Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 704 Wu Meiniang's Letter to Li Zhi
Ouyang Li laughed and said: "Being a nurse for one year can get one hundred acres of fertile land. I guess that family will have to send their daughter-in-law into the house crying and shouting! Even if his children lose one year of milk, what can they do?" , when you grow up, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Wang Pingan nodded slightly, and said: "This is easy to handle, but those people tonight, after knowing about that Chunhua, the maids in the mansion can say that they are right under our noses, but those steady women..."

Ouyang Li slashed down with one palm, made a killing motion, and said, "Kill them all? Otherwise, my subordinates will take them out of the city and deal with them directly. It will be settled once and for all, and there will be no future troubles." !"

Wang Pingan waved his hand and said, "It's unreasonable. It's the New Year's Eve, and besides, the child is just born, so she can't just come into this world, because she will let others see blood, right? This is too unlucky!"

Ouyang Li frowned, and said: "Then we have to send them away, far away, but we don't seem to have any place to house them, and if we want to send them away, we have to send them away with their families, otherwise If there is trouble, it will be a big trouble, and there is no leader!"

Wang Pingan hummed, thought for a moment, and then said: "Send all relevant people to Zheliu County, which is our territory, and it is the safest. Give each family one hundred acres of land, and give five hundred Guan a home. Fei, the cattle and other things are enough, and they will live without worry from now on. They can live a prosperous life, and they will not refuse. Moreover, this kind of prosperous life is nothing more than that, once they live it, they will be afraid of losing it. Let them leak the news, they are not willing."

Ouyang Li smiled and said: "Spite them with money, and even go all the way to Zheliu County? This is too easy to do. The subordinates will be able to do it well. Master, don't worry."

Wang Pingan said again: "Tell those stable women that the child failed to make it through and unfortunately died, don't say anything else."

When he said these words, his expression was gloomy. Grief is nothing more than the loss of a loved one.It's a pity that this child Xiao Taiping lost his mother because the mother didn't want her.It seems that I can only raise her well in the future, and I can't let her personality be like my mother's, and I can't let her be like the Princess Taiping in history, coveting the imperial power and throne, so that she died in the end!

Ouyang Li made a soft ah, his expression was also a little uncomfortable, and he whispered: "The child...isn't kept?" He has always protected Wu Meiniang, and has thought about what the child she gave birth to will be like more than once, but But when he heard that the child had passed away, he naturally felt sad.

Wang Pingan let out a sigh, and said: "I adopted the child. I thought it was a righteous daughter and named it Taiping. Just because she was a daughter, that Aunt Chunhua didn't want her. She was afraid of losing the crown prince's favor. Now she is nestling in the house and writing letters. Said that the child was not kept, in order to win the prince's sympathy, and bring her back to his side."

He was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Meiniang's behavior. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he finally couldn't bear it and showed a little in front of his confidants.

Ouyang Li didn't understand it at first, and he really couldn't understand it. A normal person wouldn't act like Wu Meiniang, but he figured it out just by being dazed, with a horrified look on his face!

He said: "No, no way! Then how could Yang Chunhua think this way, and what about her daughter? Isn't that the same as her and the prince's own flesh and blood? Besides, the prince...doesn't mean he doesn't like his daughter, the subordinates think He should like his daughter more than his son!"

Wang Pingan snorted, looked at Ouyang Li curiously, and said, "How do you know, how did you guess it?"

Ouyang Li laughed twice, and said: "Master, you are doing big things, and what you talk about with the prince is the big national affairs, but we are different. We have to protect the prince and you at any time! Some small things, do you pay attention to it?" But we can notice it. When we visited the Grotto Temple last time, the subordinates noticed that when the aunt Chunhua begged the Buddha to have a child, the prince did not pay special attention to it, and he often frowned, sometimes Once, I privately said that having a daughter would save my worries. Our ears are sharp and we can hear far away. Although his voice was low when he said it, it seemed that we were far away. It has nothing to do with us, so I didn't say it."

Wang Ping'an said, yes, for the royal family of the Li family, having a son is not as good as having a daughter. If there are too many sons, it's really troublesome, hacking each other, from the generation of Taiping's grandfather to her future nephew In that generation, it never stopped. Her nephew Tang Minghuang was even more ruthless. He directly killed the eldest son and robbed the younger son's wife!

Ouyang Li said: "That's why my subordinates thought that although Aunt Chunhua is a very smart person, she was wrong about this matter. Maybe the prince really likes his daughter more than his son!"

