Chapter 4 Cai Wenji
After getting the key, Liu Yuan really went straight to the library. It took half a day to go through the entire vast library of books. There are dozens of books related to the art of war, including Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wu Zi's Art of War, and Sun Bin's Art of War. Some books are made of paper, and more are made of bamboo slips.
Liu Yuan picked up Sun Tzu's Art of War and looked at it. Eager to improve his strength, he immersed himself in the book, as if he was commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield, and from time to time put on different formations to engage the enemy.
After more than ten days like this, Liu Yuan fully recovered. On this day, when Liu Yuan was concentrating on reading Wu Zi's Art of War, the young lady walked into the library with her maid. Because he was too engaged, Liu Yuan didn't notice it at all.
The maid was about to speak up, but was stopped by the young lady. The young lady observed Liu Yuan carefully and found that this man in the subordinate clothes had an indescribable charm. She had never seen that kind of serious, confident, and elegant temperament. A merry and talented man, the son of a high-ranking official, she has seen a lot. But these people, no matter how richly dressed, were all overshadowed by this man in the man's suit.
Wait, how is this person so familiar? Where do you think you've seen it? It's him, it's the beggar, how is this possible? The young lady was incredulous.
At that time, the young lady decided to take Liu Yuan home, and it was only out of pity. She didn't expect that a beggar who she rescued by the way would have such a temperament when she was studying!
After all, after she brought Liu Yuan back, she just ordered her to take good care of it, and all the trivial matters after that were arranged by the housekeeper, and the housekeeper would not report these things to her.
Because she was too surprised, the young lady made some movement, which was noticed by Liu Yuan. As soon as he looked up, his eyes were completely attracted by the young lady. What a girl this is! The appearance of the national color and natural fragrance, the demure temperament, and the elegant demeanor. Liu Yuan, who has read countless women, was also impressed by him!
Cai Wenji in history first married scholar Wei Zhongdao, and in less than a year, Wei Zhongdao died, and Cai Wenji returned to Cai's mansion. After Dong Zhuo was beheaded, Cai Yong died of illness in prison, the world was in chaos, and the Huns took advantage of the chaos to invade and rob Cai Wenji. It was not until Cao Cao ascended to the throne and invested a lot of money that Cai Wenji, the daughter of his friend, who had become the princess of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, redeemed Middle-earth.
Cao Cao married Cai Wenji to his general Dong Xi. Because of Cai Wenji's experience, Dong Ci didn't like her and regarded her as a broken flower. It's just that because of the prime minister's military order, I have to obey. So the marriage between the two is not harmonious.
After Dong Ci committed a crime, Cao Cao ordered to be beheaded, and Cai Wenji pleaded with Dong Ci in front of Cao Cao with her hair and bare feet, and her words were decent. Cao Cao was deeply moved and released Dong Xi. Dong Ci was moved by Cai Wenji's sincerity and perseverance and fully accepted her. Since then, Cai Wenji has finally lived a stable and happy life.
Cai Wenji has deep attainments in literature, music, and calligraphy. Her most famous book, "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji", is a lyric of ancient Chinese music music. The two poems she wrote, "Poems of Grief and Indignation", describe her experience after being exiled by the Xiongnu, and are the first autobiographical long narrative poems written by a literati in the history of Chinese poetry. Emotional, tear-jerking.
The bumpy fate did not defeat Cai Wenji, and she always remained optimistic. was exiled to the Xiongnu, and he could also study the music of the Xiongnu and create "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats". Her husband disliked herself, she repaid her virtue with resentment, tried her best to rescue her husband, and finally got her husband to change his mind, and the husband and wife respected each other like guests. Don't abandon, don't give up, Cai Wenji has written a wonderful stroke in history.
Liu Yuan has always admired Cai Wenji, especially admired her spirit, and sympathized with her experience. The heartache of losing her husband, the helplessness of being exiled to the Huns, and the sorrow of being forced to marry the Huns, how many women can bear all this? Every time he thought of this, Liu Yuan's heart hurt. Of course, Cai Wenji does not need mercy, she not only endured all this, but also lived optimistically. She never gave up the struggle, and she was never defeated.
