The sky was gloomy, and after Wang Xizhi got up, he didn't go out, and hid in the study alone, reading and practicing calligraphy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is a cup of tea on the coffee table with a faint fragrance, which is brewed by Mrs. Xi Xuan, and there are four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study next to him, he sits sideways, his clothes are a little messy, informal, holding the "Big Hole True Scripture", copying books and practicing words while reading.

Although the second son Wang Ningzhi and the Shangqing faction of the Taoist relationship, he did not care, the hand of the "Dadong Sutra" is the Shangqing faction recently passed out of the true scripture, by the Situ Mansion Sheren Yang Xi out, rumored to be the immortal has long passed away Purple Void Yuan Jun Wei Hua Cuntou Dream Manifestation made, but it is not true or false, but the words of this true scripture are obscure, very subtle, for his liking, even when watching, I will think in my heart, "The Great Cave Sutra" comes out, the influence of the Shangqing faction will expand again, Erlang is concerned about the Qixia Taoist people, I'm afraid that the future will not be easy.

But there is no reminder: children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and they must solve everything they encounter by themselves.

The knocker suddenly knocked lightly a few times, interrupting Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, making him a little irritable, and the emotions he had just said to cultivate were instantly disintegrated.

"Lang Jun." It was Xi Xuan's voice.

When he was at home, Wang Xizhi was not used to the service of the concubine, compared to the rough concubine, but his wife Xi Xuan could understand his mind better, and his every move would give him the greatest satisfaction, which is why the husband and wife are still in love after several years of marriage...... Therefore, after learning that it was Xi Xuan, he suppressed the irritability in his heart.

"Come in." He replied, and then saw Xi Xuan, who was still Fanghua, walking in, followed by a man in a bureaucratic robe.

"The officials of the county guard mansion are here for the sake of Dalang." Xi Xuan said simply, "He has a letter written by the county keeper himself, you can take a look." ”

The little official stepped forward at this time, but there was no respect as others saw Wang Xizhi, and with a faint expression, he handed over the letter.

Fortunately, Wang Xizhi didn't care, opened the letter, took the letter inside and read it, his face instantly became gloomy, he frowned, and asked the little official: "Is this a decision made by Jinyan (Xu Shenzi) himself?" ”

"Exactly." The little official nodded, "It's a matter of political affairs, I need to meet Wang Xuanzhi in person, and I also ask the right army to make it convenient." ”

Xi Xuan didn't know what was going on, she was a woman, and she was well versed in the way of the imperial husband, so she naturally wouldn't ask, so as not to embarrass the man, but listening to what the little official said, it was related to her sick eldest son Wang Xuanzhi, which made her very worried, and her eyes wandered over Wang Xizhi and the little official, hoping that which of them could solve her doubts.

"Madam, you go and call Erlang and ask him to take this to see Dalang." Wang Xizhi stared at Xi Xuan with deep meaning, and there was something in his eyes that only the husband and wife could understand, "Lord County Shou asked Da Lang to take the initiative to resign, and you should inform Erlang on the way, so that he can persuade his brother more." ”

"I see." Xi Xuan responded, and nodded at Wang Xizhi, indicating that he understood his hint, and then turned to leave.

……

The wind is blowing.

The depressed and dull feeling was swept away by the whirring wind, and the dark clouds in mid-air seemed to be close at hand, and they began to move, moving slowly, following the direction of the wind, gathering more and more, and the color also changed to pitch black, just like the best pine smoke ink, "taken from the pine smoke of Dianshan, the deer glue of Daijun, and more than ten years of strong stone for it", which is the favorite color of those who are good at calligraphy.

When Xi Xuan rushed over, lightning had already begun to appear, followed by the roar of thunder.

This is Wang Ningzhi's first intimate contact with his mother since he crossed over, but because of the eldest brother, the two talked for a long time, and his mother was concise and to the point, and her speaking style was similar to Wang Xizhi's, so that he quickly knew what he was going to do...... Obviously, this is not a good errand, but it is a matter of its own, and refusal is obviously unlikely.

