Hibiscus comes out of clear water, and the carvings are naturally removed. --------Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty "After the chaos, Tianenliu Yelang recalled the old travel book and presented it to the good minister of Jiangxia Wei"
Speaking of Cai Yong and Cai Bojie, he was the general Zuo Zhonglang at that time and was known as Cai Zhonglang. Cai Yong was proficient in music and talented. He was taught by Hu Guang and Hu Boshi, the great Confucian and famous scholar of the time. He was familiar with the classics and history, was good at poetry and poetry, had high attainments in calligraphy, and was good at seal script and official script. He was famous in the world along with Zhong Yao and Cui Yan. In particular, he has the deepest attainments and the highest reputation in official script. He created the "Feibai" calligraphy style and had a great influence on later generations. Later generations commented that Cai Yongfei's white book was "unparalleled in its wonderfulness, and the combination of movement and magical power". He collected more than 10,000 volumes of books during his lifetime, and in his later years he still had 4,000 volumes, including 20 volumes of collected works.
However, Hu Guang had a smooth personality and was a charming eunuch. He was known for pursuing the golden mean. He served as an official in six dynasties for more than thirty years. He was known in history as "one serving as a Sikong, then a Situ, and three times a Taiwei". The capital master wrote a proverb for him: "If you don't care about everything, ask Bo Shi, there is only Hu Gong among the mediocre people in the world." Hu Guang was kind and gentle in many ways, and kept his position and salary, and he also infected Cai Yong with this problem. The best proof is that Cai Yong relied on Dong Zhuo and held a high position regardless of what people wanted.
Dong Zhuo also really gave Cai Yong face. Not only did he obey his advice, but he also gave him a high position, setting an example for current literati. At that time, the court in Luoyang was also a gathering of literati, and there were many people who followed the trend. This poetry meeting also gathered many poets and poets. The most important thing was that Cai Yong solemnly introduced his daughter, Cai Wenji, a talented woman whose literary fame moved the world.
At the beginning of the poetry meeting, Cai Yong sat with Dong Zhuo on the second floor, surrounded by many staff. Chen Long was regarded as a guest. He placed a few desks in front of the window next to him and had a good view. Chen Long lowered his voice an octave and was chatting and joking with Dong Zhuo. Suddenly he heard a shout from downstairs: "Why doesn't Miss Cai come up yet?" which caused a burst of laughter.
Dong Zhuo was not angry but happy. He also looked at Cai Yong and said, "Bo Zhe, you see these young people can't wait. Why don't you just invite Miss Cai to come up?" Cai Yong hurriedly ordered his servants to invite her.
While waiting for Cai Wenji to take action, Dong Zhuo asked Chen Long: "General Baihu, I don't know anything about poetry and rhythm. You are an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and you have to show off your talents today." His words were actually ridiculing.
Chen Long hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Master, that's ridiculous. I'm just a martial artist. This poetry meeting is just playing the piano to me. But Miss Cai has a good reputation, and I don't want to miss it." After saying this, he laughed loudly and generously. When he got up, he had the same resemblance to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo also laughed so hard that his fat face trembled, and said reluctantly: "No, since it is a poetry meeting, each of you must write a poem, and General White Tiger is no exception." After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lu Bu, and said with a lewd smile: "My son, you can be a supervisor. If you can't do it, you will take off your pants in public, get slapped on the board and drink three drinks as a penalty!" Lu Bu bowed and said: "I obey!"
It was only three drinks as a penalty, but it was too embarrassing to take off one's pants in public. For a moment, the officials around Dong Zhuo, especially the generals who had no money in their stomachs, all began to scratch their stomachs and write poems with all their strength in their hearts. When Dong Zhuo saw that his subordinates were all obeying his orders and shaking their heads, he couldn't help but feel proud and proud.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was happy, Cai Yong hurriedly poured a glass of water and wine, went to the Grand Master, and said with a smile: "Master Dong, my daughter is attending today. Girls have a delicate face. Do you think you can suspend the execution of taking off your pants and hitting the boards?"
