Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 20 Childhood Sweetheart

The carriage bell rang and slowly approached. The breeze is coming slowly, and the musk is full of nose. When I looked closer, it was a car.

The carriage was for women, and the front and back of the carriage were empty, but because of the principle of "men and women do not kiss", the front of the carriage that communicated with the husband was covered by a curtain, leaving only the rear empty for ventilation.

The carriage gradually slowed down, as if someone was talking in the carriage, only to hear the captain "call", tighten the reins, the two white horses snorted and raised their heads slightly, and gradually stopped.

Cao Cao raised his head and frowned, and muttered, "Whose noble family is willing to come to this filthy place." ”

Zhang Meng looked around and saw that many poor people near and far seemed to have received some calling, and they gathered to the car.

Shi A and Shan Zhong saw that the momentum was a little wrong, and they couldn't take their eyes off the car, and secretly moved under their feet to protect Zhang Meng in the middle.

At this time, the driver jumped off the horse, seemingly unimpressed by the people who were gradually approaching, but just glanced at Zhang Meng and his party a few times, and then turned to the person in the car: "Sister-in-law, do you want to get out of the car?" ”

As soon as the light blue crepe was lifted, the people inside leaned out half of their bodies, looked left and right, and were helped by the rider to the ground.

The person who got out of the car was a girl with a gentle hair, wearing a Yunying purple Liuxian dress, with a light and slender figure. Turning his head, he lightly swept his eyebrows under the weeping clouds, and his writing was elegant and smart. Although the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, they reveal a faint blandness.

Zhang Meng's memories of the past came to his mind for a while, and he almost blurted out: "Zhaoji! ”

When the girl heard the voice, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and when she saw Zhang Meng clearly, she suddenly smiled like a flower: "Chengying!" ”

Since coming to this era, even though he has repeatedly risked his life, Zhang Meng has never been as nervous as he is now - facing his childhood sweetheart, his state of mind is really difficult to calm down.

The girl's surname is Cai Mingyan, the word Zhaoji, and Xiao Zhang Meng is five years old. Her father is Zhang Meng's teacher Cai Yong.

The current Zhang Meng studied under Cai Yong when he was young, because his mind was not opened, his studies ranked last among the disciples, and he was also prodigal by nature, and he was ridiculed by others.

Cai Yong was away from home for a long time, and the teaching was done by the older disciples, and Zhang Meng was even more disobedient to the discipline, often making some perverse behaviors that did not conform to the identity of Confucianism, and was gradually excluded and neglected. Only Cai Yan, who was precocious, was friendly with him, not only often accompanied him to review his knowledge, but also took the initiative to take the responsibility of persuading Zhang Meng to follow the rules for his father. Although Zhang Meng didn't appreciate it at that time, and even teased and bullied Cai Yan several times, the relationship between the two was naturally closer than others.

Cai Yong is a famous Confucian in the world, and he set the right marriage for his children early. For example, Cai Yan was promised to be married to the children of the Wei family, a big family in Hedong, but Cai Yong has been repeatedly politically implicated since twelve years ago, and is often in exile, and occasionally secretly returns to Beijing for a short time, unable to preside over family affairs, and Cai Yan is still young after all, so although he has a matchmaker appointment with Wei, it has never been implemented.

Zhang Meng had a good impression of Cai Yan, but he was ashamed of himself and felt that he was not worthy of Cai Yan, who was both talented and beautiful, and when he learned the news that Cai Yan was promised to be married to the Hedong Wei family, he just poured a few large jars of wine silently alone, and spent a few days and nights in the dark, and since then he has deliberately kept his distance from Cai Yan, even if he is in the same Jingshi, he has hardly taken the initiative to contact Cai Yan again.

Today's Zhang Meng has both the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the two lives, and the melancholy of seeing each other is self-evident.

Cao Cao also knew Cai Yan, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhao Ji, oh, you haven't gone to Hedong yet." ”

This sentence pierced Zhang Meng's heartstrings, and he immediately looked away, not knowing how to face it.

Cao Cao said again: "Oh, meet with classmates, Chengying, don't you say a few words?" ”

Zhang Meng was upset, suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance, subconsciously looked up, and suddenly saw a beautiful face close at hand, but the expression that should have been cold and lonely was warm because of him, like an iceberg melting, giving people a thrilling beauty.

