The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Cao Pi had a lot to say to Sima Yi, but Cao Cao had ordered a car to take Sima Yi's family back.

Cao Pi grabbed Sima Yi's hand through the window: "Zhongda..."

Sima Yi gently brushed off his hand: "I'll come tonight."

Zhang Chunhua, who was holding Sima Zhao in the car, gave Sima Yi a resentful look.

Sima Yi looked at Master Sima who was bandaging his forehead, and gently helped him straighten his messy hair.Master Sima didn't ask anything, he just looked at Sima Yi with wide, dark eyes that were as bright as stars.

Speechless all the way.

When they got home, they handed over the two children to the maidservant, who should be recuperated, and those who should be put to sleep.In the two-person world of Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua, Sima Yi told Zhang Chunhua the whole story.

Zhang Chunhua reacted very strongly: "You want to marry Cao Pi!"

Sima Yi didn't speak, and poured himself a sip of water to drink. He walked a lot today and didn't have a chance to drink.

"Speak!" Zhang Chunhua's voice was surprisingly high-pitched.

Sima Yi poured another sip of water, turned around and handed it to Zhang Chunhua: "After howling for a long time, can you still stand it? Drink some water and take it easy."

Zhang Chunhua looked at the water, then at Sima Yi: "Tell me! What are you thinking!"

"The prime minister gave me two ways. If I don't marry Cao Pi, should I marry the prime minister?"

"No! I don't allow it!" Zhang Chunhua raised his hand and knocked over the wooden scorpion in Sima Yi's hand, "How can my husband, Zhang Chunhua, be someone else's wife! Then what am I! What am I! There are also Ashi and Azhao , I have worked so hard to raise him to such an adult, how can I become someone else's son with just a word!"

Sima Yi felt that she couldn't understand Zhang Chunhua, but she hadn't understood this woman from the first day: "You were the one who insisted on getting married, and I told you that I was a woman and not a man. When Cao Zihuan came to the house as a guest One time—I remember that you were behind the scenes, right? Why, you could bear it at that time, but you can bear it in the past few years, but now you can’t bear it? What did you do earlier? "

Zhang Chunhua raised her brows slightly, neither humble nor overbearing: "It's different! I am your first wife, I can tolerate you sleeping in other people's beds, having other people's children, and I can even tolerate you taking concubines in the future! But I can't tolerate you marrying other people ! You can only be my husband, and you can only have my wife. I don’t want to be the laughing stock of others!”

Sima Yi looked at the woman: "I don't know why." She stood up and was about to go out.

Zhang Chunhua rushed over like crazy and blocked the door: "Where are you going!"

"It has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."

"You are going to Cao Pi, right! I heard it all! We have an agreement! I can bear anything, but I cannot allow you to humiliate me so unscrupulously! You must stay at home at night! You promised! This is My rights!"

"Make an exception today, can't you?" Sima Yi pushed Zhang Chunhua away, "Get out of the way! Don't make mistakes!"

Zhang Chunhua staggered from being pushed, but she rushed back and grabbed Sima Yi's left arm: "You can't go anywhere! Don't even try to walk! Don't even think about..."

Sima Yi stretched out his right hand and opened the door to call for someone. Several maidservants came. Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the crazy Zhang Chunhua: "Ma'am is too tired today, please make sure Ma'am is resting in the room and serve you carefully. I heard ?"

The maidservants agreed and came up, while persuading the "madam", they broke Zhang Chunhua's grip on Sima Yi and dragged her away.

"Sima Yi, don't go! You are not allowed to go! You..."

Sima Yi ignored it, and looked back at Zhang Chunhua before going out: "Madam, what did you just say? You can bear with me taking a concubine, right?"

"Sima Yi! You..."

The car had already been prepared outside, and after Sima Yi got into the car, he only said three words to the driver: "Go to the posthouse."

Guo Yong, the former governor of South County, brought his second daughter, Guo Xu, and had been waiting there for a long time.Although Guo Xu's name is plain, her character can be described as ingenious: Queen.

The night is already deep.

Cao Pi was still asleep.Before Sima Yi came, he had been waiting, but after Sima Yi came, he simply didn't plan to sleep.

