Half a month later, the entire Julu County Sheriff's Mansion was extremely lively. It was not that Liu Bei got married, but that his future father-in-law, Cai Yong, celebrated his birthday. Old man Cai is now fifty-three years old. When Liu Bei knew that his birthday was coming, he made elaborate arrangements for him to celebrate Cai Yong's birthday. All the respectable gentry and rich men in Jizhou gathered here. Even the four generals who guarded the four directions handed over their affairs to their respective lieutenants and rushed over. Inside and outside the county mansion, lanterns were decorated, and there was an atmosphere of joy everywhere. Those who knew it was celebrating Cai Yong's birthday, and those who didn't know thought that someone was getting married. Inside and outside the mansion gate, strings of red lanterns are hung high. In the hall of the mansion, the gilded character "Shou" is close to the height of the two people. It stands behind the main seat. There are low tables lined up on both sides below, with items on them. Various sumptuous dishes and fine wine made according to the brewing method taught by Liu Bei. For this reason, Zhang Fei, after receiving the notice from his elder brother, specially rode his Taxue Wuzui BMW back to Zhuojun. Not only did he bring back some of the wine that his servants had made, but he also brought back the two elderly people at home. Received Jizhou. Liu Bei greatly praised Zhang Fei for this. There were many guests on this day. It stands to reason that Cai Yong¡¯s son or student should be present for the reception, but Cai Yong did not have a son, and his two daughters could not do such a thing in public. However, Cai Yong¡¯s student Gu Yong was After completing his studies, he returned to his hometown of Wu County. It is said that he is now the county magistrate of Hefei County. So Liu Bei had no choice but to stand outside the palace gate at Lu Zhi's suggestion and personally greet these guests who came to celebrate his birthday. At the same time, these guests who came to celebrate the birthday were flattered. Lord Zhou Mu personally greeted them, and they couldn't help but feel curious about the relationship between Liu Bei and Cai Yong. Liu Bei greeted the guests who came to celebrate his birthday at the door, with smiles on his face, and his tired muscles were almost sore. I couldn't help but think in my heart, do we have to welcome you outside the door in person when we get married? At noon, when the guests and hosts were seated, Thunder Dragon was able to rest and sit with Cai Yong, but on the right, because the teacher Lu Zhi's seat was on the left. This ancient man always led with the left side, but Liu Bei didn't care about these clich¨¦s. It would be nice to sit down and rest. Cai Yong was wearing a newly made scribe's gown. He knelt down with a smile and sat under the gilded character "Shou". He picked up the wine bottle and said to the guests present: "Today is my birthday. I would like to thank you all for your busy schedule." He came to wish me a happy birthday and thank Mr. Zhou Mu for his hard work. Come on, let's drink this glass of wine together." As he spoke, Cai Yong raised his glass and gestured to everyone. The princes covered it with their left hands and raised their necks. Drained the wine in the glass. "For this cup, I suggest that we all honor Lord Zhoumu together. Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xuande has personally risked his own arrows and braved the dangers to quell the rebellion. Now the people under his rule are in good health. This is all Xuande's fault." Credit, come, let's raise a toast together to Xuande." What Liu Bei didn't expect was that Old Man Cai actually led the crowd to toast his own wine. Liu Bei hurriedly sat down, picked up the wine bottle and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bei Shen. After the Han Dynasty, we should think about the country of the Han Dynasty, how can we tolerate those thieves who look down on the country of the Han Dynasty? Moreover, this battle depends entirely on your majesty's good planning and the life of the soldiers, so as to achieve a great victory. As for the well-being of the people under your rule. , It all depends on the many civil and military personnel under his tent. Without their help, how could he be like this?" Liu Bei said and raised his wine bottle in the direction of the many civil and military personnel under his tent, and then talked with him. Everyone drank the wine in their glasses together. With so many people guarding him, Liu Bei didn't dare to let go easily. Not only did he praise Emperor Ling's central management, but he also praised the civil and military personnel under his command. It also made the civil and military personnel under his command even more grateful and even sacrificed his life for it. . After three drinks and five dishes, Lu Zhi stroked his beard, picked up the wine glass, and with a smile made a suggestion that the guests present would applaud. "How about I suggest that our birthday girl play the piano for us to wish us a happy drink?" "Okay!" "Okay!" "" All the guests in the audience clapped and applauded, and they were all looking forward to Cai Yong's performance. . Unexpectedly, Cai Yong shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm too drunk. My hands no longer obey my command. I can't play the piano for everyone. Please forgive me." As he said that, Cai Yong also repeatedly handed over his hands, not accompanying him, but he hadn't waited to be seated. The guests sighed and said again: "But the eldest daughter of the old man, Wen Ji, has already gained a good reputation from me, how about having her play the piano for everyone?" "Okay!" "Okay!" Everyone cheered again, and the sound was even louder than before. , which made Liu Bei not only despise these people, but also why he heard that they were caressed by beautiful women.?Everyone became so excited? But Liu Bei forgot that just now he was slapping the table and shouting. There was a sound of the ding ring, and Wenji, still wearing an emerald green dress, walked out with a pair of piano-shaped ones in her arms. However, this time she did not cover her face with a gauze scarf, but appeared directly in front of everyone. "He is indeed a heavenly being!" Liu Bei, who saw Cai Yan's true face in Lushan for the first time, couldn't help but praise. I saw that Miss Cai's eyebrows were so beautiful. Her face was condensed with goose fat, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her expression was like autumn water, she was indescribably soft and delicate, her little nose was slightly upturned, and her jade face was Containing powder, it is beautiful and beautiful, just like pearls and jade, pure and flawless. His arms are wrapped around the body of the piano, and his fingers are so slim and slender that people can't help but want to hold it when they see it. Cai Meimei came to Cai Yong with Qin in her arms. When she passed by Liu Bei's desk, she glanced at Liu Bei. Her expression was