Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

In the ninth year of Jian'an, the spring came earlier than in previous years. After March, there were two consecutive spring rains in the city, and the weather immediately became warmer.

Zhuhong came in with the tea set and the brewed scented tea, poured a cup of scented tea for Mrs. Zhang Tai, and said with a smile: "This is the pot of scented tea that the Lord Weng left before he left, and now there is only this one left." It's half time, and our Lord will be back soon."

Mrs. Zhang is not a refined person. She used to not like these green teas and scented teas. She thought it would be better to drink a cup of sweet honey water.

But this scented tea was left by Si Qi before he left. He said that drinking it would be good for his grandmother's health, and it was the most "beautifying and beautifying".

After Si Qi left, Zhang ordered people to take out the tea bucket from time to time to see things and think about others, and the scented tea left by Si Qi became her most frequent drink.

Before Mrs. Zhang finished drinking a cup of scented tea, Zhucui came over and reported to Mrs. Yang that Mrs. Wei Tinghou's wife Mrs. Yang had arrived.

There is a girl named Liu Qin in Weiting Hou's family, and she has the best relationship with Siqi, because of Liu Qin's relationship, Mrs. Zhang Tai is also happy to give Weiting Hou's wife Yang a face, and goes out for dinners and outings on weekdays If the time comes, I am willing to take care of her.

Mrs. Zhang Tai was thinking about her children and grandchildren, worried in her heart, and wanted to talk to someone. When she heard Yang's visit, she ordered Zhucui to invite her in.

After Mrs. Yang entered the room, she first saluted Mrs. Zhang Tai, chatted with her for a few words, and then mentioned the main purpose of her visit today.

"A while ago, I heard someone say that Mr. Cao won a great victory in Yecheng, and now he has returned to the imperial court, and he will announce it to the world after all the troops return. I don't know what to do now. You have always been well-informed. , so I came here to inquire with you, I know what to do next, and I know what to do next."

If Sikong really wins, then they have to prepare a congratulatory gift in advance and send it to Sikong's mansion another day. If it is not serious, then she will go back and tell her husband in advance that people with their tails between their legs these days, don't It is a typical case that the crime was caught by Cao Cao.

Zhang frowned and said, "I've never heard anyone mention this matter. When A Heng and A Cheng come back from the school grounds, I can call you over to ask."

After all, her son and granddaughter are not at home, so her news is not as good as her two grandchildren.

Speaking of the war in Hebei, Zhang became even more worried about Si Qi: "Where did they fight again? Ah Ying and her father went to Chengping a few years ago, will they pass through that area when they come back?" ?”

Yang Shi is Fei Tinghou's main wife, and also a lady from a scholarly family, she knows far more about these outside things than Zhang Shi.

After listening to Zhang's question, she thought about it carefully, and finally gave an affirmative answer - she probably had to pass through that area when returning to Xudu from Chengping.

Zhang Shi was taken aback.

She remembered that Liu Heng told herself before that it would take about half a month for Amei's fiefdom to travel from Xudu's side.

According to the signature of Si Qi's letter a few days ago, calculating their departure time, it has been more than a month, but there is still no news, something must have happened again.

Yang knows that Zhang is old and can't stand these things, but she has never been very smart, and her persuasive skills are not so good, so she doesn't know how to comfort her.

Mrs. Yang thought and thought, and finally persuaded Mrs. Zhang. I heard that the old lady of the Xun family donated money to rebuild a temple in the east of the city. Don't worry about getting angry at home. Why don't I accompany you to worship the Bodhisattva tomorrow? .

Now Zhang was dumbfounded: "What is a Bodhisattva?"

Mrs. Yang explained: "I heard that those are Buddhist gods who are often worshiped by Buddhist believers. I will accompany you to pay my respects."

Praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is undoubtedly a great power for the psychological comfort of the elderly. After hearing Yang's words, Mrs. Zhang regained her spirits immediately: "Okay, let's do this. I dare to kowtow to the Bodhisattva tomorrow and ask her to bless me." Ah Ying came back safe and sound."

