Five days later.
Dafeng, Huailing Mansion.
The administrative region of Daning is divided by "states", while Dafeng is divided by "fu".
There is actually not much difference between the two, they are just called differently. Regardless of "state" or "fu", they are equivalent to a province in the previous life.
It has been nearly ten days since they left Yuanzhou. Wei Changtian and his party have finally passed through the inaccessible Gobi. The crowds gradually began to become denser wherever they passed.
"One to six."
"One to ten."
"A pair of guards."
"don't want."
"Three fives and one eight..."
There were sounds of fighting demons in the cars and sedans. The cards were bought two days ago when they passed through a county town, and the people playing cards were of course Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping and Youjia.
As for Li Wutong, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed...
Ever since Wei Changtian "spoke arrogantly" that night, she has been ignoring the three of them, especially towards Wei Changtian, who can be said to be very indifferent.
Wei Changcai didn't bother to explore the reason, and was more happy with the silence. He hadn't said a word to Li Wutong for two or three days in a row.
"Shunzi... Young Master, I won again."
Putting a stack of cards on the small table, Chu Xianping, as the "devil", had nothing in his hands.
Chu Xianping always won more than he lost in the past few days of poker, and he even won five games in a row just now, leaving no face for Wei Changtian, his "master".
"do not fight!"
Putting down the cards, Wei Changtian curled his lips and said "admonishment": "Brother Chu, playing cards is the same as being a human being. You must pay attention to personal feelings and sophistication."
"Be a human being and keep it in mind so that we can meet each other easily in the future. You are so unkind... doesn't that embarrass Miss You?"
"ah?"
You Jia was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled: "Sir, I clearly won two games just now."
"Ahem, that's what I meant."
Wei Changtian rubbed his nose and coughed awkwardly.
But Chu Xianping replied seriously at this time:
"Sir, you and I are enemies in the game of cards."
"Since we are enemies, how can we be so humane?"
"..."
Why are you so serious? !
Wei Changtian complained in his heart, but couldn't refute Chu Xianping, so he had to keep silent.
Looking away casually, he happened to notice the corners of Li Wutong's mouth that couldn't help but raise slightly.
Well, it seems that Princess Wu Ping is feeling comfortable now.
...
An hour later.
"Ta da, da da..."
The sound of horse hooves gradually subsided, and the hustle and bustle of the busy city outside the car became distant.
Several carriages slowly stopped in front of a large courtyard. In front of the door, there were already several men and women wearing brocade silk and satin waiting with their hands down.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Seeing Li Wutong get off the carriage, a group of people immediately knelt on the ground.
"Master Zhang, Madam, please get up quickly."
Li Wutong said "please get up quickly", but his expression was very calm. The majesty of the royal daughter was finally fully demonstrated at this moment.
"yes!"
After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another. The man and woman at the head looked at Wei Changtian who was getting out of the car after Li Wutong, and their eyes were a little surprised.
They knew that Li Wutong would bring a son from a Daning family with him when he returned to Beijing from the front line, and they even went out of their way to learn about Wei Changtian's various "glorious deeds".
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei actually rode in the same car with the princess.
"your Highness......"
Seeing that Li Wutong had no intention of saying anything, the two of them did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately bowed and got out of the way: "This humble house is really shabby. I hope you and Mr. Wei won't dislike it."
A humble house? Shabby?
Looking at the main house with its red balustrade and colorful sills and painted eaves, Wei Changtian thought to himself that this was too modest. At the same time, he followed Li Wutong, who suddenly became dignified, and walked into the courtyard.
"Master Wang, this is Young Master Wei of the Wei family in Daning."
As they walked, Li Wutong, who had not taken the initiative to talk to Wei Changtian for several days, suddenly turned around and introduced him actively: "Master Wei, this is the governor of Huailing Prefecture, Wang Qixing, Mr. Wang."
"Lord Wang."
Now that Li Wutong had introduced him, Wei Changtian couldn't remain silent, so he smiled and said politely, "Sorry for bothering you."
"Master Wei, what are you talking about!"
Wang Qixing immediately raised his hand and responded: "I have heard about the young master for a long time, and it is truly a blessing for me to meet him today!"
The governor of Dafeng is equivalent to the governor of Daning. He is in charge of the government affairs of the government and has the fourth rank of official worship.
Strictly speaking, such a high official does not need to call himself a "little man" in front of a young man from another country.
But Wang Qixing still said so.
On the one hand, this must have taken Li Wutong's face into consideration. On the other hand, it also shows that he should be the kind of officialdom veteran who is particularly good at "playing both sides."
As for whether Wei Changtian's personal charm is involved...if Wang Qixing is a woman, that is possible.
"Master Wang, you're welcome."
With another polite word, Wei Changtian smiled and stepped across the threshold, following the others and taking a seat in the main hall.
Li Wutong naturally sat in the first place, while Wei Changtian sat on the side facing east.
Although it was already dinner time, Wang Qixing must have already prepared the dinner.
However, eating as soon as you enter is undoubtedly too hasty, so you should sit down, talk for a while, and take a breath first.
Of course, many topics cannot be discussed in this situation, so most of the chatter is just nonsense.
Fortunately, Wang Qixing's experience was more than enough to cope with such a scene, and there was never a moment of silence.
Until Li Wutong suddenly seemed to remember something and asked with a smile:
"By the way, Mr. Wang, I wonder if Mr. Shen is still in Huailing now?"
"..."
The smile on his face suddenly froze for a moment. Wang Qixing lowered his head subconsciously, and then answered with a somewhat awkward expression:
"Back to Princess, I'm here."
"Then he is married now?"
"No, no..."
"Um."
Looking at the confused Wei Changtian with a half-smile, Li Wutong said: "Master Wang, since we happen to be in Huailing, I would like to meet Mr. Shen."
"..."
Wang Qixing suddenly raised his head, his eyes extremely surprised.
He was silent for a while, and then confirmed in a low voice: "Princess, you mean..."
"Master Wang, you heard correctly."
Li Wutong still had a smile on his face: "Just send someone to the Shen family and deliver my true words."
"Yes Yes......"
No matter how shocked he was, it was impossible for Wang Qixing to disobey Li Wutong's order.
He took a deep breath and said a few words to the housekeeper, who quickly left the house, and the atmosphere in the room began to become weird from this moment on.
Li Wutong was quite proud of himself, Wang Qixing looked embarrassed...and Wei Changtian, the monk Zhang Er, was confused.
By the way, who is this Mr. Shen?
Why is Wang Qixing's reaction so strange?
Why did Li Wutong ask Mr. Shen if he was married?
Also, what’s with that smug expression on her face? ? ?
hiss!
Could it be that......
