Chapter 4 The Cold War between husband and wife
The dusk is beautiful, and the setting sun puts everything on a layer of orange gauze dress, which is often flowing, contrasting with the rushing tenant farmers. They ignore the branches swaying with the evening breeze, and use all their strength to splash ink on the earth to paint on the last moment. There are many streams in Kuaiji County. Through the main stream, the cultivated land that was reclaimed by the tenant farmers for a day. On it, someone was pulling the silent buffalo to take the kudzu scarf handed over the child and put it on his head.
Listen carefully, there were even children's clear voices singing.
This is the tranquility and simplicity that has never been seen in later generations a thousand years later. Some say that this represents poverty, but some say that it is an identity with nature... Wang Ningzhi stood on a small arch bridge crossing the stream, slowly retracted his eyes that were stagnant from the distance, and gradually woke up from his thoughts.
Although he kicked Sun Xiang in the school in the morning, he also stopped the little girl named Xi Daomao from being forced to take the poisonous medicine of Wushi Powder. Not to mention whether Sun Xiang was wrong first, Wang Ningzhi was the identity of Wang Yi Shao Erlang, even if Wang Ningzhi was rude, he would be suppressed by his family. In short, it was a trivial matter. Wang Ningzhi, who died suddenly from fatigue, naturally did not want to do anything else, and left, and spent a day in the guidance of the servant Fengcheng, and also had a preliminary understanding of this era and society.
Liang, Dai, Qin, Yan and multiple separatist forces are still fighting on the land in the north. Turbulence is the most appropriate adjective of this era. Fortunately, although the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in a corner and occasionally provoked and attacked by individual forces, it is relatively safe. In the later generations, it is still in the middle of a dynasty. Although it is mediocre, it will not face the tragedy of broken mountains and rivers. Such an environment raises the lazy and poetic people. For them, when choosing one of Tan Xuan and officials, most people will choose the former, scholars, talk about military affairs on paper, and those who truly have military and political talents are often excluded from the circle, such as the famous Huan Wen.
He stopped just now when he thought of this. Wang Ningzhi, who was stretching, suddenly thought of the person who last spoke to him at the wedding yesterday. His voice was quite unique, so he turned around and asked Fengshou, "What did Duke Huan say yesterday's wedding?"
Fengshou immediately replied: "Apart from blessings, I didn't say much, but I just teased Erlang at the end. Duke Huan said, "The bride's boudoir is looking up, Shuping shouldn't drink it. He should go back to the room quickly. Such a beautiful scenery, don't delay it. In addition, he was eating wine silently..." His voice became smaller and smaller. As a servant, he also felt that Huan Wen was treated so coldly.
"Dong Huan is not good at socializing on weekdays."
With this, he won't talk anymore. Wang Ningzhi stared at the buffalo that was gradually approaching in the distance. The buffalo was sitting on its thick back, with her hair combed into a horn, and her skin was a little yellow, but her black eyes were also staring at Wang Ningzhi from far to near, not afraid of being alive, and she smiled when she got close.
So Wang Ningzhi also smiled, making the harvest beside him feel inexplicable. Could it be that Erlang is stupid when he gets married?
But no one noticed the loneliness in Wang Ningzhi's eyes. In the early spring of the second year of Xingning, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he came to this strange era, smiled at the children, waved his hand to the sunset in the distance, as a farewell to the past.
...
...
Without a job, going out for fun is the most relaxing way of entertainment. However, after the entertainment, Wang Ningzhi was a little worried. Yesterday, he could use the reason of drunkenness to pretend to be an ostrich, and not touch Xie Daoyuan, but what reason can he have today?
Marriage is a contract between men and women, and there are bonds from then to death. In ancient times, this bond was often planted by parents for their children, and when the romantic seasons were in full bloom and bear fruit, and reproduced from generation to generation. Generally speaking, in eras with low productivity, women were synonymous with materialization. Many times, they were objects used by men to vent their flesh, desire and inherit the family line. For poor families, as long as they were women, they were not picky. Even if they were picky, they were picky, and whether the butt was big, which was closely related to birth and nourishment.
Wang Ningzhi is not picky about Xie Daoyuan.
As a descendant of men, there are many ways to evaluate women: appearance, temperament, and talent; in this era, the same is true for women, but family background accounts for a greater proportion.
Xie Daoyuan is very beautiful, very temperamental, and has talent that surpasses many men. His family background is the Xie family in "Wang Xie Huanyu" which follows the Wang family. There is almost nothing that can make Wang Ningzhi picky... In addition to age, simply speaking, the fifteen-year-old Xie Daoyuan, Wang Ningzhi will not take action.
As I came back, I heard about the handling of the morning matter. Given that many people were watching Sun Xiang's indecent behavior, the Wang family's handling method was very direct and dismissed. Although Sun Xiang and Sun Tai were close to him, they were still recommended by Du Zigong. After all, it was just a trivial matter in human relationships. Although Du Zigong was respected as a leader of the Five Doks of Rice Dao, he would not have been guilty of the Wang family for such trivial matters. However, after Sun Xiang was fired, the position of the school teacher was vacant again.
"If there is no suitable candidate yet, then it is probably Erlang." Fengshou muttered beside him.
