Farmers of Shu Han

Sima Yi's wife, Zhang Chunhua, has few virtues and extraordinary knowledge.

Back in the day, Cao's wife wanted to recruit Sima Yi, but Sima Taifu refused on the grounds that he was suffering from wind paralysis and was unable to get out of bed.

Unexpectedly, one day when there was a sudden rainstorm, Taifu Sima ran outside to collect books in a moment of anxiety, and then was seen by a maid at home.

Zhang Chunhua was worried that Sima Yi's pretending to be sick would be leaked and cause disaster, so he killed the maidservant himself to silence the news.

After killing the maidservant, he set fire to the stove and cooked.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Chunhua's perseverance is not comparable to that of ordinary women.

I'm afraid that even most men can't compare to her.

Over the years, she has helped Sima Yi a lot, and she has won Sima Yi's attention.

Sima Yi respected and feared her.

It's just that between husband and wife, affection is common sense.

It's okay to say that if you are too afraid, as a man, you will inevitably want to enjoy tenderness on other women in order to seek psychological balance.

Not to mention that Taifu Sima is in a high position.

So Sima Yi naturally loves the docile Mrs. Bai very much.

Having tasted the feeling he wanted from Mrs. Bai, coupled with the fact that Zhang Chunhua was old and decrepit, and the powerful Sima Taifu was naturally tired of his wife.

It's just that Zhang Chunhua is easy to get along with?

How she was humiliated by Sima Yi in front of Mrs. Bai was a combination of shame and hatred.

Thinking about Sima Yi's status today, he also had his share of credit, but he didn't expect to be treated like this in the end.

The breath was held in her throat, she couldn't swallow it and couldn't vent it out, so she simply lay upright on the couch, didn't say a word, didn't eat or drink, and was ready to go on a hunger strike and wait to die.

Zhang Chunhua gave birth to three sons and one daughter for Sima Yi.

His daughter is married, Master Sima is dead, and Sima Zhao stays in Luoyang. Only his youngest son, Sima Qian, who is eleven years old, follows Sima Yi in Yecheng.

Sima Gan hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and this time it was hard for the mother and son to get together. Unexpectedly, the mother would go on a hunger strike to commit suicide.

He was so frightened that he burst into tears, brought the food himself, and kept begging Zhang Chunhua to have a bite.

Zhang Chunhua just closed his eyes and did not move.

Seeing his mother like this, Sima Gan didn't know whether he was tired from crying or was overly frightened, and finally passed out.

When Sima Yi learned that Zhang Chunhua was on a hunger strike, he still didn't care much.

It wasn't until he learned that his son had passed out that he realized that the matter was serious. He quickly got up from Mrs. Bai's arms and went to visit him.

Fortunately, Sima Gan was only in a coma for a short time, and was soon revived.

As soon as he woke up, he saw Sima Yi in front of the couch, and immediately burst into tears again. Regardless of Sima Yi's obstruction, he ran to Zhang Chunhua with his bare feet on the ground.

Zhang Chunhua's hunger strike, as well as Sima Gan's unstable mental state, made the Taifu Befu jump up and down all at once.

Until it was time for dinner, Sima Gan still hid in Zhang Chunhua's room, refusing to come out for half a step, and only said that he would go on a hunger strike with his mother.

As the official wife of Zhang Chunhua, even Sima Yi had to be in awe, so he naturally had a lot of prestige in Sima's family.

Sima Zhao's wife, Wang Yuanji, was also in Yecheng at this time.

When she learned that Zhang Chunhua wanted to go on a hunger strike, she personally held the food and knelt outside the door, begging endlessly.

And Mrs. Fu, another concubine of Sima Yi, has always respected and befriended Zhang Chunhua.

Hearing this, she felt Wang Yuanji's filial piety, and she brought her four sons, Sima Ni, Sima Liang, Sima Jing, and Sima Jun, to kneel outside the door, and together with Wang Yuanji, begged Zhang Chunhua to change his mind.

Seeing so many people kneeling outside Zhang Chunhua's house without eating for a day, Sima Yi couldn't help feeling angry and anxious.

He just felt that his old face was so hot that he couldn't hold it, and he couldn't help asking why Wang Yuanji, who was in the lead, was like this.

Wang Yuanji replied respectfully:
"For couples, yin and yang are the same. The husband is yang, the woman is yin, the husband listens to foreign affairs, and the woman takes care of internal affairs. This can be said to be the harmony of yin and yang, and the family can prosper."

"Auntie is the mistress of the mansion. She is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and she will commit suicide. If she doesn't persuade her, the manor will lose peace, and the concubine will lose her filial piety."

When Sima Yi heard this, he was startled.

He looked at his sons kneeling on the ground again, finally sighed, and walked into the house.

Zhang Chunhua closed his eyes and remained motionless.

