Chapter 34 Cai Wan
"Gongda, it's your turn." Wang Yun slightly bent his fingers, flicked the kerchief in his hand, and hit the chess piece in front of his upper body. The Xuanmu chess piece rolled down with a "click" and pressed on top of Xun You's chess piece.

Xun You watched his chess pieces sway for a while, but still stood firmly on the board, and couldn't help laughing: "You are not good at playing chess."

"Hey, it's just for taking a break, why should Gongda shirk?"

Wang Yun waved his hand, spices were burning in the Boshan stove in the house, and light smoke wafted out, lingering and enveloping.

"Show ugly." Xun You focused his eyes on a point on the chessboard, suddenly raised his index finger, and the Gejin popped out like an arrow, knocking Wang Yun's chess piece off the chessboard.

Wang Yun picked up the chess piece, stared at the chess surface in a daze, didn't know what he was thinking, his hands kept moving, and the wind of the chess changed, becoming aggressive.

Xun You understood, and understood that Wang Yun was condensing the changes of the court into the chess game in his palm, and put himself in Dong Cheng's position.So make a defensive, no longer take the initiative to attack, just silently defend.

The two settled down, attacking and defending each other.The room was silent for a while, only the sound of "click" and "click" chess pieces colliding.

"This is..." Wang Yun's hands froze in mid-air.

The chessboard was in a mess, and the chess pieces of both sides were scattered all over the table, which seemed to be a draw for both sides, but Wang Yun faintly sensed something was wrong.

He and Xun You looked at each other, Xun You's lips under his beard were drawn into a straight line, he turned his head to look southwest, and remained silent.

Zhong Ping handed over the letter of worship, and waited outside Cai Yong's gate with the letter in his arms, saying that he is also Cai Yong's disciple now.Etiquette still needs to be in place, and it can no longer be like before, just go in after the pass.

The servant recognized Zhongping's identity, didn't dare to delay, took the greeting card with a bow, and hurried to the mansion.

Zhong Ping estimated that he would have to wait for a while. After thinking about it, he opened the scroll and realized what he still had doubts about last night, reciting in a low voice, thinking deeply.

"The king must follow the rites of the previous king and follow the time, and there will be gains and losses. That is, the hearts of the people, a little bit of work, until peace and great preparation."

Those who call themselves kings must follow the etiquette and law of the previous kings, take appropriate measures when they are going forward, increase or decrease, and make them gradually according to the people's psychology, and they will be greatly completed in peacetime.

Doesn't that make sense?I can remember...

"The husband establishes the monarch and the ministers, waits up and down, so that the discipline is orderly, and the six relatives are in harmony. This is not the work of heaven, but the creation of man."

Establishing the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, clarifying the ranks of superiors and inferiors, making the discipline orderly, and the six relatives harmonious, this is not the work of heaven, but the establishment of human beings.

The words on the scroll were covered by shadows, and a clear and soft female voice sounded next to Zhong Ping's ears, and he raised his head suspiciously.

Hiss... What a cute girl!
Zhong Ping's eyes lit up, and the girl who appeared next to him was about eleven or twelve years old.There are two small pointed hair horns on the top of the head, the tails of the eyes are slightly drooping, the eyelashes enclose the black pupils like wings, the nose is round and straight, and there is a small cinnabar mole on the right side of the nose.

For some reason, Zhong Ping automatically thought of a purple lilac swaying in the wind.

"Wan'er, why did you run outside again?"

Zhong Ping turned his head subconsciously, and saw a woman in plain clothes, with a veil covering the lower half of her face, with a hint of sadness between her brows, standing alone inside the door.

"Sister!" The little girl smiled brightly, ran to the woman's side, pointed to the scroll in Zhongping's hand, and said, "This is my father's disciple."

Zhong Ping guessed that the older woman should be that Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji.

He saluted earnestly, and said softly: "Chong Ping, Zhong Boheng, I have seen Mrs. Wei."

Cai Yan returned the salute, frowning, and said: "At first, my father was imprisoned because of crying for Dong. Thanks to the help of Taishi Ling, I was able to solve the difficulties of the day. I am grateful, but it is inconvenient to come to the door to say thanks."

Zhong Ping also knew that what Cai Yan said was inconvenient was that her husband Wei Zhongdao passed away due to illness, and she was not liked by the Wei family, so she had to return to Chang'an and was a widow at home.

He secretly sighed in his heart, Cai Yan's tragic life seemed to have been foreshadowed early.

"Ma'am, you are polite. The teacher is a normal person, and all the officials know about it. Ping didn't do anything about what happened that day. It was all people in the court who worked together to save him. Ping dare not bear this false name."

Zhong Ping thought about it carefully, and felt that he didn't do much at that time, that is, he followed Taifu Ma Rizun and persuaded him with Bai Juyi's poems. This matter should not be regarded as his credit. , I still don't want to catch up.

Therefore, the words roughly explained the situation at the time, and euphemistically expressed the meaning that he had actually done nothing.

Cai Yan only felt that although Zhong Ping was young, he had the ability to advance and retreat, and was humble. He also thought of his past reputation.

"If Tai Shiling comes to visit my father, there is no need to wait, please come with my concubine."

Cai Yan turned sideways, her brows were light, her eyebrows were half-frowned, she looked like a picture of Xizi Huansha that Zhong Ping had seen before.

"Mrs. Trouble."

Zhong Ping followed Cai Yan, and Cai Wan ran away from Cai Yan at some point. At this time, he hid behind the old tree in the courtyard, poking out only half of his head, staring at Zhong Ping non-stop.

Zhong Ping didn't understand what the little girl meant. He followed the other party's gaze and moved his gaze to his own hand. Only then did he realize that what Cai Wan had been looking at was the scroll in his hand.

He felt a little funny, lifted the scroll, and deliberately waved it in the air.

Sure enough, the little girl was just like a greedy cat seeing Xiaoyugan, her pair of sleeping phoenix eyes widened suddenly, and her gaze moved along the scroll.

Cai Wan came out from behind the ancient tree hesitantly, and ran to Zhong Ping with a "thud thump", wanting to speak, but worried that the older sister in front would find out, so she only held onto the sleeve of Zhong Ping, her eyes full of longing .

Zhong Ping was a little embarrassed by her, but he still wanted to discuss "History of Han" with Cai Yong, and now he really couldn't give her the scroll, so he smiled apologetically and said in a low voice: "Next time I come again, another How about a copy for you?"

Before Cai Wan could speak, Cai Yan, who was walking in front, noticed the movement behind her, and knew that her sister was probably being willful again, so she stopped, her eyes showing a bit of sternness.

"Wan'er!"

Cai Wan trembled in fright, quickly let go of Zhong Ping's sleeves, and slowly moved to Cai Yan's side: "Sister, Wan'er knows I'm wrong..."

Cai Yan sighed softly, her younger sister used to pretend to be pitiful, but she was cute at the same time, although she was sometimes harsh, but if she really wanted to be taught a lesson, she still couldn't do it.

"Wan'er is young and ignorant, if there is any offense, I will apologize to Taishi Ling on Wan'er's behalf."

"It's nothing." Zhong Ping thought about children, so there was nothing to mind, and to be honest, he thought Cai Wan was quite cute like this.

Well, next time I come, I can bring some candies for the little girl...

 Thanks to Jingchi Qingying into the cloud and the Du family for the monthly pass. ()
