Looking at his uneasy son in front of him, Wang Qinghong's face was a little unpleasant: "The patriarch really said that?" Don't order not to go to Xishan privately, otherwise you will be punished in the name of 'disrespecting the ancestors'? ”

Wang Sanlang nodded and said, "That's what Grandfather said. Xishan Temple was originally the place where the ancestors of the Wang family practiced, when the ancestors had already left a will, the descendants of the Wang family were not allowed to go to Xishan privately without permission, and entered the Xishan Temple privately, otherwise it would be 'disobedient'. He also said that it doesn't matter who it is or what the reason is, the family rules are in front of it, and they should not be violated lightly. It was for this reason that the seventh brother was beaten last year and punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall. ”

Wang Qinghong is a descendant of the Wang family and the head of a house, of course he has heard of this family rule. It's just that the West Mountain is remote, and ordinary people won't go over if they have nothing to do, and there are not many people who pay special attention to this family rule.

He had been to the West Mountain a few days ago, and in his opinion, the so-called "West Mountain" was just a slightly higher mountain bag, and the "West Mountain Temple" was even more unworthy of the name.

It is called a temple, and it is more like an outer courtyard for the family elders to live in seclusion.

The reason why he asked San Lang to go to the sect room to say hello before Xishan was just a formality. After all, rules are dead, people are alive. If you really want to talk about the clan rules, then Shiro, who returned to Xishan without the nod of his parents, is not he violating the clan rules and should be punished?

The patriarch didn't mention Shiro's fault, but forbade Saburo to go up the mountain. He should know that San Lang came forward on his behalf and brought out the clan rules to talk about things, so he was a little ruthless.

In addition to being unhappy, Wang Qinghong was also a little puzzled, obviously remembering that the patriarch treated him close to Wen Xu, why did he turn his face and deny people in a few days? Naturally, he didn't look for fault with himself, so he wondered if the concubine had said something ugly after returning to Xishan Temple with his grievances, which caused the old patriarch to have a prejudice against himself.

Thinking of this, he became more and more annoyed with the Taoist idiot, feeling that this son made the family uneasy as soon as he first appeared, and he ruined his family's face by stirring up wind and rain outside, which was really hateful.

In order to be afraid that the clansmen would say that he was contemptuous of his concubine, he planned to persuade his mother to only move the Taoist idiot to the outer courtyard and not live in separate houses; Now that he is angry with the sect, he can't help but be a little angry, and his concubine's heart is a little colder.

But no matter whether he is sincere and filial or not, he can't really hurt the old mother's heart for a concubine who has just been together for a few days.

It's just that although he has made a decision, although he is a little dissatisfied with the clan, he also knows that everyone else in the clan can be offended, but the clan must not be offended. From his cousin to Jingtang, no matter whether he is reinstated as a foreign official or promoted to Beijing in the future, he will not be able to take care of this cousin.

On the side of the sect, you still have to go once, and if the patriarch has misunderstandings and prejudices about himself, he should also explain it.

Thinking like this, Wang Qinghong called the housekeeper and told him to go to the sect to post, if it was cheap on the patriarch's side, he would go over tomorrow morning to say goodbye.

The housekeeper answered, and Wang Sanlang hesitated and said, "Master, could it be that my uncle and grandfather knew that Shiro didn't want to see us, so he didn't allow us to go up the mountain?" ”

Wang Qinghong frowned and said, "What did you say?" Shiro is a yellow-mouthed child, where is the head of the group? The clan rules have been around for a long time, and the patriarch acts according to the clan rules, where is it for the twelve rooms? Hurry up and do your homework, even if you don't go to school today, don't be lazy, and don't be distracted by these idle things. ”

Wang Sanlang didn't agree with his father's words in his heart, but he didn't have the habit of arguing with his own son, so he honestly responded and went back to Tongyuan.

Wang Qinghong was left alone in the study, and he was a little embarrassed, and he remembered the past for some reason.

He was proud of the spring breeze in the officialdom back then, but because of his father's funeral, he took his wife and children back to his hometown to guard the system. To add insult to injury, the two sisters-in-law died of illness after returning to their hometown. The pregnant wife, because of the hard journey, started ahead of schedule, and the birth of the daughter was injured. The doctor made it clear that it will be difficult to conceive in the future.

He was standing at the end of his age, and there was only one daughter left under his knees. He also sighed in his heart about the matter of his heirs, but he just thought that he was still young, and his wife had experienced the pain of losing a child, so he had to slow down and make plans in a few years. However, his mother forced him to die and arranged for him to take his uncle's cousin as a concubine before he left his hometown. He knew his mother's urgency, not only because he was old, but also because he was worried that after he left his hometown, he would be constrained by his wife and would not be able to accept concubines.

He really couldn't help it, knowing that it would hurt his wife's heart, but he still obeyed his mother's wishes, after all, "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest".

Because of the guilt of his wife, after taking a concubine, he still took his wife as the main one, and stayed in his wife's room for six or seven days in ten days. Fortunately, all wishes came true, and the wife and concubine were found to be pregnant at the same time. He was overjoyed, left his wife and concubine in his hometown to give birth, and went to Jiangxi to take up his post.

