Chapter 180 The Honest Man Gets Angry ([-])
In the main hall of Cai Mansion, the elegant Wang Yunzheng and the absent-minded Cai Yong were chatting and laughing.

To be honest, Cai Yong really didn't want to talk with this person.Wang Yun's way of Confucian classics is completely different from what he is pursuing now.Moreover, the two have great academic differences, including political differences, which are also diametrically opposed.

Wang Yun's way of Confucian classics was inherited from Zheng Xuan, one of the three monarchs.

As a doctor of the Six Classics, Zheng Xuan's greatest wish in this life is to see scholars governing the country with the principles of the Six Classics.

Wang Yun is Zheng Xuan's most loyal follower, so what he talks about is naturally inseparable from the righteousness of the Six Classics.

As for Cai Yong, he was a bit stubborn royalist.In his opinion, the supremacy of imperial power is the most orthodox.

Note that here, both Wang Yun and Cai Yong are royalists, but the difference is that one wants to rule the country with scholars, and the other wants to concentrate power in the hands of one person.At first glance, there is not much difference, but the conflict of interest inside has become bigger.

If it had been two years earlier, when Wang Yun talked about the righteousness of the Six Classics, Cai Yong would have choked him to death with a single sentence.

Now everything is taken lightly. Although he doesn't quite agree with Wang Yun's statement, Cai Yong still deals with it with a smile on his face.

What's the matter with this guy?
Cai Yong really couldn't figure out the reason, so Wang Yun hurriedly ran to say what he was doing.

He could only patiently listen to what Wang Zishi said, but his thoughts were no longer in the hall.

"Mr. Bo Jie, Yun came today because he really wanted to congratulate him."

Cai Yong was startled, knowing that this meat show was coming.I'm afraid the next words are the main purpose of Wang Yun's coming today.

"But I don't know where the joy comes from?"

"Yun also heard a thing or two about what happened to Ling Ai. Zhaoji was intelligent since she was a child, and she inherited Cai Weng's talents and learning. No woman in the world can surpass her. It is really unfair to suffer this bad luck. Yun often thinks about it. I feel aggrieved by what happened to Zhaoji."

Cai Yong smirked, "Zi Shi is too famous!"

"However, Ling'ai is in her prime now, so it would be a pity to stay in her boudoir like this. As entrusted by someone, I came here to beg Cai Weng for a marriage."

Cai Yong frowned.

It's not like no one mentioned this matter in Yucheng before, but now Cai Yong is much more careful.

Whether the talent is outstanding or not is no longer important.

That Wei Zhongdao's talent is outstanding, but he is a short-lived ghost, causing his daughter to be a widow, and almost being...

There is no requirement for the portal, as long as it is passable.

After a long history of ups and downs in the officialdom, how could Cai Yong not understand the dirty things in the family of the aristocratic family?

The most important thing is to be tough, to be considerate, to give your daughter a good life, and to make her worry-free.

Originally, the old man in Yucheng had indeed taken a fancy to a few satisfied masters.

But who would have thought that later...

"Mr. Zi, Mr. Cai appreciates it. It's just that the little girl is a new widow, and she doesn't want to think about getting married yet. I think it's better to wait another day."

Wang Yun was anxious when he heard that!

It's a trivial matter to accept someone's wishes, but if you can't say it, it's a trivial matter to return your wishes, but this face is a big problem.

"Cai Weng, don't worry, why don't you listen to Yun and finish? This suitor is quite sincere, and he has been an important minister of the court for generations, he is really a good son-in-law."

Cai Yong thought to himself: "Why is this guy so ungrateful? I've already said that I disagree, and I'm still rambling here.Don't say it's a generation of officials, even if it's a generation of royal family, I don't bother to talk to you about this.

However, he still had to keep a warm smile on his face, "Master Zi..."

"Cai Weng, this person is Yuan Shu, son of Sikong Yuan Feng."

Afraid of Cai Yong's refusal, Wang Yun gave out the name first, and then said: "Gao Gong is well-known, and his family background is very good, so he and Zhao Ji can be regarded as a good match. Moreover, Gong Gong loves Zhao Ji's talent very much, if we become in-laws , if the Hedong Wei family comes to harass again, the Yuan family is willing to stand up for Cai Weng and drive the Wei family out of Luoyang. This is really a blessing from heaven."

