Chapter 207: Marriage with Cai Wenji
。。。
After saying hello to Cai Wenji, Liu Yi left the courtyard.
"Young Master, you're already boiling hot water, are you going to Master Lu first?" , Zhou Bo stood respectfully at the door and said to Liu Yi who came out.
Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "The teacher must be waiting for me, let's talk about it when I come back." ”
After speaking, he stepped out of the gate again and walked in the direction of Qingzhou Academy.
Qingzhou Academy is very prosperous, and there is an endless stream of scholars, but most of them are scholars from poor families, as can be seen from their clothes, some even wear coarse linen clothes, and the kind that is washed and white.
Liu Yi even saw some scholars selling their own calligraphy and paintings, although the calligraphy is not very good, but there is also some charm, Liu Yi looked at it for a while, and thought it was very interesting.
However, the time was too urgent, and there was no careful taste, Lu Zhi was still waiting at home, and Liu Yi smiled and left.
When he walked to the door of Lu Zhi's house, he found that the door was open, and there was no family member watching, so Liu Yi walked in directly.
The environment is very elegant, Liu Yi looked left and right, and found that Lu Zhi's yard was very clean, and not a single servant saw it, and soon saw Lu Zhi sitting and drinking tea.
Lu Zhi saw Liu Yi's arrival, and said with a smile: "I'm back, come and sit." ”
Lu Zhi put down the teacup, looked at Liu Yi with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction, as if remembering the days when he was in Guangzong.
Liu Yi walked over quickly and sat opposite Lu Zhi, not daring to sit too presumptuous, looking respectful and obedient.
Then he said, "Teacher, are you looking for me?" ”
Lu Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "Ziang, how long have we been masters and apprentices. ”
Liu Yi was a little stunned, what kind of rhythm is this, something is wrong, generally as long as you start to talk about the past, you have to do things, this is what Liu Yi learned from later generations.
However, Lu Zhi was his teacher after all, Liu Yi could only be obedient, and took over and said, "Teacher, it's been almost three years. ”
Liu Yi also felt a little emotional, it has been a long time since he came to this world, and now he can be regarded as having some achievements, Liu Bei is the person supported by Liu Yi, and they have learned a lot about each other along the way.
Lu Zhi stroked his beard and said: "Yes, it's been three years, I think back then, you were still a fifteen or sixteen young man, with a sword in white clothes, you dared to ask the Son of Heaven to crusade against the Yellow Turban, when I saw you, I felt like I saw a sharp sword, sharp and sharp, as if to cut away all the unsatisfactory in this world." ”
Liu Yi also smiled embarrassedly, yes, young and frivolous, just out of Luoyang, white shirt with a sword, vainly trying to sweep the world, how can he not be sharp, young people should have the sharpness, Liu Yi is not less at all.
At this time, I don't think about Lu Zhi's purpose of reminiscing, recalling the eventful years, Liu Yi feels worthy of himself, what he should do, what he wants to do, he has already done, what is there to regret.
Lu Zhi smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Do you remember when you asked me questions?" To be honest, I thought it was quite interesting at first, but later, I wanted to beat you, what kind of questions were asked, very tricky, I didn't know and thought you were deliberately embarrassing others, but fortunately, the old man had a good temper. ”
Lu Zhi pointed at Liu Yi with a smile, with a look of reminiscence, those days were really the happiest time.
Liu Yi smiled and said: "The first time Yi came into contact with the army, it was normal to have some problems, and I haven't thanked the teacher for his earnest teaching, which made Yi take a lot of detours. ”
Lu Zhi glanced at Liu Yi, knew that this guy was sincere, and said: "Ziang, you are very smart, your thinking is different from ordinary people, you are the most witty person the old man has ever seen, and your behavior is also very old-fashioned, but there is a fatal flaw, do you know it yourself?" ”
Liu Yi was a little silent, fatal shortcoming, shook his head and said, "Please also ask the teacher for guidance." ”
Lu Zhi shook his head and said: "Kindness, is your biggest shortcoming, when Guangzong City, why did you let go of all those yellow turbans, and let yourself be in danger to persuade them, if you don't succeed, you will die directly, no matter how pitiful those yellow turbans are, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield, and there is no chance to change, defeat them, in order to reason with them, fortunately, those yellow turban dragons have no leader, otherwise you will definitely be defeated." ”
Liu Yi was a little unwilling, and said: "Teacher, they are innocent people, forced by life, desperate to rebel, how can they ......."
