Liu Xin's first reaction was that people in this era are all sick. Cao Pi forced Cao Zhi to write a poem in seven steps, and Wei Zhongdao actually forced me to write a poem in seven steps. The first reaction of Cai Yan and Xun Yu was that Wei Zhongdao
It's too overwhelming. Although Liu Xin's article just now is good, it was not necessarily written in one breath. It is very likely that after a long period of deliberation, it is unreasonable to ask him to compose a poem in seven steps. Ma Yun's
My first reaction was that Liu Xin hadn't graduated from elementary school, and he didn't know if he had any ink in his stomach. If he had known it, he wouldn't have shown off just now.
You must know that you can't just pick up poems to fill up the list, you must always be able to adapt to the situation. Just like Ma Yun, although she is a good student with always among the best grades, she could not adapt "Inscriptions on a Humble Room" in a hurry, but could only delete it in a hurry
A few words settled the matter.
Liu Xin is very calm. Although he is just a thief, he is not an ordinary thief, but a top-level thief. In order to remain calm and calm when committing crimes, he has received many strange trainings since he was a child, such as using dough to carve small
Animals, and picking peaches. Although these are small things, they can train people's patience. Take picking peaches as an example. These peaches are large and thin-skinned, and are full of juice inside. When eaten,
Instead of biting, you use a straw to suck. Harvesting this kind of peach is a technical job. It must be picked by the stems. The stems cannot be left long or short. When picking, the force must be moderate or not. Picking peaches by themselves
Liu Xin had only received three years of training, and her impatience had long been smoothed away.
After listening to Wei Zhongdao's words, he was not anxious. He looked up and saw a new moon in the sky through the window. He thought about it and said: "It is indeed a bit difficult to write a poem in seven steps. I don't know if Mr. Wei can do it."
What about seven steps to make a poem?"
People usually say that Mr. Wei has outstanding talents. Firstly, he does read a lot, quotes classics and is knowledgeable about the present. Secondly, he comes from a noble family. People somewhat mean it as a compliment. In fact, he has never written a poem by himself. Wei Zhongdao
Of course, he refused to catch the ball kicked by Liu Xin and said: "I have never written an article as good as Mr. Liu just now. Of course I don't have the ability to write a poem in seven steps. Could it be that Mr. Liu doesn't have this ability? So the article just now...
"
Liu Xin laughed and said: "So you are looking at me alone? It has to be a little lucky to be fun."
Wei Zhongdao didn't believe that he could write a poem in seven steps. He just thought he was stalling for time and immediately said: "What kind of lottery? You are an adult, you can decide."
Liu Xin was very disgusted with him because of what he said about Bian Yu just now. Now that she was confident, she said calmly: "Whoever loses, please leave here."
Wei Zhongdao replied without hesitation: "Okay, then it's settled!"
At this time, Cai Yong and Tian Feng happened to come in and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall. Liu Xin was leaving her seat and walking towards the window, muttering: "One step, two steps, three steps."
Cai Yong and Tian Feng were a little confused. Liu Xin had already walked to the window and said: "Yes, Mr. Wei, please listen. There is a bright moonlight in front of the window, which is probably frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon and lower your head to miss your hometown."
Ma Yun saw him shaking his head while reciting this poem, covering his mouth and laughing non-stop.
When Wei Zhongdao saw that he had only taken three steps, he composed a poem. He immediately couldn't get off the stage, and he didn't care about his image, so he shouted loudly: "What kind of poem is this? It has no rhyme and it doesn't make sense."
Liu Xin was furious, and she had given in to you again and again, but you kept pushing even further. You even dared to criticize Li Bai's poems as useless. When he was about to get angry, he heard Cai Yan already saying loudly: "Zhongdao, you are wrong, this poem
At first glance, the words are ordinary, but after careful taste, the language is concise, the imagination is rich, and the emotions are strong. The loneliness of a wanderer's homesickness is fully revealed. It seems that Mr. Liu was inspired by this. He is really talented."
Wei Zhongdao was very familiar with Cai Yong's family. Cai Yong admired his talent very much and often invited him to his home. Cai Yan often talked about poetry with him when he was a child. It is common for everyone to express his own opinions on the works of his predecessors. Today
, Cai Yan still expressed his different opinions on "Liu Xin's poems" as usual, but unexpectedly the situation was different from the past. When these words reached Wei Zhongdao's ears, it was like pricking him with a needle.
When Wei Zhongdao saw that his fiancée did not help him, but instead helped outsiders, he felt humiliated and turned around and walked out.
Cai Yong didn't know the situation ahead and was a little confused. He also felt that Wei Zhongdao was a little rude today and left without saying hello. He quickly stopped him and asked: "Where are you going, my nephew?"
Wei Zhongdao was so angry that he didn't notice Cai Yong coming in. He suddenly heard Cai Yong calling him, but he didn't dare to show off. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Go back to uncle, it's getting late. My nephew has to go back to pack things tomorrow."
Then I will return to the east of Hedong. After a while, I will come with my father to perform the ceremony of Najina Zheng."
Cai Yong said: "Oh, in that case, my nephew has a good trip, so I won't send him off."
As soon as Wei Zhongdao left, the atmosphere in the hall became much more harmonious. The guests and hosts chatted happily, ranging from strategies for governing the country to strategies for saving the people, from poetry and poetry to calligraphy and painting. Although Liu Xin was not very knowledgeable, he was much better.
With eighteen hundred years of experience, he would often come up with one or two unique insights, and everyone admired him. Only Ma Yun secretly snickered and disapproved.
