Hearing that Cai Yong finally asked the key question, Cai Wenji and Xiaomei, who were standing outside the window, were secretly nervous, and their ears were erected.

Wei Zhongdao's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and Cai Yong asked suspiciously, "Father-in-law, who did you listen to about this?" ”

Cai Yong's heart struck, this heroic and military young man in front of him, could it be that he really ptysed up blood every day? Will he die soon?

I didn't dare to think about it, and said, "I overheard someone say, so you don't have to ask, I also care about you." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern, I do have hemoptysis, when I was a child, I couldn't practice the law, I went crazy, I hurt my heart, and I would cough up blood every day. But it doesn't matter, after my hard work and the treatment of good doctors, this problem has been greatly reduced, the blood that I spit out before is rich in color, but now the blood I spit out is only a little blood, and I am confident that I will be able to fully recover in a year. Wei Zhongdao said, "Uncle, you don't have to worry at all, it's normal for us martial arts practitioners to have some physical problems, but it is undeniable that our martial arts practitioners have a very long lifespan, much longer than ordinary people, and it is very common for us to live to be two hundred years old." ”

"That's good, that's good, you still try your best to go back to Hedong and continue to be treated by good doctors, and you can't be careless." Cai Yong said sternly.

Now he believes most of Zhang Dong's words, Wei Zhongdao's vomiting of blood must be very secret, no one knows, otherwise he asked this question just now, Wei Zhongdao would not be so surprised, but Zhang Dong actually used Mai Shen to calculate it, it can be seen that Zhang Dong's magic, now Wei Zhongdao said that his condition was fine, which did not make him feel relieved at all, but became more nervous, urging Wei Zhongdao to return to Hedong, although he hoped that he would be cured well, but more because he was afraid that this guy would die in his home.

"Father-in-law, it's really okay, and I have good medicine with me." Wei Zhongdao patted his chest and said, "I plan to stay in Chang'an for a few months, wait for my father-in-law to recover, and then take Wen Ji back to Hedong to get married." ”

Cai Yong's complexion changed slightly, and he said: "Zhongdao, you and Wen Ji are not married yet, you can live in my house for a few days, but it is against etiquette to live for a few months or half a year, so I hope you go back to Hedong, otherwise you have to buy a mansion in Chang'an." ”

"My father-in-law is right, there is no need to buy the mansion, and our Wei family also has an industry in Chang'an." Wei Zhongdao book. At this time, he was already suspicious, and always felt that Cai Yong was not as enthusiastic as before, and Cai Yong's attitude was too strange, and he didn't want him to live in Cai's mansion? What's going on?

After dinner.

Wei Zhongdao, who was placed in the guest room, said to a maidservant, "Please go and report to the young lady, Wei Zhongdao asks to see you." ”

The maidservant said yes and walked out, and soon she came in again and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, but Miss is already resting." ”

Wei Zhongdao's face showed a puzzled color, he came to Cai's mansion once last year, although he didn't see Cai Wenji, but he talked with her through the curtain for a while, her beautiful voice and that shy tone, to this day he is still unforgettable, it is still early to rest, why did she rest, is it that she doesn't want to see him?

Thinking of Cai Yong's previous strange attitude, he had a sudden break in his heart, and secretly became nervous, could it be that the Cai family wanted to regret marriage, right?

He waved his hand to let the maid out, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and slipped out of the door like a ghost, first coming to the window of Cai Wenji's boudoir and listening carefully.

Cai Wenji was sitting at the desk in the boudoir, looking at the beautiful peach blossom painting drawn by Zhang Dong in a daze, and gently reciting in her mouth: "In this door this year, the peach blossoms on the human face are red. Where will the face be next year, the peach blossoms will still be smiling in the spring breeze. ”

"Miss, the paintings drawn by Zhang Gongzi are really beautiful, the peach trees and peach blossoms are exactly the same as the real ones, and your portraits are exactly the same as your real people, there is no difference, his painting level seems to be higher than that of Miss." Xiaomei, who was standing on the side, was obsessed with the beautiful picture and whispered.

"Xiaomei, don't compare me with Zhang Gongzi, his painting level is not higher than mine, but much higher, I am a firefly, he is the moon." Cai Wenji said with admiration, "His piano skills and talent are the same, and I am far behind." ”

"But, Miss, you sing more than he books.

Cai Wenji smiled dumbly and said, "I am a girl, and I have an innate advantage in my voice, of course I sing better than him." ”

"If he comes to play the piano and you come to sing, it's a match made in heaven." Xiaomei said.

"A match made in heaven?" Cai Wenji was gloomy and speechless for a long time.

"Miss, since Wei Zhongdao really has hemoptysis, what Zhang Gongzi said must be true. A year later, the matter will come to light, you are also free, and you may not be able to be with Zhang Gongzi. Xiaomei said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cai Wenji scolded Xiaomei, and then let out a long sigh. Obviously, she couldn't bear to see Wei Zhongdao, a young man in his prime, both civil and military, die silently.

"Miss, you still have to meet Wei Gongzi tomorrow, send him out as much as possible, so that he doesn't wander around the mansion every day, the master is pretending to be sick, once he makes a flaw, then all his efforts will be wasted, and Zhang Gongzi's clever plan will not work." Xiaomei said worriedly.