Lu Zhi smiled, laughed and laughed, tears flowed out, slapped the table and said: "Ziang, Ziang, in the face of war, there has never been an innocent, everyone is innocent, but can you save everyone, for example, this time I went to Xuzhou to fight Cao Cao, are Cao Cao's soldiers innocent?" They are also ordinary people, and they are just begging for food, but you still have to fight, and you have to fight to the death, and you tell me who is right and who is wrong. ”
Liu Yi was silent, not knowing what to say.
Lu Wei continued: "In troubled times, mercy is absolutely unacceptable, in fact, everyone was wrong from the beginning, and now the princes from all walks of life are waging wars, fighting for territory, and pacifying the world in the name of peace, but if there is no them, how can there be wars." ”
"It's just to see that the princes can go to the end, the Han family is declining, no one is willing to give up the country, you fight for me, the troubled times are like this, Ziang, since you have chosen Liu Bei, you can no longer be soft-hearted, mercy can be had, but it must be on the premise of your own strength, be better to the people under your rule, and treat the local people who are fighting for it equally, but you must not be merciful to the enemy."
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he stared at Liu Yi for a long time, wanting to see Liu Yi's reaction.
Liu Yi was a little silent, everyone understands the truth, but it is a little difficult to do, and said: "Teacher, I don't know if I can do it, but I understand that this world needs a stable environment, and in the future war, I will first use my strategy to see if I can subdue many people on the premise of trying not to hurt them, if it really can't, I will definitely not be soft-hearted." ”
Lu Zhi sighed, knowing that it is not so easy to change a person's character, especially this kind of benevolent nature, how can it be changed because of a few words of his own, but Lu Zhi still has to say, because Liu Yi has to understand this truth, as a teacher, he must be conscientious, but looking at Liu Yi's reaction, he also knows that he listened, but he is still unwilling to admit it, and when he suffers a few losses, he will be able to realize his shortcomings, and maybe he will be able to make changes when the time comes.
Lu Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Just remember, Ci is not in charge of the army, the truth of the past and the present, you must not wait for the head to break the blood before you know to turn back." ”
Liu Yi nodded.
Lu Zhi didn't say much about this matter, took a sip of tea, and said: "What is the situation in Xuzhou, that person named Cao Cao, has he defeated him, this Cao Cao's temperament is very suitable for surviving in this troubled era, and if he doesn't handle it well, he may be your fierce enemy in the future." ”
Liu Yi said with a smile: "The battle in Xuzhou, it can be said that there is no fight at all, they are all chasing, they have already blocked Cao Cao in Xuzhou, but Cao Bao in Xuzhou can take the elite of Danyang to rob and let Cao Cao run ......away."
Liu Yi described the specific things over and over again, and Lu Zhi, who listened to it, nodded frequently, and then said with a smile: "Ziang, Cao Cao has great talents under him, real war talents, you can survive in this desperate situation, not only by luck, it is normal for you to have no harvest this time." ”
Liu Yi nodded, indeed, although Guo Jia Xizhi was dug up, there are still many capable people under Cao Cao, especially that Xun You, the real master of tactics, this time it should be Xun You who helped Cao Cao escape the pursuit.
