And said that after the death of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, the Liang country was divided into five, the old ministers of the king of Liang have fended for themselves, Sima Xiangru left the Liang country and returned to his hometown of Bashu Linqiong (qiรณng), there is no court of the court, and will not do farm work, the natural life of poverty, Linqiong County Ling Wang Ji and Sima Xiangru are good friends, I heard that Sima Xiangru returned to his hometown from the Liang country, he came to visit Sima Xiangru, as soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by Sima Xiangru's poor living conditions, and said, "Changqing (Changqing is Sima Xiangru's alias) , You have been away from your hometown for a long time to serve as an official outside, if it is not easy here, you can go to our county government to have a look and relax. โ€

Sima Xiangru stammered and replied, "Ji ...... Brother said... Say... There are... Yes... Reason, I can ...... In order to... Go... Go and see ...... Look, but ...... No... No... Will be in the... At... County government... While... While...... Difference. โ€

"It's just my brother. โ€

So Sima Xiangru stayed in Linqiong Pavilion, Wang Ji wanted Sima Xiangru to go to the county government to do things, so he came to visit Xiangru again and again, Sima Xiangru said that he was sick, and Wang Ji respected this brother more and more.

There was a wealthy Zhuo Wangsun in Linqiong who learned that the county order had a distinguished guest who came back from the Central Plains as an official, so he wanted to make friends, so he told the county order to set up a banquet to entertain Sima Xiangru, Sima Xiangru still said that he was sick and couldn't go, and the county order Wang Ji really had no choice, and finally came to the residence of Duting Xiangru and sat next to Sima Xiangru and said: "Changqing, if you don't go to the banquet today, the official can't go, this is the richest man in the local area, if you don't give this face, it will be difficult to live in Bashu in the future." โ€

Sima Xiangru saw that he couldn't get rid of it, so he said slowly: "Both... Correct... Correct... So, brother... Elder brother... Brother, I'll follow... You... You... Take a trip, but I... I... Don't speak. โ€

Wang Ji listened to Sima Xiangru, who was stammering, and couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Okay, just play a song for Master Nazhuo, you don't need to speak, hahaha." โ€

The county commander Wang Ji and Sima Xiangru walked into Zhuo Wangsun's mansion and sat down, Zhuo Wangsun was very enthusiastic and toasted: "Today's distinguished guests come to the humble house, Peng Sheng is shining, come, the old man respects the distinguished guests with a cup." โ€

Wang Ji echoed: "Come, come, do it!"

Xiangru also smiled slightly, raised his glass and drank it all, Zhuo Wangsun saw that the distinguished guest was bold, so he shouted excitedly: "Wenjun, come out and pour wine for the distinguished guest." โ€

"No. With a light and tactful reply, a fairy-like woman floated up to the three of them, politely poured her wine, lowered her eyebrows, and when she saw the Prince Charming-like Sima Xiangru, her cheeks fluttered into crimson.

Zhuo Wang Sun said: "The little girl Wenjun has been widowed at home recently, and she is in a bad mood, so she also asks your guests to take care of her." โ€

Wang Ji said: "There, polite, polite." โ€

Sima Xiangru took a drink of the wine and said vigorously: "Come to the piano." โ€

Wang Ji immediately understood what Sima Xiangru meant, and said to Zhuo Wangsun: "Brother Sima wants to play a song for us." โ€

"Very good, very good. Zhuo Wangsun agreed with a smile.

Sima Xiangru stroked the strings and sang gently, not to mention, Sima Xiangru, who has always stammered, sang very smoothly, with the sound of the piano, the song slowly floated up: "Feng Xi Feng Xi returned to his hometown, traveled all over the world to seek his phoenix." There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines. What is the fate of the neck for the mandarin ducks, the beard and the cheeks soar together! The phoenix and the phoenix are from my habitat, and they have to be the concubine forever. Friendship and harmony of heart, who knows from the middle of the night? โ€

Zhuo Wenjun, who returned to the back room, heard the singing voice and looked at the heroic Sima Xiangru from the crack in the door, and was instantly moved by his style, demeanor and talent, and his heart was like a rabbit in his heart.

Zhuo Wangsun listened to Sima Xiangru's beautiful singing, clapped his hands, didn't he know that his daughter's heart had already been captured by the song of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

At the end of the banquet, the county commander Wang Ji and Sima Xiangru got up to say goodbye, and Zhuo Wangsun instructed a servant girl: "Send the two distinguished guests out." โ€

"No. โ€

Walking outside the gate of King Zhuo's mansion, Sima Xiangru said to the maidservant who saw him off: "Excuse me... Ask... My sister is Miss Wenjun's personal person. โ€

The maid smiled and said, "What's the matter, I take care of Miss's daily life." โ€

"Too... Too... Okay, your young lady... Widowed... Widowed, I'm like... Single... Single, Lang... Just... Just... Woman, please substitute... I... I ask you... Family... Miss Jia brought a word, Sima Xiang got her wish... Willing and miss... Long... Looks like each other, a lifetime... No... No separation. Sima Xiangru gathered enough strength to finally express his intentions.

