Days are everlasting

Cao Pi welcomed his younger brother into the door with a smile on his face, not to mention his actions, even his words were not very warm.

While he was talking with Cao Zhi, Master Sima stayed beside Cao Pi calmly and watched silently.

The famous brothers in history are tearing up, I am sorry for not taking a good look at the scene.

Even the original Sima Master in history, at this age, should be a normal child, and there is absolutely no chance to see such a scene.

It would be a loss to watch these scenes one less time! 【Hello! 】

Although it looked like a guest who was not welcome by the host, Cao Zhi was calm: "I haven't seen my second brother for a long time, and today I met a child from Sima's family, so Zhi came here uninvited."

In short, I miss my brother.

For this reason, let alone Cao Pi didn't believe it, even Master Sima showed an indescribable expression.

This kind of words that can't even fool a three-year-old child can be said less.

Of course, even if you don't believe it in your heart, you still have to pretend for the sake of brotherhood and brotherhood.

But the second son has such a straight temper, Master Sima only listened to the first half of his sentence, "Pi naturally welcomes you, the fourth brother", and the second half of the sentence became "It's a pity that the fourth brother is having a banquet with others, giving a gift." Shi, although Pi is an elder brother, I can't see you often."

Master Sima couldn't help applauding Cao Pi.

Is this any different from pointing at Cao Zhi's nose and calling him a drunken dandy?

Cao Zhi's expression changed immediately.

Cao Zhi: Second brother, can we really be brothers?

People still sit squatting now. When they get to the place, after sitting down, Cao Zhi's sitting posture is not as upright as Sima Shi's.

In fact, this is also normal. Cao Zhi came to Cao Pi's house, which is not the same as Sima Shi's usual visit to Cao Pi's house.

Cao Pi regarded Sima Shi as his nephew, and his words were quite intimate, but Cao Zhi's visit this time was just a whim to visit his brother, without any other purpose, it can be regarded as a gathering between family members.

Master Sima: Cao Zhi, is it really okay for you to be so wild and unrestrained?The second brother in front of you doesn't have a good relationship with you, does he?

In fact, this also has a certain relationship with Cao Zhi's character.

It was a few years after Cao Pi was established as the crown prince. Master Sima couldn't remember the exact time. Even if he drank the water from the spiritual spring, he could only recall some general stories.

It is said that in the first few years, even though there were other capable ministers around him to help, and as the de facto eldest son, he had a moral advantage, Cao Pi still failed to please his father.

It's really because Cao Zhi's love for this son reached its peak after Cao Zhi made a fu in Tongque Terrace in the 15th year of Jian'an, and he thought he would be able to make a great career.

Cao Zhi has literary talent, and he is not considered a luxury lover. His behavior is simple, and he is essentially a wild and unruly literary youth [Eh? ] Cao Cao is very optimistic about this son, thinking that he is like himself.

Most of the fathers in ancient times thought that their sons were like themselves, and most of them were because they loved this son.

After all, no one would admit that they are not good, and admit that their son is like themselves. If they say that there is something wrong with their son, aren't they talking about themselves?

However, Cao Zhi later exposed a very serious problem.

He is not very rigorous, and was evaluated as "acting willfully, not self-decorating". After drinking too much, he is prone to troubles. In Sima Shi's memory, Cao Cao found out that Cao Zhi was drinking and caused two troubles. Coupled with other reasons, over time, Cao Zhi fell out of favor.

Master Sima felt that Cao Zhi's randomness could be seen just from the issue of sitting posture.

Although Cao Pi is sometimes considered casual, how can he show such an informal side in front of his brother who is not very close like Cao Zhi?

To put it nicely, it means that Mr. Zhi has a pure heart, but to put it bluntly, it means that he is lacking in heart!

The two adults present would never have imagined that Master Sima had thought so much in such a short period of time.

Cao Zhi was actually very curious about Master Sima, and he became even more curious after seeing his second brother's attitude towards Master Sima.

Master Sima didn't come to Cao Pi's house every day, but the frequency of visits was quite high. According to Cao Zhi, the second brother's attitude towards Master Sima almost caught up with his own son.

Is there anything special about Sima Shi?

As far as child prodigies are concerned, there are quite a few in their family. Cao Chong was one at the time, and Cao Zhi was also one. Even Cao Pi himself, who was capable of both literary and martial arts at the age of eight, was a remarkable child.

In terms of good looks, heh, if Cao Pi was a person who judged his face, he wouldn't be so repulsive to He Yan.Moreover, although the child's family looks really good, it's not so good that the second brother loves it so much!

Sima Shi: I'm really sorry for not having a handsome face like Wei Jie in the Jin Dynasty that fascinated men, women and children all over the world!

If it's to win over Sima Shi's father, Sima Yi, then there's no need to do this, right?

After ruling out all possibilities, Cao Zhi could only come to one conclusion, that the second elder brother really liked this child very much, almost even more so than his own son.