Wang Pingan thought: "That's not necessarily the case, we all think about it from the perspective of kinship, and Aunt Chunhua, she thinks about things, but she may not think the same as us!"

Sighing, Wang Ping'an said, "Let's not discuss these things. It's useless to discuss, and maybe it will cause trouble. You go to work, and do it strictly. Money can make ghosts turn the millstone and push it away." Damn, laugh haha, those steady women will also laugh when they see money!"

Ouyang Li said: "That's right, whoever changed, who doesn't laugh, will have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life!" After finishing speaking, he left the main hall and went to work. , otherwise it would be too much.

Wang Ping stood up, and left the main hall to go to the back house. When passing by Wu Meiniang's small courtyard, he stopped and thought about it, but he didn't go in, and walked slowly to his parents' courtyard.

The yard of the old couple of the Wang family was very lively. Several sheep were tied up. These sheep came to a new place and kept bleating dishonestly. At a loss, I don't know how to stop the sheep from squawking. A servant girl beat the sheep with a feather duster, but the more she beat the sheep, the louder the sheep squawked.

When Wang Ping'an entered the yard, he saw a group of maids and women walking around the sheep. He was very angry and funny, and said: "Sheep like to eat paper, you just feed them paper, and don't beat them, the more you beat them, the more you beat them." Don't they make them scream more happily, and let the old lady sleep!"

The maids and women were all surprised, sheep love paper?It's too pretentious!How expensive is that paper? If it is high-quality white paper, the kind that the young master writes on, a knife of paper is worth as much as a sheep. Give them paper?Who is willing to!
Seeing that they were all stunned, Wang Pingan waved his hands and said, "If it's not possible, tie the sheep's mouths up, just don't let them bark, so what's the trouble! Also, don't tell anyone about today's events. Just send her to Turkic, find a Turkic man, let her play with sheep all day long, group by group!"

The maids and women almost fainted from fright, and they went to Turkic to herd sheep, and shed sheep in groups, and the few in front of them would be unbalanced, and who can bear more!
Wang Ping'an entered the room. The doors and windows were all tightly closed, and there were several large copper stoves. The room was warm. His father, Wang Youcai, was already lying on the bed, leaning on his head with one hand, looking at Mrs. Yang.Yang Shi sat by the bed, pushed the cradle, hummed a little tune, and looked at little Taiping in the cradle lovingly.

Seeing Wang Ping'an coming in, Mrs. Yang hissed and told him to keep his voice down.Wang Ping'an walked up to the cradle, and saw that little Taiping's face was flushed, and he was sleeping soundly!
He asked in a low voice, "Did she cry just now?"

Yang said: "I didn't cry much, I just cried a little bit, changed the diaper, fed some goat's milk, and fell asleep again!"

Wang Youcai smiled and said in a low voice: "This child is really easy to feed. He drinks goat milk as soon as he is fed. He is not picky at all. It is not like you were picky when you were young. You are also picky now."

Wang Pingan chuckled a few times, and said: "It's enough to feed. By the way, the wet nurse has been found, and she just gave birth. I just don't want to come here tonight. I have to wait until dawn. I promise to give them a hundred mu of fertile land, as long as it can feed our little Taiping well, it doesn't matter if there are more!"

In normal times, Mrs. Yang would be furious when she heard that a wet nurse of [-] mu of fertile land was given. Whose wet nurse is such a valuable method? With [-] mu of fertile land, do you plan to hire a wet nurse or use it as a nurse? Her whole family was hired!But tonight she wasn't angry at all, instead she smiled and said, "I'm afraid one is not enough, we should hire a few more, but please don't wrong our darling!"

Wang Pingan laughed twice, stretched out his fingers, and gently scratched Xiao Taiping's face. Xiao Taiping hummed a few times, smacked his lips, shook his little head, and continued to sleep!
The three members of the Wang family laughed together. This child is really lovable, lovable, and pitiful!

After watching Little Taiping for a while, Wang Ping'an left. Neither Wang Youcai nor Yang Shi asked about Wu Meiniang anymore. Obviously, they didn't want to mention her anymore, and they already hated that woman in their hearts!
Back in his room, Wang Pingan folded his clothes and lay down. Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow he has to get up early to meet the people who come to flatter him early in the morning, and he has to go to Li Ke's place in person to pay New Year's greetings to that unlucky prince. Tomorrow will be more tiring than today!
Xiao Bansu was speechless, woke up early the next morning, Wang Pingan finished washing and was going to the front, but Ding Danruo told him that Huang Xiaoya came and was waiting outside the courtyard.Wang Pingan had no choice but to call in, guessing that Wu Meiniang's letter was finished, and asked him to send someone to Chang'an.