The maidservant grinned and said, "Okay, I'll convey it for you." โ€

Zhuo Wenjun knew Sima Xiangru's love, and took advantage of the night to escape from the house and directly found Sima Xiangru's residence. Father... Will the Father be willing?"

"Although you are talented, but you are penniless, your father will definitely oppose it, Wenjun likes your temperament, and is willing to marry you, and never be separated from each other. โ€

"If so... Sincere... So. โ€

"We have to go into hiding, because my father is rich and well-connected, and if he knew about us, he would have put me under house arrest. โ€

"It seems that I... We want horses... I'm going to get out of here. Sima Xiangru didn't say goodbye to anyone, so he took Zhuo Wenjun to leave Linqiong overnight and fled to Sima Xiangru's hometown in the city of Bashu.

Zhuo Wenjun looked at the situation of Sima Xiangru's family, and after a few months with the money brought by Zhuo Wenjun, life could not continue, so he told Xiangru: "Since our relationship has become a fact, I don't think my father will do anything to us, why don't we go back to Linqiong, where I am more familiar with, we are easy to live." โ€

Sima Xiangru saw the current situation in front of him, and only nodded silently.

The husband and wife used the remaining money to buy a carriage and horses, and returned to Linqiong as a last resort, Zhuo Wangsun knew it and said angrily: "The little girl violates etiquette, for the sake of my beloved daughter, I can't bear to kill her, but I won't give her a copper plate." โ€

Zhuo Wenjun was not discouraged when he heard his father's words, but sold the carriage and horse to open a hotel, Zhuo Wenjun sold wine, Sima Xiangru and the recruited guys made wine together, and lived in Linqiong in this way.

Zhuo Wangsun was deeply ashamed after hearing this, faceless, locked himself at home all day and did not go out, Zhuo Wangsun's brother visited Zhuo Wangsun one day and said: "Brother only has one son and two daughters, and is not short of money, now Wenjun has committed himself to marrying Sima Xiangru, Sima Xiangru is poor, but the person who has been an official is also a talent, although now he is unwilling to go to other places to seek officials, but Wenjun does not also have a good home, besides, Sima Xiangru is a distinguished guest of the county order, how can you bear to embarrass him so much." โ€

Zhuo Wangsun asked inquiringly, "What do our people say?"

"That's what they all mean, only I can tell you so directly, stop being stubborn. โ€

"Well, well, listen to the advice of others, eat well. โ€

Zhuo Wangsun only gave Wen Jun a hundred slaves, a million copper coins, and sent her clothes and belongings when she got married. So, Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru both returned to the capital of Ba County, bought fields and houses, and lived a rich and happy life today.

Today, the two of them have nothing to do and sing love, look at each other affectionately, recall the past, and look at today, everything they have done is worth it.

At the end of the song, a servant hurriedly walked in and said, "Master, there is a self-proclaimed envoy outside the door who asks to see you. โ€

Sima Xiangru didn't say a word for a long time, and Zhuo Wenjun said, "The envoy from there?"

"Claiming to be Chang'an, he looked at the scepter in his hand. โ€

Sima Xiangru finally popped out of a sentence and said, "Quick... Fast... Let him... He... In. โ€

Zhuo Wenjun wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't laugh out loud, knowing that Xianggong really wanted to know the news outside of Bashu.

It turned out that Zhang Jiayang had already found the house, only to see Jiayang walking in in ragged clothes and wearing worn straw sandals, but his face was still clean, Sima Xiangru said: "This... This... Why is this dressed like this? โ€

Zhang Jiayang entered the door and said, "May I ask if it is Sima Xiangru?"

"Who are you?" said Zhuo Wenjun.

"Zhang Jiayang, the emperor's special envoy, specially invited Sima Xiangru to go to Chang'an, and the emperor is going to summon him today. โ€

"Even if it's an envoy, how can you dress like this?" Zhuo Wenjun said a little skeptically.

"Oh, Shu Road is difficult to walk, I risked my life to crawl from Shu Road, just care about safety, and I can still take care of clothes there. โ€

"What's your name?"

"Under the surname Zhang Jiayang, there is a scepter here, please don't doubt it. โ€

When Sima Xiangru heard this, he immediately kowtowed to the ground and said, "Sima Xiangru... Bow... Meet... See Special Envoy. โ€

"You're welcome, the emperor asked me to invite Xiangru into the capital. โ€ใ€

Sima Xiangru stood up and held Zhang Jiayang's hand and said, "You're... It is... That... The one who brought in the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms... Lead the people to block... Do you want to stop Tian Lubo's Zhang Jiayang? But save... Save the great... The Great Han in the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms... In... Yu is an undefeated hero. โ€

"It's like winning the award, but it's just doing Jia Yang's duty. โ€

"Oops, when... It was thunderous back then... Target... The hero, today... Today can... To be able to meet is really three... Three lives have... Yes... Luckily. โ€

Zhuo Wenjun interrupted Sima Xiangru's words and said, "Don't just talk about it, let's ask the envoy to change his clothes, the servants are ready." โ€

"Yes... Yes, special... Special Envoy please. โ€

"Thank you. Zhang Jiayang looked at his clothes again, smiled self-deprecatingly, and followed the servant to change his clothes.
