When Sima Daiyuan heard this, she sneered: "I can't say it!" You insist on coming, this is good, hot face sticks to cold ass, but your heart is refreshing? ”

"This Chu Nanxuan is a good man who can't be found with a lantern, isn't it all for you, can't you be more considerate of my good intentions?"

"Good man, good man, my ears are calloused. In my heart, Brother Liyue is one in a hundred, no, he is a good husband in a million, and I will not marry him. ”

When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she pointed at Sima Dai and said angrily: "You...... Do you know how to write shame? Did you know that your father compared her to a dog? Didn't you see him and the cheap hoof eye-to-eye that day? Such a prodigal son, which eye do you have that is pleasing to him? ”

Even if Zhong Xiaoniang degraded Liu Liyue as worthless, in Sima Daiyuan's eyes and heart, Liu Liyue was a god-like existence and would not be shaken by her words.

The two were chatting, and a pair of mother and daughter, who were about the same age as the two of them, also carried large bags of things and went to knock on the door of the General's Mansion.

These two Zhong Xiaoniang know each other, and they are the eldest daughter of the main house of Youhou Mansion.

The old slave opened the red door and welcomed the mother and daughter in.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoniang was panting with anger, wandering in place and stomping her feet.

"A-Niang, did you see it? Why is there no customer when he is sick? People just don't want to see us, so why are we bored? Sima Dai's words also carried a little schadenfreude.

She said so, and turned to get into the carriage alone.

Zhong Xiaoniang looked at the general's mansion helplessly, sighed, and walked in the direction of the carriage with unwilling steps.

The sound of horses' hooves came from not far away, and two tall and sturdy horses stopped at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Chu Nanxuan and his entourage jumped off the horseback, and the retinue put the reins around the neck of the stone lion at the door, and followed Chu Nanxuan towards the general's mansion.

"Little General, please stay." When Zhong Xiaoniang saw Chu Nanxuan, she only had one feeling, it was really an endless road, and she was in a desperate place.

When Chu Nanxuan heard this, he stopped, turned around and turned his gaze to Zhong Xiaoniang.

Zhong Xiaoniang ordered Wen's mother to ask Sima Daiyuan to get out of the car, and she quickened her pace, walked to Chu Nanxuan's side, and said with a smile: "Little general, have a good holiday!" ”

"What's the matter?" I didn't want to say a word, but I still had that unsmiling expression.

"Little General, I am Zhong Jiayun, the aunt of Yin Sima Mansion in Luoyang Mansion, and I met you and I at your mother's birthday banquet."

"Sima Mansion?" Chu Nanxuan's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking, and after taking a sip of tea, he said: "It's hard to remember my mother's birthday banquet or not." There was a hint of displeasure on his cold face.

"Although I didn't do what happened that day, the person who was rude was a person from Sima Mansion after all, and we are indeed ashamed of the general's wife. No, today I took advantage of the Lantern Festival to apologize to my wife. I also hope that the little general will lead the way and take the woman and the little girl to meet the lady. ”

"What does it matter to me to meet my mother?"

Zhong Xiaoniang was extremely embarrassed and said with a smile: "Hehe! The little general really lives up to his name, he is resolute, wise and decisive, even when he speaks. The little girl Sima Daiyuan, who is in the prime of her life, knows books and etiquette, and is gentle and virtuous. The little general has no brothers and sisters, and he is a little lonely on weekdays. There happens to be a lantern festival tonight, if the little general doesn't dislike it, the woman will let the little girl accompany the little general tonight to visit the lanterns and cruise the river. ”

"I, Chu Nanxuan, haven't reached the point where any cats and dogs have been sent to the door, and they are all happy to accept it." After saying that, Chu Nanxuan flicked his sleeves and turned around.

Sima Daiyuan approached, and when she saw Chu Nanxuan being so arrogant and domineering, she was angry.

She rushed to the front of the Zhu Gate, lined up her arms, and blocked Chu Nanxuan's way with her body.

"Hey, hey! What a domineering little general. Don't think that you have a hussar general, who looks pleasing to the eye, and all the women in the world will revolve around you and give them their arms. Hum! One head, two legs, that's just that, I really think I have three heads and six arms. Sima Daiyuan's face was full of disdain, and she said with spit flying, and she didn't look like a lady at all.

Seeing her like this, Zhong Xiaoniang was in a hurry beside her, and her words of dissuasion were fruitless.

Chu Nanxuan asked coldly: "So what?" ”

"I ...... I just want to tell you that I, Sima Dai, am not uncommon for people like you to be self-righteous and pretentious. ”

"Finished?"

“……”

"Then get out of the way!"

Chu Nanxuan's cold arrogance was different from ordinary people, which made Sima Daiyuan speechless.

It was the first time she had met such a person who was not shocked, and Chu Nanxuan's calmness made her a little overwhelmed. She was there, looking at Chu Nanxuan's jade tree face in the wind in a daze, her cheeks scarlet.

Sima Daiyu didn't know why, when she saw Chu Nanxuan's cold eyes, she actually made the gods move her body.

Chu Nanxuan and his entourage entered the general's mansion without looking back, and the Zhu Gate was slammed shut.

If it is true that there are no two kinds of melons on a vine, such a fierce woman, she can't avoid them.

He casually instructed the old slave to guard the door, and in the future, he would never let the women of Sima Mansion step into Chu Mansion half a step further. Who knew that he and his mother coincided, it turned out that his mother had already told him so.

