Outside the Cai Residence, Cao Cao did not leave immediately.
He found a wine shop along the street and went up to the second floor to find a window seat to observe the Cai residence from afar.
He could see the Zhen family waiting outside the Cai residence. As time passed, they were not welcomed into the house. In the middle, someone even brought food over.
Even so, the servants of the Zhen family were not impatient and continued to wait quietly.
"That Chen Xiao's methods are extraordinary.”
Cao Cao was surprised, then he sighed,"Cai Bo 'er is indeed Cai Bo' er. In the face of so many lone books, he can still remain unmoved like a mountain. He's really my role model!”
The admiration he had for Cai Yong grew stronger.
But at the same time, he felt a little strange.
Since he had chosen to refuse, why didn't he send him off after talking for so long?
That Chen Xiao had stayed in the Cai Residence for quite a long time!
Just as he was thinking, the sky had already darkened. Cao Cao stood up and prepared to find Yuan Shao and his friends for a drink.
At this moment, the gates of the Cai Residence in the distance opened.
Cai Jiu, the housekeeper of the Cai Residence, quickly walked out with a few servants and greeted them with a smile. After exchanging pleasantries, he led Zhen Tian and the others into the Cai Residence!
Cao Cao suddenly stopped in his tracks!
After a long time, he sighed deeply.
"Cai Bo Xin has fallen in the end!”
As he muttered to himself, he stood up and left the tavern. There was an indescribable desolation in his back.
Cao Cao wasn't a greedy person. In the past, he didn't understand why his father, who followed Cao Song, would wantonly accumulate wealth and even buy an official position.
But now, he suddenly understood.
If the power of money was used properly, the energy it could unleash…
It was terrifying!
…………
Not long after Cao Cao left.
Chen Xiao took Wang Yue, Shi Ah, Zhen Tian, and the others and left.
However, the Cai Residence didn't fall silent.
Instead, he became busier.
Cai Jiu brought a group of servants and packed up, preparing to leave the capital with Cai Yong tomorrow.
It was mainly Cai Yong's collection of books.
As a great scholar, Cai Yong had a collection of ten thousand volumes. Every time he moved, he had to send out many carriages to load the books. In comparison, the other luggage was not worth mentioning.
"Master already has so many books, and there are thousands more. Can you finish them…"
Cai Jiu couldn't help but ask this question as he moved the books.
No one answered him.
Because Cai Yong had already plunged into the courtyard, beside the dozens of boxes that Chen Xiao had brought, he buried his head in his books and was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Cai Yan saw that the sky was getting darker and immediately instructed the maid,"Go prepare some food and prepare a few lanterns for Father!”
"Yes!"
The maid accepted the order and left.
As soon as the woman left, her personal maid, Lü E, walked out of the corridor with a pleasantly surprised expression. Miss, among the gifts that Young Master Chen sent, there's one for you…"
I didn't find out how the Han Dynasty maid called the unmarried mistress. I used the title in the Military Advisor Alliance here. If someone knows, you can also say it in the comment section. The author can change it ~
"For me?"
Cai Yan was slightly startled, and saw that Lü E's hand was holding an item wrapped in red cloth,"It seems to be Zhang Qin?"
She was proficient in music and was especially good at playing the piano. She could recognize her at a glance just by looking at her appearance.
"That's right!"
Lü E smiled as she untied the red cloth.
Suddenly, a completely black zither with a faint green color appeared in his sight. It was like a green vine wrapped around an ancient wood.
Just from its appearance, this zither was extraordinary.
Cai Yan's face was filled with surprise.
Her father, Cai Yong, had a good zither. It was made from a piece of parasol wood that had not been completely burned and had an abnormal sound when he was in Jiangnan. It was called "Scorched Tail".
That zither had a pleasant tone and was extremely rare. Cai Yong regarded it as a treasure.
Cai Yan had also played it a few times and liked it very much.
When she saw the zither in front of her, she couldn't help but stretch out her jade-like hand and flick her finger.
"Ding!"
The strings of the zither vibrated, emitting a wonderful sound.
Cai Yan was overjoyed and suddenly thought of something. He flipped the zither over and immediately saw four small inscriptions on it.
Tong and Zin!
"As expected!"
A feeling of surprise that arose spontaneously burst forth from Cai Yan's heart: "This is the Green Qi Qin! It was actually Sima Xiangru's Green Qi Qin!”
In this world, any scholar would know Sima Xiangru's name.
"Zi Xu Fu" is famous all over the world.
"Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" has been passed down for hundreds of generations.
Legend had it that Sima Xiangru had used this Green Qi Qin to play the song " Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix ", which had aroused Zhuo Wenjun's admiration and became a legendary story.
Of course, Sima Xiangru was a scumbag, and in the end, he still failed Zhuo Wenjun.
This love story also ended in tragedy.
But this did not hinder Sima Xiangru's position in the hearts of scholars, nor did it hinder the position of the Green Qi Qin in the eyes of those who loved music.
This was a legendary zither!
Then where did Chen Xiao find it?
He even gave it to him?
Cai Yan's heart involuntarily trembled.
"Sima Xiangru's Green Qi Qin should be very expensive, right? That Young Master Chen was really rich, and he really had a heart!”
"Young lady, he can't really have admiration for you, right?" Lü E laughed. However, he was the Zhen family's son-in-law. Could it be that he was really lustful and wanted a lady to be his concubine?”
Cai Yan's temperament was tranquil, and she usually treated the servants quite well. Especially since she was a personal maid, their relationship was even closer.
At this moment, he laughed naturally.
Cai Yan wasn't angry either, a blush suffusing her face.
However, she gently hit Green Calyx's head.
"This zither can't be bought with money!”
She couldn't help but carefully examine Lü Qiqin, and the corners of her lips curled up."But if you think that this person gave the zither to you because of a romantic relationship, you are gravely mistaken…"
Green calyx did not understand.
Cai Yan's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself," This man is the son-in-law of the Zhen family, and he has managed to expand the Zhen family's business to where it is today. He is really a smooth talker and can see through people's hearts…"
"He knew that I loved the zither, so he gave me a famous zither that I couldn't refuse!”
"How is this a gift?"
"It's clearly a favor that can't be rejected, but it's bigger than the sky!”
As expected of a talented lady from the ages, she was quick-witted and had sharp eyes.
However, even though she saw through Chen Xiao's intentions, she still could not help but feel ripples in her heart and was overjoyed.
This was the power of Chen Xiao!
The energy of money was being used to its fullest!
This person wasn't a strategist. Otherwise, how could he calculate people's hearts to such an extent?
