"Cousin, come with me, the chief steward is in this courtyard. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sima Fu's old house, Sima Fu led Sima Yi to a remote courtyard.
"Cousin, why do you have such a strange expression?"
Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu's strange expression, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Alas! Cousin, I'll tell you the truth! The Grand Steward is a madman. ”
This made Sima Yi stunned, madman? Why is it used to describe a person as crazy, is it really crazy?
Sima Fu was not surprised to see Sima Yi's surprise, because he had expected him to react like this.
"In fact, each generation of the chief manager was the most powerful person in the Sima Mansion before he took the throne, but I don't know why every generation of people who became the chief manager went crazy soon after."
"Oh! What do you mean by that? ”
Sima Yi was even more puzzled, why Sima Fu would say this.
"There is a legend in our Sima Fu that whoever becomes the chief steward will be cursed, so no one dares to approach this courtyard now."
Sima Yi scoffed, what kind of curse isn't this, he won't believe it.
"Cousin, according to what you said, the current chief manager is the most capable person in the previous generation of Sima Mansion, who is he?"
Sima Fu became a little sad when he heard the strangeness on his face.
"The current manager is my father."
"What! Your dad? ”
Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu in surprise, his father turned out to be the chief manager.
"Cousin, isn't it ...... to say that your father?"
He didn't finish his words, but Sima Fu knew what he wanted to say, so he continued his words and said:
"That's right, my dad is really crazy right now."
Sima Fu sighed, and a sense of sadness came to his face.
"Alas! Originally, my father was a local poor child, and my father was chosen when my mother threw hydrangeas to recruit relatives, and they lived in harmony with each other after they got married. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the room in the courtyard, and continued:
"It's a pity, I don't know how my father suddenly took over the position of chief manager when I was three years old, and my mother couldn't stop it, because she knew that "curse" but my father didn't listen to my mother's words and insisted on going his own way, and finally couldn't get rid of that curse, and since then my mother has been in tears all day long. ”
Sima Fu said sadly, Sima Yi was also touched when he heard it, and he opened his mouth to comfort.
"Cousin, you don't have to be sad, maybe it will get better?"
"Hehe, there will be no improvement, everyone who becomes the chief manager is like that in the end, even if it is not right, it still can't be recovered."
The folding fan in Sima Fu's hand stopped shaking, looking absent-minded.
"Cousin, go back first! I'm going back to visit my uncle now. ”
"Hmmm! I'm waiting for you outside, you go in! ”
Sima Fu waved at him, and Sima Yi slowly walked into the desolate courtyard, where the weeds were already half a person high, and even the stone-paved path began to grow weeds.
Squeak!
Sima Yi slowly pushed open the door and the scene inside made him a little surprised, because it was very clean, and a middle-aged man was sitting on a soft couch drinking tea.
"Come in! Are you here for me? ”
"I'm here to find the Grand Steward." , Sima Yi replied.
The middle-aged man smiled, took a sip of tea and said:
"I'm the Boss."
"But the chief manager is a madman."
Saying this, the middle-aged man showed a bitter expression.
"Maybe! Sometimes it's for their best to keep them out of the way. ”
Sima Yi had a fluent conversation with the middle-aged man opposite, and he was not surprised, because he already knew many things in the conversation just now.
"You're not crazy, why are you pretending to be crazy? Why don't you play crazy with me? ”
The middle-aged man put down the teacup in his hand and stood up and pointed to Sima Yi's waist.
"Because of it."
It was the purple-gold token hanging from Sima Yi's waist.
Sima Yi was curious, when did he find out, when he came in just now, he saw that he was not pretending to be crazy and stupid on the soft couch.
The middle-aged man seemed to see Sima Yi's doubts and invited Sima Yi to sit down.
"How could I not know about such a big movement in the west of the city just now."
Sima Yi was surprised, how could this middle-aged man know so quickly, the news should not have come yet!
"How do you know that this news won't come so quickly?"
"Because of it."
The middle-aged man pointed to the quaint wrench on his hand, and then suddenly got up and knelt down.
"The fifteenth generation of Hanoi Secret Position and the Grand Governor of Sima Mansion has seen the head of the family."
Sima Yi hurriedly helped the middle-aged man up.
"Uncle, this can't be helped."
"There is nothing to do, you are the patriarch of my Sima family."
In the end, he couldn't resist the stubbornness of the middle-aged man, and waited for him to salute before helping him up.
"Uncle, why are you like this?"
When they sat down again, Sima Yi opened his mouth and asked, he asked about the middle-aged man pretending to be crazy and stupid.
"Because it is a heavy responsibility, I have two major missions, not only me, but also the general manager of the previous generation, unless I find a successor to the next generation, I can come out with peace of mind."
"Come out?"
"That's right, you come with me."
The middle-aged man got up and waved at Sima Yi, and the two of them came to a bed, and the middle-aged man gently patted a bed sculpture at the head of the bed.
"Click!"
The wooden bed slowly moved to the side, and after a while, a passage leading to the ground appeared, and he was surprised that there was a cave here.
"Hehe, don't be surprised, this secret passage has existed hundreds of years ago, that is, in the early Han Dynasty, come with me!"
Sima Yi followed the middle-aged man and slowly walked down the passage, and the door of the secret passage above his head automatically closed again after a few steps.
The secret passage is not dark, because there is a light on the wall every other section, and the next section of the road is a flat road that extends in one direction.
"Don't be afraid, the head of the family, I'll take you to see the Zijin Guard ordered by the Zijin Token."
The middle-aged man smiled, patted Sima Yi lightly on the shoulder, and led him forward.
I don't know how long he walked, but he probably walked out of Hanoi again.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of him, wearing soft armor to block Sima Yi's way.
"Master, show them the token."
Sure enough, when Sima Yi raised the purple gold order in his hand, the two armors immediately knelt down, and their voices trembled a little when they spoke, this was not fear, this was excitement, because in the image of their fathers and ancestors, their leader never appeared.
Until today, I finally saw it, which also shows that they Zijinwei was really born.
"I've seen the chief."
Sima Yi picked up the two of them and said kindly, quite polite and virtuous.
"Get up, don't be polite, you've worked hard."
……
The two Zijinwei are the gatekeepers, and the middle-aged man is just the leader, which means that if the real leader of Zijinwei comes, he can rest.
Drilling out of the ground again, the setting sun was already hanging in the west before I knew it, reflecting the clouds crimson.
Sima Yi was shocked by the scene in front of him, and there was an endless wooden house in front of him.
