Chapter 631 Mi Xiaomiao Cares for the Prince's Relatives

After hearing the report, Wang Ping'an got up with a smile, and said, "It's so fast. According to the distance, I thought I'd have to wait a few more days!"

He turned to Du Laodao: "Chang'an is here, I have to go to greet you. You can go back and tell them that the model is very good, I am very satisfied, you hurry up and start building the big waterwheel. Slow down, but it doesn't matter, first find experience, and then speed up."

Mr. Du repeatedly agreed, followed the servants, and was about to leave the Governor's Mansion.

Looking at his slightly hunched figure, Wang Pingan knew that it was the burden of life, and he sighed in his heart, in which era the life of the poor was hard!He said loudly, "Boss Du!"

Boss Du hurriedly turned around, looked at Wang Ping'an, and heard Wang Ping'an say: "Go to the accountant to pay thirty pennies. I will reward you. This model is well made. The better it is, the more I will reward you. In the future, if you want it Redouble your efforts!"

Boss Du was overjoyed. They really made this model with care, but they didn't expect to reward so much money. It seems that working for Lord Inspector will indeed be like what he said, and the days will become richer and richer in the future!
He hurriedly thanked Wang Pingan and knelt down to kowtow to Wang Pingan.Wang Pingan waved his hand at him and said, "No need to be like this, don't always kneel when you have nothing to do in the future, there is gold under the man's knees!"

After leaving the back garden, Wang Pingan came to the lobby of the front yard.As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Mi Xiaomiao looking at him with a wry smile, followed by the Meng brothers.

Wang Pingan hurriedly smiled at them, thinking: "I just told Boss Du that there is gold under his knees, but now I am going to kneel." He knelt down in the courtyard, facing south to receive the order.

Mi Xiaomiao opened the imperial decree and read it. The main reason is that the imperial court agreed to Wang Pingan's construction of the Qingzhou Canal, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to send personnel to support it. Officials from the Ministry of Industry will arrive soon.

After receiving the order, Mi Xiaomiao smiled and shouted: "My lord, you are always well, my lord? I'm going to greet you!" As he said this, he was about to kneel down.

Wang Pingan knew Mi Xiaomiao's temper, and he didn't like others to call him a eunuch. He would be upset if he was called father-in-law, but he would be happy if he was called an adult.

Wang Pingan yelled loudly, jumped on both feet, took two steps back, and said, "Don't, please calm down, Mr. Mi. You kneel down and salute me. I have to kneel down to return the salute. How can this be possible?" What a bother, let's just avoid it, and you should do me a favor!"

Mi Xiaomiao didn't really kneel down for him, he straightened his waist and said with a smile: "This is what I said, you don't give face to others, but how can you not give face to the prince!" He put on a solemn face, Turning around, he said: "You two little bastards surnamed Meng, you are planning not to give face to the prince, let's see how our family deals with you two!"

The Meng brothers laughed loudly and said, "How dare you, Mr. Mi is just telling jokes!" The two of them stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Pingan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said with a smile: "You can't do this, our own brothers, being so polite, seems heretic!"

The four of them entered the hall hand in hand, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and Mi Xiaomiao asked: "My lord, I heard that you are planning to build a big project, such as water conservancy, like Qujiang Pond?"

Wang Ping'an knew in his heart that he couldn't explain anything to such an ignorant eunuch, so it's better not to explain, he said: "It's almost, anyway, it's just some small canals for watering the crops. Stay a few more days, we can go and have a look together, and take a look at the scenery of Gyeongju by the way!"

The servant brought tea, Mi Xiaomiao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed: "Our family also wants to stay here for a while, and get together with the prince, but it can't be done, we have to go back quickly, at most If you can stay here for three days, you have to count today.”

Wang Ping'an knew very well that it was Prince Li Zhi who was in a hurry to urge him to go back, otherwise there were so many eunuchs in the palace, why bother to send someone from the East Palace!
He deliberately said: "It seems that the emperor still attaches great importance to the people's livelihood in Gyeongju, which is why Master Mi hastened to go back!"

Mi Xiaomiao shook her head, and said: "No, it's not the emperor's urging, but according to the imperial court's intention, it is to wait for the officials from the Ministry of Industry to arrive, start planning to repair the canal, let our family see the situation, and then repay, don't worry But the court is not in a hurry, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a hurry. When our family arrived, Director Shi specially told us to return as soon as possible, and there is no delay on the way."

Meng Xiaotian interjected from the side: "When we came here, we didn't take the official path, we copied it from the path, otherwise we couldn't be so fast!"

Wang Pingan snorted, thinking: "Is there still a trail? I didn't know about it before." He said: "It's a pity, if Master Mi can stay for a few more days, I will prepare a lot of Qingzhou native products, and Master Mi will bring them back So that I can share with my dearest relatives and friends in the palace, if you leave in a hurry, I won't be able to prepare local products..." At this point, he deliberately stopped and lowered his head to drink tea.

Mi Xiaomiao asked, "What else?"

Wang Pingan put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Otherwise, you won't be able to bring back local products, so you can only bring more gold and silver!"

After hearing this, Mi Xiaomiao and the Meng brothers burst into smiles.Look, the princes are good at life, we just came to Gyeongju, and the chair under the buttocks is not warm yet, they said to give gold and silver, how reassuring!
The three of them hurriedly said, "My lord, you are too polite, and we are all embarrassed... Forget about the silver, let's convert it into gold!"