shy and delicate, as if she wanted to talk but still wanted to talk, and wanted to love but still hated. She gave in to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's heart trembled as he looked at each other. Liu Bei couldn't help but wonder: "Does she really have a special affection for me? Or is she blaming me for not looking for her these days?" "Greetings to my father, I wish him blessings like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains." Cai Yan in Cai Yong He bent his knees slightly in front of him and said to his father in a sweet voice. Liu Bei, who was on the side, had a panoramic view of Cai Yan's beautiful figure, that figure, that waist, that Liu Bei couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a sip, he was already seven or eight points drunk. Cai Yong smiled and said to Cai Yan: "Wenji might as well play a song for you to wish everyone a happy drink." "Yes." Cai Yan responded in a low voice, then sat down next to Cai Yong and put the The piano was placed on the piano table prepared by the maid. Ten fingers gently brushed the surface of the piano, and the moving sounds of nature suddenly floated up, curling straight up. The sound of the piano was beautiful and sweet, as if it penetrated everyone's souls and went straight to the bottom of their hearts. After listening to the old monk, everyone in the hall felt as if they were in trance. Set there. After the song ended, everyone was still silent in this heavenly sound, unable to return to their senses for a long time. Lu Zhi had rich experience in life and was the first to wake up. Looking at Liu Bei who was still silent in the sound of the piano, he couldn't help but smile. He had already seen that Liu Bei had other thoughts about Miss Cai's family, and he also had the intention to promote it. After hearing this, he couldn't help but ask aloud: "Xuande, how do you feel when you hear this piano body?" "Feelings?" Liu Bei paused when he heard this. If you say this is a lot of feelings, he has never heard it before. Such good music is more beautiful than any concert in later generations. Liu Bei breathed out softly and said: "This song can only be heard in heaven, and how many times can it be heard in the world." Hearing Liu Bei's praise, everyone was stunned, and then applauded one after another. Even Cai Meimei couldn't help but smile. Liang, I never thought that this person with such a talent could actually say such a poem. Liu Bei didn't know that these words came from Du Fu's poem. He just felt that he could only use it to suit the occasion, so he couldn't help but say it. He never expected that it would have such a stunning effect. Lu Zhi was even more relieved. He didn't expect that his student had really improved and could actually say such wonderful sentences. The smile on his face was even bigger, and his smile lines could kill a fly. The same is true for Cai Yong. He is becoming more and more fond of Liu Bei and has the idea of ????recruiting him as his son-in-law immediately. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the daughter beside him. Cai Meimei's beautiful eyes were completely focused on Liu Bei at this time. The emotions in her eyes were quite complicated, including surprise and surprise. She completely forgot that she was a girl who had not yet left the court and was staring at a man. Cai Yong couldn't help but cough slightly, wanting to remind himself of his daughter's gaffe. Lu Zhi was most satisfied with this. He rolled his eyes at Cai Yong, smiled and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande's literary talent is outstanding now. He might as well write a poem to wish our birthday today." Lu Zhi, the old man However, everyone in the art of war, seeing this, did not think about how to further expand the results of the victory, but they impatiently wanted him to write a poem to let him take advantage of the victory to pursue. But Lu Zhi didn¡¯t know that the Liu Bei of today was not the Liu Bei of the past. Instead, he sincerely thought that his student had improved. When Liu Bei heard this, he was dumbfounded. He really thought I was a talented man, but in fact he was just a big radish with a rough heart, just showing up. Looking at the people who were full of expectations, Liu Bei couldn't help but become a little anxious. He was a bad guy. This time he was going to be completely embarrassed. Cai Yong also very much agreed with the suggestion of his old friend Lu Zhi. He wanted to see if Liu Bei's talent could impress his daughter. It was not good for him to be optimistic. After all, he still had to agree with his daughter. This was also the promise he made to his wife before his death. previous agreement. Liu Bei was a little helpless, so he had no choice but to come here. He pointed at Cai Yong on the main seat and said, "This?The old man is not a human being! " As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Even the gentle, delicate and shy Cai Yan couldn't help but feel angry. He was about to get angry, but Liu Bei said again: "Wenquxingjun descends to the mortal world. "Liu Bei is sweating profusely. This limerick from later generations is known to everyone, but it is a bit shocking to people who have not heard it now. "Not only did I almost get confused after finishing the first sentence. The angry people used their eyes to kill him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly! After hearing the second sentence, the eyes of everyone who were about to get angry couldn't help but light up again, and even Cai Meimei burst into laughter. When she came out, she had such a charming smile that Liu Bei's eyes took the opportunity to eat it up. Cai Meimei first covered her mouth with her sleeves and skirt, blocking her smile, then rolled her eyes at Liu Bei and asked, "What else?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. Are you still here? He almost lost control just now, but since you still want to hear it, let me say two more sentences. Anyway, there are still two sentences in this poem. At that moment, Liu Bei straightened his voice and said again: "The daughter born will become a thief. "This time everyone was shocked again, but after seeing the previous example, they were no longer anxious, and instead waited for the next sentence. Cai Yan was slightly annoyed when he heard this, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Bei, saying: "You" How could Liu Bei let Cai The girl cursed and then said with a smile: "I stole the flat peach and offered it to the Supreme Being. " Seeing Cai Meimei smile again, Liu Bei secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: "It's been dealt with! " "good! good! good! "Lu Zhi and Cai Yong couldn't help clasping their hands and laughing. They were very satisfied with Liu Bei's poem. Although it was not a great poem, it was still thrilling. The banquet continued until the afternoon, and they were already drunk. Liu Bei, who was almost there, mustered up his energy and sent everyone away one by one. Finally, he staggered twice and fell in the hall.
