Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 504 Can't escape

Wang Wenzuo returned to his residence exhausted. Sangqiu sent a thick stack of letters. He put it on the desk angrily, and then asked the backyard to prepare hot water and lunch. Have a good meal, and then think about other things.

"Obey!" Sancho bowed respectfully, "I'll ask Madam Yun to prepare immediately!"

"Well! Also, you get the guards ready, I'm going to Pingguo tomorrow!"

"Ping Guo?" Sancho showed a dazed look, obviously he didn't know where the place name was.While taking off his burqa, Wang Wenzuo explained: "It is the mouth of the Liaoshui River. I have already told Gao Duhu that in the future, ports will be opened and cities will be opened there to trade with overseas!"

"Business with overseas? That would be great!" Sancho couldn't help but cracked his mouth and laughed. He knew a lot about Wang Wenzuo's operations in Japan and the Far East: "If there is an additional port from here, we can bring The goods from Wa, Baekje, and Ezo land are transported here first, and then transported to Hebei and Shandong by land or water. It is much more convenient than before!"

"That's for the future! The most important thing right now is the convenience of deploying troops!"

"Easy to deploy troops? Are you going to fight again?"

"Well, it's very likely!" Wang Wenzuo didn't hide anything: "Have you forgotten Baekje back then? Don't you think it's very similar to the current situation?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have many soldiers around right now? Why don't you send some soldiers from the Wa Kingdom and Xiongjin Governor's Mansion!" Sanqiu became anxious when he heard this.

"Nothing to mobilize the soldiers from the foreign vassal? Do you think I, the marching commander Shi, have done too comfortably?" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

"Then, what should we do then?"

"Yijing is the brake. Remember, the chief officer of Anton Dufu Mansion is Gao Kan Gao Duhu, not me, Wang Wenzuo! Remember the distinction between primary and secondary. This time you also come with me , when the time comes, the supervisor of Pingguo Port will be handed over to you, and you will be a catcher there after it is completed!"

"Lang Jun, the villain is from Baekje. He can't even speak Tang dialect. It's okay to be a supervisor. I'm afraid he can't do something like a guard!"

"You are my Wang Wenzuo's domestic slave. I am from Tang Dynasty. Who dares to say that you are from Baekje?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "Besides, the matter of opening a port is so important. There are only a few people around me who can be trusted. , who do you use? No, it doesn’t matter, just learn slowly, as for catching thieves or something, it doesn’t matter if you fail, I’ll send someone who is skilled in bow and horse as your deputy!”

"Yes, yes!" Sancho was delighted when he heard this. Although he had followed Wang Wenzuo a long time ago, after the Baekje Rebellion was put down, he did not follow him whether he returned to Chang'an or went to the country of Wa. Instead, he followed Wang Wenzuo. Cao Wenzong, while Sanqiu was ordered to manage Wang Wenzuo's many properties in Baekje, and others called him Neiguanling.But Sanqiu felt in his heart that he was alienated by Wang Wenzuo, and he couldn't help feeling a little resentful and uneasy.

On the contrary, his daughter-in-law has a lot of experience, and she persuaded him: "Then Cao Wenzong is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has more disciples like tigers and wolves. If the Lord doesn't use him as a guard, why should he use you? You were just a horse slave, and the Lord sent his own family Don't you trust you if all the property is entrusted to you? If you can manage this property well, the Lord will naturally reuse it for you. Shall I paint you on the wall?"

After listening to his wife's persuasion, Sancho made up his mind and devoted all his attention to Wang Wenzuo's property. Although he didn't read any books, he was willing to endure hardships and work hard. Every summer and autumn harvest season, he would ride around on horseback. Run around, personally inspect the harvests of farms in various places, determine the amount of tax, and instruct farmers in various places to repair houses and clean ditches in winter.Seeing how hardworking he is, the village chiefs from all over the country did not dare to lie to him. Over the past few years, the farms he managed have grown well, and Wang Wenzuo was quite satisfied, so this time he planned to build a port in Pingguo and thought of Sancho coming.

When Wang Wenzuo returned to the backyard, Gui Shiyun waited for him to take a bath, and after eating, he began to read the letterhead that had just been delivered.Gui Shiyun massaged her shoulders while chatting with her husband.

"Sanlang, I heard that Chang'an Luoyang is where the heavenly people live. If the imperial court transfers you to be an official in the middle of the capital in the future, can you also take me to meet the market?"

