    After Cai Yong said that, he sat down.  There was silence in the field, and the scholars were all bowing their heads in deep thought.  Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, several famous old talents, are also thinking.

    In the picture in Cai Yong¡¯s title, peach blossoms are in full bloom and the mountain scenery is beautiful.  There is also a profound meaning in Cai Yong's title. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the eunuchs in power and had the intention of returning to seclusion.  I want to spend the rest of my life in the beautiful scenery of the mountains.

    Some scholars thought of it and chanted it, but it was mediocre and not outstanding.  Then, Lu Zhi thought of a poem, but the poem only contained the scenery of the mountains and did not contain the artistic conception that Cai Yong wanted to express.  However, it is also a superior work and won a round of applause.

    Later, Wang Yun also thought of a poem, and the artistic conception and scenery were all there, but it lacked a sense of unrestrainedness.  However, this does not mean that Wang Zishi is incompetent. It can only be said that Cai Yong's questions are very difficult to solve.

    Cai Yong also knew that this question was difficult, and said with a smile: "Zi Shi's poem is the closest to what I felt on that day. It can be called a masterpiece. I would like to thank you for this poem."

    "Hey. Mr. Cai Zhonglang, this is too arbitrary. This madman from Wangyue Tower is here and hasn't spoken yet. How can he say that my poem is the closest?"

    Wang Yun said, drawing everyone's attention to Wen Han.  Wenhan was thinking with his eyes closed when he heard Wang Yun talking about him. He opened his eyes and walked out at He Jin's signal.

    "Xiao Sheng does have a poem, but it's just a common text. I don't know if it can meet Cai Zhonglang's intention."

    "Haha. It's extraordinary that you are actually reciting poetry. Most of the people here have meditated on literature for a long time before they became aware of the extraordinary. Even if your poem is slightly deficient, you can understand it. After all, you are still young and have not been around as long as old guys like us.  ¡±

    Cai Yong thought Wenhan was afraid of losing face, so he couldn't help but smile to reassure him.

    Wenhan straightened his expression and started walking lightly.

    "There is a Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and there is a Peach Blossom Fairy under the Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Fairy grows peach trees and picks peach flowers in exchange for wine money.

    When you are sober, you just sit in front of the flowers; when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers; half-awake and half-drunk day after day, the flowers fall and bloom year after year.

    I hope that I will die of old age among the flowers and wine, and do not want to bow before the treacherous officials.

    If you compare treacherous ministers to old ministers, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky; if you compare power and government to chariots and horses, you have to drive and I have nothing to do.

    "Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can't see through it; there are no tombs of heroes in the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers, no wine, and hoeing in the fields.  "

    Wenhan slightly changed some verses, in which the treacherous ministers alluded to eunuchs, and the old ministers alluded to Cai Yong.  The poem says that Cai Yong cleans himself and loves himself, and does not want to collude with the eunuchs. He wants to get drunk in the mountains and forests, steal half a day of leisure, and be free and content.

    Everyone at the table was mesmerized by what he heard, and Cai Yong seemed to have returned to that day. However, the words in Wenhan's poems were more able to stimulate his inner feelings.

    When he heard that he wished that he would die of old age among the flowers and wine, he did not want to bow before the treacherous minister;  Unable to control it for a moment, I burst into tears.

    Once this poem comes out, who can compete with it?  The scholars who originally wanted to write poems all gave up their thoughts.  Lest you bring shame on yourself.

    "This kind of talent and learning cannot be matched by our generation."

    One scholar couldn't help but sigh, his words were also the sentiments of most people at the table.

    "Hahahahaha. I didn't expect that I had spent half my life in a muddle, and now I have found a close friend. I have no regrets in this life."

    Cai Yong walked quickly to Wen Han, crying and laughing.  Wang Yun and Yang Biao also felt deeply. The eunuchs' manipulation of power forced them, a group of Confucian scholars and ministers, to be depressed and frustrated all day long. If it were not for the purpose of being a pilgrim, they would have gone into seclusion long ago.

