Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25 The first time with Cai Yan

When Cao Cao walked away with a smile on his face, Fei Qian still couldn't figure out whether Cao Cao discovered his deception or if he didn't discover anything at all?

If there was any discovery, why didn't he say anything? If there was no discovery, why did Fei Qian always feel that Cao Cao's last smile before leaving was a little strange?

Even though Cao Cao now looks like he is harmless to humans and animals and has no fight with others, Fei Qian knows in his heart that this is nothing more than a protective color for Cao Cao. When Cao Cao takes control of the power in the future, he will no longer look like this. It is recorded in history that he was not angry but had a strong aura.

For a moment, Fei Qian still had the urge to rush to Cao Cao and point out the sky and the earth, spit out the charter, be a magician and prophet who knew three hundred years in advance and six hundred years in the future, and told Cao Cao not to have sex with his wife. After a lot of trouble, the generals were wiped out, and Cao Cao was told that Huang Gai could not be taken away, and not all calcium tablets were Gai within Gai...

But reason still told Fei Qian that if you rush forward like this, Cao Cao will probably send you to immortality... Just like in later generations, a stranger suddenly came to you and muttered that he would be hit by a car next week. My legs will be injured next week - even for a sincere Buddhist or Christian, this is hard to accept.

Forget it, let's talk about it when we get a chance. Besides, it seems that Cao Cao is about to assassinate Dong Zhuo? Then he will be exiled to Chenliu? It might not be reliable to rush over and hug her thigh now. Maybe not only will she not be hugged, but her hair will be pricked instead.

Let’s solve the problem in front of us first. I don’t know if I can get through it yet. Fei Qian took the letter and walked towards Cai's mansion, but he didn't notice Cao Cao, who had already reached the corner of the street, and glanced at him meaningfully before disappearing from sight.

Of course Fei Qian didn't understand that he was just doing it to make up for his previous careless mistakes, so another possibility emerged in Cao Cao's mind - Cao Cao himself had just collected an ancient book for Cai Yan, how could it be so coincidental that this kid also Did you get fragments of ancient Chinese literature?

What a coincidence?

However, Cao Cao felt relieved when he thought that Fei Qian seemed to be just a side branch of the Fei family. The branches of the Fei family are not on the same level at all... Even if you have the intention, what can you do?

Cao Cao originally came here today to find a backup for himself. Although Cai Yong was a little pedantic, he was indeed popular and knowledgeable, not to mention famous. No one in the entire Han Dynasty did not know that if he could If you formally get involved in politics, instead of using the title of consultant as you do now, then as a disciple of Cai Yong, you will naturally have considerable weight.

It's a pity that Cai Yong didn't have much desire for the political world. Taking Cai Yong's route directly would not work, so Cao Cao had to settle for the second best and turn to another direction. If he could get Cai Yan, he could ignore the development of the political world of his disciples. After all, he was an outsider. So when a son-in-law has political needs, it would be unreasonable to ignore it as a relative, right?

Taking a step back, even if Cai Yong fails to turn around for a while, as a son-in-law with students and disciples all over the government and the public, his position will naturally be stable.

It turned out that Cao Cao was not worthy of Cai Yan. The eunuch's birth status was half a level difference, and then he was already married and was another half level difference, so it was not equal at all.

But things are different now. Although Cai Yan regained his freedom as soon as the Wei family divorced him, his net worth was different from when he was unmarried, so it was still enough for Cao Cao.

But he didn't expect that Cao Cao came to deliver ancient books and wanted to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Cai Yan, but he met Fei Qian who also came to deliver some ancient fragments. How could Cao Cao not be suspicious?

It's a pity that Fei Qian didn't see it, otherwise he would have known that he was being targeted by Cao Cao, a fierce man.

