Early in the morning, noisy conversations came from outside the door, awakening the two of them in their sleep. The two looked at each other, as if the embarrassing scenes of last night had never happened. Xie Daoyun said a few words to Wang Ningzhi as yesterday, then walked out, packed up alone, and called Huan'er who was chatting outside in to wear Wang Ningzhi's clothing.

"Erlang, the people from Dalang just came and left a message, saying that the young lady would go home today, and it was just right to go out for a small gathering at this time. The location is Lanting in Kuaiji Mountain. Let you go together and talk about it. The young gentleman will take the young lady back to her parents' home." Huan'er said while biting the willow branch, biting out the floc and handing it to Wang Ningzhi. After confirming that he had no forgetting, he walked behind Wang Ningzhi and combed his long hair.

It is very troublesome for men to grow long hair. When they first got up, Wang Ningzhi tied it up with a rope, but now it was broken up and recombed. Seeing Huan'er's skillful technique, Wang Ningzhi sighed that it is quite good to have an obedient and peaceful girl by her side, assuming that the little girl cannot be as strong as Xie Daoyuan.

There is a kind of woman who is born strong and has the upper hand in confrontation with men, and has gradually received the evaluation of "can be viewed from afar but not played". Although Xie Daoyun is not old, her calm expression almost became an internal injury to Wang Ningzhi. Every time she sees it, she feels a different kind of sadness. Fortunately, she heard last night that she was going back to her parents' home today, and at least she had to live in her parents' home for one day, which means that Wang Ningzhi could be relaxed for two days.

This is fine, without a special wife, it seems that Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan will not meddle in other people's business. Going out to attend a few parties is also a channel to understand society... Wang Ningzhi brushed his teeth, and then had a silent "food halberd" with Xie Daoyun. The morning event was over, and the servant prepared a ox cart and parked it in front of the door.

"Huan'er, please stay at home to serve the prince. Just have Qing'e follow me. Remember to urge the kitchen to cook on time. Don't be lazy and ruin your husband's affairs..." Xie Daoyuan explained like a housewife. She stood in front of the ox cart and raised her hand. She was a little hesitant. She was only Wang Ningzhi and Qing'e by her side, as if she was struggling to let someone help her get in the car. Women are finally more particular and cannot climb into the car by themselves regardless of their ugly attitude.

Wang Ningzhi hurriedly reached out and supported her arm, asking her to get into the car with the force. This was the first physical contact between the two people. Wang Ningzhi could feel the smooth and warm skin inside through his thin clothes, which made him frightened, as if he was peeking at someone else taking a bath. When he was stunned, he heard Qing'e and Huan'er beside him teasing: "Erlang is afraid that he can't bear to leave the young lady, so he grabbed his hand and refused to let go."

Xie Daoyun calmly pulled back her arm, lifted the curtain in the carport, and scolded her with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, it's okay to let people lose their faces when they hear it. It's fine to make noises at home on weekdays, don't be crazy outside."

Wang Ningzhi, who was in the car immediately afterwards, also replied: "Listen to my wife, don't laugh anymore. When are you going to laugh at me?"

So, another burst of laughter...

...

At the beginning of late spring in the ninth year of Yonghe, Wang Xizhi took a group of children of the Wang family to Lanting to gather, and left behind the calligraphy work "Preface to Lanting Collection" that has been passed down through the ages: "There are mountains and steep mountains and lush forests and bamboos here; there are also clear and turbulent streams that reflect the left and right, which are taken as the flowing cups and the water, and are ranked second. Although there is no prosperous silk and bamboo orchestra, a cup and a song are enough to express the secluded feelings." From then on, Lanting, Shanyin, Kuaiji, often became a place for gatherings of celebrities. One of them is a great atmosphere and the other is a good scenery, which is the advantage.

Today is not a large gathering, most of the people who come are familiar. When Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun rushed over, more than half of the people had arrived, and about ten people were. When he saw him coming, he immediately started to make noise: "Wait a thousand times, Shuping finally came to the party with his beautiful wife, which is really envious of me."

"I originally planned to punish you and two of you for drinking and apologizing, but Youdu pleaded for his sister, saying that Ling Jiang would go back to her parents' home and should not drink... But Ling Jiang didn't say that you would spare Shuping. Good, Wang Shuping, you married our famous talented woman. Don't feel guilty in your heart? In short, you don't want to avoid this time drinking and apologizing."

"Brother-in-law Shuping, don't hate me. Even Brother Boyuan didn't beg you for mercy. Obviously, we have reached a consensus. If you want to hate you, you will hate you."

...

There are many things, although these words are plain, but they sound a little awkward. Fortunately, Wang Ningzhi did his homework. Youdu is the word "Xie Xuan" by Xie Daoyuan, the word "Xie Xuan" by Xie Daoyuan, and Boyuan is the word "Xie Daoyuan" by his elder brother Wang Xuanzhi. After understanding these, the group of people finally understood the conversation, but he didn't want to speak easily, so as not to show a different behavior from Wang Ningzhi before. He just walked beside Xie Daoyuan, saying "where is it" and "should be" to deal with it. He casually found a place to sit down.