Even though all the oil lamps on the shelf were lit, the light today was not very good. Cao Pi and Sima Yi said nothing to each other before sitting in the case under such a dim light.

The temperature is always low at night, so Sima Yi tightened the coat he was wearing, and looked up at Cao Pi—still in deep thought, not feeling how cold it was—and finally spoke first: "Everything is clear, what are you going to do in the future?" manage?"

"No plan, I'm still waiting for my father to deal with me."

"In fact, he already has an opinion on how to deal with it. But he didn't tell you, but told me."

"What is it?" Cao Pi couldn't wait to know, since Cao Cao refused to see him or listen to his explanation since the afternoon.

"Either marry you, or marry the prime minister."

Sima Yi spoke quickly, and Cao Pi felt a little unable to keep up: "...my father...how could...suggest this?"

"Because this is not a multiple-choice question at all. In fact, he just asked me to marry you. The other choice exists only to set off this decision. He knows that I will definitely not choose, so he can only marry you."

"That's not bad, Zhongda, my father still has good intentions. We get married and bring back Shi'er and Zhao'er. After that, I will hire a foreigner, and the family will live in other places, away from the right and wrong of Xudu. Land, do you like it?" Cao Pi said earnestly.

"Stay away from Xudu? You don't want to be the heir of the prime minister? The position has not been finalized yet."

Cao Pi felt sad when he said this. He lowered his head and said for a long time: "I have let my father down. He will never choose me as his heir again. This time... I behaved...too bad... ..."

"Yeah, it's too bad," Sima Yi nodded approvingly, "acted recklessly, without thinking... What did you think at the time? Why didn't you want to beg for mercy after you've settled down? You have no plans and rules, forcing everyone to I have to tell the truth about the matter, and there is no room for change." Sima Yi criticized without mercy.

"At that time... I didn't have time to think about it too much. I heard that Ziyu's people reported that you might be beheaded... I was in a hurry... I didn't have time to think so much, I just knew that the sooner I saw my father, the better. , I'm really scared... I'm afraid that if I'm a moment and a half late, they will send your head in... I don't dare to think about that scene at all..."

Sima Yi sighed, walked up to Cao Pi, and hugged him in his arms: "Okay, let's not talk about it, we have all suffered a lot of shocks today. The prime minister must be dissatisfied with you, but don't be so desperate, there are still opportunities , you are not the only one who disappointed the prime minister this time, other people will make mistakes too."

"No, that's different." When it came to this question, Cao Pi became a little depressed, "Do you know, Zhongda? My dad finally asked me a question."

"what?"

"He asked me, if I had to choose between the heir and you, which one would I count?"

"How did you answer?"

It took Cao Pi a long time to say softly: "I chose you..."

Sima Yi had nothing to say for a while, the two hugged each other quietly for a while, Sima Yi also asked softly: "Do you regret it?"

"...I don't know." Cao Pi said, "Now that I think about it, I have some regrets. But, I will regret whichever I choose. Think about it carefully, I chose you, and it seems that it doesn't matter if I can't be the heir, at least for now. I can still live well; but if I don't choose you and cause you to die, I will definitely go crazy on the spot..."

"So, because of the prime minister's question, you feel hopeless?"

"My father didn't like me very much. My mother...Zijian is also her own son! She may not support me. I haven't done anything to live up to me, so what hope can I have... Zhong Da, you return to your daughter's body, we will move far away to live our own lives after we get married, this is the best! What do you think?"

Sima Yi didn't say "yes", but he didn't say "no".

"Zhongda?"

Sima Yi finally spoke: "What about Zhang Chunhua?"

"Uh?"

"What about Ashi and Azhao's identity? What about my father and my mother? Although there are few old friends in Xudu, it is not that there are no one. The son who has been raised for 30 years suddenly becomes a daughter. How to explain to others? Sima Anyway, they are also a famous family in Hanoi, how can they afford to lose this person? And how do you explain the matter of the Zhen family? If anyone knows that the Zhen family gave birth to a daughter, the late Guo Jijiu will be involved , how do you plan to end it?"

Sima Yi's series of questions confused Cao Pi, and he said after a long time, "Then Zhong Day, what do you think?"

