In the backyard pavilion of Cai's mansion, Lian'er was full of tears, kneeling on the ground, sobbing nonstop, no matter how Liu Zhan and Cai Yan persuaded each other, she refused to get up, and muttered while shedding tears: "The slave and maid deserve it, and the young lady and the son don't have to feel sorry for the slave." The slave and maid Xie Gongzi are magnanimous, and Miss Xie just asked for the slave and maid. ”

Cai Yan was a little unbearable, and continued to persuade: "Lian'er, get up, no one really blames you, your father has always treated you like his own daughter, so he was a little harsh with you just now." ”

Liu Zhan also said: "Yan'er is right, as the saying goes, love is deep and responsibility is keen. ”

Lian'er insisted on kneeling on the ground to reflect, and said, "The slave knows that she is wrong, so let the slave and maid kneel here and punish themselves." ”

Liu Zhan saw Lian'er's stubborn appearance, so he stopped persuading, took Cai Yan's little hand, and said softly: "Yan'er, come, sit down and rest." ”

Cai Yan obediently followed Liu Zhan to sit down next to the desk, looked at Lian'er, and asked softly: "Lian'er, if my guess is correct, you also like Zhan Gongzi, right?" ”

As soon as Cai Yan's words came out, Liu Zhan couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, thinking: No, this little girl didn't have a good word when she saw me, how could it be......

Lian'er blushed, and quickly shook her head and denied: "Miss, the slave and maid don't have it, the slave and maid are just a cheap maid, how dare you have such a luxury." ”

When Lian'er said this, she clearly admitted her thoughts about Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan was a little excited in his heart, but he pretended not to hear what Lian'er said, his face was calm and silent.

Cai Yan turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhan, with mixed feelings in his heart.

In ancient times, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the Han Dynasty, which had an open people. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even if a man married a few widows, no one said anything, because it was too normal, and Cao Cao in history was not a good hand at collecting widows? Even Guan Gong set his sights on Qin Yilu's wife, Mrs. Du, but Guan Gong didn't get his wish.

However, as a generation of talented women, Cai Yan has her own arrogance, and it is difficult for her to say that she sincerely serves a husband with other women. However, Lian'er in front of her grew up with herself since childhood, like sisters, looking at her kneeling on the ground and her pitiful appearance, Cai Yan was a little soft-hearted, unwilling to let her sisters wronged her feelings.

What should I do? Cai Yan couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

Liu Zhan saw that Cai Yan was silent, coughed lightly, and said a little uncomfortably: "Lian'er, I understand your feelings, but feelings are not such a thing." ”

Lian'er listened to Liu Zhan's words and didn't speak, as if she was telling Liu Zhan in silence - I just like you, Gongzi.

Cai Yan was in a dilemma, and when she heard what Liu Zhan said, she was relieved: Yes, the relationship is a matter of the two of them, even if Lian'er likes Gongzi, she can't tell Gongzi's love for me.

As soon as he thought of this, Cai Yan slowly got up, gently moved Lianbu to Lian'er, and said, "Lian'er, if you like Gongzi, you have to fight for it yourself, if Gongzi also likes you, I will not object." You and I are like sisters, even if you and I serve the same husband, it's okay. ”

Lian'er continued to shake her head and said: "The slave and maid don't dare, Miss don't humiliate the slave and maid anymore, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and they will never dare to do such stupid things in the future." Lian'er will definitely serve Miss wholeheartedly in the future, and she will never dare to think about it. ”

Cai Yan already understood Lian'er's intentions, made up her mind at the moment, and said slowly: "Lian'er, you are careful and kind, you have never told a lie since you were a child, this time it must be because you don't know how to deal with sudden feelings, so you messed up and did something wrong, we don't blame you." This matter is settled, if the son is also interested in you, you can enter the door as a concubine in the future. ”

Cai Yan didn't wait for Lian'er to reply after speaking, and turned his head to look at Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan didn't expect Cai Yan to give himself a concubine before he passed the door, and he was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, this is ...... This...... Yan'er, this can't be helped, you know, I only have you in my heart. Liu Zhan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he said a big nonsense. If Cai Yan knew that Liu Zhan still had a private agreement with Guo Xin and Diao Chan for life, he might be jealous.

After Liu Zhan finished speaking, he fantasized alone: Yan'er's belly is suitable for being a big wife, and Yan'er will be in charge of the backyard in the future.

Lian'er knelt on the ground and stopped talking, as if she acquiesced.

Cai Yan listened to Liu Zhan's words, smiled slightly, ignored Liu Zhan's duplicity, looked at Lian'er on the ground, and said, "Get up, Lian'er, it's all a family." After speaking, he motioned to Liu Zhan to help Lian'er.

Liu Zhan had no choice but to get up and come to Lian'er, stretched out his hand to touch Lian'er's delicate body, helped her up, and said, "Get up, Lian'er, you can't get tired." ”

Lian'er's face flushed, she got up obediently and saluted Cai Yan: "Miss Xie will not be punished!" ”

Cai Yan said softly: "Lian'er, you and I are sisters as before, don't be disgusted because of what happened just now, okay?" ”

"Yes, miss."

Cai Yanxiu glared slightly: "Still so polite?" ”

Lian'er couldn't slow down all of a sudden, and stood in place at a loss, bowing her head and saying nothing.

