Chapter 342 An Open Life

15 years later
On the bustling streets of Kyoto, an army is clearing the way.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

"The censor of Zuodu is here, please get out of the way of the crowd."

Sisters, come and see!

It is Zuodu Yushi who has returned to the mansion!

When the people in Kyoto heard it was true, Zuodu Yushi went back to the house and ran to both sides of the street to watch, especially the young girl who had not left the cabinet.

A handsome young man in a luxurious purple official robe exudes an extraordinary aura between his brows, riding a tall horse, walking through the streets of Kyoto, looking around from time to time.

This handsome young man is Sima Ao.

Sima Ao obeyed Dongfang Yuer's words and took part in the imperial examination to realize his ambition.

Sima Aozhen took part in the imperial examination as written in the book of fate, won the number one scholar, and won the appreciation of the old emperor.The official rank is like a sesame blossom, and it only took 15 years to rise from the deputy eighth rank to the third rank; playing an open life.

Xiaopang became Sima Ao's guard, clearing the way for Sima Ao.

You have heard that Zuodu Yushi has not yet married a wife.

That's right, such a handsome Zuodu Yushi, why hasn't he married yet?
Maybe it's because I'm busy with work, and I'm delaying my life's event!
If we are unmarried, then don’t we have hope?

Yes, if I can marry Zuodu Yushi, I will do anything!
Even if you can't marry Zuodu Yushi, if you can have a romantic relationship with Zuodu Yushi overnight, you will be happy even if you die!
whee!whee!
The girls expressed their thoughts and smiled shyly.

The girls in Kyoto are obsessed with Sima Ao to the point of going crazy.

thump thump thump...

I learned that Sima Ao returned home today on vacation.Jiang Bin and Li Fulai came to Sima Mansion early in the morning to wait.

Seeing Sima Ao riding a tall horse, wearing a gorgeous official robe, and looking proud, the two of them were very upset.

Well, you Sima Ao, every time you go back home on vacation, you have to beat gongs and drums to publicize it, can't you keep a low profile?

Why did Jiang Bin and Li Fulai hate Sima Ao's high-profile appearance? It was because of the sharp contrast with Sima Ao's life.

Jiang Bin and Li Fulai failed to pass the exam, only a scholar.

The two, who were unwilling to help the family business, had nothing to do all day long, and often went to the Cuixiang Building with a light smile.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Bin and Li Fu are the idle rich second generation, and Sima Ao is now a high-ranking official, how can he not call Jiang Bin and Li Fu sour.

"Aodi, you are so high-profile every time you go out, how can we embarrass you?" Li Fu said jokingly.

Sima Ao said in a low voice, "I didn't do this just to let my husband see."

Fifteen years have passed, and Sima Ao's longing for Dongfang Yu'er has never stopped.

Sima Ao thought that as long as he was a high-ranking official and became famous all over the world, his husband would come back.Therefore, Sima Ao worked hard to make himself a high-ranking official and become famous all over the world, just to want Dongfang Yu'er to come back.

However, after 15 years, Sima Ao did not wait for Dongfang Yuer to come back, not even a single letter, as if he had disappeared.

"It's been 15 years, why hasn't your husband come back to see us?"

When Jiang Bin and Li Fulai mentioned why Dongfang Yuer didn't come back, Sima Ao was a little sad!
Sima Ao couldn't help asking himself: "Yeah, it's been 15 years, why didn't the master come back to see us? Not only did he not come back to see us, he didn't even have a letter, as if he disappeared."

Sima Ao once wanted to go to the East China Sea to find Dongfang Yuer, but he searched through the ancient books, but he couldn't find where the East China Sea was?

........................

"Ao'er, you're back!"

Hearing the sound of the gong getting closer, Jiang Min also came out with the help of Xiang Fu.

Last year, Mrs. Xiang fell from the carriage due to an accident and broke her leg, making it difficult for the guide to walk.

"Mom, why did you come out?"

Seeing his mother struggling to walk, Sima Ao stepped forward to support her in distress, and scolded Jiang Min, "Why did you bring mother out, knowing that mother is inconvenient to walk."

I?
The moment Sima Ao came back, Jiang Min wanted to greet him, but now that Sima Ao was talking about himself, Jiang Min was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Mother is fine. Don't blame Min'er, it's because Mother missed you so much that she asked Min'er to help her out." Mrs. Xiang hurriedly interceded for Jiang Min.

Sima Ao didn't say anything.

"Don't be dazed, let's go and sit in the living room."

Mrs. Xiang asked everyone to sit in the living room, and told them that she had asked the servants to prepare a sumptuous meal.

Jiang Bin, Li Fulai, Xiaopang and others entered the living room together, respectful rather than obedient.

Sima Xiang's mansion is one of the best mansions in Kyoto. The whole mansion is as big as a palace, and the decoration is not inferior to the halls in the palace.

Entering the living room, he looked around at Sima Ao to his wife to see if Sima Ao had lost weight?
Fortunately, Sima Ao didn't lose weight and kept a standard figure, otherwise Mrs. Xiang would be so distressed.

At this time Sima Xiang came over.

Jiang Bin and Li Fulai hurriedly greeted Sima Xiangzuo.

Sima Xiang smiled slightly, telling everyone not to be polite, they are all from his own family.

"Ao'er, being promoted to Zuodu Censor, do you feel it's hard work, can you handle it?"

"It will be a little stressful when you first take up the position as Zuodu Censor, but I can overcome it." Sima Ao replied with a salute.

"That's good!"

Sima Xiang patted Sima Ao on the shoulder as a way to cheer up his son.

"Going back to the mansion today, you rode a horse and beat the gong again?" Sima Xiang asked Sima Ao again.

Sima Ao didn't dare to hide it. "yes."

When Sima Xiang learned about his son, he returned home with great fanfare, his expression darkened.

Sima Xiang has retired and no longer cares about court affairs, but he understands the intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom.Now that his son's official rank is rising steadily like sesame seeds, Sima Xiang is worried that some people will be jealous and feel guilty about his son.

"Father has taught you many times to keep a low profile in everything and to be introverted. Why do you listen? Especially since you have just been promoted to Zuodu Censor, you should not be ostentatious in dealing with others. You must know how to restrain your edge, understand? In Sima Xiang's words, there was a bit of severe reprimand.

"Master Xiang, you have wrongly blamed the young master. In fact, the young master returned home with great fanfare to let Mr. Dongfang see, and hope that Mr. Dongfang can come back." Xiaopang explained for Sima Ao.

Who?
Sima Xiang didn't remember who Mr. Dongfang was at all, not only Sima Xiang didn't remember, even the whole house didn't remember that there was such a person as Mr. Dongfang.

"It's the gentleman who taught us?" Xiaopang added.

Sima Xiang thought about it, and seemed to remember that there was such a person; but what that Mr. Dongfang looked like, when he came to Sima Mansion to teach, and when he left; Sima Xiang couldn't remember.

"Ao'er, do you miss that Mr. Dongfang so much?"

Sima Xiang was puzzled that he had hired so many gentlemen, but his son only had a soft spot for Mr. Dongfang.

When Xiaopang was talking, Sima Ao coughed dryly, telling Xiaopang to stop talking.

"Father is a good teacher, and the child will listen to the teaching."

Mrs. Xiang felt that her son had done well enough, but she couldn't see Sima Xiang always being so 'mean' to his son. "Son, I just got home. Master, don't keep talking about your son.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything!" Sima said to the one who surrendered.
