Chapter 2 The bride, the high hall, and the children of the Wang family
After the first rays of sunlight in the morning, the whole mansion is lively and vivid, the first to get up is the slaves and maids in the house, most of them get up on time, clean the house, make a fire and cook, until the sun rises above the horizon, and the carefully boiled rice porridge emits the aroma that makes people eat and open the stomach, and then they begin to go to each room to wake up the sleeping master.

Wang Ningzhi woke up at the first sound of the little maid knocking on the door, coughed lightly and signaled the little maid to stop knocking on the door, and then turned to look at the woman next to him, Xie Daoyun, who slept in a suit like himself, because he was still young, his petite but charming body shrunk on the pillow, perhaps he dreamed of something unpleasant and frowned, and his small mouth was ruddy, naturally revealing the beauty of the opposite sex.
Her ostrich posture last night should have hurt her to a great extent...... Wang Ningzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he had actually made plans before he walked into the door last night, and it was his wife inside, so he naturally had the obligation to hug and sleep, and it was not impossible to take a handful of beasts.
But who would have thought that the moment he walked into the boudoir, it was decided that he was not as good as a beast, although there were many people in later generations who liked Lori and even young girls, and would be raised as the greatest revolutionary person, Wang Ningzhi was more or less influenced by this, but theory and practice are clearly two lines in different directions, a soul in his twenties faces a newlywed girl who may be less than fifteen years old and can't even be called a woman, he thinks he still can't do it.
Even if conscience is more destructive.
The girl next to the pillow woke up leisurely when Wang Ningzhi wanted to sneak out of bed, and then a pair of Danfeng eyes that were not very clear stared at him intently, making his movements stiff, and after a while, the girl whispered: "Lang Jun's drunkenness has subsided?" Then wash up and be safe early, and today I want to meet the two high halls, if I go late and lose my courtesy, I am afraid that it will make people laugh. ”
After that, he ignored Lang Jun beside him, sat up by himself, sorted out the wrinkled clothes, and soon walked out of the boudoir, and whispered between women from outside, and soon a maid in a small skirt walked in, looking like one of the two maids at the door last night, and after coming in, he skillfully brought the basin and waited for Wang Ningzhi to wash.
Wang Ningzhi didn't feel any discomfort, he was simply thick-skinned, and he was lazy, he could save time and effort, and he wouldn't refuse without trouble, and then took off his coat that was not suitable for wearing anymore under the service of the maid, and at the same time said some daily conversations. It is said that it is daily, but it is also a process for him to understand this era, no need to read more books, as long as the simplest people or things in this era are dissected and analyzed, you can get a lot of information, fortunately, this little maid called Huan'er did not think much about anything, and answered Wang Ningzhi's questions, and after a while, he said the general situation of Wang Xizhi's vein, of course, this statement is mixed with the subjective judgment of the little maid, and it cannot be fully believed.
At this time, there is a toothbrush, saying that it is a toothbrush, but it is to bite the willow branch soaked in water to reveal the flocculent inside, but it has to be dipped in some salt in advance, and Huan'er himself bites it open and hands it over, so there is some suspicion of indirect kissing......
The place to eat is at the outhouse, there are many Wang families, except for special days such as the four seasons and eight festivals, they will eat together in each room on weekdays. Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun are newly married, so after breakfast, they have to go to the main house where their parents are to serve tea, so that they can act freely, the Wang family is so good at talking about Xuan, believing in five buckets of rice, the corresponding wedding festival is not as rigid as the Confucian family, very watery, otherwise how can the two of them at the beginning of the wedding be idle.
The food is sparse and ordinary rice porridge, without side dishes, but it is the first meal that Wang Ningzhi crossed over to eat, speaking of which, he has not been able to eat something well, and his stomach is empty, until the hot rice porridge warms his stomach, and he has a sense of belonging in a strange era, which is the so-called truth.
There wasn't much conversation between the newlyweds.
Wang Ningzhi felt that he gave up his wife and went to sleep directly on the wedding night, which was nothing in the later life, but in ancient times, it was equivalent to a naked insult to his wife, and he was already ashamed, and Xie Daoyun has been polite to himself since he got up without a trace of complaint, which is already a great luck, and he feels even more indebted, and it is normal not to speak.
After eating breakfast like this, the little maid Huan'er was left to clean up the room, and the two were led to the main room by another older maid, Qing'e.
The air in early spring is moist and slightly cold, giving birth to a thin layer of mist shrouded in the world, even the surface of the earth is not let go, everything that comes into contact with it is rendered, often resulting in no asphalt cement paved ground muddy, although this wet feeling is dull, but it does not hinder the work of the servants, in each house and courtyard, there are slaves and maids in the careful cleaning of the courtyard, most of these courtyards are delicate and small, rich Jiangnan garden style, but in the overall layout reveals the atmosphere of the northern scholars. The busy slaves and maids have a high level of literacy, and there is no irritability to get up early at all, perhaps in their eyes, it is already a blessing that the Wang family can provide them with a house and a place to eat, so for the newlyweds who pass by them, most of the slaves and maids return kind greetings and blessings.