Yuan Shu?

When Cai Yong heard this name, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

To be honest, he didn't have a deep impression of Yuan Shu.But he knew Yuan Kui and that Yuan Benchu ​​quite well.

They are all flashy and fame-loving people. It's hard to say how virtuous they are, but this scheming person is first-class.

Cai Yong also doesn't want to cause trouble now, if the Yuan family is angered by this matter, even with the support of the emperor, there will inevitably be a lot of trouble.And the last thing he wants to provoke is probably trouble.Therefore, Cai Yong had to think twice.

"Master Zi, I heard that Yuan Gonggong's family already has a wife, and now he wants to marry a young daughter, so what about the original wife?"

"Ah, this..."

Wang Yun stammered and felt very troubled how to explain this question.

In fact, this was also the question he had asked when Yuan Gonglu begged him.The answers that can be obtained are not satisfactory.

Cai Yong's expression changed slightly, he understood.

"Come on, see off!"

He stood up in a huff, his face sank like water, and he said coldly.

Wang Yun hurriedly said: "Cai Weng, please think twice about this matter... Yuan Gonglu was born in the family of the fourth generation and three princes, and Yuan Kai is a disciple and former official all over the world. It would be a beautiful thing if Cai Weng could be married. Pile. In the name of Cai Weng, combined with the ability of the Taifu, the eunuch temple can be eliminated, and the Han Dynasty can be rejuvenated. Although there are some grievances for Zhaoji, I can assure you that I will treat you kindly..."

"Master Wang, don't deceive others too much!"

Cai Yong couldn't bear it anymore.

To put it bluntly, isn't it because of that shitty politics?Laozi has no intention of participating.I don't know what kind of bird Yuan Gonglu is, but it is too much for my daughter to be a concubine.Don't say that Yuan Gonglu is not good, even if the emperor asks, if Zhaoji is not given a seat in the palace, I will never agree.Your prince-teacher talks about Yuan Kai, but keeps silent about the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family.Only he, Yuan Kai, has students, but I don't?
When Cai Yong got angry, the prince was startled.

"Master Wang, if you leave now, we still have some sympathy. If you continue to talk, don't blame the old man for not giving you face...Where is your family, send Mr. Wang out."

Four or five family members immediately rushed into the main hall, staring at Wang Zishi.

Wang Yun's face was ashamed like a monkey's butt.

Escorted by Cai's family, he walked out of Cai's gate.In this heart, there is a sense of resentment that has never been felt before.

You old man Cai, if you refuse, you just refuse, why do you have to be so desperate?What's wrong with my face...

Turning around, he glanced at the gate of Cai Mansion bitterly, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, and he had a knot in his heart towards Cai Yong.

******
Let's talk about Dong Bi, after Cai An came to the back garden of Cai Mansion, Cai An stopped leaving.

In the garden, only the faint sound of the piano can be heard, crying like complaining, so sad.The tune is no longer the ninety-nine sunny days, but it has been replaced by an ancient tune that is almost lost, called "Concubine Xiang".According to legend, this Guqin was originally created by Emperor Shun, one of the five emperors. He was highly virtuous and highly regarded by Emperor Yao, who married his two daughters to Emperor Shun.

The three of them are very loving.

Later, when Emperor Shun was inspecting the world, he died in Cangwu Mountain.

The two wives, Ehuang and Nvying, who are often mentioned by later generations, traveled thousands of miles to find Emperor Shun's body.In front of Emperor Shun's grave, weeping blood and tears, the green bamboo was dyed red, hence the name Xiangfei bamboo.Later, someone composed a song about Concubine Xiang in memory of them.The song expresses Ehuang Nvying's longing for Shun, and the deep affection is also hidden in the five tones.

Dong Bi couldn't understand the mystery of this piece, but he could also feel the sadness in the heart of the player who played the piano.

After hesitating again and again, Dong Bi suddenly raised his voice and sang the song "Nine Nine Sunny Days" outside the garden.

