Chapter 3709 Gift
After getting up from bed the next day, Fan Jian pinched Chen Xi’s flesh and said strangely, “I thought you would get a lot of weight when you traveled east. Didn’t you say that you ate very well in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and you even recorded a secret magic mirror for us to tempt us? How much meat you look like when you touch it.”
"How could it be that fat? Although I recorded a lot of secret mirrors for you to see at that time, I still have to consider running around, which requires effort and research." Chen Xi said resentfully, "On the contrary, you have grown a little bit more. It's great to be at home."
"Hmph, I know you're not meant to send the secret magic mirror back." Fan Jian took Chen Xi's outer robe over and said unhappily.
"How could it be that I was malicious? I said I would take you there, but you didn't." Chen Xi said with some flattery, grabbing the traditional bun.
"I can't open the secret magic mirror." Fan Jian said quietly, and Chen Xi was silent for a while.
"Yun'er can be opened." Chen Xi said in a low voice. Fan Jian squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Xi. Chen Xi laughed dryly, saying nothing.
"Go to the Government Affairs Department quickly. Recently, many wives came to me to inquire about the news. Even my aunt has come over. Go and handle your work." After putting on Chen Xi's outer robe, Fan Jian pushed Chen Xi out, "Well, Mi'er, still hasn't awakened spiritual talent, right?"
"It's a little over time." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Qualification is only qualifications, which determines the upper limit, but efforts have determined whether the lower limit of the conditions can be reached."
"By the way, you have time to go to Sima's family recently, and Zhongda is going to get married." Fan Jian didn't say anything more when he heard this, and then recalled the relatively important family matters recently, and chose the important ones to tell Chen Xi.
"After all, I am his cousin from afar. I really won't give me an invitation when he gets married." Chen Xi said with a smile, while Fan Jian glared at Chen Xi after hearing this.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Xi nodded quickly.
In fact, this was Chen Xi neglected. At that time, Sima gave gifts before Chen Xi's marriage and came to the door. Moreover, Sima Yi went there in person, giving one gift every time. If Chen Xi was far away, then nothing would be said. Now in Chang'an, it is appropriate to arrive with the gift in advance. After all, both parties are indeed in kinship.
"Then you post first. I'll come back early in the afternoon and take you with me." Chen Xi could only say that she was negligent, and it wasn't that she really didn't understand these things. After reacting, she smiled and said to Mandarin.
"In this case, I have not prepared the gift yet." Fanjian said hesitantly.
"Berda gave me a jade pendant back then, so I'll find a jade tripod to Zhongda as a congratulations and expectation. Zhongda really deserves a beating back then." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"Don't you give me some books or something?" said Manjian with some thoughts. As a wife, Chen Xi's study can also be accessed, so she has seen many booklets in it.
"Zhongda learned a lot, but only he agreed with the one who entered his mind. He is old and not so easy to accept." Chen Xi sighed and said, "But it's not bad now."
"That's it, my husband, let's go first, I'll prepare for a visit to the Sima family." Fan Jian nodded, then sent Chen Xi out and ordered people to prepare a visit to the Sima family.
As for something that happened to Chen Xi could not come back on time, it was impossible. In the impression of traditional Chinese and simple over the years, his husband could get off work on time every day as long as he wanted.
Chen Xi came out of the inner courtyard and first raised her up for her eldest son Chen Yu who was having fun in the yard. She made Chen Yu very happy and threw it to someone else, and ran out quickly.
After leaving the house, I changed into a carriage and decisively took a detour. After all, I came back yesterday and didn’t go to Cai Yan’s side. Today, I had to go and see it, no matter what, and said that I was back.
But when Chen Xi came to Cai Yan's side, he found that his second son was gone, and only two cubs, Yang Huiyu and Yang Hu, were reading books, and cries came from the inner room?
"What's the situation? Is your aunt hitting your cousin?" Chen Xi asked as she looked at Yang Hu who was trying hard to read. Both children were very smart and had the ability to describe the incident in detail, so Chen Xi asked directly.
"No, it was Sister Xianying who ran over to find her aunt." Yang Hu shook her head and said, "Sister Xianying looks in a bad mood."
"Oh, who offended my apprentice again?" Chen Xi thought for a while, asked casually, and then walked into the inner room. As a result, he saw Xin Xianying pounced on Cai Yan's arms and whimpering.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi saw Xin Xianying whimpering and scratched her head. Is there anyone in Chang'an who doesn't know that this is his apprentice these days?
"Master?" Xin Xianying looked at Chen Xi with a little redness. Chen Xi quickly asked Xin Xianying to get up, while Cai Yan smiled aside.
"What's wrong, this kid?" Chen Xi looked at Xin Xianying, and Cai Yan waved his hand and signaled Xin Xianying to go out for fun. With Xin Xianying there, there was something hard to say.