As for why Lu Zhi could see Cao Cao's potential, Liu Yi was also a little curious and asked, "Teacher, why are you so optimistic about Cao Mengde, his strength is not as good as Xuande Gong now." ”
Lu Zhi said with a smile: "Cao Cao, although I haven't seen him much, but I can see from his deeds that Cao Cao is ruthless and ambitious, this kind of person was born for this troubled world." ”
Lu Zhi said with emotion. Maybe he is a little old, easy to be sentimental, and has a lot to worry about, in fact, Lu Zhi can live in seclusion and spend his old age in peace, but unfortunately he still can't let go of the world and Liu Yi, so he still came to Qingzhou after all.
Liu Yi nodded, feeling that the two words used by the teacher were very correct, ruthless and ambitious, and described Cao Cao vividly and vividly, this kind of person was indeed born for troubled times.
Lu Zhi continued: "Ziang, mercy and indecision are taboos in soldiers, you don't want to make such mistakes in the future." ”
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Yi understands, he won't be indecisive in the future." ”
Lu Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, okay, that old man will make the decision for you, choose an auspicious day, and marry Miss Cai." ”
Liu Yi nodded, and was about to say yes, when he suddenly reacted, his eyes widened and said, "What? Do you want me to marry Wen Ji? Teacher, you're not kidding. ”
Lu Zhi's face drooped, unhappy, and said, "Who is joking with you, of course the old man is serious." ”
Liu Yi was a little cowardly, and didn't dare to agree, marriage is not a child's play, although Cai Wenji is very good, but there is still a beautiful woman in his heart, in case the time comes..................
Liu Yi shook his head, not letting himself think about that scene.
Lu Zhi said: "When you were in Luoyang, Cai Yong's old man was not kind to you, the library is open to you, and you will be raised as a son." ”
Liu Yi stubbornly said: "Uncle Cai really treats me very well, and I am very grateful. ”
Lu Zhi sneered and said: "Gratitude, how are you grateful, people's entrustment has not been done, but the books in the library have been given to you, look at it now, Cai Wenji is still staying in your house well, when do you want her to get married." ”
Liu Yi had a headache and didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth and shook his head helplessly.
Lu Zhi continued: "Moreover, look at what you have done, if you don't marry Cai Wenji, forget it, you still keep her by your side, and even take her out to play, it's ridiculous, people's innocent reputation has ruined you, what do people in the world say, do you know?" You are not responsible for who is responsible, I am in charge of this matter, marry Cai Wenji as his wife, you are also a good match, the old man and Cai Yong's old man have a great relationship, let my disciple marry his daughter, he will not object. ”
Lu Zhi said and looked at Liu Yi, wanting to see how Liu Yi reacted.
Liu Yi was a little silent, his mind was in chaos, and said: "Teacher, Yi has someone he likes in his heart, I ............ it."
Lu Zhi almost scolded, and said: "The person you like, you like to have a fart, your parents' orders are matchmakers, and if you like others, Cai Wenji won't like you, is it fair to others?" Ziang, you have to think clearly, if you are not responsible for Cai Wenji, it is estimated that Cai Wenji will be alone in this life, all of this is also your fault, you stole other people's hearts, and as a result, you can't give people happiness, I want to beat you, you ask yourself, do you really have no feelings for Cai Wenji at all? ”
Liu Yi bit his lip and said that it was not a lie to say that he didn't feel it at all, such an understanding, gentle and beautiful woman would not be hated by a man.
Lu Zhi knew that there was a play when he saw Liu Yi's expression, and said with a smile: "Ziang, a manly man, you must stand up to the sky, standing up to the sky is difficult to say, and it is not easy to do, but to be responsible for your own behavior, this is a man's must do, besides, three wives and four concubines are no problem, is it so difficult for you to marry Wen Ji?" Do you have to wait until it's too late to decide, so as not to break the hearts of those who love you? ”
Lu Zhi sighed with emotion, the last few sentences can be said to be heart-wrenching, Cai Wenji is now in her twenties, and it can be said that it is very difficult to marry her again, now Cai Wenji has no family power behind her, and she is ambiguous with Liu Yi, who wants to marry such a woman, although Liu Yi can prepare a dowry for her, but after marrying out, Liu Yi cannot become Cai Wenji's backer, because there is no reason, Liu Yi is not qualified, and if he really does that, it will definitely make people misunderstand.
