Chapter 102: Mercy Changes
Although Cai Wenji is a good learner, but after all, she is only a sixteen-year-old flower girl, He Bai Fangcai's language can scare her, the misfortune of marrying three times, isn't that to kill two husbands? Bereavement: Isn't it a father who will die in the near future?
Cai Wenji couldn't maintain the elegance and quietness she had started with, and went to find Cai Yong in a panic. Not long after, Cai Yong put on his coat and came to He Bai's room with the help of the second daughter of the Cai family. After the ceremony, Cai Yong arched his hand and said with a smile: "I don't want Mr. Tianming to know the art of face-to-face, the old man is fifty and eight this year, and life and death are only a few years, and it is nothing sooner or later." It's just that Mr. Tianming said that Zhao Ji's face is not good, so the old man had to come and inquire in detail. ”
He Bai also bowed his hand slightly and said: "I have learned a little bit of everything, and I can't see any hidden secrets in my face on weekdays. It's just that I suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Miss Zhaoji, so I invited Mr. Bo Ji to come and take a look. ”
Cai Yong is very knowledgeable, but he has not yet reached the point of ignoring ghosts and gods, and in the face of He Bai, who also has a wide range of knowledge, he does not dare to say that he does not believe in physiognomy. So he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It turns out that I just feel something, since the old man is here, please ask Mr. Tianming to try it." ”
"Okay." He Bai then pretended to give Cai Yong a look at his face up and down, left and right, and after a while, he said: "Alas, judging from Mr. Bo's face, Mr. Bo Jiao is a high-spirited person, who can be famous all over the world, and can learn to move the rivers and lakes, but he has no noble and official spirit at all. However, recently, Mr. Bo Ji has a faint appearance of good luck, and it may not be a year before someone will raise Mr. Bo. ”
However, whether Mr. Bo is called or not, he will be an official, and he will even move to Shangshu three times a day, directly make a marquis, and suppress Jiuqing. And the misfortune of Zhao Ji's displacement for 20 years was reflected in Mr. Bo Jiao's official affairs. ”
"Huh?!!" Cai Yong and Cai's second daughter were surprised and delighted when they heard it, as if they couldn't believe it. In addition to Cai Yong's early years, he devoted himself to studying and should not be recruited, and his career was not smooth. Later, he offended the ten permanent servants because of his words and deeds, and was framed by him and exiled to Shuofang for several years.
After that, he was afraid of the revenge of the Ten Standing Servants, which would harm his family, and he had been wandering in the land of Jingyang Wuhui in the south. It wasn't until the eldest daughter Cai Wenji grew up and was about to marry the Hedong Wei clan that she returned to Chenliu and prepared to send her relatives.
And because there was no money left at home, I thought of coming to Luoyang for help. And Cai Yong himself almost gave up hope for his career, but he didn't want to hear the good news in He Bai. It's just that this career will have a great relationship with Cai Zhaoji's future life, which Cai Yong did not expect.
Cai Mingji asked: "Mr. Tianming, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." Is my father's fortune a source of misfortune and fortune, and a source of blessing and misfortune? ”
"Exactly." He Bai nodded and looked at Cai Mingji appreciatively. Although Cai Yong and Cai Wenji's IQ and talent are high, they belong to the level of great writers, but their keen sense of smell is very inferior, and they are not as high as Cai Mingji, a ten-year-old girl. So he said: "In addition to Zhao Ji being burdened by this career, even Mr. Bo Ji himself is equivalent to exchanging his own life span for his own temporary wealth. However, this wealth is like a castle in the sky, and it does not have half a foundation at all, and the day it reaches the top is the time of decline. ”
The three of Cai's were stunned, and their promotion was equivalent to the death of one of Cai's and the displacement of another.
