Where has he seen such a big battle, Shen Zhaoan cried out of fright.

"I'm going to tell my parents, woo woo...Say that Shen Zhaoxue and you teamed up with this disrespectful martial artist to bully me!"

"I..." Shen Zhaoxue's body was about to move, wanting to explain, but she was caught tightly around her waist and was unable to break free.

Sima Yun has no intention of taking a step back in this regard, and will not soften his heart or feel sorry for Shen Zhaoan because of Shen Zhaoan's pitiful appearance.

As the only relatively older elder sister on the scene, facing such a fierce scene, it is necessary for her to stand up to mediate the conflict in order to maintain the majesty of her eldest sister, "Everyone, stop arguing, dad asked the three of us to come here The garden is for reminiscing about the old days and not for fighting, and the third brother-in-law is here today, Zhaoan, do you think you look like a lady, like a prostitute at home?"

Shen Zhaoping's remarks completely aroused Shen Zhaoan's anger. She usually cares about face most in the house, so she can't tolerate being taught by Shen Zhaoping in front of so many people, so she hurriedly put away her tears and yelled at her, "Thank you for not doing it!" If you recognize me as the concubine of the Shen family, you'd better clarify your position before talking to me."

No matter how Shen Zhaoan provoked her, Shen Zhaoping remained calm and magnanimous as always, "Zhaoan, stop calling Zhaoxue in trouble. After all, today is the day she and General Sima return home. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, then Don't blame me for reporting to Dad."

Shen Zhaoan's eyes widened, his body trembled with anger, and he immediately changed his expression, "Xindong, let's go." He said very arrogantly and shook his sleeves and walked away.

After the menacing Shen Zhaoan left, Sima Yun had unknowingly let go of Shen Zhaoxue. For her actions just now, she was just a little unaccustomed to her bravery, and nothing else.

"Thank you, elder sister, for saving Zhaoxue from the siege."

"Don't thank me, you should thank the general for arriving in time, or else you would have been beaten to pieces with bamboo sticks by that poor girl today."

When mentioning the bamboo branch, both of them looked at Sima Yun's arm at the same time, "General, your arm..."

"No problem." Sima Yun lowered his hands, his long sleeves covered him so he couldn't see anything.

"General Sima, you'd better let the doctor take a look, minor injuries should not be ignored." Shen Zhaoping said and prepared to call Mianchun to ask the doctor.

But it was still rejected by Sima Yun, "Thank you for your kindness, elder sister. The little injury I practiced since I was a child is just a superficial injury, nothing to worry about." After finishing speaking, he made a bow and turned his gaze to Shen Zhaoxue. The words seemed to be saying to her, "Didn't Madam say that she wants to show General Ben a tour of the other courtyard, so the two of us will stop bothering Eldest Sister."

Sima Yun didn't have the slightest intention to stay longer, Shen Zhaoxue quickly bowed to Shen Zhaoping, then hurriedly raised the hem of her skirt and followed.

"You, you..." Shen Zhaoping couldn't say much, and could only watch them go away.

Mian Chun stepped forward, "Miss, do we want to go back?"

The corner of Shen Zhaoping's mouth pressed down, and from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at the direction the two left, and then he replied, "Go back."

There seemed to be a long time of dissatisfaction in her tone, if it wasn't for that naughty girl Shen Zhao'an making trouble, she could still plan to spend more time with the general.

"Mother!"

As soon as Shen Zhaoan entered the yard, she acted coquettishly, her lambskin boots stomped on the bluestone floor, and she lost her temper and exerted herself all over her body. Meng Xianglan, who was taking a lunch break, was directly woken up by her, and she also had no temper, so she raised her hand to give her Zhao went over to dote on him, "What's the matter, who made my baby Zhao'an unhappy, mother will help you teach him a lesson."

Shen Zhaoan's small mouth was pouted, "It's not that Shen Zhaoping and Shen Zhaoxue." After finishing speaking, Shen Zhaoan first went to the small table by himself and poured a cup of tea to quench his thirst, and then continued, "I have good intentions. I picked a flower for Shen Zhaoxue, the broom star, not only was she thrown on the ground, but she also joined forces with Sima Yun, a warrior, to bully me, and Shen Zhaoping used his status as the eldest sister to show off his power!"

The more Shen Zhaoan spoke, the angrier she became, her whole cheeks were swollen with anger, Meng Xianglan pulled her to her side, patted her hand and said. "You don't have the same knowledge as them, mother, here is some good news, do you want to hear it?"

"What good news?" Shen Zhaoan was dubious.

