The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

For Sima Yi, she is safe for the time being.As the price she paid, she had to suffer a little bit more staring for the time being. Sima Fang was very dissatisfied with the collusion between her and Guo Jia. On the day she went to give a trial lecture to Cao Pi, the Sikong Mansion sent a car to pick it up. Sima Fang was in the study. Furious, Sima Yi knelt on the ground silently, listening to Sima Fang scolding her to act on her own without a father or a king.What Sima Yi thought was that it would not be a disadvantage to suffer a few scoldings now. Anyway, Sima Fang couldn't hold him all the time, and Cao Pi was still waiting there.

Guo Jia ignored Sima Fang's dissatisfaction at all. The only thing she had to take care of was the face between old friends Cao Cao and Sima Fang.When Sima Yi finished class on the first day, Guo Jia came down to see Cao Cao under the guidance of Guo Jia. It is suggested that he should not give Sima Yi any title, just to be a teacher, Bai Yi.Sima Fang doesn't want Sima Yi to be famous, so don't let Sima Yi become an official. It's a simple employment relationship, so Sima Fang has no opinion.

Cao Cao didn't express anything else when he saw Sima Yi. It's not that he has never met Sima Yi, so he just said a few polite words.

Sima Yi knew that he had saved his life for the time being, but the rift between her and Sima Fang deepened. It was really like a vicious circle. Sima Yi decided to hold on to the three lines of Cao Pi, Guo Jia, and Mrs. Zhang. She can live without any danger.

So Sima Yi taught Cao Pi for a long time in the ordinary.The essence of this process is still very interesting. It is an anecdote that Cao Pi can persist for such a long time without changing his husband since Kaimeng. When Cao Cao inspected Cao Pi's homework, he also spoke highly of Sima Yi, far above Sima Fu.But he also discovered: Sima Yi taught everything from economics to politics, including scheming and intrigue. He was not teaching leaders or executors.

He is teaching the emperor.

This discovery gave Cao Cao mixed joy and sorrow, especially when he learned that Cao Pi voluntarily asked to learn these things.

Cao Cao decided to take it one step at a time, but he didn't tell anyone about it.

Cao Pi relied more and more on Sima Yi every day, but Cao Cao didn't realize this.I can’t blame him for being a father who neglected his duties. He was too busy, and he only stared at Cao Ang before, so he couldn’t devote much energy to other children. Cao Pi was 11 years old, and he was too early to bring fun to his parents. It's not as good as Cao Zhi's advantage.Cao Pi's mother, Bian, used to be a kabuki and lived in the shadow of Mrs. Ding. Although she was favored, Cao Cao didn't do her any favors. Strictly speaking, her four sons would not recognize her as their mother, but took her Mrs. Ding regards her as her own mother, so she dare not show any kindness to the child—she is not worthy, so this common situation makes everyone ignore the fact that this child Cao Pi is quite lacking in love.

At this time, someone can come to see him every day, rain or shine, accompany him, patiently answer his questions, have snacks with him, have lunch and write books... Cao Pi's mood can be imagined.He even wanted to show off in front of Cao Zhi several times that he also has a husband, and his husband is still very good-looking. Among the regular customers of Sikong Mansion, he can be ranked third including Xun Lingjun and Guo Jijiu, but he still held back after all, Cao Zhi He is so young, he can't understand this kind of emotion at all, and besides, it's nothing to show off, maybe he will be laughed at by Sima Fu, hey, aren't Sima Yi and Sima Fu blood brothers?It feels like the two are very different in every way.

Occasionally, the Sikong Mansion would arrange tea parties for the Cao brothers and their husbands, with no tea but wine.Putting a few mats in the gazebo, sitting opposite each other and drinking, served with salted green plums is also a momentary elegance, but Cao Pi doesn't like this kind of tea party very much, because Sima Lang will also come to participate, and Sima Lang never pays attention to Sima Yi's salute, even brothers For example, he once described Sima Yi's face as "like an eagle and like a wolf". In short, he was either a man or a beast. When Cao Pi was angry, Sima Yi drank calmly and handed Cao Pi a cup of tea. A piece of fruit, and then said, "What the elder brother said is true."Sima Fu was not respectful to Sima Yi, the second elder brother, and he was always sloppy in etiquette, but he didn't dare to go along with Sima Lang openly on this occasion. Sima Yi occasionally glanced at him, and he could freeze there.Cao Pi has always wondered why the relationship between the brothers of the Sima family is so weird.

In the second year of Jian'an, there were a lot of things to do, and there was no idle time anywhere.Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei were fighting everywhere, and the fighting was a mess. Guo Jia and the others were so busy this year that they spent a lot of time on expeditions or patrols. The hustle and bustle outside does not affect this place at all. Sima Yi has nothing to do to teach Cao Pi. After class, he writes, paints, plays chess and tastes wine. Thinking, the time spent in Sikong Mansion is getting longer and longer every day, wishing to have two meals a day and even supper here.Cao Pi often looked at Sima Yi's hands in a daze. When those hands were rubbing ink and holding chopsticks, time always passed quickly. Cao Pi thought that if it continued like this, it might not be a bad thing.

