It was in this year that the famous 'Battle of Red Cliffs' began.

Cai Wenji married Dong Ci, and their married life was not very harmonious at first. Cai Wenji has been full of chaos and sorrow, often in a trance, often thinking of her two sons, and often thinking of her miserable and bizarre life during her time in the Xiongnu; And Dong Ci is in his prime, born a talent, through the history of books, proficient in music and rhythm, self-esteem is very high, for Cai Wenji naturally a little dissatisfied, always feel that their talent should find an unmarried girl to match, Cai Wenji is very dissatisfied, in the second year after marriage, Dong Ci committed a crime and died, she didn't care about the suspicions, and came to Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion barefoot to intercede. Cao Cao remembered his friendship with Cai Yong in the past, and thought of Cai Wenji's tragic life experience, if Dong Ci was executed, Wen Ji would be difficult to survive, so he spared Dong Ci's crime.

According to folklore, when Cai Wenji interceded for Dong Ci, Cao Cao saw Cai Wenji in the harsh winter season, unkempt and barefoot, and his heart was very unbearable, so he ordered someone to take the headscarf, shoes and socks for her to change, so that she stayed in her own home before Dong Ci returned, and I don't know if she was possessed by Cao Cao, a big wolf. In a casual conversation, Cao Cao expressed his envy of Cai Wenji's original collection of books. Cai Wenji told him that there were more than 4,000 books in his home, but after years of war, they have all been lost, Cao Cao showed a deep disappointment, and when he heard that Cai Wenji could still recite 400 articles, he was overjoyed, so Cai Wenji wrote 400 articles silently from memory, and the text was correct, which shows that Cai Wenji's talent is high and her memory is good, which ordinary people can't imagine.

Since then, Dong Xi has been grateful for his wife's kindness and re-evaluated Cai Wenji, and both husband and wife have also seen through the world, tracing the Luoshui River upstream, and living in the foothills with beautiful scenery and lush forests. A few years later, Cao Cao passed through here on a hunting tour and visited him. Cai Wenji and Dong Ci had a son and a daughter, and the daughter married Sima Yi's son Sima Shi as his wife.

Not a day, Tang Hua and Dian Wei and five hundred 'night eyes' arrived in Chenliu, after a lot of hardship, they found Cai Yong's house, Dian Wei stepped forward and knocked on the door of Cai's house, after a while, Cai Mansion came out of the gate of a subordinate, Dian Wei handed Tang Hua's name card (business card) to hand, the next person received Tang Hua's name sticker and closed the door again, and turned back to enter.

After a while, the subordinate walked out with an old man about forty or fifty years old, Tang Hua knew that this old man should be Cai Yong, Tang Hua hurriedly bowed ninety degrees to him and said, "Tang Hua see Cai Daru." ”

Cai Yong glanced up at Tang Hua, and then glanced at Tang Hua with strange eyes before saying, "Are you really a fierce snake?" ”

Damn, why is it that every time Tang Hua meets someone, the other party's first question is the same language and tone, is he really not famous. Tang Hua shook his head and said respectfully: "I am Tang Hua, Tang Anmin." ”

Cai Yong heard Tang Hua's confirmation again, and said, "Is it really a fierce snake?" ”

Tang Hua smiled and said: "Cai Daru, I am indeed Tang Hua, of course I am also the fierce snake in your mouth, this should not be fake, besides, who else wants to pretend to be a notorious fierce snake?" Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself? ”

Cai Yong said to Tang Hua: "Lord Tang, I lost my temper, I'm sorry, please forgive me." ”

Lu Ning smiled and said: "Cai Daru, don't call me any adult, you still call me An Min, so that I sound kind, who in the world doesn't know that I am a mischievous person, even Yanmen, Jinyang and other cities are also seized without purpose, and now the emperor Lao'er just asked me to help him watch first." ”

Cai Yong let Tang Hua and them into his mansion, Tang Hua asked more than a dozen 'Night Eyes' to bring in gifts, and the other 'Night Eyes' soldiers were all ambushed around Cai's mansion.

