Chapter 45 Provincial New Notes
On the twenty-seventh of this month, Fu Yun went to Huan Mansion to find Yixuan again.
It turned out that when he saw Cai Ni in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, he returned home in a daze, Cai Ni's delicate voice and fairy-like gorgeous face lingered in his mind. Therefore, I hid in the study all day long and was depressed, thinking about seeing Cai Nifangrong's strategy again.
On this day, there happened to be Chen Ti, the son of Lang Zhongling Chen Jian, Cao Anxu, the son of Cao Jingcheng, the secretary of the ministry, Zhou Xijun, the son of Zhou Bozong, and Li Miao, the son of Li Zhengqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
The subordinate led a few of them to Fu Yun's study.
Seeing Fu Yun, Chen Ti was the first to say, "I haven't seen Brother Fu for a few days, but I didn't expect that I was studying hard here behind closed doors, because I felt that it was not enough to win the Jinshi once, and I wanted to win the second time?" β
Fu Yun hurriedly got up to greet him and said, "A few of you came just in time, my brother didn't close the door to study, but because he was lucky to see a beautiful woman the day before yesterday, and he can't forget it so far, and I want to find a way to see her again." β
Li Miao said, "It's not simple, Brother Fu will go to Lord Lingzun to talk to him, tell him which house he is from, and then send a dowry, everyone is Brother Fu's yours, when do you want to see it?" β
Zhou Xijun said with a smile, "On weekdays, we all laugh at Brother Huan for being a headless and brainless person, in fact, you Li Miao is really headless and brainless, if you can get a beauty so easily as you say, why should Brother Fu bother with Feng and Rili not to come out to have fun with us, but to be locked in the study alone and think of a way?"
According to me, no one should guess, listen to Brother Fu explain things in detail first, and then figure out a way together. β
Fu Yun followed his words and told these people about going to Cai's Mansion with Yixuan that day.
After hearing this, Cao Anxu frowned and said, "Brother Fu, this is your mistake, as the saying goes, a friend's wife can't be bullied, and you obviously know that Miss Cai is already Brother Huan's fiancΓ©e, but you still have such a non-divisive thought about her, isn't it too bad for a friend?" β
Fu Yun was busy trying to argue, but Li Miao had already rushed to say, "Brother Cao is too pedantic to say this, although Cai Ni is engaged to Huan Yixuan, but after all, he hasn't passed the door yet, even if he has passed the door, we just want to see her, and we don't want to do anything indecent, why not?" β
Cao Anxu was not convinced, and said hurriedly, "I am reasoning according to etiquette, how can you say that you are pedantic." β
Zhou Xijun said, "I think what Brother Cao said has some truth, but it's not that you can't see Miss Cai, but you have to have a perfect strategy." β
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all looked at Chen Ti, because he was the only one who had not expressed his position so far.
Li Miao asked, "Brother Chen, why don't you speak?" β
Chen Ti smiled and said, "I'm thinking about what Brother Zhou said about the perfect strategy?" β
Li Miao and Fu Yun looked at each other and smiled, and immediately the three of them agreed to see Cai Ni, while Zhou Xijun leaned to the side of the three, and then looked at Cao Anxu. Li Miao asked, "Brother Cao has not changed his mind?" β
Cao Anxu was helpless and said, "You can see it, but you have to be with Brother Huan." β
Chen Ti said, "Brother Cao's opinion coincides with that of the younger brother. β
And all the people were attached to him.
Chen Ti paused and said, "If you want to see Cai Ni, you can't go out without Brother Huan." β
Li Miao said, "Why? β
Chen Ti said, "Think about it, Cai Ni is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has received a strict upbringing since she was a child, and she is a talented woman given by the emperor, whether she is talented, beautiful or born, we can't match it, how can she easily come out and let us see her?" β
Li Miao said, "Then Brother Chen wants to ask Huan Yixuan to invite her out in person?" β
Chen Ti said, "Hmph! You really think Brother Huan is stupid, how could he help us let our fiancΓ©e come out and show his face? β
Li Miao said, "What's the use of calling him?" β
Chen Ti said, "It's not to call him, it's to invite him." He paced two steps towards the side of the desk, and after sitting down, he said, "Invite him and Miss Cai at the same time." β
Seeing that he mentioned the important point, Fu Yun concentrated his mind and asked, "How do you please?" Brother Chen, please elaborate. β
Chen Ti said, "We have to find a courtyard first and become a poetry club." In the name of the poetry club, I asked Brother Fu, Brother Cao and several little sisters of Brother Zhou's family to go to Cai's mansion to invite her.
