Wu Yi's wife Cai is in a very comfortable mood today, since she came to Shudi, this mood has only been done twice, both of which are related to Wu Yi's sister marrying, once to marry Liu Mao, and once to marry Liu Bei. And this time is more special, Wu Yi's credit is earned by himself.

Compared with marrying his sister, of course, he is the most proud of his own achievements. Facing the groups of noble ladies who came to congratulate, Mrs. Cai was happy from the bottom of her heart. These people rarely take her seriously, usually she congratulates others, but today they came together to congratulate her.

Xiahou Hui deliberately stayed until Zuihou, and after everyone else was seated, she stepped forward, bowed and saluted, presented a wooden box with both hands, and said in a Qian Pei accent: "Concubine Xiahou Hui, I would like to congratulate Mrs. with a handwriting." ”

Many of the ladies next to them did not know Xiahou Hui, and when they heard her say that they were congratulating with a pair of calligraphy, and saw Xiahou Hui dressed simply, they all thought it was a small family, and many people sneered to show their contempt. Mrs. Cai didn't pay much attention to her gift, but she was suddenly interested in her accent. Mrs. Cai is a native of Chen Liuyu, and she is very close to Qian Pei, and her accent is somewhat similar. She has been in Shu for many years, and the hometown sound has long become a dream memory, and at this moment, she suddenly heard the hometown sound, and the deep buried memory suddenly surfaced, and a warm current surged into her heart, making her tremble, and her nose was suddenly a little sour.

"You turned out to be from Yanzhou?" Mrs. Cai couldn't tell where the accent was at the moment, so she could only say that it was Yanzhou. Last time, Xiahou Hui came with Wei Ba and talked to her for a while, but at that time, Xiahou Hui spoke Luoyang official dialect. didn't mention her identity, Mrs. Cai only knew that she was Wei Ba's concubine, and she was articulate, and she didn't care where she was from or what her background was. In her opinion, since she is a concubine, her background must be limited, at best, she is a side branch or concubine of a large family.

"Madame has been away from her hometown for many years, and she cares about her homeland, and she actually heard it at once." Xiahou Hui said with a smile: "The concubine is originally a Qian Pei person. ”

"Oh." Mrs. Cai nodded repeatedly. But she soon realized that the matter could be a bit complicated. Qian Pei people. is surnamed Xiahou again, so it is not an ordinary family. If you are associated with Wei Ba again, there is no room for negligence. She quickly restrained her emotions and pretended not to know and said, "I see. Zunfu Wei Shizhong is a young man of my big man. Xiahou is Cao Wei's nobleman again. The virtuous couple came to congratulate. How can the old woman afford it. ”

"The clumsy husband has been taken care of by the general in Xiangyang, and now the general has become a knight, so he should come to congratulate." Xiahou Hui said unhurriedly: "As for the concubine." But it is to admire Chen Liucai's legacy, so he is not presumptuous, and he uses a clumsy article to get an axe before everyone. ”

When Mrs. Cai heard this, she immediately felt comfortable. She was born in Chen Liuyu County, although she is generally educated, but there is a university scholar Cai Yong in the same clan, which is the pride of the entire Chen Liucai family, and even the entire Chen Liu. was held by Xiahou Hui so inconspicuously, she suddenly felt that the little woman in front of her was much cuter.

She hurriedly said a few words modestly, took the box in Xiahou Hui's hand, opened it and saw that it was a manuscript with handwriting and silk show, the first three big characters: Le Yi Theory, and below was a line of small words: Gong Cheng Qianxian Mrs. Cai's axe. I couldn't help but blush a little. Although she was born in the Cai family, her knowledge is actually unbearable, and she can't afford to be the word axe. However, in front of so many guests, Xiahou Hui held her to such a position again, how could she not take a look and praise her.

Mrs. Cai unfolded the manuscript and praised "good calligraphy" first, and when the ladies next to her heard it, they immediately gathered around with fun, and when they saw the beautiful handwriting, they couldn't help but be amazed. There are not many women in these years who are literate, even if they have the conditions at home, there are few who can read and write, most of them can read and write their own names, and there are even fewer who have a good hand in calligraphy. Xiahou Hui's calligraphy was enough to make them breathtaking.

"Miss Xiahou, your calligraphy ......" Mrs. Cai looked at it for a moment, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and couldn't help asking: "But you have to be from my Cai family?" ”

Xiahou Hui patted his palm and praised: "Madame is really discerning. The concubine wrote and said, she had been instructed by Mrs. Cai Zhaoji, but her qualifications were too poor and she didn't get eleven. ”

Mrs. Cai suddenly realized, and couldn't help but glance at Xiahou Hui: "I see, I said that it looks a little familiar, but you are my sister Zhaoji's disciple." In this way, we still have some origins. ”

"Being in the same township with his wife is the fate of the concubine." The corners of Xiahou Hui's eyes were crooked, and he smiled. Where did she learn any calligraphy from Cai Yan, but Cai Yong's posthumous writings written by Cai Yan were hidden in the palace, and she was fortunate to have seen them. Before coming to the Wu Mansion, she had carefully studied the situation of this Mrs. Cai and specially prepared this gift.

Sure enough, this relationship finally touched Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Cai personally affirmed this origin, and it will be easy to handle in the future.

As soon as they saw that Mrs. Cai introduced Xiahou Hui as a junior in the township, and knew that the little woman in front of her was Wei Ba's woman, those noble ladies no longer dared to be careless, and they all gathered around, some praised Xiahou Hui for her beauty, and some praised her calligraphy haode, in short, find out all kinds of advantages to boast about it, so as to get closer to the relationship.

