Chapter 659: Difficult to Choose
Cao Liang was slightly stunned, at this time, Xiahou Xuan suddenly wrote a letter to him, it was indeed a little strange, could it be that there was something important?
Cao Liang opened the letter, and Xiahou Xuan only mentioned one thing in detail in addition to a simple greeting, that is, Sima Ru's matter, it turned out that she hadn't seen Sima Ru in the past few days, and she actually went to Chang'an.
Cao Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly, this ghost elf, after Luoyang confessed to no avail, would actually move Xiahou Xuan's door, Xiahou Xuan is her uncle, naturally towards her, with his relationship with Xiahou Xuan, if Xiahou Xuan comes forward to ask for marriage, Cao Liang is really difficult to refuse.
Sure enough, Xiahou Xuan mentioned this matter in the letter, although he did not mean to force Cao Liang to accept it, but he mentioned his apologies to his sister Xiahou Hui, so he has a special love for his sister's daughter Sima Ru, and naturally cares about her life's events, since Sima Ru likes Cao Liang so much, Xiahou Xuan hopes that Cao Liang can think about it carefully, instead of simply and rudely refusing.
Xiahou Xuan also said that although Sima Ru is a little willful and a little petty, she treats people sincerely and enthusiastically, has no heart, and is very persistent, I believe that she can become a virtuous helper. Sima Ru's life in Sima's family is also not satisfactory, Sima Yi and Sima Master's sons are cold by nature, they only value power and status, and they don't care about the happiness of their children, Xiahou Xuan hopes that Cao Liang can help Sima Ru and save her from the fire pit of Sima's family, so as to prevent her from marrying a person who is ungrateful and righteous, and prevent the tragedy of his sister Xiahou Hui from repeating again.
Sima Ru has always been in love with Cao Liang, and even swore that he would not marry, Xiahou Xuan hoped that Cao Liang would not live up to Sima Ru's feelings, no matter how deep the grudge between Cao Liang and the Sima family was, Sima Ru was innocent after all.
Putting down the letter, Cao Liang's mind was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Sima Ru's feelings for him are true or false, Cao Liang has never doubted it, in fact, he doesn't have much disgust with Sima Ru, in fact, it is more of an appreciation.
In this era of paying attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, Sima Ru dares to express her heart and confess her love, she is already a very "brave" girl, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, Sima Ru does this, there is nothing wrong with it, she persistently insists on her love, which is quite touching.
She is so young, so beautiful, so enthusiastic, if it weren't for the surname Sima, Cao Liang really had no reason to refuse, but it was because she was the daughter of Sima Shi that Cao Liang had a layer of concerns.
The grudge between himself and the Sima family, it is not a simple grudge, if it is just because of a fight for a woman or some business conflicts, Cao Liang is easy to let go, but as a traverser, Cao Liang knows that as a member of the Cao clan, and the Sima family who seeks the throne of the dynasty, there is a family hatred and hatred of the country, how can such a grudge be resolved?
If she really marries Sima Ru, then she will inevitably face the most difficult choice in the future, is to support her husband? Or support the father? The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she watches her relatives fighting, and whoever falls will be the most painful thing for her.
Therefore, it is not that Cao Liang looks down on Sima Ru, but Cao Liang does not want to have too many entanglements with the people of the Sima family, after all, Sima Ru is different from Yang Huiyu Bai Lingyun, and what flows in her body is the blood of the Sima family after all.
And the mixing of the Sima family made this simple marriage even more complicated, Sima Ru confessed to him that it could only be regarded as a matter of the two of them, and Sima Shi sent someone to propose marriage, but it obviously changed the taste of this family affair.
As long as political interests are mixed in any marriage, it will no longer be easy.
Whether it is the status of the Sima family or the status of Cao Liang, in today's Luoyang City, it can obviously be called pivotal, and the marriage between the Sima family and the Cao family caused the earthquake and tsunami level.
There is no doubt that if Sima Yi and Sima Master and son did not get considerable benefits in this marriage, they would obviously not have agreed to this marriage, and now they not only readily agreed, but also took the initiative to send someone to propose, obviously there are huge interests driving them.
Could it be that the Sima family wants to rely on this family affair to win over Cao Liang and pull him into the camp of the Sima family, Cao Liang feels that Sima Yi can't think so simply, after all, the grievances between the two sides are very deep before, and the status of the two sides is also extremely opposed, just by virtue of a family matter, he wants to change the current situation, if Sima Yi really thinks so, it is too naïve.
But the Sima family's efforts to promote this family affair must have a purpose, but it is just that Cao Liang is not a roundworm in Sima Yi's stomach, and it is impossible to guess Sima Yi's true thoughts.
Originally, Cao Liang directly rejected the Sima family, and no matter what Sima Yi thought, he would not let him succeed, but Xiahou Xuan's letter put Cao Liang in a dilemma.
Xiahou Xuan's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants him to marry Sima Ru home, presumably this time Sima Ru arrived in Chang'an, and there were a lot of tears, naturally won Xiahou Xuan's sympathy, Xiahou Xuan is very concerned about Sima Ru's marriage, since Sima Ru is going to marry Cao Liang alive or dead, Xiahou Xuan, as her uncle, is naturally also towards her, and sincerely hopes that Cao Liang can accept her.
As his old superior and best friend, Cao Liang couldn't turn a blind eye to Xiahou Xuan's request, but Cao Liang couldn't just agree so easily, after all, before finding out Sima Yi's true intentions, Cao Liang had to think about it carefully.
So Cao Liang didn't write a reply to Xiahou Xuan immediately, although this is an extremely impolite way, it is estimated that Xiahou Xuan is really waiting for his reply, but Cao Liang is impossible to reply to Xiahou Xuan before making a decision, even if it makes Xiahou Xuan feel that it doesn't matter if he sinks into the sea.
Cao Liang called Cao Fu in and asked him to send someone to inform Bai Lingyun that this month's appointment time was advanced to tomorrow, and the location was in Tianxiang Building.
The date with Bai Lingyun is not simply a love between men and women, it is through the tryst with Bai Lingyun that Cao Liang has a lot of important information about the Sima family, and he also exchanged a lot of information.
Cao Liang asked Bai Lingyun to come out this time, just to know Sima Yi's true purpose, after all, this matter is very important to him, Cao Liang does not dare to take it lightly, Cao Liang will not make any decision until he understands Sima Yi's true intentions.
