Chapter 130: Luoyang Poetry Club

Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. --------Tang Dynasty. Li Bai "After the Chaos and Departure, Tian'en Liuyelang Reminisces the Old Travel Book, and Presents Jiang Xiawei Taishou Liangzai"

It is said that Cai Yong Cai Bojiao, who was the general of Zuo Zhonglang at the time, was known as Cai Zhonglang. Cai Yong is proficient in music and rhythm, talented, the teacher of the world's great Confucian, the famous scholar Hu Guang Hu Boshi, through the history of the classics, good at words, calligraphy attainments are extremely high, good at seals, subordinate, and Zhong Xuan, Cui Yan and known in the world. In particular, Lishu has the deepest attainments and the highest reputation, creating a "flying white" book style, which has a great impact on later generations. Later generations commented that Cai Yongfei's white book was "wonderful and wonderful, and it was a combination of divine skills". He collected more than 10,000 volumes in his life, and in his later years there were still 4,000 volumes, with 20 volumes of essays.

But Hu Guang has a sleek personality, a soft and charming eunuch, known for pursuing the golden mean, has been an official for more than 30 years in six dynasties, and is known in history as "a Sikong, and then a Situ, and three Dengtai Lieutenants". Jingshi wrote a proverb for him: "Ignore everything and ask Bo Shi, there is Hu Gong in the middle of the world." "Hu Guang is kind and gentle in many ways, keeps his position, and also infects this problem to Cai Yong. Cai Yong doesn't care what people want, he is attached to Dong Zhuo, and his high position is the best proof.

Dong Zhuo really gave Cai Yong a lot of face, not only obeyed his words, but also gave him a high position, setting an example for the current literati. At one time, the imperial court in Luoyang was also a gathering of literati, and there was no shortage of people who tended to be inflammatory. This poetry meeting also gathered a lot of sassy people, and the most important thing is that Cai Yong grandly launched his daughter, Cai Wenji, a talented woman whose literary name moves the world.

At the beginning of the poetry meeting, Cai Yong sat on the second floor with Dong Zhuo, surrounded by many staff, Chen Long was considered a guest, and put a few cases in front of the window door next to him, with a good view. Chen Long lowered his voice an octave, laughing with Dong Zhuo, and suddenly heard a shout from downstairs: "Why hasn't Miss Cai come up yet?" There was a burst of laughter.

Dong Zhuo was not angry but happy, and also looked at Cai Yong and said, "Uncle, you see that these young people can't wait, why don't you just invite Miss Cai to come up?" Cai Yong hurriedly ordered someone to invite.

Waiting for Cai Wenji's kung fu, Dong Zhuo asked Chen Longdao: "General White Tiger, this Taishi doesn't know anything about poetry and rhythm. You are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you have to show your hand today. It was a joke.

Chen Long hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The master is falsely praised, he is just a martial artist in the next place, this poetry will be purely for me to play the piano to the cow." But Miss Cai is famous, and I don't want to miss it. After that, he laughed loudly and loudly, but it smelled similar to Dong Zhuo's.

Dong Zhuo's fat face trembled with a smile, and he said unrelentingly: "No, since it is a poetry club, each of you has to compose a poem, and General Baihu is no exception." After that, he turned around and looked at Lu Bu, and said with a lewd smile: "Feng Xianwu'er, you can be a surveillance officer, if you can't do it, you will take off your pants in the middle, hit the board and punish three glasses of wine!" Lu Bu bowed and said, "Obey!" ”

It's just a fine of three glasses of wine, it's too embarrassing to take off your pants in public, and for a while, the officials around Dong Zhuo, especially the generals who had no goods in their stomachs, began to search their stomachs and scrape their stomachs, and used their strength to eat milk in their hearts to compose poems. Dong Zhuo saw that his subordinate officials were all obeying his orders, shaking his head there, he couldn't help but be complacent, and his heart was extremely proud.

