Cai Jin couldn't help but be a little surprised, but his eyes lit up.
If she could teach what she has learned to others and bring some light to the world like her grandfather did during his lifetime, then she would be very happy!
"After Miss Cai became a famous Confucian, she won the emperor's praise for her calligraphy and painting during the construction of Wanfu Tower. In terms of talent and reputation, she is well-deserved."
Xu Mingyi said and looked at Xu Yun: "And in this way, the play we did before will be more complete."
In these days, the relationship between the second uncle and Cai Jin was close in the eyes of the emperor.
If Cai Jin returns to Jiangnan, his second uncle is indifferent and has no reaction at all. Wouldn't it be justified?
But it was impossible to marry her just like that. First of all, her grandfather would not agree, so her second uncle "had no choice but" to take this compromise method to keep her in the capital.
In this way, the emperor may still feel that Cai Jin is still valuable, and since he is in the capital, in full view of the public, the possibility of taking action is extremely small.
She couldn't guarantee that it would be foolproof, but this method was indeed the best she could think of at the moment.
As for leaving people directly in the Zhenguo Palace, that is obviously unrealistic.
Firstly, there is no proper reason, and secondly, the subsequent situation of their Zhenguo Palace may not be more stable than Miss Cai herself.
"Your method sounds quite promising." Xu Yun hesitated and asked slowly with his niece: "But how can you be sure... Yunyao Academy will sell your second uncle and me for my face?"
Woolen cloth?"
It seems that in my niece's mind, he still has a certain prestige in the literary world in Beijing.
Cai Jin glanced at Mr. Xu who was finally proud in front of his niece.
Why does Mr. Xu confidently believe that Yunyao Academy must look after him?
Thinking about the reputation of the descendants of her Cai family, it is also very resounding.
Looking at the two people who seemed to have their own thoughts, Xu Mingyi hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to explain why he thought of using this method——
"I'm afraid my second uncle has forgotten that Yunyao Academy was originally built with money from my mother."
The headmaster of the academy could be regarded as her mother's best friend during her lifetime.
The reason why I asked my second uncle to write this letter was just to have a matching title.
When Xu Yun heard this, his hand holding the chess piece paused in mid-air.
Immediately, he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I haven't forgotten, but my second uncle just thinks you have forgotten..."
Cai Jin could only smile and say: "...Your Majesty really has far-reaching thoughts and deep thoughts. This is the true role model for women in the world."
Xu Mingyi was noncommittal.
A female role model?
Maybe so.
But according to what she heard from her father, it was the headmaster of Yunyao Academy who came to her mother and wanted to discuss the matter with her, but her mother readily agreed without even hearing the whole story.
So, this is probably too much money, so I have to find some place to spend it.
"If Miss Cai and my second uncle feel that this method is still feasible, they should do it sooner rather than later. My uncle will write a letter tomorrow and ask someone to deliver it."
Xu Yun nodded without any objection.
There is no need for his favor anyway, just writing a letter is a breeze.
Cai Jin stood up and gave a solemn salute to Xu Mingyi.
"Thank you so much, Miss Xu, for your help. Cai Jin will remember it in my heart."
"No need to say thank you, this is what I promised Miss Cai before."
Cai Jin smiled.
Before, Miss Xu just said that her life would be safe if she stayed at the Zhenguo Palace for one day, but now she is leaving the Zhenguo Palace.
So, I still have to thank you.
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 and make some snacks and fried food?"
After all, she has nothing else she is good at. Now she is only good at cooking, which she can use to express her gratitude.
Xu Mingyi said softly "Ah" and said: "Let's go some other time, I have something else to do and need to go out."
In fact, Ms. Cai's current craftsmanship is indeed acceptable, but how can I say this kind of thing? She probably has a shadow in her heart.
Seeing that her niece had run away, Xu Yun was very disappointed.
This is his yard, he can't run away.
When he heard the word "fried food", he couldn't help but think of the chive box that Miss Cai had fried the day before yesterday -
The leek box was so big that even a plate couldn't hold it.
He couldn't help but ask 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?
Not to mention those who eat.
But the other party exploded and exploded a dozen of them.
In the end, it was cut with a knife and eaten by everyone in the courtyard, so that there was no waste.
"Let's finish this game first..." Xu Yun chose to escape for the time being.
Only then did Cai Jin remember that the chess game was not over, and hurriedly sat back.
She played very seriously.
In the end, Xu Yun won.
This is not surprising, after all, 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 is very nice.
"I feel a little regretful that I can no longer play chess with Mr. Xu." Cai Jin held the tea cup and asked with a smile: "Before I leave, can I ask Mr. Xu a question?"
Xu Yun looked at her strangely: "You're not going back to Jiangnan. Why do you act like you'll never see us again in the future?"
Cai Jin sighed quietly: "Sir, he doesn't go out, so it would be strange to see him."
Although they are both in the capital together, it is extremely possible for her to leave and not see Mr. Xu again for the rest of her life.
Xu Yun choked up after hearing this, and then couldn't help but feel that this was indeed the case...
"Can I ask sir a question?" Cai Jin asked again.
"If you have anything you can or cannot ask, just ask."
Whether he answers or not depends on his mood.
Xu Yun drank tea with a leisurely expression.
Cai Jin leaned forward, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, and asked softly: "Sir...who is that person?"
"Who?" Xu Yun was confused.
Cai Jin's voice became softer: "The person hidden in your heart, sir..."
Xu Yun's face hardened, and he said after a while: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl?"
Cai Jin sat up straight and grunted softly, which he did not dare to admit.
Xu Yun glanced sideways at her, then suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "As you said, there is indeed such a person who has always been in my heart and has never been forgotten..."
Cai Jin blinked.
After subconsciously denying it, are you willing to talk about it?
"Sir, have I seen that man?"
"I have never seen it, but I must have heard of it."
