Soldiers come to the world

Huang Zu said his goodbyes and left. He will rush back to Jiangxia tonight. Cai Mao also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jiangxia's overall situation has been settled, there are still some details that are far from over. That is the treatment of Huang Yong's injury to Liu Cong. .

It should be said that this is a hidden danger. If it is not handled well, the conflict between Liu Biao and Huang Zu will break out sooner or later, but Cai Mao has no idea how to deal with it, and Liu Biao will not mention it at all.

But this matter is also related to the vital interests of the Cai family. Today Liu Biao has hinted that he is willing to continue talking about the marriage between the Liu and Cai families.

It was Liu Biao's hint that caused Cai Mao's enthusiasm for Huang Zu's affairs to subside a little, and he did not insist too much on Huang Zu's Jiangxia negotiations. After all, Huang Zu's interests were still different from those of the Cai family.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Daughter Cai Shaoyu appeared at the door with a pale face. She went to visit Liu Cong today, but she couldn't see him, which made her feel a little unhappy. She didn't know why Liu Cong didn't see her. Could it be that the rumors outside were true? He was wounded and turned into a disabled person.

Cai Shaoyu is 15 years old this year, and she seems to understand the relationship between men and women. She can't understand what it means that Liu Cong has become a useless person?

Cai Mao smiled and said, "Come in! Daddy has something to talk to you about."

Cai Shaoyu walked in and looked at her father timidly. She heard that her father was in a bad mood, and she was a little scared.

Cai Mao sat down and said with a smile to his daughter: "I talked about your marriage with Zhou Mu today, and I thought, since both the two agree, it would be better to get married earlier, and Daddy wants to ask you what you think."

Cai Shaoyu lowered her head, and after a while, she whispered, "Who is the marriage that father mentioned?"

Cai Mao was taken aback, then remembered that there was another Liu Jing, and there was no official statement, Cai Mao smiled gently: "Of course I won't let you marry Liu Jing, it must be Mr. Cong, you grew up together, Now that your wish is coming true, don't you feel happy?"

Cai Shaoyu still didn't raise her head. Although she was still willing to marry Liu Cong in her heart, she found that her enthusiasm for Liu Cong had faded in the past few months, and that Liu Jing didn't seem to be as annoying to her as before. After a deeper understanding, Only then did I realize that he has quite another kind of masculine charm, but Liu Cong doesn't have his charm.

But she still likes Liu Cong a little more, after all, they grew up together, and there is an irreplaceable affection between them, but she is a little worried about those rumors.

"My daughter's marriage...Of course it is the father who decides."

Cai Hao is so shrewd. After his daughter hesitated for a moment, he guessed her daughter's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "You don't have to think too much, the rumors outside are untrustworthy, nine out of ten sentences are exaggerations, Mr. Cong's injury is true. , but Zhang Jin also said that he was only slightly injured, and he will recover after half a year of recuperation, which will not affect your marriage."

"Then why is the father in such a hurry to get his daughter married?"

Cai Mao sighed, and said earnestly: "I won't hide it from you. In recent months, Liu Biao has started to suppress the Jingzhou family, and now he mainly suppresses Huang Zu, so in order to appease the Cai family, I only mentioned the matter of marriage. I am also worried about the future. Liu Biao will turn around and suppress the Cai family, and Liu Qi has already married the Kuai family. For the benefit of the Cai family, I think it is better to settle this marriage as soon as possible, which is extremely beneficial to the family. Your aunt also means the same thing. Now that Liu Biao lets go, make a decision first. I am afraid that he will go back on his word in the future, and the marriage will fail."

In order to appease her daughter, Cai Hao promised her that the Cai family would fully support Liu Cong in seeking the throne and inheriting the great cause of Jingzhou. After repeated persuasion, Cai Shaoyu finally nodded and agreed, "If it is for the benefit of the family, my daughter is willing to accept this marriage. "

Cai Shaoyu bowed and said goodbye. Cai Mao looked at his daughter's back, with a bitter smile on his face. He sighed softly. For the benefit of the family, he could only wrong his daughter first.

.

Liu Biao had a lot of business today, until after dark, when he returned to the mansion, he went to his study, his wife Mrs. Cai came in with a bowl of ginseng tea, and she asked with concern: "The general hasn't eaten yet, right? I asked the kitchen to prepare it." gone."

Liu Biao shook his head, "No need, I've already had dinner in the state office, I just want to rest early."

Mrs. Cai hurriedly stepped forward to take off his coat for him, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Jing'er is back, why didn't the general bring him back for a reunion?"

Liu Biao turned around and gave her a strange look. She had always hated Jing'er, why did she think of letting him come back for dinner today? After thinking about it, Liu Biao suddenly realized that she must have known the marriage consensus reached between herself and Cai Mao. will be so happy.

Liu Biao's guess was right. Liu Biao and Cai Mao reached a consensus on marriage in the afternoon. Cai Mao immediately sent someone to inform Mrs. Cai.

However, Shaoyu's marriage to Liu Cong will not make Mrs. Cai and Liu Jing laugh away. Her hatred for Liu Jing is not just as simple as the marriage between Liu and Cai.

She asked Liu Cong to come here because she had a deeper intention. She wanted to expose his love affair with the daughter of the Tao family in front of her husband, and make him furious at his nephew. Scenes like that must be interesting.

