268 Play a game
"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless.
The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry. ”
Liu Yuan put his hands behind his back and slowly recited the poems that he had thought about early in the morning.
Although Cui Mengyao is said to be a woman, she was born in Qinghe Cui's family, and is Cui Jing's only daughter, she has been very loved since she was a child, and she can't go to school and private school.
"It's a good sentence that the spring silkworm is dead to the end, I think, it's the end of the thought." Cui Mengyao said faintly: "This poem has been tempered for thousands of years, every word is beautiful, Liu Yuan, I didn't expect you to be quick in thinking, and people are so amorous." ”
plagiarized another famous poem, and a trace of guilt rose in Liu Yuan's heart.
"It's hard to say goodbye when you meet" is created by Li Shangyin when he was about fifteen or sixteen years old in Yuyang Mountain, it is a poem that expresses the love affair in a female tone, expressing the author's love for the author and Song Huayang, the daughter of Lingdu Guannu, and it is also one of the poet's masterpieces, in fact, there are eight sentences in the whole poem, but the last four sentences are too feminine, and Liu Yuan did not read it.
Liu Yuan smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a feeling, if you don't do it well, you just don't laugh." ”
"Laughing?" Cui Mengyao shook her head and said, "If this poem is not good, it is estimated that the scholars in the world will not be able to write poetry." ”
Liu Yuan was snickering, this activity that didn't cost money and didn't hurt his nerves coaxed a girl's heart, and just wanted to be modest, but he didn't expect Cui Mengyao to say quietly: "The poem is a good poem, but unfortunately, this poem is not written for me." ”
"Meng Yao, why do you say that?"
"Isn't it? I'm in Shengyefang, you live in Zhengrenfang, and it won't take an hour to go back and forth. It's just that you rarely come to visit me, it's not difficult to see each other, it's not difficult to don't, the thoughts are true, and the judgment is not as exaggerated as depicted in the poem, I think, your poem is written to your confidante in Yangzhou. ”
After a pause, Cui Mengyao continued: "A misunderstanding, my father forced you from Yangzhou to Qinghe. Calculating the time, you have been separated for a while, from the time you put fame and fortune away, you couldn't wait to get rid of your slavery for your confidante who was thousands of miles away, obviously. Although you write poems for me, you write for someone else. Is this wrong? ”
Liu Yuan was sweating profusely. fainted, although there were also thoughts, but this time it was really a technical mistake and a plagiarism mistake, and Cui Mengyao was not only delicate, but also very knowledgeable. I tasted the deep meaning at once, and there was a hint of resentment when I spoke.
"Hey" Seeing Liu Yuan's sweaty appearance, Cui Mengyao thought that Liu Yuan was told by herself, but she covered her mouth and smiled: "Liu Yuan." You don't have to worry, I'm not a jealous person, you and Yangzhou's confidant met first, and I got married later, in the final analysis, it was my father who oppressed people first, and I apologized to your confidante. ”
Ah, wouldn't it, so generous?
Liu Yuan looked at Cui Mengyao with a little disbelief, he heard it wrong in the future, such an excellent woman, whether it is knowledge, cultivation, temperament, appearance, background, etc., is simply impeccable, and being able to commit herself to herself is a great blessing for herself, not to mention that she was still a white body before, she is a young talent of three grades and five grades, if you want to climb the big tree of the Cui family in Qinghe and hug a beautiful woman, you have to hope that your ancestral grave will smoke a few more times.
Such an excellent woman, is she willing to share a husband with other women?
I can't believe it.
"What the little woman said, every sentence comes from the heart, Liu Yuan, don't worry too much." As if he could see that Liu Yuan was a little suspicious, Cui Mengyao said with a serious face.
"How do you say that?"
"Let's talk slowly, I want to hear her story, I can make you think about it so much, that woman must be very good."
Paper, always can't contain the fire, the truth, there is always a day to face, in the private letter brought back by Tuo Huang's father-in-law, Liu Yuan also asked Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang to come to Chang'an with him, ready to ride a handsome horse during the lively Shangyuan Festival, embrace the beauty, in the prosperous capital Chang'an, come to a horse to watch the flowers, no matter what, when the time comes, several women will have to meet, that is, it is a matter of time sooner or later.
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "If you want to hear it, that's good, where do we go to the pavilion, and slowly tell you my story." ”
"Well, that's good."
So, for the first time in their lives, the two were honest with each other and had a long talk
More than an hour later, Liu Yuan came out of Cui's Mansion with a spring-like smile on his face, in fact, the conversation with Cui Mengyao was very pleasant, Liu Yuan told Cui Mengyao about himself, which caused Cui Mengyao to sigh from the bottom of his heart in many places, and Liu Yuan also turned out a lot of old things and shared them with Cui Mengyao; From her mouth, I also know a lot of interesting things about Cui Mengyao's life.
Cui Mengyao hinted that she would learn to coexist peacefully with Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang.
If she could, she would even be willing to give up the position of the main room to the little lady who grew up with Liu Yuan, a childhood sweetheart, that sincerity and humility simply moved Liu Yuan to a mess, if it weren't for Cui Mengyao's eyebrows and the rare figure of Cui Jing's old boy, Liu Yuan really thought that they were not biological father and daughter.
One is quite unreasonable and annoying, and the other is taking care of the overall situation and is pitiful.
