Chapter 50: Painful Love
In the past few days since Chen Mo returned to Hedong, he spent most of the time with his mother and wife at home. He also knew that the world would be unstable and he might not have much time to spend with them, so he cherished this moment of getting together.
"What are you looking at, husband?" Cai Yan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Chen Mo. Although the two were already husband and wife, but they kept staring like this, she always felt that her husband was thinking about something bad, even though they should see each other and do what they should do.
Even if I haven’t run away, I still feel shy when I think about it.
"My wife has more things than usual." Chen Mo regained his composure. His wife's destiny has been converted into a destiny, the young phoenix destiny. The details are not clear, but since condensing this destiny, Chen Mo found that every time
When I get along with my wife, I feel relaxed easily.
"What?" Cai Yan asked with a smile.
"Wealth and grace are beyond words." Chen Mo thought for a moment. His wife used to be as elegant and refined as a lotus flower, but now Cai Yan's celestial spirit has gradually disappeared, but she has a bit more grace. She is not fat.
, but the feeling it gives people.
"Husband, you are joking." Cai Yan shook her head and laughed, thinking that Chen Mo was making her happy.
Chen Mo didn't say much. The fate thing was a bit confusing. He had been studying it, but he still couldn't get an accurate explanation.
"I have composed a piece of music based on my husband's past debates in the past few days. It can be played on the piano or used as drum music to boost morale. Husband, would you like to listen to it?" Cai Yan saw that Chen Mo was silent, so he brought a bamboo slip and wrote to
Chen Mo said.
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded. Chen Mo admired his wife's accomplishments in piano art. Although he did not learn piano, it did not mean that he had no appreciation of music. On the contrary, Chen Mo's accomplishments in the appreciation of music were not low.
, also like to listen.
Cai Yan asked Juan'er to bring the piano, sit upright, adjust the strings, and start playing the piano.
Different from the melodious and melodious sound of the piano in the past, this time, Cai Yan's piano music had a hint of murderous intent. The sun was setting and the battlefield was in a mess. For a moment, Chen Mo felt like he had returned to the battlefield.
As the music of the piano suddenly became louder, the two armies fought fiercely, but in the end, both sides suffered losses.
Chen Mo's polemic is not actually about explaining how powerful he is on the battlefield, but an article describing the tragedy of the war and the lives of the people outside this tragic battlefield. He hopes that this article will let people know the tragedy of the war, so as to avoid it as much as possible.
War, some people have compiled it into a song, but it is mostly an impassioned feeling and cannot express what Chen Mo really wants to express.
But today, Cai Yan did it.
After closing his eyes and listening to the music quietly, Chen Mo opened his eyes for a long time, looked at his wife and said, "I thought no one could understand it."
"The lofty artistic conception of Husband really needs to be read carefully." Cai Yan said with a smile: "On top of the poems, they are more about lingering friendship or sadness for spring and autumn. Although Husband's poems are excellent, but
It is difficult for people to sing it, but my husband’s original intention when he wrote this poem is very admirable. It was only after reading it for many days that I finally understood what my husband was thinking.”
"I'm afraid no one in this world is willing to understand me!" Chen Mo sat next to Cai Yan and sighed.
Cai Yan was afraid that Chen Mo would be too depressed, so he smiled and said: "Since my husband became famous, this is the only poem he has written. Why not write a few more?"
"Madam, what do you want?" Chen Mo looked at his wife and asked with a smile.
"My husband is a great talent in this world. I don't know how many people in the world want to read your poems." Cai Yan nodded and smiled.
"Well, my husband doesn't really like to do this, but since my wife wants it, I will write a poem for her. Don't people like romance? Today, I will write a poem about the pain of love for my husband."
"Bitter love?" Cai Yan asked curiously.
Chen Mo closed his eyes and after recalling for a moment, Juan'er had already prepared the bamboo slips with pen and ink for Chen Mo.
What the world longs for is mostly the joy of love, but few people write about the pain of love. Unfortunately, most of life is spent in pain rather than joy. This article about love is Chen Mo's summary of his love for this half of his life.
From the warmth of mother and son relying on each other when they were young, to the later friendship between fellow villagers, and then to the separation of life and death due to war and the separation of mother and son for the purpose of studying, in general, what Chen Mo wrote in the previous chapter was basically the pain of separation, nothing too gorgeous.
The rhetoric makes people feel the same way.
The middle part begins to tell some about the joy of making new friends, and then the beauty of love between men and women, which makes people feel warm in their hearts. However, in the second part, it is about parting again. Best friends are separated due to their own ideas, and lovers are reunited due to official business.
The pain of having less and being separated from more.
It is a piece of love and suffering, written in more than three hundred words, but it tells the story of the pain of parting in the world. It is not limited to husband and wife, but also mother and son, master and apprentice, brothers, and the feeling when friends leave, all of which make people feel unspeakable.
A feeling of melancholy.
Cai Yan watched Chen Mo finish writing, but when he finished writing the last word, his eyes turned red at some point. Yun Si beside him was also the same, only Juan'er looked at the two sisters in confusion, she didn't quite understand.