"Chengying, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Cai Yan smiled, mixed with a little shyness. It's hard to imagine that people who used to get along day and night would be a little strange at this moment.

Zhang Meng tried to squeeze out some smiles, which was very unnatural: "Zhaoji, are you okay?" ”

Cai Yan said lightly: "It's good." He stopped talking, but he became cramped, not knowing what to say.

Cao Cao coughed lightly twice and asked, "How is the teacher?" I heard that he is far away in Wuhui, and I don't know when he will be able to return to Beijing! Cai Yong was slandered in the past and was afraid of being sanctioned by the emperor, so he fled to the southeast, and now lives in Wu County, Huiji County and other places.

Cai Yan replied: "I exchanged letters with my father a month ago, and my father has plans to return to Beijing. ”

Cao Cao said bluntly: "The first emperor Yan has been driving for a long time, and the teacher can indeed come back." At the same time, I saw Cai Yan's driver "humming" from the car to move things down, one, two, three, all of them were big wooden barrels.

"What is this?"

Zhang Meng and the others were all puzzled when they saw the wooden barrel and the people who automatically surrounded the wooden barrel.

Cai Yan explained: "Recently, there has been a turmoil between teachers and students in Beijing, and many bandits have fished in troubled waters, which has affected the people outside Guo. At present, there are hungry people everywhere, and life is unsustainable, and my family has surplus food and wealth, so I send some of it every day to Guowai to help the people here. Those three buckets were filled with boiled corn porridge. ”

By this time, the rider had already taken care of himself to lift the lid of the barrel and take out the wooden spoon. A large number of unkempt and hungry people rushed forward, some handing over dishes and some even clasping their hands together.

Min Gong exclaimed: "Cai Gong's family style is admirable. Sister-in-law Cai is benevolent and virtuous, and she will be blessed. ”

Cao Cao said: "Zhao Ji, this place is dirty and dirty, it is not a safe place, you look at those people, all of them are vulgar and reckless, there is no etiquette, once the chaos will arise, you only have two people, I am afraid that your kindness will not be rewarded." It is difficult to protect oneself by being alone. ”

Cai Yan shook his head lightly: "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." If these poor people can't even satisfy their stomachs, how can we expect them to be polite and righteous, I need to help them first. ”

As he spoke, there was a sudden chaos in the direction of the car, and several people hurriedly looked, but saw a horse speeding from the direction of the city gate. The knight led by the horse galloped wildly, unable to hold back the castration for a while, shouted "get out", and crashed straight into the crowd.

The hungry people fled in a panic, some of them rolled on the ground several times and were embarrassed, some were frightened and screamed and even wept and wailed, and the three large wooden barrels containing the porridge were also broken and poured, and the porridge was salivating and the ground was in shambles.

The rider stopped in front of Zhang Meng and the others, the knight pulled his braid, and the tall and majestic black horse under his crotch shook his neck and neighed, penetrating his eardrums. Immediately after the following several horsemen followed, sitting on the horse, the knights were all equipped with heavy armor, all of them were sturdy, with a murderous face, none of them held weapons, but three or three put down the horse whip, waved the long whip, expelled the people, the afterimage was like a dragon dazzling, and in mid-air one after another crisp whip like a firecracker, full of deterrence.

The knight jumped off his horse, completely ignoring the tragic situation in front of him, first looked down to carefully check the situation of his beloved horse, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was not broken, and then saw a skinny man lying on the side of the horse's hooves at his feet in a daze, showing a very disgusted expression, and kicked him away mercilessly.

Zhang Meng saw the knight's appearance, immediately recognized it, and exclaimed, "Lu Fengxian!" ”

The other party is Lu Bu, who had been photographed outside the house yesterday.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Meng, finally remembered, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's you." As always, the smile was cold.

There was a wailing on the side of the car, and Cai Yan hurriedly ran back to help the driver clean up the mess.

Zhang Meng was unhappy in his heart and asked, "Brother Lu, it's not appropriate to conflict with the people, right?" ”

Lu Bu looked back and wrote lightly: "There are no dead people, what's wrong." Then he said, "On the order of Dong Gong, clean up the houses in this area and use them to garrison the army. ”

When Zhang Meng heard "by the order of Dong Gong", his heart was shocked. After only one night, did what you guessed still happen?