Although Sima Shi is still young, Cao Zhi still needs to take the school test to see why his second brother likes him.

Sima Shi: Oh, I'm still afraid of you?

One point that needs to be emphasized is that even in this age, not everyone can afford books.

Don't think that Cao Cheng's position is high and powerful, and there are a lot of books in the mansion.

Although Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty had improved the white paper, it was still popularized and used in later generations, so the recording tools such as bamboo slips are still used now.

The so-called learning rich five carts means that the bamboo slips can be filled with five carts, which is actually a very admirable thing.

However, if you compare the contents recorded in the books on Wuche Bamboo Slips with the modern times of later generations, you will find that the number of books is actually very small, maybe only one pile.

Cao Zhi was first valued by his father back then because he had read many books, and then his literary talent was blessed, and his father even thought he had cheated.

Sima Master came from a later generation, and the number of classics in this era is not as large as that of later generations. In addition, Sima Master's memory has been strengthened by the memory of Lingquan Water, and his memory of some ancient books has been supplemented-not to mention, although he is now a A child with fetal wear, but he can still read books - so in terms of knowledge, he may not be as thorough and deep as Cao Zhi, but in terms of reading volume, he is not too bad, and he can still talk to Cao Zhi.

And that's enough.

Although he is only four years old, he has an "adult-like" brain bonus, and he has dabbled in many classics-in Cao Zhi's view, it is normal for children to not be proficient in this, so he didn't know that maybe Master Sima knew The only thing he said was what he said - coupled with a cute and cute appearance, who wouldn't like such a child?

Cao Zhi now fully understands his second brother's mood.

Moreover, Cao Zhi, who has filled his brain too much, also believes that many of the knowledge that Sima Shi's children know are taught by his second brother.

It is a very happy thing for a genius to become more and more intelligent under his own teaching. If it were not for his limited status, Cao Zhi would have wanted to rob someone with his second brother!

Alas, but after thinking about it, I know that this is impossible, so I can only give birth to one myself.

At this time, Cao Zhi suddenly had a great desire to get married.

Since he came here in the name of visiting his brother, it is naturally impossible for Cao Zhi to just take the exam for Sima Shi, that is putting the cart before the horse.

At his strong request, Cao Pi also took him to visit his own garden, and the two brothers each wrote a poem.

Let Master Sima taste it, and he can't tell which one is better.

Sima Shi is a person of later generations, and his aesthetic appreciation of poetry is mainly concentrated on Tang and Song poetry. If he is asked to talk about the poems written by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi this time—rather than their famous works in history— —Which one did better, he really couldn't tell.

But thinking about it, the two of them didn't put all their minds on writing poems. After staying for a while, Cao Zhi left.

Because it was getting late, he was going to dinner.

Well, as expected, he is a free and easy young man without the burden of his family, and his nightlife is rich.

Sima Shi somewhat understood what Cao Pi meant when Cao Zhi first entered the door, and Cao Pi satirized him for indulging in feasts and poems.

If this is the daily life of Fourth Young Master Cao, Master Sima can only say that he is not alcoholic and should be grateful for the low alcohol content of this era!

But unexpectedly, in autumn, Prime Minister Cao was about to lead an army out again. Cao Zhi tried his best to recommend himself and was accepted.

Cao Pi, who also recommended himself with his father, but was asked to stay in Yecheng to handle affairs, felt bitter.

Don't talk to him about the king's expedition and the prince's supervision of the country, because the current prince of Wei Wang has no fixed number at all!

Cao Pi has to stay behind to take care of all kinds of affairs, and the chance of gaining a sense of presence in front of his father is very weak. He should handle the affairs well, and he should be scolded if he doesn't handle them well; and Cao Zhi is by Cao Cao's side , Every move will be watched.

The men in the Cao family are not weak, even Cao Zhi is a good man who often goes to battle to kill the enemy, and he is a good man. Those who read his sad and sad poems in later generations think he is a weak and melancholy beauty. Men and women are all deceived.

Perhaps for Cao Pi, the "good thing" during this period is that his son Cao Rui can finally stay in the mansion safely all day, and is not often called by his grandfather Cao Cao, and the father and son can finally have a long time together. up.

So Master Sima didn't quite understand, why did you call me over to accompany you after your son came back?

Now I really want the baby to stay with him for a long time!

Master Sima: Let me go home, the baby remembered that there is still a baby who hasn't been weaned [? ]'s younger brother needs to take care of it!

Cao Rui: Why do I have to wean Master Sima [Eh? 】, keep saying that the people of Father and Mother are staying together!I am no longer a child!

Congratulated Cao Pi: Ah, Ruier and Master get along really well!

The author has something to say: Ah, I feel that I can only adjust the time back on weekends, and I feel that I have not saved manuscripts in the past few days and have run naked like a dog.
