Liu Xin didn't expect that Cai Yan would have to do so many romantic things on her wedding night, listen to stories, and play the piano. But Liu Xin knew that she was suffering from this terrible pain, and what she needed most now was to have a good time.
After resting, he pinched her small and delicate nose and said, "Go to sleep. Even if you want to play, I don't have a piano here."
Cai Yan said: "I brought Qin here with me. Husband, this Qin has some fate with you. If you hadn't saved me, it would have been destroyed by the fire last time in Xinye."
Liu Xin knew that this must be the famous Jiaowei Qin, but she didn't expect that Cai Yong would be willing to give his most beloved things as a dowry. He didn't even think about it, the old gentleman even gave him his daughter, what else could he do?
Reluctantly. Liu Xin looked down at Cai Yan's pretty face. The blush caused by the passion just now had not faded. If she still refused to rest, she would probably suffer a lot tomorrow, so she deliberately made a serious face and said: "
Okay, if you want to play, you can play it to me when you get up tomorrow. Now your task is to go to bed quickly."
Cai Yan closed his eyes reluctantly and stuck out his tongue playfully. Liu Xin shook her head and lay down.
Liu Xin had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. He woke up before dawn. Liu Xin put on her clothes and opened the door, only to see two pretty maids standing there, Ling'er and
Xiuer sisters.
It turned out that Ma Yun knew that Cai Yan was different from herself, Bian Yu, and Zhu Qian. Although Cai Yan was exiled with his father when he was a child, he still grew up under the care of his parents, even if he could not be said to be a man with clothes to stretch out his hands.
, I can open my mouth when I eat, but my little hands can be used to play the piano, but I can't do housework. Ever since Liu Xin helped the Ling'er sisters to avenge themselves, the twin sisters stayed in the house. The two of them were born in poverty.
, has followed her parents to perform in the arena since she was a child. She is not only smart and diligent, but also rare is that she is very loyal to Liu Xin and Ma Yun. Thinking that Cai Yan does not have many useful and considerate maids around her, Ma Yun takes these two
Sisters have been sent here.
When they were in Ma Yun Courtyard, Du Qiao'er was waiting in front of the master, and the sisters rarely had the opportunity to intervene. Now they are assigned to Cai Yan, and they have become the maids and the heads of the ladies here. The sisters
They knew that Liu Xin had the habit of getting up early. They would get up and get ready every four days or so and wait outside the door, waiting for Liu Xin to call them in. However, they didn't know that Liu Xin always dressed and washed herself without being served.
When Liu Xin saw the two sisters, she was startled for a moment. Then she understood that Ma Yun was really attentive and had thought everything through for Cai Yan, so she said, "You don't have to get up so early in the future. You are not needed here. First,
Go back to bed and I'll just box in the yard."
The two sisters agreed and did not retreat. They were originally poor children, but they had no habit of sleeping, so they stood aside and watched Liu Xin boxing.
When Liu Xin got up just now, Cai Yan also woke up. Last night, Liu Xin took pity on her for the first time and did not demand too much, so her body was not very tired. In addition, although Cai Yong dotes on his daughter on weekdays,
But she was also very strict in her discipline. If Cai Yan hadn't happened to be in the rebellious period of youth and was bewitched by Ma Yun, she would never have dared to make her own decisions about her marriage. However, in this way, she still cultivated her early
The habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Thinking of the scene last night, Cai Yan was still a little shy. When Liu Xin left the door, she sat up, her lower body still aching. Cai Yan got dressed, took out a white silk sweat towel from the quilt, and had a few flowers on it.
The bright red plum blossoms were blooming brilliantly. Cai Yan blushed, folded the sweat towel, and quietly opened the large wooden box she had brought with her as a dowry, stuffing it all the way to the bottom.
Cai Yan stood up straight and looked around. No one noticed him. Then he touched his chest, but his heart was still beating.
The Ling'er sisters were watching Liu Xin boxing in the yard attentively. They had lived in the Zhou Mufu this year, had no worries about food and clothing, and didn't have much work to do. They didn't forget to practice the soft kung fu in their free time.
They were also good at boxing and kicking, and knowing that Liu Xin was very skilled in martial arts, they used to hide in the dark and watch him boxing when they were in Ma Yun's courtyard. Now they could finally just watch from the sidelines.
The two sisters were so absorbed in watching that they didn't even notice that Cai Yan was standing behind them. When Liu Xin finished practicing a set of air-splitting fists, the sisters were shocked to realize that there was someone behind them. They turned around and found that it was Cai Yan. They panicked.
Be polite when going to the toilet.
Cai Yan raised a finger and put it to his lips, making a silent gesture, and then waved to them, indicating that they could follow him in.
Liu Xin adjusted her breathing and started to practice Tai Chi again. After practicing three or five postures, a melodious sound of the piano came from behind. Liu Xin was surprised and stopped. When she looked back, she saw Cai Yan.
Sitting cross-legged at the foot of the steps, there was a short table in front of him. On the table was the Jiaoweiqin that he had saved.
