"That's right." Cai Yong stood up with a smile." Brother Zigan didn't give it to me. Now that Xuande is here, I have the chess set."”
"That's right. Didn't the item given by the gods in their dreams come from Xuande?”"It's all Xuande's fault," said Xun You.”
Xun You said this because he knew it was a way to help Liu Bei.
"Blame me? Why do you say that, Brother Gongda?" Liu Bei was very appreciative and cooperative.
"The poem I read yesterday almost made me forget that Xuande was a genius who was taught by a god in his dreams.”Xun You said half-truthfully,"Today, I made a fool of myself in front of Mr. Bo Meng. I don't blame you."”
" Poem? What poem?!" "Xuande, you know how to compose poems?" Cai Yong asked blankly.”
"Sir, Brother Gongda is just joking." Liu Bei didn't dare to show off in front of Cai Yong. He was just a porter. Forget about writing poems with words.
The poems and songs had a long history, like a vast sea of smoke. Liu Bei only knew a little and remembered some of the best works of his predecessors. It was okay to act pretentious, but if they really discussed it, they would definitely make a fool of themselves.
"Gongda is an honest person, how can he lie? Tell me what a good poem it is.”Cai Yong once again became a curious baby, his thirst for knowledge was extremely strong.
"Seeing the autumn wind in Luoyang, I want to write a book. I'm afraid I can't finish it in a hurry, so I'll open it again before leaving.”Xun You recited the poem "Autumn Thoughts" with great emotion.
Cai Yong listened attentively to the poem, and he didn't even care about the chess that he couldn't put down.
" It's deep and shallow, and it's complicated and gentle. At first glance, it looks like a few words, but it has endless meaning.”After Xun You finished reciting, Cai Yong began to comment,""I have already written a book, but I can't finish it. Before I leave Kaifeng, I can only express my longing for my hometown. These poems are all about nature."
Cai Yong was indeed Cai Yong. Even if there were no seven-character quatrains in this era, it did not hinder his appreciation of this poem and gave it a very high evaluation.
Seven-character quatrains appeared during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. It was considered to be very close to the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. This was also the reason why Liu Bei chose the seven-character quatrain.
It was acceptable, but it didn't feel out of place. Even if he had the dream of a god as a cover, he couldn't be too far-fetched.
"It is indeed a good poem." Xun You nodded.”
"Brother Gongda, don't kill me.”Liu Bei waved his hands and said,"In front of you, who dares to say that he is knowledgeable and talented?"”
"The accomplished are the teachers." Cai Yong did not agree." What you know is what you know, and what you don't know is what you don't know. There's nothing to be modest about.”
Model." Xun You sincerely respected Cai Yong.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were only a handful of people who were more knowledgeable than Cai Yong, and there were very few people who were more knowledgeable than Cai Yong. There was no one who had great knowledge and helped the younger generation without considering the return.
Other than Cai Yong, who else could it be?
"Haha!" Cai Yong smiled and said,"Let's play chess!"”
Since Cai Yong had said so, Liu Bei and Xun You naturally had nothing to say. Then let's start the war!
Cai Yong and Liu Bei went on stage to fight, while Xun You watched from the side. The two players explained as they killed, and they learned as they watched.
When it was lunchtime, Liu Bei was curious as to why Cao Cao had not arrived yet. Wasn't he definitely here to freeload?？
As for Cai Yong and Xun You, they were both immersed in the wonderful chess game and had forgotten the existence of time. How could they care about anything else?
"Master, Lord Cao has arrived." Only when someone reported did Cai Yong and Xun You shift their gazes away from the chessboard.
"See, Meng De is here to cook rice.”Cai Yong said,"Invite him in."”
Cai Yong was too lazy to welcome a regular customer like Cao Cao. He knew that Cao Cao was thick-skinned. Even if he was ignored yesterday, he would definitely come today.
"Northern Lieutenant Cao Cao, Cao Mengde?" Xun You asked subconsciously.
Xun You knew about the relationship between Cao Cao and Cai Yong, but just like Liu Bei, he did not know that Cao Cao was so open-minded and Cai Yong was also so used to it.
