Chapter 56

"General... General..."

Cai Yan looked at Han Yu, who was staring at her intently, and could not help but blush; her heart fluttered a little.

Han Yu came back to his senses, knowing that he had just been staring at her intently, his face turned red, and he asked:

"I heard that Master Cai, General of the Left Household of the current dynasty has a well-educated and talented daughter, who is skilled with poetry, proficient in literature, music, and calligraphy, and naturally, her appearance is also beautiful. She is a talented girl who is famous in Luoyang."

In fact, of course, Han Yu knew that Cai Yan was Cai Yong's daughter, but that didn't prevent him from pretending not to know her.

Hearing Han Yu praise her so much, Cai Yan felt a little embarrassed, she immediately nodded and said:

"This girl is indeed the daughter of Cai Yong, but I can't imagine that a general like sir knows this girl. I feel embarrassed"

Han Yu was gentle and graceful at this time, he said softly: "This one is Han Yu (Ziyu), son of Governor Han Fu of Jizhou. I have long admired the daughter of Master Cai Yong, but I have never met her before and I do not even know her name. I did not think I would meet Miss Wenji here. It's like a fate."

Cai Yan was even more shocked when she heard those words, there was an excitement on her face, and she couldn't help but say:

"Could it be that you are Master Han Yu who defeated Lü Bu at Hulao Pass?"

Currently, everyone in Luoyang was telling the story of Han Yu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei who fought Lü Bu at Hulao Pass and succeeded in defeating Lü Bu.

In particular, many people conveyed how young Han Yu was, along with his subordinates, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

Even Cai Yan herself wanted to see such a hero.

If she didn't have a marriage contract, with Cai Yan's talent and personality, she felt that only a young hero like Han Yu would be worthy of being her husband.

Unexpectedly, she met Han Yu today, and he is as good-looking and young as the rumors say.

Now that Han Yu had become her savior, Cai Yan was very excited.

"Yes. I didn't expect Miss Wenji to have heard of me!"

Han Yu did not expect his fame to spread so fast, even Cai Wenji knew about him.

In this way, it would be easier for him.

Cai Yan blushed slightly, and said, "Young Master defeated Lü Bu at Hulao Pass, which forced Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an. This matter has spread throughout the world, and Yan has also heard of it. Thank you very much for saving my life today."

Han Yu couldn't help but ask: "Miss Wenji, now that Dong Zhuo has been defeated and retreated to Chang'an, he had let his soldiers commit rape and looting along the way, which makes more and more chaos, and the barbarians also took this opportunity to burn, kill, and plunder. I don't know why you are here?"

When Cai Yan heard those words, she lowered her head and sighed: "I can't hide it from Young Master Han; today is the day that Yan goes to get married. The Wei family is currently feeling anxious and worried that once we arrive in Chang'an, we will not have the chance to get out of Chang'an. This ended up letting Yan go to the Wei family ahead of schedule to get married."

Han Yu frowned after hearing this.

Although Cai Yong was a great scholar in this generation, he did not care about his daughter's life affairs.

As for Cai Wenji, Han Yu sighed subconsciously when he thought about her life.

A talented girl in the era of the Three Kingdoms, she has been good at writing, poetry dan rhythm since she was a child.

It is a pity that fate said otherwise. God gave her a very sad end, which wasted her talent

She, a woman of peerless beauty marries a short-lived man Wei Zhongdao, whom she ends up being kidnapped by the barbarians, leaving only with loneliness.

This is heartbreaking.

Having met Cai Yan today, Han Yu naturally would not allow Cai Yan to marry that short-lived man Wei Zhongdao.

Han Yu said: "Miss Wenji is a very talented girl; Master Cai Yong didn't say anything even when the situation turned out like this. As for the Wei family, it was even worse. Miss Wenji went all the way to get married, and they did not provide sufficient care here. If it wasn't for meeting with me today, how could Miss Wenji fight against those Xiongnu barbarians?"

After listening to Han Yu's words, Cai Wenji hesitated a little.

