Time back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Yong and Zhao Wuniang are very affectionate, but after marriage has not come out, one day, Zhao Wuniang dreamed that a senior monk gave her an orchid seed, no coincidence is not a book, soon Zhao Wuniang is really pregnant, the next summer, a baby girl was born in the Cai family, Cai Yong named her daughter Cai Yan, the word Wenji, the milk name Lan'er. At this point, the story of a generation of literary artists whose talent overshadowed their beauty has begun.
Her father, Cai Yong, had high hopes for her, hoping that she could inherit the Cai family's generations of proficient literary and ink wind bones, and when Cai Wenji grabbed the week in a hundred days, as her father wished, she grasped a brush passed down from the Cai family.
At that time, the eunuchs were in charge, and Cai Yong wrote a letter requesting that the eunuchs be punished, but unexpectedly they were framed and imprisoned by the eunuch Cao Jie and others, and the family was exiled to the border cities of northern Xinjiang.
Fortunately, the local county made Zhou Yue an official Qingzheng, and he had listened to Cai Yong's lectures when he was studying in Taixue in his early years, and he had great respect for Cai Yong. In order to prevent Cao Jie and others from continuing to harm, the county ordered the Enshi family to settle down in the grassland and avoid hard labor.
A year later, he received amnesty from the imperial court and returned to Beijing to continue organizing the compilation of the historical classic "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".
When passing through Wuyuan County, the local Taishou Wang Zhi, a relative of the eunuch who had previously framed Cai Yong, was tripped by Wang Zhi and had to take a detour to taishan's friend to escape the disaster.
In this way, Cai Yong's family lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, and their lives were clean, and Xiao Wenji slowly grew up among the mountains and trees.
At the age of four, her father began to teach her poetry and song, and soon Cai Yong found that her daughter had a superiority, and every time Xiao Wenji seemed to be concentrating on playing, but after he recited a poem, her daughter could repeat it word for word.
At the age of seven, Cai Wenji, with this super talent for memory, was already able to recite many of her father's previous articles. The father began to teach his daughter calligraphy again. In fact, the later calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, if you want to delve deeper, is from Cai Yong.
When he was ten years old, the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the evening Cai Wenji listened to her mother tell the story of Houyi and Chang'e in the room, her father played the piano in the moonlight outside the house, suddenly the string broke, Cai Wenji went straight to her father to get the string, the mouth said that the second root was broken, the family was all shocked, Cai Yong was even more surprised, so he taught all he had learned in his life to his daughter.
In the blink of an eye, Cai Yong's family had been living in this deep mountain for ten years, and they could have spent their days leisurely in this green mountain and green water, but dong Zhuo's appearance broke everything that was calm.
After Emperor Ling's death, the fourteen-year-old crown prince Liu Xuan succeeded to the throne, and Dong Zhuo, who was already in the position of Sikong at this time, had long wanted to replace the Han family with the world, so he threatened to invite Cai Yong, who was full of fame, out of the mountains in order to attract the people under the heavens to serve him.
Cai Yong knew that he was going to be more vicious than Ji Shao, and in order to protect his daughter Zhou Quan, Cai Yong and Zhao Wuniang went to Luoyang together, and the nursing mother took Cai Wenji to her hometown in Yuancheng, and then took her daughter to be reunited after she was safe in the future.
But at this time, I have not yet known that this difference will be eternal.
Dong Zhuo was fierce and self-conscious, and eventually attracted the guandong to surround him, so he threatened emperor xian to move to Chang'an.
After Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, he acted perversely, arousing the indignation of the people, and the call to denounce Dong Zhuo grew louder and louder, Wang Yun and Lü Bu used the beauty plan, first giving the mink cicada to Dong Zhuo, waiting for him to relax his vigilance, and then using the zen position to lure Dong Zhuo into the palace and remove Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's death implicated Cai Yong, who was reluctant to go out of the mountains to be with Dong Zhuo from the beginning, but was forced to follow in order to protect his family, and in order to eliminate Dong Zhuo's Yu Party, the 61-year-old Cai Yong was forced to die in prison, and Zhao Wuniang was heartbroken and died in Chang'an.
Since then, in this great human world, fifteen-year-old Cai Wenji has no father or mother.
The pain of life and death was slowly smoothed out with the passage of time, just like that, the ordinary days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was sixteen years old, and in this year, the young Cai Wenji met the first man in her life, Wei Zhongdao.
Wei Zhongdao came from Hedong, only to study single-mindedly, to learn the true transmission of Cai Yong's calligraphy, so that day, Cai Wenji, who was walking by the river, met this man who asked her about Cai Wenji, she asked him the reason, she did not immediately reveal to him that he was the Cai Wenji he was looking for, but helped him lead the way back to the Cai family, wei Zhongdao, who realized in hindsight, suddenly realized at this time that the woman he met was the talented woman Cai Wenji who wanted to find, and she was very happy, Cai Wenji saw that he was a bookish person, and he was gentle and studious, similar to her age. It was very talkative, so I agreed to teach him calligraphy, and in this way, the two often studied calligraphy together and played and played.
