Early the next morning, Ban Lingruo got up early, too lazy to go back to Hongling's Garden, so he freshened up in Sima Hongyan's house. It wasn't until Qinghan brought breakfast into the house that Ban Lingruo called Sima Hongyan up.

After the two of them finished eating, Ban Lingruo sorted out the dozens of pieces of paper recorded yesterday in his hand, and said, "I'll go back and tidy it up today, and I'll give you a neat one another day." ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Don't worry! We have to take our time with a lot of things, it's a serious matter for us to look for a few helpers first, and if there is no one to help, we can't play it. ”

"Helper?" Ban Lingruo said: "Do you have a favorite candidate?" I don't have many friends in the capital, and I don't have anyone who I think is suitable! ”

Sima Hongyan squinted his eyes and said, "Am I more than anyone else?" But don't worry, someone is coming to us today! ”

Ban Lingruo said: "You say poetry? She is so good and arrogant, the first talented woman in Yanling! I don't think it's likely. ”

Sima Hongyan smiled: "We'll know when she comes!" ”

As a result, Shi Jinyan didn't come, Shi Jinyan and her father came!

When the people reported that Shi Hanhai Shishang had come, Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo were shocked.

Sima Hongyan thought secretly: "This old man is the one who takes the lead in looking down on women. Today, the small ones didn't come, but the old ones came, and it is estimated that there are no good words. ”

Hard-headed and Ban Lingruo came out to greet him, but he didn't expect Shi Hanhai to bring only one entourage, in light car and casual clothes, and walked in in a very low-key manner.

After saluting politely, Shi Hanhai was welcomed into the hall.

Sima Hongyan asked straight to the point: "Lord Shi suddenly came to visit today, I don't know what happened?" ”

Shi Hanhai saw that her attitude was not very enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "What? Are you still angry with the old man about the day of the palace test? ”

Sima Hongyan said lightly: "Don't dare!" ”

Shi Hanhai didn't care, and still said with a smile: "Miss Sima, since you don't welcome the old man, I'll just say it." How sure are you about the formation of the women's army? ”

Unexpectedly, Shi Hanhai asked about the women's army, Sima Hongyan thought for a moment and said: "After all, this idea has just been tried, so I can't say that I am not sure of it." How? Is poet-sama interested in the affairs of the female army? ”

Shi Hanhai didn't answer, and said: "After Jin Yan came back yesterday, she told me that she wanted to participate in the preparation of the women's army, and she had great expectations for this matter. The old man wanted to stop her, but I thought about it again and again, and I thought it would be better to meet you! ”

Sima Hongyan didn't hide it either, and said, "Lord Shi, I know that you are a little prejudiced against women. It also feels like I'm whimsical. Never mind! After all, it's normal for people to not be easy to accept something that no one has ever done. However, what I want to say is that those who can achieve great things are those who dare to do what no one else can do. Although I am a daughter, I am full of ambition and will never lose to a man. Since you adults can't accept a woman's career, I'm going to make it for you to see. I can understand that you are worried about your daughter and that she will not do her job. But if you try to persuade me to give up, you're going to be disappointed. ”

Shi Hanhai smiled: "Miss Sima, don't get me wrong, I never thought of trying to persuade you to give up, on the contrary, I want to know how determined you are to do this." ”

This was quite unexpected, Sima Hongyan asked: "During the palace exam yesterday, didn't you mean that women should wait to get married, have children, and live the days of husband and child?" ”

"Yes, even now the old man still thinks this way!" Shi Hanhai said: "But Jin Yan asked me a question, but I couldn't answer, so I decided to come to see you today." ”

Sima Hongyan said: "What are you talking about?" ”

Shi Hanhai twisted his beard and said: "I ask you, if what you say can really become the truth and help me Yanling become the strongest in the Five Kingdoms, but because of our stubbornness, Yanling is in a crisis, then how should we, the courtiers of Yanling, deal with ourselves?" ”

Sima Hongyan nodded and said, "Miss Shi is indeed long-sighted, and this question is very courageous!" ”

Shi Hanhai said: "She really hesitated to ask the old man. So Miss Sima, maybe Jin Yan has gambled her life to help you do this, and the old man still hopes to get some answers from you. ”

Sima Hongyan glanced at Ban Lingruo and said, "Lord Shi, I can only say that if there is the help of Miss Shi, our chances of success will be greater. ”

Shi Hanhai stared at Sima Hongyan's eyes for a long time. Nodding his head, he said, "Maybe the will of heaven is like this, manpower is unstoppable." As he spoke, he shouted outside the door: "Jin Yan, come in!" ”

Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo looked out the door, and Shi Jinyan was walking slowly and slowly.

