Chapter 182: The blind date is coming
Sima Yi leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, and his body swayed back and forth as the carriage advanced.
Sima Shi and Sima Zhao sat opposite each other and looked at Sima Yi quietly. Sima Shi's face was calm, but Sima Zhao was a little uneasy, and he wanted to open his mouth several times, but swallowed it back.
I don't know how long it took, Sima Yi's eyes opened a slit, looked at the two sons opposite, and finally fell on Sima Zhao's face.
"What do you want to say?"
Sima Zhao arched his hand. "Ah Weng, Situ is seriously ill and may die at any time. At this moment, Ah Weng didn't go to Situ's mansion first, while Situ was still alive, and set up a family affair, why did he condescend and send Ah Guo to a blind date? Although Cao Miao is a clan, he is a madman, and even if he inherits the prince in the future, he will be just an idler. ”
Sima Yi laughed twice. "Zishang, do you think that if you go to Situ's Mansion now, Wang Situ will be able to loosen his mouth and should go down to this family business?"
Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Sima Shi. Sima Shi twisted his neck. I was dropped by Cao Miao last time, and although I got better, my neck has been uncomfortable, and after a long time, I was a little sore, and even my eyes hurt a little.
"Zishang, the reason why Wang Situ was optimistic about my family before was because Ah Weng was a hussar general, holding military power and being valued by the family. Now that Ah Weng has lost his military power, what advantage do we have over other families? On family background, talent, and appearance, are you better than Xun Fei or Chen Tai? At this time, at that time, now go to Situ Mansion to propose marriage, but it is just a humiliation. ”
Sima Zhao let out a sigh of relief and lowered his head. It's not that he regrets not being able to marry Wang Lang's granddaughter, but that he's worried about the future of the family. Having lost his military power, Hanoi Sima immediately descended one level. If it was said that it could be compared with the Yingchuan Zhong family, the Chen family, and the Xun family in the past, now it is beyond reach.
It was not only his marriage that was ruined, but Yingchuan Xun also clearly stated that he would no longer consider marrying with Sima. Of course, the reason is not that Sima Yi lost his military power, but that Sima Yi married a daughter and had a backer.
The family is so realistic, so hypocritical.
Before Sima Yi lost his military power, Xun Fei knew that Sima proposed to Cao Miao, and he also expressed his dissatisfaction in private, but he did not explicitly express his intention to give up.
"Ziyuan, what do you think of Cao Miao's martial arts?" Sima Yi turned to Sima Shi and suddenly asked a question.
Sima Shi was stunned for a moment and thought for a while. "I can't tell, except for the last sneak attack by him, I haven't officially fought him."
"It's better not to try." Sima Yi said: "I received news that his martial arts are unfathomable, and you are not his opponent at all. ”
Sima Shi was surprised and glanced at Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao was even more shocked. can make Sima Yi say unfathomable words, this Cao Miao's martial arts are by no means ordinarily good.
"Aweng, is the news accurate?"
"It should be correct." Sima Yi shifted his body and looked out the window. "It's no longer our grudge with Cao Miao, there are more powerful people to deal with him. A blind date is a blind date, and it's hard to say whether you can get married or not. Sima Yi suddenly laughed: "I'm just urging them." Then he closed his eyes again.
Sima Shi let out an "oh" and didn't say anything more. Sima Zhao was still puzzled and wanted to ask for an understanding, but when he saw Sima Yi and Sima Shi's clear expressions, he didn't dare to speak.
The atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat oppressive.
After some time, the carriage slowly stopped, and a knight rushed over and knocked on the wall. Sima Yi didn't move, Sima Shi leaned over and asked through the car window, "What's the matter?" ”
"Young master, it's here." The knight stretched out his finger.
Sima Shi turned around and followed the knight's finger to look forward, only to see a large stone standing on the side of the road, engraved with four dignified characters: Buzhou Villa. He frowned, and his neck hurt again. As a free rider, he naturally knew about the inscription of the Son of Heaven for Cao Miao's manor, but he didn't expect that so soon, Cao Miao had already engraved the inscription of the Son of Heaven.
"Then ...... Get out of the car. Sima Shi said. The Son of Heaven is here, and no one dares to go directly in the carriage, at least get off the carriage and take two steps to show respect. As soon as he thought of this, Sima Shi's resentment towards Cao Miao increased a little.
This is still at the foot of the mountain, and you have not entered the valley, and you have erected the monument here, has the Son of Heaven given you the whole mountain?
Sima Yi also saw the stone tablet, and without saying a word, got up and got into the car. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly got out of the car and rushed to Zhang Chunhua's car. Everyone got out of the car together, slowly walked past the newly erected stone monument, and looked at the imperial pen of the Son of Heaven on it, with a somewhat strange expression.
"Qingtao, isn't this Zhou Villa so big?" Xiahou Yan said in a low voice: "The entire Golden Valley Mountain? ”
Green peach is also confused. She has been accompanying Xiahou Hui in Princess Deyang's Mansion during this time, and she doesn't know anything about this villa. She was puzzled, a group of people walked over from the mountain road, the first one was the new Shaofu Zuo Cheng Xiahou Xu, followed by Hong Xing and the slave maid carrying the food box.
Xiahou Xu stepped forward and greeted Sima Yi and the others with a smile on his face, but Hongxing came to Qingtao and said a few words in his ear. Qingtao nodded, turned to Princess Deyang and said, "Princess, the townsman ordered me to lead you into the valley, please come with me." ”
Princess Deyang was very unhappy. She condescended to be arrogant, and rushed here to see Cao Miao in person, but Cao Miao didn't even show her face, and only sent a maid to greet her, which was really excessive.
"Where's the townsman?"
The red apricot stepped forward and bent over to salute. "In the past few days, in order to prepare for the exam, the townsman has been overthinking and has fallen ill. He was very sorry that he could not come to greet the princess in person, and wanted to invite the princess to stay in the village for a few days so that she could be with her. The expansion of the villa was imminent, and he had a lot to ask the princess for. ”
Hearing that Cao Miao was sick, Princess Deyang's heart was half angry, but she felt a little pity. She glanced at Xiahou Hui, who was standing with Zhang Chunhua and Sima Guo in the distance, and snorted, feeling that this was all Xiahou Hui's responsibility. If she hadn't forced Cao Miao to marry Sima Guo, how could there be so many things.
Xiahou Hui felt Princess Deyang's gaze, turned his head to take a look, whispered a few words to Zhang Chunhua and Sima Guo, and walked over.
Hongxing told Cao Miao about her illness again. Hearing that Cao Miao was tired because of the question, Xiahou Hui did not sympathize, and even gloated a little. In her opinion, this is all Cao Miao's own fault. Blind date is blind date, if you have to come up with any exam questions, you have to pull her and Xiahou Yan to take the exam together.
You've only read a few articles, and you're still qualified to take me? It's no wonder if you're not tired.
She was proud in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Princess Deyang. She could see that Princess Deyang was in a bad mood.
"Where is the townsman now, and when will we see him?"
"The villa is being renovated, the road is not easy to walk, and the cars and horses can't get in, so I can only ask you to walk."
"On foot?" Xiahou Hui frowned. "How far?"
"It's about five miles away." Hongxing beckoned and called a team of slaves carrying food boxes. "The townsman knows that you have worked hard from afar, and I am afraid that your physical strength is insufficient, so I specially ordered someone to prepare some food, and please go into the mountain after eating, so as not to lack physical strength."
