Three Kingdoms

It is different from the noise and hustle and bustle of Pingyang City, and it is even different from the Academy. In Cai Yong's backyard, I am afraid that I have learned the true meaning of the word tranquility.

There were originally some trees in the courtyard, but obviously some were transplanted later and planted high and low around the pavilion. It was the time of spring when the flowers were blooming, and the branches were green and the peach blossoms were red. It was the right time. It's a good time of year.

In the small pavilion in the forest, Cai Yan was playing the piano, and his voice was like an elf, jumping and floating gently on the branches of the forest, and then jumped from the forest to Fei Qian's head and shoulders. on the road, holding the corners of his clothes and shaking them, laughing happily, and then walked away into the distance again...

The fragrant red peach blossoms scattered in the forest, flying slightly with the sound of music, and a layer of petals fell on the steps of the small pavilion, as if the green and black steps were dyed with a layer of pink luster. Several bees and butterflies were flying up and down among the branches, leaves and flowers, and they seemed to be dancing to the sound of music.

The sound of the piano is clear and the singing is clear and serene. Although it does not have the multi-channel and multi-soundtrack model like that of later generations, it is clear and transparent, just like a mountain stream winding through the forest, with tinkling sounds, and everyone who hears it is indifferent. You will feel irritable, and you will feel relaxed instantly.

Fei Qian couldn't help but stop and listen quietly. Several peach blossom petals fell from the air and landed on Fei Qian's robe...

The song ended, and the lingering sound lingered.

Cai Yan in the pavilion slowly raised his head, stood up, bowed, smiled slightly, and said, "You're back?"

"Well, I'm back." Fei Qian bowed his hands.

Cai Yan turned the catkins over slightly and motioned for Fei to sneak into the pavilion and sit down.

As he got closer, Fei Qianfang noticed that Cai Yan seemed to be slightly plumper than when he was in Chang'an. Because the weather was still relatively cold, Cai Yan wore a red fur coat, which looked like cream on his cheeks. , reflecting the ruddy color that represents health like peach blossoms.

"Fetch the tea set according to the book..." Cai Yan turned to face the outside of the pavilion and said.

A little maid immediately responded from behind the pavilion, and then she carried a small red clay stove to one side of the pavilion with a thick Gebu cushion, and then trotted on and sat a copper cauldron on it. On the red clay stove, he then went to fetch tea cups, tea bowls and other things. Just as he was about to kneel on the table to make tea, Cai Yan stopped him.

"By the way, there are two volumes of letters on the left side of the desk in the study. Go and get them..." Cai Yan said calmly to the little maid.

The little maid hesitated for a moment before accepting the book and said, "Oh... then this tea soup..."

Cai Yan reached out and took the water spoon from the little maid's hand and said, "What's the problem? I'll do it."

"Oh..." The little maid looked at the closed copper cauldron and estimated that the water in it might not boil so quickly, so she agreed and went to the study to get the book.

Fei Qian watched Cai Yan put down the water spoon, then opened the tea bowl and took out a piece of tea cake. He couldn't help but said with some fear: "This... how dare you bother senior sister to make tea..."

Cai Yan glanced over with a pair of wonderful eyes and said, "Why, you can't drink the tea I made? What do you like to add?"

"...Well, green salt will do...How about I make the tea..." Seeing Cai Yan's behavior, Fei Qian was no longer polite, so he took the tea-making stone ladle and pestle, and then took it back. Cai Yan handed over small pieces of tea cake that had been lightly baked on the fire, put them into a stone ladle, and ground them gently.

"How about Yinshan? It's really straight and winding, Guanghenan?" Cai Yan clamped a small piece of silver charcoal with a carbon hammer and put it into the small stove, and then looked at the water gradually filling the copper cauldron on the stove. , asked.

"Well, the pasture is rich, and it's really a good place to raise horses..." Fei Qian didn't raise his head, first pounded the tea cake into smaller pieces, and then ground the pieces into powder. Of course, The finer the grinding, the better.