    "Extraordinary proficiency in musical instruments makes him an elegant scholar. He understands righteousness, has talent and learning, and speaks well. He deserves to be called an 'elegant talent'. I think after today, the name of an elegant talent will spread throughout Luoyang."

    Cai Yong smiled and praised, and even Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song nodded in agreement.  Today, this group of veterans and Confucian scholars seemed to be very happy. Wang Yun also rarely put down his prejudices, and they all sat at He Jin's table together.  He Jin understood that the reason why these veterans and Confucian scholars came here was because they admired Wen Han.  For Wenhan, the weight in his heart is also increasing.

    Later, when the banquet was over, the people at this table were still drinking and having fun.  Cai Yong and Wang Yun sat next to Wen Han and kept chatting with him about some literary insights. It seemed that both of them were interested in getting acquainted with the young man.

    Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Songze competed with He Jin and Cao Cao.  Later, I learned from Cao Cao that Wen Han was not only talented in literature, but he was also good at military strategy and strategy.  This made Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song have a crush on Wen Han and wanted to recruit him.

    However, He Jin seemed to see what they were thinking. He chuckled and told them to give up this idea. This Wen Bufan was He Jin's treasure and he could not allow others to get involved with it

    After that, when everyone was gradually exhausted from drinking, Cai Yong was too old to stay up too late, so he apologized and left.  Before leaving, Cai Yong asked Wen Han to come to Cai's house to discuss some literary insights with the old man, and also asked Wen Han to teach him how to play the erhu.  Wenhan agreed immediately.  As the protagonist left, others also left one after another. Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song also invited Wen Han Duoduo to go to their mansion to have fun and discuss literature.  Wenhan was polite and agreed one by one.

    Cai Yong¡¯s birthday is the second day in the past.  In Luoyang City, word spread about a man named Wen Han from the scholars who attended the banquet that day.  This person was called an "elegant talent" by Cai Yong. He was not only proficient in music and rhythm, but also talented and knowledgeable. He was well-spoken and had excellent poetry.  Even Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song praised him endlessly.  The reputation of elegant and talented people spread almost throughout the entire city of Luoyang. Many people knew that there was a new talented person in Luoyang named Wen Han.  Later, the poems written by Wenhan that day were written down and circulated to each other.  Everyone who sees this poem calls it a masterpiece.

    Wenhan was really flattered. He didn't expect that receiving Cai Yong's recognition would have such a big impact.  But then I think about it, Cai Yong, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song are not giants in the literary world and representatives of Confucian scholars in the world.  There are no saints at present, and in Luoyang these few people are the most popular among Confucian scholars.

    A few days later, one day Cao Cao returned to Cao Mansion.  Wen Hanzheng, Guan Yu and Xu Huang were in the Fuzhong school field, exercising their bodies and competing in martial arts.  Now that Wenhan is famous and attached to He Jin, there is no need to dodge and go in and out of Cao's house openly.

    "Haha, extraordinary. You should be very grateful to Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao can bring good news today."

    Cao Cao entered the mansion, asked his servant where Wen Han was, and then went straight to the school grounds. When he saw Wen Han's figure in the distance, he laughed loudly and said.

    Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang stopped and looked at Cao Cao in confusion.

    When Cao Cao hurried over, his face was filled with joy.

    "Bufan, you have been promoted. General He, I have promoted you to be a military commander, an officer affiliated with the general, you have jumped three levels in a row, and your rank is as high as a thousand stones."

    Wenhan was suddenly shocked and felt incredible.  This He Jin is really generous. Otherwise, if there is no reward, he will be promoted to three ranks and the official position of Thousand Stones with one reward.

    However, one must not forget one¡¯s roots. While Wenhan was happy, he also thought that if it weren¡¯t for the person in front of him, he might still be pretending to be crazy and stupid in Jie County to avoid the eyes of wealthy families.

