Li Zhen picked up the name card and said to Zhang Fei and the others: "I don't have any friendship with this Cai Yong, why did he invite me to his house as a guest?" “

Zhang Fei said: "I'll know if I go tomorrow, maybe your reputation has already been known, so I invited you." ”

Li Zhen shook his head, this Cai Yong is a dignified Confucian, and all the people he knows are literary masters or people from officialdom, if you want to invite yourself, you will also visit him first! Li Zhendao: "Cai Yong is a dignified Confucian, he won't do anything to me tomorrow, I'm afraid that someone from the family will obstruct me tomorrow, after all, something just happened at the Luoshui Poetry Conference, and someone must embarrass us." ”

The three of them also nodded and agreed with Li Zhen's statement, after all, the family is the same spirit, and if you slap the face of one family, it is equivalent to slapping the face of other families, and the relationship between the families is too intertwined.

Dian Wei said: "Childe, let's accompany you tomorrow and see what happens?" ”

Li Zhen let go of the worries in his heart and said: "Actually, nothing will happen tomorrow, Cai Yong is a generation of Confucianism, and he is also an official of the imperial court, no one dares to make trouble in his house." Maybe I'm thinking too much, just accompany me tomorrow Zhou Cang, and you guys should rest early! ”

Zhang Fei was still worried, and said, "Why don't we go with you tomorrow, so that we can rest assured." "Yes! Childe, it's okay for us to stay at home, so I'll go with you. Dian Wei said with the trend. Hey, this is the imperial capital, who dares to make trouble here. Besides, there will be more red tape tomorrow, can you stand it? I'm afraid that you will be impatient, and it will not be good to add anything to the impact. This family is all people who want to be faced, and tomorrow will be a battle of words at most, and I haven't been afraid of that yet. Li Zhen said confidently.

The two of them scratched their heads with their hands, laughed, and said, "Aren't we worried about your safety?" "Don't worry, I'll bring a few more guards tomorrow, and I'll have Zhou Cang with me."

The two didn't talk anymore after hearing this, and if they continued to talk about it, they would distrust Zhou Cang, which would hurt the feelings of several people.

The next day, Li Zhen took this Zhou Cang to Cai's mansion, Zhou Cang took out the name card and handed it to the doorman, the doorman looked at the name card and shouted: "Li Zhen, a genius from the north, has arrived." After speaking, a housekeeper came out and came to Li Zhen's side and said, "The genius of the north has arrived, please come into the mansion for a while." ”

Li Zhen came to the main hall to see that there were still many vacant seats, and knew that the guests were still coming. The housekeeper said, "Please sit down and rest for a while, and my master will come out later." "Well, you go get busy first!" Li Zhen said to the housekeeper. Seeing that the housekeeper went down, Li Zhen couldn't sit still and got up and walked around.

Cai Yong in the backyard was being pulled by his daughter Cai Yan at this time, and Cai Yong said to his daughter: "Alas! There is really no way about this, you said that I invited your Uncle Wang Yun, so can Hedong Wei Zhongyi not be invited? Cai Yan pulled Cai Yong's sleeve and said coquettishly: "My daughter doesn't follow, don't you know about the contradiction between Wei Zhongyi and Li Zhen?" You invited Li Zhen to a banquet, why did you call him over? ”

Cai Yong covered his forehead and said, "My good daughter! You still don't know the relationship between Wang Yun and Wei Zhongyi's father, they are like brothers, and besides, we have also received the favor of the Wei family before, how can we not invite Wei Zhongyi to come! ”

Cai Yan stomped his little feet when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "What can I do about this?" That Wei Zhongyi would definitely trouble him when he saw Li Zhen. "Alas! Why didn't I see you care so much about me! Cai Yong saw Cai Yan's worried look for Li Zhen, and said with a smile.

"Daddy, aren't people worried that they will quarrel at home and ruin your reputation?" Cai Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to face Cai Yong's eyes. "Okay, okay, if Wei Zhongyi is looking for trouble with Li Zhen, I'll mediate between them, so it's okay!" Cai Yong smiled and stroked his beard.

Cai Yan nodded vigorously. Cai Yan also knew that at today's banquet, Wei Zhongyi would definitely receive a famous post. Cai Yong and Wang Yun are officials in the same dynasty, and the two are friends, this Wang Yun has more care for Wei Zhongyi, and when Wang Yun comes, this Wei Zhongyi will also come. Besides, Cai Yan's mother had an illness when she was a child, and the family received the favor of the Hedong Wei family, so Cai Yong really had no way to invite him. But Cai Yan still hopes that his father can help Li Zhen more when the time comes.