After some hypocritical politeness, Mi Xiaomiao said: "My lord, when our family was about to leave Beijing, we were specially called by Director Shi. His old man gave orders, saying that His Royal Highness cares about you, loves the house and Wu, so he also cares about your family. , specially prepared some gifts, they are all tonics, and let our family hand them over to your family."

Wang Pingan said, "I have to" show a surprised expression, if not surprised, then the other party must be surprised, how can you not be surprised by such a strange thing?He said: "Hand it over to my family? Why is that? Can't I hand it over?"

Mi Xiaomiao shook his head and said, "That's what Director Shi ordered. Who dares to ask him the reason? But our family estimates that the crown prince may value you too much, so he also values ​​your family? This is a good thing, although troublesome Some, but if it spreads, you will have some face, right?"

Meng Dayian also said: "That's right, you are the first minister in the world to be so valued by the crown prince!"

Wang Pingan was surprised and delighted at once, stood up excitedly, and cupped his hands to the south, thanking His Royal Highness for his love.

Mi Xiaomiao said: "This matter was specially ordered by Director Shi, and we have to do it as soon as our family arrives here. If it is convenient, the prince will invite all the family members out? Otherwise, we can go house by house, it is best Let’s go room by room, and look more sincere.”

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "Don't bother, that would be too tiring for Mr. Mi!" He said so, but he stood up. He knew that it was Shi Aiguo's special order, but in fact it was the prince's intention. If Mi Xiaomiao hadn't done this, then he would have been the leader when he went back, and Shi Aiguo would have to fix him to death.

Mi Xiaomiao also stood up and asked the Mengshi brothers to carry two large boxes, which contained many small boxes, which were probably distributed according to the head.

Mi Xiaomiao said: "Boss Shi also ordered that all your relatives, my lord, should be rewarded, and they cannot be collected by others. If someone gets sick, our family has to send it to the bedside in person." He clicked tut twice, and then Said: "His Royal Highness, the prince, really has nothing to say to you, so good that it makes our family jealous!"

The Meng brothers even nodded repeatedly. The way the prince cares about Wang Ping's family is really...unheard of!
Wang Pingan ordered his servants to take the box from the Meng brothers. He led the way and led Mi Xiaomiao to the back house.Mi Xiaomiao first met the Wangs and his wife, gave them gifts, and said a lot of kind words.

People in the palace have always been flattering.Mi Xiaomiao knew very well that the more he fawns on him now, the heavier the gift Wang Pingan will prepare for him before leaving. Is it easy to go all the way from Beijing to Qingzhou? After leaving this village, there will be no such store.

Wang Youcai and Yang Shi were very happy to be flattered by Mi Xiaomiao, but they also knew that Mi Xiaomiao must have been ordered to meet Wu Meiniang, but he didn't know it yet.

After delivering tonics to the Wangs and his wife, only two small boxes were sent out. Mi Xiaomiao asked, "My lord, do you have any other relatives?"

Wang Pingan said: "There is a distant relative, I will take you there."

Then he brought Mi Xiaomiao to Mrs. Yang and Miss Wu.Mi Xiaomiao still flattered her in a good voice, and praised Wu Xiaomei for her beauty.The Wu family's mother and daughter were flattered. They knew that it was because of Wang Ping'an's face that they could get rewards. They were grateful and thanked Wang Ping'an.

Mi Xiaomiao came out of the small courtyard of the Wu family and asked, "Do you have any relatives? Director Shi has prepared so many presents, and they have to be distributed. They can't be brought back!"

Wang Pingan pretended to think about it, and said, "There is another woman from the same clan as my mother. I wonder if this is considered a relative?"

"Same clan? That's fine, but the surname is Yang? People with the surname Yang were all in the same family 500 years ago, so of course it counts!" Mi Xiaomiao said.Before he left Beijing, Shi Aiguo repeatedly asked him to take care of all Wang Pingan's relatives and absolutely not leave one behind. Only in this way can he show the prince's love.

Mi Xiaomiao didn't understand why the crown prince cared so much for Wang Pingan's relatives, but he had to do what Shi Aiguo ordered, otherwise he would be punished.

Wang Pingan said, "It's okay, that's fine, let's go to her place to have a look! But she is pregnant, and she is a maid who does rough work. She doesn't live in the mansion, but a little girl who lives outside." In the courtyard, there is a laundry woman."

Mi Xiaomiao groaned and said, "Anyway, she is also your relative, how can I let her do that kind of work!"

Wang Pingan laughed dryly, and led them out of the Governor's Mansion, to Wu Meiniang's small courtyard.

Wu Meiniang was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, the governor's mansion had never arranged any work for her, and no clothes were brought to her, so she was very leisurely, and she just concentrated on raising her baby every day!
Wang Pingan opened the door and entered the courtyard, saying, "Yang Chunhua, someone from Chang'an has come to see you!"

Wu Meiniang was startled, and immediately stood up from the saddle, looked at the door, and sighed in her heart, isn't this Mi Xiaomiao!

Seeing Wu Meiniang, Mi Xiaomiao thought to herself, "Hey, this person... looks familiar!"
