Lu Dynasty

Chapter 95 (2)
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Cao was surprised and said: "No, I am friends with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Although these two people are a bit dandy and have the arrogance of the children of aristocratic families, they still have a good vision!"

Zhao Yun said: "It is the saddest thing to follow such a master who knows his talent but cannot use him. Call him a mediocre master, he is very smart, call him smart, but sometimes he is as stupid as a pig! There is a saying in the art of war: The Lord must not be angry! But because of a small grievance in his heart, Yuan Shu disregarded the overall situation and became an enemy of my elder brother. Isn’t that stupid or what? Ji Ling didn’t even know who was in this restaurant, so he dared to come Making trouble, isn’t this stupid? Sun Tzu said: Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles! But if you act recklessly without knowing the enemy’s situation, how can you be invincible?” Zhao Yun said about the art of war on the left and his grandson on the right, and Cao was taken aback by what he said I was taken aback.

Cao said with emotion: "Ba Xian is a great talent, and even Ba Xian's righteous brother can speak well and quote scriptures. The ancients said: Things flock together, people are divided into groups, sincerity does not deceive me!"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "What am I? My elder brother, second elder brother, and third elder brother are all talented, so let's say my third elder brother Yide..." Zhao Yun stood up, took off a picture of a lady from the wall, and handed it to Cao Wen He said: "Brother Meng De, how about this painting?" Zhang Fei's painting has already been mounted, and the portraits of Cai Yan and Gao Rui have been put away by me.Other paintings are hung in various private rooms in the restaurant, and in our special private room, Zhang Fei even painted a few with care and hung them inside.

Cao took the portrait and observed it carefully.After looking at it for a while, he said: "The style of this painting is clear. The maid in the painting is lifelike, with a light and graceful figure. I wonder which famous artist it is from?" Zhao Yun pointed to the inscription on the painting.Cao followed Zhao Yun's finger and read: "Zhang Fei Zhang Yide of Zhuo County? Who is this famous? Why haven't I heard of it?" After Cao finished speaking, he looked at Brother Xiahou, who also shook his head.

Suddenly, Xia Houdun seemed to think of something, and said, "Zhang Fei Zhang Yide of Zhuojun, isn't he the one who beat Ji Ling into a pig's head?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Exactly! Yide's bravery is like finding the head of a general among thousands of armies! Yide's literary talent can be said to be well-read, no less than those of those from aristocratic families. The only shortcoming is that he is a little reckless!"

Cao felt emotional in his heart, he thought I was just a lucky businessman, and I don't know why I was valued by Cai Yong's daughter.But I didn't expect that I actually have such a strong strength.Now, Cao felt a little lost.

Looking at the lost Cao, I smiled and said, "Meng De, I know you like my Yan'er very much, so how about I ask Yan'er to come out and present a song?"

Cao laughed and said, "That's a good relationship! Master Cai's piano skills are unparalleled in the world. I was fortunate enough to be able to accompany Yuan Taifu to listen to Master Cai's piano. Today, I can let Master Cai play the piano for me. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

I said with a smile: "Meng De's words are serious, Yan'er, come out and play a song for Brother Meng De, okay?"

Hearing behind the screen, Cai Yan replied: "Your husband has a life, so how dare I refuse to obey! Mengde is not to be blamed, Zhao Ji is now a woman, in order to avoid criticism from others, I can only play a song behind this screen to thank Mengde. Love!"

Cao was depressed, and Cai Yan heard what we said just now.However, Cao's face is so thick, so I heard Cao say: "Your brother and sister are welcome, I am lucky to be able to appreciate the piano skills of my brother and sister, I am lucky, how can I have other extravagant hopes!"

As soon as Cao finished speaking, he heard the sound of a piano coming from behind the screen, and the mountains and rivers came slowly.Suddenly, the wind of the piano turned, and the iron horse soldiers stepped out of the snow. The sound of the piano was high-pitched, and then stopped abruptly. A few slow sounds of the piano brought peace.Everyone was immersed in Cai Yan's wonderful piano skills, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.After a while, Cao Cai came back to his senses and said, "Master Cai's piano skills have improved again, and he is even more proficient than last time!"

Cai Yan said: "Meng Demiao praises, in fact, this piece was played by my husband when he was in Jiuyuan, and I omitted the part of Fengqiuhuang in it! But there is another part at the end, but I can't play it. That impassioned enthusiasm for serving the country, so I didn't play it!"

"Oh!" Cao glanced at me and asked, "Baxian is also a master of the piano? Can you show me your hand?"

I smiled and said, "Meng De, let's forget about it today! I have already drank so much wine, and Xiao Yan'er is here, how can you embarrass me? When the time comes, you and I will go hunting, and we will go hunting. How about taking the piano and playing a song for Meng De?"

Cao said, "Brother Ba Xian is serious?"

"What? Have I ever broken my promise to Meng De?" I asked back.

"No! No!" Cao laughed and said, "It's just that most people don't want to do such an actor's job!"

"Why?" I asked, "I take Mengde as a friend. Could it be that if I play a piece for a friend, my friend will regard me as an actor? Then I, Lu Feng, am not blind! That Ziqi Boya, Can it still be famous through the ages?"

Cao laughed and said, "Baxian's words are very kind!"

"Yan'er come out, I have something to say!" I said to the back of the screen.

Cai Yan immediately came out after hearing what I said, saluted Cao gracefully and sat beside me.I said: "Yan'er, pour a glass of wine for Brother Meng De!" Cai Yan stepped forward, picked up the wine glass, filled Cao's glass and said, "Meng De, please use!"

Cao hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, brother and sister!" Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan didn't look down on women like Zhang Fei later, and Cai Yan's status was much more noble than Diao Chan.Not to mention that Cai Yan is Cai Yong's daughter, even if she is only my first wife, if she can pour wine for him, it is because I think highly of him Cao, you must know that I still have the title of Marquis of Guannei on my body now!
I pretended to be drunk and said: "Yan'er, Meng De! Today I said in front of Zilong, Yuanrang, and Miaocai that if one day I, Lu Feng, die in battle, then Yan'er, you can go and join Brother Mengde Brother Mengde! When the time comes, you have to take good care of Yan'er! Even if you marry her back as a concubine, you must make her happy!"

Cao also drank a lot of that high-grade wine. Hearing what I said, Cao replied with enthusiasm: "Baxian, no one knows what will happen in the future, but you say that, you think highly of me, Cao Mengde. If one day, you are here I will die on the battlefield first, and I will take care of my family for you. If I, Cao, die one step ahead of you, my family will be entrusted to you. Even if one day we face each other on the battlefield and die at the hands of each other, we must take good care of each other. Taking care of the other party's family, I don't know what Baxian thinks?"

"Good! Good!" I laughed and said, "Meng De is really a hero!" The Xiahou brothers and Zhao Yun who were next to me saw Cao and I talking like this, and thought we were drunk, so Xiahou brothers took Cao to leave!
