The afternoon sun shone into the room. It was already summer, but the afternoon sun was still so hot. It was hard to imagine the ancient people wearing long robes and moving in such hot weather.
"Ah!" Ziya Jiang yawned as she heard the shy voice of a girl.
Seeing this, Tang Ximing asked Xiaoxin and Jiang Ziya to continue sleeping in the room. It was strange that Crayon Xiaoxin liked to sleep on the floor. As expected of a child from the Wei Nation!
"I heard that we just need to walk along the east street and we will be able to see the Cai residence!”Diao Chan quickly found out the location of the Cai Residence.
Hearing this, Tang Ximing didn't stay any longer. She brought Diao Chan and walked towards the east street.
Even in summer, the working people of ancient times were not afraid of the heat. He was sweating profusely from buying the vegetables. Those who had a shop were waving their fans in the shop, and those who were strolling around held a parasol in their hands.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this gouache?”Diao Chan was also a woman. Women had the instinct to shop on the streets. Even the working people in ancient times were no exception.
"Young Lady is so beautiful, I will only charge Young Lady five wen!”The shop owner was also a good businessman. As long as he praised the customer a little, the customer would be happy and buy it. Moreover, Diao Chan was a real beauty.
After paying, Diao Chan went to a place that sold hairpins.
"Oh! Which one looks better?" Diao Chan picked up two hairpins, one purple and one red. Like any couple on a date, she asked the man, who was naturally Tang Ximing.
"One on the left and one on the right.”Tang Ximing's answer was the safest. If the girl liked someone else, then wouldn't it be different from the girl's opinion? Therefore, he decided to buy both.
"Shopkeeper, give me the purple-gold one!”Diao Chan received Tang Ximing's suggestion. She was not in a hurry to pay directly. Instead, she held the hairpin in her hand and asked the shopkeeper for another one.
" Then do you like this?!" Diao Chan took the purple-gold hairpin from the shopkeeper and placed it in front of Tang Ximing.
The purple-gold color hit Tang Ximing's pupils. Such a gorgeous color. Although it was only a few coins, its value was much higher than other hairpins.
"This seems to be a male, right? But I quite like it!" When Tang Ximing looked at the hairpin carefully, she realized that it was a male hairpin.
"This is for you!" Diao Chan smiled politely. When you are twenty years old, how about you use the hairpin I gave you to tie your hair?”
Hearing this, Tang Ximing suddenly felt warm inside. For a moment, she couldn't say anything and just nodded.
"I want all three of them!" Seeing that Tang Ximing had agreed, Diao Chan waved the three hairpins in front of the shop owner.
"Young Lady has good eyesight! This purple gold hairpin was sold to us from an ancient peddler. As long as you buy this purple gold hairpin, I will give you the other two.”Seeing Diao Chan choose the purple-gold hairpin, the shop owner chuckled.
Tang Ximing was speechless at the price of three silver pieces for the purple gold hairpin, but Diao Chan felt that it was worth it.
The two of them were like a young couple shopping. They walked on the east street, stopping and stopping, buying and looking. They did not waste much time.
Not far away, a large mansion appeared in their sights. Many people walked into the mansion, and the servants at the door were busy greeting the guests.
On the mansion were the words Cai Residence.
"What should we do? We don't seem to have an invitation.”Diao Chan saw that everyone who entered the Cai Residence had a red invitation card in their hands.
"General Tang!" A loud voice came from behind Tang Ximing, and a big hand patted Tang Ximing's shoulder.
An eight-foot-tall man! Why did the ancient people grow so tall!
Tang Ximing turned around and saw an eight-foot-tall man.
"General Tang, I am Lu Zhi!" Lu Zhi cupped his hands and said to Tang Ximing.
"General of the North, Lu Zhi! Nice to meet you!" Tang Ximing immediately understood who this person was.
"I wonder why General Tang is here?" Lu Zhi continued to ask.
"I have something to visit Lord Cai Yong today!”Tang Ximing replied.
"I've long heard that General Tang is skilled in both literature and martial arts. Today is the cultural gathering organized by Lord Cai Yong, and he invited us to come. Since General Tang is here today, why don't we spar together?”Lu Zhi intended to bring Tang Ximing into the Cai residence, and Tang Ximing was worried about finding a way.
"May I know who this lady is?" Only then did Lu Zhi notice Diao Chan beside Tang Ximing.
"My name is Diao Chan, and I'm my foster father, Wang Yun!”Diao Chan bowed and said.
"Oh? So she's Mr. Situ's adopted daughter! Take me to your godfather! This is my disciple. I've just returned from the crusade against the Yellow Turban rebels. I'm here to pay my respects to General Tang!”After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal for the people behind him to come out.
Tang Ximing and Diao Chan had only just realized that there was someone behind Lu Zhi.
"I'm Gongsun Zan! I've long heard of General Tang's deeds. It's my honor to meet you today!”Gongsun Zan walked out from behind Lu Zhi and said to Tang Ximing.
Gongsun Zan was dressed in white, giving off an amiable feeling. He held a small folding fan in his hand and wore a piece of white jade on his waist. No matter how one looked at him, he looked like a pale-faced scholar.
"Not bad! His footsteps were steady! There's no lack of scholarly aura!" Tang Ximing looked at Gongsun Zan and nodded.
"Hehe, very stupid! Please." Hearing this, Lu Zhi laughed and scolded before coming to the gates of the Cai Residence.
Tang Ximing and Diao Chan saw another familiar face! Who was it?
The Taoist priest who was called a master in the inn and was accidentally kicked down by Xiao Xin.
"What do you do? Today was the Cai Residence's cultural gathering. Without an invitation, no one was allowed to enter the Cai Residence.
"Sigh! This Penniless Priest has calculated, today this Penniless Priest is the only one lacking in this literary gathering! I…" The Daoist priest was still holding his Dao sail, trying to squeeze into Cai Manor.
"Get lost! How dare you behave atrociously in the Cai Residence!" The servant threw the Taoist priest outside.
"Aiyo, Master, have you recovered your power?”When Diao Chan saw a Taoist priest being thrown in front of them, she laughed at him.
"Young lady! Young lady! For the sake of this poor priest's talisman, let them let this poor priest in! I know your identity is illustrious. If you want to ask for anything, I won't take any money from you.”The Daoist priest immediately got up and said to Diao Chan.
"Aiyo! Lord Lu Zhi is here! My master is in the hall! Come, come! Please!" These servants were not ordinary servants. They had worked in the Cai Residence for five years, so they knew all about these high-ranking officials and nobles.
"Are you with Lord Lu Zhi?”The servant asked Tang Ximing, who was beside Lu Zhi.
"Do you recognize this official seal?" Tang Ximing took out the official seal that had stopped Dian Wei this morning.
"C-c-commandant! You're a riding commandant! Such a young commandant! You're Tang Ximing!" The servant had some knowledge, although he was shocked by the level of the official seal.
Ah! So he was that famous! Tang Ximing secretly felt pleased.
"I wonder if I can enter the Cai Residence?" Tang Ximing took back the official seal and asked.
"Ah! Please, please, please!" The servant naturally wouldn't block a commandant, so he made way for Tang Ximing to enter.
"Sigh! Young lady! I'm with them! Sigh!" The Taoist priest ran up again and shouted.
"Throw him as far away as possible!" Diao Chan was also annoyed by this Daoist priest! He said to the servant.
Then, he walked into the Cai residence with Tang Ximing.