After a while, Sima Daiyuan came back to her senses, her face was full of anger, and she scolded: "Who are these people? A-Niang, you have seen it, if you want me to share the bed with such an unruly person, then it is better to let me die. ”

With that, she puffed out her cheeks, crossed her hands on her hips, gasped, and hurried towards the carriage.

Zhong Xiaoniang is still unwilling, she is not disgusted with Chu Nanxuan. chased after Sima Daiyuan and persuaded: "The greater the power, the greater the temper, which can show his high status." He is a little unkind, but it is precisely because of this that those warblers and Yanyan can't get close, which is called a sense of security. ”

Along the way, Zhong Xiaoniang chattered endlessly, and it didn't stop for a few moments, and Sima Daiyi could only go in and out of her left ear and out of her right ear, ignoring it.

Here and now, her heart is like a rock, and her whole heart is filled with Liu Liyue's voice and smile, and she can't tolerate anything else.

At the end of the day, on the banks of the Ruhe River, the lights were bright and the voices of people were boiling.

The cruise ship in the river is bustling, there are talented and beautiful people on the boat to enjoy the lake and mountains, there are also scholars and scholars who are against wine and poetry, and there are also large families with their wives and concubines and children to eat boat dishes to celebrate reunion.

On the street near the river, there are crowds of people, and all kinds of lanterns are dazzling, so lively.

In Sima Mansion, due to the special situation this year, Sima Qu did not let the people in the mansion make too many arrangements. sent someone to invite a small opera troupe to Qilanxuan for the old lady to relieve the old lady's boredom.

Su Xiaoniang was confined, Sima Guansheng was grounded, Lu was still in confinement, and the huge Sima Mansion was much more deserted than the Lantern Festival in previous years, and there was no festive atmosphere.

In the main dining hall of Sima Mansion, there are delicious wines and delicacies on the table, Sima Qu, Zhong Xiaoniang, Sima Daiyuan, Sima Daining and Sima Daiyu sit around the table, this is the annual Lantern Festival family banquet.

Zhong Xiaoniang diligently sandwiched the dishes for Sima Qu, even though she tried hard to laugh and try her best to make the atmosphere not so cold, Sima Qu's face still did not have the joy that the festival should have.

At the end of the banquet, the maids came forward to serve with the Lantern Festival.

Lantern Festival, this good dish is indispensable.

In the porcelain white bowl, there are a few round and white lantern festivals like jade, soft and lubricated, one bite down, the sweetness immediately fills the entire mouth, the sweetness slips into the heart along the esophagus, and the mood is much better.

"Sweet, it's still the taste of previous years." Sima Qu, who has been silent and has no joy on his face, finally showed a smile.

"If you like it, eat more, and there are more kitchens!" Zhong Xiaoniang hurriedly agreed.

"Is there a black sesame filling?"

When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she set her eyes on Mother Wen, and Mother Wen nodded in response.

Zhong Xiaoniang smiled and said, "I'll tell them to come over with some of them." ”

She glanced at the maid Youlan who was working in the kitchen, and the maid Youlan bowed playfully and wanted to leave the room.

"Serve more wine." Sima Qu added.

The maid Youlan answered and exited the room.

In previous years, Sima Qu used to eat peanut and sugar filling, but I don't know why I want to change the taste this year? Zhong Xiaoniang wanted to ask, but she stopped talking, afraid that she didn't figure out the reason and swept Sima Qu's interest.

The maid Youlan's work efficiency is quite high, and as soon as Sima Qu ate a few Lantern Festivals in the bowl, she entered the door with a bowl of Lantern Festival.

Zhong Xiaoniang got up and took the porcelain bowl from the maid's hand, took it to Sima Qu attentively, and sighed at the jade hand that was burned by the porcelain bowl, and said with a smile: "Husband, the Lantern Festival is only refreshing to eat hot, eat it while it's hot." ”

Sima Qu glanced at the steaming Lantern Festival, pointed to the maid who had just entered the door and said, "You, use the soup cup to pack the Lantern Festival and send it to the second girl, and be quick at your feet, don't let the second girl eat cold Lantern Festival, it's not good for the stomach." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Zhong Xiaoniang's face stopped abruptly.

Sima Qu's words were like a basin of cold water splashing on her face, making her cold from head to foot, cold to warm and beating heart.

Blood is thicker than water, no matter how bad that cheap hoof is, it will always have a place in your heart. And me? I've known you for more than ten years, when have you really considered me?

I just want to ask for a good marriage for my daughter, but you are ruthlessly hindering, and you want to keep everything good for that cheap hoof, and leave some leftovers for my mother-in-law.

She hated, Sima Qu's insignificant care for Sima Guansheng, but when she was jealous, she was invisibly magnified.

The maid hurriedly packed the Lantern Festival and walked towards Lichun Pavilion with a porcelain cup.

Sima Dai Ning saw that the grounded Sima Guansheng had Lantern Festival to eat, and remembered Su Xiaoniang who was locked up in the Wuwu Pavilion. begged the father to give a bowl of Lantern Festival and allowed his daughter to visit A-Niang in order to fulfill her filial piety. ”

When Sima Qu heard this, he instantly frowned, and his expression became heavy.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoniang hurriedly reprimanded: "Dai Ning, today's festival, if there is anything to talk about later, don't ruin your father's interest." ”

When Sima Dai heard this, she glared at Zhong Xiaoniang angrily, eager to kill Zhong Xiaoniang with her eyes. She suppressed her anger and said as calmly as possible: "Aunt Zhong is also a mother, if one day she is also like this, do you also hope that the eldest sister will be indifferent to you?" ”