Liu Zhan said with a stitch: "Yan'er, let Lian'er slow down, today is a bit too many turns for her." ”

Cai Yan didn't say anything more and motioned for Lian'er to retreat.

Lian'er understood, saluted Liu Zhan and Cai Yan, and gently moved Lianbu and turned to leave.

After Lian'er left, Cai Yan said softly: "Childe, today's banquet, the slave family still has a song to play, I wonder if Childe is interested in listening to it first?" ”

Liu Zhan immediately replied: "Of course you have to listen, Yan'er is a unique talent, I have already seen this color, this is this, of course, I also have to see it." ”

Cai Yan's face was crimson when Liu Zhan's words were not right, and he got up and walked to the front yard, and said softly as he walked: "Childe...... Childe speaks so presumptuously. ”

"Haha......" Liu Zhan smiled loudly and followed Cai Yan to the front yard.

……

In the main hall of the front yard, many guests have arrived one after another. Everyone gathered in twos and threes to talk and pass the time before the feast began.

Cai Yan came to the front yard and saw that many guests in the hall had already taken their seats, and he was a little embarrassed for a while: the piano was still behind the screen in the hall, how could this be good; I still have a piano in my room, it's just ......

Liu Zhan saw Cai Yan suddenly stop his lotus steps, pondered, and asked softly on the side, "Yan'er, what's wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

"Let's go, I'm still waiting to listen to Yan'er's music, so that my ears can be beautiful."

Listening to Liu Zhan's words, Cai Yan bit his silver teeth and thought: Just go to my room and play a song, anyway, my son and I have a lifelong relationship, so you don't have to care about this line. Thinking of this, Cai Yan led Liu Zhan to his boudoir.

……

Some of the guests in the hall knew Cai Yan, and when they saw Cai Yan and a teenager looking suspicious, they couldn't help but look at them curiously.

Someone with good deeds shouted in the hall: "Isn't that Miss Cai's family, why are you so close to that kid, who is that kid?" ”

This sentence immediately caused the restlessness of many young talents in the hall.

Many people ran to the door and looked out.

"Who is this guy?"

"How can Miss Cai be with this kind of goods? It's really annoying to me! ”

"I'll be sure to ask Master Cai about it later."

……

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction and jealousy for Liu Zhan's closeness to the goddess. It wasn't until Liu Zhan and Cai Yan turned the corner and disappeared that these jealous people returned to their respective positions in despair, each guessing Liu Zhan's origin.

……

Cai Yan's boudoir, the window is bright and clean, the fragrance is elegant, the potted plants that are scattered reflect each other, the dazzling classics are placed neatly, the lilac curtain dances lightly with the wind, there are several bamboo slips on the rosewood table on one side, and a simple guqin is placed on the piano stand next to the wooden table.

Cai Yan sat upright in front of the piano, stretched out his hands like white jade, stroked the strings, and a lingering and graceful piece of music rose with the wind, slowly overflowing the room and floating out of the window.

Liu Zhan sat comfortably opposite Cai Yan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes did not blink, quietly enjoying the music Cai Yan played for him, enjoying a good life.

The beauty in front of you is picturesque, the sound of the piano is intoxicating, the fragrance is fragrant, and the tent dances lightly......

What more could you ask for!

That's how life should be!

Liu Zhan only felt that the music was beautiful and moving, provocative, and it was very consistent with the rhetoric of the pickle girl he chanted, but what he didn't know was that Cai Yan was playing Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

At the end of the song, Cai Yan got up and sat down beside Liu Zhan, leaning on Liu Zhan's shoulder: "Son, can you hear the mind of the slave family?" ”

Liu Zhan didn't know that this was Cai Yan who was taking the exam, he stretched out his arm and gently held Cai Yan in his arms, and said crookedly: "Yan'er, your song just matches the words I chanted just now, it's really providential, Yan'er, thank you, let me enter your heart." The rest of your life is your ......"

……

The two were talking in the room, when they suddenly heard Lian'er calling outside the door: "Miss, the adults said that the time has come, and the banquet will be held immediately, and let the young lady wait in the private room behind the main hall in the front yard." ”

"Okay, I'll go over in a moment, you go and talk back to Daddy." Cai Yan responded, snuggled in Liu Zhan's arms for a while, and then went to the front yard with Liu Zhan.

What the two of them didn't know was that the song just now floated into the front yard hall. At this time, in the main hall, people were fighting over who played the music.

"This must be played by Miss Cai, tactful and melodious, just like Miss Cai's beauty, unforgettable."

"I guess this song was played by a man, maybe it was the guy who was with Miss Cai just now."

"No, no, it must be someone else, this is Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", someone must follow Sima Xiangru's pursuit of Zhuo Wenjun and pour out his heart to Miss Cai's family."

……

While everyone was discussing, Liu Zhan came to the front hall, and under the guidance of Lian'er, he found an inconspicuous seat and sat down.

After a while, I saw Cai Yong come to the hall, bow his hand to everyone, and said loudly: "I have kept you waiting, thank you colleagues and Junjie for your support." Shi was able to come out in eight years, which is the result of the great help of colleagues and Junjie, and Cai would like to thank you here. Cai prepared a little wine and side dishes today to express his gratitude, and asked you to drink and talk happily, and rest when you get drunk. Now for the feast. ”

As soon as Cai Yong's voice fell, the melodious and tactful song sounded from behind the screen, full of ears and endless wisps......
