Chapter 296: Direct Proposal

Cai Yong and Kong Rong had just returned to the Plains Palace from outside, and they were simple and simple.

After everyone saw each other, Ma Guiren proposed to let them wash up first, and then set up a banquet to entertain them in the evening.

Naturally, they had no opinion, and returned to the residence that Ma Gui had arranged for them in the Plains Palace.

When they came to the Plains Palace, Ma Guiren specially asked the people below to arrange for them to be separated, and they lived in a courtyard not far from each other but separated.

After all, they all have families, so it makes sense for them to have a separate place to live.

At that time, Ma Guiren also thought that if they were separated like this, if they wanted to propose to one of them, they could talk better, otherwise, everyone would be together, and it would be a little inconvenient to speak.

No, this also made it convenient for Ma Guiren and Liu Xian to talk to Kong Rong and Cai Yong separately.

Ma Guiren asked her personal maid and Xiaojing to accompany Yi Ji, Kong Xue, and the Cai family sisters, so she glanced at Liu Xian and asked Liu Xian to go with her to Cai and Kong to have a residence.

Liu Xianyi will, he also thinks that some things are better to communicate with them separately. It doesn't have to be too embarrassing.

In particular, Liu Xian thinks that Kong Rong and Cai Yong, although they know each other and are even friends, many concepts should be different.

This, Liu Xian can also see that Kong Rong seems to be more reserved and silent than Cai Yong, he should have a stronger personal opinion, or have his own beliefs.

As for Cai Yong, it is estimated that he has gone through too many twists and turns, so he looks more open-minded and cheerful.

Kong Rong was indeed a prince in history, although he was indeed a good person, but in his heart, there must be something called ambition. Whatever the reason, he seems to be a little unwilling to accept the status quo of the Kong family, and he is not too willing to be just a family reputation.

However, it is also a pity that in history, Kong Rong's forces in Beihai were destroyed at the beginning, and he had to vote for Cao Cao, and finally died in the hands of Cao Cao.

Liu Xian didn't want to think about these for the time being, he was just thinking about how to talk to Cai Yong, so that Cai Yong could stay and work for him, and there was also a family affair with Cai Yan, Liu Xian thought about how to get Cai Yong to agree.

"Xian'er, are you sure? If you are sure, you can go in and talk to Master Cai, and I will go here and talk to Kong Rong. Ma Guiren took Liu Xian to an independent small courtyard on the side of the front mansion of the Plains Palace, and said to Liu Xian.

"Let's not talk about what to grasp, we need to talk to him about it before we know." Liu Xian is not too sure, after all, he is not very familiar with Cai Yong, and everything about his cognition comes from some historical records of him.

"Well, let's talk about it first." Ma Guiren paused for a moment, didn't say anything more, pointed to the side and said, "Then I'll go and talk to Kong Rong privately first, and you can go too." ”

"Well, uncle, there are some things that we are not afraid to say honestly, and we don't have to worry about whether Master Kong will be angry or something because of these things. Our Plains Mansion has never been afraid of the wrath of others. Liu Xian thought about it and reminded Ma Guiren.

In any case, Ma Guiren is much more noble than Kong Rong in terms of identity, although this is just a false name and has no actual authority. But Liu Xian didn't want Ma Guiren to talk to Kong Rong about any grievances he would have when he and Kong Xue's family affairs. If it is successful, if it is not achieved, Liu Xian really doesn't think there will be anything.

"Uncle Niang has a plan in her heart." Ma Guiren nodded slightly, and walked towards the courtyard where Kong Rong lived.

After Liu Xian saw Ma Guiren enter, he also walked into Cai Yong's courtyard.

After entering, what made Liu Xian feel strange was that the courtyard was very quiet, and there were no people.

Cai Yong with his family, Cai Yan and Cai Yan. According to Liu Xian's thoughts, Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world no matter what he says, even if he falls again, there will be people around him to serve. And when he arrived at his own plain palace, even if Cai Yong didn't bring his servants with him, Ma Guiren should have arranged some subordinates to call him.

But this courtyard was quiet, and there was no one under it.

Liu Xian took a look and walked directly into the hall of the main house in the courtyard.

