The breeze was blowing, the wicker was hanging around, and the air was full of astringent smells. Jiu Gongzi stared at the water for a while, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Seeing him lying against the tree from a distance, Uncle Qiang slowed down his feet, and when he walked under the tree, he was about to make a sound, Jiu Gongzi opened his eyes and asked lazily: "What's the matter?" ”

Uncle Jian bowed and said, "The old master called his son to go to the studio." ”

Because Wang Sima always likes to practice calligraphy and painting in the bamboo house by the river, the servants in Qiaoju call it the studio. In fact, Wang Sima not only paints in it, but also likes to meet guests inside.

Jiu Gongzi stood up lazily, brushed the hem of his robe, and said lightly: "Let's go." After saying this, he casually asked, "Who is coming, huh?" ”

Uncle Qiang was stunned for a moment, and when he turned sideways and let the ninth prince pass, Fang followed behind and replied, "Half an hour ago, the patriarch came to look for the head of the family. Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something important, and said in a low voice: "The old servant heard the patriarch's words when he was serving tea...... He is very old, and in recent years his head disease has become more and more severe, and his energy is not as good as before...... Many trivial matters are mostly handled by the eldest son. ”

I'm getting old, and my energy is not what I used to be!

The Ninth Prince sneered: "He is two or three years younger than his grandfather. Doesn't saying that he is old imply that his grandfather is old and should retire as the head of the family? ”

When it comes to this kind of topic, Uncle Qiang has no choice but to pretend to be deaf.

The Ninth Prince did not speak again.

At that moment, the two of them came out of the willow forest, stepped on the gravel road along the grass path, and then crossed the small wooden bridge. The door of the bamboo house was wide open, and the nine sons went in.

Glancing at the blue jade robe at the door, Wang Sima put down the pen and said, "Just now Wang Jingzhen is looking for a place to sit idle, and the old man wants to call you over to ask for peace, this person ...... Ha. ”

Wang Sima shook his head and sat on the couch with his robe on his hand.

Jiu Gongzi poured the tea at the right time and handed it over, and when he took it, Fang took Tao Yi again, and the tea was poured into the cup.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After sipping a cup of tea, Wang Sima put down the porcelain cup and said slowly: "Wang Jingzhen's meaning seems to be very fond of his eldest son." According to Xiao Jiu...... What is his eldest son's character? ”

After thinking for a while, the ninth prince said lightly: "His son is now forty and four. Simply put down this sentence, and the man picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of it elegantly.

After waiting for a long time, when the ninth prince finished sipping tea and raised his hand to carry the pottery, Wang Sima couldn't help but "snap" twice on the desk, and said in a slightly reprimanding tone: "What's wrong with four out of forty, isn't it just in the prime of life, huh?" Why don't you say it? ”

"It's just the prime of life." The ninth prince said idly: "Not to mention the main wife and wife, there are twelve concubines on the family tree, twenty-six people who can't go to the family tree, and the rest of the singers and maiko are innumerable." ”

This person reported a long list of words, and Wang Sima couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Xiao Jiu...... I asked him what his character was, and that he had more wives and concubines, which was not a loss of character. ”

"Hmm." The ninth prince hooked the corners of his lips and said lightly: "If it is...... One of the concubines robbed the wife of a wealthy businessman in Zhaoling, and the other concubine was a good lady who was captured on the way to Qingqing. ”

Do you need to ask?

This person also said three things and hid everything, and Wang Sima was gloomy for a while.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

Uncle Qiang glanced at Wang Sima, twisted his face back and glanced at Jiu Gongzi again, searched his intestines and thought about it for a long time, and then said stubbornly, "Childe...... Isn't the Ninth Lady happy? That one...... The old slave caught a few small whitebait, I don't know if Mrs. Nine likes it or not. ”

This sentence is tickling Wang Sima's itch.

"Well, in a few months, Xiao Jiu will be a father." Wang Sima seemed to forget that the two of them almost carried it just now, and said: "Actually, what Jing Zhen said is right, the old man has been lacking in energy recently, and he is finally getting old." Ah Qiang...... Let's make a couch. ”

Obviously, the old man didn't go down in annoyance, and he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of people at this time.

