Liu Xin's first reaction was that everyone in this era was sick, Cao Pi forced Cao Zhi to write a poem in seven steps, and Wei Zhongdao actually forced me to become a poem in seven steps. Cai Yan and Xun Yu's first reaction was that Wei Zhongdao was too strong, although Liu Xin's article just now was good, it was not necessarily written in one breath, and it was very likely that after a long period of deliberation, it might be impossible for him to compose a poem within seven steps. Ma Yun's first reaction was that Liu Xin hadn't graduated from elementary school, and he didn't know if there was any ink in his stomach, so he knew that it wouldn't be showy just now.

You must know that you can't just take a poem to fill up the number, you must always be able to adapt to the situation, just like Ma Yun, although she is a good student who has always been among the top grades, she can't adapt "The Burrow" in a hurry, but can only delete a few sentences in a hurry.

Liu Xin is very calm, although he is only a thief, he is not an ordinary thief, but a top-level thief. In order to remain calm and calm when starting, he has received a lot of strange training since he was a child, such as carving small animals with dough, and picking peaches. Take picking peaches as an example, this kind of peach is a big and thin skin, it is full of juice, when you eat it is not to bite but to suck it with a straw, the harvest of this peach is a technical work, you must even pick the pedicle, this pedicle can neither stay long nor short, and the force should not be big or small when picking. Liu Xin has been trained for three years just to pick peaches, and his impatient surname has long been smoothed out.

He listened to Wei Zhongdao's words, he was not anxious, as soon as he looked up, he saw a new moon in the sky through the window, counted in his heart, and said: "Seven steps into a poem, this is indeed a bit difficult." I don't know if Wei Gongzi can become a poem in seven steps? ”

Usually people say that Wei Gongzi is talented, one is that he does read a lot, quotes scriptures, and is well-versed in the past, and the other is that he was born in a family of scholars, and people are somewhat complimentary, but in fact, he really has never written a poem by himself. Of course, Wei Zhongdao refused to accept the ball kicked by Liu Xin, and said: "I didn't write such a good article as Lord Liu just now, so naturally I don't have the ability to write poems in seven steps, could it be that Lord Liu doesn't have this ability either?" The article just now ......"

Liu Xin smiled: "So it's just me alone?" You have to have a little bit of a lottery to be fun. ”

Wei Zhongdao didn't believe that he could make a poem in seven steps at all, he just thought he was delaying time, and immediately said, "What color head? You're an adult, you're fine. ”

Liu Xin was very disgusted with Bian Yu because of what he said just now, and now that he was confident, he said leisurely: "Whoever loses, please leave here." ”

Wei Zhongdao replied without hesitation: "Okay, then it's a word!" ”

At this time, Cai Yong and Tian Feng happened to come in and found that the atmosphere in the hall was a little wrong, Liu Xin was leaving his seat and walking towards the window, and there were words in his mouth: "One step, two steps, three steps." ”

Cai Yong and Tian Feng were a little baffled, Liu Xin had already walked to the window and said, "Yes, Wei Gongzi, please listen." The bright moonlight in front of the window is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. ”

Ma Yun saw him shaking his head and reading out this poem, covering his mouth and laughing "eat".

Wei Zhongdao saw that he had only walked three steps, so he made a poem, and suddenly he couldn't get off the stage, and he didn't care about the image, so he shouted loudly there: "What kind of poem is this, there is no rhyme, and bullshit doesn't make sense." ”

Liu Xin was furious in his heart, and put up with you again and again, you still have to make inches, even the poems of the poet immortal Li Bai dared to criticize them to the point of uselessness, and he was about to have a seizure, but he heard Cai Yan already say loudly: "Zhong Dao, you are wrong, this poem only feels that the text is ordinary under the rough listening, and the language of Fang Jue is concise, the imagination is rich, the feelings are strong, and the loneliness of the wanderer's homesickness is fully revealed." It seems that Lord Liu is inspired by it, and he is really talented. ”

Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yong's family were very familiar with each other, Cai Yong admired his talent very much, and often invited him to his home. Today, Cai Yan still expressed his different opinions on "Liu Xin's poems" as usual, but unexpectedly, the situation was different from the past, and these words reached Wei Zhongdao's ears, as if he was stabbing him with a needle.

Wei Zhongdao saw that his fiancée did not help him, but helped outsiders, so he felt disgraced, turned his head and walked out.

Cai Yong didn't know the situation in front of him, he was a little inexplicable, and he also felt that Wei Zhongdao was a little rude today, so he left without saying hello, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Where is the virtuous nephew?" ”

Wei Zhongdao was angry just now, and didn't notice Cai Yong coming in, and suddenly heard Cai Yong calling him, but he didn't dare to put on a score, so he quickly stood up and saluted: "Go back to uncle, it's not early, the little nephew wants to go back to pack up his things, and he will go back to Hedong tomorrow." After a while, he said that he would come with his father to perform the Nagina Expedition. ”

Cai Yong said: "Oh, since that's the case, then the virtuous nephew has gone all the way, forgive me for not sending it." ”

As soon as Wei Zhongdao left, the atmosphere in the hall was much more harmonious, and the guests and hosts talked very happily, from the strategy of governing the country to the strategy of saving the people, from poetry and song to calligraphy and painting. Although Liu Xin's knowledge is not high, he has more than 1,800 years of knowledge, and often comes up with one or two unique opinions, and everyone admires him, only Ma Yun secretly snickers and disagrees.

