Chapter 1105 The Fox Greets the Chicken
Wei Xia finally understood why his father said those words, because even if he killed him, he would never have imagined that Ma Chao would come to the door to wish his father his birthday on such a night!
When the servant outside the door heard the news, Wei Xia couldn't believe his ears at all.When he saw the beautiful figure walking into the main hall, Wei Xia rubbed his eyes vigorously, and at the same time, a thought immediately popped up in his mind-weasel gave the chicken New Year greetings.

However, Ma Chao's next performance was beyond Wei Xia's expectation.First of all, Ma Chao did away with all the red tape of the members of the Wei family paying homage. With Ma Chao's current status, it can be said that in terms of etiquette, it is already a major event. The entire Wei family was imprisoned for questioning.

Next, Ma Chao lowered his status and presented Wei Su with a very extravagant birthday gift, including a foot-sized jade pendant, a red gold dragon and phoenix and a white tiger skin seat, as well as nourishing thousand-year-old ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin according to Ma Chao... ... These things, not to mention just a small head of the Wei family, even a state shepherd guarding one side, may not be able to see them in their lifetime.

After sacrificing these magic weapons, although Wei Xia still wanted to be hostile to Ma Chao, she couldn't move her eyes away from the box after box of birthday gifts - I know that I have suffered, since the Ma family swept Bingzhou , the living indicators of the Wei family dropped rapidly all the way.On the basis of the original decline, it will drop to the end.Although he still has no worries about food and clothing, such a lavish and luxurious dream day is beyond his imagination.

And Wei Su also seemed a little slow under Ma Chao's heavy punch.Finally, seeing Ma Chao's smiling code words, he immediately invited Ma Chao to sit on the right seat, and at the same time sent him down to present him with the Pu'er tea that he had always cherished and was reluctant to drink.After some pleasantries, the members of the Wei family had to admit that Ma Chao was indeed a very talkative and easy to guide the atmosphere.

His easy-going attitude and timely humor quickly dispelled the hostility between the two families that had been kept secret.And just after getting to the point, Ma Chao then changed to a dignified and serious tone, which definitely didn't make all the Wei family members feel domineering, but instead heard the sincerity of seriousness in his tone.

"Come here on this auspicious day. On the one hand, it is natural to celebrate the birthday of Patriarch Wei. On the other hand, because of the slight misunderstanding between the two families, the world has always felt that there is a gap between the two families. In order to eliminate the world's suspicion of our two families I came here today to personally explain the misunderstanding to the Patriarch, hoping to gain the understanding and support of the Wei family."

"The general has broken the old man." Wei Su got up and bowed his head to salute. Although there were no tears in his eyes, he could see that he was already emotional: "At the beginning, the old man was ignorant and avenged his personal revenge. But let the general come to the humble house in person, it really makes the old man feel ashamed!"

Even if the matter is discussed at this point, everyone knows.It is impossible for this matter to pass away like this, but it can be seen that Ma Chao seems to care about the Wei family very much. He will start with the glorious family history of the Wei family and express his admiration for Wei Qing, the supreme general of the Han Dynasty. And the admiration for the great Confucian Wei Hao Gao Fengliang.After that, he talked about his father, and then talked about the history of the Ma family's loyalty to the Han Dynasty in the past few years, his tone was full of emotion.He doesn't look like an invincible general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but like a chatterer who talks endlessly.

"Is that person really Ma Mengqi, the heroic butcher who brought down the Ma family?" Wei Xia didn't understand why Ma Chao was talking so much at this time, pretending to be listening carefully, while whispering to Wei next to him. Kay asked, "What is he trying to do with all this nonsense?"

Wei Kai's expression was a bit strange at this time, and he seemed to wake up after being touched suddenly by Wei Xia.He moved his eyes away from the young scribe next to Ma Chao, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Mencius said that what exists in others is better than the eyes. The eyes can't hide the evil. If the chest is upright, the eyes will be blank; if the chest is not upright , then the eyes are dark..."

Wei Xia knew that Wei Kai had always been a poor man, and he couldn't stand his constant quoting of scriptures for everything, so he immediately interrupted impatiently: "Speak human words."

Wei Kai was stunned by Wei Xia's words, and he didn't respond in the slightest. He said directly: "Although Ma Chao is eloquent, his eyes flickered when he spoke, obviously he didn't think in his heart. And he deliberately talked about the two families. Yuanyuan, just want to pave the way for the following things."

"Hasn't he already forgiven our Wei family? What else do you want to do?" Wei Kai's answer made Wei Xia's face change drastically, and he accidentally made some noises, causing Ma Chao's eyes to look at him involuntarily.

Wei Xia felt a little guilty immediately, especially after seeing Ma Chao's meaningful eyes, his heart was pounding.However, fortunately, Ma Chao's eyes did not linger on him too much.Wei Xia even felt that Ma Chao just wanted to take advantage of his little mistake to take a look at Wei Kai beside him - of course, he wasn't sure about this.For a dude like him, his level is too low.

However, after such a small unintentional interruption, Ma Chao changed the subject and chattered endlessly about how worried he is about the Han Dynasty, how trembling as if he were treading on thin ice, and how he feels that he is not wise enough to be worthy of the high expectations of His Majesty today. etc.At this time, Wei Xia noticed that Ma Chao's emotions seemed to be very agitated, and he waved his arms from time to time to strengthen the appeal, and his voice was sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched.As far as speech skills are concerned, it is quite good, but here it always gives people a strange sense of incongruity to complain to the enemy he once hated.

The "speech" lasted for two incense sticks. Ma Chao finally talked about the original intention of the Ma family to set up the imperial examination and the fact that talents are the first element in troubled times. He emphasized: "The Ma family is not my Ma family alone, it is the world's The Ma family of the common people of Li and common people. For the happiness and peace of Li and common people in the world, there must be a large number of elite talents to work together. The family history of the Wei family has always been..."

"Finally the key point..." Wei Kai thought to himself, but what Ma Chao said next left Wei Kai dumbfounded, and Chi Na, who usually pretended to be unreasonable, was blown to pieces.

"...In view of the above considerations, and the transformation of the good relationship between the Ma family and the Wei family, I decided to invite Wei Kai, a talented man from the Wei family, to be the secretary of the Ma family and stay with me as a counselor. In this way, not only will the Wei family The son will not be buried in the mountains and grasses, and the misunderstanding between the Ma family and the Wei family will disappear..."

Ma Chao's proposal, in the ears of any normal family, is a very good thing that can't be met.But for Wei Su and Wei Kai, they would never agree to this matter.However, Ma Chao spoke up in person today, and even took out the big hat of "the friendship between Ma and Wei" - if Wei Su didn't agree, the consequences could be imagined with his heels.

At this time, Wei Kai could clearly see that the young scribe next to Ma Chao, who had never spoken, showed admiration in his eyes after Ma Chao made such a decision—this kind of reaction is very abnormal!Although Wei Kai knew that he had always been well-known among the scholars in Hedong, but he would never be so famous that Ma Chao personally invited him.Even though such an invitation has obvious political significance, Wei Kai still feels that there is still a deep trick in it!
'Could it mean that before Ma Chao came to Wei's house, he had discovered something? Wei Kai thought of this at the time, his face was pale, and his palms were clenched with cold sweat—behind the screen, there were Cao's most important staff...

What is going on here?How come I, who usually pretends to be very good, have to face such a situation all of a sudden? !
