I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110 I am popular among thousands of girls
Cai Yong obviously knew his own limitations, and he just smiled and said, "Okay, I won't get involved."

Seeing that Cai Yong was the only one at home, Ma Riti was immediately curious: "Where is Zhao Ji?"

"I asked her to go on an outing with the daughter of Huang Taiwei, and also with the granddaughter of Yuan Taifu. Although she likes reading and playing the piano, it's not good for her to stay at home alone all the time."

Thinking of his two daughters who had been wandering with him for twelve years and had no home to return to, Cai Yong felt guilty and distressed.

Among them, the eldest daughter Zhenji is already married. Her husband is Yang Xun, who is from the Yang clan of Taishan. He is from a famous family and is a good match for her.

Speaking of Cai Zhenji, although her fame was far inferior to her sister, she gave birth to a remarkable daughter, Yang Huiyu. This Yang girl later married Sima Shi and was named Empress Jingxian after her death.

Cai Yong pinched his beard and began to worry about the marriage of his youngest daughter Cai Yan.

Since the time of Emperor Gaozu of the Yanhan Dynasty, it has been stipulated that if a girl does not marry by the age of 14, her parents will be fined. Although the enforcement of this rule is not so strict nowadays, the age at which girls marry is still generally very early.

Among them, Cai Yong's eldest daughter already has a husband and married into the Yang family of Taishan. She will give birth to a queen in the future - Yang Huiyu.

However, now that Wang Jing has risen, it is hard to say whether the Sima family can seize the world.

Cai Yong's youngest daughter, Cai Yan, is now sixteen years old. She had just had her marriage ceremony not long ago and is now old enough to get married.

Ma Ritian asked with a smile: "Have you chosen a good son-in-law for Zhaoji?"

Cai Yan was only 28 years old this year. She was not only beautiful, but also proficient in music and poetry. As the daughter of a famous scholar, she had long been secretly targeted by the younger generations of major families. Some of them even chased her all the way from Chenliu in Yanzhou to Luoyang, the eastern capital, just to become the son-in-law of the Cai family.

The most dedicated person among them was Wei Zhongdao, the second brother of Wei Ji, the head of the Wei family in Hedong.

It has to be said that, born into a prominent family, Wei Zhongdao inherited some of the heroic spirit of his ancestor Wei Qing. At the young age, he was already handsome, and what was even more striking was that he was also quite talented.

After examining his character and knowledge, Cai Yong was obviously very satisfied with this excellent "son-in-law candidate", so he stroked his beard and smiled at Ma Riti: "The Wei family has already intended to propose marriage, and has hinted to me many times. In fact, I also have this intention."

Ma Riti nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Although the Hedong Wei family has fallen into decline, they are still descendants of a famous family after all, and it is not a disgrace to your Yuxian Cai family."

The Hedong Wei family is the descendant of Wei Qing, a great general during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. They are indeed a prominent family.

But this matter was stuck with Cai Yan.

Cai Yong complained to Ma Riti: "Alas, why should I care about this? I just don't want Yan'er to continue to suffer with me. A girl should always have a good home."

He had done everything in his life with a clear conscience. The only thing he felt he owed was his two daughters, so he treated them with extra care and raised them very well.

The two sisters were not only beautiful, but also gentle and talented. The youngest daughter was particularly gifted. Her talent in poetry was even better than that of the ancient talented woman Zhuo Wenjun, which made Cai Yong extremely proud.

So in order to find a satisfactory husband for his youngest daughter Cai Yan, Cai Yong, as a father, was really worried about it.

Even though he thought Wei Zhongdao was a good person, Cai Yong wanted to test his daughter's opinion in private first. After all, getting married is a lifelong thing, and he would only feel at ease if his daughter was happy in her marriage.

As the two chatted, Ma Riti mentioned the banquet to be held at Sikong Mansion tomorrow.

Wang Yun had just been appointed as Sikong and was in need of people, so this banquet was actually an opportunity for him to stand out.

"Bo Ji, the prince's master is holding a banquet to recruit talents. I am an official in the same court as him, so I cannot attend due to the rules. Although you have a title now, you have no real power, so you can go and try your luck."

Although Ma Riti was unhappy with Wang Jing, since he had already boarded the pirate ship, he was still very honest and wanted to drag Cai Yong into the water as well.

