Qingzhou is full of war clouds, and Aniu's Fengxiang City is still as crowded as in the past.

Cai Yong's residence is a mansion located in the old town of Fengxiang, although it is not as big as the house in Luoyang and Chang'an, but there are also three in and three out. Such a scale, in Fengxiang City, where every inch of land is valuable, is a quite high-end configuration, which fully reflects Fengxiang City's respect for Cai Yong.

The room in Cai's house is not small, but there are not many people.

Since Cai Yan ran away from home, Cai's house has been a little deserted, Cai Yong was very annoyed with his daughter's departure, and threatened not to allow Wen Ji to enter the door, or to break his leg when he came back, but in private, he often sighed and worried, and desperately hoped that Cai Yan would return as soon as possible.

Cai Yan is back, but the atmosphere in Cai's mansion has not improved significantly.

After returning to Fengxiang, Cai Yan locked himself in his home and did not leave the house for several days.

Every day, Cai Yan plays a tune on the Jiaowei piano.

Cai Yong is a master of the piano, and he can hear the homesickness in the sound of the piano, as well as the joy and hesitation of returning home, the emotions are complex and very contradictory, and on the whole, the tune is euphemistic and sad, tearing the liver and intestines. This is Cai Yan's work, the title of the song is "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats". Being able to write this piece is enough to prove that Cai Yan's understanding and perception of music has reached a new level.

In fact, Cai Yan has been promoted to a master musician.

But Cai Yong was not happy at all.

Cai Yong originally thought that Cai Yan did this because he was overly frightened after being taken away by the Huns, coupled with the physical and mental exhaustion of the long journey, and he could recover after a few days of rest, but what he didn't expect was. Seven days have passed, and Cai Yan is still the same. There is no intention of changing. Cai Yong deliberately went to Yuefu and asked Yuefu to send someone to invite Cai Yan to play a song. was also rejected by Cai Yan.

Cai Yong suddenly knew that something was wrong.

After several twists and turns, Cai Yong finally knew why Cai Yan locked himself up.

is the same reason as Cai Yan ran away from home at the beginning, or because of the so-called marriage contract between a certain city lord and Wen Ji.

Cai Yong's head is as big as a bucket.

When I said that, wasn't it in a hurry? At that time, several powerful figures in the Liangzhou Army asked to get married, and they couldn't clearly say that "you and other martial artists are not worthy of my family's Wenji", so they had to push Ah Niu out as a shield, saying that the time they went to Chang'an was also to help Ah Niu, and something was pushed on Ah Niu. It seems to be very reasonable, but who knows that a certain city lord already has a crush? Besides, at that time, it was also to prevent Wen Ji from marrying those reckless men in Liangzhou. Cai Yong really didn't expect that the small things would be difficult to end......

I thought that time could dilute a qiē, but I didn't expect to be away from home for so long, and Cai Yan still didn't turn a corner.

What a persistent girl.

After coming to Fengxiang for so long, Cai Yong has already understood that Xiaoyu's status in Fengxiang City wants to let a certain city lord marry Xiaoyu to Wen Ji. It's simply impossible.

In the past few days, Cai Yong has also vaguely proposed that he plans to find a wishful husband for Wen Ji, hoping to untie this dead knot. Unexpectedly, Wen Ji vetoed it without thinking about it. Forced to say: "The father needs to be taken care of, and the daughter is willing not to marry for the rest of her life." ”

dignified Confucian, empty and full of economy. There is nothing that can be done about it.

As a parent, how can you bear to let your child be lonely for a lifetime?

Desperate Cai Yong. I had to find my friend Lu Zhi and ask him to find a way to help with this. Lu Zhi has always doted on Wen Ji. Treating Wen Ji as his daughter, Wen Ji still came to Fengxiang by car with him, so naturally he couldn't sit idly by.

Lu Zhi's brain is much more active, and the key to the matter is pointed out in one sentence.

"Wen Ji is angry at your fabricated marriage contract, and she feels that she can't get over her face? Or is he really interested in Ah Niu, and finds it difficult to get his wish and his heart is like ashes? To solve the problem, we first have to find out what Wen Ji really thinks. ”

Cai Yong agreed.

So the two great Confucians began to act: please ask someone who can talk to Wen Ji to come to the door, chat with Wen Ji to relieve boredom, and test their hearts by the way; Let Cai Yan's personal maid pay close attention to his every move, hoping to figure out some truth from his words and deeds; What's more, the two made a cameo appearance as a secret agent, found the relevant personnel who participated in the rescue operation across the loop, and asked carefully without letting go of any details......

