After the two finished grinding the wheat, under the urging of the old man, the three of them resigned one after another and walked towards Sima Zhao's house. Yi Hun and some guards led the horses to follow. Not long after, a luxurious mansion appeared in front of me, and three big characters were written on the plaque: Sima Mansion. Jia Fu stood in front of the mansion and looked at Sima Zhao suspiciously: "This is what you Sima Zhao said, a simple hut?" Are you sure this is your home? “。

"Sima Zhao, this is your fault, your family is so magnificent. How could you have told us nonsense before? Are you afraid that I and Ah Fu will learn that your family is rich, and your Sima family will not be able to eat poor? “。 Liu Sheng looked at the mansion in front of him, remembering that Sima Zhao had told them about the situation at home before, and he was stunned for a while. This is what he said, a miserable house. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but joke.

Sima Zhao heard that the two of them were obviously to blame, but in fact they were joking, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "When I left home the year before last, it was clear that I was a family with four walls. Although I am a lifter, I have not stepped into officialdom after all. Just hoping that the gifts of the imperial court are not easy to continue to study hard. At that time, I had to rely on the help of my family to bury my head in the books. But my family not only has to support me in my studies, but also supports my two younger brothers. Among them, the hardships can be described in a few words. As for why my house is so magnificent, I don't understand it either."

When Jia Fu heard Sima Zhao's explanation, he suddenly laughed and pointed to the mansion in front of him: "Isn't this your home?" Let's see if we're on the wrong side, and it's not good if we get into a joke."

"Yes, I don't have any letters at home telling me about the move. This is where I grew up, and I can't be mistaken." Sima Zhao looked at the mansion in front of him, and his tone was very firm. This is definitely his home.

At this moment, a group of people walked in the distance, all dressed as scribes, and one of them asked the man in the front: "Brother Zijing, this Sima Village is really outstanding, just now we went to the west to watch the harvest scene, it is really peaceful and desirable."

"It's not just desirable, if I can enjoy my old age in this village when I'm old, that's one of the great joys of life."

"If you want me to say that this Sima Village, in addition to the beautiful scenery and peace. But there is also that, known as an outstanding person, which makes people envious."

"Yes, yes, Sima Village is an outstanding person. In my Jiangnan, there are only a handful. Otherwise, how can you get out, a great talent like Brother Zijing."

"Brother Zijing three years ago, he was admitted to show his talent and fame in one fell swoop, which made me and other good students envious."

"Sima Village produced a prodigy and a talent, and it was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while. Now in the whole South, who does not know?"

"I heard Brother Ling, Lord Sima Zhao. In the middle of the year, he took the imperial examination at the beginning of last year, and won the fame of Jinshi in one fell swoop. Now he is in charge of the household as a waiter, which makes me envious."

"The talent of my brother is a hundred times that of my son. This is a firefly and a bright moon, how dare you compare it to it." Hearing the people around me, full of flattery. Sima Zijing felt a trace of tiredness in his heart. Since the new emperor ascended the throne last year, his brother has a high seat, and he has been a squire of the household. There will always be a group of people around here, under the guise of communication. All kinds of temptations and flattery make people so upset. It's a pity that they are all classmates and want to refuse. It's just too hard, too hard.

Jia Fu and the three of them watched the group of people walk slowly, and when they heard these conversations, they were slightly stunned. Sima Zhao frowned, looked at Sima Zijing in the crowd, and couldn't help asking: "Second brother, are you taking this group of people with you?" What are you going to do".

"Brother...... Brother, when did you come back, why didn't you write to us in advance, so that the family could prepare and go to meet you." Hearing the familiar voice, Sima Zijing couldn't help but look over, and was overjoyed to see that it was Sima Zhao.

The scholars around Sima Zijing all looked at each other when they heard the word brother. Immediately afterwards, greetings, politeness, and flattery followed.

"The students have admired the demeanor of Master Sima for a long time, and it is indeed worthy of the name when I see it today."

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Sima is talented, if you have leisure, please give me advice."

"Master Sima has added glory to my Quanzhou Mansion, and the students will take the adults as an example and take the examination as soon as possible.

