Chapter 599: Throat

The leader was Hamiti, and Xu Jingzong was also in the crowd, and even Su Dingfang came. They were all here to see Wang Ping'an off.

Hamiti was the first to come over and smiled and said, "Prince, today is your day to leave Beijing. We went to your house early, but we didn't see you. Moreover, even Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were not here. I guess you went to the palace, so I rushed here to see you off."

As he spoke, he asked someone to take a willow branch with tender buds, hold it in both hands, and give it to Wang Ping'an. Willow and Liu Yin are the same. This was the habit of the Tang Dynasty when people bid farewell to their friends, and they gave it to Wang Ping'an.

When other big businessmen saw this, they all came over and gave him willow branches, and of course there were gift lists. Wang Ping'an was responsible for collecting the willow branches, while Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan temporarily acted as followers, keeping the gift list for him and receiving gift lists.

After being polite, Xu Jingzong walked up and gave a deep tribute to Wang Ping'an, with a very sincere expression. Although he didn't know if he was sincere, he still looked quite sincere.

Wang Ping'an quickly returned the greeting and said, "Mr. Xu, some days have disappeared, you have reduced your weight a lot."

Xu Jingzong lost a lot of weight. Anyone who encountered anything he encountered would get angry. His originally chubby face became thinner and he had a little pointed chin.

Xu Jingzong sighed softly at first, and then said, "Duke, I can't escape the disaster, and I'm at this age again. If I were really sent to Yazhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. Unexpectedly, with the help of you, the noble man, I can stay in Chang'an and enjoy my old age!"

Wang Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, don't say that. You and I will meet each other. If you don't talk about some things, I will do for you, but I am a person with limited ability and can't help too much!"

Xu Jingzong bowed his hand and bowed to Wang Ping'an again, saying, "I have been sick at home these days and have not been able to express my gratitude to the prince in time, but I do not thank you for your kindness. I remember the goodness of the prince to me and I will never forget it for a moment. I have offended the prince before, and I hope you will forgive me."

He asked his men to bring two bowls of wine, one bowl was held by Wang Ping'an in both hands, and took another bowl himself, saying, "The prince is traveling far away, Lao Fu toast a glass to show his feelings." After that, he drank the wine in one sip.

Wang Ping'an took the wine bowl in one fell swoop and drank the wine. Xu Jingzong, a potential political enemy, had been defeated by him and had been brought into his own camp. He did not expect to borrow any power from Xu Jingzong, as long as he did not make trouble with him.

Su Dingfang also came over, holding wine in his hand. Although he was not very glorious during this period, he got a chance again in his career and was promoted to an official position. For him, he was originally a prisoner in custody, but after following the right boss, he had a future. Of course, he had to thank the boss, that is, Wang Ping'an.

Su Dingfang arrived and said, "Prince, Mo Jiang was sent to Shangzhou and became a deputy governor. Before leaving, he went to Inspiration Temple twice to say goodbye to you, but unfortunately you were not there. I got news the day before yesterday that you were going to Qingzhou to take office. Mo Jiang came from Shangzhou immediately. He finally arrived last night, but he didn't get into the city. He waited until now. Fortunately, he met Mr. Ha and the others, otherwise Mo Jiang would not know where to wait for you!"

Wang Ping'an took the wine from his hand and smiled and said, "We are good brothers. The key is to communicate with each other. The tedious etiquette of etiquette is avoided if you can!" He and Su Dingfang clashed with the bowl, and both of them were drunk.

Someone came up again and toasted Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an refused everyone and drank a cup of water and wine. He had been socializing for more than half an hour before it came to an end. Wang Ping'an said goodbye to everyone and set off again.

I didn't walk far this day, but only about ten miles away, I arrived at a small town. This was the place he made an appointment with the Wang couple. Seeing the convoy parked in a hotel in the town, Wang Ping'an and others got off the horse and entered the store.

The Wang couple had been anxious, and they were relieved when they saw Wang Ping'an coming. They booked the entire inn and rented a lot of nearby houses for their servants and guards to live there.

The Wang couple lived in a small courtyard in the small yard and saw their son coming. Yang asked, "Son, why are you blushing? But you have drunk wine?"

