When Liu He left from the Zhao Mansion, his original entangled and depressed mood was completely empty, as if he had changed people.

Perhaps, he would never have thought that he would go to Macheng a few days before he returned to Jicheng, because the person who sent Zhao should go out of Lu was Liu Yu!

When children, don't underestimate the "gossip" heart of parents at any time, of course, parents secretly care about their children, most of them are still in care and love, not deliberately want to inquire and find something. After all, tiger poison does not eat children, and there are many children in the world who do not respect their parents, but there are very few parents who abandon their children.

Even if a powerful minister like Liu Yu attaches great importance to his son's marriage and emotional entanglements, how can he not see the ambiguity between Liu He and Zhao Ai'er in his eyes?

Who hasn't been young? Those things for men and women, I think Master Taifu has also experienced it at the beginning, he just sees that his son can be decisive and calm in dealing with other things, but he is a little timid in terms of children's affection, which can make people sweat in a hurry!

Isn't a flower-like woman for a young hero like her son? Since you like it in your heart, let's go up! Those who were afraid of tigers and wolves in the first place will cause a lot of resentment in the end, how can it be done by heroes? Who said that after sleeping with the woman you like, you must marry someone back home? It's normal for a man to have a confidante or something outside the house!

This is the Han Dynasty, even if it has reached the point of decline, it still does not completely imprison human nature, far from the sanctimonious rancid social etiquette that was poisoned by Cheng Zhuli in later generations!

Liu He sat in the carriage and pondered for a while, and then he had an idea, he asked Yan Laosi to drive the carriage to the Han Mansion, and then entered the mansion to visit Han Fu. After a while, Liu He came out and drove in a carriage towards Yenching University, which was under construction.

Shortly after Liu He left from Han Fu. Han Fu sent people to Cai Mansion to invite university scholars to come over to the mansion to talk, mainly to discuss the enrollment of Youyan Academy.

The construction of Yenching University takes a long time, because the university occupies a huge area, and it takes time to build various venues and facilities, but it will be much easier to build a small academy that can accommodate 100 people, and it will only take about half a year to complete. As Cai Yong's special academy, Youyan Academy began to be built after Cai Yong came to Youzhou, and now it has been basically completed, and it can be officially opened for apprenticeship after the first batch of students are recruited.

After Cai Yong received Han Fu's invitation. He put down the scroll in his hand and rode out of the mansion in the ox cart that Liu He gave him, and after a while, he turned the corner.

Not long after Cai Yong left, Liu He's car came from another street, and it seemed that the time card was very accurate, it was simply the front and rear feet, and there was no delay at all.

The guards in Cai's Mansion were all soldiers in the Dragon and Tiger Guard Guard Battalion, and after they saw the main general Liu He, they naturally didn't dare to ask more than half a word, so they quickly made a way and put Liu He into Cai's Mansion. Then he stood in front of the door of the mansion with a serious face, to prevent any Xiaoxiao from coming to disturb the meeting between Gongzi and Miss Cai at this time!

The melodious sound of the piano came from the backyard of Cai's house, but if you stopped and listened carefully, you would feel a faint sense of resentment and irritability permeating it. Although Liu He is not good at music. But at the beginning, in order to be able to blend in with the ranks of people's teachers, the basic skills of blowing, playing and singing were still learned, so I could hear some of the skin.

"Oh, this damn girl. You're clearly complaining about me! Liu He put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the back garden of Cai's mansion.

After several clever servants along the road saw Liu He, they knelt down on their knees and kowtowed to him to thank him. Liu He hurriedly waved his hand and whispered to stop: "Don't make a noise, go and busy yourself, I'm here to talk to Miss today!" ”

The few servants kneeling on the ground were the slaves that Liu He brought back from Juyong County, and now they have been left in Cai's mansion, which can be regarded as changing from slaves to people, although their status is not high, but compared with the life of pigs and dogs in the past, it has changed dramatically.

In the back garden, it is the season of flowers. Spring in the north comes later than in the south, like the most famous peony in Luoyang City, it is difficult to raise in Jicheng, and some other flowers that can be raised are also blooming half a month later than the south of the Yellow River to January.

The maid Xiaoyao was holding a fence, like a dexterous kitten, busy fluttering butterflies among the flowers and plants, while her hostess was sitting in the pavilion at this time, holding her cheeks in one hand, and plucking the strings with the other hand, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking in her heart.

When Liu He walked lightly into the back garden, neither the master nor the servant noticed his arrival.

Seeing this scene, a certain comical son suddenly remembered a few lines of poetry describing the girl's spring, so he recited aloud: "Lan Boudoir is deeply lonely, and there is no way to spend the spring." Those who are expected to chant should sigh with pity! ”

Liu He's voice sounded, and the maid Xiaoyao was so frightened that she almost threw herself into the grass, but Cai Yan, who was sitting crookedly in the pavilion, got up suddenly and turned her head to look at Liu He.

