"It's as simple as that?" Cao Liang's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Bai Lingyun said this from Sima Yi himself, although Sima Yi hid it from her in some things, but about Sima Ru's family affairs, Sima Yi did talk to Bai Lingyun, Sima Yi did not have any hope of recruiting Cao Liang, but hoped that after the marriage with Cao Liang, the relationship between him and Cao Shuang could be divided, and it was already the most ideal result that Sima Yi could accept if the two did not help each other.

It's not that Sima Yi's requirements are low, but Cao Liang's special identity makes Sima Yi a little jealous, and sending a granddaughter to resolve a hostility can be regarded as an equivalent exchange for Sima Yi.

Cao Liang was a little relieved, maybe he thought a little too much, thinking that Sima Yi was treacherous and slippery, and he must want to repay him and pay a price, he wanted to get a very reward, in fact, Sima Yi did not think too complicated about this matter, and he didn't expect to turn enemies into friends, as long as he could divide Cao Liang and Cao Shuang, his goal had already been achieved.

Cao Liang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seems that this Sima Yi is not calculating and shrewd to the bones, in fact, after returning to Beijing this time, he has been marginalized by the Cao Shuang Group, although it is said that there is the credit of Sima Yi's discord plan, it is precisely because of Cao Shuang's distrust of himself that he will be transferred back to Beijing from the position of the governor of the state, and be a nominal auxiliary general, which has been far away from the core of the Cao Shuang group.

In fact, Cao Liang didn't feel that he was marginalized, anyway, Cao Shuang's broken ship is now full of holes, and it hasn't been long since it sank, and the people who stayed on the ship hardly ended well.

Originally, Cao Liang still had the heart to save them, but some people didn't even give him a chance to get on the boat, so Cao Liang didn't bother to take care of it, and let them fend for themselves.

The banner of fighting against the Sima family has to be carried by yourself, doing this kind of thing, it does not mean that the strength of the more people is necessarily greater, if it is really a stupid pig like Cao Shuang, not only will it not help, but it will pull its own hind legs.

is not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, so Cao Liang decided to rather go it alone than get along with Cao Shuang.

Listening to Bai Lingyun's general explanation, Cao Liang made up his mind, since Sima Yi had such an idea, then he could just make a plan, and in turn confuse Sima Yi, making him mistakenly think that he was no longer wary of him, so that when Sima Yi was going all out to deal with Cao Shuang, he calmly dispatched and gave Sima Yi a fatal blow from behind.

After saying goodbye to Bai Lingyun, Cao Liang quickly rushed home, wrote a reply to Xiahou Xuan, and agreed to this family affair, of course, Cao Liang would not write the real reason into the letter, but said that because he listened to Xiahou Xuan's suggestion, thought about it again and again, and thought that Xiahou Xuan's words were reasonable, so he would agree.

There is a fast horse post station between Luoyang and Chang'an, the communication is very convenient, six hundred miles are urgent, one day and one night will arrive, when Cao Liang's reply was sent to the Chang'an Governor's Mansion, Sima Ru had not left Chang'an, and was anxiously waiting for Cao's reply.

Xiahou Xuan looked at his anxious niece and said with a smile: "Ru'er, you don't have to be anxious, he may not be able to listen to other people's words, but my brother's words, he will definitely not listen to them, you don't have to be impatient, just wait for the good news." ”

Sima Ru was anxious, she was willing to sit still, when she was in Luoyang, she hit a wall everywhere, this return to Chang'an to help Yu Xiahou Xuan was already her last hope, if Xiahou Xuan had no choice, then Sima Ru really had nothing to do.

When the two were talking, the stagecoach had already delivered the letter, Xiahou Xuan opened it and read it, stroked his beard and laughed: "As expected, my virtuous brother may not give other people's face, but he still doesn't dare to refute my face." ”

"I'll see—" Sima Ru didn't wait for Xiahou Xuan to finish reading the letter, so he squeezed over to read the content of the letter.

Xiahou Xuan laughed and handed the letter to her, Sima Ru held the letter, and before he finished reading it, he was already crying.

"Ru'er, what are you?" Xiahou Xuan exclaimed, it stands to reason that Cao Liang agreed, she should be happy, how can she cry decently.

Sima Ru wiped away a handful of tears, broke into a smile, and said, "Uncle, I'm happy, he agreed, he finally agreed." ”

Xiahou Xuan looked at Sima Ru's infatuation, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, because he also knew that the relationship between Cao Liang and the Sima family was very deep, and it was not something that could be resolved by a Sima Ru marrying in the past, if the contradiction between Cao Liang and the Sima family intensified in the future, Xiahou Xuan didn't know how Sima Ru would deal with himself, just like his sister Xiahou Hui, in a dilemma, in a dilemma.

The fates of their mother and daughter are so similar, maybe it's really tricky.

Sima Shi, who was immersed in happiness, of course would not think about these at such a moment, she quickly returned to Luoyang, gave Sima Shi the letter written by Cao Liang to Xiahou Xuan, and said excitedly: "Daddy, what you said is true, except for my uncle, no one can really convince him." ”

Sima Shi reluctantly squeezed out a little smile on his face, and said: "This is not your father's idea, your grandfather came up with it, and your marriage, if it weren't for your grandfather's nod, your father wouldn't dare to call the shots." ”

"Then I thank Grandpa for going."

Sima Shi stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "No need, your grandfather just drank medicine and lay down to rest, so you don't have to disturb him today, let's do it another day." Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Cao Ziming has already sent someone to send a dowry, and your family affairs are decided. Although you are the identity of the second wife, after all, our Sima family is also a faceless family in Luoyang, so everything Cheng Yi is carried out according to the official wedding, and the date for the sixth day of February next year is initially set. ”

The second wife is just a nice name, in fact, it is the identity of the concubine, in this era, only the main wife has the identity of the wife, and the other women are all concubines, but the status of the concubine is also high and low, and the status of the second wife in the concubine room is undoubtedly the highest.

And the daughter of the Sima family, although Cao Liang had to succumb to the position of the second wife because Cao Liang had already married a wife before, but the specifications of Sima Shi's marriage to a daughter could not be reduced because she was a second wife, at least he had to marry a daughter in accordance with the etiquette of the marquis, so Sima Shi must also prepare a valuable dowry.
