In fact, Dong Shouye was shocked at the first sight of Cai Yan, he was already moved at that time, and secretly vowed to do his best to marry Cai Yan and fly together.

Dong Shouye, a close relative, did not believe in love at first sight, but the appearance of Cai Yan completely changed Dong Shouye's concept.

It turns out that there is really a kind of beauty called Alluring the country and the city.

After being instigated by his subordinate Wenwu, Dong Shouye made a decision to participate in Cai Yan's recruitment.

Of course, some people here may ask, this Dong Shouye obviously likes Cai Yan very much, so why don't he directly express his attitude in front of his subordinate Wen Wu. In fact, this is a question of leadership. Once a boss shows his attitude before the meeting, there is no need to continue the meeting, because as a subordinate, in most cases he is unwilling to disobey his boss's wishes. The leader expressed his opinions clearly, and most of his subordinates raised their hands and feet in agreement, or waved the flag and shouted, beating drums and cheering. It is rare for someone to speak out against the leader's opinion without opening his eyes. Even if there is an opinion, it will be raised in private, and choose to maintain the face and majesty of the leader in front of everyone. Unless it is something that is not eye-opening or has a particularly low emotional intelligence, it will do so, or it is pure to find something and rush to find the dead.

After Dong Shouye made a decision, he went to see his father Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were discussing in the conference hall, and when they saw Dong Shouye coming, they asked with a smile: "Shouye, this time is it for Cai Zhonglang's mansion to recruit relatives?" ”

Dong Shouye scratched his head, looked a little embarrassed, bowed to Dong Zhuo, and said, "Father is wise, and the child is here for this matter. The child wants to ask his father, but he is willing to go to Cai's mansion to participate in recruiting relatives. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "This fact is a rare good thing, how can a father speak out against it?" For my father, I heard that the daughter of Cai Zhonglang's house is named Cai Yan, who is a strange woman, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since he came to Chang'an City a year ago, he has made a great name in the literary world, and many people call him Zhuo Wenjun's rebirth. And his talent is valued by some of the great Confucians of the time, and many old Confucian students have friends with their peers and call him Cai Dajia. If my son can marry this woman as his wife, it can be regarded as the manifestation of the ancestor of our old Dong family. ”

Why do you say this, because Dong Zhuo and the Dong family have never married any daughters for several generations, let alone a talented woman like Cai Yan, who is a poet and book heirloom and full of wealth, and even Dong Zhuo's own wife is just the daughter of a Qiang tycoon, so there is such a saying.

When Dong Shouye heard his father say this, he was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "It's not so exaggerated!" The reason why he was so dismissive was because of the influence of later generations' thinking, and he didn't pay much attention to the strict boundaries between the big family and the Shu family. And Dong Zhuo, as a native of the Shu family, has a very strong feeling.

Dong Shouye then said: "I didn't expect this Cai Yan to have such a big reputation in Chang'an City. ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Cai Yan, this little girl, is indeed very famous, and it can be said that she is famous in Chang'an City. And Cai Yan's little girl is both talented and beautiful, my son is young and promising, and he is famous as a young man, galloping across the field. This man and woman are a match made in heaven! After saying that, he laughed.

Dong Shouye saw his father Dong Zhuo's happy appearance, and said secretly: "This hasn't been done yet, so I'm happy to be like this, I'm too confident in me!" Then he turned to Li Ru and asked: "Brother-in-law, isn't this marriage event about the life of a parent and the words of a matchmaker?" Why did Cai Fu suddenly announce the recruitment of relatives? ”

After listening to this, Li Ru smiled and said, "I am also very strange about this matter. It stands to reason that Cai Zhonglang's poems and books are heirlooms, and his family education is very strict, so it is a bit unreasonable. Later, when I inquired, I learned that this qiē was Miss Cai's attention. Previously, Cai Yong intended to marry Cai Yan to his disciple Wei Zhongdao, who was the second son of the Hedong Wei family, and was also a talented and wealthy man. But although this Wei Zhongdao is talented, he is not virtuous, rebellious, and unruly. To say that these problems are just some minor problems, what is said is good, people are not mischievous. Wei Zhongdao's little problems are easy to talk about if they meet others, but this Cai Yan is a high-minded and arrogant master, and he is a little dissatisfied with Wei Zhongdao's small problems. This Cai Yan is also a thoughtful person, and she didn't say that she was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongdao, but she proposed to her father Cai Yong that she hoped that her future husband would be more talented than herself, simply put, poetry and articles were better than herself. Cai Yong couldn't find any reason to refute, so he had no choice but to discuss with Cai Yan a drama to recruit relatives, to meet friends with texts, and to recruit relatives with texts. ”

Dong Shouye said: "I see. ”

Li Ru smiled and said: "Shouye, there are many opponents who recruit you this time, many of them are young talents, and several young people who are famous will participate." Wei Zhongdao will definitely participate, others such as Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu, Cai Yong's new disciple Wang Cang, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan, Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, Liu Yan's son Liu Dan and so on. ”

Dong Shouye suddenly felt a little depressed, he didn't expect to find a wife and have so many rivals, all of them are not simple characters, it seems that if he doesn't work hard, he really won't be able to take his turn. said in his mouth: "Father, eldest brother-in-law, and relax, Shouye must be up to twelve points, show all these years of hard study, defeat one strong enemy after another, and finally return with a beauty." ”

Dong Zhuo heard this, and laughed and said: "My son is ambitious, my son Dong Zhuo is definitely the best, ten times stronger than those sons of the family." ”

After finishing speaking, he paused, and said to Li Ru: "Wenyou, at this time, Dong Shouye's participation in recruiting relatives is a matter of importance, and he must be well prepared in advance. So, you can choose some treasures from the treasury as gifts. Those sons of the family are all wealthy, the family has a deep heritage, how can they go empty-handed to recruit relatives, they will definitely carry heavy treasures, as the capital of Jinjian, we can't lag behind in this regard, don't let the sons of those big families see my son clearly. ”

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Taishi, please rest assured, this matter is on the son-in-law." ”

When it comes to choosing gifts, Dong Shouye is a layman, but he can't compare with Li Ru in this regard, so Dong Shouye didn't shirk it, and followed Li Ru to the treasury to choose treasures.

This so-called treasury is also the gold and silver treasures obtained by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang before, and Dong Shouye does not need to use it in vain, and it is also used in vain.
