Chapter 6: Cai Yan (2)
"Wen Ji, I heard that you have lived in Wu in recent years?"
“…”
"Why don't you talk?"
“…”
Perhaps because of dissatisfaction with Liu Bian changing her words without authorization, Cai Yan resisted with a blank expression and silent expression.
Liu Bian was not angry. On the contrary, he felt that Cai Yan, who was faintly resentful, was very cute. Guo Sheng, who was beside him, could not help but squint, and said sinisterly: "Mr. Shi admires Miss Cai, how to tolerate Miss Cai, but Miss Cai should not be arrogant because of favor. If it is spread, I would think that Ling Zun has any resentment towards Mar. Shi and His Majesty..."
What a smart woman Cai Yan was. Of course, he could understand Guo Sheng's threatening words, and his face couldn't help but show a deep fear, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Liu Bian patted her little hand gently, turned to Guo Sheng and said with a smile: "Don't scare her, I scared her, I want to blame Mr. Guo."
Guo Sheng quickly accused him of crime: "It's me that I'm talking too much, Shi Hou forgives me."
Seeing this, Liu Bian turned his head to look at Cai Yan again, grinned and said, "Wen Ji, don't worry, from today on, you will be my woman, and no one in the palace can bully you... except me."
“…”
Cai Yan looked at Liu Bian, wondering what expression he should have.
Even she could see that this Shi Hou was only about ten years old and was still a half-year-old child, about five years younger than her, but such a child swears that she was his woman. Even though Cai Yan was resentful of Liu Bian's order to force her to bring her to the Han Palace, he couldn't help but feel amused and crying when he heard this.
She really didn't understand where this Shi Hou, who was only ten years old and had never met her, had a crush on her, so that she had ruined her marriage with the second prince of the Wei family in Hedong and forced her to the Han Palace.
“…”
She snatched silently.
Without twitching, her left hand was still pinched by the Shi Hou. It was obvious that the other party noticed it and even squeezed at her.
Small chromogenic!
She cursed in her heart.
Soon, a little eunuch took Liu Bian's winter clothes to protect him.
Liu Bian patted Cai Yan's hand and said with concern: "I have a lot to say to Wen Ji, but I'd better wait until Wen Ji put it on... Although it's already spring in February, the weather has not yet warmed up, so it's not good if you get frostbite."
That's it, but he held Cai Yan's hand and refused to let go, which made Cai Yan secretly angry.
"hand……"
She whispered quietly.
"What? Oh."
After Cai Yan's reminder, Liu Bian suddenly realized and let go of Cai Yan's hand as if he was reluctant to leave.
Seeing his reluctant appearance, Cai Yan was naturally embarrassed and even Guo Sheng frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Liu Bian was so obsessed with a woman who was five years older than him and had never seen before.
However, Liu Bian's attitude also reminded Guo Sheng: Unless necessary, don't offend the daughter of Cai in the future, maybe this person will be the future queen.
Under Liu Bian and Guo Sheng's eyes, Cai Yan took the winter clothes and wore them on her body.
I have to say that my body has indeed become much warmer, but she is not happy at all. If it weren't for the little leucorr who grabbed her hand and refused to let go for a long time, so that she could only find a way to "rescue herself", she wouldn't want to accept it at all.
"It's so beautiful." His praise came to her ears.
She replied casually: "Mr. Shi Hou has been awarded too much. The figure of the concubine's daughter Pu Liu can't afford to be beautiful..."
"Oh, then I'll take it back."
“…”
Even with Cai Yan's calm personality, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Liu Bian, but saw Liu Bian's bright smile, which made her feel even more angry.
However, she didn't dare to show anything. The only thing she could do was curse in her heart: This little lemish is so hateful!
Unfortunately, Liu Bian couldn't hear it, and asked intimately again: "Wenji, how old are you?"
Perhaps because of the threat from Guo Sheng, Cai Yan was afraid that her father Cai Yong would be implicated by her uncooperation, so she had to answer truthfully: "The concubine's daughter is fifteen and five years old this year..."
"Um." Liu Bian nodded and said, "I am ten years old this year, and you and I are just right."
The age difference is five years, and the ages are still young and young, so is this a perfect match?
Cai Yan looked at Liu Bian meaningfully, but Guo Sheng echoed from the side: "What Shi Hou said is very true. Only older women know how to love others. Moreover, Miss Cai is the daughter of Doctor Cai, who is well-educated and well-informed, and is even more apt to match."
Liu Bian was very happy to be said, at least he was very happy, but Cai Yan looked at Guo Sheng with an expressionless face, with a faint look of disgust and disgust in her eyes. Obviously, she also knew what the ten regular attendants in the palace were.
However, in order not to cause trouble for her father Cai Yong, she did not dare to show it. After glanced at Guo Sheng, she lowered her head.
Afterwards, under Liu Bian's inquiry, Cai Yan also told about her experience of living in Wuhui with her father Cai Yong, and during which she mentioned her marriage with Wei Zhongdao, the second son of the Wei family in Hedong.
As Liu Bian understood, the Tai Shanyang family was the head of Yang Xu, who served as the prefect of Nanyang. His son Yang Hui married the daughter of the famous scholar Kong Rong. He was very sad that the Kong family had died early. When Cai Yong used the Yang family to escape to the Wuhui land, he married his eldest daughter Cai Zhenji to Yang Hui as his successor.
