The situation in Jingzhou, as Fa Zheng guessed, Cao Ju's envoy arrived one step earlier than the envoy from Yizhou, and through Cai Mao's recommendation, he had already met Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

Cai Mao is the breakthrough point in Jingzhou set by Cao Ju, because among the several major families in Jingzhou, the Cai family is definitely the first, and the rest like the Kuai family, the Huang family, the Ma family, etc., are not as powerful as the Cai family in Jingzhou.

Jingzhou at this time was different from Jingzhou after Cao Cao unified the north in history.

At this time, Liu Biao had just come to Jingzhou for less than two years, he rode into Jingzhou alone, and he did not have much power in himself, only the identity of the royal family, and he was the uncle of the current emperor, no matter which emperor it was.

The attitude of the Cai family, the Huang family, the Kuai family, the Ma family, etc. towards Liu Biao is not exactly the same, and among several major families, the conflict is not small, everyone wants to control Liu Biao, but they are not completely sure, and they are more worried about being attacked by the rest of the families.

At this time, Liu Biao has lost his wife for three years, and it is time to continue the strings, so many families in Jingzhou want to marry their daughters or sisters to Liu Biao and be Mrs. Jingzhou.

Cai Mao has just taken over the position of head of the family, although she is young, her ambition is not small.

Cai Mao has two sisters, the eldest sister Cai Wen married Huang Chengyan of the Huang family in Jingzhou, and the second sister Cai Yuan, who is in the boudoir, and is born with natural beauty, it is the age to get married, so Cai Mao also has this idea.

However, Liu Biao is almost half a hundred, and Cai Mao's second sister Cai Yuan is just seventeen years old, twenty days older than Cai Mao, and has a half-mother, so the difference between Cai Yuan and Liu Biao is almost thirty years old, two generations.

Cai Yuan was born in a wealthy family, and was instilled with the concept of family interests first since she was a child, so after Cai Mao told her about it, Cai Yuan understood that she had no other choice, so she had to tearfully agree.

This is the situation in real history, but the arrival of Cao Ju flapped the wings of the butterfly and changed the situation.

The next day, the day after Cai Mao told Cai Yuan about this, when Cai Yuan was sleeping heavily because she cried all night last night, an uninvited guest came to Cai's house.

The person who came claimed to be the old man of Cai's mansion, and he had a good friend with Cai Wei.

This is not small, Cai Mao is Cai Mao's father, he just died less than a year, his deceased is naturally Cai Mao's uncle, how dare Cai Mao slack, he immediately went to the door to greet him.

After Cai Mao arrived, she saw that the person who came was nearly forty years old, and she looked dignified and elegant.

Jingzhou Chongwen, Cai Mao just saw the visitor, although he didn't know the identity of the other party, he didn't dare to slack off, and the person who came gave him a feeling of being knowledgeable.

After sitting down in the living room, Cai Mao also knew the identity of the person who came, named He Hao.

When Cai Mao was young, he did hear Cai Hao say that he had a friend named He Hao, who was a famous man in the Qing Dynasty, but because he offended the eunuchs, he had been hunted down by the imperial court, and he didn't know what his whereabouts were.

At that moment, Cai Mao saluted He Hao as a nephew, and he was even more surprised in his heart, he had heard for a long time that He Hao was now under the command of the general Cao Ju, and was one of the several great strategists under the command of the general Cao Ju, with a very high status, and suddenly came to Jingzhou today, could it be ......

Without waiting for Cai Mao to finish guessing, He Hao said with a smile: "Deqi, my uncle suddenly came to Jingzhou today, firstly, to pay homage to his old friend, and secondly, to bring a great good thing to your Cai family." ”

Worship Cai Wei, that's for sure, but, a great good thing, Cai Mao is a little incomprehensible, what kind of good thing can be a great good thing?

Cai Mao immediately hugged his fists and said: "Thank you uncle, I don't know what my uncle said, what is the great thing?" ”

He Hao smiled slightly and said: "If your uncle's memory is good, you have a second sister, the eldest sister is married to the Huang family in Jingzhou, and the second sister is still waiting for the boudoir, right?" ”

Cai Mao's heart moved, and she said silently on the surface: "What my uncle said is good, the little nephew and second sister are indeed in the boudoir, I don't know what my uncle means?" ”

This sentence, on the surface, Cai Mao still respects He Hao, but in fact, it is already quite accusatory.

He Hao understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle is here, of course, for the Cai family. ”

Sure enough, Cai Mao was not happy when he arrived, and snorted coldly in his heart, the affairs of my Cai Mansion are not your turn to intervene, do you really regard yourself as my Cai Mao's uncle?

At this time, Cai Mao was still too young, and her displeasure was not only revealed, but also reflected in the following words: "This matter, don't bother your uncle, the marriage of the little nephew and the second sister, the little nephew has already made a plan, so I don't worry about my uncle." ”

He Hao did not feel any unhappiness at all because of Cai Mao's attitude, but laughed and said: "De Jue, my uncle knows that you want to marry your second sister to Liu Biao of Jingzhou Mu as his wife, this matter can certainly bring the greatest benefits to Cai's mansion, but Liu Biao is nearly half a hundred years old, and the second sister of Ru is in her prime, so it will harm her life." ”

"Ah......" Cai Mao was taken aback when she heard this, and looked at He Hao incredulously, as if she had seen a ghost.

Cai Mao just had this idea just now, and she just talked to Cai Yuan once, and didn't tell the third person, but she didn't know how He Hao would know.

He Hao was also secretly surprised in his heart, the lord is really powerful, he knows the world without going out, and he can even know that Cai Mao wants to marry his sister to Liu Biao.

Cai Mao thought to herself, could it be that the second sister was unwilling to marry Liu Biao, and when she learned that He Hao was here, she asked He Hao to come over and talk about it?

However, Cai Mao felt that this possibility was not right, first, Cai Yuan rarely went out, second, He Hao had just come to Jingzhou, and third, even if Cai Yuan found He Hao to make peace, he would not buy He Hao's face, after all, it meant the interests of the Cai family.

At that moment, Cai Mao said quietly and lightly: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but this matter is a family matter of Caifu, and my uncle is an outsider, so it is inconvenient to participate in it." Well, my uncle came from afar, and he must have been tired along the way, so the little nephew asked him to prepare a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for his uncle. ”

However, He Hao seemed to be ignorant, and smiled slightly: "What De Jue said is very true, this matter is a family matter of the Cai Mansion, and the uncle is an outsider, so it is inconvenient to participate, but the uncle feels that one day he will give a good son-in-law, if the Cai Mansion does not want it, once it is obtained by the rest of the families in Jingzhou, I am afraid that the Cai family will not be able to be the first in Jingzhou in the future." ”

Cai Mao was even more angry in her heart, and said coldly: "Could it be that my uncle is preparing to let the general Cao Ju be my Cai Mansion's son-in-law?" ”

When He Hao heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "De Jue is really amazing, he can actually guess the meaning of his uncle's coming, yes, that's exactly the case, I don't know what De Jue wants?" ”
