Chapter 49 The next strategy
"But father..."
Wang Qing wanted to say something more, but the old man raised his hand to interrupt him again. After heaving a sigh of relief, his serious expression gradually softened, and he said seriously: "Yu Nian (Wang Qing's word), you have regained your strength."
The Wang family's intentions are good, but after all, he is still too young and does things without consideration. Although this person has some talents, it is still difficult for him to be a gentleman based on his life background. Why do we, the Wang family, have to be so self-deprecating? We only need to give him some
A small profit can make him feel grateful and willing to work as an ox or horse for the Wang family."
"What my father said is absolutely true, but I'm afraid this method won't work on this person."
Wang Qing hesitated to speak.
"Why is this?"
The old man asked strangely.
"What my father doesn't know is that this man is now a Sima in the army. His rank is almost the same as that of his son. It is impossible for the Wang family to give him more in this regard."
Wang Qing said, "The only good thing is that this person has not yet been reused. He is just an unworthy Sima of the Hu army and has no actual military power in his hands."
"The Hu army?"
The old man looked puzzled.
"It makes sense that my father has never heard of it. The Yi army just returned to Chenliu two days ago. It is just a remnant army with less than a hundred people. Judging from the name, it should be just a group of craftsmen who make pottery gui for the army.
, not only could not get into the eyes of my father, but many nobles in the city did not take this remnant army seriously at all. The only thing they cared about was that Cao Mengde's nephew Cao Anmin actually became the captain of this remnant army."
Wang Qing introduced it carefully.
"Today's world is really in chaos. A remnant army of a hundred people also has a captain, Sima. Then Cao Mengde really doesn't know what to say."
The old man shook his head and sighed, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"What my father said is that it is precisely because of this that I want to recruit this person. This person has extraordinary talents and is already in the Sima position. Even if he is not appreciated by Cao Mengde for the time being, he has gained the trust of Cao Anmin, and I am afraid he will be promoted to a higher position in the future.
He has left, and our Wang family now has no power in our hands to help him advance further. If we want to recruit him, we have only two options: giving him gifts and getting married."
Wang Qing continued, "But in my opinion, giving gifts is always the last resort. It just so happens that no one is willing to marry my little sister. Instead of staying at home and dying alone, it is better to give this person an advantage, which can also alleviate the loneliness in my little sister's heart...
Please rest assured, father. I have thought carefully about it. Even if my little sister marries this man, I will definitely not make a big fuss about it. My little sister’s body is even more incapable of giving birth to a hybrid. After the marriage, as long as I teach my little sister to still live at home, she will naturally not
By spreading the word, our Wang family will not lose face, and we will also gain the support of a foreigner. Wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?"
"this……"
After listening to Wang Qing's words, the old man finally felt a little shaken and showed hesitation on his face.
"Father, my Wang family has been so prosperous, is it possible that my father is willing to be trapped in this small Chenliu County, relying on a few small salt shops to survive?"
Wang Qing bowed down and persuaded him earnestly.
"Although what you said makes some sense, geniuses are just a minor after all. It's still unclear how they can help my Wang family."
The old man thought for a moment, and finally frowned and said, "Therefore, I still disagree with this matter, and I will not be so shameless as to force this matter on Ping'er, but... I don't object either. If you really want to do this, just ask Ping'er to meet with this person.
As above, if Ping'er agrees, then I'll do as you say, but if Ping'er doesn't agree, drop the matter immediately and don't need to mention it again!"
"All right."
Wang Qing reluctantly responded and quietly retreated.
…
During the banquet.
"Please drink this cup to the full!"
Wang Qing greeted Wu Liang warmly and drank several drinks in a row. While drinking, he kept peeking out of the door, as if waiting for something.
"please."
Wu Liang naturally noticed this detail, but he was not worried.
He had no enmity with Wang Qing, and he had an official position in the army, so Wang Qing had no reason to harm him.
As for other things, it's just a matter of soldiers coming to cover up the water and earth, so don't take it too seriously.
After drinking this glass of wine and eating two more bites of food, there was finally a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Wu Liang looked around and saw a young woman with delicate makeup.
This woman is not very tall, probably less than 1.6 meters tall.
In terms of appearance, excluding the "Oriental disguise" and the luxurious clothes, it is relatively average, and it is still a bit worse than Wu Liang's ten "beauties" who did not apply makeup.
If I have to say what advantages she has, the only thing left is her mature temperament...
It is true that she is a little bigger than her beauty, but it is only a little, and it does not give people a shocking feeling. Moreover, if the so-called "maturity" is understood in another direction, it can also be said to be "looking older".
In short, this woman is not Wu Liang's type. He still prefers the feeling of "childhood sweetheart".
Wait a moment.
Thinking of this, Wu Liang suddenly realized something.
Wang Qing has been writing here for a long time, maybe he is just waiting for this woman. What does this mean?
"My dear brother, this is my little sister, my name is Wang Ping, and she is currently waiting to be named in the boudoir."
Wang Qing introduced Wu Liang to Wu Liang in time, but deliberately concealed the fact that he was not married and could not have children. He said with a smile, "Little sister, you came at the right time. My talented brother has helped me a lot today, so you come to pay my respects."
One cup for him."
When Wang Ping first came in, she noticed the linen clothes on Wu Liang's body, and an imperceptible suspicion flashed in her eyes.
However, she still took a glass of wine from Wang Qing. Shi Shiran came to Wu Liang and asked with a smile: "Isn't the young master from Chenliu County?"
Wu Liang stood up and replied: "I am from Leling, Pingyuan."
"Is there anyone in your ancestors who has entered the imperial court and served as a scholar?"
Wang Ping asked again.
"Never."
Wu Liang answered again.
"So……"
Wang Ping finally frowned slightly and asked patiently, "Does your family have any property in Leling?"
"No, I'm alone."
Wu Liang now fully understood Wang Qing's purpose in inviting him back.
This bastard is actually coveting his body. Unfortunately, I used you as a stepping stone to enter Chenliu. You are despicable. With your beauty, I would rather die than obey!
As a result, before he could say anything, he saw that Wang Ping had an angry look on her face. She tilted the wine glass in her hand and spilled all the wine on the ground. Then, without even looking at Wu Liang, she turned around and walked towards the angry outside of the hall.
He walked away, trembling with anger and yelling at the same time: "Wang Yunian, I think you are deceived by lard and have treated your own sister like this. I'm going to talk to my father to reason with you!"
reality!
So true!
Seeing this, Wu Liang was secretly happy. He was so reflective that he could not say anything else.
As for whether I have been looked down upon, it doesn't matter at all. I am a small Wang family and a plain-looking woman. Please don't look down on me. I really don't want to belittle myself.
"Uh...hehe, my little sister has been spoiled by my father. Please don't take it to heart, dear brother."
Wang Qing could only respond with an embarrassed smile.
Chapter completed!
