In the backyard of Cai's mansion, there was a light sigh in the boudoir, and a woman in white was contemplating her eyebrows and pouting, using a paintbrush to pestle a freshly drawn calligraphy and painting on the painting case to complain.

"What's wrong with Miss, I'm complaining about Jiang Gongzi's portrait again、、、", the beautiful girl in the emerald green skirt opened the door and said to the young lady with a frown.

"What did Huan'er say!! How can there be 、、、", Cai Yan put the brush into the pen holder, walked away angrily, and soon the sound of the piano came from the bedroom, but the sound of the piano was still a little sad in the tactfulness.

This kind of situation has become commonplace in the past few months, and what used to happen once every three or two days now happens basically every day as time goes by.

Huan'er shook her head and walked to the painting, staring at the portrait on which the ink had dried, in which a young general in armor was shooting at a climbing eagle in the sky.

Although the man in the painting often appears in dreams, Huan'er knows that he is just a maid, and the gap between them is not a star and a half, and only a talented woman like her own lady in the world is worthy of him. With a sigh in her heart, Huan'er quietly put away the scroll and put it on the bookshelf that was almost full.

By the time Huan'er packed up her painting tools and walked into the bedroom, Cai Yan had already stopped playing the piano and was now supporting her little face with her wrist.

Looking at a small tree outside the window that had lost all its leaves, Cai Yancai said, "Why hasn't anyone come to Huan'er yet?" ”

Looking at the young lady who was about to fall in love, Huan'er also sighed and said, "Or?" Miss Huan'er went to the barracks to see 、、、、"

"Don't want to, forget it if you don't come! There are so many people who want to marry Miss Ben, so I won't beg! It's like Miss Ben can't get married, she doesn't come, what's the big deal, isn't it just that people are good-looking, taller, literary and artistic, and martial arts, and there are so many people! Cai Yan was embarrassed when she was mentioned what she thought in her heart, and looked back at a poem written by Jiang Qi hanging next to the dresser, muttering that she felt a little like a resentful woman at the moment.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

However, just when Cai Yan was losing his temper in the boudoir, in the living room of Cai's mansion, Cai Yong, who had just returned from Taixue, was receiving two guests.

The guests were a man and a woman, the man was handsome in a brocade robe, and he looked sixteen or seventeen years old, but his face was a little miserable and white, and he was also a little thin, giving people a feeling of a literati who had no power to restrain chickens.

The woman in her forties and fifties is dressed in flowers, with a fat face like a flatbread and a standard mole growing on the corner of her mouth, which seems to tell her profession.

At this moment, there are two large boxes next to the two of them, and it is self-evident what the boxes contain.

Looking at the gifts on the side and the middle-aged woman dressed up in flowers, Cai Yong naturally knew what the person in front of him was talking about, but he still asked as usual: "I don't know what the nephew is in such a big formation today??" ”

"Back to uncle, Zhongdao and Zhao Ji have known each other since childhood, and they love it in their hearts, and today they dare to ask their uncle to cut their love and marry Zhao Ji's sister to the boy!" , The words that had already been thought of in his heart, and now with a nervous mood, Wei Zhongdao said solemnly when he knelt down and saluted Cai Yong.

Cai Yong hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Zhongdao up, and said with a smile: "The nephew is such a big gift, get up quickly、、、、"

"The Cai family has been scholarly for generations, Cai Shi and his son-in-law are all famous Confucians in my Han Dynasty, and Wei Gongzi's family is the most famous family in Hedong, and the family has been handed down for hundreds of years. With the talents of Wei Gongzi and Miss Cai, this marriage will definitely be a good story! The matchmaker on the side also took the opportunity to start talking.

Cai Yong listened to the matchmaker's words, looked at Wei Zhongdao with a sincere face in front of him, and thought that his daughter should talk about family affairs when she reached the age of Jilu, although there are many people who usually come to the door to propose marriage, and the family background is better than his Wei family, but in the past experience and his daughter's life, Cai Yong also feels that Wei Zhongdao may be the person his daughter entrusts for life.

The reason why Cai Yong thinks so is not only because his daughter and Wei Zhongdao have known each other since childhood, both of them are people who love calligraphy, painting, music and rhythm, and they are world friends, but the most important thing is that Wei Zhongdao is usually obedient to his daughter, and his daughter will not be bullied if she marries her.

In this way, Cai Yong was also moved today, and it was Wei Zhongdao who came to propose marriage in person, which made him feel even more good in his heart.

"Is this the meaning of the nephew's family or??" Cai Yan asked tentatively.

"Back to my uncle, Zhong Dao personally went back to Hedong a month ago to make a clear trip to his father, and my father very much agreed with what Zhong Dao mentioned. My father was going to go in person, but suddenly there was something at home, so I had to come by myself, and when my father finished dealing with the affairs of the family, he would come to Luoyang. My father said that he hadn't seen his uncle for a long time, and asked Nakado and his uncle to take care of 、、、、、、"

"Haha、、、、 the world brother is polite, don't hide it from the world nephew, the person who went to his uncle's house to propose marriage in two years can be said to have stepped on the threshold, but the uncle didn't look at any of them. I didn't expect to see my nephew today but my heart is great, not only because my nephew is handsome and famous, but also because your two families have been friends for generations, Yan'er and you have seen each other since childhood, and they often go in and out together, if you and I can really get married, it is the best. ”

"Very good, Nakado has met my father-in-law!" Hearing Cai Yong's words, Wei Zhongdao was overjoyed and couldn't wait to call his father-in-law.

