Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Words of the Matchmaker

Marrying a wife is a major event in a person's life, Tao Qian once wanted to choose a family affair for Tao Ying, but he didn't want to delay it. Unexpectedly, after Tao Ying proposed it himself, in a blink of an eye, Tao Qian realized that he was already old.

"My lord, this is not right! As the saying goes, marrying a wife is the order of the parents, and there is no matchmaker, how to propose marriage by yourself? Won't it make the world laugh at it? ”

There was a person in the crowd, that person Tao Ying didn't know, but with his objection, Mi Zhu next to him also objected: "Yes, the lord." As the saying goes, this marriage should also pay attention to the right person, the son is a noble and a big hero of our Xuzhou City, how can he marry the daughter of a businessman as his wife? ”

"yes, yes!"

More and more people in the hall began to discuss, and the potter also turned to look at Tao Ying. Seeing that everyone was opposed, the potter hurriedly stood up and said: "Father, Ying'er has indeed reached the age of marriage, I propose that it is better to let Sun Beijia be the matchmaker, how about proposing marriage to Lord Mi's family for Ying'er?" ”

As soon as Mizhu was mentioned, everyone remembered that the Mizhu family happened to have a daughter out of the cabinet, and the Mi family was a big family in the East China Sea, and the big family wanted to make friends with the powerful, and the powerful also wanted to rely on the big family, which happened to be a good thing.

Cao Hong was also busy beside him and said: "The eldest prince said this very well, I have heard that Miss Mi knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is a beautiful girl, and she is a natural pair with her son!" ”

Cao Hong also wanted to ease the relationship with Tao Ying, but he didn't want Zhang Fei behind him to smash the quilt to the ground with a pop. Everyone was startled by the sound of broken cups, Tao Ying turned his head, and beside Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were also extremely embarrassed.

"Why do you always have trouble with my eldest brother? If it weren't for my eldest brother, would this Tan County still be able to hold on? Master Mi has already married Miss Mi to my eldest brother, you have robbed my eldest brother, why do you always have trouble with us? ”

Zhang Fei began to sprinkle in the hall.

Liu Bei is a person who wants to save face, seeing that everyone is talking about it, and Tao Qian's face is also ugly on the main seat, Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei and shouted: "Third brother, don't let you get drunk, don't let you get drunk, you don't listen!" Look at you, you're drunk again! Don't hesitate to apologize to Lord Thorn Shi! ”

Zhang Fei looked at Tao Ying with his eyes open, looking at his expression, without the slightest thought of repentance. Liu Bei hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Fei and shouted: "Third brother, you are enough, if you say more, I will not recognize you as a younger brother!" ”

Everyone was a little surprised, but they never thought that Liu Bei had just gone to the Mi family to propose marriage yesterday, and the Mi family had already agreed to Liu Bei's family affairs. I didn't want these unpleasant things to happen today, and many officials in the hall were a little embarrassed for a while, they had a good relationship with Liu Bei, and they didn't dare to offend Tao Qian.

Tao Ying didn't want everyone to be so embarrassed, in order to ease the atmosphere, Tao Ying hurriedly smiled and said, "How can I take the people loved by others?" What's more, Miss Mi is everyone's best girl, I have been more dissolute and uninhibited since I was a child, I'm afraid we can't get along with each other, won't it ruin the happiness of Miss Mi's life? ”

Zhang Fei snorted and turned his head and sat down without speaking, Zhang Fei was angry, Guan Yu kept watching everyone from the side, and didn't say a word. It seems like he's just waiting for an opportunity to put everyone here in the middle.

Hearing Tao Ying's words, Liu Bei's face finally regained some blood. Liu Bei has never seen Miss Mi either, this is just a political marriage in which he won over the wealthy family in Xuzhou.

"Since my younger brother doesn't want to be strong, why don't you choose the daughters of other adults as his wife?"

The potter was busy playing a round next to him, and everyone here was not easy to offend. Tao Ying holds the military power and is invincible, the Cao family also has the military power, and Cao Hong is the person who followed Tao Qian to fight in the south and the north, and he is an old minister. The Mi family is a wealthy merchant in the East China Sea, rich and rivals the country, and Sun Qian is Tao Qian's most trusted debater.

