"Brother Cao, my younger brother has taken the liberty of making trouble today. I hope you won't blame me."
Cao Zhi is wearing a moon-white Zen robe, with a wide collar and big sleeves, and fluttering sleeves, giving off a somewhat elegant air.
With a bright smile on his face, he bowed his hands to Cao Peng, appearing to be quite respectful. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Cao Peng became. What is the intention of this boy? Hao Duanduan suddenly came to visit, and he was polite and polite. It was definitely not for this reason.
Come with him singing in the wind and making moon sounds.
Furthermore, if Cao Zhi really wanted to talk about poetry with him, Cao Peng would also feel a headache.
The fourteen-year-old Cao Zhi has already shown the air of a celebrity, and one can't help but be impressed by his magnanimity.
Cao Peng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, smiled slightly, and returned the gift with his hands, "Peng is also honored that Zijian has come now. When I was in the northwest, I often heard people talk about Zijian's name.
It's rare. It's a pity that I never got the chance to spend time with Zijian."
These words came from the bottom of my heart.
Boil the beans and burn the pods, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They are originally from the same root, so there is no need to fry them in a hurry.
A poem in seven steps is a real talent. Although Cao Peng had a precedent of writing a poem in seven steps at Dongling Pavilion, his poem in seven steps was a fake one and could not be counted after all. Compared with Cao Zhi's genuine poem
His ability is far less than that. Of course, today's Cao Zhi is far from the amazing talent he had when he wrote seven-step poems in later generations. But even so, Cao Zhi, who was only fourteen years old, is enough to make people admire him.
Even Cao Cao praised him privately: Zijianwen was so talented that few could match him.
There is certainly a father's love for his son here, but if Cao Zhi didn't have real talent and learning, he probably wouldn't deserve Cao Cao's praise.
After Cao Zhi finished speaking, he introduced Cao Peng: "Brother, do you know Dezu?"
Behind him was a man in his thirties who looked kind-hearted.
Cao Peng was startled and looked at the man in astonishment, showing doubts.
"I, Yang Xiu, have met Cao Sanpian!"
Yang Xiu!
Cao Peng suddenly realized what he was saying, and he slightly raised his hand towards the other party.
As expected, these two people got together... However, this was not the first time Cao Peng met Yang Xiu. It was just that he couldn't remember it clearly.
As early as the second year of Jian'an, when Cao Peng first arrived in Xudu, his mother Zhang was besieged by Fu Jun and others outside Huichun Hall. Cao Peng and Dianman participated in the war, which led to the formation of Xiaobayi. At that time, Yang Xiu also followed.
Fu Jun besieged the accomplices of the Zhang family and others. However, he was very smart. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately withdrew. Later, although he was brutally beaten by his father Yang Biao, the former Taiwei Yang Biao, the head of the Hongnong Yang family,
The punishment was harsh, but not as miserable as Fu Jun's... Fu Jun was lame, and therefore became mortal enemies with Cao Peng's family.
Later, Yang Biao went home to retire!
Yang Xiu stayed in Xudu to continue his studies and became estranged from Fu Jun and others.
In history, this guy was also a quite famous character, but he was just a clever person who showed off his talents and learning. In the end, Yang Xiu was killed by Cao Cao, and it was known to future generations. At this time, Yang Xiu
, looking very elegant, with a hint of arrogance.
As he showed his talents and knowledge, he became friends with Cao Zhi, and was appointed by Cao Cao as Cao Zhi's assistant. His status grew day by day.
Especially after Cao Pi's death, Cao Zhi's status also rose. As a result, Yang Xiu also became arrogant and flamboyant in front of others.
However, he did not dare to show off in front of Cao Peng.
That arrogance is a temperament he has developed since childhood and cannot be changed.
But in words, Yang Xiu still showed great respect for Cao Peng. In any case, Cao Peng was not a person he could offend.
Mrs. Guo had already made an explanation before, so Cao Peng didn't show any politeness.
He led Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu to the side hall, and after the guests and hosts took their seats, he asked rather playfully: "Zijian is here today. What advice do you have?"
However, Cao Zhi showed hesitation on his face and looked very embarrassed.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Cao Zhi gritted his teeth, took out a poem from his arms, and handed it to Cao Peng.
"Brother, last year when I was in Luoshui, I once saw a woman. I fell in love with her. I thought about her day and night and I can't forget her.
I deliberately wrote a poem to commemorate it. My brother Zhizhi has learned a lot, so I took the liberty to come and visit. I would like to ask my brother to give me some advice."
It is indeed better than poetry!
This is really...
Cao Peng took the poem and forced a smile, "I don't know which girl is so blessed that Zijian misses her so much."
Cao Zhi did not answer, but stared at Cao Peng with an extremely expectant look. Cao Peng shook his poem and looked at it intently.
