Sima Yang said, "The Holy Lord thinks, can the younger brother of the minister, Sima You, enter Miss Qin's eyes?" ”

When Sima Tao heard this, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly clapped the case and said, "It's really a good vision, why didn't I think of it!" You'er and Miss Qin, whether it is family background, character or appearance, are very compatible! ”

Sima Yang was overjoyed to see the emperor and continued, "You'er is already twenty-seven, although there are a few concubines in the mansion, but they are all ordinary concubines, they do not have a reputation in Zongzheng Temple, and they have never given birth to heirs, if Miss Qin minds, the minister will just ask him to be expelled from the mansion." For several years, the minister had been persuading him to start a family as soon as possible, so as to open up the branches of Prince Rui's lineage, but he always shirked it for several years. Previously, he had no merits in Jiangshan Sheji, and it was not easy for the ministers to ask for a lady for him, for fear that the nobles would not look down on him. Now that he has repeatedly made contributions in the two major malpractice cases, and the saint has also praised him, he should be sensible and successful, and the minister's heart has a little confidence to ask the saint for marriage. ”

Sima Tao was in a good mood, and King Ruijun and Qin Tianlin had political disputes from time to time, but both of them were ministers, and he didn't want to favor one over the other, so it was sometimes quite difficult. Now the king of Ruijun actually took the initiative to marry the Qin family, and the two will be in-laws in the future, if they can shake hands and make peace and advance and retreat together, it will be really a blessing for the country, and the blessing of the society, it is naturally more appropriate than Sima Xiu and the Qin family to be close to each other, and after a while, he promised this matter on the spot.

Sima Yang further said, "I wonder if the Holy Lord still remembers that the minister once mentioned the matter of letting You'er enter the province to study? If You'er marries the daughter of the former servant of Menxia Province, then he will naturally have some prestige in Menxia Province, and after marriage, he will be appointed as the minister of Zhengsanpin Menxia Province, I am afraid that no one will talk about it. ”

Sima Tao pondered for a while and nodded slightly, although he knew that Sima Yang was taking advantage of the opportunity, but now the balance of the court situation had tilted towards Sima Xiu and Qin Tianlin, so it was just right to rebalance Sima Yang's side by adding some yards. Besides, it is time for Menxia Province to inject some forces other than Qin Tianlin to neutralize it.

Since Qin Tianlin was transferred to Shang Shuling, the post of the provincial governor under the door was vacant, and Sima Tao could not find a person with both ability and political integrity for a while, so he could only temporarily take over the provincial affairs from the second rank of the subordinate servant, and consider it first, and if he was competent, he would be promoted. It's a pity that the servants under the door can be mediocre, not enough to make the yamen work together, and there are many errors and procrastination in affairs, so he has long wanted to transfer a capable person into the province to reorganize the government.

Sima Yang had recommended Sima You before, but Sima Tao considered that he was still young and did not have much qualifications to serve in the province, so he was afraid that he would not be able to do it by virtue of his royal status alone, so he put it on hold. If he can become Qin Tianlin's son-in-law, relying on the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, it will naturally be a different matter.

As soon as the holy decree was issued, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and everyone did not expect that the two powerful ministers above the court would have the day when they would be in-laws. The wedding date is set for the beginning of next month, and Sima Tao hopes that Sima You can be seen attending the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet with his family, and the preparation time is only about half a month. Due to the tight schedule, Sima Yang also entrusted Sima Xunian to help.

The affairs of the Ministry of Officials and the Five Supervisors of the Nine Temples were already busy, and Sima Xunian had to help Sima You prepare for the wedding, and he was busy almost every day until dark before returning home. Sima You ignores his wedding, drunk and dreams every day, and the court is also a sleepy-eyed and depressed look, the emperor only thinks that he is angry, does not want to get married, does not want to be controlled, most of the prodigal sons have this heart before the wedding, and do not do what he thinks, in the last four or five days, simply decreed that he was given a vacation, until five days after the marriage, exempted from twelve days. Sima You was even more indulgent, and even drunk to death in the Chang'an Teaching Department every day, and the Teaching Department didn't dare to do anything to him, so he could only let him mess around.

Sima You's absurd things in the Teaching Workshop Division reached Qin Shuying's ears one after another, Qin Tianlin was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so he sent a few old ladies in the house to take turns to stare at her, and her personal maid Xiao Tao never left her side. Who knew that Qin Shuying didn't cry or make trouble, he ate and slept as usual, but he didn't laugh or make a sound, as if he had lost his soul.

Although Qin Tianlin was surprised by the emperor's arrangement, he didn't object much, because he knew that even if his daughter didn't marry Sima You, sooner or later she would be used by Qin Guifei and Qin Shuyun as a powerful trade. Although he is his father, he also shoulders the rise and fall of the Qin clan, so he naturally cannot oppose it. Now marrying Sima You as a wife is better than being Sima Xiu's side room or being a wife room for those gentlemen.

What is even more unhappy than Sima You is probably Qin Guifei and Qin Shuyun, who thought it was an arrangement that was easy to obtain, but was intercepted by Sima Yang, and also gave Sima You a good future. Especially Qin Shuyun, originally both of them were from Zhongshu Province from Sanpin to participate in political affairs, but now Sima You has climbed one level higher than him, and he has entered the lower province, and his father has run a relationship circle for half his life, maybe he will be easily pried away and emptied, and he can't get any of it, so he scolds and scolds in the house, and he is very unhappy.

