Wishful Things

Chapter 408 A Question

Cai Jin couldn't help being a little surprised, but his eyes lit up.

If she can teach others what she has learned like her grandfather did before his death, and bring a little light to the world, then she would be very happy!

"After Miss Cai became famous as a Confucian, she won the emperor's praise for her calligraphy and painting in the construction of Wanfu Building. In terms of talent and reputation, she is worthy of it."

Xu Mingyi said, looking at Xu Yun: "And in this way, it can also make the scene we did earlier appear more complete."

These days, the relationship between Second Uncle and Cai Jin tends to be intimate in the eyes of the emperor.

If Cai Jin goes back to Jiangnan, the second uncle is indifferent and doesn't react at all, wouldn't it be unreasonable?

But it is impossible to marry her at this point. First of all, her grandfather would not nod, so the second uncle "can only" take this compromise method to keep her in Beijing.

And in this way, the emperor may still feel that Cai Jin is still useful, and since he is in the middle of the capital, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the possibility of doing anything is extremely small.

She can't guarantee that it will be foolproof, but this method is indeed the best she can think of right now.

As for keeping people directly in the town government's mansion, that's obviously unrealistic.

Firstly, there is no proper reason, and secondly, the future situation of their Zhen Guogong Mansion may not be safer than that of Miss Cai herself.

"Your method sounds quite advisable." Xu Yun hesitated, and asked his niece slowly: "But how can you be sure... Yunyao Academy will definitely betray your second uncle and me? Woolen cloth?"

It seems that in the heart of my niece, he still has a certain prestige in the literary world of the capital.

Cai Jin took a look at Mr. Xu who was finally proud in front of his niece.

Why does Mr. Xu confidently think that Yunyao Academy must look at his face?

Considering the reputation of her descendants of the Cai family, it is also very resounding.

Looking at the two people who seemed to be thinking about each other, Xu Mingyi hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to explain why he thought of using this method——

"Second Uncle probably forgot, this Yunyao Academy was originally built with money from my mother."

The head of the academy can be regarded as a good friend of her mother's life.

The reason why Second Uncle was asked to write this letter was just to have a matching title.

Xu Yun's hand holding the chess pieces froze in mid-air.

Immediately, he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I haven't forgotten, Second Uncle just thinks you forgot..."

Cai Jin could only smile and said: "...Lingtang really has far-reaching thoughts and a deep heart, and this is a real role model for women in the world."

Xu Mingyi was noncommittal.

Is it a role model for women?

Maybe.

But according to what she heard from her father, it was the head of Yunyao Academy who found her mother and wanted to settle the matter with her mother, but her mother agreed without hesitation.

Therefore, this is probably too much money, so I must find some places to spend it.

"If Miss Cai and Second Uncle feel that this method is still applicable, it should be sooner rather than later. Second Uncle will write a letter tomorrow and ask someone to send it."

Xu Yun nodded without any objection.

Anyway, I don't need his favor, just write a letter, it's a little effort.

Cai Jin stood up and bowed solemnly to Xu Mingyi.

"Thank you Miss Xu for your help, Cai Jin will remember it in my heart."

"You don't need to say thank you, I promised Miss Cai before."

Cai Jin smiled.

Before, Ms. Xu just said that she would keep her life safe for a day when she was in the town's mansion, but now she is leaving the town's mansion.

So, thanks anyway.

Seeing Xu Yun pouring another cup of tea, she suggested: "Since Miss Xu and Mr. Xu want to drink tea, how about I go to the kitchen to make some snacks and fried food?"

After all, she has nothing else to be good at, and now she can barely handle cooking, which can be used to express her gratitude.

Xu Mingyi let out a soft "ah" and said, "Let's go another day, I still have something to go out for."

In fact, Miss Cai's current craftsmanship is indeed passable, but how to say this kind of thing, there is probably a shadow in her heart.

Seeing his niece running away, Xu Yun was very desperate.

This is his yard, he can't run away.

And when he heard the word "fried things", he couldn't help but think of the leek box that Miss Cai fried up the day before yesterday——

The leek box was so big that it couldn't fit in a plate.

He couldn't help asking questions from the depths of his soul on the spot——

Is this a leek box, or a leek box?

If such a big thing is put into the pot, the pot will probably feel embarrassed, right?

Let alone people who eat.

However, the other party exploded a dozen more as soon as they exploded.

In the end, it was cut with a knife, and the food was shared among the people in the courtyard, so there was no waste.

"Let's finish this game first..." Xu Yun temporarily chose to escape.

Only then did Cai Jin realize that the chess game was not finished, so he hurriedly sat back.

She plays very seriously.

In the end, Xu Yun won.

This is not surprising, after all, this Mr. Xu is not a person who will show mercy just because the person sitting opposite is a woman.

But she just thinks Mr. Xu like this is very good.

"I feel a little regretful that I won't be able to play chess with Mr. Xu again." Cai Jin held the teacup and asked with a smile, "Before I leave, can I ask Mr. Xu a question?"

Xu Yun looked at her strangely: "You don't go back to Jiangnan, how can you say it as if you won't see each other again?"

Cai Jin sighed quietly: "Mr. doesn't go out, so it's strange to see him."

Although they are both in the capital, it is extremely possible that she will never see Mr. Xu again after she leaves.

Xu Yun choked when he heard it, and then couldn't help feeling that it was indeed such a reason...

"Can I ask sir a question?" Cai Jin asked again.

"If you can ask what you can't ask, just ask if you want to ask."

But whether to answer or not depends on his mood.

Xu Yun drank tea with a relaxed expression.

Cai Jin leaned forward, his eyes sparkled with curiosity, and asked softly, "Sir... who is that person?"

"Which person?" Xu Yun was confused.

Cai Jin's voice became softer: "That person is hidden in Mr.'s heart..."

Xu Yun's face froze, and he said after a while: "What nonsense is the little girl talking about?"

Cai Jin sat up straight and snorted lightly, but my husband dared not admit it.

Xu Yun squinted at her, suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "If it is true, there is indeed such a person who is always enshrined in my heart, and I will never forget it for a day..."

Cai Jin blinked.

After subconsciously denying it, are you willing to talk about it?

"Sir, have I seen the man?"

"I have never seen it, but I must have heard of it."

Cai Jin became more and more curious.

Who is it?