The sound of the piano in the garden stopped abruptly, and after a while, the sound of the same rhythm sounded with Dong Bi's singing.

"My lord, this is an important place for the inner house, you can't go in!"

When Cai An heard Dong Bi singing and the same melody sounded in the garden, he already understood the clue in his heart.

But seeing Dong Bi going to create something in the garden, how could he ignore it.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Dong Bi was in a hurry at the moment, raised his hand and pushed, and Cai An's push was like a somersault.

"Butler, offended!"

Dong Bi hurriedly apologized and rushed into the garden.

He let that person go that day, and regretted it for a long time afterwards.It is a fate destined by God to meet here now.

If you give up, then you are really acting against the sky.

In the garden, there are many flowers.But if you look carefully, you can find that most of the flowers in the yard are of the same species.Dong Bi couldn't recognize the origin of this flower, but felt that there was a simple and elegant desolate air.It's nice, but a bit cold.

Perhaps it is some kind of flower that will become extinct in later generations.

Dong Bi didn't care to observe, and looked up.

Among the sea of ​​flowers, there is an octagonal pavilion with a simple and graceful style.

There was a person sitting kneeling in the pavilion, wearing a white skirt and a big red fox fur cloak, the red and white alternated, very eye-catching.

A head of black hair, flowing like a waterfall, reaching to the waist.

Under the black hair, one can vaguely see a soft curve and a delicate neck, which is quite sexy.

The man turned his back to Dong Bi, but the figure from his back was so familiar.Dong Bi took two quick steps, then stopped suddenly.

The sound of the piano stopped, and the woman in the pavilion let out a deep sigh.

"Sister, how are you these days?"

"My lord, you still came to Luoyang!"

She stood up and turned around slowly.There was a hint of haggardness on that magnificent face.The autumn waves are shining, but there is a sense of joy.If you look carefully, you will find that her long skirt is a little loose, and the small waist that was so full of grip in my memory now looks a little bloated.Dong Bi's head buzzed, but in an instant, it was blank.

That woman is indeed Wang Ji!
But now Dong Bi also guessed her true identity.

There is no woman in the Cai mansion, who can play the qin here, except Cai Yan, Cai Yong's daughter?
Cai Yan seemed to have difficulty walking, and walked down the gazebo.

At this time, Dong Bi also came to his senses, ran over quickly, and hugged her in his arms.

Only after losing can we know how to cherish!
Dong Bi was at this moment, but he was no longer willing to let the beauty in his arms escape.He broke his promise once, and he will never let it go.

Cai An was outside the garden, seeing this scene, he could only smile wryly.

Today's somersault, I'm afraid it was a waste of time...

In the garden, it was very quiet, so quiet that one could even hear each other's breathing.

Dong Yu hugged Cai Yan and said in his heart: This is how it feels!

That night, although the memory was not very deep, the body produced a memory, firmly remembering Cai Yan's tender body.

Dong Bi's heart was pounding, and he didn't know what to say, so he just hugged quietly.

And Cai Yan struggled a bit at first, then snuggled into Dong Bi's arms, feeling the wonderful tenderness of this moment.

When I came back from Lintao, I always dreamed about that ugly face.

Every time I wake up, there is another kind of sweetness.Cai Yan's affection for Dong Bi was more curiosity than admiration at first.Unexpectedly, as she got to know Dong Bi better, she gradually understood that under that ugly and rude appearance, there was a deep and gentle heart.Cai Yan was deeply attracted by Dong Bi's strange behavior and inexplicable talents.

And that night, although Cai Yan lost his innocence, he didn't feel any resentment in his heart.

Just unwilling to affect the relationship between Dong Bi and Lu'er, Cai Yan chose to retreat.

I thought that this memory would gradually become blurred after the separation, but who would have imagined... The most frightening thing is that this ugly ghost also chased Luo Yang.Although they didn't come here for her, they just echoed the old saying: This is a marriage bestowed by God.

Deep feelings filled the hearts of the two of them.

"You two, you two did a good job!"

A sudden roar came, waking Dong Pi and Cai Yan awake.

