The room was quiet for a long time.

Mrs. Tao also stared at Wang Zhen for a long time.

The man in front of him was nearly 20 years old. Although he still had a good-looking appearance, he no longer had the jade-like charm he had when he was young. He began to put on weight and became sleepy and mellow. At this time, he had not slept for two nights, and the look on his face

The beard is a bit ugly, and the clothes on his body smell a bit smelly.

Mrs. Tao turned around, wiped away her tears, and suddenly said: "Let's make peace."

Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment.

"Do you think you are making any progress now?" Tao said, "I've had enough of this kind of life. How should I put it? Just like if you want to eat gold ingot meat every meal, I will accompany you to eat it.

It's great that you are a fat and ugly woman, but you end up being romantic and happy outside. Yes, those twenty-eight beauties are in the right age, and they can harmonize with your poetry, knowing that you understand you. But I am just a man who gets into the eyes of money.

Stupid woman, my whole family and I are just clinging to my cousin's wings! You don't look down on me, and I don't look down on your gentle temper. I used to think that I was marrying someone among the people.

He is a talented man, but he is just a loser. Since we hate each other, let’s just part ways from now on!”

Wang Zhen pouted and said nothing.

"We have been husband and wife for ten years, and we have resented each other. From now on, you will live your romantic life in poetry and books, and I will live my worldly wealth and wealth. It is precisely because 'different ways do not work together'... I have been managing your Wang family for half my life, and today I only ask for

You give me a document to release my wife. I have already paid fifteen thousand taels of the shortfall of 20,000 taels of silver with dowry. Today, these 6,000 taels are what I owe you. And...a pair of children will be left to your Wang family.

yes."

Wang Zhen shook her head.

Tao said: "I am not angry with you. How much have I paid for your imperial examination career? In the end, you said you would not take the exam. Have you ever asked me? Now I understand, you

Write a letter to let your wife go, and from now on you can go and be free in this flower field ten miles away in the capital. I, Tao Wenjun, can also comb my hair again and become a high official again."

She said calmly, took a piece of paper and spread it on the table, then took a pen and handed it to Wang Zhen.

"Write it."

Wang Zhen's eyes were red and she remained silent.

Tao passed the pen forward again.

Wang Zhen knocked the brush out of her eyes and kicked it hard on the table.

The legs of the table were kicked off by him, the table full of account books and banknotes fell down, and the ink in the inkstone spilled out, blurring the floor.

"I can't write it!"

Wang Zhen said, flicked her sleeves, and slammed the door angrily.

He didn't want others at home to see him and his wife quarreling, so he didn't go out of the yard. He just sat down on the stone table in the yard, feeling depressed.

But suddenly someone shouted: "Brother."

Wang Zhen looked up and saw Wang Xiao walking around from the front of the yard.

Youthful and graceful, marching forward.

Wang Zhen was slightly in a daze. At that time, she was also at the same age, and she was very excited when she won the exam.

"At that time, I was young and my clothes were thin. I was riding a horse and leaning on a leaning bridge, and the buildings were full of red sleeves."

Then, he married Tao Wenjun. Under the red hijab, he had a charming face and a slight smile, and his attitude was profound and sincere...

When he came back to his senses, Wang Xiao was already in front of him.

"Smile?" Even though she was not in a good mood, Wang Zhen still smiled reluctantly.

Wang Xiao was hesitant to speak and looked around.

"I didn't expect my brother's backyard to have such a vegetable patch, with a border of spring green chives and ten miles of fragrant rice flowers. It's really unique." Wang said with a smile.

He said this sentence after thinking for a while. His tone was smooth and his thoughts were clear. He felt that he had the courtesy and demeanor of a young man from an aristocratic family.

Wang Zhen nodded and said calmly: "I'm just doing it for fun."

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment. Brother, this is not the reaction I wanted. Didn't you notice that the way I spoke was smart and not stupid at all? Weren't you shocked by me?

Wang Xiao had no choice but to say "haha" and continued: "Young man has no sense of vulgarity, and his nature is to love hills and mountains. My eldest brother is really like Tao Yuanming."

Wang Zhen turned around and asked: "Xiao'er, you came here just to praise me?"

Wang Xiao took a deep breath.

After looking at Wang Zhen, he finally asked: "Brother, can't you see that I'm not demented?"

"I've seen it a long time ago." Wang Zhen said.

"When?" Wang Xiao said sarcastically.

"I was just suspicious at first," Wang Zhen said, "I was sure that you were targeting Zhang Heng in Fangting."

"Why?"

Wang Zhendao: "You used to treat people equally, but that day you could feel...that boy Zhang Heng is annoying, you must have woken up."

Enlightenment?

This word is really well used, and he deserves to be a scholar.

Wang Xiao nodded vigorously and said, "Aren't you surprised?"

Wang Zhen sighed and exclaimed: "I'm very surprised."

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and thought to himself: You don't look surprised at all.

"Then you have nothing to ask me?"

"Yes." Wang Zhen sighed.

Wang Xiao took a deep breath again, feeling a little nervous.

He was waiting for Wang Zhen to question him.

Wang Zhen raised her head and looked at the sky, but felt a little sad in her heart: "After ten years of marriage, will we finally reach the point of separation?"

Wang Xiao really waited for a long time.

Finally, he became a little annoyed. Brother, you should ask! If you don't ask, I have been feeling very uneasy for the past two days!

"Brother, don't you ask me how I got enlightened?"

"How did you get the smile?"

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, what was supposed to come finally came.

"A few days ago, I was beaten with a stick in Xifu and I fainted. Then when I woke up, I found that I had an awakening." Wang Xiao had been preparing for a long time, and now he took out the prepared words:

"Did you know? For the past fifteen years, everyone has thought that I have dementia. In fact, I am not dementia. It's just that the world I see is different from everyone else's."

"Oh? How is it different?" Wang Zhen finally became a little interested.

"That's...for example, you can see me standing in front of you. But the world I actually see in my mind is not like this. The self in my mind is in another place...that is to say: my body is here,

But my mind is in another world. I only have a little consciousness to talk to you, so you think I am stupid. But that stick brought me back to this world. It is really difficult to explain.

Brother, can you believe me?"

Wang Zhen nodded: "I believe it."

As he said this, he thought to himself: "Perhaps when I get along with your sister-in-law, it's the same way. We seem to be in harmony but yet so different from each other..."

"Brother, do you really believe it?" Wang Xiao asked cautiously.

"I really believe it." Wang Zhen responded.

"real?"

Wang Zhen had no choice but to look into Wang Xiao's eyes and said solemnly: "It's absolutely true. You are my biological brother from the same mother. How can I still not believe you?"

After hearing this sentence, Wang Xiao's heart finally dropped.

"Brother, just trust me."

Wang Zhen frowned and asked: "Who hit you? Wang Bao? Wang Cong? Wang Dang?"

Wang Xiao shook his head and said: "I don't remember...but..."

He hesitated a little, but still cautiously said: "But, you weren't the one who hit me, right?"

Some things are better said clearly.

"Me? Why did I hit you?"

"Because if I marry the princess, you can no longer be an official?" Wang Xiao asked cautiously.

He stood on tiptoe slightly, ready to run at any moment.

Wang Zhen thought for a while and didn't know what to say, so she said: "It's not like this. I failed the test. I didn't want to take the test again for a long time, but I couldn't say it because of my face. I'm actually relieved that you favored the princess."

A breath of fresh air.”

"real?"

"real."
