.Could these two be maids?They are more young ladies than the young ladies in Gyeongju!

When the temple fair was held in Gyeongju City, she and her mother and sister went all the way to join in the fun. They saw a lady from a rich family, and heard her mother talk about the scenery of her house before, but no matter what she saw No matter how many young ladies I have lived in, no matter how beautiful her family was before, everything is added together, and it is not as good as those two maids in the house!
Standing blankly at the door of the room, Huang Xiaoya didn't move. She was still full of excitement. When she can be a maid to the extent that she can be in the house, when can she be like that?

In the wing room, there were no lights in the room. Wang Ping'an and Wu Meiniang stood in the darkness, talking in a low voice.

Wang Pingan said: "Chunhua, that's what I'll call you from now on. After entering the city, I plan to arrange for you to live outside the governor's mansion and let you be a laundry woman. What do you think?"

Laundry women are servants who specialize in washing clothes for their masters. They are the lowest and the hardest, but the advantage is that they can avoid contact with others. They are so busy all day long that they have no time to contact people, and others will not pay attention to a washer woman. of.

Wu Meiniang hummed lightly, and said: "If there is any work, I can let that little girl Huang do it. This girl is very smart and powerful. This kind of person is the best to use!"

Wang Pingan chuckled, Wu Meiniang is the best at taking advantage of other people's weaknesses, that Huang Xiaoya may not have a better life in the future.He said: "Okay, I will let someone take good care of you. The matter has been settled now, so you can rest assured from now on!"

There was silence in the room for a while, Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "Uncle, is it really a boy I'm pregnant with? If it's a daughter, it would be terrible, the crown prince may not recognize it!"

Wang Pingan didn't even think about it, and said bluntly: "It must be a boy, there is no doubt about it. If you are worried that it is a girl, that's okay, I will raise it after birth. Don't worry, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, the prince will recognize it. know him best."

Wu Meiniang said again: "I'm afraid that he will forget our wives, there are so many women in the palace, all of them are younger and more beautiful than me, how can the crown prince remember me!"

Wang Pingan said: "I will remind him all the time, so you can relax! Also, don't think about these things all day long. Why worry about things that haven't happened yet? If you worry all day, it will be bad for your child." of!"

Wu Meiniang said oh, she really didn't dare to sigh anymore, she was afraid that something would happen to the child, and her happy life for the rest of her life depended on the child in her womb!
Wang Pingan said: "You go back, so you can rest well, we will enter the city tomorrow."

Wu Meiniang gave him a blessing, opened the door and looked out, then went out and went back to her room.When she got to the door of her room, she saw Huang Xiaoya standing outside the door blankly, she said: "Madam sent someone to inform you, you have to continue to call Huang Xiaoya, and you will serve me from now on!" Said Then, she entered the room.

Only then did Huang Xiaoya come back to her senses, followed her in with her head down, and said in a low voice, "Miss... Oh, can I call you Miss instead of Aunt Yang, okay?"

Wu Meiniang glanced at her and said with a smile: "Okay, then call me Aunt Yang. You will come to the city with me tomorrow, and you will live in the city from now on. Go back and say goodbye to your parents. You don't have to wait on me tonight!"

Huang Xiaoya thought for a while, and then asked: "Aunt Yang, if I serve you well, will you tell the old lady to transfer me to serve the old man?"

Wu Meiniang smiled softly, and said: "Yes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Naturally, I hope you can become a big maid. You can learn more from the two maids of the big master."

Huang Xiaoya was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Yang, then I'll go back and pack up, and we'll go on the road together tomorrow." After speaking, she ran out of the room.

When she came to the yard, she looked at the main hall again, and saw that the old man and his wife had left, but the two maids who looked like young ladies did not. One was flipping through a book, while the other was sitting under a candle. , fiddling with the jade bracelet on his hand!
Huang Xiaoya immediately set a great ambition in her heart, she must become an outstanding maid, just like the two in the hall.She was envious for a while, and then returned to her yard.But I couldn't bear it in my heart, I wondered, I didn't recognize those two maids, I thought they were young ladies, why did Aunt Yang recognize them?Could it be that she is not an idiot, or is she really from a rich family?

The most important thing to come to Gyeongju was done, Wang Ping'an's family felt relieved, went to bed and had nothing to say all night.

The next morning, Huang Xiaoya came to find Wu Meiniang with a small package, and the two set off with the Wang family's brigade to Qingzhou.

In terms of the prosperity of Gyeongju, it cannot be compared with the Gyeonggi area, not even Xuzhou, and there is no place name Gyeongju in modern times, but there is one in the Korean peninsula.

From foreign countries to Chang'an, Qingzhou is not the only way to pass. Hu people from the western regions often take the line of Lanzhou, while Hu people from the east often take the line of Jinzhou, and Qingzhou is neither east nor east. It does not rely on the west, so in this era, commerce is not developed, and there is no business and no life. Relatively speaking, this place is relatively poor.

The Tang Dynasty did not calculate the vertical distance, but only calculated the distance according to the road repaired. It is not very far from Qingzhou to Chang'an. The vertical distance must not be a thousand miles, but if you want to go around, you have to go After half a month, if this is in the late Tang Dynasty, after the road construction in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the road distance will be shorter again, at least there is no need to go around!