In fact, if it weren't for the taboo that court officials were not allowed to "form factions" privately, many of the Nine Ministers would have wanted to attend the banquet in person to curry favor with Wang Yun. After all, this stubborn old man was Wang Jing's biological father.
Even if you don’t look at the monk’s face, you should look at the Buddha’s face.

Cai Yong didn't want to go at first, but Ma Riti persuaded him again and again, so he had to agree.

Early the next morning, Yuan Ying, the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and Huang Xin, the youngest daughter of Grand Commandant Huang Wan, came to Cai's house again and invited Cai Yan to go out for an outing.

Cai Yong looked at his daughter with a smile and said, "Go ahead and have some fun. I have to go to the Sikong Mansion for a banquet later, so I won't be back for lunch."

"Sister Zhaoji, come quickly."

The innocent Huang Xin was waving to Cai Yan in the carriage.

Cai Yan turned around and looked at Cai Yong: "Father, my daughter is gone."

"Well, go ahead and be safe."

"Yes."

Cai Yan tiptoed into the carriage, and was immediately pulled aside by Huang Xin and Yuan Ying to start a conversation.

Among the three, Huang Xin was the youngest, only thirteen years old, so she was also the most lively and clingy. She hugged Cai Yan's arm affectionately and said, "Sister Zhaoji, let's go to a farther place for an outing today."

Yuan Ying, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, also smiled at Cai Yan: "Today we are going to the south of the city. I heard that a school has recently opened outside Jinyang Gate. The knowledge taught is actually Mohism, which was once popular in the pre-Qin era. It is very novel and interesting."

She was one year younger than Cai Yan, had not yet undergone the ceremony of marriage, and did not have a courtesy name, but her figure was already very "mature", with curvy figures that were quite impressive and very tempting.

Yuan Ying spoke in a reserved manner, but Huang Xin revealed her true colors with a sweet smile: "I think Sister Ying is not interested in Mohism, but in Qi Hou himself, right?"

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do that."

Girls are most afraid of having their secrets exposed. Now Yuan Ying is both ashamed and angry, and wants to go over and cover Huang Xin's mouth.

The two girls were playing together in the swaying carriage, and their cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

In the end, Huang Xin, who was exhausted, was the first to give in and begged for mercy: "Ah, I can't do it anymore, please let me go, Sister Ying."

Seeing Huang Xin begging for mercy, Yuan Ying proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again."

Huang Xin hid behind Cai Yan and made a face at Yuan Ying: "Hehe, you'll dare to do it again next time."

"Ha, you girl, you deserve a beating!"

Yuan Ying was so angry that her eyes widened, but she had no idea what to do with this clever sister.

After laughing and joking, Huang Xin also held his cheek and said with shining eyes: "Come to think of it, I have met Wang Yuanxu in person."

Which girl doesn’t have love in her heart?
What's more, Wang Jing has a legendary experience. He is not only young, but also handsome and heroic. He commands a large army and is famous for eliminating harm for the people. He has long been the object of longing for many unmarried girls in Luoyang City. He is simply the Eastern Han version of the "national husband".

When Yuan Ying heard this, she immediately pestered Huang Xin and asked, "Have you really met him in person?"

The Yuan family was strictly disciplined, and due to Dong Zhuo's previous rebellion, the public security in Luoyang was very bad. It was impossible for them to allow the women in their family to go out on the streets. If something happened, it would immediately become a scandal for the entire family.

So although Yuan Ying was familiar with Wang Jing's deeds, she was unable to get a glimpse of his true appearance.

Huang Xin boasted with a smile: "Didn't a Taoist priest hold a ceremony in Dongcheng a few days ago, saying that it was possible to pray to the gods. My mother wanted to bring good luck, so she took me along as well."

Altar fairs can be regarded as the prototype of temple fairs in the future. They originated from the spread of Buddhism to the East after the Eastern Han Dynasty, which caused competition with the local Taoism in terms of faith. Special programs were created to attract believers.

Because a lot of entertainment content that appeals to the public has been added, it is often very lively. In addition, in order to get good luck, many families of dignitaries are attracted to the event.

