Chapter 63: Teenagers Growing Up Alone

On the New Year of the eighth year of Taining, after being assassinated, the emperor Sima Shao finally died after a long injury, even if Ge Hong's life-saving elixir and Nanyue's wife Wei Huacun were present, his life could not be saved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Human fate is predestined, how cruel.

In his career as emperor, he quelled the Wangdun Rebellion, promulgated various measures to govern the country, and made great efforts to weaken the power of the world, and committed to the convergence of the north and the south.

Emperor Sima Shao of the Jin Ming Dynasty died, and the little prince Sima Yan naturally became the new emperor.

Sima Yan was accompanied by Yu Liang, Queen Yu, and Sima Yi, a side branch of the Sima family's royal family, and Sima Zong's brothers, but when the little emperor Sima Yan, who wore a white filial piety hat and layers of heavy filial piety robes, stood alone in the snow, he found that there was actually no one around him.

The New Year's funeral of the emperor, coupled with Sima Shao's request in the edict to order everything to be simple and fast, so this funeral was held in a hurry and simply, and the little emperor Sima Yan, who was only nine years old, was keenly aware that in this world, except for him, the emperor, everyone was very busy.

Empress Yu, Yu Liang brother and sister, Sima Yi and Sima Zong brothers, these two factions that are blood relatives to Sima Yan, are fighting for power openly and secretly.

This is the situation laid down by Sima Shao with all his strength before his death, and the political situation laid out for his son Sima Yan.

It is absolutely impossible for one family to be dominant, and it is not possible to follow in the footsteps of "the king and the horse, sharing the world".

In the edict, before the little emperor Sima Yan and the crown, the highest decision-maker in the political affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Sima Yi, who was the person with the highest rank in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was no longer the leader of the scholar clan, the Wang Dao of the Langya Wang family.

Sima Yan, dressed in filial piety, walked aimlessly in the snow, the huge imperial city, even when he sat on that cold throne, the people the ministers looked at would not be him, he was just a symbol of the national ancestry, a puppet who was wantonly manipulated.

No one would listen to him, not even his mother and uncle, even Sima Yi and Sima Zong, who were great-grandparents.

"Ahri, when will you be back?"

Sima Yan exhaled white air in the cold wind, thinking of the missing Xie An, if it were you, what would you do? Do you want to bear with it? You often complain that time flies too slowly, and you always say that there are many inconveniences as a child, but now I realize that there are really many inconveniences, endure until the age of sixteen? Or twenty years old?

What if I die before I reach the crown? Thinking of this, Sima Yan felt a chill on his back, and then turned his head and saw his younger brother Sima Yue, who was also wearing a red filial piety coat in the snow in the distance, stumbling over with a big coat in his arms.

"Brother!" Sima Yue was a year younger than him, they were born to the same mother, and if he died, then the younger brother would succeed him.

Sima Yue gasped and draped the big coat on him, and stammered, "Ah, brother, be careful of catching a cold." ”

The younger brother's face was still stained with snow, but his cheeks and hands were red from the cold, it seemed that he had been looking for him for a long time, Sima Yan's heart was sour, his father died, his mother was only in her early thirties, the eldest sister was twelve, and the younger brother was only eight years old.

He is the eldest son, he wants to protect his family in place of his father, and he wants to protect this life so that the eldest sister and younger brother will not lose their freedom.

"Shall we go and copy the scriptures for my father? I miss him so much. Sima Yan grabbed his brother's shoulders, and Da Yu covered both of them inside, avoiding the wind and snow, Sima Yue has always been very well-behaved and introverted, and his crying red eyes were full of tears, but he bit his lip and held his brother's hand tightly.

……

……

"God forbid."

In Situ's mansion, Director Wang silently looked at the upper layer of snow falling on the edge of the window, and a small stove was boiling tea soup in front of the window, and the snow and heat were intertwined and swirling in the air.

Servant A was preparing food for him, and at this moment, outside the silent study, Servant B's voice suddenly begged for mercy, "Little master, don't be angry, you can't paint my face with ink if you are angry...... Okay, good, let you paint, but don't be angry......"

The voice was getting closer and closer, and Director Wang held his forehead, as if what he had been worried about for months had finally happened—Xizhi knew that Xie An had been kidnapped by Song Yi and sent to the East China Sea.

Wang Xizhi, who was like an ice cream dumpling, ran all the way from her small courtyard with a pen in his hand, thinking that he was still practicing calligraphy, and he had nowhere to get out of his stomach, so he directly vented his anger on the servant B.

Ah Yi has a word "stupid" written on the right cheek, and half of the word is written on his left cheek, which looks like it should be the word "egg".

To wear new clothes in the New Year, Wang Xizhi is surrounded by snow fox fur sent from the north, which makes the little girl with red cheeks and jade-like complexion lined with aura, especially the angry appearance, compared to the usual dull appearance, more Langya Wang should have a style and pride.

Wang thought intently, there are many boys in this young generation, and this only little girl is really the best, both in terms of appearance and talent, and her temperament is also cute......

"Lombard!" Wang Xizhi came wearing clogs, and the last step in front of Wang Dao was a little loud, as if he was really angry, but the big white goose that followed behind him looked strange when he walked clumsily.

"It's just right, eat mutton in one piece, and see how thin Ajia is cut." Director Wang was ready to be scribbled by this girl, but Wang Xizhi's expression was very serious.

