Section 143: Cai Mansion Beauty
Looking at Xi Zhicai's deep eyes, Guan Yan knew that Xi Zhicai was referring to the Battle of Xiliang. Thinking that at the beginning, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng was stubborn and stubborn, and was defeated and captured by Han Sui, if it wasn't for Guan Yan's shrewdness, I'm afraid he would have been caught in. Who dares to guarantee the luck of that time in this expedition to Liangzhou?
Ordering two people, this is a taboo for soldiers! This Guan Yan still understands that if this problem is not solved well, I am afraid that it will be a hidden danger, and it will break out at any time to determine success or failure.
Guan Yan nodded and said: "What the drama master said is very true, tomorrow I will ask the saint to give Jizhou the right to dispatch soldiers and horses, otherwise this battle is really not easy to fight!" ”
The three of them gathered around the table and discussed for a long time, and then finalized the details of the expedition.
Tomorrow is about to go on the expedition, Guan Yan walked around Luoyang City for a day, resigned to some old friends, division commanders, and leaders, from early morning to evening, Guan Yan went around the huge Luoyang City for a whole day, what He Jin, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, etc. have visited one by one.
Guan Yan stopped, bent down and beat his sore legs, then raised his head and looked at the plaque on the gate in front of him through the afterglow of the setting sun.
Guan Yan straightened up, sighed, and said softly: "There is only this old man Cai's family left!" After speaking, Guan Yan stepped forward and knocked lightly.
"Squeak~~" The mahogany door opened a crack, and an old man in green clothes leaned out and looked at Guan Yan.
This old man Guan Yan still has the impression that when he sent Cai Yan back, it was also this old man who opened the door, and I heard Cai Yan say that this is Cai Fu's housekeeper named Cai Fu.
Guan Yan bent down slightly and said, "Fu Bo, do you remember being down?" ”
Although Cai Fu is old, he has been a housekeeper for so many years, and his ability to distinguish people is still very strong. After Cai Fu looked at Guan Yan for a moment, his brows instantly relaxed: "Isn't this General Guan?" Please come in, please come in! ”
Cai Fu opened the door, turned sideways and waited for Guan Yan to come in, and then asked, "What is the general's important business?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing important, I'm going to go on the expedition tomorrow, and I'm here to say goodbye to Cai Weng!"
"In this way, the master is meeting guests in the living room, and the general will go to the master's study with me to drink tea first!"
Guan Yan nodded: "There is Lao Fubo!" With that, Guan Yan followed Cai Fu towards the study.
In this era, the study has many functions, the host office, study, reception, rest, etc. can be in this place, but it is not so easy to enter the study as a guest, not to mention that Cai Yong is one of the three gentlemen at that time, and it is a great honor to be able to enter his study.
There are three reasons why Cai Fu took Guan Yan directly to the study:
First: Guan Yannai was a general of the Chaohu Ben Zhonglang, a lieutenant of the Chinese military, and a knight to Dongxiang, and was fully qualified to enter Cai Yong's study in terms of identity.
Second: Guan Yan is a disciple of Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song and Cai Yong are called old friends, and Cai Yong called Guan Yan several times as a "virtuous nephew", indicating that the relationship between the two is no longer an ordinary guest.
Third: and most importantly, Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, was rescued by Guan Yan and escorted Cai Yan back to Luoyang all the way. A person who is kind to the Cai family naturally wants to be invited to the study to talk.
Guan Yan stepped into the study with Cai Fu, the decoration in the study has not changed from the last time Guan Yan came, the only change is that two words have been added on both sides of the "Mountains and Seas", the content is Guan Yan's "The book mountain has a diligent path, and the sea is endless"!
Guan Yan smiled lightly, he couldn't imagine that the nonsense at the beginning would make Cai Yong, the great Confucian at that time, so respectful.
"General Guan, you sit down first, and the villain will make you a cup of tea!"
Guan Yan bowed slightly: "There is Lao Fubo!" ”
Cai Fu didn't speak, slowly exited the study, and closed the door.
