Chapter 22: Homesickness
What will two years look like?
Although Long Pan had already established his supremacy in Shifang City, in the past two years, he had not stopped enterprising. The www.biquge.info bizarre thing about the pen "Fun" Pavilion is that no matter where he points to fight, he is invincible, like divine help. He has not tasted defeat in two years. Two years have passed, and Shifang City has faintly had the posture of dominating the world.
When Sima Die first danced, although it was only carried out in the heavily guarded Lingxiao Palace, somehow, his reputation did not spread. Together with Mei Yu'er, it is called "Jade Butterfly Shuangshu", not only in Shifang City, but also in the whole world.
Sima Die's sibling brother Sima Jian was originally a businessman, half of his life was his own, and half of his life depended on God's mood. But because of Sima Die's relationship, he also got the reuse of Longpan: Longpan simply handed over the affairs of the merchants under his hand to Sima Jian. Sima Jian has both talent and no worries about his life, so he is also showing his skills. The business alliance created by him is the logistics of the dragon plate as the stability of the upper part, supplying all the necessary military materials and materials, and the lower part of the businessmen to seek common development. At the same time, no one has fallen to their lives because they have been overwhelmed by the burden of exploitation. The businessmen were grateful to Sima Jian, and they didn't have to do everything. And this model created by Sima Jian is not only a dragon plate, but also affects the forces in other places. Each faction has cultivated its own business alliance. The status of businessmen has risen, and Sima Jian has made great contributions. The reputation is far more than that of his sister Sima Die.
The sun is shining. Heat fumigation. It's another hot summer.
When Sima Jian's brothers and sisters came two years ago, they were trembling and trembling, even looking at the excessively wide streets in Shifang City, they felt apprehensive and uneasy. But now, Sima Jian's fresh clothes and angry horses galloped at will, and others avoided them from aside, with a look of respect and envy on his face.
"Yo, Master Sima, where are you from?"
Sima Jian turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins of the horse to the doorman who was smiling and greeted him in the middle of the road early. He always smiled mildly: "Ah Rong, you are on duty again today, is your leg injury better?"
"Hey, hey. Thanks to the adult, now there is no problem with a fight. ”
"You kid, let's stop. Sima Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm here to visit your wife." Is your wife there?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Madame seems to know that the adults will come today, and she has not gone out for a day today. ”
Since marrying Qi Yi, Sima Die has put away his unrestrained temperament in the past and interacted more with the wives of other colleagues. Going to this house for a banquet today, and going to that house for tea tomorrow is rare for a few days to be free. Sima Jian nodded when he heard this, and no longer answered. After entering the gate, he walked straight to the main courtyard where Sima Die lived.
The people welcomed Sima Jian to serve tea in the flower hall. Someone had already been informed of the entrance. Sima Die was naturally overjoyed when he learned that his brother was coming. When the two brothers and sisters met, they didn't have to care too much, she only dressed up a little, and then came to the hall accompanied by the maid pavilion, at that time, she was only half a step later than Sima Jian.
Sima Jian looked at the girl carefully: I haven't seen her for a while, but Sima Die seems to have grown a lot more beautiful. At this time, Sima Die's figure has grown taller than when he first came two years ago, and his appearance has become more open, plus what he has seen and heard in the past two years, imperceptibly, and now the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes, gorgeous and bright like the sun in the sky, even Sima Jian, I feel that it is difficult to force the look.
Sima Die beckoned his brother to take a seat, and said with a smile: "My brother hasn't come to see me for a few days. How can I be free today?"
Sima Jian heard the banter in her tone, so he also made a funny face and said, "You still say that I don't know the two of us, who is busier than whom?"
Sima Die said: "No, no, no, that's different, although I'm busy, as long as my brother calls me, I can shirk anyone's banquet." But what about you, brother, you are so busy with the affairs of the business alliance every day that you can't see anyone. You say, who's wrong?"
Sima Jian smiled: "Yes, yes, it's not good for my brother." It seems that I still need to compensate my sister. I just don't know, what does Adie want now? Let's talk about it first, things like 'Golden Feather Yarn', there is no more, no more. ”
Sima Die sneered and said, "Brother, look at you like this, you are so stingy at a young age, won't you become a stingy and mean weird old man when you get old in the future?"
Sima Jian glared at her fiercely. Thinking of the appearance of his sister, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The brother and sister joked for a while, and Sima Jian was just right, and said, "Ah Die." Ensuring the safety of businessmen and establishing a business alliance are all my brother's lifelong wishes. Everything is finally on track now, so I thought I'd take a trip back to the valley now. By the way, tell your father and mother about your marriage. ”
Sima Die was stunned. Then his face was excited and ecstatic: "Brother, seriously?"
Sima Jian looked at her with a smile and pity.
