Traitors of the Manchu dynasty, why do you make me an emperor through the ages Chapter 276 Auntie, you don't want my father to know about playing cards all night, right?
Chapter 276 Auntie, you don't want my father to know about playing cards all night, right?
Cai You stared at the situation in the courtyard with dumbfounded eyes, almost using all his strength not to scream out.
Lu Bu was afraid that he would make any noise, so he didn't let him look at him for too long, and quickly pulled him down again.
"Lu...Brother Lu..."
When Cai You returned to the bottom, his eyes were still straight, sweat was pouring on his forehead, and he could not calm down for a long time.
Shh~
Lu Bu first signaled him not to speak, then picked him up and walked towards the bamboo forest where he came from.
He didn't stop until he came to the shadows, far away from the house, and the melancholy sound in his ears gradually weakened.
During the whole process, Cai You didn't make any move, and he looked like he was stupid.
It stands to reason that every one of the women inside is his aunt, and Cai You would never look up from them on weekdays.
Every time they met, Cai You treated each other with courtesy and called her aunt, and they would also call Cai You respectfully and dignified. They almost never violated etiquette and rules.
But Cai You never thought that these aunts who were usually extremely solemn would have such a side behind them. This strong contrast has made Cai You a little confused to this day.
"Brother Cai?"
Seeing that he was stunned for a long time, Lu Bu couldn't help but remind him: "Are you okay?"
Cai You was startled and suddenly came to his senses: "No...I'm fine!"
"It's just...it's just..." As he said that, he looked at Lu Bu with strange and complicated eyes.
He had never known about such secrets within the Cai Mansion, and an outsider like Lu Bu knew about it. This...
Cai You hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lu, who are those men there...?"
Although Cai You had no feelings for those aunts, they were his father's wives and concubines after all.
Looking at the current situation, Cai Jing's head may have turned frighteningly green...
Meeting his gaze, Lu Bu was still a little uncomfortable.
"There are passers-by inside..."
"Passenger?"
Cai You was even more shocked. He originally thought these people were lovers, but passers-by... This was simply beyond the limit of what he could imagine.
"Brother Lu, what on earth is going on?"
Lu Bu sighed and explained: "A few days ago, I drank unconsciously in a restaurant. I got lost in the capital and ended up here by mistake."
Cai You's brows jumped. How could he accidentally enter such a high courtyard wall?
However, when he thought of Lu Bu's terrifying skills, he suppressed the doubt in his heart. Perhaps the high wall that was insurmountable for normal people was just a small fence for him.
"Not this way."
Lu Bu seemed to have noticed his doubts and explained bluntly: "There is a low wall in another place. These people probably came in from that way."
Then he recounted what happened that day.
"I was very drunk for my brother that day and accidentally entered here. When I woke up the next day, I was already sleeping on the street."
Lu Bu said solemnly: "At that time, I just thought I had a dream, but when I passed by this place later, I unexpectedly found someone climbing over the low wall over there. I was curious and followed in, so I found out
That’s what happened today.”
Cai You was dumbfounded as he listened.
These aunts of his actually picked up drunk men on the street to have sex with each other... What was the difference between this and the fireworks women in the brothel?
"Brother Cai..."
There was a hint of guilt on Lu Bu's face: "I was drunk that day and had no idea what I had done. I might have done something I shouldn't have done..."
Lu Bu said that this was all a drunken mistake.
Cai Youqiang laughed: "It doesn't matter, Brother Lu made it unintentionally. Besides, they are all...all..."
The implication is that you are no longer missing.
Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Brother Cai, since I found out about what happened here that day, I have come to quietly investigate several times."
Facing Cai You's gaze, he hurriedly added: "I came here secretly to investigate, and I didn't let others find out."
Cai You sighed tiredly, just let it be what you say.
Lu Bu said solemnly: "I found that some of the people outside came here by chance. After spending the night, they just thought it was a big dream and gradually forgot about this place. Some gradually became regular visitors here."
"And these... aunts of yours come here in turn almost every day, almost without interruption."
Come here in turn...
Cai You's eyes darkened. It turned out that those people he saw just now were not all, there were also people coming in turns...
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Brother Lu, have you seen it here..."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly. He didn't know what he thought of, and his face gradually turned gloomy.