Cai Yan did not raise his head, but he clearly felt Liu Xin's gaze. A pair of slender hands pressed the strings lightly, and the beautiful sound of the piano suddenly stopped. Cai Yan then looked at Liu Xin and smiled sweetly at him.
Liu Xin didn't expect her to get up so early and play the piano to herself, but she was infected by her. She nodded knowingly and turned back to practice boxing attentively. Liu Xin's boxing skills were free and elegant, and Cai Yan's piano music was ethereal and clear.
It formed a wonderful picture, and the Ling'er sisters standing aside were already mesmerized.
At the end of the song, the fists were closed, and the cooperation between the two was perfect. Liu Xin walked to Cai Yan and asked with concern: "Yan'er, why don't you sleep for a while?"
Cai Yan stood up and said: "I am a new daughter-in-law. I always have to pay tribute to my sisters, but I don't dare to stay in bed."
Liu Xin picked up the Jiaowei Qin and took a closer look. This is a famous and unique musical instrument. If it is passed down, it will be a great antique. She immediately fell in love with it and said with a smile: "Our family doesn't have so many rules. They are still here."
It's Dreamland. Your father took out all these precious things. It seems that there are many treasures in this dowry."
No matter how valuable the Jiaowei Qin and Ketingdi were, they were only in later generations, and in Cai Yan's eyes, they were just musical instruments, tools for the literati and poets to be arty. When Liu Xin asked about her dowry, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
He said: "I don't have anything valuable from my family. I only have a few pieces of calligraphy written by my father."
Liu Xin said excitedly: "It turns out that my father-in-law also wrote some calligraphy himself. I want to take a closer look at this."
The items in the big wooden box were taken out one by one. The first item was the Keting flute that Cai Yan cherished very much. It was green in color and as round as jade. Liu Xin took it in his hand and looked at it, but did not express too much emotion.
Although he has great interest in music, he is really not good at musical instruments.
In the era when Liu Xin lived, all kinds of counterfeit goods were rampant. Corrupt officials and profiteers had many antique calligraphy and paintings collected in their homes, of which fakes probably accounted for the majority. Liu Xin didn't want to get it after all the hard work.
However, they are all fakes. For this reason, he has read a lot of books on this subject, and also pays close attention to some treasure appraisal programs, just to improve his appreciation ability and ensure not to be mistaken and fall into the trap of his peers.
laughing stock.
Therefore, Liu Xin looked at the calligraphy works that Cai Yan took out from the box very carefully. These were all handwritten by the great calligrapher Cai Yong. If they were placed in his original era, any one of them would be the best.
Priceless. What surprised him the most was that among these calligraphy works, there were not only a large number of official script works, but also many written in regular script. Although it was different from the regular script of later generations, it was not very different.
Liu Xin looked at these calligraphy works and praised them. They were indeed the work of a great calligrapher. They were indeed extraordinary. They should be collected carefully. They would be a valuable asset for future generations. But he didn't know.
The talented woman standing next to him also had extraordinary calligraphy skills.
Seeing Liu Xin silently looking at the calligraphy, Cai Yan took out another roll of paper from the box, handed it to him and said, "Husband, I wrote this myself. What do you think of it?"
Liu Xin said "Oh", took it and unfolded it gently. What was written on the paper was a passage from the Book of Songs. The handwriting was beautiful. Although it was not as majestic as Cai Yong's book, it had a different air of agility. He couldn't help but nodded secretly and said
: "Yan'er, I didn't expect your handwriting to be so beautiful."
Cai Yan said softly: "Husband, I have been practicing calligraphy with my father since I was a child. These calligraphy are nothing in my father's eyes. However, husband, your calligraphy is indeed a bit too bad. You have to practice it when you have time.
."
Liu Xin nodded vaguely and said, "Well, let's talk, let's talk. If there are any other treasures in the box, take them out and let me see."
Cai Yan was stunned at first, then suddenly his face turned red. He turned around and stopped the box and said, "No more, no more, that's all."
Liu Xin was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. She couldn't help but become curious and asked: "Is it really gone? I don't believe it. There must be something hidden inside. Let me take a closer look."
Cai Yan became even more nervous. He simply leaned on the box and shouted like a child: "You can't see, you can't see, there is really nothing left."
Liu Xin saw her whole upper body lying on the box, her little butt stuck out as high as a full moon, and she was still twisting and turning when she spoke. She couldn't help but become playful and slapped her.
He patted him and pretended to be angry and said: "If you don't tell the truth, be careful about how you handle it."
Cai Yan was already feeling some discomfort in his lower body, so he suddenly hit him again, and couldn't help but exclaimed in pain. He turned around, with tears already rolling in his eyes, and handed an object to Liu Xin's hand with a look of grievance.
He went up and said: "There's really nothing left, it's just this."
Only then did Liu Xin realize that the spanking she had just given seemed a bit harsh, so she grabbed her hand and lightly spanked her buttocks, saying, "Okay, okay, it's my husband's fault. You should give her a slap to calm down."
"
Cai Yan shyly retracted his hand and said, "I'm not angry at all."
Liu Xin then looked at the object in his hand, couldn't help but get up, and said: "Isn't it just a 'package', there's nothing shameful about it."