Liu Yi thought of Cai Wenji's concern along the way, and remembered those gossips, yes, I don't care, men and others can say a word of romance at most, but what about women, these gossips will scold her to the end, because she is too selfish.
Liu Yi sighed and said, "Everything is up to the teacher, Yi is too selfish and doesn't take Wen Ji's position into account." ”
Lu Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Yes, you were wrong from the beginning, but it was not that you were too selfish, but that you were too young, how could Cai Yong's old fox be so simple, you went to his house to study in Luoyang several times, you are young, and the credit is so great, it can be said that how can he let go of such a golden beetle son-in-law, Cai Wenji is what he sent to you, saying that you want you to help Cai Wenji find a husband's family, it is just an excuse." ”
Liu Yi was a little dumbfounded, a little unable to believe that this was true, and said, "Uncle Cai just said that I should take care of Wen Ji, I don't have such a deep scheming." ”
Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Ziang, Ziang, that old fox is much smarter than you think, did you tell him something before leaving?" ”
Liu Yi recalled, nodded, and said: "Yes, I saw that Dong Zhuo was going to be chaotic, Cao Cao had already left Luoyang, and I knew that there would be a big change in Luoyang, so I told Uncle Cai, after all, he treated me well." ”
Lu Zhi nodded and said: "That's right, Cai Yong's old guy may also have his own judgment and agree with your statement, so he will throw his daughter to you, after all, Luoyang is destroyed, Dong Zhuo and that old guy are deeply involved, and he will not escape the blame." ”
Liu Yi was really shocked, so to speak, from that beginning, Cai Yong planned to send Cai Wenji to his side, what to take care of Cai Wenji, and find a husband for her, all fooling himself, this feeling of IQ being exploded by the show, it is really sour.
Lu Zhi patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said: "Now I understand, you are still too young, but Cai Yong's old fox has no malice, after all, he can die, he can't let his daughter accompany him, don't blame him, besides, aren't you quite satisfied now, with beautiful women, it's still a common yard, you can't let you take all the good things." ”
Liu Yi nodded, yes, it's fine now, so he said with a smile: "Thank you for the teacher's guidance, the marriage is all up to the teacher, and Yi will leave if there is nothing to do." ”
Lu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Go back, rest well, you don't have to worry about marriage, the old man is also your elder, just leave it to me." ”
Liu Yi snorted, and then withdrew from Lu Zhi's courtyard, feeling a lot more relaxed, Cai Wenji's matter has always been Liu Yi's heart disease, I don't know how to solve it, now that Lu Zhi is here, this problem has been solved, although I am a little sorry for Ziyan, but there is no way, in the era of three wives and four concubines, marrying two wives is nothing, right.
Liu Yi blinked, there was still some joy in his heart, and he didn't know that one day in the future, something terrible would happen.
Liu Yi went home with a relaxed pace, Lu Zhi watched Liu Yi leave at the door, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you can still sell well if you get cheap." Then he turned around and went back to the yard.
Liu Yi didn't know anything about all this, and as he walked around, he felt that it was not interesting, and he was a little tired, so he went home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Bo carrying water under the command.
Liu Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, has the water been boiled?" ”。
Zhou Bo turned his head, just in time to see Liu Yi's figure, and said with a smile: "Young master, you are back, the hot water is ready, will you wash it now?" ”
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Send it to my room, by the way, I will send someone to Wen Ji's later, and I will say that I agreed." ”
After finishing speaking, he went back to the house, although Cai Wenji would know in a few days if he didn't send someone, but there would always be a period of time, Liu Yi didn't want her to be scared, so he just sent someone over to say it, anyway, this kind of thing should have been the man's initiative.
Uncle Zhou was a little puzzled and said, "Young Master, do you only say these three words?" ”
Liu Yi replied: "Not bad." ”
