It is different from the noise and hustle and bustle of Pingyang City, and it is even different from the Academy. In Cai Yong's backyard, I am afraid that I have learned the true meaning of the word tranquility.
There were originally some trees in the courtyard, but obviously some were transplanted later and planted high and low around the pavilion. It was the time when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. The branches were green and the peach blossoms were red. It was the right time. It's a good time of year.
In the small pavilion in the forest, Cai Yan was playing the piano, and his voice was like an elf, jumping and floating gently on the branches of the forest, and then jumped from the forest to Fei Qian's head and shoulders. Go up, holding the corners of clothes and shaking, laughing happily, and then go away into the distance again...
The peach blossoms in the forest are scattered with fragrant red, and they are flying slightly with the sound of music. A layer of petals fell on the steps of the small pavilion, as if dyeing the black steps with a layer of pink luster. A few bees and butterflies It was flying up and down among the branches, leaves and flowers, and it was as if they were dancing to the sound of music.
The sound of the piano is clear and the singing is clear and serene. Although it does not have the multi-channel and multi-soundtrack model of later generations, it is clear and transparent, just like a mountain stream winding through the forest, tinkling and tinkling, and anyone who hears it can't hear it. You will feel irritable, and you will feel relaxed instantly.
Fei Qian couldn't help but stop and listen quietly. Several peach blossom petals fell from the air and landed on Fei Qian's robe...
The song ends, and the lingering sound lingers.
Cai Yan in the pavilion slowly raised his head, stood up, bowed, smiled slightly, and said, "You're back?"
"Well, I'm back." Fei Qian bowed his hands.
Cai Yan turned the catkins over slightly and motioned for Fei to sneak into the pavilion and sit down.
As he got closer, Fei Qian noticed that Cai Yan seemed to be slightly plumper than when he was in Chang'an. Because the weather was still relatively cold, Cai Yan wore a red fur coat, which looked like cream on his cheeks. , reflecting the rosy color that represents health like peach blossoms.
"Fetch the tea set according to the book..." Cai Yan turned to face the outside of the pavilion and said.
A little maid immediately responded from behind the pavilion, and then she carried a small red clay stove to one side of the pavilion with a thick Gebu cushion, and then trotted on and sat a copper cauldron on it. On the red clay stove, he then went to get tea cups, tea bowls and other things. Just as he was about to kneel on the table to make tea, Cai Yan stopped him.
"By the way, there are two volumes of letters on the left side of the desk in the study. Go and get them..." Cai Yan said calmly to the little maid.
The little maid hesitated for a moment before accepting the book and said, "Oh... then this tea soup..."
Cai Yan reached out and took the water spoon from the little maid's hand and said, "What's the problem? I'll do it."
"Oh..." The little maid looked at the closed copper cauldron and estimated that the water in it might not boil so quickly, so she agreed and went to the study to get the book.
Fei Qian watched Cai Yan put down the water spoon, then opened the tea bowl and took out a piece of tea cake. He couldn't help but said with some fear: "This... how dare you bother senior sister to make tea..."
Cai Yan glanced over with a pair of wonderful eyes and said: "Why, you can't drink the tea I made? What do you like to add?"
"...Uh, green salt will do... How about I make the tea..." Seeing Cai Yan's behavior, Fei Qian stopped being polite and took the ladle and pestle for tea, and then took it back.
Cai Yan handed over small pieces of tea cake that had been lightly baked on the fire, put them into a stone ladle, and ground them gently.
"How's Yinshan? It's really straight and curved, Guanghenan?" Cai Yan clamped a small piece of silver charcoal with a carbon hammer and put it into the small stove, and then looked at the water gradually filling the copper cauldron on the stove.
, asked as he asked.
"Well, the pasture is rich and it's really a good place to raise horses..." Fei Qian didn't raise his head, first pounded the tea cake into smaller pieces, and then ground the pieces into powder. Of course,
The finer the grinding, the better.
