Chapter 640 Cai Yan and Luo Nu
Looking at Jia Xu being taken away, Luo Zhang smiled. He raised his right hand and twisted a strand of hair between his thumb and index finger.
With a thought, the divine artifact "Human Book" appeared in his hand. Looking at the "Human Book" shining with bright light, Luo Zhang mobilized some of his family background, then loosened the hair in his hand, and the hair floated gently, like fallen leaves, and fell on the "Human Book".
The hair dissolved directly into the book as if it were drowning. Luo Zhang recalled the information about Jia Xu in his mind.
The human book suddenly shines brightly!
The three colors of black, white and gray filled the entire quiet room. Soon the light faded away, and Luo Zhang saw that the tightly tied ribbon of the scroll automatically untied.
He slowly unfolded the scroll, and saw on the left side of the scroll was a slightly gloomy figure, somewhat similar to Jia Xu, yet very different. He wore a slightly tall scholar's cap on his head and held a feather fan in his hand. Most of his face was covered by the feather fan, leaving only a pair of slightly slender eyes exposed.
The painting was quite vivid, and one could tell at a glance that this was a person of extreme intelligence. Based on the information received, Luo Zhang knew that the portrait was not a reflection of the person's real appearance, but a reflection of his inner world.
On the right side of the portrait are densely packed texts describing Jia Xu.
[Jia Xu is an unparalleled strategist. He is good at inferring the truth of the past through limited information, and is good at formulating highly targeted strategies based on the differences in people's personalities. When Jia Xu is ready to target a certain person with all his strength, almost no one can resist him. He is a representative strategist who has planned everything out.
Jia Xu was an expert at politics, extremely good at protecting himself, being kind to others, confusing his enemies, and inadvertently defeating all of his enemies' efforts with words, but he usually did not use them.
Jia Xu is impartial, but he is more self-protective and his methods tend to be shady.
Because a lot of information about Jia Xu was given to the human book, a lot of information was also fed back from the human book.
The book of people gave Jia Xu a very high evaluation. Luo Zhang did not care about those personality-related things. Jia Xu was not the only one who acted in a dark way, but most people. This was because open strategies were not something that ordinary people could use. Most of the time, conspiracies were more useful than open strategies.
Moreover, after entering the Luo family, a smart man like Jia Xu will naturally change and do things according to the Luo family's way of survival.
Luo Zhang could see that Jia Xu was an expert at political tactics, and this information could be obtained from his portrayal of human nature.
What shocked Luo Zhang the most was that Renshu used the four words "meticulous plan" to describe Jia Xu. Renshu's evaluation was extremely objective. It was extremely terrifying that Jia Xu could be labeled with this word.
Jia Xu has just demonstrated how to infer the truth of the past through limited information. Although we haven't seen his ability to formulate strategies yet, Luo Zhang is relieved now.
People may have deviations, but artifacts will not!
"He is truly a talent who can assist the king, a man like Zhang Liang."
Luo Zhang put away the book and thought silently, "How should I arrange Jia Xu? What is his position in terms of strategy and political tactics?"
…
When Jia Xu was brought to Luo Zhang, Cai Yan was taken to Taiyin Palace in a carriage. Although it was called a palace, it was just a slightly larger courtyard, but the building was more magnificent.
Cai Yan opened the curtains along the way and looked curiously at everything in the inner city. She saw young girls laughing and playing, she saw teams of brave warriors patrolling back and forth, and she saw children only two or three years old, with holy marks engraved on their foreheads, running around on the road.
She saw that everyone's clothes had gorgeous phoenixes, with gold and silver threads, which were extremely beautiful. She knew that it was the totem of the Zhou clan, a totem that only the Luo family and a few descendants of the Bang Zhou clan certified by the Luo family could use.
The descendants of Bang Zhou, that is truly a memory that is too distant!
She also knew that the phoenix of the Zhou clan used to be very simple, and the current noble, solemn and extremely beautiful phoenix was painted by the Emperor Suwang himself on the main hall of Haojing City.
From then on, the phoenix became the number one among all spirit beasts, because compared with the phoenix, the images of other spirit beasts were too simple.
Taiyin Palace.
This is a place to worship the gods of the stars, mainly the North Star and Ziwei Star. The worship of stars has a long history, and the Luo family attaches even more importance to it.