He could only agree to let his mother feel at ease: "This matter is not big, it is not small, but at this juncture to force my eldest brother to resign, it is obviously related to me, then I can't stand idly by, don't worry, mother, I have my own measure, handle it as well as possible, it is the eldest brother's side, after this matter, I am afraid that I will be depressed a lot, and depression is not good for my health, and I hope that my mother will have time to accompany my eldest brother more." ”

Xi Xuan was very satisfied after hearing this, looked at him for a long time, and spoke in a tone full of this: "Erlang, you have also grown up......"

……

Wang Ningzhi saw the little official, but he was also familiar, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he recalled that this was also the person who was in the same pavilion as him at the Spring Festival that day, but his identity should not be high, at most he was just a son of a poor family, so he would stammer Xu Shen's thighs.

Such an impression depends on the senses given to him by the little official, although it can be said that the eyebrows are clear, but if you look closely, there is a faint sense of the misconception of a sharp-beaked monkey's gills.

His name is Sun Runnian.

is different from when he met Wang Xi, Sun Runnian saw Wang Ningzhi, but he behaved very respectfully, and spoke a little lowly, but the implicit meaning of what he said before and after, in addition to complimenting Wang Ningzhi's talent, was to persuade Wang Xuanzhi to resign and not to be a moth.

Wang Ningzhi responded with a smile, and did not show that he was moved by him, so that Sun Runnian was shocked, so he simply shut up, followed Wang Ning honestly, and walked towards the big house.

The big house is not remote, and it is very close to Wang Xizhi's residence, it can be seen that Wang Xuanzhi was treated as the heir of the family from the beginning, which can be regarded as the power center of a family, if it were not for Wang Xuanzhi's serious illness and inability to deal with family affairs, it would not be Wang Ningzhi's turn to intervene at all. It's okay now, Wang Ningzhi, who has learned how to deal with family affairs, has handled it well, after all, he has mature management experience, and dealing with it in the past few days is enough to make Wang Xizhi and them feel at ease.

Obviously, Wang Xizhi also knows about the changes on the part side, but they also let him change and do not stop them.

There are a lot fewer people on Wang Xuanzhi's side, and it was a little quiet for a while, so that it is not so indifferent that the slaves and maids should be dispersed by the He family, so as not to disturb Wang Xuanzhi's recuperation.

There were only two or three older maidservants here who were tidying up, and when they saw Wang Ningzhi coming, they hurriedly called He out.

"Sister-in-law, is my eldest brother awake?" Wang Ningzhi asked.

He is still beautiful, but he is worried about his husband, he has been a little thin in recent days, and his face is obviously a little tired, seeing that it is Wang Ningzhi, he immediately cheered up and bloomed with an elegant smile: "Awake, I just drank some porridge, and I have been a little more energetic recently, it should be the food and practices sent by Erlang that have taken effect, and Lang Jun has always asked me to thank you." ”

"This is what I should do, the family also talked about gratitude, and my sister-in-law was born." Wang Ningzhi walked over and introduced Sun Runnian to her, and at the same time comforted her and said, "No matter what the eldest brother's health is, sister-in-law, please take care of your body, if you are also tired and sick, the eldest brother will probably feel distressed." ”

Sun Runnian also nodded: "Madame." ”

"What is this?"

"From the county guard's mansion, finding the eldest brother is a matter of political affairs, and if it is convenient, he needs to have an interview with the eldest brother." Wang Ningzhi said calmly.