And it seems that the only thing that can be offended is Liu Bei, who has no identity, he has few soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are all from Xuzhou, and he claims to be a descendant of the royal family, but everyone knows that the descendants of the royal family are all over the street. For example, Xiapi Kingdom, Pengcheng Kingdom, and Langya Kingdom, those are the real royal families with feudal countries!

Tao Ying glanced at the eldest brother pottery merchant, he knew that this was the eldest brother who wanted to help him, but where was he willing? So Tao Ying replied: "Big brother, what's wrong with me wanting to marry Gan's wife?" Can't I marry someone I like? ”

"Of course you can, a man can't have three wives and four concubines, my younger brother can take a girl as a concubine, and this wife still needs to listen to his father's arrangement!"

The potter next to him also persuaded him, and Tao Ying sighed. When it comes to taking concubines, he has never thought about it, after all, he is used to living in modern society, where is there any concept of three wives and four concubines!

Seeing the noise below, Tao Qian waved his hand to quiet everyone down, and then turned to Cao Hong and said, "Turn back, you help Ying'er find a family affair." Today is a day of great joy for victory, what kind of official do you say should be awarded according to military merits? ”

Tao Qian originally knew how to be promoted, but in order not to let people gossip, he still handed over this task to Cao Hong. Cao Hong is his favorite minister, and he also wants to ease the relationship between Cao Hong and Tao Ying, after all, he will be an official in Xuzhou in the future, and he will not look up and see him.

Cao Hong also wanted to give Tao Ying a bigger official, but he didn't want Tao Ying to kneel on the ground and said: "Father, although Cao Cao was defeated, he still did not give up on Xuzhou, and he was not powerful, and he was willing to return to Pengcheng to resist Cao Cao!" ”

No matter what, Tao Ying will not let others take over his military power. This is what he has crossed over and earned by himself. There are also those lands in Pengcheng and Xiapi that he took his life from Cao Cao, and he himself felt that he should control these lands.

Seeing that Tao Ying was reluctant to return to Tan County as an official, Tao Qian didn't want to force him too much, after all, it was his own son. Liu Bei next to him also persuaded: "Since Gongzi insists on returning to Pengcheng, the lord might as well agree with Gongzi once, but Gongzi is guarding Pengcheng, and Xiaopei has no one to guard, I am willing to lead the troops to guard Xiaopei!" ”

Liu Bei was going to Xiaopei, and Tao Ying was going back to Pengcheng, but at this time, Tan County after the victory was in a dispute again. It seems that all disputes are inseparable from the land, and many people are still haunted by Tao Ying's strength. is also holding a grudge against him for forcibly seizing Xiapi, and he is also indignant for his robbery of the wealth of the great clan.

Although according to the regulations, these lands belong to Xuzhou, even if there are some struggles in the middle, they are all internal contradictions among the people! So, Tao Ying also felt that because of the unpleasantness of the Xiapi incident, it was better to find out what to say now than everyone held it in their hearts. Besides, Tao Ying also knew that if he didn't have some blood this time, he might become a warlord who broke the law.

So Tao Ying hurriedly bowed to Tao Qian and said, "Father, I know that all of you have opinions about me leading the troops. But I led the troops to garrison Pengcheng, which was really a threat to Cao Cao, so that he did not dare to come east. ”

"Childe, according to Pengcheng, is really a good thing. It's just that Xiapi is far away from Yanzhou, is the son ......?"

I don't know where a civil official in his fifties stood up. Tao Ying still doesn't know him, did he also confiscate his family's money?

These big tyrants, with so much money at home, it is useless for the people, it is better to take it out and build the city by yourself and spend it for them! So Tao Ying asked again: "I really have no intention of taking it from Xiapi, otherwise I wouldn't have led the troops north to fight Cao!" ”

To be honest, Tao Ying never thought about taking Picheng at all, because he knew that a metropolis didn't care how big his territory was, but whether he had enough talent and courage, and sometimes the place was big, but it would drag him down Pengcheng!

Sun Qian next to him also hurriedly interjected and said: "Since it is all a misunderstanding, then this matter will be solved." Childe only needs to return Xiapi to Liu Taishou, isn't this everything solved? ”