As expected, Huang Xiaoya asked Wang Pingan to go over.In fact, the current Wang Pingan is also somewhat disgusted with Wu Meiniang, but after all, he is a person of later generations and knows something about Wu Meiniang, so he is not like Yang and Wang Youcai, to the point where he doesn't even want to mention Wu Meiniang.

Wang Pingan asked Huang Xiaoya to go back first, and he sat in the room for a while to sort out his emotions before getting up to see Wu Meiniang.

He entered Wu Meiniang's house and sent Huang Xiaoya out.Wang Pingan saw that Wu Meiniang's expression was okay, and she was recovering well, but the dark circles under her eyes were a little heavier. Other than that, she was not as haggard as imagined at all, except that her stomach was getting smaller, everything was as usual.

Wang Ping'an admired this woman quite a lot. She was really different from ordinary people. If she had to change someone else, she had to lie on the bed with a handkerchief on her head. She is like this, as if the matter is not hers!

Wu Meiniang sat at the table, opened a stack of papers, and said, "Uncle, this is a letter written by Meiniang to the prince. Meiniang thought about it. If it was all written by myself, the effect would not be good, so this short one is Mei Niang wrote it, but for these long ones, I have to ask my uncle to copy them again, send them out together, and secretly send them to Chang'an for the crown prince."

Wang Pingan hummed. He took the so-called short paper first, and read it again. He saw that the paper was crumpled, and some words on it were still scratched. It seemed that tears dripped on it, so the writing was blurred. of.He sighed in his heart, Wu Meiniang is very good at counterfeiting, if she was born in modern times, she would be able to make fake antiques, and the fakes she made would surely deceive a large number of people!

The words on the paper were intermittent, and the preamble and the afterword were inconsistent, as if a seriously ill person wrote it out indiscriminately when he was unconscious.But what is commendable is that there is not much love for children in this letter. It only mentions how much Wu Meiniang misses Li Zhi, but focuses on how sad she lost her child, and only mentions one The request is to hope that Li Zhi will bury her and the child together, and the coffin will be sent to her ancestral home in Bingzhou for burial.

Other than that, there isn't much to say!

Wang Ping'an yelled loudly in his heart. The letter was written so well that it could capture Li Zhi's psychology. In terms of Li Zhi's character, after reading this letter, he had to cry and cry. He could imagine that Li Zhi With tears and snot on his face, he could have expected that Li Zhi had to take Wu Meiniang to his side, no matter how difficult it was, he would do it. Of course, it was not Li Zhi himself who did the work, but he must be the first one. It's just a confidant... This is what I call when I have difficulties, I have to go up, if there are no difficulties, first create difficulties, and then go up!

After reading the short message, I read the long letter again.Looking at the long letter, Wang Ping'an's scalp is numb. Okay, this long letter is almost as good as a thrilling short story. If it is translated into vernacular, it will have at least tens of thousands of words, and it can be included in Tang Chuanqi middle.

The long letter describes how difficult and dangerous it was for Wu Meiniang to give birth, and how "heroic" Wang Pingan himself was in rescuing Wu Meiniang from the brink of death. Blow it, and then say sorry to the prince, the child was not kept!

Wang Pingan sighed in his heart, and then read down, the latter wrote how he took care of Wu Meiniang, and how weak Wu Meiniang was, she kept calling the prince in a coma, and would not eat or drink after waking up, and her mind was occasionally clear, she begged Myself, don't write to the prince that she misses the prince, and don't let the prince worry about her.

At the end of the letter, I wrote that the minister did not dare to lie to the emperor, but could only tell the truth, and the crown prince was asked to decide on the follow-up matters!
After reading the letter, Wang Pingan patted the few pieces of paper, and said with a bitter face: "Meiniang, this is not deceiving the emperor, it is also deceiving the emperor. If the prince turns over the old account in the future, your uncle and my head may be on the neck. I can't stay in prison anymore!"

Wu Meiniang stood up, blessed Wang Ping'an, and said: "As long as Meiniang is by the prince's side, how can the prince turn over today's old score?"

Wang Pingan snorted, and thought: "Forget it, let me send you back to Chang'an, or stay in Qingzhou, maybe you can afford some kind of demon!"