After entering, I saw Cai Yong busy bringing general water, and then exhaled the air conditioner, holding a face cloth and washing his face.

His somewhat thin and old face, I don't know if it was because he had washed his face with cold water, and it was a little red.

He didn't notice Liu Xian's entry at this time. Although he was so cold that he shrunk his hand and picked up the cold wet towel, he was still humming a tune on his lips, as if he was very leisurely and complacent.

"Ahem!"

Liu Xian coughed at this time.

With a snap, the wet towel that Cai Yong pinched with his two fingers fell back into the cold water of the wooden plate, splashing some water and wetting his corset.

"Lord Cai, it's smelly, it didn't scare you, did it?" Liu Xian stepped forward and saluted Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was obviously surprised by Liu Xian's arrival, after all, he had just met in the hall of the Plains Palace. And Ma Guiren also said that he and Kong Rong would be entertained with a banquet in a while, and they would meet soon, but why did Liu Xian, the young master of this plain palace, rush to see him at this time?

Cai Yong glared and said in surprise: "Young Master Liu Xian? Heh, you really scared me, you're here ......"

Liu Xian said to him respectfully: "Master Cai, I came here to talk to you about some private matters, and I think it would be better to talk to you in private, so I can't wait and come to see you in private." But ......"

Liu Xian pointed to the surroundings of the courtyard and said, "Lord Cai, Miss Cai Yan has talked to me about it, you have encountered some trouble in Wudi, and then you will go north to avoid trouble, visit some friends by the way, and want to solve some private matters." But apart from Cai Yan and Cai Yan, are there no attendants of your Cai family? You're the only one in this courtyard? ”

"Haha, virtuous nephew, don't you know, don't look at me Cai Yong's reputation, but now it is indeed the old man and his two daughters who depend on each other for their lives. As for the squire's subordinates...... Well, that's all in the past. Let's put it this way, think about it, the old man is a person who has been exiled today, and the Cai family has already been raided, what other servants are there? ”

"Huh? So that's the case, I'm sorry, I haven't asked Miss Cai Yan about this, so I don't know. Liu Xian suddenly realized, quickly apologized, and then Liu Xian sighed again and said: "Alas, in this case, it is really bitter for Lord Cai and the two young ladies." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, isn't the old man coming over the same? Seriously, the old man really has to thank many friends for the help he gave me, otherwise, the old man may have problems in life. No, this time I came here, and I was also indebted to the warm hospitality of Ma Guiren. It's a pity that the old man is alone and has nothing to repay. ”

Lord Cai said seriously. This is also the negligence of our Plains Palace, and we didn't arrange some people to call Lord Cai, there was not even a person who served tea and water, and no one prepared some hot water for Lord Cai. Liu Xian really felt a little sluggish, a little reluctant.

"Don't don't, don't say that, Ma Guiren has already made arrangements, but the old man is really not used to that, so he let them withdraw. Besides, the old man is not here these days. Well, the main thing is that over the years, I have been used to doing it myself. Don't look at the old man's more than fifty, but my body is really tough. The things that can be done by oneself and the activities of oneself are also fulfilling in this day. Cai Yong waved his hand again and again, telling Liu Xian not to care about these things.

"Okay, but this won't work, since you have arrived at my Plains Palace, then you can't snub Lord Cai." Liu Xian said sincerely: "After a while, I will ask Yiniang to send a few people." ”

"Let's talk about that, huh...... Please sit down, nephew, come and talk to me? ”

Cai Yong had already washed his face while talking, wiped his hands on his robe, and motioned for Liu Xian to sit down and speak.

This was Liu Xian's home field, so he was naturally not polite, and sat cross-legged on a cushion behind a few short days at will, and then said to Cai Yong with a calm face: "Lord Cai, then I'll say it straight, although I, Liu Xian, am young, but I like to be straightforward when I do things for others." ”

"Haha, yes, young man, you should be blunt. Go ahead. Cai Yong said disapprerovingly.

"Okay, then please don't be surprised by Lord Cai first." Liu Xian hugged Cai Yong with a fist, and said directly: "Lord Cai, I came to see you in such a hurry this time, in fact, I just want you to fulfill me." ”

"Fulfill you? What is it that fulfills you? Cai Yong was a little stunned, and he didn't know what Liu Xian said for a while.