If an area is underdeveloped, you can guess it by looking at the roads. The road from Chang'an to Gyeongju takes a long detour, which in itself shows that Gyeongju is not a prosperous place.

Wang Ping'an and his party rode horses and drove faster. After noon, they could already see the city wall of Gyeongju from a distance and arrived at the place.

In the direction of Qingzhou, a fast horse galloped towards, and immediately there was a school captain, who rushed to the front, the school captain got off his horse and saluted, and asked: "The last general dares to ask you, are you Wang Gong, Lord Di and Lord Qiu?"

Ouyang Li jumped out and said with a smile, "Lieutenant Chen, why don't you recognize this general?"

Chen Xiaowei is just an officer of the county soldiers, and he is incomparable with Ouyang Li, a general of the Weifu. When he saw Ouyang Li, he immediately smiled and said: "General Ouyang, you are here too! I don't know who It's a prince, the last general is polite!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed to the ground.After kowtowing to Wang Ping'an, he kowtowed to Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan, none of them dared to let go.As the saying goes, the emperor and the courtiers are the same in the local area. After the governor and county magistrate are changed, it is still a matter of whether he will continue to be the captain of the county soldier. Can he not be in a hurry to curry favor!

Ouyang Li came to Gyeongju a long time ago, and almost completed all the formalities. He just waited for the seal to be received safely. Even if he officially took office, he had met this Captain Chen.

Ouyang pointed at the front with the whip, and said, "Is Ji Shishi coming out to greet you?"

Chen Xiaowei hurriedly said: "Yes, it is Ji Jishi who brought the officials of the whole state to welcome the prince and your lords. According to the regulations of the court, the handover of seals only needs to be done in the governor's mansion, but Ji lord has heard the name of the prince for a long time. , so I made an exception to greet them three miles away, set up a colorful shed, and waited in front of them!"

Ouyang Li waved his hand imposingly and said, "Lead the way!"

Chen Xiaowei got on his horse immediately and trotted down the main road. He didn't need to lead any way to get here. He just ran back and told Ji Cishi that Wang Ping'an had arrived!
After walking a short distance, I heard the sound of gongs and drums. Hundreds of people came forward with beating gongs and drums. There was a large group of officials in green clothes led by an old official with a white beard. Behind the officials were the common people. Either local elders, or prominent figures in Gyeongju, the big businessman Kim Sam-cheon is among them.

Jin Sanquan has been favored by Wang Ping'an, but he can't greet him in advance. He can't surpass the local governor, even if he is about to step down, he can't surpass him. An official is an official, and the people are the people. You have to be an official in everything First come, of course, it is only limited to the officials who come first for good things, and the people who are bad things come first, the people must be given a chance, we can't completely deny the opportunity!

Ji Jishi looked from afar and saw a long line of chariots and horses coming up the road, not only the carts stretched a long way, but even the accompanying guards, there were as many as a regiment, with shiny armor and swords. Ax complete!
Ji Shishi turned his head and said to Chang Shi: "We have fewer people coming. If we knew that the prince's ostentation is so big, we would have to recruit thousands of people. Otherwise, we won't show the meaning of respecting the superior!"

Chang Shi sighed: "Yes, I also blame that General Ouyang, he didn't speak clearly, who would have thought that the governor would come with an army!"

He said so in his mouth, but he thought in his heart: "Master Ji, you are going to resign and return to your hometown, but we still have to work here, your flattery is not enough, I am afraid it will implicate us! "

Before the convoy approached, Ji Cishi trotted over regardless of his age and poor legs, beckoning, "My lord, my lord, I finally expect you to come!"

Wang Pingan saw Ji Shishi right away, and recognized him from the official uniform as the governor, and thought: "Don't run away, you are so old, be careful of falling!"

He jumped off the horse, strode forward, cupped his hands and said: "Master Ji, I have admired your name for a long time, and seeing you today is really lucky!"

"The same is true for the lower officials, and the same is true!" Ji Inspector rushed to the front, first saluted, then grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand, and said: "My lord, you have finally arrived, and the lower officials can finally take off this pair of gloves. It's a burden!"

Wang Pingan said, thinking: "What do you mean? Could it be that there is something wrong in Qingzhou that he can't solve, so he dumped the burden on me?"

Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan also got off their horses, and stepped forward to greet Ji Shishi.The Gyeongju officials from behind also ran to greet each other, asked about their hometowns, asked about their relatives, and asked about their relatives.After a while of chaos, it calmed down a little.

Inspector Ji introduced Wang Pingan. Apart from him in Gyeongju, the civil servants in Gyeongju respect Chang Shi, whose name is Che Sitong, and the generals, Chen Xiaowei, who is rushing to flatter him, is the biggest.

After exchanging pleasantries, the convoy entered the city and went straight to the governor's mansion.

After entering the city gate, Wang Ping'an frowned immediately, and saw that the houses on both sides of the street were fairly neat, but they were limited to the houses facing the street. The life of the people in Gyeongju is not very rich!
Qingzhou City is actually the city of Heshui County, with the county seat as the state seat, the standard is not high, and the city is naturally not that big, and after a short time, they arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wang Ping'an's heart sank. He saw that the governor's mansion was quite magnificent, which was exactly the opposite of the residences he had just seen!