Details and clues were shown one by one in front of the two part-time secret agents. After Cai Yan was rescued, the scene of throwing himself into the arms of a certain city lord and crying loudly will naturally not be missed.

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong sighed at the same time, there was no need to check anymore.

Lu Zhi asked Cai Yong: "What should I do?" ”

Cai Yong had a calm face and said directly: "Let Ah Niu be responsible and marry Wen Ji as his wife!" ”

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly: "Wen Ji is his wife, what about Xiaoyu?" ”

"Xiaoyu is also very good, I don't mind that kid taking a concubine, he is a prince, he has that qualification......"

"Impossible, you know."

Cai Yong's eyes straightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't do it, you have to do it!" That time I went to Chang'an and was almost detained and couldn't come back, the marriage contract was forced by the form, I went to Chang'an to help him, it's a business matter! If I was detained that time, I could only die, which means that I almost lost my life, so I rushed to this point, he couldn't eat and wipe clean and didn't admit it! It is true that he is the prime minister of Qi State, but if I go to Chang'an now, I can also mix with the three dukes, and he dares to compare his official position with me? Besides, my family's Wen Ji is both talented and beautiful, and I am also a generation of Confucian, and my only daughter is not qualified to marry him? ”

Cai Yong will never advertise himself as a great Confucian, nor will he ever assume that he will die and use it as a bargaining chip, let alone mess around...... He couldn't do anything like that, but now, Cai Yong has done it all, and there is a reason why he is so entangled in the issue of wives and concubines.

In ancient China, the so-called "three wives and four concubines" system was just a joke, describing that men had many wives and concubines, and it was not really possible to marry three wives. There can only be one wife, who enters the clan tablet, and the children born are grandchildren, and the sons-in-law can inherit the title; Concubines cannot enter the clan tablet, and their children are concubines, and they can divide the family property but cannot inherit the title, and the status gap is quite large. Even Cai Yong inevitably wants to win the status of a wife for his beloved daughter, after all, Ah Niu is not married yet, and his wife position is empty, so he has to fight.

Lu Zhi closed his eyes. I couldn't bear to look at it, but I still insisted: "Impossible." You know ......."

Cai Yong was like a deflated ball, and said dejectedly: "I am just a daughter." ”

Lu Zhi hesitated for a long time. In the end, he couldn't bear to let Cai Yong lose hope completely, and compromised: "In this way, let's go to Ah Niu together, you might as well explain the situation first, and propose to let him marry Wen Ji as his wife to see if it is feasible, but if Ah Niu does not agree, Bo Yi cannot force it." The small fish is gentle and supple. Dealing with things is fair and atmospheric, you also know Ah Niu's personality, and you and I are a little thin-faced, even if Wen Ji is a concubine, she will never be wronged. ”

Cai Yong had no better way, so he had to nod his head in agreement.

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong didn't expect that as soon as they explained their intentions, a certain city lord gave them a blow to the head. The problem is not whether Ah Niu agrees to marry Cai Wenji as his wife, but that he doesn't even have the intention of taking Nawenji as a concubine. Although the words were tactful, the attitude was very resolute! After refusing, Ah Niu found an excuse to slip away, and teleportation is easy to use. Once you brush it, there is no shadow.

The two Great Confucians were all dumbfounded, completely unable to understand the reaction of a certain city lord.

A certain city lord was not having a good time, and his liver trembled with fear. Cold sweat flowed.

As a modern male, Ah Niu knows very well. If he dares to marry Cai Yan in the game, the second half of his life will be miserable in reality. Don't look at the gentle nature of the small fish. It is absolutely impossible to agree that Ah Niu will find her a "sister" and enjoy the blessings of all people, which is self-destruction and will lead to the breakdown of the family!

Cai Yong wanted to cry without tears, and said in a trembling voice: "He...... He didn't want to marry Wen Ji? This negative man! ”

Lu Zhixin said, people have never done anything at all, and they don't even have the qualifications to be negative, but at this time, they obviously can't stimulate their old friends anymore, and asked, "What should I do?" ”

"If he doesn't marry, he has to marry!" Cai Yong said coldly.

It's not that Cai Yong wants to save face or be stubborn, but that he has no way out.

