Chapter 79 Madam, it’s late at night
Cai Yan was brought back from Sili by Cao Cao years ago.
After she had just married Wei Zhongdao, the latter died of tuberculosis not long after, and she was also dismissed by the Wei family.
Originally, Cai Yan wanted to spend her life with her father, Cai Yong.
Unexpectedly, the situation in Chang'an changed in the blink of an eye, and after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun couldn't stand his father and had him imprisoned to death.
Since then, Cai Yan has been living in relatives' homes.
However, life like this is a bit difficult after all. After the turmoil in Chang'an, even her relatives had a hard time.
Later, Cao Cao received the news from nowhere.
Someone was sent to take her to Yanzhou.
Knowing that it was Cao Cao who came to visit, Cai Yan did not choose to refuse.
The Cai family and the Cao family were more or less family friends, and she even called Cao Cao her elder brother.
Not far from here, a girl holding a guqin was staring at him with her eyes raised.
"Fengyi, are you worried about your wife?"
Beside, Cao Song also raised his head after hearing this.
She doesn't have the slightest bit of jealousy, maybe most women of this era are like this.
The movement of the two people entering the backyard was quickly noticed by Mrs. Ding and others.
"Okay, it's almost time!"
Cai Yan, who was holding Jiao Weiqin, raised his head slightly when he heard the sound.
Noticing Xi Yu's gaze, Gan Mei couldn't help but blush a little. Just as she was about to get up, Mrs. Bian next to her pressed her down.
"ah!"
Although he was a little surprised that Cai Yan appeared in the Cao Mansion, he didn't think much about it after that.
Even if the other party has been in exile for decades, after returning, he can still compile countless famous books based on his memory.
He glanced at his wife and others, and naturally Mrs. Ding and others understood that they were not pulling Gan Mei to continue playing Landlords.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the sound of warblers and swallows coming from the lit pavilion not far away.
"The game Fengyi invented is really good. We are asking our sister to teach us. Fengyi won't mind, right?"
"Sister, I misunderstood, Zhao Ji is a guest in my house!"
I originally thought that Yanzhou would be in a similar situation to Chang'an, but I never thought that after arriving in Yanzhou, Cai Yan would know that the Han Dynasty still had a prosperous place.
It's good that Gan Mei can get along well with Cao Cao's wives, and Xi Yu won't be surprised.
"Ma'am, are you kidding me?"
If the Han Dynasty is prosperous, what will happen to a woman like Cai Yan even if she withdraws from the Wei family?
And the other party is a talented woman who has been passed down through the ages. Such a woman will be sympathized by countless people in later generations.
However, when Xi Yu heard this, his whole body stiffened.
"How are you doing today, madam?"
The crescent moon in front of him made a few verses appear in his mind subconsciously, and he couldn't help but read them out casually.
"Ayu, has Fengyi's room been settled?"
Seeing the smile on Gan Mei's face, Xi Yu pushed her away.
"Yeah, no one wants to see troubled times!"
After all, he doesn't like Cai Yan's type, he likes someone more mature.
Mrs. Bian next to her saw that Gan Mei seemed to have misunderstood, so she quickly stepped forward and explained Cai Yan's origins.
How could it be like this now, where the wife took the initiative to help him find a new wife for himself.
Noticing that there was no jealous look in the other person's eyes, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
"I am not Brother Mengde's concubine. The little girl Cai Yan has met Mr. Xi!"
He was so excited that he didn't think much about it, but immediately after Gan Mei's next words, his head suddenly became a little big.
At this time, Cao Cao's wives and Ganmei were sitting around the stone table in the pavilion, playing cards.
Cai Yan can appear here now, but he has avoided a miserable life in the future.
Of course, if he refuses a woman like Cai Zhaoji, it would be difficult for anyone to refuse her!
Listening to Cai Yan's extremely serious praise, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Xiyu thought of many things in his mind.
"Um?"
Gan Mei took the initiative to say hello to the other party. This greeting made Cai Yan a little flustered.
Unexpectedly, there was a so-called unexpected surprise today.