Jiu Gongzi stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "If grandfather has no orders, Xiao Jiu will return to Wuyang tomorrow." ”

Wang Sima was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he finally waved his hand and said, "You go, I will explain to the king when I enter the palace tomorrow." ”

The ninth prince bowed, saluted, and turned around and went out.

Seeing that he didn't turn his head back to the small bridge, Uncle Qiang turned his face and asked, "The head of the family, the ninth prince today...... It seems that something is not going well. ”

Sitting with his eyelids down for a while, Wang Sima looked out the window, the shadows of the trees outside the window were sparse, and the long figure of the ninth prince flickered among the trees, and gradually disappeared.

This person walked extremely freely and neatly, Wang Sima couldn't help sighing: "Yesterday, the king wanted to make the seventh prince daughter and his wife, Fang Qi mentioned it, and he called Deputy Tian to carry Huo's corpse and send it, and the king's face sank at that time. ”

Isn't it a good thing to have multiple wives and still be a royal daughter? Uncle Qiang looked puzzled.

Wang Sima sighed again and said, "Didn't you hear just now, Wang Jingzhen's eldest son and concubine have many wives and concubines, and he is implying that the old man is ...... Refusal to marry a wife. ”

It turns out that the crux of the problem is here.

It's just that there are many women and one less woman, so how can the two grandparents seem to be struggling.

After thinking about it, Uncle Qiang had no choice but to convince him: "The princesses are unreasonable and unreasonable, I think the ninth prince doesn't want to be restless." ”

"Where is he thinking about it, he is ......." After saying half a while, Wang Sima shook his head dejectedly.

Don't blame Wang Sima for being angry, he made the king again and again, and repeatedly wanted to marry the princess to the ninth prince, just to put an eyeliner in the Wang family. He made an abacus, and Wang Sima saw it very clearly.

Only Wang Sima also has ideas...... The eldest son, Wang An, is in a state of confusion, and it is already the limit to be able to sit firmly in the position of the imperial envoy, and the second son Wang Zhi is in the army, so it is impossible for him to take over the position of the head of the Wang family.

In the generation of the ninth son, Wang Ang only has one son-in-law; Wang Zhi's four sons-in-law are true, but they all want to make achievements in the army ********, and they don't know anything about power planning at all.

If the ninth prince marries the prince's daughter, one can reassure the king, and the other is from the family's brothers and grandchildren, and they can also extinguish the delusional position of the head of the family.

Previously, the ninth prince had rejected the four princesses, and now he will refuse another one...... The king is so happy that he is the most powerful. If he gets upset, he will look for another "obedient" person to support...... The Wang family is in danger.

The water was murmuring outside, but there was silence inside.

Wang Sima sat with his forehead on his forehead for a long time, and Fang Shen ordered Uncle Jin: "The old man will be quiet for a while, you can go out." ”

Uncle Qiang bowed and retreated.

Early the next morning, the Ninth Prince ordered the distant mountain iron thorn to prepare to leave, and he went to the studio to see Wang Sima. Fang got off the wooden bridge, and Uncle Qiang trotted up from under the porch, bowed down and said, "Is the son here to bid farewell to the head of the family?" ”

Yesterday I said that I would return to Wuyang this morning, and this person was also there when I said it, and I asked more at this time, obviously there was something changed.

The ninth prince didn't speak, his lacquer-like eyes swept past Uncle Qiang, and turned to look at the bamboo house.

The doors and windows of the bamboo house were closed, and there was silence inside, obviously Wang Sima was not there.

Yesterday, when the ninth prince left the bamboo house, it was Shen Shizhong, although the grandfather and grandson did not talk in the evening, but the two lived only separated by a small river, if there is movement in the studio, the ninth prince must know.

In the early morning, Yuanshan led the horse and saddled it at the gate of Qiaoju, and did not see Wang Sima leave at all.

If he wanted to leave, Wang Sima could only walk in the middle of the night.

What was so urgent that he had to go at night?
