Dawei Fanghua

Qin Liang pays close attention to the Sima family, but has never met anyone from the Sima family.Today is the first time I have seen him, but it is not the famous Sima Yi, who has not yet returned from leading his troops south to rescue Jingzhou, but Sima Yi's son Sima Shi, who is also very famous in Qin Liang's heart.

In the morning, Qin Liang did some paperwork and other trivial matters, and just came out of the Shangshu Province in Nangong.He took a road south of the three mansions (Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei) and passed by the gate of Sima's house in the Taifu Mansion, where he saw someone he knew.Deng Ai.

Deng Ai was following a tall man, and Qin Liang had already guessed that the tall man should be from the Sima family.But he didn't know him, so he just came forward and bowed, and then he and Deng Ai greeted each other, "Brother Shizai, are you okay?"

After all, we were talking, drinking and sitting together all night. Deng Ai also remembered Qin Liang and called him "Zhong Ming".

Deng Ai immediately recommended the people around him, "Sanqi Chang... often serves (third rank, the same level as Jiuqing) Sima Ziyuan." He then added, "Qin Zhongming, served in Yang...zhou, Yuzhou to observe the terrain of the farmland. I met Zhongming by chance in the pavilion, and he was also inspecting the mountains and rivers. Zhongming carefully inspected the terrain and hydrology, and he came up with many strange plans. In the battle of Shaopi, he made... great achievements, which is admirable."

Deng Ai still stuttered when he spoke, and it took a little patience to listen to him.

Qin Liang worshiped: "I have admired you for a long time."

With the introduction, Master Sima also bowed to him again and exchanged greetings.

Qin Liang paid close attention to this figure whom he had admired for a long time, and saw that he was very tall, but not fat but rather thin. He was probably in his 30s, with a long and narrow face.This person's appearance is easy to remember. He is taller than ordinary people and has a narrow face. These are his characteristics.

Those people who achieved great things recorded in history books often have "different looks", or they were born with strange phenomena. Is there really some truth to this?This Sima Master's appearance can also be considered a strange appearance.

Master Sima didn't talk too much, and seemed to be very straightforward in his work. He immediately said: "Go straight south, there is a wine shop. I am very lucky to meet Qin Zhongming today. Zhongming, would you like to have a few drinks with me?"

Qin Liang said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Master Sima said: "I'll go back to the house and put some things away. Zhongming will go to the restaurant to wait upstairs. I'll be back in a moment."

Qin Liang nodded in agreement.

So everyone said goodbye to each other.Qin Liang rarely drank outside. After walking for a while, he saw a wine shop with big characters on it. He asked Rao Dashan to wait outside and walked in to the second floor.

There were very few customers in this restaurant, and no one was seen upstairs.It seems that most of the service industry businesses in Wei are not doing well. The common people don't have much money, and gentry officials usually go to higher-end places, such as the official theater where Qin Liang went.

Qin Liang asked for a separate room and said he was waiting for someone, so he would have a bowl of tea first.

After a while, a young woman came in carrying a wooden tray. She knelt down in front of the case, and then slowly put the teapot and teacups on them.

Qin Liang always likes to see beautiful women, not to mention the clothes this girl wears are particularly thin.Of course, he mostly just looked at it, and it wasn’t wrong to look at it anyway.She was wearing a dress made of fine linen fabric. The fine linen was slightly transparent, so people could roughly see it at a glance.

But I don't know if it was because Qin Liang had been with Wang Lingjun these past few days, and Wang Lingjun raised his threshold. When he saw this young beauty in cool clothes, he didn't feel anything at all.He had no evil thoughts in his heart, only one thought: It was already late autumn, wouldn't he catch a cold if he wore this?

Indeed, whether the same woman is beautiful or not depends on the viewer's own mentality.Qin Liang estimated that if it hadn't been too long, even half a month ago, he would have thought this girl was beautiful.

Because there were only two people in the room, Qin Liang had nothing to do, so he took another look.He felt that this girl was not unattractive, her facial features were actually very symmetrical, she was young and good-looking, and her face was no worse than Chao Yun.

But she has a problem. Although the inner part of the top of the shirt is full, it is not in shape. She is not like Chao Yun who knows how to cover up. She can be seen clearly by others at a glance, so she has no sense of expectation.If it is covered up and modified, it can only be judged by others, but it can stimulate people's speculation.

Qin Liang was not a person who made generalizations. He paid attention to the girl's waist and hips again and felt nothing.There is indeed no fat, but the lines are too ordinary, feel a bit dry, and don't have much beauty.

So beautiful women can sometimes make people less interested.

The girl slowly laid out the things, as if she wanted Qin Liang to take a good look at them. Finally, she said, "Please use it slowly."

"Thank you." Qin Liang said politely.

When he heard the girl's voice, he thought it was ordinary. Her voice was a bit rough and not feminine.In fact, his sister-in-law Zhang's voice is also thick, but for some reason it sounds much better.

Qin Liang slowly drank the tea soup. After waiting for a long time, Master Sima finally opened the door and came in.Qin Liang stood up, and the two of them bowed in greeting. Because Master Sima was a high-ranking official at the level of Jiuqing, Qin Liang gave up his position.Then the wine flask, dried fruits and other items were served.

Master Sima was indeed a straightforward and decisive person. After having a drink with each other, he immediately said: "Zhong Ming is such a hero. When he first entered the general's palace, it was really a secret."

