sweeping the world

Chapter 357 Sima Xingnan
Ting Wei has another name called "Eagle Dog", which has always been the sharpest knife against the bureaucracy in the hands of emperors.The common people have never been within the scope of Tingwei Mansion, and there are other institutions to manage the common people.

Huan Wen didn't like being a court lieutenant at all. What he wanted was to stay in the army, because the army was the easiest group to make meritorious service, and it had a lot to do with not wanting to offend his colleagues.

To tell the truth without falsehood, since the official position of Tingwei was created, I don’t know how many nobles and officials have been punished. Entering the prison of Tingwei’s Mansion is equivalent to being labeled as "the emperor wants you to die". It's a strange thing to be able to come out.

Anyone who is a court lieutenant will be looked at strangely by other nobles or officials, like a moose looking at a tiger. It is both fear and disgust, a natural opposition from natural enemies or food chains.

Huan Wen, who doesn't want to offend anyone, has a wife who is very easy to offend. He really couldn't restrain Sima Xingnan before. Although the clans and aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River don't take the Sima royal family seriously, how can they fall out with the princess? It's not all good.

After all, he is the next member of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he will be an official under the Sima imperial family system. I really look down on and despise the Sima imperial family, but that layer of paper has not been pierced yet. You can run away without marrying. At least keep the face of both parties.The education of the Sima royal family is very problematic. It directly inherited almost all the shortcomings of the princesses of the Western Han and Eastern Han royal families. In the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties, there were only eldest princesses, but the Sima family was almost all domineering and extremely jealous. The reason why some people ran away immediately after being arranged to marry the princess.

Uh, that's true. The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty had a long princess system. The long princess was directly a Biliehou, with fiefdoms and private property, and was able to intervene in some affairs of the royal family.The instigator was Liu Xing, the mother-in-law of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, the princess of Guantao.Those who contributed to the flames were the Queen Mother Dou Shufang and Liang Wang Liu Wu, including Emperor Han Jing Liu Qi.It was originally an unspoken rule, but later it became a practice within the system.

Sima Xingnan's appearance is actually very good. It is determined by genes. After all, as a ruler, he has the right to choose more beauties. If there are some changes, that is the direct reason why the royal family generally has a good skin.

He has a pretty face, and his figure cannot be seen from his kneeling posture. However, Sima Xingnan's temperament seems a bit strange. He should have a lot of grace, but there is a very obvious domineering inside.When she was sitting on her knees, she put her hands on her lower abdomen. Her waist looked extremely straight, and her slender neck supported her slightly tilted chin. She looked like she was facing others with her chin, even if she was facing her own. Husband.

Huan Wen was kneeling and sitting directly opposite Sima Xingnan, his hands hidden in his sleeves were constantly changing from fisting to loosening, his face looked extremely calm.

The two have been staring at each other face to face for a long time, and neither of them has spoken even a single syllable from the beginning until now.

It lasted until it was time for lunch, when an attendant quietly brought over the case tables, one for Huan Wen and one for Sima Xingnan, and then put out the necessary stoves, buckets, buckets, chan, knives, There are nearly [-] kinds of tools such as peeling, sticking, cutting, etc., and finally all kinds of food that has been cooked.

Do you need so many tableware to eat?Ordinary people, of course, have nothing to be particular about. The problem is that Sima Xingnan is a princess, and Huan Wen is from a wealthy family. Their identities and backgrounds allow them to eat like aristocrats, rather than holding a bowl in their hands. Just eat with two chopsticks or a spoon.

There is a lot of food, and most of the dry food is a small plate of small pokes. It looks good in shape, but the meat is more about big pieces. tools are similar).Soup food will not be served at the beginning. It should be cooked slowly by the servants who serve the meal with a small stove, and will not be served until the rest of the food is removed.

Hand forks and daggers are two necessary dining tools even for nobles, which are the so-called "must-haves for meat-eaters", and the interpretation of meat-eaters has always meant nobles or wealthy families.

You must know one thing deeply. In ancient times, if you wanted to pretend to be aggressive, wearing a fork and a dagger around your waist, you would definitely pretend to be invisible. If there is a jade pendant on the skirt, anyone who sees it will have to detour.But generally no one would do this, just like in modern times, no one would be covered in gold.

There was no conversation before, and it was even more impossible for Huan Wenwen and Sima Xingnan to talk during the meal.

Eating without speaking and sleeping without speaking are the most particular aspects of Confucian culture. If you do not follow these rules when eating, you will be considered as having no manners and manners. At present, Confucianism is still the dominant one.

Of course, there is not only one school of Confucianism, there are many categories in it, such as the militant school (the distinction between Hua and Yi), the revenge school (the hatred of ten generations can be avenged), the law school (Xunzi), the yin and yang school (five Virtue circulation), and many others, naturally the Luru faction that the enemy came and I surrendered is indispensable.But no matter what the faction is, they all talk about the same code, that is, to observe and respect etiquette.

