Wait, short-lived ghost?

Yuan Shu seemed to guess who this young man named Wei Zhen was.

Isn’t this the short-lived husband of Cai Wenji, Wei Zhongdao?

I said, why do this guy thinks that the child Cai Wenji's eyes are so wrong? It turns out that he is now starting to think about his junior sister.

After learning that the young man was Wei Zhongdao, Yuan Shu's favorability towards these two people immediately dropped to negative values.

At this time, Cai Yong and Zhou Yi walked out of the inner hall one by one.

Cai Yong was very happy to see Wei Kai. He stepped forward and said to Wei Kai:

"Boru nephew, your father asked you to visit me again?"

Wei Kai was obviously very familiar with Cai Yong, and he saluted Cai Yong and said:

"My father always cares about Uncle Cai, but the journey is long and my father can't stand the car and horse, so he has to send Kai to pay a visit."

Cai Yong seemed to have thought of some pleasant past, and he recalled with his eyes:

"When I was in the same age as my father and I had a good bus service.

It was hard to meet him in a blink of an eye.”

Wei Kai smiled and said:

"My father once said that Cai is an open-minded person and his deep feelings are not around day or night."

Cai Yong was very happy to be praised by Wei Kai and said with a smile:

"It's your father, Duke Wei, who knows me. My nephew comes from afar. Come into the house and rest."

Wei Kai replied: "That nephew is more respectful than obedient.

Uncle Cai, this is the younger brother Wei Zhen, who loved Confucianism since childhood.

I heard that I was coming to visit Mr. Cai, so he insisted on following me.”

Wei Zhen stepped forward and said at the right time: "My nephew Wei Zhen, pay homage to Uncle Cai."

While saluting Cai Yong, his eyes also secretly glanced at Cai Wenji from time to time.

Cai Yong also saw that Wei Zhen was peeking at his daughter, but he was not annoyed, but instead said with a smile:

"It seems that Duke Wei is still thinking about the appointment between my two children and their in-laws back then.

Well, the children are still young now, so this matter can be discussed in a few years.”

Yuan Shu was very disappointed after hearing their conversation. According to what his master said, does the short-lived ghost and his junior sister have a engagement?

No, I can't let my junior sister marry this guy no matter what I say!

Several people were led into the inner hall by Cai Yong, and Yuan Shu secretly asked Cai Wenji:

"Junior sister, how do you feel about that boy named Wei Zhen?"

Cai Wenji said disdainfully without thinking:

"The boy's eyes were frivolous and didn't look like a good person. Yan'er didn't like him."

Yuan Shu was happy when she heard this. The junior sister didn't like it, it proved that there was still a chance.

Cai Yong seems to have a good relationship with Wei Kai’s father, and he also likes Wei Kai and Wei Zhen’s two brothers.

It was rare to host a banquet at the mansion to entertain them and invite them to stay for a few more days.

The two brothers were reluctant to ask for such an invitation, so they moved into Cai's Mansion, which made Yuan Shu very depressed.

As the end of the year approaches, Xi Zhicai also returned to Luoyang from Wansheng Villa to celebrate the New Year, leaving only a few generals to train soldiers in the village.

With Yue Fei taking overall charge of the situation, it is still not a big problem for Xi Zhi to have a few days off.

Suddenly, Yuan Shu was upset today and had something to discuss with Xi Zhicai, so he came to Xi Zhicai's mansion.

The mansion of Zhicai in the south of the city was Shen Shi.

It was time for dinner, and Xi Zhicai set up a small table in his room and had two drinks with Yuan Shu.

It was snowing outside, and the charcoal in the room was sizzling.

Yuan Shu and Xi Zhicai sat cross-legged, with only three or five plates of side dishes on the table.

There are not many dishes, but they are very delicate and delicious.

Yuan Shu drank a mouthful of laughter and said:

"Sir, when the spring of the next year comes, I will go to the place to retire. Where do you think I should go?"

戏志才毫不犹豫的说道:

“非南阳不可.”

“哦?为何是南阳?”袁术问道.

Xi Zhicai smiled and knocked on the candlestick beside him with a folding fan in his hand. In an instant, the wall cloth opposite fell down.

Yuan Shu looked at the wall, which carved maps of all the prefectures and counties in the Han Dynasty.

戏志才指图说道:

"Lord, Nanyang is the gateway of Jingxiang, north by Sili, east by Yanyu, south by Jingyang.

If troubled times come, the lord can be the foundation of Nanyang and connect with the Yuan family's base camp Runan, gaining great strategic initiative.

In addition, Nanyang is not far from Luoyang. If you become an official here, you will also receive the support of Duke Yuan.”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Yuan Shu deeply agreed and said:

“先生所虑深远,不愧是吾之子房.

When my father mentioned this matter again, I told him to go to Nanyang to retire."

说罢又印了一口酒,吐出一口浊气.

Xi Zhicai's ability to observe words and expressions is extremely comparable to that of people. Seeing that Yuan Shu was not very interested, he asked:

“主公,你今天的情绪不太对啊.

Are you worried about anything? Tell me about it, Zhong may be able to solve your doubts."

When Yuan Shu heard that it was right, he was the planner of Xi Zhicai, so why didn’t he ask him if he had something to do?

于是袁术有些郁闷的说道:

"Today, the son of the master's old friend came to visit his house. That boy was not a good thing, so he came in and saw his junior sister.

The key is that the master seems to have an agreement with his father, hey, it’s almost like a marriage.

I was upset when I thought that my junior sister might marry that kid in the future.”

After listening to it, Xi Zhicai laughed:

"Lord, tell the truth to Zhong, do you like that junior sister too?"

Cai Wenji is still too young now, and Yuan Shu doesn't know whether she is caring for her junior sister or affection for her.

But what he was sure of was that he wanted to protect Cai Wenji from the bottom of his heart and did not want her to be hurt.

而且也打算在蔡文姬成年后娶了她.

This should be considered like it, right?

Yuan Shu replied truthfully:

"To be honest, my junior sister is really very important in my heart.

How should I face this situation now? Please teach me how to do it.”

Xi Zhicai chuckled and said:

"Lord, this matter is easy to solve. You are a fan of the authorities."

Yuan Shu said in confusion: "How to solve it?"

Since ancient times, marriage has been the words of the matchmaker by the orders of parents.

If Cai Yong was determined to marry Cai Wenji to Wei Zhongdao, Yuan Shu had no choice.

The folding fan in Xi Zhicai's hand gently tapped the table and said to Yuan Shu:

"Lord, you will soon become a prince, with elite soldiers and brave generals under your command.

Is it still difficult to take a woman?"

Yuan Shu's eyes widened and said in surprise:

"Zhicai, what do you mean is to let me rob the marriage?"

Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, in this chaotic world, those who can live in it, and so are those who beauties.

If your master doesn't marry his junior sister to his old friend's son, of course, the lord can speak kindly and ask everyone for a beloved daughter.

But if everyone in Cai insists on marrying his daughter to someone else, what's the point of taking it away?"

After all, Cai Yong cared for Yuan Shu very much, and Yuan Shu said embarrassedly:

"Sir, isn't that good?"

Xi Zhicai suddenly put away his smile and said to Yuan Shu seriously:

"Lord, you are determined to be the son of heaven.

How can we compromise with a family?

As the saying goes, the king is the king and the teacher, and the king is the king and the teacher is better than the relatives, let alone the teacher?"