This sacrificial offering was the first folk festival in Luoyang City after the war ended, so Wang Jing brought people to join in the fun and have fun with the people, but he didn't expect to be seen by Huang Xin in the crowd.

Hearing this, Yuan Ying was immediately annoyed: "Oh, what a pity, if I had known earlier, I would have gone to participate too."

Yuan Ying was very unhappy about missing the chance to see her idol in person, but she became even more curious about Wang Jing's appearance: "Xin'er, my dear sister, tell me what he looks like. Is he as handsome and outstanding as the rumors say?"

Huang Xin shook his head first, then shouted excitedly: "No, he is more handsome and more elegant than the rumors!"

Yuan Ying's heart was pounding just by listening to Huang Xin's description. She wished that time could go back and she could go to the scene in person to see Wang Jing's true appearance. "You don't know, Qi Hou is not only tall, but also has a very heroic temperament. His whole body seems to be bathed in a layer of sunlight, which is simply dazzling. Even if he is standing in a crowd, you can recognize him at a glance. And just one look, your eyes will be attracted to him, and it will be difficult to forget for the rest of your life."

Huang Xin's eyes were burning with enthusiasm, and she obviously fell in love with Wang Jing at first sight. She became his little fangirl.

Her father was the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, so Huang Xin had high standards. After all, she had seen many young talents from aristocratic families, many of whom were handsome and extraordinary.

But even so, among all the men she had met, there was not a single one who could compare to Wang Jing in terms of physique, appearance or temperament.

Although Yuan Ying was unable to see Wang Jing's true face, she couldn't help but feel even more longing for him at this moment. She didn't know how deeply she thought about him, and her face actually turned a little red with shyness.

Huang Xin, who was fearless, could not help but approached and teased, "Sister Ying, I heard that Marquis Qi often appears in the academy recently. I wonder if I will meet him if I go there today."

Yuan Ying's cheeks flushed at Huang Xin's words, and she felt uneasy: "It should be possible, right?"

"So Sister Ying admitted that the outing was fake and that she was here to look for talent was real?"

"Ha, I think you're itching again, right?"

"Oh, stop tickling me, I won't do it again!"

In the carriage, sweet voices were heard again. Cai Yan, who had been sitting silently by the side from beginning to end, became even more curious. What kind of person was this Qi Hou Wang Jing that the sisters were talking about?

"Miss, we have arrived at Moxue Academy."

The nanny who came out with them reminded Yuan Ying in a low voice.

Yuan Ying also lifted the curtain and saw, as expected, on the plaque with red background and gold characters, there were four large characters written in iron-painted and silver-hooked characters - Moxue Academy.

The writer was none other than Wang Jing.

The tip of the brush contains the spirit of sword, the divine light is restrained, but the spirit is high and the ambition to soar is revealed.

"Good word!"

"What a spirit!"

Yuan Ying just thought that Wang Jing's handwriting was really beautiful, but Cai Yan, who spoke behind her, saw in the strokes the heroism and ambition of Wang Jing to create a cultural heyday unprecedented in the ages.

It was because her father Cai Yong was a great calligrapher himself, and even created a new calligraphy school called Feibai. With this family tradition, Cai Yan was naturally well-versed in calligraphy, far surpassing Yuan Ying and Huang Xin.

Then Cai Yan's eyes fell on a couplet at the entrance of the academy. Her eyes suddenly became as clear as autumn water, revealing a charming demeanor. She opened her red lips slightly, and could not help but recite in a low voice: "The sound of wind, rain, and reading is heard everywhere. I care about family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs. It is really a perfect sentence!"

The words are majestic and powerful.

The sentence is full of literary talent.

Cai Yan already had a good impression of Wang Jing, but at this moment she had some different thoughts in her mind. The originally pure friendship seemed to be deteriorating, and a sour smell was vague.

Cai Yan had never mentioned the fact that she knew Wang Jing well to her two besties. Now she remembered Wang Jing's laziness and humor, and couldn't help laughing. She said, "Many people in the literati circle think that Qi Hou is just a warrior who doesn't know how to write poems or essays, and doesn't understand the teachings of the saints. But they didn't expect that he could write well and have such literary talent. It's true that we can't judge a person's talent and character based on hearsay alone."

