Chapter Forty-Eight: See Cai Yan Again
Cai's servant took Ao Lie and his party to the gate of the mansion, and their own subordinates went inside to report to Cai Yong.
Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, and when he saw the Cai Mansion plaque hanging on the door of the mansion, he couldn't help but think of Cai Yan again, the six-year appointment has finally arrived, and I don't know how Cai Yan is now, I guess it has become more beautiful, right? The art of the piano should also have grown greatly.
Cai's mansion is not big, and there are three courtyards before and after, but the layout of the mansion is elegant, and the landscape is often ingenious and fascinating.
As soon as Ao Lie and his party walked into the front yard, a beautiful shadow ran out of the inner courtyard and greeted Ao Lie and the others. From a distance that was not too far, Ao Lie had already seen clearly that it was Cai Yan who he often missed. After six years of growth and transformation, Cai Yan has now grown into a big girl, slim and beautiful.
Zhao Yun and the others saw Cai Yan for the first time, and quietly looked at the lovely person in front of them. Bright eyes and bright teeth, ice muscles and jade bones, no powder on the face, but the skin is like the morning glow reflecting the snow, it can really be said that the country is overwhelmed. Zhao Yun was happy in his heart, and secretly thought: Only this woman in the world today can be worthy of being a senior brother.
Ao Lie silently looked at Cai Yan in front of him, and had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word. As if sensing Ao Lie's thoughts, Cai Yan gently moved the lotus step, and slowly walked in front of Ao Lie, his eyes flashed with a slight crystalline, and he didn't say anything, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, and helped Ao Lie gently wipe the beads of sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.
Ao Lie slowly raised his hand, held Cai Yan's jade hand, and then took Cai Yan's hand and placed it on his left chest. Feeling Ao Lie's heart beating strongly, the tears in Cai Yan's eyes fell suddenly, and he pressed Ao Lie's chest slightly, and then nodded lightly. The two didn't say anything to each other, but they both understood their lover's intentions, and it seemed that a thousand words were expressed in an action of the two.
At this time, silence is better than sound, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!
Just when the two lovers were silently lingering, an inopportune laugh interrupted the warmth of the two: "Mo Han is here?" Why don't you hurry into the inner house, what are you doing standing outside? ”
Looking up, Cai Yong was wearing a Confucian robe and stroking his beard. When he saw that Cai Yan had already taken a step ahead of himself to greet Ao Lie, his eyes were immediately full of smiles, looking at Ao Lie and Cai Yan, smiling and silent.
Cai Yong's pretty face flushed, Cai Yan hurriedly withdrew the jade hand placed on Ao Lie's left chest, and stood by Ao Lie's side shyly. Ao Lie was also a little ashamed, but after thinking about it, Cai Yan was about to become his wife, so what was there to be ashamed of? So he didn't bother anymore, and bent down to Cai Yong generously: "Uncle came to welcome the little nephew again, and the little nephew didn't dare to be ashamed." ”
Cai Yong's gaze deliberately glanced back and forth between Ao Lie's left chest and Cai Yan's jade hand, and then said with a smile: "Why, you kissed me just now, but when you saw me coming, you became jerky?" ”
Cai Yan's face became even more embarrassed when he heard this, and he gave Cai Yong a white eye in disgust, then stomped his feet and ran to the backyard as if he was running away.
Looking at Cai Yan's back as he ran away, Cai Yong turned to Ao Lie and said, "To this day, do you still call me uncle?" ”
Hearing Cai Yong's words, Ao Lie's face couldn't help but flush, and he saluted Cai Yong again: "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law." ”
"Ha Lu Ha. Okay, okay, that's right, let's go inside and talk. Cai Yong smiled and pulled Ao Lie towards the inner courtyard.