At the age of sixteen, they will travel thousands of miles for love, and they can meet people who are in harmony with each other, everything is as predestined, they fall in love with each other, so Cai Wenji followed Wei Zhongdao to marry Hedong, which is today's Dingxian County, Shanxi.
Although the in-laws are not rich, they can also learn to read, Cai Wenji also slowly learned to cook and go out to work, the in-laws and husbands are very fond of her, the days are ordinary and happy, but at that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters, wars and chaos, and drought raged, many people were displaced, starved all over the field, the newlywed husband Wei Zhongdao was also unable to escape this difficulty, hunger and disease, marriage only a few months before the death. Cai Wenji was sad and unbearable, she thought that her parents had died, fortunately met Wei Zhongdao, and gave her a warm home, but the sky did not go according to people's wishes, and her young husband was separated by less than a year after marriage.
The mother-in-law could not bear cai Wenji to accompany them at such a young age, so she let Cai Wenji go home and reunite with the fourth lady.
In less than a year, after experiencing the pain of a lover's farewell, Cai Wenji returned to Yuanxian County, and did not go out of the gate all day, relying on the fourth lady for her life.
I thought that I would live in peace and silence like this, however, the world is uncertain, and there are still greater bumps in the road ahead waiting for Cai Wenji.
Soon, the Xiongnu invaded the south, and in the chaos of the war, Cai Wenji met the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, who liked Han culture, had some bookish anger on his body, and fell in love with Cai Wenji at first sight, so he wanted to take Cai Wenji back to the Xiongnu. The soldiers were chaotic and displaced, she was homeless, and king Zuo Xian had the courage and strategy to be a hero supported by everyone, and he was also sincere to her, so Cai Wenji made a decision to leave her homeland and go to another country with King Zuo Xian.
King Zuo xian respected Cai Wenji very much and knew that she was keeping filial piety, so three years later, he held a big marriage with Cai Wenji, and this year, the 21-year-old Cai Wenji married the Xiongnu King Zuo Xian.
Cai Wenji, who grew up in northern Xinjiang due to changes in childhood, soon adapted to the environment of the desert, and King Zuoxian was a kind, lovely, and respectable person in her eyes, who could enjoy tea and poetry together on weekdays, play the piano and go hunting, and the two also gave birth to a pair of children, in this way, Cai Wenji's life gradually settled down.
It seems that a peaceful life is a rare gift from heaven, and if you are not careful, it will disappear, and many years later, Cai Wenji's fate has taken another turn because of Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao unified the north, he wanted to recruit talents from all over the world and take back Cai Wenji, Cai Yong's only daughter, so he sent Dong Qi to the Xiongnu and redeem Cai Wenji with heavy money.
In the twelve years of the desert, Cai Wenji must have missed her hometown very much, and she wanted to help her father fulfill his lifelong wish and continue to write the Book of Han. As for Zuo Xianwang, his identity determined that he could not be selfish, and for the sake of Hu Han's good neighborliness and friendship, he could not selfishly leave Cai Wenji. Shan Yu of the Xiongnu had already promised the emissary Dong Qi to let Cai Wenji return to Han, and Zhao Siniang decided to continue to stay in the desert to take care of her children in order to let Cai Wenji return to show her grand plans.
Cai Wenji, who had lived in the Xiongnu for twelve years, once again embarked on the journey back to her hometown. Fortunately, Dong Qi had studied under his father Cai Yong, so he and Cai Wenji were old acquaintances, Dong Qi took Cai Wenji back to Han, along the way encountered thieves, he protected each other with his life, in fact, in the early years, Dong Qi had been devoted to the erudite Cai Wenji, and now he can take her back to his hometown, which is really a mixture of feelings.
After returning to Han, Cai Wenji relied on her memory to recite more than 400 of her father's works, and Cao Cao sent Dong Qi to assist Cai Wenji in continuing to write Cai Yong's posthumous work "Book of Han", and in six years, the two worked together to continue to write the "Book of Han" and write a biography for Wei Gong. The two have known each other since their father was alive and can talk about many old things about each other on weekdays.
When Dong Qi gave Cao Cao the biography of Duke Wei, he was actually convicted and imprisoned for it, because Cao Cao was dissatisfied with the fact that the biography was written in his brutal killing side. After Hearing this, Cai Wenji went barefoot and went alone to reason, righteous words, and reasoning, Cao Cao was finally persuaded, pardoned Dong Qi, the weather was severe, and gave Cai Wenji turbans, shoes and socks.
After experiencing the hardships of life and death, Dong Qi finally told his feelings, Cai Wenji and Dong Qi in the years of co-writing books, day and night, but also have feelings for him, in this way, thirty-six-year-old Cai Wenji married the third man in her life, young acquaintance, many years later met again, and finally became a family.
King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu died on the battlefield, and Zhao Siniang also died, and one of Cai Wenji's sons and daughters was finally taken to Handu.
Cai Wenji wanted her children to devote themselves to study, so she resigned with Dong Qi, and the family returned to the mountains and forests, at which point Cai Wenji was able to live in peace, and the people she loved were also around.
This is Cai Wenji's life!
