Chapter Seventy-Four: Cai Yong's Compromise
"Mother, are you feeling better today?" Tang Zheng asked Tang's mother who was lying on the bed.
"It's already much better, I heard your sister say just now that you didn't see another one named Cao Cao? If you have something to do, you can get busy first, don't worry about me. ”
"Mother, my business is over, and Cao Cao has already left. Now it's okay to come and accompany my mother. ”
"Well, it's good if you have a heart. For your mother, this disease will not get better in a while, your business is important, you don't need to circle around your mother all day long. ”
"Well, I know mother, by the way, what do you want to eat today? I'll do it for you. ”
"Brother, I'm going to eat that sweet and sour bone. I'm going to eat those meatballs one by one. At this time, Tang Mu hadn't spoken, and Tang Ji next to her couldn't wait to say to Tang Zheng.
"You kid is neither big nor small, how can you always let your brother cook, your brother also has something to do."
"Mother, it's okay, it's okay for the past two days anyway, since my sister likes it, I'll do it, by the way, mother, what do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, as long as you do it, you like it."
"Hmph, my mother is eccentric, you don't care about me when my brother comes back, I asked my brother to make me a few dishes I want to eat, and my mother is also biased towards my brother."
"You've always been by my side, do I still hurt you less? Your brother has only come back and has suffered so much outside in the past two years. When I come back, I still have to cook for you, do you care about your brother? Can you tell me about being a sister like you? ”
"Whoever made him an elder brother, I am a younger sister, if I am a sister and he is a younger brother, I will also make food for him." Tang Ji twisted the corner of his clothes and whispered. Tang Zheng touched his sister's head and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and prepare lunch, sister, you can talk to your mother, and the meal will be good in a while." After speaking, Tang Zheng got up and went to prepare lunch.
"By the way, why didn't Zhao Ji come to our house to play today?" Tang's mother asked Tang Ji.
"I don't know, we said yesterday that we would go shopping together today. I don't know if Sister Zhaohime was delayed by something so she couldn't come. Tang Ji also wondered why Cai Yan didn't come today, they said yesterday that they would go shopping together today, and she waited at home all morning and didn't see Cai Yan. Usually, even if Cai Yan was stumped by something, he would send someone to inform Tang Ji, but today Cai Yan not only didn't come, but also didn't send anyone to inform Tang Ji. Tang Ji didn't know that Cai Yan was being grounded at home.
"Does Miss still refuse to eat?" In Cai Yong's study in Cai Mansion, Cai Yong asked the people around him.
"Yes, sir, Miss hasn't eaten anything since last night, and the whole person just sits quietly in front of the dresser and doesn't speak."
"Yes, I see. I'll check it out. After speaking, Cai Yong walked towards Cai Yan's room. Cai Yong also loves his only daughter, and since his wife left, Cai Yong has not been continuing, and the father and daughter have been dependent on each other. Cai Yong also thought a lot last night, and he also knew that Wei Zhongdao was weak and sickly. It's just that Wei Zhongdao's health was not so bad when he decided on this family affair, so do you have to regret marriage now when you see that other people's health is not good? He, Cai Yong, was a great Confucian in the court, and he couldn't do such a shameful thing as regretting marriage. It's just that at this moment, he is also thinking about whether face is important or his daughter's happiness is important, is he really wrong this time? Looking at her daughter's attitude, she obviously has someone she likes, but I don't know who can impress her daughter, who has always been arrogant.
Cai Yong came to Cai Yan's door and knocked lightly, and when he saw that there was no reaction inside, he said softly: "Yan'er, Daddy is here." After speaking, he gently pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered the door, Cai Yong saw Cai Yan with red and swollen eyes and a haggard face sitting in front of the dresser in a daze.
Looking at Cai Yan's appearance in front of him, how could he still have his usual half of his look, Cai Yong couldn't help but feel tightened in his heart, as if his heart was suddenly held tightly by an invisible hand. "Yan'er, eat a little bit, what kind of face do you let your father face your dead mother." Hearing Daddy say the word "mother's kiss", Cai Yandou's big tears slipped out of her eyes again, but she still didn't say anything or do anything, letting the tears flow on her face.
Looking at the current appearance of her daughter, who has been dependent on her since she was a child, Cai Yong couldn't say anything about letting her marry Wei Zhongdao. "Yan'er, since you don't like Wei Zhongdao, then forget it. Dad will fight this old face, don't force you to marry Wei Zhongdao again, Dad will write to your Uncle Wei to explain the situation. After speaking, Cai Yong was about to turn around and go to the study to send a letter to the Wei family in Hedong to say about the cancellation of the marriage between Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan. At this time, Cai Yan stood up from the dresser and hugged his father and cried, "Dad." Cai Yong patted his daughter's back and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, since you don't like Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family, then we won't marry." ”
"Daddy, my daughter has embarrassed you, it's just that my daughter really doesn't like a person who has never met and has been sick since childhood. What's more, his figure always appears in his daughter's mind, and his daughter can't be waved away. Cai Yan said to his father with a sob.
"Okay, stop crying. Let's eat something first. By the way, talk to Daddy. I would like to see whose talented man captured my daughter's heart, and did not hesitate to threaten his own father to marry him by going on a hunger strike. ”
"I don't know what he means." Cai Yan said with a red face and a twist.
"Ah, who is it? Who is so capable of daring to let my daughter have unrequited love. Cai Yong held his forehead with his hand, he thought that someone had sweetly deceived his daughter and made his daughter die for him. As a result, it was just his daughter's wishful thinking for a long time, and the other party didn't know about it at all.
"Talk to my father, let my father see whose son has such a great charm that makes my daughter so desperate for him."
"Actually, you know Daddy, and you and his father are still old friends." Cai Yan said with a red face.
"Am I still friends with his father? Wait, you let Daddy think about it. Cai Yong even flashed a few names in his mind, but he ruled them out, and in the end, he really couldn't think of any son in his old friend who could make his daughter so desperate for him. In the end, I could only ask Cai Yan: "Yan'er, my father really can't think of anyone whose son-in-law can make my Yan'er look at it, even if Yan'er can look at it, they are already married." Speaking of this, Cai Yong suddenly stopped, and then looked at his daughter intently, no, my daughter won't go to make a small bar. Looking at his father's eyes looking at him, Cai Yan knew that his father had misunderstood, so he said: "Daddy thought of going there, in fact, he is the son of Uncle Tang's family." After speaking, Cai Yan blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at his father.
"Ah, it's actually the son of Tang Mao's old family, and Tang Mao's old husband is inseparable from you." Cai Yong roared, and after a while, he said softly: "Hey, isn't Tang Heng of Tang Mao's family already married?" Besides, Yan'er, why did you fall in love with that straw bale? ”
"It's not Tang Heng's father, it's Tang Zheng, the second son of Uncle Tang's family."
"Tang Zheng? Why is the name so familiar? Does Tang Mao's old thing still have a son? Saying this, Cai Yong turned his head to look at Cai Yan, and then said in disbelief: "You are talking about the missing second son of the Tang family..."