"The new emperor needs to expand the harem when he enthrones, and there will be an audition soon. All the civil and military officials in the court want to send their daughters to the palace. Your father is the imperial envoy of the third rank, and you are the daughter of the Shen family. , the status is not more noble than the daughter of an ordinary official family? When you become a concubine in the future, are you afraid that you will not be able to deal with a little Shen Zhaoxue, Shen Zhaoping?"

Hearing Meng Xianglan's words, Shen Zhaoan's eyes lit up, as if he had imagined himself becoming a concubine, or even a queen, and then he would be the mother of a country, and he could just move his fingers if he wanted to pinch anyone to death.

"Mother, I want to participate in the draft, and I want to be a concubine!" Shen Zhaoan hugged Meng Xianglan's arm excitedly, "No, I want to be a queen!"

Meng Xianglan was extremely proud, "Mother and your father will definitely help you."

Sima House.

Sima Boyi sat upright in the pavilion, picked up a white chess piece and put it on the board smoothly, the black chess piece on the corner was instantly surrounded and there was nothing to hide, the person sitting opposite couldn't help laughing in admiration Convinced, "Brother Sima, this move of yours is really good."

"Brother Wu, let's make a deal." Sima Boyi clasped his fists humbly.

The one who played chess with Sima Boyi was Wu Guogong, who was also the younger brother of Sima Yun's deceased mother. He took advantage of the fact that all the children had gone out today and there was no one in the mansion to catch up with him.

Wu Qishan flicked his sleeves and poured tea with him personally, and said, "Brother Sima, what do you think of the current state of affairs?"

Sima Boyi took the teacup, blew on it, and before it was brought to his mouth, he said, "It's difficult, now that the Prime Minister's faction is getting stronger and stronger, Shen Qiwen's arrogance is also getting higher and higher, but my son and his family After accepting the kiss, I can't sit still all day long."

Wu Qishan shook his head again and again when he heard this, feeling helpless, "Although I am a first-rank Duke, I have become more and more downcast due to the erosion of the power of the Prime Minister's faction over the years, and now I am not as good as Shen Qiwen in the court. "

Immediately afterwards, Wu Qishan said again, "I just can't figure it out why the late emperor made such a move, marrying you and the Shen family together."

Sima Boyi laughed after hearing this, "Maybe it's because we have been fighting each other for decades, and we want to end our disputes. The kindness of the former emperor... has become my biggest trouble now."

"Then what is Brother Sima's plan in the future?" Wu Qishan asked.

"Take one step at a time." Sima Boyi sighed, "Now Shen Qiwen's third daughter has married into our Sima family, and the tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring, so he won't act recklessly for the time being."

"Yun'er and the others went to the Shen's house today. According to the rules of returning home, they may have to stay for one night. Brother Sima, why don't we have another game?"

"Very good, very good." Sima Boyi laughed.

After leaving the garden, Sima Yun had nowhere to go, so he had to follow Shen Zhaoxue to the small courtyard where she used to live, but as soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Rachel yelled, "Who did this!"

Shen Zhaoxue has only been married for three or four days, and when she returned home for the first time today, her small courtyard turned into a mess. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as being swept up by bandits.

"Miss, they are too bullying, we treated this place as a garbage dump just after we left!" Rachel turned her head and complained. "I'm going to report to the master!"

Shen Zhaoxue grabbed her, "Forget it," she said with difficulty and squeezed out a smile, "It's useless, how can Dad deal with such trivial things when he has so many things going on every day, we can just clean up by ourselves, anyway, it's just a one-time stay. Night."

"But miss..." Rachel was very reluctant to swallow this breath.

It's not that Shen Zhaoxue is unwilling to argue with reason and vent her anger, but that she has experienced too many encounters over the years, and she has become numb and accustomed to it, and weak conquest is nothing but thankless and useless.

Sima Yun, who stood aside and never made a sound, took a panoramic view of all this, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of woman is this, who at such a young age has a calmness and calmness that surpasses many people, what has she experienced? What...became what it is today.

Looking around, Sima Yun found that this other courtyard is really small, no different from ordinary women's residences, but if you look closely, you can see that the undamaged area is very beautifully decorated, with lush greenery, It's like walking into a picture scroll, and being in it makes people feel refreshed, comfortable and relaxed.

Sima Yun walked up to the half-trunk where the small objects were hung, and couldn't help reaching out his hand, just touching it, Rachel appeared out of nowhere and introduced, "These are some small objects made by my lady. How cute and delicate is this thing?"

Sima Yun withdrew his hand, instead of answering she asked a question, "This tree..."

Rachel hurriedly said, "This is the camphor tree planted by my young lady's mother before her death. She likes it the most. Unfortunately, the mistress doesn't like to force someone to cut it down. I don't know why. The young lady waters it every day. It never sprouted again."

