Mythical Three Kingdoms

"Yeah, I've heard about it too. It's quite a nice match." Cai Yan said with a kind smile.

"Sis, don't you think about it more?" Cai Zhenji said with a bit of a headache, feeling that if her sister waits any longer, she probably won't need to get married at all.

"Better to wait until your child is born and then adopt one back." Cai Yan shook her head; she didn't want to marry anymore but just wished for the Cai family's lineage to continue, and having one return through adoption was indeed a wise choice.

As for relying on Li Youu, it's not necessary; Cai Yan could easily protect herself with her own talents, as many noble women studied under her.

"Uh..." Cai Zhenji was somewhat embarrassed but didn't refuse, "If my husband agrees, I will."

Cai Yan smiled without saying anything. Yang Dao was an easily persuadable person, especially considering Cai Yan's untiring efforts in educating Yangg Fa, Yang Dao wouldn't fail to appreciate it.

"Sister, come to my house for the New Year." Cai Zhenji said while making clothes for Yangg Fa.

"Hmm, I'll go. But how about you come with me to Uncle's house on the second day?" Cai Yan nodded. In the huge Cai Mansion, besides Cai Yan and her personal maid, there was no one else on the first day of the new year; the other maids were sent home for the holiday by Cai Yan.

Speaking of which, those maids from ordinary families in Cai Mansion could also read and write now, and Cai Yan, without any bias, believed in teaching without discrimination, at least teaching a bit, to have more people to talk to. As a talented woman, she indeed felt quite lonely.

"Okay~" Cai Zhenji said with a drawn-out tone. Soon, the Cai Mansion returned to its peacefulness.

"Wow, the Fragrance Pavilion is built really well, and it managed to occupy such a nice spot so quickly." Chen Xi jumped off the carriage, marveling at the shop covering nearly a hundred meters, and you could already hear the tunes inside just standing at the entrance.

Incidentally, many citizens were also standing outside listening to the music. Not to mention anything else, the sound was quite clear, thanks to the support from the Qu'e Junior General, Nangong Xue's secret technique.

"Because opera is suitable for all ages and can soothe and relax, the Administrator Lub allocated a place for the Fragrance Pavilion starting from the first day. Previously, it was outdoor opera, but now it's built." Chen Yun explained simply.

"Makes sense." Chen Xi nodded and took Chen Yun inside.

"Zichuan." Fa Zheng spotted that it was indeed Chen Xi and greeted him immediately.

"Oh, Xiao Zhi, are you here to watch the play?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

"Not really, just bringing Ying'er out to buy something." Fa Zheng said with a smile, while Jiangg Ying and Wang Yi both bowed, and Chen Yun returned the courtesy.

"I also want to buy something for my wife, but unfortunately, I don't know what to get. Do you have any recommendations?" Chen Xi said with a smile.

"No particular ideas, we lack nothing at home," Fa Zheng sighed. "I bought another cane for my father because the previous one hurt too much."

By this time, Liuu Luo had already learned that Chen Xi and Chen Yun had arrived, but upon meeting Fa Zheng at the door, she found it awkward to interrupt.

"It's not good for the two of us to stand here blocking their business; let's go inside to talk." Chen Xi said with a smile.

Jiangg Ying didn't show any particular expression, confidently following Fa Zheng inside.

After all, Jiangg Ying didn't need to handle too many affairs; her daily routine included just listening to music, reading books, and sometimes visiting this place during her free time.

As for Wang Yi, she had never visited such a place. Although she did have an interest in opera, it was nothing compared to her greater interest in being a female official!

"Greetings to Marquis Chen, greetings to Marquis of Taiting, the Marquis of Weiyang Pavilion invites both of you to the second floor." After Liuu Luo came out to welcome them, she led the group to a separate section on the second floor, where Guo Jia was casually sitting by the window, sipping wine and listening to the opera.

"Fengxiao, instead of being home with your wife and child, you come here alone to listen to music." As Chen Xi and Fa Zheng pushed the door open and saw Guo Jia, Chen Xi immediately teased him, while the women, including Jiangg Ying, were led to another private room, allowing Chen Yun some time to chat with Liuu Luo.

"Staying at home isn't as fun as being here, and who says I didn't bring my wife and child? I just sent them to another room when you were on your way up." Guo Jia said with a smile, pouring wine for Fa Zheng and Chen Xi.

"But I'm really curious. You two don't look like you're here to enjoy the show, especially you, Zichuan. Finally brought out your star performer." Guo Jia teased, "You should have done this earlier."

"Oh, yeah, that was Chen Yun just now!" Fa Zheng said excitedly, "A great beauty, and she has such a remarkable aura in any role!"

"You two..." Chen Xi glanced at them without speaking, but the meaning was clear to both, and they exchanged a look and burst out laughing.

"But seriously, Zichuan, why be pretentious? You've married Zhen Mi, and you shouldn't leave those three in the inner courtyard untouched. After all, they are your maids, all in your bowl." Guo Jia said with a mischievous grin, completely disregarding Chen Xi's limits.

"Don't joke with me." Chen Xi waved his hand, "I just brought her out for once, and remembered that Liuu Luo has taken care of my maids for many years, so I brought her over for some support."

"Not joking around! Suddenly changing tone, Guo Jia seriously pressed Chen Xi's shoulder, "How could you think like that? Personal maids knowing too many secrets cannot be given to others. The only path for them other than marrying the master is a dead end, so marrying them is the right thing to do."

"You're wasting your life like this." Fa Zheng agreed with Guo Jia.

"..." Chen Xi was speechless, then patted Guo Jia's shoulder. "Do you think you can deceive me with this? Did your brain short-circuit with the dead-end line?"

"Hahaha, couldn't fool you; I thought if I acted all serious, you would seriously consider my suggestion." Guo Jia said with disappointment.

"Turns out Zichuan is quite sharp." Fa Zheng, who also wanted to see a joke, was left with no choice but to be helpless as Chen Xi remained the same.

"You two bastards!" Chen Xi immediately chased Guo Jia around the table, causing a ruckus until they quieted down. No one dared to enter the private room, no matter what the trio was doing inside.

They sat together, chatting and drinking, while Chen Xi awaited the appearance of Liuu Luo, well aware of what Chen Yun was up to, so he had no reason to refuse Guo Jia's drinking invitation.

Before long, Liuu Luo personally came to serve the dishes. After a few drinks with Guo Jia, Chen Xi departed, with Guo Jia jokingly saying as they left, "Zichuan, you really should consider what I said." (To be continued.
