Liu Xin's first reaction was that people in this era are all sick. Cao Pi forced Cao Zhi to make a poem seven steps, and Wei Zhongdao actually forced me to make a poem seven steps. Cai Yan and Xun Yu’s first reaction was that Wei Zhongdao was too tough for others. Although Liu Xin’s article just now was good, it was not necessarily written in one breath. It is very likely that after a long period of scrutiny, it might be possible to ask him to seven. Coming out of a poem within a step is not justified. Ma Yun's first reaction was that Liu Xin didn't graduate from elementary school, and he didn't know if there was any ink in his stomach. He had known that this would not show up just now.
You should know that you don’t just use a poem to fill the number, you must be able to respond to the situation, just like Ma Yun, although a good student who has always been among the best in his grades, he can’t adapt "The Inscriptions of the House" in a hurry, but can only delete it in a hurry. A few words of trouble.
Liu Xin was very calm. Although he was only a thief, he was not an ordinary thief, but a top-level thief. In order to keep calm and calm when starting, he has received many strange trainings since childhood, such as taking dough to carve small animals, and picking peaches. These are small things, but they can train people's patience. Take picking peaches as an example. This kind of peach is big and thin, and the inside is full of juice. When you eat it, you don’t bite it but suck it with a straw. The harvest of this kind of peach is a technical task, and you must pick it evenly. This pedicle can neither be left long nor short, and the force is not too small when picking it off. After only three years of training in picking peaches, Liu Xin's impatient temperament has long been worn down.
Hearing what Wei Zhongdao said, he was not anxious. When he raised his head, he saw a new moon in the sky through the window. He thought about it and said, "Seven steps into a poem, this is really difficult. I wonder if Master Wei can How about a poem in seven steps?"
People usually say that Young Master Wei is very talented. One is that he does read a lot of books, citing the classics, and the old is well-known, and the other is that he comes from a family of gentry and people are somewhat flattering. In fact, he has never written a poem by himself. Of course Wei Zhongdao refused to take the ball kicked by Liu Xin, and said: "I didn't write as good an article as Master Liu just now. Naturally, I don't have the ability to make a poem in seven steps. Could it be that Master Liu doesn't have this ability either? …"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "So it's just me being alone? It's fun to get a little bit of color."
Wei Zhongdao didn't believe that he could make a poem in seven steps. He thought he was delaying time, and immediately said, "What kind of color? You are an adult, so you can do it."
Liu Xin was very disgusted with Bian Yu's words because of what he said just now. Now that he is confident, he said leisurely: "Whoever loses, please leave here."
Wei Zhongdao answered without hesitation: "Okay, then it's a deal!"
At this time, Cai Yong and Tian Feng just came in and found that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit wrong. Liu Xin was leaving his seat and walking towards the window, still muttering words: "One step, two steps, three steps."
Cai Yong and Tian Feng were a little inexplicable. Liu Xin had already walked to the window and said, "Yes, Mr. Wei, please listen. The moon is shining in front of the window, suspected to be frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon, bow your head to think about your hometown."
Ma Yun saw him shook his head and read the poem, and she kept laughing while covering her mouth.
When Wei Zhongdao saw that he had only taken three steps, he made a poem. He stopped coming to the stage immediately and ignored his image, so he shouted there, "What a poem, there is no rhyme, no shit."
Liu Xin was furious, and had to bear with you over and over again. You still have to make an inch of it. Even the poetry fairy Li Bai's poem is about to be criticized for nothing. It is about to happen, but Cai Yan has already said loudly: "Zhong Dao, you are wrong, this poem When I listened roughly, I only felt that the writing was ordinary, and when I tasted Fang Jue's language concise, he was rich in imagination, and his feelings were strong. The wandering homesickness of loneliness was fully revealed. It seems that Mrs. Liu felt it, and he was really talented."
Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yong’s family are very familiar. Cai Yong appreciates his talents and often invites him to his home. Cai Yan often talked about poetry with him when he was a child, and it was common to express his 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. These words spread to Wei Zhongdao's ears as if he was piercing him with a needle.
When Wei Zhongdao saw that his fiancée was not helping himself, but helping outsiders, he turned his head and walked outside.
Cai Yong didn't know the previous situation. He was a little bit inexplicable. He also felt that Wei Zhongdao was a little impolite today. He left without saying hello. He quickly stopped him and said, "Where is the nephew?"
Wei Zhongdao was just getting angry. He didn't notice Cai Yong coming in. He suddenly heard Cai Yong calling him, but he didn't dare to show off his score. He quickly stood up and said: "Go back to uncle, it's getting late, my nephew will go back and pack things tomorrow. Then I went back to Hedong. After some time, I will join my father to perform the Nagina ceremony."
Cai Yong said: "Oh, in that case, the nephew will go all the way, forgive me not to send it."
As soon as Wei Zhongdao left, the atmosphere in the hall became much more harmonious. The guest and the host had a very happy conversation, from the strategy of governing the country to the strategy of saving the people, from the poems and songs to the calligraphy and painting. Although Liu Xin is not very knowledgeable, he is better than one thousand eight hundred years of knowledge, and one or two unique opinions often appear. Everyone admires him, but Ma Yun secretly laughs, disapproving.
