Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

After busying herself with chores at home, Siqi prepared her schoolbag early the next morning and drove to Guo Jia's home for class.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Guo Yi has grown a lot bigger than before, and he has the appearance of a mature boy in his eyes.

Guo Jia still had a social meeting today, so he went out to socialize after class according to the plan written in the lesson plan today.

Guo Jia is good at wine, so it is unavoidable to use a few glasses when he goes out to socialize.

Thinking of Hua Tuo's previous diagnosis, Si Qi couldn't help worrying about his health.

It was Guo Yi who comforted Si Qi: "Father is much better now than before, and he also seriously uses the health tea given by Mr. Hua on weekdays. Sister, don't worry too much."

Si Qi really wanted to touch Guo Yi's little head like he did when he was a child, but when he saw it today, he couldn't do it.

Guo Yi has now grown up, is sensible, and is able to take care of his family.

Maybe it's because Guo Jia's burden became lighter and lighter after Guo Yi grew up. In recent years, Guo Jia has become more and more free-wheeling, but has become more and more erratic. It's not as good as Guo Yi's steady and sensible look.

During the days when Siqi went to Chengping, Guo Yi marked out many problems from the book, and always wanted to have a discussion with Siqi.

After meeting today, I will have a lively discussion.

Since it is a discussion, it is inevitable that the two will have disagreements.Especially the section about the Art of War, Siqi thought that Guo Yi's statement was too idealistic, but he didn't know how to refute it. He just remembered that there was a scholar's thesis on this section in the book collection at home, so he invited Guo Yi to go to the library to read it. look.

Guo Yi had also been to the library in Siqi's home before, and knew that Siqi compiled and compiled the books by himself, so he liked and yearned for it even more. After receiving Siqi's invitation, he naturally accepted and went with her to the scenic spot. garden.

When Si Qi took Guo Yi back to his yard, he met Cao Zhang and Zhen Shu standing together, but they didn't speak. Seeing her come back, Zhen Shu came up to meet her first, Cao Zhang was a little slow, and then followed.

Si Qi came over and cast his eyes on Zhen Shu: "What's the matter?"

Zhen Shu said: "There is a letter from Jiangdong, His Royal Highness Li Wang asked me to come and give it to you."

In fact, he also wanted to say that he had learned from King Li just now that this was a letter from a young son named Sun Shao, who was the son of Sun Ce, the former head of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

According to what King Li said, this gentleman seems to be very close to Lord Weng.

But after all, there are guests here now, especially Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang, who doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend with the lord, so Zhen Shu still chooses to help the lord keep the secret, without saying anything.

Si Qi took the envelope and knew it was Sun Shao's letter just by looking at it. She nodded slightly at Zhen Shu, expressing that she already understood.

Guo Yi and Cao Zhang are also acquaintances, he first said hello to this elder brother of the Cao family, then turned to Si Qi and said, "Sister, I have guests in the courtyard today, don't bother entertaining me, I will go by myself You can read it in the Library Pavilion."

Anyway, he is Siqi's serious junior, and he is not considered a guest.

Although the relationship between Cao Zhang and Guo Yi is not bad, but hearing this is not comfortable.

Guo Yi really doesn't treat himself as an outsider!

Although Guo Yi has a good relationship with Ah Ying, his relationship with Ah Ying is not bad either.

If we really want to talk about it, the relationship between him and Ah Ying is really good, it is a real relationship, unlike Guo Yi, it is because of the brothers and sisters who are tied together.

Guo Yi was about to go to the library when he came up, as if he was knowledgeable and others hadn't read books.

He, Cao Zhang, read less than them, but he can wield a sledgehammer in one hand, swinging it like a tiger, Guo Yi, can he?

And this Zhen Shu was a bit unpleasant for him to look at.

The Zhen family is amazing, Zhen Mi became his elder brother's favorite concubine, Zhen Shu came to seduce King Li and Ah Ying, and even became her chief guard, if he didn't work hard to improve himself and build a good relationship with Ah Ying, what would happen in the future? Didn't he want to be overtaken by Zhen Shu, a latecomer?

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang said to Si Qi: "Aying, I'm hungry."

He just wanted to see if Ah Ying wanted to leave the two of them and accompany him for dinner first, or take Guo Yi to read books first, and open Zhen Shu's letter first!

Sensing Cao Zhang's hostility, Zhen Shu frowned slightly with his pretty brows.

The son of Cao Cao's family, a reckless man, looks unpopular at first glance, but he seems to be very familiar with the king.

For Si Qi, these teenagers, one is her younger brother, one is her head guard, and the other is an old friend. It is normal for them to meet together in her courtyard, but for some reason, Si Qi just feels the atmosphere. A little embarrassing.

