At the end of the battle of Changshan Kingdom, Ye Teng handed over the post-war affairs of Changshan Kingdom to Chen Gong, Xie Gengxin, etc., and at the same time instructed Dian Wei and Wan Hao, together with Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai, Cao Xing and other seven major legions, to rest, upgrade, and supplement on the spot, so as to prepare for the next step of reorganization and deal with the situation of the princes starting next year!

And he himself took the time to rush back to Tianma City, because he owed Empress Dowager He an explanation, and Cai Yong's father and daughter an explanation.

Before meeting Empress Dowager He and Cai Yong's father and daughter, Ye Teng first met with Lin Feng, the political chief of Tianma City, and asked him about the situation of Empress Dowager He and Cai Yong's father and daughter for a period of time.

"Lord Qiqi, Empress Dowager He has been under the rule of my Tianma City for a long time, and she was more temperamental at first, but then she may have resigned herself to her fate, and she is always silent. According to Zuo Feng's words, among the other women who came with the Empress Dowager He, there was also a person with a noble status, who was Concubine Tang, the concubine of the late Young Emperor. Because of many layers of concerns, we only dared to tell Zuo Feng that King Hongnong was poisoned by Li Ru, but we haven't told the pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so far. Lin Feng let out a long sigh after speaking.

Soon after the young emperor Liu Wei was demoted by Dong Zhuo to the king of Hongnong, he was poisoned, and at this time everyone was preparing for the princes to fight against Dong, so no one took this matter to heart. The dignified emperor, when he died, was as silent as the common people.

Ye Teng was no longer entangled in this matter, and instead asked, "What about Cai Yong's father and daughter?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the sea, and although his daughter Cai Yan is still young, she is also famous in the imperial capital. Cai's house is poor, our offerings, they accept all the orders, but I have visited many times, Cai Yong just said a few words of greeting, I don't want to talk more, Cai Yan I have never seen. Cai Yong once asked me to bring you a message, please come over when you are free! According to Jin Yiwei's report, since settling in Tianma City, Cai Yong's father and daughter spend most of their time reading, practicing calligraphy, and playing the piano every day, just like hermits. ”

"Well, I'm very calm, and I should have gone to see them! In this way, I will rest overnight in Tianma City today, and take a shower and change clothes tomorrow morning to see Cai Yong! After all, he is a great Confucian in the sea, and he still has to give respect to what should be given. Ye Teng said with a smile.

"Then tonight, I will be in the county government to catch the wind and wash the dust for the lord!" Lin Fengdao.

"You don't have to hold a banquet, you can just have a light meal, I want to hear about the governance of Tianma City and Yanmen County for a period of time." Ye Teng said.

"Obey the orders of the lord!" Lin Feng clasped his fists and saluted, took three steps back, and then turned around and prepared to go.

In the early morning, facing the first rays of sunshine in the sky, Cai Yong spread out a quaint classic book under the gazebo in the courtyard, and the old servant Cai Hua served him a cup of tea in time.

In the early morning, because he was most energetic, he allocated his time to the classics of the sages, and since he lived in Tianma City, he began almost every day with tea tasting and studying classics. Then there is writing and reading in the morning; After the lunch break, he practiced calligraphy and raised flowers, and after nightfall, he taught his daughter to play the piano; Day in and day out, life is very regular.

Compared with the previous days when he was displaced or forced to become an official, there are fewer bumps and burdens in life, less entertainment between colleagues and friends, and less hard work, which makes his complexion more ruddy, and his spirit seems to have improved, even his daughter Cai Yan said that he has become younger and younger for a period of time.

Except for the fact that it was unpleasant and apprehensive to be moved to Tianma City by Ye Teng, everything else was satisfying. There is no shortage of living materials, and the days are leisurely, for Cai Yong, who has always been poor and happy, and takes reading, writing, writing, and playing the piano as the joy of life, there is no more ideal life than this.

"Father, did you sleep well last night?" Daughter Cai Yan, fifteen years old today, in the best years of her life, stepped on the morning light to greet her father.

"It's good to be a father, and Yan'er's spirit is also good, so I guess I had a good rest last night?" Cai Yong smiled kindly, looking warm under the early morning sun.

"Thank you father for your concern, my daughter is resting well! It's just that sometimes I want to go out and play, but you don't let me, it's a bit boring. But seeing that her father didn't have to mess with those annoying things, Yan'er was very happy in her heart. Cai Yan nodded sensibly.

"What a good boy!" Cai Yong said.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Cai Mansion hurriedly entered the back garden and reported from afar: "Master, the Lord of Tianma City Ye City asks to see you!" ”

"Oh, invite him to the hall for tea! I'll be here in a moment. Cai Yong commanded.

"No!" The butler turned and walked away.

"Look, isn't this coming? The reason why we didn't let you go out for a while was because we were moved to Pegasus City overnight, and the purpose is still unknown. Although Yan'er is not a natural beauty, she left Cai's mansion, and she was afraid that her father would not be safe, so she sent people under the fence, and everything should be careful. Cai Yong said unhurriedly.

"Yes, father. My daughter understands your hard work. Cai Yan nodded, and said, "Tianma City Lord Ye, isn't it the general of Zhenbei and the Taishou of Yanmen County?" My daughter wants to see her too, is that okay? ”

Cai Yong's face was solemn, and he said, "How can a girl's family be so formless?" ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and went to the bedroom to change clothes.

"Okay." Cai Yan pouted and walked slowly towards the boudoir, suddenly, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she muttered, "It should be okay to hide behind the screen, right?" ”

——————————

Ye Teng waited in the hall of Cai's mansion for an hour, but he didn't see Cai Yong, and couldn't help but secretly say: "The old man still seems to hold grudges." But his demeanor was not in a hurry at all, he drank tea without hurry, and he was at ease!

After another half an hour, Cai Yong walked in from the left side of the hall, after all, he didn't want to be too rude, and as soon as he entered the hall, a gentle voice sounded: "Let Ye City Lord wait for a long time!" ”

"Ye Teng, meet Cai Zhonglang!" Ye Teng hurriedly got up and made a big salute!

"Don't dare! Lord Yecheng is young and promising, and regards the imperial capital Luoyang as his own back garden, entering if he wants to, going out if he wants to, and treating the officials of the imperial court as grass mustard, grasping if he wants to, and tying up if he wants; I, Cai Yong, am just a corrupt Confucian, dare to deserve such a big gift? The old man's tone was gentle, but the content was like an angry youth.

Well, the old man is quite angry.

I had to be cheeky and pretend to be confused with a few thoughtful courtesies: "Mr. Confucianism in the sea, he can be the teacher of the world, and his words can be the law of the world, and the world wants to worship Mr. Disciples, such as the fin of crossing the river, Teng is no exception, but I am afraid that Mr. will not accept it!" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Cai Yong, and Cai Yong was expressionless, without any meaning of interface, and sat and watched Ye Teng perform.

There was no way, Ye Teng had no choice but to perform hard: "However, first Cheng Huang and Yangqiu Weng's son-in-law were framed and exiled to Shuofang and avoided the rivers and seas, and then Dong Zhuo threatened the lives of the Cai family, and he had no choice but to go out of Luoyang. And the gentleman has a noble temperament, and he would like to hide in the countryside and not bow in front of the chariot and horse! ”

Cai Yong's face turned pleasant, did he really scratch the itch?

Many people are not strange, they love to listen to good words, and they don't stretch out their hands to hit smiling people, honestly, Siyan!
