Chapter 364
Cai Yanqin is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and along the way, Liu Xian is not lonely.
Liu Xian himself can be regarded as a university graduate, and his literary skills in the history department are actually not too bad. The ugly ones are the brush characters, and Liu Xian usually doesn't practice much, so he hasn't improved.
Cai Yan looked down on Liu Xian's calligraphy, and when she had time, she wanted to urge Liu Xian to practice more calligraphy.
Now in the carriage, naturally there is no need to practice calligraphy, Liu Xian and Cai Yan have a mess, but it also makes Cai Yan look at Liu Xian with admiration.
Between men and women, like between Liu Xian and Cai Yan, strictly speaking, although the two know each other, they really don't know each other. After all, we've only known each other for a short time.
And like Liu Xian, when he met Cai Yan in the Plains Palace. If it is in the postmodern era, if Liu Xian dares to say anything like her as soon as he sees Cai Yan and wants to marry her, then Liu Xian must be regarded as an idiot by the other party, and if he is not good, he will be slapped by others.
Who the hell are you? Do you know you well? When I first met, I moved my hands and feet, saying that I wanted to marry someone else, didn't you wake up?
Well, these situations really depend on what era they are in.
In ancient times, people were indeed more concerned about fate, and sometimes, as long as they met and had a certain amount of good feelings for each other, then it was very likely to be a good thing. Because in ancient times, once you missed something, you might never encounter it again in your life.
In this era, there are no telephones, no cars and airplanes, and once two people are separated, they may not be able to meet again for the rest of their lives. And may never hear from the other party again.
Therefore, in ancient times, things between men and women were more cherished than in postmodern times. As the so-called once born and twice cooked, between men and women, there is no need to make an appointment again and again, watch a movie after dinner, and then consider the RV and so on.
In addition, based on Cai Yan's situation, she also knew that her father took her to find a family for her to marry her. And then her temperament, she is at peace with what she encounters, who she meets, who she meets is who she is, she really doesn't care about these at first.
But now it's different, after deciding on things, Cai Yan slowly opened her heart, and when she got along with Liu Xian again, she also discovered many advantages in Liu Xian.
She also found that when she talked to Liu Xian, she was also very humorous, and she knew a lot of things, and often had some ideas that made her feel novel.
These, whether in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., Liu Xian seems to have unique opinions. Cai Yan even felt that if Liu Xian could calm down and do some learning, maybe her achievements would not be under her father Cai Yong.
If nothing else, let's just say that in terms of creating song scores, the music that Liu Xian hummed and sang was not available in this era, and the style of music was completely different, some were brisk and tactful and even sad. Without exception, they are all catchy and extremely pleasing to the ear.
Along the way, Cai Yan also obtained a lot of music scores from Liu Xian and practiced playing in the carriage. Not to mention, let the soldiers who accompanied them outside feast their ears and hear fresh and pleasant songs.
"Husband, what else you wouldn't do? Otherwise, how about you write a poem? ”
"Poetry? Hehe, this is also Ben Fujun's strength. ”
Cai Yan was a little tired from practicing playing new music, so she put the piano away. Snuggled next to Liu Xian, and put his head on Liu Xian's shoulder at random.
Liu Xian's all this is stealing the knowledge of future generations, since he has already done a copyist, then he will simply copy it to the end.
No, these are indeed the benefits of the traverser. Speaking of poems, Liu Xian copied a lot, and later 300 poems of the Tang and Song dynasties, Liu Xian had bought several collections of these poems in the library. As long as Liu Xian wants to see it, he can immediately read the memory in his brain.
In fact, even if Liu Xian can't read the memories in his mind like a movie, he can remember a lot of later poems with his own memory.
It's not just Liu Xian, no matter who he is, he has traveled to other worlds, and he somehow remembers some of the poems he once studied.
"Don't be too proud, since you said it's your strength, that's good, then people will give you a proposition to see if you can make a good poem."
Cai Yan said, and began to think about what kind of topic she wanted to give Liu Xian.
"Okay, you say, I'll try." Liu Xian did not hesitate and agreed.
There are so many poems in later generations, and there will always be one that can cope with the topic Cai Yan said, no matter what proposition she makes.
Cai Yan thought about it, and it seemed that she couldn't think of any good topics for a while, so she simply sat down, and suddenly opened the curtain next to the carriage.
At this time, the carriage traveled along the official road, just past a village, outside which there was a small stream that slowly flowed into a pond of stagnant water.
It is now the spring and summer season, and most of the fields are planted with crops, and they are growing just right. And those ponds, I don't know if the villagers planted them or they were wild, were overgrown with lotus flowers.
"Yes, you look at the scenery outside, the small village, the pond, you can make a poem that matches the scenery outside, and if you can make it, even if you are good."
"Oh? Make a poem with the scenery outside? Liu Xian leaned over the carriage window and quickly took in the scenery outside. On the other hand, Liu Xian also quickly read the poems related to these scenery in his mind.
"yes, can you do it?"
Almost a dozen breaths, Liu Xian smiled and said, "Hehe, what's so difficult about this, listen up." “
"I used Koike as the title of my poem. The spring is silent and the water is soft. The little lotus showed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly had already stood on its head. “
A poem that I learned in the first grade in later generations was written by the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli. Liu Xian especially likes the sentence that Xiaohe shows his sharp corners, well, this sentence is really a quatrain for the ages.
"The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves the sunshine. The little lotus showed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly had already stood on its head. “
Cai Yan subconsciously recited the poem Liu Xian said at this moment. She was really shocked when she read it.
This is not only a good poem, but a poem for the ages.
A short poem shows what she sees and wants to express, and it is more vivid.