Cai Yan's attitude is there, either marry a certain city lord, or be lonely for a lifetime, there is no third choice, so even if he is unexpectedly rejected by a certain city lord, his old face is dull, Cai Yong has to arch forward with his head on his head. Up to now, Cai Yong no longer dares to expect Wen Ji to be a wife after she gets married, and when she meets a person who doesn't know how to lift, she now even has to work hard to get the qualifications of a concubine......

In any case, vow to make a certain city lord obey!

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong began to find people to support, and in Fengxiang City, people who had the ability to influence a certain city lord's concubine (Cai Yong said that he was very aggrieved) became the target of their lobbying. It's about Cai Yong and Cai Yan's face, so there can't be too many people in the know, and ordinary civil and military generals are definitely not suitable for pointing fingers at the private life of a city lord, but Li Qi, Liu Xing, Chen Gong, and Zhao Yun brothers and sisters can still talk, and Lu Zhi even privately found Zhang Laoshi, who was idle, that is, an elder in the Fengxiang Village era......

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong have a high reputation.

Cai Yan's situation seems to be very worthy of sympathy, and Xiaoxue's tendency is particularly obvious.

In addition, these people generally believe that matching a certain city lord Na Cai Yan as a concubine is related to the unity and harmony of the territory, and it is a good thing for the benefit of the country (Qi) and the people. Therefore, a few people who were fortunate enough to receive the commission agreed without dissatisfaction, and tried their best to instigate Ah Niu Na Concubine one by one, and assured the two great Confucians that they would keep their mouths shut about this matter, and no matter what the final result was, they would not leak anything to the outside world, and they would no longer discuss the matter.

This is mainly for Cai Yan.

Cai Yan is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she resolutely ran away from home with a previous marriage contract. If you learn that a certain city lord doesn't even agree to accept her as a concubine, and forces her father Cai Yong to put down his face and find someone to talk about it, what kind of result will be, it makes people shudder to think about it......

A certain city lord was unprecedentedly stubborn, did not let go, and resolutely refused to explain the reason for not accepting concubines. After all, the concept is different, and speaking out will only confuse these people, and it will also damage the glorious image of a certain city lord......

The third brother Liu Xing was very puzzled, according to his understanding, it was unreasonable for a certain city lord not to take concubines, regardless of the overall situation, and there were anti-human tendencies: "The eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, which is justified." Don't tell you the truth, Mi Zizhong talked in front of me some time ago that his sister is an adult, born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, and has not yet been married. Come to think of it, the fourth brother is so good, the Mi family should be happy to send him over as a concubine! I'll think about who else has a suitable woman, and you can accept it together......

Fourth, you can't think about it so much, are you worried that the concubine and Xiaoyu are not compatible? Come to think of it, Xiaoyu has a gentle temperament, and her brother doesn't want her to be wronged, or we asked Xiaoyu first, the woman she disagreed with, and resolutely refused to let her enter the door, what do you say? ”

A certain city lord burst into tears: "Third brother, you are looking for Xiaoyu, because you think I didn't die fast enough!" ”

Liu Xing's eyes widened suddenly.

Two days later, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong blocked Ah Niu in a tavern.

Cai Yong's mask frost: "You don't have a good impression of Wen Ji?" ”

A certain city lord was embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "It's serious! Miss Wen Ji is gentle and virtuous, and even more rare is talented......"

Cai Yong was impatient to listen to someone's nonsense, and interrupted: "Then you have a good impression of Wen Ji?" ”

Ah Niu's heart was horizontal, and he simply made it clear: "I have a good feeling, it's a little bit, but it's far from the point of talking about marriage." The two gentlemen know that Xiaoyu and I are childhood sweethearts, and the two are happy, and it is difficult to tolerate others in their hearts, and they don't want to make Xiaoyu unhappy, so they really dare not delay Miss Wenji's lifelong happiness. ”

Lu Zhi frowned and said: "Can it be understood that Ah Niu still has a good impression of Yan'er, but he is afraid of Xiaoyu's feelings, so he keeps refusing?" ”

"Uh...... Sort of. ”

"In other words, unless Xiaoyu nods, you won't take a concubine?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Lu Zhi and Cai Yong twisting their beards and laughing.

Xiaoyu walked in and looked at Ah Niu.

A certain city lord suddenly felt bad, and stammered: "You...... You're not going to say yes, are you? ”

"yes, I promised."