Sima Die rejoiced for a moment and slowly calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that my current identity was limited, where could I easily leave Shifang City? It turned out that when I heard what I thought, I was afraid that it would be just an empty joy to be able to go back with my brother to meet my father. What's more, my brother didn't say anything like he wanted to bring himself home.
Thinking of this, the brilliance on Sima Die's face suddenly disappeared. Lonely said: "...... It's that I'm not filial. I can't inform my family about such a major event as getting married. I'm afraid that until now, my parents are still worried about my life's affairs. ”
Sima Jian comforted: "Ah Die, don't blame yourself too much. There are some things that are forced to deal with this, and we can't do anything about it. After all, with the power of his brother-in-law, out of this Shifang City, I don't know how many enemies are secretly peeping. If you send someone back in a hurry, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to your loved ones. I don't think my father and mother will blame you. ”
has been in Shifang City for a long time, and Sima Die is no longer the wild girl who was a fledgling and didn't know the height of the sky. She naturally understands how precious the tranquility and peace of the village she grew up in is in this chaotic world. And being able to grow up peacefully under the knees of his parents is the luck that many orphans dream of.
"Brother, let's go and pick out some gifts for my parents. Sima Die restrained his mood, cheered up, and suggested.
"At this moment?"
"Nature is at this moment. Sima Dieyan smiled and got up lightly, like a carefree little girl, pulling her eldest brother's arm and dragging it out. Sima Jian hurriedly shouted: "Slow down, slow down, oops, pity my old bone ......"
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Both of them knew that Sima Jian wanted to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives, and where could he use his brothers and sisters to pick out the gifts he brought with him, they would naturally be ready in a few minutes in the business alliance. Food, clothing, and shelter are only more elaborate and comprehensive than he could have imagined. However, if he didn't choose it himself, what else could Sima Die do? Sima Jian also thought of this, so he simply followed the girl today. Some, it's just a little distraction from her homesickness.
There have never been any decent shops in Shifang City. That is, after Sima Jian set out to establish the Business Alliance, there were more of them. However, the two of them can't go to their own business alliance to consume. So, the brother and sister came in high spirits, but they only lingered among the stalls of the street vendors.
"Brother, my mother likes this chic hairpin the most, you see......"
"If you like it, buy it. ”
"Brother, look at that piece of material, isn't it ......?"
"Yes, you chose it, and my mother will like it. ”
“……”
Sima Die put down the things in his hand with joy. If she had just come out of the mountains two years ago and had not yet seen the world, she would naturally feel that everything was new. But after marrying Qi Yi, she must be refined in her food and fine in her clothes, and her vision has long been different, how can she really look at these poorly made things.
Sima Jian pressed his hand on her shoulder and comforted her softly: "The courtesy is light and affectionate. Sister, I'm not perfunctory to you, I think that no matter what you choose, how rough it is, my father and mother will only be happy in their hearts. ”
“……”
Sima Die stopped silently. Stunned for a long time, he suddenly turned his head, grabbed Sima Jian's arm, and said urgently: "Brother, let's take my father and mother over!"
As soon as these words came out, Sima Die's heart was like a big stone finally falling to the ground, and the whole person relaxed: "Yes, father, mother, and grandfather." We are now living a life of glory and wealth in Shifang City. There is no reason why we should not support them well and let them enjoy the rest of their lives. Brother, let's bring them in...... I, I miss them......"
Sima Jian smiled like that again, looking at his sister with pity. Probably feeling his helplessness, Sima Die said as he spoke, and his voice gradually dissipated. All that was left was sadness.
Sima Jian rubbed the top of his sister's head and said with a smile: "If you don't like these things, you can choose them directly in the Shang Alliance, and it's the same." As long as it is prepared by your own hands, it is a heart. ”
Sima Die reluctantly pulled her lips and smiled. As she turned her head, a big tear fell on her new embroidered shoes. She pretended to be casual and continued to pick and choose from the stalls. Sima Jian knew that she was just taking the opportunity to hide her emotions, so he just stood quietly on the side and did not disturb.
Suddenly.
"Huh. Brother, look, what is that?"
Sima Jian looked at it fixedly, and was suddenly dazzled by a messy hairpin ring ornament. I couldn't see what my sister was referring to for a while. But Sima Die immediately reached out and gently picked up a small silver object from it, which saved him from his work. Sima Jian glanced at his sister's snow-white little hand, and couldn't help but light up his eyes: "Bell." ”
"Uh-huh!" Sima Die dragged a silver bell carved into the shape of a small bud waiting to be released in his hand, and a surprised smile appeared on his face, as if the sadness just now was just his illusion, and said happily: "Brother, when you ask them to prepare things, don't forget that there is also a gift from Ah Ling!"
Sima Jian smiled slightly.
"I won't forget. And this bell ......"
"Naturally, too!" Sima Die smiled sweetly, his eyebrows crooked. He shoved the bell into his brother's hand. "My brother said that the gifts I personally selected are different!"