"Yeah, who else could it be?" Cai Yong's mouth twitched." Don't worry about him. Let's continue."”
Cao Cao was also dressed in casual clothes, but unlike Xun You, he was empty-handed.
"Sir." Boss Cao bowed to Cai Yong and said pitifully,""I was really curious about the chess set made by Xuande, so I went to Mister's residence without listening to my feet.”
"Oh, you came uninvited? You still have reason. Meng De, you've grown up.”Cai Yong glanced at Cao Cao from the corner of his eyes and blurted out strange words.
"Hehe!" Cao Cao laughed and cupped his hands at Xun You,""Greetings, Assistant Minister Xun."
Xun You returned the bow and nodded. He had a dull expression and did not say anything.
At this moment, Xun You was not interested in Cao Cao. The reason was simple. Xun You was a low-key person. In his eyes, Cao Cao was an arrogant person who did not know how to restrain himself.
Moreover, Xun You was one of the most promising candidates to take over the position of the next family head of the Xun Family in Yingchuan. Whether it was in terms of background or talent, he was better than Cao Cao.
"Hello, Brother Xuande." Cao Cao did not mind and called out to Liu Bei.
"Hello, Brother Meng De. I have to thank you for the top-grade Nanmu wood you gave me. Mr. Bo Meng is indeed a man of temperament. He is really good. Not only is the chess piece not easy to damage, but it can also be kept for a long time."”Liu Bei could only warm up the scene.
"I wonder how many you have carved. If you need it, we have some high-quality nanmu wood.”Cao Cao wanted a set of Chinese chess very much, but he was afraid that it would fall into the hands of others.
"Fifth Deputy, you have full authority to deal with him.”Liu Bei knew that Cai Yong had already let Cao Cao go, but he still wanted to tease Cao Cao, his destined rival.
"Sir." When Cao Cao heard this, he knew what Cai Yong meant. He shamelessly begged Cai Yong.
"Sure!" Cai Yong nodded and stroked his beard." Gongda knows that courtesy should be reciprocated, so he gave me a set of gifts. What about you, Meng De?" He wouldn't want to exchange it for a few pieces of broken wood, right?”
"Of course." Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said righteously,""Sir, you should know that my life's ambition is to conquer the four directions for the Great Han Dynasty. However, Sir Zigan said that chess is a method of arranging troops and formations between two armies, so I asked for it.”
No matter what happened to Cao Cao and the Cao family, Cao Cao was still a hot-blooded youth who had the Han Dynasty in his heart. Even Liu Bei could tell that Cao Cao was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"That's true!" Cai Yong was very pleased and happily gave Cao Cao and Xun You a set of Chinese chess each.
"Master, lunch is ready." Before they could continue playing chess, the servants of the Cai Residence came to invite the old master to dinner.
"This afternoon, we will only play chess and not talk about anything else.”After dinner, Cai Yong set the tone for the afternoon activities.
In the afternoon, Cai Yong and Liu Bei went up, Xun You on the left and Cao Cao on the right.
To Liu Bei's horror, Cai Yong, who was not his opponent in the morning, had already made Liu Bei use his full strength in the afternoon.
Xun You, who had only watched a few rounds in the morning, was already eager to try in the afternoon.
And Cao Cao, he was really talented. He had only just seen chess, but he could already speak while watching the game. He was also very insightful.
They were all talents, and Liu Bei felt ashamed of himself.
"Meng De, can't you read?" Cai Yong took the time to knock on the chessboard and point at the words carved on both sides of the chessboard.
"Watching chess without saying a word is a true gentleman, raising one's hand without regret is a real man.”Cao Cao looked to his left and said,"Brother Liu Bei, you are a great talent."”
"You don't need to tell me about Xuande's talent." Cai Yong blew at his beard and glared at him.”
"Sir, you are too powerful. Even if the three of us work together, we might not be a match for you.”Cao Cao, this dark-faced guy, was really good at flattering.
"Yes!" Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled in enjoyment. He used many clever moves and killed Liu Bei with a single shot.
Liu Bei stood up and said,"Brother Gongda, do you want to spar with me?"”
"Alright!" Xun You changed his usual attitude and went up the stage.