As soon as Cai Yan got off the carriage, she saw a very beautiful girl standing in front of the courtyard gate. The girl looked younger than herself, and was like a willow branch in spring, with a vitality that was about to bloom all over her body. Her eyes and eyebrows were like a painting by an exquisite painter. She was wearing a emerald green dress and was pretty, lovely and beautiful.
There was a holy mark between her eyebrows, which made her look even more sacred. When Luo Qinghe, who was standing in front of the courtyard gate, saw Cai Yan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She was somewhat amazed at Cai Yan's beauty.
As a daughter of the Luo family, Luo Qinghe was naturally quite confident in her appearance, but the Cai Yan in front of her was even more beautiful than herself, and obviously more beautiful.
Cai Yan was a little nervous, and then she saw the girl coming over gracefully and said with a smile: "Sister Cai, the aunts asked me to take you in. My name is Qinghe, you can call me that."
Cai Yan was a little surprised by Luo Qinghe's gentle attitude. If it were hundreds of years ago, the girl in front of her would be a real princess.
Even now, as long as she is willing to marry into the royal family, she will definitely be the queen, and no accidents will happen. The royal family cannot ask for a daughter of the Luo family.
After Guanjun Jinghuanhou, no more women from the Luo family married out of the family. Only the two branches of the Luo family, Yinghou and Wushuanghou, were allowed to marry women from the Luo family.
The two of them walked into the Taiyin Palace together. When they entered the hall, Cai Yan felt her heart stagnate. There were two rows of people sitting neatly in the hall. They were all daughters of the Luo family. Even though she was a woman, the beauty of this scene made Cai Yan feel like she couldn't breathe.
Everywhere you look, you see a different set of stunning faces appearing in front of you. This is completely different from the feeling of just seeing one stunning beauty.
Just like the charm of a chorus is much deeper than that of a solo, this kind of visual impact will greatly increase people's aesthetic threshold. In other words, unless a beauty like Xi Shi, who is more beautiful than the 99th level, is placed in front of this large group of people, she will not be suppressed.
Luo Zi usually chooses to marry the female officials around him and does not pay much attention to appearance because he has been numb to it since childhood. When Luo Zi sees people like Xi Shi and Wang Wenjun, he acts quickly because he is easily attracted to them.
Luo Qi had the same feeling when she first met Zhao Hede. Zhao Hede and Zhao Feiyan, the two sisters, might be slightly inferior to the four great beauties like Xi Shi if taken individually, but when the two sisters stood together, they were not inferior at all.
For the first time in her life, Cai Yan began to doubt herself. She had known since childhood that she would marry well because of her good family background, good looks, good character and great talent.
The saying "A woman without talent lies in virtue" means that if a woman has no talent, she must have good morals.
The saying "marry a virtuous wife" means that if the wife is not beautiful, don't worry about it, as long as she is virtuous.
However, Cai Yan believed that she was talented, virtuous, noble, and beautiful, and that she was a perfect hostess.
But now standing in front of the Luo girls, she was first shocked by their looks, and then she wondered if her knowledge, which she was so proud of, could surpass that of these Luo girls?
Everyone in the world knows that in Zhaocheng and in the Luo family, women hold great power. Not to mention Zhaocheng, there are women of the Luo family handling government affairs in Yinghou State and Wushuang State.
With a bunch of thoughts flashing through her mind, Cai Yan walked into the hall and performed a common blessing ceremony for ladies, "Cai Yan greets all the aunts and sisters."
Cai Yan was only fifteen years old, but she was not short, about 1.65 meters tall, with a little baby fat on her oval face. She was not the type of fragile talented women, but she was of suitable appearance, with a slim figure, her eyes were full of spirit, her whole body exuded bookish air, and her temperament was also extremely gentle, like a pool of spring water, making people unable to help but throw themselves into her arms to see if it was really that warm.
After seeing Cai Yan, the curiosity in the girls' hearts was somewhat relieved. She was indeed the most beautiful girl in the world, and a bystander could see things more clearly. Cai Yan was shocked by everyone, but the girls in the hall looked at each other and realized that the Cai Yan in front of them surpassed them all.
This made the girls very satisfied, but then they began to wonder if there was anything special about Cai Yan.
After all, in terms of appearance alone, although Cai Yan has surpassed most people, she is obviously still not as good as the two ancestors Xizi and Wang Wenjun recorded in ancient books.
There is a sentence in the introduction of the two ancestors, which says "No woman can cover it". What does it mean?