"Chang'an Luoyang, I think it's normal!" Wang Wenzuo replied casually while reading the letter paper: "Is there anything to do? It's okay during the day. At night, when the market is closed, there is no one on the road, so it's not the same as going to jail." Different!"

Did not get the answer she wanted, Gui Shiyun gritted her teeth secretly, and added two points of strength in her hand: "You said that Chang'an Luoyang is not good, why do so many people want to go? And your poems and songs from the Tang Dynasty It is written in the Fu: "Zhou Lu has thousands of columns, and the road is wrong. The chariot road is operated, and the Fei Pavilion is repaired. Since Weiyang, it is connected to Gui Palace, and the north is bright and bright, and Changle is here." You don't think I am old and old. Ugly, I was afraid of losing your face, so I said that on purpose, and you won't let me go with you?"

Whoops!

Wang Wenzuo let out a scream, but was pinched by Gui Shiyun, and screamed: "What are you thinking! Who dislikes you for being old and ugly, I really don't want to go to Chang'an, Luoyang, I would rather stay in Dongguo! "

"You really think so?" Gui Shiyun hurriedly withdrew her hand, and asked doubtfully, "But I heard that the officials in Yingzhou want to go to Chang'an!"

"It's true that they want to go to Chang'an, but they are them and I am me!" Wang Wenzuo sighed.

"Why is that?"

"They want to go to Chang'an because guests from all over the world gather there and gain knowledge. If they are appreciated by noble people, they can make a fortune. But I don't lack knowledge. The emperor, queen, and prince have already known my name, and I have been promoted a lot. Slow down, why do you want to go to Chang'an? I can do whatever I want here, and when I go to Chang'an, I have to be careful with every gesture, lest half of them will not cause trouble, why do I want to go to Chang'an?"

Hearing what Wang Wenzuo said, Gui Shiyun couldn't help showing a smile on her face. If she said that what she fears the most now is that one day Wang Wenzuo will be transferred back to Chang'an. With his official position and talent, there will definitely be countless beauties Surrounded up, I am a sister of a prisoner, and I am not too young, how can I resist the siege of so many noble Yingyingyanyans.If it really came to that point, I can only ask for it, and go back to my hometown to live alone. Fortunately, I already have a child, so I am not afraid of not being without support.Thinking of this, she put her arms around Wang Wenzuo's neck affectionately, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you don't go to Chang'an, then I won't go either, and stay in this cold place for the rest of my life!"

"Then why don't you rub my shoulders for me? After a busy day, it's so hard!"

Enjoying Gui Shiyun's massage, Wang Wenzuo flipped through a few letters. He had a lot of affairs in his hands at this time. There were five or six letters from the Wa country alone, about Iwami Yinshan and the development of Ezo , Ryukyu sugar plantation, and the suppression of the remnants of the emperor's royal family, temple construction, and samurai disputes over territories.The affairs were complicated, and the more Wang Wenzuo looked at them, the more he felt a headache. He thought to himself that he must set up a special adjudication agency, otherwise he would be exhausted just to deal with these matters.

Thinking about who should be chosen to form the adjudication agency, Wang Wenzuo opened the next letter. As soon as the first two lines came into view, Wang Wenzuo was startled and said, "Ah Yun, I'm a little thirsty. Now, go and pour me a bowl of buttermilk, it should be hot, no stone honey!"

Gui Shiyun responded, got up and walked out, Wang Wenzuo waited for him to go out, and then opened the letter for a closer look, he quickly read the letter paper, and then put it in his arms, thinking to himself: "This Qinghe Cui family Such a great name, it turns out that even fifty thousand copper coins can't hold back, as expected, it's hard to live up to such a great name!"

Wang Wenzuo was thinking about the letter in his bosom, Gui Shiyun had already brought back the buttermilk, Wang Wenzuo drank a couple of sips, but his mind was still thinking about the marriage with Cui, and he felt more and more that Gui Shiyun was beside him. uneasy.

"Ayun, I will get up early tomorrow and go out early, and I will rest early tonight!" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

"Okay, I'll make the bed right away!"

"Hmm, I'm sorry to bother you!" Looking at the back of the hurriedly leaving, Wang Wenzuo suddenly felt a little guilty.In fact, Gui Shiyun also knew that she would never become Wang Wenzuo's official wife, but Wang Wenzuo's position as the official wife has been vacant over the years. He has maintained a long-term relationship with him, and the only woman who is still alive is Gui Shiyun. People usually address Ghost Shiyun as his wife, no different from his regular wife.More importantly, Guishiyun is not the kind of weak woman who has no independent ability and can only be attached to Wang Wenzuo. As the only living member of the Guishi family, she has the orthodox blood of the Buyeo royal family by her side. She has great appeal and a rich territory. Even after leaving Wang Wenzuo, she is still a very rich female lord.

