Wu County, Wu County, in front of Gu's mansion.

Departing from Luoyang in May, Ma Yue finally took Cai Yan here in early September.

In the second year of the first peace, most of it passed like this.

Ma Yue drove the carriage with Cai Yan, turned over and walked to the doorman and said, "This little brother, is this the mansion of the Gu family of Wu County?" Can the son be called Gu Yong? ”

Jia Ding looked at Ma Yue's appearance, the nine-foot giant man was dressed in a short linen dress worn by a peasant, and the muscles and scars on his exposed arms were intertwined. With a short knife and a small bronze dagger tied around his waist, a pale scar on his left eye, and his long hair without a crown tied up in a style he had never seen before, he spoke a non-standard Luoyang official dialect......

Where did this man come from?

"This is the Gu family, I am afraid that the name of my family's Yuan Si Gongzi is not something that a vulgar person like you can call directly, Your Excellency does not seem to be a good family, but I am afraid that it has nothing to do with my Gu family."

In the eyes of the family, Ma Yue's clothes, appearance, and social status seem to be not as high as his own slave. What's more, this appearance is not a good kind at first glance.

Hearing Jia Ding's admission, Ma Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he knew that he hadn't taken the wrong path, and he didn't mind the unspoken contempt for him.

Along the way, he has seen too many cold eyes.

"Yan'er, we're here, this is Gu Mansion!"

Ma Yue said a word to Cai Yan, turned his head and said to the family: "Is the Confucian Cai Bojiao in the mansion?" ”

Jia Ding nodded, then frowned and felt that Ma Yue was too wide, pointed to the car parked at the door and said, "See?" That's the car of the Yan family of Wu County, there are distinguished guests in the house today, if you have something to visit, please come back another day. ”

"Hey, guest." Ma Yue is a little angry, what Wu Jun Yan Clan, even if it is the Gu Clan, it is just a big clan in this poor and remote country, if it is the Runan Yuan Clan, Ma Yue really doesn't know what distinguished guests can be here.

He didn't have a domineering temperament, but he didn't need to talk about the hardships and dangers of traveling thousands of miles to get there, but when he came to the door, he was blocked by some distinguished guests, which made him a little annoyed.

"It's okay, little brother is still bothering you to go and report that Ma Yue, the former captain of the Northern Army, escorted Mr. Cai's daughter and asked to enter the house."

"Former ...... Former captain of Changshui? No matter how lonely and unheard of the family is, they know how big the official position of the captain of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty is, and hurriedly said: "Then, then you wait a while, and Rong Xiao will go and report." ”

With that, the man ran in.

Cai Yan looked at the back of the family member in the carriage and smiled with his mouth covered, and said to Ma Yue: "It turns out that you will also bully others." ”

"What do you call a bully?" Ma Yue hugged his arms and smiled: "It's just to tell the truth, I don't know which other distinguished guest is more expensive than us." ”

"You are expensive, no one in the world is as expensive as you Ma Jun."

"How so?" Ma Yue smiled: "Yan'er is much more expensive than me, you see." As he spoke, Ma Yue deliberately showed off the half-sleeved linen clothes he was wearing.

Cai Yan covered his mouth and was happy, when he first arrived in Yuhang County, Wu County, Ma Yue specially asked someone to use the remaining money to buy a women's dress for Cai Yan, he was a rough man and didn't care about dressing up, but how could Cai Yan see people with the atmosphere of being dusty all the way?

"Ugh." Ma Yue turned around like a treasure to show off the sackcloth on his body, but Cai Yan, who should have been smiling, sighed.

Ma Yue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Yan'er, why are you sighing?" ”

Cai Yan pursed his lips, and said with a look of pity on his face: "I always felt that the road was too far away, and there were many hardships along the way. Approaching the door, alas. ”

"Will you go back to Luoyang soon?"

"Of course I want to go back, at that time, I resigned just to send the teacher to Youzhou and then send you to see Mr. Cai, now that the two things are almost done, I should go back in a few days...... Yan'er can't bear me? ”

"Phew." Cai Yan didn't turn his head and ignored him, but the flush on his face seemed to be said by Ma Yue.

"Hey, hey." Ma Yue smiled: "Actually, the days ahead are still long, if you want to, we can see you every day." ”

"Why do you see you every day, is it possible that I will go back to Luoyang with you again? No, no, it's hard to see my father, that's too unfilial. ”

"It's not...... I mean. Ma Yue paused, looked directly at Cai Yan and said, "I mean, I can propose to Mr. Cai, how much do you think Mr. Cai is likely to agree?" ”

"Huh?"

Cai Yan paused for a moment, and then lowered his head and said nothing, but the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disappear, but had a very sweet feeling.

"Then, then you try ......"

In the past few months, Cai Yan has learned more about Ma Yue, and the original disgust is long gone, and it is more of a relationship that depends on each other and has never been in the lives of the two.

Whether it is the deep mountains and Daze, or the scenery of Taihu Lake. Whether to flee or sleep in the open.

Ma Yue only has Cai Yan, and Cai Yan only has Ma Yue.

The bravery of facing the officials and bandits, the hard support all the way, the meticulous care when the wind is cold, and the touching of giving up a gorgeous dress and green ribbon.

This kind has long been deeply seared into the heart of a seventeen-year-old girl.

Maybe this figure is not a hero of the world, but he is indeed a man worth relying on.

"Good! I will definitely make it clear to Mr. Cai! The gentleman will definitely agree to come down! ”

With Cai Yan's acquiescence, Ma Yue actually felt happier than when he first served as the captain of the two thousand stones, is there anything in this world that is happier than the person you like is also in your heart?

From beginning to end, Ma Yue never felt that he was a lucky person, and everything he got had to risk his life again and again to barely get some rewards, whether it was a career or an opportunity, every time it was so hard-won.

But it is precisely because of this hard-won that I have greater joy when I get it.

At this moment, the door of the Gu Mansion was pushed open with a creaking sound, and the neatly dressed Cai Yong staggered out, and there were several old and young people behind him.

"Yan'er! You're finally here. ”

"Father!"

Finally seeing his longing daughter, Cai Yong couldn't help but cry, and Cai Yan suddenly turned into a pear blossom crying in Cai Yan's arms.

Ma Yue stood by and looked at the reunited father and daughter, and then finally felt that the hardships and dangers of his trip were worth everything.

Behind Cai Yong, Ma Yue saw Gu Yong, who he hadn't seen for many years, Gu Yong was wearing an official uniform at this time, and he was obviously already the head of a county. There were several middle-aged people and two young people beside Gu Yong, and Ma Yue didn't know him.

After a while, Cai Yong wiped away the tears on his face, and then bowed his hand to everyone, and then thanked Ma Yue: "The old man thanks San Lang, the kindness back then was too late to reciprocate, and now he is tired of San Lang again, thank you." ”

"Sir can't help it, since the student is the teacher's disciple, all this is within the bounds of the matter, and the sir must not do this, wouldn't it be tormenting the student."

Gu Yong saw that the two of them pushed and pushed, so he said with a smile: "The younger brother has seen Brother Ma, and it is even more powerful if I haven't seen Brother Ma for many years. ”

"Okay, okay."

Saying that, his own servants took away Ma Yue's inferior carriage, and Ma Yue and the others followed Gu Yong into the mansion together.
