Cai Mansion is located near the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although it is inferior to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is also a grand and luxurious mansion that includes landscapes and gardens.

In fact, considering Cai Yong's power and position, he is not qualified to own such a magnificent mansion, but for this literary leader, both Dong Zhuo before and Yuan Shao now are willing to give him extremely high treatment.

I don’t know when this became a habit. People in power will always treat great writers like Cai Yong particularly kindly.

In the study room in the backyard, Cai Yong, who has an elegant and gentle temperament and is dressed in casual clothes, is standing in front of the desk and splashing ink.

I finished my writing and looked at my newly released work, and nodded with great satisfaction.

At this time, brisk footsteps came from the door.

Cai Yong raised his head and looked towards the door, and saw an elegant and beautiful girl wearing a purple fur coat coming in from the outside. He said impromptuly: "Yan'er, come and see what my father just wrote."

This poem!"

It turns out that this girl with outstanding temperament and appearance is Cai Yong's precious daughter, and she is also a famous and talented woman whose beauty is spread all over the world, Cai Yan!

When Cai Yan heard his father's words, he immediately walked to his side, looked at the masterpiece that his father had just completed, chanted it softly, and praised with a smile: "Dad, this piece of poetry about snow is really worthy of being praised.

It’s a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation!”

Cai Yong laughed heartily, stroking his long beard and said happily: "If you think it's good too, then it must be really good!"

Cai Yan smiled slightly, then frowned and said, "I heard that dad sent out more than a hundred invitations this time?"

Cai Yong smiled and said: "Now that the festival is approaching, many young talents are coming to Luoyang. These more than one hundred invitations are the result of careful selection! Otherwise, I'm afraid even a few hundred invitations won't be enough!"

Cai Yan said angrily: "Even those many unlearned and unskilled people have received invitations from dad, and dad still has the nerve to say that he has been carefully selected?"

Cai Yong asked in confusion: "Who is Yan'er talking about?"

Cai Yan said: "For example, the fourth son of the Yuan family, although he is the fourth son of the Prime Minister's family, he is just a rude man who only knows how to wield a sword and a stick!

Tonight's gathering can be said to be a grand event in the literary world, attracting the attention of the whole world. Wouldn't it be a great disgrace to have such a person attend?"

Cai Yong laughed and said: "Although this Fourth Young Master has no poems handed down to the world, it cannot be said that he is just a rough man who does not understand literature! Besides, after all, the Fourth Young Master's status is extraordinary. If today's grand gathering does not include

Invitation is inappropriate, right?

No matter what, we have to look at the Prime Minister’s face!”

Cai Yan was speechless, but she was still very unhappy in her heart. A talented woman like Cai Yan is arrogant. Tonight's event can be said to be her brainchild, and she doesn't want to be affected by rough people like Mr. Yuan Si.

The quality of the event.

Cai Yan felt that if a person like Yuan Mai was self-aware, he should stay at home and not come to the meeting. Otherwise, he would be forced to make a fool of himself in public and let him know that not everyone can come and be arty!

Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark and Xu Shi was approaching.

Zhang Lang and Xu Cheng went out together and headed straight towards Cai Mansion.

Since the distance between the two places was not far, the two of them soon arrived in front of a large gate. At this time, cars and horses were passing by outside the gate, and guests were arriving one after another.

Zhang Lang and Xu Cheng dismounted, and a servant came forward to pick up their mounts, then moved them to the hitching post and tied them up.

The two of them walked up the steps, and a middle-aged servant immediately came forward to greet them, bowed and said: "I wonder if you two young masters have an invitation?"

The two took out the invitation and handed it to the servant. The servant respectfully took the invitation, unfolded it, read it over, and immediately sang toward the door: "Yuan Mai, the fourth son of Yuan, and Xu Cheng, the eldest son of the Xu family, are attending the meeting!"

Step aside and invite two people inside.

The two walked into the threshold, and then a beautiful maid came up to them. She smiled and said to them: "You two gentlemen, please come with me." Then she led Zhang Lang and Xu Cheng towards the backyard.

Go.

Xu Cheng stared at the maid who was leading the way with her waist swaying not far away, and couldn't help but swallowed, with a fiery look in his eyes.

He whispered to Zhang Lang: "Brother Yuan, the maids of the Cai family are all so graceful. I really don't know how the legendary talented Miss Cai Yan will turn all living beings upside down!?

Zhang Lang smiled and whispered: "I advise you not to have high expectations. From ancient times to the present, this so-called talented woman is usually synonymous with ugly!..."

Xu Cheng's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "No, it can't be!"

Zhang Lang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "In short, don't have too much hope, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Xu Cheng swallowed and was speechless.

The two of them followed the maid along the winding corridor and walked for a full stick of incense. Only then did their eyes finally become clear. A small lake appeared in front of them, and the surroundings were brightly lit and crowded. It seemed that this was the grand event tonight.

The scene.

The maid stopped and said with a slight smile to the two men: "You two gentlemen, please do as you please. If there are no other instructions, I will leave!"

The two of them nodded. The maid respectfully stepped back.

Zhang Lang glanced at the scene and estimated that there were probably more than a hundred guests present.

Xu Cheng looked around and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan's eldest brother and second brother are here! Huh? Those are the most famous young talents in Luoyang! Those over there are all important officials in the court.

Disciple!

Haha, everything that should come has come, the charm of beauty is indeed irresistible!"

Zhang Lang said to Xu Cheng, "I'm going to say hello to my elder brother. Will you come with me?" Xu Cheng immediately said, "That's natural. I and Brother Yuan must act together."

Zhang Lang smiled and walked straight towards Yuan Tan, who was talking to someone by the lake not far away.

"Brother!" Zhang Lang cupped his fists and said. "Eldest Young Master." Xu Cheng followed and bowed to Yuan Tan.

Only then did Yuan Tan notice the two of them, and he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be the fourth brother and Xu Cheng!" His eyes fixed on Zhang Lang's face, and he said with some emotion: "We haven't seen each other for many days, and the fourth brother has become even more powerful.

!”

Zhang Lang cupped his fists and said, "Big brother, thank you! Big brother is becoming more and more distinguished, and he has a vague demeanor like his father!"

Yuan Tan was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing.

"Is this Yuan Mai's cousin?" the young man who just talked to Yuan Tan suddenly asked.

Zhang Lang looked at him, and then he realized that this man was actually very handsome and elegant, and he also had an elegant temperament, which made people fall in love with him like a spring breeze.

"You called me cousin?" Zhang Lang asked.
