Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 58 Pretending to be paralyzed and refusing to enter Cao's camp, plotting a big plan (3)
Witnessing this situation, the envoy of the Sikong Mansion had no choice but to return sadly with nothing but a paper book and a cart full of betrothal gifts.This Sima Yi encountered this misfortune when he was young and promising, like an eagle breaking its wings when it was about to fly, and it became a misfortune that everyone in Hanoi County lamented for a while.

At the same time that this dark cloud was hanging over Sima's house, probably to avenge Sima Yi's disaster, an unexpected happy event appeared in Sima's mansion in Xiaojing: Sima Yi, who was suffering from wind paralysis, He actually held a grand wedding ceremony with Zhang Chunhua, the daughter of Zhang Wang, the magistrate of Suyi County in the same county. He was supported by his personal attendants Niu Jin and Sima Yin, and he and Zhang Chunhua paid homage to the parents of heaven and earth, and sent him to the bridal chamber.

According to the recollection of relatives and friends who attended the wedding: At this wedding, Sima Yi was tear-stained and sad, as if he was weeping for his desolate second half of his life.He used to be so talented and radiant, and he was once so expected by the world to be "the tool of the public servant and the talent of the community", but now he can only live in his hometown and stay in a humble hut, only relative to his wife and servants. , The rest of his life was spent in obscurity.However, relatives and friends still felt a little relieved for Sima Yi: It can be seen that the Zhang family in Suyi did not seem to dislike the disabled son-in-law at all. He also treats Sima Yi with love and consideration.They all said: With Sima Yi's current situation and conditions, it is really a blessing to be able to marry Zhang Chunhua, a wife who never dislikes him, is gentle and considerate--except for Zhang Wang, who is a fool Would he marry his own yellow girl to a half disabled person like Sima Yi?

"Husband, your white fungus soup is ready!" A voice as soft and melodious as Ying's cry floated over, drawing Sima Yi's eyes from the window back to the room: Zhang Chunhua was dressed in plain clothes, graceful and graceful, bringing a scent of fragrance The room moved, holding a red lacquer tray in his right hand, he had already come to his bed and stopped.

"Thank you, sister Chunhua..." Sima Yi leaned on the back of the couch and said softly.

Zhang Chunhua smiled, put the tray in his hand on the table, picked up the silver bowl on the plate, gently scooped up a spoonful of steaming white fungus soup with a jade spoon, put it on his lips and blew it gently Blow it a few times, and then send it to his mouth with a smile: "Come on! Husband... just try it..."

Sima Yi shook his head wordlessly.

"Is my husband afraid that the white fungus soup will burn my mouth?" Zhang Chunhua was a little strange, and looked at the crystal-clear white fungus soup in the spoon. It will hurt your stomach."

Sima Yi still shook his head.

"Then, my husband must think that my concubine's skill in making this white fungus soup is not good..." Zhang Chunhua slowly put the jade spoon back into the silver bowl, with a trace of disappointment in his tone, and a smile suddenly broke out on his face, "It doesn't matter, I will go down later and learn from Mrs. Niu, and cook a bowl for you."

The expression on Sima Yi's face fluctuated slightly: "Sister Chunhua, why do you have to suffer so much for Yi? Yi is in such a situation today, I'm afraid I'm a little disappointed in your affection for my sister!"

"Husband, don't say such things!" Zhang Chunhua opened his almond-shaped eyes, stared at Sima Yi with anger and joy, twisted the silk ribbon at the corner of his clothes with his hands and wrapped it between his fingers a few times, and said softly, "Husband, you I don’t know, being able to marry you and become your wife is already the greatest blessing in Chunhua’s life! Chunhua can serve and accompany her husband like this every day, and his heart is as sweet as drinking this white fungus soup It's sizzling..."

"Chunhua..." Sima Yi looked at the sincerity on Zhang Chunhua's face, and couldn't help tears from the corners of his eyes. I will lie on this hospital bed for half my life and never get up again... I have suffered so much for you! Seeing you busy with Yi's chores every day, and Yi Kong's name as a man who set up a family, I really feel ashamed... "

Zhang Chunhua raised his eyes, looked at Sima Yi with tears in his eyes, and showed a sweet smile: "Husband, why do you feel bitter? I am really happy to be with you! How could I What complaints do you have about your current situation?" Speaking of this, she smiled again: "Speaking of which, I have to thank my husband for this wind paralysis! If it weren't for..." She said the following " With it" swallowed back the three words, and continued to smile sweetly: "How can I be with my husband today? Such a day was something I only had in my dreams before..."

