Cai Yong, the owner of the Cai Mansion, looked confused, "Have you found out? Who is the neighbor next door?"
As a wealthy man from Luoyang, he had a high official position and was originally surrounded by acquaintances.
When a strange neighbor suddenly moved in, he suddenly felt strange and thought about asking the servants at home to inquire.
Then get to know each other better.
From now on, it will be good to chat with others, and it will also be good to get to know one more neighbor.
Many friends mean many paths.
He understands this very well, but it just goes against his wishes.
The servants he sent did not find out. They only knew that the owner of the mansion next door was Xin Jiang.
A surname he had never heard of.
It seems that this surname does not exist among the princes and nobles.
But judging from the structure of Jiang Mansion, he should be very rich, which is definitely not something ordinary people can have.
Therefore, Cai Yong is more concerned.
"Master, I haven't checked it yet, so..."
The people in the Cai Mansion were a little bitter and looked ugly.
Even after inquiring for many days, he still could not find out the specific situation of Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Mansion seems to be very mysterious. There is no trace of him at all, no trace of him or any news about him.
The servant of the Cai Mansion continued: "Sir, the Jiang Mansion is very mysterious. There has been no relevant information about them."
"They keep the door closed?"
Cai Yong was a little surprised, "It stands to reason that if you can buy the house next door, the person you buy is not a simple person. At the very least, he is from a wealthy family. How can he keep the door closed all the time?"
He couldn't understand it.
According to normal logic, wealthy families would open their doors to allow disciples from poor families to come to seek advice and become their vassals.
This is the correct way to open it.
The reality was different from what he had imagined, which made him feel silent and horrified.
Extremely shocked.
The servant continued: "Master, why don't you forget it?"
He thought to himself: Since no one is willing to take the initiative to make friends, why do you care so much?
Anyway, sir, you have a great reputation.
One more is not too much, and one less is not too little.
Why go through the trouble of making friends?
That would be of no use.
Hearing this, Cai Yong frowned and said, "That being said, it would be good for us as neighbors to get to know each other better."
One more friend, one more path.
He understands this.
At this time, the butler next to him couldn't help but said: "Master, why don't you pay me a visit?"
If you really want to know who the other party is, this is the best way.
It is also the most feasible method.
"pay a visit to?"
Cai Yong was a little lost in thought, and he said hesitantly for a while: "If you really want to visit, wouldn't I..."
Losing face.
It is really.
As a member of a noble family and a famous scholar, Cai Yong had a high reputation in the Han Dynasty.
With such a high level, it was really a bit condescending for him to humble himself and visit an unknown person.
At this time, there was no Yellow Turban chaos in the world, and Dong Zhuo's domination of the imperial city had not yet occurred, so he naturally thought that he was superior to others.
This society is naturally hierarchical.
Even if Cai Yong did not deliberately maintain this level, he was still a beneficiary of the upper-class scholar-bureaucrats.
The rest of the people saw this.
He couldn't help but lower his head and became silent.
It was difficult for him to calm down his inner thoughts, but he also wanted to know who lived next door.
To be able to take possession of such a big house, I guess you are not an ordinary person.
Therefore, Cai Yong started to think about making friends.
He really wanted to see if it was the same as he imagined.
"Master, would you like to go in and take a look?"
A servant asked cautiously.
Actually.
It's just a tentative question.
After all, he wasn't sure what was going on.
If my master doesn't accept it, there is nothing I can do.
"you go?"
Cai Yong thought for a while and finally shook his head in denial, "Forget it, I'll go for it.
Your status is too low.
After entering, I didn't know what to say.
I'd better go."
"But sir, it's not appropriate for you to go."
The servant said: "You are a person of high status, how can you go and visit me in person?"
"I'll make it more suitable."
Cai Yong said calmly, "Go down and prepare the gifts. Once you have prepared the gifts, you can go and visit."
He wanted to see which big shot lived next door.
"yes."
The servants went down respectfully and got ready.
What you give as a gift is also very particular.
Especially in this era.
All kinds of classes, all kinds of different characters.
They are all clearly distinguished.
Cai Yong decided to pay a personal visit because he was puzzled.
Perhaps, there are unexpected gains.
The imperial bureaucracy is controlled by Shi Changshi, and a person like him can only serve as a sinecure at most.
For now, there is not much progress in career.
Since it was unlikely, he didn't have many ideas.
The current situation is quite good.
It's not bad to live an ordinary life and make some friends.
After a cup of tea.
The gift is ready.
"Let's go."
Cai Yong wanted to visit. As an upper-class figure in this society, he naturally needed to bring some entourage.
"Yes, sir."
The servants all nodded in agreement, "I wonder if the people in Jiang Mansion will jump with joy if they learn that the master is visiting?"
“You’ll know if you go and see it?”
Cai Yong also answered casually.
He thought to himself: "In this situation, I'm afraid the other party will be surprised when they see me."
After all, his identity as Cai Yong is not simple.
Others will be excited when they see him. At the level of literati, Cai Yong is considered a good person.
It's quite exciting to think about it.
During this time, he felt that that person was quite mysterious.
There were also servants coming in and out of the Jiang Mansion next door, but they mostly left in a hurry and came back in a hurry.
Then don't worry about anything else.
No matter how others ask, he won't answer.
This kind of thing has happened many times, and they have already understood it.
Many people want to come and inquire about Jiang Mansion, but not everyone can inquire about Jiang Mansion.
Even now in Jiang Mansion, apart from Jiang Que, there is only one practitioner, Dian Wei, and no one else dares to have any objections.
