Chapter 43 The thousand-year-old pipa and the thousand-year-old kite
When he returned to Cai Yong's Mansion, Qin Shao had already left.
After all, he is only here to deliver pork, and if he stays too long, he will definitely attract the attention of others.
In the intelligence industry, prudence is the most important thing.
After Xia Hou'an learned about it, he didn't say anything, anyway, he would live in Chang'an City in the future, and he would have time to meet.
During dinner, Cai Yong asked with a smile: "I heard that the Bus Department recommended you to Shangshutai?"
This little old man is very well-informed...... Xiahou An nodded and said, "The kid didn't go."
"Why?"
Cai Yong wondered, Shangshutai is an important position, even if it is a small house, it is not an idle person who can be in it.
Xia Hou'an also told the truth about this: "Uncle Cai, you know the kid, I have a very strong temperament, and I can't bear it the most, how can I stand sitting at the desk every day, facing stacks of case files."
Hearing Xiahou'an say this, Cai Yong was not surprised.
After getting along for so many days, in addition to looking like a scholar, Xiahou'an's other behaviors are indeed not very much like a scholar of Confucianism, and even some scoundrels.
"The kid was later sent to the Yulin Army and served as Yulin Lang."
Xiahou An handed over his talisman.
Cai Yong took it and nodded slightly, Yu Linlang is not bad.
With the Son of Heaven, if you perform well, you can still win the favor of the Son of Heaven.
Moreover, whether it is a senior member in the imperial court or a local county guard, he must have the experience of a Lang official before he can be appointed.
This is an indispensable premise.
After dinner.
When he was about to go to bed, Xia Houan knocked on Cai Yong's door.
"Uncle, are you asleep?"
Xia Hou'an stood outside the door and asked in a low voice.
After a while, Cai Yong's familiar voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Xiahouan gently pushed the door in.
In the room, Cai Yong was only wearing an undershirt and a coat, with a thin body and squinting old eyes, reading by candlelight at the desk with candlelight.
Today's Cai Yong has long been a famous Confucian in the country, so famous, but not forgetting to study diligently, this spirit of endless learning, is really worth learning for all readers.
No wonder people are Confucians!
Xiahou admired with peace of mind, and after going up and bowing down, he explained his intention: "Uncle, I have been bothering in the house for many days, and the kid will be ready to leave the house tomorrow, so I specially came to tell you to be old."
Hearing this, Cai Yong looked slightly stunned, stopped the action of flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand, and turned his gaze sideways.
To be honest, he likes this kid a lot, his appearance is eye-catching, his temperament is straightforward, he never beats around the bush, and his heart is also excellent.
Now that he is suddenly leaving, Cai Yong is still a little reluctant.
Xiahou An didn't notice the change in the little old man's mood, and continued: "The kid knows that the time he has lived in the mansion has caused you a lot of trouble. Now I want to go, and I don't have anything good to get my hands on, I heard that you like musical instruments, the kid is not talented, and I made a musical instrument from my hometown, and I gave it to you old, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”
Xia Hou'an only has one treasure, that is, the jade seal fished out of the bottom of the well, but he didn't bring this thing with him, and he couldn't show it easily.
Otherwise, you will be killed.
After speaking, Xia Houan took out the musical instrument he made by himself from behind him.
Cai Yong took the opportunity to look at it, and saw that the object in Xiahou'an's hand was extremely strange, he thought that he had learned a lot, but he had never seen this kind of musical instrument, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boyang, what is this?"
Xia Houan introduced: "In our hometown, this is called erhu."
There is a saying: a thousand-year-old pipa and a 10,000-year-old zheng, an erhu for a lifetime.
With Cai Yong's love for music, I believe he will definitely like this instrument.
As a result, that night, Xia Houan regretted it.
Old man Cai squeaked and rattled all night, and it was so bad to hear that he was still happy.
If it weren't for the fear of breaking the old man's face, Xiahou An would have to get up from the bed and give him the whole twelve songs.
It's so ugly!
It's true.
Early the next morning, Xiahou An got up with panda eyes.
There are also Cao Ang and Xu Chu who are tired.
Cao Ang can understand, but Xu Chu can't say it, this fierce man who has been standing guard all night for five or six days without any trouble, this is only one night, and he actually reacted.
Xu Chu said that the mental torture was too difficult.
After breakfast, the three of them went to say goodbye to Cai Yong.
As a result, the little old man was immersed in the world of erhu and couldn't extricate himself at all.
Xiahou An didn't bother, said a word to the housekeeper, and took Cao Ang and Xu Chu out of the mansion.
After leaving the house, Xiahouan went to the alley in the north of the city.
In the alley, there was a steward who had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Xiahou An and the three of them coming, he took the initiative to greet him, and asked respectfully, "Is it Master Xiahou?"
Although the young man in front of him is not very old, he does not dare to underestimate the slightest.
His own master told him that this young man was close to the master.
Xia Hou'an nodded, 'um'.
"Please come with the little one."
The identity was confirmed, and the steward led the way.
After a while, I came to a mansion.
This mansion sits in the north and faces south, the façade is not large, and it cannot be compared with the big mansion with three entrances and two exits, but it is several times stronger than ordinary houses.
When Huang Hao found Xia Hou'an last morning, Xia Hou'an said that he had no place to live, and Huang Hao was a good person, so he took the initiative to offer the house, otherwise how could Xia Hou'an return to the bus office.
"Look, can we make do with this new home?"
After the steward opened the door, Xiahouan took the lead in and swayed around the house.
After counting, there were thirteen rooms, including the guest hall.
"Xiahou'an, where did you come from this house?"
Cao Ang wondered, he knew that Xia Hou'an's pockets were empty, and it was impossible for him to afford real estate.
Xia Houan did not hide this, saying that it was sent by Huang Hao by the bus.
"You know Huang Hao very well?" Cao Ang asked again.
"I'm not familiar with it, I just met yesterday."
"As soon as we met, I will send you a house?" Cao Ang looked incredulous.
Xiahou An shrugged his shoulders and said, "Probably he knows that I am Yu Linlang, serving His Majesty at any time, and I will become a celebrity of the Son of Heaven in the future, so come and talk to me in advance!"
He~tui!
Cao Ang's heart was broken, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he was so angry that his teeth itched.
The steward respectfully handed over the key to Xiahou'an, and then took his leave and left.
After that, Xia Hou'an and the three of them went to the market and bought some daily necessities, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Where does the money come from?
Naturally, I asked Qin Shao for it.
Boss Cao's family has a big business, and there is no difference between three melons and two dates.
At noon, it was Xia Hou'an who cooked.
Cao Ang was in charge of lighting the fire in front of the stove, and Xu Chu was chopping firewood in the courtyard.
The aroma of meat wafting out of the stove room made people smell it, and their stomachs croaked.
During the meal, Qin Shao was also there.
Originally, he had just come to deliver meat to his door, but after smelling it, he was so hungry that he said he would stay for a full meal.