Danjian Fu says: In the tenth year of Jian'an, Yu Dynasty was the capital and returned to Luochuan. The ancients said: The god of Sishui was named Concubine Mi. Feeling Song Yu's treatment of the goddess of the King of Chu, he wrote a private poem, and his words were:
:
I came from the capital area and returned to Dongfan. I carried Yique on my back, crossed the 轘辕, passed through Tonggu and Lingjing Mountain. The sun was tilting to the west, and the chariots and horses were in trouble. You then drove the tax to Henggao, and the fodder to Zhitian.
From Yanglin to Luochuan, I moved my mind and was frightened, and suddenly my thoughts were scattered. I looked down but didn't notice, but looked up to see something special...
I told him: Its shape is as graceful as a frightened giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon, with brilliant autumn chrysanthemums and luxuriant spring pine trees. It looks like the moon covered by light clouds, and flutters like the snow blown by the flowing wind. Looking at it from a distance,
It is as bright as the morning glow of the sun. If you look closely at it, it is as bright as the green waves of a lotus... The shoulders are as if they were cut into shape, and the waist is as plain as it should be. The neck is strong and beautiful, the bright texture is exposed, the fragrance is not added, and the plum blossoms are not restrained. The clouds on the temples are elegance,
Lianjuan's eyebrows are trimmed, her lips are bright on the outside, and her teeth are bright on the inside...
The more Cao Peng looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Luo Shen Fu, this is clearly the Luo Shen Fu that will be famous for future generations!
When Cao Zhi was only fourteen years old, he composed the Luo Shen Fu?
He raised his head in shock and looked at Cao Zhi.
God Luo... No, later generations said that God Luo was Zhen Mi. Cao Zhi had always been extremely in love with Zhen Mi, but he was sad because Zhen Mi married Cao Pi. Now, Zhen Mi did not marry Cao Pi, but married Cao Pi
Peng. Similarly, Zhen Mi is also Cao Zhi’s sister-in-law. Could it be said that Cao Zhi’s Luo Shen Fu was written by Zhen Mi? If this is true, how could Cao Peng give up?
You must know how much controversy Cao Zhi's Luo Shen Fu caused in later generations.
Some people say that Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi fell in love, and it was because of Cao Pi that the two could not finally get married. Is it possible that now that Cao Pi is gone, I have to take Cao Pi's place? No, Zhen Mi's reputation is not prominent in Hexi.
, not many people know her. And since she returned to the Central Plains with Cao Peng, she has rarely been seen in public. There is absolutely no way that the two of them... Wait, the ten years of Jian'an, didn't it happen last year?
Cao Peng closed his eyes and recalled everything that happened last year.
Zhen Mi didn't go out much last year... No, she seemed to go out once. In late autumn, she took her child Cao Rui and Buluan Guo Huan to Luoyang to worship Buddha and pray for the children. The poem also said,
Cao Zhi passed through Luoshui when he returned to Beijing last year.
Hold!
This guy cares about fucking my wife!
Cao Peng was furious and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.
"Zijian, what does this mean?"
There was a hint of murderous intent in his words, and a hint of coldness emanated from his whole body.
Unfortunately, Cao Zhi was not aware of Cao Peng's reaction. Seeing Cao Peng's inquiry, he immediately became excited. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Brother, to be honest with you, the woman I met in Luoshui last year was my concubine. I am also my brother's concubine."
I don’t know whether I should, but... I am bold today and hope that my elder brother will give it to me. I am willing to give him a thousand gold pieces, no, three thousand gold pieces to thank him, and I hope that my elder brother can fulfill his promise."
Damn, I went crazy thinking about women, and they actually thought about me.
You can have sex with Zhen Mi in private, but I don't have to be the same as you. However, you actually want to ask for it in front of me, which is really too much of a lie.
Cao Peng was so angry that he slapped his hand, along with the poem, on the mahogany Eight Immortals table next to him.
"Zijian, you are so rude!
His angry shout was like a huge thunder exploding in the hall.
The solid mahogany Eight Immortals table couldn't bear Cao Peng's angry palm, and it immediately fell into pieces. The poem and the poem also turned into butterflies and fell to the ground. The thick murderous aura forced people away.
Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu suddenly turned pale.
"If it weren't for the kindness of your father and brother, based on what you said today, I would kill you immediately.
You're rude, you really bullied me too much. Cao Zijian, get out of here immediately. If you stay any longer, don't blame me for not caring about my uncle's face."
After that, Cao Peng threw down his sleeves and strode away, leaving Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu in the hall, at a loss.
Cao Peng felt that Cao Zhi was here to humiliate him.
But he wronged Cao Zhi again...
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even later, women were often treated as goods due to their low social status. Especially among scholars, giving each other beautiful concubines and concubines was a very elegant thing in the eyes of the people at the time.
Sometimes, it is even said to be a good talk.
Cao Zhi believed that Zhen Mi was just Cao Peng's concubine, so he came to ask for it.
If it were a wife like Huang Yueying or Xia Houzhen, he would definitely not dare to say this.
