Chapter 81: Candle Night in the Cave Room
When Cai Yong saw Ma Yun, he suddenly thought of Liu Xin, and remembered that he had persuaded himself to quit the Wei family a few months ago. What is unthinkable is that Zhang Ji can also diagnose Wei Zhongdao's inability to have children, and saying that not being able to have children may be caused by men, this kind of thing is simply unheard of, but these things are still told by Liu Xin to Zhang Ji, does Liu Xin also understand medical skills? Isn't there anything greasy in this?
Cai Yong was reluctant to admit that Zhang Ji's diagnosis was correct, at this time he was like a drowning man, suddenly grasping a life-saving straw, and his spearhead was quickly pointed at Liu Xin. Yes, it must be him! Some time ago, Cai Yong, who was in turmoil with Bei Yu and Su Dai, also knew more clearly, and Liu Xin used a lot of strength to investigate the details of Su Jian and the sisters, and set up a trap to wipe them out.
Liu Xin is the pastor of Jingzhou, he must have more eyes and ears in Xiangyang City, Wei Zhongdao's coming to Xiangyang must not escape his eyes, and he must also know about Wei Zhongdao's illness, so will this time also be a set up by him? Zhang Ji was originally a taishou under Liu Xin, if Liu Xin had any requests, wouldn't Zhang Ji agree?
The more Cai Yong thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis was reasonable, Liu Xin's conspiracy was to prevent his daughter from marrying into the Wei family, and he was fighting Yan'er's idea! At this time, Cai Yong had already thrown his past good impression of Liu Xin out of the clouds, Liu Xin loved the people like a son, and his outstanding talent had become a disguise, and even Zhang Ji seemed to be a hypocrite in his eyes.
Cai Yong refused to stay in the academy any longer, and hurried back home, because the carriage had been lent to Wei Zhongdao.
Mrs. Cai saw Cai Yong, who was sweating profusely, and asked strangely, "Master, don't you have to teach today?" Why did you sweat all over? ”
Cai Yong said anxiously: "I was in too much of a hurry just now, you hurry up and pack your things, and we are going back to Luoyang." ”
I heard that she was going back to Luoyang, but Mrs. Cai was not happy. In Xiangyang for more than half a year, except for some small unhappiness in the marriage between her daughter and the Wei family, Mrs. Cai felt very happy in other aspects, and she had fully adapted to life in Xiangyang. And their new home is about to be built, Mrs. Cai has also specially visited it a few times, the new mansion is not very large, but the design is exquisite, especially the garden, in which there are small bridges, flowing water, rockeries, pavilions, she is very satisfied.
What's more, Mrs. Cai felt that her husband was very tired from living in Luoyang, and he was not like being in Xiangyang, and he was very respected, and Lord Liu, the state pastor, took good care of their family. Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai's face sank, and she said, "Master, it's good to go back to Luoyang in a dignified manner, isn't it good here." ”
Cai Yong sighed and said, "Alas, it's hard to say, I'm not thinking about Yan'er all this time." ”
After Mrs. Cai heard Cai Yong tell what happened, especially when Cai Yong also told her guess, she suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Master, are you crazy?" Even Mr. Zhang's words are doubtful! No, no, Yan'er must not marry Wei Zhongdao, and Yan'er must not be pushed into the fire pit. ”
Cai Yong said undoubtedly: "I am the master of this family, and I have the final say on everything." ”
Worried that Liu Xin would come forward to stop him, Cai Yong's desire to return to Luoyang was not mentioned in front of outsiders, but he just discussed the itinerary with Wei Zhongdao. Because Cai Yong could only go on the road with the caravan of the Wei family, after all, the yellow scarves had just been exterminated, and the road was not very peaceful. Although Cai Yong had already decided to leave Xiangyang and return to the capital, he also secretly kept an eye on it, and did not immediately agree to Wei Zhongdao's request for the gift of Nagina, but only said that everything would be said after returning to Luoyang. Since the Wei family's caravan still had some business to discuss in Xiangyang, Cai Yong tried his best to pretend to be normal and went to the academy to teach as usual.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for Liu Xin and Zhang Ning to agree to get married. Zhang Ning was already waiting for the maidservants, bathing and changing clothes, and changed into a set of red wedding clothes. This new house is located in the state pastor's mansion, because Fu Zhu and Tian Feng have already moved out, and many courtyards are vacant in the state pastor's mansion. Liu Xin made it very clear to her that this marriage should not be publicized, so the sedan chair cannot be had, but she still made a red hijab and put it on her head. Seeing Zhang Ning wearing a red hijab, even Bian Yu was jealous, she had never received this treatment.
Night gradually fell, Zhang Ning sat on the edge of the bed, feeling uneasy, although when she came to Liu Xin, she was ready to sacrifice her body, but when it came to the end, she regretted it a little. Zhang Ning touched the sword placed next to him, remembering the tragic scene of his father being dissected and poked at the corpse, he sighed in his heart, and hung his head helplessly.
"Squeak", the door opened and closed, and a sound of footsteps came, Zhang Ning's heart couldn't help but clench, he came. The visitor also seemed to be a little hesitant, walked very slowly, stopped after walking a few steps, and could no longer hear any movement. After a long time, I heard a sigh of "sigh". Zhang Ning's heart suddenly tightened, it was not like Liu Xin's voice, but it was vaguely familiar.
