[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Wang Ren returned to the banquet, looked around and did not find Shisan's figure, so he stopped asking about his identity, and returned to his seat to hang around until the banquet was over.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to move his chopsticks, Xiaobu, who often followed the master, ran over to him and said, "Master, the master told you to go over."

Probably because of a conditioned reflex, Wang Ren just shook his hand when he picked up the chopsticks.

He followed Wang Ziteng with his head down, and when he looked up and saw that cold face, Wang Ren's mood sank immediately.

Could it be that she saw him go to another place to play secretly, so she came to reprimand him?

Unexpectedly, although Wang Ziteng spoke harshly this time, it was not a reproach: "I will take you to meet some adults in a while. They are all officials in the same dynasty. Don't be rude if you follow me."

Wang Ren was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he know what Wang Ziteng was planning, so he nodded helplessly.

Can he pretend to be dumb?

After that, a middle-aged man who seemed to be 40 years old came over with a smile on his face, and greeted Wang Ziteng familiarly: "My lord, today I am grateful to you for coming to the little girl's wedding banquet, it is full of splendor!"

"You're welcome." Wang Ziteng said with a smile.

"This is Mr. Wang's son. Looking at his handsome appearance, Mr. Wang is blessed!"

"Hahaha." Wang Ziteng waved his hands and said to Wang Ren, "This is Mr. Li, the inspector of salt and censor."

Wang Ren understood, imitating Wang Ziteng's movements and saluting, bending over a little wider, the ancient etiquette... probably looks like this.

Perhaps it was because Wang Ren's attitude seemed very respectful, and the other party didn't care too much about his etiquette.

If you can't learn the ancient etiquette, it's okay to pretend.

According to the conversation between the two, Wang Ren probably guessed the identity of Master Li, and glanced at the other person's face without any trace, and he probably had a clue in his heart.

This man has a broad jaw, a clever mind but a big ambition, and a capsized mouth, cunning and greedy.

What a perfect image of a corrupt official.

At this moment, a man in red groom's official clothes came over. When he saw Wang Ziteng, he took a few steps forward and bowed his hands cautiously. Maybe it was because of the country bumpkin's attitude that Li Jiayu chose him among many candidates.Like Wang Ren, even if you are not used to these etiquettes, you have to learn to put on a show.

"Lord Wang." Tian Ruien's face was a little pale, with a look of bewilderment, he looked at Li Jiayu, hesitant to speak.

Wang Ren looked at the man in front of him who had just become the groom's official, and suddenly felt that the other person's stature was very similar to the person he saw by the pool. He carefully recalled that one of the people by the pool was indeed wearing reddish clothes, maybe It is because there is no light over there, and it can only be seen by the light reflected by the water waves, so it is not real.

If one of them is Tian Ruien, who is the other?

Wang Ren glanced at Li Jiayu's Weifu figure, denying the possibility of this person.

Although the other one couldn't see clearly, he was thin and a bit tall.It's far from Li Jiayu, who is short and fat.

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Li Jiayu saw Tian Ruien's hesitation, and said directly: "Come on, this is Mr. Wang's only son, let's get to know him."

Just as Tian Ruizheng raised his hand, before he could speak, he was stunned when he saw Wang Ren's face, and he didn't come back to his senses until Li Jiayu pushed him: "Ah, because it looks like a Taoist priest I met before, so I was so scared that I lost my mind." The Taoist priest's status is higher than that of a street fortune teller, so it is not rude to say so.

"No problem." Wang Ren replied, "I have indeed been to a Taoist temple, and I am very interested in practicing Taoism."

Is the Taoist leader right? They all belong to the category of metaphysics, why don't you try to practice Taoism?

As soon as Wang Ren's words fell, Wang Ziteng's expression turned pale. He glared at Wang Ren, exchanged greetings for a while, and then let Wang Ren go. He seemed to have no intention of taking him to see other adults, as if he was going back to settle accounts. expression.

Wang Ren was also relieved.

Sure enough, when he got home, Wang Ziteng shouted angrily: "Nizi! Kneel down!"

"This...why did you get so angry when you just came back?" The wife who heard her husband's roar had just opened the curtain and entered the room when she heard her husband's return. She was startled and stepped forward to pat Wang Ziteng's back. : "What's the matter, what's the matter? Did Ren'er do something wrong again?"

Hearing his wife address him, Wang Ren shivered.

"Of course he did something wrong! He actually said in front of Li Jiayu today that he was interested in cultivating Taoism! Do you want to go out to practice Taoism like Jia Jing from Ningguo Mansion!"

Wang Ren: ...

The madam was also taken aback, and looked at Wang Ren in surprise, but she didn't say anything, she just lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Confinement for three days! You are not allowed to go out for three days!" The prince said angrily, "You'd better completely forget about cultivating the Tao!"

He was panting heavily and was about to leave, but suddenly he paused and turned his head and said, "Even if you want to practice Taoism, you should at least give me a few children before you can cultivate! If you are not the only one under my knees, I don't care what you do!" Prince Teng shook his head. Sleeve away.

Only the wife was left watching Wang Ren silently, and then she said quietly: "Listen to your father, don't go out after three days of confinement." After she finished speaking, she brushed past him.

Only Wang Ren was left kneeling alone in the hall.

I hate this evil feudal society! ! !

"Master..." The servant Banxia walked over cautiously: "Master and Madam are gone, are you... getting up?"

"If you don't get up, don't you want to kneel until the end of time!" Wang Ren gritted his teeth.

Pinellia: ...

After the madam returned to her courtyard, she thought about it and finally couldn't help but write a letter to her daughter.

When she learned that Wang Ren said that she wanted to practice Taoism, the lady admitted that she was very happy.

Even though Wang Ren recognized it under her own name, no one except her husband knew that he was not her own, but she still couldn't like this child.After all, his biological mother was the chief culprit who caused her to never have another child. If she could, she didn't want this child to have such a good status as a legitimate son and inherit the family.At that time, if her married daughter is wronged in the Jia family, she will still have to rely on this child.

But it cannot be denied that Wang Ren is Wang Ziteng's only son.

Even though Wang Ziteng went back and forth in and out of the rooms of several aunts, and had a few little girls by his side, but pregnancy... is really rare.

In the past, there was indeed Madam's handwriting, but now since she is barren, Madam never intervenes in Wang Ziteng's affairs.

Probably Wang Ziteng is really too old to die.

But even so, Madam still had an idea in her heart, what if another boy was born?

Can she be hugged again, leave the mother and keep the child, and raise it as her own?

Of course, all of this is nothing but fantasy.

Since Wang Ren's biological mother was erased, he can only be the wife's first son. Even if a child is born and carried to the wife, Wang Ren will still be the eldest son after all.

What's more, the child born in the concubine belongs to the concubine who has seen the light. How can he be so lucky as before that he can go to the mother to keep the child, and take it away as his own.
