Chapter 443 Wu Shun Visits
In Li Ke's eyes, Xue Rengui is worth a thousand dollars, and a mere five thousand coins is nothing.

Xue Rengui's visit to Liu's house was also a major event. Li Ke granted Xue Rengui a day off, and Xue Rengui was ordered by Li Ke to pay five hundred gold to the accountant of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion before leaving the mansion.

Because today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Kechu has not been in Jinyang City for a long time, there are quite a few people who come and go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to pay homage to the mansion. Xinjiang's new Jin "Hedong King".

Today, the people who came to the mansion to give gifts include state officials, powerful families, and noble clansmen, all of whom are counted in the entire Jinyang City, but Li Ke didn't have that much thought to socialize with these people one by one. He only ordered the people in the mansion to accept the gift, and returned the gift one by one.In this way, it was not until the afternoon that a person Li Ke must see came.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Wu asks to see you." Li Ke was dealing with official business in the study of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the guards of the Wang's Mansion led him in and reported to Li Ke.

When Li Ke first heard the name of Mrs. Wu, he suddenly paused. He still didn't know who Mrs. Wu was, and why the guards of the Wangfu made a special trip to report after Li Ke issued the return order.

But Li Ke thought about it for a while, and then he came to his senses and asked, "But the eldest sister of the concubine's mother is outside the house?"

Wang Fuwei replied: "Exactly."

Wu Shun is the eldest sister of Li Kezheng's concubine Wu Meiniang, she is naturally not an outsider, so she cannot be neglected, Li Ke heard that Wu Shun was outside the mansion, and hurriedly said: "Please, take Mrs. Wu to the side hall and wait, the king will arrive later."

"No." Wangfu Wei led a response, and went down to lead people.

After the guards of the Wangfu went down, Li Ke dealt with the affairs at hand, and went straight to the side hall. When Li Ke reached the door of the side hall, he saw Wu Shun with his hands on his knees, a little cautious, quietly in the side hall. sitting.

Although Wu Shun and Wu Meiniang are direct sisters of the same mother, they are also very intelligent, but their temperaments and preferences are quite different. Wu Meiniang is biased, but Wu Shun is more quiet; Wu Shun likes the peony, but it is simple and elegant, just like a hibiscus out of water.

Wu Shun right now is dressed in a light blue base, with a pomegranate skirt trimmed with white clouds, and a moon-white thin jacket with pinched flowers, green and white, Yingdi's whole person is like a green lotus blooming in a pond, and Wu Shun himself, It is the most tender and delicate red on the stamen in the middle of the petals.

"I have some miscellaneous tasks in my hands. I can't delay for a while, so I'll just ask sister to wait." Li Ke walked into the side hall and smiled at Wu Shun who was sitting in the hall.

In terms of age, Li Ke is actually two years older than Wu Shun, but the seniority of the family cannot be messed up. Wu Shun is Wu Meiniang's elder sister, and Wu Meiniang is Li Ke's official wife. Li Ke should also be called Wu Meiniang , calling Wushun "Sister".

"My daughter pays homage to Your Highness." Seeing Li Ke approaching, Wu Shun immediately got up and bowed his knees to salute.

Seeing this, Li Ke quickly raised his hand to support Wu Shun, saying: "They are all from my own family, sister, you don't need to be polite."

Wu Shun was supported by Li Ke, unable to bow down, so he stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

After Wu Shun got up, Li Ke said: "My sister came suddenly, why don't I order someone to notify in advance, so that the king can make some preparations."

Wu Shun said: "His Royal Highness granted an imperial decree to control the east of the river and transfer border affairs. The state affairs should be the most important thing. How dare my little girl disturb you."

Li Ke said with a smile: "My sister is out of sight. I don't know when my sister came to Jinyang, but it's just here?"

Wu Shun replied: "I only arrived today, and when I arrived in Jinyang, I came to the Governor's Mansion to meet His Highness."

