Although Cui Yi knew that he had won Cai Xianqing's appreciation, he was very happy in his heart, but he couldn't understand the mind of this adult, and he couldn't even understand how he was favored, so he didn't dare to rush to see him, but walked to Ye Mansion alone for two or three trips, but he never saw Ye Shangshu's figure in a few days, which made him extremely puzzled. There was no way at all, so I had to have the courage to visit Cai Xianqing.

Cai Xianqing's private house is not small, as soon as Cui Yi arrived, he was taken by a servant, and he took several forks in the road before he came to a quiet place, where flowers and trees were planted everywhere, surrounded by a square pond, and from time to time there were a few wisps of light smoke drifting by, and the fragrance was bursting.

Cai Xianqing sat on a stone bench in front of a bamboo fence, saw Cui Yi coming from afar, greeted him with a smile, asked him to sit down opposite, held the tea, and lit a new plate of incense in the smoker by the way.

As soon as Cui Yi smelled the strong aroma coming to his face, he felt uncomfortable in his nose and became nauseous; He was still more accustomed to the light fragrance of the right talent, so he didn't dare to speak, so he could only frown and endure it.

"I called you to come in the yamen that day, why did you come after all these hours? It is the Father's business, and it must not be important. Cai Xianqing said with a smile.

Cui Yi hurriedly said: "Cui is not unconcerned, but he just doesn't want to trouble Cai Gong, so he went to find Lord Ye a few times, but he didn't wait for him to return home, and I don't know why, so I came late." ”

Cai Xianqing said with a smile: "Alas, you said earlier, you don't need to extend it here!" ”

"That's it...... How? ”

"It was I who recently mentioned the marriage to him and persuaded him: 'You are not young yet, and it is not a good thing that you have not yet started a family, even if you can't find the right daughter-in-law, you should consider the continuation of the incense. Now that the political situation is stable and there are more leisurely days, why not find one or two women to get married and start a business? After several repetitions, he took the matter seriously. No, as soon as I left the yamen in the past two days, I went to visit my colleagues who I knew well in the DPRK and China, and asked them to help me see if there were any big families I knew who could get married. Toss until the evening to return home, naturally you can't find him. ”

Cui Yi's eyes moved, as if he had an idea in an instant, his eyebrows relaxed, no longer wrinkled, and asked slowly: "That...... Does Lord Ye have a match? ”

Cai Xianqing shook his head decisively: "Others recommended two to him, and after asking about the details, they never met." Without further ado, let's talk about your family first. ”

"No, it's definitely not gossip!" Cui Yi's emotions suddenly became excited, "This is also a major event related to the future and fate of my Cui family!" ”

Cai Xianqing was stunned, looked at him fixedly with puzzled eyes, and slowly took a sip of tea.

"You don't know, my father was a very honest man, he didn't have much money, and he lived on his own money. Today is gone, and it is even worse for my Cui family. Although Lord Ye was generous and gave out so much silver, it was not a long-term solution! There was no eldest brother in the family early, and my sister was widowed, leaving me as a man, but I failed to achieve success and fame, and I suffered the ardent expectations of my late father in vain......" After saying that, Cui Yi choked up, and held his sleeves and stained his tears.

"What do you mean......" Cai Xianqing was indifferent, but curious about what he said next.

Cui Yi sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "No way...... Now if you want to survive, you can only get married to Lord Ye! Please help me with this! ”

Cai Xianqing was a little surprised, and thought to himself: "This person came for this reason, and he never wanted to hide so deeply. What he said may not be true, but he can use his relatives as a bet for his own future, and he is really a vicious person! With such people as Lord Ye's right-hand men, can't he build a great cause? I just don't know what kind of ability he is from a talented background and doesn't know how much government affairs......

Thinking of this, he followed the meaning of Cui Yi's words and tried it a little: "I see that you have an extraordinary bearing and are unyielding, of course I am willing to help you rise to the top." But Lord Ye doesn't necessarily think so, he can't even take a second look at your down-and-out Cui family. If you want to talk about in-laws, you must first have the ability to impress him, so that he can get close to your family and marry your sister. ”

Cui Yi said: "Cai Gong should not doubt, if I don't have full confidence, how dare I act so boldly?" As long as you can let Master Ye meet me, he will treat me like a guest!" ”

"What a spirit!" Cai Xianqing couldn't help but exclaim, and poured him a new cup of tea again and again, "The old man has an idea, I don't know if you think it's okay?" ”

"Your Excellency, just say." Cui Yi already had the belief of breaking the kettle at this time, extremely heroic, and he had long lost his uneasy appearance.

"I'm going to let your sister meet with Lord Ye first. I told him about the days before you saw him, and I urged him to come and sit down in your house. At that time, you can deliberately not go to the church to greet you, and call the Zhou clerk ......"

Cui Yi listened to it sideways, and nodded frequently: "Your plan is amazing!" Whether it succeeds or not, it all depends on this hammer deal! I don't know if you went to instruct the Zhou officials? ”

"You go," Cai Xianqing pointed at him and said, "You have a good relationship with him, it's better to talk to him." Don't forget, just say it's my orders! ”

Cui Yi happily agreed, immediately said goodbye to Cai Xianqing, and walked out with his subordinates the same way, seeing that the Zhou officials were still waiting for him at the door, and when they met, they asked Cui Yi: "Lord Cai appreciates you?" ”

Cui Yi smiled: "Thank you Brother Zhou for introducing me, Lord Cai treats me well." ”

Where did the Zhou clerk believe that he, a friend who didn't do his job all day, still thought that he was laughing at himself, so he asked again with a joking tone: "Lord Cai dared to invite a big banquet?" Or do you want to be a great official of the court? ”

Cui Yi rolled up his sleeves neatly, and then replied with a salute: "Brother Zhou, you only invited me to drink a cup of tea and smoke sandalwood." ”

Zhou Clerk laughed: "Don't dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival!" Who didn't serve tea when he saw the old man? The incense was also smoked for him alone, but it has become your glory? ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go......" As he spoke, he grabbed Cui Yi by the collar and wanted to leave with him, but the latter was motionless, standing straight like an iron nail under his feet. What are you waiting for! Really crazy? He hurriedly turned around and leaned over and shouted.

"Brother Zhou, you misunderstood," Cui Yi showed a rare seriousness, "I'm not joking. Master Cai showed me a clear path and gave you an order. ”

"You ......," the clerk was skeptical, and looked up at the old servant in the distance, who nodded slowly to him twice.

"You've really done it!" He grabbed Cui Yi's hand and opened his eyes wide, "Tell me quickly, what does Cai Shilang have to say!" ”
