September 28.

The Wang family went back to Fangshan to visit relatives.

A group of hundreds of people with a ring and a mother-in-law are big, and the carriages and horses are quite spectacular.

As the southwest gateway of the capital, Fangshan is bordered by Mentougou in the north, the Taihang Mountains in the west, and the vast North China Plain in the southeast.

Wang Xiao only knew that the old house in Fangshan was not far away, and he nested in the carriage with Ying'er, quite self-satisfied.

"I'm going to pay homage to Mrs. Zu."

From last night to now, Ying'er has said it several times, and her eyes are full of anticipation.

At this time, she opened the curtain and looked back at the troupe following behind, and said happily: "Mrs. Zu loves to watch dramas the most." ”

"Then I'll let them sing a few more times."

Ying'er said: "That's Ruifu class, how can you sing more?" ”

Wang smiled: "It's okay, I'll just go back and talk to them." ”

"Really?" Ying'er couldn't help but be surprised: "The young master is really powerful, Mrs. Zu has long said that the young master will be promising." ”

Wang Xiao was a little helpless in her heart, she raided her house and killed people, and the court was full of attention, but this little girl didn't feel powerful. On the contrary, it is to let the troupe sing a play that can make her exclaim.

"Does Ying'er also like to watch dramas?"

Ying'er nodded "um", a little embarrassed.

After a while, she lowered her head again and said, "The young master treats Ying'er so well." ”

"It's not that good." Wang Xiao sighed a little in his heart.

Wang Jue applauded Bi Yi, what kind of princess do you want to be......

The carriage walked for more than two hours and arrived at Wangjia Village.

Wangjia Village is located between the Laikuo River and Pofeng Ridge, the fields are fertile, and everyone can eat and dress according to the Wang family, which is a well-known rich village in this area.

Wang Kang first led his family to worship the ancestral grave, and then returned to the village to feel all kinds of respectful eyes.

The shopkeeper in Beijing only listens to Wang Zhu now, but when he arrives in Wangjia Village, everyone respects Wang Kang very much.

After the sound of firecrackers, boxes of copper coins and gifts were distributed, and people of all ages, men and women, surrounded the Wang family and kept admiring.

The people in the village are prosperous, Wang Xiaoguang and the uncles, uncles, and brothers spent most of the hour, he didn't know any of them anyway, so he had to stand there with a polite smile, and countless people secretly pointed at him and praised his character.

Wang Kang's official body, the opera troupe from the capital, and the money and goods distributed...... All these things have plunged Wangjia Village into a festive and jubilant like the New Year.

It wasn't until dinner that Wang Xiao was able to return to the house under the pretext of being tired of carriage and horses. He rubbed his smiling face, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Dealing with these countless relatives is more tiring than raiding the house.

Over there, Wang Kang enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon very much, and he sat in the lobby to talk to the clansmen, always with a reserved and solemn smile.

But a small incident happened that night, which made him a little inexplicably uneasy.

- Wang Zhen's eldest son, Tiger Head, ran around the old mansion and stumbled on the threshold and fell.

Wang Kang is now this grandson, he has been very distressed, and when he heard about it, he hurried over, and when he saw the big bag on the forehead of the tiger head, he suddenly froze there.

gave birth to four sons and two daughters, but when it came to grandchildren, there was only the only seedling of the tiger head......

Wang Kangsi didn't have the heart to enjoy everyone's flattery anymore, so he went back to the ancestral hall alone for a long time.

After coming out, the head of the Wang family seemed to have made a certain decision in his heart. first asked Tao Wenjun to ask a few words, and then personally found a clan brother and quietly ordered.

It was night, and the lights in the village were gradually extinguished.

Wang Xiao and Ying'er sat on the bed playing tangram.

"I'm two steps faster than the young master in this fight."

Ying'er won another game, and she was very happy.

Wang Xiao put away the tangram, peeked at the cute little feet under the hem of her skirt, and wanted to reach out and touch it.

