Chapter 314: Envoys from Various Countries, the Cai Brothers in Their Old Age



Even walking slowed down.

Standing quietly between the two of them.

There are nineteen vertical and horizontal lines and three hundred and sixty-one intersections.

The black and white chess pieces played against each other in a fierce battle.

I don't know how much time passed, but just when Cai Jing was hesitating, Ying Ying subconsciously said:

"Grandpa Cai, you are going to lose to Grandpa."

She knew the relationship between the Cai brothers.

Therefore, when I met Cai Yong, I liked to call him "Grandpa".

Cai Jing glared at her and said, "Girl, what do you know?"

"Remember, those who watch chess do not speak."

Then he threw the chess piece in his hand casually and admitted defeat.

Ying Ying shook her head and pointed casually, "Grandpa Cai, if you place your move here, won't you have a chance to maneuver?"

Cai Jing stared at it and said, "Hey, it really is."

As he spoke, he was about to pick up the chess piece that was casually thrown on the chessboard.

Cai Yong said unhappily, "You're already so old, and you're still playing tricks on me? You're not even as good as a child."

Cai Jing had no choice but to give up.

Then.

Cai Jing assigned some questions related to classics, history, and literature and asked Ying Ying to answer them.

From a distance, the two old men felt relieved when they saw her standing in the pavilion, painting with her brush.

Cai Yong couldn't help but say, "As a daughter of the royal family, it's really rare for her to be so hardworking and diligent."

"Moreover, this girl has excellent comprehension. If she could become my disciple..."

After living in Cai Jing's mansion for a period of time.

He already knew why Ying Ying often came to see Cai Jing.

Not for fun.

Instead, he wanted to stay with Cai Jing and study.

Hearing his brother's voice, Cai Jing sneered, "Being your apprentice, wandering around the world and going hungry for nine meals in three days?"

Cai Yong snorted coldly, "What are you talking about? I just think that this child, regardless of his character and talent, is an excellent choice for study. I just have some admiration for his talent for the time being."

"If you can learn from me for ten years, you will definitely become a great scholar in the future. Women who have become great scholars have always been rare, almost non-existent, from ancient times to the present."

Cai Jing sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that you won't live for ten years."

"And this girl is from the royal family. In the future, there will inevitably be open and secret struggles..."

"Stay by my side. At least, before I die, you can raise a literary scholar and a political master."

As he spoke, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Cai Yong frowned and asked, "What did Zhu Danxi say? How long do you have left to live?"

He had met Zhu Danxi.

Shortly after Cai Wenji became pregnant.

Cai Jing exhaled heavily and said weakly:

"Zhu Danxi said...I can live for at most another month."

"It's been half a month now, and I'm still full of energy, right?"

"So, sometimes what Lao Zhu says shouldn't be taken too seriously."
