Back at his mansion, Lin Nan hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss things, but when everyone was busy and arrived, it was already time for dinner.

Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to eat while studying the matter of going to the state with everyone.

Lin Nandao: "Tomorrow we are going to Bingzhou, I don't know how you are ready?"

Zhao Yun said: "Big brother, don't worry, there is no problem with Master Wang." ”

Chen Gong said: "The things that Master Zheng needs to prepare have also been prepared. ”

Wang Cang said: "I have already packed my things." ”

Lin Nan said: "In that case, then Zhong Xuan will stay here tonight, don't go back, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

Wang Cang was helpless, so he had to nod and agree.

Then Zhang He said: "Everything has been packed up, and the people who stayed have also been arranged." ”

Lin Nan nodded and said: "It's so good, I've been busy recently, I've worked hard everyone, Nan is here to thank you." ”

As he spoke, Lin Nan clenched his fists, and as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Nan immediately said: "You don't have to return the courtesy, it's important to eat." ”

Seeing Lin Nan's busyness, everyone didn't know what to do, and they didn't know whether they should return the gift or not.

Just when everyone was still confused, Lin Nan said again: "Tomorrow, everyone has a personal task, but not everyone has to go to the state." ”

As soon as they heard Lin Nan say this, everyone was confused again, why? Not everyone went to merge the state, so where did the people who didn't go to the merger state?

Just when everyone was confused, they heard Lin Nan say: "Zilong listens to orders!"

Zhao Yun hurriedly got up and said, "The last will be!"

Lin Nandao: "Third brother, you go to Zhuo County, Youzhou, go to Zhangjiazhuang to visit Zhuang Zhifei Zhang Yide, and ask him to go out of the mountain to help me resist the Huns." ”

Zhao Yundao: "Big brother, what credentials do you need?"

Lin Nandao: "No voucher is required. You just say that you are my second brother, because I had a gentleman's covenant with him before, I don't expect him to change his mind, Zhang Yide is a hero in the world, and you will naturally know if you go. ”

Zhao Yun said: "The last general will obey the order!"

Immediately, Lin Nan waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Yun to sit down.

Then he said: "Dian Wei listens to the order!"

Dian Wei also hurriedly got up and said, "The last general!"

Lin Nandao: "You go to Yanzhou County, go to Xu Zhongkang, do the same thing as the two of them, you and Zhongkang are also very familiar, there should be no problem." ”

"Don't worry, my lord! The general will definitely complete the task!" Dian Wei said, shaking his head.

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Well, I know you can do it." However, you still have a task, that is, after finding Xu Zhongkang, go with him to Taishan Juping, visit Yu Ban Yu Wenze, and ask him to come out of the mountain. If he refuses, he will persuade him, and if he refuses, you will tie him with a rope. Remember, you must bring him in, and you must not hurt him. That's why I let you go with Zhong Kang. ”

Dian Wei thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll try not to hurt him." ”

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Chen Gong, Cui Yan and the others were a little speechless, and secretly thought: "How can the lord be like this, if people don't come, they have to kidnap people, isn't this a robber and bandit?"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Lin Nan said: "Yu Wenze, this person, is a genius who trains and governs the army, with his help, we can get twice the result with half the effort." So, for such a talent, I'm really reluctant, hehe, so, you know. ”

Seeing Lin Nan's treacherous smile, Chen Gong said helplessly: "I didn't expect the lord's thirst for talent to such a point, but I am afraid that this will damage the lord's reputation." ”

Lin Nandao: "Fame and fortune are just things outside the body, what is the use of caring about those, the merits and demerits of a body, let future generations comment on it." ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Chen Gong was speechless.

Immediately, Lin Nan said: "Cui Yan listens to the order!"

Cui Yan hurriedly said: "Please give an order!"

Lin Nandao: "Ji Jue, your task is relatively heavy, you have to go to Hebei first, go to invite Tian Yuanhao and Fu Zizheng, and after they are ready, you will also go to Beihai to visit Guan Youan and others." In short, Han Xin ordered troops, the more the merrier, you must bring all the people you can bring to me, resisting the Huns, it is not an easy thing, you still need to work together, and the people of the world are responsible for it. ”

Cui Yan said solemnly: "Don't worry, the lord will do his best." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Okay, Ji Jue, I'm optimistic about you." ”

Cui Yan smiled bitterly: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of the lord." ”

After giving the order, Lin Nan said: "Let's eat, everyone, the food is cold, alas, after running for a day, I'm hungry." ”

After speaking, Lin Nan's cheeks bulged, and his mouth was already full.