After lying on the bed and holding Ganmei in his arms, Xi Yu asked casually.
"Madam, it's late at night. Listening to the noise outside, it seems like it's raining!"
Speaking of Cai Yong, in fact, if he is placed in later generations, he should be a standard literati to be precise.
At this time, Cao Cao saw several ladies enjoying playing cards around, and he seemed to have a little interest.
However, Xiyu never thought about marrying the other party.
Xiyu stood a little weirdly on the side.
Hearing Gan Mei suddenly say Cai Yan, Xi Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
When they got closer, Xi Yu took the initiative to salute Mrs. Ding and others, and the latter also returned the salute: "I've met Mr. Xi!"
Cao Cao was very concerned about Xi Yu's emphasis on his wife.
In this era, the reason why the other party can be remembered in his heart is more because Cai Yan's subsequent life was somewhat miserable.
"Sir, Zhao Ji admires him for being able to do things for the people like this!"
Mrs. Bian smiled and explained to Xi Yu.
Later, there are Jiangdong Erqiao, Luoshui goddess Zhen Mi, Gongyao Ji Sun Shangxiang, etc...
The woman wears a light green skirt and has a woman's bun on her head.
Hearing this, Xi Yu also smiled: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you are just kidding!"
He couldn't blend in directly with such a group of people like Cao Cao.
"I heard that many of Yanzhou's policies were advised by Mr. Mengde?"
He was still a little worried that Gan Mei would reluctantly blend in with Cao Cao's family members for his own sake.
What a talented woman!
The aura that surrounds you can add a lot of points to your appearance.
He thought that Nizi in his arms was a little jealous, so he couldn't help but chuckle.
Xi Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Gan Mei.
"Does Alang like Sister Zhaoji? If so, I will ask for you tomorrow!"
Cao Cao said casually to Xi Yu, and upon hearing this, Xi Yu nodded.
Lying on Xi Yu's chest, Gan Mei couldn't help but ask Xi Yu after a while.
…
Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu's frown and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When Xi Yu was looking up at the moonlight alone, a soft voice sounded from the side.
"I, I'm not..."
"Please express your condolences regarding Mr. Cai!"
Xi Yu mistakenly thought that the other party was one of Cao Cao's concubines who was about to receive a gift, and the woman in front of him quickly waved her hand.
Xiyu naturally noticed the quiet movement in the pavilion.
This era was very tolerant of women, not to mention that with Cai Yong's status, there were not a few people who came to the house to get married.
Cao Song praised him again. When Xi Yu heard the old man's praise, he was somewhat used to it.
Cai Wenji?
No, to be precise at this time, it should be Cai Zhaoji!
Hearing this voice, Cao Cao had a smile on his face and his eyes narrowed.
When Cai Yan looked at Gan Mei, Gan Mei was also looking at the woman in front of him.
"The gentleman's literary talent is even better than that of the little girl!"
Among the more famous beauties in the Three Kingdoms, besides Ganmei.
In other future generations, some husbands would be in a state of panic every time they glanced at other women.
After hearing that Cao Cao had arranged everything, Xi Yu did not refuse.
Noticing that Gan Mei's eyes were always looking in the direction of Xi Yu, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.
"The world has been in turmoil for too long. Not only me, but the people of the entire world probably want to restore peace to the world!"
The sun sets in the west.
What Xi Yu didn't notice was that at this moment, several pairs of eyes had already looked over at the stone table in the pavilion.
Now that the other party is in the Cao Mansion, his originally tragic life fate has naturally changed.
but!
I have to say that women in this era are so considerate.
Looking at Xi Yu standing not far away, Cai Yan couldn't help but asked curiously.
It was a bit unintentional, but he didn't expect to receive praise from a famous and talented woman, which naturally made him a little happy.
Hearing the sound, Xi Yu, who came back to his senses, subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
The main reason why Cai Yong died was that he missed his friendship with Dong Zhuo.
But for more people, troubled times mean it is harder to survive.
Cai Yan's tone was leisurely, as if he was thinking of his father's ending.
