Chapter 6 Cai Mansion
"Master, why are you like this..." The manager followed the fat man back with a sad face. Because Ye Zhao was about to move in, even the manager had to squeeze in with someone. This made him very angry. He had never suffered such a grievance before.
"That Ye Zhao is a disciple of Cai Weng." The fat man sat on the bed, and two pretty maids came forward to help him remove his coat and frowned: "The Ye Zhao family is not of high status, but since he is valued by Cai Weng, he has made enough contributions in the north. In addition, he is young and energetic, and he is very proud. Don't fight with him at this moment. Suiyang has been a fertile land since ancient times. If this county magistrate can be a good county, there will naturally be a future. But if he doesn't do it well, even if he has the affection of Cai Weng, then Ye Zhao will probably find it difficult to stand out."
"I won't talk about this." After taking off my formal clothes, the fat man leaned on the bed lazily, looked at the manager and said, "I've only been busy in the past few days."
The manager knew the temperament of his lord, and he looked moved when he heard this, and whispered: "Lord, how about I go to the city to find some women to cheer up the lord?"
The fat man was obviously a little moved. After thinking about it, he finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, this place is Weng Cai's hometown after all, and Ye Zhao is by his side. If you don't like him because of this, it will be unfair. Let's go a little bit. Let's go tomorrow, and we'll have a break tonight."
"Here!" The manager hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.
Ye Zhao naturally didn't know what the fat man said. After seeing the other party give in, he brought people into the inn and said nothing all night. The next morning, he saw the fat man hurried away with the people. Looking at the huge team of cars and horses, Ye Zhao couldn't help but be shocked. The supplies brought by the fat man alone would probably be able to catch up with the tax revenue of Macheng for one year.
Hey, although Macheng has a lot of profits, it seems that Zhongyuan is the real place of wealth concentration now.
"Lord, you have prepared a greeting. When will we set off?" Qiu Chi came to Ye Zhao and asked.
"Let's go now, uh... Qiu Chi, you are..." Ye Zhao turned his head, but looked at Qiu Chi with some surprise.
Today, Qiu Chi obviously took some careful care and saw that the ink-colored Confucian robe worn by Qiu Chi was rarely worn by him today. This was made of Shu brocade. On weekdays, Qiu Chi was only worn on some important festivals or scenes. He wore a scholar on his head, and his skin color was a little whiter than before.
Looking at Ye Zhao's strange gaze, Qiu Chi rarely showed a little shy expression and said, "Since you are going to visit Mr. Bo Ji, don't lose your etiquette. I... made a little preparation."
"A little?" Guan Hai grinned when he heard this: "I started bathing and changing clothes last night and burning incense. I didn't know, but I thought I was going to see the emperor."
"What are you talking about, damn barbarian! Be careful that disaster comes from your mouth!" Qiu Chi's face turned red and glared at Guan Hai fiercely, but Guan Hai laughed without any sense of it, almost attacking Qiu Chi.
Looking at Qiu Chi's embarrassed expression, Ye Zhao didn't know what to say, was he too casual in his attitude towards the teacher.
Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao and smiled bitterly, "Cai Weng is the best friend of the scholars and Lin. We are the model-making master. I want to... If you want to meet Cai Weng, you should be more formal, so..."
"Okay, I understand, prepare to go." Ye Zhao expressed his understanding, looked at Tianse and smiled: "Don't be too restrictive, my mentor is not as serious as you think."
"Here!"
Because it was just a normal visit, Ye Zhao only brought Qiu Chi and rushed to the city without taking the guards.
Although Cai Yong is famous in Wu County, his place to live is not luxurious. In a manor in the east corner of the city, it is an old house passed down from the ancestors of the Cai family. When Ye Zhao brought Qiu Chi, Cai Yi, the manager of the Cai family, was already waiting at the door.
"Uncle Yi, I haven't seen you for five years, you are still so healthy." Ye Zhao turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and smiled at Cai Yi.
As a disciple of Cai Yong, Ye Zhao lived in the Cai Mansion for a long time to study, and was not unfamiliar with the elderly people of the Cai family.
"Young Master Zhao can learn to be polite, which is really rare." Cai Yi looked at Ye Zhao in surprise. In the past, Ye Zhao was a nerd figure. Although he was also polite, he would say hello when he saw him, but it was all very formal. Now that he said hello like this is less formal, it makes people feel more close.
"People will always grow up." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Can mentor be in the mansion?"
"I'm here, I know you're coming today, so I asked me to wait here early in the morning." Cai Yi said with some complaints.
"That's really painful Uncle Yi." Ye Zhao felt warm when he heard this. His teacher was really useless to him.
"I won't talk about this anymore. The master is already waiting in the study room and asks you to go to the study room to see him as soon as you come." Cai Yi said with a smile.
The interview in the study and the interview in the living room are two different concepts. People who are not close to each other do not have this treatment. Hearing this, Qiu Chi, who was beside him, couldn't help but look envious in his eyes.
Now Ye Zhao has completely integrated the memories of his predecessor, and is familiar with the Cai family. He followed Cai Yi all the way to the study.
"Young Master, wait a moment." The three of them stopped in front of the study, and Cai Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Master, Young Master Ye Zhao is here."
"It's Xiuming, come in quickly." Cai Yong's cheerful voice came from the study.
At Cai Yi's instructions, Ye Zhao took the gift box from Qiu Chi and entered the study.
Perhaps because of the intrigue relationships in the officialdom, after three years of not seeing each other, Cai Yong's complexion was much better than before. Ye Zhao entered the house, placed the gift box on the table beside him, and bowed to Cai Yong: "Students pay homage to their mentor."
"Why did Xiuming learn such a cliché?" Cai Yong glanced at the gift box and looked up at Ye Zhao and said.
"This is the wild ginseng that the student dug in his own area when he was in Liaodong, which has a nourishing effect." Ye Zhao knelt in front of Cai Yong with a smile and said, "The student is full of thought, and it is not bought by him. I will replenish his body for his mentor."
"It's good to have this kind of heart." Cai Yong put down the bamboo paper in his hand and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "In the past three years, Xiuming has done in the north. I have also heard of what Lu Zigan has commented on your methods in front of me several times. You have already achieved the samadhi of military strategy and did a good job. It's a pity for Liu Mao."
"This time the student was transferred from Youzhou is related to... General of the Central Army?" Ye Zhao raised his head and looked at Cai Yong.
