Chapter 31: The Lord's Cai
Hedong County, Anyi, Weijia.
The Wei family is a Hedong wang family, and the Wei family is almost the emperor of Anyi.
Today is the day of great joy for the Wei family in Anyi, and Wei Zhongdao, the sister-in-law of the Wei family, wants to marry Cai Wenji, the daughter of Cai Yong, the great Confucian and Zuo Zhonglang general Cai Bojiao.
This is a marriage that has been set a long time ago, as Wei Zhongdao, the second son of the Wei family, can inherit the political legacy of Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao, who has no sons, through marriage, and Cai Yong can not only find a family for his daughter to rely on, but also be able to obtain political allies, which can be regarded as a great joy for all.
As for the opinion of Cai Wenji, who is one of the parties, everyone chose to ignore it.
Today, half of Anyi City is lit up.
As the groom's official, Wei Zhongdao dragged his weak body, rode a high-headed horse, and walked on the road to welcome his relatives.
You must know that although Wei Zhongdao is the second son of the Wei family, as long as his brother Wei Covets Wei Bocha for one day, he will not be able to become the heir of the Wei family, but as long as he marries Cai Wenji and inherits Cai Bojiao's political legacy, theoretically he can become a family on a par with Wei Qian, and he can even set up another door and open a wealthy family with a lineage no less than the Wei family.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongdao's breathing couldn't help but become short, and a flush appeared on his bloodless face.
"Ahem......"
Wei Zhongdao couldn't help coughing, bent over and supported the horse, and coughed for half a stick of incense before stopping.
"Zhongdao!"
Wei Qi, who accompanied Wei Zhongdao to pick up his relatives, had a sad look on his face.
The Wei family is generally not in good health, and the ancestors died on the way to see the emperor because of poor health, and were finally buried in Anyi, and they settled in Anyi, and the next few generations rarely lived to the age of the Mandate of Heaven.
Wei Zhongdao's own brother Wei Zhongdao is a typical example of frail and sick, he has been soaked in a medicine jar since he was a child, if it weren't for the Wei family's wealth, and Wei Zhongdao is a son-in-law, if the family is willing to spend money, Wei Zhongdao would have died a long time ago.
Just this morning, Wei Zhongdao drank a large bowl of traditional Chinese medicine made from more than 30 herbs......
"Brother...... Ahem...... I...... cough cough cough ...... It's okay...... Ahem......"
Wei Zhongdao covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed up a bag of blood, and after a long time, he regained his strength and said, "Brother...... Ahem...... I...... Cough...... Let's keep walking...... cough cough cough ......"
Cai Wenji was married from Chang'an, Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, and he is quite trustworthy in front of Dong Zhuo, judging from the current situation, there is still a need for respect!
In fact, the Wei family originally had different opinions on whether to continue to marry Cai Wenji, after all, Cai Yong followed Dong Zhuo and had a bad reputation, but Wei coveted it and insisted that his younger brother marry Cai Wenji according to the marriage contract.
The reason is very simple, it is a ridiculous thing to withdraw from the marriage for no reason, and it will completely offend Cai Yong to death, in case Cai Yong says a few bad words in front of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo only needs to send a few hundred Liangzhou soldiers to be able to slaughter Anyi. On the contrary, if he marries Cai Wenji, the Wei family will not have to be a thief, and they will be able to live a good life under Dong Zhuo's rule because of Cai Yong's relationship, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.
It's just that the Wei brothers don't know that the younger brother-in-law/daughter-in-law they are waiting for at this time has been surrounded by the chaotic army.
"Who are you? My father is Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao, I am going to marry Hedong Wei's wife, you still don't retreat? ”
"If you leave now, I swear that I will not pursue your unreasonableness, otherwise, the court will not spare you!"
Cai Wenji stepped out of the carriage and mustered up the courage to scold.
