Chapter 111: Zhongda Falls Ill
The house of the Sima family was built when Sima Jun was alive, covering an area of more than ten acres, in the east of the county seat of Wenxian County.
In addition to Sima Fang's eight sons living in it, Sima Fang's brother and brother's descendants also lived in this mansion, plus servants and maids, and more than 100 people lived in the whole courtyard.
After eating breakfast, Sima Yi read "The Art of War" for a while, and then went to the courtyard to practice swordsmanship. Suddenly, the twelve-year-old seventh brother Sima Tong ran over out of breath, holding his stomach and panting as he ran, shouting: "Second brother, it's not good, it's not good!" ”
"What's wrong, Xiao Qi? Slow down, what's the flustery? Sima Yi's face sank, and he put away his sword and asked.
"There is a general who is coming towards our house with his troops, and it looks like there are five or six hundred people!" Sima Tong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said.
"Hiss......" Sima Yi gasped, "Who is here?" Did you know? ”
"I heard the third brother say that it seems to be the son of Jizhou Mu Yuan, I don't know what to do?" Sima Tong recalled what the third brother had said to him. It's just that he is a teenager, and he doesn't remember Yuan Shao's name too clearly.
"Uh...... Is he the son of the Jizhou Mu family? Sima Yi's eyes flickered, his pupils kept changing, and after a while, he suddenly realized, patted his thigh and said, "I know, if you don't make it, you're here to invite our brother to be an official!" ”
"Being an official?" Sima Tong was amused when he heard it, "It's good to be an official, the third brother wants to be an official the most, but he doesn't have a chance, and he doesn't want to do chores in the yamen." Plus daddy doesn't allow it. So he never got a chance. If someone comes to invite, the third brother will be happy! ”
Sima Yi glanced at the little brother with cold eyes and reprimanded, "What do you know? Fang is in chaos today, the political situation is unpredictable, this party sings and that party appears, I don't know who can have the last laugh, do you think this official is easy to do? ”
Sima Tong was inexplicably reprimanded, pouting and arguing: "What are you doing angry at me?" It's not that I want to be an official, I'm talking about the third brother wanting to be an official. ”
Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "I can't control them, if Shuda wants to be an official, just go with him." There is an eldest brother and a father in the family. It's not my second brother's turn to call the shots. ”
As he spoke, he fell into Sima Tong's ear. whispered: "You go and tell the eldest brother, just say that I don't want to be an official." If Yuan Gongzi is here to invite us to come out, just say that I have wind paralysis and can't move my hands and feet! ”
After speaking. slapped Sima Tong on the ass. "Go. I told all the people next to each other, and said that I had unfortunately suffered from wind paralysis a few days ago, and if anyone dared to tell the truth. Watch out for me stabbing a hole in him with my sword! ”
Seeing Sima Tong running out of his yard with a fart, Sima Yi hurriedly walked to the door and bolted the door, then walked into the house and took off his robe, and lay on the bed wearing only his underwear. Feeling that it was not like it, he got up again and took a white cloth towel to cover his head, and then eavesdropped on the movement outside nervously.
While lying down, I secretly wondered, this thing is not right, I heard that Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao is very arrogant, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter his eyes. His father is just a small county magistrate, and his brothers are so young and don't have much reputation, at best, they are well-known in Wen County, why did the son of the Yuan family visit Sima's house with such a big posture?
"Xiao Qi said that he came with soldiers, it seems that the person who came is not good!" Sima Yi muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple, "Whatever, I'll pretend to be sick for the time being and see if I can hide it?" Goodbye opportunity, let's do it! ”
After Yuan Mai came to the county seat of Wenxian with the soldiers, the new Wenxian commander Zhang Fang hurriedly greeted him and asked for his intention, but he was originally here to visit Sima's family, and hurriedly led the way. Just looked at Yuan Mai with his soldiers, swords and swords, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he only led Yuan Mai and his party to the door of the Sima family's ancestral house.
Yuan Mai quietly instructed Zhou Cangdao: "Yuanfu, you don't have to follow me in later, you divide your troops to guard the doors of Sima's house, no one is allowed to let him out, if someone insists on going out, tie me up, and wait for me to interrogate." ”
"Okay, I know what to do!" Zhou Cang agreed, turned over and dismounted, and quietly arranged the soldiers.
Sima Fang was originally three brothers, the eldest brother Sima Xun followed him as a staff officer, and the third brother Sima An had died of the plague, so now the entire Sima compound is in charge of Sima Fang's eldest son Sima Lang. Hearing that the son of the Zhou Mu family came to visit in person, Sima Lang personally brought his third brother Sima Fu, fourth brother Sima Kui, fifth brother Sima Sui, and several cousins to welcome him.
"Oops...... I don't know if the son comes to the door, he will miss the welcome, forgive the sins! ”
Sima Lang took a group of brothers to pay homage. In front of the sons of the Yuan family, their brothers are, to put it bluntly, diaosi, that is, they call themselves the wang clan in front of the peddlers, pawns or ordinary scholars, and in front of the Yuan family, they are simply compared to the light of fireflies. My own dad is only afraid of other people's dads to lift shoes, and people may not use them.
Yuan Mai immediately glanced at the people who greeted him, the oldest was twenty-four or five years old, and the youngest was fourteen or fifteen years old, ranging in height and height, seven or eight young people, and I didn't know which one was Sima Yi? But if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, and you can't see that it has the temperament of a hero.
In my memory, there was a wild history that mentioned that Sima Yi had a wolf appearance, as the name suggests, that is, he can be like a wolf, his body does not move, and he can turn his head around half a circle. Yuan Mai didn't know if it was true or not, but since there was such a statement, it must show that Sima Yi's appearance was different from ordinary people, and he had obvious characteristics.
The person who took the lead in front was about twenty-one or twelve years old, and his appearance was also elegant, dressed as a navy blue Confucian scholar, with a medium build, seven feet and above, and his demeanor was steady, looking like a talent. But Yuan Mai can judge by his perception that the whole person is definitely not Sima Yi, but he doesn't know who it is?
"Huh...... It's really abrupt to visit, what's the wonder? Yuan Mai was not arrogant, and dismounted to return the courtesy.
Wenxian Ling Zhang Fang had already met the Sima brothers, and immediately took the initiative to introduce the Sima brothers to Yuan Mai, "This is Sima Lang, the word Boda, that is Sima Fu, the word Shuda, and that is Sima Kui, the word Jida......"
The people introduced by Zhang Fang gave gifts to Yuan Mai respectively, and Yuan Mai also smiled and returned the salute, muttering to himself in his heart: "Okay, your Sima Yi, you really hide and don't see me, and I don't know if you hid or ran away, fortunately, I was prepared, I want to see what tricks you play!"
