Chapter 611 Gyeongju Governor's Office

Huang Xiaoya whispered, feeling aggrieved, and said, "Don't I want to serve the master? How could she serve a commanding woman? Why should that Yang Chunhua be my lady?"

"Just rely on the old lady's order!" Ouyang Li glared at the eyes and said, "Look at you being clumsy, I don't know if you can serve Miss Yang well. This is your contract as a girl, please press a handprint!" He took out a contract, but the ink trace was not dry, and it was obvious that it was just written.

Huang Xiaoya was disappointed. After working on it for a long time, she actually acted as a maid for the maid... No, she should be a maid for the maid, so it would be better to serve the maid!

She pressed a handprint on the contract with grievance and said, "Actually, I am very capable of working, and it is the most suitable for serving the master. Besides, Yang Chunhua's child is almost born. At such an old age, how can she still call her a lady!"

Ouyang Li closed the contract and smiled and said, "It's not very simple for the master to sentence her to regain her freedom. She doesn't have a husband, so what's the point of calling her "Miss"?" As he said that, he turned around and said, "Bao Lao, are you right?"

Ouyang Ba stood behind him and laughed, "That's right, that's right!" A few days ago, he pretended to be Wu Meiniang's husband and beat up the prodigal son, but now he has completely changed his appearance and has become a heroic young general with a completely different accent. If you want to recognize him as the "evil man of Mei", unless others have the keen eyes like Sun Wukong.

When Ouyang Ba was doing evil, Huang Xiaoya was not in a hurry to hide and never approached her. She hid far away at that time. Now that she was asked to recognize people, she certainly couldn't recognize them, and she didn't even feel familiar.

Huang Xiaoya was not interested in Yang Chunhua. She was still trying hard to seize the opportunity and tried hard to promote herself, saying, "I am really capable of working. I am so diligent, so let me serve the master!"

Ouyang Li ignored her and turned around and left. Ouyang Ba said, "I'm going to give it back to me, you're going to call yourself a slave now. Do you want to serve your master? Hey, look over there and see who is inside?" As he said that, he pointed to the main hall, where the Wang couple were talking, but Wang Ping'an was not there, and there were two little girls serving him in the hall.

Huang Xiaoya said: "There are the old man, the old lady, and two ladies, a total of four people."

Ouyang Ba smiled and said, "It's great to calculate, you can tell the difference between the third and fourth. Those two are not ladies, they are the maids who serve the master. Just you, just serve Yang Chunhua, this is all a compliment!" After that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Huang Xiaoya looked at Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu in the hall like she was struck by lightning. Are these two maids? They are even more maids than the eldest lady of Qingzhou!

When the temple fair was held in Qingzhou City, she and her mother and sister went to join in the fun, saw what the rich lady was, and heard her mother talk about the scenery of her family in the past. However, no matter how many lady she had seen or how glorious her family was, everything was not as good as the two maids in the house!

Standing blankly at the door of the room, Huang Xiaoya was still motionless. She was still excited. When could she be like a maid to be in the house?

In the wing room, there was no light in the room. Wang Ping'an and Wu Meiniang stood in the darkness and whispered.

Wang Ping'an said: "Chunhua, I will call you that from now on. After entering the city, I plan to arrange for you to live outside the governor's mansion and let you be a scrubber. What do you think?"

A scrubber is a servant who specializes in washing clothes for his master. It is the lowest and most difficult, but the advantage is that he can not contact others and is busy all day long. He has no time to contact others, and others will not pay attention to a scrubber.

Wu Meiniang nodded softly and said, "What's the job that Huang Xiaoya can do? This girl is very smart and powerful. It's best to use such a person!"

Wang Ping'an laughed twice. Wu Meiniang is the best at taking advantage of other people's weaknesses. Huang Xiaoya's life will not be very good in the future. He said: "Okay, I will have someone take good care of you. The matter has been settled so far, so just don't worry from now on!"

After a while of silence in the room, Wu Meiniang suddenly said, "Uncle, is I really a boy? If I were a daughter, it would be bad. The prince may not recognize him!"

Wang Ping'an said straightforwardly: "It must be a boy, this is certain. If you are worried that it is a girl, it doesn't matter. I will raise you when I am born. Don't worry, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, the prince will recognize him. I know him the most."