"Lang Jun is lying in the study, since there is something to do, let's go in." He Shi made a gesture of invitation and let Sun Runnian walk in, but he only pulled Wang Ningzhi when he was about to go in, without the mature elegance in front of outsiders, but a little worried, but with the posture of a little woman, "Erlang, isn't the county guard Xu Shen who intersected with Xu Lian who kidnapped you?" Isn't it a good thing that he sent someone to find Lang Jun? ”

Wang Ningzhi nodded helplessly, and heard the voices of Wang Xuanzhi and Sun Runnian in the study, he whispered: "This is not impossible to say, Xu Shen said that he has nothing to do with Xu Heng, and no one will believe it, the uncles in our court have put pressure on Xu Shen, and now it seems that he is going to take revenge...... Since the eldest brother was sick, he couldn't take office, he used this as an excuse to let this Sun Runnian come over to persuade the eldest brother to take the initiative to resign, if I guessed correctly, this is just his first move, dare to go against the Wang family, he should have found the hole card. ”

"So what to do?" He was angry, and his soft eyes were a little moist.

"You can only take one step at a time." Wang Ningzhi shook his head and walked into the study, only He couldn't come in because he was a woman.

When he walked into the study, he saw Wang Xuanzhi lying on the couch, his face was pale and obviously stiff, staring at the books in his hands with a cold face, and let Sun Runnian persuade him there.

"Bo Yuan's illness has been more than two months, the position is vacant, but people can't handle government affairs, many things are backlogged, so that the county guard is very troubled, and there is not only one case of Bo Yuan, there is Bo Yuan in danger, some people also quit their illness and returned home, but they occupy the official position...... Boyuan, you have a lot of influence, and Lord Gunden just wants you to set an example......"

However, Wang Xuanzhi didn't listen, not that he cared about this official position, but that Xu Shen was obviously making things difficult for him, and there were not a few people who returned home due to illness but stood in an official position, and I hadn't heard of anyone who resigned early, and his official position was an idle position, what kind of government backlog could there be, if he obediently resigned, maybe there would be rumors tomorrow...... Therefore, he stiffened his face and still refused: "Why don't others set an example?" ”

Sun Runnian wanted to continue to persuade, but was interrupted by Wang Ningzhi, who walked in: "The county guard sent Brother Sun here, it should just be a formality, whether my eldest brother agrees or not, you all have a way to remove him from his official position." ”

"Brother Shuping, you misunderstand the ...... of adults like this," Sun Runnian said in a sneer, obviously subconsciously justifying after being said.

Wang Ningzhi smiled and said to Wang Xuanzhi: "Big brother, you should go down, don't embarrass others." ”

Wang Xuanzhi hesitated, stared at Wang Ningzhi for a long time, and gradually showed a trace of tiredness, and finally waved his hand and said, "Then you should come down, you go and respond to the county guard, and I will write a resignation letter and let someone bring it over...... Go first, I'm a little tired and want to rest. ”

"If you're satisfied, let's leave if you're satisfied, I still have something to do here, so I won't send you." Wang Ningzhi followed Sun Runnian out, and he didn't mean to send him off, "You should remember the road, if you don't remember, just find a small guy to take you out, the Wang family is a bit big, and it's not the same as the county guard's mansion......"

After completing what was explained, Sun Runnian breathed a sigh of relief, but in front of Wang Ningzhi, he was still a little humble, even if he knew that he had been insulted, he seemed to think that Wang Ningzhi was very powerful, and he didn't dare to show dissatisfaction.

He's slender body stood alone in the courtyard, the flowers and plants that she loved on weekdays were a little wilted because she was not carefully cared for by the owner, and after Sun Runnian left, she stretched out her hands to cover her face and sobbed softly.

"Sister-in-law?"

He didn't dare to withdraw his hand, and said in a choked voice: "I heard what Erlang said after he went in...... You, Erlang definitely won't hurt your eldest brother, it's just, it's just ......"

Wang Ningzhi sighed, the He family at this moment is really miserable, and he can't bear it, but his character has already been characterized by people on weekdays, if he tells his sister-in-law now that he will solve this matter, not only to solve this matter, but also to hit the other side, it is estimated that she will not believe it, just as a polite word.

Faint thunder, hazy sky.

The wind blows, the rain falls.

The drizzle fell without leaving a gap, drowning the two people opposite each other in the courtyard......
