Tongluo Lane is an ordinary alley in Luoyang City, but because Taifu Sima Yi's residence is located in Tongluo Alley, this ordinary alley becomes extraordinary again.

This mansion of the Sima family was given by Cao Cao himself when he was still alive. At that time, Sima Yi was still the Taiwei of the dynasty, so the house was called Taiwei's Mansion at that time. Now that Sima Yi has been promoted to Taifu, naturally the house is called

Become the Taifu Mansion.

Tongluo Lane is privately known as Sima Lane.

Tongluo Alley is adjacent to Tongtuo Street. Compared with the wide and prosperous Tongtuo Street, Tongluo Alley is much narrower and deserted, which makes it a bit quiet in the bustle.

Sima Yi liked this mansion very much because it was relatively low-key and reserved yet luxurious. There was stillness in the movement, movement in the quietness, and the movement and stillness complemented each other. It was very similar to Sima Yi's own low-key and forbearing style.

It has been ten years since the Sima family moved to Tongluo Lane.

Although there are wealthy families like the Sima family in Tongluo Alley, the ordinary Tongluo Alley is quiet and dull, which is very different from the bustling General's Mansion.

However, people who got up early this morning found that the peace and tranquility of Tongluo Alley had been completely broken. Carriages coming from all directions almost blocked the entrance to Tongluo Alley.

These carriages are not ordinary carriages. They are all luxuriously decorated. The carriages are either made of rosewood or mahogany. Even the curtains hanging on the windows are made of expensive Shu brocade. The horses pulling the carriages

The horses are also all extraordinary horses. They are either great horses from Dawan or treasures beyond the Great Wall.

Needless to say, the passengers on these carriages were all dignitaries of the day and had high status.

The entrance of Tongluo Alley is so narrow that even the most luxurious horse-drawn carriages cannot get in. The stewards of Sima Mansion are very busy, so they can only arrange for these carriages to be parked on Tongtuo Street.

Parking spaces on Tongtuo Street are now extremely scarce. Guests who come earlier can at least park not far from Tongluo Lane. Guests who come further away can only park farther away.

Okay, get off the car and walk to Taifu's Mansion.

We had just arrived at Mao Shi, and there was already a huge crowd of guests going to Taifu's Mansion. All of these guests were Eguan Bodai, chatting and laughing, and they all felt that they were invited by the Sima family to attend the wedding.

It's a great honor.

Although Master Sima has been married for the third time, this is the first time such a grand wedding has occurred.

After all, when Sima Shi married his wife for the first time, Sima Yi's status was not that noble, and the scale of the wedding was not too big. When he married Wu Zhi's daughter for the second time, Sima Yi was still in the Longxi Army, busy

In the final deal with Zhuge Liang, they didn't even care about Sima Shi's marriage, so the wedding was even more sloppy.

But this time Sima Shi married again, and the situation changed a lot.

The first is the improvement of Sima Yi's status. Now Sima Yi is honored as Taifu, ranking above the three princes. You don't care whether he has real power or not, but his noble status is real. As an assistant to the government and a minister of life, Sima Yi is now in

His status in the court was second only to General Cao Shuang, and he was a person that many civil and military officials needed to look up to.

With this important identity, it was impossible for Sima Yi to keep a low profile even if he wanted to. For example, the banquet list this time was very troublesome for Sima Yi. He had to think twice about who to invite or not. Originally, he only planned to invite three people.

There were two hundred people, but in the end it became nearly a thousand people. It was really a helpless move.

Except for his disciples and former officials, as long as they were ministers with no grievances, Sima Yi could not exclude them. After all, Sima Yi's job was to win people's hearts, so how could he offend some people because of a wedding?

Even if these people were not closely related to the Sima family, Sima Yi could not turn them away out of courtesy considerations.

Therefore, during this period of time, it has become a great honor to get an invitation from the Sima family. Even if you have to pay a membership fee to attend the wedding, no one complained because of this.

On the contrary, those who had not received the invitation had a dark face all day long, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of dollars and had not paid back, and they were extremely depressed.

Marriage between wealthy families is often regarded as a political alliance. Everyone knows this well. The Sima family's status in the court is already at its peak. If there is another marriage with the Yang family this time,

That power is even more immense.

Those who tried to marry the Sima family and the Yang family all came to congratulate them with heavy gifts. There were mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, which was a good opportunity for the Sima family to make money.

Shangshu Cao Dianshi Yang Chi was only a seventh-rank petty official, and he was not a disciple of the Sima family. However, he was lucky enough to get an invitation from the Sima family this time. He was so excited that he almost stayed up all night. In his opinion,

Anyone who can win the favor of the Sima family may have the opportunity to become a successful person in the future.

Although General Cao Shuang is in a higher and more powerful position, the threshold there is too high, and ordinary people cannot reach it even if they want to. The people Cao Shuang re-employs are his direct descendants, ordinary common people from poor families, who don't even have the chance to step into the threshold.

nothing.

This time the invitation from the Sima family gave Yang Chi great confidence. He prepared a generous gift and rushed to Tongluo Lane early.

"Brother Yang, you came early enough."

Someone greeted him behind him. Yang Chi turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance, his secretary Lang Zhouyi.

Zhou Yi and he were evaluated in the same year, and both were ranked in the middle grade, except for the ninth-rank official. Later, Yang Chi was promoted faster. In less than three years, he was promoted to the seventh-rank, but Zhou Yi is still there.

At the eighth level.

Although he was only one grade lower, Yang Chi still had a sense of superiority in front of Zhou Yi. This time the Sima family gave him an invitation, which made Yang Chi very excited, thinking that he could leap over the dragon's gate from now on and become famous.

But he didn't expect that not only did he get the invitation, but also Zhou Yi, who was one level lower than him, would be appreciated by the Sima family. Suddenly, the sense of superiority in Yang Chi's heart disappeared, and he said sarcastically

: "It turns out to be Brother Zhou. Why, are you also a guest of Taifu Sima?"

Zhou Yi chuckled and said: "Both and each other, Mr. Sima is getting married today and there is a banquet for guests. All high-ranking officials in the court have received invitations. Brother Yang can see many of his colleagues today."
