The holy decree has been issued, and the people of Longxiang Li Mansion and others have acted quickly, and many trivial matters need to be taken care of.

Although the Longxiang Li Mansion is a newly hung door, there are nearly 100 servants and maidservants in the mansion, not to mention that Li Li's 500 personal guards are stationed.

Since then, there are a lot of people in the Li Mansion, and there are many things that need to be done to deal with the aftermath.

However, Li Li handed over all these things to the old housekeeper Li Fu to take care of, and he started to be the shopkeeper himself, but he was very idle.

The day after the holy decree was given, Li Li learned that he was promoted to the position of Captain of Qiang and Wuwei Taishou this time, thanks to Cai Zhonglang's strong recommendation.

For this, Li Li is very grateful to Cai Yong.

The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Li Li took more than 100 personal soldiers to escort several carriages carrying generous gifts, and rode on the famous horse Huang Yu to Cai's mansion.

The gifts he brought this time can be said to be all he had, and many of the original treasured utensils and rare antiques in the house were loaded into the car and pulled to Cai's mansion in one go.

Anyway, these things look strange, but they are not very useful in practice.

In addition, Li Li is about to go to Liangzhou to take office, and the Li Mansion of Longxiang will be an empty house from now on, leaving dozens of servants to guard the door.

Walking on the street, the pedestrians on the side of the road looked sideways, pointed at Li Li and his party, and speculated that this Li Daguan, who lived in Civilian Lane, was going to propose marriage, and the bride price was expensive, and it seemed that the other party must be the daughter of a big family.

On Cai's mansion, the gatekeeper was no stranger to Li Li, and while entering the house to report, he welcomed Li Li and his party into the courtyard.

"Wenchang, what are you····· You're not going to move all the things from home, are you? ”

Hearing that Li Li was coming, Cai Yan walked up quickly with the maid Xiaohuan and asked in surprise.

Li Li smiled calmly, waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to move the utensils on the carriage into Cai's mansion, and then said to Cai Yan with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you say, but it's not far off." ”

While speaking, Li Li paused, walked lightly to Cai Yan's side, and whispered in her ear: "Zhao Ji, this time I smashed the pot and sold iron to propose marriage, are you very moved, do you want to consider coming with me?" Hehehe! ”

"Ahh You ······ Mouth-free, I'll ignore you! ”

Cai Yan was embarrassed, her pretty face was as red as a glow, and she gave Li Li an angry and ashamed look, and then pulled the maid Xiaohuan and turned away.

"Haha!"

Seeing Cai Yan leave in shame, Li Li suddenly laughed and was very proud.

Inside the lobby.

Li Li sat under Cai Yong, still humble and polite, looking like a good child.

After some greetings, Li Li solemnly thanked Cai Yong, and his gratitude was beyond words.

When Li Li spoke, Cai Yong looked solemn, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked preoccupied.

"Uncle Cai, what's wrong with you? Although Wuwei County has a long way to go, the people are fierce, and they do not accept the king, but the little nephew has the confidence to lay a foundation there, fight hard, resist the barbarians, and protect the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

Cai Yong was stunned for a while, then looked at Li Li with deep eyes, and asked solemnly: "Wenchang, do you know that there are many old husbands and protégés, but why do you look at you differently?" The old man recognizes you as a nephew and strongly recommends you to go to Liangzhou to work, treating you as a close relative, have you ever thought about weishenme? ”

"Huh? This ······ The little nephew never thought about it. Please also ask Uncle Cai to show it. ”

Li Li's expression changed slightly, and in the midst of a thousand thoughts, he replied frankly.

Cai Yong seemed to have known that Li Li would have such a reaction, and said with a solemn expression: "Wenchang, in you, the old man saw the shadow of another person, and that person is the current Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao. Like him, you are thoughtful, humble and courteous, ambitious, and heroic. And most importantly······ Both of you love Zhao Ji!

In the past, Cao Cao was also like you in my house, he was very humble to the old man and nephew, and he was even more caring for Zhao Ji, and gave her gifts twice in three days. It's just that Zhao Ji fell in love with Wei Zhongdao at that time, and Cao Cao was older and looked different from ordinary people, so the old man directly rejected Cao Cao.

What the old man didn't expect was that Wei Zhongdao was suffering from an old disease, and he couldn't afford to get sick after less than half a year of marrying Zhao Ji, and then he was hard to get rid of, and unfortunately died. It doesn't matter if he leaves, but he hurts Zhao Ji, and is not allowed by the Wei family, and is regarded as a demon woman. The old man felt deeply guilty about this, and often felt sorry for Zhao Ji, if the old man hadn't rejected Cao Cao at the beginning, maybe Zhao Ji's fate would not have been so miserable.

Wenchang, do you understand what the old man said? ”

Li Li's heart shook violently at this time, and even his breathing was a little short, he never thought that Cai Yan would have such a relationship with Cao Cao.

According to historical records, eight years after Cai Yan was abducted to the grassland by the Southern Huns, Cao Cao went north to the grassland and ransomed her back from the Huns with a lot of money.

It turned out that Cai Yan was Cao Cao's first love, no wonder Lao Cao was old and spent a lot of money to redeem her. zuihou, although Cao Cao failed to taste his long-cherished wish and returned to the beauty, he also won the reputation of a scholar returning to Han.

