Chapter 299: Kong Rong agreed to propose
Cai Yong finally put aside the worries in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then Cai will stay and serve as the dean of your Liu Mansion College." However, the old man also said in the front, if it really brings you any trouble, you can't wronged the old man. ”
Cai Yong is still a little worried that he will affect Liu Xian, after all, he is not a small person who has offended, even if it is a eunuch in the palace now, I am afraid that he can't wait for him to die soon.
In fact, Cai Yong really hopes that he can settle down and no longer have to wander around with his daughter.
"Lord Cai, I, Liu Xian, am not a person who is afraid of things. What's more, if you can also agree to my relationship with Miss Cai Yan, then we will be a family. Since it is a family, if I Liu Xian can't even protect my own family, then I will be a son of man and a husband in vain. Liu Xian brought the topic back to his relationship with Cai Yan.
Liu Xian knows very well that only if he marries Cai Yan, then he can firmly tie Cai Yong and never run away.
"Oh, that's it...... One looks at Yan'er's own opinion, and the other looks at Kong Wenju's situation, if he agrees, then this matter ......"
"Lord Cai, in fact, my business with Miss Cai Yan has nothing to do with Master Kong Rong and Miss Kong Family." Liu Xian interrupted Cai Yong's words and said: "I said earlier that marrying a wife and seeking talent is actually only one aspect. In fact, when marrying a wife, I still pay more attention to whether the two parties really love each other, and I am indeed sincere to Miss Cai Yan, and I fell in love with her at first sight. And I'm sure Miss Cai Yan feels the same way. I and her are arranged by God, no matter what, I, Liu Xian, have also married her. Unless Miss Cai Yan herself refuses. ”
Liu Xian is not afraid that Cai Yong will be angry or anything, because Liu Xian knows that Cai Yong is definitely not the one who goes back on his word, since he has promised himself to serve as the dean of Liu Mansion Academy, then he will definitely do it, and he will not regret it because of his affair with his daughter.
Therefore, now Liu Xian can be more intense and domineering about his affairs with Cai Yan.
"Personally, I think that the relationship between men and women should not be mixed with too many things. I don't know if Master Cai is ran? Liu Xian followed up and asked.
"Uh...... This one...... Alas, let's wait and see. Cai Yong really didn't know how to express his stance at this time, but he didn't get angry with Liu Xian's seemingly tough words, not to mention that he felt that what Liu Xian said also made some sense, no matter what, this central idea is actually revolving around his daughter.
As Liu Xian said, if his daughter is also devoted to Liu Xian, then it is indeed difficult for him to stop him. As a father, he naturally hopes that his daughter can find a good family, and that his daughter can marry a man who loves her very much.
It is true that the parents have the final say on the marriage of children, but Cai Yong's thinking is indeed more open-minded, and he thinks that it will be better to be loyal to his children's feelings. Cai Yong really can't force his daughter to marry someone she doesn't like, and if he has someone he likes, he can't beat the mandarin duck and prevent his daughter from marrying the person he likes, which will make his daughter sad.
Liu Xian opened his mouth, he wanted to say again, it is normal for a manly husband to have three wives and four concubines, even if Kong Rong agreed to marry his Plains Palace, but it will not hinder his affairs with Cai Yan. However, when these words came to his mouth, Liu Xian didn't have such a thick skin to say it, not to mention that this is Cai Yan's father after all, is it really good to say those things in front of other people's fathers?
At this time, Ma Guiren and Kong Rong walked in from outside.
"Uncle, nephew Liu Xianxian, it turns out that you are all here, Ma Guiren is really too polite, and you still need to invite us to a banquet in person? We are already familiar with the Plains Palace. Hehe......"
Kong Rong saw Cai Yong and Liu Xian, and greeted him happily.
When Liu Xian and Cai Yong saw each other, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and everyone's hearts suddenly understood, seeing Kong Rong's face with a festive look, and the title of Liu Xian also changed, and it seemed much closer. In this way, Kong Rong is estimated to have agreed to Ma Guiren's earlier proposal.
Both of them looked at Ma Guiren together.