After the gift was brought in, Tang Hua said to Cai Yong: "Cai Daru, I also prepared a small gift for Miss Cai, please accept it together." ”

Tang Hua came to see Old Man Cai this time, but the cost was not small, and he also asked Ma Jun to prepare a large mirror and a small and exquisite mirror for Cai Yan, a big beauty. Old man Cai accepted it after a little excuse, and asked people to send Cai Beauty's gift to the back room, and then Tang Hua and Cai Yong sat down, and the next person served tea and began to taste tea slowly.

Cai Yong said: "An Min, how can you have time to come to my humble house?" ”

Tang Hua smiled and said: "Cai Daru, you are a world-famous Confucian scholar, and you also have a deep study of the Qin Dao lineage. I came to visit this time, so why not let Cai Daru guide me, a young boy who doesn't learn and don't know how to learn, besides, I also heard that Cai Daru has a 'Jiaowei qin', which plays with beautiful timbre. Wonderful, unparalleled. ”

Jiaowei qin is a peerless treasure qin, and it is one of the four famous pianos in China. It is said that Cai Yong lived in exile, secluded in the countryside, one day, Cai Yong sat in the room and sighed, feeling that God was really unfair to himself, at this time, the landlord was cooking in the stove next door, she stuffed the firewood into the stove, sparks jumped, and the firewood was burned "crackling". Cai Yong heard a crisp popping sound next door, and couldn't help but be shocked, raised his head and pricked up his ears, he listened carefully, shouted, jumped up and ran to the stove. When he came to the fire, Cai Yong didn't care about the fire, and stretched out his hand to pull out the piece of paulownia wood that had just been stuffed into the stove as firewood. When he took it out, Cai Yong's hands were burned, and he didn't feel pain, so he blew and touched the paulownia wood in surprise. At that time, the landlord thought that he was insane and had a problem with his head. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and the paulownia wood was still very intact, so Cai Yong bought it. Then remove the scorched skin, according to the palace business, tuning rhythm, meticulous carving, meticulous, painstaking, and finally made this piece of paulownia wood into a piano. When this piano is played, the timbre is like a heavenly sound, and it is extremely moving. Later, this piano was handed down and became a rare treasure in the world, and because its tail was scorched, it was also called "Jiaowei Qin".

Cai Yong listened to Lu Ning's words and said: "An Min, I have a piano, and I feel good, but I haven't heard of the name of 'Jiaoweiqin', but I think this name is really good and considerate, so it will be called 'Jiaoweiqin' in the future." But I don't know how Anmin knows the ins and outs of this piano? ”

Tang Hua smiled and said: "Cai Daru, it was when I was on a study tour, I heard the legends outside, and it wasn't whether it was really true. ”

Cai Yong laughed after hearing this, and then said: "An Min, this name is very good, I thank you for being too late, how can I blame you." A few days ago, I heard your recent 'wandering son', and now I heard the name you gave me the piano, you are not like the legend of a big character illiterate, do not learn no skills, just a reckless hero, it seems that the legend outside is wrong, your literary talent is also very good. ”

Tang Hua bowed down apologetically and said: "Cai Daru, you have won the award, I am really a prodigal son who has no learning and no skills, does not know a single big character, and only likes to play around all day long." So when I was very young, I went out to study in various places alone, which also missed my own studies, and now I can't get on the horse, I can't write a pen, I can't achieve anything, and now I can't regret it. ”

Cai Yong listened to what Tang Hua said and said: "An Min is modest, you are now a famous fierce snake on the northern prairie, alas, the Xianbei Tartars are frightened and frightened when they hear the word fierce snake, you have made great achievements for my Han nation, and you have now become the national hero of my Han nation, how can you say that nothing has been accomplished." ”