Liu Yuan didn't know whether Cai Wenji was Cai Yong's only daughter, but at the first glance of the young lady, Liu Yuan was completely sure that the girl with such a temperament must be Cai Wenji. Liu Yuan made up his mind that he must change Cai Wenji's life.
"Test Cai Wenji's full ability." Liu Yuan said to the system.
"Cai Wenji, 43 in force, 54 in command, 78 in strategy, 84 in politics, 93 in charisma, 97 in literature, 98 in music."
"How can there be literature and music?" Liu Yuan was puzzled.
"If a person has unique attainments and abilities in certain areas, the system will also show them. The ability must be at least 85. The system explained.
Liu Yuan understood. He waved at Cai Wenji slightly, smiled, and said, "I met Miss, I was very grateful for Miss Meng's help a few days ago." ”
"It's nothing, heroes have times when they are in trouble. Does Childe like military books very much? Cai Wenji smiled, her voice pleasant. She didn't ask Liu Yuan why he was here.
"I hadn't read a military book before, but I just thought it would be beneficial to learn more. In the past few days, I have read the book of soldiers, and I have indeed become a little interested in the use of soldiers. ”
"There are many books in the house, and the son can be at will. The big husband needs to make meritorious deeds, and it is good to read military books. I wonder what other books Childe has read? ”
Liu Yuanxin said, I don't know what books I have read. I've read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and you don't know either. I've also seen Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya. As for the books you have read, I am not good at it, the Four Books and the Five Classics only know the names, and I also know the very few contents of the Book of Poetry and Chu Ci.
In front of Cai Wenji, Liu Yuan didn't dare to talk nonsense about what books he had read, otherwise he would be exposed as soon as he talked. "When I was young, my family was poor, and I didn't read much, but I barely knew how to read, which made the young lady smile." Liu Yuan could only answer like this.
Cai Wenji did not have disappointment in her eyes. In this era, it is rare to be able to read and write, and the level is higher than that of modern college students. And looking at Liu Yuan's temperament, it is not just as simple as literacy.
"Childe is modest, I see that Childe is not a thing in the pool, and there will always be a day when he will soar."
Liu Yuan couldn't wait to cultivate more feelings with Cai Wenji, so he changed the topic. The young lady praised it. Miss I have an elegant temperament and believe that she must be proficient in literature. And I feel that the young lady is also proficient in music. ”
This can be seen, and it is clear that Cai Wenji is proficient in literature and music.
Cai Wenji was surprised again: "Can this also be seen?" Is Childe also proficient in music? ”
"I'm proficient and don't dare to be it, and I'm slightly interested in music."
"Dare to ask what kind of instrument you are proficient in?"
After Liu Yuan became developed, in order to cultivate his sentiments, he learned the piano, and even put one in the office. If you are a little skilled in the ancient piano, you should be able to play. However, ancient Chinese music only had five tones: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu, Du, Lai, Mi, Sou, and La. The idiom of incomplete five tones is derived from this, and no one says that seven tones are incomplete, right? Seven-tone-based music was introduced to China from the West. Therefore, in ancient times, musical instruments could only play ancient songs, and pop music was limited. Of course, after the Han Dynasty, the seven-stringed guqin also had 13 emblems, and the five tones were only the basic tones, not that the ancient music only had 5 tones.
"I know how to play the piano, but the piano in our hometown is not the same as here. Our family music has seven tones, one more note between the horn and the sign, and one more note above the feather. Liu Yuandao.
Liu Yuan's confident gaze made Cai Wenji not have a trace of suspicion. When she heard that the music theory in Liu Yuan's hometown was so different from traditional music, she was overjoyed. As a musician, Cai Wenji has long found that the span between the angle and the sign is 1.5 times the span between the palace and the shang, so if the division is fine, it is possible to add an extra note between the angle and the sign.
In fact, this is also the case, Western modern music divides the 1.5 times span into two tones, so there are two more tones, "law" and "rare". In ancient China, it was divided a little rougher, and the span of 1.5 times was not separated.
At this time, Cai Wenji was full of interest, turned her head to the maid and said, "Go and bring my piano." ”
The maid was a little surprised, but she did as she was told. Liu Yuan and Cai Wenji sat down face to face.