Seeing Lin Nan's gobbling appearance, everyone felt funny, but they didn't dare to laugh, so they began to storm the clouds.

But halfway through eating, Lin Nan suddenly asked, "Do you think there's anything else to add?"

Chen Gong said: "The lord has assigned the task in such detail, what else do we have to add." ”

Cui Yan also said: "The lord is thoughtful and specific, and he is comprehensive and comprehensive, and I admire him." ”

Lin Nandao: "Okay, don't wear a top hat, this is something I have been planning for a long time, so be it, Ziyi, Junyi, Gongtai, Zhongxuan, Gongming, Ziwei, and Xiaomei and Wang Zheng The two masters will follow me into the state, and the rest of the people are busy with their own affairs." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone agreed again.

After everything was over, Lin Nan felt a lot more relaxed, but when he thought that he was about to leave Luoyang, he was about to leave his little sister of the Cai family, but he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

Therefore, Lin Nan wanted to go to see Cai Yan after dinner, but due to the delay of some things, when Lin Nan was free, it was already dark, and going to see Cai Yan so late seemed to have an impact on Cai Yan's reputation, but if he didn't go, he was still a little unwilling, just like that, in the midst of the contradiction, Lin Nan and Guan Hai came to the street.

Boredom, Lin Nan and Guan Hai walked aimlessly on the street.

Luoyang City at night is unusually quiet, only occasionally one or two dog barks from the deep alley, the bright moonlight smeared the entire imperial city with a layer of frost, spring has arrived, but Yenan is still a little precipitous, but as a wanderer in such a quiet night, Lin Nan felt a trace of comfort slowly flowing out of his arms, it seems that wandering in the late south is also a kind of enjoyment of life.

Unconsciously, Lin Nan seemed to hear a ding-dong sound of the piano coming from a distance, so, under the guidance of curiosity, Lin Nan walked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, and when he got closer, Lin Nan found that the sound of the piano actually came from Cai's mansion.

When he came to the wall of Cai's mansion, Lin Nan listened carefully, but felt that the sound of the piano was very tactful, as if there were indescribable hundreds of turns.

So, Lin Nan turned to Guan Hai and said, "Go and bring my flute." ”

As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, Guan Hai flew out as if he were flying.

Looking at Guan Hai's back, Lin Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly: Don't let the night inspectors arrest you as a thief.

However, Guan Hai was really fast, and after a while, he brought the horizontal flute, although he was a little breathless, although Lin Nan's mansion was not far from Cai's mansion.

With the flute in hand, Lin Nan and Guan Hai came to the backyard of Cai's mansion, and the sound of the piano came from the back garden.

Lin Nan made a silent gesture to Guan Hai, and then the figure jumped into the wall in a flash, and as soon as this hand was revealed, Guan Hai, who was only watching, was stunned and shocked.

Unexpectedly, Lin Nan was not very familiar with the backyard of Cai's Mansion, and when he landed, he stepped on a pile of dead branches, and suddenly made a sound.

"Who?" the piano stopped abruptly, and Cai Yan's voice rang out.

"Sister, it's me. Lin Nan hurriedly identified himself.

"Yes, is it Brother Ziyang?" Cai Yan asked in surprise.

Lin Nan hurriedly said: "It's me." ”

At this time, Guan Hai also jumped over the wall, so the two hurriedly walked in the direction where Cai Yan was.

Lin Nan took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Cai Yan sitting in the pavilion and stroking the qin.

When the two approached, Cai Yan said, "What is Brother Ziyang doing here so late at night?"

Lin Nan said: "I miss my sister so much, I'm afraid that I won't see it again in the future, so I came in the dark." ”

Cai Yan said angrily: "You are like this again, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be damaged? Besides, if you come so late, my reputation will be ruined by you." ”

Lin Nandao: "Sister, you really wronged me when you said that, I really didn't come to you on purpose, I came under the guidance of your piano, my sister doesn't believe it, you can ask Guan Hai." ”

Cai Yan pouted and said, "Hmph! Guan Hai is your house slave, can he expose your shortcomings?"

Lin Nan said speechlessly: "Alas, helpless, whatever my sister thinks, however, I listened to my sister's song just now, and it was so lingering and sympathetic, and it was so beautiful that I was moved for a while, so I jumped in, and I hope my sister will forgive me." ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Cai Yan immediately asked happily, "Is it really that good?"

