Lu Dynasty

Chapter 76 On Poetry
Zhang Fei said that he would take that painting as my birthday present, which moved me very much.While Cai Yong held Zhang Fei's painting, he was shocked by Zhang Fei's painting skills.He was even more surprised when he saw two paintings with my two wives as the theme and two small poems on them.Let's not talk about the content of those two poems, just look at the vigorous and powerful writing in that stroke, which is quite like everyone.Cai Yong was originally a great calligrapher, but he was in a daze looking at Zhang Fei's small script inscribed on the painting, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yunxiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon. If you don't meet at the top of Qunyu Mountain, you will meet at Yaotai." Cai Yong gently read the poem on Cai Yan's portrait, savoring it for a while , Said: "A few days ago, Kong Wenju sent a letter saying that I, Cai Yong, had a good vision and recruited a literary and elegant son-in-law. I got something, but I didn’t want to, but I underestimated my son-in-law! This poem makes people think of a person like white jade, and like a warm white peony flower. My son-in-law compares Yan’er to The heavenly daughter descends to earth, which shows the love and love of the virtuous son-in-law for Yan'er. No wonder Yide said that Yan'er listened to the poems of the virtuous son-in-law and recited them all day. It's a good thing that Yan'er can't tell me such a wonderful poem! What a girl Extrovert!"

After hearing Cai Yong's words, Cai Yan buried her face in my chest in embarrassment.Then Cai Yong took Zhang Fei's painting of Gao Rui again, and read: "Last year and today in this door, the face of a person is red with peach blossoms. I don't know where the face is going, but the peach blossom is still smiling in the spring breeze." Cai Yong said after reading. : "Although this poem is very good, it is a bit out of place! This girl should be Gao Rui's little girl, why does this poem seem to have a kind of nostalgia in it? My son-in-law, people are by your side , what are you thinking about?"

Gao Rui looked at Cai Yan who was in my arms with a little jealousy, and said sourly: "Master Cai, this is Yide's mistake, the young master is missing me, the young master is missing Miss Cai!"

I listened to Gao Rui's words, and said with a smile: "Hey, why am I so sour when I hear this, is there a vinegar jar overturned here?" After hearing what I said, the brothers looked at me very puzzled, and Zhang Fei opened his mouth Ask: "Brother, what does this have to do with jealousy?" I suddenly realized that the term "jealousy" only existed after the Tang Dynasty. Concubine, otherwise I would rather die by taking poison, but Tang Taizong replaced the poison with vinegar, so the word jealousy came out.

Now that I've said it, I'm going to make it up!So I smiled and said: "Hehe, this is a little story that I saw by accident, and I forgot where I saw it. It is about a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The king was very wise, but there was a man who liked to reward his subordinates." The habit of a concubine. The wife of the Prime Minister of this small country is a very strong woman. She controls her husband very tightly and forbids him to take a concubine. Once, the monarch wanted to give the Prime Minister a concubine. Mrs. Guoxiang quit. The monarch took a bottle of vinegar and said to Mrs. Guoxiang: "This is a bottle of poison. If your husband is allowed to take a concubine or you drink this bottle of poison, you can choose one!" Mrs. Guo Xiang thought it was true, took the poison with tears in her eyes, drank it and waited to die, but found that what the monarch gave her was vinegar. That’s how the word jealous came about, so I said Rui’er was like a vinegar jar knocked over, sour !"

"Oh!" Zhang Fei said, "Isn't jealousy just jealousy!"

When Zhang Fei said a word, Gao Rui's face turned pale in an instant.Gao Rui knelt down in front of me tremblingly, and said in a crying voice: "Master, Rui'er didn't mean that! Really not!"

I thumped Zhang Fei on the head with a chestnut, and said: "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you scare Rui'er!" I quickly pulled Rui'er into my arms and said, "Ruier, young master I didn't say you were jealous, but this jealousy is because you care about the young master. If you don't believe me, ask Yan'er, Yan'er, don't you feel a little uncomfortable when I hold Rui'er?"

Cai Yan moved a bit in my arms, made room for Gao Rui, and said: "A little bit, but I have a very good relationship with Sister Ruier, so let her have some, anyway, she can't take it Brother Feng snatched away from me, if she wants to monopolize Brother Feng, Yan'er will be angry." Gao Rui listened to Cai Yan's words with gratitude in her eyes.After all, even if Gao Rui marries me, she can only be a concubine.If Cai Yan is not good for her, she can only endure it.Just now Zhang Fei said that she was jealous, and jealousy was a valid reason for the ancients to divorce their regular wives.She will be nothing more than a concubine in the future, and now she is only a maid, so she has no right to be jealous.

Although Cai Yong knew about my relationship with Gao Rui, but now that I was holding his daughter and Gao Rui in my arms in front of him, he couldn't bear it anymore.So he coughed and said, "Son-in-law, this old man is well-read and has a wide range of knowledge. I have always managed Dongguan's books, but why hasn't this old man read this story?" Touching the place where I knocked on the side, he nodded violently, not knowing whether he was approving of Cai Yong, or protesting against my knocking on his head.

I secretly said in my heart: If you have seen it, you will be a ghost.This is the story of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years from now.So I laughed and said, "Father-in-law, Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism, and the history books of various countries were burned. If there are only a few words left, it is normal for my father-in-law not to have seen them."

Cai Yong nodded and said: "That's a good statement, but..." Cai Yong really couldn't see my behavior of hugging left and right, pointed to my arms and said: "My son-in-law is like this, I'm afraid it's something It's not right!"

"Ah!" Cai Yan and Gao Rui exclaimed at the same time, and then they pretended to be ostriches and thrust their heads into my arms. I saw their snow-white necks turn red, and I thought their faces should be too. It's flushed, I really want to pull their little faces out of my arms and see their shy looks.However, Cai Yong still had to deal with it, so I said, "My lord father-in-law, this son-in-law has nothing to do. You saw it just now, that kid Yide is full of nonsense, almost frightened Gao Rui, my little one." My son-in-law has no choice but to...hehe!" I rubbed my head, pretending to be stupid, and Cai Yong couldn't help it.

Cai Yong looked at me and said, "My old man doesn't want to care about the affairs of you young people. If you treat Yan'er badly in the future, be careful that the old man is rude to you! By the way, you invited me here today, not asking me to come. Look at the paintings and poems!"

I called Xiao Er and said: "Go and frame these paintings!" Then pointing to the portraits of Cai Yan and Xiao Ruier, he said, "These two portraits must not be leaked out, send them to me after they are mounted, and the other ones, You take it to the store for decoration, and if anyone asks, they will say that it is the work of Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, the righteous brother of the Dong family! Do you understand? Yide, please write your name on all the paintings!" Waiting for Zhang Fei's question Good name, Xiao Er took the painting to frame it.

I took out the high-quality wine that Huang Mingcai steamed and said to everyone: "Today I invite everyone to drink!"
