Huan Rong

Chapter 19

The cool wind passed through the corridor, and the clogs rattled.

Huan Rong walked all the way, seemingly calm on the surface, but in fact, only he himself knows.

In recent days, he has seen a series of actions by Sima Huan, and his feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.Called by the scumbag father today, the healthy servants who lead the way are all faces, and their hearts are even more uncertain.

Huanda Sima chose to meet him in the main room, not as if he wanted to talk to his father and son, but more like he had other plans.

Walking in front of the wooden door, Huan Rong stopped.Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the room.

Sima Huan held great power, but he was always thrifty.Compared with the residence of Princess Nankang and Huan Rong, this place is simply too simple.The standing screen bestowed by the emperor is probably the most valuable decoration.

At this moment, the standing screen is moved to the left, and two futons are placed opposite each other.

Huan Wen sat at the head, wearing a long black robe, his hair was tied up with a Ge scarf, and there was no jade around his waist, but he had a sword of the Han Dynasty.

Huan Rong dared not show cowardice and could not show cowardice.He stepped forward and saluted respectfully.There was a "sit" sound above his head, and he knelt down on the futon just now.His back was straight, his eyes drooped slightly, and he did not look at Huan Wen to show his respect for his elders.

Sima Huan didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at Huan Rong carefully.

For this young son, he didn't care much, and he couldn't get close to him due to various reasons.He was kept in Jiankang before because he was weak and not suitable to be taken with him; secondly, it was also for the world to see.

Even if the whole court knew that he was interested in the throne, after all, the window paper was not pierced.It is a gesture to keep the son-in-law in the capital, and it is a "reassurance" for the Jin family and the noble families who protect the emperor.

After all, according to common sense, both his wife and son are under the eyes of the emperor, so the possibility of Huan Da Sima directly using force is a little less.How long this window paper can last depends on the movements of the Hu people in the North, and the results of the wrestling between the Jiankang gentry and Huan Da Sima.

No matter who wins or loses, more than [-]% of Huan Rong will become an "abandoned son", and life will definitely not be easy.Huan Wen knew about this result, the gentry who fought against him knew it, and even Huan Rong guessed a thing or two.

Huan Da Sima punished Yu Xi and crippled Yu Youzhi's arm. He seemed to be venting his anger for his son, but in fact he had the taste of persecuting Yu Shi.

Assuming that Mrs. Yu couldn't take it anymore and made an "irrational" move first, it would be logical for him to go to war again.Taking advantage of the situation to involve Yin Juan, the counties and counties controlled by both will fall into Huan's hands.

Huan Rong is very unfortunate, not loved by his own father, but he has two functions of "proton" and "target".Now because of Xi Chao's comment, Huan Da Simati sneaked in front of him again, which is really stressful.

After a long time, Sima Huan finally spoke up and said, "I heard that the Confucian of the Zhou family once said that Azi is a good talent and a beautiful jade, with the ability to manage the world."

As soon as these words came out, Huan Rong's scalp tensed up, and the alarm immediately sounded in his heart.

"I'm back in Jiankang now, and I'm very relieved to see that you are more diligent in studying than in the past."

"My son is ashamed, I dare not praise you as a father." Huan Rong's voice was steady, but his forehead was faintly sweating.

"My son is too modest." Sima Huan said similar words to Princess Nankang, but Huan Rong had two different tastes in his ears, "I will return to my aunt in the middle of the month. I wanted to take your elder brother to the military camp for training."

Huan Rong lowered his head halfway and did not speak.

"However, he has no ambition in his chest and cannot be cultivated."

Huan Rong swallowed, and clenched his fists.

Sima Huan must have understood what Huan Yi said to himself before.So, does the other party know what he does on weekdays?Thinking of a certain possibility, Huan Rong's face instantly turned pale as if he was in a world of ice and snow.

As everyone knows, Huan Da Sima has been paying attention, and seeing his performance, he feels relieved.After all, I have not experienced storms and waves, and I am young and immature.Even if you are talented, you don't need to worry about it.

In this case, the previously selected location does not need to be changed.

