Chapter 010: Wise Words
As soon as he took a step, two soldiers quickly caught up from behind, blocked Sima Hongyan's way, and shouted: "Bold, His Highness the Ninth doesn't let you leave, you can't go!" ”
Sima Hongyan snorted and turned back, and said impatiently at the Nine Emperor Princes: "What? Does His Highness the Nine have any other advice? ”
The Nine Emperor Princes had a breezy expression and said, "I can't advise, but I need you to explain to me, what are you doing here as a woman?" As he spoke, he pointed to the iron shop next to him.
Sima Hongyan's expression froze, slightly unnatural, and argued: "I'll go in and take a look, can you take care of it?" ”
Sima Hongyan's face changed slightly, and he was looked at by the Nine Emperor Princes. He was sure in his heart and said, "The safety of the capital is under my jurisdiction, and I can naturally manage it." ”
Seeing that the two of them were getting stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, Qing Han was afraid that he would really offend the Nine Emperors, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Highness the Ninth is forgiving your sins, my young lady has just recovered from a serious illness, and her mind is still a little unclear. We're going home, and we're not going to show up again. Please also ask His Highness the Ninth to be gracious! ”
Sima Hongyan stepped forward, pulled Qinghan up from the ground, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" We didn't make a mistake, so why beg him? Qinghan saw that Miss didn't know what was at stake, and her anxious tears were about to come out.
Pulling Qinghan behind him, Sima Hongyan stepped forward, looked directly at the Nine Emperor Princes, and said loudly: "Since His Royal Highness the Ninth is suspicious of me, then please go and inquire yourself." If I do break the law, you will arrest me! ”
At this moment, Sima Hongyan's eyes were firm, staring at the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, without fear.
Immediately, two soldiers rushed into the iron shop and brought out all the people inside. Among them, the blacksmith who traded with Sima Hongyan was brought to the Nine Emperor Princes alone. This person is five big and three thick, but in front of the Nine Emperor Princes, he trembled like chaff, obviously frightened.
A soldier whispered a few words in his ear, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Back to His Highness the Nine, this girl did customize some things with us just now, this is the drawing I drew according to her instructions, and I also ask His Highness the Ninth to take a look." Here fifty taels of silver is the fixed money paid by this girl. ”
The blacksmith did not hide anything, and the dish was revealed. Qinghan couldn't help but worry for Miss, you must know that making weapons privately in Yanling is a serious crime, and the lightest is life imprisonment. Looking at her young lady again, her eyes were sharp, staring at the Nine Emperor Princes without squinting, and she was not afraid.
The Nine Emperor Princes took the drawing and opened it to look at it. Who knew that after looking left and right, I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see what it was.
I saw that on the first piece of paper were several iron rings, the size of which was like a ring, but it was not like it, and they were arranged crookedly together, with strange shapes, and I couldn't see any effect. The next picture is even stranger, several iron pipes of different lengths and thicknesses are side by side on the paper, and these iron pipes are all small heads and big bellies, extremely asymmetrical.
The Nine Emperors are conceited and well-informed, but now looking at these pictures, they can't think of what they are. Look at the last one, but there is no picture, just write the requirements for building, in addition to the size, it is actually to use the best steel to refine. Not only that, but there are still as many as thirty sets of these weird-looking things.
Looking at the things on a few strange drawings, whether they are sharp or not, whether they are sharp or not, whether they are blades or not, it really can't be said to be a private weapon.
The Nine Emperor Prince handed a few pictures to a subordinate behind him, secretly wondering in his heart, he really didn't know what medicine this woman was selling in the gourd, and now seeing that she looked indifferent, he was a little hesitant in his heart. But the trace of panic that flashed on Sima Hongyan's face just now, he would never be mistaken.
After a while, the subordinate handed back the drawings and shook his head helplessly.
The Nine Emperor Princes held up the drawings, handed them to Sima Hongyan, and said, "Girl, can you explain to me what these are for?" ”
After thinking about it for such a long time, Sima Hongyan had already thought about how to deal with it. She smiled "hehe", pointed to the drawings and said, "This, a bunch of iron rings, is what I use to insert candles in the house." You don't know, it's always dark in my house at night, so I'm going to use it to put a few more candles in it. ”
Then he pointed to the one with iron pipes underneath, and said, "This is a musical instrument, and it is said that these many pipes together make a beautiful sound." ”
"You're talking about pan flutes?" The Nine Emperor Princes suddenly interjected.
