Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

In the 15th year of Jian'an, in March, the Tongque Terrace ordered by Cao Cao was basically completed.

On the day of delivery, Cao Cao brought a group of civil servants and advisers and children of a family who love literature to visit Tongque Taichung and write poems and odes for it.

After Cao Zhi received Siqi's letter, he rushed to Yecheng as quickly as possible, and immediately offered his care and love to his father. He did not lag behind other brothers, which also made Cao Cao very satisfied with him.

This time when he came to inspect the newly completed Tongque Terrace, Cao Cao naturally took him with him.

Cao Zhi has always been good at this aspect, and he made a big splash in the poetry meeting, which gave Boss Cao a lot of embarrassment.

After Cao Cao read these poems, he remembered that the most talented woman in the city, Cai Wenji, the daughter of Cai Yong, was also in Yecheng, so he specially invited her to write an inscription for Tongque Terrace.

Cai Wenji sat down and immediately wrote a long fu.

Cao Cao praised it repeatedly after reading it, and immediately asked someone to take it home and carefully frame it, and invited Cai Wenji to sit down and have tea.

Cao Cao saw the anxiety in Cai Wenji's eyebrows and seemed to be worried, so he couldn't help asking a few more words: "Gu and your late father were old friends, and he also entrusted you to bring you back. He is now I'm gone, if you have something on your mind, you might as well talk to Gu. After all, Gu is older than you, and has seen many things, so if you speak up, Gu can give you an idea."

Cai Wenji sighed softly, and slowly talked about the worries in her heart.

Although her father Cai Yong is deceased, there are still many elders in the family. Seeing that she is alone now, they all persuade her to remarry and find a suitable candidate. It is a man from her hometown named Dong Si, who was the captain of Tuntian at that time. .

Cai Wenji's first husband, Hedong Wei Zhongdao, died early. Later, he experienced war and was plundered by the Huns Zuo Xianwang. After living outside the Great Wall for 12 years, he was welcomed back to his homeland by Cao Cao.

Cai Wenji lost confidence in her married life because of her experience in the early years, but in this era, a woman has lost her father, no brothers, no husband, and does not know how to live.

Cao Cao had also met Dong Si, but he didn't feel much about him. He felt that he was not worthy of Cai Yan except for his family conditions.

But Cai Yan's current situation is really not good. This era is indeed very unfriendly to self-supporting women.

Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind for a while: "It's hard for you to live alone. I admire your father's talents and behavior the most. When your father passed away, I promised him to take good care of you. It's just that you It's not easy for Gu to make up your mind about the matter you mentioned, why don't you go out to relax first, and make a decision when you come back to Ye City in the future."

Cai Wenji also knew that Cao Cao had good intentions, and was moved after hearing this.

She has been away from her hometown for more than ten years now, and she has been living in reclusive life since she came back, with few friends.In the past two years, the most agreeable person was the lively and lovely Mr. Chengping whom he met during the time when he lived in Chengping.

I heard that Lord Weng is currently in Jingzhou, and she has dreamed of traveling far since she was a child, and she has always yearned for Jingzhou.

Cao Cao's words are good. At this time, she has listened to too many words from her elders who advised her to get married after analyzing the pros and cons. She has been framed in a fixed thinking. After going out to see a wider world, she thinks she will make a more correct decision.

Cai Wenji thanked Cao Cao, packed her luggage after returning home, hired servants and guards with a lot of money, and set off for Jingzhou.

The news she heard from Cao Cao was that Lord Weng is now living in Xiangyang, Jingzhou.But after Cai Wenji arrived in Xiangyang, she learned that Siqi had gone to the police with her father to attend Liu Bei's wedding, so she had to go to the police again.

Si Qi received a report from the guards who stayed in Xiangyang, and learned that Cai Wenji had come to Jingzhou to look for her. He was very happy, so he made a special trip to change clothes and go out, and went outside the city gate to pick her in.

The two had eaten and lived together for a period of time in Chengping before, and they had a good understanding with each other. Si Qi warmly invited Cai Wenji to live together.

Cai Wenji felt that this was not Siqi's own home after all, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Siqi here, but said that she had already rented a house in the city, and the deposit had been paid, so it would be more convenient for her to be there.

Seeing her persistence, Si Qi was afraid that she would be restrained if she lived in the mansion with him, so he had no choice but to agree.

Cai Wenji traveled all the way from Yecheng to Jingzhou, and was inevitably exhausted after traveling a long distance. After checking in, she rested for three whole days before she really recovered.

When he was in Chengping, Siqi took Cai Wenji to eat all the special restaurants and snacks in the city, and this time in Jingzhou was no exception.

It's just that the police station has just been designated by Liu Bei, and it's not as prosperous as those mature big cities.

Si Qi made a special trip to reserve a private room in the best restaurant in Gong'an, and the two of them were tired from shopping, so they went in to chat with each other over tea.

In the process of shopping, Si Qi noticed that Cai Wenji was always a little sad, so he knew that she had something on her mind.

Cai Wenji originally wanted to discuss things with Si Qi, but she heard Si Qi's inquiry and expressed her confusion.

Emotionally, she prefers to live alone. If she meets someone she really likes in the future, she will marry. If she doesn't meet someone, it doesn't matter.

But intellectually, she felt that what the elders said was right. For a woman like her, with those bad experiences in the past, being alone would only make it harder.

Si Qi remembered that Cai Wenji's third husband was not a good match in history, so she was not advised to marry at will.

What Cai Wenji was worried about was that it would be relatively difficult for her to live alone, which was precisely the best solution for Si Qi.

