When the three of them returned to the room, Guo Jia said: "Jin Mao Knife, Liu Ye, Jin Hong, Liu Hong, is the name of today's son." Liu Ze and Xi Zhicai patted their heads, isn't it. Seeing that it was getting late, Guo Jia and Xi Zhi left their homes.

There are still five or six days before Zhengdan, Liu Ze is thinking about whether to visit Cai Yong? Thinking of Cai Yong's demeanor, longing arises spontaneously. arranged for Liu Song to go to Cai Yong's house early tomorrow morning to hand over the post, and see what Cai Yong said?

After the snow, Luoyang City is cold, and the number of pedestrians on the street has decreased a lot. Liu Ze was riding on a horse, and the cart behind him contained twenty jars of burning knives, as well as twenty boxes of Ten Complete Tonic Pills prepared by Liu Ze himself. Horses' hooves trampled on the streets, making a crisp sound of ice cracking; Liu Song drove the car, leisurely waving his whip from time to time. When I arrived in front of Cai Yong's Mansion, it was the beginning of the end of Shen, and it was dark early in winter, and lanterns had been hung on the gate of Cai Yong's Mansion. Liu Ze got off the horse and said to the gatekeeper: "Dongping Liu Ze came to visit Cai's family, please inform." The gatekeeper was an old man in his fifties, smiling, and when he heard that Liu Ze was visiting, he hurriedly said: "The master has ordered, Mr. Liu is here, just go in directly, no need to report." ”

Menzi arranged for someone to take Liu Song to drive the carriage into the mansion, and he accompanied Liu Ze all the way through the hall to Cai Yong's living room. Cai Yong was looking at the bamboo slips, and when he saw Liu Ze, he threw the bamboo slips, laughed and greeted him. "Rundong Xinren, the old man's house is full of splendor." "Everyone is smiling, the New Year's Day is coming, a little little courtesy, not respect." Liu Ze handed over the gift list, Cai Yong took it, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Rundong is so elegant, it is not exempt from vulgarity." Liu Ze said with a smile: "Follow the customs of the country, and see elegance in the customs." Cai Yong laughed and let Liu Ze sit beside him.

"After today's court meeting, I met with Wen Ruo, Wen Ruoyan said, Rundong and his friends drank very happily, and sang a song in the wine, the meaning of the words is expansive, and it is endlessly evocative, I don't know if it's true?" "Yesterday, if Xun Wenruo was a friend, Guo Jia went to Ze to play Zhizhi, and sang a song when he was drunk." "Haha, can Rundong sing again? Let the old man feast his ears. "Okay." Liu Ze didn't squirm, he cleared his throat and sang. After singing the song, Cai Yong applauded and said: "Sure enough, the meaning of the words is far-reaching, such as drinking good wine, such as facing the high mountains, and the mind is open." While speaking, several people came in from outside the hall one after another, and Cai Yong introduced them one by one, such as Wang Yun, Yuan Kui, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Qiao Xuan, Yuan Feng, Chen Fan, and so on. Liu Ze took a look, good guys, a bunch of bigwigs from the DPRK and China. When he was young, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Xun Yu arrived again. It's really a group of sages, and a little long and salty.

When it was young, the wine and food were put on the table, and everyone sat down. Cai Yong raised his glass to invite, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while. Yuan Shu touched the nail that day, and he was always obsessed, looking at Liu Ze from time to time, Liu Ze also felt that Yuan Shu was not good, and talked to everyone with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant, Xun Xun was elegant, and his demeanor was good, which made many bigwigs nod secretly. Huangfu Song's generation of famous generals, seeing Liu Ze talking eloquently in front of a group of bigwigs, asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Rundong Zhizhi?" Liu Ze saw Huangfu Song asking, knowing that he was a famous general in the world, and later the Yellow Turban made a rebellion, pacified the Yellow Turban, Huangfu Song made great contributions, and said respectfully at the moment: "In the peaceful world, Ze is willing to shepherd one side, benefit all the people, and make them live and work in peace and contentment; In troubled times, when the three-foot sword is lifted, it is all over the world, sweeping away the stubbornness for our emperor, and building immortal achievements! "Sneer", suddenly sneered, Yuan Shu couldn't hold back, "Poor doctors, don't be ashamed." "The bird's ambition?" Liu Ze glanced at Yuan Shu and smiled slightly. "You," Yuan Shu stood up and pointed at Liu Ze, but he was speechless.

