Chapter 21 Cai Yong: My daughter fell too quickly!
Yaner?
Could it be Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong?
Ye Feng was secretly guessing.
The girl's surprised voice sounded again: "Father, those horse thieves have been driven away by this young master. We are safe now."
"My daughter is fine now, nothing is wrong!!"
Hearing his daughter's voice, the old man leaning against the car wall calmed down.
Seeing her daughter so close, she couldn't help but say happily, "I'm glad she's okay!"
"Who saved us, father and daughter?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the girl's face: "My father was unconscious just now, and I didn't have time to ask this gentleman's name."
The old man looked at Ye Feng, and seeing that he was young, handsome, and full of awe-inspiring righteousness, he felt a little more favorable towards him.
"I am Cai Yong, an old man, traveling south with my daughter Cai Yan. On the way, I encountered a bandit. I am grateful to you for saving me, young master!"
“May I ask the young master’s name?”
As he said this, he was about to bow.
Seeing that his guess was correct, Ye Feng raised his lips and hurriedly supported Cai Yong: "I am Ye Feng, from Zhongshan."
"Mr. Cai is a famous scholar. I am young, how dare I accept your greetings?"
"When we see injustice, we should help. This is nothing!"
Cai Yong had never heard of Ye Feng's name, but when he saw how humble and polite he was, there was a hint of approval in his eyes.
Cai Yan heard the name 'Ye Feng'.
He cried out with a "yeah".
"Are you the Ye Feng who created soap?"
Ye Feng was stunned: "Miss Cai knows me?"
Cai Yong also looked at his precious daughter with confusion.
Cai Yan smiled brightly: "Father, when we were staying at Wuji Zhen's house, I often heard Zhen Tuo and Zhen Rong's sisters bragging about their cousin, and they also took out a lot of rare things for me to use."
"Their cousin is Ye Feng."
Cai Yong suddenly realized: "Are you Zhen Yi's nephew?"
Ye Feng nodded: "My mother is from the side branch of the Zhen family, and the head of the Zhen family is my uncle."
Cai Yong stroked his beard and laughed: "Every bite and every drink is determined by fate."
"My dear nephew, do you know why I went north?"
Ye Feng's mind turned and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that they are also goods for my Zhen family?"
Cai Yong nodded and said, "I was traveling around the world with Yan'er and was going to the border to see the magnificence of the grassland. I happened to learn that a batch of goods of the Zhen family was robbed. Zhang Boping, the head of the Zhang family in Mayi, has some friendship with me, so I wanted to mediate."
"I didn't expect that I hadn't been able to do what Brother Zhen asked me to do, and my daughter and I were saved by his nephew instead."
"It seems that it is impossible not to contribute this time."
Ye Feng suddenly realized: "I feel ashamed to have troubled Mr. Cai to run around for such a small matter."
Cai Yong glanced at Ye Feng meaningfully: "What you did in Zhongshan is not something a child can do."
"The Ye family's business is booming, attracting people from all over the world."
"What can be hidden?"
"There is no wall that is completely leaky, and nothing can be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested."
Hearing the hidden meaning in Cai Yong's words, Ye Feng was secretly shocked. Could it be that there was something missing in the matter of the private soldiers?
If someone reports him now, Ye Feng will suddenly break out in a cold sweat. He is not sure what he is referring to.
Cai Yong smiled and said, "Your uncle and I are close friends. You can just call me Uncle Cai."
"Yes, Uncle Cai!"
Cai Yong continued, "You are cunning enough. Two days ago, Jizhou Governor Han Fu received a report that Ye Zhang of Zhongshan was training private soldiers and intending to rebel." "Don't you know?"
Ye Feng's face changed drastically and his eyes became uncertain.
If he were targeted by the Han court in advance, he would be in big trouble.
After all, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although the Han Dynasty was corrupt, the huge state machine was still functioning. How could a few thousand people of his own compete with it?
Do I have to take my family to find a mountain to hide from the storm?
Cai Yan, who was standing by, saw Ye Feng's embarrassed expression and quickly said, "Brother Feng, don't be afraid. Father and Uncle Zhen have already solved this matter."
"Father, please don't scare Brother Feng. He just saved our lives."
Cai Yong shook his head and laughed, "Girls are really outgoing. We just met and she's already showing off."
Cai Yan blushed: "Father, I won't talk to you anymore!"
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you for your help, Uncle Cai, but I don't know how to solve this problem? Do you have any worries?"
Cai Yong smiled and said, "No problem!"
"The Ye family caravan doesn't need that many people, but the Zhen family's business is spread all over the world. What does a few thousand people count for?"
"And Jizhou Governor Han Fu already has a good relationship with us, so he is naturally willing to give us some face."
"But I specifically told your uncle not to increase the number of people."
"Otherwise, if someone stabs you, it will be hard to stop it."
At this point, Cai Yong paused and asked, "My dear nephew, do the Taiping Dao really dare to rebel?"
Ye Feng nodded and repeated his analysis of the world situation.
Cai Yong sighed after hearing this: "The eunuchs control the government, causing disasters to the world and making life miserable for the people. We know that disasters are brewing, but we can do nothing about it."
"I am truly unworthy of the saint's teachings!"
Ye Feng shook his head: "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."
"The court is in a state of slumber and corruption, and it is not something that one person can change."
"After the catastrophe, perhaps the empire will prosper again?"
Cai Yong's eyes lit up: "My dear nephew, what you said is very true."
Next, Cai Yong tested Ye Feng in all aspects, no matter whether it was astronomy, geography, music, chess, calligraphy or painting, as long as Cai Yong mentioned something, Ye Feng had unique insights.
Cai Yan on the side already had a very good impression of Ye Feng, and Ye Feng's literary talent and insights were comparable to his father's. In addition, when he was staying at the Zhen family, he was influenced by the five sisters of the Zhen family. When she looked at Ye Feng with her beautiful eyes, she felt a different kind of emotion.
Cai Yong and Ye Feng chatted with each other, and before they knew it, a day had passed.
As the sun slowly set, Cai Yong looked at Ye Feng with admiration in his eyes: "The Ye family is truly a unicorn!"
"No wonder Zhen Yi is willing to invest money to help you. If I had a nephew like you, how could I not help you wholeheartedly?"
After Ye Feng awakened his past life memories, he had never met Zhen Yi, so he knew that Zhen Yi was doing this more for his mother's sake.
But he naturally wouldn't point this out: "I have benefited a lot from listening to Uncle Cai's teachings today. If I can listen to Uncle's teachings often, I will be lucky in my lifetime!!"
Cai Yong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't think that my eyesight is blurry. Do you think you have been focusing on an old man like me?"
"I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not to go to the bar?"
Ye Feng said with a serious face: "Sister Yan'er is naturally beautiful, talented and beautiful, so she naturally attracts attention."
"But my nephew's desire to learn from Mr. Cai has never changed."
Cai Yong stroked his beard, smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw his daughter coming out of the carriage holding a zither.
No one knows a daughter better than her father. How could he not understand his daughter’s little thoughts?
He liked Ye Feng very much, so naturally he would not stop the two from communicating.
However, he did not expect that his daughter was usually very picky and any talent was not worth mentioning in her eyes. That was why she took the initiative to do so after meeting Ye Feng for less than a day.
It's true that 'everything conquers everything', but my daughter fell too quickly.
well! !