Hearing Wei Zhongdao call him so, Cai Yong was happy to accept a salute, and then said: "It's just that although it is said that since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents, but my uncle promised Yan'er that she would get her consent to get married. It's better to wait a little longer for the nephew, and the uncle will go to ask Yan'er one or two, but it's 、、、、、"

"Then please father-in-law!" Wei Zhongdao hurriedly smiled and saluted, thinking that since Cai Yong had agreed, the matter had basically been decided, and at this moment he was actually Cai Yan's beautiful face in his heart.

Cai Yong got up and patted Wei Zhongdao on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look, and walked towards the backyard with a smile. During the walk, Cai Yong was optimistic about this sensible son-in-law from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps a little.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

"Miss, if Jiang Gongzi comes to the door to propose marriage now, will Miss agree?" After listening to Cai Yan's complaint in the room, Huan'er rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Hmph, it's late! Even if Miss Ben came in person at this moment, she wouldn't agree, so Miss Ben had waited so long, wouldn't it be frivolous to say yes as soon as she came! Cai Yan said stiffly.

"Knock" "Knock" "Knock" While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door, and then the voice came: "Is Yan'er in the house?" ”

"Oh, is it my father? How did you come back so early today? Hearing that it was his father's voice, Cai Yan quickly got up from the soft couch, walked quickly towards the door with his skirt, and asked as he walked.

"Yan'er didn't go out today?" With the support of his daughter, Cai Yong walked to the desk in the middle of the room and sat down, took the water that Huan'er poured for him, took a shallow sip and said.

"How many people have nothing to do, and their daughters have always been at home, didn't my father go to court today?" Cai Yan obediently knelt on the soft couch next to him and asked.

"Hey, Your Majesty doesn't ask about the world, and it has been a long time since the court meeting has been held, and I'm afraid that there will be no need to go to the court until the time when the states meet. Okay, don't talk about this, I heard that Yan'er was not very happy for a few days, so what's the matter? Cai Yong sighed, for those of them who are related to the party, the unsatisfactory in the officialdom has long worn out the previous ambitions, and he couldn't help but divert the topic.

"How can you be unhappy! The father is too worried, and the daughter is fine, but the weather has become cooler recently, and she doesn't want to go out. Cai Yan pretended to smile and said that her daughters, who had been independent since childhood, did not want to talk to their father.

"It's okay, since your mother passed away, your sister got married, you are the only one left in the family, often think about your father feels sorry for you, seeing that you no longer like to laugh as when you were a child, my father is very distressed、、、、、、"

"Father must not be like this, Yan'er knows that his father cares about Yan'er, and his father has given Yan'er all the best things over the years, Yan'er is very satisfied with the life he has now, but his father has taken care of the whole family for a few years, and if you want to say that it is hard, who has a father's hard work."

"Hey, for the sake of my own family, for Yan'er's father, no matter how hard it is, the biggest achievement of being a father over the years is to be able to watch my Yan'er grow up slowly, and what is it to put it in those fame and fortune. In this way, my father sent someone to Yuzhou to bring your sister back, and our family will get together、、、、、"

"It's so good, Yan'er also misses her sister, it's been almost four years since my sister got married, and I haven't seen it since I gave birth to a son last time, and this time it's just right."

"That's good, I'll send someone to pick it up after two days, but it's not very smooth on the road, and I have to send someone to pick it up when it's down." Cai Yong thought about it and said.

"Is it messy out there now?" Cai Yan, who has been active near Luoyang, knows the outside world and is immediately curious.

"Don't talk about those unhappy things, just talking about your sister, now that I calculate the age, my Yan'er has also reached the age of Jilu, and it's time to set a family affair. I wonder if my son has a good friend? Cai Yong didn't want the good atmosphere to be ruined, so he hurriedly said the business of this conversation.

"How can a father ask like this, how can a daughter say it、、、、" Cai Yan heard his father's words, and immediately said with a blushing face.

"What's the matter, men should marry women when they get married, it's been like this since ancient times, but with my son's appearance and talent, there must be a lot of outstanding talents in the world who are close to it!" Cai Yong continued to say deeply: "Isn't there one who can get into my eyes、、、、"

"Father!! Daughter doesn't know!? Cai Yan said with a blushing cheek like a mosquito.

"No, I heard that my son has a good friend, and the two of you often go out together, but seriously!?" Cai Yong said suddenly.

"Father, father know!!" Cai Yan was startled, thinking that her father knew about her and Jiang Qi, so she hurriedly raised her head, but when she saw her father's smiling face, she knew that she had been fooled.

"Haha, my son is grown up, and today he came to propose marriage in person, and the father just wanted to ask my son what he meant, but now I don't need to ask when I see my son's expression. But also, his family background is solid, his literary talent is outstanding, and he is also handsome, it is indeed the best choice, if my son has no opinion, how about the family affairs? Cai Yong said with a laugh.

When she heard 'it', Cai Yan's heart jumped, and she heard it as 'Qi', and her family background, outstanding literary talents, and handsome appearance were also said to be the love in her heart, Cai Yan couldn't help but be happy in her heart, thinking that her filial brother had fulfilled his promise to propose.

Although she was a little impatient, the girl's reserve still made her resist the urge to go out to meet, and said with a red face: "The marriage of men and women has been the order of parents since ancient times, and the father is in charge, so there is no need to ask his daughter." ”

"Haha, good, good!" Hearing that his daughter agreed to Cai Yong's heart, he was overjoyed, but at the same time he was a little disappointed, after all, his daughter, who had been dependent on him for more than ten years, was going to get married, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

In this way, the Cai and Wei families decided to be married, but Cai Yong never expected that his confusion would bring boundless harm to the three young people, and it is unknown how they will belong in the future.