Sima Xiu really likes Qin Shuying, but Qin Shuying was still young when he got married, so naturally he couldn't ask his father for this family business. Now Qin Guifei actually offered to marry her to him as a side room, of course, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said on the spot that she would serve Guifei for life like her own mother. When Qin Guifei asked him to ask his father for someone, he thought that Qin Guifei had already paved the way for him, and he could just make a ceremony by himself, and he didn't want to turn around Sima Tao so he married Qin Shuying to Sima You, not only did he not get someone, but he may also affect his impression in the emperor's heart, so he was very depressed and had a dislike with Qin Guifei.

In the blink of an eye, on the eve of the wedding, everyone has been worried that something will happen to Sima You or Qin Shuying, and they are worried every day, and if they don't want to come, there will still be a problem......

On the eve of the wedding, the people in Sima You's mansion suddenly found that the groom's official was gone, and they were going to greet the bride, but there was no one in the middle of the night, and they didn't dare to rashly alarm Sima Yang, so they didn't know what to do, so they hurriedly ran to Sima Xunian's mansion and asked for help.

Sima Xunian thought that the overall situation had been decided and that he could sleep well tonight, but not long after falling asleep, there was a rapid knock at the door, mixed with a voice of anxiety, "My lord? Madam? ”

Sima Xunian has been busy lately, sleeping heavily, and he didn't hear it. Shen Jiyue heard it, got up in her clothes, opened the door and asked what was the matter.

"Madam, it's no good, Lord Sima You's housekeeper came to report that Lord Sima You is gone!"

Shen Jiyue was also taken aback when she heard this, it seemed that she had to wake up Sima Xunian, and then immediately instructed Mingxin to call Yiming to prepare the horse, and by the way, the servants and guards in the house were called up, in case Sima Xunian wanted to use it.

After Mingxin went to run errands, she lit the candlestick, put it on the table, then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, gently woke Sima Xunian, and said, "Xunian, get up quickly, Sima You is gone." ”

Sima Xunian had just fallen asleep, and when he heard Shen Jiyue calling him, he thought that Shen Jiyue had a nightmare, so he grabbed her little hand and patted his cheek, didn't open his eyes, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Sleep ...... good."

Shen Jiyue really couldn't cry or laugh, so she only leaned down and kissed him on the cheek, and then said in his ear, "Master Sima, hurry up, the other Lord Sima is gone." ”

When Sima Xunian heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Jiyue intently.

Shen Jiyue nodded at him, and after he was sure that Shen Jiyue was not joking with him, he immediately jumped up. Shen Jiyue had already prepared light clothes for him, and after waiting for him to put them on, he hurried out.

Shen Jiyue also lost her sleepiness, freshened up and went to the vestibule hall with Mingxin to wait for news. Almost all the men in the house went out, and only a few janitors remained. Sima Xunian also sent two guards from the palace to guard the door of the hall to protect Shen Jiyue's master and servant.

In the blink of an eye, the ugly hour was approaching, and there were a few rooster crows outside the house, and Mingxin couldn't resist the bursts of sleepiness that came to him, and fell asleep on the table. Shen Jiyue, who has always been quiet, was also a little anxious at this time, leaning in front of the hall door and looking forward, looking forward to it, but there was still no news of Sima Xunian. She had no choice but to go back into the hall and paced back and forth.

Shen Jiyue looked at it again, the time had come, and she was anxious, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, she thought that Sima Xunian was back, so she hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Xunian, are you back?" Find ......", I wanted to ask if I had found someone, but before the words fell, I found that the person who came was not Sima Xunian, but Sima You, who had been missing for half a night!

"Sima You?!" Shen Jiyue was surprised and delighted when she saw that it was him, and hurriedly walked out of the hall, invited him into the hall, and said, "Lord Sima You, where have you been?" It's almost time, and I went out to find you for almost two hours, and I haven't come back yet! After speaking, he ordered the guards at the door not to guard her, and to go and report the letter to Sima Xu. As he spoke, he poured tea for Sima You.

As soon as Shen Jiyue touched the teapot, the tea was cold, and she turned around and wanted to ask the little maid at the door to make a new pot. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he was suddenly stepped forward by Sima You and hugged him tightly.

Shen Jiyue was startled, her hands instinctively pressed against his waist, and asked, "Sima You, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sima You didn't make a sound, but hugged him tighter and tighter, and he didn't want to let go.

Shen Jiyue felt that this was inappropriate, so she pushed him, but he hugged him tightly and didn't move, so she could only continue, "If you have something to say, I'll call someone if you do this again......"

Sima You interrupted her and said, "You shout, it's best to let everyone in Chang'an City know that I don't want to marry Qin Shuying!" ”

Shen Jiyue knew what he thought about her, and she also knew his temper, but it was really inappropriate for the two of them to do this, not to mention, if Sima Xunian saw it, he didn't know what to do. So, the hand she placed on his waist began to push him away with a hard force. After pushing it away, Shen Jiyue tidied up her clothes and looked at him slightly annoyed.

Sima You knew that he was reckless, his lips moved, and he wanted to reach out to comb her slightly messy hair. Before the hand stretched out, Shen Jiyue hurriedly took two steps back. Seeing this, he put his hand down and muttered, "If it was me who found you beforehand, would you be my wife......

Shen Jiyue said, "There is no if in the world, if there is really an if, if the father of the young man was not killed by a traitor, I believe that the two of us would have married us a long time ago." He doesn't have to be upside down, bloody on the battlefield, and suffer so much......"

After hearing this, Sima You felt a pang in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he would find Shen Jiyue at such a time, talk to her, and tell her about the pain of missing......

Sima You silently turned around, walked out of the hall, and said as he walked, "Inform Sima Xunian that I will go to Shang Shuling's mansion on time to greet my relatives." ”