Xiao Yao was very bold, pinched her waist and came to Liu He, and said angrily: "This place is the back garden of Cai's mansion, and it is a place for women to rest, and I also ask the son to respect himself and leave quickly!" ”

Liu He looked at Xiao Yao with a wicked smile on his face, and said provocatively: "What if I don't leave?" ”

"Hmph, you—if you don't leave...... I...... I'm going to file a complaint with the university scholar! Xiao Yao found that she couldn't actually do anything about the "scoundrel" in front of her, and she suddenly lost a little confidence when she spoke.

Liu He couldn't help but stretch out his hands and pinch Xiao Yao's bulging little face, and then before the little girl was about to cry, he quickly took out a crystal jade pig from his arms, and then stuffed it into Xiao Yao's hand and said: "Go, go to the back kitchen to make tea for me and Miss, don't catch butterflies all day long!" ”

The little girl got the benefit, her face looked better, she made a grimace at Liu He, and then ran away quickly with the white jade pig in her hand.

Xiao Yao is fifteen years old this year, and she happens to be a pig, so Liu He gave her a white jade pig, but she didn't mean to eat all the master and servant, that is, she was regarded as a cute little sister.

After sending Xiao Yao away, Liu He walked quickly to the pavilion, and without waiting for Cai Yan to refuse, he took her in his arms.

Between men and women, they may also pay attention to one thing and one thing, Liu He is like an honest and obedient little brother when facing Zhao Ai'er, but when facing Sister Cai, he is like a domineering husband. No, Cai Yan, who was still angry with Liu He, was held in Liu He's arms for a while, and his anger disappeared a lot.

"I only went out of Lu a year ago, and I went out for so long a year later, do you still have anyone in your heart?" Cai Yan poked Liu He's chest with his finger and asked faintly.

"My heart is full of you! Whenever I go out, I think to myself: If Zhao Ji is by my side, I don't have to work so hard, she will handle all kinds of official documents for me, make my bed at night, and cook me sobering soup when I am drunk......"

Liu He is not purely trying to please Cai Yan at this time, what he said is true, when Cai Yan is by his side as his personal female secretary, many things really don't need to worry too much, like Cai Wenji, a woman who is rare in a thousand years and has both talent and appearance, is really a good fit for work and life.

Cai Yan listened to Liu He's true confession, and her mood gradually improved, she asked Liu He: "My father was still studying in the study just now, and suddenly received an invitation from the Han Mansion and hurriedly went out, did you do something?" ”

"Hey, although you are a well-known talented woman, you must also pay attention to the words! How can I say that I did it? I just went to Hanfu and told Hanzhou Mu what I thought about Youyan Academy. Liu He didn't admit it.

"Then what are you coming to see me for today?" Cai Yan opened a pair of big smart eyes and stared at Liu He's eyes tightly.

"Of course, it's for our marriage!" Liu He replied with a serious face.

Cai Yan didn't expect Liu He to speak so directly, so he quickly covered his cheeks with his hands. "Oh, shame on you! Isn't the marriage decided by my father and Mrs. Taifu, how can we make a private decision for life! ”

"How can it be privately determined for life? You forgot that when you were in Chang'an, Ma Taiwei had already come to my door to propose a kiss for me, what I want to do now is to choose a good day and use a big sedan chair to carry you from Cai's Mansion to Taifu's Mansion! ”

"Big sedan chair?" Sister Cai looked confused and puzzled by this new word.

Liu He suddenly remembered that the custom of women marrying and sitting in a sedan chair seemed to have begun to rise in the late Tang Dynasty.

But this is better, the more Cai Yan has never seen what the sedan chair is like, the more Liu He can surprise her on the day of the wedding.

The two hugged each other tightly in the pavilion, and Qingqing talked for a long time, until the maid Xiaoyao couldn't help but break in with a tea set, and then they separated.

Liu He told Cai Yan about the troubles he encountered in his marriage, but he patted his chest and promised that he would definitely be the first to welcome Cai Yan over the mansion, and that Cai Yan would have the highest status in the mansion in the future, but he did not mention the topic of the wife and the eldest wife.

Cai Yan Bingxue was smart and quickly understood what Liu He meant, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, but for Liu He's sake of making a sedan chair for herself that the world had never seen, she still forgave this flowery turnip, and promised to help Liu He persuade the university scholar after Cai Yong came back, so as not to get Cai Yong to twist a good thing there.

In fact, since Cai Yan met Zhao Ai'er, she knew a lot about Liu He, she thought she had fully understood Liu He, but after carefully recalling this time, she realized that the man she was going to marry actually had an indescribable and unclear mystery.

This mystery is not indifference and rejection, nor is it insidious and estranged, but a temptation that feels fatal, and once attracted to it, there is no escape...... (To be continued......)
