Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

After Liu Xie finished her riding and archery class, she was sweating profusely when she ran to the medicine house to find Ah Sheng, she was checking the pulse of Xi Zhicai.

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

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

A Sheng was wearing the blue and white robe of the medical school, looking very refreshing, as if it had a mint scent. "Mr. Xi's body is recovering well. This time, there is no need for transfusion, and it is enough to consolidate it with herbal soup. In fact, you can trust the words of the medical officials in Juancheng, but almonds, platycodon, etc., to reduce phlegm; loquat, Chuanbei, etc. to relieve cough ; Astragalus, Panax notoginseng, etc. to clear the fire, combined with honey. I can't find any new tricks."

Mao saluted sideways: "The medical officers have also taken care of them. But Duke Zhonghua's medicine is more accurate than others. And now that the husband has more free time, he travels to and from Xu County. Relax."

A Sheng smiled slightly, picked up the pen to write the prescription, and heard the voice of Xiao Huangmen beside Liu Xie before he finished writing. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, run slower."

The next is a sound of footsteps from far to near.

"Your Majesty Changle Weiyang." Mao hurriedly leaned over to salute, and even Xi Zhicai, who was leaning on the couch, was not spared.

The little emperor was still wearing a white single shirt inside his riding suit, sweating profusely. He waved his hand like an adult: "Be flat."

A Sheng sat in his seat and did not move, continued to write the prescription, handed it over to the pharmacist to decoct the medicine, and then turned his eyes to Liu Xie: "The medicine house is not the place where Your Majesty should come, If you are sick, you will not get better—what happened to Your Majesty's hand?"

Liu Xie hurriedly hid his hands behind his back and laughed awkwardly.

"Come on, let me take a look." She said softly, but her tone was heavy, and she couldn't tolerate rejection, even if the emperor was on the opposite side.

The little emperor took out his tender hand in aggrieved: "Cao Zi, it hurts."

"This is a 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 you be cut by the bowstring?"

Before Liu Xie spoke, the little yellow door next to him knelt down with a "thump". "Today, His Majesty practiced twenty more arrows, but in the end, he was exhausted and failed to control the string, which is why he was injured."

"You child." Ah Sheng had a black face, ordered someone to fetch water and medicine for gold sores, and personally treated Xiao Liu Xie's wound.

It was probably because her expression was so serious that Xi Zhicai said a good word: "Your Majesty's hard work is also a good thing."

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

"No." Liu Xie snorted twice, and finally told the truth, "I met Prefect Xun Youxun at the shooting range today, and I called him to say a few words."

Asheng applied the medicine to the little boy's hand, even if his hand was sore, he would not let it go. "Two words, and then what?"

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

So it was. Ah Sheng laughed: "I am talented in archery. Horse riding and swordsmanship are just mediocre. Everyone has their own strengths, why should Your Majesty use his weaknesses to compare others' strengths?"

Liu Xie frowned: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I should be more brilliant than my classmates."

Where did this child come from? Is it his own mind, or did someone say something? Is it the royalists who are provoking it, or is it their own tricks? Ah Sheng had already made a series of question marks in his heart, but still calmly coaxed the child on his face. After promising a piece of top-grade pine smoke ink and baking countless cakes, Liu Xie left happily.

Looking at Liu Xie's back, Xi Zhicai smiled meaningfully: "Prince Zhonghua likes children. Since Juancheng has Mrs. Huan, there are more sons under the lord's knees. Why don't Duke Zhonghua adopt one? There will be someone to rely on in the future."

"What's your bad idea? You know I can't adopt my brother's child."

"Is it appropriate for Duke Zhonghua to do this now? After all, he is the emperor. You teach him so well, then we will be passive in the future."

A Sheng closed his eyes, his right hand was already clenched into a fist: "You brought him back then, it's useless for me to object, but it makes A brother unhappy. I was respectful before and now beware, What's the point?"

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "There are priorities. In the four battles of Yanzhou, the lord wants to conquer Yuan Shu, and he has to beware of sneak attacks from Tao Qian and Li Jue. To welcome the emperor, at least the east and west sides did not claim to be emperors. The princes dare not act rashly. As long as they are not attacked by the enemy, and the lord buys time, he can defeat them individually."

"I also know your difficulties, that's why I bothered to build a school to help my brother control Qingyi and monitor old ministers. Yang Biao and others may not know this, but because we treat the emperor sincerely First, the two sides can maintain a harmony." She snorted coldly, "Now do you want me to take back what I promised?"

This 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 too?"

