Sleeve the world, mourning melody

Sima Zi didn't stay for long, and left the meeting on the pretext of being tired.

Ling Chu and everyone bowed their knees to salute, and shouted softly, "Respectfully send off the empress."

Sima Zi walked away without saying a word.Ajiu silently kept everyone's expressions in mind, and quickly followed.

·

When Sima Zi stepped out of the mansion door supported by Fei Xue, he saw Sima Tong waiting at the door with a phoenix.

Seeing Sima Zi going out with his maid, Sima Tong cupped his hands in salute, and said loudly, "Empress Empress".

Sima Zi stepped forward to help him up, and smiled lightly, "Brother, you have been waiting for a long time." The two of them had a good understanding, and they did not want to be in such a dangerous place.

Sima Tong straightened up, nodded, and respectfully invited her to get on the sedan chair.

"Go home." Sima Zi leaned over in front of the sedan chair and ordered lightly.

This "return to the mansion" naturally went back to the scholar's mansion, Feixue told the bearer and guard in a loud voice, and the two maids, Ajiu and Ajiu, accompanied the sedan chair.

"Brother! Sister!" Sima Tong followed Sima Zi into the front yard, and Sima Yu greeted him happily.

"Sister, will such a villain make things difficult for you?" Sima Li greeted Sima Tong briefly, then left him aside, took Sima Zi's hand and looked at her carefully, and asked anxiously.

"You're worrying too much, I'm fine. It's you," Sima Zi asked with concern, "Why don't you rest more?"

"Little crazy girl." As his own brother was ignored like this, Sima Tong was full of dissatisfaction, and took advantage of the situation to laugh at his sister.

"Bad brother." Sima Yu pursed his lips and ignored him, took Sima Zi into the hall, and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine, just blow the wind on the way back to the mansion."

Seeing that he really has deep blood and affection, Sima Tong sighed helplessly and followed up.

……

Stepping into the hall, Sima Xiao stood up to greet him, and both uncle and nephew greeted each other.The whole family greeted each other a little, and Sima Xiao, who was the head of the family, waved his hands to screen off the leader.

Ajiu leaned over to leave, but was stopped by Sima Tong.

"Just now, thank you to this girl." When Sima Tong said, he cupped his hands and bowed. When he returned, he secretly observed that the only person beside the queen was this girl who walked lightly, and an expert would know that she had practiced martial arts at the first sight.

"Master Sima was joking, it's a slave's duty to take care of the empress."

Sima Zi didn't say anything, but Sima Xiao and his daughter couldn't help being curious.

Sima Yu greeted her and looked at the woman closely.And Sima Xiao asked with his hands behind his back: "Why did Tong'er say that? Is there something wrong with going to the banquet?"

"Father let me know." Sima Tong turned around and said.He glanced sideways to confirm that there was no one else in the hall, and opened his mouth to tell the story of what he had just experienced.

From being almost cheated in the city, to the princess' mansion where the brother and sister almost fell into a trap by mistake.

"No wonder I was dizzy for a while, and the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose anything, so I got better immediately on the way back." Sima Li sighed angrily, "It must be the trick of the ghost son-in-law to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

"What Li'er said is true." Sima Tong rarely echoed the younger sister's impolite words.

Sima Xiao sat back to his original position, his face as cold as frost.

"In that case, it's thanks to this sister's astuteness." Sima Yu sneaked a glance at his father, but didn't see him reprimanding him for his words and deeds, and slipped to Ajiu's side, smiling gratefully.

"Miss Sima's reputation is too high, this is a servant's job."

After talking about these few polite words, Sima Li pursed his lips, paced back and forth beside the stubborn girl, and looked at her carefully.

"Today's matter is aimed at me." Sima Zi has been silent since entering the door until now, and then said: "Uncle, brother, you don't have to worry too much. I have bothered you at the house before, and I will bear it on my own in the future." .”

On the way back, the thrilling scene when he just met his relatives kept running in his mind. Sima Zi felt withdrawn and wanted to cut off contact with his uncle's family so as to protect Sima's family.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Hearing this, the father and son turned their expressions at the same time, and even Sima Yu, who was as innocent as he was, could tell that the words were wrong. , Qiang said firmly: "We are in the same family, why is my sister so heretic? Are you an elder brother or I can't share weal and woe?"

Sima Zi's heart is pure, and what she said just felt warm, Sima Zi put his hand on his cousin's arm gently: "Of course, my sister is not belittling my brother and you, I just don't want those people to hurt you again, or hurt Sima's family in the slightest." ,"

"Sister, you don't need to worry about me. My father and elder brother will take good care of me. But my sister," Sima Li curled his lips with annoyed expression, "Sister is alone in the palace, and there are dangers everywhere, so it must be difficult."

"I'm fine, I think Yueling will come back soon, and besides, Ajiu is here."