If she has any excuses, she can tell her that Brother Huan will also go when the time comes, and she will consider it. β
After he finished speaking, Fu Yun, Li Miao and Zhou Xijun all called it a wonderful law, but Cao Anxu locked his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and said, "It is normal for women to form associations with poetry, but we are all men, so how can we participate in it in a grand manner?" β
Li Miao smiled, "I said that Brother Cao is pedantic, you still don't recognize it, since there are women who form associations with poetry, why not add a man and a woman to form an association with poetry?" β
Cao Anxu said, "You...... What a strong word! β
Fu Yun saw that the two were about to quarrel, so he hurriedly intervened between them to make peace.
A few people said yes, Fu Yun said that he would go to inform Yixuan first, but Chen Ti stopped him and said, "Brother Fu, it's not that you don't know Brother Huan, he usually doesn't like to go against us in poetry, you go and tell him at this time, he must hide it first." β
Fu Yun felt justified and said, "What can I do then?" β
Chen Ti said, "Brother Fu doesn't have to worry, wait until the day of the poetry meeting, invite Miss Cai to come out, and a few of us will go to his house together to arrest him, but I can't help but let him not come." β
Fu Yun smiled, "That's great!" β
And after the discussion had stopped, a date was set for the twenty-seventh day of the month, and everyone dispersed.
The next day, Fu Yun's sister Fu Ai and Fu Ying, Zhou Xijun's sister Zhou Weizhen and Cao Anxu's third sister Cao Fei came to Cai's mansion together. It turned out that several people usually had dealings with Cai Ni, but seeing me this day, Cai Ni happened to be worried about the matter with Yixuan the day before yesterday.
Zhou Weiyan asked, "Sister Ni's brows are locked so tightly, I don't know what I'm worried about?" β
Cai Ni only moved her lips, not knowing whether she should tell them such a thing, so she hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
Fu Ying and Fu Ying had heard from their eldest brother about what happened that day before they came here, and they laughed so hard that their backs hurt. At this time, Fu Ying glanced at her sister Fu Ying. Fu Ying understood and said to Cai Ni, "I heard that the future husband of Sister Ni's sister Jun Huan came to the house the day before yesterday, and I don't know if it's true or not?" β
Fu Ying said, "Gongzi Huan is a well-known figure in the whole Jiankang City, and I often hear Brother Yun praise him for his handsome character and extraordinary temperament, but I don't know how to learn, I came here the day before yesterday, can I show my talent in front of my sister?" β
Cai Ni scolded secretly in his heart, since you know that he is famous in the whole Jiankang Capital, of course you also know why he is famous, but you know it in front of me, I'm afraid you came to ridicule me, right? Hum! If you show your talents, it's good not to be angry with him.
So he was displeased, turned his face sideways and said, "He hasn't said a word to me, how do I know what he has learned?" β
Fu Ying said, "That's strange, didn't Sister Ni go out to see him that day?" β
Cai Ni said, "I saw it, but I just ......" I just wanted to say that I had mistaken Fu Yun for Yixuan, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed it back.
Seeing that she suddenly didn't say anything, Fu Ying still wanted to ask something, but Cao Fei preemptively said, "Sister Ying, don't embarrass Sister Ni anymore, Huan Yixuan is a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know anything, I don't know or you don't know?" The day before yesterday, even if Sister Ni went out to see him, she must have been unable to spit out half a word in front of Sister Ni, so she annoyed Sister Ni. He said to Cai Ni again, "Sister, did my sister say something wrong?" β
Cao Fei is straightforward and fast-hearted, and he is a person who is not pleasing to his predecessors and successors, which can be seen from these few words, but Fu Ying and Fu Ying laughed when they heard it.
Zhou Weizhen is usually the best with Cai Ni, and she can't see a few of them bullying her, so she gave these three people a fierce look. said to Cai Ni, "They all deliberately joked with their sister, and my sister must not admit it." β
Cai Ni thought to herself, it is not you who are given the marriage by the emperor, of course all of you will laugh. In addition, no one can compare to me in terms of talent and appearance, don't you still hold a grudge and want to take this opportunity to take revenge? With a "hum" in my heart, I had something I wanted to say.
"Sisters, are you looking for me today, is there something important?"
There was a meaning of expulsion in the words, and the four of them were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Zhou Weizhen didn't say anything that made Cai Ni unhappy, so he had a clear conscience and said with a smile, "I and a few sisters are here to invite Sister Ni to go to the poetry meeting together in a few days, I wonder if my sister can appreciate her face?" β
Cai Ni shook her head indifferently and said, "My little sister is not in a good mood these days, and the kindness of several sisters, my sister only understands it." β
Zhou Weiyan couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard this, before going out, her brother begged her to be sure to get Cai Ni to agree.
And the two Fu Ying sisters came prepared, and said strangely, "Sister Ni doesn't go, don't regret it when the time comes!" β
Cai Ni said, "If you don't go, you won't go, what's there to regret?" β