"The best thing to do is to maintain the status quo."

"It's impossible! What my father said can't be taken back so easily!"

"That's why I came here." Sima Yi slowly pushed Cao Pi away, raised his hand and struck three times in succession.

Cao Pi was dumbfounded when he saw someone leading a middle-aged man and a woman who was no longer a girl, but still wore a girl's "flying girl looking at the fairy bun" into the room.When the man and woman saw Cao Pi, they bowed down and saluted.

"Zhong Da, this is..."

Sima Yi pointed to the man in the straight moon-white dress with closely woven patterns: "This was the governor of Nanjun, Guo Yong." Then he pointed to the richly dressed woman behind Guo Yong and said, "This is the second daughter of the prefect Guo. Xu, the word queen."

"I've heard of Guo Taishou's name, but..." Cao Pi didn't understand what he was doing.

Guo Yong said: "I have admired the name of Mr. Pi for a long time. I have a daughter who is unworthy. She is old and unmarried. I only wish to be in front of Mr. Pi in my life. So I bring this daughter here. I don't know if you will accept it?"

It turned out that he was here to sell his daughter.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi, who had a calm expression on his face. "What do you mean Zhongda?"

"The daughter of Guo Taishou, she is extraordinary in beauty and wisdom, worthy of serving as a son."

"Okay, then I'll take it." Cao Pi was quite happy.

"Mr. Xie Pi!" The father and daughter kowtowed together.Guo Yong asked again: "My little girl has quite a dowry. I don't know when I will send it together with my little girl?"

"Guo Taishou made a mistake. What I said just now is 'accepting', not 'marrying', take a concubine, what dowry do you need, leave him today." Now, everyone recognized Cao Pi There is impatience and reluctance in the tone.

Guo Yong wanted to say something, but Guo Xu held his father back and motioned him not to speak. "What Young Master Pi said is very true, it should be so."

Then there was a chill.Cao Pi looked at Guo Yong: "Guo Taishou still has something to do? If there is nothing to do, Ling Ai has already stayed. Please go back."

"Uh..." Guo Yong looked at his daughter with some embarrassment, and got up to leave.

As soon as Guo Yong left, Cao Pi completely exposed his dissatisfaction. He said to Guo Xu, "Look up."

Guo Xu raised his head obediently.

Cao Pi was very upset: "I'm going to be [-] this year, what kind of girl are you?"

"The concubine is 29 years old." Guo Xu smiled, and was not dissatisfied with Cao Pi's words.

"Who told you to dress up like this? The heavy makeup is so ugly."

Guo Xu bowed again: "Since Mr. Pi has spoken, this concubine is going to change her makeup."

"Who allowed you to call me that? You can call me by my name too?"

"Yes, my concubine made a slip of the tongue. The man with five senses will appease my anger. I will go change clothes now."

After Guo Xu went down, Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi: "You are too much. Although Guo Yong is no longer the prefect of Nanjun, he has such a reputation after all. You have to save him some face."

"Nanjun is now in the hands of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. What kind of Nanjun prefect is he? Even the 'former' Nanjun prefect is Zhou Yu, not him! Anyway, Zhou Yu, the Nanjun prefect, was appointed by His Majesty himself! He is just a captured The lost dog who lost his territory, now wants to send his daughter to climb up again! Incompetent!" Cao Pi's anger all day seemed to find an outlet in Guo Yong.

"If you are angry today, don't take the Guo family's father and daughter to vent. Guo Yong will not talk about it. He is too old and can't do big things. What do you think of Guo Xu?"

"Hmph," Cao Pi sneered, "don't say she is a 29-year-old unmarried old woman, even if she is 19 years old, she is at best average-looking. She thinks that she is outstanding in appearance compared to other people, don't forget , I also have a Zhen Shi who is as beautiful as a fairy here, how beautiful is she than Zhen Shi? Anyone who has seen Zhen Shi can't forget her beauty, and there are many such examples around me."

"Did you drink too much again? And let her show up in front of others? You just want to humiliate her, so you should change the method. Last time, the prime minister cut her off because someone looked up at her—you don't think there are enough dead ministers." ? Then who would dare to support you?"

