Chapter 216 The Wife and Concubine Confess
The communication with Huan Wen was quite pleasant. After saying goodbye, Wang Ningzhi went to Wang Xun. There were rain, Wang Xun, Xie Xuan, Xi Chao and others drinking and talking about interesting stories in the past, and saying something interesting about the past, which was not bad.
However, the identities of the four people are different from those of ordinary people after all. As they talk, they talk about the government.
Obviously, Wang Xun and the others also agreed to the Northern Expedition. After all, becoming Huan Wen’s aides, they all suffered losses. Moreover, the north is now in chaos, which is a good time for the Northern Expedition. The men here have been holding back for a long time. Using war to relieve their muscles and bones is the specialty of Xi Chao and others.
So Wang Ningzhi's identity is a bit important.
At the beginning, the court did not allow Huan Wen to fight the Northern Expedition, but it was difficult to offend him to death. He could only give some more benefits. Therefore, he was granted Huan Wen as the governor of Yangzhou and recorded the ministerial affairs. However, Huan Wen was not easy to deal with him. He knew that once he was over, he would be under the control of the court. Therefore, he stationed in Zheqi and submitted a letter to resign from the position of Recording Shangshu and was willing to take over the governor of Yangzhou from afar.
And this was not over yet. Later, he went to Jiankang to lobby for the Northern Expedition and submitted a petition to resign as the governor of Yangzhou, which led to Li Linghuai becoming the governor of Yangzhou.
However, compared with other governors, the governor of the state, the governor of Yangzhou is only a false minister and can only control the military of one state. It is not very powerful, but it has great political significance. Because Yangzhou has three counties of Wuhui, which are the military important military locations of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Ningzhi is now the governor of Yangzhou. He said he is chatting and drinking, but the other three people also have the intention of winning over them.
Wang Ningzhi did not deliberately please him, but just dealt with it. For him, it actually didn't matter much whether the Northern Expedition or not. After all, he was just a selfish person. Even if he wanted to persuade the Wang family to support the Northern Expedition, he was just to prevent Yuyao from marrying Huan Zhongdao.
After Xi Chao saw it, he stopped forcing it. The four of them drank for a while. It was getting late, and Wang Ningzhi said goodbye.
Wang Xun sent him out and said when he got in the car: "I will send someone to take my attitude when it comes to the family's discussions."
Wang Ningzhi smiled, patted his shoulder, and turned around to the car.
...
After returning home, I had contacted my cousins for a while and was so angry that I would not be criticized. Then I walked towards the courtyard.
It was getting late, and it was indeed time for dinner.
The food was made by Guo Shisi, which is both color, fragrance and taste. In terms of methods, it is much better than Wang Ningzhi. After all, Wang Ningzhi doesn't want him to have time to study the ingredients. However, because of these novel methods, Guo Shisi is very popular in the Wang family in Wuyi Lane. Many courtyards ask him to teach the chef. This way, it brings Wang Ningzhi closer to this side.
"Honey husband is drinking again?" Xie Daoyun came over and smelled it, fanned it with a handkerchief to dispel the smell of wine. "What a big smell of wine."
Wang Ningzhi reached out to hug his wife, looked at her disgusting little face, and immediately leaned over and ate it like a prank, then escaped and smiled and said, "This is a strong liquor in the army, which is what the soldiers drink, and the taste is naturally great."
"It smells bad and it's so bad." Xie Daoyun looked disgusted, "Go and rinse your mouth."
"Okay!" Wang Ningzhi went to rinse his mouth obediently, and sat at the dining table for dinner after finishing his work.
The Wang family was not a place that paid special attention to etiquette. Wang Ningzhi was even more so. He was a person who traveled through time and was used to dealing with things while eating. At this time, there was no big change. Except for not talking when he was coldly war with Xie Daoyun at the beginning, he is now bringing Xie Daoyun less and less concerned about the etiquette of "no food" without saying anything.
Listening to his wife talking about the things in Kuaiji County in his ears, most of them were conveyed by the harvest, and they were all their own arrangements. They seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner, and nodding while listening. When he heard Yu Nanzi invite Zhang Tongyun to celebrate Princess Yuyao's upcoming marriage to Huan Zhongdao, he frowned.
He still cared a little. Although he clearly stated that Yu Nanzi and Yuyao were his own woman and had no contact with others, he always felt disgusted whenever he heard that they were linked to Xu Lang and Huan Zhongdao.
However, Yu Nanzi's starting point was still good, so he immediately made plans and discussed with Yu Nanzi.
Thinking about what happened next, Wang Ningzhi raised his head and looked at Xie Daoyun, but saw his wife looking at him with a smile.
His face changed, with a little embarrassment, he hurriedly lowered his head and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up food, but he ran into Xie Daoyun.
"Langjun, I know exactly what Sister Nanzi has to do with you. I remember Langjun said that the contact with Duke Huan seemed to be to let Duke Huan terminate his marriage with Princess Yuyao. Since that's the case, Sister Nanzi asked someone to congratulate Princess Yuyao for getting married soon... Is it inappropriate? Could it be that Mr. Langjun has a grudge with Princess Kuaiji's Mansion or Princess Yuyao? He wants such a bad reputation." Undoubtedly, Xie Daoyuan's analysis is very good, but Wang Ningzhi finally hopes that it will be less.
What a pity, what a pity.
He raised his head and looked at his wife. He happened to meet his wife's faint gaze, full of pressure. Although he was humble, he could still feel his wife's momentum.
"Madam, you probably guessed it." He smiled bitterly.
"I guessed it a long time ago. This matter is nothing more than proof, but... when?" Xie Daoyuan's face couldn't tell whether she was happy or uncomfortable. Her pretty face had no expression, which made it difficult for Wang Ningzhi to guess what his wife was thinking.
But sure, I feel uncomfortable.
Wang Ningzhi thought for a moment and finally told Xie Daoyun what happened on Yu Nanzi that day. After saying that, he said: "This matter is not what I want, but since I have done it, I will fulfill my responsibilities. Yuyao will definitely not be favored by marrying Huan Zhongdao like this. Even if a princess is far away from the Kuaiji Palace, she will not receive much preferential treatment..."
After listening quietly, Xie Daoyun sighed: "My husband can't tolerate Princess Yuyao being infected by others again?"
"Yeah." Wang Ningzhi nodded and looked at his wife worriedly, "If you feel uncomfortable, it's better to vent your feelings. I won't neglect my wife just because of Yuyao and the others."
"I know, Langjun is different from other men. He used to have just had this feeling vaguely, but now it is clearer... Langjun is a person who values friendship." Xie Daoyuan's mouth curled a faint smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely be angry when I am angry, but I am just angry that Langjun hides me, not Sister Nanzi and Princess Yuyao. After all, if no one can look down on Langjun, wouldn't it mean I was blind?"
"Uh..." Wang Ningzhi was stunned, "How come he hears this strange?"
Huan'er, who was waiting for the meal next to her, smiled secretly.
After a moment, the two women laughed sweetly.
Xie Daoyun smiled and said, "That's right, I have something to tell my husband."
"What's up?"