Ma Guiren's face is also full of joy, for her, she doesn't care whether Liu Xian marries Miss Kong or Miss Cai, as long as she agrees, everyone is the same, and even, it is best for both families to agree, so it is equivalent to letting Liu Xian have a two-room wife, and there will be more children in the future.
In fact, Ma Guiren really thought so in his heart, when Liu Xian told her that she liked Cai Yan and hoped that Kong Rong could refuse, she also disagreed. What I thought in my heart was that since I liked it, I would marry together, why did I push the relationship with the Kong family?
Therefore, when she talked to Kong Rong, she did not express her intention to break the marriage contract she had discussed earlier with Kong Rong. Instead, he gave Kong Rong a lot of promises. But Ma Guiren is also very powerful, and he actually said bluntly to Kong Rong that Liu Xian has other concubines in addition to marrying Miss Kong, and she also said that the people in the Plains Mansion are thin, and she hopes that Liu Xian can spread more branches and leaves for the Plains Palace, and these hopes that Kong Rong can understand.
What do you say about these? Born in this era, whether it is a man or a woman in this era, in fact, there is no concept of monogamy in my heart at all.
Therefore, what Ma Guiren said made Kong Rong feel sincere when he heard it. He also asked himself, even if he didn't just have a wife, he couldn't even do it himself, how could he think that other men could only have one daughter and one woman?
Moreover, this is also a fact, powerful and rich people, these rich men, have only one woman in their lives, which is really very rare. Those who are monogamous are actually mostly ordinary people, which is not to say that ordinary people don't want to have three wives and four concubines, but they don't have that kind of conditions to support one more woman.
In fact, this situation is similar to that of later generations.
Ordinary people, in the law, reason, and feelings, most of them are monogamous. However, those rich and noble families, they are not in the law, they are not reasonable, and they are not emotional, but there will be many women. Because they have more wealth, they can feed more women. As long as there is money, there will be women who are willing to be his mistresses.
These should not be confused, but society is so real.
After Kong Rong thought about it, he still agreed to Ma Guiren's proposal.
What he had worried about earlier was the delicate situation of the Plains Palace. But he thinks that now that the Han is in such a situation, he will not pay attention to the affairs of the Plains Mansion at all, and at this time, marrying the Plains Mansion will not be harmful to his Kong family.
Moreover, Kong Rong does have certain ambitions. Or it can't be said to be ambition, anyway, he just doesn't want to be silent. He has learned everything he has learned, and he hopes to develop it. When he returned home from illness, he did not escape, but retreated.
He has some ambitions, and this ambition is to eradicate those traitors around the emperor and return the Han court to a clear and clear dynasty.
When he returned to Kong's house, he was actually waiting for an opportunity.
One thing is that Kong Rong is the same as Cai Yong and many old ministers, and he is indeed loyal to the Han. It's just that he has to see it a little more clearly than Cai Yong, and he sees clearly that traitors are rampant in the court, and these direct ministers will not have a chance to get ahead at all, and the emperor favors those traitors, if he stays in the capital, he will suffer from the slander of those traitors.
Therefore, he was wise to protect himself and returned to the Confucian family to develop first.
Now Liu Xian has become famous in Jizhou, and he is a talent, and his status is also matched, it can be said that he is a good match, so Kong Rong also recognizes that Liu Xian is also the best husband of his daughter.
Ma Guiren said with a happy face at this time: "Lord Meng Kong can afford it, and has already agreed to Xian'er and Miss Kong's family affairs, we will choose a day for this matter, and we can hold a wedding for them when we choose a good day and auspicious time." ”
"This is a great joy, congratulations to Ma Guiren, congratulations to Wenju, congratulations to the virtuous nephew." Cai Yong was really open-minded, and he didn't have the mind that because Kong Rong agreed, it would mean that his daughter was out of play, he stood up and said hello to the three people present.
"Haha...... Let's go, let's have a few drinks with Lord Cai tonight. Kong Rong didn't know that there was something else going on, so he laughed, and some anti-guest greetings Cai Yong went to the banquet.
Liu Xian was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether he liked it or was good at this time. Under the current circumstances, he didn't have much to say.
Fortunately, Cai Yong is indeed old and sophisticated, as if nothing happened, and went out with a smile and talk with Kong Rong.
