Liu Xin was a little strange, but couldn't see who this person was, so he quietly walked over. Under the tree is a slender figure, wearing a long aqua skirt, hidden in the bushes, no wonder he can't see clearly from a distance. Liu Xin walked to her side and discovered that it was Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan.
Cai Yan didn't realize that there were more people beside him, and he was silently facing the water surface. With a light wave of his slender hand, a stone was thrown out again, and it landed in a pond not far away, causing a wave of ripples.
Liu Xin couldn't help but said, "Does Miss Cai have an opinion on this pond in my mansion, she should learn Jingwei to fill the sea and level it?"
Cai Yan didn't know what she was thinking, she was in a trance, she only made the movement of throwing stones subconsciously. When she suddenly heard someone talking in her ear, she was shocked. She wanted to get up, but she slipped and fell into the pond. Go down.
Liu Xin has quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up with a little force, but the embroidered shoe on her left foot rolled twice on the bank slope, and it was like a small boat in the pond. , Rippling on the water's edge.
Cai Yan fell this time. The long skirt was originally green, and it was not obvious to put some grass juice on it. It was just that Liu Xin dragged her skirt violently and broke her skirt a few places, leaving her left foot. There are no shoes again, and the snow-white socks are black, green and speckled, very embarrassed. Cai Yan was pampered and spoiled by his parents since he was a child, but he was shocked and frightened without having suffered such a pain, and tears flowed down without stopping.
Liu Xin only thought that she was distressed about the shoe, and said, "Don't cry, girl, I'll help you get it up." Liu Xin has the skill to fly over the wall, and it is natural to get a shoe by the pond.
Cai Yan also recognized Liu Xin at this time. She had also heard that Liu Xin knew some martial arts, but she didn't expect his skill to be so vigorous.
Liu Xin got this shoe without much effort, but she was in a daze. This little embroidered shoe is so cute. I don’t know what kind of foot can wear such a small shoe, so she secretly went to see Cai Yan’s one. Left foot. Although the socks were dirty, they couldn't hide the slender and soft curves. Liu Xin couldn't help but feel an urge to take off her socks and take a look.
Cai Yan noticed his eyes, his face flushed, and his feet couldn't help but shrank back, and he hid under the long skirt. Then he leaned back and said to Liu Xin, "Men's daughter, thank you, sir!"
Liu Xin's eyes were empty, withdrawn, and said, "You don't need to call me an adult, you just call me Liu Xin. It's a pity that these shoes are wet. Fortunately, the sun is shining. They are exposed to the sun. It will be done."
Cai Yan blushed and said with a bit of resentment: "How dare the people call the adults by their names, but your wife doesn't allow me to call them."
Liu Xin couldn't help but think of the scene at Cai Yong's house in Luoyang that night. A young girl called herself "husband", couldn't help but laugh, but didn't know how to explain it to her, so she said, "Miss Zhao Ji, These shoes need to be dried for a while. Let me help you sit in the pavilion over there for a while."
Cai Yan was shy and naturally refused to let him help. He touched the stone steps by himself, limped down to the promenade in the pavilion and sat down, and said to Liu Xin, "My lord, I don't know what happened to the Yellow Turban thief's rebellion. Up?"
"Oh, when did Miss Zhaoji care about national affairs?" Liu Xin looked at Cai Yan unexpectedly, saw her lowering her head shyly, and suddenly understood, smiling and joking, "Is the girl worried about going forward? The roads in Luoyang are blocked, and the people from Hedongwei's family can't come to Jingzhou? Why don't you have a problem, I will send someone to pick them up.
"My lord!" Cai Yan bitterly stomped the right foot that was still wearing the shoes, and said angrily, "I won't tell you anymore."
Liu Xin realized that she seemed to be really angry, and then he remembered what Ma Yun had told him, and patted his forehead: "Oh, how did I forget that important event. Girl Zhaoji, is your father at home?"
Cai Yan said angrily: "I don't know."
Liu Xin said whisperingly: "Oh, it's a kid's temper. Forget it, I'll go to your house by myself." After speaking, he got up and left the pavilion.
Cai Yan hurriedly shouted from behind: "My lord, my shoes."
With a "pop", the half-dry embroidered shoe was exactly in front of her. Cai Yan stared at Liu Xin's back with a full face and sighed.
Since arriving in Xiangyang, Ma Yun has the most talked about with Cai Yan. Ma Yun, the state shepherd's wife, is very knowledgeable, knows astronomy and geography, and often has amazing remarks that make Cai Yan admire the talented girl.
Cai Yan has gradually accepted Ma Yun's theory of "heliocentric theory" and "universal gravitation", and even more accepted her women's emancipation thought, and began to think about finding her own happiness. Wei Zhongdao naturally can't enter her vision now. Among the people around him, Liu Xin's conditions are the best from any point of view. Unfortunately, he is already famous and now even Bian Yu has become a master. He is a well-known second wife.
Today, a ghost talked about this conversation with Liu Xin alone. Cai Yan suddenly felt that the fate that Ma Yun said had arrived. Who knows that this incomprehensible guy actually said that he was going to pick up someone from the Wei family in Jingzhou. Your name is How does she not hate!
