Chapter 24 Chongde Hall Sees Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Cai Yongfu Betrothed Cai Yan (II)
Cai Mansion, Liu Bei communicated with everyone from time to time, in terms of a modern person's thinking habits, such a banquet is really boring, a group of big men, old man-like characters, will only sit here in private to be angry young people, but they don't want to solve the fundamental problem! After making sure that all the people attending the meeting had a good impression of themselves, Liu Bei planned to go out and take a breath before coming back under the pretext of urinating!
The courtyard of Cai's Mansion is not particularly large, and Qing officials like Cai Yong have no rights to those who can only write books academically, so the entire Cai's Mansion is simply a front yard and a backyard, today Cai's Mansion invites guests, and the place where the banquet is held is in the backyard.
Walking in the courtyard, suddenly a gentle sound of the piano came to Liu Bei's ears. This tactful sound of the piano attracted Liu Bei to walk towards the source step by step. Unconsciously came to the outside of a small courtyard, and Liu Bei was even more fascinated by listening at this time.
The sound of the piano surrounds the jungle, the heart trembles, the sound is like the roar of the pine wind, and it is like the spring water flowing hurriedly, and the haggard soul of the piano roams the life of life! It's hard to look back on the passing of the years, and the young green silk has become white-headed and bitter in an instant, and there are no relatives and friends, wind and rain and mud! How to endure the ups and downs of honor and disgrace without complaints, especially the ups and downs of honor and disgrace without complaints, only this string is dissociated, sorrowful and often accompanied by morning and dusk, bitterness and happiness always stay together, wine and wake up, people scatter the aftertaste!
The song dissipated, Liu Bei remembered it for a long time, and at the end he couldn't help clapping his hands. The applause caused an exclamation from the people in the hospital. Liu Bei then knew that something was wrong. So he hurried into the small courtyard and leaned over to confess.
After finishing and not waiting for the other party to answer, Liu Bei raised his head, only to see a 128-year-old girl sitting in the pavilion, like a peony carved from marble on the product.
Suddenly, she stood up and took a step, and the purple embroidered skirt floated with it, and the slender fingers that seemed to be broken rubbed against the steel wire, making a crisp sound.
The body just turned slightly, and the transparent ribbons danced, intertwined, rotated, and flew, if it weren't for her watery stunning, which would have completely bewitched her, then even time would have stopped.
Liu Bei never knew that a woman would be so beautiful, under the sun, her black silk was shining and charming. When she turned around and collided with his eyes, he felt as if his heart was about to jump out, did he find it?
The one who accompanies him for the rest of his life! Then he blurted out: "Slightly blessed, sit down gracefully." The jade finger is lightly raised, touching the surface of the piano, contemplating and pondering, the sound of the piano is in vain, the sound of the piano is melodious, such as high mountains, such as flowing water, gurgling and solemn, the heart is relaxed and happy, and the charm is bubbling. ”
After saying that, he was afraid that he would surprise the beauty, so he said again: "Girl, Xiaosheng is polite, because he was attracted by the sound of the piano, he abruptly surprised the beauty, and I hope the young lady will forgive me." ”
Hearing Liu Bei's words, the girl in the audience was slightly blessed, and said eloquently: "Zhao Ji has seen Childe, presumably Childe is here to attend his father's banquet, Zhao Ji Fuqin disturbed Childe, so she arranged for someone to lead Childe to the banquet." ”
'Akihime? It's actually Cai Zhaoji, shouldn't Cai Zhaoji have just been born two or three years ago? It's only been two years now, and Cai Yan is so old?
Is history wrong, or is it the flapping wings of my own butterfly that affects the change of some things? Liu Bei didn't know about this.
But it did not affect Liu Bei's admiration for Cai Yan. "A certain is Liu Bei of Zhuo County, Youzhou, the word Xuande, with the family teacher Lu Gongte came to visit Lord Cai Bojiao, because of some accidents to break into the young lady's courtyard is really abrupt, Xiaosheng apologizes again, I hope Miss forgive. Miss Ran's piano sound is really beautiful, and she can't help it. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, but it's late at night, and the little girl will leave if she is inconvenient." After saying that, he paced and left the pavilion.
Liu Bei has a long aftertaste, and he has already included Cai Yan in his pursuit, his own harem, and the perfect goddess in his heart.
Then he picked up the paper and brush on the table, and did it in one go: "Dancing like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon, Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Hua Mao Chun Song." The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind.
Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. Forced to observe it, the scorching waves appeared. The fiber is heartfelt, and the fit is shortened. If the shoulders are cut, the waist is as plain.
Stretch the neck of the show, the quality of the dew, the fragrance is not added, the lead Huafu Yu. The clouds are elegant, the eyebrows are trimmed, the lips are long, and the teeth are fresh. Bright eyes are good, Jing assists in inheriting power, beautiful posture, and quiet and leisurely. Tenderness and flattery in words. ”
However, it was an excerpt from Cao Zhi's description of Luo Shen in Luo Shen's Fu, coupled with Liu Bei's beautiful cursive hand, and after writing, he pressed the note under the paperweight, left the small courtyard, and walked to the banquet hall.