Fei Qian couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw Cai Yong holding the bamboo slips, looking left and right, and asking for a set of small brushes, hooks, shovels and other strange tools. He was a little worried when Cao Cao saw him at the door just now. I didn't expect Cai Yong to be so well-equipped. The situation is not good now. The ancients were really not that easy to fool. I feel like I am sending meat into the tiger's mouth, just waiting for others to bite...

Cai Yong first took the brocade cloth and gently wiped the bamboo pieces carefully. He looked at the brocade cloth, his face was darkened, and he turned to look at Fei Qian in displeasure.

Fei Qian secretly noticed that the old man Cai Yong had something wrong with his expression, and his heart almost reached his throat.

"Husband's letters are hard to come by. They need to be cherished with love and brushed away from time to time to prevent them from being stained with dust." Cai Yong said to Fei Qian seriously.

Fei Qian lowered his head to accept the lesson, and secretly took a breath. It turned out that he disliked me for not protecting me well, and there was dust. It was buried in the ground and was taken out not long ago. How could there be no dust...

Cai Yong held a small hook at the end of the bamboo slip, and gently opened it a little. He checked the texture of the bamboo slip and nodded slightly. It was indeed the texture of the bamboo slip used in ancient times.

After looking at it for a while, Cai Yong couldn't help but frowned and muttered: "What a surprise! Why does it look like a new injury?"

Fei Qian's heart skipped a beat.

Just as Fei Qian was thinking about how to speak more satisfactorily, a clear cry suddenly came from outside the door: "Father! Father! I found it!"

Fei Qian turned around suddenly and hurriedly walked in from outside the hall.

It was mid-afternoon, and the sunlight was not too strong. It shone slantly from behind the person, which actually gave Fei Qian the illusion that the person was walking in the sunlight.

The visitor was holding two large parchment rolls in his arms, covering half of his face, panting slightly, a few strands of black hair stuck to his temples with fine sweat, his delicate skin showing a peach blossom-like blush in the sun, and the thin down quilt The sun dyed it golden.

When the visitor saw that there was not only Cai Yong but also Fei Qian in the hall, he yelled "Yeah" and subconsciously wanted to cover his face with his sleeves, but he couldn't lift the sleeves with two sheepskin scrolls in his hands. He had no choice but to hide his face in the parchment, revealing his dark and translucent eyes, looking at Fei Qian flickeringly.

Cai Yong "coughed" twice, obviously a little embarrassed about his daughter's rashness, but everyone had come in and he couldn't kick people out, so he had to introduce the two to each other.

Fei Qiancai confirmed his suspicion. The visitors were indeed the most talented women in the Three Kingdoms, Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji.

Different from Fei Qian's impression of later generations, Cai Yan at this time had not experienced those tragic things after all, and his temperament still retained a bit of the straightforwardness, frankness, and cuteness of a girl.

"I've met Senior Sister!" Fei Qian greeted her seriously and formally.

Fei Qian had read Cai Zhaoji's "Poems of Sorrow and Indignation" and was slightly impressed by the poems in it. The most profound impression was the description of Cai Wenji's grief when she was redeemed - "...if you have to save yourself, you should abandon your son... The child hugged my neck and asked my mother what she wanted. People said that if my mother left, she would never come back... Seeing this collapse for five years, I was in a trance and crazy. I cried and touched it with my hands, and then I responded with doubts. Both generations "

There was not a word of resentment toward the court, society, or others, but only deep sadness. Even when they were insulted by the Qiang and Hu, they only said that these people had "little justice" instead of hysterical and vicious curses... And historically, Not only was she tragically abducted by the barbarians for 12 years, but she eventually had to marry a vulgar warrior who could not be more vulgar. She was undoubtedly hurt from body to heart. This kind of scar, this kind of pain, Fei Qian felt a little bit It’s chilling to think about it.

So no matter from which aspect, Fei Qian feels deep respect for a woman who is so talented, loves books as much as her life, and has a kind and strong soul even though she is weak. Therefore, Fei Qian pays homage to this gift very much. Attentive and very sincere.
