Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

Although he was Emperor Wen of Wei.

But since Cao Ang is still alive, he's basically out of the picture.

However, Su Chen was still somewhat shocked when he saw Cao Pi.

Surprisingly, Cao Pi, at only ten years old, already showed signs of being somewhat shrewd and calculating.

"brother in law."

"Don't be so formal, just call me brother-in-law."

Su Chen chuckled and threw out a single sentence.

This statement completely broke Cao Pi's composure.

Sister...brother-in-law?!

Although he knew that his sister was destined to marry him.

I never expected Su Chen to so casually and openly bring this up!

This almost destroyed Cao Pi's understanding.

"Sir, we...we are not married yet, you must not speak nonsense."

Qinghe's face turned red to the roots of his ears at this matter.

Su Chen chuckled and said nonchalantly:

"If you were Young Master Pi..."

"Then this must be Young Master Cao Zhi, right?"

His gaze also turned to the little child jumping around beside him.

"Zhi'er, come quickly and greet the master!"

Cao Pi reprimanded in a low voice.

Cao Zhi immediately shrank back, obediently walked over, and said in a childish voice:

"This junior, Cao Zhi, greets my brother-in-law."

……

These words once again broke Cao Pi's guard.

"Hahaha, my brother-in-law is the most sensible one."

"Here, have some candy."

Without saying a word, Su Chen took out a piece of rock candy and handed it to Cao Zhi.

Children are children after all, and they can't resist the temptation of candy.

Cao Zhi immediately smiled, revealing his tiger teeth:

"Brother-in-law, you're so kind."

What Su Chen didn't know at the time was...

Qinghe and the girl beside her were looking at Su Chen with strange eyes.

"Mr. Su...where did this candy come from?"

"It's so crystal clear?"

Qinghe said, not without shock.

If Cao Zhi hadn't licked it and said it was sweet...

Qinghe thought Su Chen was just using ice to amuse the child!

Su Chen then remembered.

During the Three Kingdoms period, salt was a scarce commodity.

Sugar, on the other hand, is an even rarer and more precious commodity!

Even the pitiful Yuan Shu, on his deathbed, said his last words were, "I want to drink honey water."

This rock candy was made by Su Chen when he was bored at home recently.

Sugarcane was introduced to China as early as the Zhou Dynasty.

With sugarcane, making rock sugar is not difficult.

"If Qinghe is curious, I'll make it for you myself sometime."

"This thing is called rock candy. As the name suggests, it looks like ice, but it tastes sweet."

"I'll tell you these things slowly after we get married."

Su Chen waved his hand and explained simply.

It would really be difficult to explain how this thing was made.

Then there's no need to admire the plum blossoms today.

"I have long heard of Mr. Su's great learning and talent."

"Seeing it today, it's just as I expected."

Just then, the girl beside Qinghe slowly spoke.

The voice was ethereal, sending a shiver down one's spine.

"You flatter me, young lady."

"Qinghe, who is this...?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Qinghe immediately explained with a smile:

"Sir, this is the daughter of Cai Yong, a renowned calligrapher from Chenliu."

"Cai Yan".

Cai Yan?!

Su Chen's pupils dilated instantly, and he looked at the girl in front of him with considerable shock:

"You are Cai Wenji?!"

Cai Wenji! A famous talented woman in ancient times!

Unfortunately, he had a tragic past and was captured by the Xiongnu.

In the desolate lands of the Xiongnu, he wrote the timeless masterpiece "Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute".

This is a very important person!

Su Chen never expected that the gentle and refined young woman in front of him was actually Cai Yan!

"Wenji?"

Cai Yan frowned slightly and said:

"Sir, you must have misheard me?"

"My daughter's name is Zhaoji, not Wenji."

Although she said that, Cai Yan actually thought that Wenji's name wasn't unpleasant to hear.

Su Chen chuckled and said:

"I'm so sorry, I really did remember it wrong."

Cai Wenji's original name was Cai Zhaoji.

She changed her name to Wenji simply because she wanted to avoid using the same character as Sima Zhao's name during the Jin Dynasty.

Su Chen couldn't help but give the girl in front of him a quick glance.

Unfortunately, if Su Chen remembered correctly...

At this time, Cai Yan should have already married Wei Zhongdao.

Such a lovely girl, it's such a pity she's already married.

However, if I had Boss Cao's personality, I would probably like it very much.

"Graceful Lady Zhaoji, you must already be married, right?"

Su Chen asked, seemingly unintentionally, to confirm.

Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in Cai Yan's eyes.

"teacher!"

Qinghe's eyes widened immediately, and he gestured in a low voice.

The sadness in Cai Yan's eyes vanished in an instant, and she smiled slightly:

"Sir, please do not be offended if you are unaware."

"My daughter was indeed engaged to the Wei family of Hedong."

"But the young master of the Wei family was in poor health and passed away before the marriage agreement could be fulfilled."

"Otherwise, my daughter would already be married by now, wouldn't she?"

This news was incredibly good news for Su Chen.

Regardless of how Su Chen views Cai Yan.

Knowing that such a talented woman wasn't ruined makes me feel much better.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this change that Cai Yan moved her entire family to Xudu.

This prevented the Xiongnu from raiding the area, thus avoiding the tragic events that followed.

"Zhaoji, don't be too sad."

"You've never even met that young master of the Wei family, why bother with this?"

Seeing that Cai Yan's expression was not good, Qinghe couldn't help but comfort her.

Cai Yan shook her head and said:

"I have never met Wei Zhongdao."

"But because of this, I've earned a reputation as a jinx."

"well……"

In this era, women who are labeled with this label are basically destined to remain widows for life.

Men value their lives; who would dare marry a woman who kills her prospective husband before they're even married?

The atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Su Chen calmly began to speak:

Why care about what others think?

"Though battered and bruised a thousand times, it remains firm and strong, letting the winds from east, west, north, and south blow as they may."

"What is life without experiencing hardship?"

"Miss Zhaoji."

"Let's laugh heartily and stride out the door; how can we, a man of such talent, be mere commoners?"

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Cai Yan's eyes lit up immediately!

She looked at Su Chen in shock, her lips parted slightly as she murmured:

"Though battered and bruised a thousand times, it remains firm and strong, letting the winds from east, west, north, and south blow as they may."

"Laughing loudly, I stride out the door; how can I, a man of such talent, be a mere commoner..."

"What a beautiful poem! What a beautiful poem!"

"I have long heard of your exceptional literary talent."

"Seeing it today, it's indeed true!"

Su Chen's first impression on Cai Yan was that he was unrestrained and dissolute.

They're clearly not even married yet, but she's already making Qinghe's younger brother call her brother-in-law.

He kept calling him "little brother-in-law".

Cai Yan found such an unscrupulous person quite disgusting.

However, now, that feeling of disgust has completely disappeared!

Instead, it is replaced by reverence!

Cai Yan was a renowned talented woman who always treated scholars and literati with utmost respect.

Su Chen has now produced such an excellent sentence.

How could Cai Yan not be excited?

Qinghe, standing to the side, slightly raised her eyebrows.

How about that? I wasn't lying to you, was I?

This is my man!