Wu Meiniang said again: "I'm afraid he will forget us, mother and mother. There are so many women in the palace, all of whom are younger and more beautiful than me. How can the prince remember me!"

Wang Ping'an said: "I will remind him all the time, so just relax! Also, don't think about these things all day long. Why worry about things that have not happened yet? If you worry all day long, it will be bad for your child!"

Wu Meiniang said, and she really didn't dare to sigh anymore. She was afraid that something would happen to her child. She would be happy for the rest of her life, but she was all counting on the children in her belly!

Wang Ping'an said: "You go back and have a good rest. We will enter the city tomorrow."

Wu Meiniang blessed him, opened the door and looked out, then went out and went back to her room. When she walked to her door, she saw Huang Xiaoya standing blankly outside the door. She said, "Madam, please send someone to notify you. You have to continue calling Huang Xiaoya and serve me in the future!" As she said that, she entered the room.

Huang Xiaoya came to her senses, lowered her head and went in with her, and whispered: "Little...sister. Oh, can you not call you Miss, Aunt Yang? Can you?"

Wu Meiniang looked at her and smiled and said, "Okay, then call me Aunt Yang. You will go into the city with me tomorrow, and live in the city from now on. Go back and say goodbye to your parents. I won't have to serve me tonight!"

Huang Xiaoya thought for a while and asked again: "Aunt Yang, if I serve you well, would you tell the old lady, transfer me away and serve the master?"

Wu Meiniang smiled gently and said, "Yes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. I naturally hope you can become a big maid. You can learn more from the two maids of the master."

Huang Xiaoya was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Aunt Yang, then I'll go back and clean up, let's go on the road together tomorrow." After that, she ran out of the room.

When she arrived in the yard, she looked at the main hall again and saw that the old man and his wife had left, but the two maids who looked like ladies did not leave. One was carrying a book and the other was fiddling with the jade bracelet in his hand under the candle!

Huang Xiaoya immediately set a great ambition in her heart and must become an outstanding maid, just like the two in the hall. She envied for a while before she returned to her own yard. But she couldn't bear it in her heart and wondered, she didn't recognize the two maids and thought they were young ladies, but why did Aunt Yang recognize her? Could she be a fool or really from a wealthy family?

After finishing the most important thing in Qingzhou, Wang Ping'an's family felt relieved and went to bed to rest without saying a word overnight.

The next morning, Huang Xiaoya brought a small bag to find Wu Meiniang. The two of them set off with the Wang family brigade and rushed to Qingzhou.

If you talk about the prosperity of Gyeongju, it cannot be compared with the Gyeonggi area, even Xuzhou cannot compare. Moreover, there is no place name Gyeongju in modern times, but there is one on the Korean Peninsula.

From foreign countries to Chang'an, Qingzhou is not a necessary path. Hu people from the Western Regions often go to the front line of Lanzhou, while Hu people from the east often go to the front line of Jinzhou. Qingzhou does not rely on the east or west, so in this era, business was not developed and business was not alive, so it was relatively poor here.

The Tang Dynasty did not say that vertical distance was calculated, but the distance was calculated by the road being built. If Qingzhou is not very far from Chang'an, the vertical distance is definitely not a thousand miles, but if you want to go around, you will not have to walk for more than half a month. If this was in the late Tang Dynasty and the road was built during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the distance of the road would become closer, at least you don't have to go around!

If a region is not developed, you can guess a rough idea by looking at the road. The road from Chang'an to Qingzhou is far away, which itself shows that Qingzhou is not a prosperous place.

Wang Ping'an and his group rode horses and drove quickly. After noon, they saw the city walls of Qingzhou from afar and arrived at the place.

In the direction of Qingzhou, a fast horse was coming. A lieutenant immediately rushed forward. The lieutenant dismounted and saluted, asking, "Is it that you are the prince, Lord Di and Lord Qiu?"

Ouyang Li jumped out of the horse and said with a smile: "Person Chen, why don't you recognize this general?"

Master Chen was just a county soldier officer, and he was incomparable to a general like Ouyang Li. When he saw Ouyang Li, he quickly smiled and said, "General Ouyang, you are here too! I don't know which prince is the prince, and the last general is polite!"

