Text Chapter 4 Brother Xiaoyi
When Cai Ying was separated from Zhao Fujin, he solemnly told her that his name was Cai Yan and he was Cai Jing's son.
Zhao Fujin was still playing the role of Jin Zhu, and she pretended to be surprised: "It turns out that you are a nobleman, and that little woman can't afford to provoke." ”
Cai Yan couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm really afraid that I won't see you again in the future, but I feel rude when I ask you which house you are, so I can only make this decision to report to my family." ”
Zhao Fujin smiled: "Then I'll give you a good idea, I belong to the Cao family." ”
Cai Yan exclaimed: "Is it the descendant of Cao Guogong?" I am friends with Brother Cao, but I have never heard of the name of the Golden Bead Lady. ”
Zhao Fujin said with a smile: "How can the things in the boudoir be outside? ”
After the two separated, Cai Yan walked to Cai's mansion with great interest, but he didn't expect Cao Sheng to have such a beautiful sister. It just so happened that on the tenth day of the next month, Cao Sheng asked me to go to Caofu for a banquet and took the opportunity to ask.
There was a commotion in front, and it turned out that someone had placed a handicap, and the two were sumo. Cai Yan only watched sumo wrestling tournaments in Japan in later generations, and most of those sumo wrestlers in Japan were big fat people, and Cai Yan was also very curious about how sumo wrestling was in the Song Dynasty.
I saw one of the men with fine skin and tender meat, like a woman, taking off his shirt, and he didn't feel strong. Cai Yan shook his head, this person won't be thrown to the ground in a few clicks. Because his opponent has clear muscle lines, he looks like a practitioner at first glance. The two scuffled together, and the strong man went straight to the next plate, wanting to win with one blow. The thin man had been lifted slightly, and Cai Yan also felt that he was going to be defeated, but he didn't expect the thin man to suddenly make a move to pull out the willows. The sturdy man couldn't stand on his feet, and he fell to the ground with a backflip. This is the real one-trick to defeat the enemy! It's really unseemly. Cai Yan felt that this person's martial arts were really good, and he looked at Wang Fu, the most loyal person around him, who was not much better than himself. After today's outing, Cai Yan has made up his mind to strengthen his body and learn a few tricks to defend himself.
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers shouted: "Brother Xiao Yi has won again!" It's really an invincible opponent in Tokyo! Cai Ying instructed Wang Fu to wait for the end of the stage, go to this shopkeeper, and arrange for him to meet with this little brother Yi to talk.
Wang Fu is still very powerful, stuffed some money, and the shopkeeper happily arranged it.
Cai Yan went to the teahouse on Fuqian Street to find a private seat and sat down, and about half an hour, Brother Xiao Yi came in. Cai Yan took a look at it, and at this time, Brother Xiao Yi was dressed in gray linen clothes, the clothes were not very exquisite, but he looked like a beautiful son. Cai Yan got up to salute, and Brother Xiao Yi returned the salute: "I've seen officials, but I don't know if officials are looking for villains, what do you have to say?" ”
Cai Yan waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, I am not an official, I took the liberty to invite Your Excellency to come, but I am actually suffering from my thin body and powerlessness, and I want to apprentice to Your Excellency." ”
Brother Xiao Yi smiled: "Wufu is the most despised, I see that officials must be rich and noble, why do you love them?" ”
Cai Yan said: "Emperor Zhenzong has his own golden house in his book, which has attracted people from all over the world to read the books of sages. However, as everyone knows, the sage Confucius said that the six arts of a gentleman are the right way. ”
Cai Yan didn't know that what he was saying now was a great disobedience, he was a modern person who was used to commenting on the East and the West, but he didn't know that in this feudal society, some opinions could not be said nonsense.
Brother Xiao Yi obviously discovered this and said, "The official's opinion is unique, and he has been taught here. As for the things entrusted by the officials, I am used to being idle, and I don't like to be restrained, so I can come to me to learn the way of fitness in my spare time. ”
Cai Yan didn't force it, and thanked him at the moment.
Cai Yan was about to return home, but he saw that little Brother Yi entered the alum building. Cai Yan quietly asked Wang Fu: "But I don't know where this alum tower is?" ”
Wang Fu saw that he had a chance to show off, and immediately shook his head and said: "This alum building, but they are all first-class courtesans!" The first of those lines is the girl Master Li! I heard that Miss Li Shishi is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is also versatile! ”
This Master Li is very famous, Cai Yan knows that she is the lover of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and it seems that she still has a leg with Zhou Bangyan. He couldn't help but think about it evilly, didn't Bangyan bring a green hat to Emperor Zhao Ji this week? However, Zhao Ji is fortunate to have a girl every few days, and he has given birth to so many people, so he probably doesn't care.
Cai Yan ignored the alum tower and went back to Cai's mansion.
Back at home, Daddy Cai Jing has returned. Cai Yan went to visit Cai Jing by the way, but Cai Jing talked about current affairs: "Today is really a prosperous age, and the recovery of Yanyun is just around the corner, so the Western Xia is also willing to bow to the wind, and send an envoy to sue for peace, the Western Army is really the elite of my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Cai Yan said curiously: "Did the official family agree to negotiate peace?" ”
Cai Jing said: "The official family is so happy, since my Great Song Dynasty came from the Tanyuan Alliance, how could I have raised my eyebrows so much." The official family is coming to us today to discuss. The old man agreed to negotiate peace, and the military expenditure was too great. Unexpectedly, Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan actually wore a pair of pants and wanted to continue the war on two fronts. Tong Guan has been favored by the officials since he pacified the bandits, and with the addition of Liang Shicheng, the officials listened to their proposals. ”
Cai Yan sighed and said, "Tong Guan is stubborn and self-serving, and he will be defeated." ”
Cai Jing was a little surprised: "Brother Ying'er never cared about these militaristic things on weekdays, but today he is interested?" ”
Cai Yan wanted to point out that Cai Jing was about to come to a catastrophe, but when he thought about who would believe what he said, he didn't mention it and said: "My son wants to make a career and become a father's helper." ”
Cai Jing laughed and said, "Brother Yan is really a different person. It's okay, since you have this filial piety, I will tell you more about the court in the future. ”
Cai Yan returned to his room, but saw that there was an extra maid in the room. When the maidservant saw Cai Ying, she hurriedly made a blessing and said, "I have seen the young master, and the master arranged for the slave and maid to serve the young master." ”
Cai Yan looks at this girl quite well, at least she is not ugly, and she usually looks very eye-catching. So he asked her her name and surname.
The maidservant replied: "The maidservant's original surname was Chen, but after the famine, my father and mother sold me, and now I am called Red Sleeves." ”
Cai Yan smiled: "Your name is very poetic, red sleeves add fragrance to read at night, who gave you it?" ”
Red sleeves said: "The maid doesn't have the blessing to study, this name was given by the master." ”
Cai Jing thought secretly, this Cai Jing is quite elegant. Immediately, he said: "Red sleeves, if you want to read and write, I can teach you, just as I want to copy the preface of the Lanting Collection, you can help me sharpen the ink." ”
Red Sleeves was a little pleased, Cai Yan could see from her sincere joy that she really liked to read. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it would be better for the future generations, compulsory education has made everyone have culture.