"I feel guilty in my heart, in short, everyone doesn't have to forgive me... I can do the part of my wife." Wang Ningzhi, who sat down, said with a smile, but ignored Xie Daoyun's confusion expression beside him. He saw a few servants who could write poems next to a group of talented men and beautiful women copying poems. He realized that it was probably someone who wrote poems just now, but he didn't know how to write poems, and he couldn't copy poems. Abruptly asked him to copy poems would only make his mind blank, even if he remembered a lot of poems and songs. So, based on the idea of ​​"If I was drunk, you shouldn't be difficult for me", Wang Ningzhi refused those who persuaded him to drink.

There are many people who urge them to drink. In this era, talented men love beauty and talented women, especially in this era when they have a high tolerance for women. Although talented women are still rare, they can always meet one or two people far and near. Like Xie Daoyuan, women who value both talent and beauty and crush countless men are countless pursuers and secret lovers. There must be secret lovers among this group of people, which is why they tried their best to toast Wang Ningzhi. It is nothing more than the idea that this guy married my goddess and I want him to make him look ugly.

Wang Ningzhi's visitors did not refuse and gradually lost their initial popularity, and finally made the content of the party return to the theme. A group of people began to drink and write poems, feeling very uncomfortable.

On the other hand, probably after Wang Ningyi's speech, Xie Daoyun lost confidence in her husband around her. There was not much communication between the two. Except for being asked, she would answer a few words. Most of the time she sat in the corner and drank, and there were servants and maids next to her, and she would not be boring to deliver fruit from time to time.

Wang Ningzhi was not in the mood to guess what the little girl was thinking. Although the wine level in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was low, but her body was not very good. After drinking too much, she felt dizzy and could not even hear what others said. She could only vaguely distinguish the cheers and the unique tone of chanting poems. Listening to them talking to each other, she showed a very vigorous expression of scholarly spirit. Although there were not many officials in this group, the content of the conversation ranged from the country to the people, but the final focus was on the metaphysics of fake and empty things and the recent current affairs. She even kicked Wang Ningzhi down Sun Xiang in the school and praised it.

It was Wang Xuanzhi who told this. As the saying goes, the elder brother who doesn't cheat his younger brother is not a good elder brother. After Wang Xuanzhi said it, he laughed first: "Shuping is probably prepared for a long time. I knew earlier that he would not want to be an official and wanted to be a junior student. But he didn't expect that he would stare at Sun Xiang when he was listening to the class. He probably had been preparing to find fault and expel Sun Xiang."

"I really didn't expect that Shuping could burst out this force and knocked down Sun Xiang with one kick. You must know that Sun Xiang is a Taoist of the Five Doks of Rice. He is not something we can compare to when refining muscles and bones on weekdays."

"That's right, I've met Sun Xiang, and I'm really strong. I heard that I've even invited the gods."

"Lucky, luck... But my elder brother said it well. I really want to be a junior student. I am too forced to be an official, and I still know my own abilities." Wang Ningzhi stammered and was completely despised by his wife beside him, which made him secretly complain. This was not because he took the initiative to show decadence, but because the wine was too strong and his whole body was no longer under control.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Being an official is not difficult, and being a scholar is not embarrassed either." Maybe because Xie Daoyun next to him looked down on Wang Ningzhi, the young man named Wang Xun said immediately, but after enlightenment, he changed his tone and said, "But Sun Xiang is a Taoist of Five Doks of Miles and is also close to Sun Tai and Sun Jingyuan. Sun Jingyuan learned from Du Zigong, and obtained his true teachings, mastered Taoism, and was very loved by people... He didn't say that, so don't worry, but I'm afraid that if he has something, it would be very troublesome."

"Yes, it is indeed a bit troublesome if Sun Jingyuan wants to stand up for Sun Xiang, but it is unlikely that Sun Jingyuan is a character and will not do anything that damages his reputation. At most, he will say a few words so that he will not be too worried." Wang Xuanzhi has been in charge of the affairs and knows a lot about the people in society. After this analysis, everyone's worries were calmed down.

However, everyone's views on this matter were different. They proposed that Wang Ningzhi was sensible: Sun Tai was not clear, but it seemed that he should have been trained as Du Zigong's successor, that is, the next Taoist leader. In this way, although he could not personally take action for this little thing, he could not resist some of the little kids secretly making trouble and attracting attention... Personally, Wang Ningzhi would always think badly about things and make solutions in advance. In Lu Xun's words, he was not afraid to speculate on the Chinese with the worst malice. Although the Wang family was big, there were many madmen in this era, so he had to take precautions.

Wang Ningzhi continued to drink and write poems there, but fortunately no one paid attention to him except his wife.

Xie Daoyun, who had always had a calm expression, finally saw Wang Ningzhi's distracted due to Wang Xun's worry, and finally felt a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows, but it disappeared in a flash. She raised her head and returned to calm.

Just the ripples in my heart are emerging.
