Chapter 185: The Little Fox and the Old Fox

Princess Deyang had a similar opinion.

With Xiahou Hui's cleverness, even if he can't answer all such questions, he won't only answer four questions correctly.

What's even more suspicious is that almost half of Xiahou Hui's questions have not been answered. In contrast, Sima Guo answered at least eight questions, but three of them were incorrect. If anyone else sees such a result, they will think that Xiahou Hui is releasing water.

Princess Deyang didn't know how to explain, so she had to hurriedly go downstairs and ordered someone to call Xiahou Hui in.

Xiahou Hui came soon, and his face was also very ugly. This result was not what she expected. The last five questions are empty, it is true that she didn't do it, but it's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's that she doesn't have time to do it. She spent too much time doing the first five questions, and the fifth question was just halfway through when the time came.

"Are these questions so difficult?" Princess Deyang complained: "I've read the question, even I can do it, can I still be difficult to stop you?" Look at Ah Yan, she did nine questions correctly, is there such a big gap between you and her? ”

Xiahou Hui was speechless. She was also devastated, especially thinking of Cao Miao's assertion before. She never thought that she would be inferior to Xiahou Yan, and the gap would be so big. At this moment, her mind was empty.

Seeing that Xiahou Hui lowered his head and did not speak, Princess Deyang hated that iron could not become steel. Xiahou Hui is a smart man, but today he did a stupid thing. She used this means to facilitate the marriage between Cao Miao and Sima Guo, and Cao Miao would hate her for the rest of her life. Even with her, he couldn't explain to Cao Miao.

Although the daughter who married out of the house splashed the water out of the door, Xiahou Hui did it too much.

"You, you." Princess Deyang stretched out her finger and poked Xiahou Hui's forehead fiercely. "Let me say what are you good about?"

Xiahou Hui finally couldn't hold back and shed tears of grievance.

Footsteps sounded, Cao Miao walked out of it, glanced at Xiahou Hui coldly, walked to Princess Deyang, and bowed down. "Princess, I ordered someone to invite the Taiwei family to the village to discuss the marriage. There is no hostess in the villa, can you ask the princess to receive the female dependents? ”

Princess Deyang felt guilty in her heart, where was the reason to excuse herself. Zhang Chunhua is her mother-in-law, and there is nothing wrong with her receiving her. Anyway, she doesn't want to do specific things, and she has her own green peach, red apricot and others to deal with.

With the consent of Princess Deyang, Cao Miao said goodbye, turned around and asked Xiahou Xu to go to the mountain pass to invite Sima Yi's family into the villa. Sima Guo passed the assessment very lucky, and the blind date could enter the next stage, but it was inconvenient to meet Cao Miao for the time being, so Princess Deyang asked Xiahou Hui to go out to accompany her, and when Mrs. Sima Yi came, she would go on a blind date.

From beginning to end, Cao Miao didn't say a word to Xiahou Hui. With a gloomy face, he sat in the hall and said nothing.

Xiahou Hui didn't have the face to say anything to Cao Miao, so with the permission of Princess Deyang, he shed a few tears and hurried out.

Princess Deyang wanted to open her mouth several times to ease the atmosphere, but when she saw Cao Miao's face, she couldn't speak, so she could only sigh. This situation was completely unexpected, so she was caught off guard, and she didn't know how to persuade if she wanted to.

The atmosphere in the hall was awkward, and the atmosphere in the vestibule was not much better.

Xiahou Hui was obviously aggrieved, but he still had to comfort Sima Guo with a smile. Sima Guo luckily passed the assessment, but he was still not happy. She looked at the exam paper repeatedly, and couldn't figure out how she could have been this grade. If she were asked to redo it now, she might be able to do it in half the time, and she would be sure to get every question right.

What's going on today, falling into evil?

Although Xiahou Yan answered well, he didn't dare to show it on his face. She could see that Xiahou Hui was in a very bad mood, and it was boring to show off her achievements at this time. She wanted to be calm, but she was too young to be quiet, and her expression looked even more awkward.