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Well, when I heard this song, I guess my sister must have some things on her mind that she can't let go, which is why this song is so affectionate and moving." ”

As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, Cai Yan's originally excited face darkened again.

Immediately, Cai Yan sighed again and said: "You're leaving, but I don't know what to do, so I just play indiscriminately, maybe this is what you once said, 'Qu is born from the heart'." ”

Lin Nandao: "My sister finally understood, and it really lived up to my expectations." ”

"Of course, I don't see who I am, but Miss Cai, a talented woman in the world. Listening to Lin Nan's praise, Cai Yan laughed mischievously.

"Hehe, I really can't imagine that my sister sometimes has such a big face. Lin Nan said jokingly.

"Ha, Brother Ziyang, you are wrong, you have always been so big. ”

As soon as Cai Yan's words were finished, the two laughed together.

Cai Yan was smiling, but accidentally saw the transverse flute in Lin Nan's hand, so he asked curiously: "What is Brother Ziyang doing with the transverse flute?

"Hehe, that's exactly what I did, I just listened to my sister's piano, and I felt something in my heart, so I wanted to play a song with my sister's piano flute, I don't know what my sister thinks?"

"Okay, good, it's a great blessing in life to be able to play a song with Brother Ziyang. Hearing Lin Nan say that he wanted to play in an ensemble, Cai Yan became excited.

Lin Nan said: "It is also Nan's long-cherished wish to be able to play a song with my sister, my sister's piano, I have heard it, so Nan will play the flute first, and my sister can be accompanied by the sound of the piano." ”

Cai Yan said: "Okay, Brother Ziyang, please first." ”

So, Lin Nan's flute began to whimper.

The sound of the flute is very low, as if there are endless things in the heart, which makes people infinitely sad. As a result, the bright moon was sad, the wind and clouds changed color, the plants and trees were depressed, and the flowers withered.

This sadness finally moved Cai Yan, and the sound of the piano started again.

The sound of the piano is very soft, like rootless grass, like a floating leaf, and more like a puff of green smoke, lingering in people's hearts. Is it sadness, emotion, or a little sadness to squeeze through the strife in this world.

Although the two sounds are of different origins, the feelings they tell are so similar. One is sad, the other is helpless, one is like the moon in the water, and the other is like a flower in a dream.

I can't tell which is the sound of the piano and which is the sound of the flute, because they have merged together. And in this quiet night, they also merge with all things in heaven and earth. Everything is silent and contains the evening sound, and the piano and flute ensemble play the world.

So, the wind roared, the clouds roared softly, the grass and trees were broken, and the flowers shook down.

And Mingyue couldn't bear this lingering and miserable, so she plugged her ears with dark clouds.

In the end, God didn't endure this sadness, and gradually shed tears. And this deep song has finally come to an end.

After the song was played, there was one more person in the pavilion, and this person was Cai Yong who was drenched in the pavilion by the rain.

After listening to this song, Cai Yong sighed and said: "Those who are high in words and music can touch heaven and earth and move all things, I finally saw it today, and it is worth this life in vain." ”

Hearing someone speak, Lin Nan and Cai Yan were startled, and when they looked back, they were relieved to see that it was Cai Yong. However, Cai Yan blushed and didn't know how to explain to his father.

And Lin Nan hurriedly saluted: "I didn't expect the teacher to be in the pavilion, Nan is really rude." ”

Cai Yong said leisurely: "Ziyang has just a song, it is really a touching work." Hearing this song, the old man was very pleased. ”

It seems that Cai Yong's spirit is still addicted to the song, and he doesn't feel anything wrong with Lin Nan and his daughter's late-night tryst in the pavilion.

Seeing Cai Yong's obsessive appearance, Lin Nan quickly thought in his mind: Being caught by this old man right now is going to be a bad thing.

Thinking about it, Lin Nanyi gritted his teeth and said, "Nan is going to Bingzhou tomorrow, so before leaving, I want to ask the teacher to give me the next gift." ”

Seeing that Cai Yong didn't react, Lin Nan had to say it again.

But Cai Yong said, "Ziyang, what did you just tell me?"

Helpless, Lin Nan had to repeat it again.

Cai Yong smiled and said: "Hehe, Ziyang, what do you want, just open your mouth, as long as it is owned by the old man, the old man will never hesitate." ”

As soon as he heard Cai Yong say this, Lin Nan said boldly: "I, I want my sister." ”

"What?" Cai Yong was taken aback.

