In the fourth year of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a major event occurred in Luoyang.
At the entrance of the Imperial College, a stone tablet was erected. The contents were the Six Classics that had been officially approved. As a model for the world's scholars to revise their words, this was the famous Xi Ping Stone Scripture.
For a moment, the Imperial College was bustling with activity. There were many people who came here every day to read the calligraphy. There were thousands of cars, and the roads were blocked.
The writer of the Stone Scripture was the Eastern Han Dynasty's great historian, musician, painter, and calligrapher, Cai Yong.
It was also from that time onwards that the young students who came to ask Cai Yong for knowledge formed a long queue.
In the beginning, he always answered every question, but he was getting older and older. Finally, under Lady Liu's suggestion, he changed the class to a few days. Unfortunately, tomorrow was the day of the class.
Lady Liu, who knew about this, asked.
"Aiya, Mother! Zhang Tian came all the way here and the first person he wants to meet is my father. How can I refuse him?”
Cai Yan finally spoke up after she heard her mother talk about tomorrow's class, as if she was trying to shirk the responsibility of Zhang Tian's arrival.
"Haha, Yan 'er is right. Can we push the lesson to the day after tomorrow? It was probably enough to explain the situation clearly. Those students were also reasonable people.”
Cai Yong continued to laugh.
He then glanced at his daughter Cai Yan and said,"
"Oh right, tomorrow Zhang Ba Yuan will be here. You have to accompany him. You are all young people, so there might be a lot of topics to talk about. I've heard of the poem he wrote. It's very powerful. You should also ask for advice.”
"Father, I am a woman. How can I accompany you? Besides, no matter how powerful he is, can he be as powerful as you?”
Cai Yan seemed to be acting coquettishly as she flattered her father.
Cai Yong, who was very comfortable with being flattered, first smiled and then said,
"You can't say that. Every poem has its own unique characteristics. Father is old, so he can't write heroic poems that only young people can do.”
Under his father's repeated emphasis, Cai Yan could only pretend to reluctantly agree.
In fact, she had already thought about it. This time, she had to find a chance to meet Zhang Ba Yuan. He had heard many stories about this person.
Buying orphans in the refugee city showed his compassionate side.
If the poem was done well, it showed that there was a moral side to it.
To be able to kill enemies on the battlefield meant that he was a man deep in his bones.
Defeating the Yellow Turban Army instead of exterminating them proved that he was not a cruel person.
Wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't see such a man again?
However, Cai Yan didn't know that when Cai Yong looked at her, there was another meaning in his gaze.
Perhaps ordinary people wouldn't feel anything, but as a historian, Cai Yong was very clear that the current court had decayed. Consorts and eunuchs monopolized power, causing talented people to be unable to be reused.
In addition to the economic depression and the rebellion of the Yellow Turban bandits, if this continued, it would not be long before the country would be in chaos.
He was already fifty-one years old. At that age, he was already considered an elder.
Even if he died, it was fine, but what about his daughter?
She had lived by his side since she was young and did not know the viciousness of the human heart. If she did not make arrangements in advance, she did not know what kind of fate she would have in the future.
Thinking about Zhang Tian, he was indeed an outstanding young man. In addition, he had an elder brother who was a prefect. No matter what, he should be able to protect her. If possible, it would be a good idea to marry his daughter to this man.
Cai Yong actually had such a thought. If Zhang Tian knew about this in advance, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
After convincing his daughter to promise to accompany him tomorrow, Cai Yong went to his bedroom with a peace of mind.
Only Cai Yan was left sitting there, his face flushed red.
She wanted to see Zhang Tian immediately!
.........
The next morning, Wang De prepared some gifts according to his plan and ordered people to carry them to the backyard of Yuelai Residence for Zhang Tianyi to see.
Some of these gifts were Chen Liu's specialties, which were not easy to buy in the capital.
There were also some more valuable items that Zhang Tian used to show his respect.
It was the first time he went to his father-in-law's house, so he should have taken a lot of things. Therefore, after seeing the 20 boxes of gifts, Zhang Tian was not surprised. After a brief look, he said,"
"That's right. Send them all to the Cai Residence.”
With the order, the forty Zhang Clan Army guards immediately lifted the twenty boxes of gifts.
With Zhang Tian as the leader, Zhao Yun as the second, and eight Brocade Guards guarding the area, the group left the Yuelai Residence and headed straight for the Cai Residence.
It was difficult for a team of more than 50 people to not attract attention when walking on the streets.
What was more, Zhang Tian was dressed in white and riding a snow-white horse. He was standing in front of the group, which attracted more attention. As soon as he walked on the street, the passers-by couldn't help but point at him and ask about his background.
Zhang Tian, who was tall and straight like an adult, was in high spirits at this moment. His confident smile made him look more mature and handsome.
In the crowd, some members of the Heavenly Eye had already announced Zhang Tian's identity to the public according to the plan. Gradually, the onlookers knew his identity.
"Oh, this is the Second Young Master Chen Liu who made a great contribution in the Battle of Changshe.”
"Yeah, I even heard that he was the one who made the hero drunk?”
"Ah ah, I heard that not only is he good at making wine, but he can also speak into chapters.”
"What? Second Young Master is not only eloquent, he is also benevolent. In Chen Liu, he took in many orphans and scattered all their talents.”
"Ah, I heard that he respects his elder brother very much and takes his place as a father. This time, he was promoted to Luoyang as a filial and honest official.”
"No way. Looking at this direction, it doesn't seem like he's going into the palace. Where is he going?”