Cai Yong saw that Dong Zhuo was happy, hurriedly poured a glass of water and wine, went to the Taishi, and said with a smile: "Taishi Dong, the little girl is present today, the girl has a tender face, do you think this pants off board can not be implemented for the time being?" ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "That's not good. Besides, eighteen years old is also a big girl, and she will get married in minutes. If you don't have a son-in-law yet, why don't you choose a son-in-law today? Cai Yong blushed, drank the wine in the cup in embarrassment, lowered his head and staggered back to his seat.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Dong Zhuo himself rapes the queen concubine of the palace every day, and connives, and connives, his subordinates rape, kill, and plunder, the status of women can be imagined. Even in the face of a talented woman who is famous all over the world, or Cai Yong's daughter, Dong Zhuo has no intention of restraining at all.

The upstairs seat was talking and laughing, and in the other room on Chen Long's side, there was a sudden sound of the piano. Although the note is extremely low and thin, it is still clear and elegant, and every syllable is clearly audible. Gradually, the sound becomes louder, the beginning and the end of the transition, the sound gradually increases, like the splash of spring water, the harmony of a hundred birds, and then like a sudden rain, breaking the elixir, the big beads and small beads, falling on the jade plate, as if the garden in the group of fragrant flowers, the grass is vying for the fragrance, the flowers are like brocade, and the fruits are abundant; In the sound of falling sharply, it suddenly fell from a high altitude, as if it was flying down, the Milky Way was sprinkled, the birds returned to their nests, the stars and the moon fell, and the sound of the piano gradually became silent.

The aftermath was endless, and everyone upstairs and downstairs listened to it as if they were drunk, and even Dong Zhuo, the old coarse, was stunned to hear the end, as if he had touched a certain heartfelt heart. Immediately after that, the earth-shattering cheers erupted, and Dong Zhuo also slapped his hands and shouted, "Where is the pianist?" There are many rewards. ”

Cai Yong took three steps and made two steps, went to the side room to greet the two people, and brought them straight to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw that the left hand was a woman, gorgeously dressed, but she was already a, and after glancing at it, she stopped looking; On the right is a young girl, with bright appearance, snow-white skin, elegant appearance, generous manners, wearing a light blue solid color women's dress, revealing a white collar, extremely dignified temperament, full of bookish air, set off a faint eyebrows and black eyelashes, and the big and deep eyes seem to hide the wisdom of the sea.

Cai Yong introduced the middle-aged young woman as his wife Wang, and introduced the young girl and said: "This is the little girl Cai Yan, and the suitable piano is what she talked about." Dong Zhuo smiled and said hello, and let Cai Yan sit next to Cai Yong, which immediately caused a sensation among the soldiers downstairs, and they all went downstairs to watch, and even sent love poems loudly.

In Chen Long's eyes, Cai Yan is definitely a gentle, intellectual, elegant, dignified, virtuous, and kind temperament beauty, especially the hidden sense of marginality, which really makes men want to talk and explore with her, and even confess the most unspeakable secrets, as if Cai Yan will be a natural secret-keeper, especially worthy of confiding. But in Dong Zhuo's eyes, Cai Yan is too pure and green, and it is obviously not his dish, so after seeing Cai Yan just now, he obviously has no ambition for Cai Yan.

Dong Zhuo's interest actually shifted to drinking and composing poems, and he personally held the board and said: "Miss Cai has arrived, the scholars downstairs, after this drink, it's time for you to compose poems." If you can't do it, don't blame my son for rewarding you with filial piety! After saying that, he drank it all, pointed to the tall and thin young man downstairs with a board and said: "Starting with you, everyone will improvise a poem about the scenery in this garden!" ”

The scholar had been working on the draft for a long time, but it was not in terms of scenery, he was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around at the beautiful scenery in the garden to find inspiration, Dong Zhuo and the others were impatient, and shouted: "Give the order first!" ”

Lu Bu took the wooden board from Dong Zhuo's hand and walked down the stairs, the gentleman's face was red in a hurry, and he couldn't hold back his good sentences, although he waved his hand again and again to beg for mercy, but Lu Bu pressed him down, pulled off his pants, and smoked a board on his buttocks. Then he grabbed the scholar like a chicken, poured three glasses of rice wine, and poured it down the soldier's neck. Everyone laughed, and the gentleman lost his face greatly, and sat on the side in a daze, and there was no longer poetry.

