When Liu Xie finished his riding and archery class and was sweating profusely, he went to the medicine house to find Ah Sheng, who was checking Xi Zhicai's pulse.

Xi Zhicai has already grown flesh.Except for a few light coughs from time to time, and a slightly sallow complexion, he looked no different from ordinary people.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, probably because of the relief food this year, there are more birds chirping outside the house.Most of them have finally escaped from the human pot and bowl, and have room to sing courtship songs in the treetops.

Ah Sheng was wearing the bluish-white gown of the medical school, looking very refreshing, as if it had a mint scent. "Mr. Xi's body is recovering well. There is no need for infusion this time, just use herbal soup to strengthen it. In fact, sir, you can trust the medical officials in Juancheng. Almonds, platycodon grandiflorum, etc. are the only things to reduce phlegm; loquat, Chuanbei, etc. to relieve cough ; Astragalus, Panax notoginseng, etc. clear fire, combined with honey. I can't find any new tricks."

Mao made a sideways salute: "The medical officers are also taking good care of them. But Mr. Zhonghua's medication is more precise than others. Besides, my husband has a lot of free time now, so going to Xu County should be a relaxation."

Ah Sheng smiled slightly, picked up a pen to write the prescription, and before he finished writing, he heard the voice of the little yellow door beside Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, run slowly."

Then came the sound of footsteps from far to near.

"Your Majesty is always happy." Mao quickly bowed and saluted, even Xi Zhicai, who was leaning on the couch, was not spared.

The little emperor was still wearing a white singlet under his riding clothes, sweating profusely.He waved his hands like an adult: "Let's all get flat."

Ah Sheng sat on his seat without moving, continued to finish writing the prescription, handed it to the medicine boy to decoct the medicine, and then turned his gaze to Liu Xie: "The medicine house is not the place where His Majesty should come, after you get sick, you will be fine—" —What happened to His Majesty's hand?"

Liu Xie quickly hid his hands behind his back, laughing awkwardly.

"Come, let me take a look." She said softly, but her tone was heavy, and no one could refuse, even if it was the emperor.

Only then did the little emperor take out his tender hand aggrievedly: "Cao Zi, it hurts."

"This is the wound cut by the bowstring." She glanced at Liu Xie in surprise, "It's not the first day for your Majesty to practice archery. How could he be cut by the bowstring?"

Before Liu Xie could speak, the little yellow door next to him knelt down with a "plop". "Your Majesty practiced twenty more arrows today, but at the end he was exhausted and couldn't control the string. That's why he was injured."

"You child." With a black face, Ah Sheng ordered someone to fetch water and golden sore medicine, and personally treated little Liu Xie's wound.

Probably because of her serious expression, Xi Zhicai even said something nice: "It's a good thing Your Majesty works hard."

"No matter how hard you work, the bottom line is not to hurt your body." Ah Sheng sighed, and patted Liu Xie's head, "You don't like archery on weekdays, why did you practice more today? But you got angry with your classmates?"

"No." Liu Xie muttered twice, and finally told the truth, "Today I met Governor Xun You in the shooting range, and I summoned him to say a few words."

Ah Sheng applied medicine to the little boy's hand, even though his hand was throbbing with pain, he would not let it go. "Say a few words, and then?"

"I heard that Cao Zi was very good at shooting when he was young. I, I can't embarrass Cao Zi."

It turned out to be like this.Ah Sheng laughed: "I am talented in archery. Horseback riding and swordsmanship are mediocre. Everyone has their own strengths. Why does Your Majesty use your own weaknesses to compare others' strengths?"

Liu Xie wrinkled his small face: "I am the emperor, so I should be more outstanding than my classmates."

Where did this kid get his idol baggage?Is he thinking too much, or did someone say something?Was it provoked by the royalist party or caused by one of our own people?Ah Sheng already had a series of question marks in his heart, but he still coaxed the child calmly.After promising a piece of top-grade pine smoke ink and baking countless pastries, Liu Xie left happily.

Looking at Liu Xie's back, Xi Zhicai smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Zhonghua likes children. Ever since Mrs. Huan was born in Juancheng, there have been more sons under the lord's knees. Why don't Mr. Zhonghua adopt one? There will be someone to rely on in the future.”

"What kind of bad idea is this? You know I can't adopt brother's child."

"Is it appropriate for Mr. Zhonghua to be like this now? After all, he is the emperor. If you teach him too well, then we will be passive in the future."

Ah Sheng closed his eyes, and his right hand was already clenched into a fist: "You guys brought him here at the beginning, it was useless for me to object, but it made my brother unhappy. What's the point of being respectful before but now being wary?"

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly: "There are priorities. In Yanzhou's fourth battle, the lord wanted to conquer Yuan Shu, and he had to beware of sneak attacks from behind by Tao Qian and Li Jue. To welcome the emperor, at least the princes who did not claim to be emperors on the east and west did not dare to act rashly. As long as it is not Facing enemies from the front and rear, the lord can defeat them one by one if he buys time."

"I also know your difficulties. That's why I took the trouble to build a school to help my brother control the discussion and monitor the old ministers. Yang Biao and others may not know this, but because we treat the emperor with sincerity first, the two sides can maintain a harmonious relationship." " She snorted coldly, "Now you want me to take back what I promised?"

Talking here is a dead end.Seeing that the room was silent for several minutes, Ah Sheng took the initiative to change the subject. "Why is Xun Gongda here?"