That is to say, all the women of the Luo family combined cannot surpass one of them. Although Cai Yan was extremely beautiful, she even reached the level of Zhao Hede and Gaia in the classics, but she could not reach the level of her ancestors Xizi and Wang Wenjun.
The high priest recalled that the noble lady of the Cai family seemed to have a photographic memory, and must be good at literature.
"The noble lady of the Cai family."
Cai Yan was shocked when she heard this, and quickly said, "Aunt, you can just call me Yan Wenji. This is the courtesy name my father gave me."
The high priest smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Wenji, I heard that you have a photographic memory. I guess you must have read a lot of books."
Seeing the high priest take the initiative to talk about what he was best at, Cai Yan said with a little gratitude in her heart: "Aunt, Yan's family has a small collection of books. Although it is far from comparable to the Luo family's collection room, I have learned some from my father since I was a child."
The high priest smiled and said, "Duke Bo Ji once participated in academic discussions in Zhaocheng. His family has a collection of tens of thousands of books, which is not a small amount. Apart from the Luo family, there are not many families in the world that can compare with your family in terms of collection of books.
How many of the books in your home have you read? "
Perhaps because she was too nervous, Cai Yan's little face was a little red, like a mouth-watering apple, looking so tempting that people couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Cai Yan felt very hot and wanted to fan herself with her hands to cool down, but she didn't dare to. She whispered, "Aunt, I can remember about 70% to 80% of it."
The high priest laughed when he heard this and said, "Seven or eighty percent, there are not many people in the world who can read better than you."
Huh?
The high priest suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wen Ji, you just said you could remember 70% to 80%?"
Cai Yan nodded slowly. She was actually being conservative. She could remember 90% of it. She was the mobile Eastern Palace collection of books.
Seeing Cai Yan admit it, the Luo girl in the hall was shocked for the first time. The high priest knew that Cai Yan had a photographic memory, but he just thought that her memory was strong, but he never expected it to be so strong.
The number of books in Dongguan's collection is so large that he can remember 70% to 80% of them. The last person like this in the family was Lord Luo Ming!
The most holy Confucianist!
As the status of Confucianism increased, Luo Minggong was about to become the number one among the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Most of the women of the Luo family only do three things in their lives: study the classics of ancient sages, handle the government affairs of Zhaocheng, and offer sacrifices to the Emperor Suwang.
There is no need to elaborate on how important this ability to remember everything at a glance is when studying the classics of ancient sages.
Because studying classics requires analogies, and Cai Yan has so much knowledge in her mind that she can use whatever she needs directly without having to go back and look up the books.
"Wenji, with your talent, it would be a shame if you don't study the classics. At least you can become a sage."
Someone immediately said, "Becoming a saint requires an extremely high spiritual realm, but with your talent, it will be no problem for you to become a great sage below the saint.
If you can come up with a new theory, your statue may even appear in the Temple of Philosophers. Even if you are unwilling to join those schools of thought, you will definitely have a place in the biographies of extraordinary women.
You will not only appear in the history books as Cai, but also as Cai Yan and Cai Wenji. Thousands and millions of years later, people will know that in the Later Han Dynasty, there was a talented woman like you who could be famous for thousands of years. "
Cai Yan was somewhat shocked by these words, not because of how much these Luo girls valued her, but because of their thinking. Their first reaction was to leave their names in history, which is usually a question that men would think about.
But among the women of the Luo family, this kind of thinking seemed to be normal. Cai Yan felt her heart pounding. Of course she knew about the Biographies of Extraordinary Women, especially the Biographies of Extraordinary Women in the Records of the Grand Historian written by Sima Qian. Because of the long time span, many women were selected.
Most of them had no names, only words like Ji and Fei in history books, but Cai Yan knew that the Luo family had the habit of recording names.
Xizi's real name was Xi Shi. There are also detailed records of Xizi and Luo Yigong's daughter Ji Lingjun, as well as Wang Wenjun. These are rare women whose names are recorded in the biographies of extraordinary women.
There are also biographies of extraordinary women in the "Book of Han" compiled during the reign of Emperor Guangwu. Zhao Feiyan, as the empress dowager, is listed in the Biographies of Foreign Relatives and the Biography of Feiyan, but Zhao Hede appears in the Biographies of Extraordinary Women.
I have a photographic memory. Even if this ability appeared in a man, it would be enough to be recorded in history. Why can't it appear in history books?
Cai Yan looked up at the girls of the Luo family again, and thought happily in her heart, Besides, I am now in the Luo family.
I don’t have time, so I’ll just write this much…