Xi Zhicai coughed twice, took warm water from his wife and poured it several times before he stopped. "Because of the marriage of Cai Yong's daughter. Haven't you heard about Duke Zhong Hua? Now Xu County has gathered so many children from the great clan, and one third of them came to celebrate Duke Cai's marriage. Xun You, after all, he is in the Yingchuan family. It is the highest official position among the sons.”

The sun is westward, and the blazing sun fills the room. Ah Sheng added a spoon of mint and a spoon of borneol to the incense burner, and the slightly cool fragrance filled the tip of his nose, and he suppressed the heat wave.

"Zhao Ji is going to marry, I know. It's a pity that your Majesty's rhythm class has to find a new teacher."

"Master Zhonghua cares about this?" Xi Zhicai felt that the master's sister became more and more unpredictable. But I strongly oppose this marriage!"

"The marriage between the Cai and Wei families was decided when the emperor was there. Cai Yong insisted on his promise, and there is no way to say he was wrong."

Xi Zhicai stood up abruptly: "Is Duke Zhonghua not willing to tell me the truth?"

A Sheng hooked the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "Although Duke Cai is old and famous, his political literacy is too poor."

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

Cai Zhaoji's father, Cai Yong, is indeed a heartless man. For example, Xun Shuang, who shared his troubles and sorrows with him, went to persuade him personally, and he also insisted on his own opinion.

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

Xun Shuang sighed: "But Wei's attitude is ambiguous, even if Cao Gong nodded here, you are not afraid of Zhao Ji's suffering in the past?" Xun Shuang is already an old man in his sixties. Take good medicine to support, I am afraid that the lifespan will only be in these few years. However, the old people are old, and they have to worry about these old friends.

Cai Yong clapped his hands: "That's it. There are so many families in the country, you have me, I have you. Don't say Meng De and Yuan Benchu ​​are close, just say your family , isn't there a friend who is also a military adviser in Yuan Shao's tent? I just married my daughter to the Wei family, who is friendly with the Yuan family. She is a woman and has nothing to do with these things. "

"A Chen," Xun Shuang opened his mouth, probably because he mentioned Xun Chen, he was also excited, "A Chen would be better off in Yuan Shao's tent. Although he is not as good as A Yu, A You is excellent, being a county is worthwhile, but now, you have to be careful when speaking in front of Yuan Shao. Bo Zhao, if you want to leave a way for your daughter, you should also look at this way. Let's go!"

Now, I can't delay it any longer. If the marriage contract of the Wei family is ruined, and the other men who are recruited under Meng De's account are all vulgar warriors, how can they talk to me? I have no children, only this one daughter, If you are good at poetry and books, and are good at rhythm, don't 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, and Cai Yong had not recovered. He was also a little uneasy by the attitudes of the people around him, and with a grimacing face, he went around to find his daughter Cai Zhaoji.

Zhao Ji is playing the piano. Between a girl and a woman, she has a graceful figure and elegant posture. With the melodious sound of the piano, she is really like a fairy. Even though her appearance is only medium-to-high, the bookish air that blows towards her face completely elevates her seven-point beauty to ten.

Cai Yong circled around the table where her daughter played the piano. "Duke Cao only sent Xun You and Guo Jia to congratulate you. Xun Shuang said that Wei's family was not right, and even Cao Sheng said that he could stay with you for a few more years. I'm really at a loss as a father."

"In fact, every time I see Cao Sheng, I feel that even if you don't get married, you can live a good life in Xu County. We have to respect you when we come here, and our family has no shortage of money... When we are old, you can see that Cao Sheng has no guards and disciples. Look at anyone's face. Zhao Ji, what do you think?"

After Cai Zhaoji finished playing the piece, she frowned slightly: "For a woman like Duke Zhonghua, only Duke Zhonghua has appeared for thousands of years. We only see her beauty, How do you know it's not easy for her?"

"Where did you start?"

Zhao Ji bowed in the direction of the academy, and then whispered: "Father, Duke Zhonghua is indeed full of fame, power, and money, and is a hundred times better than a man. But the daughter criticized it. The superior said, she is empty in the bottom of her knees and has nothing to rely on, otherwise she would not have to put all her heart and soul into your Majesty. The ministers in the court only thought that Duke Zhonghua was loyal, but he did not know when His Majesty was acting like a spoiled child to Duke Zhonghua... I I have never seen Duke Zhonghua smile 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 was going to write about Liu Bei Hexi, but it turned out to be long before I knew it, so the next chapter.

Cao Cao and Cai Yong are old friends. Historically, Cai Wenji was 1-2 years older than Cao Ang, and similar in age to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