Turning his head to look, he saw Cai Yong standing at the gate of the garden, his face was ashen, trembling all over, pointing at the two of them, speechless.

Cai Yan blushed, but soon turned pale.

He stopped in front of Dong Bi first, "Father, listen to my daughter's explanation!"

"Explain, you shameless girl, what else do you need to explain, shut up."

Dong Bi pulled Cai Yan behind him, "Mr. Bo Jie, all the mistakes in this matter are the fault of Dong Bi alone, and have nothing to do with my sister. If you want to punish, punish me alone. I, I , I really want to be with my sister."

"Shut up, shut up... I, Cai Bozhe, am really blind, to actually lure wolves into the house... Cai An, Cai An!"

At this time, Cai An had no idea where he had gone.

Cai Yong was furious.

Seeing Dong Yu and Cai Yan hugging each other, the doubts of Xun Yue became clear all of a sudden.The old man turned from embarrassment into anger, pulled out the sword under his ribs with a clang, and rushed over with a roar, "I'm going to kill you bastard."

"Father... none of his business!"

Cai Yan was so frightened that his face was as white as paper, and he ran out from behind Dong Pi and hugged Cai Yong.

"Brother, hurry up!"

Who would have thought that Dong Bi's stubbornness would come up at this moment.Standing still at the same spot, he said loudly, "I won't leave. This is a matter between the two of us. How could I leave you here alone. If the husband punishes you, punish me alone."

"Brother, listen to me, father is angry now, if you don't leave, I'm afraid he will be very angry."

"But, but..."

Seeing Cai Yong's eyes were red, roaring and roaring like crazy, he didn't have the slightest demeanor of a gentleman.

Dong Pi shuddered, but even nine bulls couldn't pull him back with his stubbornness.

Take two quick steps and kneel in front of Cai Yong: "Mister, please punish... But, I want to marry my sister back home, please allow me, sir."

Cai Yan also understood that Dong Bi would never slip away at this moment.

Although very scared, but also feel extremely sweet.

Backing to Dong Bi's side, he knelt down with some difficulty, "Father, please help me!"

Cai Yan held the sword high, his body trembling constantly.Really go to kill people?That is obviously not realistic.In fact, more than half of what he did was for show.

Dong Bi, although this kid looks ugly, he is a caring person.

At least he didn't leave his daughter and run away just now, but stayed.This also shows that this kid really likes his daughter.

Although the family background is a bit poor, it is still not satisfactory.

Literary talent, I have never heard of it, but the name of bravery is known to everyone in the world.

It's not a grievance for my daughter to marry this ugly boy.Moreover, Dong Bi doesn't have a regular wife, so it's pretty innocent to say the least.

It's just, it's just that this kid is too much!

Although I was angry in my heart, I gradually calmed down.

Throwing the sword among the flowers, Cai Yong walked away with a livid face.

After a while, Cai An rushed over with a smile on his face, "Miss, Mr. Captain, the master has invited you to meet him in the study."

Looking at each other, Dong Bi felt uneasy.

After supporting Cai Yan, the two followed Cai An towards the study.

Along the way, neither of them opened their mouths, but their moods were extremely restless.When he reached the door of the study, Cai An stopped, "Miss, sir, please..."

Taking a deep breath, Dong Bi grabbed Cai Yan's little hand and walked into the door.

But seeing Cai Yong with his back to the door, staring at the words on the wall in a daze, the two walked into the room without looking back.

"Sir (father)..."

Dong Bi and Cai Yan spoke at the same time, and the catkin they held tightly in their hands trembled slightly.

"There are a few things, you need to promise the old man!"

"Please teach me, sir!"

"First, marry the little girl immediately!"

"immediately?"

Dong Bi was quite surprised, and looked at Cai Yong suspiciously, wondering why the old man suddenly changed his mind.

Cai Yong turned around and roared with a ferocious face: "Nonsense, if you don't do it right away, why don't you want my daughter to marry you with her big belly? You bastard boy, cut it first and then play it, why don't you want to procrastinate now? "

"pregnant?"

Dong Bi didn't react for a moment, looked at Cai Yong suspiciously and said, "What big belly?"

