Section 183: Chen Liu's ancestors
The six ceremonies of the big wedding have been completed, and the next step should be Cai Yan's visit to Guan Yan's parents and other elders, but Guan Yan is alone, his parents died early, and he has no relatives and elders, so this matter is naturally decided by the master Huangfu Song.
After Guan Yan and Cai Yan finished the tea, Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Now that Wende has become a family, the old man is very happy!" It's just that the old man is your master after all, although your parents have passed away, you still need to worship and inform! ”
Guan Yan nodded: "What the teacher said is very true, but the Guan clan is in the land of Qingzhou, and there is still more than a month away from here, and now the court is unstable, if you leave at this time, I am afraid of trouble!" ”
Huangfu Song thought for a moment and muttered: "Wende's worries are also reasonable, since he is in a high position, he takes state affairs first!" When the court calms down, it's not too late for Wende to go again! Okay, you take Zhao Ji to meet Cai Weng, it is estimated that Old Man Cai will be in a hurry, hehe! ”
Guan Yan smiled: "That apprentice will retire first!" ”
Cai Yan saluted Huangfu Song, and then withdrew with Guan Yan.
"This kid, the old man gave him his daughter, and he hasn't come to see the old man yet, what a white-eyed wolf!" Cai Yong walked back and forth in the hall, muttering incessantly, and his white beard curled up one after another.
Cai Fu, an old official, stepped forward and said: "My uncle just got married to Miss, and it is understandable that I will start later today, not to mention that it is rainy outside, and it may delay the journey!" ”
Cai Yong snorted, and was about to continue to reprimand Guan Yan, when a shout came from outside the door: "Master, Dongxiang Hou Guan Yan and Miss ask to meet!" ”
In normal times, Cai Yan naturally doesn't need to report when he goes home, but in this era, the daughter who marries out is a member of the man's family, although she is returning to her parents' house, she must be treated as a guest.
When Cai Yong heard this, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, but he immediately lowered his face, turned around and sat on the main seat, and said in a deep voice: "Please come in!" ”
After a while, Guan Yan walked in with Cai Yan, and when he saw Cai Yong, Guan Yan fell down and bowed: "My son-in-law meets my father-in-law!" ”
Cai Yan also said: "Meet Daddy!" ”
Cai Yong coughed, and said angrily: "Wende, the old man was just about to go out, and you came!" ”
"Out of the house?" Guan Yan turned his head to look at the weather outside, and replied puzzledly: "Where does Uncle Yue want to go?" ”
"The house is empty, and I want to go out for a walk and relax!"
Listening to the tone, Guan Yan understood that Cai Yong was too late, and this old man's temper was really big!
Guan Yan hurriedly explained: "The son-in-law is late, please atone for your sins!" ”
Cai Yong stood up and paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.
"Get up and sit down."
Guan Yan was on the verge of amnesty, and helped Cai Yan to stand up and do the following.
Cai Yong's face improved, and he said slowly: "Zhao Ji is married, my Cai Yong is also this one daughter, the day after tomorrow, I am going to go back to my hometown to worship the ancestors of the Cai family, will you two go?" ”
This question, Guan Yan hesitated, in order to stabilize the situation in the imperial court, Guan Yan didn't even dare to go back to the Guan clan in Qingzhou, although Chen Liulu was close, it only took a few days, but he still couldn't rest assured in his heart!
Looking at Guan Yan's hesitant face, Cai Yong stretched his face again: "What, you don't want to go?" ”
The old father-in-law lowered his face again, and Guan Yan hurriedly replied: "Father-in-law, it's not that the son-in-law doesn't want to, but that the court is unstable, and I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo ......."
I have to say that although Cai Yong is world-famous, his political vision is still a bit short-sighted, and when he heard Guan Yan's worries, Cai Yong patted his leg and said urgently: "Then Dong Zhuo sent gold and silver yesterday to show friendship, not to mention that this back and forth is only a few dozen days, what does it matter?" ”
As the saying goes, when an old man looks at his son-in-law, the more he looks at it, the more upset he becomes. raised such a big daughter and gave it to Guan Yan at once, although there was no malice, Cai Yong still held back the fire in his heart. If the two sides are not in harmony because of this incident, it is really worth the loss!
Guan Yan weighed it, and if he went alone, and left all the generals and dragons and tigers in Luoyang, he should be fine within ten days. Thinking of this, Guan Yan gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, the day after tomorrow, the little son-in-law will take Zhao Ji to walk with his father-in-law!" ”
Cai Yong smiled at this time: "Okay, okay, then it's decided!" ”
After Guan Yan returned home, he urgently summoned Xi Zhicai and Fu Zhi to gather and have a secret conversation in the room.
When Guan Yan recounted today's events, he replied bluntly: "Lord, it's really inappropriate to leave Beijing at this time!" The court is undecided, Dong Zhuo is eyeing it, although Dong Zhuo showed favor with a heavy gift yesterday, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, this matter is uncertain for a day, the lord thinks twice! ”
Guan Yan sighed: "I don't know, but you also know Cai Weng's temper, if this matter doesn't go along with him, I won't be restless for a day!" ”
Xi Zhicai is quite sophisticated, and after thinking about it, he said: "What the lord said is also reasonable, Cai Weng is strong, if you don't follow this matter, I'm afraid the relationship will not be harmonious!" What's more, I will not stay in Chen for ten days, and we will strengthen our vigilance, and it will be fine! Gongyu, you say yes? ”
Thinking about it, he said helplessly: "That's the only way, the lord will go early and return early!" ”
"It's natural, it's natural!"
The three of them discussed the details again, and then they dispersed.
Guan Yan's mansion conspiracy, and another mansion in Luoyang was not idle.
At night, in the study in Dong Zhuo's mansion. After listening to the secret report of a confidant, Dong Zhuo stroked his palms and laughed.
Seeing this, Li Ru on the side raised his eyes and looked at Dong Zhuo: "Why is my father-in-law so happy?" ”
Dong Zhuo patted his belly and said, "Wenzheng, according to the eyeliner, Guan Yan will follow Cai Yong to Chenliu to worship the ancestors of the Cai family the day after tomorrow!" ”
Li Ru was overjoyed and said: "This is a godsend!" ”
Dong Zhuo nodded, and his eyes became deeper: "Lifting a big thing, just waiting for this time!" ”
In the early morning of the third day, Guan Yan was afraid that Cai Yong would get angry again, so he got up early with Cai Yan at the fourth watch, and the two went to Cai Yong's mansion after cleaning up.
At the beginning of the fourth watch, the sun was rising, and the city of Luoyang was still covered with a layer of dim tulle.
Walking in front of Cai Fumen, people come and go in the courtyard between them, bustling and very lively. All the subordinates were busy carrying a volume of bamboo slips.
Cai Fu, the old butler who was in command, saw that Guan Yan was coming, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Uncle is here!" ”
After saying peace, Cai Fu saluted Cai Yan on the side again.
Guan Yan looked at the flow of people coming and going, and asked, "Uncle Cai, what are you doing here?" ”
Cai Fu replied: "The old man loves books like his life, no matter where he goes, he will bring the book with him, and he can read it at any time!" ”
"Bring so many?" Guan Yan was shocked.
"yes, bring them all!"
At this time, Cai Yong was walking out of the living room and walked towards Guan Yan with a smile: "Wende and Zhaoji are here!" ”
Guan Yan hurriedly saluted: "Father-in-law! ”
Cai Yong nodded: "It's almost all packed, let's go, let's go!" ”
