The next morning, Liu Yuan got up and saw that the furnishings in the house were different from the ones in the Marquis 'Manor. He patted his forehead and suddenly wanted to get up and go to the Cai Manor. He only remembered that he drank a lot last night and vaguely plagiarized two poems. After that, he didn't know anything else.
"Did you do anything out of line last night?”Liu Yuan thought to himself," I often drink with Dian Wei. I drink five or eight jars, but I'm not drunk. Could it be that last night's situation was like the legendary drunkenness?”
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the door creaked open and a pretty servant girl came in with a basin of water. She wanted Liu Yuan to wash up.
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth with green salt, Liu Yuan was led to the living room by a servant girl. Seeing that the three members of the Cai family had arrived, he couldn't help but greet them.
"Nephew, did you sleep well last night?" Cai Yong's face still had that comforting smile: "Nephew was drunk last night. You were really bold!”
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle.”Liu Yuan scratched his head awkwardly and said unnaturally,""I lost my composure last night. I hope uncle won't take it to heart.”Seeing that Cai Yong didn't show any displeasure, Liu Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, God bless me, I didn't make a fool of myself last night.
After chatting and having breakfast, Liu Yuan bade farewell to Cai Yong, saying that he had many mundane matters to attend to and couldn't stay for long.
Cai Yong also knew that Liu Yuan had just become the Yuyang Prefect, so he must have many plans. He couldn't stay in the Cai Residence for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He could only personally send Liu Yuan to the door of the residence. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Liu Yuan carefully noticed Cai Yong's hesitant expression and couldn't help but say,""Uncle, what's the matter? As long as it was within Zi Hong's ability, he would not refuse.”
Cai Yong didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so meticulous. After hearing this, he looked Liu Yuan up and down carefully, exhaled, and said,""Last night, this old man discussed with Furen and felt that this nephew has a good character. I want to betroth my daughter to this nephew.”
Liu Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this and said,"Little sister's appearance?" Li, gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and talented, how could I not like her? He was afraid that he was not worthy of Zhao Ji, so he did not mention it to his uncle. He originally wanted to make a great contribution and become famous all over the world before proposing marriage. Unexpectedly, his uncle thought highly of his nephew, so how could he not agree? However, my mother isn't by my side this time, what should I do?”
Cai Yong saw Liu Yuan's expression and heaved a sigh of relief. He was a world-renowned scholar, and his fame and status were few and far between. This time, he admired Liu Yuan's talent. In addition, Liu Yuan was born in the royal family, so he had the idea of marrying his daughter off. He asked his wife, and she actually agreed. However, as the father of the bride, it was really difficult for him to say this. If Liu Yuan did not ask, he could only keep it in his heart and not say it.
At this moment, everyone was happy. Cai Yong said,"In-laws are not in Luoyang, so this old man will verbally decide on this marriage with you. When the time is ripe, it will not be too late to discuss marriage. Moreover, my daughter is twelve years old, and my nephew is only eleven years old. They are both young. I'm afraid that even if the in-laws are here, they will have to wait until Zhao Ji reaches adulthood before they can get married.”
Liu Yuan nodded and left.
It was not until Liu Yuan rode Big Yellow around the corner that Cai Yong was about to enter the door. Suddenly, a young man walked out from the corner and shouted,"Teacher, teacher!"
Cai Yong turned around and smiled." So it's Meng De. How come you have the time to come here?"”
The young man walked over and bowed.""Ah Man encountered a difficult problem and wanted to ask my teacher for advice.”
Cai Yong pulled him into the house affectionately.
"Teacher, who was the one who rode away on the ox just now? Why do you look unfamiliar?" Cao Cao pretended to ask casually.
" Hehe, that is the Marquis of Yuyang, Liu Zihong, who was personally conferred by His Majesty the day before yesterday."The two of you should get closer in the future. The old me has already betrothed Zhao Ji to him. In this way, the two of you can be considered fellow disciples. Ke ke…"
Cao Cao stopped in his tracks and was dumbfounded. Zhao Ji Cai Yan was the person he missed day and night. The two of them could be said to be childhood sweethearts. Unexpectedly, this time, someone else beat him to it, and it was even his enemy. How could he not feel resentment in his heart? However, Cao Cao was someone with deep thoughts, so he did not show any displeasure on his face. He only said,""Although Liu Zihong is a relative of the Han clan and has been conferred the title of Marquis Yuyang, he doesn't have the qualifications to be worthy of Junior Sister Zhaoji, right?”
Cai Yong nodded." You're right. If I'm not satisfied, even the Crown Prince won't be able to marry my Zhao Ji. I'm just very satisfied with Zihong's literary talent, so I'm tempted."”
Cao Cao knew his teacher's temperament. Just like that Yuan Shu who often teased Cai Yan, although he was of noble birth, he was an idiot. Many times he came to ask for a marriage, but he was chased out by his teacher, not giving the Yuan Family any face. Although the Yuan Family held great power, they didn't dare to force Cai Yong too much, because Cai Yong's reputation was too great. Especially in the eyes of scholars, only the other great scholar, Zheng Xuan Kang Cheng Gong, could compare to him.
When Cai Yong mentioned Liu Yuan, he remembered the two masterpieces that he had sung last night. He immediately pulled Cao Cao into the study and handed the two poems that he had spent half the night recording to Cao Cao."Meng De, please comment."
Cao Cao opened the paper and read it out softly,"“... A streaky horse, a thousand gold fur coat…To share with you the sorrow of eternity... I hope that people will live long, thousands of miles away together with the moon!”
"Good poem, good poem!" Although they were written by his enemy, Cao Cao was not stingy with his praise. These two poems were definitely masterpieces that would shake the world! Let him feel ashamed.
"No wonder Teacher betrothed Junior Sister Zhao Ji to that Liu Zihong. This person is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and is worthy of Zhao Ji!”Cao Cao thought to himself.
Not to mention Cai Yong and his disciple commenting on the poems, Liu Yuan happily returned to the marquis 'manor, his mouth crooked from laughter. He wished he could immediately transmit this news to his mother. When he returned home, he told everyone that he had become Cai Yong's son-in-law, making Guo Jia and Chen Qun extremely envious.
"Liu Zihong is really lucky. How could Lady Cai marry Miss Zhao Ji to such a barbarian? The heavens are unfair, the heavens are unfair!" Guo Jia sighed.
"Hehe, don't be envious. Don't worry, I'll definitely find you a peerless beauty in the future.”Liu Yuan said with a smile.
Guo Jia rolled his eyes."I'm Guo Fengxiao, a handsome and talented man. There are countless girls who want to marry me. Do I need your help? What a joke!"
Now, their relationship was quite harmonious. From time to time, they would joke and tell jokes.
While they were chatting and laughing, Dian Wei was like a shadow, standing behind Liu Yuan without saying a word. He only scratched his head and laughed foolishly when he heard the good part. Guo Jia often mocked Dian Wei, saying that his brain was not bright. However, Dian Wei's brain was indeed not bright. No matter what he said, he did not pick on him. Guo Fengxiao was born to be hit by a brick wall every time. From then on, he no longer had the interest to pay attention to Dian Wei.
A few days later, Liu Yuan visited some of the court officials, such as General He Jin and Wang Yun, but he did not go to Yuan Kui's residence. In his opinion, since he was going to be enemies in the future and had already formed a feud with the Yuan Brothers a few days ago, if he went now, wouldn't he be using his face to stick to their buttocks? it's too shameful.
That night, Liu Yuan called the fifty or so people under him, along with Guo Jia, Chen Qun, and Dian Wei, to the living room of the Marquis's Manor, saying that he had something to announce.