"The fine shadow will be round, and you can see it in several places in the world."
In desperation, Xi Yu could only stay at Cao's house to have dinner to make up for not attending the dinner last night.
Outside the pavilion, the two of them were chatting.
After all, except for his wife, everyone else is Cao Cao's concubine.
This was also the first time that Cai Yan heard the name Xiyu.
"Alang had a good talk with Sister Zhaoji today?"
After learning about the other party's policies, Cai Yan somewhat admired Xi Yu.
"Fengyi, come with me to the backyard to pick up your wife!"
Although some policies were indeed proposed by him, officials from all over Yanzhou contributed a lot to improving them.
A character like Cai Zhaoji, if placed in a martial arts novel, would be a perfect template for Wang Yuyan.
He was able to compose poems casually based on the situation, even without even a moment's effort. Cai Yan felt that he still lacked some skills.
When Cai Yan heard the poem that Xi Yu recited casually, he subconsciously read it in his mouth, and then couldn't help but praise it.
It was obviously a family dinner for the Cao family, but the old man valued Xi Yu, an outsider, more than anyone else.
And soon after, she knew that, apart from Cao Cao, the one person in Yanzhou that could have such a scene now was Xi Yu.
Cao Cao raised his eyes at Xi Yu and said that he had married several concubines so far, and his posture was a bit proud.
Xi Yu stayed with the old lady at Cao's house for a whole day. Even after Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai had taken the initiative to leave, the old lady still held Xi Yu back and refused to let the other party leave.
Cai Yan had already looked past his own experience. After explaining it, he took the initiative to play the piano music for everyone.
Xi Yu had thought before that he would try to change the other person's fate if he had the chance.
I never thought that such a beautiful woman before me would have such a tortuous experience.
Xi Yu sighed casually.
"Meet all the ladies!"
This is a famous talented woman in history, and it was also a famous walking library in the late Han Dynasty.
“What a poem!”
"I'm just doing what I can do!"
After feeling a warm feeling in his heart, Xi Yu hugged the person in his arms tighter.
Ganmei naturally noticed what was going on here. Seeing her husband chatting and laughing with the other women, she didn't feel jealous at all.
In this era, there are too few people who can still work wholeheartedly for the people.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Cai Yan, who is staying at Cao's house, is naturally accompanied by Mrs. Ding and others.
"Everything is fine, Sister Ding and the others are very nice to me!"
Xi Yu didn't pay much attention and turned his head to look at the sky again.
Hearing this, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Cai Yan is a famous and talented woman in the Han Dynasty. I have heard of her reputation before, and I heard that her father's entire library of classics has been memorized in her mind. It is quite admirable!"
After saying hello to the old lady, Xi Yu followed Cao Cao towards the back house.
what's the situation?
Is this girl really jealous, or does she really mean it?
Regarding Cai Yan, Xi Yu actually didn't have many thoughts in her heart.
Cai Yan didn't expect that Xi Yu had heard of his reputation, and was obviously a little surprised when he heard the other party's praise.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. He didn't know when the crescent moon had risen.
She, why is she in Cao Cao's house?
According to this time, the other party should still be in Chang'an. After the turmoil, the other party will be kidnapped by the barbarians.
"I've met Miss Zhao Ji!"
"Is it so powerful?"
Cai Yan is among them, and sometimes he doesn't rank at all.
Today, when she saw Xi Yu and Cai Yan talking and laughing, Gan Mei couldn't help but have an idea in her mind.
Cai Yan?
Did Ganmei notice it before?
Xi Yu had no idea what Gan Mei was thinking about this.
The troubled times of the Three Kingdoms were an era when heroes emerged in large numbers. Perhaps for those generals and counselors, this was the best era.
By this time, everyone was full of wine and food, and Cao Cao patted Xi Yu on the shoulder.
"Fengyi, let Ayu take you and your wife to the guest room!"
In such a situation, Xiyu would still stand for the other party.
Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian beside them looked uncertain. They both looked at Ganmei.
After bringing Cai Yan back, Cao Cao was worried about how to settle Cai Yan. He couldn't take him back by himself.