It's a pity that Liu Jing didn't come, which made her feel a little disappointed.

But Liu Biao couldn't understand his wife's delicate thoughts. He always thought that the bad relationship between his wife and nephew was caused by the marriage between the Liu and Cai families. Why doesn't the nephew come to the reunion?

Feeling comforted in his heart, Liu Biao held his wife's delicate hand with both hands, and said with a smile, "We should care more about ourselves, and leave the younger generation alone."

Mrs. Cai understood what her husband meant, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered: "General, I want to have another child."

.

Liu Biao and his wife had been separated for a long time, as if they were newly married. They had a loving affair that night. However, Liu Biao was getting old after all, without the strength and energy of a young man. In less than a cup of tea, he rolled over his wife out of breath. Down, panting heavily.

Mrs. Cai sighed faintly, fumbled for her clothes and put them on, blew out the candle, turned around without saying a word, Liu Biao felt extremely guilty, hugged his wife from behind, and said with a smile: "Are you angry? "

"The general has worked hard all the way, you shouldn't indulge yourself like this today, it's nothing, go to rest early!" Madam Cai said resentfully.

Liu Biao knew his faults. He was old and no longer the courage he used to be. Feeling guilty and annoyed at the same time, he lay on the bed in silence for a while. Neither of them spoke. After a while, Liu Biao changed the subject and said with a smile. : "I thought again that you actually cared about Jing'er, which really made me very relieved."

"In your heart, I'm afraid I'm a heinous stepmother, an aunt who is very vicious to her nephew." Mrs. Cai said angrily

Liu Biao quickly hugged his wife, coaxed him ten thousand times, and vowed that he didn't have such thoughts, Madam Cai turned her worry into joy, and said coquettishly, "Now you know that my heart is not bad!"

"Of course your heart is not bad. Although you may be a bit petty at times, you are still very good on the whole."

Liu Biao smiled slightly: "It's rare that you care about him so much. I wanted him to come, but I was worried that you two wouldn't get along well, so I didn't call him in the end. I knew I should let him come."

Mrs. Cai turned around, snuggled into her husband's arms and said, "It's the general's fault. Am I so narrow-minded? He is a junior after all. I only hope that he will marry another daughter from a famous family.

Speaking of marriage, Jing'er is also 17 years old. The general should pay more attention to his marriage. His father is not here, so it is the general who decides, lest young people be impulsive. When the time comes to marry a businessman's daughter, it will not affect the general's reputation. Well, I'm actually worried about the general's reputation. "

Mrs. Cai's words touched Liu Biao's mind. He originally planned to ask his nephew about the Tao family's affairs today, but his nephew mentioned Jiangdong's filial piety, and he forgot for a moment. Liu Biao pondered and said, "I miss him. You wouldn't be so foolish as to marry the daughter of the Tao family without my consent."

Mrs. Cai sighed, "General, I don't want to spoil the general's interest, but the general also came from a young age. Young people are often hot-headed and desperate for the woman they like. Don't you know the general?

I heard that the daughter of the Tao family is as beautiful as a fairy, no less beautiful than Erqiao of the Eastern Wu. Even Cong'er and Huang Yong are crazy about her, but Jing'er is a person who does not restrain the rules of etiquette. He is very likely to marry Tao's daughter Wife, General, this is my word of advice. "

Liu Biao thought that his nephew was indeed a man of no manners. If he really married a merchant's daughter, it would make him feel ashamed. Liu Biao pondered for a moment and asked his wife, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ?”

Mrs. Cai was waiting for this sentence, she squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "The general might as well use the bottom line to prevent him from marrying the daughter of the Tao family."

"What is the plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot?" Liu Biao asked in confusion.

"General, what I mean is the same as yesterday. Let Cong'er marry the daughter of the Tao family as a concubine. In this way, you can block the mouths of outsiders, and at the same time let Cong'er concentrate on studying. The most important thing is that without the Tao family Daughter, Jing'er will naturally lose her mind, and will no longer do stupid things like marrying a merchant's daughter."

At this time, Liu Biao had another thought. He had long since ignored any emotional factors. In his eyes, marriage was just a combination of interests. The marriage between a nephew and the Tao family could get financial support from the Tao family, which was not good for him. His own control over his nephew, only by letting his nephew rely on him in terms of money and food, will he honestly guard Chaisang for him.

The wife was right, marrying Tao Nu to her son as a concubine, on the one hand, it can break the nephew's stupid idea, on the other hand, it can also break his self-reliance.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao said to himself, "But how should we persuade the Tao family?"

Mrs. Cai raised her eyebrows, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Huh! It is the Tao family's blessing to marry their daughter to the son of Zhou Mu as a concubine. Why do they disagree? Besides, the Tao family is also very responsible for Cong'er's injury. , Do they still have room to bargain?"

Liu Biao nodded slowly. The Tao family is rich in wealth, and marrying the Tao family will also help him obtain enough military funds and food. Give it to Tao Sheng, let him send his daughter to Xiangyang, let Cong'er marry his wife and concubine together."

"What if the Tao family doesn't agree?" Mrs. Cai asked

"If the Tao family dare not agree, I will hold them accountable for their ineffective care!" Liu Biao said coldly.