Time slowed down in an indescribable embarrassment, and the shadows on the ground moved for a long time.

Until Sima Yi walked slowly into the courtyard.

Sima Yiguan worshiped the Taiwei and sealed the Marquis of Wuyang. During the Han Dynasty, Taiwei was the head of the three princes, and his position was higher than that of the princes. Now the Taiwei has become a vacant position, with dignity and no power, and cannot be compared with the princes and kings. In terms of title, the Marquis of Wuyang is a county marquis, and he has more food than Cao Miao's Gaoyang Township Prince, but his dignity is not as good as that of the Township Prince.

Therefore, although Sima Yi is old, he can only take the initiative to meet Cao Miao. Strictly speaking, this marriage is also Sima Yi's high climbing.

Cao Miaoan sat in the hall, calmly accepted the visit of Sima Yi's family, and then asked Princess Deyang to receive Zhang Chunhua, Sima Guo and the school-age women of the Sima family who accompanied him, and went to the side courtyard to speak, and he himself received Sima Yi's father and son.

"Captain, did you expect this result?" Cao Miao said slowly, not hiding the anger on her face at all.

When Sima Yi received the notice, he began to think about how to respond. He bowed slightly. "Unexpected, reasonable."

"Oh? How unexpected, and how reasonable? ”

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect the little girl to refuse marriage in this way. Alas, it was all the old ministers' lax discipline, the little girls were arrogant, confused by rumors, and did not know the nobility of the townspeople, so they resorted to such a small method that was not elegant. Let the townsman see it smile. ”

Cao Miao looked at Sima Yi deliberately. This old fox seems to blame Sima Guo for not knowing the general situation, but in fact, there is something in the words, which is to say that I don't know the inspection point, and the gossip that makes the city full of gossip, so that Sima Guo refuses to marry.

For this guy whose old face is as thick as the city wall, he can only bow down.

"As for the reasonable, it's actually simple. The townsman knew it in his heart, and the old minister also knew in his heart that this marriage was not a matter between the townsman and the little girl, but a self-preservation strategy between Yongqiu Mansion and the old minister, which was related to the stability of the court situation. Whether it succeeds or not, it is not you and me, but Your Majesty. Although the little girl is confused, the son-in-law is from a high family, and she is knowledgeable and responds appropriately, so as not to make everyone ugly. ”

Although he had been prepared, Cao Miao was still stunned by Sima Yi's old spicy, and even admired him a little. In the face of such an unfavorable situation, he can still make such a perfect explanation, and he really deserves to be the first conspirator of the Three Kingdoms.

To be honest, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao are too bad compared to him. If it weren't for him pretending to be sick for ten years, he deceived Cao Shuang and succeeded in one fell swoop. If you stay up for a few more years, you will directly kill him, and Sima Shi and Sima Zhao may not have a chance.

However, this old fox is only fifty this year, and his spirit is very good, and he will not die for a while. Who you want to live on to decide the winner is obviously not a reasonable choice.

Cao Miao's face was loveless. "In that case, let us leave the decision to Your Majesty. This blind date...... There's no need for it, right? Taiwei and the two sons are the same talent, and the love must not be far behind. ”

Sima Yi stroked his beard and laughed. "Although the townsman is young, he is an understanding person. It is rumored that the townsman is lustful and despises morality, which is really harmful. Having a son like this is a blessing for King Yongqiu. Although I don't have such a blessing, it is also a blessing in life to have a villager as a son-in-law. ”

He turned to Sima Shi and said, "Ziyuan, you have repeatedly clashed with the townsman before, and now that you are an in-law, you don't need to mention those festivals. In the future, I should get closer to the townspeople, ask for advice more, and serve His Majesty. ”

Sima Shi stood up and bowed his hand. "The kid has no eyes, and he has offended a lot, so please forgive the townspeople."

Cao Miao grinned. "Does your neck still hurt?"
