Sima Hongyan estimated that it was a little difficult for Xiao Hongying to name her, so she said: "Hongying has always been simple and straightforward, cheerful and lively, I suggest it be called 'Frank Pavilion', which is in line with her character." ”

As soon as Sima Hongyan finished speaking, Xiao Hongying immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "Frank Pavilion? Good. But why does it sound a bit like a Taoist temple? ”

"Poof", Shi Jinyan and several people were amused by her words. Sima Hongyan was said to be blushing, and said angrily: "If you have the ability, you can say it yourself!" ”

Shi Jinyan came out to relieve the siege and said: "In this way, Hongying is happy and carefree every day, how about I think it is called 'Huanxiju'?" I hope she'll be happy like this every day. ”

Compared with "Frank Pavilion", "Huanxiju" is more in line with Xiao Hongying's thoughts, and the poem Jinyan attached a meaning, Xiao Hongying was even more satisfied, clapping and applauding again and again, and it was called "Huanxiju".

Sima Hongyan smiled at Shi Jinyan and said: "It's just that a scholar has a sense of intention, obviously it sounds similar to the frank pavilion, but it should be more appropriate for you to say it." ”

Hearing that even Sima Hongyan praised Shi Jinyan's good writing, Zhong Liying said to Shi Jinyan: "Second sister, since you helped once, you don't care about helping again." Look at you for a name for my yard too! ”

Shi Jinyan was not polite, she said well, looked at Zhong Liying's courtyard gate and thought for a while. Then he said: "Fourth sister, you are silent on weekdays, I hope you can get rid of your troubles when you get home and live happily, I think it's called 'Forget Worry Pavilion', what do you think?" ”

Because of her family feud and her departure from home, Zhong Liying usually doesn't like to talk, that is, when she is with Sima Hongyan's sisters, she will smile a little, and "Forget Worry Pavilion" really expresses her heart. Zhong Liying smiled brightly and praised: "Good name, it's called 'Forget Worry Pavilion'!" ”

Ban Lingruo secretly wrote it down on the side, thinking that he would order someone to make a door plaque tomorrow.

Shi Jinyan saw that Zhong Liying liked it, so she looked at Sima Hongyan and laughed: "What? Do you want me to help you change the name of Sima Mansion to a new one? ”

Sima Hongyan glared at her and said angrily: "My three words were given by the emperor, didn't you hurt me if you asked me to change my name?" If you have the ability, you will change your father's three words of 'Shangshufu' first, and I will let you change it for me. ”

Preparing for Zhong Liying and Xiao Hongying to set up a mansion, it was not Sima Hongyan who advocated spending the imperial court's money. Because Zhong Liying already had an official rank in the women's army, although he was not only a deputy commander, but he also had the right to own his own residence, so Sima Hongyan asked Emperor Yanzhen for a decree to prepare for it.

Although Xiao Hongying does not have an official position, it is regarded as the training goal of the commander, and she left home alone to join the women's army to contribute to the country.

This matter has been discussed many times by Sima Hongyan and Shi Jinyan and Ban Lingruo, and it has finally been realized today, which can be described as a great joy.

The five of them happily entered Zhong Liying's "Forget Worry Pavilion", only to see that the tables and chairs had been set up. The subordinates of the three courtyards were busy together, and naturally the speed was extremely fast, and after a while, the table was full of dishes.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a small table covered with red cloth, which was for the Sima Hongyan sisters to sit on, and the other people sat on the big table around them. When everyone gathered, Sima Hongyan took the lead in raising the cup to congratulate Ban Lingruo on winning the championship and winning glory for Yanling. Shi Jinyan then raised a glass to celebrate Zhong Liying and Xiao Hongying becoming new neighbors.

In the east of the city now, in addition to the women's military camp not far away, there are just Sima Hongyan's mansions, so no matter how much trouble you make, it will not affect others. The subordinates were also free to let go of the ladies with their connivance, pushing each other's cups and changing lamps.

I am happy today, Sima Hongyan and the sisters are also happy, plus there is Xiao Hongying, a funny crazy girl, who has eaten a meal for nearly an hour, and the heat is still unabated.

Everyone was happy, Zhong Liying left his seat and ran to Sima Hongyan's side, and said softly: "Eldest sister, I have something I want to ask you for today on this opportunity, I don't know if you can agree?" ”

It was the first time Zhong Liying said the word "ask", Sima Hongyan was curious about what made her say this word, so she pretended to be indifferent and said, "You tell me what is the matter first!" ”

As if he was a little drunk, Zhong Liying got up and pulled Xiao Hongying, who was still talking nonsense, and the two knelt in front of Sima Hongyan. Xiao Hongying was dragged to her knees by Zhong Liying in a daze, she didn't understand why Zhong Liying suddenly pulled herself to kneel in front of Sima Hongyan, but when she saw Zhong Liying's serious face, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.

This incident came too suddenly, and all the people in the courtyard were stupefied, and the originally noisy courtyard suddenly fell silent. I don't know what's going on!

Ban Lingruo was also taken aback, and the two of them suddenly fell to their knees, thinking that they had done something wrong, and got up to go over. She had just left her seat, but she was suddenly grabbed by Shi Jinyan beside her, and Shi Jinyan shook her head slightly.

