On the second day, as soon as Love got up and cleaned up, the little girl from Luo'an Hall came to pass the word, saying that the lady had invited Love to come over.

Luo Fu was going to Mrs. Tai to intercede yesterday for Sima Chuge's matter, but she never wanted to be entangled by the Wang family, but today she saw that Mrs. Tai ordered someone to invite, she left Yu Nuan to watch the house, and hurriedly took Lantian to Luo'an Hall.

Last night, Mrs. Tai learned that Love's way to her was embarrassed by the Wang, she saw Love's busy beckoning her to sit down beside her, and asked straight to the point: "I heard that you came to me yesterday, and you were punished by the old family on the way?" ”

Love replied truthfully: "My mother-in-law did want to punish me, but when the eldest prince arrived, she didn't hurt me. ”

Mrs. Tai patted Love's hand and said distressedly: "Such a crystal-like little person is just about to suffer such a grievance, which is really distressing." ”

As soon as Mrs. Tai finished speaking, Love fell to her knees.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly helped her up and said, "Grandmother knows that you are wronged, but this daughter-in-law is like this, I will mention your mother-in-law when I go back." ”

When Love heard this, she replied in a muffled voice, "Grandmother, I am not wronged for myself. ”

Mrs. Tai's eyes moved slightly, and she said tentatively: "Then you are doing it for the sake of Ge'er?" ”

Love raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Tai, and said slowly: "Although I am not my grandmother's granddaughter, but my grandmother can really feel sorry for me, Ge'er She is your granddaughter, and the concubine begs her grandmother to take pity on her and not let her enter the palace." ”

Mrs. Tai sighed slightly and replied, "Even grandmother can't be the master of this matter. ”

Although Mrs. Tai has not asked about the world for many years, the Sima Zhengde brothers have always respected their mother, if Mrs. Tai is willing to come forward, Sima Chuge will definitely be able to escape this catastrophe.

Mrs. Tai murmured: "I remember that when the Sima family sent Yu'er into the palace, she hugged me and cried for several days, crying so much that her voice was hoarse, her eyes were swollen and I couldn't open them, and I didn't have a soft heart. ”

"Back then, Chao'er's grandfather was just an ordinary hunter before he started his family, but after a few decades, my Sima family can surpass those hundreds of years of wealthy families, and only we know the hardships best, which are all exchanged for the blood of the men of the Sima family and the tears of the women."

"Today's Sima family is above 10,000 people under one person, and it seems that the scenery is infinite, but behind this scenery is also an abyss, further is vitality, and a step back is death."

Mrs. Tai looked at Love and said slowly, "Child, can you understand?" Therefore, no matter how sorry the grandmother is for her granddaughter, she will also support the Sima family to send her to the palace. ”

Love's understanding of this is but she doesn't understand.

Their Luo family used to be a powerful family, but her parents would not ignore her happiness.

I still remember that before the Luo family was defeated, someone persuaded my father to send her beautiful to the palace to invite her to pet, but my father not only immediately blackened his face, but also refused to associate with that person again.

This is the difference between a careerist and a reader. One takes a fancy to the interests of the powerful, and for this, he can pay for his life and sacrifice family affection. One is to fancy integrity, that is, to give up his life and wealth, and he will not lose his temper and bend his waist.

After Mrs. Tai said this, she pulled Love and said, "Let's go, I'll go to the family temple to offer incense today, and you can accompany me over." ”

Although she couldn't convince Mrs. Tai, she didn't give up the idea of saving Sima Chuge in her heart, and took this opportunity to meet her aunt so that she could discuss it again.

Love accompanied the old lady out of the door, and the second door was killed, and the carriage and horses had already been prepared.

Love was just about to help the old lady into the car, when she happened to meet Sima Rui, who had returned from outside.

Sima Rui stepped forward and respectfully greeted the old lady, and the old lady smiled and said, "Aren't you busy today?" Why did you go home so early? ”

Sima Rui replied: "I knew that my grandmother was going to incense today, so I came back after finishing my important business. ”

Sima Rui is the son of the old lady's only daughter.

When Sima Chao's grandfather started his family, in order to use the power of the leader of a tribe in the grassland, he did not hesitate to marry his daughter, the leader was more than half a hundred years old, Sima Nu married less than a year after her husband died of illness, Sima Chao's grandfather took his daughter back, but Sima Nu was already pregnant, and she gave birth to a son in Sima Mansion depressed and died.

In order to make up for the debt to his daughter, Sima Chao's grandfather gave the son she gave birth to with the surname Sima Rui.

Although Sima Rui is of foreign blood, Xu is with his mother, and his appearance is not as strong as that of a grassland person, but he was born with a jade tree in the wind, with the same crown of jade, and he looks like a noble son.

Sima Rui and Sima Chao are the same age, and they have always been raised under the knees of Mrs. Tai, and in the mansion, the two brothers are the most favored by Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai looked at her grandson, her face turned into a flower, and she muttered: "Rui'er is a heart, very good, very good!" ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Tai introduced Luo Fu to him and said, "This is your second aunt's niece, and now she is Chao'er's daughter-in-law, her name is Afu, do you recognize her?" ”

Sima Rui hurriedly replied: "My cousin often came to play in the house when she was young, so I naturally recognize her. ”

As he spoke, Sima Rui bowed deeply to Love: "Cousin is polite." ”

Love is not Sima Chao's wife, Sima Rui did not call her sister-in-law or anything like that, but called her cousin, which made Love sound more pleasant.

She also simply called Sima Rui her cousin: "Cousin is polite." ”

Sima Rui helped the old lady into the car, and then helped Luo Fu to board the car, and he rode a horse to protect the car, together with a few servant women, and the group left Sima's mansion in a mighty way.

Since marrying Sima Chao, Love is still out of the house for the first time, she sat in the car, quietly lifted the corner of the curtain and glanced at the market outside.

Sima Mansion is located in the west of the city belongs to the prosperous area in Beijing, here the powerful gather, the palace is majestic, the wine shop is numerous, to get out of the west city, the vision is the ice and fire two layers of the sky, into the eye is all thatched eaves and thatched cottages, the streets and alleys are all ragged people, the bazaar is inserted with straw ropes to sell children and women is countless.

Seeing that there was a Chinese car coming, those poor and crazy hungry people, regardless of the guards' obstruction, one by one begged in the car with their dirty arms, Sima Rui saw that the guards couldn't catch up, he took out a handful of copper plates from his purse, and threw them out from a distance, and those hungry people let go of the Chinese car and rushed to grab the copper scattered on the ground.

Mrs. Tai glanced at the misery outside, she sighed slightly, and muttered to herself: "Now that the Son of Heaven has become like this, I don't know how miserable it is outside." ”

Mama Xu, who was accompanying Mrs. Tai, echoed: "I heard that the people in those villages outside are starving to death and freezing to death, and they can't even see it, it's already ten rooms and nine empty, and now the sturdy men are either in the army or going up the mountain to become bandits in order to survive." ”