During the conversation, Ma Yun remembered that Cai Yong, a university scholar, was beheaded by Wang Yun in the end, and Cai Yan had a bumpy fate, so she couldn't help but feel pity and said to Cai Yong: "Mr. Bojiao, your family lives in poverty here, and there is nothing to make a living. It's better to go to Jingzhou with my lord, he is also the time to employ people, and Mr. will definitely be able to make a difference. ”

Cai Yong pondered for a moment, thinking that his family's current life was indeed a little difficult, so it was better to go to Jingzhou with them to have a look, so he said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the old man is willing to go with the adults." ”

Liu Xin didn't expect that he didn't have to open his mouth, so Cai Yong readily agreed. In fact, in addition to Cai Yong's declining family background and poor life, he really needs to find an errand, there is another reason, that is, Tian Feng's evaluation of Liu Xin also made Cai Yong quite excited.

Cai Yong paused and said, "I don't know when the adults will leave?" Let the old man clean up. ”

Liu Xin looked around, although he didn't say that his family was surrounded by four walls, he couldn't think of anything worth taking away, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Cai, I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning." You might as well abandon these heavy things, hurry up and pack up some soft and walk with us, and we will have a good response along the way, and we have prepared for carriages and horses. ”

Cai Yong smiled embarrassedly and said: "Don't hide it from my lord, the old man is now poor, where is there anything soft in the family, but there are more than 3,000 volumes, which are my lifelong collection." This time, I went to Jingzhou with the adults, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Luoyang again, and I want to take these books with me, so I have to pack them up. ”

Liu Xin's face couldn't help but become solemn, these are real ancient books, more than 3,000 volumes, what a precious cultural wealth, he is willing to bring it to Jingzhou, it is unbelievable, so he said to Cai Yong: "Sir, don't worry, I have many soldiers with me, just tell them to bring a few volumes each." You can rest assured, I, the soldiers, have strict military discipline and will never lose or damage a single scroll. ”

Liu Xin immediately instructed Dian Wei to go back to the post house and call three hundred Flying Tiger Guards, many of whom were powerful, with more than ten volumes each, and they carried all these scrolls in just a few moments. These scrolls can be said to be Cai Yong's lifeblood, and the scrolls were transported, and there was really nothing else to clean up, and now the Cai family didn't even have a subordinate, so the family of three easily followed Liu Xin to the post house.

Xun Yu also knew that this time he would say goodbye, and he didn't know when he would see each other again, he admired Cai Yong very much, insisted on sending his family to the post house before leaving, and said to Liu Xin when he left: "I hope that Lord Liu should go to Jingzhou to think of the people, put the community first, and do more benevolent and righteous deeds." ”

Liu Xin agreed and waved goodbye to him: "Liu and Wen Ruo are familiar at first sight, I hope he will see each other again." ”

The next morning, Liu Xin readjusted the distribution of the carriage. There were a total of eight carriages with a high level of comfort, and three of the more spacious ones were naturally divided between Tian Feng, Fu Zhi and Ma Yun's mother and son. The smaller carriages, one each for Fan Jing's father and daughter, Father Xu, and Xiahou Juan, one for Bian Yu and Ying'er, and the remaining one was handed over to Cai Yong's family. Ma Yun saw that his family of three sharing a carriage was a little crowded, so he beckoned Cai Yan to sit in his car.

Ma Yun's carriage, because he was going to take his seven-month-old son, Liu Xin took matters into his own hands and further modified it, adding a device similar to a leaf spring, of course, it was also made of wood, which was more comfortable, and he could hardly feel the bumps on the road.

The inside of the carriage was very wide, and Ma Yun and Qiao'er took Liu Yu and Cai Yan to not feel crowded at all. This is specially built by Liu Xin for Ma Yun, referring to the RV of later generations, there are many exquisite designs inside, such as the curtain of the car window uses the principle of blinds, and the angle of the curtain can be adjusted at will, so as to facilitate the observation of the outside situation, but it is not easy to see the inside from the outside. For another example, there are many small drawers in the car, in which snacks and melon seeds are placed, so that Ma Yun, who likes to eat snacks, can satisfy her hunger on the road. There are also many surnames in the car, there are baby cots, small tables to play chess to relieve boredom, and even toilets can be solved in the car.

Although Cai Yan has been exiled with his father for many years and often rides in a carriage, he has never seen such an exquisite carriage, with a compact structure, making full use of various spaces, and does not make people feel how luxurious and luxurious, but it is very comfortable and convenient, and all functions are readily available, and it can almost be used as a mobile house. When she heard from Ma Yun that this carriage was carefully designed by Liu Xin, and even many places were made by him himself, she couldn't help but admire the handsome young man who became a state pastor at a young age and was able to write and martial arts.

The group packed up and stopped and headed towards the south gate of Luoyang. Liu Xin only brought 300 guards into the city with him, and the rest of the men, horses and vehicles were waiting outside the city. Liu Xin, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and others rode on horses, escorting the team to move forward slowly. When he came to the gate of Nancheng, he was blocked by a team of people, and the first person asked in a loud voice: "In front is the team of Lord Mu Liu of Jingzhou." ”

Liu Xin was in the middle of the team, walking forward with Ma Yun's car, and when he saw the team suddenly stop, he rode forward, and said sharply: "Liu Xin is below, who is blocking our way in front?" ”

I saw that the man turned over and dismounted, stood on the side of the road and said, "Xiaguan Cao Ying, the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, has come to see off Lord Liu and Mr. Cai's family." ”
