Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao went south to fight against Sun Quan this time. Both sides won and lost, but overall they didn't get any cheap.

Cao Cao couldn't attack, and Sun Quan also fought very hard.

In the end, Sun Quan, whose relationship with Liu Bei gradually broke down, chose to take a step back, surrendered to Cao Cao, expressed his loyalty, and expressed his willingness to submit to the court.

This battle has been fought intermittently for a year, and it has also attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Chen Xing and others who are far away in Chengping have also been paying attention to this matter.

The news of the end of the war came back to Chengping on the second day. Chen Xing took an application report that he rushed out that night to find Siqi, hoping to set up a branch of Chengzhou Military Academy in Yuyang, build a naval base, and train high-quality soldiers. Cheng Ping Shuijun.

Si Qi felt that Chen Xing's brain circuit was a bit strange, but he still agreed to his request.

After all, in the early years, she also thought about training the navy well and going to Jiangdong to study. There have been many things in the past few years, and the promotion of the imperial examination has taken up too much time and energy, and she forgot for a while. Make promises.

Fortunately, the implementation of the imperial examination system has been very smooth recently. After Siqi returned from the disaster relief trip to He'an, he found that the implementation of the imperial examination system in Chengzhou had made great progress.

Both Xun Yu and Guo Jia put in a lot of effort.

Everyone is really smart, they do things well, and the results are beyond her imagination.

Don’t forget the well digger when you drink water. As far as this matter is concerned, Cao Cao gave her a lot of manpower and material support and policy preference. Siqi asked Chen Xing to write another report to Cao Cao, introducing in detail the implementation of the imperial examination system in Chengzhou. The process, experience, effectiveness and detours we have gone through are recommended for Cao Cao to promote nationwide.

As for whether Cao Cao will listen to it, how much he listens to, and how to promote it, I don't know.

A few days later, Siqi received a letter from Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang wrote in the letter that since she divorced Liu Bei, she has been depressed and confused for a long time, and she has not written to Si Qi often to contact her.

Just last year, when Cao Cao sent his army south, she also helped drill a female army to support brother. Although it was useless in the end, she finally got rid of the previous depression during that time and found her own life. better way.

She began to miss Si Qi and Cheng Ping. Some time ago, Cao Cao and Jiang Dong were fighting like a raging fire. On the one hand, she was worried about her elder brother and Jiang Dong, and on the other hand, she thought that Si Qi was still working under Cao Cao. Si Qi was in a dilemma.

Sun Shangxiang asked at the end of the letter, fortunately now that the war is finally over, and Jiangbei and Jiangdong have also shaken hands to make peace, I wonder if it is appropriate for me to come to Chengping and join Siqi now?

Chengzhou is facing the sea in the east, and it has natural advantages to practice the navy and the navy. Siqi recalled what Chen Xing said about training the navy, and hurriedly wrote back to Sun Shangxiang, saying that he would go to Jiangdong in the near future and pick her up at that time It's even easier to come back.

By the way to study and study.

The news that Siqi was planning to go to Jiangdong spread like wildfire, and the people who signed up this time and wanted to go out with Siqi were still very enthusiastic.

Si Qi analyzed that as Cao Zhi's son, Cao Cao and Jiangdong have been at odds for so many years, for Cao Zhi's safety and the harmony of this trip, it is better not to bring it.

However, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia were all under Cao Cao's seat in the past, and they had a close relationship with Yecheng. They had more or less ideas against Jiangdong in the past, and it felt a little unfavorable to follow the past at this time.

Si Qi thought about it, and in the end he only chose Zhen Shu, Liu Yun and Cai Wenji to accompany him to Jiangdong, while the others stayed behind in Chengping.

Now is the busy season of farming, and Chengzhou is a big agricultural state. During this season, there are a lot of things, and Liu Yun is especially busy. Several professors from the Agricultural College also followed His Royal Highness Li Wang outside the fields and turned into black charcoal.

Si Qi planned to leave one month later, heading south along the way, passing through Yecheng, Xuchang, Jingzhou, and finally arriving at Jiangdong Jianye, which was considered a completed trip.