Seeing this, Han Yu could not help but ask: "I heard that the Wei family in Hedong has two sons, the Wei family's eldest son is a fairly talented young man. I don't know which one Miss Wenji will marry?"

Cai Wenji felt even more pain in her heart when she heard those words, and said, "The eldest is already married, and Yan is going to marry Wei Zhongdao, the second son of the Wei family."

"I didn't expect that Wei Zhongdao, this dying man, would have the luck to marry such a talented woman like you."

Han Yu could see that Cai Yan was displeased with the marriage between aristocratic families that her parents had promised since childhood, but there was nothing she could do.

In the late Han Dynasty, it was common for aristocratic families to marry each other off.

This was also a means for the aristocratic clans to stabilize their position in the palace and protect their clan's interests.

Even a great scholar like Cai Yong could not avoid it.

The Wei family in Hedong rose thanks to Wei Qing and Wei Zifu, and this family-owned a big business. Even if Cai Yong knew that Wei Zhongdao would die soon, he would still not regret this marriage.

Cai Wenji shook her head and said, "Young Master Han, Yan is only an amateur rhythm master. As per the rumors I only occasionally practice calligraphy with my father, and I don't deserve to be called a talented girl."

"Miss Wenji doesn't need to be humble, I think the person who is worthy of you should be a great man, that matches Miss Wenji's talent. This seriously ill Young Master Wei is simply not worthy of you, even if you marry him, you will soon become a widow. Why are you still planning to do it?"

Cai Yan said bitterly: "Marriage matters are according to the matchmaker's words, namely my parents. Yan cannot decide this matter, for I have been promised to Wei Zhongdao, even if he is a dying man, his life or death will be my matter. Young Master Han, please don't say anymore."

Han Yu knew that Cai Wenji was just stubborn, but she probably still felt unwilling in her heart.

Since ancient times, which woman would want to marry a dying man?

After all, she was just a teenager, about to be a widow, what she was going to do with the rest of her life?

Especially for Cai Wenji, such a talented woman, how could he let this go?

Han Yu said firmly, "No, I have admired Master Cai for a long time, and I admire Miss Wenji's talent even more. I will not agree if Miss Wenji marries Wei Zhongdao, she will feel lonely for the rest of her life. "

Cai Wenji frowned slightly, shook her head, and said, "Young Master is Yan's savior, and Yan cannot repay you, but this matter is the decision of my parents, and Young Master cannot decide this."

"This is a trivial matter."

Han Yu smiled and said: "I will immediately have people spread rumors, saying that Miss Wenji met a bandit on the way to get married, and she was kidnapped as a captive, because of this she can't marry Wei Zhongdao. The Wei family will be reluctant to do anything about this, I am afraid that they will not be able to do anything. And with Master Cai, he naturally would not say much.

After waiting for half a year to a year, Wei Zhongdao would probably have died, and Miss Wenji's marriage contract is naturally over. "

When Cai Yan heard those words, she quickly shook her head and said, "Young Master, I know that you are doing this for my own good, but this absolutely will not happen.

Young Master has already become famous by now, how could Yan let Young Master's reputation be damaged for the sake of my happiness?

What's more, after doing this, I will feel bad and don't know what will I say to my father in the future. "

Han Yu smiled and said, "As long as Miss Wenji is happy, what's the point of my reputation? As for Master Cai, I will write him a letter, so don't worry about this Miss Wenji."

"But still…"

Cai Yan was still hesitating.

Han Yu's words truly touched her heart!

Who doesn't want to live happily ever after?

But is this really worth it?

"There is nothing to worry about, this matter has been decided!"

Han Yu got on his horse again and said to Dian Wei behind him, "Come here, this is Master Cai Yong's daughter. You must protect her and don't let anything happen to her. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."

Dian Wei could see that Han Yu was unusual towards Cai Wenji, and immediately replied, "Young master, rest assured!"

In this way, Han Yu forcibly brought Cai Wenji into his army despite her opposition.

Cai Wenji was still very young, she had never seen Wei Zhongdao, and she naturally had no feelings for him at all.

During the next year and a half, Wei Zhongdao would have already died, so by then, Han Yu was sure Cai Wenji would have liked him.