When he received the letter from home and knew that he had two sons and his cousin's concubine died in childbirth, he was puzzled at the same time, but he was also secretly relieved, fortunately his wife was safe. In addition to the love affair, there are also some selfishness that is difficult to say. As for Bo Ming's cousin, under the care and care of his mother, he can't pass the maternity pass, whether there is a wife's hands and feet in this, Wang Qinghong is a little afraid to think.

When his two sons were about to be one year old, he wrote back to discuss the matter of taking over the family to the office, and he got the news that the concubine was "born stupid". He had no objection to his mother's letter about leaving his concubine in Anlu. And once again, I am glad that it is the concubine who is "born stupid", not the concubine born by the wife, otherwise it would be really impossible to hide it.

Then, when the family arrived, he found that his wife's attitude towards him had changed, and he was no longer as happy and angry as before. His wife seems to respect herself more and more, but she also loses the intimacy of her early years. She didn't twist the sour in the room next to her, and took the initiative to open the face of the maid waiting in his study, serving her mother-in-law and raising a pair of children, which can be called a virtuous person. As for the beautiful maid sent outside, as long as Wang Qinghong does not shake his head, he will also accept it and place it properly.

At the beginning, Wang Qinghong was secretly proud, thinking that it was because his mother would train her daughter-in-law that made his wife supple, and he was quite satisfied with this kind of life of a virtuous wife and concubine.

But after a long time, he tasted it. In the eyes of the wife, the most important thing is no longer his husband, but a pair of children, and the love between husband and wife is thin.

Although he was secretly disappointed, he did not care too much about his wife. Until he was promoted to participate in politics and went to Nanchang Mansion, the pressure outside became more and more intense, and he had no intention of tasting those "vases", and would rather nag with his wife in one place. came and went, and there was Goro, but it seemed that the relationship between the husband and wife had eased, but he knew in his heart that there was a mustard between the husband and wife, and it was still not as good as the early years.

This time when I returned to my hometown, except for the two interrooms arranged by my wife and mother, the other concubines were all sent and did not bring them back.

If you really want to talk about it, he was sorry for his wife when he accepted the second room. Although the Yue family didn't say anything about this matter, they were not as close as they were in the early years, and the letters they exchanged were all face-saving words, and the feelings became more and more shallow.

Wang Qinghong knows these things, but he is arrogant, and if the Yue family doesn't want to see him, he won't go up the pole to get close. However, he was secretly dissatisfied with his wife, feeling that she should not return to her parents' house for everything.

By taking Shiro back to the house, he had an attack with his wife, also because the resentment in his heart had been suppressed for too long. I didn't expect to explore the matter, and I really didn't do my wife's business. He has been a little uncomfortable in the past two days, but for the sake of face, it is not good to take the initiative to compensate his wife. Fortunately, my wife didn't care.

This time, according to her mother's wishes, will it make her feel more comfortable by moving her concubine outside......

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone at the door: "Master, the villain is back." ”

It was the voice of the housekeeper Li Zhong.

Wang Qinghong rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Come in." ”

Li Zhong came in response, and Wang Qinghong said, "What's the reply over there?" ”

Li Zhong bowed down and said: "Master, the patriarch asked the villain to tell the master, saying that the master will take the third young master over tomorrow, don't forget to take the car, the patriarch said that he would take the master and the third young master to Xishan." ”

Listening to the previous words, Wang Qinghong's expression gradually softened; When I heard the last sentence, I couldn't help frowning. Could it be that they are going to pick up Shiro with their father and son? Where does it take to get to this point?

Immediately thinking of the old patriarch's age, he denied the matter again. If it was just for the sake of picking up people, the old patriarch would arrange for others to lead the way, where would he come forward in person? This summer weather is not a good time to toss.

Thinking of the last time he was in Xishan Temple, the old patriarch's respect for the old monk, Wang Qinghong felt that his scalp was a little numb.

Could it be that the old monk who raised Shiro wants to teach himself a lesson to make Shiro angry?

*

Outside the city, West Hill.

When going down the mountain, Wang Ning let the Taoist idiot support him, his eyes were crooked, and the joy on his face was not hidden. Wang Zhen was beside her, secretly surprised. Where does this Wang Ning still have the appearance of the stubborn old woman who stood up on the top of the door when she went up the mountain, her face was full of love and softness.

Do you like to eat salty or light, whether you like to eat rice cakes or pastries, do you have any other favorite to play besides reading books......

Wang Ning asked in a rambling manner, but the affection in and out of his words made the idiot's nose sour. He answered one by one, very seriously, without the slightest hint of impatience.

Wang Zhen felt bored at first, but when she heard it, her heart couldn't help but soften. The two ancestors and grandchildren only met today, but looking at the actions of the two, they will only get better and better.

He pondered in his heart the sentence that the idiot said, "If you don't do it, you won't be powerful." Potential, suitable. If it is suitable, it will be born, and if it is against it, it will be dangerous; If you gain it, you will be strong, and if you lose it, you will be weak", the more you think about it, the more sharp and appropriate it feels.

He couldn't help but secretly decide that this little cousin had great ambitions, and he must have a good relationship with this little cousin in the future......;