At this time, the atmosphere on the field was awkward, and the murmuring sound of the piano came leisurely, like flowing water in a stream, like the wind passing through the mountains and forests, like a spring breeze blowing willows, like a peach and plum blooming. Cai Yong took the opportunity to say: "The little girl accompanies the wine with the sound of the piano, come, everyone drinks this cup together." "Delicately erased the embarrassment caused by Yuan Shu. Liu Ze listened carefully to the sound of the piano and knew that it was high mountains and flowing water, and he couldn't help but hit the knots in harmony. Everyone was intoxicated by the sound of the piano, shaking their heads and their expressions differently. Liu Ze secretly said that Cai Yong has a female name named Wen Ji, (his actual name is Cai Zhaoji, in order to avoid Sima Zhaoji, later generations changed it to Wen Ji.) He was both talented and beautiful, but he was ill-fated, he married Wei first, and his husband died early; was later taken captive by the Xiongnu and married to King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu; Later, Cao Cao unified the north, redeemed Cai Wenji, and married Dong Ci. Life is really upside down, how unfortunate. After a song, the sound of the piano changed suddenly, and the Linjiang Xianlai was played, which was the song that Liu Ze sang just now.

Everyone was even more fascinated, and after Liu Ze heard this, he borrowed a tube of hole flute from the waiter, whimpered, and played it, harmonizing with the sound of the piano. For a while, the piano flute sounded, and everyone was stunned. After Linjiang Xian played, the sound of the piano stopped, Liu Ze thought about Cai Wenji's unfortunate life experience, his blood surged, and he suddenly played "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". It is rumored that "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was created by Sima Xiangru, a great writer of the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru went to the house of Zhuo Wangsun, a wealthy man in Linqiong, to have a banquet, and saw Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of the widowed Zhuo Wangsun, teasing with the sound of the piano, Zhuo Wenjun admired Sima Xiangru's demeanor, so he eloped with him. The sound of the piano hesitated for a while, but it also sounded, and it was in harmony with Xiao Sheng. Liu Ze was overjoyed, and he played more and more hard.

Cai Yong is a person, he understands Liu Ze's thoughts at the moment, but it is not easy to announce it. When it was, Hedong Wei's family came to ask for marriage, but Cai Yong had not agreed, but this Liu Ze child came to tease Wen Ji, looking at Wen Ji's meaning, it seemed that he was interested in this. Although Liu Ze's parents are not there, it is rare to be unparalleled in his talents, and he is also gentle and elegant, and he is even the queen of the Han family, but he has not humiliated Wen Ji. What's more, the emperor intends Liu Ze and wants to grant him the position of county guard, so let's go, the banquet is over, ask the child. How did Cai Yong know that when Liu Ze was singing Linjiang Immortal, Cai Wenji had already hidden behind and saw Liu Ze. Cai Wenji has read a lot of Liu Ze's poems, and she has long been envious, but now that she sees such a beautiful young man, how can she not be moved?

The banquet was over, Liu Ze happened to be on the same road as Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan sat in the car, and said to Liu Ze with a smile: "Wen Ji, the daughter of Cai Yong, is famous, how can the kid care?" Liu Ze's face turned red, of course, he couldn't see it in the night, and said: "Old Qiao's eyes are like torches, and the kid has this intention." Suddenly it occurred to me that this Qiao Xuan was the old man Qiao who married Sun Shangxiang as a matchmaker for Liu Bei later? Isn't this sleepy someone sending a pillow, your old man will be a matchmaker for me first. At the moment, he said respectfully: "The kid bothered to ask Qiao Lao to be a big matchmaker, I don't know what to do?" "Haha" Qiao Xuan smiled: "Rundong has the ability to borrow a ladder to cross the wall, but the old man loves wine, uh-huh." Liu Ze was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "It's getting late today, and I will come to visit Qiao Lao tomorrow." Haha, Qiao Xuan laughed and left.

Liu Ze returned to the Rejuvenation Hall and hurriedly asked Liu Song how to get married, Liu Song was dumbfounded, and said: "Rundong, what kind of banquet, when you ask about the marriage, are you drunk?" Liu Ze said: "Today, I played an ensemble with Wen Ji, the daughter of the Cai family, and I fell in love, so I wanted to ask the Cai family." "What?" Liu Song jumped up all of a sudden, "You, you, you.. Asking Cai's daughter for marriage? "Haha," Liu Ze said with a smug smile: "But no, how much do you know?" Come on. Liu Song said: "Acceptance, asking for names, Najib, recruitment, invitation, and personal welcome are the six rites, and the process is complicated. Then he explained what Nacai is, etc., Liu Ze's head was big when he heard it, anyway, there are people under him, so they can do it. I will give Old Man Qiao a big gift tomorrow.
