Chapter 175: Sima Family Chatter

At this time, just after the nap, Sima Qing yawned and pushed open the door. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he stretched leisurely. Think about the year before last, although he said that he had three sons, the eldest son and the second son were diligent and studious, and they needed to study hard. If it weren't for the family, with those few acres of thin fields, hard support, and relief from the village, I was afraid that my eldest son's studies would be interrupted, and how could I be proud today. If his youngest son could be more sensible, it would be even more perfect.

At this time, Sima Zijing ran quickly, saw his father stretching his waist, and showed a look of surprise: "Father...... The eldest brother is back, with two friends, and is now in the living room."

"Zhao'er? Coming back? Why didn't I get the message". Sima Qing looked at his second son with an excited face, and was a little puzzled. Could it be that I haven't woken up yet? Misheard.

Sima Zijing saw that his father had a puzzled face, and hurriedly explained: "Father, eldest brother, he is back, and he is waiting in the living room now."

"Living room? Why is that? Where is the reason, after returning to their home, they are still waiting in the living room. Don't deceive your father, Jing'er." Sima Qing heard his son confirm again, and he felt a little confident in his heart. But when he heard the words living room, he smiled and waved his hand. It is estimated that this is a prank by the second son, if Zhao'er really comes back, can he not hand a letter to the family first? .

Sima Zijing saw his father waving his hand, knowing that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly continued to explain: "The eldest brother took two close friends and returned home together. If you don't settle them in the living room at this time, where can you go? Believe it or not, father, you should go to the living room and have a look, so as not to snub your guests."

This is also true, now that Zhao'er is in a high position, his best friend, how can he be so lazy as a father. Well, whether what you say is true or not, I'll go check it out." Sima Qing heard his son's explanation and nodded. Anyway, the living room is not far away, so it's good to go and see it.

Sima Zhao was in the living room, and after sitting down with Jia Fu and Liu Sheng as guests, Jia Fu looked at the furnishings around him and couldn't help but praise: "Sima Zhao, I just took a good look at it." I feel that your home is no less than our Liu Mansion. In the future, if you are crying poor, it will be really intolerable."

"When I entered the mansion, I looked at the plaque on the mansion. The payment is like, the prefect of Quanzhou. From this point of view, it can be seen that our dynasty treats scholars preferentially." Liu Sheng thought of Fang Cai, when he came in. Inadvertently, I looked up and saw a plaque with a few words on it, and I couldn't help but sigh.

Sima Zhao nodded and looked at Liu Sheng and Jia Fu: "I just took a closer look at the years and months, if the calculation is correct." It should have been last year, and the news of my high school jinshi came, and Quanzhou Mansion specially sent it. As for what you said about Jia Fu, crying poor. When my father comes, you can ask in person. See if I'm crying poor or really poor."

"I don't ask, leave some suspense, it's more interesting." Jia Fu heard Sima Zhao ask him to ask, remembered the scene when he met Sima Zhao in Jiangling Mansion, and quickly shook his head. At that time, it was impossible to fake. I don't want to, I'm not bored.

Looking at Jia Fu, who shook his head, Sima Zhao and Liu Sheng looked at each other and smiled. Liu Sheng pointed at him and joked with a smile: "I think you don't want to leave suspense, but you just want to play tricks and pretend to be confused."

"What confusion? It's true, it's false. Do you think now that Sima Zhao at this time will be the same as before, and he will not be able to make ends meet." Jia Fu remembered that Sima Zhao, who rushed to Luoyang together and was penniless, couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Jia Fu who was laughing, Sima Zhao seemed to think of the embarrassment at the beginning, and smiled embarrassedly: "I was thanks to your relief at the beginning, otherwise there would have been, Sima Zhao today."

"It's a trivial matter, but you can't be so grateful." Liu Sheng saw that Sima Zhao was a little embarrassed, and smiled and relieved.

When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng's words, he thought of the scene of buying a house at the beginning, and nodded fiercely: "Sima Zhao, don't say it, we would never have dreamed of it at the beginning." Brother Sheng actually carried his wealth with him. The day I learned about it, I was completely shocked by the gold. If you want me to say that you were too merciful at the beginning, why didn't you kill him more?"

"Thousands of gold assets, no wonder you Jia Fu can open a pedestrian street, establish a sparrow newspaper and a sparrow chamber of commerce. I see, when I first learned of your actions, I was puzzled for a long time." Sima Zhao heard Jia Fu talk about Liu Sheng, when he had a thousand gold and family wealth. Thinking of all the things that happened after going to Luoyang, he showed an expression of sudden realization. But when I thought that when I was in Jiajia Village, I went to Liu Sheng's house, as if he was also a family with four walls, and the only thing of value was the buffalo, how did I get this wealth of gold? .

When Jia Fu saw Sima Zhao's expression, he suddenly realized for a while, frowned slightly and pondered, understood his doubts in his heart, and explained with a smile: "When Brother Sheng was in the village for three years, he had constant whimsical ideas. A radius of 100 miles, all of them are blessed by it. The countryside is simple and wants to repay his kindness, but he refuses to accept it. At the beginning of last year, I learned that Brother Sheng was going to travel far away and raise thousands of dollars for funding."

"No wonder that day, according to the proposal, when I returned to Chang'an. Your Father advises us to stay for an extra day. It turned out to be the people in the countryside who wanted to see Liu Sheng off." Sima Zhao heard Jia Fu's explanation and nodded. It seems that Liu Sheng's move to open a good hall is not a whim. But it was then that there was this good thought.

When Liu Sheng just wanted to speak, outside the living room, Sima Zijing came with Sima Zhaoqing. Sima Zhao sat on the main seat, happened to see it, and hurriedly got up and walked out to greet him: "Unfilial son Sima Zhao, I have seen my father." I haven't seen each other for more than two years, but I don't know if I'll be okay."

"Naturally, it's fine, I don't know where you come from, the words of the unfilial son." Sima Qing walked outside the living room door, saw his son, and asked.

Sima Zhao looked at his father and saluted respectfully: "Parents are far away, even if there are thousands of excuses, they should be unfilial."

"No, no, I'm a farmer. But I also know that entering Beijing to catch the exam and the title of the gold list is a major event for the glory of the ancestors. The ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs, if they hear about it, their faces will be bright. This should be a great filial piety, and what you just said is only a small filial piety, how can it be compared." In the past, I often heard in my ears that the two sons discussed learning. Unconsciously, Sima Qing also had some self-cultivation.

Liu Sheng and Jia Fu also stood up and walked out to salute Sima Qing: "Liu Sheng and Jia Fu have seen their uncle, and this statement should be a warning for future generations."

"A farmer in the countryside can only follow the crowd. Let you laugh and laugh." Sima Qing heard Liu Sheng and Jia Fu's words, smiled and pointed to them to the living room, signaling them to sit down again.

Sima Zhao hurriedly bowed down to receive the order and looked at his father: "Sima Zhao will, remember his father's teachings, and practice the way of great filial piety."

"Uncle first, please ......." Liu Sheng saw Sima Qing motioning for them to enter the living room and sit down, and hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Seeing Liu Sheng's politeness, Sima Zijing also saluted the two of them: "You are with your father, and my eldest brother and I follow."

"Why bother, let's just go in together." Jia Fu looked at it and shook his head, and strode in after speaking. Seeing this, several people remembered what they had just said, those polite words, and couldn't help laughing. I followed him and walked into the living room.