It's no wonder that Dong Bi really doesn't know much about women.In my previous life, I had little contact with people, but in this life...

Cai Yong was trembling with anger, "What do you think?"

Dong Bi turned his head to look at Cai Yan in astonishment, but saw that Cai Yan's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, her head was hanging down, and even her snow-white neck was also red.

Looking down, the bloated waist...

Dong Bi yelled loudly, "Sister, is it true?"

Cai Yan snorted, which was regarded as an answer.

But Dong Bi's mind turned into a blank.

It sounds a bit ridiculous, but, yes, but am I going to be a father?Dong Bi was really not mentally prepared for this.

You know, he is not yet sixteen!
Cai Yong sullenly said, "The first thing is to get married right away... the day, I will choose, and I will send someone to notify your father. In short, this matter should be done quickly. I don't want to be Luo Yang in the future A joke among those people."

After taking several deep breaths, Dong Bi finally calmed down.

"The younger generation depends entirely on the master."

"Second, you have to take care of my daughter in the future. Although this child is talented, she is also a little bit miserable..."

"I will never let my sister be wronged in the slightest."

"Third, I only have this girl under my knees. You will have children in the future. If you want to share my Cai family's surname, it can be regarded as passing on the incense of my Cai family."

"Father, you are too much!"

Cai Yan was a little annoyed, and she complained coquettishly.

No wonder, this matter of incense has always been very important.When Cai Yan married Wei Zhongdao, Cai Yong failed to bring it up because he was unlucky and the Wei family was powerful.But it's different now, so I put forward the request very directly.

Dong Chuan didn't care much.

It doesn't matter what the surname is. Whether it's Cai or Dong, aren't they all his children?
"Sister, don't tell me, I agree with this matter... Sir, it is inevitable to be lonely when you are alone at home. It is always a pleasure to have a child by your side. But sir, in my opinion, you might as well move to live in the gate of my big house. Good to take care of."

Cai Yong sneered, "Do you hear that troll warrior of yours yelling to kill every day? Forget it, I'd better stay here alone."

"May I ask if you have any orders, sir?"

"I don't think about it now, I'll talk about it when I think about it... But boy, from today onwards, you are not allowed to see my daughter."

"what……"

"It's time for the big wedding. I will tell you when I have chosen a date. But before that, you are absolutely not allowed to disturb Zhaoji again."

"This, I agree."

Cai Yong said with a straight face, "Okay, you go back. I still have something to say to Zhao Ji... By the way, finding someone to propose marriage is a big deal, don't forget it. Also, you have been honest recently. One point, don't stir up trouble outside."

"Then, I'll take my leave first!"

Dong Bi glanced at Cai Yan reluctantly, and followed Cai An away.

"Father, what are you doing? Why are you making it so difficult for him?"

"You girl..." Cai Yong's face softened a lot, "Aren't I doing this for your own good? Speaking of which, his Dong family is also considered to have a clean family background and is worthy of you. But you have also seen this kid, stubborn Really. If you come up with a lot of energy, then you don’t care about anything... If I don’t give him a blow, what will you do if you are bullied in the future?”

"But……"

"You don't have to, I'm in charge of this matter, so it's decided. These days, stay at home well, don't run around if you have nothing to do. Today, people from the Yuan family came to propose marriage to me, but I drove them away. But I'm worried, they won't give up."

"Daughter knows!"

"Also, the anthology of Chilechuan that you compiled before... Mr. Chilechuan, is that the ugly boy?"

Cai Yan nodded shyly, "Exactly."

"Ha, I didn't expect this kid to have such abilities? The beauty rolled up the beaded curtain, sitting deeply and frowning... Not bad, not bad!"

"It's more than that, his ability is more than that!"

"He, his, who is he... The girl is really shameless, she hasn't even passed the door yet, so she speaks nicely for him?"

"Father……"

Cai Yan scowled, and then said to Cai An who had just sent Dong Bi away and came back again: "Uncle An, I trouble you to bring the anthology of Chilechuan in my room."

Cai An agreed, and trotted away.

After a while, he came in holding a book and handed it to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan opened the book and handed it to Cai Yong, "Father, take a look, this is the annotation of the Six Classics he made."

