Chapter 34
Just kidding, Zhou Yi's reputation is very good now.
It is the "child of other people's families" in the minds of the young masters of all major families in Luoyang.
How can I go out to drink and have fun with Yuan Gaolu, the "Hard-Ghost in the Road"?
If he drank Yuan Shu and got mixed up with him, he would not have to beat him from his father Zhou Jing.
Yuan Shu thought to himself that this junior brother was quite arrogant.
It doesn’t matter. As long as I like it, no matter whether it is a beauty or a talent, we have no one to escape from my palm. We have a long way to go.
Hey, why did the idea just now look so much like a villain? Yuan Shu couldn't help but make a profound self-examination.
After entering the door, the two walked towards Cai Yong's study. The servants of the Cai family knew that the two were disciples of their masters, so no one came to interrogate them.
When the two of them approached the study, they heard the sound of piano coming from inside.
The sound of the piano is melodious and pleasant, like the flowing water of mountains and rivers.
When I saw Zhou Yi and Yuan Shu walking into the study one by one, I looked very familiar.
Cai Yong, who was playing the piano, was a little stunned.
Zhou Yi is a famous genius young man in Luoyang. He is humble and polite, and he is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Yuan Shu is also famous, but his reputation is not as good as none.
How could these two people be so familiar?
Although Yuan Shu is also a genius in Cai Yong's heart, after all, outsiders don't know.
As if he saw his mentor’s inner thoughts, Zhou Yi said softly:
"I have met my disciples and Senior Brother Gaolu once in Yuedan, and I am considered familiar people."
Cai Yong nodded, it turned out that this was how he knew each other.
He said to the two casually.
"If you come, take your seat."
After both of them returned to the seats below to prepare, Yuan Shu discovered that there was a little girl in a blue and white dress in front of her.
This little girl looks about nine or ten years old, with red lips and white teeth, pink and jade-like appearance, as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
Moreover, she has a gentle and sweet temperament, and you can tell at a young age that she must be a beauty.
Yuan Shu thought to himself, this should be Cai Wenji, and it is indeed well-known.
At such a young age, it seems that it has the potential to charm all living beings.
Cai Yong had no idea about the vulgar thoughts in Yuan Shu's mind at this time, and he introduced to Yuan Shu:
"This is the little girl Cai Yan, you just call her junior sister."
Then he turned to Cai Wenji and said:
"I just got interrupted by your two senior brothers, let's continue."
Cai Wenji nodded and stared at Cai Yong seriously.
Cai Yong continued to pluck the strings of the piano, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded again.
Zhou Yi closed his eyes and listened, showing a look of great enjoyment.
Yuan Shu was obviously more interested in Cai Wenji.
He looked at Cai Wenji with his head tilted, recalling Cai Wenji's past.
Although Cai Wenji, the youngest sister, is a talented woman, her fate is very miserable.
He first married Wei Zhongdao, but unfortunately Wei Zhongdao was a tuberculosis man. Not long after Cai Wenji married, he died of illness.
Later, when the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, Cai Wenji was abducted by the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu and gave birth to two children in the desert. It can be said that she was extremely humiliated.
It was not until Cao Cao unified the north that he redeemed Cai Wenji for a large sum of money.
Thinking of the Southern Xiongnu abducting Cai Wenji, a nameless fire surged into Yuan Shu's heart.
How could such a sweet and cute little junior sister be ruined by the Huns?
This time I, Yuan Shu, can't help but touch a hair of my junior sister.
When I am strong in the future, I will definitely siege the Huns!
Sweep all the barbarians who brought disasters and difficulties to the people of the Central Plains!
Cai Yong was already playing the piano, but he accidentally glanced at the people below with his own eyes.
It was discovered that Yuan Shu was staring at his daughter Cai Yan in a daze, and his expression was a bit ferocious, with a faint murderous intent.
Cai Yong was shocked and heard a 'Character!' and the strings broke.
The strings of the piano were broken, which shocked the three people who were listening to the piano below.
There was nothing else, I really didn't expect that as the leading master of piano skills in the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong could actually break the strings.
Cai Wenji spoke first and said to Cai Yong in the clear voice of the little girl:
"Father, your second string is broken." (Note 1)
Zhou Yi, who was standing beside him, heard the junior sister say this and asked Cai Yong:
"Mr., is it really the second string?"
To be honest, with Zhou Yi's attainment in the piano skills that he was the only one in the younger generation, he couldn't tell which string was broken.
The junior sister is so young, it shouldn't be possible to guess it.
At this time, Cai Yong also came to his senses. He looked at the broken strings and was really hit by Cai Wenji. It was indeed the second one.
However, his ideas were similar to Zhou Yi. Wen Ji was so talented and had very immature piano skills. He should have said it casually.
Cai Yong rarely showed his father's kind side and smiled at Cai Wenji gently:
"My Yan'er is really lucky. She got it right away."
Unexpectedly, Cai Wenji was not grateful. She looked at Cai Yong very seriously and said:
"Yan'er didn't say it casually, she really heard it. Her father just plucked the second string."
Looking at her daughter's serious appearance, Cai Yong was speechless.
I can't even hear this thing, can you hear it?
When did my daughter speak lies so righteously?
Cai Yong felt that this matter could not be forgotten, and he had to take the opportunity to educate Cai Wenji.
So he chose not to expose Cai Wenji's lying for the time being, but instead said kindly:
"It seems that my father was wrong. Yan'er's piano skills are amazing. I heard this time."
Then he broke another string and continued to ask with a smile:
"Yan'er, which one is the one who broke this time?"
Yuan Shu sat down and looked at Cai Yong's performance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
This old man is quite bad. Who can tell which one of the things is broken?
In Yuan Shu's ears, there was no difference between the sound of the broken string. Is it really good to make things difficult for the little girl?
Zhou Yi also frowned slightly. He thought that his mentor would not make his junior sister cry if he did this, right?
Cai Yan was very calm and said without hesitation:
"Father, this time it's the fourth one!"
When Cai Yong heard this, he looked down at the piano and found that the fourth one was broken!
At this time, Cai Yong felt that he was in a bad mood.
What exactly is the case with these kids?
Yesterday, Yuan Shu recited a song "Climbing the High" under his twentieth crown, which made him cry.
That's fine. Yuan Shu is in his twenties after all, and his age is here, so it's not outrageous that a genius can achieve such achievements.
But today my daughter actually taught me a lesson.
In terms of piano skills, although Cai Yong didn't say it, he always believed that he should be the best in Luoyang, and his apprentice Zhou Yineng ranked second.
Unexpectedly, the two of them lost to a nine-year-old girl today.
Cai Yong felt quite hurt, but Cai Wenji's performance was not at fault.
He could only squeeze out a smile and praise him:
"It's not bad, Yan'er's piano skills have improved again, and my father is very happy.
But now is not the time to be complacent, so you need to continue to study hard, do you know?"
Cai Yan nodded obediently and said, "I understand, daddy!"
[Author’s Off-title]: Note 1: "Biography of Young Children": Yong played the piano at night, and the strings were clear. Yan said: "The second string".
Yong said, "I got it by chance." So he broke a string and asked him, and Yan said, "The fourth string."
It's not wrong.
"Three Character Classic": Cai Wenji can distinguish the piano, and Xie Daoyun can chant and chant.
