chapter 14

In the late twelfth lunar month, Li Su, who had eaten snow and sand in western Liaoning for more than half a month, finally returned to Ji County in dust.

He also brought the latest progress report on Liu, Guan, Zhang and Gongsun Zan's complete elimination of the remnants of Youbeiping and Western Liaoning. The fugitive rebels in these two counties were finally wiped out as scheduled or Huairou was successful.

After returning to the city, he would contact the envoy to hand over the mission as usual.

When Liu Yu saw him, he couldn't help but look up and down first and ask a few questions about the task outline. He knew that Li Su was not easy either, so he patted his shoulder and joked:

"Thank you for your hard work, and things are done well. This trip looks a little thinner and taller. Young people are not as good as the champion. It turns out that it is also beneficial to work harder."

Liu Yu's words were just a coincidence.

When Li Sugang first traveled through time, because his physical basic quality was too poor, he was just a tender and tender servant with a height of less than 1.5 meters.

After a whole year of hard work and paying attention to nutrition after being rich, I barely caught a developmental last bus. I pulled up five inches in a year, but now it is almost over 1.6 meters.

But he lied that he was three years old and his physical body was only sixteen now. Liu Yu thought he was nineteen and was surprised why he still grew so fast.

Li Su didn't know why Liu Yu suddenly mentioned these things, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I'm making fun of you, my subordinates... may be more posting later."

Speaking human words means admitting that "brother is developing slowly."

Liu Yu looked at his nephews and was kind and caring: "As the end of the year approaches, business is leisurely, Boya never thought of breaking up any private matters? It turns out that he is very knowledgeable and arrogant. He has never seen that you are so short, and there are also famous Shuyuan who is worried about you, so he travels thousands of miles to visit and plead for you."

Li Su then realized that it was probably when Liu Yu sent him on a mission, a girl was worried about his safety and called her to the door.

Li Su thought to himself: "I don't know a few girls, either Cai Yan or the ladies of the Zhen family. But the lady of the Zhen family is still filial and must abide by etiquette. That's probably Cai Yan."

After thinking about it, he quickly smiled: "Is it because Mr. Cai's daughter disturbing the envoy?"

When Liu Yu saw that Li Su had guessed it himself, he praised him, "So, you have a close relationship. Could it be that you had any personal feelings when you were in Wuji for two months when you were writing books behind closed doors? Tsk tsk, although the "Appointment for Brother" was useless, he was sincere and sincere."

The Han Dynasty did not have such serious defenses between men and women. Even widows remarried like a cow. Li Su and Cai Yan were unmarried. Others didn't think anything about joking, but instead treated him as their own.

Li Su: "I laughed at you. I just don't know a few young women. After guessing, I'm the only junior sister Cai."

Liu Yu: "What's the secret to this? Marriage between men and women is a common law. You are so young, you are in a high position of thousands of stones and are unmarried, which is upright.

As for the little girl of Mr. Cai’s family, although she looks straightforward, she is also a famous Shuyuan and is a good match for you. What’s more, she has a friendship with her family, and it is unknown that it is said to be a good story that has been recorded in history."

Li Su couldn't resist it and quickly confirmed: "As soon as the envoy came, he mentioned this matter, was it because of his mentor Cai?"

Liu Yu's face stopped: "Isn't I the one who Cai Boyi asked me to do? I just saw that you were born in a miserable and had no relatives in the world. I treat you as my nephew and I just advise you."

Li Su quickly expressed his opinion: "Since this is the case, I thank the envoy for your care. However, Su was lonely and poor and weak, and only then had the opportunity to study this year. The technique of health preservation for Laozhuang was cultivated by... a boy-like young man. What's more, the junior sister of the Cai family is too young, so it's better to postpone it for one or two years. When Su and junior sister of Cai are in their prime, Su can cook and dare not bother you to worry about such trivial matters."

These words are actually not very good at selling, but Li Su's real idea is: getting close to women too early will lead to the end of development. His body has grown so short and thin in the first 15 years. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to go high and work hard at the age of 16 to 18, and throwing away his virginity so early, wouldn't he be a joke about his whole life's health?