After the Han Dynasty woman got married, she was able to take the word, so there is a saying that "the word is in the boudoir".

And Cai Yan's character was originally Zhao Ji, but later Sima stole the world, Zhao Ji changed "Zhao" to "Wen" because of avoiding the name of Sima Zhao, so it was called "Cai Wenji".

Thinking of the allusions of later generations, for a while, Li Lizhen didn't know whether he should be happy or angry, and he didn't realize that his holiday with Cao Cao was so deep.

The entire Li family in Beidi County was destroyed in the hands of Cao Cao, and Cai Yan was also the person he had coveted for a long time and never forgot.

However, time and space rotate, everything starts all over again, as long as there is still me Li Li in the world, I vow to fight with Cao Aman to the end.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, you Cao Cao can fight for it, can't I, Li Li, compete for the world?

Cai Yan is your first love, but she is now the fat on my lips, how can she be easily missed?

It's not that enemies don't get together, and the ancients don't deceive me.

After a hundred thoughts turned, Li Li also understood the meaning of Cai Yong's words, "It seems that this old man has the same thoughts as himself, I want to worship him as my father-in-law, and he really has the intention of accepting me as an uncle." ”

Secretly proud in his heart, Li Li pretended to make a look of ignorance, and said honestly: "Uncle Cai, this kind of thing is ·····, uh, the little nephew really doesn't dare to speculate without authorization, so as not to ruin Zhao Ji's reputation." ”

"Huh?"

Cai Yong was stunned, and a pair of discerning eyes that could penetrate people's hearts looked at Li Li with a solemn expression.

After a while, a sly smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "Wenchang, the old man thought that you liked little girls before, but it seems that I am really old and dizzy, and I have lost my eyes." Since you don't mean that, then I have nothing to say. In this way, stay in the house for lunch, and then you will prepare to go to Wuwei to take office. ”

"Ahh This ······ Uncle Cai, you misunderstood what your little nephew meant. I mean, I really like Zhao Ji, I don't know what you think about it? ”

was suddenly forced into a corner by Cai Yong, Li Li suddenly became anxious, no longer reserved, and directly said what he thought in his heart.

It's just that as soon as the words came out, Li Li knew that he was in the way of Old Master Cai. was too anxious, cared too much about Cai Yan, and was easily tricked out by the old guy.

But a manly man, a mouthful of spit and a nail. Now that he has made his words clear, Li Li can also face it calmly.

"Hehehe! This is a really good man! ”

Cai Yong said with a smile. Immediately, his face changed, and he said solemnly: "Wenchang, since you are interested in Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji also has a good impression of you, the old man will naturally not intervene and act as a villain." On the contrary, I will do my best to help you succeed, and I only hope that you will treat Zhao Ji well in the future and not let her be harmed.

Although Liangzhou is chaotic and the princes are divided, the people there are simple and simple, the sky is high and the sky is wide, and it is not as depressed as Chang'an City. When you set off, take Zhao Ji away and let her go out with you. Otherwise, she had a bitter face all day long, and the old man felt distressed. ”

"Ahh Uncle Cai, you ····· You say let me take Zhao Ji away? Li Li asked in horror and inexplicably.

Cai Yong looked at Li Li with a solemn face, nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, Zhao Ji will entrust it to you!" I hope that the old man did not look at the wrong person this time, and found a person who can really be entrusted to Zhao Ji for life! ”

Li Li's current thinking is really a little unable to keep up with Cai Yong's train of thought. He never expected that Cai Yong would hand over Cai Yan to himself so easily?

weishenme？ Could it be that he has a good face and is so easy to be trusted?

"Uncle Cai, do you really trust me so much? I'm not afraid that I'm a white-eyed wolf, and I'm gaining your trust just to get an official position; After taking advantage of Zhao Ji, and then abandon her? ”

Now that the matter has been clarified, Li Li no longer has any scruples and asks bluntly.

Cai Yong stared at Li Li and gently spit out a sentence, "Are you such a person?" ”

Li Li was speechless and rolled his eyes.

Cai Yong's expression was complicated, and he continued solemnly: "Wenchang should have some understanding of the old man's current situation. The old man was caught between Wang Yun and other old ministers and Dong Zhuo, and he was in a dilemma and was in a difficult situation. At present, although Dong Taishi has the advantage, I have known Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others for many years, and I know very well the temperament of these old ministers. At present, they are openly subservient to Taishi Dong, cautious, and living in a simple place, but they are thinking about getting rid of Taishi all the time.

The bane has been planted, and sooner or later the conflict between them will intensify and cause an uproar. And I was sandwiched between them, not a human being inside and out, so I could only help each other, close my door, and devote myself to writing books. When they split the winners and losers, that is, the day when Cai Yong's catastrophe was imminent, it was always difficult to be alone.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the old man still has a little thin face at the moment, he will be cheeky enough to get you an official and a half-job, take Zhao Ji away, and stay away from this place. Enemies are not scary, and truly scary enemies often come from people you know well around or behind you. The old man believes that a person who can defeat even a famous general like Zhu Jun will definitely not break in the hands of a group of Xiliang reckless men, and you will definitely be safe.

The old man was a little tired, so he went back to the room to rest first, and Wenchang took care of himself. ”

Cai Yong is really tired, but a generation of Confucians has been pulled into the cracks of political competition, exhausted, walking on thin ice.