At the end of the year, Sima Yi asked Cao Cao for leave. She was very reluctant, but all the gentlemen would ask for leave. If she didn't follow, it would arouse suspicion. It was the Chinese New Year, and everyone had to go back to their homes to celebrate the New Year.Cao Cao said a few words of comfort as usual, rewarded him with gold and silk, and sent someone to send Sima Yi back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the door, someone came to invite him, saying that Zhang Maocai was here, and Sima Fang ordered Sima Yi to come to see him.

Sima Yi didn't dare to be negligent. After changing his clothes, he came to the main hall. In addition to seeing the parents in the main seat, he saw two middle-aged men and women who he didn't know in the guest seats. They were dressed in plain clothes, but they were also accompanied by two servants.In the back, a little girl of small stature, wearing a bun and wearing a moon-white lotus-pattern jacket with gold strokes, kneeling with her head bowed, unable to see her face clearly.

Mrs. Zhang smiled, and said to Sima Yi: "Yi'er, this is my uncle's family, please pay your respects quickly."

Only then did Sima Yi realize that this was Mrs. Zhang's younger brother's family.

After the ceremony, Sima Yi took his seat, feeling a little uncomfortable. Mrs. Zhang's younger brothers and sisters have been scrutinizing her since she came in. They are really... quite suspected of being a human trafficker.

Sima Fang didn't speak all the time, but he was obviously upset, and he didn't even look at Sima Yi.

Maybe it was enough looking, Zhang Maocai said to the girl behind him: "Chunhua, I have seen you brother."

The girl responded and stepped forward to salute, but Sima Yi couldn't hear what she said, and now she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Zhang Chunhua!

Sima Yi probably knew what these people were doing here today, but she would rather not know!

After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Mao began to talk about the business. Although the words were elegant and sophisticated, Sima Yi still understood the general meaning. He said that he hadn't seen his sister and brother-in-law for a long time since Luoyang parted, and he was very concerned. The family came to see, By the way, I plan to settle down in Xudu. Zhang Chunhua is also ten years old, and I seldom meet my brothers. This time, I will follow along to get to know each other.She is staying in her boudoir, looking for a good relationship, and plans to find her a blabla in Xudu.

The previous words are all nonsense, but the last sentence is the point.

Sima Fang frowned: If that's the case, then I'll meet all my brothers. Why did you only say you wanted to see Sima Yi?

Zhang Maocai and his wife looked at each other in embarrassment: in fact, Zhang Chunhua insisted on it himself, saying that he heard that Sima Yi was talented and well behaved, especially in chess, and he was familiar with Guo Jijiu, so he had admired him for a long time and wanted to meet him.

That being the case, his brother and sister have already met, and his wife and brother have been exhausted all the way, so they will arrange a room to stay in first, and we will discuss things tomorrow.

After Sima Fang made a final decision, Zhang Maocai couldn't say anything more. He already had the intention of defecting, so naturally he could do whatever he wanted.

Sima Yi also went back to the room, lying on the couch tossing and turning, feeling unsteady, he simply got up and stopped a passing maid, asking her to bring a plate of cakes, but she couldn't sleep for the time being, thinking about Zhang Maocai gave her a headache.

"Knock, knock, knock" knocked lightly on the door, and someone said outside, "Second Young Master, here are the pancakes." Sima Yi responded, "Come in and put it on the table." She didn't pay much attention.

The maid put a plate of mustard cakes on the table, then stood in the room and did not leave. Sima Yi was restless, and met such a sightless person again, so she lifted the curtain and wanted to reprimand him, but when she saw the person coming stunned.

It's Zhang Chunhua.

After Sima Yi reacted, he walked over in two or three steps, took Zhang Chunhua's hand and pulled it out: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night! Go away! If people see me, I can't explain it clearly!"

Zhang Chunhua was not panicked at all, she shook off Sima Yi's hand forcefully: "I'm not afraid, why are you afraid of it! This time my parents came here for marriage, I want to marry you, why doubt it!"

Sima Yi was so startled by Zhang Chunhua's words that she couldn't say anything for a while. She had never seen a young girl who had never left the cabinet opened her mouth "I" and closed her mouth "Ru". He made a public proposal in person!

After a while Sima Yi asked, "How old are you this year?"

Zhang Chunhua replied confidently: "Nine years old!"

Sima Yi felt that his world view was about to collapse: "Do you know how old I am?"

"I know, nineteen!" Zhang Chunhua said naturally.

"I'm ten years older than you! You're still so young!"

"Pfft!" Zhang Chunhua laughed, "It turns out that you are entangled because of this! What is this! I was worried that you would refuse the marriage because you are a woman, but now it seems that I am worrying too much!"