Before Siqi set off, he first received letters from Sun Quan and Sun Shao.

Sun Shao was very happy to hear from his aunt Sun Shangxiang that Siqi was about to go to Jiangdong, so he specially sent this letter to express his happiness.

Sun Quan's letter was not too long, and the number of words was not too many, but it expressed a warm welcome to Si Qi between the lines.

Si Qi really didn't expect that the big boss would personally write a letter to welcome him.

Now she has stayed in both Cao Cao's and Liu Bei's lands, and has seen the customs and customs of the two places, but Jiangdong has not set foot yet.After receiving letters from Sun Quan and Sun Shao, Si Qi became more and more looking forward to this trip to Jiangdong.

Before Si Qi left, he received letters from Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Cao Cao also heard about Siqi's itinerary for this trip from Cao Zhi, so he wrote a special letter, asking Siqi to bring Cao Zhi, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You and others to Yecheng for a gathering.

Si Qi didn't know what Cao Cao's intention was, so he could only infer that the other party might miss some of the old troops.

Then there is a letter from Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is the most enthusiastic and approachable of the three big brothers. At the beginning of the letter, he greeted her father, grandmother, brother, sister-in-law and Xun Yu and several other elders, and thanked her for the weapons and horses she provided. He played a very active role in the battle between him and Liu Zhang.

Maybe it's because the fight against Liu Zhang went very well recently, Liu Bei seemed to be in a very good mood, and the tone of the letter was also very cheerful--Didn't you say that you want to borrow Zhao Yun, my niece, come on, dear Aying, come quickly Let Jingzhou visit your uncle and me. If you still have this intention, you can take our little General Zhao away~

Si Qi collected three letters from the boss at the same time, and gnawed on a large pear with excellent water quality under the envious eyes of his father Liu Yun.

So sweet!

The first stop of this trip is still Yecheng.

Sure enough, as Si Qi expected, Cao Cao really missed Xun Yu and the others, and wanted to sit down with them, warm a pot of hot wine, and chat about the past, life, and future together.

Thanks to the blessings of several gentlemen, Liu Yun followed them to the front, and Si Qi went to the back to sit with Madam Bian, Zhen Mi, Liu Qin, Queen Guo and other female relatives.

Mrs. Bian was as gentle and warm to Si Qi as ever: "I know you have been very busy these years, and I haven't seen you much. It is rare that you came to Yecheng this time to get together. I remember when I was in Xuchang, I have been most speculative with your grandmother Mrs. Zhang Tai, and it has been many years since I saw you, I really miss you."

These two people were not born in aristocratic families, and they both fought wits and courage with the royal family all the way here. They had always been a topic of conversation when they were in Xuchang, and their relationship was not bad compared to other clans and wives of aristocratic families.Later, because of the fallout between the family and Cao Cao, the Zhang family was annoyed by the Bian family and Cao Cao for a while, and after Cao Cao gave Beiping County to Liu Yun as a fief, the original estrangement disappeared.

Si Qi saw that when Bian said this, he had a somewhat lonely expression on his face, so he knew it was true.

Now that the Zhang family has gone to Chengping, when they are happy with their grandchildren, they will also think of many past events in Xuchang, of which the Bian family also occupies a large part.

Si Qi smiled at Mrs. Bian and said, "Grandmother always misses my wife at home, and my two sister-in-laws and I often talk about the good things we did with my wife in Xuchang, and I often think about the children under my second elder brother's knees. , Ziwen (Cao Zhang's character)'s marriage and Zijian's homework, Zhidao's second elder brother has the style of a king, Ziwen is good at martial arts, and Zijian is good at literature. Forced to go out of a mountain, this time I came here and specifically told me to bring some Chengzhou soil rituals and seafood to my wife."

There is no mother who doesn't like to hear people praise her children, and Bian's is the same. Although she is humble in her mouth, she still can't hide the joy in the corners of her eyes and brows, and she is even more enthusiastic towards Siqi.

Liu Qin and Si Qi had a good relationship since they were young, and this time they were placed on Si Qi's right hand.

