Chapter 113 Wang An sits firmly on the Diaoyutai
Mrs. Wang didn't say much about how she brought her crazy husband over the years, and only took a few words. However, Li Yan was not a fool, and he could think with his toes that a wealthy young lady who was originally free from food and clothing suddenly fell to the clouds and became a laundry woman who was busy for three meals a day. The huge difference in her identity, as well as the teasing and insults from others, was enough to most people not bear it.
But the generous Mrs. Wang in front of her took on the burden of the family with her weak shoulders and walked over step by step with her crazy husband. She probably only knew how much suffering she suffered. It is probably because of this woman's strength that slowly moved God, which made Wang An's madness gradually improve.
After Wang An's mind returned to normal, after knowing that his beloved wife had done for him over the years, he was shocked and guilty, so he naturally cherished Mrs. Wang. Because of this, he almost obeyed Mrs. Wang's words, but he had already been discouraged by such a severe blow in his life. He just wanted to accompany his wife in the rest of his life. In addition, it would be best if he could pass on the theory of industry and commerce. If he could not, it wouldn't matter.
It was precisely with this idea that Wang An was excited when he learned what Li Yan did in the Tang Dynasty and felt that he had never met before. He even got drunk every time he heard the impact of what Li Yan did on the Tang Dynasty society. Unfortunately, he never thought of going out to help Li Yan. Of course, this was also related to his limitation of personal freedom. Without help, he would not be able to leave Taiyuan City at all.
Mrs. Wang is an extremely smart woman. After hearing what Li Yan did from her husband, she immediately understood one thing, that is, Li Yan, the King of Qi, is the person who can change the fate of her husband. Although she had never met Li Yan, she knew that what Li Yan did in Chang'an and Dengzhou was exactly what her husband pursued throughout her life. However, although this King of Qi was very talented, she was slightly insufficient in the overall situation. Her actions in business are all about one hammer and one hammer, and there was no systematic idea to guide her at all, and this was exactly what her husband was good at. If the two could work together, no one in the world could stop their great cause.
It was precisely with this idea that Mrs. Wang asked her son Wang Kuang to pay close attention to Li Yan's actions and wanted to find an opportunity to introduce her husband to him. A few months ago, they finally found an opportunity to find out that the five surnames and seven hopes were going to join forces to suppress industry and commerce. So Wang Kuang told his father about this and pretended to ask him for advice. Wang An didn't think much about it. After analyzing the matter, he came up with three more strategies.
Li Yan already knew what happened next. Mrs. Wang asked Wang Kuang and Cui Yu to Dengzhou to find Li Yan with three plans, so that he misunderstood that the person who made the plan wanted to see him, tricked Li Yan to Taiyuan, and then followed the plan he had made. He first took Li Yan to meet Wang An, and then introduced Wang An's original experience. After sucking Li Yan's appetite, Mrs. Wang, the real messenger behind the scenes, appeared.
Wang An and his wife were too heavy. Not only did Li Yan feel uncomfortable, but Mrs. Wang, as the person involved, was not willing to mention it. So after a rough understanding, Li Yan took the initiative to spread the topic and talk nonsense about astronomy and geography. Cui Yu and Wang Kuang were also knowledgeable people, and the three of them had a very lively chat. What made Li Yan even more moved and amazed was that Mrs. Wang's talent was not even under Wang. Cui. No matter what topic they talked about, as long as Li Yan asked, Mrs. Wang could always talk about a paragraph and sometimes put forward her own opinions. Obviously, she was also a person who was knowledgeable and remembered, which made Li Yan even more admired.
After talking until the sun sets west, Li Yan and others felt a little hungry. Originally, Li Yan wanted to send a guard to order a table of wine and food outside, and everyone talked while eating, but Mrs. Wang suddenly stood up and said, "Since your highness is a guest, how can you ask the guests to prepare the meal? Please wait, the old woman cooks a few side dishes in person, please don't dislike him!"
When Li Yan heard this, he nodded and agreed. In addition, he also found that Wang An and his wife were both people with strong self-esteem and must not show any pity, otherwise the other party would not only not be grateful, but also underestimated him.
Seeing Li Yan agreeing, Mrs. Wang should have gone to the small shed next to prepare the meal, but she suddenly said, "Kun'er, Yu'er, there are not many fresh vegetables at home, please follow me out and buy some back!"
When Li and the other two were stunned when they heard Mrs. Wang's words, because there was a vegetable field next to them, and the various vegetables inside were growing vigorously. How could there be no fresh vegetables? However, Li and Li responded quickly and looked at Wang An who was still lying on the bed and had a smile on his lips. Wang Kuang and Cui Yu were not stupid either. They quickly understood Mrs. Wang's intentions, and immediately stood up and followed Mrs. Wang out of the yard. Li and Li also asked his guard to wait outside the gate. No one was allowed to enter except Mrs. Wang who had just left.
