36 Invitations
Because the matter of buying an official has already been settled, Li Zhen has also relaxed to go out to play in the past few days, accompanying Zhang Fei and them every day to visit Luoyang scenic spots, or talking to Cai Yan about poetry and lyrics, and returning early has made Li Zhen feel good these days.
At noon on this day, Li Zhen came to Juxian Building at the appointment, and seeing that Cai Yan had prepared wine and food, Li Zhen stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Cai, come early!" Cai Yan got up and said, "There is nothing to do in the house today, so it's early, let's sit down and talk, please." ”
Cai Yan raised his glass and said: "I have listened to Brother Li's discussion in the past few days, which has opened my eyes, I can't imagine that in addition to my big man, there are so many places and customs and characters from all over the world, Brother Li is really knowledgeable and talented!" ”
Li Zhenxin said: "In later generations, three-year-old children will know the vastness of the world, and they will be knowledgeable and talented when they say it in the Han Dynasty." ”
Li Zhen said: "I also learned more about miscellaneous studies, and my father punished me for this matter." Li Zhen ran the train with his mouth full of wind, but Cai Yan felt strange when he heard it, he had never heard of this, and he was very relaxed when he talked to Li Zhen, and from time to time Li Zhen told jokes from later generations, which made him laugh.
Cai Yong returned home very early today, and the housekeeper stepped forward when he saw the master coming back and said, "Master, I came back really early today!" Seeing Cai Yong stroking his beard with a smile, he asked, "Master has encountered something happy today." ”
Cai Yong smiled and said to the housekeeper: "Miss is here, take me to find her now." ”
The housekeeper lowered his head and squeaked: "This young lady, young lady went out this morning, and she hasn't returned yet." "Oh, Yan'er is out, but she went to find her friend again, forget it, I'll come back later and let her come to my study to find me." After Cai Yong finished speaking, he turned around to leave. "This, sir." As soon as the housekeeper saw that Cai Yong was leaving, he spoke.
Cai Yong looked at the housekeeper's embarrassed appearance, thinking that he had encountered something difficult, and said with concern: "Cai Fu! We've been friends for twenty or thirty years! We've known each other for so long, what else can't you say, but what difficulties have you encountered at home? Say it and I'll see if I can help. ”
The housekeeper Cai Fu saw that the old man cared about him, and he was very moved, and said hurriedly: "It's not me, it's Miss." "Miss, what's wrong with Yan'er?" Cai Yong stepped forward and clasped Cai Fu's hand and said hurriedly.
Cai Fu looked at Cai Yong's eager appearance and said, "Hey, you see I didn't make it clear." He pulled out his palm and slapped himself.
Cai Yong said: "When is this, you quickly say what's wrong with Yan'er?" ”
Cai Fu helped Cai Yong's body and found a place for him to sit down, before he said: "Master, in fact, Miss is fine, but Miss and Cui'er have gone out early and returned late these days, and they are still going out in disguise as men, am I not worried?" I didn't make it clear just now, which made the master worried. ”
Cai Yong let go of his panic after hearing this, and said: "There is also this matter, this Yan'er is too disagreeable now, how can a girl go to wear men's clothes, this is going to spread out and it will not make people laugh, Miss will come back and call Cui'er to me in the evening." "Hmph, turn around and Cai Yong went back to the room." Hehe, the story told by Brother Li is really beautiful, I didn't expect that there are kinder demons in this world. Cai Yan listened to Li Zhen's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and sighed.
Li Zhendao: "In fact, whether it is a person or a demon, the most important thing is the heart, if the heart is good, if the heart is bad, it is bad, in fact, the heart is more difficult to guess!" ”
Li Zhen saw that the sun was setting unconsciously, so he said to Cai Yan: "It's not too early this day, we should go back." ”
Cai Yan also turned his head to see that it was really not early, and hurriedly got up and said, "It's not too early, I have to go back." "I hurried downstairs.
Li Zhen looked at it and shook his head, why was he so reckless.
Li Zhen was also about to get up and go back, when he heard someone gasping beside him, and when he looked around, he saw Cai Yan panting incessantly.
Li Zhen pulled him to sit down and said, "Why did you forget to bring something?" ”
Cai Yan picked up the teacup on the table and drank it without looking at it, and after putting it down, he realized that it was not what he had just drunk, and his face turned red.
