Chapter 496: The all-round talent of civil and military affairs, Wang Fangyi
The carriage stopped in front of the palace, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang got down from the car hand in hand, and then looked up at the gate of the palace that had been hung with white silk, and couldn't help but glance at each other a little heavily, after receiving the bad news of this little lady of the Wang family, Li Xiu finally decided to visit, after all, Xuanzang was not there, and he was also a friend.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties walking up quickly, and when he saw the couple of them, he immediately saluted and said, "Xiaguan Wang Renbiao, meet the princess and the concubine!" ”
"Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite, you are still my cousin with the princess, we are all a family, today I and the princess suddenly heard the bad news, and our hearts are also sad, so I am here to condole!" Li Xiu also said very politely at this time, and at the same time, he was also looking at Wang Renbiao, only to see that the other party was of medium stature, with upright facial features and a righteous face, and he looked like a rather square person.
Hearing that Li Xiu was so polite to himself, and even called himself a cousin, this made Wang Renbiao also a little flattered, you must know that he is just an inconspicuous petty official in Chang'an City, although he is nominally the son of the eldest princess of An, but this identity not only did not bring him benefits, but also made him restrained everywhere, and Li Xiu is the first-class prince of the Tang Dynasty, and has an excellent personal relationship with Li Shimin, and his identity can be compared with the eldest grandson Wuji, such a person is simply the difference between heaven and earth compared to him, so he felt a little panicked for a while.
"Cousin Wang, when I was playing, I had a relationship with Qianniang in the temple, and later I learned that she was actually the daughter of Cousin Wang, and she was also my niece, but I didn't expect her to die prematurely, which is really heart-wrenching, so I took the liberty to come with the horse, and I hope that Cousin Wang will not be surprised!" Princess Pingyang also spoke softly at this time.
The matter between Xuanzang and Qianniang cannot be exposed, so that Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu must have a legitimate reason to come to mourn, if you only rely on the unreliable cousin relationship between Princess Pingyang and Wang Renbiao, it will definitely not work, so before coming, Li Xiu specially told Princess Pingyang to tell this little lie, anyway, Qianniang is no longer there, Princess Pingyang can say anything, and Wang Renbiao will not be held accountable for such a trivial matter.
Sure enough, when he heard that Princess Pingyang had seen his daughter before, Wang Renbiao couldn't help but feel sad, and tears poured out again, but he quickly reacted, wiped his tears at the moment, and said to Li Xiu with a forced smile: "Don't blame the horse and the princess, the little girl left suddenly, and the lower officials were also grief-stricken, it's really a bit rude, please come in, two of you!" ”
At the moment, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang accompanied Wang Renbiao into the mansion, because Qianniang did not go out of the pavilion, so the mourning hall was set up in the inner house, and when they came to the mourning hall, they saw a woman holding a boy, who was crying in front of the spirit.
Li Xiu and his wife were the first and only guests who came to mourn, but this was enough, at the moment Li Xiu asked people to send a quilt to the deceased, which was also the rule of condolence, and then the couple stood in front of the spirit of the shallow mother and saluted, and Wang Li next to him cried again, Wang Renbiao secretly wiped his tears, but the boy named Yi'er stood there at a loss.
After saluting, Princess Pingyang stepped forward to help Wang Li up, and then whispered comfort, while Li Xiu came to Wang Ren to comfort each other a few words, but the first time the two met, there was really nothing to say, but Princess Pingyang and Wang Li were both women, and they were both mothers, so there was a natural topic.
However, Li Xiu also quickly found the topic, because he found that the boy next to Wang Renbiao was looking at him with big eyes, Li Xiu has always been a person who likes children, otherwise there would not be so many students at home, so at this time he smiled and leaned over and said, "What is your name, child, how old are you?" ”
"I ...... My name is Yi'er and I'm three years old! The little guy was a little nervous at first, but seeing Li Xiu's smile was very gentle, he also mustered up the courage to say at the moment.
"Silly boy, when the colt asks you for your name, you have to answer your full name!" Wang Renbiao couldn't help but caress the top of his son's head a little doting when he heard this, his daughter died, and he only had such a son left, but whenever he saw his son, he couldn't help but think of the happy scene of the family when his daughter was alive, which also made him sigh again.
Hearing his father's words, the little guy showed a sudden expression, then turned his head to look at Li Xiu and spoke again: "My name is Wang Fangyi, is the horse your name?" ”
Hearing the question behind the little guy, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile dumbly: "The horse is not my name, I am the princess's husband, and the princess's husband is the horse, which can be regarded as an official position, wait, your name is Wang Fangyi?" ”
However, when Li Xiu said the end, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then looked at the child with an incredulous expression, he only knew in advance that Wang Renbiao also had a son, but he didn't know that his son's name was Wang Fangyi.
