Chapter 249: The Maid's Message (Sixth Watch)
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll do well. "Cai Xiang arched his hand," said Gonggong Zhu in the palace, as soon as the city gate is opened, the forbidden army of the Tang Kingdom, which has not experienced war for many years, is not to be afraid at all, and it will definitely not be able to stop our dead soldiers. β
Cai Yong nodded, but still stretched out his hand and pointed at his chest and said, "You personally command, don't make any mistakes." β
"Yes. β
In the boudoir here, Cai Yan's hair bun was finally combed, so it looks like "Yun E'e, trimming eyebrows", because today is the birthday of the concubine, in order to show solemnity, Xiaolan also specially inserted the hosta given by the lord of the country for her.
Her skin is already extremely white, so Xiaolan didn't give her heavy makeup, but the light makeup can bring out her natural beauty, only a little vermilion cherry lips, delicate as fire, beautiful and fascinating.
It's just that she looked at the person in the bronze mirror, how she didn't feel like herself, and even felt a little disgusted.
She stood up a little impatiently, felt the jewelry on her bun tremble violently with her movements, and said helplessly: "Where is this dressing, this is simply treating people as a jewelry box, right?"
Xiaolan laughed softly, and reached out to put on two earrings for her: "Miss, what do you mean by this? β
"Yes. Cai Yan's eyes rolled up, "It's so beautiful that I want to die." β
Xiaolan frowned and said: "Miss, how could you make such an association, I am sincerely praising you, if you go out now, I don't know how many sons of the family will have to stare out their eyes!
"That's my business. Cai Yan waved his hand distraughtly and said, "Nothing else......?"
So saying, she opened the door and jumped out, completely ignoring the fact that her tinkling hair ornaments trembled violently with her movements, but the skirt was so tight and long that it was a little inconvenient for her to cross the threshold, and she had to lift it up deliberately.
Cai Xiang and Cai Yong had just finished talking, and walked all the way down the corridor from the study to this side, just in time to see Cai Yan walking out of the room.
Cai Xiang was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Let's see which immortal this is going down to earth?
Cai Yan snorted, rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, don't forget that your private money is still in my hands." β
As soon as these words came out, Cai Xiang's eyes immediately changed, and he suddenly didn't dare to tease her anymore, and said in a mournful tone: "Little sister, little sister, you pity the poor eldest brother, you must know that your sister-in-law is strict, and I saved the two gold bars with my life, if they are gone, I am afraid that your eldest brother will have to rub other people's yards if he wants to drink a few sips of wine, which is a shame." β
Cai Yan grinned and said, "Anyway, the matter of your fear of guilt has already spread in Ding'an City, is it possible that you can lose an extra layer of face by finding someone to drink?"
"That's different. Cai Xiangyi was righteous, his fists clenched in front of his chest, "How can I be afraid of guilt? I feel sorry for your sister-in-law, so I will obey her, my colleagues in Ding'an City don't understand, that's their business......" He approached Cai Yan and whispered in her ear: "Everything else can be discussed, don't let your brother go out and lose face when you drink?"
Cai Yan looked at the somewhat embarrassed expression on Cai Xiang's face, he was very funny in his heart, but he was also very moved, only in his thirties, Cai Xiang had already become the imperial historian of the Tang Kingdom, holding real power, supervising officials of all sizes in the country, and people with a discerning eye also knew that he would definitely succeed his father in the future and become the new pillar of the Tang Kingdom.
However, he is such a powerful man, but he is unreasonably afraid of his insider, although Cai Yan also believes that he does love his sister-in-law, but at least this fear will not be groundless.
She smiled and said: "Okay, for the sake of you helping me say good things a few days ago, I won't embarrass you, those two gold bars are hidden under the classics of "Nine Questions" in your room, you'd better hurry up, if you go late, maybe your sister-in-law will see it when she sorts out the scrolls...... You think, this father in the family definitely doesn't need to hide private money, and the second brother is away all the year round, so he only thinks about it......"
