The first general of the Three Kingdoms

chapter 40

Since the Han Dynasty, the status of scholars has gradually improved.

However, after Dong Zhongshu's "removal of hundreds of schools, and only respecting Confucianism", the status of scholars is even higher, and the various aristocratic families have gradually learned from literature, literature and art.

Under such circumstances, how can a large family be considered a large family?
The only thing to do is to see if the aristocratic family can pass on the scholarly fragrance to the family.

In terms of wealth, Chen Liuwei's family is not as inferior as that of Hedong Wei's family, and even better under Wei Hong's management, but when it comes to family heirs of poems and books, they are not as good.

In this way, in the eyes of the world, although the Chen Liuwei family is not weak, it is actually far inferior to the Hedong Wei family.

But it's not as good as returning home, so blatantly sweeping the face of Chen Liuwei's family, no matter what, it is impossible for the Wei family to tolerate it.

"Wei Zhongdao, you are going too far!"

Wei Hong was so angry that his hands trembled faintly. If it wasn't for the kinship relationship, Wei Hong might have slapped him in the face.

"Wei Zhongdao, who do you think I am, Cai Yong? An ungrateful person who doesn't keep his word?"

At the same time, Cai Yong also had a stern look on his face.

You must know that Cai Yong is actually a very loyal person.

According to history, when Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he forcibly recruited Cai Yong in order to win the hearts of the nobles all over the world.

Ordinarily, Cai Yong didn't have to be grateful for being so uneasy, but Cai Yong still cried for Dong Zhuo after the incident, in order to repay Dong Zhuo's kindness, so that he died.

In the old days when Cai Yong was down and down, Wei Hong still treated him as an equal without saying a word. Over the past few years, the Wei family treated Cai Yan as if they were their own, and this kindness was always remembered by Cai Yong.

Even Cai Yan looked at Wei Zhongdao angrily.

Although Cai Yan is young, she knows a lot. In her opinion, Wei Zhongdao is insulting herself, and even seems to want to rob her.

Cai Yan knew that she had a husband since she was a child, and she kept it in her heart. Now that her husband is still in court, this person is such a wicked person, how can he not be hateful?

If it weren't for the fact that everyone in this hall is considered a man of insight, I'm afraid Wei Zhongdao would have been beheaded and killed in the hall at this time.

Even so, Wei Zhongdao couldn't help trembling under the heavy scolding.

"This... I..."

After all, Wei Zhongdao is a frail scholar who stays at home. Maybe he is good at reciting poems and singing, but his courage is far behind.

But Wei Tao was still very annoyed, he didn't have much interest in knowing the history, he only knew that Wei Zhongdao wanted to snatch his fiancée, it was really hateful!

"call!"

Wei Tao got up together and strode out. Although the two were similar in age and height, when Wei Tao walked in front of Wei Zhongdao, it made people feel that Wei Tao was tall and Wei Zhongdao was small.

In front of Wei Tao, Wei Zhongdao seemed not worth mentioning at all.

The so-called aura is nothing more than a fusion of a person's appearance, temperament, manners, and so on.

Now it's just a comparison, the two of them are competing with each other, and it even makes people feel this way: why does Wei Zhongdao dare to make such wild words?

"You say I'm not good enough for Yan'er?"

Yan'er is Cai Yan's nickname, and only a few such as Cai Yong and Wei Mu can call him that. Hearing Wei Tao's yell suddenly, all the anger in Cai Yan's heart dissipated, leaving only A look of shame and annoyance.

Who allowed you to call someone like that?

What a shame!

"How am I not worthy?"

Wei Tao didn't know that Cai Yan was both ashamed and happy for himself at this moment, and he just stared at Wei Zhongdao coldly.

"You are a martial artist, you can only wield knives and sticks, and you have no knowledge at all. How can you be worthy of Miss Cai Yan?"

Although Wei Zhongdao was timid, but when he heard Wei Tao's words, he did not know where a burst of courage surged up, and he said it without showing any weakness.

It seems that Wei Zhongdao is obviously a bit infatuated.

But Wei Tao is even more disgusted at this time, this kid dares to do so.

"The ancient melody in the qin is Orchid. I'll show you how to be attentive. If you want to have peace of mind and body, playing it yourself is not as good as listening to others."

Wei Tao was not at all like that, and he came out with a seven-character quatrain.

"ah!"

Cai Yan yelled softly, blushing even more, but the eyes that looked at Wei Tao were more gentle and admiring.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no seven-character quatrains, and the poems were not popular, but it is not unacceptable, nor is it unacceptable.

Just like Cao Zhi's seven-step poem in history, "Cooking beans burns Osmunda, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They grow from the same root. Why is it too urgent to fry them?" 'In general, it can also be passed on to future generations.

What's more, for people of talent and insight, the appreciation of beauty is shared by them. Now that Wei Tao's four sentences have come down, Cai Yong and others have a refreshing feeling.

"This kid!"

Cai Yong's face revealed a look of satisfaction, his son-in-law is half a son, and as a great writer, Cai Yong naturally hoped that Wei Tao would be talented.

