Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Yan'er, don't you have a mind about that Xiliang Jinma Chao?" ”

was poked out of his mind, Cai Yan hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, and said solemnly: "What nonsense is my father talking about!" ”

Cai Yong put his mind at ease and said, "It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not!" ”

Cai Yan was a little angry, so she said, "My daughter went to read first." ”

After speaking, Cai Yan walked upstairs quickly.

As soon as Ma Chao heard the conversation between the two, he thought to himself, is this okay? Wei Zhongdao has a serious illness, and once he gets married, he dies within two years, and Cai Yan can only become a widow at that time. And Ma Chaoxin said that he was still there, how could he let Wei Zhongdao have any chance?

However, when Cai Yong asked if Cai Yan had intentions, Cai Yan denied it so decisively, Ma Chao listened to it and was somewhat disappointed. But after thinking about it, how long has he known Cai Yan? How could it be so quick to make a secret promise? Ma Chao was also relieved, and decided that he should prevent Cai Yan from marrying Wei Zhongdao first, and it would not be too late to work hard in the future.

Ma Chao thought again, to prevent Cai Yan from marrying Wei Zhongdao, it was impossible for him to go directly to Cai Yong and make him break this idea. The bell must be tied to the bell, and he still has to persuade Cai Yan to have a chance in this matter.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao quietly walked to Cai Yong's window, peeked at it, and saw Cai Yong sitting with a look of disappointment on his face, not noticing anything unusual. Ma Chao went around to the other side of the small building with confidence, tiptoed up the tree, and saw Cai Yan sitting at the table near the window, holding his chin in one hand and holding the pen in the other, frowning, absentmindedly holding the pen and scribbling on the bamboo slips.

Ma Chao looked at it and was overjoyed, it seemed that Cai Yan didn't want to marry Wei Zhongdao, so it was easy to do.

Ma Chao broke another branch and threw it on the bamboo slip in front of Cai Yan. Cai Yan was startled, turned his head and saw Ma Chao on the tree, even more surprised.

Ma Chao stepped lightly over the branches, stepped on the window, and slowly jumped into Cai Yan's room.

Cai Yan asked curiously: "General, didn't you say that you would come back to study together at night?" Why did you come here early in the morning? ”

Ma Chao explained: "At night, I will lead the army to attack the enemy troops outside the city. I'm afraid of missing your appointment, so I'll just come first at this time. ”

When he heard that there was going to be a war, Cai Yan was a little worried, and said: "Then the general must be very careful, on the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns." ”

Ma Chao smiled proudly: "Don't worry! Since I followed my father to fight in Xiliang, I have never met an opponent on the battlefield, and I have not had a single wound on my body. ”

Cai Yan recalled that Ma Chao's body was indeed intact, and his heart was first at ease; Then he immediately came back to his senses and blushed with shame.

Ma Chao also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Cough, I accidentally heard it downstairs, Ling Zun wants to marry the girl?" The girl seems to be a little reluctant? ”

Cai Yan relaxed a little at this time, and said: "The little girl doesn't want to get married so early, and her father is still in exile, so the little girl wants to stay with her father all the time." ”

Ma Chao nodded.

Cai Yan said embarrassedly: "But after all, it is a major marriage event, it depends on the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker." The little girl is afraid that it will be difficult to resist. ”

Ma Chao heard it badly, and hurriedly said solemnly: "The girl knows like this, so she is narrow-minded." ”

Cai Yan asked curiously, "Oh? I don't know what the general's opinion is? ”

Ma Chao said: "May I ask the girl, who is this marriage for?" ”

Cai Yan lowered his head and thought about it, and said: ""Erya Releases Relatives", the so-called marriage, the parents of the wife and the parents of the son-in-law. Marriage is also the general term for the parents of both spouses. Therefore, marriage should be concluded for the sake of parents. ”

Ma Chao said solemnly: "Wrong! Big mistake and big mistake! ”

Cai Yan said suspiciously: "General, could it be that the little girl is wrong?" ”

Ma Chao said solemnly: "Of course, the girl's quote of "Erya" is not wrong. But the girl should also know that the so-called marriage, 'the man welcomes the woman at dusk, and the woman comes because of the man'. Therefore, marriage should be concluded for oneself, how can it be said that it is concluded for one's parents? ”

Cai Yan nodded thoughtfully.

Ma Chao said again: "What is the order of the parents? Is it true that after a marriage is a lifetime with one's parents? If it's not, why bother with your parents? ”

"But, after all, it's your parents?" Cai Yan said hesitantly.

Ma Chao said: "Of course, parents should be respected, but it does not mean that they should blindly obey, that is foolish filial piety, not true filial piety." Only you know best what your heart desires and what your heart wants. Only you know best what kind of person you should be with for a lifetime. No matter how much parents understand, how can they surpass themselves? If you believe in your parents' orders, you are very likely to marry someone you don't like, which will have a lifelong impact and even become a disaster. The girl said, "Isn't that the truth?" ”

Cai Yan had already shaken a lot, nodded again, and said, "What the general said makes sense. ”

Ma Chao said: "Let's talk about this matchmaker, the matchmaker is just a businessman, and they take money to do things." As long as you give a lot of money, they will praise you in front of others and try their best to make it happen. Such a person is far less reliable than his parents, how can he be gullible? ”

"Makes sense." Cai Yan lowered his head and pondered.

Seeing that Cai Yan really listened, Ma Chao was ecstatic, relieved, and said: "So, this marriage event, since it is concluded for yourself, you should decide it yourself, and you can't fake it to others, even if it's your dearest parents." ”

Cai Yan sat on the edge of the bed and said, "The little girl also knows what the general said, which is very reasonable. But this applies only to you men. How can we, women, decide for ourselves the major matters of marriage? ”

Ma Chao hurriedly persuaded: "Who said that women can't do it?" In my eyes, men and women are the same, and there is no superiority. Men are only taller and stronger, but what can be better than women? As long as a woman has the same ambition as a man, she will definitely be able to be on a par with men, regardless of superiority. Isn't that what the girl herself is? The girl's literary talent, how many men in this world can beat? Why should the girl belittle herself? ”

Hearing Ma Chao's novel views and encouragement, Cai Yan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "What the general said is that the little girl was stupid for a while. ”

Ma Chao said again: "That's right. Marriage is a major event in life. And life is too short to be taken lightly. Therefore, one's own life must be controlled by oneself; Your own destiny must be decided by yourself. ”

After saying this, Ma Chao himself was more determined. Although he traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, becoming Ma Chao was not something he could decide. But Ma Chao knows that there are many things he can decide. He decided to live himself and for himself in this day and age, according to his own wishes!