I only heard the man speak: "Girl, although it was not my intention tonight, but the eldest brother has an order, and I can't help it." I'll sit at this table tonight, and I'll never offend the girl, so you can sleep alone, girl." ”
Zhang Ning was almost crazy, this voice had been buried deep in her memory, and she didn't expect it to suddenly appear here. She had lost count of the number of times she had met the owner of this voice in her dreams, could it be that the person in front of her was the one who had haunted her for more than a year?
After the man had said this, there was no movement. Zhang Ning was embarrassed to pick up his hijab, but he was already convinced that this person must not be Liu Xin. There was silence in the cave room for a while, Zhang Ning was at a loss, and suddenly ran into the sword hanging on the tent hook, and had a plan. She fumbled and took the sword into her hand, and pulled it out with a "brush", and the lamp was lit in the room, and the sword was unsheathed, and there was a flash of light.
I heard the man ask in surprise, "Where did this sword come from, girl?" ”
Zhang Ning said softly: "This sword was given to me by a man with a negative heart. ”
As soon as Zhang Ning finished speaking, she heard the footsteps of the man, who was moving towards the bed, and she already felt that the person was standing in front of her, and when she lowered her head, she could see his big red wedding dress. Her heart couldn't help but "thump" and jumped, and she didn't know whether she liked it or was worried.
At this moment, Zhang Ning felt that his red hijab seemed to tremble, but after a long time, there was no movement, and Zhang Ning almost wanted to reach out and lift the hijab on it. The person who came seemed to have made a lot of determination, and finally, Zhang Ning felt that his eyes lit up, and the red hijab had been lifted by the person. She looked up, and the two of them exclaimed in unison, "It's you!" ”
The person who came was Xu Huang, and he received a fast horse message from Liu Xin the day before yesterday, asking him to rush back to Xiangyang overnight to discuss important matters. Xu Huang didn't dare to slack off, explained the affairs of the county, and hurriedly took a few personal soldiers on the road.
When Liu Xin saw Xu Huang, he didn't wait for him to take a breath, so he said, "Gongming, I'm sorry for you for something as a brother." ”
Xu Huang felt inexplicable and said, "Big brother treats me with affection and righteousness, why do you say this." ”
Liu Xin said apologetically: "I was newly married last month, and I heard that the Wang family was originally going to marry this bride to you, but I messed up the mandarin duck score, so I married you, you won't blame me." ”
Xu Huang said with a blank face: "Didn't the eldest brother make up this matter to coax Bei Yu and Su Dai?" Why did you take it seriously. ”
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "This is true, I just use it." Now that I've helped you say a family, even if it's to make up for my mistakes. ”
Xu Huang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Big brother, don't do this." Jun Yi is also my brother, not to mention that I really don't know anything about the Wang family, even if they say, I won't agree, and the eldest brother doesn't need to worry about this matter. ”
Liu Xin said disapprerovingly: "The male should get married, and the female should get married." The girls have already agreed, and the bride has been received in my house, just waiting for you to spend candle night in the cave room, you can't let the family wait for a long time. If you don't agree, you won't have me as a big brother in the future. ”
Xu Huang was forced into the cave room at this time, he never dreamed that the bride turned out to be Zhang Ning. These two people now respect and hate Liu Xin, but they refuse to say such a big thing, but it is needless to say that they linger overnight.
Cai Yong and Liu Xin both live in the state pastor's mansion, although Liu Xin's marriage for Xu Huangying was carried out in secret, but the red happy characters, red lanterns, and red candles in the cave room could not be hidden from the Cai family. Cai Yong's perception of Liu Xin is another layer worse, this person has one thing in front of him and another behind his back, he has been in Jingzhou for less than a year, and he has accepted two concubines in succession, and now he doesn't know who he wants to marry, he himself is a womanizer, but he wants to frame Wei Zhongdao for indulgence in turn.
Cai Yong knew his daughter's beauty, worried that she would fall into Liu Xin's clutches, and his mood to leave Xiangyang became even more urgent. It just so happened that the affairs of the Wei family's caravan in Xiangyang had basically ended, and Wei Zhongdao came to discuss the itinerary with Cai Yong, and Cai Yong naturally wished that the sooner the better.
In the early morning of the second day of Xu Huang's marriage, Cai Yong called the family up. During this time, Cai Yan has been under house arrest in the boudoir, really not out of the door, no step out of the second door, no one knows what happened, but was urged by his father to hurry up and pack his luggage.
In order to leave Xiangyang smoothly, Cai Yong didn't even want the books he regarded as life, and only brought some soft with him to go on the road. The Cai family now also has a lot of slaves, some of these people turned out to be slaves of the Shi family, and some are the ladies and ladies of large families. Cai Yong instructed them all to stay at home honestly, and waited until dawn to tell Liu Xin the news of their departure, and none of these people dared to disobey Cai Yong's intentions.
Mrs. Cai's mother and daughter sat in the luxurious carriage given by Liu Xin, while Cai Yong rode in the same car with Wei Zhongdao, left the state governor's mansion, and hurried towards Luoyang. Wei Zhongdao stayed in Xiangyang for a few days, taking medicine on time every day, and he didn't dare to go in and out of the land of fireworks, but his body was much better, and he couldn't even hear a cough along the way. Cai Yong trusted his own judgment more and more, and felt how wise his decision-making was.
Cai Yong was worried that Liu Xin would send someone to chase after him, so he discussed it with Wei Zhongdao, and the team did not enter Wancheng and made a detour, so that Liu Xin would definitely not find out their whereabouts. Cai Yong was secretly proud, and a burst of dust and smoke suddenly rose behind him.
