Chapter 158 Engagement
With Guan Gang being sentenced to death, the affairs of Wu Jun's aristocratic family have officially come to an end.As for the whole plan to clean up the Wujun family, Zhao Lei went very smoothly.

On Zhao Lei's way back to the Governor's Mansion, the carriage was suddenly stopped by Cai Yong's housekeeper.

"Isn't this the butler of the teacher's house?" Zhao Lei asked with his head stuck out of the car window.

"Lord Inspector, my master said that Lord Inspector hasn't been to his place for a long time, and would like to invite Lord Inspector back home for a gathering." The butler said.This tone is a bit like Lao Tzu asking his son to go home for dinner.

Zhao Lei patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes. There are a lot of things going on in Wu County recently, so I don't have time to visit the teacher."

After hearing this, the butler bowed to Zhao Lei and said, "When will your lord come to visit? I'll go back and inform the master right away."

Zhao Lei thought for a while and said, "I'll go later, I'll come back and change my clothes."

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, the butler immediately said: "Okay, then this subordinate will go back and report to the master."

After the butler left, Zhao Lei retracted his head. As soon as he got back into the carriage, he saw Zhang Han looking at Zhao Lei lewdly, making Zhao Lei very uncomfortable.

"Look at Mao!" Zhao Lei pushed Zhang Han, and he saw that Zhang Han kept smiling at him, so he continued: "Man, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing, this old man Cai Yong is too impatient." Zhang Han said.

"What? Why is Cai Yong so impatient?" Zhao Lei asked in confusion.

"Did you forget the agreement with him? When we were in Henan County, it was about that little beauty Cai Yan." Zhang Han said.

It was only at this time that Zhao Lei suddenly realized that when he was in Henan County, he had promised to wait until Yangzhou to discuss the matter of marriage with Cai Yong. Now that the family in Wu County has been eliminated, the situation is stable, and there is no danger around Zhao Lei, so At this time, Cai Yong's people also came to the door.

Seeing Zhao Lei's surprised expression, Zhang Han said with a smile: "I said, you're going to bring the beauty home, why is that such an expression?"

"I've only seen that Cai Yan once, and I've long forgotten what it looks like. I don't know if I like it or not. If I say I am engaged, I will be engaged. How can this be?" Zhao Lei said.

"You idiot, even if it's not for Cai Yan, you have to be a relative, against..." Before Zhang Han finished speaking, Zhao Lei interrupted him and said, "With the halo of Cai Yong's son-in-law, I You can recruit a lot of talents, right? I’ve said it N times, is it bothering you to keep saying this?” Zhao Lei gave Zhang Han a blank look after finishing speaking.

"Then I won't say this, I'll just say Cai Yan." Zhang Han said with a smile.

"Cai Yan, what can I say?" Zhao Lei muttered.

Zhang Han fainted instantly, and said with a smile: "I said, Xiaolei, are you not interested in women? Do you have some special hobbies?"

After hearing this, Zhao Lei grabbed Zhang Han, slammed the K, and cursed: "Where are you going, you bastard."

Looking at Zhao Lei's disdainful eyes, Zhang Han said with a smile: "Cai Yan is a great beauty in history, and didn't you say that others are beautiful last time?"

Zhao Lei asked strangely: "Is there? Why don't I remember?"

Zhang Han glanced at Zhao Lei and said, "Emotional idiot, just pretend to have amnesia!"

Zhao Lei looked at Zhang Han with an inexplicable face, and did not speak along the way.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Lei came to the Cai Mansion. The decoration of the Cai Mansion was very simple, which was tailor-made by Zhao Lei according to Cai Yong's request.

In the hall of Cai Mansion.

"Students pay homage to the teacher." Zhao Lei bowed respectfully to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong hurriedly got up and said, "Zihan can't, although you and I are master and apprentice, but you are the governor after all, so you can't do this great gift."

"Here, there are only teachers and students, and there is no such thing as an assassin." Zhao Lei laughed.

Cai Yong nodded after listening to Zhao Lei's words, showing great satisfaction with Zhao Lei's humility.

"Teacher, I wonder how Boyan has learned from you?" Zhao Lei asked Cai Yong.

"Lu Xun! Hehe, this kid is so smart, he can learn what I teach him in no time." Just as Cai Yong was speaking, Lu Xun ran out.

He hugged Zhao Lei's thigh and yelled, "Brother Zihan, when will Brother Zilong take me to the military camp again? It will be fun there."

"Bo Yan likes to go to the military camp?" Zhao Lei asked.

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Well, over there, brother Zilong will take me to ride horses, shoot arrows, and show me martial arts. It's fun." But halfway through the conversation, Lu Xun put on an aggrieved face and said : "I don't know if I can still go?"

"Hehe, Boyan, as long as you study hard with Teacher Cai, I will promise you to go to the military camp once a month in the future, okay?"

Lu Xun regained his energy immediately after hearing this, and said, "Okay, I like the military camp the most."

