Chapter 193 Cai Yong has a proud face: How much do you look at me, son-in-law? (2 in 1)
Cai Yan was in a very bad mood.
She already knew about her Liu Lang's return to Luoyang today.
And he also knew that today, his Liu Lang was engaged to another woman.
From now on, this girl named Dong Bai will become Liu Lang's wife...
Cai Yan already knew that someone else would become Mrs. Liu Lang with her. Her father had told her about it before.
Moreover, she was asked for her opinion at that time.
What can she say?
The other party is the granddaughter of Dong Xiangguo, the only one of her kind.
Faced with this situation, she could only smile and agree...
She was in a bad mood at this time because she felt that her husband Liu Lang should come to the house after finishing his work today.
This is not just for her, but also for her father.
After all, when he and Liu Lang were engaged before, Liu Lang didn't come back, but today he came back to make an engagement with Dong Bai...
As a result, since my father came back in the afternoon, until now, my Liu Lang has not come...
Cai Yan felt that he alone didn't have much to do with it, but mainly his father.
When it comes to marriage and other matters, my father, who has always been relatively rigid, has made many sacrifices and concessions this time in order to allow himself to marry Liu Lang.
As a result, Liu Lang still has this attitude...
She was really worried that her father would have too many opinions on Liu Lang because he couldn't care about face, and some conflicts would arise...
Cai Yong, who gave the order to close the door and lock it, also didn't sleep and was still sitting here.
It's just that his face turned ugly...
It was at this time that a nurse came to report hurriedly, saying that someone knocked on the door at night, calling himself Liu Cheng. He said that he had just come out of the Prime Minister's place and had not even returned home, so he came to see Cai Shizhong.
After hearing these words, a smile suddenly appeared on Cai Yong's face.
All the thoughts in my mind before suddenly disappeared completely at this moment.
However, in order to show off, he quickly suppressed the smile on his face, waited for a while, and then said: "Open the door and let him in!"
"W-isn't this not good... Now, it's night after all. Uncle Liu Huang is only engaged to..., but he has never..."
The steward of the nursing home actually paid more attention to rules and etiquette than Cai Yong.
"Go and open the door, brother Kede... Kede is not someone else, it doesn't matter, and he just wants to see me, so it doesn't matter..."
Cai Yong was so angry that he wanted to kick this lookless guy a few times. He just wanted to show off a little and relieve his depression. Why did this guy want to block his good son-in-law out?
?
After hearing what Cai Yong said, the man still looked worried.
However, in the end, he didn't dare to say any more and followed Cai Yong's instructions to open the door for Liu Cheng...
…
The night became deeper, Liu Cheng led people to leave Cai Yong's house, and Cai Yong saw him off in person...
After Liu Cheng left, Cai Yong showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Cai Yan, who had already learned the news, also smiled.
After letting go of all her worries, she no longer languishes in front of the desk.
When I came to the bed, I took off my clothes, quickly got into the quilt, and soon fell into a sweet dream...
Cai Yan fell asleep. In Luoyang City, there are many people who have not fallen asleep until now because of the big events that happened today.
For example, Lu Bu is one of them.
Of course Lu Bu was in a bad mood.
In fact, ever since he led his troops back from Mengjin a few days ago and learned about Liu Cheng's incredible record at Mengjin, he has not been in a good mood.
On the one hand, in terms of record, he was completely outclassed by this guy Liu Cheng.
On the other hand, there are Dong Zhuo's rewards.
Everyone on Liu Cheng's side, including Liu Cheng, received extremely generous rewards. Although he also received some rewards, they were much smaller than those on Liu Cheng's side!
Lu Bu felt extremely unbalanced and dissatisfied with this.
When Meng Jin was in a hurry, he led his soldiers and galloped all the way towards Meng Jin, then stabilized Meng Jin's crumbling defense line, and quickly defeated these white wave thieves. The person who returned to the north bank was Lu Fengxian.
Not Liu Kede!
If it weren't for him, Lu Fengxian, the Bai Bo bandits would have been able to fight all the way to Luoyang City!!
As a result, the reward was so different from that of Liu Cheng!
