Liu Xin didn't expect Cai Yan to do so many romantic things on this wedding night. He wanted to listen to stories and play the piano. However, Liu Xin knew that she was suffering from the pain and what she needed most now was a good rest, so she squeezed her small and exquisite Yao nose, and said: "Go to sleep, you just want to play, I don't have a piano here. "
Cai Yan said: "I have brought a piano here. Husband, this piano has some fate with you. If it weren't for you, it would have been destroyed by the fire last time in Xinye."
Liu Xin knew that this must be the famous Jiaoweiqin, but Cai Yong was still willing to dowry his most beloved things. He didn't want to think about what he didn't want to be willing to even give him his daughter. Liu Xin looked down at Cai Yan’s pretty face. The blush caused by the passion just now has not faded. If he still refuses to rest, I am afraid I will suffer tomorrow, so he deliberately straightened his face and said, "Okay. If you want to play, get up tomorrow and play it to me. Now your task is to sleep quickly."
Cai Yan closed his eyes reluctantly with a face full of face, and did not forget to stick out his tongue mischievously. Liu Xin shook her head and lay down.
Liu Xin has the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and he woke up before dawn. Liu Xin got dressed and opened the door, only to see that two pretty maids were standing there, but they were sisters Ling'er and Xiu'er.
It turned out that Ma Yun knew that Cai Yan was different from herself and Bian Yu and Zhu Qian. Although Cai Yan was exiled with his father in his childhood, he grew up under the care of his parents. Even if he can't say that he can stretch out his hands with clothes and open his mouth with food, but those little hands are good for playing the piano and doing housework. It must not be done. Since Liu Xin avenged the Ling'er sisters, the twin sisters have stayed in the house. The two of them were born in poverty. Yun is very loyal. Thinking that Cai Yan didn't have a few caring maids around him, Ma Yun sent the sisters over.
When they were in Ma Yunyuan, Du Qiaoer was waiting in front of the master. The sisters rarely had a chance to intervene. Now they are assigned to Cai Yan. They seem to be the heads of the maids and women here. The sisters knew that Liu Xin had the habit of getting up early. They got up for more than four days to clean up and waited outside, waiting for Liu Xin to call them in. They didn't know that Liu Xin always dressed and washed by herself, without being served.
Liu Xin was taken aback when seeing the two sisters. Even if she understood, Ma Yun was really careful. She had considered everything that Cai Yan should think of, so she said: "You don't need to get up so early in the future. You don't need you here. Go back to sleep, I just need to punch in the yard."
The sisters agreed, and did not retreat. They were born as bitter children, but they didn't suffer from snooze, so they stood aside and watched Liu Xin punching.
When Liu Xin got up just now, Cai Yan also woke up. Last night, Liu Xin pityed her for the first time in the rain and dew, and did not ask too much, so her body is not very tired. In addition, although Cai Yong usually dotes on her daughter, she is also very strict. If Cai Yan is not in the youth rebellious period and has been deceived by Ma Yun, she would never dare to make her own claims about her marriage. But in this way, she still formed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Thinking of the scene last night, Cai Yan was still a little shy. After Liu Xin went out, he sat up, still aching in his lower body. Cai Yan put on his clothes and took out a white silk sweat towel from the quilt, on which a few bright red plum blossoms were blooming brilliantly. Cai Yanqiao blushed, folded her sweat towel, and quietly opened a large wooden box that she brought over when she was married, and stuffed it all the way to the bottom of the box.
Cai Yan stood up straight and looked around. No one noticed. Only then did he touch his chest. Cao'er still babbled non-stop.
Ling'er sisters are watching Liu Xin punching in the yard attentively. They have lived in the prefecture for the past year, they have no worries about food and clothing, and there is not much work to do. They have not forgotten to practice the soft kung fu in their spare time. They also know how to embroider their legs, knowing that Liu Xin has a high martial arts skill. They used to hide in the dark to watch him punching in the Ma Yun courtyard. Now they can finally watch him just as they say.
The sisters were so engrossed that they didn't even notice Cai Yan standing behind them. After Liu Xin had practiced a set of punching punches, the sisters realized that there was another person behind them. They turned their heads and found that it was Cai Yan, and they wanted to salute in a panic.
Cai Yan put a finger on his lips, made a silent gesture, and beckoned at them again, beckoning them to come in with him.
Liu Xin adjusted her breathing and began to practice Tai Chi again, only to practice three or five poses, and there was a melodious piano sound behind him. Liu Xin was surprised, stopped her hand, and when she looked back, she saw Cai Yan sitting cross-legged on the steps, with a short table in front of him, and it was the Jiaoweiqin he had saved.