"Student ............".

Listening to these flattering words, Sima Zhao nodded with a smile, but there was a burst of irritability in his heart: "How can this official travel be tiring and return home, I hope you will be more considerate."

"Yes, yes, I will wait until there is a lot of disturbance today, so I will retire first. If there is anything wrong, please bear with me."

"It's not easy for adults to go home once, how can we disturb adults and enjoy this rare family affection. Master Sima, Brother Zijing, the students will say goodbye."

"Brother Tai's words are what we think in our hearts. Master Sima, students and others will not ...... here." When a group of people saw Sima Zhao say this, they knew what he meant, and hurriedly said goodbye. In groups of three or five, they turned and left.

When this group of people dispersed, Sima Zijing couldn't help it, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and sighed at Sima Zhao: "Brother still has a way, and he can say a word to dismiss them."

"What we heard just now is clearly a flattery to you. But listening to what you say, it doesn't seem to be enjoyment, but suffering." Jia Fu looked at Sima Zijing and saw that he looked relieved. Thinking of Fang Cai's scene, he couldn't help but ask.

When Sima Zhao and Liu Sheng heard about this question, they also followed Jia Fu's gaze. Sima Zijing saw the gaze of the three of them, sighed for a while, and directly complained: "Brother, don't you know, since last year, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, you were named the right attendant of the household, and our family has become lively." Since then, I have been surrounded by this group of classmates every day, and all kinds of flattery are endless, and I am very annoyed to listen to them. I don't have time to read those books. If this continues, when will I be able to get into the lifter's exam?"

"Why bother, if you really think so, it's a big deal to get rid of them." Jia Fu looked at Sima Zijing indifferently, not understanding this question, what was the difficulty. It's still worth it, he complained.

When Liu Sheng heard Jia Fu's words, he felt that although he was not close to people, he was also reasonable: "You can try it, Ah Fu's method."

"I can't do it, I can't do it, they are all my classmates, if I really do this, I'm afraid that those gossips can drown people." Sima Zijing heard Liu Sheng and Jia Fu's words, and hurriedly waved his hand. Just kidding, such a thing, just think about it. If you really do it, I'm afraid it's too unkind.

When Sima Zhao saw the second brother waving his hand, he thought about what had just happened in his heart. His brows furrowed, showing a smiling face, and he introduced Liu Sheng and Jia Fu: "Second brother, let me introduce you to you, these two are Liu Sheng and Jia Fu." They are my best friends, and you can show them as a brother."

"Zijing has seen two brothers." When Sima Zijing heard his brother's introduction, he didn't dare to slack off. Hurriedly and respectfully, he saluted the two of them.

Liu Sheng smiled when he saw this, and looked at Sima Zijing: "I'll make a loud noise and call you Zijing." We are close friends with Sima Zhao, so you don't have to be so formal."

"Zijing, I heard Sima Zhao say that your family is simple. But now it seems that I am afraid that what he said is not true, why is that? “。 Jia Fu remembered Fang Cai's question, looked at Sima Zijing and asked.

Hearing Jia Fu's inquiry, Fang's restrained expression gradually eased. Sima Zijing hurriedly explained to the three of them: "This is all last year, and the village was very happy when he heard the title of his brother's gold list. Collectively raised funds to build this Sima Mansion".

"I see, can you thank all the uncles and uncles in the village for me?" When Sima Zhao heard that this mansion was raised from the village, the heart hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, as long as it was not funded by the government. can think of the hospitality in the village, as well as the changes presided over by him and Wang An, and his heart is full of pain.

Sima Zijing didn't seem to have noticed Sima Zhao's abnormality. He pointed to the door of the house and made a gesture of please: "Brother, you big group of people have been standing at the door of the house. Doesn't it seem, we're very rude."

"Look at my memory, I just got distracted, and I neglected you for a while, no wonder, no wonder." Sima Zhao heard his younger brother's prompt, and hurriedly greeted Liu Sheng, Jia Fu, and the guards behind them, Yi Hun and a group of guards, and walked into the mansion together.