Over the past few days, as time went by, the dissatisfaction in Lu Bu's heart finally became less intense.
Today, Dong Zhuo gave Liu Kede such a great honor in front of him!!
Personally lead the civil and military officials to welcome you!!
What a big deal this is!!
Moreover, he announced in public that he would betroth his granddaughter to Liu Cheng!
In this way, Liu Cheng became Dong Zhuo's grandson-in-law!
Such a reputation is much better than that of Dong Zhuo's adopted son!
It was like he was kneeling in front of Dong Zhuo, while Liu Cheng was standing.
Moreover, the other party can get more things by standing than by kneeling!
Faced with such a thing, Lu Bu was already in a bad mood. It would be strange if he could feel better at this time!
He was jealous of Liu Cheng's rapid rise and jealous of Liu Cheng's good luck.
At the same time, I felt extremely dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's partiality!
It's obvious that I came here first, and it's obvious that my martial arts skills are comparable to those of Liu Cheng and Liu Kede. Why can't you marry your granddaughter to me?
Can't you also get me a wife?
How can you be so partial?!
Sure enough, when you have a new person, you forget about the old one!!
The more Lu Bu thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more difficult it became to calm down.
So much so that I had almost no sleep that night...
And Liu Cheng, who didn't take much rest at the end of the day until late at night, also didn't sleep immediately after returning home.
He met his brother Liu Shui who had been waiting for him to come back at home. After talking to Liu Shui for a while, he asked Liu Shui to help him prepare the items he needed to bring to visit Cai Yong's house tomorrow.
As for the long talk between the two brothers, that needs to be postponed until later.
After all, they are a family and can talk about anything.
After telling Liu Shui these things, Liu Cheng quickly fell asleep.
Ever since he received Dong Zhuo's order and set off from Sishui Pass and headed all the way to Mengjin Ferry, Liu Chengdu has not had a good rest until now.
Even though he was full of energy, he still felt a little exhausted physically and mentally.
But when he was outside, he didn't dare to relax at all.
Now that he is back home, his younger brother Liu Shui is personally guarding the house. He feels very at ease. He is finally able to completely relax and have a good sleep...
Liu Cheng's snoring sounded in the room. Liu Shui, who had arranged for people to prepare things elsewhere, walked quietly outside the room. After hearing his brother's snoring, he went back quietly.
After the arranger had prepared all the things Liu Cheng needed to go to Cai Shizhong's house tomorrow night, and all the servants at home had gone to bed, Liu Shui did not go to sleep.
He found a chair and walked quietly to a place about seven or eight feet away from Liu Cheng's room. He gently put the chair down, lit an oil lamp with a lampshade, and sat here quietly.
started reading the book.
His brother is fighting in the field, and now he is sleeping soundly after returning. He wants to personally keep vigil for his brother here and not let any movement disturb his brother's rest...
Before dawn, Cai Yan had already gotten up and started dressing up.
Although her father sent a maid over last night to tell her that when the emperor's uncle was coming today, he asked the maid to tell her that after the engagement, she and the emperor's uncle could not see each other, but she still got up early to freshen up.
.
Cai Yong, who also got up very early, saw the lights in his daughter's room from a distance, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head helplessly.
This daughter is grown up, and she is indeed not allowed to stay in the middle school...
…
In the morning, Liu Cheng, who was also dressed up, led a very large team, put on the ceremonial guard of Zhendong Zhonglang General, and brought carefully selected gifts, all the way to Cai Yong's house.
, the momentum is very strong.
Cai Yong's house, which had also been cleaned a long time ago, also opened the middle door early in the morning, preparing to welcome the future uncle...
…
After seeing the momentum created by Liu Cheng and his people, Cai Yong was extremely satisfied.
However, his face pretended to be calm and indifferent.
When he actually met Liu Cheng, Cai Yong felt a little embarrassed again.
After all, he and his son-in-law were considered brothers before, but now, the relationship between the two has undergone such earth-shaking changes. The good brothers in the past have become the son-in-law now...
But Liu Cheng didn't feel any embarrassment. After all, he had considered Cai Yong as his future father-in-law a long time ago.