Huanda Sima slowed down his expression, put away two points of evil spirit, and said: "You are fifteen years old, you have achieved success in studying, but you lack experience. I have already presented myself to the emperor and elected you as the county magistrate of Yandu County in Xuzhou. I will go to the post at the end of the month. "

Xuzhou?Arrive before the end of the month?

Huan Rong bit her cheek hard, desperately telling herself to calm down.

It is absolutely impossible to categorically refuse, and it is impossible to guarantee that Sima Huan will make two-handed preparations, and come to a "ambush of three hundred knives and axes, throwing cups as a sign".What's more, Sima Huan said with certainty that the imperial decree must have been drawn up and will be sent to Huan's mansion at any time.

It was useless to resist, the only thing he could do was to accept.As for the others, we can only take one step at a time.

"Son……"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.In less than a moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Princess Nankang in a silk dress and pleated skirt barged in.

The beauty was holding a sword, her beautiful face was full of anger, she obviously heard what Huan Wen said just now, she stopped in front of Huan Rong, her sleeve brushed over Huan Rong's shoulder, like a lioness guarding a cub, she shouted sharply: "Huan Yuanzi, tiger! Poisons do not eat children, you pretend to be a hero!"

Mrs. Li rushed over, knelt down behind Huan Rong, and saw his sweat-soaked neckline, she couldn't help showing worry.

"Why did Xijun say that?" Huan Wen sat steadily, even though he was pointed at by the sword, there was still no trace of anger on his face, "I don't quite understand."

"You don't understand? You don't understand?!"

Seeing Sima Huan pretending to be confused, Princess Nankang was furious.

"Gua'er was weak when he was young, and after a long time to raise him up, you let him go out to study! After returning to Jiankang for a few days, he was attacked secretly again, and almost lost his life! You know it clearly in your heart, but you have to protect the culprit !"

"Hu'er is close to Gua'er, you opened your mouth to take him to Guer, what kind of heart do you have?!"

"Now with Xi Jingxing's two comments, you want to drive Gua'er away from Jiankang again, and clear the way for your bastard!"

"Huan Yuanzi, do you have a heart, are you still human?!"

Princess Nankang reprimanded her, and all her former grace and luxury turned into raging anger, and she almost wanted to burn Da Sima Huan to ashes.

Huan Wen was still not angry, but said: "Your Majesty, I've said that."

The more he behaved like this, the angrier Princess Nankang became.The sword was pointed forward, almost reaching Sima Huan's throat.

The healthy servant outside the door broke in immediately, and was about to stop Princess Nankang.Huan Rong's heart tightened immediately, but Mrs. Li held him firmly, not allowing him to move.

"Back off!" Sima Huan shouted, "Take twenty army sticks yourself!"

"promise!"

The healthy servant didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly retreated to the corridor.

Duke Nankang took the initiative and did not move. He looked down at Sima Huan from a condescending height, and his anger became even worse.

"Xijun, Gua'er is my son, how could I harm him?" Da Sima Huan pushed away the sword, and Princess Nankang pointed it back again.

"Do you think I'm still Sima Xingnan back then?!"

"Xijun," Huan Wen said with a heavy sigh, "In ancient times, there was a grandson of the Gan family. He was the emperor of Qin in the year of dancing the spoon. In the previous dynasty, there were also children who were promoted to be filial and honest. They have done a lot in the place of officialdom. I love melons. My son's talent, if you want to cultivate it in him, how can you harm him."

"Xi Jingxing is a good man. I am very happy when I say that Gua'er has a great talent. But Gua'er is good at literature and Taoism. I was born in the army and I can't bear to bury his talent. That's why I went to the imperial court to choose him as the county magistrate of Yandu County. .”

"Xuzhou Inspector Xi Fang returned to Xiaoyazheng. He is known as a virtuous person. His son joined the army under my tent. If you know Gua'er's talent, you must cherish him. I have written to him a few days ago and entrusted him to take care of Azi."

"In the future, Gua'er will make meritorious deeds, and I can present myself to the emperor to promote him to the court."

