Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Thinking of Ma Chao resisting him so much, but letting Ma Teng go so easily, Cao Cao felt very upset, and still gritted his teeth at Si Qi, saying, "If it wasn't for Ah Ying, you begged, I would definitely not let them go this time. Although this time The net spared Ma Teng's life, but he was still guilty of a crime, so he couldn't just let him go back, let alone hand it over to Ma Chao. Wouldn't that be too cheap for them?"

After all, according to Cao Cao's character, it was not easy for Cao Cao to agree to give in and spare Ma Teng's life.

Si Qi followed him and asked: "Then according to the Prime Minister's opinion, what is the best way to deal with this matter?"

"Then send it to Chengzhou and let you take care of it." It's not appropriate for Ma Teng to stay in Yecheng. Cao Cao was very annoyed when he thought of this man, "Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Ma Chao, Liu Zhang, these people really don't have any worries. Yes, Gu trusts you most now, Ah Ying."

Ma Teng is a hot potato now, Cao Cao gave her the resettlement right, and Si Qi immediately began to worry about how to resettle Ma Teng and his family.

But no matter what, Cao Cao was already saving face. Even though Si Qi felt embarrassed, he still complied happily.

Knowing that Zhen Shu followed Si Qi back to Yecheng, Zhen Mi sent someone to visit Si Qi in Prince Li's mansion, saying that he wanted to take his younger brother back to stay for a few days, so that Zhen Shu could get closer to his nephew Cao Rui.

Si Qi knew that Zhen Mi was paving the way for Zhen Shu, so he naturally said hello to the visitor, and prepared a few gifts for Zhen Shu to bring to his sister and nephews.

Zhen Shu stayed in Jingzhou for more than two years. After seeing his sister, he found out that Zhen Mi was pregnant and was about to give birth. Cao Pi went to Qiao County half a month ago and did not know when he would be able to return.

Zhen Shu frowned when he heard this: "Has he gone out to work for the prime minister again? But you are about to give birth..."

Zhen Mi was afraid that her younger brother would have a bad opinion of Cao Pi, so she hurriedly explained for her husband: "He is highly valued by the prime minister, so it is inevitable that he will be busy..."

Zhen Shu pouted.

In the past, it was Cao Pi who fell in love with sister, and wanted to marry her no matter what.Now it's Cao Pi's enthusiasm that is starting to fade, but my sister is more and more concerned about his dependence on him, and will always protect him, and she doesn't even allow others to say a bad word about Cao Pi.

This made him feel a little puzzled.

Feelings are really a very mysterious thing, even if you read the whole beginning, you may not be able to guess the ending.

Seeing that Zhen Mi was already in trouble, Zhen Shu knew that it was useless to say what he said, so he could only tell his elder sister not to only care about Cao Pi for everything, but to think more about himself.

Zhen Mi didn't seem to take Zhen Shu's words too seriously, but when it came to the topic of feelings, Zhen Mi remembered something again, and said to Zhen Shu: "I saw a few young ladies a few days ago, no matter their family background or character, they are all very good. Okay, you are not too young, I will invite them to my house tomorrow, so you can choose carefully, too?"

Now she is Cao Pi's official wife, and since Cao Chong passed away, Cao Cao is obviously the most optimistic about Cao Pi, and intends to make him his future heir, and even Zhen Mi and the Zhen family are also rising. Even though the Zhen family has declined, there are still many families. The rich family is willing to marry their daughter to her younger brother Zhen Shu.

Zhen Shu said that he had no intention of getting married yet, so he asked his sister not to worry about his marriage for the time being.

Zhen Mi sighed, and said: "You stay with the Lord Weng all day long, so naturally you don't like the girl next to you. How does the Lord Weng treat you on weekdays?"

Zhen Shu said: "Master Weng treats me very well."

Zhen Mi said: "Then what do you think is special about Master Weng's treatment of you?"

If Wengzhu's wife and husband-in-law haven't decided on a candidate, he can ask Cao Pi to help Zhen Shu mention it.

Cao Pi is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life. Every year, he purchases a large amount of supplies from Siqi and sends them to Cao Cao and his brothers. He is a major customer of Siqi, and the two have always maintained a good relationship.

Although it's a bit high for Zhen Shu to propose marriage to Mrs. Weng, but if the two already have a relationship foundation, it's not impossible at all.

Zhen Shu said: "There is nothing special about it. Everyone in Chengping performs their duties, but Zuo is the same as her other subordinates."

Zhen Mi asked again, "Now the master's husband has a suitable candidate?"

Zhen Shu's face darkened, and he said: "Mrs. Xun, the Lord's mother, likes Sun Shao, the nephew of General Jiangdong Sun, and King Li likes Zijian, the prime minister's son. Ma Chao of Xiliang has always been very kind to Lord Weng. Zhou Buyi I can chat with Weng Master the most, and Weng Master himself seems to like General Zhao from Jingzhou very much. Besides, there are many descendants from aristocratic families who want to marry Weng Master..."

I heard that when he was in Ye City, King Li spent a large part of his time dealing with various people who proposed marriage.

Zhen Mi asked curiously, "Then who is the Lord Weng best friends with?"

"I can't say that." Zhen Shu said, "But it seems that the Lord Weng likes Cai Yan the most now, and he wants to eat and live with her every day."

Zhen Mi: ...

If you want to monopolize the Lord, there are really many people who need to be defeated. It sounds so difficult!

Zhen Shu came back from living in the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a month and came to report to Si Qi.