The Taishan Yang family has always had a friendship with the Wei family in Hedong. When the Wei family learned that the famous Cai Langzhong had a young daughter named Cai Zhaoji, he entrusted the Yang family to propose marriage to Cai Yong.
The Wei family in Hedong is also a well-known gentry, so Cai Yong naturally would not refuse, so the two families quickly agreed to meet Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan many times. Whether it was the two parties involved or the elders of the two families, they were very satisfied with the marriage.
However, at this moment, the evil servants of the Ten Eunuchs suddenly arrived and forced the Taishan Goat clan, the Hedong Wei clan, and Cai Yong to the three sides.
Although the Taishan Goat family and the Hedong Wei family are both famous local families, how can they withstand the overwhelming power of the Ten Constables?
So the Wei family in Hedong threatened to terminate the engagement with the Cai family, and Cai Yong had no choice but to send his second daughter to the Han Palace in Luoyang.
The originally happy marriage failed because of this. How could Cai Yan not hate the Ten Constellations, and how could he not hate Liu Bian?
She said with a resentful look: "...Shi Hou sent someone to the time, the concubine's daughter had already had a marriage contract. However, the person sent by Shi Hou was arrogant and unreasonable, threatening the Wei family in Hedong to withdraw the engagement and force the concubine's daughter to come to the Han Palace..."
Looking at Cai Yan's resentful look, Liu Bian was secretly amused.
He did not think that the marriage between Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan was a happy marriage. If he had no bad memory, Wei Zhongdao passed away a few years after his marriage. At that time, the Wei family accused Cai Yan of defeating his husband, and was so angry that Cai Yan moved back to his parents' home. Later, he was kidnapped by Hu cavalry during the chaos in the world and presented it to the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu. It was not until more than ten years later that Cao Cao used money to redeem it - yes, it was redemption, and could be redeemed with money. It can be seen that Cai Yan had no status with Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu at that time.
What's even more tragic is that Cao Cao married Cai Yan to Dong Si the second time afterwards, but in fact Dong Si was not willing to do so, but he reluctantly agreed without wanting to anger Cao Cao. Naturally, he would not be too kind to Cai Yan.
But even so, when Dong Si was questioned by Cao Cao for committing a crime, Cai Yan still pleaded with barefoot to plead with Cao Cao.
Unfortunately, Liu Bian couldn't tell Cai Yan these things.
Of course, there is no need to say that he has made up his mind to change the fate of this woman, and he is confident that he can do it.
"Hedong Wei family is not a good match." He shook his head and said, "Wei Zhongdao is even more blessed."
It was clearly telling the truth, but unfortunately Cai Yan couldn't understand it, and his face was so angry that Guo Sheng echoed: "How can a mere Wei family be compared with Shi Hou?... This time Wei family is quite sensible, otherwise, hum!"
Hearing these words, Cai Yan became more angry and said nothing.
Liu Bian and Guo Sheng both saw it, but neither expressed it.
Guo Sheng did not say that it was because he had realized Liu Bian's favor for this woman. As long as Liu Bian didn't speak, he would not do anything thankless; as for Liu Bian, he believed that Cai Yan would change his mind sooner or later.
After all, a female writer later said that the closest distance to a woman's heart is the path to the intestine below her navel.
If Liu Bian hadn't had that ability for the time being, I believe that Cai Yan would completely forget Wei Zhongdao in less than a few months.
"What a pity..."
Liu Bian smacked his lips secretly.
As lunch approached, Guo Sheng was not good enough to stay.
So he said to Liu Bian: "Mr. Shi, if nothing else is done, then the old minister will take his leave first."
Liu Bian nodded and immediately said to Guo Sheng: "This time, thanks to Mr. Guo and all the attendants, otherwise I would have missed the beauty and regretted it. In the future, I will definitely give you some kind of reward..."
Although Guo Sheng was amused at Liu Bian's young age, he even said the beauty, but Liu Bian's promise made him very happy.
This time, his Ten General Assassin helped Liu Bian find someone, wasn’t he just trying to curry favor with this future prince?
He said happily: "As slaves from the Han Dynasty, I should share my worries with His Majesty and the Marquis of Shi, and I dare not seek repatriation."
However, even though he was happy, he did not forget to smile and hint Cai Yan before leaving: "Miss Cai is still young and does not know that the Zhongyi District in this world is easily deceived by rumors. Just serve Shi Hou well. Don't say any nonsense rumors in front of Shi Hou, otherwise your Majesty will blame him, and that would be bad."
Cai Yan's petite body shook slightly when he heard this, and he subconsciously lowered his head.
Liu Bian pretended not to see this scene. After all, what the Ten Eunuchs are, and what the situation in the temple is like today. He knew very well. He didn't need Cai Yan to tell him, let alone even this talented woman, there were cognitive deviations.
For example, scholars, are scholars all good people?
not necessarily!
For example, Yuan's family of the fourth generation and the third generation...
Especially Yuan Shao.
Two years later, the Luoyang Palace changed, the Han Dynasty fell, and Dong Zhuo took over, so this guy had to bear at least half of the responsibility.
But he can't move Yuan Shao at the moment, and he doesn't have the intention for the time being. His intention...
He turned his head to look at Cai Yan sitting aside, and once again showed a bright smile. Cai Yan was panicked and his right hand subconsciously covered his chest.
he……