Lin Nan said solemnly: "I want to ask the teacher to marry my sister to me." ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Cai Yan didn't care if it was raining outside the pavilion, and ran back to his embroidery room like a frightened rabbit.

And Cai Yong also groaned: "What is this......"

Lin Nandao: "My friendship for my sister, the teacher knows, and it is all up to the teacher." ”

After listening to Lin Nan's words, Cai Yong pondered for a long time and said: "Yan'er has a strange temper since she was a child, and this matter still needs her consent. ”

When Lin Nan heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "This is natural, then I will come to visit the teacher again tomorrow." ”

"Okay. Cai Yong nodded: "Then I'll discuss it with Yan'er in a while." ”

So, seeing that the rain had stopped, Lin Nan hurriedly said goodbye to Cai Yong and ran back to his mansion with Guan Hai.

After Lin Nan left, Cai Yong pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: How could Ziyang appear in the back garden of his house so late at night?

However, Cai Yong immediately understood: Judging from the situation of the piano and flute ensemble just now, most of his daughter belonged to him, otherwise, he would not have had a late-night tryst with him.

Thinking of this, Cai Yong walked out of the pavilion with a smile.

And after Lin Nan ran home, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still up and down.

When everyone saw that Lin Nan came back safely, they didn't ask anything, because they would leave tomorrow, so they all went to rest.

And Lin Nan was lying on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep over and over.

If Cai Yan doesn't agree to himself, then he will really give up all his efforts, and all his efforts will be in vain, because after he leaves Luoyang, Wei Hong, Cao Cao, and even Yuan Shao and others may pursue Cai Yan, and Cai Yan's feelings for himself are afraid that they will not be able to stand the test.

Alas, I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves.

However, no matter what, Lin Nan still thought of a plan for tomorrow.

And after Cai Yan ran back to his embroidery room, he was also nervous, because his brother Ziyang finally opened his mouth to propose to his father, but he didn't know if his father could agree. If the father agrees, what should he do?

Just as Cai Yan was repeating in his heart, there was a knock on the door.

Cai Yan opened the door and saw that it was his father.

Letting his father into the house, Cai Yan said, "Father hasn't rested yet." ”

"Hmm. Cai Yong agreed.

After Cai Yong sat down, he said, "Yan'er, my father came to you so late, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter, please tell me directly. Cai Yan asked knowingly.

Cai Yong said: "It's the matter of Ziyang's courtship, and the father wants to know what you mean." ”

"Hmm......" Cai Yan lowered his head and said nothing, but his face was a little red.

Cai Yong said: "Yan'er, do you agree? or don't you agree?"

Cai Yan lowered his head and said, "I...... Actually......"

Cai Yong was surprised and said, "What's the matter? Could it be that you have other people you like?"

Cai Yan hurriedly said: "No! Actually...... I don't disagree, a qiē...... It's all up to your father. ”

As soon as he heard Cai Yan say this, Cai Yong laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's a female college who doesn't stay." ”

"Father!" Cai Yan wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Cai Yong sighed and said: "Okay, I'll give Ziyang an answer tomorrow, Lin Ziyang is young and promising, chic and dignified, knowledgeable and talented, and ambitious, when he is your good match, and you have a lifelong dependence, I will rest assured." ”

After speaking, Cai Yong laughed and left, while Cai Yan sat on the bed in a daze.

The next day, Lin Nan got up very early, and after packing up with everyone, it was bright.

Seeing that Yiqiē was ready, Lin Nan said: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, everyone, follow me to Caifu first." ”

As soon as they heard Lin Nan say this, everyone reluctantly followed Lin Nan out of the door.

Halfway through, Lin Nan bought a lot of dowries, although they were in a hurry, they were very valuable, and they did not disgrace the family style at all.

Seeing that Lin Nan had purchased so many dowries, everyone understood what Lin Nan meant. And the people on the road were very curious when they saw someone going to propose marriage early in the morning, pointing and discussing. Some of them even followed Lin Nan and the others, just to see whose house Lin Nan went to propose.

When he arrived at Cai's mansion, Lin Nan ordered someone to hurry up and carry the bride price.

Seeing Lin Nan coming early in the morning to propose, Cai Yong smiled and said, "Ziyang, why did you come so early?"

Lin Nan said: "Nan is going to Bingzhou today, and I am afraid that I will delay the trip, so I came a little early, and I didn't expect the teacher to get up so early." ”

Cai Yong said: "Now, you still call me teacher?"