In this case, even in Wang Wenzuo's heart, Gui Shiyun's status is almost the same as that of his wife.Under such circumstances, Cui Hongdu went to the Cui family of Qinghe to propose marriage for himself. Although there was no legal problem, Wang Wenzuo still felt that he was a little bit wrong from a rational point of view.

"It's reasonable for Mrs. Cui to ask me to visit, but I don't have time to go to Qingzhou right now!" Wang Wenzuo lay on the bed, looking at the pattern on the ceiling, feeling upset: "I don't know who Mrs. Cui is? What kind of person, Cui Hongdu boasted that there is no one in the sky, but if he married an inappropriate person, it would be too troublesome!"

The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became, turned over and sat up on the bed, pushed open the door, and was about to go to the yard to take a breath, but he heard someone whisper: "My lord!"

"Is it Wenzong?" Wang Wenzuo let out a long breath.

"It's right here!" Cao Wenzong came out from under the eaves, and the moonlight cast down from behind him, leaving a long shadow.

"Well, I'm a little worried, I can't sleep for a while, come out to get some air!"

"What's bothering you?" Cao Wenzong looked at Wang Wenzuo in surprise: "Everything is settled, what else is there to worry about?"

Wang Wenzuo had nothing to hide from his personal guard. He handed Cui Hongdu's letterhead to Cao Wenzong: "This is the matter. If I marry a shrew and enter the house, I'm afraid I will have a bad life in the future!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry!" Cao Wenzong said with a smile, "Qinghe Cui's family is very respectful of etiquette, how can the daughter of the family be a shrew? If the heavenly family bestows a marriage, you should be more careful!"

"That's true!" Wang Wenzuo breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thanking feudal female virtues in his heart.

"However, since you are going to marry your first wife, the two elders in your family should also prepare for it? As well as offering sacrifices to the ancestors, is the lord ready?" Cao Wenzong asked casually.Seeing Wang Wenzuo shaking his head, he said in astonishment, "You didn't even prepare for this, so you went to ask Cui to propose marriage?"

"This—" Wang Wenzuo turned his head in embarrassment to avoid the other party's sight: "I'm busy these days, so I forgot!"

"How can such a big event be forgotten?" Cao Wenzong said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, it's not too late, why don't you let me go first and tell the two elders that you are going to marry the Cui family, so as not to let the Cui family I know, I’m afraid I’ll think I’m being rude to wait!”

Cough!

Wang Wenzuo coughed dryly twice: "I'd better go to this matter myself, after all, I haven't returned to my hometown for several years, so I might as well go back this time to understand everything!"

"That's good!" Cao Wenzong said with a smile: "For the important event of marriage, you really should go there in person. As the saying goes, if you don't return to your hometown, it's like traveling at night in brocade. Now that you return to your hometown like this, you will be able to glorify your ancestors!"

————————————————————————

"Guangzong Yaozu?" Lying on the bed, Wang Wenzuo complained with a look of boredom: "My ancestors will not be born until hundreds of years later! How bright, how glorious!"

As a domestic slave serving in the army, Wang Wenzuo was very reluctant to have any relationship with that so-called "family" from the bottom of his heart. Whether he was promoted or rewarded later, he would at most send someone back to his hometown to bring a gift. Just do it, as for me, I always take a detour.The reason is simple, he really can't connect the group of guys who forced him to die thousands of miles away with the word "family"; and he also knows that those people probably don't want to see him again.Since neither side wants to see each other, it's better never to see each other.Of course, he wasn't worried that his group of cheap relatives would reveal these secrets—with his current military achievements, as long as it wasn't a crime of treason, he would cover up all crimes, and that family would cause big trouble.

But today, since he wants to marry a family of etiquette and law like the Cui family, he cannot avoid "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker".No matter how rich and powerful I am, marrying someone else's daughter requires three matchmakers and nine hires. Parents will definitely not be able to get around this hurdle.No matter how much I don't want to see that group of people, I have to go back to get rid of the lie and perform the trick. Even if I never see each other again in this life, I can't escape this trip.Thinking of this, Wang Wenzuo felt a suffocation in Xiong's abdomen, which was indescribably suffocated.