Resisting this impulse, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, sighing that he was too unreasonable.

Unexpectedly, he didn't touch Ying'er, but Ying'er took his hand and covered it.

"Is the young master cold? Warm your hands. As she spoke, she smiled again: "Let's fight the dog now and see who uses the least number of steps......

"Wangwang." Wang smiled: "I didn't use a single step, I won." ”

These two dog barks made Ying'er lean forward and backward, she couldn't sit still, held Wang Xiao's shoulders and pressed him down on the couch, leaning on him and laughing.

"The young master doesn't learn like this, look at me, Wang Wang......"

Her hair was itchy on her face, and Wang Xiao's heart was also itchy.

was playing happily, but a girl came over to ask Wang Xiao, saying that the master was looking for it.

"Daddy is still looking for me so late?" Wang Xiao muttered, so he had to get off the bed and go all the way to Wang Kang's house.

saw Wang Kang sitting alone on a stool, fiddling with charcoal, looking indecisive.

"Father."

"Sit down." Wang Kang pondered and said slowly: "With the blessing of our ancestors and ancestors, our Wang family is becoming more and more prosperous now, and we have an official status for our father...... Among them, there is your credit. ”

"Children don't dare to take credit."

"You're a good boy, not like your two older brothers." Wang Kang nodded and sighed.

Wang smiled he.

He was indeed a good boy.

But I heard Wang Kang say again: "Your sister-in-law had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Niuniu, and she died nine times for a lifetime, and she should not have another life in the future." Your second brother would rather be a widower. As for your younger brother Wang Bao, he is an unsuccessful person, and his body is very weak. The grandchildren of the Wang family are not prosperous. The tiger fell on his head today, do you know how worried I am? I'm still trembling."

Wang Xiao had no choice but to say: "Father doesn't have to worry, who hasn't fallen when he was a child." ”

Wang Kang waved his hand and said, "After you and the princess get married, you can't take a concubine." Even if you are lucky enough to have a son, you will inherit your lordship. I have inquired about my father, but there are not a few who have become attached horses but have lost their children...... I also asked Wen Jun just now, she had seen Princess Chunning once, and she was not a good person to raise by looking at her figure, alas. ”

Wang Xiao was a little speechless.

The tiger's head just fell, and this old father gave birth to so many thoughts, in fact, it was a little sentimental.

But I heard Wang Kang say again: "My father thought about it in front of the ancestral tablet just now, and decided to take a risk. ”

Wang Xiao was stunned.

What are you going to risk for?

I saw Wang Kang go out of the house and call a clan uncle and asked, "Is it arranged?" ”

"Alright."

"Can you trust the candidate?" Wang Kang asked again.

"Absolutely."

"Okay."

Wang Kang stroked his long beard, and then led Wang Xiao to the back room.

Turning around the corridor, I happened to meet Wang Zhu sitting in the atrium, as if admiring the moon.

Wang Kang didn't bother to greet him, and snorted coldly: "Rebel." ”

Wang Xiao followed behind Wang Kang and threw the second brother a look of schadenfreude.

Wang Zhu glanced at him sideways, tilted his head and smiled faintly......

Then, the father and son turned around to a rather secluded house, and Wang Kang smiled at Wang with his hand: "Go in." ”

Wang Xiao hesitated.

This old father can't be doing some superstition, right?

Or get some good herbs......

"Will I hurt you as a father?" Wang Kang said gently: "You can go in with peace of mind." ”

Wang Xiao thought about it, he finally got rid of the name of the rebel, and for no reason to disobey this strange-tempered father, so he cautiously glanced into the house.

It's quite plain and looks safe.

And he stepped in.

Just crossed the threshold, and suddenly there was a "bang" sound, and the room was closed, and it was bolted up with a "click".

"Dad, what are you going to do?!"

Before he had time to shout like this, Wang Xiao looked back, but he was startled.

"What are you going to do......"