The father and daughter talked about a lot of past events in the backyard. "Lord Lu Zhilu has arrived." "Huangfu Song, Lord Huangfu has arrived." "Ma Ri Yan Ma is here." "Yang Biao, Lord Yang has arrived."

Li Zhen listened to the famous men or famous generals of the Han Dynasty reported by the guards outside, and said with emotion: "This Cai Yong is not a great Confucian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he has a wide range of friends!" Is there a chance to see his daughter, where is Cai Yan, the first talented woman of the Three Kingdoms? "Your Excellency Wang Yun has arrived." "The second young master of Hedong Wei Zhongyi has arrived."

Li Zhen heard the doorman report such a sentence, and said softly: "He is also here, it seems that the person who came is not good!" ”

Zhou Cang also stood nervously behind Li Zhen.

After the guests came, Cai Yong also came to the main hall from the backyard, Cai Yong said: "It is Cai Yong's honor to have a distinguished guest here today, please take a seat." ”

After everyone chattered and saluted, they sat down one after another, and Li Zhen came to Cai Yong's table and said, "Li Zhen meets the teacher." Cai Yong stood up and said happily: "But Li Zhen, a genius from the North, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I finally met the real person today." Cai Yong took Li Zhen's hand enthusiastically and said, "Come, I'll introduce you to a few friends." Li Zhen felt Cai Yong's enthusiasm and went to everyone's table to greet them one by one.

Coming to Wang Yun and Wei Zhongyi's table, before Cai Yong could speak, Wang Yun spoke first, "Li Zhen, is it a genius in the north, I know your name, you are really powerful, you are sharp-toothed, this Luoyang City has been spread all over." ”

Cai Yong was embarrassed to hear his friend say this, after all, Li Zhen was a guest he invited, and he counted down before he was introduced.

Cai Yong is a great Confucian, but he has never quarreled with anyone in his life, and he has never seen such a scene, so he doesn't know how to speak for a while?

Li Zhen saw Cai Yong staying there, so he said, "Don't dare, just a little bit of ability in the next place." Looking at Wei Zhongyi and said: "It's not like someone, what he said hasn't been promised yet, at least what he said still counts." "You." Wei Zhongyi stood up and pointed at Li Zhen with his finger, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't say a word. "Haha, there are so many dignitaries and nobles today, you still don't talk about your set of poems, we are talking about state affairs." After Wang Yun finished speaking, he pulled Wei Zhongyi to sit down.

The atmosphere became a lot colder because of this, and everyone also looked at them, Cai Yong was even more embarrassed when he saw this, smiled bitterly at Li Zhen, and asked Li Zhen to sit down.

Cai Yong ordered his subordinates to serve wine and food, and everyone also raised their glasses and chatted, which made this cold atmosphere better, but it was Li Zhen's lonely table.

After Li Zhen sat down, he was also angry, and he drank stuffy wine, feeling aggrieved in his heart.

After Cai Yong toasted, he saw Li Zhen, thought of his daughter's confession, raised his glass and came to Li Zhen's table and said: "Xiaoyou is really sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I wanted you to reconcile and reconcile, who knows?" Alas! ”

Li Zhen stood up and raised his glass and said: "Teacher, don't say that, no one can think of this thing, and besides, you also mean well, I didn't go to my heart, come, let's have a drink." ”

Cai Yong was also very happy to see Li Zhen's atmospheric appearance, after all, if his guests were angry in his own home, he would not be happy.

After the two raised their glasses and drank it, Cai Yong poured another glass and said to Li Zhen: "I really like your poems and words, we will discuss them when we are free." "You're welcome, the teacher's flying white body, Li Zhen also likes it, I have time, I also want to ask you for advice."

Wei Zhongyi saw Cai Yong talking and laughing at Li Zhenyou, and he was very indignant, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it. Wang Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, this banquet has just begun, and there will be an opportunity, you can rest assured." ”

Wei Zhongyi heard Wang Yun say this, raised his cup to Wang Yun, and said, "Then I'll take a good look at his ugliness later." ”

Li Zhen didn't know that there was something waiting for him now, but now he was in a hurry, got up and came to a servant and said, "Where is your latrine?" ”

The servant said quickly: "Go back, turn left, see a pillar, turn left, and go forward, you know." ”

Li Zhen looked at him with his mouth wide open, and said in his heart: "What kind of superb person is this?" ”

The servant said, "If you don't understand, I'll talk about it, or I'll go with you." ”

Li Zhen shuddered when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Understood, understood." He turned and walked out the door.