At this moment, Shen Zhaoxue called Rachel suddenly, signaling her not to continue talking, "Rachel, don't bother the general, just clean up the yard with me."

"Okay, I'm here." Rachel turned and ran towards her.

Sima Yun's gaze also moved over. Shen Zhaoxue held up a bamboo broom about the same height as hers, and laboriously cleaned up the garbage on the ground. Her pale and slender fingers were slightly flushed from grasping, and the cuffs slipped down to her arms. At the elbow, showing his translucent white arm, Sima Yun silently swallowed his saliva.

"Let me do it." Suddenly a big hand stretched out in front of her eyes, Shen Zhaoxue stopped and looked up, she didn't know when the general came in front of her, she smiled lightly, and gripped the broom even tighter, "No, the general is resting stop."

Sima Yun didn't speak, but stretched out his hand again, insisting on it, with a firm attitude.

At this time, Rachel said, "Miss, you can give it to the general, the general wants to help..." She whispered in her ear, "It's really considerate."

Shen Zhaoxue blushed a little bit shyly, gave the bamboo broom to Sima Yun without saying a word, walked away silently and quickly went to work on other things, so as to cover up something.

It was getting late, Shen Zhaoping was sitting in his boudoir, when Mianchun suddenly came to report that Mrs. Wang had come, Shen Zhaoping got up and called out, "Mother, why are you here?"

Wang Wan looked unhappy, so she sat down with a cold face when she entered the door, and did not speak.

Shen Zhaoping sat down in front of her, "Mother, who made you unhappy?"

Only then did Wang Wan look at her, her tone was censorial, and her face was quite severe, "Tell me, are you thinking about that General Sima?"

Seeing this, Shen Zhaoping was a little embarrassed, waved his maid Mianchun out first, and said involuntarily when only the two of them were left in the room, "Mother, what do you mean, Zhaoping... I don't quite understand."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you were flirting with Sima Yun at the luncheon. I am your mother. How can I not understand your little thoughts?"

Shen Zhaoping was a little nervous and quickly grabbed Wang Wan's hand, "Mother, I..."

"Stop talking." Before she could speak, Wang Wan stopped, "Hurry up and get rid of those thoughts of yours, don't fight against your father!"

Shen Zhaoping bit his lip, daring to be angry and dare not speak, so he could only secretly hide his thoughts.

"Vice General Wei, we've been practicing all day, when can we disband the rest meeting?"

"Yes, brothers are starving to death."

"The general probably won't come to check this evening."

"..."

Sitting there, Wei Xue was very preoccupied and didn't look very happy. The soldiers below complained, which made her feel even more dizzy.

Qin Sun had no choice but to make a decision first, "That's enough, let's disperse in place first, and those who eat and drink water go."

Seeing that Wei Xue still didn't respond, and her whole body seemed to be out of her body, Qin Sun patted her on the shoulder as a reminder, "Why are you in a daze, I don't think the general will come over tonight."

"How do you know?" Wei Xue obviously didn't believe it.

"Look." Qin Sun sat down and analyzed for her, "Today is the day when the general brings his wife back home. According to the ancestor's rules, he has to stay at his mother's house for one night. Do you think the general will leave the newlywed wife behind? No matter, come to our place to watch a group of big men training soldiers?"

Wei Xue glanced at him after hearing this, got up and walked away, Qin Sun hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, don't go, I haven't finished analyzing it yet!"

"The general is worthy of being a martial arts practitioner. He cleaned up the yard in two or three strokes." Rachel stood on the steps in front of the house, holding a clean veil in her hand, feeling extremely relieved. Today, the general Her performance impressed her and refreshed her impression.

Seeing that Yu Xin couldn't bear it, Shen Zhaoxue took the handkerchief from Raiqiu's hand and walked forward, involuntarily helping her wipe the sweat from her forehead, her movements were natural, just like an ordinary lady wiping the sweat of her husband, Sima Yun couldn't help but froze, almost by conditioned reflex, he grabbed Shen Zhaoxue's wrist, maybe a little harder, Shen Zhaoxue frowned slightly, and murmured, "It hurts..."

Sima Yun let go of her, a layer of frost covered his face, and the next second he put the broom back to its original place with a stiff face, and then went into the main room without looking back.

"Miss, how are you? Did he hurt you?" Rachel ran over nervously to check.

Shen Zhaoxue was a little dazed, and flicked her wrist, "I'm fine."

Rachel expressed that she was very angry, and it was okay to be ungrateful, and so rude!

Sima Yun who was sitting in the room didn't understand his panic, he didn't understand.