…………………………………………………………
In the banquet hall, Liu Bei left.
"Zigan, you are a good student, both civil and military, and quite ambitious, this time I came to Beijing to ask for you." As soon as Liu Bei left, Cai Yong, as the master, asked.
"Xuande came to Beijing this time, because the party is slightly lifted, to see if he can find an errand in the imperial court, today I brought him over to let you meet, have the opportunity to recommend and recommend, so that our scholars have more strength, and then this Xuande Wen can be an official, Wu can also be a general, and after King Jing of Zhongshan, it is a royal family, so I think I should be able to make a difference." Lu Zhi replied.
"I think it's good for his talent, but this time when he entered Jingzi, do you know that he still took those ways?" It was Yang Ci who was questioned, it was October at this time, Situ Liu He, Yongle Second Lieutenant Chen Qiu, Wei Wei Yang Qiu, and Infantry Captain Liu Na conspired to punish the eunuchs, and they all went to prison and died. The Yang family has begun to give Yang Ci a position of more situ, and Yang Ci also wanted to cultivate some of his own new forces in the court, so he asked again.
"I know, Xuande should just found me, but I usually heard that I want to go to the palace to meet the saint, and I don't know if it will be successful or not at this time, Xuande has been supported by Moling big merchants in recent years, and there are some special treasures in my hands that I want to dedicate to the saint, I have also handed over the fold for Xuande before, but there is still no reply to announce his audience, which shows that this matter is not ordinarily difficult!"
"This matter is easy, in the next few days we are handing over a few excerpts from it, and the eunuchs who want to come to the palace will not fail to report, the saint loves wealth, and he should announce his audience when he learns that Xuande has rare treasures, but we should grasp Xuande well, so that it can serve us and fight against the eunuchs." It was Ma Riyan who spoke.
In April of the second year of Guanghe this year, there was an amnesty for the world, and the party members were imprisoned from their ancestors and all below. Let the scholars see hope, the incident of Situ Liu He and others, the emperor did not re-launch the party, and at the same time the incident was due to leakage, the Gu scholars also actively sought opportunities to strengthen themselves, and strive to compete with the eunuch ministers, and strive to let the scholars govern the world!
Therefore, Liu Bei's entry into Beijing this time happened to hit it off with the scholars' ideas and requirements, and Lu Zhi thought about taking Liu Bei to participate in this party.
Everyone chatted excitedly and didn't pay attention to the time, Liu Bei had hurried back to his seat from the small courtyard. They chatted with everyone again. After coming back this time, Liu Bei obviously felt that everyone's attitude towards him had improved a lot, and they all had the intention of wooing, Liu Bei thought to himself, it should be the role of Enshi Luzhi, so he didn't think about it further.
After the banquet, everyone said goodbye to Cai Yong, Liu Bei also left Cai's mansion with Enshi Lu Zhi, and got into Lu Zhi's carriage together, along the way Liu Bei learned the information about the banquet from Lu Zhi's mouth, which made Liu Bei excited, thinking that through Tian Feng's practice of bribing eunuchs, the two-pronged approach, the official position sought is almost not a problem, and if possible, he can also get an official position as a clan member of the Han family, which is a good thing for fame and fortune.
In excitement and gratitude to his teacher, Liu Bei told Lu Zhi about meeting Cai Yan in the inner courtyard and euphemistically expressed his admiration for Cai Yan, due to historical changes, Cai Yan in this era has not yet been engaged to Wei Zhongdao, because Wei Zhongdao is only three or four years old at this time. Hearing Liu Bei's words, Lu Zhi didn't say much, but simply replied: "Next time, I will discuss it with Bo Ji for you when I have a chance." ”
After sending Lu Zhi off, Liu Bei took Zhou Cang back to the inn.
In the next few days, Liu Bei's life was relatively peaceful, except for being anxious for Tian Feng to discuss the matter of entering the palace, he chose some people to go to Cai Yong's mansion to inquire about the news, which was naturally to inquire about Cai Yan's news. The palace has not been summoned yet, but Ma Riyan and a few of them have already handed over the folds, presumably the turning point of the matter is coming!
…………………………………………………………
The next day of the banquet, Cai Mansion, Cai Yan saw Liu Bei's resignation, and his heart was inexplicably moved, and then he also knocked on Cai Yong's side on weekdays, and all he got was praise for Liu Bei. Cai Yan even looked sideways at Liu Bei.
At the end of October, it was tantamount to a harvest season for Liu Bei, first of all, the person who went to Cai's Mansion to listen to the news got the news, saying that Cai Yan, the lady of the Cai family, would go to the West Market the next day, and Liu Bei got the news and came to a chance encounter.
Secondly, Lu Zhi has already passed the word, and Cai Yong will just say a word about Cai Yan, and Zhao Ji can agree. The left rear is also the most important, the palace announced that Liu Bei will enter the palace to meet the saint three days later.