His son Sima Gan knelt in front of the couch.

Sima Yi let out a long sigh:
"I heard the bad news before, I couldn't control myself, and my words were inappropriate, Wang Xijun, don't take it to heart."

Zhang Chunhua remained motionless, and did not even open his eyes.

Sima Yi twitched when he saw her like this.

Having been married for many years, he certainly knew Zhang Chunhua's character.

This old thing!

She was planning to slap herself in the face in front of everyone, in order to retaliate for what she had said to her earlier.

If it was someone else, he would have walked away long ago.

Those with a more violent temper, such as Huan Fan and his like, who can beat a pregnant wife's belly with the handle of a knife, would not be surprised if they just slashed at him in this situation.

But who is Sima Taifu?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too.

Wearing all women's clothing, caring about this little thing in front of me?

But Sima Yi took a deep breath, bowed his hands to Zhang Chunhua who was on the bed in front of his concubines and sons, and bowed deeply:
"Ma'am, I don't practice morality. I said bad things to my wife before, but now I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me this time, madam."

When Zhang Chunhua heard this, he opened his eyes, then turned his head to look at Sima Yi who was bowing, and said:

"Why is Husband Master like this? The concubine is just tired and has no desire to eat, but Master Lao is worried."

Sima Yi's nails sank deeply into the palm of his hand, but his face was filled with joy, he raised his head and said:
"So that's the case, I was too worried. But how can Madam not eat because she's tired? It's not good for your health, so please ask Madam to eat something anyway, so as not to worry all the people in the house."

"Quick, Ziliang (i.e. Sima Gan), help your mother up quickly, I'll send someone to bring some food over."

When Sima Gan heard this, he quickly wiped his eyes and got up, wanting to help Zhang Chunhua.

Zhang Chunhua was still lying down.

"Mother?"

Sima Gan called softly.

Zhang Chunhua shook his head:
"I'm not hungry."

Sima Yi took a look, but he still didn't understand.

His teeth were about to be crushed, but the smile on his face became more and more gentle. He bent forward and stretched out his arms to help Zhang Chunhua:
"Why isn't Madam hungry? Come on, I'll help you up."

Zhang Chunhua took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and sat up.

She didn't look at Sima Yi, but said to the outside:

"Okay, you haven't eaten all day, take the children to have dinner quickly, so as not to starve them out."

Mrs. Fu outside heard this, and quickly responded: "Here."

Taifu Sima's old face twitched again, it was obvious that this old man did it on purpose for him to see.

This old man was showing him the importance of her prestige in the mansion.

The quarrel between Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua ended with Sima Yi bowing his head and apologizing to Zhang Chunhua in public.

However, Taifu Sima naturally had something to say about this.

After the incident, he privately said to Mrs. Bai resentfully:

"I don't care about old things, I'm so worried about them."

It means that there is nothing to be sorry about that old thing's death, I just worry about suffering my good sons.

However, although Sima Yi's words were released in this way, he did not expect that the aftermath of this matter would still continue.

A few days later, when Sima Yi saw the dusty people in a state of distress, he almost didn't recognize Sima Zhao as his son, he was both surprised and horrified:
"Why did my son come here? Could it be, what happened to Luoyang?"

Apart from the fall of Luoyang, he really couldn't imagine that his son would suddenly appear in Yecheng.

But, if that's the case, the western bandits took Luoyang too fast, right?
Sima Zhao, who hadn't bathed for a few days and just kept his head on his way, exuded a strong sour smell all over his body. Hearing the adult's question, he shook his head quickly:

"My lord, please rest assured that Luoyang is fine."

"Then why are you doing this?"

Sima Yi was washed back half a step by the sour smell, and only then did he stop the tears that were about to be spit out.

"I heard that my mother..." Sima Zhao's eyes dodged, and he was a little confused, "I heard that my mother is ill, so I can't rest assured. In a hurry, this is..."

When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately became angry.

Seeing that Sima Yi's expression was not right, Sima Zhao quickly knelt down, walked to Sima Yi's feet, hugged Sima Yi's thigh, and burst into tears:

"My lord, my lord, the child lost his elder brother, and his heart aches like twists and turns, and he dares not reveal anything in front of everyone during the day, for fear of disturbing people's hearts."

"The only thing I can do is cover my quilt and cry bitterly at night, not daring to make a sound. A few days ago, I heard that my mother was ill in Yecheng, and the child was in a state of confusion. I wished I could fly to my mother to perform my filial piety."

Originally annoyed that Sima Zhao had left Luoyang without permission, Sima Yi couldn't help being startled when he heard his son crying and saying these words.

After a long time, he sighed a long time, put his hand on top of Sima Zhao's head, stroked his hair and said:
"Your mother is fine, you should get up first and go see her."

