Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 83
When the Confucian scholar in Qingshan heard the word "Cao Zhi", he couldn't help being moved: "So the young master is the son of Prime Minister Cao! I'm being rude." Cao Zhi introduced Cao Pi and Cao Zhendao to him: "This is my elder brother Cao Pi. This is my elder brother Cao Zhen. We met Xiongtai today, it is really called "making friends through literature", but I don't know the name of Xiongtai Gao?"

The Confucian scholar in green shirt stood up and cupped his fists deeply, and said, "I have offended you a lot just now, please forgive me. Sima Yi in Hanoi, the current literary chief of the prime minister's office, is frivolous and ignorant, and makes irresponsible comments on the merits and proses of the virtuous lords. It's really ridiculous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "clang" in the private room, as if something had been broken, and at the same time, there was a faint cry full of surprise.

When Sima Yi heard this delicate exclamation, his heart was also secretly shocked: This voice is so familiar!I also heard this voice chanting poems just now, and I had some doubts at that time... It is so similar to her voice! ... No, no, no!It won't be hers!She had already died in the flames of war... How could it be her?He gritted his teeth secretly, suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart, and quietly looked at Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen and the other three in front of him.

"Sima Yi? So you are Sima Yi?" Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhen looked at each other for a while, with complicated expressions on their faces.It seems to be very unexpected, and it seems to be very pleasantly surprised, and there is also a hint of appreciation and admiration.

Sima Yi was also at a loss, not understanding why their reactions were so weird.

"Mr. Sima, I have admired you for a long time!" Cao Pi walked forward with his hands behind his back, walked around him, looked him up and down several times, and then said with a smile, "That guy Huan Fan blows you like Yan Hui!" Reincarnated——From my point of view, you are not a tall man with three heads and six arms! However, the appointment of you as a literary chief by your father can be said to be in line with your talent. You just commented on the strengths of poetry and literature, and you are indeed well-educated. Yuan! As expected of being from a famous Confucian family, Mr. Guan Ning’s high disciple—Pi has to obey today!”

"Huan Fan? Brother Huan?" Sima Yi was startled, "You guys know him too?"

"We not only know Mr. Huan Fan, but also very close!" Cao Zhi also said with a smile, "He often mentions you, Mr. Sima, to us brothers——Brother Huan is such a noble and arrogant person, and he also praises you I can’t stop talking, saying that you are "a man with great ambition, great talent, deep insight and wisdom, and a rare one"! Just now I heard Mr. Sima talk about literature and art, which shows that Mr. Sima is indeed a man of great knowledge. Zijian really admires Mr. Sima extreme."

Cao Zhen also smiled and explained to Sima Yi: "Sima Jun—Huan Fan and our Cao family have always been fellow villagers in Pei County and old friends. In the past seven or eight years, our two children have often been friends and get along with each other...Brother Huan is indeed I highly praised you in front of my brothers. Seeing Sima Jun's literary talent today, I really deserve Brother Huan's praise!"

Sima Yi felt a warmth in his heart, and Huan Fan's handsome and serious face seemed to appear in front of his eyes, his eyes became wet and blurred: "How can I be worthy of brother Huan's ridiculous praise?"

"Mr. Sima, you deserve Huan Fan's praise. Just because of your tactful and understanding way of dealing with people, you are far better than him!" Cao Pi laughed, "In Pi's opinion, anyone who has Those with great talents are mostly those who rely on their talents and are arrogant; and Sima Jun, although you have great knowledge, you are different from ordinary rotten Confucian madmen. !"

What he said was very meaningful.Although Huan Fan is a good friend from his hometown, Huan Fan has always been aloof and aloof, and he considers himself a teacher. As long as he catches some of his shortcomings, he will teach him a stern lecture without mercy-so, even though Cao Pi knows Huan Fan's talent Virtue is extremely worthy of admiration and study, but in the bottom of my heart, I can't like it anyway.However, the Sima Yi that Huan Fan strongly admired to him was really extraordinary.Although his reasoning and reasoning is that Guijiao has not disappeared, but he is modest and restrained, I don't know how many times more reasonable than Huan Fan!When he thought of this, his heart moved secretly. This Sima Yi is not only the younger brother of his father's former "big red man" Sima Lang, but also so talented, knowledgeable, polite and polite, so he is worthy of friendship.Immediately, he felt a little bit of solicitation and acceptance, but it was not easy to announce it immediately, and he just waited for the opportunity to make a move in the future.

At this time, Cao Zhi was already opening his mouth to invite Sima Yi: "Mr. Sima, if you don't give up, Zhi and others respectfully invite you to come to Naya Room to discuss the way of the world's canons and literature."

When Cao Pi heard this, he hurried forward and stretched out his hand to carry him: "Yes! Yes! Yes! I have heard for a long time that Sima Jun is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he knows the past, the present and the present. If I can talk and communicate with you, it will be the luck of my life!"

Sima Yi smiled slightly, and Fang wanted to answer, he raised his eyes to look behind him, suddenly his expression changed, and he grabbed Cao Pi's hand, causing his body to slump down, and shouted loudly: "Young master, be careful! "

Before the words were finished, Cao Pi only heard a sharp "whoosh" passing by his ears - when his heart was beating wildly, he saw the cold light "chih" sinking into it at a glance. On the left shoulder of Sima Yi in front of him, a bright red flower of blood splashed out immediately!
While he was in a trance, Cao Zhen's energetic voice beside him made his eardrums ache: "Catch the assassin!..."