Xin Xianying wiped her tears and then ran away, Chen Xi was confused.
"What's wrong, this is it?" Chen Xi looked at Xin Xianying who had run away and was a little surprised.
"Xianying has grown up and it will be fine in two days." Cai Yan said to Chen Xi angrily.
"What's the situation?" Chen Xi said with an unhappy expression, "My apprentice is so obedient. Who is causing trouble for her? Do you want to be beaten?"
"It was your apprentice who fell in love with Cao Zixiu, but today I realized that Cao Zixiu is his wife." Cai Yan replied casually, "and then he was hit hard, and that's how it turned out."
"Ah?" Chen Xi was stunned, "She is only fourteen years old."
Chen Xi counted the time. Xin Xianying was born in 191. Now he is the sixth year of Zhenyuanfeng, which is 204. He is fine at the age of fourteen.
"It's time to find a suitable family," Cai Yan said lazyly.
"The problem is that Cao Zixiu is about the same age as me." Chen Xi scratched his head, "Does this kid like uncles now? He is much worse at this age."
Cai Yan chuckled twice when he heard this, and explained Xin Xianying's situation to Chen Xi. Chen Xi understood it slightly, and then recalled that it seemed that there was really nothing suitable.
"Is Cao Zixiu married? Why don't I remember?" Chen Xi scratched his head. He knew that Cao Cao wanted his eldest son to marry Ma Yunlu, but he was intercepted by Zhao Yun. Then Cao Ang had no further information. Unexpectedly, he was married now.
"Who are you with?" Chen Xi asked casually.
"The legitimate daughter of Wei." Cai Yan smiled and said, "I have seen a girl with a very docile personality several times before."
"Oh, I can't find any problem if it's reasonable." Chen Xi nodded slightly. There was nothing to say. In Cao Ang's situation, if you want to marry, in Cao Cao's situation, the most formal one is to marry Xun Yu's daughter or Wei Zi's daughter.
Needless to say, Xun Yu is Cao Cao's most important collaborator, and Wei Zi is Cao Cao's most iron supporter. What's more important is that Wei Zi is not dead. So whether Cao Ang married Wei Zi's daughter or Xun Yu's daughter, it is a combination of emerging princes and ancient wealthy families.
If you really want to say something, it depends on this fate. There is no difference in political factors. Anyway, I will marry a daughter to you for the family I can't marry. Just like Xun Yun's wife, the Lord of Anyang County, is actually Cao Cao's daughter.
So Chen Xi learned that Cao Ang married Wei Zi's daughter, but there was actually no strange feeling. Isn't this a natural thing?
"Actually, the most important thing is that Chen Changwen married Xun Wenruo's only daughter." Cai Yan said with a chuckling, "That child is called Tai, right?"
"Well, Chen Tai." Chen Xi nodded.
"So your apprentice's little thoughts evaporated before they were exposed." Cai Yan said with a smile. In fact, Cai Yan also had the same meaning. Unless Xin Xianying took the initiative, Cai Yan would not recommend Xin Xianying to be a concubine.
That's right, Cao Ang's identity is actually equivalent to that of the prince, but even so, Xin Xianying felt that she was always losing money, so she cried and changed to a suitable target.
"Speaking of this, Yu'er is only three years old after the New Year. Should she send her to me for enlightenment?" Cai Yanshun asked calmly because of her hair falling down when she lowered her head, "Relatively speaking, my elementary school is better, and Chen'er is too lonely alone."
"Uh, let's not do it first, wait three years later." Chen Xi shook his head. Although what Cai Yan said made sense, he would wait a little longer. "But when it comes to speaking, where is my son?"
"I've sent it to my sister's house and asked her to help discipline her." Cai Yan shook her head and said, "In fact, I plan to ask my sister to help with her son, and I can't bear to beat Chen'er."
"Oh." Chen Xi didn't know what to say, and looked at Cai Yan with a smile on his face, "Speaking of it, I'm back, are you any surprises?"
A faint dizziness appeared on Cai Yan's face, and then he stood up and pushed Chen Xi out.
"Go to the Zhengyuan to work. The Central Plains family is still waiting for you to work. Sima Zhongda is getting married. I am not suitable for going there. Please help me bring a gift and help me with a gift." Cai Yan pushed Chen Xi away, saying as he walked.
Because there are many things that come and go to see off from major families, Cai Yan can let her maid take care of, but it is difficult for the maid to handle such important things on her behalf, and she needs to deal with them personally.
After all, these relationships need to be maintained. Since the Cai family has not collapsed and it has to be passed on to his son, Cai Yan needs to manage these relationships, so he can't be disconnected.
"Okay, OK, I'll send it to you at that time." Chen Xi replied while leaving, "What is the gift?"