Hearing Xi Yu's concerned question, Gan Mei shook her head decisively.
Cai Yan laughed.
He didn't think much, he said something to Cai Yan, and then took the initiative to walk towards Gan Mei and others.
"By the way, I have arranged guest rooms for you tonight, and you will stay at my house tonight!"
Cao Cao asked Mrs. Bian, who nodded.
His eyes also looked at Xi Yu, who was chatting happily with Cai Yan.
So much so that in the end, he died because of this kindness.
On the other side, Cao Cao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
After arriving at the back house, Xi Yu looked up and saw the Cao family's backyard was brightly lit.
"Is it Mr. Xi?"
But later Xi Yu valued Gan Mei, so Cao Cao put aside the matter about Cai Yan for the time being.
"Meet my sister!"
Until she heard that Xi Yu's wife was also coming.
When he learned that Xi Yu was never married, he had always been concerned about it.
He didn't mean to show off in front of Cai Yan just now, but this poem came to his mind subconsciously when he looked at the moon in front of him.
Although the poems written by Xi Yu are not in the Yuefu format, they are also very rhythmic. If you read them carefully and combine them with the scene at this time, they are quite beautiful.
As if he could see through Xi Yu's inner thoughts at a glance, Gan Mei smiled softly.
Seeing Xi Yu frowning from time to time, Cao Cao thought that Xi Yu was worried about his wife.
Because of this, Cao Cao had previously intended to bring Cai Yan back. He originally planned to bring Cai Yan and Xi Yu together.
"Fengyi, have you ever thought about marrying a few more people?"
"Ma'am?"
Later, Cai Yan was brought back by Cao Cao. Part of the reason was because of Xi Yu.
Xiyu curled his lips and did not respond.
In order not to drag down his relatives, Cai Yan followed him to Yanzhou.
What caught his eye was a woman in a plain palace dress. She had a woman's bun on her head, and there were stars between her eyebrows.
After hearing the reason, Gan Mei couldn't help but feel a little pity in her eyes.
Gan Mei couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then she seemed to have an idea.
Xi Yu stared, the person in front of him blushed slightly, and his bright eyes blinked slightly.
"Po Yi is as small as a hook, and he beats the Han army."
He was too playful to take all the credit directly to himself.
Cai Yong was not suitable for politics. Just because Dong Zhuo recalled him to Luoyang, Cai Yong remembered Dong Zhuo's kindness.
What's more, after marrying Xi Yu, Gan Mei already felt that she was very lucky. However, after a few months of marriage, her stomach had not moved at all.
Xi Yu saluted her again, and then couldn't help but praise her: "The girl is so famous that it impresses the big man. Xi Yu is lucky to see the girl today!"
Although Cai Yan was married to Wei Zhongdao and was considered a married woman, Wei Zhongdao was a loser after all. He died before they formally came to the court to get married.
This made Gan Mei somewhat worried.
A night without words! In the pond outside the window, carp spit out beads and rain hits the banana trees!
He took Ganmei and followed Mrs. Bian to the Cao family's guest room quickly.
Xi Yu stretched out his hand to lift the Ganmei in his arms.
Seeing that the expression of the person in front of him didn't look fake, Xi Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Alang really likes Sister Zhaoji!"
After saying this, the man in his arms laughed.
Maybe it was because he wasn't very happy playing with the old lady before, so he took the initiative to play with the other two concubines.
"Fengyi has a family-oriented temperament!"
"You can't believe it. Most of the strategies are the result of joint discussions among Yanzhou's counselors!"
The first rain after the new year came quietly at midnight, the sound of rain mixed with the faint sound of whispers, and passed away quietly.
After the sky became brighter the next day, the rain last night also stopped early.
The air after the rain became a bit more comfortable. After Xi Yu got up, he took the initiative to take Gan Mei and everyone in the Cao Mansion to say goodbye.
As for Gan Mei's suggestion of taking the initiative to help him inquire about Zhao Ji, Xi Yu didn't take it to heart at all.
Chapter completed!