Li Zhen thought he was running too fast, so he got up and poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Cai Yan didn't touch it again, bowed his head and said: "I just remembered that Brother Li not only writes good poems, but also writes beautifully, and the "Peach Blossom Anthem" I listened to the day before yesterday, I hope Brother Li can write it in ink." ”
Li Zhen thought there was something, but when he heard it, he immediately said: "I thought something had happened, so it turned out to be like this!" I'm going to have people prepare paper and ink. ”
Xiao Er prepared the paper and ink and went down, Cai Yan stood up and personally sharpened the ink for Li Zhen, and looked at Li Zhen's serious writing, his face turned rosy again. "Alright." Li Zhen put down the brush and said, Cai Yan looked at the rows of block letters written on the paper, and was overjoyed, so he said, "Brother Li, can you give me this letter?" ”
Li Zhen pretended to be embarrassed and said, "This." ”
Cai Yan showed a disappointed expression and said, "Brother Li refuses? ”
Li Zhen looked at him and laughed, and said, "This was originally intended to be given to you, what are you in a hurry?" Take that. ”
Cai Yan saw that Li Zhen was playing with him, took the calligraphy and painting, raised his little fist, turned around and trotted down.
Li Zhen looked at him very cutely. "Stop, you came back so late, and you were dressed like this, saying why did you go?" As soon as Cai Yan and Xiaocui wanted to quietly enter the room, they were stopped by Cai Yong, who was standing outside.
Xiao Cui saw that Cai Yong was coming, so she didn't dare to move and stood still and lowered her head.
Cai Yan came to Cai Yong's side and said coquettishly: "Daddy, why did you come back so early today!" "Hmph, don't come back so early, I don't know what you've done?" Cai Yong said angrily.
Cai Yan looked at Cai Yong's angry appearance, pulled his sleeve with his hand, and explained in a low voice: "Daddy, in fact, what didn't we do?" I went to meet my friends in writing. ”
Cai Yong didn't pick up his words, and looked into the distance.
Cai Yan said: "The person my daughter went to see, my father would definitely not have thought of it, this is what my father wants to see the most, and I also got a good work of him today." "Hmph."
Cai Yan saw that his father still ignored him, so he took out the calligraphy and painting and read: "Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Nunnery." ”
When Cai Yong heard it, he said: "This is Li Zhen's "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple". ”
Cai Yan finally saw Cai Yong speak, turned his head and winked at Xiao Cui, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Daddy has already heard it." "Why haven't I heard of it, this matter has gone crazy in Luoyang, don't think I'm not angry with you." Cai Yong tried his best to pretend to be angry, but in fact, as soon as he saw his daughter, his anger had already disappeared, this daughter was the meat of his heart, how could he be willing to scold. "Daddy." Cai Yan looked at Cai Yong with cute eyes and tears.
Cai Yong looked at his daughter's appearance, both distressed and wanted to laugh, and said, "You, you, you are still like when you were a child." "Hehe, that father has forgiven his daughter, then I can show you a treasure." Cai Yan saw that Cai Yong was finally no longer angry, so he pulled Cai Yong into the room. Xiao Cui saw it and thought, "It's still a good lady." The old man was all settled by her. ”
Cai Yan took out Li Zhen's calligraphy and painting and put it on the table, their father and daughter are both people who love calligraphy, painting and poetry, otherwise they would not have left their names for eternity. Cai Yong picked it up cautiously and said, "Good words!" What a poem! Today I heard this poem on the road and came back in a hurry, and wrote it down in flying white font, I wanted to surprise you, who knew that you were a surprise to my father, it seems that I was busy in vain. "Who said it, I think it's better for my father's words, take it out and give it to me." Cai Yan spread his hands and looked at Cai Yong with his eyes.
Cai Yong was also very happy when he saw his daughter say this, so he took out the calligraphy and painting and put it in his daughter's hand, and at this time he also saw Xiaocui standing at the door.
Cai Yong shouted to Xiaocui: "Don't come in yet, see how I teach you a lesson next time?" ”
Xiaocui came in and saluted Cai Yong, "Thank you, master." "Well, you go to the housekeeper and ask the housekeeper to have a famous post, saying that I will have a banquet for this talented man from the north Li Zhen tomorrow night, go!" After speaking, he began to appreciate Li Zhen's calligraphy and paintings.
