Sima Yi suddenly ran out. Xu Chu, who was guarding behind a pillar, immediately moved. When he saw it was Sima Yi, he couldn't help but frown.
Sima Yi still respected this guard who protected his 'master', so he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I have met Governor Xu."
Xu Chu looked at Wei Cheng angrily.
Wei Teng waved his hand, looking at Sima Yi who was as big as a kid, there was really nothing he could do with a kid like him.
"Where's your dad?"
Seeing that Wei Cheng was talking to him, Sima Yi raised his eyebrows proudly at Cai Heng who was standing aside, cupped his hands and responded: "Master, my father went to Yuzhou a few days ago. During these few days, he should be worshiping his ancestors in his hometown in Hanoi.
"
"It's such a big deal to worship ancestors, then why don't you go back?" Cai Heng asked angrily.
Sima Yi curled his lips, glanced at him, cupped his hands towards Wei Cheng and said, "Father said that the world outside is in chaos, so I should stay by Master's side with peace of mind. I will be wherever Master is, so that he can rest assured."
Wei Cheng gave a wry smile. Sima Fang had really let himself go since he resigned. No wonder he was able to give birth to eight great children. He was also open-minded by nature, otherwise he would not have lived to be more than seventy years old.
Wei Cheng met Sima Fang once, and she had a good impression of Sima Yi as his father, but that was all. This little guy Sima Yi was too dangerous, and she was afraid that he would play tricks on his precious son in the future.
"Okay, okay, since he is Mr. Jiangong's son, let him sit down and have something to eat together." Cai Yan still respected Sima Fang. Sima Fang loved to read the biographies of famous officials in "Han Shu" and satirized him.
He has chanted hundreds of thousands of words, and his status among officials is not low.
Wei Cheng frowned slightly, his original intention was to tell Sima Yi to get out, but he didn't expect Cai Yan to have a good impression of Sima Yi just for Sima Fang's sake.
No wonder, after all, Wei Cheng looks at people from the perspective of future generations, and now Sima Yi is just an eleven or twelve-year-old child. It is difficult for people to be too harsh on him, especially Cai Yan, who teaches at Heluo College.
Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to Cai Yan, "Thank you, Mistress, for giving me a seat."
Cai Heng just stood up, and Sima Yi, with quick eyes and quick hands, directly sat down in Cai Heng's position, which was next to Wei Cheng.
"Hey, you, you..."
"What are you doing? Don't disturb my master by shouting and yelling. Don't you have a seat?"
Cai Heng looked at the seat indicated by Sima Yi. It was opposite his second sister Cai Jue and was the lowest position.
Cai Heng pointed at Sima Yi's position unwillingly, "I, I..."
Sima Yi picked up the wine flask and refilled Wei Cheng's wine while saying disdainfully: "What am I? How old am I? Why do I stumble when I speak?"
Indeed, compared to Sima Yi, who is a little kid, Cai Heng is really like a child who has never seen the world, unable to control his emotions and express his thoughts well.
This is also what Cai is worried about. As the next head of the Cai family, Cai Heng has obviously not been able to meet the family's expectations.
This is also the main reason why Cai Yong specifically asked his younger brother to propose that Cai Heng follow Wei Cheng as a deputy.
When children are playing around, adults are not allowed to interrupt.
In the end, Cai Yan felt sorry for his brother and asked him to sit next to him.
Not long after, the restaurant owner brought a few boys and brought them some good wine and meat.
Sima Yi opened his eyes wide when he saw a table full of delicacies that he had never eaten before.
The food in front of me was specially prepared by Aunt Niu. After all, we were entertaining the Cai family's elders, so the food must not be too shabby.
Seeing Sima Yi drooling uncontrollably, Wei Cheng finally felt like treating him as a child.
"Okay, eat whatever you like, don't hold back." Wei Cheng drank a glass of wine and said with a smile.
Sima Yi didn't have any hobbies, but it was delicious. After hearing this, he thanked him respectfully, grabbed a piece of braised lamb's hoof and started to chew it.
Although Cai Heng, who was sitting at the bottom, was also greedy, he hated Sima Yi even more for taking his position.
At this time, seeing Sima Yi looking like he was reincarnated as a starving ghost, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Huh, no wonder you are so disrespectful. There is a famine in the city now, and you still have the nerve to eat and drink here... It is simply an insult to politeness."
Although the voice was small, everything that should be heard was heard.
Cai Yan's face suddenly dropped. It was for the sake of her family's reputation that she specifically asked Wei Cheng to arrange for Aunt Niu to cook these delicious dishes. She mainly wanted to express her husband's enthusiasm and generosity to her family.
Cai Heng didn't know yet that he was obviously scolding Sima Yi, but in fact he was scolding his sister and brother-in-law as well.
Cai Heng looked around, contentedly waiting for the elders to exaggerate and praise him for his great awareness of caring about the country and the people.
Unfortunately, he was the only one here with a smile on his face.
Wei Cheng drank by himself, his expression always calm.
The two elders of the Cai family were already so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, especially Uncle Cai who also loved eating like Sima Yi. He was also chewing on a sheep's hoof.
At this time, Sima Yi swallowed the meat in one gulp, looked up at Cai Heng, and said with a smile: "Who told you that there was a famine in Hedong?"
Cai Heng didn't notice the changes in other people's faces. He reached out and took out a copy of "The Great Han Dynasty Dragon and Tiger List" from his arms and showed it, "Of course my brother-in-law told me. Could it be that my brother-in-law's words could be wrong?"
Cai Heng looked at her brother-in-law Wei Cheng with pride. Unexpectedly, Wei Cheng was smiling while sipping the wine and chatting with her second uncle about household matters. She didn't pay any attention to what he meant...Brother-in-law, why didn't you look at me?
Sima Yi glanced at Wei Cheng and saw that Wei Cheng had no intention of stopping him. He immediately became interested, wiped off the grease on his hands with a rag, walked up to Cai Heng, and snatched the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han" over.
"Come on, come on, let me tell you what it says, lest you be so ignorant and ruin my master's reputation later."
"You don't need to tell me, I can read on my own!"
Sima Yi turned around to avoid Cai Heng's hand and sneered: "Literacy doesn't mean anything. In my opinion, you might as well be illiterate. You still have the nerve to say that my master has no ability to cause famine in Hedong, huh!"
Cai Heng was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and hurriedly defended himself to Wei Cheng: "I didn't mean to slander my brother-in-law, I, I just..."
Sima Yi opened an article about the food shortage in Hedong, pointed to the word "Luoyang", and asked: "Come on, you said you are literate, then tell me, what does the food shortage in Hedong have to do with Luoyang? Why did Master want to do it in such a short period of time?"
In a few hundred words, Luoyang was mentioned seven times?"
Cai Heng was stunned on the spot. He took the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" and counted it carefully. Really, in the article of several hundred words, the word "Luoyang" appeared seven times, more than Hedong and Anyi.
many.
"Yes, why is that so?" Cai Heng looked at Wei Cheng in confusion.
Wei Cheng was also looking at him, and when he saw him like this, he shook his head helplessly.
No matter how much he disliked Sima Yi, he had to admit his intelligence. He had seen through his plot at a young age and was much smarter than the adults in the city who were rushing to buy food.