Lu Bu did not ask any further questions, and just sighed deeply: "Brother Cai, ever since I found out about this house that day, I have been extremely confused about whether or not to tell you about this."
"After all, this matter is unusual. These women are also your elders. Even if you know about it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."
This makes sense. This kind of thing can only be handled by Cai Jing himself. Cai You is his son no matter what, so it is not easy for him to get involved.
Of course, Lu Bu had also imagined many strange plots, such as: Auntie, you don’t want my father to know about playing cards all night long... It’s really nice to think about it. It’s a bit exciting.
But no matter what Cai You does, Lu Bu probably won't be able to see it.
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for thinking about me."
Cai You forced a smile on his face: "Thank you also, Brother Lu, for being honest and informing me about this matter."
"Alas~"
Lu Bu was a little disappointed and sighed with regret: "Brother Cai, what are you going to do? Tell your father about this?"
Cai You's expression immediately became condensed. He didn't say yes or no, but solemnly told Lu Bu: "Brother Lu, can I ask you a favor?"
Lu Bu immediately patted his chest: "But it doesn't matter!"
Cai You smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "This matter is a scandal in my family after all. I hope Brother Lu won't tell others..."
"That's natural!"
Lu Bu immediately looked serious: "I'm not an ignorant fool. I won't reveal this matter without brother Cai telling me."
"Since I accidentally entered here a few days ago, I have never disclosed this matter to outsiders!"
Earlier, there is no guarantee.
Cai You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Thank you so much, Brother Lu."
Lu Bu looked at his expression and couldn't help but said: "However, there are a lot of people here, and there are many people coming and going. Even if I don't tell it, it may be revealed by others. Brother Cai needs to make preparations in advance."
Cai You's face trembled and he nodded: "I... understand, Brother Lu."
Seeing this, Lu Bu sighed: "Brother Cai, it's too late, why don't we just call it a night."
"There will be curfew soon, so I'll go home first."
As for Cai You...this is his home.
Cai You nodded, with a hint of apology on his face: "I'm really neglecting Brother Lu if I can't see you off today."
"Tomorrow at noon, I will hold a banquet at Huabao Tower to apologize to Brother Lu."
Lu Bu was really surprised this time: "Actually..."
"Brother Lu, there is no need to shirk."
Cai You shook his head: "It's just a meal, it's nothing."
Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then I'll see you at Huabao Tower tomorrow."
After saying that, he stopped talking and turned around and disappeared into the dark bamboo forest where he came from.
Cai You silently watched his back until he was completely invisible, and the sound of rustling in the bamboo forest gradually faded away.
The moonlight shone through the bamboo forests on both sides of the path, illuminating Cai You's face mottledly, reflecting his extremely complex expression.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
After standing for a long time, he took a long breath and walked towards the small courtyard by the lake just now.
On the other side, Lu Bu also came all the way to the courtyard wall.
After jumping up the wall, what was waiting for him outside the wall was an inconspicuous little carriage.
The strong man driving the car was startled at first by the black shadow that suddenly appeared on the wall. It took him a moment to realize that it was Lu Bu.
"grown ups."
Zhuge Liang was still sitting cross-legged in the carriage, swaying his feather fan and closing his eyes to relax. After hearing this, he opened his eyes and planned to open the door.
But at this moment, Lu Bu, who was standing on the wall, had some hesitation on his face.
"grown ups?"
The coachman called out in confusion again, a little confused as to why he didn't get off quickly and leave.
Zhuge Liang was also stunned, and hurriedly stuck his head out of the carriage and looked upward.
Lu Bu stood on the wall for a long time before letting out a long sigh. After all, he could not resist the curiosity in his heart.
"You guys go back first, and I'll go find out more."
Without giving the two people below a chance to speak, he turned around and flew away.
The driver was dumbfounded and was about to shout to stop him, but Zhuge Liang stopped him.
"Since Mr. Lu asked us to leave, let's go first."
"But……"
The driver hesitated.
"Lord Lu is very capable and will never cause trouble no matter where he is."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and advised: "On the contrary, it is you and me who are aiming too big in the carriage."
"If he is discovered later by officers and soldiers on patrol at night, wouldn't that be a hindrance to him?"