As he said that, he lay on the ground and kowtowed. After kowtowing Wang Ping'an, he kowtowed Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan, and he did not dare to pull down any of them. As the saying goes, the emperor will be the same in the local area. If the governor and the county magistrate, it is still not a matter of whether he will continue to be the captain of the county soldiers. How can he not be in a hurry to curry favor with him?

Ouyang Li had already arrived in Qingzhou and had done all the procedures almost complete. He just waited for Ping An to take over the seal. Even if he officially took office, he had met this Chief Chen.

Ouyang pointed to the front with a horse whip and said, "Is Chief Ji coming out to greet me?"

Chen Zhengwei hurriedly said, "Yes, it's the governor Ji who brought officials from all the state to welcome the princes and the lords. According to the regulations of the court, the handover of the seal only takes place in the governor's mansion. However, Lord Ji has long heard of the prince's reputation, so he made an exception to welcome three miles away, set up a colored shed, and waited in front!"

Ouyang Li waved his hand imposingly and said, "Lead the way!"

Captain Chen immediately got on his horse and trotted along the road. He didn't need to take any way to get here. He just ran back to tell Governor Ji that Wang Ping'an had arrived!

Not long after walking forward, the sound of gongs and drums began to ring, and hundreds of people came up to us. A large group of officials in green uniforms were led by an old white-bearded official. The officials were followed by the people, either local elders or well-known figures in Qingzhou, with the great merchant Jin Sanquan also among them.

Jin Sanquan has received favors from Wang Ping'an, but he cannot welcome him in advance. He cannot surpass the local governor. Even if he is about to step down, he cannot surpass the governor. Officials are officials, and the people are people. Everything must be first for officials. Of course, it is only limited to good things and officials who are officials. Bad things must be first for the people who are the people. We must give them a chance, and we cannot give them no chance at all!

From a distance, Governor Ji saw a long queue of chariots and horses coming on the road. Not only were the big chariots long, but there were even as many guards and generals accompanying him, with shiny armor and complete swords and axes!

Governor Ji turned to the chief and said, "We have fewer people. If we had known that the prince had such a big show, we would have to recruit thousands of people, otherwise we would not be able to reflect the meaning of respecting Shangguan!"

The chief sighed, "Yes, it's also a fault for General Ouyang. He didn't say it clearly. Who would have thought that the governor would come with his army when he took office!"

He said this, but he thought to himself: "Mr. Ji, you are going to step down and return to your hometown, but we still have to do it here. If you don't flatter enough, you will probably implicate us!"

Before the convoy was approaching, Governor Ji, no matter how old he was, his legs and feet were not smooth, actually jogged over and waved, "Prince, Prince, Lord, I finally hope for you!"

Wang Ping'an saw Governor Ji immediately and recognized the man from his official uniform as Governor, thinking to himself: "Don't run away, you're so old, be careful to fall!"

He jumped off the horse, strode forward, and bowed: "Mr. Ji, I have long admired Daming. I have been lucky enough to meet you today!"

"The same is true for the officials, and so for the officials!" Governor Ji ran to the front, saluted first, then grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand and said, "Prince, you have finally arrived. The officials can finally take off this burden!"

Wang Ping'an said, thinking, "How come he said this? Could it be that there is something wrong in Qingzhou that he can't solve it, so he threw the burden to me?"

Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan also dismounted and stepped forward to greet the governor Ji. The officials from the Qingzhou area behind also arrived, and they all saw each other, asking about their hometowns, and asking about their surnames and relatives. After a long time of chaos, they finally calmed down a little.

Governor Ji introduced Wang Ping'an. In addition to him, Qingzhou officials respected the chief ministers, and the chief ministers were named Che Sitong. In terms of military generals, they were the chief servant Chen who was rushing to flatter him.

After a while of greetings, the convoy entered the city and headed straight to the governor's mansion.

After entering the city gate, Wang Ping'an frowned and saw that the houses on both sides of the street were still neat, but they were only limited to houses facing the street. Looking down the intersection to the back houses, they were low and dilapidated. It seems that the lives of the people of Qingzhou are not very prosperous!

Qingzhou City is actually Heshui County. It is the prefecture's capital. The specifications are not high, so the city is naturally not much larger. After only a short while of travel, we arrived at the governor's mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wang Ping'an felt a little cold and saw that the governor's mansion was quite magnificent, just opposite to the house he just saw!
Chapter completed!