Wang Ping'an opened his mouth and squirted a smell of alcohol. He smiled and said, "Yes, when he first left the city, he was seen off by a group of people and drank a lot. But mother, don't worry, it's all water and wine, and I'm not very strong, I'm fine." Fortunately, those who saw off did not use the spirits in the medicinal food shop, otherwise he would have to lie on the ground now.

Wang Youcai said: "We'll spend the night here tonight. Ping An, please go and have a rest first. We'll call you when we eat."

Wang Ping'an agreed, went to his room, lay down on the bed and let the mystery glared.

After a long time, Ding Danruo came to knock on the door and told him to get up to have dinner. Wang Ping'an got up, washed his face, went to the cottage, and then went to the front.

The food was already set up in the front hall of the inn, waiting for Wang Ping'an to come. The inn is not big, with only two friends. With so many customers, they were too busy. The shopkeeper, his wife and son came out to help and entertain the guests.

Food is average, and people are on the road, so they can’t pay attention to anything, just eat whatever they want.

The shopkeeper knew that the guest was Wang Ping'an, a famous Chang'an. He was very attentive to entertain him. After the meal was served, he did not leave, but stood by the side so that he could be at any time.

At this time, a child's laughter suddenly came from the small room behind the counter. A small crack was opened on the door curtain, and someone looked out. The small room was usually used by the shopkeeper for rest, and the people inside were probably his family.

Yang took a piece of chicken to Wang Ping'an and said, "It's the shopkeeper's grandson. He is only one year old and has a pinkish look, which is painful. When will I be able to hold my grandson?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's so fast, it won't take two years."

The shopkeeper heard that they mentioned their little grandson and hurried over and said with a smile: "Prince, you are a big man. You can stay in the villain's shop today. The villain's face is bright when he says it. The villain has something to ask for, so he is embarrassed to speak..."

Di Renjie also sat on this table. He heard what the shopkeeper said, and he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to open my mouth, so don't open it!"

The shopkeeper was embarrassed and he had inquired just now. The young master was Jinke's archer and wanted to be the county magistrate. He wanted to take this opportunity to change the name of the shop and change it to "Chengtou Inn". Unexpectedly, Di Renjie joked with him.

Wang Ping'an put down his chopsticks and smiled at the shopkeeper, "Don't listen to my brother's jokes. If there is anything wrong with me, it's okay." He saw that the shopkeeper was only in his thirties and actually had a grandson, so he was afraid that four generations would be together in his family if they were less than fifty years old.

The shopkeeper quickly said, "Prince, the villain's grandson is over one year old, but he has not named him yet. I want to ask you to pick one for him and share your nobleness."

Wang Ping'an said with a smile and said, "It turns out that he is going to give him a name. I thought the child was sick. Please ask me to see the doctor. OK, take him out!"

Seeing Wang Ping'an agreeing, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be happy, and he said, "The villain's grandson is so strong, nothing is wrong!" He turned around, waved to the hut, and asked his daughter-in-law to come out with the child in her arms.

The curtain opened and a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old came out. According to the age of modern people, she had just started high school at most. If she was a little late in school, she might have graduated from junior high school. The girl was holding a fat baby in her arms, and she seemed to be the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law and grandson.

Wang Ping'an couldn't help laughing. Such a young girl is just a mother. The child is over one year old. People are really anxious these days. It seems that this shopkeeper, let alone four generations, is a possibility even if he lives together in the same family. Maybe he can get into six generations!

The little girl happily carried the child over, like a treasure, and asked Wang Ping'an to see the child. The child also giggled at Wang Ping'an, not afraid of being alive, and was very cute.

Yang looked at the child and said, "You are quite strong. Your family is a good family, but does it have land? If you let this child join the army in the future, you may be a general or something!"

The shopkeeper's face turned dark. He was a businessman, and he only had such a small shop, so there was no land. If he had no land these days, he would not be a good family and would not be qualified to enter the Wei Mansion to have a meal at the official family.

Like a determination, the shopkeeper said, "When the villain saves more money, he has to buy a few acres of land. Even if he doesn't want to support his elderly care, he has to make a future for his grandson!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's spring now, the weather is getting cold and hot. This child is wearing less clothes, be careful not to catch a cold."

The daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "I'll roast him later, but I don't dare to let him cool down. He's the flesh of my parents-in-law!"

