Chapter 159: A Woman's Mind
Cai's Mansion, located near the Prime Minister's Mansion, is inferior to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is also a luxurious mansion with a huge scale that includes landscape gardens.
In fact, with Cai Yong's power, he is really not qualified to have such a magnificent mansion, but for this literary leader, whether it is Dong Zhuo before or Yuan Shao now, he is willing to give him extremely high treatment.
I don't know when this is a habit formed, and those in power will always be particularly kind to great writers like Cai Yong.
In the backyard study, Cai Yong, who has an elegant and gentle temperament and is dressed in civilian clothes, is standing in front of the bookcase and splashing ink.
After a while, he looked at his newly released work, and nodded with great satisfaction.
At this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps at the door.
Cai Yong raised his head and looked towards the door, only to see a girl in a purple coat, elegant temperament, and extremely beautiful appearance coming in from outside. When he improvised and beckoned, "Yan'er, come and take a look at this poem that my father just wrote!" ”
It turns out that this girl with a superb temperament and appearance is Cai Yong's baby daughter, and she is a famous talented girl who is famous all over the world, Cai Yan!
When Cai Yan heard his father's words, he immediately walked to his father's side, looked at the masterpiece that his father had just completed in front of him, chanted it gently, and praised it with a smile: "Daddy's poetry of Yongxue is really a masterpiece!" ”
Cai Yong laughed, stroked his long hair and said very happily: "You also think it's good, then it must be really good!" ”
Cai Yan smiled slightly, then frowned slightly and said, "I heard that Daddy sent out more than 100 invitations this time?" ”
Cai Yong said with a smile: "Now that the festival is approaching, many young heroes have come to Luoyang. These more than 100 invitations are still the result of careful selection! Otherwise, a few hundred letters may not be enough! ”
Cai Yan said angrily: "Even those many people who don't learn and don't know how to do it have received an invitation from their father, and their father is embarrassed to say that he has been carefully selected?" ”
Cai Yong asked puzzledly, "Who is Yan'er talking about?" ”
Cai Yandao; "For example, the fourth son of the Yuan family, although he is the fourth son of the prime minister's family, is just a rude person who only knows how to dance with a knife and a stick!
Tonight's party can be said to be a grand event in the literary world, and the world is paying attention, wouldn't it be a big sight to let such a person participate? ”
Cai Yong smiled and said, "Although this fourth prince has no poetry to pass down, it can't be said that he is a rough man who doesn't understand literature and ink!" Besides, after all, the identity of the fourth prince is not ordinary, and if today's event is not invited, it is not appropriate, right?
No matter what, we have to look at the face of the Prime Minister! ”
Cai Yan was speechless, but he was still very unhappy in his heart. A talented woman like Cai Yan is arrogant. Tonight's grand event can be said to be her brainchild, and she doesn't want a rough person like Yuan Sigongzi to affect the success of the event.
Cai Yan felt that if Yuan Mai was that kind of person, if he was self-aware, he should stay at home and not come to the meeting, otherwise, he would have to ask him to throw a big person in public, and let him know that not everyone can come to vassal elegance!
Before you know it, it's getting dark, and it's about to happen.
Zhang Lang and Xu Cheng went out together and went straight to Cai's mansion.
Since the distance between the two places is not far, the two of them soon came to a high gate. At this time, cars and horses shuttled outside the gate, and guests came one after another.
Zhang Lang and Xu Cheng dismounted, and a servant stepped forward to take the mounts of the two and moved to the side of the tethered horse stake to tie up.
The two walked up the steps, and a middle-aged servant immediately stepped forward, bowed down and said, "I wonder if the two sons have an invitation?" ”
The two took out the invitation and handed it to the servant. After the servant took the invitation, he unfolded it and looked at it, and immediately sang towards the door: "Yuan Buy, the fourth son of Yuan, Xu Cheng, the eldest son of the Xu family, go to the meeting!" He stepped aside and let the two in.
The two walked into the threshold, and immediately a delicate maid greeted them, smiled and asked the two, "The two sons, please come with the slave maid." Then he led Zhang Lang and Xu Cheng towards the backyard.
Xu Cheng stared at the servant girl who was swaying her waist and leading the way not far in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, with a fiery look in his eyes.
whispered to Zhang Lang: "Brother Yuan, the maids of the Cai family are so graceful, I really don't know how the legendary generation of talented Miss Cai Yan will turn all beings upside down!?"
Zhang Lang smiled and whispered, "I advise you not to expect too much. From ancient times to the present, this so-called talented woman is usually synonymous with ugliness! ……”
Xu Cheng's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "No, it won't!" ”
Zhang Lang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "In short, don't have too much hope, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." ”
Xu Cheng swallowed his saliva and was speechless.
The two of them followed the maidservant along the winding corridor and walked for a full pillar of incense. It was finally clear in front of me. I saw a small lake appear in front of me, and the surrounding lights were bright and crowded, and it seemed that this was the scene of tonight's event.
The maid stopped and said to the two of them: "The two sons, please feel free, if there is no other command, the slave and maid will retire!" ”
The two nodded. The servant girl bowed down.
Zhang Lang glanced at the scene and estimated that there were about more than 100 guests present.
Xu Cheng glanced around and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan's eldest brother and second brother are here!" Hey? Those are the most famous young talents in Luoyang! The ones over there are all the sons of important ministers in the court!
Hehe, everything that should come is here, the charm of the beauty is really irresistible! ”
Zhang Lang said to Xu Cheng: "I'm going to say hello to my eldest brother." Are you with me? Xu Cheng immediately said: "That's nature." Zai Xia and Brother Yuan must act together. ”
Zhang Lang smiled and walked straight towards Yuan Tan, who was talking to someone by the lake not far away.
"Big brother!" Zhang Lang hugged his fists. "The eldest son." Xu Cheng followed and bowed to Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan found the two of them at this time, and immediately smiled: "It turned out to be the fourth brother and Xu Cheng!" His eyes were fixed on Zhang Lang's face, and he said with some emotion: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the fourth brother is even more powerful!" ”
Zhang Lang hugged his fists and said: "Big brother has won the prize!" The eldest brother is more and more outstanding, and he has the demeanor of a father! ”
Yuan Tan was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing.
"Is this Yuan Mai's cousin?" The young man who was talking to Yuan Tan just now suddenly asked.
Zhang Lang looked at him, and then found that this person was very heroic and extraordinary, and he also contained an elegant temperament, which made people feel good when they saw it.
"You call me cousin?" Zhang Lang asked.
Yuan Tan introduced with a smile: "The fourth brother must have never seen the cousin of Gao Gan. He is the most outstanding person in the Gao family! ”