After eating, the servants quietly packed away the tableware and desks.It can be seen that the servants are all well-trained, and they are also trembling when doing things.They can't be careless, servants are equivalent to animals, the master will kill them if they say so, and the two masters seem to be in a bad mood.

"This tribe is good at this. They pay attention to three meals a day." Sima Xingnan's voice sounded very gentle. She was wiping her mouth with a towel under the service of a maid and would wash her hands in a while.She looked sideways at Huan Wen with a gloomy face, and said, "It looks like husband is going to be an official here?"

By the way, the man who married the princess is not called the son-in-law now. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to appoint the son-in-law (deputy) Ma Duwei. In the Jin Dynasty, Du Yu married Princess Anlu, the daughter of Emperor Xuan of Jin, and Wang Ji married Princess Changshan, the daughter of Sima Zhao (Emperor Wen).However, no matter whether it is in the officialdom or in the private sector, it is understood that the son-in-law is not a title specially used to distinguish the emperor's son-in-law.

Consort, that is, deputy.Prince Consort Duwei, the horse in charge of the auxiliary chariot.After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the emperor's son-in-law was routinely given the title of Consort Duwei, referred to as Consort, and this title was specially used to refer to the emperor's son-in-law. Before that, Duwei was an official position.So, Sima Xingnan called Huan Wen his husband, not a son-in-law.

Huan Wen still looked at Sima Xingnan with a gloomy expression, not a single word or syllable came out of his mouth.The degree of annoyance in his heart can be judged from the force with which he cut the meat just now, that is, the metal plate was rubbed "creaky", and the teeth rubbing sound can also be heard when chewing the meat.

"Tsk?" Seeing that Huan Wen was silent, Sima Xingnan waved his hands to let the idlers back down after washing, and then said: "Speaking of which, my husband was taken captive, which is a humiliation to my husband. The anger should also be directed at him."

Huan Wen's cheeks twitched, and he couldn't help growling: "What on earth are you trying to do!"

Sima Xingnan laughed, but she still pointed her chin at Huan Wen, and said slightly mockingly: "There are rumors in the market that the man from the countryside is an aristocrat in the former Han Dynasty. Find out where you came from, this country..."

"Shut up!" Huan Wen stretched out his hand to cover his face and rubbed it several times. After putting his hand down, he seemed to have calmed down, and said, "Your Majesty has never said anything about my origin."

"Are you joking?" Sima Xingnan saw that he was very hostile to everything created by Liu Yan, and the corner of his mouth hooked up as a smile, and then said: "Without his permission, there would be such rumors in the market? There is a big joke about Liu Yuan claiming to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, he will just become the second person to make a joke."

Don't forget, the country under the rule of Sima's family emphasizes the "kindness" of princes and generals, that is to say, if a person wants to achieve something, he must have good reincarnation skills, and a pig reincarnated in a high-quality family is also To become an official, no matter how smart and talented he is, he will not have a place in the officialdom if he is reincarnated incorrectly.That is the "rank character" in the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, one looks at family background, two looks at career status, and three talents determine the product.

Huan Wen also started laughing, and Sima Xingnan stopped smiling when he smiled.

There was a flash of panic on Sima Xingnan's face, but he soon regained his composure, put on a noble look, looked directly at Huan Wen, and asked, "What does your husband want?"

"Ma'am, since Wen came here, there have been a lot of problems." Huan Wen calmly looked at Sima Xingnan, who was full of noble temperament, raised his hands in a gesture of salute, and said slowly: "What did you say?" That man, he went from having nothing to plundering dozens of counties, and there are only two complete states. That man has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he has won many battles on the battlefield. For a strong man, the wife should keep the minimum Respect."

A flustered expression appeared on Sima Xingnan's face again, and this time he couldn't erase it no matter how restrained he was, his body also subconsciously fell backwards.

"Ma'am, this place is not under the rule of the Jin Dynasty." Huan Wen tapped the wooden board on the ground and made a 'dongdong' sound: "This place will soon become the territory of the Han Dynasty."

If Huan Wen was angry, Sima Xingnan would not be afraid. She believed that she knew the man in front of her, knew that Huan Wen had a big heart, and knew Huan Wen's temper.An angry Huan Wen would only make her feel funny, and after so many things, a calm Huan Wen would make her feel bad.

"So..." Sima Xingnan was used to being domineering for a long time, and he wanted to give in, but he subconsciously raised his neck and raised his chin to the person: "Is your husband really going to serve Liu Yan wholeheartedly?"

Huan Wen only said one sentence: "Madam be careful, don't make things irreversible."

……Dividing line……

It can be regarded as laying a foreshadowing. Originally, I wanted to directly write about Huan Wen killing his wife, but it seemed too abrupt.

Also, ask for a recommendation ticket.
