three kings

Chapter 77

There is a mansion in the south city of Luoyang called Cai Mansion, which is the mansion of Cai Yong, the minister of the dynasty.Today, the Cai Mansion is full of red lanterns, cannons and candles, a joyous scene.

Cai Yong has a talented woman named Cai Yan, who is seventeen years old, has extraordinary talents and can play the piano well.Because of her old age, she loves her very much.

Today is the day when Cai Yan left the court. Her husband's family is Wei Zhongdao, the son of the Wei family in Hedong. The ancestor of the Wei family is Wei Qing, the great general of the former Han Dynasty.

Later, in order to survive, the Wei family changed their careers and became businessmen. Relying on the fame and contacts left by their ancestors, they developed both black and white, and almost monopolized a large number of businesses in Bingzhou and Hedong.

Originally, Cai Yong looked down on the Wei family who had turned into a businessman, and did not allow Wei Zhongdao's marriage proposal.But later, for some unknown reason, Wei Zhongdao actually talked to Empress He, and asked Empress He to personally decree that Cai Yan betrothed to Wei Zhongdao.

Cai Yong did not dare to violate He Hou's will, so he had to agree.However, as time got along, Cai Yong gradually discovered Wei Zhongdao's talent, and talked with him several times. Cai Yong was gradually impressed by Wei Zhongdao's talent and self-cultivation, and agreed to accept Wei Zhongdao.

As for whether Cai Yantong agrees, it is not her business.Since ancient times, marriage is the order of parents and the words of matchmakers.Cai Yan didn't have any reason to object, not to mention who the relative was, so Cai Yan was not allowed to make his own opinions.

In the wedding room, Cai Yan was wearing a bright red wedding gown, painted with a touch of pink, making her look even more glamorous and unremarkable.She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, and murmured: "The one who should come is still here, and I can't hide." Her tone was full of disappointment and regret.

Ever since she came back from Yunwu Mountain that time, she has been very indifferent to Wei Zhongdao. She was supposed to get on the sedan chair a few months ago, but she tried every means to delay it. Now even if she wants to delay, she has no excuses.

She wanted Wei Zhongdao to give up on her, but what he got in return was the other party's abandonment; she wanted to refuse the marriage, but she was afraid of the queen's investigation.

There is only one way she can think of, and that is to procrastinate.But "dragging" is not a solution.If you can procrastinate for one day, you may not be able to procrastinate for the second day...the third day...after all, there is a time when you can't procrastinate.

Like now.

The Wei family has already issued a death order, no matter what happens today, they will marry her.Now she has no choice but to marry.

Xiaohuan on the side was the only one who knew what Cai Yan was thinking. Seeing how sad Cai Yan was, she couldn't help but said: "Miss, you still don't want to marry, right? Go find Mr. Sun."

After hearing Xiaohuan's words, Cai Yan wanted to say "Go", she sighed and said, "The sea of ​​people is vast, the world is so big, where do you want me to find it?"

Xiaohuan said: "I know, it's the Grand Tutor's mansion, Mr. Sun is the son of Grand Tutor Sun Zhe, and his name is Sun Can and Ziyu."

Cai Yan's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's the rebellious general Sun Can who defeated [-] yellow scarves with [-] soldiers, and then begged for rewards for his soldiers?" Staying at home, not daring to go out, for fear of meeting that person again, it will only add to the sadness.Although he stays at home, he still gets some stories about Sun Can from his close friends and his father.

Xiaohuan confirmed: "Yes, Xiaohuan met Sun Gongzi once on the street when he came back triumphantly. In order not to make Miss sad, so she kept silent."

"General Disobedience, he became General Disobedience at such a young age, he should be the No. It's still sweet, as long as she knows that the other party is doing well, she will be very happy and satisfied.

Xiaohuan persuaded: "Xiaohuan knows that Sun Gongzi also likes Miss, as long as you go to him, then you can be together?"

Cai Yan smiled lightly and said: "Xiaohuan, thank you, but you don't need to mention this matter. The imperial decree of Empress He is not different from His Majesty's imperial decree. If I leave, how will my father explain it? Also, he is the youngest of the big man. The general is also the most outstanding one. I believe that his future achievements will not be lower than that of the great general Wei Qing and the hussar general Huo Qubing. If I go to him, it will be like asking him to give up all his future and everything. , then what am I?!! Those who should come will eventually come, and those who should be forgotten will always be forgotten. I can neither delay his bright future, nor allow him to be accused by Xiaoyi, and at the same time, I cannot abandon my father No matter, what reason do you think I have to go to him?"

Staring blankly at the bronze mirror, he chuckled and said, "Having news about him and knowing that he is doing well, everything is enough."

"Miss..." Xiaohuan choked up.

Cai Yan smiled and said: "Put on my makeup, there is no need to escape. I know what I should know now, so I don't need to ask for anything extravagantly."

After putting on her makeup, Cai Yan walked out of the courtyard step by step with Xiaohuan's support.

Outside the Cai Mansion, there were already crowds of people. It is the unique nature of us Chinese to join in the fun. The marriage of Luoyang's first talented woman caused a sensation no less than Sun Can's triumphant return back then.

Wei Zhongdao looked anxiously at the mansion, and he wanted to welcome Cai Yan back to Hedong one step earlier and make her his wife.

