Chapter Seventy-Two: Forced to Die
"Brother Shi, the little sister will say goodbye first." Cai Yan said goodbye to Tang Zheng.
"There are many inconsiderate receptions today, please forgive Miss Cai."
"It was the little sister who took the liberty to visit today and disturb the reunion of the brother's family. It's the little sister who should be forgiven. Brother Shi, please go back, my home is not far from here. ”
"Then Miss Cai should pay attention to safety, I won't send more."
Cai Yan stayed at Tang's house for a day today and didn't go home until dinner. Tang Zheng sent Cai Yan to the gate, and just as he was about to turn around, his elusive sister Tang Ji jumped out and said to Tang Zheng: "Brother, what do you think of Sister Zhaoji?" ”
"How's that?" Tang Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? I'm asking you, what do you think of Sister Akihime? ”
"Does it have anything to do with me whether she looks good or not?" Tang Zheng said to Tang Ji a little strangely. Tang Ji held his forehead with his hand and gave no hope to his brother.
"Don't you see that Sister Akihime is interested in you?"
"Is she interested in me there? I don't think you should mess with people's names behind your back. Be careful that Uncle Cai will settle accounts with you after he finds out. ”
"Are you a fool for me? It's so obvious that you can't see it. Look at the way she looks at you, it's called a tender vein. In other words, Sister Zhaoji is also a rare beauty, and she is proficient in Uncle Cai's true biography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a rare talented woman, are you really not tempted, brother? ”
"Do you think that's what you like? You are still young and don't know what love is. She has only been curious about hearing others talk about another person for a long time, and when she really sees the deity, she will have a kind of blind worship, and Cai Yan is in such a state now. ”
Do you believe that? My dear brother, don't take everyone for a fool. But even if you have the heart, you don't have a chance, Sister Zhaoji will marry Wei Jiawei Zhongdao in February next year. Tang Ji glanced at Tang Zheng and then said, "I won't tell you, I'll go back to sleep." Hum! With that, he turned around and walked to his room.
To be honest, Tang Zheng also saw that Cai Yan had different feelings for him today, but he never thought about love, and it was only after hearing his sister's prompt that Tang Zheng suddenly woke up. To say that he has no idea about Cai Yan is purely deceitful, a soul like Tang Zheng from later generations has long been curious about those talented women who have left a big name in history. It's just that Tang Zheng knew that she was the famous talented woman Cai Wenji in history from the first sight, and Tang Zheng had more feelings of pity for Cai Yan, and he was lamenting the injustice of fate for such a talented woman who had been reduced to a different race and lived the rest of her life.
Tang Zheng shook his head and didn't think about these messy things, he was barely able to gain a foothold in Youbeiping now, and then he had to deal with the Wuhuan and other ethnic minorities who were about to move in Liaodong and the upcoming warlord scuffle, how could Tang Zheng have time to think about his own affairs. Tang Zheng turned around and walked to his room, but he didn't know that a family storm was brewing because of him.
Cai Yan returned home and asked the maid beside him, "Is my father back?" ”
"Miss Hui, the master hasn't come back yet."
"Oh, got it." Cai Yan replied absentmindedly, she had been thinking about the conversation with Tang Ji. She also felt that Tang Ji said very much that she had to rely on herself to fight for her own happiness, not to mention that she had never seen Wei Zhongdao and didn't even know what he looked like, only that he seemed to be weak and sickly since he was a child. She felt that she really had to talk to her father, she really didn't want to marry Wei Zhongdao and marry a sick man, and her husband should be a man who stood up to the sky instead of a sick man.
"The master is back." There was a sound of people greeting Cai Yong outside.
"Is Miss back?" Cai Yong asked a maid beside him.
"Back to the master, the young lady has already returned, and the young lady is still asking the master if he has come back when he comes back."
"Well, you guys go down first, I'll go see Miss." After speaking, Cai Yong walked towards Cai Yan's boudoir.
"Is Yan'er asleep?" Cai Yong knocked on Cai Yan's door and asked.
"I haven't slept yet, Daddy come in." Cai Yan's voice came from inside the house. Cai Yong pushed the door and entered, and saw Cai Yan sitting in front of the dresser, his eyes were a little red and swollen, so he asked Cai Yan, "What's wrong?" My good daughter. Did someone you off? ”
"There's no father, it's just that my daughter is a little sad when she thinks of some things."
"What's the matter? Talk to Daddy. ”
"Daddy, I don't want to marry into the Wei family, I don't want to marry Wei Zhongdao."
"Nonsense, what kind of system is this. Marriage matters, how can you make trouble. Besides, this is something that I and your Uncle Wei have already discussed, and the marriage has already been decided, so why don't you say that if you don't marry, you won't marry? ”
"Does the father want his daughter's second half of life to be miserable?"
"How can this be true, how can it be true? Did Tang Ji of the Tang family say something to you? Why did you go to her house today and come back like a different person? ”
"Daddy, it's none of anyone else's business. It's the daughter herself who doesn't want to get married. It was the daughter who figured out something on her own. ”
"Marriage is a major event, and the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents. If you say you don't want to marry, you won't marry? This matter is settled, you have to marry if you don't marry. ”
"If Daddy really wants me to marry Wei Zhongdao, please carry my corpse away."
"Presumptuous, you're threatening your father. These days, you are at home doing some introspection. Cai Yong said angrily to Cai Yan, and then turned to the maid next to him and ordered: "If you look good at Miss these days, she is not allowed to go." ”
"Yes, sir."
Cai Yong glanced at Cai Yan and slammed the door angrily. Looking at his father who left angrily, Cai Yan couldn't help but think that this was still the father who usually loved him? Is it really for the sake of the so-called promise to ignore the happiness of his daughter?
Cai Yong, who returned to the room, became more and more angry the more he thought about it, this is still his well-behaved and obedient daughter before? Today is just a trip to the Tang family, and when I come back, it is like a different person, and I dare to contradict myself. That is, Brother Tang Mao is not in Luoyang, otherwise he would have to come to the door to ask Brother Tang how he taught his daughter, what did Tang Ji say to his daughter, so that her daughter, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, actually disobeyed herself.
"Master, it's not good. The young lady hanged herself. Just as he was about to sleep, Cai Yong was suddenly startled by the shouts of his subordinates, and he hurriedly pushed open the door and asked the maid, "What did you say?" "Back to the master, just now after the master left the young lady's room, the young lady said that she was going to rest, so she drove the maid out, the maid didn't notice that the young lady was in a wrong state, and then went to fetch water for the young lady to wash. When the maid came back from fetching water, she saw that the young lady was about to hang herself, so the maidservant hurriedly called someone to save the young lady. Fortunately, the rescue time Miss was not in any serious trouble, and the maidservant girl came to inform the master. ”
Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the maid's words, and then hurriedly walked towards Cai Yan's room.
Cai Yong came to Cai Yan's room, pushed open the door and walked straight in, but saw Cai Yan lying on the bed with blank eyes, Cai Yong shook his head and said to Cai Yan: "I don't know what you think, what's wrong with Wei Zhongdao?" The Wei family is also the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Zhongdao, who is the eldest son of the Wei family, don't think about it for yourself these days. After speaking, he told the maid to take good care of the young lady, and if the young lady had any problems, she would ask her. After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.
