Liu Ze tried to stabilize his breath. "Yan'er, I don't know what you've experienced over the years, but I can see that you are very painful and depressed, you have been avoiding, since you left Chang'an, you have been evading, avoiding my gaze, escaping my care, escaping a qiē about me! Why? Do I really have to be that scary? Or maybe you haven't forgotten me at all in the past eight years? ”

His gaze was scorching, Cai Yan subconsciously lowered his head, avoided his fiery gaze, and said in a flickering voice: "No...... No...... How could it be ......"

Liu Ze held her hand tightly and said: "Yan'er, there are many things in life that cannot be solved by escaping, such as feelings, in the past eight years, I have tried hard to convince myself to give up this relationship with you, but I failed, I can let go of everything, the only thing that I can't let go of is this relationship, I came all the way, I just don't want my beloved woman to be devastated in turn." Yan'er, let him pass in the past, from now on, I will not let you be hurt even a little bit, I am willing to use my life to take care of you, shelter you from the wind and rain, are you willing? ”

Cai Yan was stunned, his words were so fierce, his feelings were so sincere, she could barely breathe.

Liu Ze stared at her with affectionate eyes and threw out a killer idea, although this passage was copied from later generations, its lethality was absolutely incomparable. "There was once a sincere relationship in front of me, I didn't cherish it, but when I lost it, I regretted it, and the regret of life was nothing more than that. If God gave me another chance, I would say I love you to this girl. If I had to add a deadline to this, I would like it to be 10,000 years! ”

Cai Yan's tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, she couldn't suppress her emotions anymore, just like a small pebble thrown into a pool of calm and waveless water, causing layers of ripples, she threw herself into Liu Ze's arms and cried loudly.

Although Liu Ze didn't say a few words to Cai Yan along the way, he privately asked Cai Yan's maid Huan Ning'er, and Ning Er once told Cai Yan about his situation in the past few years. Cai Yan has hardly laughed since marrying into the Hedong Wei family. I've been frowning. Her husband Wei Zhongdao is a sick seedling, yellow, hungry and thin, sickly, and waits for big and small medicine jars all day long. But that's it. Wei Zhongdao still left a year later. The Wei family couldn't look down on this daughter-in-law who was sad all day long. After Wei Zhongdao died, he frowned coldly, saying that she was Kefu's broom star. Cai Yan ignored the opposition of the Wei family and his father Cai Yong, resolutely left the Wei family in Hedong and returned to Chen Liu's hometown with Ning'er. When the yellow scarves were in turmoil, a short journey home became bumpy and arduous, and the master and servant returned to Chen Liu's hometown after a difficult trek of nine deaths and a lifetime.

Speaking of this, even after many years, Ning Er still had palpitations, saying that their young lady was blessed with a great life, so she could be regarded as returning to Chen Liu safely. Later, Cai Yong was recruited by Dong Zhuo, and was not allowed to enter Luoyang as an official, so he returned to Chang'an, but he never thought that Dong Zhuo was killed, Cai Yong was convicted and imprisoned, and the whole family was also punished, but fortunately Liu Ze appeared in time to be saved.

Liu Ze couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, Cai Yan knew that the world was difficult, but he resolutely left the Wei family, which shows how much the Wei family hurt her, in the Wei family for more than a year, how much grievances and suffering Cai Yan has endured, although Liu Ze does not know, but he was still deeply moved by Cai Yan's story, and secretly vowed to use all his life to protect her and never let her suffer a little more harm.

"Yan'er, follow me." Liu Ze whispered in her ear, Cai Yan was slightly stunned, Liu Ze didn't say anything more, tightly pulled her wrist, went down a high slope, and came straight to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was looking at the ferry by the Yellow River, but when he saw Liu Ze and Cai Yan coming hand in hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, and before he could speak, Liu Ze knelt straight in front of him, Cai Yan was pulled by his wrist, and he knelt down involuntarily. Cai Yong was even more puzzled and said, "You ...... What does this mean? ”

Liu Ze said solemnly: "Teacher, the disciple admires Sister Yan'er and has a good reputation, and is willing to marry Sister Yan'er as his wife, and vows to protect her with his life, and never let her suffer a trace of grievance and harm again, and ask the teacher to be fulfilled." ”

Cai Yong was stunned, he couldn't figure out which one Liu Ze was singing. Although it is said that women in the Han Dynasty do not pay much attention to the honor, and it is common for widows to remarry, but basically it is for men to continue the strings, and it is rare for men to choose widows as their wives for the first time, especially men with reputation and status, usually choose the daughters of famous ladies to be their wives, and their status is matched, such as the current Liu Ze, a nobleman of the Han family, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and the real diamond king Lao Wu, but he actually asked to marry the widowed Cai Yan as his wife, how not to surprise Cai Yong.

"Runde, you are ......"