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Son-in-law Lin Nan, I have seen my father-in-law." ”

Cai Yong hurriedly helped Lin Nan up, and said with a smile: "Ziyang, you will be Yan'er's support in the future, and you must be careful in everything in the future." ”

Lin Nan hurriedly said: "My father-in-law instructed that my son-in-law should take it to heart. ”

At this time, a laugh rang out: "Haha, Ziyang Xian brother, great joy, great joy." ”

Lin Nan looked back and saw that Cao Cao was already standing not far behind him at some point, looking at him with a smile.

Lin Nan hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Meng De is polite, happy and happy, I don't know that Brother Meng De is here, but to see off Ziyang?"

Cao Cao smiled: "Exactly, I just didn't expect Ziyang to propose marriage in Cai's mansion." ”

Lin Nan also smiled: "Let Brother Meng De laugh, in the next, that's it, hehe." ”

As soon as they heard Lin Nan say this, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who came with him, laughed in unison.

Laughing and laughing, Lin Nan still hasn't forgotten his business.

So, Lin Nan said to Cai Yong: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law will leave for Bingzhou in a while, so before leaving, I want to give Yan'er a gift." ”

Cai Yong said: "Exactly, you are also leaving, you should let the two of you meet." ”

So, Cai Yong hurriedly asked the little girl to invite Cai Yan.

After a while, Cai Yan came to everyone, but when he saw Lin Nan at first glance, Cai Yan was a little embarrassed, and he blushed unconsciously.

Seeing Cai Yan's shy and cute appearance, Lin Nan was greatly moved. So, Lin Nan stepped forward and said: "Yan'er, I'm going to leave for Bingzhou in a while, this time, I'm afraid we can only meet again when you and I get married." So, before I leave, I want to give you a gift. ”

As he spoke, Lin Nan took out a pair of exquisitely crafted gold earrings from his arms, put them in Cai Yan's hands, and said solemnly: "Yan'er, this is something that you and I have made a love for, I hope you can put it away properly." "These earrings were obtained by Lin Nan from his own gold shop, and the modern workmanship can be regarded as ingenious in this era.

As soon as they saw this pair of earrings, everyone's eyes were straight, this kind of workmanship, this kind of gold, they had never seen it, and Cai Yan was also full of emotion, stretched out his hand and solemnly took the earrings, and then agreed deeply.

Looking at Cai Yan's beautiful appearance, looking at her invincible sadness and fragility, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel an impulse and hugged Cai Yan in his arms all of a sudden.

In the face of this sudden change, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to do. And Cai Yan was also frightened in her heart, she didn't know what to do, she wanted to break free, but she didn't have the strength; Helpless, she had no choice but to close her eyes and let Lin Nan hug her tightly.

After a while, everyone finally came back to their senses, and they all felt that Lin Nan was too rude and out of shape, but Lin Nan made even more rude and out of shape.

I saw Lin Nan slowly let go of Cai Yan, tilted his head, and pasted it towards Cai Yan's little face.

Seeing Lin Nan's move, everyone almost exclaimed, and they covered their mouths unconsciously, for fear that their teeth would fall out, but Cai Yan almost fainted, her brain was blank, and she lost her strength to resist, but she still had consciousness, and her perception was that she felt that she was having difficulty breathing, and she was about to suffocate.

Long.

Cai Yan finally didn't faint, but his body shook a little, and his face was as red as a burning cloud in the sky.

And everyone's heartbeat finally calmed down, and everyone didn't know what to say, because Lin Nan's audacity completely exceeded their psychological acceptance.

Everyone didn't speak, but Lin Nan did.

I saw Lin Nan holding Cai Yan's shoulder and saying affectionately: "Wait for me, wait for me to come back and marry you." ”

After speaking, Lin Nan walked in front of Cai Yong, bowed deeply to Cai Yong and said, "The son-in-law is gone, take care of your father-in-law." ”

As soon as he turned around, Lin Nan beckoned Zhao Yun and the others to leave.

Although everyone has not yet come to their senses, there is still a reaction. So, he hurriedly said goodbye to Cai Yong and walked out of the gate of Cai's mansion like water.

Seeing Lin Nan's back disappear outside the door, Cai Yan finally couldn't help it and sobbed.

returned to his mansion, packed his things, said goodbye to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and Lin Nan and his party left Luoyang City.

Outside the city gate, Lin Nan smiled slightly, pointed to the city gate and said to everyone: "I have been here, and I have left, but one day, I will come again." ”