I have to admit that Huan Da Sima's remarks are quite level.It's a pity that Princess Nankang didn't believe a word.

"I don't care about that, Gua'er can't leave Jiankang!"

Those bastards have unpredictable minds and insidious methods.Her son almost had an accident with her by her side. Princess Nankang couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be if Huan Rong left the capital!

Princess Nankang resolutely refused to let go, and even went to Taicheng to personally tear up the appointment that had not yet been sent.

"Gua'er has the title of county duke, just stay in Jiankang. Even if you become an official, you have to wait for him to be crowned!"

"My lord, this matter has been decided and cannot be changed."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Huan Da Sima's voice was getting lower and lower, Huan Rong sighed in his heart, pulled down Princess Nankang's sleeve, and said, "Mother, I would like to go."

"What?" Princess Nankang turned around with disbelief on her face.

Huan Rong knelt to straighten his body, first paid homage to Da Sima Huan, and then to Princess Nankang, and then said: "My father is happy and educated, and my son is grateful to my heart; my mother is kind, and my son will always remember my heart. My son is willing to go to Yandu County and live up to my father." The father cultivates, the mother loves."

After saying the words, I bowed again, my forehead touched the ground, and my heart was never calm.

What's the use of being afraid?Nothing will be gained except for showing cowardice.

Sima Huan made up his mind, and no one can change it.If Princess Nankang did this, not only would she not be able to get Huan Rong out, she might even lose herself.

People's hearts are fleshy, he may not have a noble character, but he can't watch his mother suffer for himself.

Anyway, I have to go, so it's better to be happy.

Whether he can do it or not, make meritorious deeds, and find ways to survive, he thinks he can still do it.

Assuming that it is a county under the control of Sima Huan, Huan Rong may not be quite sure.But Xuzhou's assassin was Xi Min, and Sima Huan didn't show up, so it was difficult for his brothers to have a chance to attack.

The aristocratic family has its own set of rules.

For the same consideration of the family, Xi Chao advised Sima Huan, but Xi Yin did not plan to board Huan's boat, and often took precautions with his son.He didn't want to be caught by Huan Wen and seize the territory under the pretext of "the sudden death of his son-in-law", the latter would definitely try to save Huan Rong's life.

Is this a different kind of protection?

Huan Rong closed his eyes and smiled wryly at himself.

With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.

Princess Nankang held back her tears, gently stroked the top of Huan Rong's hair, then turned to Sima Huan, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm in a hurry, my husband forgives me."

Huan Wen stood up, personally supported the princess's arm, and said gently: "Your Majesty is the same as before, and I miss you very much."

The husband and wife held hands, and Sima Huan laughed loudly from time to time.He also made it clear to his face that Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Murong would stay in Jiankang after giving birth.Their children will replace Huan Rong and continue to be the "reassurance" of the Sima family.

Seeing such a scumbag father, Huan Rong felt even more ironic.

It was night, and Sima Huan rested in Ma's room.

Princess Nankang leaned back on the low couch, stroked Huan Rong's hair over and over again, and said softly, "On the day you were born, it rained heavily in the city. Ten years later, I still remember it clearly... "

Huan Rong didn't move, leaning against Princess Nankang, said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mom, I will return safely."

No matter what Huan Da Sima's idea is, he will not let the other party get what he wants!

I wanted to seek peace and live my life honestly, but things backfired and troubles ensued.Since you can't avoid it, then catch up head-on.On the surface, it looks like a crisis, but if you change the angle, it may not be an opportunity to break the situation.

"The sea near Yandu County," Huan Rong said with a smile, "Auntie likes corals, I will build a ship and find some coral trees for Auntie. If it is good, Auntie will keep it. If it is not good, Auntie will Mother just smash it at will."

Princess Nankang smiled through tears, pointed at Huan Rong's forehead, and said, "Don't say such stupid things, it will make people laugh!"

Mrs. Li knelt on one side and said with a smile: "This is the filial piety of Mr. Lang. Others can't even envy you. My sister should be happy."

When the green smoke cleared, the plain hand gently moved the silver spoon, scooped up the fresh spices, and slowly poured them into the stove top.