Cai Xiang reacted immediately, glared at Cai Yan fiercely, turned around and said, "I didn't say it earlier, but I put it in that kind of conspicuous place...... I'll settle accounts with you when I go back, oh, the people in the palace must be coming soon, you better go to the front hall and wait early, so as not to miss the time and get angry again. β
His steps were eager, but the face that turned his head was not half anxious at all, and the smile that he had just laughed at Cai Yan gradually faded, replaced by a little cold and a little dignified-
If today's events don't work out, what's the point of getting those two gold bars back?
Drink...... It has to be drunk by the living.
And just when Cai Xiang's figure disappeared into the corner under the corridor, Cai Yan lowered her head and grinned like a proud little mouse, she turned her head to look at the sundial, her pupils immediately shrank, and she screamed loudly.
"Xiaolan!Xiaolan!" Cai Yan pulled his throat, "Xiaolan, come here." β
Xiaolan was still tidying up the dresser in the boudoir, and when she heard Cai Yan's exaggerated shout, she was a little helpless, so she had to open the door and walk out: "What's the matter, miss, I don't have time to catch crickets with you now......"
"What kind of crickets are you catching...... Cai Yan's eyes widened, pointing to the sundial and said, "Look at it! It's noon!"
"What's wrong at noon?" Xiaolan looked at the sundial, then at the sun overhead, and blinked: "Is Miss hungry?" But the old man has instructed that you can't eat now, and there is a banquet at night, so it's rude to eat first......
"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat. Cai Yan lifted her skirt and ran to the backyard, not thinking that the usual foodie was herself, while not forgetting to say to Xiaolan: "Quick, quick! You go and help me see if there is anyone at the door, if there is a young man at the door, you can whisper to him, wait at the back wallββ"
"Who?" asked Xiaolan towards Cai Yan's back, her mind full of doubts.
"Don't care!" Cai Yan's figure like a summer flower had already rushed towards the back garden.
Qin Ke, who was still waiting outside the gate, glanced at the sun, and then looked at the gate of Caifu, which was as silent as usual, and a huge stone lion on one side looked like two idle people in the light of the sun, one playing with a ball and the other holding a lion cub, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.
Qin Ke thought to himself that it was time for him to go, it was already noon, and Cai Yan probably wouldn't show up.
It's really stupid, I thought that Cai Yan really wanted to travel the world with him, but now it seems that maybe he just made such an agreement on a whim at that time, it is estimated that he went home and slept after getting drunk, and when he woke up, he wouldn't even remember who Qin Ke was.
"Anyway, I'm here, at least...... It's not a puppy anymore. Thinking of Cai Yan's childish "hook", he smiled inexplicably, maybe all the fun was left that night.
And just as he turned around and was about to go back to the rice shop, the vermilion gate behind him suddenly squeaked.
"Hey......! That one...... Come here!" Of course, Xiaolan didn't know Qin Ke's name, but looking at the back, she could see that Qin Ke was a man, and he was the only one walking around in front of this huge mansion, so it should be him.
When Qin Ke heard this shout, he turned his head and pointed at his nose a little suspiciously: "Are you calling me?"
"That's right. Who are you calling if you don't shout?" Xiaolan looked up and down, Buyi, isn't it the son of a family......
She couldn't help but feel a little contempt in her heart, and her words became more contemptuous, "Come here, I have something to say to you." β
"Oh......" Qin Ke looked at the noon sun, and walked over, this didn't wait for Cai Yan, but waited for a girl?
"What's wrong?" Qin Ke asked.
And Xiaolan pinched her nose and attached it to Qin Ke's ear, whispered to Qin Ke according to Cai Yan's words, and then immediately retracted her head and wanted to close the door.
"Wait. Qin Ke was confused for a while, and hurriedly shouted: "This ...... Sister. You, who are you from Cai Yan?"
Xiaolan glanced at him through the crack in the door: "Cai Yan, who is it?"
As she spoke, she slammed the door slammed shut.
Qin Ke touched his nose, and his mind seemed to be stuffed with paste for a while, but thinking about it, maybe Cai Yan really had some troubles, and he had to find someone to pass on the word so carefully, since he had waited until now, it would be nothing to wait a little longer, so he walked towards the alley on the side.