Sima and his son swallowed their advice, because of these words, pay attention to returning to the girl's house alone.The same is true for Sima Li, who looked back at Ajiu suddenly, and saw the woman's facial features flashing in front of her eyes just before Ajiu lowered her head. people.

"Brother!" Driven by surprise, Sima Yu couldn't wait to get close to Sima Tong and shake his arm, "Look at that sister, does she look familiar?"

Sima Tong responded by looking at the woman's appearance, thought for a while and shook his head, then asked: "I don't think I've seen her before."

Sima Yu ignored him, and turned to ask his father Sima Xiao, "Daddy! Do you see Miss Ajiu familiar?"

Sima Zi was puzzled, and shifted his gaze to Sima Xiao who was frowning and thinking.

"Li'er, just tell me straight up!" Curiosity was lifted, Sima Tong couldn't bear it anymore, he leaned closer and asked the younger sister, "Who do you think that girl looks like?"

Sima Yu looked back, his eyes sparkled, "Look, brother, does that elder sister look like Meijiu in the second aunt's palace?"

"Nonsense!" Before the daughter finished speaking, Sima Xiao stood up suddenly, and scolded her in a cold voice: "You girl is getting more and more outrageous, you dare to speak nonsense about the previous court?!"

Sima Li was startled by his father's uncharacteristic rage, and stared blankly at him turning around with a flick of his sleeves.

"And you, Nian'er." Sima Xiao looked back suddenly, his expression softened a lot, "How can Xiao Qiang avoid disasters? Together we can be a family. And remember, outsiders are not allowed to talk about it at home!"

Sima Zi felt excited when he heard the words.It turned out that not only the identity of "Miss Sima", but also "Shen Nian" was kind and tolerant for the grandfather's family, Sima Zi lowered his eyes gratefully, and lightly claimed yes.

Sima Xiao nodded silently, turned into the side hall, and left there, paying attention to the young people with different expressions in the main hall.

Watching his father go away, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was much more relaxed. Sima Tong moved his hands to Sima Zi's side and asked softly: "Little girl, in your opinion, what father said about 'disaster caused Xiao Qiang' was about Princess Qinyang?"

In the present world, the first emperor left two sons and five daughters, and Princess Qinyang is Lingchu, the daughter of Sima's concubine Rong.

Taking advantage of the warmth in his heart, Sima Zi was even more grateful for his cousin's closeness. He turned his eyes to look at him, shook his head and expressed his conjecture: "I don't think the princess has ever been involved. I haven't seen my brother. Just now, during the dinner, my son was unwell, and the princess was worried. It's not fake."

Sima Tong snorted coldly, and said with a sneer: "As a cousin and sister, if she really participates in designing the two of you, I'm afraid she will be restless!"

Seeing that he didn't refute, Sima Zi calmed down a little, turned around and looked at the little cousin who was looking straight at Ajiu, and comforted her: "Li'er, uncle's words are harsh, but he is actually thinking of me, so don't think too much about it. "

Sima Yu was immersed in conjecture, without tilting his head, he nodded thoughtfully, "I know my sister."

Sima Li followed her eyes to glance at the quiet and nodding woman, and explained in a warm voice: "I'm afraid you misunderstood. Ajiu is originally from Xiaoguan, and I ran into her by chance when I was going north. She was seriously injured at that time, and then we waited all the way. gone."

What Shen Nian said was everything she knew about "Ajiu"—since she was cured by Yue Ling, Ajiu became Shen Nian's right-hand man by relying on her martial arts skills, and after that, she cultivated and established a good influence for her. net.

"Sister Ajiu is from Xiao Guan?" Sima Yu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and felt confused.

As we all know, in the past, Meijiu was originally a girl from the Li family as a dowry girl. Later, for unknown reasons, Empress Dowager Li fell out with the first emperor, and the queen was banned from Renming Palace, while Meijiu was sent to Wenqi Palace to accompany Rong Guifei. side……

Thinking back to the childhood rumors, Sima Tong also felt something was wrong, shook his head and sighed: "Li'er, it's probably because you miss your second aunt too much."

The Li family has little contact with the Xiao family, if Ah Jiu is from Xiao Guan, how could it be Mei Jiu from the Li family?

Sima Li nodded, acquiescing that he had lost his mind, turned his mind back to today's matter, and continued the previous discussion, angrily, "Sister, don't worry, we have anticipated the thief's tricks, be careful next time, and we will not teach those villains to succeed!"

Sima Tong shook his head secretly, Shi Yan's mansion was deep, and beside him were the scheming Zhao Qiusheng and Zhou Hang...how could it be as easy as his silly sister expected?

And Sima Zi, full of warmth because of the warmth of family affection, lightly held Sima Li's hand, with a smile in his eyes, "What Li'er said is, it's just you, don't worry about this right now, you should go back to the bedroom and rest It is."

When Sima Zi said this, Sima Tong couldn't help but chime in.Sima Yu couldn't resist these two, nodded obediently, greeted the maid, and went back to the bedroom first.
