Chapter 185 quarrel
The husband and wife were awkward all the way. When they returned to the main house of Xiyuan side by side, Luo Shi still had a cold face and refused to show any color to her husband.
In fact, Luo Shi is grateful to her husband now. In her heart, she longs to get along well with her husband, but it is really difficult to get along with such a careless and indifferent husband.
It was okay not to have any hope for him in the past, but now once there is hope, the greater the hope, the greater the loss in my heart.
After thinking about it all the way, Sima Zhengren also figured out the reason for his wife's anger. After returning to the house, he dismissed the maid, then approached his wife and said in a flattering way: "It's all my fault. I don't understand your feelings. Is it right?" Bar?"
This husband is not stupid at all.
Luo Shi raised her eyes and looked at her husband's efforts to please him. She couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "I have never seen such a stupid person like you."
Seeing that his wife finally smiled at him, Sima Zhengren smiled naively and replied: "I am indeed not a delicate person. Fortunately, I married a wise and sensible wife like you. From now on, there is nothing I can do wrong. Just tell me calmly."
Luo Shi nodded and said, "It's good for a kid like you to be teachable."
The couple sat down opposite each other. Luo made a pot of fragrant tea and chatted with her husband over the tea.
It is said to be small talk, but in fact most of the time it is Luo who talks alone. Sima Zhengren is a slow talker and is extremely bad at chatting about family matters.
Luo Shi muttered: "I went back to my parents' home today. My Luo family has been rehabilitated, and the Luo Mansion has reopened its doors. Today I went back and saw that although the pavilions in the mansion are still the same, they are covered with moss and weeds. I feel really sad." Unspeakably uncomfortable.”
Sima Zhengren listened to his wife talking about Luo Mansion. He replied: "It's just weeds and moss. If you don't like it, just call a few servants from the mansion and clean it up." .”
Luo frowned when she heard this, and patiently explained to her husband: "It's not that I'm unhappy when I see those moss and weeds, but seeing this scene today made me feel the feeling of 'loneliness, coldness, and fragrance filling the courtyard. , Fushu Qingying invades the door's sadness, so I feel sad."
Sima Zhengren was even more confused when his wife was so docile.
But whether he understood or not was not the most important thing to him. As long as he did not annoy his wife, that was the most important thing. So, after hearing what his wife said, Sima Zhengren nodded casually and replied casually: "It's such a good poem. .”
Luo Shi fed the scalper with emotion. She shook her head helplessly, then put the matter aside and only asked her husband about serious matters.
“Have you sent the letter home I wrote to Chu Ge a few days ago to the person over there?”
Sima Zhengren replied: "Madam gave me the letter, and I sent it out early the next morning. Counting the time, Chu Ge should have seen Madam's letter by this time."
Luo Shi sighed heavily and said to himself: "I haven't seen my daughter for two or three years, and I don't know how she is now. Alas! I really miss her so much."
Seeing his wife complaining, Sima Zhengren replied in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you that everything is fine in Chu Ge? There is nothing else to worry about."
When Luo Shi heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry. She raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at her husband, and said angrily: "How can you, a father, understand what it is like to be a mother? My daughter is far away in a foreign country, and I am a mother." My heart is never at peace for a day."
As he spoke, Luo couldn't help complaining: "As the daughter of the Sima family, I, Ge'er, am really unfortunate."
"What are you talking about?" Sima Zhengren couldn't help but darken his face after hearing his wife's words, and replied in a deep voice: "Since we are children of the Sima family, we are destined to share the burden for the family. My mother originally had five sons. Of the one daughter, only my eldest brother and I were left in the end, and the other three sons all died in the battlefield, and even my youngest sister married off to the grassland for the sake of the Sima family, and ended up not having a good death."
As he spoke, he looked at his wife seriously: "Did you see that your mother complained?"
“If it weren’t for the progress and sacrifice of the descendants of the Sima family, I’m afraid our family would still be hunting in the mountains at this time and being bullied by the officials. Humph! How could we be where we are today.”
Luo is a well-educated person, so it’s not like she doesn’t understand these things.
It’s just that most women are proud of being favored. If it were in the past, Luo would never complain to her husband even if she had complaints in her heart.
But now, it is different.
Seeing that her husband was angry, Luo didn't dare to complain anymore, but she still kept a stony face and turned her head without saying a word.
As soon as Sima Zhengren said these words, he also realized the intensity of his words. He softened his tone and continued to his wife with a serious and thoughtful tone: "I know that you have been complaining that I don't love my daughter."
He glanced at his wife: "Let me tell you, in my heart, I love Ge'er and Cheng'er equally."
Sima Zhengren's love for his son Sima Cheng is obvious to all. It can be said that he treats his daughter the same as he treats his son.
Luo Shi didn’t believe it a hundred times.
She still didn't answer, she only raised her eyes and looked at her husband solemnly, and said to him with her eyes: Who are you lying to with this nonsense?
Sima Zhengren also saw what his wife meant, and he explained: "Don't believe it, but no matter how much I love Cheng'er, I will let him go into battle to kill the enemy in the future. All men in the Sima family belong to the battlefield, even though I know that swords have no eyes. , but I can’t make an exception for our son because of this. Similarly, even if I know that my daughter’s family will have no future and happiness in the palace, I will not make an exception for our daughter because I feel sorry for her.”
"I understand." Luo Shi finally spoke.
Sima Zhengren looked at his wife and asked, "What do you know? You really understand the hard work in this, as my wife."
Before her husband Xu Xu could continue, Luo Shi interrupted impatiently: "Don't say any more, I'll make it clear."
With that said, she left her husband behind, got up and went to the inner room, followed by Sima Zhengren. She grabbed her wife, as if she would not give up until she made it clear.
Although Luo Shi can understand her husband's painstaking efforts, this does not mean that she comes from a scholarly family and agrees with the cruel survival rules of the Sima family. Luo Shi does not want to listen to him anymore. Faced with her husband's persistent pursuit, she is so helpless. , in order to silence her husband, Luo Shi said: "It's getting late, let's take a rest."
This time, it was Sima Zhengren’s turn to be confused.
He looked out the window, then at the bed, and then his doubtful eyes fell on his wife.
He has always been anxious about this matter.
Although he was happy to see his wife taking the initiative, Sima Zhengren felt very aggrieved when he glanced at his wife's still expressionless face.
