Liu Xian can indeed understand Kong Rong's concerns.

Some things can't be explained clearly in a few words.

Anyway, this Plains Mansion is indeed a relatively special existence. This is the hometown of the first emperor, the hometown of the first emperor. So, speaking of which, nature is extremely noble and glorious.

However, most people know that the first emperor has no queen, but now the saint is the bloodline of another Han family, and this dynasty is a son of heaven and a courtier, and this plain palace is actually not so respectful.

Especially for some political reasons, this court will definitely downplay the influence of the Plains Palace, intentionally or unintentionally. Under normal circumstances, they will adopt an attitude of not provoking and not being close.

In reality, this Han royal family has no queen, basically, it is equivalent to waiting for Ma Guiren for a hundred years, and this plain palace will naturally disappear in the long river of history.

Among them, there are still some people who know the inside story, and those who know how to speculate on the holy will will understand very well that today's saint will never let this Han royal family have a future again.

Now that this noble man suddenly recognized a righteous son, this can be imagined, and the court will definitely know soon. This so-called righteous son, in fact, doesn't know when he will die inexplicably.

At this time, Ma Guiren wants to propose marriage for this righteous son? I'm afraid that we have to consider the consequences of forming an in-law relationship with the Plains Palace.

Of course, this is limited to some real famous families, and only to some upper-class figures in the world who have a certain political vision will see through. If it is an ordinary local wealthy family or a large family, they are naturally eager to tie up the plain palace, and if Ma Guiren proposes to those ordinary big families, they will definitely agree as soon as possible.

But on the contrary, this Kong Rong has just returned home from illness in the imperial court, and he knows some of the situation.

Let's just say that. If Liu Xian is just Ma Guiren's newly recognized son, then he definitely doesn't need to think about it, and he has already refused at the beginning.

The Confucian family is indeed a family of scholars, and in terms of prestige, it is no worse than the plain palace, and even more respected by the world.

A righteous son of the plain palace that came out of nowhere? A person of unknown origin, Kong Rong really wouldn't consider any marriage.

However, when he was in the imperial court, he did just see some pieces of music reported to the imperial court from Jizhou, and saw some things about Liu Xian. This way through Jizhou, naturally I also heard a lot about Liu Xian. In other words, he already has a certain impression of Liu Xian. knows that there is such a person as Liu Xian. and also knew that Liu Xian himself was a relative of the Han family. If he comes, this Liu Xian is not a person of unknown origin. Coupled with the relationship between the Plains Palace, Kong Rong naturally had to think about whether this was a matter of marrying the Plains Palace.

Therefore, now that Cai Yong told Liu Xian that Kong Rong had some concerns, Liu Xian's heart understood what Kong Rong was worried about.

However, Liu Xian didn't take Kong Rong's concerns to heart, and said to Cai Yong at this time: "Lord Cai, in fact, Master Kong's concerns are his concerns, and I won't take them to heart. I'll be honest too, if Master Kong refuses because of those concerns, it's just right, because...... What I like is indeed Miss Cai Yan, for Miss Kong, hehe......"

Liu Xian smiled, this is naturally not good to say anything that is not very nice to others in front of Cai Yong.

But Cai Yong seemed to ask casually: "Oh? Do you like Yan'er? But the old man sees that Miss Kong is more innocent, and she also looks like jade bones and ice muscles, and the old man's Yan'er is not as bright and beautiful as her. Why did you fall in love with my Yan'er? ”

Cai Yong went north to avoid trouble this time, and indeed by the way, he wanted to find a good in-law for his daughter and marry this daughter. In this way, this daughter can avoid the pain of wandering around with her. Cai Yong didn't know when he would end his exile now, and he could only hide for a day if the Holy Lord did not issue a pardon or summon him back to Beijing.

For this Liu Xian, he was satisfied, as for the various circumstances behind the Plains Palace, he didn't have as many worries as Kong Rong. After all, he himself is an exile, where is there so many ideas? Although the Plains Mansion is a little delicate, under normal circumstances, it is safe, and no one dares to provoke or move. Even if it is a saint today, he will not do anything to the plain palace just because Ma Guiren has confessed a righteous son. After all, the saints also need fame today. His throne belongs to this royal family, and now that he has been in power for more than ten years, why bother with the only remaining woman in this branch?