Hearing that someone was slandering her idol like this, Yuan Ying was immediately unhappy: "Humph, it's those sour scholars in the Imperial College gossiping again, right? If they have the guts, they should say these words to Marquis Qi's face. Criticizing others behind their backs is really mean behavior."

Huang Xin was also a little fan of Wang Jing, so she was not impressed by those arrogant people in the Imperial College who always regarded themselves as talented scholars: "They are just a bunch of sour and smelly literati. If it weren't for Marquis Qi's efforts to save the situation, how could they have the opportunity to make comments and write passionate articles in the Imperial College?"

Cai Yan was about to say a few fair words for the students of the Imperial Academy, but before she could even open her mouth, she was dragged into the academy by Yuan Ying and Huang Xin.

Classes were being held in the academy at this time.

After revealing their identities, the three women were immediately allowed to pass by the guards.

After all, the three daughters of famous families and ladies from prominent families could not have come here to cause trouble.

There were twelve classrooms in the academy. After searching for a while, they finally found Wang Jing who was teaching a group of children.

At this time, Wang Jing took off his armor and weapons and put on a loose dark blue robe. He also restrained his murderous aura and suddenly looked elegant and easy-going, and was quite popular with the children.

Cai Yan stood coquettishly behind Huang Xin and Yuan Ying, and couldn't help but look through the window to find out what was going on.

She was so curious. What would a big shot like Wang Jing say when he personally came to teach the children?

Yuan Ying and Huang Xin were also very curious. Watching a group of cute kids gather together for class was also a very novel experience for them.

Wang Jing, standing on the podium, naturally discovered that there were three "uninvited guests" outside the window, and among them was the elegant and refined figure of Cai Yan.

I haven't seen her for a long time. The literary girl in front of me has become more literary. She is beautiful, intelligent, and as quiet as a chrysanthemum.

Wang Jing smiled slightly and winked at Cai Yan.

In the back row of the classroom, Cai Yan's lips curled up slightly, and she felt in a very good mood.

Wang Jing's smile made Yuan Ying and Huang Xin very happy. Their faces flushed with excitement and their hearts pounded: "Oh my God, Marquis Qi smiled at me!"

After all, it was a class time, and Wang Jing chose to continue concentrating on teaching and was not distracted by Cai Yan's arrival.

Wang Jing spread out the textbook on the podium and asked loudly, "Do you remember what I taught yesterday?"

"Remember!"

The children responded very enthusiastically and raised their hands one after another.

Wang Jing pointed at a little boy who was not tall but had the most serious expression: "Deng Cheng, tell me about it."

Deng Cheng straightened his chest immediately, stood up and replied: "Sir, yesterday you talked about the three forms of matter."

The students in front of me are between eight and twelve years old. They are all children from poor families. They have to do various farm work and housework at an early age, and their lives are very hard.

Therefore, for them, coming to the academy to attend classes is actually a form of entertainment and relaxation. In the academy, not only can they read and learn to read, but there are also various novel and interesting physics experiments, which is much more enjoyable than digging in the soil.

In addition, they are all in the enlightenment stage now, and the classes are not tiring. In addition to recognizing words and following the "Mojing", the main focus is on popularizing various interesting physics trivia, aiming to arouse their curiosity and interest in understanding the world.

At this time, the three "big kids" who were eavesdropping outside the window were also hooked by Wang Jing's question and were very curious about what the three forms of matter were.

Huang Xin turned around and looked at Cai Yan: "Sister Zhaoji, do you know the answer to this question?"

Cai Yan, who prided herself on her extraordinary talent and learning, was speechless for a moment, because she really knew nothing about this question.

If Huang Xin asked her questions related to music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she could answer them fluently, but how could she have the time to ponder such tricky things as the three forms of matter?

But it must be said that Cai Yan also wanted to know the answer to this question, so she stretched her white neck, opened her bright eyes, and peeked into the classroom again.

"So who else remembers what the three forms of matter are?"

"I! I! I! I know!"

Several children with extroverted personalities and strong desire to express themselves raised their hands frantically.

Now they have also learned the rules of the academy. If they want to speak in class, they must raise their hands first and get permission from the teacher.

Wang Jing smiled and nodded to the black-haired guy who raised his hand the fastest and had the most positive expression and answered: "Li Mo, you come."