Liu Xin also knew that she had said something wrong, which made the little girl upset, and was looking for Cai Yong in a hurry. Although he knew it was not easy to persuade this old scholar, on the one hand, he had his wife’s explanation, and on the other hand, he had to find a way to remedy the nonsense in front of the little girl. He had to bite the bullet and come to Cai. Home.
Cai Yong usually pays great attention to the way of health preservation, and the daily lunch break is untouchable, but today it is very rare that he did not take a nap. It turned out that he heard that a new Moxiangzhai specializing in stationery was opened in Xiangyang City. It sold a kind of paper called "Xiangzhi", which was the best product for writing. Cai Yong went there seven or eight times, and finally got in the line today. He didn't buy 20 copies until noon. As soon as he finished lunch, he couldn't hold back his excitement, spread the paper on several cases, and began to write.
Cai Yong was surprised to learn that Liu Xin was visiting, and hurriedly greeted him. The changes in Xiangyang can be said to be changing with each passing day. Cai Yong saw it in his eyes and remembered it, and his impression of Liu Xin was getting better and better. It's just that the Xiangyang Academy has not been built for a long time, but Cai Yong's heart is very anxious. Now that Liu Xin takes the initiative to come home, Cai Yong wants to take this opportunity to urge him.
When he entered the hall, Liu Xin saw the "Xiangzhi" spread over several cases at first sight. When he approached, it was the "Inscription of the Shabby Room" written on the paper. This "The Shao Shi Ming" is written in Li style, flat font, neat and exquisite.
Liu Xin also learned calligraphy for several years when he was a child. After reading the characters on the paper, he was amazed. He was worthy of the handwriting of a great calligrapher. He picked up his thumb and said, "Mr. How about giving me a piece of calligraphy?"
You know, this is a book written by Cai Yong, and there are not many that can be handed down. Liu Xin wants to be a family heirloom.
Cai Yong seemed a little reluctant, and he paused for a while and said, "The lord waits a moment, and I will cut the paper and send it to the lord."
It turned out that he was reluctant to bear this calligraphy, but because he was too impatient, the whole piece of paper was written on it without cutting it, and most of the bottom was blank.
Liu Xin was amused secretly. He didn't expect Cai Yong to be so stingy, so he said, "Sir, it's just a piece of paper, what's precious."
Cai Yong said in a serious tone: "The lord's words are wrong. This is not ordinary paper, it is the most suitable for writing. Not to mention bamboo slips, it is many times stronger than good cloth. I have been in line for a few days. The team just bought these twenty cards, so it’s better to save a little bit."
Liu Xin couldn't help but laughed and said, "Sir, don't need to worry about this paper. I will send a box of paper to you tomorrow, and I promise you will be happy to write."
"A box!" Cai Yong was taken aback by Liu Xin's words. He suddenly remembered that he had worked so hard to get this point. When he opened his mouth, he was a whole box. He suddenly became unhappy and said, "Where did the lord come so much? The paper, could it be bought by the use of an official position? It would be unfair to do so."
Liu Xin didn't want to tell Cai Yong the truth, so she put away her smile and said, "Mr. Misunderstood, how can Liu be such a person. However, there are many people under me, so I just arrange more people to line up. One person buys two." Ten sheets, ten people are two hundred sheets, and naturally there will be more sheets of paper in a few more days."
Cai Yong was relieved and said, "Then thank the lord, the old man will pay the lord the price for the paper."
Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "How can I collect your money. However, I have something to discuss with you."
The price of Xiang paper is expensive. Each sheet is worth fifty dollars. A box of paper has at least a few hundred sheets, which is worth tens of thousands. Although Cai Yong had some savings in Xiangyang during these years, he still had to buy all the paper. Strenuous.
Hearing Liu Xin saying that he didn’t want his money, Cai Yong quickly rolled up the writing on several cases and said gratefully: “That old man is disrespectful. The lord wants this writing, so I will give it to the lord. Right."
Liu Xin took the picture unceremoniously and said: "It's not the word I'm looking for you to discuss, but about Ling Ai's marriage. I hope you can withdraw from the Wei family."
Cai Yong suddenly changed his face and said, "This is Cai's family affair. It seems to have nothing to do with the lord."
Liu Xin bit his scalp and said: "Mr. I knows something. I have sent someone to investigate. Wei Zhongdao has different appearances and misconduct. If Ling Ai marries him, I am afraid it will harm Ling. Please think twice if you love it for a lifetime."
Cai Yong was speechless for a while, and Cai Yan has been screaming in his ears these days. I don't know how many times Bian Yu said that Wei Zhongdao is a frequent visitor to the drunk Hongchen. Although he is not disgusted with men entering and exiting the brothel, it is about his beloved daughter, and he is quite critical of Wei Zhongdao in his heart.
"It's just that people who have no faith will not stand, and if they are unrighteous, they will not do it. I have already agreed to Wei's courtship, how can I be that untrustworthy and unrighteous person!" Cai Yong hesitated again and again, suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind, what happened to Liu Xin He will investigate Wei Zhongdao for no reason. Does he have any intentions against Yan'er? He blurted out, "Why would the lord remember to investigate Master Wei?"
