Liu Xin had always had a good impression of Tian Feng and Jushou. They were both talented and dedicated. Since Tian Feng proposed to visit his friends, how could Liu Xin not agree, so he said, "I will definitely go this time."
You have to be more urgent, so you go and come back quickly. By the way, who is this friend of yours?"
Although Liu Xin just asked casually, Tian Feng still answered seriously: "My friend is well versed in classics and history, good at poetry, calligraphy, and music. He was framed by an adulterer five years ago and was exiled to the north. Later, he returned to the north.
He offended the prefect and was exiled to the south again. I heard that he received an amnesty at the end of last year and returned to Luoyang. I have already found out where he lives and would like to visit him tonight."
Liu Xin couldn't help laughing and said, "Yuan Hao, why don't you just tell me his name?"
Tian Feng also laughed dumbly: "Haha, my lord is teaching you a lesson. My friend's name is Cai Yong, also known as Bo Zhe."
When Liu Xin heard this, she said: "Oh, it's him. Just wait, I'll go with you."
Now that Ma Yun is here, Liu Xin has to say hello to her before going out at night. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard bursts of laughter coming from the room.
It turned out that Bian Yu was born in a brothel, and what she was best at was observing people's emotions. When she found out that Ma Yun was Liu Xin's wife, she was careful and wanted to get closer to her. After dinner, Bian Yu did not go back, but made an excuse to take a look.
The young master entered Ma Yun's room. She came prepared. During the chat, every sentence touched on Ma Yun's heart.
Ma Yun has always been soft-spoken and soft-hearted. She burst into tears when Bian Yu talked about her childhood experiences. She also admired her for being able to emerge from the filth without being stained. In addition, Liu Xin and she were not involved in an affair.
As they chatted, they gradually grew fond of her. By the time Liu Xin entered the room, Ma Yun and Bian Yu had become so good that they had been best friends for many years and were treated like sisters.
Ma Yun was a little unhappy when she heard that Liu Xin was coming out again. She curled her lips and said, "I'm not going to be drunk and happy again."
Liu Xin glared at her angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am accompanying Mr. Tian Feng to meet one of his old friends, Cai Yong."
"Ah, Cai Yong!" Ma Yun opened her mouth and asked, "Is he Cai Wenji's father? Oh, my God, I want to go too."
Liu Xin asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"
Ma Yun said seriously: "Cai Wenji is a famous and talented woman. I admire her so much. Maybe I can meet her when I go to her house this time."
Liu Xin looked at Ma Yun who suddenly turned into a star-struck fan, shook her head helplessly and said, "If you want to go, move quickly and change into men's clothes."
Ma Yun quickly ran back to the room, changed into men's clothes and came out. Since giving birth to Liu Yu, Ma Yun insisted on breastfeeding. Now she is still in the breastfeeding period, and her breasts are particularly plump. Although the weather is cold,
Wearing relatively good clothes
She was thick and covered with a robe, but if you look closely you can still see something strange, not to mention she has such a handsome face. Although Liu Xin is good at disguise, she was short of time and did not have time to help her put on makeup.
, can only set off in a hurry.
Although Luoyang was at the feet of the emperor, Liu Xin still called Dian Wei, a super bodyguard, based on the principle of being careful in handling the ten thousand year ship. Ma Yun could not ride a horse, so she had to ride with Liu Xin, so the four people and three horses left
Posthouse, go to Cai Yong's house.
Tian Feng found out the road to Cai Yong's house as soon as he arrived in Luoyang in the afternoon. After turning a few alleys, he found a group of low houses in front of him. Liu Xin frowned, but he didn't expect that the famous writer
, the great calligrapher Cai Yong lived in such a shabby place.
Tian Feng noticed Liu Xin's expression and explained: "My lord, in fact, Cai Yong used to be quite wealthy, but because he offended a traitor, he was exiled for many years. His savings have been exhausted, and he even sold his house.
Now that I have returned to Luoyang, I have no money, so I have to find an old house in this slum to stay temporarily."
Ma Yun looked around, seeing the dilapidated houses and dirty environment, and couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that Cai Yong's family would be reduced to this."
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Life is always ups and downs. It is inevitable for everyone to have downturns. It doesn't matter if the house is dilapidated. Haven't you heard of a saying? Mountains are not high, and immortals are famous. Water is not there.
Deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual."
Ma Yun was sitting behind Liu Xin and couldn't help laughing out loud. She pinched him hard and whispered provocatively: "You are quite capable. Remember "Inscription on the Humble Room". What's the meaning of the following sentence?
, tell me."
Liu Xin's face heated up at what she said, she turned her head, glared at her, and whispered: "Don't you know how much ink your husband has in his stomach? You still want to make your husband look embarrassed."
While they were talking, they had already arrived in front of Cai Yong's house. The four of them got off their horses together, and Tian Feng went up to knock on the door alone.
Ma Yun heard the faint sound of a piano coming from the house, looked at the mottled steps, and couldn't help but continue what Liu Xin had just said: "This is a humble house, but I am kind. The moss marks on the steps are green, and the grass is green on the curtains."
"There are scholars who talk and laugh, and there are no white men who come and go. You can tune the plain qin and read the golden scriptures. There is no confusion of silk and bamboo, and there is no labor of writing documents. How can it be so shabby?"
In a hurry, Ma Yun couldn't think of any good sentences to adapt, so she had to skip the part about Zhuge Lu in Nanyang.