The coachman couldn't resist him, so he had to raise his whip and drive the car quietly away...
The next day, it was still the private room of Huabao Tower.
Lu Bu accepted the invitation again and opened the door of the elegant chamber.
Crunch~
Cai You hurriedly stood up to greet him, smiled and asked him to sit down.
"Brother Lu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."
After closing the door, Cai You solemnly saluted him.
Lu Bu looked at him, the weirdness in his eyes flashed, and then he held up his shoulders: "Why do you and I brothers do this?"
"If Brother Lu hadn't discovered this, I would still be kept in the dark."
After Cai You got up, he took out a small wooden box from under the table and placed it solemnly on the table.
Lu Bu looked at his behavior in confusion.
Cai You took out the key, opened the box, and immediately released the jewels and treasures without reservation.
"this……"
Lu Bu was shocked: "Brother Cai, what are you..."
"These are the thank you gifts from my younger brother to Brother Lu."
Cai You handed the box to Lu Bu and said with some embarrassment: "We only have these yellow and white things at the moment. I really don't mean to neglect Brother Lu."
"No, I can't accept this."
Lu Bu immediately refused righteously and said: "Brother Cai, who do you think I am?"
"Could it be that I told you that just to get your money?"
"Of course not!"
Cai You hurriedly explained: "Brother Lu, don't be angry. I naturally know that you are willing to remind me, just for the sake of the friendship between you and me."
"But since I have received favor from my elder brother, I must express it in some way, otherwise I will not be able to sleep or eat well."
Lu Bu frowned and looked at him for a moment, as if something had changed, but in the end he shook his head decisively: "No, I can't accept this thing."
"As you said, I am reminding you for the sake of our brotherhood. If you accept this thing, it will make me sleepless!"
"this……"
Cai You was so moved that he wanted to give this box of gold and silver treasures to him. The two of them pushed each other for a long time before Lu Bu reluctantly accepted it.
"Alas~"
Lu Bu looked like he had suffered a big loss and looked at the box of things with disgust: "Brother Cai, if it weren't for you, I would never accept these things!"
"Thank you, Brother Lu, thank you, Brother Lu..."
Although he was obviously giving money to Lu Bu, he thanked him profusely in the end.
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for giving me face."
Cai You was also very helpless: "It's not that I insist on giving this, but apart from these things, there is really nothing else I can get."
"I'm just a prodigal who inherited my father's shadow. I'm just lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty. Now I'm lucky enough to be able to find a small official in the Ministry of War..."
At this point, a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Except for a little bit of extravagant wealth, we are really broke and have nothing to offer."
Lu Bu paused for a moment after hearing this, with a bit of regret on his face.
After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "His Majesty actually knows the news about you going to the Ministry of War."
"ah?"
Cai You was stunned for a moment, and then a look of urgency appeared on his face: "Your Majesty..."
"His Majesty originally praised you as a down-to-earth person who works hard and is neither impetuous nor impetuous. He also wanted to give you a good background after a while..."
There was no excitement on Cai You's face, only nervousness.
originally……
This word is very subtle. It used to be there, but it may not be there now.
Cai You had never passed the imperial examination, and he thought he was not that capable.
Now, although Cai Jing has given him a job in the Ministry of War, if he continues like this, his achievements in the future will not be much higher. At most, he will only be a seventh-grade official. If he goes up any higher, he will probably be criticized by others.
If you fail to pass the Jinshi exam, you can only take other paths, such as being awarded a Jinshi.
The top three in the palace examination are all born with the same Jinshi background, but few people know that in addition to those who pass the examination, outsiders can also be given the same Jinshi background.
And there is only one person in the world who has this power, and that is His Majesty the Emperor.
"Brother Lu..."
However, Lu Bu waved his hand and interrupted Cai You who was about to speak: "You also know that His Majesty cannot give you the same background as a Jinshi out of thin air. You must ask your Majesty for it first."
"My little brother knows."
Mentioning this, Cai You's face showed a hint of sadness.
It's not like he hasn't mentioned this matter to Cai Jing, but he was flatly rejected every time.
"If I had told you last month, your Majesty would have agreed to it."
Lu Bu sighed with emotion: "But it can't be done now!"