Cai Wenji asked anxiously: "Mr. Tianming, I don't know how long my father lives?" ”
He Bai shook his head and said: "Mr. Bo is leisurely in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to say how long he lives. However, if you voluntarily respond to the call, or if you are forcibly appointed to an official position by others, you will only have more than one year at most, and at the age of 60, you will be summoned to death for some reason. ”
After Cai Yong heard this, his face was gloomy for a while, even though he had many aspirations to serve the country and the people, but he was old, and he was not as firm as he was when he was young, and he just wanted his children to be safe and happy. After a long time, Fang Cai took a long breath and said with a smile: "Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky." Thank you Mr. Tianming for your guidance, I wonder if Zhao Ji's fate can be changed and escaped? ”
He Bai pondered for a long time before he said: "The fate of a person is determined by personal decision, and if you choose well, you will pass it safely." If the decision is not good, it will come early. I have a way, not only Zhaoji's fate can be changed, but even Mr. Boji's fate can also be changed! It's just that everything will need to be decided by you, Mr. Bo Ge. ”
This matter is related to the safety of his father and sister, and even the young Cai Mingji was anxious and asked, "Please also ask Mr. Tianming to try it." ”
He Bai looked at Cai Yong, who was calm and had no sorrow or joy, and said: "My method is to pretend to be sick in advance and pretend to be an incurable disease, such as wind paralysis and dementia. In this way, the person who recruited Mr. Bethel would retreat voluntarily, even if it was forced. ”
Cai Yong nodded slightly, this method is not bad. At this time, no one forcibly recruited him, and he fell ill early, and no one should guess the specific reason. As long as you live in semi-seclusion for a few years, when you forget your own existence, you can be free. It's just that...... Cai Yong thought about the possible things He Bai said, and he was unwilling. But asking her daughter to continue to suffer for 20 years, exchanging her life for a moment of pride, made Cai Yong immediately firm in her thoughts and never waver easily.
He Bai said: "As for Zhao Ji's three marriages, one marriage will be less than a year, and there will be the pain of widowhood. After that, he will be bullied endlessly by his husband, and without the help of Mr. Boji, Zhao Ji is only afraid of being sad in the Wei family. Therefore, whether Zhao Ji marries Wei or not this time, whether she suffers the pain of widowhood or not, it depends on your decision, Mr. Bojiao. ”
After listening to He Bai's words, Cai Yong's mood was very heavy, and he made himself forget his relatives and betray his righteousness, which was really impossible to do. But Wei's son made it clear that he was going to die in Huangquan, but he asked Zhao Ji to marry Chongxi, if he was lucky enough to recover, it would naturally be Zhao Ji's credit. If he unfortunately dies of illness, it will naturally be Akihime's fault. Cai Yong is old and sophisticated, so he can naturally guess what Zhao Ji will suffer in the future.
As long as he thinks that Zhao Ji has followed him to wander in the land of Jingyang Wuhui since she was a child, and has been spending time in suffering, and has not enjoyed half a point of happiness at all, Cai Yong is bursting with heartache and love. No matter what, if you are alone, even if you are a landslide and the earth cracks, you can't have half a point of betrayal. But if for the sake of Akihime's lifelong happiness, even if he breaks his promise and gets fat, he will not hesitate to do it.
"When the old man was framed by the traitor and exiled to Shuofang, he was afraid that the traitor would not let the old man go, so when he crossed the river to the north, he wanted to find an old acquaintance to protect Zhao Ji. Hedong Wei happened to come to meet the old man at that time, and the old man was very smart because Wei Zhongdao, the son of Wei, was young, so he had the heart of marriage. Wei's agreed to this matter that year, so the old man fostered Zhaoji in Wei's. ”
"I just didn't want to, and when the old man went to Wei's to inquire after the amnesty in the second year, he saw that Zhaoji was not well taken care of by Wei, but lived like a servant. Only then did the old man wake up to his senses, when Wei agreed to marry the old man, all he valued was the old man's reputation. Later, Wei was threatened by a traitor, and naturally regretted it, so he treated Zhao Ji lightly. When the old man saw this, he was naturally annoyed, and immediately took Zhao Ji away, and he did not have contact with Wei for twelve years. ”
After that, fortunately, there was a Taishan goat clan quite righteous, and for twelve years, the old man was able to live in the land of Jingyang Wuhui. These old men took care of their own face and never divorced from the Wei family. And Wei saw that the old man was always fine, and he also wanted to use the old man's reputation to improve the family, so he did not propose to withdraw from the family, so the matter was completely delayed. ”
Cai Yong sighed: "If there is no mention of Tianming today, the old man still has hope for the Wei family." I don't want Zhao Ji to marry Wei, but I still can't be happy after all. For the sake of his daughter, it seems that the old man has not wanted to clear his name for many years, and tomorrow the old man will go to the Wei family to repent of his marriage. ”
"Father......" Cai Zhaoji knew that her father's life was not smooth, and what she got was her own name. However, today, for the sake of himself, he has made an act of repentance for his marriage, and in the future, he will be ridiculed for his father's unfaithful and unrighteous deeds. Father's kindness is like this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be moved to tears.
