Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A few people walked and talked, and soon followed Wang An in front to a small courtyard. This should be the easternmost part of Taiyuan City. It was surrounded by some rickety houses, and some naked children were running around with thin faces.  There were dishes on the table, and occasionally a few adults passed by, all of whom were wearing very tattered clothes. Compared with their clothes, Wang An in front looked neater. It was obvious that this place should be a place similar to a slum.

    Wang An looks slovenly, but the yard where he lives appears to be very clean. A row of neat fences surrounds the entire yard, and a wooden gate faces the main house. The main house is a bit dilapidated, and the window paper on the windows is yellowed.  It looks like it hasn't been replaced in a long time.  To the east of the main house is a small thatched shed with a stove and some cooking utensils inside. Needless to say, it must be the kitchen.

    The entire yard is not large, but it has been fully utilized. The area next to the kitchen has been cultivated into several small vegetable plots. The weather is hot, and the vegetables inside are growing vigorously. They are green and look very pleasant.  The east side of the yard is relatively large, with bamboo racks set up to dry clothes, which are filled with washed clothes, sheets and other items.

    A middle-aged woman wearing a linen skirt was sitting under a big tree in front of the kitchen, using the shade of the tree to wash clothes hard. However, the clothes were of various kinds and did not look like they belonged to one family. From this, Li Min guessed that this  The woman was supposed to be a washerwoman, getting paid for cleaning other people's clothes.

    Wang An, smelling of alcohol, stumbled open the courtyard door and entered the courtyard carrying a food box.  The woman who was doing laundry looked up and saw Wang An, and immediately wiped her wet hands on her body.  At the same time, he quickly walked forward, supported Wang An who was unsteady on his feet, and said with an angry look on his face: "Husband, why do you drink so much wine again?"

    When the woman raised her head, Li Min, who was standing outside the hospital and looking at her, was stunned. This woman looked to be in her forties, although her face was full of vicissitudes of life.  However, her face is quite beautiful. It can be seen that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young. In addition, the other party's words and deeds are generous.  The shabby clothes still couldn't conceal the aura of wealth on his body.  Also, hearing her address to Wang An, could it be that she is really Wang Kuang's mother?

    Thinking of this, Li Min turned his head and looked at Wang Kuang.  The look on the woman's face made him more sure of his guess.  When Cui Yu saw Mrs. Wang, a look of respect filled her face.

    Mrs. Wang helped her husband sit down next to the small chair where she was doing laundry, took the food box and put it in the kitchen.  At this time, Wang An, who was sitting on the chair, was already snoring like thunder.  Mrs. Wang looked at her husband and smiled helplessly, turned around and entered the main room. After a while, she saw her struggling to move a bamboo bed out. Although the bamboo bed was not heavy, as a woman, she had inherent strength.  Small.  In addition, the bamboo bed with a small door was wide, so she tried several times but failed to move the bamboo bed out.

    Seeing this situation, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu seemed to have lost their previous concern and ran quickly into the yard to help.  By the time Li Min reacted and wanted to help, they had already helped Mrs. Wang move the bamboo bed out and helped Wang An lie down on the bamboo bed.

    Mrs. Wang was not surprised at all by the arrival of Wang Kuang and Cui Yu, and when she saw Li Min with guards behind her, the indifferent smile on her face immediately disappeared without a trace.  He turned to bow to Li Min with a solemn expression, and then said something that made him confused: "Ms. Wang Cui, a commoner woman, pays homage to His Highness King Qi and asks His Highness to forgive Kuang Er and the others for their crime of deception!"

    "Your Highness, please forgive me!" Wang Kuang and Cui Yu suddenly bowed and said, with a look of guilt on their faces.

    "Whatwhat's going on?" Li Min was not a fool. He immediately understood that Wang Kuang and the others were hiding something from him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't guess what the other party was hiding from him.

    Hearing Li Min's question, Mrs. Wang, who was standing at the front, showed a wry smile, stepped forward and bowed and replied: "Your Highness, you came to Taiyuan this time to recruit a husband. I just don't hide it from Your Highness. Then,  Although the three strategies came from her husband, he never thought of dedicating them to His Highness. The old woman made all the decisions. She couldn't bear to see her husband's talents buried, so she ordered Kuang'er and Yu'er to go to Dengzhou to deceive others.  Your Highness, I want you to come and meet the old woman¡¯s husband in person!¡±

    Li Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what the other party said. Wang Kuang and Cui Yu told him that someone offered them three strategies to temporarily alleviate the Tang Dynasty's manpower crisis. This made Li Min mistakenly think that the person who gave the advice wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.  , led himself to Taiyuan for an interview in person, and then took the opportunity to seek refuge.  But how could he have imagined that the person who gave the advice and the person who made the suggestion were not the same at all? Wang An didn't know that he was coming. No wonder Wang Kuang and Cui Yu didn't dare to step forward when they saw Wang An just now?  It turns out that there is such a reason, the real mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be this woman who makes a living by doing laundry!