Bitter meat plan

In the living room of Sima's Mansion, there are paintings hanging on the four walls, such as "climbing high, you must feel inferior, traveling far, you must be proud", "if you want to be established, you must first establish others, if you want to achieve yourself, you must first achieve others", "if you are poor, you must first achieve others". The calligraphy and paintings of classics and mottos such as "righteousness, upholding the Tao", "self-cultivation to the world, virtue to the people", etc., are full of a kind of literary freshness unique to Confucian aristocratic families.

Cao Pi sat on the seat, looked carefully at all the decorations here, and said in his heart: No wonder Brother Sima Yi is so knowledgeable and talented, it turns out that the spirit of books and eagerness to learn are everywhere in their house!The reputation of this famous Confucian family and poetic family did not come out of thin air... Thinking of this, his admiration for Brother Sima Yi couldn't help but increase a little bit.

A sound of footsteps came from far and near, and he looked up, only to see Sima Yi's eldest brother, Sima Lang, the head of the prime minister's residence, coming out from behind the screen wall in the hall.

"My lord, you have come here with honor. Lang is too far away to welcome you. You are rude." When Sima Lang saw Cao Pi, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to salute, "That servant of the mansion really deserves to die—he only People from the prime minister's residence were reported to come to meet, but your name, the eldest son, was not reported."

"Master Sima, you don't have to be too polite." Cao Pi got up and saluted him, waved his hand and said, "It was Pi himself who deliberately didn't give the name of the servants in your house. I don't want to bother you too much."

"Young Master treats our Sima family with such courtesy, Lang really cannot forget it!" Sima Lang blinked his eyes, and there seemed to be tears flickering.

"Is Zhongda okay? How is his arrow wound? Is there any serious problem?" Cao Pi then turned to the topic and asked Sima Lang like a cannonball.

"Lang Dai Zhongda thank you for your concern." Sima Lang said with tears in his eyes, choked up, "The doctor is still applying medicine to Zhongda to heal his wounds... It is really thanks to the eldest son that the arrow missed Zhong Da’s vital point. However, Zhong Da might not be able to recover within ten days and half a month this time... Eldest Young Master, where did the assassin come from such a vicious assassin to put you all to death, Eldest Young Master?”

"Well... the assassin who was captured alive has already confessed. They are the remnants of the rebels of the Yuan family in Hebei. Zhongda sacrificed his life to save him—otherwise Pi's life would have been lost!"

"Why did the eldest son say this? This is Zhongda's duty as the eldest son. You don't have to be so polite." Sima Lang reached out to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and said solemnly, "Our Sima family stands on loyalty and righteousness. It has been handed down from generation to generation, even though Zhong Da really splattered five steps of blood and decapitated for the sake of the eldest son, he died a worthy death with no complaints or regrets!"

Hearing this, Cao Pi couldn't help being moved so much that his heart ached. Crystal tears rolled down his cheeks one after another. He bent down and bowed deeply and said, "Pie will remember the great kindness and virtue of the Sima family, and I will always remember it." Don't forget!"

Sima Lang was so startled that he hastily slanted to the left to avoid it, bowing again and again: "Young Master, you can't do it! You can't do it! ——Young Master escaped the catastrophe this time, it's really auspicious, how dare our Sima family covet the merits of the heavens?" ?”

Cao Pi didn't say much, he pushed out a red lacquer wooden box from behind, and said to Sima Lang: "This is 500 taels of gold and [-] catties of jewels. It's a mere gift, and it's not a thank you. It's just Zhongda's medicine to heal his wounds—" —Please accept Master Sima!"

When Sima Lang saw it, he thought to himself: Good job, Cao Pi!Do you think that this mere box of gold and jewelry can completely settle this matter?He changed his mind, and felt that rejecting his thank you gift on the spot would make him suspicious, so he chuckled and said, "Eldest Young Master, you are so polite! How dare Lang accept such a generous gift? The eldest son should take it back."

Cao Pi's face became serious, and his tone became a little harsh: "Master Sima thinks that this gift from Pi is not rich enough, or does he simply look down on Pi's act of gratitude? If you continue to reject it, Pi will have no choice but to give it to you." Take it out and throw it into the Furong Pond to feed the fish!"

"Oh! Look at what the eldest son said...Lang will accept it for the time being." Sima Lang couldn't help replying with some panic when he heard it, "Lang and the others are really ashamed of it—a mere trifle has changed Thank you so much for coming to the Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Master is also a benevolent and virtuous scholar! Your generosity and love for others is simply unmatched!"

When Cao Pi heard him praise himself so much, his heart felt as sweet as drinking honey, and he couldn't help showing a bit of complacency on his face.

Sima Lang glanced at him secretly, thought for a moment, then picked up pleasant words and continued: "Eldest Young Master has turned a bad luck into good fortune, and he will surely be blessed and prosperous in the future. With the kindness of the Eldest Young Master, With the blessing of the eldest son, it can be said that "golden scales are not a thing in a pond, but when they take the time, they will transform into a dragon"--Lang and others are looking forward to your success in everything!"

"Master Sima, if there is such a day when the sky is skyrocketing and happiness is overwhelming, Pi will never forget your brother Sima's kindness in helping those in need..." Cao Pi was overjoyed for a moment, and said casually, "Pi is the eldest son of the father. I will surely keep your important position as Master Sima, and you will stand like a mountain forever."

Sima Lang secretly sneered in his heart, but there was no sign of strangeness on his face, and he bowed with extreme humility and replied: "Since that is the case, Lang thank you for your kindness and kindness, my lord—come here! Give me the gift I prepared for you Bring it up!"

I saw Sima Yin walking up the hall holding a two-foot-square red sandalwood box in both hands.

What is this?Cao Pi looked at Sima Lang with doubts in his eyes.

"This is a wish from my Sima family, I hope the eldest son will not dislike it." Sima Lang waved his hand after speaking, motioning Sima Yin to open the box.