The words were divided into two ends, and after Wu Xu said goodbye to Ao Lie at the north gate of Luoyang, he did not go home, but walked all the way to the palace. After the guards inspected the waist card, Wu Xu entered the palace and walked directly to the West Garden, where Emperor Ling lived. As soon as he walked into the West Garden, Wu Xu heard a burst of girlish laughter, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, although Emperor Ling now has the intention and determination to rectify the dynasty, but he has never been able to change this habit of liking beauty.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Xu said to the guards of the Imperial Forest Army standing at the door: "I'm tired of the saint, Wu Xu will return to the dynasty to restore his life." The guard turned and walked into the West Garden. After a quarter of an hour, the laughter of the women in the West Garden gradually stopped, and the Imperial Forest Army came back to beckon Wu Xu to come in and face the saint.
Wu Xu took a step and walked towards the West Garden.
Liu Hong sat on a summer chair made of ivory, watching Wu Xu come over and kneel at his feet. waved his hand to rebuke all the guards and palace maids around him, and asked in a low voice, "Aiqing has a smooth journey?" ”
Wu Xu knelt down and replied, "Holy Lord, everything is going well." Ao Huwei followed the ministers to the capital, and now lives temporarily in Cai Yilang's mansion, and the saint can summon him into the palace at any time to face the saint. ”
"Okay, Emperor Ao Lie's nephew is really here, I guess he already understands what I mean. As for entering the palace, let's postpone it for two days, let him linger with his wife who has not seen him for a long time, and I will summon him to meet him in Deyang Hall two days later, and then you will pass it on. Liu Hongxi said with a smile.
"Yes, Holy Grace, thank the Holy Lord for the minister's Ao Huwei. Retired for the minister. ”
Watching Wu Xu walk backwards, Liu Hong sincerely felt that his mood today suddenly became very comfortable. It seems that the depression that has been accumulated in his chest for a long time has also vented a lot.
At dinner time, the atmosphere in the main hall of Cai's mansion was much more lively than before. In fact, Cai Yong was widowed first in his early years, and then lost his son, and there was only Cai Yan's daughter under his knees, who was usually regarded as the pearl of his palm. Therefore, the Cai family is very withered, and there are only Cai Yong's father and daughter. Today's arrival of Ao Lie finally made the dinner table of Caifu more lively, and Zhao Yun was also present with him.
"Come on, come on, Mo Han is having a drink with me." Cai Yong pulled Ao Lie to persuade him to drink with high interest.
Ao Lie said with a wry smile: "Father-in-law, I am really too strong to drink." Since the banquet was held, Ao Lie has drunk four or five glasses of wine before and after Cai Yong's enthusiastic persuasion.
"Ha Luha, what is Mo Han talking about, how can a manly man not drink alcohol? Come on, come on, have another drink. ”
Seeing that Cai Yong still refused to give up, Ao Lie cast a distressed face to Zhao Yun for help, Zhao Yun held back a smile, deliberately threw Ao Lie a face that had nothing to do with it, and then shrugged his shoulders slightly, looking helpless.
Seeing that Zhao Yun refused to save himself, Ao Lie turned his gaze to Cai Yan again. Cai Yan pursed his lips and chuckled, and said softly: "It's rare that my father is so happy today, so my husband will accompany my father to drink a few more cups, my father hasn't been so happy for a long time." ”
After hearing Cai Yan's words, Ao Lie completely broke off his hope of asking for help, so he had to stubbornly pick up the wine glass and toast to Cai Yong: "In this case, the son-in-law is disrespectful, do it!" ”
Weng and his son-in-law went back and forth, and drank more than a dozen glasses of wine in a row, Ao Lie finally couldn't drink enough, staggered to pick up the wine glass, and wanted to toast Cai Yong with a glass, but there was a tremor in his hand, the wine glass fell off the table, Ao Lie wanted to pick up the wine glass, struggled to stand up, but felt dizzy, and then tilted his body and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun's eyes were quick, and he rushed to Ao Lie's side in one step, and stretched out his hand to support Ao Lie. Cai Yong, who was provoked on the side, laughed and said: "This kid, it turns out that he really can't drink, so it's embarrassing for him." ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly confessed to Cai Yong: "Cai Yuanjun, Senior Brother Mo Han is not strong enough to drink, so I will help him go back to the room to rest first." ”
Cai Yong smiled and nodded: "It's okay, I'll tell the kitchen to send Mo Han a bowl of sobering soup later." ”
After Zhao Yun helped Ao Lie away, Cai Yan lowered his head and played with a corner, but his mind had already drifted to Ao Lie.