Si Qi asked Zhen Shu how he lived in Zhen Mi's place. Zhen Shudao was not used to it, and felt that it would be better and more comfortable to live in Wangfu and Chengping after all.

Si Qi counted and found that Zhen Shu's time away from Chengping was not too short, so he planned to let him go back to Chengping one step earlier, return to his school post earlier, and pass on the skills he learned in Jingzhou to the students.

The social animal Zhen Shu reluctantly agreed, turned around and went back to the room, preparing to pack up and go to Chengping one step ahead of time, leaving Si Qi with a desolate back.

The news from Ma Chao was well-informed, and about a month later, Si Qi received a letter of thanks from Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's letter was sent to Chengzhou first, and then sent over by Chen Xingtao in his own letter.

Si Qi felt that Ma Chao was generally a careful person, and at this sensitive time, he thought of using such a method because he was afraid of causing trouble by writing directly to himself.

This thank you letter from Ma Chao is very long, and it is written with a lot of sincerity. Where the love is strong, the running script has changed to cursive script, and it is very long and eloquent.

Liu Yun was still stationed in Jingzhou and did not come back. Si Qi lived alone, and felt that the house was empty and big, so he took Cai Wenji to the palace, and the two lived and ate together.

Liu Yun is not at home, Siqi wants to support the family, and replace Liu Yun and Zhang's in various occasions, attending banquets and gatherings (this is really painful), and even Cao Cao sometimes invites her to go over to replace Liu Yun Yun's position, helping to deal with some matters of the clan.

Cao Cao's counselors are all Elder Siqi, and they always like to tease her when they see her come to participate in the discussion.

This day, after discussing things together and returning home, Cai Wenji had already arranged hot soup and hot meals for her.

During the period of living with Cai Wenji, Cai Wenji's guild helped Siqi tidy up the library, arranged breakfast and dinner for Siqi, made her clothes according to the weather changes, bought seasonal fruits, and even took care of Liu Yun's small garden in order. The flowers grown are prettier than when Liu Yun was around.

Si Qi felt like raising a conch girl at home, and lived a very happy life.

Cai Wenji is not only good at housekeeping, but also remembers the contents of the books and ancient books in her previous home. After she silently wrote the contents of those ancient books for Cao Cao, she also transcribed a copy for Si Qi, which is worth ten thousand gold.

In addition, Si Qi discovered that Cai Wenji also repaired an antique incense burner at home, which was very exquisite.

Si Qi only found out after asking Cai Wenji that she was very good at these things.

Si Qi found some damaged antique ornaments from Liu Yun, and Cai Wenji bought materials to help restore them, and explained the principles, dynasties, patterns, etc. one by one.

Seeing Cai Wenji's talent in repairing cultural relics, Si Qi admired her even more. Being able to have such skills and insights is beyond the standard of a top student at Peking University's School of Culture and Museum.

A few days later, after Siqi had dealt with many matters in Yecheng, he took away the Ma family who had been imprisoned by him for many days from Cao Cao, and took them to Chengzhou to take care of them.

Ma Teng also knew that he was able to come out alive this time, thanks to Si Qi who dealt with Cao Cao in it, and Ma Teng couldn't help being curious: "Cao Cao is vicious and treacherous, and he is by no means a good talker. Why did the Lord take the risk? Save me at the risk of offending Cao Cao?"

Si Qi said that he and his son Ma Chao used to be tacit allies.

When Ma Teng heard this, he became energetic. He asked Si Qi if he could help, and advised Chao'er to put someone who knows the cold and the hot by his side. The main wife should be chosen slowly. In the side room, it would be good to give birth to a doll.

Si Qi hesitated for a moment, and politely refused to Ma Teng—our cooperation level does not include this, and I personally think that these things are better for you as a father.

Ma Teng showed disappointment in his eyes: "Well, that's the only way to go."

After talking about Ma Chao, Ma Teng and Si Qi turned their heads and talked about Liu Yun: "I have always admired your father, and I have never seen him since Jian'an nine years ago. Did you see him?"

Si Qi said: "Father is now ordered to be stationed in Jingzhou, and when he finishes his work, he will come to Chengping to have a look."

After hearing Ma Teng's words, Si Qi felt very curious: "What do you admire about my father?"

Ma Teng said: "When I was in Xuchang, I had a relationship with your father, His Royal Highness King Li. At that poetry meeting, I was made things difficult by several descendants of aristocratic families, and it was he who acted out of righteousness and helped me out. King Li Your Highness is elegant, upright, full of knowledge and methodical, and has always been the object of my admiration. Ever since I met him once in Xuchang City, I will never forget him."

Si Qi felt that what Ma Teng said didn't sound like he was talking about Liu Yun. If the other party hadn't said "His Royal Highness Li Wang", Si Qi would have thought that the person described by the other party was Zhuge Liang.

This should be the time when Liu Yun is closest to his idol.

Speaking of Liu Yun, Ma Teng couldn't stop talking. He saw that Si Qi hadn't answered, so he continued: "Although His Royal Highness Li Wang is the uncle of the emperor, he is humble and has no airs towards me. .”

Si Qi didn't think that a prince with a false name would have any airs in front of the real power in Liangzhou.

But even so, looking at Ma Teng's yearning expression, Si Qi still felt that Ma Teng had just experienced many setbacks and had been confined by Cao Cao for so many days. hit him.

Si Qi smiled at Ma Teng and said, "You are too praised. I will definitely convey your evaluation to my father. I think he will be very happy to hear your praise of him."
