The next day, Li Li took Chen Yu and Dian Wei to visit Cai Yong.

Cai Yong had made a special trip to thank Li Li last night. Because of this, he wanted to visit Cai's Mansion today.

Although it is very troublesome to come and go, this is the etiquette nowadays.

Although Li Li has great kindness to save the Cai family's daughter, if he does not visit the Cai family, it would be rude. In the future, once this matter is spread, it will have an unpredictable impact on his reputation.

The Eastern Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and etiquette. Everyone respected etiquette and abide by filial piety. Even the imperial court recruited officials to promote filial piety and integrity as the orthodox way to enter the officialdom.

It can be seen from this that etiquette has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Han Dynasty and has served as the cornerstone of filial and honest scholars.

Cai Mansion is located on the east side of the palace. It is the gathering place for the three dukes and nine ministers in the court, and it is also a residential area guarded by heavy troops.

The Cai Mansion is extremely conspicuous in this mansion. The house is very large and lives next to Situ Wang Yun, but it is more than twice the size of Situ Mansion.

The gate is tall and magnificent, and it is incomparable to the dilapidated plaques of Situ Mansion.

The Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to Cai Zhonglang, and has great favors and generous rewards. This is well known to all civil and military officials in the court.

But Situ Wang Yun is now a thorn in Dong Zhuo's eyes and a thorn in his flesh, which is extremely unwelcome.

However, Wang Yun was cautious in his actions and his words and deeds were clear, which made Dong Zhuo unable to find a suitable excuse to remove him.

However, Situ's mansion was very miserable and the house was dilapidated. Compared with the Cai Mansion with a high wall, it was indeed a verdict, which was clear at a glance.

Such a sharp contrast, over time, Wang Yun was inevitably dissatisfied with him. He had been with Cai Yong for many years and regarded him as his confidants, but now he is like strangers and has the same power as fire.

Li Li didn't care about the grudges between these scholars and officials, and smiled it out with the idea that he didn't care about his own affairs.

However, he knew that Cai Yong would die at Wang Yun's hands next year, and was beaten as Dong Zhuo's accomplice of the rebellion, his family was conspired to be conspiring to exterminate the clan.

As for why Cai Yan was not killed by Wang Yun, this is an unsolved mystery. Perhaps it is because her identity as the daughter-in-law of the Wei family helped her escape the disaster. After all, the Hedong Wei family was the family where the general Wei Qing and the imperial concubine Wei Zifu were located during the reign of Emperor Wu, and the real century-old noble family. Such a highly prominent family, even the abandoned wife of the Wei family, was not something that ordinary people could kill at will.

In the main hall of Cai Mansion, the guest and the host sat down.

After a greeting, Cai Yong looked at Li Li with a smile, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Indeed, if Li Li was unwilling to visit the Cai family because he was self-reliant to be kind to the Cai family, then his impression in Cai Yong would be extremely poor, and he would even dilute the kindness between them without a trace.

As long as Cai Yong finds the opportunity to repay Li Li's helping hand, there will be no relationship between them and they will be like a stranger.

Now that Li Li returns to visit, the friendship between the two families will be settled.

In the future, as long as Cai Yong's bottom line is not touched, the previous life-saving grace will continue forever and make a close friend.

"My dear nephew, General Li Jue has led his army to station in Anyi. Why did the Grand Master leave you alone to stay in the capital?"

After drinking a sip of tea, Cai Yong asked with a smile.

Li Li was shocked when he heard this, and a trace of light flashed through his eyes, and then he said in confusion: "I'm not hiding it to you, my nephew is puzzled by this. I wonder if he can solve my doubts for me?"

Cai Yong smiled slightly when he heard this, stroked his gray beard and looked at Li Li with deep eyes.

"My nephew, you are not an outsider in my house. Besides, you are the same age as your little daughter Zhao Ji and have kindness to my Cai family. Therefore, we don't have to be called an official position, which seems too alien. Although I am older than your father, the deceased is older, so you call me uncle. I am the same as your second uncle Li Jue, and I am the same official position. If you call me uncle, I can still afford it."

"Uh, that's great! My nephew had this idea for a long time, but I was reckless by nature and dared not act rashly, for fear of damaging my uncle's reputation. Today, I will never give up my uncle, and I will fulfill my long-cherished wish. It is really a blessing in my life. My uncle is above and I will be bowed by my nephew Li Li!"