He said it so simply that Qin Liang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and thought to himself: So what did your Sima family do earlier?
By the way, earlier, these big nobles looked down on the relatives of the loser Qin Lang, and Qin Liang had big problems even wanting to become an official.Qin Liang's innermost thoughts are, although I don't like the Sima family and Cao Shuang, if I had a choice, I would definitely choose the Sima family. At least the worries about survival will not be that big.It is actually better for Cao Shuang to be an enemy, he is deceitful and kind at the same time, unlike your Sima family who are ruthless and sinister.

But at this time, Qin Liang had already tasted it, and he seemed to be worthy of being won over.

It's too late to say anything now. It's not only Cao Shuang's problem, but also Wang Ling's problem. Qin Liang can't get out of the car.However, Qin Liang still has no regrets at this time (it is useless even if he regrets). How can he covet the peerless beauty of other people's Wang family girls without paying any price?Isn't that Bai Piao?

It's just that Qin Liang felt that he couldn't offend Sima Yi too early. He didn't have much strength now. The longer he stayed, the better. It would be better if he could keep Sima Yi until he died of old age.Of course, all hope cannot be pinned on this method. After all, sometimes the situation is beyond our control.

Qin Liang quickly thought about it in his mind for a while, and then said: "The situation was forced by the situation at that time. If I don't serve as an official, I may fall into the hands of villains."

Master Sima's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of joy immediately appeared in his half-closed eyes, which was fleeting.This famous and powerful person seems to have some weaknesses. His emotions are a bit strong and easily agitated. He does not have the kind of mentality to ignore the collapse of the mountain.

After a moment of silence, Master Sima said: "The general's actions are hated by the nobles. My father has warned me many times, but it still has no effect. Zhongming should cherish his feathers more."

Qin Liang said calmly: "General, in difficult times, he takes servants as his companions, and the servants are grateful." He told the truth.If you want to make people believe what you say, you can't tell all lies. You must tell most of the truth and only adulterate in a few key places, so that it will sound more real.

Qin Liang continued, "But almost all the people around the general are hated by me. Among them, important ministers like He and Fan still have rifts with me. But me can do nothing."

Master Sima immediately moved his body slightly and came a little closer, "Don't pay too much attention to Zhong Ming. There are more than one or two people in the court, including the Taifu's Mansion, who appreciate Zhong Ming's talents. Zhong Ming must put the country first and use his talents To use it for the overall situation, there is no need to commit to one person.”

Qin Liang slowly knelt on the spot and bowed to him, saying, "I am so lucky to have you. It is even more lucky for the country to have the Imperial Tutor Mansion assisting Your Majesty."

Master Sima was a clear-headed person who did things without sloppiness. He immediately made further requests: "The Marquis of Nanxiang of the Wang family is a national scholar with a good reputation. Zhongming can give more assistance and give more advice."

Qin Liang said: "My uncle (Wang Ling) once praised the Taifu when he was in Huainan, and he seems to have a good relationship with him. The general is in charge, and my uncle may not want to interfere with the affairs of the Luoyang government. He just takes orders from the court."

It is indeed impossible for a person of Wang Ling's level and family status to seek refuge with anyone, but he just did not reject Cao Shuang's overtures.Wang Ling has never rejected the Sima family's overtures.

Cao Shuang is the auxiliary minister and actually one of the leaders. There is no one who is connected to Cao Shuang. So if you calculate it, most of the people inside and outside the court are Cao Shuang's people.After all, there are only a few people like Wei who obviously don't give Cao Shuang face.

Master Sima nodded in agreement.The two slowly drank the third round of wine, and Master Sima suddenly said in a deep voice: "Zhong Ming knows, why did General Qin lose his official position and was ordered to return home?"

Qin Liang frowned and said, "My servant and my clan brother are thousands of miles apart, and we haven't been in contact with each other for several years."

Sima Shi whispered in a low voice: "It is no secret that the auxiliary ministers initially appointed by Emperor Ming included General Qin. Later, Emperor Ming changed the order based on the 'advice' of others, and the original auxiliary ministers were in charge. The clan with military power was dissatisfied. If they wanted to enter the palace to inquire, only the civil servants inside and outside the palace could not stop him, but in the end no one could enter the palace. The general was in Luoyang at that time and was the general of Wu|wei in the Chinese and foreign armies."

Qin Liang showed an expression of sudden realization.

Master Sima glanced at him and said solemnly: "Zhong Ming is grateful for the kindness of the general. There is no need for it."

Qin Liang remained silent. He felt that there was no need to express his opinion on this matter.

Master Sima said no more, put down the wine glass and said, "By the way, if Zhong Ming likes the girl who served tea earlier, you can take her away."

What?Qin Liang was stunned again.It seems that this Sima family treats Qin Liang as a minor player, otherwise he should find a scarce resource.Just dragging a random woman over like that?

Even though Qin Liang felt that he might be in trouble, he did not regret marrying a girl from the Wang family, but he was unwilling to take the girl back, which would make the atmosphere in the warm and comfortable home tense.

At least for now, he actually wanted to have a good relationship with Master Sima, so he began to think of ways to tactfully remind Master Sima: Get someone better.

Qin Liang laughed softly and said: "There is a young woman who cooks in the servant's family. She is married, but Zhuo Jing has asked her many times. If I bring a beauty back like this, will I be in a hurry? Zhuo Jing (The Wang family) asked, what should the servant say about the origin of the girl?"

When Master Sima heard "Zhuo Jing asked", he no longer forced himself and had to smile bitterly.

Qin Liang said: "My servant appreciates your kindness for the time being. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will accept your favor again."

Master Sima nodded and said, "That's fine. If I have the opportunity to be a guest in Taifu's Mansion, as long as there is someone Zhong Ming likes in the manor, just say so, I will not be grudge."