"..." Cai Yan glanced at Fei Qian, who was lowering his head to make tea, and then opened his red lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
The little maid who went to the study to get the slips took the book, held the slips in her arms, and trotted back. Before she could catch her breath, she hurriedly took over all the work of making tea...
Cai Yan first handed one of the scrolls to Fei Qian and motioned for Fei Qian to take a look.
Fei Qian unfolded it and saw that the beginning of one of the volumes was: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars are arranged. The day is white and the night is dark, the sun is bright and the moon is shining, the wind is blowing, the snow is dancing, and the lightning is thundering."
The rising clouds bring rain, the dew condenses on the morning frost, the rainbow glows, the fog settles and the hail falls. Spring is born and summer grows, autumn is harvested and winter is stored, the weather is in season, cold comes and summer goes..."
The handwriting is dignified and beautiful, compact but with a kind of grandeur. It was written by Cai Yan himself.
"This is..." Fei Qian raised his head and glanced at Cai Yan in surprise. Fei Qian and Cai Yan only mentioned it once last time. They didn't expect that the draft would be completed so quickly, and basically all the text in it would be complete.
It is some natural phenomena that are often seen in daily life or basic common sense. It is indeed an article that is very suitable for elementary education.
"How about it, can you look into your junior brother's eyes?" Cai Yan raised his chin slightly, revealing a small section of his delicate and white neck.
Fei Qian quickly raised his hands and said: "Senior sister, you are a great talent! Such a wonderful chapter should be passed down from its origin. The merits of Cai's Meng Xue chapter are immeasurable!"
"Junior brother, that's fine if you like it..." Cai Yan waved his hand slightly to show that he didn't care. I originally wrote this because Fei Qian mentioned that when Fei Qian was happy, Cai Yan also smiled. As for anything else
Cai Yan didn't care much about the additional things.
Looking at the other volume of letters in his hand, Cai Yan's smile gradually faded, and he hesitated for a moment, but still handed the other volume of letters to Fei Qian.
When Fei Qian took it over, he thought it was another article written by Cai Yan, but when he opened it up, he found that the content was actually "The Biography of General Wei's Hussars" written by Tai Shigong...
Cai Yan gave me this, what does it mean?
"On the 17th, he made two expeditions to Dingxiang and gained the most merit in the entire army; on the 19th, he made three expeditions to Hexi and expanded the territory; on the 21st, he commanded the three armies and marched across Mobei..." Cai Yan stared at Fei Qian with a pair of wonderful eyes.
, said softly, "...But after two years...Junior brother, if you have time, you should read this article carefully..."
Cai Yan shook his head slightly, and the steps on his head moved a few times. Apparently he didn't want to elaborate on this topic right away: "Ah, the tea is ready... let's use this tea to congratulate our junior brother for his success in recovering Yinshan..."
Seeing that Cai Yan was unwilling to talk at this time, although Fei Qian had guessed something, he could only put it down for the time being, hold up the tea bowl with Cai Yan, and slowly sip the tea soup.
The spring breeze gently pulled a few peach blossoms, played with them a few times, then threw the peach blossom petals down, and went to look for other things in the distance, so the few peach blossom petals floated diagonally into the pavilion and fell.
Between Fei Qian and Cai Yan's mat.
After sitting for a while, Fei Qian said goodbye to Cai Yan. He had just walked out of the forest with two volumes of letters in his arms when he heard the sound of the piano playing again behind him, and then Cai Yan's graceful voice sounded softly:
"...I am at my disposal for my chariot, my chariot, and my oxen. When I have gathered my strength, I will return home."
I am a disciple, I guide, I am a teacher, I travel. When I travel, I gather, and I return to my destination.
He solemnly thanked him for his merits, and summoned him to camp. He marched fiercely, and summoned him to succeed.
The original sun is flat, the spring is clear. The call to the uncle is successful, and the king's heart is at peace..."
Fei Qian couldn't help but pause for a moment, and suddenly felt that the letter in his arms seemed even heavier...