Before Ma Yun finished speaking, the door opened, and an old man in his fifties came out. He recognized Tian Feng at a glance and said happily: "Oh, it's Brother Yuan Hao, why are you here?"
Tian Feng repeatedly cupped his hands and said: "Brother Bojie, you are well! Tian is going to Jingzhou tomorrow. He passed by Luoyang and heard that Brother Bojie was back, so he came here to visit. Brother Bojie's spirit is as good as ever, and he is also
It’s a joy to be able to escape the catastrophe!”
"Well, to be honest, my current situation is hard to describe." Cai Yong sighed, looked at Liu Xin and others, and asked: "Yuan Hao, who are these?"
Without Liu Xin, Tian Feng was inconvenient to tell him clearly. He just introduced in a hesitant way: "These people came from Hejian with me. They have admired the name of Bojie for a long time and came to visit him specially. This is Mr. Liu and this is Mr. Ma.
Young Master, this is Young Master Dian."
Cai Yong saw that his words were unclear and difficult to question, so he let them into the hall. Although the hall was simple, there were several cases and a screen behind it. Although the cases were solved, they were clean.
, neatly. Behind the two desks on the left hand, there were already two young people sitting cross-legged, both of whom were very talented. When the two young people saw Liu Xin and his party coming in, they stood up quickly. Everyone had finished the ceremony.
Cai Yong also introduced them, but did not go into details. He only introduced these two young men, one with the surname of Xun and the other with the surname of Wei.
Everyone sat down again, and Liu Xin and the others sat behind the desks in the row on the right. Cai Yong took a look and saw that the young master named Liu was sitting at the top, while Tian Feng was sitting at the bottom seat, and the young master Dian was not sitting down.
Next, I just stood behind Master Liu with my hands behind my back, and I already knew in my heart that this Master Liu must be a child of some noble family.
Cai Yong couldn't help but look down on Tian Feng, thinking that he had also learned to follow others' influence, and said: "Yuan Hao, I just heard you chanting outside the door, 'There are great scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no white men who come and go.'", "There are no silk bamboos."
It's easy to say this, but hard to do it."
Tian Feng naturally heard the sarcasm in Cai Yong's words, but he didn't understand the reason. However, these words were indeed not said by him, so he could only point at Ma Yun and said: "Brother Bozhe is ridiculous, these words are not from me."
What you are talking about is the masterpiece of Mr. Ma."
Cai Yong couldn't help being a little surprised. He looked Ma Yun up and down and saw that this young man was handsome, even more beautiful than the women. Who knew he had such talent? He couldn't help but praise: "What a formidable young man!"
Just now, the old man was talking about Cifu with Mr. Xun and Mr. Wei in the house, and he was lamenting that they are all rare young talents in the world. I didn't expect to see such a talented person as Mr. Ma again. I really can't bear to be old!"
Ma Yun quickly waved her hand and said, "Mr. Cai has given me the award, but this article was not written by me."
"Master Ma, don't be too modest. I pride myself on being well-read, but I have never read this article. It is definitely not the work of my predecessors." Cai Yong said and looked at Xun and Wei again, "Mr. Xun, Mr. Wei
, you two are also knowledgeable, have you ever seen this article?"
Mr. Xun seemed to have figured out that Ma Yun was a woman disguised as a man, so he smiled and said nothing. But Mr. Wei nodded and said, "It's true that I was born late."
Liu Xin didn't pay attention to Mr. Wei at first, but now when she listened to him speak and took a closer look, she remembered that he was the young man she met in front of Zui Hongchen's door last night, and unconsciously nodded to him. Mr. Wei did not remember it.
Liu Xin, seeing him nodding towards her, also smiled friendly.
Cai Yong had already looked at Ma Yun again and asked: "Master Ma, since you said you didn't do it, who did it?"
Ma Yun glanced at Liu Xin beside her and blamed her, it's all your fault for dragging the text. Can I tell him who wrote the "Inscription on the Humble Room"? Suddenly, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she moved her delicate hand towards
Liu Xin pointed and said: "Mr. Cai, it is indeed not me who did it, but my husband...eldest brother."
Cai Yong originally saw Liu Xin sitting carelessly at the table and had no good impression of him. When he heard that this wonderful article was actually written by him, he didn't believe it, so he said sarcastically: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be this person."
Young master did it, but I don’t know whether your surname is Liu or Lao?"
Ma Yun covered her mouth and snickered, and continued to talk nonsense: "Mr. Cai misunderstood, his surname is Liu, and husband is his given name."
Cai Yong didn't expect that someone would choose such a strange name. A very young person would add "老" in the name. He felt disdainful and secretly shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter what the name or the name. Can Mr. Liu change this name?"
It’s a good article, so I’ll read it again and listen to it?”
Liu Xin originally accompanied Tian Feng to visit his old friend, so he didn't speak until he entered the hall. When he heard Ma Yun push this "Inscription on a Humble Room" to him, he couldn't help but be shocked. Fortunately, Liu Xin has good memory.
Okay, I just listened to Ma Yun read it once, and I remembered it clearly. She stood up, cleared her throat, read it again, and then said: "Mr. Cai, two young masters, Liu's family was poor when he was young.
, living in a humble place, this is Liu’s motivational motto, which makes everyone laugh.”
Everyone applauded in unison, and Cai Yong also looked at Liu Xin with admiration. Only Ma Yun kept laughing.
Suddenly, a girl came out from behind the screen and said to Liu Xin: "Husband, your motto is really great!"
