Chapter 115, I ignored Cai Jing for a long time, and the father and son turned against each other and met by chance
The wind blew, and Cai Jing had a cold war, feeling a little frightened. In a flash, Cai Jing shouted happily: "Thank you, brother Xian, for your clear explanation, brother Yu has found a stepping stone to enter the palace to meet the saint!"
Cai Jing remembered that twenty years ago, when he was demoted to Hangzhou, he heard that the Zhao family, who had just ascended the throne, sent the eunuch Tong Guan as an enshrinement official and came to the land of Sanwu to look for famous calligraphy and painting, and all kinds of ingenious things... p>
Haha... At that time, I had the foresight to make friends with the official boy Guan and accompany him to play day and night...
When the enshrining official Tong Guan sent the screens and calligraphy I painted to the palace, the Zhao family liked my calligraphy very much and felt that I was a talent. They began to observe me carefully and prepared to reuse me.
In the first year of Chongning, because Tong Guan often spoke kind words in front of Zhao Guan's family, I was promoted to a famous magistrate, and became a bachelor...
At that time, Han Zhongyan was dismissed as Prime Minister, and I was promoted to Minister Zuocheng.
Soon after, in February of the second year of Chongning, I replaced Zeng Bu as the right servant. On the day when the edict was handed down, the young Zhao Guan family summoned me in the Yanhe Hall and gave me a seat. The king and his ministers sat down to discuss the affairs of the country.
What an honor...
Looking back at this point, Cai Jing decided to go back to the old path to impress Mr. Zhao Guan's calligraphy and loyalty.
Cai Jing ordered his maids to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
He put a pen on the rice paper and wrote the four characters "Yao Tian and Shun Day".
Yao and Shun were two virtuous kings in ancient legends.
The four characters "Yao, Tian, and Shun" written by Cai Jing were prepared to be donated to Zhao Guan's family. They were used to praise the virtues of Zhao Guan's family and describe the world's peace and prosperity...
However, the great calligrapher Cai Jing looked at the calligraphy he had just written and was very dissatisfied. Perhaps because of his inner uneasiness, the words he wrote were not half as good as his usual calligraphy skills.
"Hmph! Mo Yan is so bad!" Cai Jing said angrily.
He had nowhere to attack, and he couldn't admit that it was his inner uneasiness that caused his poor handwriting, so he could only scold the maid.
With a "plop", the beautiful little maid was so frightened that she knelt down in front of Master Cai, shedding tears and begging for mercy again and again...
Cai Jing ignored the good-looking maid at all. He grabbed the rice paper with "Yao Tian and Shun Day" written on it on the desk, angrily tore it into pieces with his hands, and threw it to the ground.
This move frightened the little maid in the study. She kowtowed repeatedly and said that she didn't grind the ink well and it was her fault for making the grand master angry...
Cai Jing waved his long sleeves and said angrily: "Get up and prepare new pens, inks, paper and inkstones. I want to rewrite."
The maid stood up timidly, preparing to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones for Master Cai. She was especially careful when grinding the ink, for fear of making another mistake.
However, Cai Jing, who was worried, wrote [Yao, Tian and Shun] twice in a row, but felt that the writing was not good, so he tore it up twice...
After doing this dozens of times, Cai Jing wrote a calligraphy work that he thought he was quite satisfied with. After the ink was dry, he ordered his men to frame it immediately so that he could present it to the official family tomorrow, in order to win the happiness of Zhao Guan's family.
.
There are more than 50 chefs and helpers in Cai Jing's house who make steamed buns, and there are more than ten craftsmen who frame calligraphy works.
Cai Jing felt that in addition to the calligraphy he had written, he should also donate to Zhao Guan's family a painting that could remind each other of the deep feelings between the king and his ministers.
He ordered: "Get the "Listening to the Qin Picture" treasured in the house. Tomorrow I will take it to the palace and present it to the officials."
After everything was prepared, Cai Jing felt a little more at ease.
On weekdays, after dark, as long as there are two young and beautiful maids at the end of the bed, using their body temperature to warm Master Cai's feet, Cai Jing can fall asleep quickly.
However, Cai Jing had a lot of things on his mind tonight. Even though the two young and beautiful maids were warming his feet, he felt that his feet were hot and uncomfortable. After kicking the two maids away, he felt that his feet were cold again.
, cold throughout the body...
Then call the maid to warm your feet, then get angry and kick the maid away, then call her again...
So repeated, Cai Jing did not fall asleep until the fourth watch...
……
Cai You, who lives in Cai University in Bianliang, Tokyo, has been working harder to write down the crimes that his father Cai Jing has known about over the years since he received the delicacies given to him by the eunuch sent by Zhao Guan's family in the evening and received the oral instructions from Zhao Guan's family...
…
The next day, Chenshi.
Zhao Jigang got up from the dragon bed, and the eunuch came to report: "Master Cai is outside Donghua Gate, requesting to enter the palace to meet the saint."
Zhao Ji yawned and stretched, but did not inform the eunuch.
The eunuch who delivered the message knelt on the ground, at a loss.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Ji said: "Go outside the door first and wait for the order."
The eunuch who passed the order felt that this was completely different from the attitude of Zhao Guan's family when Cai Taishi came to the palace to meet the emperor.
When Zhao Ji was not ready to meet Cai Jing, a traitorous minister, he would naturally not immediately ask Cai Jing to enter the palace to see him.
Zhao Ji's original owner Song Huizong and Cai Jing were very good monarchs, but the time traveler Zhao Ji was very tired of Cai Taishi, the leader of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Outside the Donghua Gate, Cai Jing waited from Chen Shi to Si Shi, but he did not see the eunuch who had entered the palace to report the incident.
Cai Jing paced anxiously at Donghua Gate, secretly wondering if Zhao Ning would be rejected today?
Suddenly, a group of cars came from a distance...
When he got closer, the dim-sighted Cai Jing saw clearly that it was the driver of Cai You, his unscrupulous son who had rebelled against the Grand Master's Palace...
Cai Jing was suspicious, was this traitor also here to meet the Holy Spirit?
……
When Cai You got off the carriage and looked up at Donghua Gate, he was surprised.
Cai You saw that his father, Cai Jing, with gray beard and hair, was looking up at him.
Their eyes met, very awkward...
Cai You subconsciously stretched out his right hand and touched the memorial that he had written about his father Cai Jing's crimes hidden in his arms. He made sure that the memorial had been tucked away and would not fall, so he felt more at ease.
Cai You walked towards Donghua Gate in high spirits. When he saw his father staring at him blankly, he calmly dusted off his clothes.
Then, Cai You lifted up his lower skirt,
With a "plop", he knelt in front of Cai Jing and said loudly:
"The unfilial son Cai You pays homage to my father."
"Bang, bang, bang", Cai You kowtowed to his father Cai Jing.
Cai Jing:......
He became even more nervous.
Last time, the unfilial Cai You also grabbed the old man's wrist after paying homage to his father, forcibly diagnosed the old man's pulse, and then said that the old man's weak pulse must be due to a serious illness...
The rebellious son turned around and went into the palace to tell Zhao Guan's family that I must be seriously ill because of my weak pulse, and asked the officials to allow me to retire (retire)...
Cai Jing was even more afraid that this time outside Donghua Gate, when the father and son who had long been enemies met, Cai You, the rebellious son, showed unprecedented enthusiasm and courtesy. Could it be that there was something wrong like last time?