Zhao Lei shook his head and said, "Bo Yan, you have to remember that if you only know how to march and fight, you can only become an ordinary general at best. If you want to become a general, you must have both wisdom and courage. Not only must you be good at horseback riding and archery , reading is also good. Because many profound art of war are hidden in books, so reading good books is the prerequisite for doing everything."

Lu Xun nodded, and then said to Cai Yong: "Teacher, take Xun'er to study!"

Tong Yan Wuji, everyone laughed, Cai Yong said: "Today, the teacher has something to discuss with your brother Zihan, Bo Yan has a day off, go play by yourself!"

"How about this, Wang Yue, you take Lu Xun to the barracks to find Zilong, and ask Zilong to take care of him for a day." Zhao Lei said.

When Lu Xun heard that he was going to the barracks, he was so excited, he dragged Wang Yue to the door.

After seeing Lu Xun go out, Zhao Lei asked: "The teacher said earlier that he wanted to discuss something with me, what exactly is it?"

"Zihan should know what's going on in his heart!" Cai Yong laughed.

Zhao Lei thumped in his heart, and said slowly: "Teacher, could it be that you are talking about engagement?"

Cai Yong nodded with a smile, and said, "That's right, now Wu County has calmed down, and we can discuss this matter."

"This? This..." Zhao Lei hesitated.

In fact, Cai Yan has been listening to the situation in the hall in the back hall. When she heard her father say that she was engaged, she was extremely happy, because she has fallen in love with Zhao Lei since the first time she saw him.But Zhao Lei's faltering made Cai Yan's heart hang again.

Seeing Zhao Lei hesitating, Cai Yong's expression changed, and he said, "What's the matter, Zihan? Don't you think my daughter is not good enough for you?"

Zhao Lei would not give in if he was threatened or lured by others.But who told Cai Yong to be his teacher, Zhao Lei could only hold back his anger and said helplessly: "But sister Cai Yan and I only met once, and we got engaged. This, isn't this a little hasty?"

"Haha, Zihan was originally worried about this issue. It doesn't matter. We are just engaged, not for you to marry immediately. Can you cultivate a relationship with Yan'er first!" Cai Yong laughed.

Zhao Lei was surprised when he heard it: So Cai Yong is so open-minded?Not to mention helping my daughter find a partner, but I don't care about 21 and want me to cultivate a relationship?Sure enough, a great Confucianism is a great Confucianism, and his thoughts are really too avant-garde in this era.

Zhao Lei then nodded, and agreed to the marriage in such a muddleheaded manner.

Zhang Han said with a smile at this time: "Master Cai, in a few days, I will help the lord arrange a good and auspicious day, and formally come to the mansion to propose marriage."

Cai Yong nodded and said: "Zizhou is worthy of being Zihan's military adviser, and he has considered everything for him. If I have a second daughter, I will definitely marry him to you."

Zhang Han almost didn't laugh, this Cai Yong was addicted to recruiting a son-in-law.

"Zizhou, you can do whatever you want. Zihan, follow me to the backyard, and I'll take you to cultivate your relationship." After Cai Yong finished speaking, he pulled Zhao Lei to Cai Yan's residence.

Seeing his father bringing Zhao Lei, Cai Yan hurried back at a trot.

Cai Yan's courtyard is elegant and quiet, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

In the courtyard, there is silence and silence, only the sound of the piano flowing slowly like a mountain spring is floating.

Cai Yong took Zhao Lei to the backyard, where Cai Yan was already waiting.

"See Lord Inspector." Although Cai Yan was very excited when he saw Zhao Lei approaching, he did not forget the basic etiquette.

This time Zhao Lei was able to see Cai Yan's face clearly. After not seeing him for several months, Cai Yan's figure seemed to be a bit plump. Looking straight, I have no idea where I am.

He admits that Cai Yan is his favorite type.

No matter in terms of facial features or figure, it is in line with Zhao Lei's appetite.At the age of twelve or thirteen, he has already grown up like this, and when he grows up, it will be fine.

Cai Yong saw Zhao Lei's gaze fixed on his daughter, smiled slightly, and thought in his heart: Sure enough, a hero is saddened by beauty!
Zhao Lei calmed down and said slowly, "Sister Cai Yan doesn't need to be polite, just call me Zihan."

Cai Yong smiled and said, "I won't bother you two to have a drink and talk, I'll go first." After speaking, he ignored Zhao Lei's reply and strode away.

"This Cai Yong is really interesting." Zhao Lei said happily in his heart, now he has no resistance to Cai Yan.

"Why don't Yan'er play a song for Brother Shitou!" Cai Yan's voice was so sweet that it was irresistible.

"Brother Stone?" Zhao Lei laughed out loud, no one had ever given him such a name.

So, Zhao Lei sat cross-legged, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an intoxicated look appeared on his face.

The sound of the piano sounded, and the sound of the piano was sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad, sometimes flowing slowly, and sometimes soul-stirring.Zhao Lei who was listening was fascinated, his whole body relaxed, and he felt a sense of ecstasy.