Listening to Zhang Chunhua's words, Sima Yi couldn't help feeling mixed feelings: not long after he pretended to be suffering from wind-related arthralgia, Zhang Wang suddenly sent someone to propose marriage to his family, wanting to take him in as his son-in-law - Sima Yi was about to refuse, but unexpectedly His father, Sima Fang, agreed without hesitation.Sima Yi was shocked and hurriedly raised an objection to his father.But his father analyzed to him: First, the Zhang family in Suyi has a simple and honest style, and Zhang Chunhua is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and has a family friendship with the Sima family, so it is absolutely appropriate for the two families to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin; Now that Sima Yi is pretending to be sick at home, he just uses this marriage to declare his obscurity to the outside world, showing that he has succumbed to the destiny, lived in seclusion in his hometown, married and retired, and stayed out of the mountains for a while, so as to quietly observe the changes in the current situation.Under his father's persuasion, Sima Yi had no choice but to make a fake show and marry Zhang Chunhua even though he was unwilling in every possible way.However, no matter what, this kind of marriage can't get rid of a faint shadow for Sima Yi: he knows that the one he really loves in his heart is not Zhang Chunhua from Suyi, but Fang Ying from Yecheng!Even though the war is raging and the flames are raging, Fang Ying is still missing, and she may have died in the war, but Sima Yi still has a special important place for her in the deepest part of his heart and harbors an inexplicable expectation ——So, since he got married, he has always felt that there is a piece missing in his heart, and he has never been able to resonate with the feelings that Zhang Chunhua devoted himself to him.And the more gentle, considerate and caring Zhang Chunhua was to him, the more apologetic Sima Yi felt towards her from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Sima Yi is still unclear at this moment—on the day he and Zhang Chunhua got married, his father Sima Fang and his father-in-law Zhang Wang reached a top-secret agreement guaranteed by the relationship between the two families: Suyi County The government posted a notice announcing that the Golden Knife Valley would be permanently designated as a forbidden area of ​​the county due to the presence of ghosts and evil things. Zhang Wang also promised to use the power of the county magistrate of Suyi at any time to protect the great secret of the Golden Knife Valley for the Sima family forever.

At this moment, a pleasant singing sound suddenly came from outside the window.Sima Yi turned his head and glanced at the source of the singing: Qingfu and Qingping sisters in the back garden are practicing their voices again!I don't know why, in recent years, my father has been looking around to recruit beautiful girls, and brought them into the mansion for daily singing, dancing and music - this is quite different from his previous self-disciplined and frugal style of not looking around!Probably because my father saw the turmoil in the current situation in recent years, and it was difficult to distinguish between tigers and dogs, so he couldn't help being a little physically and mentally exhausted, and he secretly kept a thought of enjoying himself in time!

Thinking of this, Sima Yin calmed down, and said to Zhang Chunhua who was sitting by the couch, "That's it...you don't have to go down to make any more white fungus soup, go to the study and get the volume of "Book of Changes". This is a good time with nothing to do, let's study the key points of Yi learning taught by Mr. Guan earlier..."

"Zhongda!" With an affectionate call, a familiar figure flashed in from the outside and caught Sima Yi's eyes.

"Brother Hu?" Sima Yi was in a trance, and couldn't help asking hesitantly - he never expected that his classmate and friend Hu Zhao from Spirit Dragon Valley would appear here at this moment!

"Zhongda, you..." In Sima Yi's tear-filled field of vision, Hu Zhao had strode to his couch, lowered his body and held his hands tightly, tears flickering in his eyes .

"The Master said: 'Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?'" Sima Yi bit his lips, struggling to suppress the trembling of his mood, and said slowly with tears in his eyes, "It's not easy for us two to be together today. Meet, why do you have to act like a son and daughter in love?"

"Not bad, not bad. We should really have a good time!" Hu Zhao wiped away the tears on his cheeks with the corner of his sleeve, and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a year or two, but your complexion is actually pretty good." !"

After hearing this, Sima Yi smiled, stretched out his right palm and patted his knees, and said lightly, "Yes! Although Yi looks good, his legs can't move..."

"This... Hu has already heard from Xun Lingjun in Xudu——Zhongda, you can invite some doctors who are proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion to take a look at this wind arthralgia..." Hu Zhao looked at him The knees stopped, and the voice suddenly dropped: "I think Zhongda was the most agile among all the students in Linglong Valley Ziyuan Academy back then. I didn't expect that a horse stumbled on the flat ground and threw you like this... Oh! What a god! Misfortune, Zhongda has suffered for you."

"Why did you go to Xudu to meet Lord Xun Ling?" Sima Yi couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard him mention Xun Yu suddenly, "You...you also heard him mention Yi?"

"That's right! A month ago, the Sikong Mansion sent a document calling for Hu to enter the mansion to be the secretary." Hu Zhao asked, and said politely, "Zhongda, you know Hu. Hu has always admired Mr. Guan Ning's quiet and secluded style, how could he be greedy for official vanity? Therefore, Hu rushed to Xudu to meet Mr. Cao Sikong. Since Chen Yijie is a wild man, he is really useless in the military and country, and begged to go back Cao Sikong was also a little strange, and asked Hu to see Xun Lingjun, saying that Xun Lingjun would let Hu go and leave on his own.

"With no other choice, Hu had to go to see Mr. Xun Ling. Mr. Xun Ling talked with Hu for half a day before answering: 'You are a clear and elegant talent, just like a crane in the clouds. High and self-defeating." Cao Sikong then approved a statement: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and his origins are different. He is respectful and elegant, and righteousness is not equal." Finally he let Hu go back to the mountain."

"It seems that both Cao Sikong and Xun Lingjun are very wise to understand people. They know your aspirations and interests, and they know that if they force you to detain you, it will be 'keep your body, but not your heart. '." Sima Yi nodded and said, "It's better to let you enjoy yourself in the rivers and lakes, enjoy yourself in the academy, and spread the word in the villages, so as to cultivate people and build foundations for the prosperity of Confucianism among the people in the grasslands!"