Dong Zhuo shook his head and said: "That's not possible. Besides, she is a big girl at the age of 18, and she will get married in a minute. If you don't have a son-in-law yet, how about choosing the best one today?" After saying this, he laughed, and everyone around him also laughed. Accompanied by laughter, Cai Yong blushed, drank the wine in his glass in embarrassment, bowed his head and staggered back to his seat.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Dong Zhuo himself raped the queen and concubines every day, and allowed his men to rape, kill, and plunder. The status of women can be imagined. Even when facing a world-famous talented woman, Cai Yong's daughter, Dong Zhuo had no intention of restraining himself.
The people in the lounge upstairs were chatting and laughing, and suddenly there was a burst of piano music in the other wing where Chen Long was looking. Although the sound of the piano is extremely low and thin, it is still clear and elegant, and every syllable is clearly audible. Gradually the sound becomes louder, rising and joining, the sound gradually increases, like the splashing of spring water and the singing of hundreds of birds, and then like the sudden burst of rain, breaking the fine wine, big and small beads, falling on the jade plate, just like the flowers blooming in the garden, and the flowers blooming. The flowers are blooming and the fruits are blooming; in the rapid sound of music, they suddenly fall from the sky, as if they are flying down, the Milky Way falls, birds return to their nests, the stars and the moon set, the sound of the piano gradually disappears, and finally becomes silent. .
The lingering sound lingered, and everyone upstairs and downstairs listened in ecstasy. Even Dong Zhuo, an old man, was dumbfounded when he heard the end, as if something in his heart had been touched. Immediately afterwards, thunderous cheers erupted, and Dong Zhuo also clapped his hands and shouted: "Where is the piano master? There are many rewards."
Cai Yong took three steps and two steps at a time, went to the side room to greet the two people, and brought them directly to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw a woman on his left hand, gorgeously dressed, but already a mature woman. He glanced at it and stopped looking at it. On his right hand was a young girl, with bright appearance, white skin, elegant appearance, generous manners, and wearing a light blue dress. She is wearing a solid-colored dress with a white collar exposed. She has an extremely dignified temperament and a bookish face. She has light eyebrows and black eyelashes, and her big and deep eyes seem to contain a sea of wisdom.
Cai Yong introduced the middle-aged young woman as his wife Wang, and then introduced the young girl: "This is the little girl Cai Yan, and it was she who played the piano just now." Dong Zhuo smiled and said hello, and asked Cai Yan to sit down next to Cai Yong. It immediately caused a stir among the scholars downstairs. They all came downstairs to watch, and some even loudly sent manuscripts of love poems. It turned out that courtship in the Han Dynasty was not very shy.
In Chen Long's eyes, Cai Yan is definitely a gentle, intellectual, elegant, dignified, virtuous, and kind-hearted beauty. Especially the hidden edge makes men want to talk and explore her, and even It is to confess the most unspeakable secret, as if Cai Yan would be a natural secret keeper and a particularly worthy person to confide in. But in Dong Zhuo's eyes, Cai Yan was too pure and young, and obviously not his cup of tea, so after meeting Cai Yan just now, he obviously had no ambitions towards Cai Yan.
Dong Zhuo's interest turned to drinking and composing poems. He personally held up the board and said, "Miss Cai has arrived. Gentlemen downstairs, after drinking this drink, it's time for you to compose poems. If you can't do it, Don't blame me for giving you a plate for my filial piety!" After finishing his drink, he pointed the plate at a tall, thin young scholar downstairs and said, "Starting from you, each of you will compose an impromptu poem based on the scenery in the garden. !”
The scholar had been drafting for a long time, but it was not about scenery. He was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked around at the beautiful scenery in the garden for inspiration. Dong Zhuo was impatient with the waiting and shouted: "According to the advance order!"