Dong Zhuo saw that the scene was funny and the literati were embarrassed, so he was very happy to see it, and applauded vigorously. Cai Yan's young face was tender, seeing that the punishment method was very unbearable, his pretty face was slightly red and he closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that a gaze was shooting on his face, and when he looked up, it was a black-faced man with a beard, his appearance was not good, his eye sockets were deep, and the strange thing was that his eyes were very calm and elegant, which seemed to be very incompatible with the temperament of the whole person, and it was Chen Long who came to toast. Cai Yongju said: "This is the celebrity in front of today's Taishi, Wucheng Hou, General Annan, and Wujun Taishou Yan Baihu. ”

Wang and Cai Yan raised their glasses, Cai Yan took a sip, and Chen Long said: "Miss Cai's name is really like thunder, today just happens to be a poetry meeting, no matter what, Miss Cai will write a poem later, then we will not come in vain." ”

Cai Yan smiled and nodded, the person opposite who claimed to be a rough man was very strange with a sunny temperament, which made people yearn for it, but looking at his rough appearance and strong figure, he was quite unworthy of his temperament, which made Cai Yan's heart hide a trace of doubt.

Dong Zhuo, who was next to him, heard Long Chen's words and said in a rough voice: "General White Tiger is right!" But before Miss Cai writes poems for a while, it's the turn of General Baihu to write poems first! ”

The generals sitting around were coaxed for a while, as if they had all seen the scene of Yan Baihu being stripped of his pants and big buttocks, Chen Long laughed and said, "Master, how about I take off my pants directly and hit the board?" As he spoke, he glanced at Cai Yan and saw that she had lowered her head deeply, revealing the back of her snow-white neck.

In the laughter of everyone, Lu Bu was already busy downstairs, and it happened to be the turn of a short scholar, who claimed to be Wang Zhi of Anyang County, and read a poem, which was considered bullshit by everyone, and Lu Bu picked up his pants and beat him. Dong Zhuo shouted: "The people below live, can you listen to Wuchenghou first?" ”

Everyone applauded loudly, Chen Long knew that Dong Zhuo was happy to play, and secondly, he suppressed his arrogance a little, knowing that he was a big boss, but he wanted him to cash in the poem immediately. Everyone quieted down, and they all turned their heads to see the embarrassment of King De of Dongwu, but they didn't expect this big man with a black face to be calm, and he raised his glass and drank first: "Since it is ordered by the Taishi, how dare I disobey!" This cup is dedicated to the master, I wish the country and the people peace! Isn't it just composing poetry, waiting for me to walk seven and a half steps. With that, he left his seat and drank it all, and slowly walked forward.

This time, even Cai Yan turned his head curiously and watched Long Chen take a step. The good deeds downstairs have already begun to count: "One step, two steps!" …… Seven steps! Half! ”

Chen Long was not in a hurry, hung his left foot in the air, and the last half step never landed, so the golden rooster was independent, staring at Cai Yan's wonderful eyes, and reciting with a desolate voice: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." The prosperity and withering are very different, and the melancholy is difficult to recount. When I heard the horn, my young son died of hunger. Meditating on the unemployed, because of the thought of the far away. Life is often exempt from rent and tax, and the name is not subordinate to the levy. Thinking about Qi Zhongnan, I really want the country to prosper. With that, he stepped out and stood firmly on the ground, exactly seven and a half steps.
