Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1308: Sima's family affairs

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

  Thinking back in the past, Mrs. Cao wanted to recruit Sima Yi, but Sima Taifu refused because 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 desperation, and was seen by a maid at home.

  Zhang Chunhua was worried that Sima Yi's pretending to be sick would leak out and cause disaster, so he personally killed the maidservant to silence her.

   After killing the maidservant, he went to the stove to cook.

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

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

  Over the years, she has helped Sima Yi a lot, and she is highly valued by Sima Yi.

  Sima Yi respected and feared her.

  Only between husband and wife, love is common sense.

  Jing is okay to say, 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 Sima Taifu 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 is old and fading, and the powerful Sima Taifu is naturally tired of his wife.

  How can it be easy to get along with Zhang Chunhua?

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

  Thinking that Sima Yi had his own share of the credit for his status today, he never thought that he would be treated like this in the end.

  Holding her breath in her throat, she couldn't swallow it and couldn't vent it out, so she simply lay down on the couch, not saying a word, eating or drinking, ready to go on a hunger strike and wait to die.

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

  The daughter is married, Sima Shi is dead, Sima Zhao stays in Luoyang, only the 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, begging her 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 didn't care much.

   It wasn't until he learned that his son had passed out that he realized that the matter was serious, so 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. Regardless of Sima Yi's obstruction, he ran to Zhang Chunhua's place with his bare feet on the ground.

  Zhang Chunhua's hunger strike, and Sima Gan's unstable mental state, all of a sudden caused the Taifu Beppu to jump up and down.

  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 has to be in awe, so he naturally has a lot of prestige in Sima's family.

   Sima Zhao's wife, Wang Yuanji, who was an uncle and aunt, was also in Yecheng at this time.

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

  Sima Yi's other concubine, Mrs. Fu, has always respected and befriended Zhang Chunhua.

  Hearing this, I felt Wang Yuanji's filial piety, and 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 the old face was so hot that he couldn't hold it, and he couldn't help asking why Wang Yuanji, who took 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 handles internal affairs. This can be said to be a 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 mansion will be at odds, and the concubine will lose her filial piety."

  When Sima Yi heard this, he was shocked.

  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.

  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 my emotions, and my words were inappropriate, Wang Xijun, don't take it to heart."

  Zhang Chunhua remained motionless, not even opening his eyes.

  When Sima Yi saw her like this, his face twitched.

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

   This old thing!

  She was going to slap herself in front of everyone in order to get revenge for what she said to her earlier.

  If it was someone else, he would have left in a hurry.

   Those with a more violent temper, such as Huan Fan and his like, who can beat a pregnant wife's abdomen with the handle of a knife, are not surprised to be slashed directly in this situation.

   But who is Sima Taifu?

  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is also.

  Wear all women's clothing, care about this little thing in front of me?

  But seeing Sima Yi took a deep breath, in front of the concubine's room and sons, he bowed his hands to Zhang Chunhua who was on the couch, and bowed deeply:

   "Ma'am, I didn't cultivate my virtue. I said bad things to my wife before, but now I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

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

   "Why is Master Husband like this? The concubine is just tired and doesn't want 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. Please ask Madam to eat something anyway, so as not to worry all the people in the house."

   "Hurry up, Ziliang (that is, 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.

   "Aunt?"

  Sima Gan called softly.

  Zhang Chunhua shook his head:

"I'm not hungry."

   Sima Yi took a look, but 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, I'll help you up."

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

  She did not go to see 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."

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

   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.

  But Sima Taifu naturally has something to say about this.

  After this incident, he said to Mrs. Bai in private with some resentment:

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

  It means that there is nothing to regret when the old man dies. I just worry about hurting 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?"

  Besides 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 the road, 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 stopped the tears that were about to be spit out.

   "I heard that Grandmother..." Sima Zhao's eyes dodged, and he was a little confused, "I heard that Grandmother is in poor health, so I can't rest assured. In a hurry, this is..."

  When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately became angry.

  Sima Zhao saw that Sima Yi's expression was not right, so he 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, and dare not 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."

  Beginning to be annoyed that Sima Zhao left Luoyang without permission, Sima Yi was stunned again when he heard his son crying and saying these words.

   After a long time, he sighed a long time, put his hand on Sima Zhao's head, stroked his hair and said:

   "Your mother is fine, you should get up first and go see her."

  Sima Zhao finally stopped crying, and after saluting to Sima Yi, he will visit Zhang Chunhua.

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

   "Son, your mother is in a bad mood these days, I'm afraid she can't smell your body, and she should take a bath first before going."

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

  Looking at 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 would happen to Zhang Chunhua, and she was serving her grandmother in untidy clothes for the past few days. When she saw her husband-in-law coming, she couldn't help being both surprised and happy:

   "Alang, why are you here?"

   "I'll come and see my mother."

  Sima Zhao, who had changed and washed his clothes, said while looking at Zhang Chunhua who was half lying on the couch, and greeted:

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

  After losing 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 quickly explained:

   "Returning to Auntie, it was I who made my own claim and sent someone to deliver the letter to Luoyang."

   Then he looked at Sima Zhao again:

   "But I sent another letter the next day, only 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, but I didn't meet him."

   Sima Zhao stepped forward and held Zhang Chunhua's hand while speaking:

   "Mum, how are you feeling now? Is it okay?"

  Zhang Chunhua shook his head:

   "What can I do?"

  She looked outside the door, and then lowered her voice:

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

  When Sima Zhao heard the words, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Yuanji, then shook his head and comforted him:

   "Don't worry, mother, the arrangements have been made before the baby leaves Luoyang."

   As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment before saying:

   "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."

   Knowing a child is better than a mother.

   What's more, Zhang Chunhua is quite talented.

   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 the appearance of his son at this time, and hearing this 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.

  His heart that had been secretly suspended was finally let go.

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

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

  The son and daughter-in-law are under the same knee, Zhang Chunhua's gloomy mood finally relieved a little.

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

  As soon as Sima Zhao came out, he was notified by his servants who had been waiting outside for a long time, asking him to go see the Taifu immediately.

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

  Did not blame him for abandoning Luoyang as imagined, Sima Yi sat there, but with a gentle expression on his face, he motioned Sima Zhao to sit down, and then asked:

   "Before you came here, did you make arrangements for Luoyang?"

  When Sima Zhao heard the words, he immediately knelt down in front of Sima Yi again, with a painful expression on his face:

   "My lord, my boy is stupid, and I have failed my lord's expectations! After the eldest brother left, my boy was at a loss for the chaos in Luoyang, which caused Luoyang to fall into chaos. Please punish me."

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

  Seeing his thin face again, 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, and 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, but why... Sigh!"
