Liu Xin suddenly heard a young and soft female voice calling her "husband", and she had a strange feeling. He followed the sound and looked around, and his eyes lit up. She was a beautiful classical girl with a tall figure and a handsome appearance.
She is dignified, her cheeks are red, her eyebrows are like the moon, her pupils are watery, and her temples are shining, she is such a graceful, calm, elegant and refined beauty!
Although Liu Xin had seen many beauties, her expression was still stagnant. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm, and Ma Yun's laughing voice came to her ears: "Little sister, the word husband is
I can only call him, no one else can call him randomly."
The girl looked confused and asked puzzledly: "How can there be only one name for a word?"
"Yan'er, don't be rude!" Cai Yong scolded the girl with a straight face, then turned to Tian Feng and the others and said, "Yuan Hao, this is my little girl. I'm used to pampering her, so I can't be rude.
Please forgive me."
Liu Xin and Ma Yun looked at each other. It turned out that this was the protagonist they wanted to see when they came to Cai's house tonight. In their memory, she was still a little girl of seven or eight years old. Unexpectedly, she was already a young girl.
Already.
Tian Feng was already full of praise: "Uncle, I have long heard that your daughter is both talented and beautiful. When I saw her today, she truly lived up to her reputation."
"Where, where." Cai Yong had no children, which was a lifelong regret. However, he was still very proud of having such an outstanding daughter. Hearing Tian Feng's praise, he spoke modestly and asked Liu Xin: "Liu Xin
The young master is very talented, but I don’t know what to do for a living now?”
Although Cai Yong was asking about Liu Xin, he looked at Ma Yun from time to time with a look of disgust.
Seeing his expression, Tian Feng understood in his heart that Cai Yong must have misunderstood the ambiguous behavior of the two of them just now. At this time, masculinity was not popular, and those who occasionally had Longyang habits were often ridiculed, so he said:
"Bo Zhe, to be honest, this Mr. Liu is my lord, the new Master Liu of Jingzhou, this Mr. Ma is my mistress, Mrs. Ma, and that one is my lord's brother, General Dian Weidian."
Cai Yong couldn't help but change his expression after hearing his introduction. He stood up and said, "Brother Yuan Hao, please take a step to speak."
Tian Feng followed Cai Yong out of the hall and came to a remote place.
Seeing that there was no one around, Cai Yong turned to Tian Feng and said sternly: "Yuan Hao, they say you are an upright person, but it turned out to be a misinformation. I didn't expect you to become a eunuch today!"
Tian Feng asked in surprise: "Brother Bozhe, why did you say this?"
Cai Yong said with contempt: "Who in this capital doesn't know that the new Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Xin is working with Zhang Rang, and it was he who stole Wang Rui's official position through Zhang Rang."
When Tian Feng saw his expression, he felt unhappy and said, "Bo Zhe, I heard that you returned to Luoyang, so I rushed over to see you. You and I have known each other for many years. It doesn't matter what you say about me, but you are not allowed to slander my family."
Lord."
Tian Feng paused and continued: "I think that my lord came to the river alone, fought against the sky and people, and brought the people of the county through this year's severe drought safely. It was a great wisdom; he met on the way
To be unafraid of a tiger in the face of danger and to kill it with bare hands is to be brave; to care about the safety of the people in the world and to disregard one's own reputation in order to protect the people is to be benevolent and righteous! Such a person will be the true master of Tian Feng who will support me throughout my life!"
Tian Feng's words were full of pride, as if the wise, brave, benevolent and righteous person was not Liu Xin, but himself.
Cai Yong was dumbfounded by his righteous words, and after a while he murmured: "But, there are rumors in Beijing..."
Tian Feng interrupted him and said: "As the saying goes, people's words can be feared. But my lord doesn't take it to heart at all. He just wants to be clear in his heart. With such arrogance, no one in the world can match it!"
Cai Yong hesitated and said: "There is some truth in what you said. I heard it in vain. You also said that I was wrong about him. I think someone who can write such a wonderful article will not be far behind."
When Tian Feng saw that his tone was loose, he also smiled and said: "That's natural. My lord comes from a humble background, but he is poor and ambitious, and he is determined to make progress, which is why he has achieved what he has today."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Cai Yong finally felt relieved. The two returned to the hall, but unexpectedly, in just this moment, the atmosphere inside was already tense.
After Tian Feng was called out by Cai Yong, the young master surnamed Xun stood up and cupped his hands towards Liu Xin and said: "Xun Yu, my official, pay your respects to your lord. I heard that your lord Liu was very popular among the people when he was the governor of Hejian. You will definitely be able to achieve great things in Jingzhou."
When Xun Yu was in the capital, he had naturally heard rumors about Liu Xin's friendship with Zhang Rang, but he himself was also married to the eunuch Tang Heng's daughter, so he was not very disgusted with Liu Xin, but he had been famous since he was a child. That's why she wasn't criticized like Liu Xin.
Cai Yan saw her father and didn't know why. Suddenly Mr. Tian invited her out. She became the master of this hall and naturally couldn't leave. She was always talented and had a lot of knowledge about poetry. The "Inscription on the Humble Room" that Liu Xin just read made her very happy. She was very impressed and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if Mr. Liu has any other masterpieces. Can you read them out for everyone to enjoy?"
Liu Xingang wanted to say a few words of humility to Xun Yu. After all, this was a think tank that Cao Cao relied on during the Three Kingdoms period. He would inevitably have to deal with him in the future, but he heard that Cai Yan could not ask him about his other works. He was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei suddenly stood up and said to Liu Xin: "Master Liu, Xiaomin heard from a friend today that Mr. Liu from Hejian redeemed Zui Hongchen's number one Jade Linglong last night. No. Do you know the relationship between Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu?"