But Cao Zhang's suggestion is good. It's better to sit down and have a meal together than to have an awkward chat. As expected, he is the person with the strongest relationship with her, and he can help her at critical times.

Thinking of this, Si Qi smiled at the three of them: "Seeing that it's time for dinner, it's rare for everyone to meet today. I'll have someone clean up the east flower hall. How about we have shabu-shabu together?"

Si Qi's idea was good, but the meal she served as the host still failed in the end.

On Zhen Shu's side, it was Hua Tuo who said that he was recovering from a serious illness, and his diet was mainly light, while Guo Yi said that there was an equestrian class in the afternoon, and meals had been prepared at home.

Cao Zhang was older and relatively free, so he monopolized Siqi's lunch time and ate his lunch happily.

After sending Cao Zhang away, Si Qi returned to his residence, opened Sun Shao's letter, and learned that Jiangdong had not been peaceful recently.

Not long ago, Sun Shao's uncle and Sun Quan's youngest brother, Sun Yi, were murdered by the conspiracy of Gui Lan, the governor of Danyang, and Dai Yuan, the governor of the county.

Gui Lan killed Sun Yi and lived in his mansion. Seeing the beauty of Sun Yi's wife Xu, he became malicious and wanted to force her to marry him.Xu was smart and pretended to obey him, saying that now that her husband had just passed away, she couldn't bear to let it go. She had to pay homage to Sun Yi at the end of the month and take off her filial obedience before she could commit herself to Gui Lan.

Sure enough, after the end of the month, Mrs. Xu took off her filial piety, and on the surface she talked and laughed with Gui Lan, pretending to be ingratiating, but in fact she had already arranged everything in secret. Kill with Dai Yuan and pay homage to his deceased husband. 【1】

After reading this story, Si Qi was shocked.

These days the generals are doing nothing, killing their own masters, and occupying other people's wives.But Xu is a true female hero, brave, resourceful and knowledgeable. It is said that she is very good at divination. She can personally plan and avenge her husband and son-in-law in this era of patriarchy.

Immediately afterwards, Siqi received a letter from Chen Xing, stating that the girls' school has basically been completed and is about to start enrolling students in the near future. Siqi also hopes that the school can be implemented as soon as possible, so that girls can go out of the house and go to school.

Only by mastering knowledge, improving one's ability, and standing in a high position can one grasp the right to speak in this era and fundamentally improve the status of women.

Chen Xing also mentioned in the letter that due to the accumulation in the past few years, the city has a lot of money and food, and the caravan has started to operate on a small scale.

There are also several families of military generals in Chengping County, and one of them is the Huo family.

And the younger generation with the best kung fu and the highest talent in the Huo family is not the gentlemen of the family, but a 21-year-old but unmarried girl, Huo Qiulan.

The girl from the Huo family can fight from a distance and is good at attacking. She can carry a spear to make a steel whip, and a dagger is even more amazing. Because she is a woman, she has never been valued by her family. Chen Xing also after several rounds of competitions, Only then did he lock on Huo Qiulan.

If it was in the past, Chen Xing would not have focused on a woman joining the army, but after getting to know the king, he no longer thinks so.

Chen Xing's letter was a surprise to Si Qi. It is not easy for women in this era, and it is even more rare for a woman to beat a man in terms of strength. Si Qi hurriedly replied to Chen Xing. It is not easy to harvest a good seedling. , ask him to focus on training Huo Qiulan.

Cao Cao had a strong interest in Yecheng under Yuan Shao's rule, and the class teacher returned to the dynasty and stayed in Xudu for a short time, then returned to Yecheng with Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others.

Cao Cao was still very concerned about the Yidai Zhao incident. After arriving in Xudu, he always felt that he had fallen on the territory of Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he felt uncomfortable.

This time he brought a large army to live in Yecheng. Apart from wanting to stabilize his political power in the north and get the few states and counties that the Yuan family occupied at first, he also made it clear that he wanted to fight Liu Xie.

Cao Cao showed signs of wanting to move to Yecheng from March of the ninth year of Jian'an. There were different opinions on this matter in the court, but no one dared to come out to stop Cao Cao from leading people to the north.

For Liu Yun, a prince of the Han family who is easy to handle, Cao Cao still wanted to take him north to Yecheng and continue to help him with various affairs of the clan and old officials. He also expressed that although he moved to Yecheng, he had never forgotten the Han Dynasty The emperor's move to abandon the clan of the Han Dynasty.

After all, it is evidence that Liu Xie's uncle also moved to Yecheng for a long time.

And Liu Xie has had enough with Cao Cao for so many years. Although Cao Cao's departure is suspected of ostracizing him, as far as he is concerned, he has been evacuated so much that he can no longer be emptied. Cao Cao's departure is liberating for him. It's not a burden, which made him really relieved.