"Oh? That ugly boy can still comment on the Six Classics?"

Cai Yong was really unexpected this time, flipping through two pages of the neatly bound "Chilechuan Anthology" in Cai Yan's hand, he said: "What kind of strange symbols are these? ? Where is the comment!"

"Listen to my explanation!"

Cai Yan cheered up and explained in detail the Six Classics she had copied down on the ranch, and then pointed to the punctuation marks and said: "Look, father, these symbols are from his hand, every sentence, every interval, is it true?" Doesn't it represent his understanding of the "Shangshu"? If these symbols, called punctuation, can be spread, it will be a great thing for scholars in the world... If the "Han Ji" compiled by you Wouldn't it be easier to understand with this punctuation?"

"Uuuuuuu..."

Cai Yong's brows were furrowed from the beginning, and gradually relaxed.

"Ha, I didn't expect this ugly boy to look vulgar, but he still has such abilities. Well, yes, yes... These symbols seem simple, but they have infinite mysteries. Only when you study them carefully can you understand the meaning. Yes ,good!"

Cai Yan said proudly: "Father talks nonsense, he is not vulgar. Although he is ugly, he has a good heart."

"Hmph, are you still saying you won't speak for him? Girl, don't think that you can hide your thoughts from me. You want me, an old man, to show my face and look for that ugly boy, right?"

"Father……"

Cai Yan, who had been seen through her mind, was shattered and blushed again.

"Female colleges don't keep people, no matter, no matter... that ugly boy is a bit ugly, but I am still satisfied with him."

Cai Yong closed the book and said with a smile: "Then this book will stay with me. I'll have someone send me his annotations tomorrow. I'll take a good look at it. If it's really what you said , He's so talented, it doesn't matter if I give up my old face. Damn, why do I have to show my son-in-law a face without saying that I lost a daughter?"

"Father, you are talking more and more vulgarly now!"

"With that vulgar son-in-law, even if I don't want to be vulgar, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.After a while, he stopped laughing and sighed faintly.

"Father, why are you sighing again!"

"Silly boy, I'm worried about that ugly... He came to Beijing this time as a proton. He seems to have a bright future, but in fact, he is dangerous at every step. It's also this kid's good luck, why? Jin, Yuan Kai, and Eunji didn't want to make trouble for him. Otherwise, just relying on him to piss off that Xu Zijiang would be enough for him to drink a pot... Then Xu Zijiang died as soon as he died, but he just left him behind An evaluation of a 'villain', I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future."

Hearing this, Cai Yan immediately became nervous.

"Father, what should we do? You should think of a way!"

"What can I do... Once Yuedan's reputation has been assessed, who can overthrow it? Besides, your marriage will definitely annoy the Yuan family. I am worried that the Yuan family will not let you go. This is comparable to Yuedan's reputation." The reputation of critics is even more dangerous.”

"Ah, what can I do...Father, otherwise, I won't marry!"

"Bullshit, if you don't marry, what will happen to the child after it is born? Could it be that he is not allowed to be that shameful illegitimate child? Besides, you can also take this opportunity to settle those disputes with the Wei family. If you don't marry for a day, what will happen to the Wei family The family can't get rid of the relationship... In this case, I will enter the palace immediately, and ask the emperor to break your relationship with the Wei family, and it is better for you to marry as soon as possible."

"But Ah Chou... what about the Yuan family?"

"If Yuan Kui plots against Ah Chou because of this incident, then I will put my old face on the line, and I won't give up with them."

Cai Yong said with a firm look on his face.

Turning his head, looking at the words on the wall, he suddenly sneered and said, "It's a big deal, everyone will come and throw all the birds into the forest, and the white land will be so clean...Could it be that us barefoot, still Will you be afraid of his shoes?"

Cai Yan listened, thoughtful.

------

Cai Yan marries Dong Pi, Wang Yun loses face, Yuan Shu feels unwilling...

The scholars plotted secretly, and Huangfusong's death surfaced again. Mrs. Huaxin beat the drums and cried out for grievances, vowing to avenge her husband, but it caused evil to slam her heart.