Li Ke asked: "Why did sister come to Jinyang, but what's the matter?"

Wu Shun beckoned, and the house slave standing behind him lifted up the wooden box that was originally placed in the corner and placed it at Wu Shun's feet. Wu Shun pointed to the wooden box at his feet and said to Li Ke: "Bitter Winter will Now, my little sister is worried about the cold weather in the north, and His Highness is short of thick clothes, so she specially asked me to bring some clothes for His Highness along the way."

Hearing this, Li Ke looked down at the wooden box in front of him, and couldn't help showing a trace of warmth on his face. He was in the north, and his wife in Chang'an was still thinking about his well-being after all.

Li Ke first ordered someone to send the wooden box into the inner courtyard, and then said with a smile to Wu Shun: "It's a business in the palace, and Sister Lao is here."

Wu Shun said: "Your Highness, you are welcome. Seven days later, it will be the annual ancestor worship day at the Helan Family Ancestral Hall. I happen to be going to Daizhou, passing through Jinyang, and it is also a good way to drop by."

Hearing this, Li Ke asked: "Brother He Lan has now entered an official position and is an official in Beijing, so he can't travel far easily, right?"

Wu Shun was married to Helan Yueshi, and Helan Yueshi is now an official in Chang'an, serving as a military officer in Cangcao in Youweiwei. City, naturally a bit strange.

Wu Shun replied: "My husband is an official in Beijing, and it is inconvenient to travel far, so I entrusted me to go to Helan Ancestral Hall to worship on his behalf."

Hearing this, Li Ke asked in puzzlement: "As far as this king knows, Ying Shangong's lineage should not be Helan's parent's house. How can my sister enter the ancestral hall to worship?"

Every family of the Tang Dynasty has strict rules when worshiping ancestors in the ancestral hall every year. All female family members in the mansion, except for the wife of the head of the family, are not allowed to enter. There are also such rules, Li Ke was naturally a little surprised when he heard what Wu Shun said.

Wu Shun replied with a smile: "My husband's house is indeed not the house of Helan's parents, and I am not allowed to enter it according to the rules. But now that His Highness is patrolling Hedong, and Daizhou is under His Highness's jurisdiction, how dare the Helan family be disrespectful? More than half a month ago, someone from the Helan family made a special trip to ask me to go to the Helan ancestral hall to worship the ancestors on behalf of my husband, and I owe it to His Highness."

The Helan family is also a big family in Daizhou. There are more than a hundred female relatives in the whole Helan family, and apart from the chief wife, Wu Shun is the only woman who has entered the ancestral hall. Naturally, the Helan family has given Wushun a great deal of face .

Li Ke heard the words, thought for a while, and understood what Wu Shun meant, and also what He Lan's family meant.

Although the Helan family is a wealthy family in the north, and a powerful family, the prosperity of the Helan family is mostly based on the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After entering the Tang Dynasty, very few of the Helan family have been officials in the court. If this continues, the Helan family will gradually disappear within a hundred years.

Now that He Lan Yueshi married Wu Shun, and Wu Meiniang, Wu Shun's sister, married into the Prince of Chu's mansion, and Li Ke, the king of Chu, was in charge of the power in Hedong. If the Helan family can unite with Chu Palace, they can go back to the past.

The Helan family wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Li Ke, and for Li Ke, this was his opportunity. If Li Ke wanted to gain a foothold in Hedong, he needed the support of the local aristocratic family.The Helan family has been in Hedong for a hundred years, and they are quite influential both in the folk and in the official circles. Li Kezheng can use the Helan family to win over the Hedong family and help him.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Since this is the case, please trouble my sister to bring a message to the Helan family for the king, and say that their love is in the hands of the king. When the king passes through Daizhou in the future, he must pay a visit to the mansion. "

Wu Shun couldn't help smiling even more when he heard the words, and said to Li Ke: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely bring your Highness's words."