Sima Yi gasped, there were a lot of things that ruined Sanguan today, and she really couldn't get used to it for a while.

"You know that I am a woman and you want to marry me? You are only nine years old, do you know what marriage is?"

"Marriage is living together. I serve you, serve your parents, reconcile your family, help you achieve success, accompany you to bed or recommend others to your bed, give birth to you, watch other people give birth to you, take care of children, To be a good wife and mother—of course, if I marry you, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to be a good mother."

Today's thunder came one after another, Sima Yi wondered if it was winter after all.

"I can't figure it out more and more. You know everything, and you still want to marry me on your own initiative. What are you greedy for!"

"Then what do you think Zhang Yan is after?" Zhang Chunhua gave Sima a wink, but the latter didn't dare to answer it. The wink from a 9-year-old girl is not ordinary.

"If you're talking about Empress Xiaohui first, then she died at the age of 36. If you only want to live another 27 years, I can do it for you." Sima Yi's tone began to turn bad.

"Who would think that life is too long? I said I married you because I believe that you will eventually become emperor, and I want to be queen!"

After hearing Zhang Chunhua's words, Sima Yi grabbed her by the neck: "Presumptuous! Are you trying to usurp us by saying this? If I send you to the government right now, you know what the consequences will be!"

"You go... you go and sue... and see who... will take it seriously..." Zhang Chunhua was so stuck that he struggled to speak, but his attitude was still nonchalant.

Sima Yi felt that Zhang Chunhua's behavior was beyond his expectations. What kind of environment did this child grow up in? He was only nine years old. How could he say such a series of inexplicable and incredible words!Of course she would not really strangle Zhang Chunhua to death, at most she would frighten her, so she gradually let go of her hand.

"I know you're not the real Sima Yi." Zhang Chunhua started to fire again once he was free, "I also know that you are in a difficult situation in Sima's house, don't you want an ally? I can help you and be your backing, of course I'm not asking for nothing, I said, I want to be a queen."

"I thank you for your kindness, but I cannot promise you your conditions."

"You?" Zhang Chunhua simply sat on the bed in the ground, "Do you have pity for Emperor Han or the Cao family?"

Sima Yi was sure that he began to hate this little girl with amazing words, but she still didn't dare to offend her. This little girl seemed to know everything, and she held the handle to destroy him!From this point of view, forming an alliance with her seemed like a good idea. After forming an alliance, if she wanted to expose something, she would have to worry about harming herself.In other words, after forming an alliance, the handle belongs to both sides, not Sima Yi's side.However, this little girl's condition... Sima Yi really dare not agree to it. With the degree of madness of this little girl, if the condition is not met, she may do any terrible things.

After weighing it over and over again, Sima Yi decided that he would rather refuse her: "I dare not agree to your conditions. I will not marry this marriage."

Zhang Chunhua stood up unhurriedly: "What's the hurry? I didn't set a time for you. Right now, as long as you agree to marry me, we will be considered a formal alliance. As for my condition, whether it can be fulfilled depends on myself. If it really can't be realized, then I can only blame my lack of foresight. Who told me to marry you? Hey, you see that I am so sincere, so don't push back. If you are still so cautious, you will be in a hurry Leave me alone, I'll just expose your identity in public! I don't care about my aunt's face!"

Sima Yi absolutely believed that she could do such a thing. After much deliberation, she could only agree: "I agree, but parents' orders are the most important. If my parents don't agree, you don't want to blame me for it." superior."

Zhang Chunhua laughed happily, and his voice was clear like a string of silver bells: "Okay! You don't have to worry about this, then, I'll go to bed first, see you tomorrow, brother two!"

Looking at Zhang Chunhua's young back, Sima Yi felt that he was starting to have a headache again: "Why do you insist on finding me? There are so many sons in the Sima family, except that Sima Lang is already married, you have at least six choices. Sima Fu is the same age as you. I am similar, have a bright future, and are well-known in literature, why do you have to find me!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Chunhua opened the door disdainfully, "Those people are also worthy of me, Zhang Chunhua?"

The author has something to say:

According to those who have read the full text, their favorite characters are all Zhang Chunhua~ This character is also the one that the author vigorously criticizes and absolutely dislikes!You can't just like her just because she makes Sima Yi happy!This only shows that the wicked have their own way!

The historical records of Sima Yi's mother are unknown... The reason why Mrs. Zhang was invented is entirely to save the need to explain why Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua got married. Think about it, if Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua are not related at all, then the author has to go back to the eighteenth year of his ancestors. Or delve into the intricate relationship between aristocratic families and nobles in the Han Dynasty to find the reasons for their acquaintance and marriage...or write in detail how their childhood sweethearts finally got married, which takes up too much space.

There are different opinions on the age of Zhang Chunhua and Sima Yi when they got married, and the author chose the time that is most convenient for him to make up the story.

In addition, Zhang Chunhua also has foreshadowing.