Moreover, after yesterday's experience of calling Dong Zhuo his grandfather and calling Li Ru his uncle, what is happening now is simply a small scene for Liu Cheng.
After seeing Cai Yong, he immediately walked forward quickly, came to Cai Yong, bowed deeply to Cai Yong, and called him: "My son-in-law Liu Cheng, I have met my father-in-law."
The posture is standard, the tone is courteous and natural, and there is no hint of awkwardness or embarrassment.
It was as if the many times before that the two of them had treated each other as brothers never existed.
With Liu Cheng's indifferent start, Cai Yong gradually became calmer and no longer felt any embarrassment, so he and Liu Cheng called each other "Weng son-in-law". The meeting between the two was very pleasant.
Under the witness of many people, after completing some formal matters and having dinner with everyone, Cai Yong took Liu Cheng to his study at Liu Cheng's signal.
Cai Yong's study is called a real study. It is densely packed with many bamboo and wooden slips neatly placed.
Some are not bamboo slips, but are made of cloth.
Cai Yong himself was very proud and satisfied with his collection of books.
Seeing that Liu Cheng was fascinated by what he was looking at, he smiled and said, saying that he still had several rooms filled with books.
His collection of books is so rich that basically no one can compare with it.
When facing these books and talking about these things, Cai Yong's whole temperament became different. He was very confident and energetic.
Naturally, Liu Cheng would not be swayed by Cai Yong's collection of books.
Because in later generations, he went into many libraries.
There are really many books in there.
The scale is much larger than those in Cai Yong.
Moreover, the future father-in-law’s book collection is still very rich.
Most of the carriers of his collection of books are wooden slips and bamboo slips.
The volume of the book is not small, but there are not many words recorded on it.
In later generations, a thin paper book would require a lot of bamboo and wood slips to write the contents.
Under such circumstances, Cai Yong's collection of books is really not that large.
At least it is impossible to suppress a person like Liu Cheng who came from later generations.
The reason why Liu Cheng read it so seriously was not only because he wanted to cooperate with his father-in-law and satisfy his little vanity, but also because these collections of books were very rare compared to the era in which he lived in later generations.
Ancient ancient books.
In addition, another reason is that when Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Luoyang, Cai Yong's many book collections were not well protected, and many of them were burned clean in the Luoyang fire.
If it weren't for his fiancée Cai Yan's good memory and later restored a lot of it by relying on her own memory, even more would have been lost at once.
As a latecomer, when he learned about this incident, in addition to admiring his fiancée's amazing memory, Liu Cheng also felt very sad that many books were burned!
After all, no matter who they are, they will eventually die and disappear in the long river of history.
But things like books cannot, and can pass on many things.
It can be passed down from generation to generation, no matter how many years or events it has gone through, so that generations of people will not forget their identity or their inheritance, and can be connected from ancient times to the present, so that the country and the nation have roots.
Even if there is eternity, there will be eight desolations!
Now that we have come to this era and happened to encounter this incident, Liu Cheng will naturally not remain indifferent and allow these classics to be destroyed in the fire.
He wants to do what he can within his power.
The biggest purpose of his coming here today is actually for these books...
"Father-in-law, there is something I wonder if you know about?"
After doing this for a while, Liu Cheng turned to look at Cai Yong and said aloud.
"What's the matter?"
"Dong Xiangguo is planning to move the capital in a while..."
Liu Cheng said slowly.
Cai Yong, who was secretly feeling relieved because of his large collection of books, was able to calm his future son-in-law. When he heard the news from Liu Cheng, the feeling of relief in his heart suddenly disappeared, and everything was gone.
was replaced by deep shock...
"What?! What did you say?!"
He was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice and asked repeatedly, his voice full of shock and urgency.
A moment later, after Liu Cheng confirmed the authenticity of the news, Cai Yong's face became very ugly and his chest kept rising and falling.
It can be seen how intense his thoughts are.
After doing this for a while, Cai Yong said: "How could he do this? Isn't this nonsense?!
no!
I must go over to dissuade the Prime Minister and let him give up this idea!!!"
