Chapter 40: In front of Cai's Mansion

Cai Yan's recruitment is scheduled for October 15.

It was a sunny day.

Dong Shouye and his follower Dian Wei went to Cai's Mansion with some treasures carefully selected from his father Dong Zhuo's treasure house. The treasure Dong Shouye picked was not gold and silver jewelry, but some antiques such as unique authentic works. Literary and artistic youths like Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter value not gold and silver treasures, but the authentic works of someone in the Spring and Autumn Period, the solitary book of someone in the Qin Kingdom, or something. Just like the rich people now collect some antique calligraphy and paintings, they play with the tune of literary and artistic youth.

Asking for something to do things also needs to do what they like, let alone wanting to ask for relatives?

It is estimated that the threshold of Caifu is about to be broken now, and frankly speaking, Dong Shouye is really a little nervous, and there are many competitors. Although Dong Shouye also said to himself ruthlessly, if the fight in Cai's Mansion failed, he would use martial arts to pull hundreds of thousands of people from the Xiliang Army directly to Cai's Mansion to rob his relatives and see who dared to fight with him. That's just a momentary statement, and it can't be taken seriously. Dong Shouye, as a person with modern thinking, really can't do this kind of thing, and he can only think about it in his head.

Dong Shouye was a little nervous along the way.

Chang'an City is so big, and Caifu is in front of you.

Dong Shouye looked towards Cai's Mansion from a distance not far from Cai's Mansion, I'll go, that person, it's really a lot. In the words of the sketch, it is: "That guy, the big scene, it is really noisy gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags, and crowds."

It can be said that the children of well-known families in Chang'an City, or some famous second ancestors, gentlemen, or rich second generations all came to cheer Cai Yan's beauty. Many of these people feel that they have no hope, but they still come hard, maybe if they are lucky, Caifu's progress is fanciful?

This Cai Yong is also capable enough and has a big face, and he actually invited Ma Riyan to be a deacon to welcome guests in front of the mansion, and there is another person next to him, Dong Shouye, who does not know.

I saw the great god Ma Riyan stop at the door, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became a lot quieter. The second ancestor who came to participate in the recruitment today, the second generation of officials and their fathers are all perennial in the officialdom, and they all know Ma Ripan, so many of these children know Ma Ripan, and they don't dare to make a mistake when they see Ma Riyan standing in front of the mansion, and they greet Ma Riyan honestly one by one and obey Ma Ripan's arrangement.

The reason why Cai Yong invited Ma Riyan to be the welcoming deacon was not because of Cai Yong's ability, but because the two were close friends, especially in literature, they admired and respected each other. When Ma Riyan heard that Cai Yong's daughter, the strange woman Cai Yan was going to recruit relatives in the house, he felt very surprised and very novel, so he took the initiative to ask for help.

Although the people of the Han Dynasty admired Confucianism, they were still relatively open and enterprising on the whole, so I think Ma Riyan, a great Confucian, had a more approving attitude towards many novelties, unlike the later development of Confucianism, which was a bit deformed, too repressive and conservative.

Dong Shouye led Dian Wei to the door of Cai's mansion, saluted Ma Riyan, and said, "Shouye has seen Ma Taiwei!" ”

Seeing Dong Shouye coming, Ma Riyan's face was obviously stunned, and he secretly said in his heart: "Why is this little demon king here, how can this be good?" Suddenly he was a little worried in his heart, but he didn't come out, he stepped forward to help Dong Shouye and said, "Shouye Gongzi is polite, please inside!" ”

Dong Shouye didn't move forward immediately, but pointed to the scribe next to Ma Riyan and asked, "I don't know who this is?" ”

Ma Riyan was stunned again, then reacted, and said to Dong Shouye with a smile: "Come on, come on, Shouye, the old man will introduce you to you, this is the descendant of the Confucian family, the world's famous Confucian Kong Rong." ”

Dong Shouye was shocked, he didn't expect to meet the well-known brother Rangli in the world today, Dong Shouye also studied the story of Kong Rong Rangli in the textbook of the 21st generation, that is a moral model, we Chinese have studied for thousands of years! Out of curiosity, or for other reasons, Dong Shouye hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and said, "Dong Bai Dong Shouye has seen Mr. Kong!" ”

Seeing this, Ma Riyan hurriedly said to Kong Rong: "Wenju, this is the son of the imperial master!" ”

That Kong Rong snorted, and said: "It's a good talent, he can be regarded as a rising star, and he is also a leader among young people, but it's a pity that he didn't live in a good family." ”

Dong Shouye was furious when he heard this, what does it mean to not be born in a good family, Kong Rong doesn't mean that Sang scolded Huai and changed his way to insult his father Dong Zhuo? It's really unbearable, I immediately put up my arms and immediately had a body language exchange with Kong Rong.

Ma Riyan was shocked when he saw this, and secretly cried bitterly: "Why are these two ancestors torn up, Kong Wenju is yours, why do you want to provoke this little demon king?" Hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Dong Shouye and said, "Forgive me, this Kong Wenju has always been like this, please forgive me." ”

It is impossible for Dong Shouye to really beat Kong Rong in this public place, as soon as Ma Riyan pulled the fight, Dong Shouye could be regarded as having a step down, so he said to Kong Rong: "Your Excellency has given birth to a good family, and Yu Yin has been sheltered for nearly a thousand years!" ”

Kong Rong was stunned for a moment, immediately annoyed, and was about to open his mouth to fight back, but then he was stunned, opened his mouth and laughed, and said to Dong Shouye: "Your Excellency has a mouth full of sharp teeth, but Dong Zhongying has given birth to a good son, interesting and interesting!" After a pause, he saluted Dong Shouye and sang a promise: "Today is Kong's speech, but your doll is really interesting!" ”

Dong Shouye had also heard of Kong Rong's stinky temper, so he didn't say much at the moment, and after saying hello, he walked to the house.

Ma Riyan next to him saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and suddenly felt that a little heart could hardly bear it, but fortunately the two sides did not fight.

Seeing that Dong Shouye had left, he complained to Kong Rong: "Wenju, how can you provoke him today?" ”

This hole melted freely, and said casually: "Anyway, being idle is idle!" ”

Seeing Kong Rong's careless appearance, Ma Riyan had no choice but to sigh and continue to greet the guests.

Kong Rong was silent for a while, but suddenly said: "Uncle Weng, which one do you like about the thousands of daughters in Cai Bokai's Mansion today?" ”

Ma Riyan thought for a while and said: "The old man has seen the Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family, this person is talented, full of wealth, which is very in line with the old man's appetite, and the old man thinks that this person will most likely hold a beauty." ”

Kong Rong smiled and said, "In my opinion, this Dong Gongzi is afraid that this is the biggest variable in this recruitment, you and I might as well wait and see!" ”

When Ma Riyan heard this, he sighed and did not speak.