"Please forgive the disciple's abruptness, as early as Luoyang, the disciple secretly had feelings for Yan'er's sister, only sighed that the world has changed and made people, so that Yan'er's sister has suffered for so many years, the disciple thought about it for a long time, and then dared to ask the teacher for kissing, hoping that the teacher would be gracious."

Cai Yong seems to have realized, could it be that Cai Yan's insistence on refusing to marry into the Wei family was because of Liu Ze, could it be that the two had already made a heart-to-heart agreement and secretly passed on Qiubo? Cai Yong regarded Cai Yan as the pearl of his palm since he was a child, and he loved and pity, and Cai Yong was full of guilt in the matter of her marrying the Hedong Wei family, and it was his arbitrariness that caused Cai Yan's marriage tragedy. But he never expected that Cai Yan would have a personal relationship with Liu Ze, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he was really negligent back then! But then again, even if he knew about the relationship between the two back then, even if Liu Ze was his extremely important disciple, could he destroy the marriage contract with the Wei family and fulfill them? For Cai Yong, who attaches great importance to etiquette, it is completely impossible.

But today, the former disciples are now a prince, and it is no longer Gao Pan to ask to marry Cai Yan, which can be described by the word almsgiving, Cai Yong can hardly find a reason to refuse, of course, he doesn't want to refuse, no matter how good he looks, his character, background, and status, such a son-in-law is difficult to find with a lantern.

"Yan'er, what do you mean?" However, Cai Yong still wants to listen to Cai Yan's opinion first.

Cai Yan's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "But it's up to my father to decide." ”

The word "master" is particularly harsh to Cai Yong's ears, his forcible decision back then made Cai Yan experience this unhappy marriage, which made her suffer endless pain, so Cai Yong was cautious about Cai Yan's remarriage. Although the people who want to marry Cai Yan have broken through the threshold in recent years, there are high-ranking officials and nobles and celebrities and Confucian scholars, but all of them want to continue the strings, Cai Yan, who is like a water, did not nod, and Cai Yong naturally did not dare to force the decision, and this delay was five or six years. Cai Yong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he only hoped that he could find a good home for Cai Yan in his lifetime and end his long-cherished wish.

At this time, Liu Ze appeared, not only as a life-saving benefactor, but also because he had a deep affection for Cai Yan, even Cai Yan acquiesced, Cai Yong seemed to have no reason to refuse, but he still hesitated for a moment and said: "Runde, I have always thought that you are the best, and Yan'er will be happy if she marries you." But have you considered it, you are now very different from Yan'er's status, you really don't have to consider the world's vision? I really don't care about Yan'er's widowhood? ”

Liu Ze looked at Cai Yan beside him with his head down, took a deep breath, held her hand tightly, and said loudly: "Teacher, I love Cai Yan'er, this relationship has not changed since I first stepped into Cai's Mansion, I don't care what the world thinks, I don't care if Yan'er has ever been married, in my heart, she will always be so ice and jade!" I, Liu Ze, would like to swear to this surging Yellow River, I will treat her with my heart, protect her with my life, and if I break my oath, let me die in the flood! ”

"Okay, good ......" Cai Yong was excited with some old tears, and said a few good words, "Yan'er has a lifelong trust, and I have no regrets even if I die." ”

Cai Yan hung his head and was silent, Liu Ze turned his head, still maintaining a kneeling posture. "Yan'er, marry me, okay?"

Cai Yan was embarrassed, with Liu Ze's identity, how could she stand such a big gift, and said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Runde, get up and speak." ”

This way of kneeling on one knee to propose marriage is the common etiquette of the later generations in which Liu Ze lived, for Liu Ze, proposing to a beautiful woman in this way represents his sincerity, and a goddess like Cai Yan is definitely worthy of his gift. "If Yan'er doesn't agree, I'm willing to kneel and die here."

Cai Yan's face flushed with a flush, exhaled like an orchid, and said softly: "Grateful for your sincerity, Yan'er is willing to pay for it with her life, I just hope that your heart is like my heart, don't let it down." ”

Seeing that Cai Yan agreed, Liu Ze was overjoyed, jumped up, took Cai Yan's hand, and said, "Yan'er, don't worry, I will never lose in this life!" ”

Cai Yan nodded shyly, and her frowning brows were also stretched.

"Well, my sister is finally getting married." Cai Qin came out of nowhere, laughing and screaming weirdly, and said to Liu Ze: "Can I call you brother-in-law?" ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "This is natural. ”

Cai Yan shouted in a low voice: "Qin'er, don't be rude. ”

Cai Qin pouted and said angrily: "Sure enough, the girl is outgoing, and my sister just had a wishful husband, so she didn't care about sisterhood." ”

Cai Yan's face flushed slightly, and said, "You-"

Liu Ze grabbed her and said with a smile: "Sister Qin is still young and innocent, Yan'er, as a sister, should let her do more, not to mention Sister Qin's lively personality, I really like it." ”

Cai Qin happily pulled Liu Ze's arm and said, "It's my brother-in-law who loves me the most." (To be continued......)