    "Dian"??, after my father recovered from his illness, he had seen through everything in the world, and his previous ambitions had been reduced to ashes. In addition, the power of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes was so great that his own power was really insignificant, and among the clan members  The surveillance on his father has not been relaxed, making it impossible for him to even improve his life. In a depressed mood, he uses alcohol to anesthetize himself every day. However, fortunately, His Highness appeared and almost changed the entire society with his own efforts.  This made my father very excited, and he usually admired His Highness a lot. Although he did not clearly reveal his intention to assist His Highness, the villain believed that as long as His Highness sincerely invited his father, he would definitely not refuse!  "

    Wang Kuang turned his head and looked at his father who was sleeping soundly on the bamboo bed, and said with certainty.  As a son, seeing his father like this, and even his mother suffering along with him, he, the son, could not help at all. This made him suffer more than anyone else. Sometimes he really wanted to send the two elders out of Taiyuan at all costs.  They wanted to take good care of him, but Wang An and his wife didn't agree at all, because if they did so, not only would Wang Kuang's current status be in jeopardy, but they would even be suppressed and resented by the clan.

    "Mrs. Wang, Brother Wang, there is no need to explain anymore. I, Li Min, am not an ignorant person. For a great talent like Uncle Wang, let alone asking me to invite him personally, even if I only visit the thatched cottage three times, as long as I can invite him, it is worth it!  "The two women had already talked about this. Naturally, Li Min couldn't say anything more, so he had to speak magnanimously.

    Hearing that Li Min would not pursue the case, Mrs. Wang and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.  As the host, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked Li Min to sit down, and then asked Wang Kuang and Cui Yu to move into the house to move a bamboo table and several bamboo stools.  Originally, Wang An and his wife were poor and had nothing to entertain Li Min. Fortunately, Wang An brought a table of food and wine from the old prairie wine shop. Some of the fruits were used up, so they could just bring them out. Although these things were used  It was a bit shabby to entertain Li Min, but Mrs. Wang did not show the slightest embarrassment. Instead, she seemed very calm. Li Min was amazed by her demeanor.

    Li Min was sitting on the main seat, with Wang Kuang and Cui Yu on both sides. Mrs. Wang was sitting on the edge of the bamboo bed, fanning Wang An and listening to Li Min's chat.  Wang An was still sleeping. Wang Kuang originally wanted to wake his father up, but unfortunately he tried several times to no avail. According to Mrs. Wang, Wang An had to sleep for at least two hours once he was drunk. If Li Min couldn't wait, he would wake up.  She can go back first, and after Wang An wakes up, she can persuade him to visit her.

    Regarding Mrs. Wang's proposal, Li Min rejected it on the spot. It was a joke. Since he wanted to ask Wang An to help him, he had to show some minimum sincerity. If he couldn't even wait for this time, then why not?  What is sincerity?  It was with this thought in mind that Li Min decided to wait here for Wang An to wake up. Anyway, this was the person he came to Taiyuan for, and there was nothing to do when he returned.

    Since Li Min had to wait, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu naturally stayed with each other on both sides. Mrs. Wang was a female and could not serve at the table. She only sat and watched the three of them eating and talking. Occasionally, when Li Min asked her, she would speak up.  A few words.

    From the conversation, Li Min slowly learned that Mrs. Wang called herself the Wang Cui family just now, which gave Li Min some associations. Now it was finally confirmed that the other party was indeed the same as Cui Yu, and was born in the Cui family of Qinghe.  , and in terms of seniority, she and Cui Yu's father are cousins, that is, Cui Yu's aunt. The reason why Wang An patiently taught Cui Yu was because of Mrs. Wang.

    Speaking of Wang Cui, she is indeed a strange woman with single-mindedness. When Wang An went crazy and was kicked out of the house, not only did his biological father cut off relations with him, but even the young Wang Kuang was forced by his grandfather to marry him.  Wang An severed the relationship between father and son. As for Mrs. Wang who appeared in the Qinghe Cui family, Wang An's father originally wanted them to terminate their relationship as husband and wife and stay at home to focus on raising Wang Kuang. After all, Wang An was already crazy at that time, and he was  Being expelled from the family has every reason to disown this husband.

    But Mrs. Wang, who was only in her thirties at the time, rejected her father-in-law's kindness. She moved out of the Wang family mansion with her husband Wang An and personally took care of her crazy husband. Later, after the Wang family cut off the supply of the couple, the naturally stubborn Mrs. Wang  She did not ask for any help, but put down her status and went out to work to earn money to support her family. At that time, Cui's natal family couldn't stand it and wanted to take her away, but she preferred to die and even shared the property sent by her natal family.  The article is not accepted.

    This is not because Mrs. Wang has a stubborn temper, but because she is concerned about the reputation of her husband Wang An, because she is already a married daughter. If she continues to take money from her mother's family to support the family, although others will praise her, they will look down on Wang An as a man, and even  He would be regarded as a wife, which was one of the biggest insults to a man in the early Tang Dynasty.  Of course, because of Wang An's madness, his previous reputation has long been ruined. However, in Mrs. Wang's heart, her husband is still the man who cared about the country and the people. She cannot let her husband be let down just because of this little thing.  Shame!  (To be continued)