"..." Cai Yan glanced at Fei Qian, who was lowering his head to make tea, and then opened his red lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

The little maid who went to the study to get the slips took the book, held the slips in her arms, and trotted back. Before she could catch her breath, she hurriedly took over all the work of making tea...

Cai Yan first handed one of the scrolls to Fei Qian and motioned for Fei Qian to take a look.

Fei Qian unfolded it and saw that one of the volumes began with: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars are arranged. The day is white and the night is dark, the sun is bright and the moon is shining, the wind is blowing, the snow is dancing, and the lightning is thundering." The clouds bring rain, the dew condenses with morning frost, the rainbow glows, the fog settles and the hail falls. Spring is born and summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is stored, the seasons are in line with the weather, cold comes and summer goes..."

The handwriting is dignified and beautiful, but it is compact but has a kind of grandeur. It was written by Cai Yan himself.

"This is..." Fei Qian raised his head and glanced at Cai Yan in surprise. Fei Qian and Cai Yan only mentioned it once last time. I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly. Moreover, the words in it are basically some natural phenomena that are often seen in daily life or basic common sense. It is indeed very suitable. An article for elementary school students.

"How about it, can you look into your junior brother's eyes?" Cai Yan raised his chin slightly, revealing a small section of his delicate and white neck.

Fei Qian quickly raised his hands and said, "Senior sister, you are a great talent! Such a wonderful chapter should be passed down from its origin. The merits of Cai's Meng Xue chapter are immeasurable!"

"Junior brother, if you like it, that's fine..." Cai Yan waved his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't care. I originally wrote this because Fei Qian mentioned that Cai Yan smiled when he saw Fei Qian was happy. As for other additional things, Cai Yan didn't care much at all.

Looking at the other scroll in his hand, Cai Yan's smile gradually faded. He hesitated for a moment, but still handed the other scroll to Fei Qian.

When Fei Qian took it over, he thought it was another article written by Cai Yan, but when he opened it up, he found that the content was actually "The Biography of General Wei's Hussars" written by Tai Shigong...

Cai Yan gave me this, what does it mean?

"On the 17th, he went out to Dingxiang twice and won the most merit in the entire army; on the 19th, he conquered Hexi three times and expanded the territory; on the 21st, he commanded the three armies and marched across Mobei..." Cai Yan stared at Fei Qian with a pair of wonderful eyes. , said softly, "...But after two years...Junior brother, if you have time, you should read this article carefully..."

"Sister's intention..." Fei Qian frowned slightly.

Cai Yan shook his head slightly, and the steps on his head moved a few times. Apparently he didn't want to discuss the topic in detail right away: "Ah, the tea is ready... let's use this tea to congratulate our junior brother for his success in regaining Yinshan..."

Seeing that Cai Yan was unwilling to talk at this time, Fei Qian had guessed something, but he could only put it down for the time being. He and Cai Yan held up the tea bowls and slowly sipped the tea soup.

The spring breeze gently pulled a few peach blossoms, played with them a few times, then threw the peach blossom petals down, and went to look for other things in the distance, so the few peach blossom petals floated diagonally into the pavilion and fell. Between Fei Qian and Cai Yan's mat.

After sitting for a while, Fei Qian said goodbye to Cai Yan. He had just walked out of the forest with two volumes of letters in his arms when he heard the sound of the piano playing again behind him, and then Cai Yan's graceful voice sounded softly:

"...I am at my disposal for my chariot, my chariot, and my oxen. When I have gathered my strength, I will return home."

I am a disciple, I am a charioteer, I am a teacher, I am a brigade. My journey has gathered, and the clouds have returned to their destination.

He solemnly thanked him for his merits and summoned him to camp. Lie Lie levied troops and summoned Bo to succeed.

The original sun is flat and the spring is clear. If the call to the uncle is successful, the king's heart will be at peace..."

Fei Qian couldn't help but pause for a moment, and suddenly felt that the letter in his arms became heavier...