Xi Zhicai coughed twice, took several mouthfuls of warm water from his wife, and then stopped. "Because of the marriage of Cai Yong's daughter. Didn't Duke Zhonghua hear about it? Now that there are so many descendants of rich families gathered in Xu County, one-third of them came to celebrate the marriage of Cai Gong's daughter. Xun You, after all, he is in the Yingchuan family He is considered to be the highest official among the sons."

The sun is westward, and the blazing sunlight fills the room.Ah Sheng added a spoonful of mint and a spoonful of ice flakes to the incense burner, and immediately the slightly cool scent filled the tip of his nose, suppressing the heat wave.

"Zhaoji is going to marry, I know. It's a pity that His Majesty has to find a new teacher for the rhythm class."

"Duke Zhonghua cares about this?" Xi Zhicai felt that the lord's younger sister was becoming more and more unpredictable, "It's not been a day or two since the Hedong Wei family and the Yuan family flirted with each other. My lord strongly opposes this marriage! "

"The marriage between Cai and Wei was a matter of the late emperor. Cai Yong insisted on his promise, so there is no way to say he was wrong."

Xi Zhicai stood up suddenly: "Mr. Zhonghua won't tell me the truth?"

Ah Sheng hooked the corners of his mouth, and said slowly: "Although Mr. Cai is old and famous, his political accomplishment is too poor."

To put it crudely, it is called lack of heart.

Cai Zhaoji's father, Cai Yong, is indeed a careless person.For example, Xun Shuang, who was in trouble with him, went to persuade him personally, but he also insisted on his own opinion.

"I have also been friends with Meng De for many years. He knows that I am a man, and I am definitely not a collaborator." Cai Yong said.

Xun Shuang sighed: "But Wei's attitude is ambiguous. Even if Cao Gong nods here, you are not afraid that Zhao Ji will suffer in the past?" Xun Shuang is already an old man in his 60s. The number is in these years.However, I am old, and I have to worry about these old friends.

Cai Yong clapped his hands: "That's the point there. There are so many families in the country, I am among you, and you are among me. Not to mention the close relationship between Meng De and Yuan Benchu, just say your family, there is also a friend in Yuan Shao Serving as a military adviser in the tent? I just married my daughter to the Wei family who is friendly with the Yuan family, she is a woman, so she has nothing to do with these things, and it has reached the point you said."

"Ah Chen," Xun Shuang opened his mouth, probably because of the mention of Xun Chen, he also became excited, "Ah Chen will be better off in Yuan Shao's tent. Although he is not as good as A Yu and A You, he is a county. It's worth it, but now, even a word has to be cautious in front of Yuan Shao. You, uncle, you want to leave a way out for your daughter, and you have to see if it's a good way to go!"

Cai Yong immediately yelled: "The world is a lesson, I don't want to stay behind! I see Wei's son Lang Pianpian, a gentleman with great talent, and he is a good match. Zhao Ji is gone, so I can't delay any longer. If Wei is destroyed The marriage contract of my family, I found Meng De's account, they are all rough and vulgar warriors, how can I talk to my son? I have no children under my knees, and this is the only daughter who can understand poetry and music. Let her marry into a scholarly family, in my heart..."

Xun Shuang: "Farewell."

When Xun Shuang left, the tea soup on the reception table was cold, but Cai Yong still hadn't recovered.He was also a little uneasy by the attitude of the people around him, so he walked around looking for his daughter Cai Zhaoji with a sad face.

Zhao Ji is playing the piano.The figure between a girl and a woman is graceful, her posture is elegant, and accompanied by the melody of the piano, she is really like a fairy.Even though her appearance was only above average, the bookish air that rushed to her face completely raised her beauty from seven points to ten points.

Cai Yong circled around the table where his daughter was playing the piano. "Mr. Cao only sent Xun You and Guo Jia to congratulate him. Xun Shuang said that the Wei family was inappropriate, and even Cao Sheng said he could keep you for a few more years. I am really at a loss as a father."

"Actually, every time I see Cao Sheng, I feel that even if you don't get married, you can live comfortably in Xu County. After all, you have taught His Majesty and the princes to play the piano and write poems. Any family will respect you. We My family is not short of money... When I get older, look at Cao Sheng, who has no guards and disciples, everyone has to be called Zhonghua Gong, and he is also a family, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face. Ji, what do you think?"

After Cai Zhaoji played the song, she frowned slightly: "For a woman like Duke Zhonghua, only Duke Zhonghua has been born in the past thousand years. We only see her beautiful scenery, how can we know how difficult it is for her?"

"Where did this come from?"

Zhaoji bowed in the direction of the school, and then whispered: "Father, Mr. Zhonghua is indeed full of fame, power, and money, and he is a hundred times better than a man. But my daughter criticizes the superior. After all, she is empty. , have nothing to rely on, otherwise there is no need to bet all your heart and soul on His Majesty. The ministers of the court only think that Zhonghua Gong is loyal, but they don't know when His Majesty acts like a baby to Zhonghua Gong... I have never seen Zhonghua Gong like that. laughed like that."

Cai Zhaoji sat upright and resumed her normal voice: "My daughter still wants a child of her own."

The author has something to say: I originally planned to write about Liu Bei's congratulations, but it ended up being too long, so let's go to the next chapter.

Cao Cao and Cai Yong are old friends. Historically, Cai Wenji was 1-2 years older than Cao Ang, and was about the same age as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