Liu Xie thought this was a good opportunity, and hoped that Liu Yun would stay, and everyone would stay in Xuchang together, so that they would not have to be oppressed by this man every day, so that they could live a comfortable life.

Intellectually, Liu Yun knew that he could not stay in Xuchang, and had to go to Yecheng with Boss Cao.

But emotionally speaking, he is not the kind of character who wants to be self-motivated and wants to make great achievements. Nowadays, the exquisite buildings of Jingyuan are built according to his aesthetics, and the vegetable plots are also arranged more and more decently. , even the children have adapted to the rhythm of life in Xuchang...

Thinking of this, Liu Yun covered his face, and said painfully to Si Qi: "Aying, give me a reason to go to Yecheng."

Si Qi said bluntly, "I want to go. Is that okay?"

Liu Yun took his hand off his face: "And why?"

The reason why Si Qi wanted to move to Yecheng was very simple, because it was much less distance from her fiefdom than Xuchang.

Seeing Liu Yun humming Qingqing unwillingly, Si Qi still couldn't help persuading him: "Father is now the leader of the clan, and this time Duke Cao went to Yecheng and took away the Han Family clans really don’t count that much. It’s fine if you choose Duke Cao this time, but if you choose Your Majesty and stay in Xudu with them, how can Duke Cao be at ease?”

Therefore, as a prince of the Han family who is currently in a weak position, don't easily challenge Cao Cao's bottom line.

Liu Yun also knew this was the reason, but he still had to be persuaded by someone before he could really calm down and follow him to Yecheng willingly.

Siqi has also lived in Jingyuan for seven or eight years, and she has feelings for every brick and tile here, but what she is most reluctant to part with is Liu Yun's collection of books that she personally sorted out.

The move was imminent, and Liu Yun was very busy, so Siqi selected hundreds of classic books, and invited his two elder brothers, sister-in-law Fan Qian, Zhen Shu, Cao Zhi, and his father's literati to help copy the books.

It is worth mentioning that the eldest sister-in-law Fan Qian looks gentle and demure, but her handwriting is very chic, which looks like a doctor of later generations writing medical records. It seems that this is the basic skill that doctors have needed since ancient times.

The others are either relatives or subordinates, and only Cao Zhi is the real guest who came to help.

After the sun went down that day, Si Qi accompanied Cao Zhi for the evening meal, and then personally sent him out of the garden gate.

Cao Zhi said something to Si Qi.

My father mentioned that day that he wanted to promise my younger sister to Zhou Buyi as his wife, but he refused on the spot.

Si Qi knew that Zhou Busu wanted to be loyal to Cao Cao, but she didn't know the reason why she didn't want to accept Cao's girl.

After all, the idea of ​​a genius cannot be guessed by ordinary people.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhi said again: "Father also asked me if I want to find a girl like you as my wife."

Si Qi immediately froze in place: "But...then what?"

Cao Zhi said: "I said that Taichang had already divination for me, saying that I should not marry prematurely."

It is said that before Sun Yi was killed, his wife, Xu, once gave him a fortune-telling, saying that it was not suitable to invite guests to meet people that day, and asked him to go back to his room to rest.

Sun Yi didn't listen.

It is precisely because of this matter that Cao Cao has recently believed in these divination techniques, and Cao Zhi easily used this reason to fool the past.

Si Qi:! ! !

Can you speak without panting!

Seeing Si Qi's relieved expression, Cao Zhi's heart warmed.

For him, Ah Ying is the most special place among the clan girls.It's just that she has too many things in her heart, she has her family, subordinates, and her royal city, but she doesn't care much about her son around her.

Now that my father was rejected by Zhou Buyi, he was very angry in his heart, and his attitude towards Zhou Buyi was not the same as before.If Ah Ying rejects his proposal again, father can't help but think about it, and even blame her.

Just let him block this matter for her for the time being, and it will not be too late to discuss it in the future.

==

In the past few years, the situation in the court has been changing, and no one can tell what will happen tomorrow, and staying with Cao Cao is even more stressful.

Going to Yecheng, Liu Yun only took Siqi and Zhang Shi together, and left Liu Heng and Liu Cheng brothers in Xudu.

Liu Heng is married, his wife Fan Qian is both well-connected and capable, and Liu Cheng has inherited many of Liu Yun's traits.

Before Liu Yun left Beijing, he made a marriage arrangement for Liu Cheng. The girl's surname was Zhong, and she was also from a noble family. If anything happened, the Yue family could help take care of it.

In this way, the two brothers stayed in Xuchang, and they could take care of each other.

After all, Mrs. Zhang abandoned her two grandchildren and went north to Yecheng with Si Qi and Liu Yun.
