Wang Yi and Zang Min frequently toasted Cai Yong, and their words were all about poetry and essays.

As a junior, Zhang Xun had to agree to social engagements.

Zhang Liao was respectful and polite, spoke and acted very gracefully, and even restrained. After all, he was asked to be close to Cai's mansion and could not allow him to let go of his hands and feet and make a fuss.

In order to leave the Cai family with an image of being polite and understanding, he impersonated the name of the Goddess of Luo River as a stepping stone, and gained high appreciation from Cai Yong. As for what Cai Yan reacted after seeing the Goddess of Luo River, he did not dare to make random guesses, and could only deal with it with a humble attitude, for fear that he would look bad in the eyes of others.

"I am amazed by the Goddess of Luo River by my nephew." Cai Yong faced Zhang Liao and raised his glass to invite him, "I will give you a cup of honor, I will give you a cup."

"I dare not take care of Uncle Cai to toast me, a junior. Isn't this a trash of me?"

Zhang Liao immediately declined and said impatiently: "It should be my junior who wishes you a cup. I hope Uncle Cai will refuse."

He was not ashamed of stealing Cao's poems and essays, and he decided to be the original author of the Goddess of Luo River.

Cai Yong applauded repeatedly, and after chanting the wine in the cup, he said with relief: "The nephew is not only a famous man of bravery, but also has a great literary talent. He should be a good talent who is both civil and military."

"If you can get praise from Uncle Cai, you will be lucky for your three lives." Zhang Liao became more and more humble.

"I've been familiar with you for a long time, but I don't know that you have such a talent." Wang Yi interrupted and said, "Mr. Zhang should punish himself for three cups, which is considered a punishment for Zangzi. How about it?"

Zhang Liao looked around and found that the rest of them looked gloating, so he had to drink three cups.

In fact, in his heart, he was extremely disgusted with Wang Yi's successive performance. Wang Yi was familiar with his position in his mind and successfully created a relationship that he really had with Wang Yi in the eyes of others.

He had really had several conversations with Wang Yi and knew what was going on. Apart from treating him as a loyal minister in the Han Dynasty, Wang Yi really had no private relationship with him.

This time, Zang Min came to propose marriage with him, but he was just a follower, not a dominant person. His purpose was to further win over Zhang Liao.

No matter what Wang Yi thought, it would be very helpful to Zhang Liao now, so he was still grateful to Wang Yi.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Cai Yong arranged for Zhang Liao and others to stay in the mansion.

In the study, Cai Yan served his father after drinking a bowl of quenching soup. The smile on his face bloomed like a flower, and he whispered softly: "My father hasn't been so happy for a long time. In the past, he used to drown his sorrows and only wanted to get himself drunk, but today he was really full of joy."

"After the father was in trouble, my reputation became worse day by day. If I had not been protected by the virtuous people by virtue of my past reputation, I would have died in rivers, lakes and seas."

Cai Yong looked calm and said, "Twelve years of wandering have made me feel exhausted. I am used to seeing the coldness of the world and the warmth of human feelings. After returning home, my relatives and friends only sigh at my experience, and few people come to visit me."

Cai Yan said deeply: "So, now the three prefects are visiting each other, so my father feels that he still has a place among the scholars and will not be completely cold-eyed."

"Oh, my suffering has also affected the family. You know this more clearly than me. You can see clearly the desertedness of the mansion for your father."

Cai Yong's expression was calm and he said with kindness: "I am arbitrary and arrogant to marry the Wei family. I didn't expect it to bring you a lot of bad reputation. This is what I am sorry for you for my father."

"As a child, how can you blame your parents?" Cai Yan's sad face gradually dissipated. She said helplessly: "This is the fate of her daughter, and she cannot blame others."

"Don't complain about yourself. This is not like my daughter. You don't have to take the nonsense in the eyes of outsiders to heart, otherwise you will be ashamed of your father."

Cai Yan said loudly: "What makes me happiest is that Zhang Liao came to propose marriage with sincerity."

"Has my father agreed?" Cai Yan frowned slightly.

"Is there any reason to refuse for my father?"

Cai Yong said without any discussion: "I have seen through the world and have a lot of thoughts about people's hearts. Judging from my observation, Zhang Liao is very extraordinary, and his future achievements will definitely attract attention. This time, it is not that I want to decide your marriage as I did last time. I am afraid that you will be disturbed by rumors from the outside world and delay your marriage. I have to force you. If you blame me, just blame me for being a father."

Cai Yan raised her voice, her nose sore and shouted in a complicated manner: "Father!!!"

"I only have a daughter like you, so how can I not love you?"

Cai Yong looked at his daughter with sadness and advised: "Wen Ji, give yourself a chance, don't lament your past misfortunes, and give your father a chance to correct it."

"Father!!!" Cai Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Even though there were too many grievances and reluctances, Cai Yan at this moment had no grudge against her father in her heart. Her father's successive apologies made her feel knotted.

She was sensible and didn't complain at all, but the knot in her heart always existed. Whenever she suffered from cold eyes from others and her bad reputation came into her ears, she felt extremely painful and torment in her heart, and sometimes she would unconsciously blame her father.

The verbal slander she suffered at home for two years has disappeared with her father's apology.

"I know what Wei Zhongdao looks like. If I hadn't been able to hide my face, I wouldn't have agreed to the Wei family's proposal to marry you to a sick child. Fortunately, the Wei family still took some face into consideration. After Wei Zhongdao died of illness, the Wei family signed and let you go home."

Cai Yong talked about the stupid thing he did and said with guilt: "It's just Wei Zhongdao's death that made you bear the infamy of being a husband. This is something that my father didn't expect, and it also caused you to suffer endless rumors at home."

Two lines of tears flowed from Cai Yan's eyes. Her father had never mentioned this to her. Now, she was very excited when she was honest with her by drinking.

"If I had no bad reputation of Kufu, I would have felt better. Now that I am famous, my heart is also broken. Whenever I think of my daughter's experience, how can I not be sad?"

Cai Yong had to blame himself, it was his fault and he had to admit it.

If Wei Zhongdao had not died of illness, there would have been no such a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhongdao's death made Cai Yan bear all the infamous in the world. He blamed himself, and even if he regretted it, it was too late.

"It's my daughter who makes me blame myself."