I'll endure it for another two years, and there's no hurry.

Liu Yu was stunned and giggled and patted Li Su on the shoulder: "I just saw that they came to the door, and they were sincere and mentioned casually. This is your private matter, just be sure of it yourself. I kept Mr. Cai and his daughter in Jixian for the New Year. Before the New Year, you will have time to go around."

"yes."

...

After Li Su said goodbye to Liu Yu, he also felt it was a little tricky, and he was also moved.

He didn't expect that Cai Yan would care so much about him, and would worry about whether he had offended someone as an envoy and killed by Qiu Liju.

Although Li Su is not at all dangerous from beginning to end, there are girls who always think about you and make things worse, which makes him a straight man like him proud.

He was a Buddhist man in his previous life, but it doesn't mean he has never found a woman - he just knew that he could not afford to raise children, so he did not harm those good girls who wanted to take care of their husbands and educate their children.

But if the woman was just having sex with a lovely marriage, she wouldn't necessarily refuse anyway.

So women experienced it in his previous life. As for the unforgettable love, it does not exist - love is a luxury of life. Humble ordinary people do not want to bear too much pressure, so how can they force it?

After traveling through time, he has been avoiding the issue of women because of the aforementioned health reasons. He knows that he will exercise and pay attention to nutrition in the next two years, and he will probably not be as tall as Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei.

But working hard, there is still hope for seven feet and five inches like Liu Bei. As long as you often find a cow that has fallen to eat beef, endure the sour taste of today's dairy products, drink more beef and sheep milk from Youzhou, and learn from Hu people to eat more crispy cheese. (The milk of ordinary cows in ancient times was sour and not delicious, mainly for nutrition. Later, after the breeding of black and white dairy cows appeared, there was no smell and mellow milk)

He was also very glad that in the first two years after his time travel, he lived in Youzhou. If he went to the south, there would be so much beef and milk.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this point, go to Cai Yong to explain it clearly and see what he means. I am all a hero in the court who is a rank of Qianshi. I guess the Cai family will definitely be willing to marry into the Cai family. In history, Cai Yong did not like to cling to the powerful and nobles on the issue of in-laws. The Cai family felt insecure, so they made a decision first and made an appointment to wait for the junior sister and the hairpin to marry again."

A woman's age at the age of fifteen. When she is fifteen, she has to wear a hairpin and tie her hair back with her hairpin, so she can marry a woman at any time.

Thinking of this, Li Su turned his horse's head and headed straight for Cai Yong's residence.

He is so straightforward and unambiguous in his work.

"Sir Cai, junior sister, I'm back. I'm worried about you, it's all my fault."

When he arrived at the place, he didn't wait for anyone to report it, and threw the horse directly to the servant at the door, lifted his foot and went in.

"It's Boya. Zhao Ji has been talking about the hard and cold weather in western Liaoning, and it's very difficult to go all the way." Cai Yong twisted his beard and went out to greet him, not daring to act as a nominal mentor at all.

"Senior Brother! You are so unconscienced. If you succeed, you won't send us a letter. In the middle of the month, I thought you were harmed by Qiu Liju! I made me hide in the night and cry secretly." Cai Yan came out with a full face, poked Li Su with his fingers, and told him while pointing his fingers.

Cai Yong had a stern face: "Zhao Ji! How indecent it is to touch you!"

Cai Yan turned around and put his hips on his hips: "Senior brother is his own, he doesn't mind."

Li Su touched the little girl's hair: "Junior sister, let's go in first, don't stand in the snow, I have something to talk to the master."

Cai Yan's heartbeat was a little faster without realizing it, and she said in a flash: "Then you guys talk, I'll give you a pot of wine."

Alas, in the era when there is no habit of drinking tea, chatting is troublesome. No matter big or small, you just drink and chat. The wine you choose is a little lower, and it is not easy to get drunk if you drink too much.

This is also the reason why the standards for tasting wine in the late Han Dynasty are so divided: people generally regard wine as a banquet drink for regular meals, or lubrication for chatting with guests. As the former, the wine is required to have a higher degree, preferably 17 or 8 degrees like the Zhongshan winter brew, but the wine as a chat tool should be low, fresh and elegant.