Finally, a beautiful figure came out slowly, and Cai Yan walked towards the sedan chair step by step with her head down.

After a thousand calls, he came out, still holding the pipa and half covering his face.This poem by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, can just express Wei Zhongdao's mood at the moment. How much he wishes he could see Cai Yan wearing Wei Jiaxi's robe at the moment, but he has no chance.

Just like what Cai Yan said, what should come will always come, and you can't hide even if you want to.

Just as Cai Yan was about to get on the sedan chair, a loud shout came over.

"Wait a minute...all irrelevant people stand on both sides, otherwise they will all be dealt with as obstructing official duties."

Sun Can came over at this time, and he gradually walked towards Wei Zhongdao on his horse.

"Ah..." Xiaohuan yelled in surprise, and said to Cai Yan in a low voice: "Miss, did Mr. Sun come here to snatch a marriage?"

Cai Yan didn't speak, but just looked at Sun Can in bewilderment. She didn't expect that she would meet Sun Can at this time and in this identity, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable in Wei Jiaxi gown.I thought, "It would be great if I could take off this clothes immediately."

Xiaohuan's startled breath caught Sun Can's attention, he saw Xiaohuan, and of course he also saw Cai Yan.

It turned out to be her, she turned out to be Cai Yan, the unmarried daughter-in-law of the Wei family, a bitterness spread in Sun Can's mouth, a tingling pain passed in his heart,
How much he wants to ask "Are you okay?", How much he wants to ask "Why?" Even if it is a "good" word, or a reason that cannot fool a three-year-old child.

However, he can't, he can't let others misunderstand anything, and he can't ruin her reputation.Not to break her heart.

He forced himself to look away, looked at Wei Zhongdao and said in a low voice, "Shouldn't you marry her?"

At this time, he understood one thing, that is, the doubts brought to him by Yunwu Mountain and Zuimenglou.

There were three waves of people on Yunwu Mountain that day.The first wave was the killer who killed the people who went up the mountain; therefore, they wanted to kill Cai Yan.The second wave of people is a big shot, he took a fancy to the beauty of Cai Yan and others, so he ordered them to be arrested.

As Zhang Rang's base in Yunwu Mountain, there must be masters on the mountain. He was already injured at that time, and he would definitely not be able to deal with a few more masters.

However, there were no masters coming down from the mountain, which was enough to prove that someone persuaded the other party's actions.This person is the third wave of people, that is, Wei Zhongdao.When he found Cai Yan among the people that the big man wanted to catch, he persuaded the big man and let them go down the mountain.

The next day, he went back to Yunwu Mountain to lead the horse. On the way, he heard the sentence "Brother Wei, since that bastard and that son of a boy love each other, why should you feel sad for that shameless woman! Why don't you be like me and be good?" Enjoy and enjoy."

It is a proof that Wei Zhongdao is on the mountain.Soon, he met Wei Zhongdao again in Zuimenglou. Wei Zhongdao's jealous and hostile gaze was also a proof that he was on the mountain at that time.

Because, what Wei Zhongdao likes is Cai Yan, and apart from some accidents of skin-to-skin dating with Cai Yan on Yunwu Mountain, nothing else happened to him.Of course, I believe Cai Yan would not even tell the maid next to him about that kiss, let alone Wei Zhongdao.

All the signs indicated that Wei Zhongdao was on Yunwu Mountain at that time.However, as for why Wei Zhongdao didn't recognize himself in Zuimeng Tower, and he had to know his name to show hostility, he didn't know.

In fact, Sun Can's guess was basically correct, but he missed one point.It was Wei Zhongdao who didn't recognize Sun Can at all.At that time, Wei Zhongdao was with Zhang Sheng on the Yunwu Mountain. Zhang Sheng recognized Sun Can, so he hid far away in fear of being discovered by Sun Can.And because Wei Zhongdao didn't know him and stood far away, he had a very vague impression of Sun Can. What's more, Sun Can's clothes were unwearable at that time, and he changed into clean ones at Liu Hua's home.Wei Zhongdao couldn't recognize him even more. If Zhang Sheng hadn't told him, he would never have known that the person who was so friendly with Cai Yan was Sun Can.

Wei Zhongdao smiled bitterly, and said, "If I knew you would come, I wouldn't embarrass her."

"Nephew Sun Xian, this old man married a daughter today, why did you bring a team of soldiers here to make trouble?" Just as Sun Can and Wei Zhongdao were chatting, Cai Yong's angry voice came over, and the joyous wedding was disturbed by Sun Can There is no atmosphere at all. In an era full of customs, this atmosphere is very particular.Because, the warmer the atmosphere, the more affectionate the couple is, the more people attending the wedding, the longer the time for the new couple to respect and love each other, now there is no atmosphere, no wonder Cai Yong, who has always been modest, has such a big problem gas.

Sun Can glanced at Cai Yong, held up the Chixiao Sword, and said, "Here is the Chixiao Sword!"

All the people present knelt down.

Sun Candao: "Hedong Wei Zhongdao was lawless and colluded with the eunuch Zhang Rang to resell babies under the age of one. The evidence is convincing. Now take him back to the government office for interrogation."

After speaking, Sun Can took a deep look at Cai Yan, turned around and left.

Wei Zhongdao also wanted to take a look at his beloved, but he didn't have the face. He sighed, put on the iron chain, and walked towards the government office.
