Liu Xin was a little strange, but he couldn't see who this person was, so he quietly walked over. Under the tree is a slender figure, wearing a long aqua green dress, hidden in the bushes, no wonder it is not clear from a distance. Liu Xin walked to her side, only to find out that it was Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan.

Cai Yan didn't realize that there was another person around him, and he was silently staring at the water, and with a slight wave of his hand, a stone was thrown out again, falling into the pond not far away, causing a ripple.

Liu Xin couldn't help but say: "Does Miss Cai have an opinion about this pond in my house, and she wants to learn from Jingwei to reclaim the sea and level it?" ”

Cai Yan didn't know what to think, she was distracted, her action of throwing stones was only made subconsciously, and suddenly she heard someone talking in her ear, she was shocked, and wanted to get up, but her feet slipped and she fell into the pond.

Liu Xin's eyes were quick, he grabbed her hand, and with a little force, he pulled her up, but the embroidered shoe on her left foot rolled twice on the bank slope, and when it came to the pond, it was like a small boat, rippling at the water's edge.

Cai Yan fell this way, the long skirt was originally green, and it was not obvious to rub some grass juice, but Liu Xin was in a hurry, dragging it violently, breaking her skirt in a few places, and there were no shoes on her left foot, and the snow-white socks were black, green, and spotted, and very embarrassed. Cai Yan has been pampered and pampered by her parents since she was a child, but she has never suffered this hardship, she was shocked and frightened, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Liu Xin only thought that she felt sorry for the shoe, and said, "Girl, don't cry, I'll go and help you get it." "Liu Xin has the skill of flying eaves and walking on the wall, and it is natural to get a shoe by the pond.

Cai Yan also recognized it as Liu Xin at this time, and she had also heard that Liu Xin knew some martial arts, but she didn't expect his skills to be so vigorous, and she was stunned for a while.

Liu Xin got the shoes effortlessly, but he was also a little dazed, these little embroidered shoes are so cute, I don't know what kind of foot can wear such a small shoe, so I secretly went to see Cai Yan's left foot. Although the socks were dirty, they couldn't hide the slender and feminine curves, and Liu Xin couldn't help but have an urge to take off her socks to take a look.

Cai Yan noticed his eyes, his face turned red, his little feet couldn't help shrinking back, and he hid under the long skirt, and then he leaned over and said to Liu Xin: "Thank you, girl!" ”

Liu Xin's eyes were empty, she retracted her thoughts, and said, "You don't need to call me an adult, you can just call me Liu Xin." It's a pity that the shoes are wet, but fortunately, they are in full bloom, and they will dry soon after being put in the sun. ”

Cai Yan blushed with shame, and said with some resentment: "How dare the folk girl call the adult's name, but Mrs. doesn't allow me to call your name." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but think of the scene at Cai Yong's house in Luoyang that night, a young girl called herself "husband", and couldn't help laughing, but she didn't know how to explain it to her, so she had to say: "Miss Zhaoji, these shoes will have to be dried for a while, I'll help you go to the pavilion over there to sit for a while." ”

Cai Yan was shy, so he naturally refused to let him come to help, touched the stone steps, limped to the corridor in the pavilion and sat down, and said to Liu Xin: "My lord, I don't know what happened to the Yellow Turban Thief's rebellion now?" ”

"Oh, when did Miss Zhaohime also care about national affairs?" Liu Xin looked at Cai Yan unexpectedly, saw her shyly lowered her head, suddenly understood, and joked with a smile, "Is the girl worried that the road to Luoyang is not passable, and the people of the Hedong Wei family will not be able to come to Jingzhou?" Don't worry, I'll send someone to pick them up when the time comes. ”

"Your Excellency!" Cai Yan stomped on his right foot, which was still wearing a shoe, and said angrily, "I won't tell you." ”

Liu Xin found that she seemed to be really angry, so she remembered what Ma Yun had explained to him, and slapped her forehead: "Oops, how did I forget that big event." Miss Zhaohime, is your father not at home? ”

Cai Yan said angrily: "I don't know. ”

Liu Xin said curtly: "Alas, I still play a child's temper." Forget it, I'll go to your house and see it myself. With that, he got up and left the pavilion.

Cai Yan hurriedly shouted behind him: "My lord, my shoes." ”

With a "snap", the half-dried embroidered shoes landed accurately in front of her, Cai Yan glared at Liu Xin's back with resentment on his face, and sighed.

Since arriving in Xiangyang, Ma Yun has been the most talkative with Cai Yan. Ma Yun, the state pastor's wife, is very knowledgeable, knows astronomy and geography, and often has amazing remarks, which makes Cai Yan, a genius girl, admire her all kinds of bodies.

Cai Yan has gradually accepted Ma Yun's theories of "heart theory" and "gravitational force", and even accepted her women's emancipation thoughts, and began to think about finding her own happiness. Wei Zhongdao naturally can't enter her vision now, among the people around him, no matter from which point of view, Liu Xin's conditions are the best, but unfortunately he is already a famous grass, and now even Bian Yu has become his rightful second wife.

Today, he actually said this conversation with Liu Xin alone, Cai Yan suddenly felt that it was not the fate that Ma Yun said, who knew that this guy who didn't understand the amorous style actually said that he was going to pick up the people of the Wei family to come to Jingzhou, how do you call her not to hate!