Mrs. Cai read the manuscript seriously, and then sighed: "The future is terrifying, your "Treatise on Le Yi", even those self-proclaimed talents may not be able to write it. I'm just a shallow learner.,I don't dare to put my beak.,I think the only one who is qualified to comment is probably my high-fated sister Zhaoji.。 ”

"Madame's praise is false, and I dare not be ashamed." Xiahou Hui hurriedly said a few words modestly. At this moment, she was already sitting beside Mrs. Cai unconsciously, leaning on Mrs. Cai's legs, like a deferential junior. At some point, Mrs. Cai's hand caressed her back, like an elder taking care of the younger generations in the family, and the two talked and laughed in the local accent, and let out a happy chuckle from time to time.

Guan Feng stood on the periphery of the crowd, watching Xiahou Hui break Mrs. Cai's psychological defense line from a distance in just a few words, and couldn't help but pout, both a little admiration and a little self-deprecation. Xiahou Hui is such a shrewd person, and he has prepared the right gifts in advance, so he naturally thought about getting close to Mrs. Cai before he came. It's ridiculous that he still instructs her enthusiastically. This is called Gao Ming, compared with her, her little cleverness is not worth mentioning.

"Sister, isn't my sister Yuanrong very smart?" Zhang Xingcai didn't know when he came over again, tilted his face, and looked at Guan Feng.

Guan Feng glanced at her and crooked his mouth: "I must be smarter than you." ”

"Hee-hee, of course." Zhang Xingcai said with a smile: "My mother said that Sister Yuanrong is the hero among our women, but unfortunately she is a daughter." Otherwise. I'm afraid that ordinary men are no match for her. She saw that Guan Feng's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "It's like my sister's martial arts skills are so good that she can beat men all over the ground to find their teeth." ”

"Are you praising me or hurting me?" Guan Feng raised his eyebrows. There is something unkind in the eyes.

"Of course it's a compliment on you." Zhang Xingcai took a step back with a weak heart. Make fists with both hands. Protecting his mouth, his big eyes flashed and blinked: "You and Sister Yuanrong are both heroes among women." ”

"And!" Guan Feng didn't know what to say. can only feign disdain.

……

After the banquet was dispersed, Wu Yi and his wife sat opposite each other in the inner room, and all the gifts went to the treasury, except for the "Treatise on Le Yi" given by Xiahou Hui on the table between the two. Wu Yi had already read this manuscript, and at this moment he was slowly sipping wine, his brows were lightly locked, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to be making some difficult decision.

Mrs. Cai looked at Wu Yi quietly and waited silently. Although she is not proficient in scheming, she can understand Xiahou Hui's intentions today. Zhuge Liang wanted to stop Wei Ba's career through the marriage between Wei Ba and Dongwu, Wei Ba saw the key point, but he couldn't oppose it explicitly, so he could only pass a message into the palace through them and ask the queen mother to come forward to stop it. If he really did this, Zhuge Liang would definitely know who played a role in the middle, and the Wu family might be forced to go to the opposite side of Zhuge Liang.

Although the Wu family has always had opinions on Zhuge Liang's suppression, they still lack the courage to really oppose Zhuge Liang, otherwise Wu Yi would not have been silent before.

"Madam, the last time Xiahou Hui came, he didn't show this relationship, this time Weishenme wants to show it?" Wu Yi put down the wine glass and sighed softly: "You should also know the truth here." If Wei Ba hadn't been cornered, he wouldn't have come to beg me. ”

"Of course I understand that. It is precisely because I understand this truth that I feel that I cannot let go of this opportunity. Mrs. Cai said lightly: "Think about it, Fufeng's Fazheng is dead, Peng Yi of Yizhou has fallen, Liao Li of Jingxiang has been degraded, and Li Yan, who has been entrusted with the edict, is not in a good situation now." How could Zhuge Liang let go of a person who might threaten him? In the past, you didn't come out because you wouldn't attract Zhuge Liang's attention. Now that you have become a general of the chariot and cavalry, the leader of the warriors, can you still stay out of it? ”

"I know this, but Wei Ba's erection is very slippery, you don't expect him to clash head-on with Zhuge Liang. He wants to have it both ways, but he's just using us. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Mrs. Cai asked rhetorically, "If he is the kind of person who is reckless, are you willing to help him?" ”

Wu Yi frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and gently tapped the manuscript with his hand: "In this case, you just hand this manuscript to the palace, and don't say anything else." There are Zhuge Liang's eyes and ears everywhere in the palace, we must be careful and don't be too obvious. ”

Mrs. Cai laughed silently: "You, it's really wishful thinking. Looking at so many things today, do you think you can hide it? Although the woman who personally picked mulberries and raised silkworms did not come, at least half of the people at today's banquet would find a reason to report. We and the Wei family are destined to be indistinguishable. ”

Wu Yi glanced at Mrs. Cai and didn't say anything, but her brows furrowed more and more. This Xiahou Hui beside Wei Ba is so shrewd, I really don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. The battle in the court is too risky, once he stands on the wrong team, there is a danger of ruining his family, he has always refused to get too close to Wei Ba, but he did not expect to be broken through the defense line by Wei Ba from the back hall. That's what makes it impossible to prevent it. At this point, if he still refuses to help, it is undoubtedly clear that he wants to draw a clear line with Wei Ba, in case Wei Ba succeeds in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not retaliate against him.

No one can afford to mess with it, it's really a dilemma. (To be continued......)