Only then did Sima Zhao stop crying, and after saluting to Sima Yi, he was going to visit Zhang Chunhua.

Sima Yi smelled the sour smell when Sima Zhao passed by him, and suddenly said:

"Son, your mother has been in a bad mood for the past few days, I'm afraid she can't smell your body, and she'll take a bath first before going."

When Sima Zhao heard the words, he quickly turned around and responded to Sima Yi.

Seeing the back of his son leaving in a hurry, Sima Yi suddenly sighed:

"Although Zishang's talent is not as good as Ziyuan's, his filial piety is as good as Ziyuan's, so it's rare..."

Wang Yuanji was afraid that something might happen to Zhang Chunhua again, and these days she was serving her aunt in untidy clothes, and when she saw her husband-in-law coming, she couldn't help being both surprised and happy:
"Alang, why are you here?"

"I'm going to see my mother."

While talking, Sima Zhao, who had changed his clothes, looked at Zhang Chunhua, who was half lying on the couch, and greeted:

"Mom, the baby is late, are you okay?"

Having lost his eldest son, Zhang Chunhua, who had been a little depressed these days, saw Sima Zhao, and couldn't help but think of Master Sima again.

Her face became sad, and she stretched out her hand to signal Sima Zhao to go:

"Son, why are you here?"

Wang Yuanji hastily explained:

"Going back to Auntie, I made a good idea and sent someone to deliver the letter to Luoyang."

Then he looked at Sima Zhao again:

"But I sent another letter the next day, saying that Auntie is fine. Didn't Alang receive the news?"

Sima Zhao shook his head:
"As soon as I received Xijun's letter, I set off immediately. Presumably the messenger was on the way and I didn't meet him."

While speaking, Sima Zhao stepped forward and held Zhang Chunhua's hand:
"Aunt, how are you feeling now? Is it okay?"

Zhang Chunhua shook his head:
"What can I do?"

She looked outside the door, then lowered her voice:

"You come here like this, what will Luoyang do? Will your father blame you?"

Hearing this, Sima Zhao subconsciously glanced at Wang Yuanji, then shook his head and comforted him:

"Mum, don't worry, the arrangements have been made before the baby leaves Luoyang."

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Besides, in the current situation in Luoyang, if the western thieves really come to attack, even if I'm there, I'm afraid it won't help."

"So I came here this time not only to worry about my mother, but also to ask my lord what my plan is for Luoyang."

Known child Moruomu.

What's more, Zhang Chunhua is quite intelligent.

It's just that she has been in the pain of losing her son these days, so when she saw Sima Zhao, she didn't think about him, so she asked those words.

Seeing his son's appearance at this moment, and hearing these words again, he already had a faint guess in his heart.

She glanced at Wang Yuanji who was showing respect, pondered for a while, and finally nodded:

"What you said is quite reasonable. This time you come here, you really should ask your lord clearly. It's better than staying in Luoyang alone without knowing what to do."

Seeing his mother say this, Sima Zhao knew that there was nothing wrong with coming to Yecheng this time.

Only then did he let go of his heart that had been secretly hanging.

At least, with the support of the mother, the test of the father will not be too difficult to pass.

Thinking of this, Sima Zhao lifted his spirits, and began to ask Zhang Chunhua how he was.

Zhang Chunhua's gloomy mood was finally relieved a little as his son and daughter-in-law shared the same knee.

After serving Zhang Chunhua to rest, Sima Zhao and his wife came out of Zhang Chunhua's room.

As soon as Sima Zhao came out, the servants who had been waiting outside informed him to go see the Taifu immediately.

Sima Zhao didn't dare to be negligent, and he hurriedly went to see Sima Yi again regardless of his physical fatigue.

Without imagining the accusation that he abandoned Luoyang, Sima Yi sat there, but only gently signaled Sima Zhao to sit down, and then asked:
"Before you came here, did you arrange the matter in Luoyang properly?"

When Sima Zhao heard the words, he immediately knelt down in front of Sima Yi again, with a sad face:
"My lord, my boy is stupid, and I have failed my lord's expectations! After the elder brother left, my boy was at a loss for the chaos in Luoyang, which caused Luoyang to fall into chaos. Father, please punish me."

Sima Yi intended to question him, but now he saw him admit his mistake.

Seeing that his face was thin and tired with unconcealable exhaustion on his face, what he originally wanted to blame, he couldn't say at this time.

After all, Master Sima died not long ago, so it would be wrong to say that Sima Yi was not sad.

Seeing Sima Zhao at this time, he would involuntarily think of Master Sima, and he couldn't harden his heart.

"Get up, get up first and then talk."

Sima Yi reached out to help him up, let Sima Zhao sit beside him, and sighed slightly:

"If your eldest brother is still here, you will know what I mean for you to guard Luoyang personally, but why... Sigh!"