Li Li stood up and knelt down in surprise, and worshiped respectfully.

However, the moment he knelt down and leaned over, he thought to himself: "Cai Zhonglang, I, Li Li, are not a person who recognizes relatives casually. This worship was prepared for my future father-in-law. Now you can advance it in advance, anyway, it's all about it."

In fact, the reason why Li Li has not attended the court meeting recently is that he does not want to kneel down to the ten-year-old emperor and Dong Zhuo. He has been wearing armor before, but he can't always do this.

So he simply asked the leave to the Central Changshi Li Ru and stopped going to the morning court to discuss matters. As a result, his ears became much quieter.

So far, Li Li has not kneeled down to anyone. Cai Yong is the first and the one who is willing to kneel down.

After all, Mr. Cai got a daughter in middle age. After his wife gave birth to Cai Yan, she died of illness a few years later. It was not easy for him to raise his daughter alone, so he deserved this worship!

Of course, Li Li didn't dare to mention the fact that he fell in love with the Cai family's daughter now, otherwise Mr. Cai would definitely get angry on the spot, and that would be a waste of time.

According to the Han Dynasty's ritual system, after the direct relatives die of illness, their children need to be mourned for three years, while their wives and concubines keep their souls for three years.

Now Cai Yan's husband's family has been dead for more than a year, and there is still a period of more than a year of wake.

If Li Li mentioned his admiration for Cai Yan to Master Cai at this time, it would be like self-destruction, and he would probably have no chance with Cai Yan from then on.

As long as Master Cai is still alive in the world, Li Li will definitely have no chance and will give up this thought as soon as possible.

Where did the title of Master Lao come from? Isn’t it the old stubborn who protects the ritual system and the laws of his ancestors?

"Okay, okay, okay! Wenchang, I have been looking forward to having a successor, but I didn't expect that I have you, my nephew, now. I'm happy! Where are you here, please continue to ask me, I'm going to hold a banquet for Wenchang today, and we uncle and nephew will stop when we get drunk!"

Perhaps Cai Yong was older and was looking forward to successors. Since he treated Li Li politely as a ceremony to recognize his relatives, he would also hold a banquet to celebrate.

"Come here, go and find Zhao Ji and Li'er's cousin, Miss Chen Yu. Today is a family dinner so that they don't have to avoid it."

Cai Yong was happy and ordered again.

This time he summoned Cai Yan, who had been silent, and it was obvious that he really didn't treat Li Li as an outsider, and he looked at him like a nephew.

While laughing happily, Cai Yong said to Li Li: "Wenchang, the reason why Tai Shi Dong did not send you to station in Anyi is actually trying to weaken the military power of your second uncle Li Jue. Of course, this is not that Tai Shi does not trust Li Jue, but that as the master, he has to do this, and proper prevention is essential.

But you and Li Jue set up a new branch because of family affairs, which really gave Tai Shi Dong an opportunity to take advantage of it. So he took the opportunity to place the most combative Longxiang Camp under Li Jue's command under your name. In this way, even Li Jue was dissatisfied, he had to bear this tone, because you were the eldest son of the three generations of the Li family, and it was completely reasonable to take over the Qu Longxiang Camp of the Li family. However, Longxiang Camp is brave and good at fighting, and it is a pity to be stationed outside the city, and it is useless. Over time, I am afraid that the soldiers will be declining and their morale will be greatly reduced.

Wenchang, what do you think about this?"

Li Li could see that what Cai Yong said was true, and every sentence was heartfelt.

He immediately stopped hiding his thoughts and said bluntly: "My uncle is right, and my nephew also has concerns about this. My nephew has always wanted to lead the Longxiang Camp to other counties, otherwise the combat power of Longxiang Camp will be abandoned. If he can control this army alone, it doesn't matter even if he goes to the border counties. As long as he has a certain decision-making power, I will be able to break out of a world and make achievements!

But at the moment, our army has no war, and the peace is everywhere, and the Kanto prefectures and counties are not under our control, so we can't get involved at all. What can we do if we just shout?"

"Hahaha! Wenchang is not worried. Since we are already a family, my uncle will give you this old face and find a good job!"