Seeing Cai Yan's unyielding appearance, Cai Yong deliberately sighed heavily. Cai Yan heard his father's sigh, raised his head and asked, "Is my father angry with my husband?" Cai Yong snorted and said, "I'm not angry with Mo Han, I'm just a little emotional." ”
Cai Yan asked suspiciously, "What does my father feel about?" So that sighing? Cai Yong said: "The female university is not staying!" Seeing his husband leave drunk, his whole heart followed, where did he care about his father? As he spoke, Cai Yong couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that he was ridiculing himself, and Cai Yan wondered. couldn't help but blush his cheeks again, and he glanced at his father, refusing to speak.
Looking at his daughter, Cai Yong was very pleased. In terms of talent, Cai Yan does not lose to some famous families; In terms of appearance, I have never seen a more beautiful girl than my daughter until now. Now that her daughter has a good home, she is about to marry Ao Lie, or she will marry today, all of which makes Cai Yong feel very happy.
After raising the wine glass and drinking another glass of wine, Cai Yong said slowly: "Okay, if you don't stay, you won't stay, as long as Yan'er can have a good home, the old man will have no worries in his heart." ”
Cai Yan glanced at Cai Yong with disgust and said, "Yan'er will always be her father's daughter, even after marrying her husband, she is still her father's daughter." Why should my father sigh. ”
Cai Yong thought about it carefully, it is also the same reason, even if he is married to Ao Lie, Cai Yan is still his daughter, if he misses his daughter, just ask her to come home to visit, and in a few years, he will simply resign from his official position, and also move to Youbeiping, and live with his daughter and son-in-law.
Knocking on the table, Cai Yong said to Cai Yan with a smile: "Mo Han doesn't know how to drink, presumably he will have a headache tomorrow morning, you go and make a bowl of sobering soup and send it, if Mo Han is unwell, you have to take care of it, and you have to learn these things slowly in the future." ”
Hearing his father's words, Cai Yan hurriedly stood up as if he had been pardoned, said goodbye to Cai Yong, and then hurriedly walked to the back kitchen.
Cai Yong was stunned on the spot, and it took a while to react, it turned out that Cai Yan had already had this intention, but because he didn't speak, he didn't leave in a hurry. "Hehe, the female university is not staying, the female university is not staying." In the room, only Cai Yong was left alone, making a voice that was both relieved and sighing.
After making the decanting soup, Cai Yan didn't ask the maid to accompany him, and walked to Ao Lie's room with the soup bowl in person. When he walked to the door, it happened that Zhao Yun opened the door and walked out from inside. Seeing Cai Yan standing outside the room alone with a soup bowl, Zhao Yun hurriedly pushed open another door, and then whispered to Cai Yan: "With Miss Lao Cai, with Miss Cai's care, Yun is also relieved." The clouds are guarding outside the room, and the young lady has any orders to say hello. ”
Cai Yan blushed and said softly: "General, go and rest, just have me here." ”
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sudden look, this is Miss Cai's thin face, not wanting to let herself see him and Ao Lie alone in the room. Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Okay, Senior Brother Mo Han will be handed over to Miss, and Yun will retreat to guard outside the courtyard." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard, leaving enough space for Ao Lie and Cai Yan.
Cai Yan walked into the room with a soup bowl, and saw Ao Lie and Yi lying on the bed, and said in a daze: "Zi, Zilong, what do you think of Yan'er, uh, how is it?" Pretty, hehe, that's your sister-in-law, it's been six years, it's been six years, and finally, I've finally seen Yan'er again."
Listening to Ao Lie's nonsense, Cai Yan felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, and chuckled: "Is this the truth after drinking?" With that, he walked to Ao Lie's bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and then opened the lid of the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful of decanting soup with a spoon, and handed it to Ao Lie's mouth.
