"By the way, Cai Mansion's betrothal gift should be as little gold and silver as possible..."
Liu Qi gave Qian Bojun one final warning.
At this time, a eunuch in the palace was lying tightly on the ground. Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong looked at the scroll presented and said nothing for a long time.
Cough cough cough!
As the coughing sound stopped, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the skinny Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
"Wang Sheng, you have to take care of this for me, otherwise I'll come to see you."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely handle this matter properly. Just wait and see."
Wang Sheng knew that this was a huge opportunity for him. Once he got it done, he would become famous.
"Your Majesty, you don't know which concubine you want to visit tonight?"
Eunuch Wang Sheng asked cautiously, but the aloof Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong didn't seem to hear him.
"Such a peerless beauty, three thousand beauties are simply rubbish. I will sleep in the study tonight."
Liu Hong's hand gently touched the portrait in the scroll and murmured to himself.
The eunuch Wang Sheng quietly retreated.
The autumn air was crisp and the clouds were light and the wind was gentle. Liu Qi's robe was arranged over and over again by the little maid.
"Sir, Cai Yong, the great scholar, has a great reputation, so we can't be careless, let alone come to ask for a hand in marriage..."
Listening to these nagging words, Liu Qi did not feel bored, but felt very warm.
The identity of the county head given by the emperor only made Huang Wudie happy for a while, and then she returned to the role of the little maid.
"My lord, the bride price has been prepared, it's time to set off."
Qian Bojun came in to report, and his robes were also clean and tidy.
"Walk."
Liu Qi said crisply and did not bring anyone else with him except Dian Wei and Qian Bojun.
"This is a greeting card from my Lord Marquis."
The subordinate handed the post over respectfully. Although the person from Cai Mansion was just an old housekeeper, he did not look down upon it at all.
"It turns out that Mr. Ren Yonghou is here. I'm going to report it right now. Please wait here."
Obviously the Cai Mansion had known for a long time that Liu Qi would come. The old housekeeper looked at Liu Qi and couldn't help but secretly praise him.
Wearing a crescent-moon white brocade robe, with handsome features, and surrounded by jade trees in the wind, he is a handsome young man.
"Miss, my uncle has come to propose marriage."
The maid Xiaocui, who had been observing the situation outside for a long time, hurriedly ran into Cai Wenji's boudoir.
Cai Wenji, who was sitting in meditation, could not help but become nervous.
That day, my father was not very satisfied with Liu Qi's attitude, and I was afraid that this little guy was going to suffer.
"Xiao Cui, bring me the cloak."
Cai Wenji was afraid that her sweetheart would be scolded, so she hurried to the front hall of the mansion.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the living room, which was obviously very unfriendly.
"Marquis Renyong, I don't agree with this marriage, you'd better take it back."
The great scholar Cai Yong looked at Liu Qi opposite him and suddenly flicked his sleeves and said.
Apparently an eviction order was issued.
Cai Wenji couldn't help but tremble when she heard this. If her father firmly refused to agree, what should she do?
My mother passed away early, and my father raised me up with one hand. My father's love is like a mountain and an ocean.
Liu Qi was also stunned when he heard this. What was going on? It seemed that Old Taishan was not very satisfied with him.
When he came up, he gave himself a killing stick. It seemed that he had never offended this old man.
"My father-in-law, where did you start talking about this? Just call me boy Boyu."
Seeing the solemn salute, Cai Yong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
I have never seen anyone so thick-skinned before. He pointed at Liu Qi and said nothing for a long time.
Cai Wenji, who was eavesdropping outside, was still worried. She almost laughed out loud when she heard the address "father-in-law" and quickly covered her mouth.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law shows his sincerity towards your daughter. The sun and the moon can tell..."
"Of course my son-in-law's admiration for his father-in-law is as endless as the water of the Yellow River..."
Even Cai Yong, a great scholar who was well-informed and knowledgeable, was confused when he heard this series of words.
This guy is also very good at taking pictures, and his pictures are quite comfortable to listen to.
"Someone, bring up the bride price..."
"Slowly..."
The great scholar Cai Yong wanted to say wait a minute, but it was already too late if he didn't need to raise his eyebrows.
Qian Bojun directed the soldiers to place several large boxes neatly on the ground.
"It's just some stuff from Adu. I don't care about it, so take it away quickly."
Seeing the big box making a heavy sound when it was placed on the ground, Cai Yong couldn't help but frown and said.
The Cai family is originally a scholarly family, how could they take a fancy to gold, silver and other treasures.
Seeing that Cai Yong was about to walk away, Liu Qi quickly stopped him.
"Father-in-law, wait a minute, I have to decide whether the gift is what you want or not."
With a wave of his hand, the first box was opened.
call……
Cai Yong was stunned at first glance.
“Taishan carved stone!”
The most representative stone carvings of characters in the Qin Dynasty, the font structure is long and uniform, the brush strokes are smooth and flying, the style is beautiful, vivid and powerful...
Cai Yong couldn't help but touch the carved stone with his hands and immersed himself in it, with a look of intoxication on his face.
"Father-in-law, are you still satisfied?"
"satisfy."
Before the words could be spoken, Cai Yong suddenly stood up with a look of regret on his face, but it was a pity that the words had not left his mouth.
"This elm lump!"
Cai Wenji, who was eavesdropping outside the hall, touched her chest with her hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
My father's stubbornness is extraordinary, I didn't expect...
"Boy, although the marriage has been decided, you have to bring me ten jars of pure fragrant spring wine every month."
The great scholar Cai Yong said with a long sigh.
"No problem, why don't my father-in-law and I go to Fancheng together? There we can write books, establish Taoism, and study knowledge, and there are as many pure fragrant springs as we need."
Liu Qi opened his mouth to invite, knowing after all that his old Taishan would later cry bitterly for Dong Zhuo and was eventually killed by Wang Yun.
Cai Yong was not moved by Liu Qi's words, but looked lonely.
"I won't go. You and Ji'er should leave Luoyang as soon as possible."
Liu Qi also knew that this great Confucian also had his own beliefs, and it was absolutely impossible to be moved by just one or two sentences.
It seems that they can only think of a solution in the future, but it seems that these great scholars are not easy to let themselves and Cai Wenji leave Luoyang as soon as possible.
"Father, will you go to Fancheng with your daughter?"
At this time, Cai Wenji, who was eavesdropping outside, didn't know that her father's initial harshness was just an act, and she had already agreed to the marriage.
The beautiful woman burst into tears, unable to bear the separation of father and daughter. The white-haired scholar Cai Yong also had tears in his eyes.
"Chun Xiang Zhai."
Good name!
What a pen!
A wine shop quietly opened, and people on the roadside were talking about it.
Although the store was not eye-catching, no one dared to look down upon it because when it opened, Master Yuan Shao, the captain of the fourth generation and the third prince, said something after patrolling with his armor.
"From now on, Chun Xiang Zhai will be guarded by our captain. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will suffer this fate."