Besides, now that the Holy One is afraid, he won't pay attention to these things at all. To put it mildly, today's saint is not the sharp, energetic, and relatively wise saint who was full of energy, full of energy, and relatively wise after ascending the throne earlier. Today's emperor is just poor and extravagant, and only trusts some traitorous saints.

Now that the imperial court is in a state of decline, the dynasty is sluggish, and the scourge of the yellow turban, it is impossible for the court to pay attention to the affairs of the plain palace.

Therefore, Cai Yong really doesn't have too many worries about marrying the Plains Palace.

But this is his daughter after all, and in his heart, he really hopes that his daughter can marry a good family and have a husband who really loves her and respects her.

This Liu Xian keeps saying that he likes his daughter, where does this like? Cai Yong is a person from the past and has seen a lot in his life. He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was once a romantic figure. Even if Yan'er is his daughter, he can objectively see that in terms of appearance, Miss Kong Rong of the Kong family is indeed slightly better than her own daughter, and when the two daughters stand together, Miss Kong is indeed more bright.

He wanted to know why Liu Xian said that he would like his daughter, but he didn't like Miss Kong.

Liu Xian didn't know that Cai Yong would think so much in his heart, and he also said casually: "Lord Cai, as the so-called marrying a wife and seeking talent, what I like is Miss Cai Yan's inner beauty, she is more elegant, intellectual, and sensible. If I can marry Miss Cai, she will definitely be a good helper. Besides, turnip greens, each has its own love, and it can be said that each flower has its own eyes, in my eyes, that is, in the eyes of a lover, Miss Cai Yan is the best and most suitable for me. What's more, she is also the most beautiful in my heart. ”

"What is in the eyes of a lover? Hmm......" Cai Yong nodded slightly.

"If Miss Kong is a flower in a greenhouse, then Miss Cai is a plum blossom in winter. Such a woman can be respected and loved. ”

"Haha, you're just a kid, what do you know about love?" Cai Yong was very happy to be talked about by Liu Xian, don't say it, although Liu Xian said it very slippery, but Cai Yong didn't think that Liu Xian, who was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, knew anything about love.

But when Liu Xian said this, he was really happy in his heart, because Liu Xian praised his daughter.

For this daughter, Cai Yong also loves it from the bottom of his heart. After all, he has followed him all over the world since he was a child, wandering everywhere, and he is very sensible when he is a child. Especially after his wife went, Yan'er, the girl, can also be said to be taken care of by this sister.

"Liu Xianxian's nephew, let's put it this way, if Ma Guiren proposed to the old man first, the old man probably agreed to your relationship with Yan'er without saying a word."

Cai Yong put away his smile at this time, sank his face, and said to Liu Xian: "Because the old man has heard of your deeds, you have been able to rescue tens of thousands of people in Yangshi County, which in itself is amazing and admirable." However, Ma Guiren fell in love with Miss Kong first and proposed marriage to Kong Rong first. So ......"

"Lord Cai, don't be busy refusing yet." When Liu Xian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, afraid that Cai Yong would reject him.

"No, no, the old man didn't refuse, but said, it depends on Kong Wenju's meaning, if he rejects your proposal to the Plains Palace, then the old man has nothing to say, and he is not afraid of being laughed at, so he can promise you and Yan'er's relationship. But what if Kong Wenju agreed? Then you can only marry Miss Kong. I can't compete with my friends for a son-in-law, can I? Cai Yong said to Liu Xian very seriously: "So, don't worry about your matter with Yan'er, isn't Ma Guiren talking to Kong Wenju about this now?" Let's just wait. ”

"This, this, well." Liu Xian couldn't help blushing a little when he heard Cai Yong's meaning, it turned out that Cai Yong didn't want to reject himself.

But Liu Xian couldn't help but admire Cai Yong a little, because he found that Cai Yong's cultivation and mind were indeed very broad.

Think about it, the two of them came to the Plains Mansion with their daughters, and as a result, Ma Guiren fell in love with Miss Kong, and now he fell in love with his daughter. If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely have some ideas.

For example, you will think, what do you mean by this in the Plains Palace? Do you look down on my Cai family? Do you treat my Cai family's daughter as a spare tire?