For them, there is now a goal.
Naturally, we have to work hard towards this goal.
"Master, this is Jiang Mansion."
Arriving at the gate of Jiang Mansion, the servant next to Cai Yong said respectfully: "However, the door here is closed."
"Knock on the door."
Cai Yong said calmly: "There must be someone in the mansion, but I wonder why they keep the door closed?"
This is quite surprising.
The situation is a bit special and a bit unbelievable.
but……
Cai Yong was only slightly surprised and then relieved.
There are so many weirdos in this world.
In the same way, it is quite normal for people to live their lives with the door closed.
Nothing unusual.
Everything makes sense.
He was calm on the inside, but actually looked serious.
What if the host doesn’t welcome me?
Just as he was thinking about it, a question came from inside: "Who is it? What's the matter?"
The entourage around Cai Yong immediately replied: "We are from the mansion next door. My master came to pay a visit. I hope to see you when the door is opened."
Inside Jiang Mansion: "..."
For a moment, there was silence.
With his confused expression, the voice of old housekeeper Lao Luo came from behind him, "What's going on?"
The servants of the Jiang Mansion quickly replied: "Go back to the housekeeper, they said it's someone from the house next door, and the owner of the house next door is here to visit."
"Um?"
Lao Luo was stunned and couldn't help asking: "In that case, why don't you hurry up and open the door to greet me?"
As the saying goes, visitors are guests.
Naturally, you have to open the door to welcome him.
Immediately, the housekeeper Lao Luo continued: "Go and open the door to greet them and take them to the living room. I will ask the master for instructions."
"Yes, butler."
After Lao Luo left, the man immediately opened the door.
Outside the door: "..."
Cai Yong and the others looked bitter, "The lover's family didn't take us seriously at all."
Yes, it’s solid.
They probably look down on their neighbor.
However, Cai Yong was a little confused inside.
Feeling very uncomfortable.
However, now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired.
He had to go in too.
"Everyone, please come with me."
The servants of Jiang Mansion said respectfully: "Since you are here to visit, you should also know my master's name. Please follow me to the living room."
As the steward of the Jiang Mansion, Lao Luo immediately ran to look for Jiang Chi, "Master, someone is here to visit."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Jiang Que raised his eyebrows, "Do you know who he is?"
Lao Luo quickly explained, "They belong to the house next door, and they seem to be the same owner.
I've already asked them to come to the living room."
"oh?"
Jiang Duan nodded and said, "Lead the way. I'll go meet the other party and see what they think."
Since I'm here to visit, I must have some ideas.
but……
He wasn't panicked at all.
"Yes, sir, please."
Lao Luo followed Jiang Chi respectfully, and the two of them walked towards the living room together.
Soon.
Jiang Mansion, in the living room.
Jiang Chi looked at Cai Yong in the living room and couldn't help but become confused, "Who are you?"
"My lord, Cai Yong, you must be the master of this place, right?"
Cai Yong was also good at observing words and expressions.
He looked calm, but his eyes fell on Jiang Chi and he looked at him carefully.
He was shocked in his heart, "I didn't expect that such a young person would be the owner of this mansion. Isn't he too young?"
Really surprised.
It's really scary.
He was so frightened that he was stunned for a moment.
It's really bluffing.
Jiang Que's eyes moved and fell on Cai Yong, "Cai Yong? Isn't that Cai Wenji's father?"
His mansion is actually next to Cai Yong.
Still neighbors.
this……
Jiang Chi had to say that this was actually a kind of fate.
"I met Mr. Cai in Xiajiangque."
With Cai Yong's attainments in literature, he can definitely be called a master.
Very respected.
"Young Master Jiang, you are so polite. I saw someone opening a mansion next door to the mansion a few days ago, but I have never met him before."
Cai Yong said: "I didn't know it was Mr. Jiang, so I came here specially to visit. I hope Mr. Jiang won't blame me for disturbing him."
"how could be."
Jiang Chi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's really rare for everyone in Cai to condescend to come to my small temple."
As soon as the words fell.
Jiang Chi then ordered to Lao Luo next to him: "Come on, serve tea to everyone Cai, the best kind."
"Yes, sir."
Lao Luo naturally went to give orders.
To him, this is the most important thing.
Everything the young master said is right.
Just do it.
"Mr. Jiang, besides coming to visit and getting acquainted, this old man actually has other ideas."
Cai Yong said slowly: "I see Mr. Jiang is also a person who loves literature and art. I wonder what Mr. Jiang thinks of literature?"
"Sit and watch."
Jiang Que smiled lightly and said, "As it is now, just sit and watch."
Cai Yong: "..."
Hearing this, the corners of Cai Yong's mouth twitched slightly, "Ahem, Mr. Jiang is joking.
I wonder where Young Master Jiang comes from?"
As he spoke, he pretended to be mysterious.
"..."
Jiang Que secretly thought, "This is probably your true purpose, Cai Yong."
Everything before was just a trial.
One of them cursed the old fox in his heart, and the other cursed the little fox in his heart.
In this era, aristocratic families are respected and dominate the world's affairs.
As a member of the aristocratic family, Cai Yong naturally wanted to find out Jiang Chi's specific origins and understand Jiang Chi's identity.
Only in this way can we make friends.
"I'm just a mountain cultivator."
Jiang Qian said casually, only when the truth is true and the lies are false can the lies be true.
"oh?"
Cai Yong was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Is it the kind of legendary pre-Qin Qi practitioner?"
"Yes and no."
Jiang Chi said: "If you really think so, it's not impossible and you can understand it this way."
