Chapter 61: Marriage

Cai Wenji thought that after Liu Yuan broke the city, he would come to see him immediately. However, it has been two days, and Liu Yuan didn't wait, but waited for the Wei family to propose again.

Brother Liu Yuan, have you forgotten Yan'er? Yan'er can't hold on anymore!

At this time, someone told him that Liu Yuan, the Taishou of Wu County, came to visit.

Too much to guard Liu Yuan? How could he come to see me? Cai Yong walked out of the inner room with doubts. Taishou came to the door in person, and there was no reason why he didn't see him.

Brother Liu Yuan, you are finally here. Do you know that Yan'er has been waiting for her eyes to pierce. After Cai Yong left, Cai Wenji couldn't hold back her excitement and cried with joy.

In the living room of Cai's mansion, Cai Yong and Liu Yuan sat opposite each other.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Cai Yong asked: "I don't know if Lord Taishou came to the cold house, what do you think?" ”

Liu Yuandao: "I heard that Ling Aiwenji has won the true biography of Cai Shilang, has both ability and political integrity, and is very admired by contemptible people, so I came to hire him, and I hope that Lord Shilang will agree." ”

With Liu Yuan's current identity as General Jianwei and Taishou, he is completely worthy of Cai Wenji. So Liu Yuan went straight to the point, he didn't want to wait for a moment.

Liu Yuan actually came to hire, Cai Yong didn't expect it.

How can my daughter, who is knowledgeable, worthy of a reckless man? Cai Yong, as a great Confucian in the world, emphasizes literature over martial arts. He was extremely reluctant to marry his daughter to a military general like Liu Yuan.

"It's not a secret, the little girl Wenji has promised to be married to the Hedong Wei family, and the general is a step late." Cai Yong said.

"When did you get married?" Liu Yuan hurriedly asked.

Yan'er, I'm already fast, am I still a step too late?

"On the fifth day of the first month of next month, the Wei family will come to marry." Cai Yong said truthfully.

"That is, you haven't married yet?" Listening to Cai Yong's words, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"The dowry has been made, and there is no possibility of changing it." Cai Yong said.

From the beginning of the meeting, although Cai Yong was enthusiastic on the surface, he gave Liu Yuan a sense of distance. Seeing Cai Yong's tone so firm, Liu Yuan knew that he would not agree to Cai Wenji marrying him.

"In this case, Liu Yuan has taken his leave." Liu Yuan didn't say much, and left with everyone and the dowry.

So easy to go? It's kind of self-aware. Seeing this, although Cai Yong was surprised, he didn't think much about it.

After hearing that Liu Yuan had arrived, Cai Wenji hurriedly dressed up. may be about to meet Brother Liu Yuan, her heart is like a rabbit.

Big brother, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Yan'er wants to show you the best side.

An hour later, Liu was far from arriving; Two hours later, Liu Yuan still hadn't arrived. Cai Wenji realized that something was wrong.

After questioning the next person, I learned that Liu Yuan's proposal was rejected by his father.

Hearing the news, Cai Wenji was hit hard and almost fainted to the ground, but fortunately she was held up by the maid.

After that, she closed the door and thought about it for a long time.

Liu Yuan was depressed, didn't say a word along the way, and returned to Taishou Mansion.

He called Zhu Wu and gave a few orders. Zhu Wu did as he was told.

Liu Yuan sneered in his heart. Now that I control the situation in the entire Wu County, if I can't even keep my daughter-in-law, I will just find a piece of tofu and kill me.

Cai Shilang, you just wait to be my father-in-law!

Wei Zhongdao, your life won't last long, I can't let Yan'er destroy it in your hands!

In the middle of the night, a figure quickly rushed into Cai's mansion, and after a while, it rushed out again. In Cai's house, no one found anything abnormal.

Early the next morning, Cai Wenji woke up and found a letter on the dresser. She looked at it with a look of surprise on her face. After reading it carefully, it was burned.

In the evening, she placed her handwritten letter on the dresser, lay down in her clothes, and looked at the dresser with wide eyes.

Two hours later, a dark shadow flashed in, picked up the letter and left.

Cai Wenji saw it in her eyes. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, she heard no movement, and she fell asleep.

More than ten days later, a procession was slowly moving. A young man was thin and pale, dressed in a red robe, and rode on a horse. It should be the bridegroom-to-be.

"Let's work hard, walk another fifty miles, and we will arrive at Wu County." After the bridegroom finished speaking, he kept coughing.

His subordinates agreed again and again.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a team of hundreds of people rushed out.

"Leave your belongings, and the man can get out." The first is a man in his thirties.

"Robber!" The bridegroom was taken aback and his face became even paler.

His retinue also became trembling.

"In broad daylight, blocking the road and robbing, there is no royal law!" An attendant barely shouted.

"Humph! Wang Fa? Lao Tzu is the king's law! The leader of the big man didn't say more, and rode his horse to the welcoming team.

The team followed him closely.

In the face of this kind of robbers who draw their swords at the slightest disagreement, the greeting team scattered and fled. Most of them are ordinary people who don't know any martial arts, how dare they fight?

The bridegroom even rode his horse and fled in embarrassment.

"With this little ability, I dare to rob a woman with my lord." The big man laughed.

The subordinates also coaxed.

"General Meng is majestic, and he has won a great victory with his momentum alone." One person walked out of the team and said to Dahan......

"Master Zhu Jun's words are serious, how much effort is needed to deal with these mediocre people." Dahan Road.

"We continue to hide, guard this path, and not let any mistakes occur with the characters this time." The military advisor gave orders to the crowd.

The team quickly faded away.

On the fifth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the agreed wedding day arrived. Cai's mansion is lit up.

Cai Yong sat in the middle of the house and waited. Until the evening, not a single person came to greet the relatives. Cai Yong's face became more and more gloomy.

Cai Wenji, who was in the boudoir, secretly lifted the red hijab. It was only at this moment that she breathed a sigh of relief.

On the second day, Cai Yong came to the gate of Taishou Mansion alone.

"I'm going to see Taishou." Cai Yong's face was angry.

Liu Yuan, who was watching the training at the school, quickly got the news. After hesitating, he immediately met with Cai Yong.

After all, he is the future father-in-law, and he can't be offended too ruthlessly.

"Taishou, let me ask you, why hasn't the Hedong Wei family's welcoming team arrived?" Cai Yong directly questioned Liu Yuan.

"Why is Cai Shilang angry? The Wei family's welcoming team has not arrived, what does it have to do with me? Liu Yuan had an inexplicable expression.

"How can Taishou deceive the old man? Except for the general, no one will intercept the greeting party. ”

"The Wei family is delayed, is it because of the robbers on the road? After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the number of thieves increased. ”

No matter how he was questioned, Liu Yuan never admitted that he had intercepted the Wei family greeting team. Without evidence, Cai Yong can't help him.

Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world and has a great reputation. Liu Yuan is not stupid, how can he not know that he will be scolded by the world if he admits it to his face?

And now that the imperial court still has a certain amount of prestige, how dare Liu Yuan risk the disapproval of the world?

Cai Yong saw that Liu Yuan had been playing Tai Chi with him, until it was useless to entangle again, so he threw off his sleeves and left.

Under Liu Yuan's jurisdiction, what can he do? There is no evidence, and there is no way to ask for help. Moreover, he was framed and avoided goods in Wu County, and he did not have the capital to fight against Liu Yuan.