Dian Wei, who always stood like a piece of wood behind Liu Xin, heard the words "Zui Hongchen" and thought of those jars of fine wine. He couldn't help but salivate and blurted out: "The wine of Zui Hongchen is really fragrant. Brother, I don't know when I can drink it." Want to have another drink?"
When Dian Wei said this, everyone could guess that the Young Master Liu mentioned by Wei Zhongdao was Liu Xin. Zui Hongchen was the most famous brothel in the capital, and Xun Yu and Cai Yan naturally knew about it. Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month, and Liu Xin came to He spent at most a day or two in Luoyang in and out of brothels, so the two of them had some opinions about him.
Mr. Wei already knew it in his heart, and said: "Oh, so Mr. Liu is the Mr. Liu who redeemed Yu Linglong. I have a gracious request, can you transfer the girl Yu Linglong to me... A friend of…”
Seeing Mr. Wei's interruption, Liu Xin felt happy that she didn't have to think of poems to show off her ugly face, so she smiled and said: "Young Master Wei, what you said is wrong. I did redeem Yu Linglong, but she is also a living person." People are not objects, so they can be transferred casually."
Mr. Wei did not give up and continued: "My... friend is willing to pay ten taels of gold."
As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu and Cai Yan were secretly surprised. At that time, there was a shortage of gold and silver among the people, and it was not the main currency in circulation. Ten taels of gold was not a small amount, but it was just to buy a brothel girl. They all knew it.
Who is this Mr. Wei? It would not be difficult for him to come up with ten taels of gold himself. It seems that his friend is also a member of a noble family.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Mr. Wei's words, Ma Yun couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know whose family this Mr. Wei is from. That friend of yours is so generous! Ten taels of gold?"
If my master agrees to you, wouldn't it mean that he has made a loss-making business and lost a hundred taels of gold in one fell swoop? Who would do this business with you?"
When Ma Yun said this, Xun Yu and Cai Yan were even more frightened. It turned out that Liu Xin spent one hundred and ten taels of gold to redeem the brothel girl. This was a truly generous act, which was simply unbelievable.
Xun Yu saw that Mr. Wei's expression was a little strange, so he hurriedly stood up and introduced: "Master Liu, this Mr. Wei's surname is Wei, his given name is Ping, and his courtesy name is Zhongdao. He is the eldest son of the Wei family in Hedong."
When Wei Zhongdao heard Xun Yu reveal his identity, his expression softened a little, and he said: "This moment, that moment. If it was naturally worth a hundred taels of gold yesterday, but it is only worth ten taels of gold today, there must be a reason for this.
The adults must understand."
Although the Wei family is a well-known noble family, its financial resources are many times stronger than those of Liu Xin. Naturally, they can get a hundred taels of gold, but Wei Zhongdao alone cannot get it. After all, although the Wei family has a lot of money, but the gold is also
Scarcity, most property exists in the form of land, copper coins, and food. Mother Chen took advantage of this at the beginning and insisted on a ransom of one hundred taels of gold. In fact, she did not want Yu Linglong to be ransomed away.
However, Wei Zhongdao really prepared ten taels of gold because he wanted to buy Yu Linglong's first night tonight. As a result, he knew about Yu Linglong's redemption last night, so he only had time to appear in Cai Cai now.
Home.
As soon as Wei Zhongdao said this, Liu Xin became unhappy and said: "Master Wei, I think you are a well-educated person and must have read a lot. Who would have expected that you would speak in such a mean and shameful way? I've told you the truth. I'll help you."
Miss Yu Linglong redeems her life, firstly, not to have her as a wife or concubine, and secondly, not as a slave. I just sympathize with her life experience and help her. Now she is a free body and has nothing to do with me. I have no right to make decisions.
Where will she go, and you, Mr. Wei, have no such power. Please tell your friend to stop his wishful thinking!"
These words were so righteous that Xun Yu nodded repeatedly. Just now, Cai Yan had criticized Liu Xin's visit to the brothel. Now he was moved to tears. He never thought that there really is such a person in the world. In order to save a brothel woman, Cai Yan is willing to go to a brothel.
Spending a hundred taels of gold without any plan, isn't this the legendary hero saving the beauty?
At this time, Wei Zhongdao had already paid a courtesy call to the Cai family, which was equivalent to an engagement. At this time, in front of his fiancée, Liu Xin's words made Wei Zhongdao unbearable, and he said angrily: "I'll do it next time."
?I'm just talking about it for a friend. It's not like some people who have a lovely wife at home but hang out in brothels. Such people can also write good articles? Needless to say, the article just now must have been copied from somewhere else."
Ma Yun also said angrily: "My master can go wherever he likes. Whenever it's your turn to speak. And the article my master wrote, tell me who copied it? I can't tell, so I'll ask you."
Shut up!" This is what she repeatedly warned herself to pay attention to her image, otherwise she would have used foul language.
When Cai Yan heard Wei Zhongdao questioning the article just now, he became a little unhappy and said: "Mr. Wei, my father and I have both read countless books. Even you yourself admit that you don't know where this article comes from, so it must be Mr. Liu."
It’s done, so there’s no need to be suspicious.”
Wei Zhongdao sneered and said: "Humph, sister Cai Yan, look at his words and demeanor, do you think he can write such a good article? Mr. Liu, if you are really talented, write a poem before you are seven years old!"