Suddenly, Sima Hongyan was also baffled by Zhong Liying's actions, but she didn't show her face, nor did she support the two, she just asked plainly: "Fourth sister, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhong Liying said: "Eldest sister, thanks to you for saving me, I can live to this day." and thank you for not forsaking me, and for treating me as a sister. Today, I also bought a home, which made my heart warm like never before. I ......"

"Stop, stop, stop, stop......" Sima Hongyan shouted to stop interrupting Zhong Liying's words, she got up and pulled Zhong Liying with her left hand, pulled Xiao Hongying with her right hand, dragged the two of them up from the ground, and said to the two of them: "Let's not always talk about the past, just say what we have to say, with the affection between us, do we still need you to do this?" ”

As soon as Sima Hongyan said this, Zhong Liying glanced at Xiao Hongying, who was dazed, and simply said directly: "Eldest sister, I want Hongying to be our fifth sister!" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhong Liying begged himself for the first time, and it was actually for Xiao Hongying. Sima Hongyan didn't understand Zhong Liying's intentions yet, so he was silent.

didn't hear Sima Hongyan's answer, Zhong Liying said: "Eldest sister, I know that my request is a bit abrupt, but since we have been together for a while, I feel that Hongying is honest and kind-hearted. Although she is a little nonsense from time to time, she is meticulous in her work in the women's army and strictly obeys military orders. Now that she is still young, she will definitely become the pride of the women's army in a few years! ”

Sima Hongyan stared at Zhong Liying's eyes and asked, "Fourth sister!" We all know what you said, and these have nothing to do with whether Hongying can be the fifth sister. What I'm wondering now is, why did you make this request? ”

Zhong Liying glanced at Xiao Hongying again, and then said: "Actually, I feel sorry for Hongying, since she told us about her childhood experience, I don't know why I want to protect her and take care of her, especially during this time when we get along day and night, I can feel the happiness of Hongying from the bottom of my heart when I am in the female army and with us." She treats us like sisters from the bottom of her heart, and when the four of us sisters make friends today, I can feel the loneliness of the red shadow, so I want to recognize this sister. ”

When Zhong Liying spoke, Xiao Hongying, who had always been indifferent to anything, cried extremely sadly, as if the grievances deposited in her heart burst out in an instant. She didn't dare to speak loudly, she tried her best to restrain herself, but she couldn't restrain herself, and her sobs were filled with heart-rending pain, so that tears wet her front after a while.

Xiao Hongying cried, arousing the wound in Zhong Liying's heart, and cried together.

One of these two cried aggrieved, and the other cried grieving. caused some maids and women in the courtyard to shed tears. The originally festive and joyful atmosphere instantly became miserable and sad, and Sima Hongyan felt as if he had suddenly changed from the wedding hall to the funeral scene, and the change was too fast to make people a little confused.

may be mainly due to the direct emotions of the ancients, there are not so many twists and turns, and the emotions show whatever state wherever they go, without concealment. It's just a bit blunt in the reversal!

Today, Zhong Liying's request, Sima Hongyan hadn't thought about it before, but as the supreme commander of the women's army, she had some factors that she had to worry about.

The first is Xiao Hongying's identity, she is the eldest lady of the first major sect in the rivers and lakes, and she has an extremely complex background in the rivers and lakes behind her, she is not the same as Zhong Liying alone, if she is too involved, it is easy to arouse the emperor's suspicion. The women's army has just started, and if the emperor has any scruples because of Xiao Hongying, Sima Hongyan is afraid that the future development of the women's army will be curbed.

The second is the impact on female soldiers. Sima Hongyan, Shi Jinyan, and Ban Lingruo's parents were all ministers of the court, and it was natural for them to be ordered by the emperor to form a female army and become the commander. Although Zhong Liying is a person in the rivers and lakes, she has her own unique ability, her ability to alchemy and medicine is unmatched, and the female soldiers are convinced, and no one has any objection to becoming the commander.

But once Xiao Hongying becomes her Jinlan sister, even if she has no official position, her status in the women's army will change imperceptibly. The female soldiers will inevitably not be criticized, thinking that Xiao Hongying was favored by virtue of her father's status in the rivers and lakes, not by her true skills.

When the women's army elected ten red sleeves, Xiao Hongying's particularity was reflected. In fact, with Xiao Hongying's personality and martial arts, there is no problem at all to become a captain. But none of the female soldiers chose her, not because of Xiao Hongying's character problems, but because of her special identity, the female soldiers tacitly believed that Xiao Hongying would be the fifth commander.

Of course, there is a reason why the women soldiers think so. Looking at the attitude of Sima Hongyan's generals towards Xiao Hongying, and if there is anything to be arranged by Xiao Hongying, I am afraid it doesn't matter whether there is an official position or not.

It is precisely because of these that although Sima Hongyan likes Xiao Hongying very much, she has never expressed to anyone the idea of recognizing her as her sister.

Today, Zhong Liying said this in public, Sima Hongyan felt embarrassed, but she couldn't tell Zhong Liying in front of so many people and Xiao Hongying, she hesitated again and again, and still couldn't make up her mind. In desperation, Sima Hongyan looked at Shi Jinyan.