He Bai arched his hand and smiled: "Actually, after Mr. Bo Jiao pretended to be sick, he immediately sent someone to Shu Wei's family, saying that Zhao Ji needed to take care of his old father with a fixed illness, and forced his relatives to postpone the matter with filial piety. As long as you wait for a year, you can solve your own problems. There is no need to be untrustworthy or to break the covenant. As long as you live two or three years, you can escape the doom of both of you, and then you will be safe and sound. ”
Cai Yong's face was hesitant, as if he didn't want to do this trick. Cai Mingji couldn't help but glance at her father and said, "The Wei family is unrighteous first, and I can't allow my Cai family to cheat." If Wei treats me like a sheep, why does my father need to do this. ”
Cai Yong finally sighed and said, "Okay, okay, that's it." Alas...... Thanks to Tianming's guidance and planning this time, if he finds a lover in the future, the old man and the whole family will thank Tianming for his great kindness. ”
He Bai waved his hand and said: "This little thing, just because Zhao Ji calls me sir, I can't sit idly by." ”
He Bai said a few more polite words to Cai Yong, and Cai Mingji suddenly jumped out and asked, "What about me, Mr. Tianming, how is my face?" ”
He Bai laughed and said: "Based on your temperament alone, I know that you will definitely be a woman and a husband in the future." I look at your face and children, and you will be happy in your life, but you need to remember one thing, your temperament must be more restrained, and those who are prosperous in the family will definitely be yang, and I am afraid that your husband and children will not live long in the future. ”
Cai Yong was stunned when he heard this, and said: "What Mr. Tianming said is very true, Mingji, you must restrain your temperament, otherwise your son-in-law and grandson will not live long in the future, and it will be your sin." You don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, do you? Alas, you are still young, where do you know this, but you must remember the words of Mr. Tianming, otherwise you will regret it one day. ”
Seeing that Cai Yong had never been serious, Cai Mingji couldn't help but shrink her body and responded in fear, "My daughter remembers." ”
Under the repeated thanks of Cai's father and daughter, He Bai finally said goodbye to the three of them, began to wash with cold water, and then lay down in the guest room of Cai's mansion and fell asleep. Today, borrowing what we know from history, we have changed the lives of Cai's father and daughter on the grounds of face-to-face, which is not aimed at profit at all, but just wants to help others, which is extremely pleasant. I fell asleep early.
On the second day, there was nothing to do, He Bai slept until the hour of the morning, but Cai Yong and his old slave went out early in the morning, leaving only the two girls at home. Mingji hadn't fallen asleep yet, only Cai Wenji heard the sound of He Bai getting up and brought clean water for washing.
After He Bai cleansed, he saw that there were no other men in Cai's mansion, and it was not good to stay in Cai's mansion for a long time, so he retired early and left Cai's mansion. I bought some snacks for breakfast on the way, and then returned to my own house.
He Bai's He Mansion is about 1,000 square meters, 25 meters wide and 40 meters long. There is a plaza in the house, a garden, a pavilion with a water pavilion, and a 10-meter-high observation deck. The residence is very comfortable. If you squeeze it, the mansion can accommodate three or four hundred people. It's just that there are very few people at this time, and the whole mansion seems a little empty.
This is the largest mansion that can be bought and sold privately in Luoyang City, where every inch of land is valuable. No matter how big it is, it belongs to the official residence of the imperial court, which is given by the emperor to high-ranking officials to live in, and after the high-ranking officials are transferred or old, they will be withdrawn and given another gift.
He Bai knew that Luoyang City would be burned down by Dong Zhuo in the next year, and it was just a waste to buy real estate at this time, so He Bai just rented this mansion at a high price and did not buy it.
As soon as He Bai returned to the house, he shouted and called out the people in the house, and after a while, he saw Diao Chan, Luo Pei, Han Rong, Gongsun Fu, Ye Xun and others rushing over. Diao Chan took the lead in asking, "Husband, is there anything important that needs to be ordered to wait for me?" ”
He Bai smiled: "Yes, I went to Mr. Cai Bojiao's house yesterday and had a good conversation with him. Because he saw that his family was poor, he had nothing else, and he lacked maidservants and maids, so he had to do the heavy work himself. So, Gongsun Fu, you take some people to buy some household things and send them to Mr. Bojiao, and I will go and choose slaves and maids for Mr. Bo. In addition, there may be a lot of visitors to He Mansion recently, so I can't let you go to serve too, it's time to add some maids and slaves to help......"