Liu Xian respectfully hugged his fist at him again and said, "Lord Cai, I, I like Miss Cai Yan and want to marry her, so I want to ask Lord Cai to fulfill it." Well, of course, it might be better to have someone else mention it. But I think it's more obvious that I am more sincere when I mention it myself. Also, there is no preparation for this, not even a small gift, which is really rude. But please rest assured, Lord Cai, I am sincere to Miss Cai Yan, and I will not fail her in this life, my love for Miss Cai is proven! ”

After Cai Yong heard this, his face changed, and he was a little stunned.

In his life, he has experienced a lot, and he has also seen life and death, he has seen all kinds of winds and waves, and he has also seen many bizarre and strange things. However, it was the first time he had encountered someone like Liu Xian, who directly and so rashly proposed to him in person, saying that he liked his daughter and asked him to fulfill it.

This, strictly speaking, is indeed not in line with the rules, how can any man propose to his daughter's father directly because he likes his daughter?

Don't talk about those three media and five burns, but at least you have to let Liu Xian's elders talk to you.

In addition, Cai Yong also felt a little puzzled, because he knew that Ma Guiren had proposed marriage to his friend Kong Rong for Liu Xian, and planned to marry Kong Rong's Kong family, and wanted to marry Kong Rong's daughter Kong Xue. But now that the kiss has suddenly come to his head, what is going on?

To be honest, if it is put on someone else's body, Cai Yong should not say anything about whether it will be fulfilled or not, if he agrees or disagrees, he will get angry on the spot and scold this person away.

But I don't know why, looking at Liu Xian in front of him, although he felt a little abrupt, he felt a little incredible. But I felt that it was very natural, and I felt that Liu Xian seemed to be really sincere and frank, and there seemed to be no sense of disobedience when he proposed marriage to himself like this.

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "This, this...... You, you, well, didn't Ma Guiren propose to Master Kong? And also...... Does my daughter Yan'er know about this? You ...... with her."

At this time, Cai Yong really didn't know how to respond, this matter actually involved others, and he didn't quite understand many of the situations.

"Lord Cai, I know this is indeed too abrupt. It seems that he is also a little anxious. But trust me. I also talked to Miss Cai Yan about this, and she ...... She agreed. Now, my righteous mother Ma Guiren has already talked to Master Kong, after all, Master Kong hasn't agreed yet, right? I don't think Lord Cai needs to think about this aspect of Mr. Kong. ”

Liu Xian naturally knew some of Cai Yong's concerns, so he also said that Ma Guiren had gone to talk to Kong Rong now.

"No, no, the old man thinks, alas, how can I say this? Let's put it this way, Master Kong also talked to me about Ma Guiren's proposal to him, and Master Kong also expressed his attitude to the old man, he himself actually has no opinion, the main thing is to wait until I see you in person, and ask his daughter to agree. There's not much of a problem with this. He didn't say yes at first, and there was another concern besides that. Cai Yong didn't know what to say at this time, he didn't dare to agree to Liu Xian rashly, after all, he also had to take care of the relationship with Kong Rong.

Just imagine, he originally proposed to Kong Rong to marry, but now he is suddenly going to marry his Cai family, will this make Kong Rong unable to step down? As Kong Rong's friend, Cai Yong felt really embarrassed.

But having said that, Cai Yong didn't have a strong idea in his heart to oppose this family matter, he just felt that he couldn't understand it for a while. In other words, his impression of Liu Xian is still good, and if Liu Xian becomes his son-in-law, he will not resist too much in his heart.

"Concerns? What are the concerns of Master Kong? Liu Xian also wanted to know what concerns Kong Rong had about him.

"Eh, what's this......" Cai Yong didn't seem to be able to speak at this time, but after a pause, he still said: "The reason is that the Plains Mansion itself, the Han Dynasty knows that the Plains Mansion is indeed a little special, and there is no male host." This suddenly appeared a young master, and everyone felt a little abrupt. I don't know it, how can I marry my daughter to the plain palace? ”

When Liu Xian heard this, he immediately understood why Kong Rong didn't agree at that time.

This is indeed a problem.
