Chapter 188: Xiaolou Autumn Wind
Seeing Xiahou Hui, who had always been confident and calm, panicked like this, Cao Miao almost laughed out loud.
Do you also have today?
It can be seen that people have limitations. No matter how smart a person is, once he encounters something he is not familiar with, he may panic.
This matter is mysterious, broken, and worthless.
Unless after long-term training, any person, after most of the hours of exercise, will be physically exhausted and the brain will lack oxygen. At this time, it is impossible to deal with complex problems, and usually simple problems may be confused at this time.
Although Xiahou Hui and Sima Guo are both from Jiangmen, their innate qualities are not bad, but they are only compared with weak women, and they are far from being strong. The five-mile mountain road is still a big challenge for them. When your heart is racing, you are out of breath, and your legs are weak, sitting down to do arithmetic problems, it is normal to not be able to do it, but it is not normal to do it.
Not only Xiahou Hui and Sima Guo, but also one of the young women in the same company is counted as one, if they are also allowed to participate in the assessment, the results will be as miserable.
As for Xiahou Yan, do you think a month of physical training was given for nothing?
Cao Miao repeatedly confirmed that he walked twice on this mountain road, and finally decided to place the boulder inscribed by the Son of Heaven in a suitable position in the mountain pass, just to ensure that when Xiahou Hui and Sima Guo arrived at the villa, their physical strength was enough to affect the blood supply to the brain, but they were not so tired that they couldn't even lift the pen and had to rest for a while.
When they were rested, those questions couldn't stop them at all.
As for Xiahou Hui's performance being worse than Sima Guo, it was somewhat unexpected by Cao Miao, but it was understandable. Xiahou Hui was originally inferior to Sima Guo, and with other distractions, it was difficult to concentrate on the question.
Cao Miao didn't insist on this result - the exam was originally a formality, and it couldn't affect the final result of the blind date - he just needed Xiahou Hui to be inferior to Xiahou Yan. Only in this way can he make Xiahou Hui difficult to argue and his self-confidence collapse.
Now it seems that the effect is very good, and Xiahou Hui has been messed up.
"And what are you going to do?" Cao Miao said angrily, and turned her head at the same time, lest her expression management fail and be seen by Xiahou Hui as a flaw. "Hurry up and go out of the village, lest Master Sima become suspicious again later, thinking that there is something unclear between you and me."
Xiahou Hui was stunned. "I ...... And what can you be unclear about? ”
"How do I know about the relationship between your husband and wife?" Cao Miao raised his hand. "I'm sleepy and need to rest. If there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow. As he spoke, he walked into the room and slammed the door shut.
Xiahou Hui stood outside the door, looking at the closed door, his heart was numb. Sima Yi started from the overall situation and didn't care about Sima Guo's happiness, but she couldn't care less. The reason why she took the initiative to come to Cao Miao was to explain to Cao Miao that Sima Guo was not so stupid, and she was capable of taking on the responsibility of a housewife and presiding over household chores for Cao Miao.
But Cao Miao didn't give her a chance to explain at all, but instead threw out a remark that shocked her: Sima Shi suspected that she and Cao Miao were not clear.
If it had been before, she would have scoffed at it and ignored it. But now, the trust between her and Sima Shi is on the verge of crumbling, and any suspicion is possible. She came to visit Cao Miao alone at this moment, didn't she give someone a handle and give Sima Shi a reason to be suspicious?
She said that the reason why she didn't go out of the villa with Zhang Chunhua and Sima Guo, and came to Cao Miao alone, was because she didn't want others to know that she explained to Sima Guo, can Sima Shi believe it?
Today's exam hasn't been explained yet.
Just when Xiahou Hui was in a dilemma, Cao Miao asked through the door: "You said that Sima Guo only answered five questions correctly, is it true or false?" "Vertex
Xiahou Hui smiled bitterly: "I can't say whether it's true or false, but this is definitely not her true ability." ”
"That's fake. Since she'd rather play dumb than marry me, what would she think if you did that? ”
Xiahou Hui wanted to cry without tears, and sighed. "I just want to have a clear conscience, and I really don't care too much. Yunliang, there is a sentence I want to say to you, I hope you can think about it calmly. ”
There was silence in the room.
Xiahou Hui waited for a moment, and said softly: "Yunliang, I know that you have the heart to inherit the will of Emperor Wu, restrain the family and the strong, and concentrate manpower and material resources to complete the great cause of unifying the world." But have you ever wondered why Emperor Wu suffered from frequent civil strife in his later years, and even lost a great opportunity to win Yizhou in one fell swoop? ”
The room was still silent, and I didn't know if Cao Miao was asleep. Xiahou Hui had no way to judge, and she didn't want others to hear her words, so she had to suppress her voice, hoping that Cao Miao could hear and listen.
"There is no other reason, most of the talents who can govern the country are in the family. It is true that the poor family can produce talents, but the number is far less than that of the family. This dilemma can not be solved by a few orders to seek merit, and the governance of the world is inseparable from the support of the family. ”
"You can suppress the Sima clan, but you can't suppress the entire family. Compared to the Sima family, the Ruying family is the real opponent. You caught the cangji, is the cangji dead? You caught Jong-tae, is Jong-tae dead? Wang Ji is dead, and there is no one to protect Cangji anymore, so he has no choice but to call you a subordinate. Zhong Tai is waiting for amnesty in Tingwei Prison, as long as he does not die, he will be blessed by misfortune in the future and return to his official career. ”
"Why didn't Your Majesty check? Because he knows that there is no point in finding out the results, it is better not to check ......"
The door squeaked open, revealing half of Cao Miao's face with a puzzled look. "Jong Tae is waiting for amnesty?"
Xiahou Hui was taken aback, subconsciously took a half step back, reached out and patted his chest, soothing his beating heart. "Ah...... Yes. ”
"There will be an amnesty in the near future?"
"There is no amnesty, it depends on whether there is a need. If amnesty is needed, isn't the reason just to find it? Even if it doesn't exist for the time being, let Zhong Tae stay in prison for an extra year, and he can always wait for amnesty. His crime is only to believe rumors, not rebellion, and the crime is not to death. ”
Cao Miao's eyes softened a little, and there was a little more hesitation. After a moment, he looked up again, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You know that in the southeast of Luoyang City, about a hundred miles or so, there is a manor. The owner of the manor is an old man of seventy or eighty years old, who do you think it will be if he can make the captain bow down? ”
Xiahou Hui's face changed slightly. "What does this person have to do with you?"
Cao Miao said sharply: "You don't have to ask so much, just tell me, who is he?" ”
Xiahou Hui lowered his head and avoided Cao Miao's fierce eyes. "That area belongs to Yangcheng Mountain, with good feng shui and good scenery, and there are many people who build manors. At the age of seventy-eight, he can make the captain bow his head, he may be a high-ranking official of Zhishi, or he may be a hidden high-ranking person. You don't make it clear, how can I give you the answer. ”
"Then let Sima Shi ask." Cao Miao said coldly: "If the Taiwei wants to form an alliance with me, show a little sincerity and don't hide it." He thought that if he didn't say it, others would believe him? After speaking, he slammed the door shut, and there was a "bang".
Xiahou Hui still has a stomach to say, and he is all blocked by this sound, not to mention how depressed he is. But when she thought of facing Sima Shi, she didn't feel good in her heart, and this depression was not worth mentioning.
How can this be explained?
A gust of autumn wind blew, and Xiahou Hui was cold all over his body, and his bowels were full of sorrow.