In addition, it is the brothers and sisters of Wang Ningzhi's identity, the younger ones are still looking at the bride nervously, as if they think it is interesting to do this, and the older ones are estimated to have something, so a group of people simply blocked a knot in front of the main house, and said hello after Wang Ningzhi Xie Daoyun approached. Wang Ningzhi was a little nervous, he couldn't recognize who these people were without his previous body memory, so he dug out some clues from Huan'er's fragmented thoughts, and now it seems that it is useless, he can only vaguely admit the past, but fortunately, these people are not too embarrassed.
What surprised him was that Xie Daoyun's conversation beside him was a step up from his vague response, maybe he had done his homework in advance, and he could call everyone what he was called, not indifferent to Wang Ningzhi, noble to his subordinates, but generous and mixed with a hint of the bride's weakness, giving people a feeling of spring breeze is about this realm.
Wang Ningzhi also gradually wrote down the corresponding locations of everyone so that they could meet in the future.
From the title of Erlang, Wang Ningzhi has long known that he is the second, and there is a brother on it, but he doesn't know the name, and now after talking with each other, he knows that the much mature young man led by this group of people is the only brother. Compared with the younger brothers and sisters chattering and chattering, the brother who only got married last year has already begun to take charge, chatting for a while, estimating that the time is not early, he said: "Some time ago, Erlang also said that he wanted to evaluate the gentleman in the family, and the marriage was delayed for a while. ”
It is not clear whether he should inherit Wang Ningzhi, and now he can only accept it, and the Wang brothers and sisters can be regarded as letting him go and scattering.
He glanced at Xie Daoyun beside him, the little girl's face was also a little tired, after all, she was too young, but she had to get in touch with the world, and it was easier for the girls who came to accept the future generations.
"Are you alright?"
Xie Daoyun shook his head, took a breath, and after a while, his usual face returned, signaling Wang Ningzhi to go in.
Wang Ningzhi was still a little excited, not to mention Xie Daoyun, although he left his name in the history of later generations, it was also sparse and ordinary, and he couldn't compare to the one he was facing at the moment - the book saint Wang Xizhi, who turned out to be his father by mistake, such a change really caught him off guard, Rao was mentally prepared for a long time, and he stumbled at the moment he entered.
Looking ahead, Wang Xizhi and his wife Xi Xuan sat on the couch, and a maid was waiting on each side behind them, holding a tea set.
Wang Ningzhi hesitated and didn't know what to say, obviously not knowing that the ancient etiquette made him a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Wang Xizhi was not a rigid person, and he didn't care, and said kindly that Erlang and the bride were here, and the two sides replied a few words, and the maid sent a teacup and asked the bride to serve tea.
He breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and carefully looked at his parents in this life as he thanked Daoyun for tea.
This feeling is difficult to describe, and it is even stranger than knowing that Xie Daoyun is his wife. The parents of his previous life are a little vague in his memory, because he died early, so he is not impressed, but he is probably a man with an indifferent personality, although he is tactful in his daily life, but the interaction with relatives seems estranged. Now a man and a woman have suddenly appeared as his parents, and even a large group of brothers and sisters, after all, after changing his body, this feeling of flesh and blood connection made him feel difficult to adapt for a while.
Even from the aesthetic perspective of future generations, Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan can be regarded as handsome men and women, although they don't know their age, they look like men and women who are just about thirty years old, it is the most peak and brilliant time in life, so it should not be ugly to inherit the high-quality genes of two people...... Unfortunately, there are no mirrors.
After being stunned for a long time, Xie Daoyun finished the tea, and the two of them exchanged a few words with their parents again, Wang Xizhi waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave, and said with a slight joke: "When the two of you are in love, you don't have to accompany the two of us to nag, you are also reluctant to come, I heard that your brothers want to pay attention to the new gentleman, then go, don't delay the time." ”
Wang Ningzhi hurriedly smiled and said that he didn't dare, he had a preliminary impression of the parents now, they were quite easy to get along with, and he planned to take advantage of the time he was alone to communicate with Xie Daoyun, after all, he was a lifelong wife, and he didn't know that divorce was in vogue in this era, but it should be unfavorable to the woman, no matter how much he was a jerk, he didn't want to make the girl next to him unhappy. So after going out, he was about to say something to Xie Daoyun, and pulled the other party to evaluate Mr. Teaching, who would have thought that as soon as he went out, Xie Daoyun said to him: "Lang Jun go alone, the concubine wants to disturb the sister-in-law." ”
So he left him.
Leaving him alone outside the door, facing the dazzling sunlight in the east, facing the unfamiliar building, after a long time, he said in hindsight:
"Shhh...... Where do I go? ”