The fragrance of books and ink in the room is still strong, Guan Yan took a sip of pure natural green tea, the tip of his tongue was slightly sweet, and the fragrance of tea slowly touched from his nose to his throat, and his limbs were indescribably relaxed and comforting.
Guan Yan closed his eyes slightly, enjoying this comfortable and leisurely feeling.
Suddenly, a piano sound penetrated into the study unsuspectingly and drilled into Guan Yan's ears. Guan Yan opened his eyes and wondered in his heart: "It's just who caress the piano again?" ”
The sound of the piano did not stop because of Guan Yan's thinking, and the sound of the piano continued to pop out like a cloud, like a grievance, like a cry. A feeling of sadness spread along with the sound of the piano, which made Guan Yan feel extremely dull.
Who is this? Disturb my good mood! Guan Yan opened the door with a little dissatisfaction and groped away along the piano sound.
In the cornices pavilion in the middle of the lake, a woman in white is sitting cross-legged in the middle, her slender white fingers are beating flexibly on the strings, and it is from this that the sad notes come out.
The woman is elegant and refined, like a fairy entering the mortal world, which makes people dare not look directly. Who else can have such a talented woman in Cai's mansion, it is Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji, the daughters of Cai Yong!
Cai Yanxiu frowned, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was completely immersed in the sad sound of the piano, without feeling that Guan Yan was already standing outside the pavilion.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Guan Yan opened his eyes, and saw that on the guqin, a string was disconnected in unison, and the two strings that had been tight were curled up at this time, playing gently in the breeze.
A drop of blood spilled from the tip of Cai Yan's right index finger and dripped onto the body of the piano. But Cai Yan didn't feel the pain in his fingertips at all.
Cai Yan Muran's eyes looked at the broken strings blankly, and he said to himself: "I don't see you for a day, like March; Junming went on an expedition, although Luoyang is big, who is with? Alone? ”
Guan Yan was suddenly shocked in his heart, this Cai Yan could not succeed...... Guan Yan was excited, panting for a while, and his steps couldn't help but take a heavy step forward.
This sound completely pulled Cai Yan back to reality. Cai Yan's eyes regained his spirit, and he stood up vigilantly and asked sharply, "Who?" ”
This can't be dodged, Guan Yan behind the cylinder gasped for breath, took a step forward, and said, "Guan Yan has seen Miss!" ”
Cai Yan's fair skin instantly swelled up with a layer of red, and he hurriedly turned sideways, looked at the ground with his eyes and said, "Guan Yan?!" How...... How is ...... It's you? ”
Guan Yan laughed dryly: "Yan will go out tomorrow and come to bid farewell to Cai Weng!" ”
"I see, then you go quickly, don't let my father wait!"
Guan Yan nodded, and asked slightly tentatively, "...... the verses that Miss Cai just chanted?"
Before he finished speaking, Cai Yan stared at Guan Yan and said, "What verses? What do you hear? ”
Guan Yan looked at Cai Yan's appearance, as if he was a child who had been exposed to lies, and tried to cover it up. Guan Yan hurriedly changed his words: "I just didn't hear clearly, I want to ask Miss Xia." ”
"Oh~" Cai Yan answered softly, and sat down slowly, his eyes on the ripples in the lake, not making a sound.
Guan Yan bent over in embarrassment: "Yan retired first!" ”
Cai Yan didn't speak, but the afterglow of his eyes casually glanced at Guan Yan.
Guan Yan took a few steps back, turned around and prepared to leave.
Cai Yan saw that Guan Yan had turned around, and the disappointment and sadness in his eyes were no longer concealed, and they were cast on Guan Yan's back.
At this moment, Guan Yan suddenly turned around and said loudly to meet Cai Yan's surprised gaze: "Miss Cai, I wonder if Yan can come to visit Miss in the mansion after returning from the battle?" ”
Cai Yan used the night to hide the shyness on his face, and said coquettishly: "The leg is on yourself, why do you ask Miss Ben?" ”