Cao Pi sneered: "My father is reluctant to cut this man."

"Let's not gossip, the person has already arrived, you can figure it out." Sima Yi stood up and wanted to leave.

"I still don't understand, why did you send her here? This woman has no merits, and I don't like her at all!"

"Her advantage is that she is smart. Treat her well, and she will help you become the heir to the prime minister."

Cao Pi was surprised: "I said it's impossible! Zhong Da, didn't you understand? There is only one way in front of us: get married, and then fly away!"

"It's not that simple! You can't be the heir alone. Similarly, you can't be the heir alone. The successor of the prime minister is not just a matter of your brothers, but also involves all the officials in the court. Why do you support each other? One faction? Because everyone is looking forward to the success of the side they support to gain benefits for themselves! Now you say you don’t want to quit, what will you do with the people around you? Will Jia Wenhe agree? Will Wu Jizhong agree? You can’t Give up, you don't have the right to give up!"

"It's okay if you don't give up, then there's no need to give me a woman! Isn't it the same to have you by my side?"

Sima Yi bent down and looked at Cao Pi: "Why don't you understand yet. I can't marry you. I continue to be an official as a man, just to increase the power of your faction."

"But my father..."

"The reason why the prime minister wants to kill me is that Guo Jijiu's letter is just a fuse, and Guo Jijiu's letter did not say that he wants to kill me. The real reason why the prime minister wants to kill me is that I am entangled with you The prime minister is afraid that I will control your decision and threaten your power in the future. So as long as you dote on your wife and stop looking for me, the prime minister will be lenient. Marriage does not have to be carried out. This is left to Jia Wenhe Well, he has a way."

"So, you mean..." Cao Pi had a bad feeling.

Sima Yi straightened up: "From now on, we will cut off all contact except for business! Don't come to me again, and I won't come here again!"

Cao Pi stared blankly at Sima Yi waving his sleeves and leaving without any nostalgia.

Guo Xu, who had changed into a train embroidered with silver thread and repainted light makeup, came to see Cao Pi again at this time: "I greet the general of the five senses."

Cao Pi finally came back to his senses, he only glanced at Guo Xu, he raised his hand and threw out the roll of bamboo slips on the case: "My father strictly forbids the servants of the family to wear gold and silver, how dare you wear this kind of clothes?" ! Are you trying to kill me?"

Guo Xu, who was hit a bit, still smiled: "I don't know about this. Since the man with five senses will not like it, I will go to change my makeup."

When Guo Xu knelt in front of Cao Pi for the third time, he was already completely barefaced, with only two silver hairpins and silver hairpins pinned in his hair, and he was wearing a plain moon-white skirt.

"You dress so plainly, do you expect my family to die? Get lost!"

"Don't get angry, the general of the five senses, the concubine will change it later."

Guo Xu changed into a dark brown high-necked dark coat with a dark red skirt underneath, and simply put powder on his face, and then came to see Cao Pi again.

Cao Pi didn't even have to look her in the eye: "Didn't you hear me telling you to get out?"

Guo Xu didn't argue, she did what Cao Pi said, and was about to retreat, but Cao Pi suddenly stopped her: "Wait."

Guo Xu returned to the original place.

Cao Pi sized her up carefully, then walked into the house, rummaged through it for a long time, took out a set of clothes and threw them in front of Guo Xu: "Put on."

Guo Xu recognized that it was a set of civil official court clothes.She hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't ask anything, went down silently to change, and then returned to Cao Pi again.

Cao Pi looked at her and nodded: "This is a bit similar."

Guo Xu didn't ask who he looked like.

"Personality...at least you can bear it."

The author has something to say:

After writing this section, I kept thinking in my mind whether "the eyes that are black and bright like stars" is a bad sentence, is it a bad sentence...@[email protected]Who will tell me?

The Queen Guo in this article is worthy of sympathy. She does not have the beauty of the Zhen family, but only has a smart mind. Flowers come—bah, I got the wrong script, what kind of flowers are blooming, I am trying my best to please Cao Pi.

So women still have to have their own careers to be happy. You see, these few people who traveled through the past lived more chicly as men.