However, Cai Yong doesn't seem to have those thoughts at all. These are also what Liu Xian admires about him.

Now that Cai Yong said so, Liu Xian naturally couldn't force him anymore and let him agree immediately.

And Liu Xian came to see Cai Yong, not just to propose marriage.

Liu Xian felt that it was time to talk to Cai Yong now.

Liu Xian thought of the wording and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, and we'll talk about it after my righteous mother talks to Master Kong Rong." Also, Lord Cai, I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with. ”

"Oh? Is there anything you need me to help with? Cai Yong looked at Liu Xian strangely, he really didn't know what Liu Xian needed to help him with, and what he could help Liu Xian.

Liu Xian has long had a saying, Cai Yong is a great Confucian, writer and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It's just that now he is in exile, and it is he who is in the middle of it. In such a situation, what excuse do you use to keep him and let him work for him?

One thing, Liu Xian is very clear, Cai Yong is loyal to the Han Dynasty, even if he is exiled by the current saint, but he has no complaints, and he still thinks that one day, the emperor can understand him and can call him back to the court.

In other words, for the time being, it is absolutely impossible for Cai Yong to worship himself as the Lord like ordinary people.

There are some people who cannot be made to confess their Lord, no matter how they say it. At the very least, they won't really work for themselves until the time comes. For example, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and so on, these upright Hanchens.

But Liu Xian has never cared too much about whether others worship him as his lord.

Liu Xian knew that in fact, it didn't matter if they worshiped or not, as long as they could use it for themselves, even if they could be used by themselves. Because everything, when things are decided later, then everything will fall into place.

Liu Xian pondered for a while, and said to Cai Yong: "Lord Cai, that's the case, you also said just now, I have helped tens of thousands of people in the Yang family. But there are some situations, I think you have seen it with your own eyes, and the situation of the people in Jizhou is not good now. After this year's Yellow Turban disaster, the people of Jizhou today are in ruins. The tens of thousands of people in Yang's County don't just give them a little porridge and let them hang their lives. We have to let them resume production, and we have to let them return to the normal order of life in the past. Of course, all of this has to be governed by the government and guide the people. ”

"That's right, the Yellow Turban disaster has afflicted the people of the world, and at this time, if these suffering people want to resume normal production and life, I am afraid they really need the governance of the government." Cai Yong agreed with Liu Xian's statement.

"Master Cai, I, Liu Xian, have always felt that there are too few of us Han literate people. If we want to revitalize, we have to rely on more people like Cai Daren who are rich and rich, and those who have knowledge can learn. Therefore, I opened a college in Yangshi County, and my Liufu College is free to teach to all the children of the common people. I want more people from poor families to have the opportunity to read and write, and I want more students to become talents, succeed in their studies, and serve their families and countries. ”

"Oh? You also opened a college in Yangshi County? Or is it free? Cai Yong was really surprised, because opening an academy is not a trivial matter.

"Yes, it is true that the academy has been opened." Liu Xian nodded, then looked at Cai Yong and said, "Master Cai, this academy has been opened, but there is no one with real profound knowledge to teach his studies. So, I want to ask Lord Cai for a favor, please ask Lord Cai to be the dean of this college, I wonder if Lord Cai can help with this? ”

"You want the old man to be the dean of this academy? This...... No, no, no. ”

"Why not? Lord Cai is a great Confucian today, in terms of knowledge, who can compare with you, Lord Cai? It's fitting that you're the dean of this college. ”

"This ...... The old man is saying that the old man is now a guilty person, an exiled person. Serving as the dean of your Liu Mansion College will bring wreak havoc for your college. It's definitely not going to work. ”

As soon as Liu Xian heard it, he knew that there was a play.

"Master Cai, you actually know about these situations below. But you don't have to worry. I'm not afraid, besides, Lord Cai, please think about it, this Liu Mansion Academy, but I, the Han clan member, and the Plains Mansion will also support it, I think, even the imperial court will acquiesce and will not be embarrassed. What else are you worried about? As for Lord Cai...... You're going north this time to avoid trouble, right? I guess it should be some of Cai's former political enemies, right? If so, please rest assured, I don't dare to say anything else, but I am still sure that I will keep Lord Cai's family safe. ”

"You—Can you guess the old man's situation?"

Cai Yong was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Xian to know so much about his situation.