Cai Wenji is actually very clear about her beauty, and she doesn't want to show her face, for fear of being self-defeating, but it will stimulate the other party's heart even more, but the problem is that if she doesn't come out again, the team to send her relatives will be killed!
At the same time, Cai Wenji was also puzzled: Hedong is west of Luoyang, it stands to reason that it has not been affected by the war, and there should be no chaotic army, even if there is, the combat effectiveness should not be so strong! You know, in order to show favor to Cai Yong, Dong Zhuo learned that Cai Yong was married, but he gave Cai Wenji fifty Liangzhou iron horsemen to escort her, but as a result, she was wiped out by this tattered team that looked like she was wearing tatters?
Cai Wenji was very puzzled, until she saw the vicious appearance of the thief who led the team, and the sturdy armor exposed in the tattered coats of the cavalry under the command of the thief, she vaguely understood something - where is this chaotic army, it is clearly a regular army that took the opportunity to come out to rob!
Cai Wenji was miserable in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Xiucai met soldiers, and it is unreasonable! What's more, she is just a weak woman, in case she angers the other party, it is good to be able to give birth to ten or eight children for the other party, for fear of being embraced by men and men.
"Cai Bojiao's daughter?"
The leading fierce general was obviously not frightened by Cai Wenji, but looked at Cai Wenji from head to toe with scrutiny, nodded while watching, and said a few words of laughter with the deputy general next to him, which gave Cai Wenji a sense of foreboding.
"General, please let me go back to Chang'an!"
Cai Wenji endured the fear in her heart and couldn't help but say another word.
"Okay, Mrs. Cai, please get in the car and set off, let's go back to Luoyang! Hahaha! ”
The vicious military general laughed, and then ordered left and right: "Be sure to send Mrs. Cai to the main palace safely, if you are missing half a hair, come and see you!" ”
"Yes!"
The left and right received the order, and then someone asked, "General Dian, what about the others?" ”
"Naturally, when I met the bandits, I was killed, and Mrs. Cai was also taken captive, but fortunately she was saved by the lord, and Mrs. Cai also fell in love with the lord at first sight, and composed a good story of heroes and beauties!"
General Dian, that is, Dian Wei, said seriously.
"But Mrs. Cai doesn't want to marry Hedong Wei'......"
"Hedong Wei? Where did Hedong Wei come from? Haven't they all been killed by the rebels? ”
Dian Wei sneered and beat his horse away.
He observed carefully just now, Cai Wenji is indeed a stunning beauty with outstanding appearance, and there is also an intellectual and mournful aura that Dong Huang's other women do not have.
Dian Wei, who was looking for a technician for Dong Huang, knew very well that this beauty must be the master's dish! It must be the lord's Cai!
Dian Wei's words did not avoid Cai Wenji, which also made Cai Wenji even more chilled.
is as smart as her, so she naturally has heard that Dian Wei is Dong Huang's subordinate, and she wants to dedicate her to Dong Huang! And it is a one-and-done way of killing the whole family.
But what can Cai Wenji do?
In history, she was snatched away by the Huns and gave birth to two babies without committing suicide, and she remarried after coming back.
At most, that is, to write it down in a small notebook, once you are favored by Dong Huang, you will find an opportunity to enter Dian Wei's slander.
"This general, I am willing to go to Luoyang to serve General Dong Shao, but these are the servants of the Cai Mansion, can you spare their lives?"
Cai Wenji made the only struggle she could.
With Cai Wenji on the road like this, Dian Wei didn't want to coerce the future pillow person of the lord too much, and decided to take a step back: "The maid next to Madame can stay!" ”
The others, of course, are going to die!
It is common sense to kill people and kill people, after all, it is not a glorious thing to snatch a bride on the way to get married.
"Humph!"
Cai Wenji, who knew that it was impossible to force Dian Wei to make more concessions, snorted lightly, waved her sleeves and returned to the car, out of sight.
After a while, there was an unbearable scream outside the car.
Cai Wenji hugged her body and trembled. The two maids who were only spared turned pale and trembled.