Therefore, wines that are high and low are good wines. As long as they are pure and clear, the middle degree is turbid and unclear.

While Cai Yan was walking away with a hot drink, Li Su was about to show up with Cai Yong. From this point of view, Li Su had completely adapted to the etiquette and laws of the Han Dynasty. Since it was about marriage, it was unreasonable to talk to girls like a free love, and they would just ask their parents to finalize.

Anyway, the result is good, and you can be happy and you are happy, that's fine. What is the sense of ritual in free love? Li Su is not a sentimental romance lover.

"Shi Cai, this time my junior sister took you to Jixian to find out about my news. It seems that all the powerful people in the city already know it. They will not violate the reputation of my junior sister, right? Even the envoy intervened to interfere.

If Master Cai is indeed troubled, Su is willing to take responsibility - I know that this statement is spoken by me personally, and there are many differences in etiquette and law, but the elders in the Su family have been abandoned for many years, so only the envoy treats me as his nephew, so I have to say it myself."

Although he knew that Li Su and his daughter had such a ignorant feeling, Cai Yong was still a little confused when he heard Li Su speak so frankly.

Are scholars so righteous in finding wives these days?

It also seems that Cai Yan asked him to be responsible because he "care for his senior brother Qianli has ruined his reputation."

It's really not artificial at all.

Cai Yong also needs to keep a little face: "Zhao Ji's temperament is all because I have no children to inherit what I have learned throughout my life. Therefore, I have taught her too much miscellaneous learning since I was a child, so I have such a temperament. Looking for my brother for thousands of miles will not harm her reputation. If Boya had no other love for Zhao Ji, there was no need to be rushing to take responsibility!

She is still young, and she can afford to be gratified for another year or two. In addition, I have a point of view that my family does not need to cling to the powerful and nobles. In the future, she chooses a son-in-law and has good knowledge, morality and talent. This is certainly a blessing for Zhao Ji. But money and family background are not important.

Since I finished the review of "Theory of Refuting Disasters and Disasters" and "The Palace of Blessings", I also had a vague premonition that when the Youzhou rebels were completely destroyed, I am afraid that sooner or later I will be recalled to the court as an official.

The longer I wrote the "On the Blessed Relationship of Palaces", the more I felt that what I had discussed was deeply rooted in it. Although the Han Dynasty was so declining, the advocate would eventually be punished by God, before he was punished by God, the central government of the court might not be able to avoid a bloody storm. The court asked me to be an official, if I could be a noble and scattered official, or to be placed in a peaceful and prosperous place, that would be the best.

If you have to live in the center, I would rather choose an herd to guard the place, An Ning family, who will entrust Zhaoji to avoid my worries - Boya, you, I will be at ease with you, my teacher and student, your talent, knowledge and character. I am only afraid that you will be successful in your youth, climb too quickly and get carried away, suddenly enter the center, and be lost in the danger of the capital. If you can always give up your responsibilities, wait for the time, and betroth your daughter to you, there is nothing to worry about."

Li Su thought to himself: Cai Yong is a realistic person who is not a fool. He made a fuss for a long time because he was worried that he would be promoted to become an official in Beijing too soon.

Perhaps in history, after Cai Yong was recalled by Dong Zhuo to Luoyang and became a Beijing official, he had a premonition that Dong Zhuo would not be able to last long. Staying in Luoyang was a dangerous place, so he hurriedly married his daughter to Hedong. Otherwise, the powerful families in Luoyang City, as well as young talents who are suitable for marriage, would be more decent than the Wei family in Hedong.

To put it bluntly, Cai Yong is just a coward, so he leaves a way out.

That's just right. Anyway, Li Su would never be a Beijing official after Emperor Ling of Han's death. By then, he would have found a base with Liu Bei.

"Since that's the case, both of you and I have doubts. Just in time, I promised not to discuss marriage within two years. I think the current emperor will live for only two years at most, which is known to everyone in the world. It is hard to say about the future court. If I can ensure that I can leave the center of the center, I will talk about today's proposal."

Li Su openly wrote a blank check first and sold a favor for nothing.