During the conversation, Ma Yun remembered that Cai Yong’s college questioner was finally beheaded by Wang Yun, and Cai Yan was even more fateful. She couldn’t help but feel pity, and said to Cai Yong, "Mr. Bo Xie, your family is here. This life is very difficult and there is no way to make a living. It is better to go to Jingzhou with my master. He is also just when he is employing people, and the husband will be able to do a lot."
Cai Yong pondered for a moment, thinking that his family's current life is indeed a bit difficult, it is better to let them go to Jingzhou to have a look, so he said: "It is better to be respectful than fate, and the old are willing to go with the adults."
Liu Xin didn't expect to have to speak for himself, Cai Yong readily agreed. In fact, in addition to Cai Yong's family decline, living in a tight life, and really need to find an errand, there are other reasons, that is, Tian Feng's evaluation of Liu Xin also made Cai Yong quite excited.
Cai Yong paused and said, "I don't know when the lord will leave? I still allow the old to pack up."
Liu Xin looked around. Although he didn't talk about his family members, he couldn't think of anything worth taking away. He asked inexplicably, "Mr. Cai, I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning. Why don't you give up your heavy family? , Hurry up to pack up some details and walk with us, so that there may be a caregiver along the way, we all have preparations for carriages and horses."
Cai Yong smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Don't hide your lord, the old man is now impoverished, there is nothing in the house, but there are more than 3,000 volumes, which I have collected throughout my life. This time I will go to Jingzhou with the adults. , I don’t know when I can return to Luoyang again. I want to take these scrolls away together, so I have to tidy up."
Liu Xin's expression could not help being solemn, these are real ancient books, more than 3,000 volumes, what a precious humanistic wealth, he is willing to take it to Jingzhou, it is very desirable, so he said to Cai Yong: "Sir. Don't worry, I have many soldiers with me, and I just ask them to bring a few copies. You can rest assured that my soldiers, with strict military discipline, will never lose or damage a single book."
Liu Xin immediately ordered Dianwei to return to the post house to call in three hundred flying tiger guards. There were many people and more than ten books per person. They only took a moment to move these books. These scrolls can be said to belong to Cai Yong. After the scrolls were transported away, there was really nothing else to clean up, and now the Cai family had no servants. A family of three easily followed Liu Xin to the post.
Xun Yu also knew about this farewell. I don’t know how many years to see each other again. He admired Cai Yong very much and insisted on sending his family to the post house before he was willing to leave. When he was leaving, he said to Liu Xin: "May Mrs. Liu When we go to Jingzhou, we should regard the people as the mind, the society and the grass as the most important thing, and do more benevolence and righteousness."
Liu Xin graciously promised and waved goodbye to him: "Liu and Wen Ruo see each other as they did, I hope there will be time to see each other in the future."
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xin re-adjusted the allocation of carriages. There are a total of eight more comfortable carriages, and the three larger ones are naturally distributed to Tian Feng, Jusui and Ma Yun. The smaller carriages include one for Fan Jing, Father Xu, and Xia Houjuan, one for Bian Yu and Yinger, and one for Cai Yong's family. Ma Yun saw that his family of three sharing a carriage was a bit crowded, so he asked Cai Yan to sit in his car.
Ma Yun’s carriage, because he had to take his seven-month-old son, Liu Xin made further modifications and added a device similar to a leaf spring. Of course, it is also made of wood. It is more comfortable and walks. Hardly feel the bumps on the road.
The inside of the carriage is very spacious, Ma Yun, Qiao'er and Liu Yu, together with Cai Yan, don't feel crowded at all. This is specially created by Liu Xin for Ma Yun, referring to later generations of RVs. There are many exquisite designs inside. For example, the curtains of car windows use the principle of blinds, and the angle of the curtains can be adjusted freely to facilitate observation of the outside situation. It is not easy to see the inside from the outside. For another example, there are many small drawers in the car, which contain snacks and melon seeds, so that Ma Yun, who likes to eat snacks, can relieve her hunger on the road. There are also many humanized designs in the car. There are cribs and small tables for playing chess to relieve boredom, and even going to the toilet can be solved in the car.
Although Cai Yan has been in exile with his father for many years and often rides in a carriage, 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 think how 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 meticulously designed by Liu Xin, and even many places were made by him personally, she couldn’t help being a handsome young man who was able to work and martial arts at a young age. There was a lot of admiration.
The group packed up and headed towards Luoyang South Gate. Liu Xin only brought three hundred guards into the city with him, and the rest of the men, horses and vehicles were waiting outside the city. Liu Xin, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and others rode on the horse, guarding the team slowly moving forward. When they came to the gate of Nancheng, they were stopped by a group of people. The head of the group was white-faced and narrow-eyed. He asked loudly, "The group of Lord Muliu in Jingzhou is ahead."
Liu Xin was in the middle of the team, accompanied by Ma Yun's car. When he saw the team suddenly stopped, he rode forward and said sharply: "Liu Xin is next, who is blocking the way I am waiting?"
I saw the man turn over and dismount, standing by the side of the road, arching his hands and saying: "Xiaguan Cao Cao from the north of Luoyang, come to see off Master Liu and Mr. Cai's family."