While talking, Ma Yun remembered that Cai Yong, a great scholar, was beheaded by Wang Yun in the end, and that Cai Yan had a rough fate. She couldn't help but feel pity for Cai Yong, and said to Cai Yong: "Mr. Bo Zhe, your family is here."
We are living in a tight situation and there is no way to make a living. It is better to go with my husband to Jingzhou. It is also the time for him to employ people, and he will definitely be able to make great achievements."
Cai Yong pondered for a moment, thinking that his family's life was indeed a bit difficult now, so he might as well go with them to Jingzhou, so he said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. I am willing to go with you."
Liu Xin didn't expect that Cai Yong readily agreed without having to ask. In fact, in addition to Cai Yong's family being in decline and living in poverty, and really needing to find a job, there was another reason, and that was Tian Feng's evaluation of Liu Xin.
Cai Yong was very moved.
Cai Yong paused and then said: "I wonder when your lord will set off? I still have time to clean up."
Liu Xin looked around. Although she didn't say that her family was in ruins, she couldn't think of anything worth taking away. She asked in confusion: "Mr. Cai, I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning. It's better to abandon these heavy family members."
Hurry up and pack some belongings and go with us so that you can be taken care of along the way. We have prepared both the carriage and the horse."
Cai Yong smiled sheepishly and said: "To be honest with you, I am in poverty now. I don't have any valuables at home, but I have more than three thousand books, which I have collected throughout my life. This time I will go to Jingzhou with you.
, I don’t know when I will be able to return to Luoyang again, and I want to take these books with me, so I have to pack them up properly.”
Liu Xin couldn't help but look solemn. These are real ancient books. More than three thousand volumes. What a precious humanistic wealth. He is willing to take them to Jingzhou. That is a dream. So he said to Cai Yong: "Mr.
Don’t worry, I have many soldiers accompanying me, just ask them to bring a few volumes each. Don’t worry, my soldiers have strict military discipline and will never lose or damage a single volume.”
Liu Xin immediately ordered Dian Wei to go back to the post house and call for 300 Flying Tiger Guard soldiers. They were more powerful and had more than ten volumes each. It took only a moment to carry all these volumes. These volumes can be said to be the lifeblood of Cai Yong.
Son, after transporting the books, there really wasn’t anything else to deal with, and now the Cai family didn’t even have any servants, so the family of three easily followed Liu Xin to the post house.
Xun Yu also knew that this was a farewell and he didn't know when we would see each other again. He admired Cai Yong very much and insisted on sending his family to the post house before leaving. Before leaving, he said to Liu Xin: "May Mr. Liu
When you go to Jingzhou, you should think of the people, put the country first, and do more benevolent and righteous deeds."
Liu Xin graciously agreed and waved goodbye to him: "Liu and Wen Ruo hit it off immediately. I hope we can meet again in the future."
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xin readjusted the distribution of carriages. There were eight more comfortable carriages in total, and three wider carriages were naturally divided between Tian Feng, Jushou's family and Ma Yun's mother and son. The smaller carriages
There was one carriage for Fan Jing and his daughter, one for Father Xu and one for Xia Houjuan, one for Bian Yu and Ying'er, and the remaining one was given to Cai Yong's family. Ma Yun saw that it was a bit crowded for his family of three to share a carriage, so she greeted him
Cai Yan sat in his car.
Because Ma Yun's carriage had to be brought with her seven-month-old son, Liu Xin took it upon herself to further modify it and added a device similar to a leaf spring. Of course, it was also made of wood, making it more comfortable and easier to walk on.
You can barely feel the bumps on the road.
The interior of the carriage is very spacious. Ma Yun, Qiaoer, Liu Yu, and Cai Yan don't feel crowded at all. This was specially built by Liu Xin for Ma Yun. It is based on the RVs of later generations. There are many exquisite designs in it.
, for example, the curtains on the car windows use the principle of blinds. The angle of the curtains can be adjusted at will to facilitate observation of the outside situation, but it is not easy to see the inside clearly from the outside. Another example is that there are many small drawers in the car, and there are many small drawers inside.
With snacks and melon seeds, Ma Yun, who likes snacks, can satisfy her cravings on the road. There are also many humanized designs in the car, including a crib and a small table to play chess and relieve boredom. Even going to the toilet can be done in the car.
Although Cai Yan has been in exile with his father for many years and often rides in carriages, he has never seen such an exquisite carriage. It has a compact structure and makes full use of every space. It does not make people feel luxurious and luxurious, but it is very comfortable and convenient.
It has all the functions and can almost be used as a mobile house. When she heard from Ma Yun that this carriage was carefully designed by Liu Xin, and even many parts were made by him himself, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the young man.
Fangzhou Mu, a handsome young man who was capable of both literary and martial arts, had deep admiration from the bottom of his heart.
The group packed up and headed for the south gate of Luoyang. Liu Xin only took three hundred guards with him into the city, and the rest of the people, horses and vehicles were waiting outside the city. Liu Xin, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and others were riding on their horses.
Protecting the team, they moved forward slowly. When they arrived at the gate of the south city, they were blocked by a group of people. The leader, with a white face and narrow eyes, asked loudly: "In front of us is the team of Mr. Liu, the shepherd of Jingzhou."
Liu Xin was in the middle of the team, accompanying Ma Yun's car. When he saw the team suddenly stopped, he spurred his horse forward and said sternly: "This is Liu Xin, who is blocking the way for us?"
I saw the man dismounting from his horse, standing by the road with his hands folded, and said: "Cao Cao, the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, is here to see Mr. Liu and Mr. Cai's family off."