Lu Bu took the wooden plank from Dong Zhuo's hand and walked down the stairs. The scholar's face was flushed with anxiety and he couldn't hold back any words. Although he repeatedly waved his hands to beg for mercy, Lu Bu pushed him down, took off his pants and slapped him on the buttocks. plate. Then he picked up the scholar like a chicken, poured three large glasses of rice wine, and poured it down the scholar's neck without any explanation. Everyone burst into laughter, and the scholar was greatly humiliated. He sat aside in a daze, losing his poetic nature.
Seeing that the scene was funny and the scholars were embarrassed, Dong Zhuo was extremely happy and applauded vigorously. Cai Yan was young and tender-faced. Seeing that the punishment was very unbearable, Cai Yan's pretty face turned red and she closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt a gaze shining on her face. When she looked up, she saw a dark face with beards. A big man with an unattractive appearance and deep-set eye sockets. Strangely, his eyes were very calm and elegant, which seemed to be incompatible with his overall temperament. It was Chen Long who came to propose a toast. Cai Yong raised a glass of wine and introduced: "This is the famous person in front of the current Grand Master, Marquis Wucheng, General Annan, and the Grand Administrator of Wu County Yan Baihu."
Wang and Cai Yan raised their glasses, Cai Yan took a sip, and Chen Long said: "Miss Cai's name is really well known. Today happens to be a poetry meeting. Anyway, Miss Cai will compose a poem later, so we big guys The rough guy didn’t come here in vain.”
Cai Yan smiled and nodded. The self-proclaimed rough man opposite him strangely had a sunny temperament, which made people yearn for him. However, seeing that his rough appearance and strong body were not worthy of his temperament, Cai Yan felt... , hiding a trace of doubt.
Dong Zhuo, who was next to him, heard Chen Long's words and said in a rough voice: "General Baihu is right! But before Miss Cai composes a poem later, it will be General Baihu's turn to compose a poem first!"
The generals sitting around booed, as if they had seen the scene of Yan Baihu having his pants removed and his buttocks removed. Chen Long laughed and said, "Master, how about I just take off my pants and get slapped on the board?" He glanced at Cai Cai narrowly. Yan saw that she had lowered her head deeply, exposing the white back of her neck.
While everyone was laughing, Lu Bu was already busy downstairs. It happened to be the turn of a short scholar, who called himself Wang Zhi of Anyang County. He read a poem. Everyone thought it was nonsense, so Lu Bu raped him. Just hit the pants. Dong Zhuo shouted: "The people below will stay here for a while. Can you listen to a song by Marquis Wucheng first?"
Everyone was cheering loudly. Chen Long knew that Dong Zhuo was having fun, and he was trying to suppress his arrogance. Knowing that he was a big boss, Chen Long wanted him to cash in the poem manuscript immediately. Everyone calmed down and turned to see the predicament of King De of Soochow. Unexpectedly, this big man with a dark face was calm and collected. He raised his glass and drank first: "Since it is the order of the Grand Master, how dare I disobey it! This cup is dedicated to the Grand Master. Master, I wish the country peace and prosperity! Isn’t it just to compose poems? Wait for me to walk seven and a half more steps." After saying that, he left his seat and drank the drink in one gulp, then slowly took steps forward.
This time, even Cai Yan turned his head curiously and watched Chen Long take steps. The busybodies downstairs have already started counting: "One step, two steps!...Seven steps! Half!"
Chen Long calmly hung his left foot in the air, and never landed on the ground in the last half step. Just like this, the golden rooster stood alone, staring at Cai Yan's wonderful eyes, and recited with a desolate tone: "The wine and meat of Zhumen are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road." . The prosperity and decline are so close, and the melancholy is difficult to describe again. I heard the roar at the entrance, and the young son died of hunger. I meditated on the unemployed, because I thought about the soldiers far away. I was born free of rent and tax, and my name was not subject to the expedition. I worry about the southern part of Qi, but I have real desires. The country is prosperous." After saying that, he stepped out and stood firmly on the spot, exactly seven and a half steps away.