Yang would like to remind Zhang that besides Lord Weng, King Li may also be trapped outside.But seeing the old lady's way of thinking about her granddaughter, Yang thought about it and chose to shut up.

After all, these days, the hearts of parents are crooked, and Zhang's heart is full of granddaughters, so he goes to the temple outside to ask for blessings from the Bodhisattva, and King Li also has to stay behind.

While talking, Zhu Hong happily reported that Sikong had won a great victory and returned to the court. The king came back with Sikong's army, and now the car has arrived at the main gate of Jingyuan.

Mrs. Zhang Tai got up happily, she was so happy that she couldn't stand still, and she was about to put on her coat immediately and went to the gate to pick up Siqi.

Zhucui, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Zhang: "Mrs. Tai, don't be anxious. The Lord has always been filial. After returning to Jingyuan, he will be the first to come to look for you. If you go out in the wind like this, don't say if you catch a cold. If you miss it, wouldn’t it take a while to see you again?”

Mrs. Zhang felt that what Zhucui said made sense, and after seeing Mrs. Yang off, she no longer went out to greet her, but sat down and waited quietly.

After waiting for about half an hour, Mrs. Zhang watched Liu Yun walk in in a hurry, but she was not wearing the clothes she took away before, but a rare simple and clean dress, which was similar to Liu Yunsu's. The types of clothes that Japan likes are not quite similar.

Mrs. Zhang got up, glanced at her son, and found that she didn't see her granddaughter Siqi, so she sat down disappointed.

"Where is Ah Ying? Why didn't you come back with you?"

Liu Yun didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang would react like this when he saw him. He was slightly startled, and then replied to Mrs. Zhang: "Aying just arrived at the mansion, and met someone from the Cao family, and has followed them to Sikong. House."

After Zhang's disappointment, she became puzzled again: "The Cao family sent someone to pick up Ah Ying, why?"

Liu Yun said: "Anyway, the children are older and have their own affairs outside. If you don't understand, then you don't need to ask any more."

Mrs. Zhang saw that although Liu Yun looked haggard, he was in good spirits. He was only a little thinner than when he left, but he was not injured or missing arms or legs. According to him, Si Qi should have arrived in Xuchang safely. , It's just a temporary matter, I was called away by the Cao family, there is no major problem.

Zhang felt relieved, but she didn't see Aying for the first time, and she was very disappointed. She missed Aying more and more, and wished she could go to Cao's house to see her beloved granddaughter.

But I don't know if it's because Liu Yun didn't see Si Qi, Zhang suddenly didn't want to see her son, and always felt that this middle-aged man standing here was a bit hurtful.

Mrs. Zhang waved at Liu Yun, and lazily said: "You must be tired after traveling all the way back, so you can pack up and rest by yourself, and call Ah Heng and Ah Cheng to come over to me when Ah Ying comes back. Let's have dinner."

Anyway, Ah Ying has land, but Liu Yun has no land, and Ah Ying is still so filial to her, what else does she have to talk about with Liu Yun?Anyway, the person she will really rely on in the future is her granddaughter Ah Ying, not this son.

Is this talking to drive people away?Liu Yun was stunned again.

It has to be said that ever since Ah Ying became bigger and more attractive, her status in the mansion has gradually declined, and even her biological mother has begun to look down on her...

In a courtyard in the southwest of Sikong Mansion, Du Juan opened the curtain, walked into the house, and reported to Cao Pi: "My lord, Lord Chengping is here."

Cao Pi put down the book in his hand and stood up: "Please."

Si Qi hurried in and asked Cao Pi, "Brother, why are you looking for me?"

Seeing that Si Qi came here without even changing his clothes, Cao Pi probably even went in the door as soon as he arrived at the house, and came over when he heard his invitation.Feeling a little guilty.

On that day, Cao Pi cooperated with Cao Cao to lead an army to attack the city, and Si Qi stood by according to what had been discussed before, waiting for Cao Pi to return.