"Husband~" Cai Yan suddenly felt a little reluctant. She didn't know where this emotion came from, but at this moment she just wanted to shrink into her husband's arms. She said angrily: "The poems written by my husband always make people feel so depressed."
anger."
"The world only knows the good things, but they don't know that the suffering is the majority." Chen Mo hugged his wife, pulled Yun Si over, looked at the sky, and sighed: "With this article, I will cherish the time we get together. It's a pity.
, I have limited experience as a husband, and I only have the deepest feelings about the pain of separation, but I don’t know how to compose it into a song?"
Cai Yan wiped her tears, thought for a while, and asked Juan'er to help take away the pen and ink, and put it on the piano again. After thinking for a moment, the strings trembled at her fingertips, and the sweet notes flowed in the courtyard. Her experience of war
Not much, so it took a long time to understand what Chen Mo wanted to express in that polemic. However, this piece of love is more or less resonant, and it was easier to compose it into a song.
Chen Mo held Juan'er in his arms and listened quietly to the sweet notes gradually converging into a sweet melody. His wife had never disappointed anyone in terms of melody.
Time passes quietly like this fingertip note.
After Chen Mo returned from the clouds, life began to become leisurely. The Black Mountain Army sent Yu Du to discuss cooperation with Chen Mo. The two sides exchanged information. At the same time, the Black Mountain Army also gave Chen Mo some information.
There are many problems with the integration of the two ethnic groups in Yunzhong. Gao Shun is good at running the army, but he is relatively weak in governance. He is not good at this kind of conflict between the two ethnic groups. In September, Chen Mo sent Guo Yao to Yunzhong to take over.
Gao Shun was not recalled from the post of governor of Yunzhong, but was appointed as a captain to protect the Huns and stationed troops in Yunzhong to intimidate the Hu people.
Chang'an had the most intelligence, but it was also the most useless. Dong Zhuo became more and more violent, killing people at every turn. Scholars all over the world scolded him, but Chen Mo knew clearly that Dong Zhuo was driven crazy by the scholars. He was already over six years old.
Xun, is now in charge of the court, but just like the original general He Jin, he tried his best to win over the scholars, but in the end he only got schemes and traps. However, Dong Zhuo was not He Jin. After realizing this,
Dong Zhuo sacrificed his butcher's knife without hesitation and killed the noble gentry Guan Long to the point where he was heartbroken and felt much more at ease.
Chen Mo knew that this peace of mind was only temporary. The harder Dong Zhuo killed, the heavier the revenge would be. Dong Zhuo was already old and no longer had much energy to fight with the scholars. From now on, Dong Zhuo would easily
It can be seen from the killing of people in the whole family that others only think that Dong Zhuo has a cruel temperament, but in Chen Mo's opinion, Dong Zhuo is afraid.
He can be considered a generational hero, but in the end he was forced to look like this.
The development of Hedong was in an orderly manner. Dalang captured Lishi in early September, and the siege lasted for three months. Although it seemed that both sides were attacking and defending each other, Chen Mo could see that Dalang had been making progress during this period.
In the beginning, Dalang was almost the same as Han Siam in commanding troops, but as time went by, Dalang made rapid progress. In March, from being evenly matched at the beginning, now he is almost chasing Han Siam.
However, what Chen Mo valued most was Dalang's stability. No matter how Han Xian was defeated, Dalang would not chase after Han Xian. Instead, he would continue to take over the city and strengthen the defense. After ensuring that the newly acquired territory was worry-free,
Only then will he attack again.
Although he missed many opportunities, he forced Han Xian into despair step by step, and now he even lost Li Shi.
Even so far, Dalang had actually won this battle. Han Xian had already crossed the river with his remaining troops and escaped from Xihe County, which was no longer under Chen Mo's jurisdiction.
But the biggest thing in the past few months is not these. It is that Chen Mo became famous again. Cai Yan showed Chen Mo's love story to Cai Yong. Cai Yong knew that his son-in-law rarely wrote poems. In fact, Chen Mo's poem
Poems, in the eyes of people like Cai Yong who have experienced ups and downs, have not yet perfectly expressed the pain of love, but even so, this poem is definitely a good work, and the style is similar to Chen Mo's previous polemics, and it is a different approach.
.
With such an outstanding son-in-law, Cai Yong naturally wanted to let his friends know about it. Old friends such as Lu Zhi in Youzhou and Zheng Xuan in Qingzhou were all given a copy by Cai Yong for them to taste.
Be it Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, or Zheng Xuan, they were all great Confucian scholars of the time, and Chen Mo's "Love Bitterness" is indeed a rare masterpiece, and it can easily arouse people's resonance. Under the influence of these three people, "Love Bitterness" will be written.
In these few months, it spread throughout the world and was highly praised by countless scholars.
Dongjun, Prefect's Mansion.
Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips, looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "How is my good brother's literary talent?"
"Excellent work." Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "But with such literary talent, why have only two poems been published so far?"
"He doesn't like this." Cao Cao sighed: "Bitter love... When you say that his old friend got together and parted, are you talking about me?"
"Maybe." Xi Zhicai rarely saw Cao Cao like this, so he couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Definitely is!"