Liu Xin also knew that she had said the wrong thing, which made the little girl unhappy, and she was anxious to find Cai Yong. Although he knew that it was not easy to convince this old pedant, on the one hand, he had his wife's explanation, and on the other hand, he had to find a way to remedy it in front of the little girl just now, so he had to come to Cai's house hard.

Cai Yong usually attaches great importance to the way of health preservation, and his daily lunch break is thunderous, but today it is very rare that he did not take a nap. It turned out that he heard that a new Moxiangzhai specializing in stationery was opened in Xiangyang City, which sold a kind of paper called "Xiang Paper", which was the best product for writing. Cai Yong went seven or eight times, and finally lined up today, and didn't buy twenty until noon. As soon as he finished lunch, he couldn't hold back his excitement, spread the paper on a few cases, and began to write.

Knowing that Liu Xin was visiting, Cai Yong was quite surprised and hurriedly greeted him. The changes in Xiangyang can be said to be changing with each passing day, Cai Yong sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart, and his impression of Liu Xin is getting better and better. It's just that this Xiangyang Academy has not been built for a long time, but Cai Yong's heart is very anxious, and now Liu Xin has taken the initiative to come to the door, Cai Yong wants to take this opportunity to urge again.

Entering the hall, the first thing Liu Xin saw was the "Xiang paper" spread on several cases, and when he got closer, he saw that the paper was written exactly the "Burrow Inscription". This "Burrow Inscription" is written in Li, the font is flat, neat and exquisite.

Liu Xin also studied calligraphy for a few years when he was a child, and when he saw the words on the paper, he admired it in his heart, worthy of the handwriting of a great calligrapher, and said with a thumbs up: "Mr. Bo Jiao's writing is so good, how about giving me this calligraphy?" ”

You must know that this is written by Cai Yong himself, and there are not many that can be handed down, and Liu Xin wants to be a family heirloom.

Cai Yong seemed a little reluctant, and only after a while did he say: "Wait a minute, the lord, wait for me to cut this paper, and then send it to the lord." ”

It turned out that he was reluctant to give up this calligraphy, but because he was too anxious, the whole piece of paper was written on it without cutting it, and most of the bottom was blank.

Liu Xin was secretly amused, he didn't expect Cai Yong to be so stingy, so he said: "Sir, isn't it just a piece of paper, what is precious." ”

Cai Yong said: "The lord's words are wrong. This is not ordinary paper, it is the most suitable for writing, not to mention bamboo slips, which are many times stronger than good cloth. I waited in line for a few days to get these twenty copies, so it's better to save some money. ”

Liu Xin couldn't help laughing and said, "Sir, don't worry about this paper, I'll have someone send a box over tomorrow to ensure that you can write happily." ”

"A box!" Cai Yong was taken aback by Liu Xin's words, and suddenly remembered that he had worked hard to get such a point, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a whole box, and he was immediately displeased, and said, "Where did the lord get so much paper, could it be that he used his official position to buy it?" It would be unfair to do so. ”

Liu Xin didn't want to tell Cai Yong the truth, so he put away his smile and said, "Mr. misunderstood, how can Liu be such a person." However, I have a lot of people, so I just arrange more people to queue up. If one person buys twenty sheets, ten people will have two hundred, and a few more days will naturally have more papers. ”

Cai Yong was relieved and said: "Then thank you to the lord, the money to buy the paper will be paid to the lord according to the price." ”

Liu Xin said disappreciably: "How can I collect your money." However, I have something I would like to discuss with you. ”

The price of Xiangyang paper is expensive, each piece is worth fifty yuan, and there are at least hundreds of pieces of paper in a box, which is worth tens of thousands.

Hearing Liu Xin say that he didn't want his money, Cai Yong hurriedly rolled up the words on a few cases and said gratefully: "That old man is disrespectful." The lord wants this letter, so I'll give it to the lord. ”

Liu Xin unceremoniously took the painting and said, "What I want to discuss with you is not this painting, but about Ling Ai's marriage, I hope you can withdraw from the Wei family." ”

Cai Yong's face suddenly changed, and he said: "This is Cai's family matter, it seems to have nothing to do with the lord." ”

Liu Xin stubbornly said, "Mr. doesn't know anything. I have already sent someone to investigate, Wei Zhongdao This person is inconsistent in appearance, and there are many misconducts, if Ling Ai marries him, I am afraid that it will hurt Ling Ai for the rest of his life, please think twice. ”

Cai Yong was speechless for a while, these words Cai Yan was noisy in his ears, and I don't know how many times I heard what Bian Yu said about Wei Zhongdao being a frequent visitor to Drunk Hongchen. Although he is not disgusted with men entering and leaving the Qinglou, it is about his beloved daughter, and he also has a lot of complaints about Wei Zhongdao in his heart.

"But if a man has no faith, he will not stand, and if he has no righteousness, he will not stand. I have already agreed to the Wei family's proposal, how can I be that faithless and unrighteous person! Cai Yong hesitated again and again, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, how could Liu Xin investigate Wei Zhongdao for no reason, could he not have any intentions against Yan'er? blurted out, "How could the lord think of investigating Wei Gongzi?" ”