After all the irrelevant people went out, Li Yan looked at Wang An who was pretending to be asleep on the bed with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not speak first, because he wanted to see how Wang An, who was praised by Wang Kuang, would resolve the current embarrassment?
However, what Li Yan didn't expect was that when there were only two of them in the yard, Wang An on the bamboo bed suddenly stopped snoring, opened his eyes and sat up, and then looked at Li Yan with the same expression. However, although he concealed it well, Li Yan, who was keen to observe, still found that a spark of excitement flashed in the deepest part of the other person's eyes.
"Your Highness King Qi is so patient! You are so good at learning!" After a while, Wang An suddenly praised in a hoarse voice, and his appreciation for Li Yan was undoubtedly revealed. In fact, he had been awake for a while, but when he heard Li Yan talking loudly, Wang An wanted to know more about Li Yan, so he kept pretending to be asleep. Mrs. Wang, who is most familiar with him, could naturally see that her husband woke up, but he didn't say anything. Until Wang An hinted that his wife wanted to talk to Li Yan alone, Mrs. Wang took both Wang Kuang and Cui Yu out.
"Where is where? Mr. Wang's move is firmly sitting on Diaoyutai, which really makes the younger generation admire! Admiration!" Only the two of them were left, Li Yan was too lazy to act again, and directly exposed Wang An's tricks.
"Hahahaha~, Your Highness King of Qi is indeed extremely intelligent. No one can see through what Wang thought he was doing. Even his wife and Kuang'er were kept in the dark. Unexpectedly, he could not hide it from His Highness King of Qi. He is indeed someone worthy of my Wang An's follow!" His rebuttal was exposed by Li Yan. Wang An was happy instead of anger, and praised with a loud laugh, and at the same time he said bluntly that he wanted to follow Li Yan.
Looking at Wang An who was showing his madness, Li Yan also had a smile on his lips. Compared with Wang An described by Wang Kuang and others just now, the real Wang An was the one in front of him.
Mrs. Wang and the others just said that Wang An was not aware of what Li Yan was about to come, and everything was planned by Mrs. Wang. However, Li Yan immediately discovered that there was another possibility of this matter, that is, the extremely smart Wang An deliberately set up a bureau, first showing his appreciation for himself, and then accurately, Mrs. Wang did not want to see his talent buried, and would definitely find a way to contact him through Wang Kuang. He just sat at home and waited for Li Yan, the big fish, to come to his door in person.
The reason why Wang An went around such a big circle was that he was just to raise his identity. It was useless to brag himself, and he could only rely on other people's words to publicize it. However, Wang An had a special identity and only had contact with his wife, son and Cui Yu. If he deliberately asked them to promote it, the effect would be bad. So he thought of such a clever way to let them spread their reputation to Li Yan without knowing it, try to raise their value as much as possible, and make Li Yan pay more attention to him. But he didn't expect that he would still be seen through by the other party at a glance.
Both of them are smart people, and it is useless to know that any tricks are used, so they simply put aside their disguise and intend to talk openly. Li Yan took the lead and asked: "Mr. Wang, you also know why I came here, but I don't know what to do?"
When Wang An heard Li Yan's recruitment, of course Wang An couldn't help. He tried his best to attract Li Yan, just to show his strengths? As for Wang Kuang's words, he was just made for others to see. People like Wang An who are extremely tenacious will never give up their ideals easily unless they die.
However, although Wang An agreed in his heart, he did not immediately answer Li Yan. Instead, hesitated for a moment before asking back: "Your Highness, do you know that your situation is already in a lot of crisis, and you may even fall into the abyss if you are not careful?"
When Li Yan heard this unexpected question, his face showed a strange look. He didn't understand why the other party suddenly said that he was in danger? Could it be that he just refers to the suppression of industry and commerce by the five surnames Qi Wang? But he was fully prepared for this matter, and the other party could not do anything to him at all?
"Your Highness, what I am talking about is the five surnames and seven hopes. These aristocratic families are in absent-minded and do not understand the way of changing the world. They just blindly hold the old trick of saints and family blood. Even if they can be proud for a while, they will sooner or later be crushed by the changing world trend. What's more, there is the momentum of industrial and commercial development created by Your Highness. It would be fine if they didn't know how to adapt, but they even tried to stop them. They were simply ignorant of life and death!" When Wang An talked about the five surnames and seven hopes, he looked contempt. If they hadn't joined hands to conquer their own industrial and commercial theory back then, he would not have ended up crazy for several years. Therefore, no matter how open-minded he was, he would not have even had a slight favor for these aristocratic families.
"Oh, what's that?" Li Yan thought about it carefully and found that his situation is very good now. There seems to be nothing that can make him feel dangerous? (To be continued...)