"Well, I will meet him tomorrow morning, and ask him to go back to Hedong quickly, whether it is true or not, his current treatment is the most important thing." Cai Wenji said.

"Zhang Gongzi? Father-in-law is actually faking illness? Is the purpose to postpone the marriage? ”

Wei Zhongdao's face turned iron-blue, trembling with anger, and he was so angry that he wanted to rush in now and ask for a clear understanding, but he still forcibly endured it.

He returned to the room, thought for a long time, called a maidservant, and asked coldly, "Who is Zhang Gongzi?" Why did the lord pretend to be sick? ”

"Uncle, I don't know, I really don't know." The maidservant suddenly lost her face.

"Zhang Gongzi is a talented man, he is very good at piano skills, calligraphy, and painting, and a few days ago he painted a portrait of the young lady leaning on a peach tree, that is, he had a bad idea to postpone the wedding." When Wei Zhongdao said this, a large piece of silver appeared in his hand, and he tempted to say, "Since I already know most of it, you just need to talk about some details, and then this piece of silver is yours." ”

The maidservant hesitated for a moment, then gave in, took the silver, and told what she knew, and then withdrew with a little trepidation.

A sneer appeared on Wei Zhongdao's face, Zhang Dong? Very good, a scholar from overseas with five subordinates dared to beat his fiancée Cai Wenji's idea, and he actually used tricks step by step to gain the trust of the Cai family's father and daughter, and used such a clumsy plan to postpone the marriage period, if he succeeded, there is a year of time, I don't know what other tricks, how can I let him get his wish?

He thought for a moment, then walked out the door, sneaked outside Cai Yong's room, and waited quietly.

The night was getting darker, and the hour was passing quickly.

Cai's mansion was quiet, without any sound, and it seemed that even the little insects who liked the hustle and bustle in the past were sleeping.

Cai Yong slowly got out of bed and walked back and forth in the room.

After lying in bed for a day, my whole body was itchy, my bones were numb, and I couldn't lie down anymore.

Perhaps feeling depressed, he opened the door, looked in, and found no one or a sound, so he walked out the door and walked outside the door, breathing deeply.

"Walking late at night, my father-in-law is so interested, and my son-in-law is polite."

Wei Zhongdao suddenly jumped out of the corner and gave Cai Yong a deep salute.

Cai Yong was stunned like a fool, and secretly shouted that it was bad, he pretended to be sick and was broken by Wei Zhongdao, what should I do?

"Father-in-law, your leg is actually not broken, but it was twisted, which is why you recovered so quickly." Zhongsun Dao said coldly, "Then there is no need to postpone the marriage, right?" ”

"To postpone, it has to be postponed." Cai Yong said.

"Why? Please give the son-in-law a reason. Zhongsun Dao's face was full of anger and shouted loudly.

"Why?" Beads of sweat appeared on Cai Yong's forehead, and for a while, where could he find a reason?

Zhongsun Dao said angrily: "My Wei family is not an ordinary gate valve, and my Zhongsun Dao also thinks that he is not a mediocre talent, and his thesis is not weaker than that of other young junjies. Father-in-law, you are a righteous gentleman with an upright personality, that mysterious Zhang Gongzi is definitely a remnant of the Yellow Turban, knows some demon methods, and deceived you and Wen Ji, I heard that he was still outside the south gate and did not leave, so I will take a thousand soldiers to kill him. ”

"I'll go to Hedong with you tomorrow, but please don't mess around."

Cai Wenji walked out of the boudoir at some point, and said coldly to Zhongsun Dao.

"What if I have to kill him?" Zhongsun Dao was happy and angry, happy that Cai Wenji agreed to go to Hedong with him to get married, and angry that she did this to save the man's life.

"Zhang Gongzi is not a remnant of the Yellow Turban, he is a talented man, I admire his talent, and he has no personal relationship, do you think he should be killed? Are you such a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong? Cai Wenji asked.

"He bewitched you and your father-in-law, let your father-in-law pretend to be sick, and postpone the marriage, which shows that he has ill intentions, is such a person just a genius? How can I not kill him without preventing him? Wei Zhongdao said murderously.

"Whether you believe it or not, Daddy did break his leg this time, and he healed it with miraculous means, don't be ungrateful." Cai Wenji said.

"I don't believe there is such a demon in the world! Even if there is, it proves more and more that he is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, and I will kill this person. Zhongsun Dao said.

"If you insist on going your own way, then we will cut it in two." Cai Wenji's face was full of determination.

"Father-in-law, you, she still said that she had no personal relationship with that demon?" Zhongsun Dao was so angry that he trembled, and Cai Yong, who had a difficult face, said.

"Wen Ji and Zhang Gongzi have no personal relationship, Zhang Gongzi is not a demon, let alone a yellow turban remnant, I will say all I have to say." Cai Yong said.

"Good, good, good, even if he's not a demon, he's not a Yellow Turban remnant! This kind of scholar who only knows how to talk on paper is like an ant to me. What's the harm in letting him live? Zhongsun was unforgiving, and said loudly, "The moonlight is very good tonight, so let's leave for Hedong now!" ”