Later, Cao Pi captured Yecheng, and when the squadron returned to the court, Siqi followed Cao Pi and marched to Xudu City.

On the way back to the city, he passed He'an City. Liu Yun missed King Chang, so he made a detour to look at him.

Cao Pi has always been in the first echelon of the march. When Si Qi and others left He'an, Cao Pi had already left, and the large troops led by Cao Cao, Cao Zhang and others had also returned to the city, and Si Qi and Liu Yun followed to escort the baggage at the end. Cao Ren returned to Beijing.

When Cao Pi met Yuan Xi's wife, Zhen Mi, when he broke through Yecheng, he really fell in love at first sight.

However, after Zhen Mi's sudden change, she was very resistant to this young general who robbed her, and when she heard that this person was the second son of the Cao family who was hostile to her husband's family, she became more resistant and refused to follow.

It was only later that Cao Pi learned that the son of an old friend whom Liu Yun said he rescued that day was Zhen Shu, who was also Zhen Mi's brother.In this way, he thought of Si Qi, and sent someone to Li Wang's mansion to upload a letter early in the morning, and invited the Lord to come to the mansion to talk when the Lord came.

Cao Pi did not continue to go around in circles with Si Qi, but went straight to the point and said, "To be honest, I want to ask my sister for help."

Facing Cao Pi who had saved him again and again, Si Qi's attitude was too good to be true: "Brother, it's okay to say."

Cao Pi then said that after he broke through Yecheng, he was pleased with Zhen Mi after seeing her, but Zhen Mi had resentment in her heart, and she refused to follow. Being locked in the room without eating or drinking made him very worried.

Cao Pi also said that he heard that the person Si Qi rescued was Zhen Mi's younger brother, so he wanted to ask Si Qi for help, and let Zhen Mi's younger brother persuade his sister, so that he could figure it out quickly.She couldn't go back to the Yuan family, and now there was no other way to go except with him.

Si Qi didn't expect that Cao Pibaba'er called him here for this matter.

But as far as this matter is concerned, Cao Pi has two misunderstandings.

One is that Zhen Shu is devoted to the Han Dynasty and does not agree with letting his sister become Cao Pi's concubine. If he is rashly asked to persuade him, it will only be counterproductive to Cao Pi's ultimate goal; the other is that Zhen Shu has not "submitted" now Yu himself has been thinking about leaving until now, but he reluctantly agreed to come back when he heard that Yecheng was captured and his sister was brought back to Xuchang.

After all, Zhen Shu was a patient. On the way, he heard that Yecheng was broken and his mood fluctuated greatly. Si Qi didn't even dare to let him stay longer. When Liu Yun proposed to go to He'an to find King Chang, Si Qi directly asked Tan Xin He brought a team of people to escort Zhen Shu and Chu Bai back to Beijing, where they lived in Hua Tuo's mansion to continue their treatment.

Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that this young master Zhen may not be able to recover in two months.

As far as the current situation of the two siblings is concerned, it is better not to meet each other.

Seeing her younger brother being hurt like this by Cao Jun, Zhen Mi couldn't help but feel distressed, and she would not agree to Cao Pi's request, and Zhen Shu is now emotional, thinking about the Han family and righteousness in his heart, and would not agree to come and persuade Zhen Mi to "figure it out." ".

Si Qi didn't tell Cao Pi that Zhen Shu was devoted to the Han Dynasty, but he just said that he was hurt too badly, and Zhen Mi's heart would inevitably hurt when he saw him, so it would be better to see him again after a while.

Cao Pi frowned and said, "Auntie, can you help me persuade her? It is impossible for me to let her go now. She locked herself in the room without eating or drinking. I really feel sorry for her."

Hearing Cao Pi's words, Si Qi couldn't help but asked back: "Since I love her so much, why still refuse to let Sister Zhen's family leave?"

Cao Pi also smiled, but did not speak.

But judging from his expression, Si Qi knew that he was bound to win, and would not let Zhen Mi go.