Wang Ningzhi was not in a hurry to refuse. In this day, he had already understood the whole story: Wang Xizhi's lineage was prosperous, and except for Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan, he had seven sons and one daughter. The eldest son Wang Xuanzhi had already become an official, but he had recently been sick and was recuperating at home. His wife He had never had children. He always went to the Buddhist temple and Taoist platform to pray for a child; the second son was himself, and married Xie Daoyun as his wife; the third son, the fourth son, Wang Huanzhi, and Wang Suzhi were in the study tour stage; the other Wang Huizhi, Wang Caozhi, Wang Xianzhi and his younger sister, Wang Mengjiang, although they were different in age, they all studied in school.
Before Wang Ningzhi came here, the predecessor of this body did not like being an official. Getting married was an excuse. He wanted to stay at home for a few more days and deliberately or unintentionally targeted the position of a junior student. Being a junior student could delay the time of becoming an official, so why not do it? However, Wang Ningzhi was still relatively mediocre among the seven sons and one daughter. His father Wang Xizhi thought it very clearly. If he had a prominent reputation, it would be better not to be an official, but his reputation was not obvious. Wouldn't he have to cut off a path of retreat? This was why he agreed to be a junior student to be a junior student with the idea of Wang Ningzhi so that he would ask someone to recommend him to be an official after the wedding date.
Not being famous is the most embarrassing thing about Wang Erlang.
If Wang Ningzhi's talent was among the weaker family, he would probably be a talent to revitalize the family. However, this is the Wang family, the top family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there are also branches of the existence of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. They are more popular than others. Especially now, Wang Ningzhi is not as good as Wang Ningzhi before, and he is not familiar with the knowledge of this era... The most important thing is that Wang Ningzhi is a calligrapher at least, but he... can't use a brush.
"That happens to be at home after my wedding, but I suggest to my father that I will be a junior student for a while. If there is a better candidate in the future, I will let you wise again." Wang Ningzhi replied, and at this time he had already walked to his own courtyard, waved his hand and let the harvest dissipate by itself. Then he sighed and walked inside.
Qing'e and Huan'er have already prepared dinner.
It is still rice porridge, but compared to the simplest breakfast, there are three more side dishes. Although the cooking skills are not as good as those of later generations, they look exquisite and appetizing. Xie Daoyun, who had not seen her for a day, had already sat at the dining table. Her delicate and light face turned to Wang Ningzhi. She looked at Huan'er serving him to sit down after washing his hands, then she bowed slightly and said, "Langjun."
"Um."
Wang Ningzhi responded, thinking that Xie Daoyun had something to ask, but she didn't expect that after she said something, she stopped talking and started to eat vegetables silently with chopsticks, which made him very embarrassed. Thinking of this era of food but not speaking, people probably just said a greeting.
The former genius now faces a fifteen-year-old girl, restless and always feels embarrassed no matter what she does or says, but the cause of all this is himself, and he is not easy to get angry, so he can only sit opposite Xie Daoyuan helplessly and irritably, even the refreshing porridge and vegetables are boring... He occasionally looks up at his wife opposite, and looks at her silently eating vegetables. His posture is elegant and beautiful. In later generations, he must be a beauty who needs to be cultivated urgently. His body is in bud, which is the freshest and most touching beauty. But often Wang Ningzhi's eyes fall on his wife's eyes and he will find that the corners of her eyes opposite her shrink slightly, and the majesty is coming to his face, destroying the feeling just now.
Obviously, Xie Daoyun found that she was looking at others frequently.
After a hurry, they finished their meal and washed up under Huan'er's service. The two maids left with great color and planned to give the newlyweds some free space.
In this era, there is less entertainment after dinner. Some people will choose to go back to their room to rest after having dinner, but Wang Ningzhi did not plan that way. It was still early, so he might not be able to sleep, especially because there was a lukewarm and beautiful snake inside.
So after the two maids left, he went to the study room and carefully played with Wang Ningzhi's manuscripts of calligraphy and painting. From his picky eyes, he was clear and energetic, with little plumpness, just like he was also a handsome man, which made people love him. But if he wrote it now, he would probably only be like a child painting a snake and a worm. However, he still had experience. Although it was written by his predecessor, it was somewhat related to himself. He took advantage of this time to copy and study it here.
It was not until Wang Ningzhi thought that Xie Daoyun had fallen asleep that he slowly finished packing up and walked into the boudoir.
The candlelight flashed and darkened, and Xie Daoyuan slept with her clothes on the outside of the bed, her sleeping posture was elegant and tilted, as if she had been waiting for Wang Ningzhi, but she was unable to resist sleepiness.
Seeing this scene, it was so beautiful that it was heartbreaking. Xie Daoyun changed into her usual clothes today. Now she took off her silk robe, wearing only a small dress and a long skirt. Her legs were slender, her body was concave and convex, and her delicate collarbone was exposed. Her black hair was scattered along her posture, covering half of her cheeks, and she just stepped off her majesty. Her rosy lips held a strand of hair with her breathing... Seeing this, Wang Ningzhi hurriedly diverted his attention. Even though he had the strongest suppression, he almost couldn't help but pounce on him in the moment.
Removing his coat and taking off his shoes, he carefully stepped over Xie Daoyuan on the outside and wanted to climb onto the bed.
But he didn't expect the bed to tremble slightly, awakening Xie Daoyun. At this time, Wang Ningzhi was passing her body, and the two of them face to face. Xie Daoyun suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Wang Ningzhi on her body calmly.
After a while, she sighed quietly and said, "I am tired today, and I am afraid I can't wait for you to rest."
