Chapter Fifty-Eight: Unhappy Breakup
"Candy people, sugar people......"
"Steamed buns~, freshly baked steamed buns, auntie, how many do you have?"
β¦β¦
After looking around the private room for a week, Sima Yi sat down, and as soon as he opened the window, the shouting of the street filled his ears.
He said with emotion: "Being in the downtown can also get rid of the noise of the outside world and enjoy a peaceful place, this full building really lives up to its reputation as the No. 1 restaurant in Kyoto." β
As soon as the words fell, the tea mist on the table rose, "There is wind and rain everywhere in his building, and my family is safe." β
Turning his gaze at the person opposite, Sima Yi said meaningfully: "The little niece's words can't help but be a little indifferent. β
"Is the third uncle cold?" Xiao Huang disagreed, "If the world can't sweep the snow in front of their house, how can they let go of lending the broom to others?" β
"I thought that the little niece would help the third uncle sweep." Sima Yi raised his glass and sipped, his gaze grim.
But in just a second, he had an uninhibited smile on his face, "The price list of the full building is not cheap, how could the little niece invite the third uncle here today, didn't she make a windfall?" β
The closest restaurant to the General's Mansion is the full building, is it possible that she is still willing to seek the near and far?
Glancing at the extremely teasing face on the other side, Xiao Huangwu took a sip of tea, "The third uncle said that he laughed, if it was an ordinary tavern, I am afraid that it would be an insult to the identity of the third uncle." β
Hehe, this girl doesn't know whose temperament she has, but she doesn't suffer a loss.
Sima Yi was stunned, and then changed the topic and said, "By the way, why don't you see Miss Xiaoxiang, isn't she always inseparable from you?" β
"Even if it's a shadow, it disappears sometimes, doesn't it?" Xiao Huang said, and put down the window wood easily, and the prosperity of the market was also cut off.
Glancing at the tiny dots of light that were blocked on the window paper due to her movements, the corners of Sima Yi's lips hooked slightly, "Just because it disappears doesn't mean it doesn't exist." β
"What the third uncle said is very reasonable, it just so happens that Xiao Huang has a puzzled question and wants to ask the third uncle for advice."
"Teaching this kind of thing, the third uncle is not good at it, the little niece should go to your uncle." Sima Yi suggested with a serious face.
"The third uncle is too modest, the uncle is not good at this problem, only the third uncle can solve it." Xiao Huang said with a cold face: "What's more, isn't the third uncle happy to see the answer come true?" β
The latter was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Haha, it turns out that the little niece knows the third uncle so well, it seems that I will have another soulmate in the future." β
"The third uncle praised it falsely, Xiao'er didn't know you that well." Xiao Huang's words changed, "It's like an invitation to the Hibiscus Flower Club, I can't understand the deep meaning of the third uncle." β
After the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, compared to the daughters of those famous ministers, she is definitely not welcome, Xia Yujie took over the Hibiscus Flower Party for the first time, how could she invite her to mix among them and find herself unhappy?
However, she received an invitation to the flower party with the prince's seal, and it was from her father......
So, how many people can make the prince of a country change his mind?
Originally, she was deeply suspicious of the invitation, until the day before yesterday he brought Jimo Haoxuan to Xiaoxiang Pavilion......
She thought that Sima Yi, the only eldest cousin in the royal feather generation, might be one of the few people.
In addition, as his father's sworn third brother, he handed it over by himself, which would only make his father more assured that she would go to the hibiscus flower party and not interfere in this matter.
Seeing Xiao Huang coldly, Sima Yi rubbed a strand of hanging hair on his chest, and sneered: "Well, the third uncle just went to remind the prince and asked him not to miss my lovely little niece." β
"The third uncle is so frank, why don't you just say that it's because of Jimo Haoxuan?" Xiao Huang had a light smile on his face, but his eyes were as black as ink, and there was no trace of a smile.
"In other words, the third uncle is worried that someone will be unfavorable to him, but it is inconvenient for you to make a move, so he had to use me to make an upright humanoid meat shield."
"Utilization?" Sima Yi's face sank when he heard this, "In your heart, is it a despicable thing to protect Xuan'er?" β
Xiao Huang also erased the edges and corners of his lips, and said-for-tat: "The event has no attributes, what I care about is the way." β
Although she has no sister-brother affection for Jimo Haoxuan, Xiao Huang knows that she can't care less about his life and deathβat least not now, not only because he is her nominal brother, but also because his surname is "Jimo".
"As long as Xuan'er is safe, how can you talk about it?"
Sima Yi's words brought back Xiao Huang's thoughts, and she asked directly: "Then why did the third uncle inform me of his imprisonment for the fourteenth prince in the first place?" β
Speaking of this, she said sarcastically: "And it was through the person in the palace who was inserted into the general's mansion on the surface...... Xiao Er had just entered Kyoto at that time, and the third uncle wouldn't have expected me to save him, right? β
Sima Yi pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course not, I didn't expect you to do anything at that time, it's just that something like that happened in Xuan'er, and the third uncle felt that he should also let his little niece know, but I didn't expect ......"