    Wenhan bowed deeply to Cao Cao, his attitude was sincere and without any pretense.

    "If it weren't for Meng De, how could I be where I am today? Meng De saved my life when he was in Jie County and introduced me to me. I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart and see you in the future.  return."

    Cao Cao didn't expect Wen Han to salute suddenly, and felt uncomfortable all over. He frowned and waved his hand.

    "The two of us have similar personalities, so we call ourselves close friends. My friendship for you comes from my heart, but your politeness makes it false. It makes me very unhappy."

    Xu Huang watched with admiration and praised his extraordinary bearing.  He also secretly thought that if he had not met Wenhan earlier, he would have made a three-year appointment with Wenhan.  Perhaps, Xu Huang could not help but want to join Cao Cao's army.

    Guan Yu also admired it very much, holding his beautiful beard and grinning at Cao Cao.

    Cao Cao shook his head, his face straightened, and he said solemnly.

    "Moreover, Bufan is here today. What Cao gave you was just an opportunity. Bufan grasped it and had the ability to use it to become a blockbuster. This is Bufan's ability. To you, Cao's help is just insignificant.  .

    Cao is convinced, even if we don¡¯t know each other.  Your extraordinary writing will surely one day rise to the top and make the world look at you with admiration, it just depends on how long it takes.  "

    Having said that, if Wenhan says something disgraceful again, it will look artificial.  Then he laughed loudly, pulled Cao Cao, and called Guan Yu and Xu Huang, and went to the Hero Building in Luoyang together.

    Wenhan followed He Jin for half a month. Sometimes He Jin would ask Wenhan to be his thug. Wenhan won more and lost less. When he won, he always got a lot of money, but when he lost, he didn't lose much.  It can be said that Wenhan did it deliberately. He knew that there was a fine line in everything. If he went too far, no one would dare to sit on the same horse table with him in the future.

    He Jinying was very happy and even gave some money to Wenhan, a thug.  Therefore, since the time when the money was distributed to the refugees, Wen Hanyuan himself had no money.  Now that the money is bulging again, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang will be invited to have a drink at the Hero Building from time to time.

    Walking on the road, Wenhan thought of the woman he saw that day and how stunning she was, and couldn't help but ask Cao Cao.

    "By the way, Meng De. That day at Cai Zhonglang's residence, I saw a young woman who was so beautiful that she seemed to be attracted by the glory of Cai's residence  At that time, there was no time to get to know each other, so the woman left.  In the past few days, I was invited by Cai Zhonglang and went to Cai's mansion several times, but he was nowhere to be seen.  You are a student of Cai Zhonglang. I wonder if you know this person.  "

    Cao Cao thought for a while, raised his eyebrows, and replied jokingly.

    "Oh, I didn't expect that extraordinary people would also miss their youth. I have admiration for my teacher's daughter. Hahahaha."

    "The daughter of Cai Zhonglang?"

    After hearing this, Wenhan couldn't help but be startled, and then grabbed Cao Cao's hand in shock: "Could it be that the woman's name is Cai Yan?"

    "Exactly. Oh, Bufan, why are you so excited? It makes Cao's wrist hurt. My teacher's daughter, Cai Yan, is a famous talented girl in Luoyang. She not only learned the music from my teacher, but also plays the piano well, and is also proficient in poetry.  Fu. I just hate that she is a woman and cannot show up to people all the time. I don¡¯t know how many scholars in Luoyang City admire her. "

    After Cao Cao said this, Wen Han felt that he was indeed overreacting.  He quickly let go and heard that Cao Cao didn't seem to care much about Cai Yan's beauty, so he asked curiously.

    "From Meng De's tone, it seems that he is not very interested in Cai Yan. Which woman in Luoyang City do you think can win the favor of Ru Cao Meng De?"
