My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 147 Cai Wenji

And Lu Yi was able to worship Cai Yong as his teacher.

It was also equivalent to relying on Cai Yong's influence to suddenly come into the eyes of the aristocrats.

He has gained a certain amount of influence and is no longer a rough guy on the border of Jiuyuan, despised by the gentry all over the world.

After all, if he continued to insult Lu Yi, it would be equivalent to insulting Cai Yong as well.

This price is not something that every individual or family can easily bear.

"It is already autumn and winter, and the ground is cold. Please get up quickly, my disciple, and don't catch a cold."

After the simple apprenticeship ceremony, Cai Yong hurriedly and kindly helped Lu Yi up.

"I am ashamed that I became your disciple in such a hurry that I have not even prepared the gift of tuition."

But Lu Yi looked ashamed.

"Haha, I, your teacher, have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and I don't care about these mundane things at all. Today I am fortunate to have such a good disciple. What else can I ask for?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Yong burst into laughter.

"Besides, Jiuyuan Pavilion is not far from here. We can make up for it after Master and Sixiao return to Jiuyuan."

"I'm afraid Sixiao doesn't welcome my father and I talking nonsense."

"Teacher, are you willing to return to Jiuyuan Pavilion with me to settle down?"

Lu Yi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that.

In this era, people pay attention to Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers, and students cannot disobey their teachers' orders.

Although Lu Yi intended to bring Cai Yong back to Luwu to live and protect him, if Cai Yong was determined to return to his hometown to live, he would not be able to stop him and could only persuade him with reason.

But whether to listen or not is entirely up to Cai Yong.

Now Cai Yong actually took the initiative to propose to return to Jiuyuan with me. This was really unexpected good news.

"Alas..." Cai Yong sighed when he heard this.

"Teacher, because of your temper, you have made many close friends over the years, but you have also offended many enemies. None of these people is less powerful than Wang Zhi. Even if I have no intention of pursuing a career in politics and only want to study in my hometown, I am afraid I will not be tolerated by these people."

"Besides, I have always been a shrewd person and my family has no property. Originally, I planned to take my daughter back to my hometown and then cross the Yangtze River to Kuaiji County to seek refuge with my old friends. However, Kuaiji County is a long and arduous journey. Now that I have a good disciple, I naturally don't have to go that far and work so hard."

"After all, Jiuyuan is a frontier area, so those people won't be concerned about it."

"So that's how it is. Sir, don't worry. As long as I am here, I will never let you and your daughter suffer any injustice."

"Once a teacher, always a father. From now on, sir, you can treat Jiuyuan Luwu as your own home."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi suddenly realized what was going on and immediately comforted Cai Yong.

"Then I won't be polite." Cai Yong nodded, with a very natural look on his face.

"I just don't know why I want to see Wang Zhi this time?"

Then, Cai Yong immediately entered into the role of a teacher and began to care about his apprentice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately told the whole story.

He just hid his foresight.

"My disciple wants to ask for the status of filial and incorrupt official?" Cai Yong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but did not comment.

"Oh? Teacher, do you have any other way to teach me?" Upon seeing this, Lu Yi immediately sat up straight and said.

"Xiaolian is indeed a good way to enter the official career, but it is not the only way." "The emperor's favor and the three dukes and nine ministers can all be recruited and appointed directly to serve as officials."

"Nowadays, the selection of filial and honest officials is monopolized by the aristocratic families, and those who are recommended must be relatives and friends, which has been despised by the people of the world."

"Moreover, the court politics is dark nowadays, and many ambitious people are unwilling to serve as officials."

"It is not a wise move for Sixiao to join the government at this time!"

Cai Yong talked eloquently.

"Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Although I am a rough man, I have a heart to serve my country. How can I hesitate to do so in fear of difficulties?"

Cai Yong admired Lu Yi's answer even more because of his uprightness.

"Okay! If Sixiao has such a loyal heart, the teacher is willing to give you some advice and will not let Sixiao down!"

"As for Wang Zhi's eunuch party, their reputation is hated by the gentry all over the world. Sixiao should avoid them as soon as possible to avoid being tainted by their bad reputation and being despised by the gentry all over the world!"

"The students know!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately changed his plan in his mind.

"It's a pity that you gave him more than 5 million yuan today. It's like throwing meat buns at a dog!" Cai Yong said with some regret.

"Haha, it's just some superficial wealth. If I didn't give up this money today, how could I have the chance to become your disciple?"

"Compared to you, sir, let alone five million, even fifty million would not even bother me!"

Cai Yong was very happy after hearing Lu Yi's flattery.

"My daughter greets my father and all the guests."

"It's getting late at night. Please take care of yourselves, father, and all the guests, and go to bed early."

Just when he was about to say something, a teenage girl suddenly came into the hall.

She looked about eleven or twelve years old. Not only was she well-dressed and polite, but she was also very pretty, a natural little beauty.

"What is this?" Lu Yi's heart moved, but he didn't show any puzzled expression when he asked.

"Oh, let Sixiao know. This is my daughter, your junior sister Cai Yan. When I was convicted some time ago, I was worried that I would not be able to take care of her, so I gave her a courtesy name. Sixiao can call her Wenji."

After Cai Yong introduced Lu Yi a few words, he waved to his beloved daughter with a loving face.

"Come quickly, Wen Ji. This is my father's new disciple, Lu Yi and Lu Sixiao. From now on, you must treat him with respect as a senior brother!"

"Yan greets senior brother Sixiao." Upon seeing this, Cai Yan immediately came to Cai Yong obediently and bowed deeply to the handsome yet unfamiliar senior brother in front of her.

"It turns out to be Junior Sister Wen Ji in person." Lu Yi immediately bowed and smiled to the little girl. The friendly smile made little Wen Ji, who had never been in such close contact with a strange man, feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

When Lu Yi looked at this well-educated and well-mannered junior sister, he was also a little confused for a moment.

Cai Wenji married Wei Zhongdao, the son of Wei family, in her early years, but Wei Zhongdao died early, so Cai Wenji became a widow early.

Later, the Southern Xiongnu, who were dependent on the Han Dynasty, saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, so the then Nanzuowen King rebelled and attacked, abducted Cai Wenji and forcibly married her.

Later, after Zuo Xian Wang died, Cai Wenji married Zuo Xian Wang's son in accordance with the customs of the Xiongnu.

Later, Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao, felt pity for Cai Wenji after hearing about her experience. Cai Yong had a collection of 4,000 volumes of books. Cao Cao heard that Cai Wenji could recite 400 of them, so he spent a large sum of money to redeem her and her son from the Southern Xiongnu and brought them back to the Han area. She married him to Dong Si. After wandering among foreign tribes for more than ten years, she finally settled down and ended her miserable life as a captive.

History records that Wen Ji returned to Han.

Lu Yi was familiar with her experiences in history, so he naturally felt a bit of pity for her.

However, in this life, Wen Ji met Lu Yi, and the tragedy in history should not happen again.