Shi Hanhai said to Sima Hongyan: "The old man doesn't support this matter, but he doesn't oppose it either. It's just that you don't let Jin Yan be wronged, and do the rest of the things according to your ability! With that, he turned and walked out. Sima Hongyan was busy and Ban Lingruo sent them out of the house.

When Lord Shi left, the two returned to the hall, and Shi Jinyan sat quietly like that, waiting for the two of them.

Sima Hongyan looked at Ban Lingruo, Ban Lingruo looked at Sima Hongyan, and the two of them didn't know how to deal with this cold Miss Shier.

On the contrary, Shi Jinyan opened her mouth first and said: "Since I came, I am interested in the affairs of the women's army. Since Miss Sima dares others to dare not, she must have her own ideas. I'm listening, Miss Sima, can you explain it to me? ”

She spoke slowly, spoke clearly, looked flat, and behaved elegantly, which was diametrically opposed to Sima Hongyan's big grin. She sat in the hall as if the entire Sima Mansion was out of place with her.

Sima Hongyan felt awkward, and his body felt very uncomfortable. In particular, Shi Jinyan's soft tone made her feel as if the air around her was a little cold. It's as if Shi Jinyan is the honorable master here!

Sima Hongyan doesn't like this faction, if Ban Ling is the daughter of a military general, she also has that kind of reckless atmosphere. So when you get along, you will quickly lose your temper. But this poem is elegant and elegant, and there is a momentum of inviolability between nature.

Sima Hongyan thought secretly: "Hey! Come to me and pose for it! She lifted her skirt, sat next to Shi Jinyan very casually, and asked with a smile: "Miss Shi, have you been talking like this?" Aren't you tired of holding on like this? ”

Shi Jinyan's brows moved slightly, and she still said quietly: "Since I was a child, my father's discipline has been strict, starting from the first sentence, that's it!" ”

Sima Hongyan sighed and said, "Since Miss Shi just said that she is interested in building a women's army, I don't know what you think?" ”

Sima Hongyan threw the question back, and Shi Jinyan felt that she was a little ridiculous, so she said: "The idea was put forward by Miss Sima, and the emperor also sealed Miss Sima the official position for this, and Miss Sima is already in charge of this matter." How can you ask me what I think? ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then may I ask Miss Shi, you are known as the first talented woman in Yanling, I don't know how much you know about military construction?" And how much of your talent can be helpful to the female army? ”

Shi Jinyan suddenly turned her head, looked at Sima Hongyan for a long time with watery eyes, and then said, "Does Miss Sima doubt that I don't have the ability to help you?" ”

Sima Hongyan replied without hesitation: "Yes! The army is not a concert troupe, which can be built by knowing musical notation. The poet girl is a beautiful, delicate and elegant woman, I really can't think of why I would be interested in the women's army! ”

Sima Hongyan's directness did not embarrass Shi Jinyan, but she was even more curious about this woman who was full of rumors. Shi Jinyan smiled and said softly: "Then Miss Sima can test me, depending on the talent you need, I will or not!" ”

This poem is really not simple, she deliberately provoked her! If this eldest lady was the kind of person who was pampered, she would have been angry and left. But she didn't get angry, and replied with a smile, not cramped at all.

Sima Hongyan and Shi Jinyan secretly compete! Ban Ling on the side was so nervous that she couldn't do it, although the two of them were smiling, they were arguing with each other, and no one would let anyone. One is sharp-tongued, and the other is always answered. She couldn't understand how these two people were so full of taste as soon as they met.