A few days ago, Si Qi received letters from the young couple respectively, and found out that Liu Qin was pregnant.Although Liu Qin didn't talk much, and sat very quietly at the banquet, he could still see that he was quite proud in the mansion, and the Bian family took great care of her. Apart from taking into account Siqi's taste, all the dishes at the banquet were Liu Qin's favorite. s things.

Mrs. Bian arranged a seat for Queen Guo, but she didn't sit down. She stood by and waited on Mrs. Bian and Zhen Mi.

But even so, she was still neither humble nor overbearing, she faced everyone with a smile, and her face was filled with the joy of receiving guests from afar, which made people look very festive.

And Zhen Mi was sitting by the side, dressed in silk and a high bun in a luxurious dress, with a haggard face that couldn't be concealed, and a forced smile, and her mind was distracted from time to time while sitting at the table.

Si Qi has been paying attention to Zhen Mi, and found that after this meal, she barely ate a few bites, and her slender figure has become thinner and thinner now.

After returning to the residence, Si Qi was still a little worried, so he sent someone to invite Zhen Shu, and told him what he saw about Zhen Mi.

Over the years, Zhen Mi has always reported good news but not bad news in her letters, and Zhen Shu never thought that sister's condition is so bad now.

Si Qi made a decisive decision and asked Zhen Shu to stay with Zhen Mi in Yecheng for a period of time. If he found something wrong with Zhen Mi, he could write to her, and then they would study and negotiate with Cao Pi.

Zhen Shu complied.

Si Qi lived relatively less in Yecheng, and had no more bonds and playmates than Xu Chang.Si Qi lived in Yecheng for two days, and after meeting Boss Cao, he thought about leaving for Xuchang.

Cao Cao didn't agree with Siqi and Liu Yun to leave immediately, and insisted on asking her, Liu Yun, Cai Wenji, and Cao Zhi to visit the built Tongque Terrace.

Alarm bells rang in Si Qi's mind.

According to historical records, Cao Cao built Tongque, Jinhu, and Bingjing and called them "Ye Santai", which is the birthplace of Jian'an literature. 【1】

Back then when Tongque Terrace was in its prime, Si Qi had heard from both Cai Wenji and Cao Zhi that when Boss Cao solemnly invited them to Tongque Terrace, Si Qi suddenly had an ominous premonition.

When he visited Tongque Terrace, Cao Cao became very popular with poetry. After he wrote two poems first, he asked his fellows to compose poems. Cai Wenji and Cao Zhi are experts in this field, so they don’t have to worry about it. Liu Yun has always called himself a literati these years. With the experience of farming again, he accidentally came up with two good poems with an idyllic flavor, and won the leader in one fell swoop.

Driven by such an atmosphere, Si Qi also racked his brains to compose two poems. He felt that all the brain cells were mobilized, which was even more tiring than the exam for the gold medal in the five-province joint exam.

After Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei, the emperor took the ten counties under Jizhou as his fiefs, and Cao Cao still allowed him to continue to serve as prime minister and concurrently serve as Jizhou shepherd. 【2】

Now Yecheng has become Cao Cao's administrative seat, and the urban construction has reached a new level. Cao Cao, as the lord of the fief, has also built a new "Wei Gong Mansion", but he has not yet moved in. At this time, he took Si Qi and others to take a look .

Cao Cao and Meimei are both online, so bringing them over to my new house at this time naturally meant to hear their compliments.

After the Tongquetai Poetry Contest just now, Siqi has run out of words, and now he has to change his way to say good things. Although the construction here is really good, it is both classical and elegant, and it also has a bit of Boss Cao's unique style. The domineering style is not against my will when I praise it, but it is still a big test for Si Qi at this time.

Si Qi winked at Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi understood.

After getting along for so many days, the two had already reached a tacit understanding. After drinking three glasses of wine, Cao Zhi wrote a long fu on the spot.

Cao Zhi's long poem amazed everyone present, and Boss Cao was one of them.

Until the beginning of the banquet, the topic of the people did not leave Cao Zhi's long poem, and no amount of praise could express the approval in everyone's hearts, and Si Qi was finally relieved...

Thanks Cao Zhi!