Xiao He only showed sharp corners, and there were dragonflies standing on his head?
For a while, Cai Yan couldn't help but be a little confused.
"How? This poem is okay, right? Liu Xian looked at Cai Yan with a little pride.
"Yes, yes...... No, no, how can it? It's amazing, husband...... How did you—how did you come up with that? Cai Yan said with some excitement.
A good poem, a good poem that has never been heard before, for people with certain literary skills, for people who like poetry, it is simply equivalent to winning the jackpot and making them feel excited. This is the case with Cai Yan at this time.
"That's how I came up with it." Liu Xian naturally cannot say that it is plagiarism.
"Hmm...... Boom ......"
Cai Yan, who was excited, actually took the initiative to kiss Liu Xian.
Liu Xian hugged her.
"Husband, the little lotus has just shown its sharp corners, and this person has also seen it, and there are indeed some lotus flowers waiting to be released, but we are on this official road, a little far away from those ponds, how did you find that there are dragonflies standing on those lotuses?" Cai Yan crouched in Liu Xian's arms and asked with some doubts.
"Huh? Forehead ......"
Liu Xian was a little speechless for a moment, and found that Cai Yan's appreciation angle was a little different, where did he really see a dragonfly?
However, Liu Xian reached out with his big hand and slid onto Cai Yan's crisp chest.
"Ah...... Don't ......" Cai Yan was trembling by Liu Xian's sudden action.
This and Liu Xian are in the carriage, which has always been limited to kissing the small mouth, and Liu Xian has never made any other excessive actions. But now, Cai Yan was a little unable to react, and she was infinitely shy in her heart.
Liu Xian leaned close to her snow-white jade ear and whispered to her: "Don't do anything, the husband is now telling you the true meaning of Xiaohe's sharp horns, and what is a dragonfly." “
"Husband, husband, you...... So you're writing such crooked poetry, you, you're really bad......"
Cai Yan really understood it completely at this time. There are some things that really don't need Liu Xian to be completely clear.
Look at the little lotus in the pond, the budding appearance, it really looks like the jade peak of the woman. All are snow-white, and the sharp corners are bright red. It's really vivid.
And then what? The bad guy's hand is the dragonfly, pinching the sharp horns......
Cai Yan was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at Liu Xian.
However, after a while, Cai Yan suddenly felt that something was not right. couldn't help but retort: "Xiaohe only showed sharp corners, does it mean that kind of little girl who has just come of age?" Isn't it a small lotus......"
"Ha, yes, Yan'er's is not a small lotus, it's a big purse that has bloomed a long time ago, haha......"
Liu Xian was so happy to hear it that he couldn't help rubbing his hands with some force, and said with a smile.
Women, they really care about a certain part of their body, ancient and modern, no woman wants her breasts to be small.
There is a beautiful scenery in the carriage, and I am naturally not a problem.
Liu Xian has really done everything except for the real one, and Cai Yan has become accustomed to being so intimate with Liu Xian.
From Liulin Village to Beihai, this is neither far nor close, if you really want to calculate, it is estimated that it is about a thousand miles away.
But a well-prepared caravan can also walk relatively fast.
A normal person can walk about 5 kilometers an hour, and he can travel non-stop for ten hours a day, which is almost the limit. So, it's normal to walk a hundred miles a day.
Although most of the caravans were carried by horse-drawn carts, many of them walked after all. It is also unlikely that the carriage will leave everyone behind, so it is considered fast to walk a hundred miles in a day.
Of course, if it is a fast horse, plus a thousand miles of horses, a distance of about a thousand miles can really be reached in one day.
The usual 800 miles expedited is basically a day to convey information to 800 miles away. The information of the government will change horses at the official post stations along the way, so it is indeed very fast.
Liu Xian was not in a hurry to rush to Beihai this time, so he was slowly behind.
In some of the counties he passed along the way, Liu Xian would also stop and take Cai Yan into the city to go shopping.
In this way, it took Liu Xian more than ten days to rush to Beihai.
As for the caravan, it had already arrived two or three days earlier than Liu Xian. There were no problems along the way.
After all, there are almost tens of thousands of caravans, and there are people and horses specially protected, and ordinary bandits and robbers dare not provoke. What's more, even if someone wanted to provoke them, Huang Zhong, who opened the way in front, would have already taught them how to behave.
Even the government did not dare to leave the Liu Mansion caravan along the way. Now that Liu Xian has become famous, the general government just wants to stammer, and dare not offend.
Of course, if you let those large bandits and robbers, especially the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and the Yellow Turban Army of Taishan, they will definitely fight the idea of this caravan.
But the problem is that the merchant route of the Liu Fu caravan has avoided them far away, not to mention that they don't know the caravan's business route, even if they agree? Will they be able to plunder the Liu Mansion caravan from thousands of miles away? These need to do a lot of preliminary intelligence work before they can just stop the Liu Mansion caravan on the road to loot.
Obviously, whether it is the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army or the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, they do not have such intelligence conditions for the time being.
"Sister Cai Yan! Brother Liu Xian, is that you? ”
Liu Xian and Cai Yan were sitting in the carriage, and they had just arrived at the gate of the north of Beihai City when they heard a crisp cry.
The Liu Mansion caravan arrived one step ahead of Liu Xian.
There were too many caravans, so naturally it was impossible to put all of them into the city, so the Liu Fu caravan set up camp outside the city. The 1,000 archers who arrived late with Liu Xian also arrived at the camp of the Liu Mansion caravan first and settled down. Liu Xianze, Zheng Bo, Wang Yue and a few guards went directly into the city, planning to go to the Confucian Mansion to meet Kong Rong first.
