Elf version of the Three Kingdoms

Cai Yan may have a good impression of Xun.

But the engagement with the Wei family was finalized very early. As for Wei Zhongdao...

In this era, children from aristocratic families who are educated by aristocratic families are always not too bad. After all, they are a group of people standing at the top of the pyramid, coupled with the strict family education of aristocratic families.

Even if a woman completely "obeys her husband when she gets married," there won't be too many shitty things that happen.

After that, Cai Yong was no longer in a hurry to find a husband for Cai Yan. He also felt deep guilt for his daughter and resentment towards the Wei family in Hedong.

Cai Yong had no other children except Cai Yan. He cherished Cai Yan very much, and the Hedong Wei family was able to enter into a marriage contract with Cai Yong because of the deep friendship between the two families in the past.

But now, the friendship is long gone.

In the garden, Cai Yong and his Lei Qiu Lieque each held a cup of tea, looking at the elves playing in the distance, and at Xun You and Cai Yan who were talking in the room.

Looking at their children, there was a look of relief on their faces.

The current Pikachu Scorched Tail is actually the child of Raichu Lieque, and Lieque is his father.

Of course, the child is a bit rebellious and dislikes his father for being fat, which is another story.

"Liequ, do you think my persistence is really right?" Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan from a distance and sighed.

"Kamika?"

Lieque looked at Cai Yong noncommittally, at the man who had been with him for decades.

"I'm old, I'm old..." Cai Yong muttered to himself with reminiscence in his eyes.

After about an hour, the conversation between Xun You and Cai Yan ended.

There was no substantive content in this conversation. Many of the things Xun He explained were not important. There really was not much time to teach Cai Yan in the near future.

Even in the future, what Xun Or is most likely to do is to take Cai Yan with him when handling government affairs or even planning for the march.

It is both teaching and... free coolie.

But one thing is that Xun Or did teach Cai Yan the method of sensing the "energy" of various systems without reservation, and this method was improved by Xun Or. There is also a lot of mathematical knowledge about quantification on it, which is superior to The mainstream way of perception in this world is superior.

More efficient and scientific cultivation, in short, can be summed up as - scientific cultivation of immortality...

"Zhaoji, Cai Zhonglang, let's say goodbye today. We may leave Luoyang in two days. I hope my uncle and Zhaoji will prepare early."

Afterwards, Xun You said goodbye to Cai Yong and Cai Yan in the atrium and walked to Situ's mansion where his father was.

After sending Xun He away, Cai Yong and Cai Yan had the opportunity to sit down and talk after a long absence.

"I'll sort out the books in the house these two days, and take them with me when we leave Luoyang." Cai Yong said in a kind tone.

At this time, Cai Yong's Leiqiu Lieque and Cai Yan's Pikachu Jiaowei were not in the room, leaving time and space for the father and daughter.

"Aweng... why don't you go together..." Cai Yan lowered his head, not daring to look at Cai Yong. At this time, his eyes were already full of tears.

She is not the woman who has been living in the desert of the North for more than ten years because of the war...

【The white grass and beacons grow long, and I have spent half my life mourning and resisting them with poetry. 】

There is no need for the growth of "breaking strings with tears in the eyes", and there is no "the most noble wandering" full of tragedy and helplessness in the history books.

(Note: The quotes here are the lyrics of Station B's 2020 New Year's Eve single "Eternal Fragrance". I prefer Sanwu Marblue's version.)

"Zhao Ji, you have grown up..." Cai Yong said slowly.

"Do you still remember the first time you met your master?"

Cai Yan nodded, naturally he would not forget the scene that was deeply remembered. "Sir is truly a special person."

"Yes, at that time I had a vague feeling that Ciming's son would definitely have achievements far beyond his own. He could refute Ciming and his brothers speechlessly."

Cai Yong laughed dumbly, "At that time, I was thinking that if I hadn't made a so-called engagement with the Wei family too early, this son would definitely be the best candidate to be my son-in-law."

"Aweng..." Cai Yan raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.

"After so many things happened, I actually wanted to go to Brother Ciming to talk about my marriage to you. But today Jie Ruo came to visit in person, but it turned out that he didn't come to propose marriage."

Cai Yong continued, "But maybe this is the best. Jie Ruo is different from everyone else, he sees further, and accepting you as his disciple may be a better path for you."

"You can reach the position of prime minister at a young age, and you won it from Dong Zhuo with wisdom and cunning. Zhao Ji, if you study with Jie Ruo, your talents will not be buried."

"I know that you are actually a smarter child than most men, but there is nothing my father can do to help you show your intelligence and knowledge..."

Two lines of hot tears oozed from the corners of Cai Yong's eyes, but there was still a smile on his face.

"For the Han Dynasty, I can still have a clear conscience as a father, but for Yan'er... I feel guilty for being a father..."

"It's not like this! Ah Weng... it's not like this..." Cai Yan cried and said, "Yan'er won't leave, Yan'er will stay with Ah Weng."

Cai Yong touched Cai Yan's head lovingly, "You have to leave eventually, Yan'er... You must have ideals in your life."

"But ideals always make people abandon a lot of things. In the end, they lose everything, and even their ideals cannot be realized. As a father, I owe you too much in my life..."

"Being a father is no longer enough. In fact, the ideal is right in front of us. This Luoyang is destined to be the burial ground of my father."

"Drown in the stagnant water of ideals, drowned in the rotten liquid of the man, the father's ideal is already such a thing that no medicine can cure..."

At this time, Cai Yan had already burst into tears and threw herself into Cai Yong's arms. She had already had an idea to persuade Cai Yong to go with him, but Cai Yong knew his daughter's thoughts from the beginning.

He has an ideal, and the ideal is right in front of him, so close, so within reach, even if he knows it is an abyss... but after all, it is something he has been pursuing for his whole life.

Perhaps, this is the character of the person who writes history, the soul of a scholar.

"Yan'er...Gillian...you will have a wonderful life in the future. Your father and I are just a mere lieutenant."

Cai Yong said with a smile.

"But I believe that my daughter will definitely be able to surpass me, surpass me, the useless lieutenant, the imperial censor, the Situ, even the Han Dynasty Prime Minister... I also believe that you can achieve it."

The hot tears in the corners of Cai Yong's eyes slid down his cheeks and onto Cai Yan's face, mixing with Cai Yan's tears, just like their inseparable blood.

But they all have smiles on their faces, bright smiles...