"Huh?" Sima Hongyan was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't think what a pan flute was.
"What? You don't know what a pan flute is? The Nine Emperors' eyes were full of suspicion, staring at Sima Hongyan's expression.
Sima Hongyan had a flash of inspiration in his mind at this time, and hurriedly said: "Of course I know the pan flute, but the one you said is used to blow, and I am used to knock this." After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh a few times.
Looking at the Nine Emperors' faces slightly, it was obvious that he didn't believe it at all!
Believe it or not, fool the past first! Sima Hongyan secretly thought in his heart, this kid is deep enough, and his face is still not surprised or happy, and he can't guess what he is thinking at all.
The Nine Emperor Princes stopped talking, stared at the drawings for a while, and then handed them back to the blacksmith and arranged: "You follow this girl's instructions to build it as soon as possible, without delay!" The blacksmith hurriedly said yes.
Then he said to Sima Hongyan: "Don't care, girl, where the responsibility is, I hope to forgive me." ”
Finally confused, Sima Hongyan was secretly happy in his heart. replied: "His Royal Highness the Ninth is also official, I won't care." Please, can I go? ”
"Yes! But say hello to the girl in advance, and when your instrument is made, the prince will personally go to the house to disturb and listen to the sound of this instrument. Leave! After speaking, the Nine Emperor Princes hugged his fists and turned away.
"Holy! Isn't it endless? Sima Hongyan was a little annoyed, he didn't expect this Nine Emperors to be so bad, and his feelings would have to be found later.
The matter was over, and Wu Zhao and the others escorted Sima Hongyan away. Along the way, Sima Hongyan didn't say a word until he returned home.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the porter reported that Steward Sun had returned, and he had been waiting for the young lady to come back in the hall for a long time. Steward Sun has been waiting for news from Lord Li in Xiangguo Mansion because of the matter in the mansion, and he came back at this time, and he must have reached a conclusion in the court.
Sima Hongyan hurried to the hall with Qinghan, only to see Steward Sun walking around the hall in a hurry.
Seeing Steward Sun's unyielding appearance, Sima Hongyan vaguely guessed a few points. Sure enough, as soon as Steward Sun saw the young lady, he burst into tears and shouted that he was useless.
It turned out that today, Li Xiangguo's court truthfully played the matter of Sima Hongyan's resurrection, and asked the emperor to withdraw the order of transferring the general's mansion to the second prince. However, it was not recognized by the emperor, and at the same time, there were ministers who played, saying that although Sima Hongyan was lucky not to die, but the previous corruption of the royal style was still there, and it was really inappropriate to live in such a luxurious general's mansion, but thinking of the merits of General Sima in the past, he did not treat his descendants badly, and the emperor only needed to allocate another mansion for Sima's descendants to live.
Therefore, the emperor decided on the spot that the current general's mansion would still be given to the second prince, and a courtyard in the east of the city would be allocated for Sima Yongcheng's descendants to live. It is estimated that the decree will arrive within a few days.
Steward Sun half cried and half said, and finally made things clear.
Sima Hongyan pondered for a while and asked Steward Sun, "Do you know where the new house is?" What is the environment? ”
Steward Sun first wondered, and then said regretfully: "Miss, do you still care about this?" This time, our general's mansion was disgraced, and even the mansion was changed to someone else. How does this allow us to account to the Lord's spirit in heaven? How to meet the ancestors of the Sima family after death? As he spoke, he sobbed and cried again.
Sima Hongyan was upset by the old man's crying, and said helplessly: "Steward Sun, what's the use of you crying now?" By divine decree, you must move it, and if you don't move, you must move. At this moment, we can only take care of the living first, where can we take care of the dead. Seeing that Steward Sun's color changed greatly, he said again: "I mean, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood." Today we are a little wronged, but tomorrow we will take it back, crying and crying will not solve anything. ”
Qinghan also said: "Old housekeeper, what Miss said is that we will bear with it for the time being, we have to believe that Miss will definitely take this place back one day." ”
This time, Qinghan supported herself so much, Sima Hongyan was very pleased, she said, "What is it here? In the future, I will take you back to a place that is a hundred times more luxurious than here. ”
This bold remark caused Qinghan to be shocked, and asked, "Miss, do you still want to rebel and rob the palace?" ”
