Chapter 62: Accidentally' entering Cai's backyard and playing brain teasers with Cai Yan?

Liu Bei cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Liu Xuande greets Uncle Cai."

"Oh? You are Zigan's most prized student, Liu Xuande? I heard of you when I passed through Xiaopei. The people's evaluation of you is very high; they say you are the best magistrate. Not bad, very not bad."

Lu Zhi laughed loudly; he felt very proud that his disciple was praised.

Liu Bei repeatedly said he didn't dare; he had only done his duty.

Cai Yong stroked his beard and sighed long.

"In this day and age, being able to do one's duty well is already very good."

He and Lu Zhi looked at each other; they were very indignant that the imperial court was controlled by the Ten Eunuchs, but they had no way to deal with it.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go inside and drink."

Liu Bei followed Lu Zhi and met a wave of people, but didn't see any famous people from later generations.

He drank a few people under the table, left the main hall, and headed toward the inner rooms.

The barrage began to increase.

"Damn, what does Liu Big-Ears want to do?"

"He isn't going to wear a green hat for Cai Yong, is he?"

"Maybe, Liu Bei is just going to the bathroom first. You guys are biased!"

"I don't believe it. Liu Bei, this scumbag, was chatting with Gan Mei during the day and is going to steal fragrance at night?"

Liu Bei arrived at the backyard.

Suddenly, a crisp female voice called out to him.

"Who are you? What are you doing in the backyard?"

Liu Bei turned his head to look and couldn't help but have his eyes light up.

A sweet-looking, peerless beauty with a scholarly air was standing there gracefully, looking him over.

Liu Bei knew that this charming young lady in front of him should be the Three Kingdoms' first talented woman, Cai Yan; no one else had this temperament.

"If I want a son much smarter than A-Dou, I must have a smart mother—the genes must be good."

Liu Bei praised his own wisdom inside.

He cupped his hands.

"Miss, I am Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. I came to the banquet with my teacher, Lu Zhi. Nature called, and I accidentally went the wrong way."

The barrage in the broadcast room increased instantly.

"The Big-Ears thief is truly not a good person!"

"I knew it; he definitely has bad intentions!"

"This little beauty in front is so beautiful, and she has a scholarly air—her temperament is so fresh!"

"Big-Ears thief, have you thought about Miss Gan at home!"

"Scumbag!"

"Liu Xuande?"

Cai Yan was stunned. She stared at Liu Bei with her dark, large eyes, feeling that apart from his ears being a bit large, this Liu Bei was indeed handsome.

"You are the Magistrate of Xiaopei? That Liu Xuande who traveled a thousand miles to deliver Teacher Lu?"

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"It is I."

Cai Yan looked at Liu Bei.

"I heard from the people of Xiaopei that you are very learned; you should be a smart person."

Liu Bei nodded to himself. It seems talented women also like handsome, smart men.

He shook his head.

"I've only read books for a few years; I'm just average."

Cai Yan's mouth twitched. This Liu Xuande looked humble, but he was actually a bit arrogant!

She looked at the stars in the sky.

"Liu Xuande, what do you think the stars in the sky are?"

Liu Bei was stunned. This question was truly too simple; even elementary school students knew! But the ancients didn't know.

He paused.

"Every star is a sun."

Cai Yan shook her head.

"Impossible. If they are all suns, why are they so small and their light so weak?"

Liu Bei looked at Cai Yan.

"The reason is simple: they are far away. Depending on the distance of an object, the size you see is different."

Liu Bei walked a few steps, approaching Cai Yan.

"Look, we are so close now—do I look a bit bigger?"

Cai Yan blushed instantly, stepped back two steps, and thought with her hand against her chin.

"What you said seems to make quite a bit of sense."

Liu Bei laughed.

"This is actually very simple."

Cai Yan felt offended. She had been thinking about this for years, and he actually said it was simple!

"Hmph! Liu Xuande, let me ask you: if you were asked to fill the entire hall in the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, what would you do?"

Liu Bei? The young lady was playing brain teasers with him?

He laughed.

"Miss Cai, that's very simple. Just light a candle, and won't the entire hall be filled?"

Cai Yan was startled. This Liu Xuande had something in him!

Her eyes rolled.

"What has no feet but can travel the world?"

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"You just came from Jiangdong, so naturally, it's by boat."

Cai Yan...

"What can you steal that isn't against the law?"

"Naturally, it's stealing a smile!"

Cai Yan was disheveled. She had accumulated these bits of knowledge for over ten years, and not a single one had stumped this Liu Xuande!

She still wanted to ask, ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