Cai Yan didn't look up, but he clearly felt Liu Xin's gaze. A pair of slender hands lightly pressed the strings, and the beautiful sound of the piano came to an abrupt end. Cai Yan looked at Liu Xin and smiled at him.
Liu Xin didn't expect that she would get up so early to play the piano for herself, but she was also infected by her. Liu Xin's boxing style is chic and elegant, and Cai Yan's piano sound is ethereal and clear, forming a wonderful picture. The Linger sisters standing by are already fascinated.
At the end of the song, the cooperation between the two is 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 wife. I always have to give my sisters a salute, but I don't dare to rely on it."
Liu Xin picked up the Jiaoweiqin and took a closer look. This is a well-known and peerless instrument. If it is passed down, it will be an antique. He couldn’t put it down and said with a smile: “We don’t have so many rules. They are still there now. Dreamland. Your father took out such precious things. It seems that there are many treasures in this dowry."
Jiao Weiqin and Ke Tingdi are noble, but they are in the later generations, but in Cai Yan's eyes, they are only an instrument for arty tools for literati and pokers. When Liu Xin inquired about her dowry, I couldn't help being disappointed. He said: "I can't bring out any valuable things at home, only Dad wrote a few calligraphy."
Liu Xin said excitedly: "It turns out that my father-in-law also wrote some calligraphy himself, so I should take a closer look."
The contents of the big wooden box were taken out one by one. The first is Cai Yan's extremely cherished Ke Ting Di, which is green and round as jade. Liu Xin took it in his hand and looked at it, but he didn't show much interest. He was really bad at musical instruments.
In the era when Liu Xin lived, all kinds of fakes were rampant. The homes of corrupt officials and profiteers had many antique calligraphy and paintings, and the fakes probably accounted for the majority. Liu Xin didn't want to work hard, but all he got were fakes. For this reason, he has read a lot of books in this area, and he is also very concerned about some appreciating programs, just to improve his appreciation ability and make sure not to lose his eyes and become the laughing stock of his peers.
Therefore, Liu Xin looked very carefully at the calligraphy works that Cai Yan took out from the box next. They were all written by the great calligrapher Cai Yong. If they were put in his original time, any one would be any one. Priceless. What surprised him most was that in these calligraphy works, there were not only a large number of official script works, but also many of them were written in italics. Although they are different from the italics of later generations, they are not far apart.
Liu Xin looked at these calligraphy works and praised them. They are worthy of the handwriting of a great calligrapher. They are really extraordinary. They must be collected carefully. In the future, they will be a precious treasure for future generations. He didn't know that the book strength of the talented woman standing beside him was really extraordinary.
Seeing Liu Xin looking at these calligraphy silently, Cai Yan took out another roll of paper from the box and handed it to him, "Husband, I wrote this myself. What do you think?"
Liu Xin gave a "Oh", then took it and unfolded it gently. What was written on the paper was a paragraph from the Book of Songs. The font was graceful. Although it was not as majestic and majestic as Cai Yong's book, it did not have an aura of agility. She couldn't help but secretly nodded and said : "Yan'er, I didn't expect your handwriting to be so beautiful."
Cai Yan said softly: "My husband, my concubine has followed my father to practice calligraphy since I was a child. These words are nothing in my father's eyes. However, my husband, your handwriting is indeed a bit too awkward. You have to practice well when you have time. ."
Liu Xin nodded vaguely, and said, "Well, let's talk about it, let's talk about it. What treasure is in the box, let me take it out and see."
Cai Yan was stunned at first, suddenly flushed, turned around to stop the box, and said: "No more, no more, that's it."
Liu Xin originally just said casually, but she didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. She couldn't help but became curious and asked: "Really there is none? I don't believe it. There must be something hidden inside. Let me take a look."
Cai Yan became more nervous, and simply leaned on the box, shouting like a child: "You can't see, you can't see, there is really nothing left."
Liu Xin watched her entire upper body lying on the box, her little butt pushed up high, like a full moon, she was still twisting and twisting when she talked, she couldn't help but play with a big heart and slapped her with a slap. I snapped it up and pretended to be angry and said: "I told you not to tell the truth and be careful with family law."
Cai Yan was a little uncomfortable in his lower body. He suddenly ate him again, and involuntarily exhaled "Ah" in pain. Turning back, tears were already rolling in his eye sockets, and he handed an object to Liu Xin's hand with grievances. And said: "There is really nothing left, it's just this."
Liu Xin realized that she seemed to be hitting a bit hard just now. He grabbed her hand and slapped her ass lightly, and said, "Okay, it's your husband, so you should calm down. "
Cai Yan retracted his hand shyly and said, "People are not angry."
Liu Xin looked at the object in her hand, couldn't help but stood up, and said, "Isn't it just a'press box bottom'? There is nothing shameful about it."