But he didn't expect that he would make Cao Peng so angry. He stood blankly in the hall for a while, not knowing what to do...
Cao Peng left the hall angrily. After returning to his residence, he still felt extremely angry.
Cao Zhi, I still regard him as a talented man, but he is a frivolous person with no merit. He insults me like this, it really makes me angry.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Cao Peng raised his hand, grabbed the mahogany armchair in the room, and slammed it on the door.
The solid door was smashed into pieces.
The servants outside the house didn't know what was going on and were so scared that they fell into silence.
A moment later, Mrs. Guo hurried over. She walked into the room and saw Cao Peng, with a pale complexion, sitting on a chair with his hands clenched into fists.
"Uncle, why are you doing this?"
"Sister-in-law, Cao Zijian bullied me too much..."
Mrs. Guo couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this.
She was also very disgusted with this kind of fashion in Shilin.
As a woman, she naturally hated this kind of behavior that did not treat women as human beings. However, Mrs. Guo did not understand why Cao Peng was so angry. She could only comfort her softly, and at the same time sent someone to find Guo Jia and come back immediately. Otherwise,
, she couldn’t protect Cao Peng, what trouble would he cause?
However, Mrs. Guo admired Cao Peng's reaction very much.
"Are those two thieves still there?"
"Already gone...Uncle, you don't know, the way you looked just now really shocked everyone. Even Xiaoyi didn't dare to come close.
What Zijian and Dezu did today was indeed a bit excessive.
But my uncle’s reaction just now was too fierce. If he offended Mrs. Bian and Sikong because of it, wouldn’t he suffer a loss in the end?”
"If Sikong ignores the cause, I would rather go back to Xingyang and continue to serve my sentence."
"Uncle, why are you saying such angry words? Sikong...hehe, listen to my sister-in-law and don't be angry again. If you are so angry that your body is damaged, it is not worth it."
Mrs. Guo comforted Cao Peng here, while on the other side, Guo Yi went straight to Sikong Mansion.
"I want to see my father. Please inform him that something big has happened at home... My uncle is angry at home, and even my mother can't do anything."
What Guo Yi said was a mess, but the servant of Sikong Mansion was confused.
At this moment, a boy came out of the mansion. Seeing Guo Yi, he hurriedly walked up and asked, "Brother Xiaoyi, why are you here?"
"Cang Shu, please take me to see my father immediately. Something happened at home, and Uncle Cao got angry, and someone might die!"
Cao Chong was startled and showed a look of astonishment.
"When did Brother Cao come to Xudu? Why don't I know any news about him?"
While asking, he took Guo Yi's hand and walked towards Sikong's mansion. When the doorman saw Cao Chong coming forward, he naturally couldn't stop him. Cao Chong pulled Guo Yi and asked as he walked: "Xiao Yi, the Cao family
My brother got angry because of this? When did he come?"
"Last night, he arrived in Xudu last night.
In the morning, he took me to boxing for exercise, and in the afternoon he taught me how to write very kindly. But somehow, he suddenly seemed to be a different person. Looking at him, he looked like a ferocious beast. His mother was trying to persuade him at home, but she couldn't
Do you know if you can persuade him?"
Guo Yi became anxious and his words became even more confusing. Cao Chong became even more confused.
However, he still heard some clues from Guo Yi's words: Cao Peng arrived in Xudu last night and stayed at Guo Jia's house. Now he was waiting for sin, but he came to Xudu openly and stayed in Xudu.
The fact that he settled in Guo Jia's home meant that his father summoned him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Cao Peng to leave Xingyang without authorization... which means that his father must have something important to discuss with him.
Secondly, someone provoked Cao Peng.
Who provoked Cao Peng?
Cao Chong was very curious...
He probably knew the nature of his enlightened gentleman, who generally would not get angry, but once he got angry, big things would happen.
The first time he got angry, he broke the hand of the general of the country.
The second time he got angry and killed famous people in Guanzhong and Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou...
Who is so bold as to dare to tease Brother Cao?
At this time, Guo Jia was in the flower hall in the backyard, discussing matters with Cao Cao with Xun Yu, Dong Zhao and others. Suddenly he heard a commotion outside, and then he heard Dian Wei saying loudly: "Fifth Young Master, I must have refused.
Notification, but the Lord is discussing matters and must not be disturbed."
"I have something important to do and want to see my father."
Cao Cao was startled, frowned, and walked out of the flower hall.
"Cang Shu, why are you making such noise here?"
Without waiting for Cao Chong to answer, Guo Yi rushed out from behind Cao Chong and shouted to Guo Jia who was standing behind Cao Cao: "Daddy, come home quickly, Uncle Cao, Uncle Cao is going to kill someone... If you don't go back, I'm afraid Cao Zhi will
Brother will be in danger, and mother wants you to go back immediately."
As soon as these words came out, not only Guo Jia, but also Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked.
