"As long as you admit your mistake to your father, your father will take you out!"
"I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I admit my mistake? I don't care whether he comes or not, and I don't want to get out. He can be locked up as long as he wants."
Jiang Min implored her daughter to admit her father's mistake.
Sima Lian is going to fight her father to the end this time. Even if she is beaten to death by her father and imprisoned for the rest of her life, she will not admit defeat.
"You and your father are like stubborn donkeys."
The father and daughter have the same temperament.
Jiang Min had no choice but to say good things to both sides.
………………………
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Sima Ao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went for a walk.
In the bright moonlight, Sima Ao saw a familiar figure walking out of the woodshed.
"It's late at night, if you don't sleep, why are you running to the woodshed?"
Sima Ao called out to that familiar figure. That familiar figure is none other than his own student, Monkey Boy.
Houwa looked slightly panicked and replied: "Ye Liang, I was afraid that my junior sister would be cold, so I gave her a quilt."
Sima Ao could see the panic in the monkey boy's heart, he glanced at the monkey boy and said nothing.
When the monkey boy saw that Sima Ao didn't speak, he begged: "Teacher, can you spare my junior sister this time? Although my junior sister is brave, the woodshed is simple and shabby. It's pitch dark at night. A girl's house will scare my junior sister." ."
Sima Ao glanced at the firewood shed and said deeply: "A teacher has his own sense of propriety, you go back to sleep first!"
Monkey didn't dare to say any more, so he said yes and went back to his room to sleep.
The moment the monkey boy turned around to leave, Sima Ao called out to the monkey boy again.
Sima Ao asked the monkey boy in confusion: "All the brothers and sisters have gone to join Mr. Liu to take this opportunity to display their talents and realize their ambitions. You are the only one who is not moved. Why?"
"Students feel that they have no talent and just want to stay in the college and take care of their teachers."
"Are you really willing to stay in the academy for the rest of your life?" Sima Ao shook his head gently, not believing what Houwa said.
"At least until the teacher is still alive, the students will not leave the academy. There are also students who do not think that joining Prefect Liu is an opportunity to show their talents, because the students do not think that Prefect Liu will be a wise king."
When the monkey boy said this, his eyes were sharp and his words were firm.
"oh?"
Sima Ao looked at the monkey baby in surprise, and at the same time his eyes were filled with relief for the monkey baby.
The scene of entering the city in the wilderness came to mind again.
An officer guarding the city stood silently on the city tower, looking pitifully at the longing and pleading eyes under the city gate. For the sake of the people in the city, the officer reluctantly ordered the soldiers guarding the city to fire arrows to drive away the refugees fleeing from the city gate.
In the end, many refugees were injured by arrows and had to leave sadly!

Jiang Min brought food to her daughter again.
The woodshed was not only dark, it didn't even have a bed, just a pile of straw.
As a mother, Jiang Min felt sorry for her daughter but also felt guilty. As soon as she came in, she asked her daughter if she slept well last night.
Sima Lian didn't want to worry his mother, so he lay down with his hands spread out, picked up a piece of grass, put it in his mouth, and said playfully: "I slept so soundly last night!"
Jiang Min looked at his daughter with a playful expression hesitantly. "It's dark, are you afraid of sleeping alone in the woodshed?"
"I will enter the world in the future, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Sima Lian shrank her neck and replied.
This sentence was not spoken by her daughter for the first time. Jiang Min shook her head helplessly.
"What a girl has to do is stay at home, take care of her husband and raise children, and think about fighting and killing all day long." Jiang Min scolded her daughter while bringing out the food.
Sima Lian did not agree with her mother's point of view. Sima Lian does not agree that women should only revolve around their husbands and sons. Women should also have ambitions and ideals, and have the world in mind. Women can do what men can do.
In order to convince her mother, Sima Lian stood up from the straw and spoke her thoughts impassionedly.
"Mom, you misunderstood. In addition to killing people, they also rob the rich, give to the poor, and support justice."
"Mom doesn't want you to have any lofty ideals. She just wants you to marry a good man, raise a husband and raise children, and run the college that your father gave you." Jiang Min said to her daughter Sima Lian sincerely.
Sima Lian was unwilling to stay on this hillside for the rest of her life. "Mom, Lian'er's heart is not in the academy."
"What's wrong with the academy? Your father worked so hard to establish the academy. If you don't guard it for your father, who will guard it for your father?" Jiang Min looked at her daughter indifferently.
"Mom, I know. I know that the academy is my father's life-long effort, and I also know that my purpose in founding the academy is to save the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty has perished. My father's unfinished wish cannot be forced on me. I have my own I want to see different scenery. I only know that the desert is desolate, but I have never been there. They say that the East China Sea is mysterious and choppy, but I don’t even know which direction it is. I want to see the silent West Lake; I want to see the ancient road with thin horses in the west wind; I want to see the beautiful icebergs; in short, I want to see a different sky."
Sima Lian believed that her father owed her mother, because her mother's heart was full of her father and she lived only for him all her life. On the contrary, her father's heart not only held the Tang Dynasty, but also his godmother (Jingjing); the position left to her mother was too great. not enough.
While Sima Lian was thinking endlessly about the dreams in her heart, she looked at her mother with distressed eyes, which not only showed her heartache for her mother, but also showed her unworthy grievance.
Jiang Min couldn't understand her daughter's so-called lofty ideals, so she could only sigh helplessly!
"Mom, don't you feel wronged by marrying me?"
The daughter suddenly asked, Jiang Min paused!
In fact, this is not the first time Sima Lian asked her mother.
Jiang Min said to her daughter slightly displeased: "Please don't use your standards to think about mother. Mother doesn't feel wronged. Being able to be with your father is your mother's greatest happiness. Mother knows that you want to see different scenery. ; But you don’t know that mom just wants to be with your dad and watch the sunrise and sunset every day.”
Sima Lian was stunned for a moment as she had never seen her mother so angry.
"Okay, the dishes are cold, let's eat first."
Sima Lian was about to take the chopsticks handed over by her mother, but when she heard that it was made by her father, she stopped and said firmly: "I won't eat it."
"Why don't you eat again?"
Seeing that her daughter was still angry, Jiang Min shook her head weakly.
"Dad, if you have a daughter in your heart, you should listen to my thoughts and respect my decisions. Instead of locking me here and cooking a table of delicious food behind your back. What does this mean? You want me to Do you want to give in and admit defeat? No, I will not admit defeat."
"Your father won't let you join Mr. Liu. It's all for your own good. You can't resent your father."
"It's good for me, it's good for me, you can say anything for my own good. Mr. Liu personally came to ask dad to come out, which shows how sincere Mr. Liu is. It's just that dad doesn't want to go out, he also pretended to be stupid and sick to deceive Mr. Liu, we want to defect to him Mr. Liu won’t give it either.”
"Your father doesn't let you go, so of course your father has his own reasons."
"What's the point? The other brothers allow me but not me?" Sima Lian became angrier as she spoke.
"That's because he is your father. Which father in the world is willing to watch his daughter die." Jiang Min said to her daughter.
"Prefect Liu has won the support of the people, has a powerful army, and the wise men in the world have defected to him. How can he be defeated?"
"This? Mother doesn't understand either."
