Nativity

Chapter 390 Li Fu is here and there is no news

Strictness does not mean no love, after all, there is only one daughter.

Sima Ao also felt very uncomfortable when his daughter was punished to be confined in the firewood room.

It just so happened that the village chief sent some fish, and my daughter likes fish the most.

Sima Ao made a braised fish and asked the child's wife to take it there, and told the child's mother not to say it was his idea.

Of course, when Sima Ao went into the kitchen to cook fish, he saw Fat Ya and Li Changshou delivering food.

Sima Ao watched from a dark place, but did not step forward to stop the reprimand.

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

The sun was shining brightly, Sima Lian had nothing to do, so he danced his sword.

Just as the dance was in ecstasy, the voices of a man and a woman were heard.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few months, my 'Little Golden Lotus' is beautiful again!" Jiang Bin joked.

"Does 'Xiao Jinlian' want to be a mother?"

Jingjing is still unmarried and considers 'Xiao Jinlian' as her goddaughter.

"Uncle, godmother, you are here!"

Sima Lian withdrew her sword and rushed towards Jingjing and Jiang Bin excitedly.

"Godmother, I made a chest-length skirt for my family 'Jinlian'. It is made of the best silk and satin in the cloth shop." As she spoke, Jingjing unfolded the chest-length skirt and let Sima Lian see if she liked it. like?
The light yellow with green grass and starry embroidery embellishes a sea of ​​stars, and it is also paired with a white silk, just like a white cloud in the sea of ​​stars.

Sima Lian took a closer look at the under skirt, no matter the color matching or the fine workmanship, she had nothing to say.Such a beautiful skirt, but I always feel that it doesn't match my temperament.

Seeing that Sima Lian was watching but didn't speak for a long time, Jingjing asked in a daze, "What, isn't it good-looking?"

"It's beautiful, but it doesn't suit me very well." Sima Lian looked depressed.

"What's the matter? This Ru skirt gives people a youthful, dreamy, lively and refined look; is it worn at your age?"

Jingjing thought to herself, if she could be 20 years younger, she would be so reluctant to give this skirt to others, so she would wear it herself.

"Father always says that I'm not dignified enough, that I'm just a boy. If I wear such a lady's skirt, I'm afraid I'll be trampled on." Sima Lian explained the reason.

"Hey! Your father is like that. He keeps a stern face all day and doesn't like anyone. You don't need to pay attention to him." Jiang Bin said with a look.

"How can you speak ill of the child's father to the child?"

"I'm uncle, tell me what's wrong with my brother-in-law?"

Jingjing glanced at Jiang Bin, and persuaded Sima Lian earnestly, don't listen to what your uncle said, your father only has you as a daughter, so naturally he has high expectations of you, so he is a little strict with you, but he loves you. "

Jiang Bin knew that the sentence just now had more or less the element of provoking father and daughter's feelings.

Jiang Bin scratched his daughter (Sima Lian)'s head, and said jokingly, "But then again, you do have a bit of manliness."

Sima Lian curled her lips at her uncle, and replied knowingly, "I know."

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

Jingjing and Jiang Bin came here often, and would often see Sima Ao drinking tea and playing chess under the gardenia tree; reading and preparing lessons in the break room;

Jiang Min also makes baskets under the gardenia tree; or goes to the kitchen to make food, and is busy and fulfilling every day.

Jingjing looked at the academy, but couldn't see Sima Ao and Jiang Min, and asked, "Why don't you see your father and mother?"

"Oh, my father and my mother went to the village chief's house and said they wanted to talk about something." Sima Lian replied.

"Okay, let's wait for them here!"

Jiang Bin and Jingjing sighed softly at the untimely arrival.

Not long after Jiang Bin and Jingjing waited under the tree, Sima Ao and Jiang Min came back.

The four of them sat down around Zhang Shitai, chatting while drinking tea.

"Brother, sister Jingjing, why do you come to see us when you have time?" Jiang Min asked.

When Jiang Min asked, Jingjing and Jiang Bin sighed and said, now that there is chaos everywhere, foreign caravans dare not come to our Tang Dynasty, and business is getting harder and harder!

Jingjing and Jiang Bin now envy Sima Aolai, envy Sima Ao for having the foresight to open the school, and now there are many students.

"Hey, now that I think about it, I still think it's good for you, Big Brother Ao, to start a school! Students can do anything when they grow up, so you don't have to worry about it." Jingjing said enviously.

Indeed, the first, second, and third batch of students of Sima Aojiao have all graduated.

The term "becoming a teacher" here means that the students went to various places and went to all walks of life to become famous.

The ungraduated students can help the college with a lot of work, and they can also help Sima Ao to take classes.

Now Sima Ao doesn't have to worry about anything at all, he only needs to drink tea and enjoy the scenery every day!
"Seeing that you two live so chicly, I want to come to your academy to be a musician, teaching students Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu." Jiang Bin asked Sima Ao.

Jiang Min rolled her eyes at her brother, and said, "Brother, what are you talking about. If you come to me as a musician, who will take care of the property of the Jiang family."

"Sister, you don't know that there are many wars and natural disasters, and the people are hungry and poorly clothed. Who can afford these extravagant things?" Jiang Bin said to his sister Jiang Min with a sigh.

Jingjing also sighed and added, "It's true, my cloth shop used to make expensive and beautiful silk, but now I make cheap and durable linen." Jingjing also added with a sigh.

Sima Ao listened silently.

Sima Ao, who never travels far all the year round, did not expect the situation to deteriorate to such an extent.

Jiang Bin glanced around, lowered his voice, and said, "I went to Chang'an some time ago. Now Chang'an is in turmoil. There are rumors that Zhu and Wen are planning to rebel and kill Emperor Zhaozong."

what?
The emperor can be killed, and it makes people feel chills to think about it.

Sima Ao's heart was attached to the Tang Dynasty, and when he heard that Emperor Zhaozong was killed, his heart suddenly felt a dull pain.

Sima Ao thought that after the fatuous and extravagant Yizong passed away, the Tang Dynasty would usher in a better opportunity and usher in a new atmosphere, but he did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would fall even faster; now it is hard to choose a good emperor (Tang Zhaozong), but He was murdered by Zhu Wen's treacherous officials.

Why are traitors always in power?

God, are you going to destroy Datang?

Sima Ao was filled with grief and indignation, yet he was so helpless.

…………

It's been a long time!

Sima Ao suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, and asked Jiang Bin: "Then, have you found out about Li Fulai?"

Jiang Bin shook his head sadly.

After the fatuous and extravagant Emperor Yizong passed away, Li Fulai had no news from him, and his life and death remained unserved.

As soon as Li Fulai was mentioned, Sima Ao, Jiang Min, Jiang Bin, and Jingjing all felt heartbroken!
Over the years, Sima Ao asked many people to inquire, but there was still no news of Li Fulai.

Sima Ao naturally knew how cruel the court struggle was.

Now even the emperor can be killed, let alone a small painter, but how slim is the chance of Li Fulai's survival?

Even knowing that the chance of Li Fulai being alive is very slim, Sima Ao and Jiang Bin did not give up searching.In short, it's still the same saying, you need to see people in life, and you need to see corpses in death. Sima Ao and Jiang Bin will not give up looking for them.

Sima Ao and Jiang Bin did not give up looking for Li Fulai, which fully demonstrated the depth of the brotherhood of the three.