"I've been wanting to visit Chengzhou these days, but the situation in Jingzhou has been tense, so I haven't found the opportunity to go back. I still don't understand some things in the public security, and Zhen Shu has to follow a few generals to ask some advice about leading troops. Dao. After the things here are finished, you can go to Chengzhou with me. There is a special women's university in Chengping, and the dean of the Faculty of Arts has been vacant, which is suitable for you."

If a woman wants to be self-reliant, it is useless to rely on others, the most important thing is to be able to support herself.

If Cai Wenji can serve as the dean of the College of Arts for Women, with an organization, dormitories and guards will also be provided. Living in a women's university will be much safer than outside, and there will be a lot of time to do some research and what you like. matter.

Cai Wenji's eyes that were originally full of sorrow suddenly became full of brilliance.

She needs people to support each other and move forward together. This "needy person" can be a person, an organization, her husband, or a collective.

If she had to choose between the two, she would definitely want the latter more than the former.

Cai Wenji readily agreed, but turned to tell Siqi that her situation is very special, she is an exception, there are still many beautiful loves in the world, I hope the Lord will not be disappointed with the men in the world, and not be discouraged because of her experience, Have the courage to pursue beautiful feelings.

Si Qi responded with a smile.

After welcoming Mrs. Sun back to the mansion, Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun to help manage the family's internal affairs.

This is obviously Liu Bei's affirmation of Zhao Yun's character. After all, he was the one who broke into Cao's army alone and rescued Mrs. Gan and A Dou.

Without Zhao Yun, Liu Bei's only son might not be able to keep it.

Liu Bei's arrangement also made Si Qi wonder whether Zhao Yun was really Liu Xiahui, who was not close to women, that's why Liu Bei was relieved to hand over the entire back house to him.

The people in Liu Bei's back house are not complicated. The people who need Zhao Yun's attention are Mrs. Sun, Adou, and two distinguished guests, King Li and Lord Weng.

Mrs. Sun obviously has her own secrets. She often uses some code words when talking with the maid, and she doesn't welcome other people's "care" very much.

And Gan Shi looked at A Dou like the eyeballs, and took good care of him. A few nurses were by his side every day, and no one else could get in easily.

Zhao Yun's main focus is still on Si Qi and Liu Yun.

A few days later, Siqi developed many rashes on his body due to catkin allergy.

After Liu Bei heard about it, he hurriedly asked Zhao Yun to take the doctor weng lord had found for treatment.

Zhao Yun took Siqi to the best local medical center.

The doctor in the medical clinic is an old man in his 60s with full head of white hair. He looks like he has two brushes, but he still hasn't given Si Qi a cure for the disease. His diagnosis to Si Qi is that this condition is not easy to cure It is better to suggest that the girl should live in another yard.

Zhao Yun took Si Qi out of the medical clinic, frowning, thinking that this person is not very reliable, it is better to go to a few more medical clinics to have a look.

Si Qi said it’s better to forget it, after all, this happened only occasionally, she used to be not allergic to catkins and catkins in Xuchang and Chengping, but the willows in Jingzhou are particularly powerful, I wonder if it’s because of some acclimatization inside.

Zhao Yun still didn't give up, and took Siqi to find several other clinics for treatment, but in the end he still couldn't find a cure.

Si Qi comforted Zhao Yun and said: "It's okay, we have a good medical order in Chengping, and we will ask them to see if there is a good method when we go back."

"Is Mr. Hua Tuo the medical order that Weng Lord is talking about?" Zhao Yundao, "I have often heard people say that Mr. Hua is extremely skilled in medicine. I didn't expect that he is now serving in Weng Lord Wangcheng."

Si Qi proudly said: "Not only Mr. Hua, but now we also have a medical order named Zhang Zhongjing, who is also a rare miracle doctor."

Zhao Yun thinks that Siqi is really good, and the people around him are basically at the peak of what they focus on and are good at.

Hua Tuo's medical skills, Zhou Buyi's intelligence, Zhou Ke's mechanical skills... He didn't know what Zhen Shu's military skills were, but he was the most beautiful young man he had ever seen, and it was easy to take him with him as a bodyguard. Just right.

Si Qi said again: "Mr. Hua and Mr. Zhang are both teaching, and now Cai Wenji has been added as the dean of the liberal arts school of our women's official school. Speaking of which, apart from Chengping, several other counties in Chengzhou have also started to build schools. , I am afraid that there will be insufficient talents..."

Speaking of this, Si Qi raised his head and looked at Zhao Yun with expectant eyes: "Where is the general? Are you interested in coming to our military academy as well?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and said: "Jingzhou is in turmoil during this period, and it is not easy to leave. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ask Lord Weng for advice."

The delivery card he got for helping Chengping Shoucheng last time was cashed out later.The Lord Weng has always been generous, and he even gave them a lot of horses, so that the Lord always looked at him as if he was a cash cow. During that time, he always wanted to send him to Chengping for supplies.

But having said that, he likes Chengping's environment very much, and also likes Weng Zhu's character. If he is sent to Chengping to exchange supplies, he is also willing.

According to the doctor's order, Zhao Yun will change the yard for Si Qi after returning home.

Si Qi struggled, saying that he liked the bed in the original room.

Zhao Yun smiled helplessly, and moved the bed to her again.

After helping Si Qi change the yard and having supper together, it was nearly midnight when Zhao Yun went back to his room for bed.

After sleeping for about two hours, Zhao Yun felt that his whole body was shaking a little. After moving the inkstone on the table a few times, it fell heavily to the ground.

The room shook like this, probably because of an earthquake.

The earthquake was not too severe, and the others were fine, so they could run out of the house quickly, but the Lord moved to a new yard on the first day, so he was very unfamiliar with the place, and now he was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night and woke up, fearing that he would accident.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun sat up, finished changing quickly, and ran towards Siqi's yard.