Tang Hua shook his head after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Actually, I am a reckless person, for the sake of the refugees on the border, I privately sent troops to recover Yanmen, and for this matter, Ding Yuan sent his Tartar son Lu Bu to attack it. For the reward of the soldiers, I sent troops to Jinyang and other places without permission, and I didn't think about any worries at all, I knew that I was sitting on a brazier now, and I might be scorched at any time. ”

Cai Yong said: "An Min, there are a lot of legends about you outside, and I don't know if those are true or false, but you must be true when you beat the Xianbei Tartars, and your reputation on the prairie is an undeniable fact for anyone, as for the rest, I myself also have a credible and suspicious attitude." ”

At this moment, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old stunning beauty walked over, pure, noble, elegant, delicate, gentle, and charming. Mei, I can't describe the words that are swaying, Tang Hua's brain was short-circuited in an instant, his brain was blank, his eyes looked at the person in a daze, and he didn't even know that saliva was flowing out.

When the old man Cai Yong saw Tang Hua's demeanor, he was very unhappy, so he coughed.

After Tang Hua reflected, he hurriedly slapped his mouth with his sleeve. wiped the saliva off the chin, and then saluted Cai Yong: "Cai Daru, please forgive me, I lost my temper, don't think this is Miss Cai, Miss looks like a fairy, really like the heavenly fairy Chang'e." After Tang Hua finished speaking, he saluted Cai Yan again.

At this time, Cai Yan was praised by Tang Hua and blushed, and her face was shy, which made her even more delicate. Charming, enchanting. Cai Yong said to his daughter: "Yan'er, I have come to see Tang Hua, Lord Tang Anmin, he is the fierce snake on the northern prairie that you often say in your mouth that you have the opportunity to see." ”

Cai Yan saluted Tang Hua and said, "I've seen Lord Tang." ”

Tang Hua stared at her in a daze and said in return: "Miss Cai, don't call me an adult, I don't dare to be an adult, if I call an adult again, I will be called old, am I really old in your eyes?" If you want, call me Big Brother, and I'll be happier. ”

Tang Hua's nondescript words made Cai Yan, a great beauty, laugh out loud, and only listened to her after laughing: "Legend has it that Tang Hua on the northern prairie is a reckless hero, and he doesn't know what big words he says, why do I see today a talented man with a flamboyant tongue, alas, this rumor is really deadly." ”

TANG Huaxi. was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she replied very embarrassedly: "Miss Cai has won the award, seeing you so beautiful, you poured out all the little things I had in my stomach at once, if you want me to pour it again, then it will stump me, I really can't do anything." ”

Cai Yan smiled and said: "A person who can write a peerless masterpiece like 'Wanderer', and can also play and write a majestic song like "Loyal to the Country", big brother, are you really a reckless hero who doesn't learn and can't read big characters?" ”

Tang Hua looked at Cai Yan, such a beauty is really not enough, it is indeed too raising. Eyes, he replied: "Alas, 'Wandering Ziyin' is a great mother I saw when I was studying abroad, and I worked hard for her son's success, and fell into tuberculosis, and I felt it for this. "Loyal to the Country" is when I led the army to gallop on the prairie, I saw that my Han such a beautiful homeland was trampled by the Xianbei tribe and the Hun Tartars, and the people on the border of my Han Dynasty were innocently killed, and I was indignant, which really made Cai Daru and Miss Cai laugh. ”

Cai Yan laughed even happier after hearing this, and only listened to her: "Big brother, do you know, your 'Wandering Son' makes those who have heard it cry, and the deeper their mother's feelings; ”

Tang Hua shook his head after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Miss Cai, don't hurt me anymore, let's talk about you." I heard that Miss Cai is under the guidance of Cai Daru, and her piano skills are unparalleled, whether I ask my sister to play a song for me with the peerless treasure qin 'Jiaoweiqin', and let me have the honor to listen to a song, then I will have no regrets in this life. ”