Wang Xizhi shook his head, "Don't eat, I want to go out, Ah Yi refused to take me out, saying that the emperor is dead, no one on the street dares to expel the Nian Beast, and that if I go out, I will be eaten by the Nian Beast and evil ghosts, and he still treats me as a three-year-old child!"

The smile on Director Wang's face condensed slightly, "What are you going to go out for?" ”

Wang Xizhi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked directly into Wang Dao's gaze, "Go to Qingyun Tower, go to Tai Shiling, ask Xing, and ask Ahri's whereabouts." ”

Ask the stars for divination, ask about the way of heaven, ask about good luck, and ask for peace of mind.

……

Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Didn't you say that you don't like to ask the stars?" ”

Wang Xizhi still shook his head, "I don't like it, but I still want to ask." After Ah Yi was forced to confess by me, he said that Ahri was in Donghai County. But I still don't feel at ease, when Hu Zhi gave me a gift in the morning, he said that he dreamed that Ahri drowned in the sea, he was sad for a morning, and he didn't dare to ask you, so he had to complain to me. ”

"I now know that except for me, you all know that Ahri was taken away by the bad guys."

Director Wang took her hand, gently pulled out the pen she was holding almost broken, and comforted him warmly: "Adin wrote that he was doing well in Donghai County. ”

"But Ahri is Ahri's only friend!"

For the first time, Wang Xizhi's face showed a dazed expression, the sound of snow outside the house, the dark fragrance of plum blossoms, the dry pond of lotus lotus, the snow shadow of the bamboo forest, the lonely footprints on the stone road, everything in the mansion of the Langya Wang family was so beautiful and peaceful, as if the worries of this world were blocked.

She only needs to eat and sleep enough every day, practice calligraphy and metaphysics, and then she can take care of nothing, and she will live a very comfortable and free life because of this family.

But the world that had made her feel peaceful and beautiful suddenly became a cage, and for the first time she was so eager to get out of here.

"The only friend is in danger, even if I can't help him in the distance, but if I don't do anything, I can't practice calligraphy and metaphysics with my heart, the flowers on the table are sent by him, and the pickled plums and dried apricots he sends are hidden under the table, and the paperweight is the rabbit iron puppet he sent, and he also said that when we grow up to be able to ride horses, he will take me to see the peach blossoms, and will take me to climb the Purple Mountain to see the stars and tell me the story of Neverland...... Hu Zhi also said that he was arrested for me to pick flowers...... Although I lacked nothing, ten times better than what he used, ......"

As she spoke, her mind wandered, and she thought of a lot, and those little things were like droplets of water falling on the rock again and again, and the rock was not transferred, but the droplets of water could leave traces on the stone.

Director Wang smiled faintly and stroked her head, "Xizhi will have many friends in the future, as long as you are willing." ”

She shook her head for the third time, "It's different, there's only one Ahrier in this world." ”

Director Wang pondered for a moment, nodded at Ah Yi, and then said to her: "Xizhi has grown up, he can go if he wants, but let Ah Yi follow him, even when asking the stars." ”

Wang Xizhi went out on the New Year for the first time, and the first place he went to was the Xie family, but he still slipped in from the backyard as usual, her big white goose seemed to have some shadows on the Xie family's back kitchen, and she shrank in the ox cart and refused to get off, probably because she heard her companion say that there was an unlucky egg that was eaten by the Xie family five years ago.

Wang Huzhi made an appointment with Xie Wan to wait in the backyard, I heard that the Xie family has not had a good time in the past few months, even if he got the news that Xie An was fine, but Xie Shang never returned, saying that he was ordered to track down the killer who assassinated the emperor, and now he is stranded in Guangling, Jiangbei with Xie Zhenshi's family, Xie Zhenshi's husband was cited by the exile Shuai Xi Jian to join the army, and he will not return for the time being.

Xie Wan had eaten Wang Xizhi's goose and laughed at her, but he knew that the relationship between the third brother and Wang Xizhi was not ordinarily good, and he would see Wang Xizhi playing the third brother's hand board several times when he went to the study, and then said to the third brother in the teacher's tone: "This word has been rewritten a hundred times, Ahri, why are you always absent-minded, and you write worse than me." ”

The third brother was actually willing to accept this kind of torture, Xie Wan really never expected that the third brother would usually only beat others.

"Well, this is the pen commonly used by the third brother, if the third brother is really gone...... Do you still want his old clothes to summon spirits? The more Xie Wan spoke, the more sad he became, and his teary eyes made Wang Xizhi angry.

"It's a star! It's to ask divination and good fortune, to take people's personal things, or to be manly, you two crying bag! Wang Xizhi looked at Hu Zhi and Xie Wan who were dejected, took the pen and left, stepping on the snow step by step, the snow in the alley was very clean, just like the scene she and Xie An walked through that year, but now, she is the only one.

There were only her footprints in the snow.

Back then, I said that I looked like a tumbler when I walked in the snow, but now that I think about it, you are actually shorter than me, more like a tumbler. Wang Xizhi thought angrily, his eyes still staring at the sky blankly, and he sniffed.

"As you said, in fact, everything is fake, because the stars will follow the trajectory. But after the appearance of the Glowing Guard, the emperor died, and Lombard was also suppressed by the bad guys, although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I also want to know if you are safe! ”

"If ghosts and gods really exist, if they can bless you safely, then I will believe in them."

Snow fell from the high sky dome and covered the entire Jiankang City, and she stood in the secluded alley, looking up at the whole gloomy sky.

At this moment, the sound of the wind seemed to turn into the sound of the sea tide, cold and long.