And at this moment, on the official road leading to Chang'an in Yangzhou, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rose, several carriages were connected into a line, the coachman quickly whipped his horse, and went straight to Chang'an, and the road ahead was actually the royal forest army in the capital, in the middle of the convoy, there were two beautiful women of 28, one of whom patted the back of the other hand and said: "Sanniang, don't worry, senior brother is waiting for us in Chang'an." ”
"Well, Zhilu Dao, I think, Liu Yuan must be very fond of his sister." Sanniang said with a smile.
Xiao Niang said with a smile on her face: "I think it's because I gave you such a big gift, but I don't have anything." ”
"Hee-hee, I'll surprise you then."
"Really?" Instead, the little lady said with a worried face: "We are just ordinary women, and now that my senior brother has married Miss Qinghe Cui's daughter, I don't know how Lu Dao will treat us." ”
Du Sanniang said with confidence: "Sister, don't be afraid, I believe that Liu Yuan is not the kind of person who is greedy for the new and forgets the old, otherwise, he would not have gone to great lengths to get rid of my slave status." It won't let us go all the way to Chang'an, we have to believe him. ”
"Well, you seem to have some truth in that, too.'
Xiao Niang and Du Sanniang, who were sitting in the carriage, followed Huang Gonggong's carriage and walked in a group, rushing in the direction of Chang'an
Next, Liu Yuan's life was very busy all of a sudden, and he first went to report to the Ministry of Officials. I got my official clothes, whitebait bags and other things, and I had to look at the decoration of the shops in the West Market, and I had to take the time to move my luggage to the future father-in-law at a discount of 800 taels to my own house, familiarize myself with the environment, and buy slaves and maids. Not only did he have to arrange the division of labor, but he also had to prepare for the "fishtail banquet" to entertain Li Er. I really hate myself for being incompetent.
Fortunately, Cui Jingzhi and Liu Yuan were very busy. Sent his old loyal slave Cui Afu to assist, and the five thousand taels of silver that were distributed in advance also helped Liu Yuan a lot, at least, there was silver, and Liu Yuan needed silver to buy materials, buy slaves and maids. Not at least no money in hand.
In addition, there is one more thing that has to be said, that is, Dai Qisi, she took Liu Guo's silver to finish her father's death. did not take the opportunity to escape, returned to Liu Yuan's side very honestly, a foreign land is a foreign land, and there are not so many rules in the Tang Dynasty, and quickly entered the role of a personal maid, not only caring for Liu Yuan in life, waiting for Liu Yuan's daily life and diet, but also bravely sharing for Liu Yuan at work, such as moving into a new house, cleaning, assigning work to the maidservant, etc., she is all single-handed, I don't know if she is well-informed, Dai Qisi is getting better and better, and she is not timid at all.
For a woman in the Tang Dynasty, she can't say that she will have to keep filial piety for three or five years.
Unconsciously, Liu Yuan has received the holy decree for three days, and tonight, Li Er, who has promised to go to the banquet, will come to Liu Yuan's new house in Chang'an to taste the "fishtail banquet" that Liu Yuan prepared for him, which is definitely a big deal for Liu Yuan, Liu Mansion under the command of Dai Qisi, early in the morning, put on the lights, clean, the chef borrowed from Cui Mansion, has prepared some ingredients that need to be prepared in advance in the kitchen, and the entire Liu Mansion is busy.
However, for such a major matter, the main lord Liu Yuan is not here.
At this moment, Liu Yuan, who was wearing a crimson official uniform and a silverfish bag, appeared in a secret room of the Jinyu family with a serious face, and in front of him, there were more than a dozen ordinary people with men and women, old and young, and these people were the fine works sent by the military department to be trained by Liu Yuan.
To be honest, Liu Yuan was a little disappointed, I thought that there were many beautiful women in those fine works, and training beautiful women to do fine works was something that many people were happy to do, but unfortunately among these people, there was not a single beauty, all of them were ordinary people, the reason why they were ordinary people was not their status, but their appearance, honest and honest, they looked too ordinary, they all had a face that people couldn't pick out when they walked into the crowd, and they had no features.
Perhaps, it is these talents who are suitable for fine work.
Learn to keep a low profile, first and foremost, by not attracting attention.
At the beginning, Liu Yuan was still a little unable to suppress the scene, these people saw that Liu Yuan was young, a hairy boy, and a lowly businessman, all of them were a little casual, and they didn't listen to commands, Liu Yuan didn't bother to quarrel with them, so he went out and changed into an official uniform, and wore the silver money bag, the person was still the same person, but under the backdrop of the official uniform, he looked full of majesty, and one by one he was silent, and suddenly became respectful.
There were a total of twelve people in this batch of study works, the youngest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the old one was almost thirty or forty years old.
Liu Yuan has a little headache, miniature carving, this is playing with ingenuity, more difficult than women's embroidery, in the words of insiders, it is dancing ballet with fingertips, those uncles, their hands are as big as a fan, can they play well? This military department didn't listen to its own requirements clearly, and deliberately made it more difficult for itself?
"Okay, I know that all of you who can appear here are the elites of Datang, and I know that many people present in Lu Dao are not convinced, and they must be thinking in their hearts, why do you want to listen to me here as a milky and undried little child, it seems that it is not possible to show your hands." The corners of Liu Yuan's mouth turned up slightly:
"Now, I'll play a game with you." (To be continued.) )