"you you……"

But Wei Zhongdao looked at Wei Tao and was speechless for a while.

"It's a clear night in the bamboo courtyard, when the pine window is not lying down. We share the piano as my wife, and there is autumn with the moon. The jade Zhen faces the wind for a long time, and the golden wave is late in the fog. The quiet sound waits for the clear scenery, but I know it."

At this moment, Wei Tao took three steps forward, and came slowly again. Hearing this poem, Wei Zhongdao's complexion became even paler, and his whole body couldn't help but retreat again and again.

"A light rain sprinkles the garden, and the new sunshine is easy to find. The low wind washes the surface of the pool, and the slanting sun breaks down the heart of the flower. The dark helps the haze to be heavy, and the spring adds to the deep color of the water. It's not as easy as Tao, still holding a stringed harp."

But Wei Tao didn't have the slightest intention to let the other party go, he took three steps forward and then approached Wei Zhongdao, and chanted again.

In fact, in the past and present, Wei Tao was not a person who liked to play with words and ink, but he was widely known for his extensive Tang poetry in later generations.

Besides Li Bai and Du Fu, Wei Tao still liked Bai Juyi, but it was difficult to write down Bai Juyi's poems one by one.

In fact, as long as you study carefully, you can know how much water there is in Wei Tao's poems.

That's all for the first song, it's still suitable for the scene, but the second and third chants here simply don't have such a scene, at most it should be a word for 'qin'.

More importantly, it is still the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms era has not even arrived. At this time, Wei Tao came to "Tao Shengshi", so that everyone in the hall can learn about Tao Yuanming's allusions?
But it's a little ignorant.

But Wei Tao's purpose is to show off his talent. I have this talent, and I can make a poem in three steps. Isn't this kind of talent and learning not suitable for Cai Yan?
"You...I...you...I...poof!"

Wei Zhongdao wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He pointed at "you, me, me" but couldn't say it. Stuck in the heart, finally couldn't bear it anymore, just opened my mouth and spurted out a mouthful of painstaking effort!

Blood is the foundation of human beings, and the blood in the heart is the source of longevity.

Wei Zhongdao's body was originally weak, and he was a little weaker than ordinary people. Suddenly he lost his heart, and suddenly his whole body felt dizzy. When his eyes went dark, he immediately fell to the ground.

"Zhongdao! Zhongdao!"

Naturally, Wei Zhongdao didn't come alone, but before Wei Zhongdao suppressed Chen Liuwei's family so much that he even wanted to take away Wei Tao's fiancée.

What's more, those people also have such thoughts in their hearts: Chen Liuwei's family doesn't have any heirlooms of poems and books, it would be great if they can teach them a lesson like this, otherwise, how could Chen Liuwei's family accept me as the Hedong Wei family?
But they didn't expect it, but in just a moment, Wei Tao made three poems in a row, and immediately reversed all the situations, even Wei Zhongdao was so angry that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Wei Zhongdao is the eldest son of the Hedong Wei family, and his status is the same as that of Wei Tao in Chen Liuwei's family.

And because Wei Zhongdao has been studying literature since he was a child, and his ability in Confucianism is not low, so the Hedong Wei family even vaguely regards him as the source of the Wei family's prosperity, so they naturally pay more attention to him.

Now Wei Zhongdao fainted suddenly, and everyone in the hall suddenly panicked.

Even though they were still annoyed by Wei Zhongdao's nonsense, Wei Hong and Cai Yong didn't care too much at this time, and immediately called for help.

Wei Tao curled his lips in disdain, and stepped aside quietly.

Such a person simply cannot survive in this era, and now Wei Tao no longer bothers to compete with him.

But at this moment, Wei Tao felt an eager gaze falling on him. Looking back, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile slightly. The owner of this gaze was Cai Yan.

Seeing Wei Tao smiling at her, Cai Yan immediately blushed. Seven or eight-year-old girl, but intelligent and early blooming, like a passionate girl, can't bear such embarrassment.

Wei Tao smiled, but he loved this beautiful girl Cai Yan a little more.

But after everyone was settled, Wei Tao was still called by Wei Hong and Cai Yong, and asked him how to compose these poems, and what were some meanings and allusions in them.

Wei Tao really had no way to answer, he could only vaguely pass.

Even so, Wei Tao felt troubled, Wei Hong and Cai Yong were really hard to fool around, especially when one of them was his father and the other was his father-in-law.

Fortunately, the mother soon freed herself.

But soon Wei Tao found that he had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. Although his mother's nagging made Wei Tao feel the long-lost love, it made him even more difficult to resist.

His mother even mentioned when she and Cai Yan would officially marry, which really made Wei Tao feel speechless.

Wanting to go home when not at home, and wanting to leave home even more after returning home, Wei Tao really didn't know how to express his feelings.

But fortunately, these are just trivial matters, and they can't affect Wei Tao. As for Wei Zhongdao, he was taken away by the people of Hedong Wei's family.

Now Wei Tao is even more worried about the Yellow Turban.