Wang Youcai smiled and said, "Whose children are all flesh in their hearts!" Looking at his son, when Wang Ping'an was a child, the couple took care of him ten times more carefully than this child.

Wang Ping'an took the child over, hugged him, and said, "There is no need to go to the fire. Well, he is quite heavy. You are very careful in raising him! My mother said just now that if he enters the Wei Mansion in the future, he might be a general or something. I hope so. By the way, what's your surname?"

The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "The villain's surname is rare, it's two words, Uncle Tai!"

Yang shook his head and said, "It's too much loss. This surname is not good. Why don't you change your surname and win too much? That's auspicious."

Wang Ping'an returned the child to the shopkeeper and smiled and said, "Mom, it's not the winner or loser, it's the uncle's uncle. This surname is very famous. It is said that he is a descendant of the Zhou royal family! I didn't expect that here, we actually met the descendants of the Emperor Zhou!"

He bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "Free respect, your ancestors are a great figure. They have been passed down for thousands of years and are a real aristocratic family!"

The shopkeeper was very happy. He always took pride in his surname. However, when others heard his surname, they always said that he was a Hu person and looked down upon him. Unexpectedly, Wang Ping'an actually directly revealed the origin of his surname today. How could he not be happy?

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The prince is indeed a scholar. Not only do he know the origin of the villain's surname, he also praises us as a noble family. In fact, no aristocratic family is as poor as us, and they all become businessmen! The villain only hopes that when his grandson grows up, he can shine his family and make my Taishu's family taller again."

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "That will definitely happen. This child's name needs to be better and meaningful. Let me think about it..."

Di Renjie said: "It's better to be tall and grand, it sounds bright!"

Wang Ping'an shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "I hope this child will achieve something in the future. Why not name it "Zheng Cheng"!"

The shopkeeper murmured: "It will be successful, there will be success! This name is good, this name is good!" He knelt down to Wang Ping'an with his child in his arms, thanked him loudly, and the whole family also came over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Ping'an, thanking him for naming the child.

Wang Ping'an quickly stood up and helped him, saying, "Don't do this, the courtesy is too heavy!" He helped the shopkeeper's family up.

If a child is named by Wang Ping'an in this era, it is equivalent to finding a backer. A few years later, if Wang Ping'an becomes the prime minister as the rumors, then the child will go to find a relationship. If there is any difficulty, Wang Ping'an can't help! Although the shopkeeper's business is not big, his investment vision is not low, and he can pave the way for the child in advance!

The child got his name, and the shopkeeper's family served him more attentively.

After a meal, Wang Ping'an went back to rest. He had been socializing a lot today and was very tired. He fell asleep shortly after ***. He heard something in front of him in his sleep. He didn't know who was busy with what, but no one came to him, so he didn't care and didn't get up and slept until early in the morning.

He slept well that night and woke up early. Before Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu came to serve him, he got up and dressed, left the room, and planned to wash his face by himself. But as soon as he opened the door, he was shocked and saw a group of people standing outside the door, including his guards and shopkeepers.

The shopkeeper was sad, while the guards all held their waists and refused to let him get close to the door. Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "No, this is a black store, and my people discovered it? This is not far from Chang'an, how could there be a black store? Moreover, the shopkeeper does not look like a bad person."

When the shopkeeper saw that Wang Ping'an had come out, he quickly knelt down. He said with a bitter face: "Prince, you have calculated it. The villain has been waiting for almost an hour!"

Wang Ping'an uttered and looked at his guard. The leader Hou Ling hurriedly said, "When he said the child at home was sick and wanted to ask you to see him, but when his subordinates saw that the master was tired, they asked him to wait here and wait for the master to get up before seeing his grandson."

Wang Ping'an's face darkened and said, "You are so ignorant. How can you delay the child gets sick? If you encounter such a thing in the future, no matter how late it is, no matter what I am doing, you must inform me immediately!" He stepped forward and helped the shopkeeper up and asked, "Where is the child? Take me to see him quickly."

The shopkeeper quickly agreed, got up, and took Wang Ping'an to the front yard, where they lived.

When we arrived at the shopkeeper's son's room, we saw that the family was in the room, guarding the child on the bed, and the young daughter-in-law was crying with tears on her face.