"I didn't expect that in the end, I would unveil the emperor's list, enter the Guan Ju Palace, and save the fourteenth prince." Xiao Huang interrupted him and took over with an expressionless face.
"Yes, you know how to heal, and it happens to be good, but it's a pity that the second brother didn't mention it at the beginning." Lifting the lid of the cup, Sima Yi took a sip, the mist was hazy, and his expression was unknown.
Raising his eyes, there was a different kind of light in his eyes, "The little nephew saved Xuan'er, which is an unexpected harvest for the third uncle." β
Putting aside his gaze, Xiao Huang said lightly: "I know how to heal, but my father and mother don't know." β
"Really?" Sima Yi muttered softly, obviously not believing.
For a long time, neither of them spoke, their eyes fell on the gradually darkening point of light on the window lattice, and Xiao Huang said without turning his head: "The third uncle took me to the academy of the bachelor's mansion that time, and it was the same purpose?" β
"Huh, purpose?" Sima Yi chuckled, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory, and said unhurriedly: "That year, the sky was full of snow, the sea was windy, Xia Yu was like a frozen ice city, the people couldn't plow the fields, the land couldn't be planted, and almost all the stored grain at home was eaten, but even so, many people still starved to death and froze to death.
It was also at that time when people's livelihood was declining, but there were frequent good news at the border, and the documents sent back quickly seemed to have ignited piles of endless fires in Kyoto, warming the hearts of people all over the world.
When he met Xuan'er, he was in a corner outside the imperial city, climbing the palace wall more than ten times higher than him, wearing a good silk jacket, but it was dirty as if rolling in a quag of mud, over and over again, falling and getting up, tirelessly trying. β
"Do you know why Xuan'er insists like that?" Sima Yi said to himself: "I don't understand, so I asked him at the time, I only remember that Xuan'er was very happy to say to me at that time......"
β¦β¦
"I heard someone on the street shouting General Xiaoyong, but the horse ran too fast, Xuan'er couldn't catch up, my grandfather said, my father is General Xiaoyong, can you take me to him?"
Under the palace wall, the little man's eyes were shining, and he looked at the person in front of him with a look of hope, but he was a stranger.
Sima Yi squatted down, took out a silk step and wiped the dirty little face in front of him, he was very gentle, but also full of apologies and said: "Third uncle...... Can't take you there. β
"Why? Didn't you say you were Xuan'er's third uncle? Then you must have seen my father, why don't you take me to him? The little man grabbed his sleeve, and the tears rolled down instantly......
Pulling away from his memory, he said with some excitement: "The snow that day covered every corner of Kyoto City, Xuan'er was tired of crying and tired, so she stood quietly in front of the snow wall, too stubborn, but unbearable and desperate.
Looking at his longing gaze, how could I bear to give him an ethereal fantasy? Yes, I am indeed his third uncle, but I am also just an outsider, what can I do for him? β
Sima Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If it weren't for the patrol guards discovering him, or if he hadn't been clamoring to find his father, maybe I wouldn't remember by now, the second brother only took one child away......"
"So what?" Xiao Huang'e frowned deeply, and interrupted: "What the third uncle did was to let me know his hardships? To make me feel guilty and guilty? Even so, what can Mo Haoxuan's past change? β
"You are the child of a mother, but when Xuan'er was suffering, you were protected by them." Sima Yi said with a little harshness: "The same parents, you can enjoy their double love, but Xuan'er has to suffer from the desolation of orphans, do you think, is this fair?" β
"What does the third uncle want me to do? Stay by his side from now on, protect him, and repay the family affection he has lost in the past ten years? β
Xiao Huang skimmed off his usual gentleness, and said without pretense: "What he lacks, only his father and mother can give it, and the third uncle is looking for me, which is superfluous." β
"Superfluous?" After calming down for a while, Sima Yi smiled, "Maybe, but, Xuan'er should have a share of Chenghuan's rights under his parents' knees, shouldn't he?" β
"Regarding this, I think the third uncle is mistaken, although I don't know what happened back then, but now it is he who turns the other party away, not the general's mansion."
"Because of this, you should do something to mend the rift between them, after ten years of lonely life, Xuan'er's heart has already become extremely sensitive, he ......"
"Regarding the matter of Jimo Haoxuan, I believe that my father and mother will be more interested than me, and the third uncle should confide in them, not me." Xiao Huang stood up without hesitation, and when the words fell, she Shi Ran left, her footsteps were heavy, firm and indifferent.
Seeing this, Sima Yi was stunned, and shook his head with a smile, "The little niece is really ruthless, but what can the third uncle do?" The pain of being abandoned again, Xuan'er ...... Unaffordable. β
That kid just wants to have a home where he can feel warmth, so I chose you for him, the only one in the world who has never abandoned his family......