Ma Guiren led the way in front, and Liu Xian followed behind.
The guests and hosts of the dinner were happy, Kong Rong and Cai Yong were a little too drunk, and they talked about the situation in the world during the banquet, and talked about the situation in the court today.
Of course, he also talked about some academic things, and occasionally studied Liu Xian.
However, Liu Xiandu barely coped with the past and did not participate in the current affairs and political affairs they talked about.
After three rounds of drinking, they dispersed to rest.
There are many celebrities in the county who come to visit the house, mainly to meet Cai and Kong. The fame of these two people in the literary world is indeed too great, and the news that they came to the Plains Palace as guests has also spread, so many people want to meet these two people, one wants to ask them for some knowledge, the other is to borrow the two to make a name for themselves, and the other is to hope to get support.
Liu Xian was too lazy to pay attention to those people.
The people in the family also knew that Liu Xian and Kong Xue's relationship had become a thing.
What about this Kong Xue, after knowing that her relationship with Liu Xian was also settled, she was so shy that she didn't dare to see Liu Xian. Even if Liu Xian wanted to see her again, she said it was okay, but she didn't open the door for Liu Xian.
Then Liu Xian met Cai Yan.
Seeing Cai Yan, Liu Xian didn't know how to face her at this time.
But I still bite the bullet and invite her to walk and talk with her.
The two walked in the garden and did not speak for a moment.
After a while, Liu Xiancai said to her: "Miss Cai Yan, I, I talked to your father about us last night......
"Hmm......" Cai Yan answered in a low voice, but did not ask.
"Your father actually agreed, but because my aunt proposed to Master Kong first. So ......"
"There is no need to explain, the sister of the Kong family is also very good, beautiful, and her temperament is simple and cute. It really matches you. Cai Yan said lightly, but it was difficult for Liu Xian to hear any emotions.
"It's not...... At that time, it was difficult for me to explain the situation to Master Kong at this time. ”
"I really don't have to explain it to anyone." Cai Yan is still talking flatly.
The more flat her tone, the more anxious Liu Xian became. One turned around, held her little hand and said, "Yan'er, good sister, I, I told you yesterday that I was sincere......"
"Humph! People didn't say you weren't sincere? So what more do you need to say? Xiaojing has already told others, you are also sincere to Zhang Ning, right? and Huang Wudie, that Miss Yi Ji. If you were to tell Miss Kong, it would be sincere, right? ”
Cai Yan struggled at this time, broke free from Liu Xian's hand, turned around and walked towards another garden path, and her tone finally had emotions.
Liu Xian saw that she was a little petty, and her heart was relieved, what Liu Xian was most afraid of was that her daughter had been plain and bland, if this was the case, then it meant that she wouldn't care about what she said at all, wouldn't believe in herself anymore, and wouldn't even like herself.
Now Cai Yan's appearance proves that she is a little angry and jealous, and she really cares that Liu Xian likes Liu Xian.
"Sister Yan'er, I will definitely give you an explanation, not to mention that the matter has not been decided yet? I've talked to you yesterday, but it's a big deal that you're a flat wife. ”
"Okay, I have good news, do you want to hear it?"
Liu Xian followed Cai Yan and said behind her.
"What's the good news?" Cai Yan stood still and asked.
She wasn't really angry, and Liu Xian made it clear to her yesterday. It's just that she still feels a little uncomfortable in her heart.
I have to say that Liu Xian has indeed entered her heart, although it is the first acquaintance, it seems to be the old one.
"Your father has promised to stay. He will be the dean of my Liu Mansion Academy, so that you sisters can stay and no longer have to wander around, and you don't have to worry about being persecuted by traitors. ”
"Really? My dad promised to stay? But this is not right, according to my father's temperament, he will definitely not agree easily. He didn't want to be favored by others, let alone bring misfortune to others. Cai Yan turned around, looking a little surprised and a little puzzled.
"Liufu Academy, I just asked your father to stay and help, this is not a favor for nothing. And what you think is a disaster is not a problem for me at all. Who would dare to provoke the Plains Mansion now? ”
"I see......"
"So, I can teach you the way of medicine in private, give me a few days, and let me sort out those medical books and copy them for you."
"Well, don't rush it either."