"Yes, the child's name was taken by my father himself, does the colt think there is anything wrong with the child's name?" Seeing Li Xiu's surprised look, Wang Renbiao couldn't help but ask worriedly, according to Feng Shui, a person's name has a great impact on people's fate, Wang Renbiao regarded his son as the only hope after his daughter's death, so seeing Li Xiu's face change greatly when he heard his son's name, this also made him worried.
"Brother Wang misunderstood, there is nothing wrong with Fang Yi's name, it's just that I used to have a friend who also called this name, so I was a little surprised for a while!" At that moment, Li Xiu hurriedly covered up.
Of course, Li Xiu will not tell Wang Renbiao that his son Wang Fangyi will be a pivotal figure in the Tang Gaozong period, although this person may not be so famous in history, but Wang Fangyi is a civil and military all-rounder, he can benefit the people when he is a magistrate, and even invented his own agricultural tools, and can resist foreign enemies when he is a general.
It's just that Wang Fangyi's background affected him, not only because of the relationship between their father and son and the eldest princess of Tong'an, but most importantly, he also had a cousin, who was married to the queen Wang of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, but later Queen Wang died tragically at the hands of Wu Zetian, Wang Fangyi was also affected, and was finally exiled to Yazhou and died of depression.
Thinking of Wang Fangyi's life in history, and then looking at the boy in front of him who was only three years old, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh a little, but then he suddenly thought of another thing, and he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Wang Renbiao, because he thought that in the original history, Wang Fangyi lost his father at a young age, so Wang Renbiao may not die soon.
"Husband, let's pay homage to the remains of Qianniang!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Princess Pingyang come over and softly interrupted Li Xiu's contemplation, which is also one of the processes of condolence.
Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, of course, he glanced at Wang Renbiao and Wang Fangyi's father and son again, and then walked into the spirit with Princess Pingyang, only to see a delicate coffin parked inside, the coffin was not covered, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang came closer, and saw a young girl lying inside.
I saw that the other party was only seventeen or eighteen years old, even if the skin had lost its blood color, it still looked quite beautiful, and what was even more shocking was that I saw that Qianniang's eyebrows were serene, and even the corners of her mouth seemed to have a faint smile, as if she didn't feel any pain before she died, but it was like falling asleep.
"Woo woo woo~, slave maid to meet the pony and princess!" At this moment, I saw a maid next to the coffin suddenly stepped forward to salute Li Xiu and said, it was Fuqin who often went to Li Xiu's mansion before, she was the personal maid of Qianniang, even if Qianniang had passed away, she would guard next to the coffin, which was also her own request, speaking of which, her parents died early, and she grew up with Qianniang since she was a child, and the relationship between the two is closer than ordinary sisters.
"Don't be polite, your lady has passed away, don't be too sad about Fuqin!" Li Xiu saw Fuqin's crying and sobbing appearance, and he couldn't help but feel a sour persuasion in his heart at the moment.
Wang Renbiao next to him saw that Li Xiu actually knew the maid next to his daughter, and he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, but on this occasion, he couldn't ask questions, so he could only bury this question in his heart, and planned to ask Fuqin after Li Xiu left.
Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang admired the remains of Qianniang, and then they went out of the mourning hall, and then accompanied Wang Renbiao and his wife to talk, and then they were ready to say goodbye and leave, but when they left, Fuqin quietly followed Li Xiu, and then took advantage of Wang Renbiao's inattention when he and his wife were not paying attention, and bowed deeply to him and said: "Thank you for the letter from the horse, my lady is very happy after reading the letter, even ...... Even when he left, he was smiling and walking very peacefully! ”
"You're welcome, Xuanzang is my friend, and you should help him, but your lady is gone, do you have any plans in the future?" Li Xiu said with some concern at this time, compared to that shallow lady, he had more contact with Fuqin, so he was also very concerned about her future fate.
"Thank you for your concern, when the lady left, she specially told the slave to take care of the little son, and the old lady also agreed, let me be the maid of the son!" Fuqin said with a gloomy expression at this time, she was just a little maid, and she didn't have any long-term plans at all, but the palace treated her well, so she also obeyed the arrangement of the palace.
"That's fine, I think that although your little son is young, he is extremely smart, and his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to me!" Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, but when he said the end, he suddenly thought of Wang Renbiao's fate in history, which made him sigh, he didn't even know how Wang Renbiao died, even if he wanted to save it, he was probably powerless.
