Chapter 173: Cai Mao's complicated feelings
Kuai Yue is having a headache about his sister's affairs.
Why not Cai Mao?
Cai Mansion, inside Cai Mao's residence. The father and daughter looked at each other with only one case apart. The servants and maids in the house have also been sent away.
Cai Mao's expression was a little strange, he had just listened to some of his daughter's words. Something incredible. It was so incredible that Cai Mao thought she had heard it wrong.
"You say that compared to Liu Feng, Liu Cong is too dim? Can you think that you have chosen Liu Feng? Cai Mao couldn't help but confirm again.
"I don't know if it's okay, but according to Yueying, if I marry Liu Feng, it won't hurt the Cai family at all." Cai Da didn't deny it, and looked at her father very honestly.
Cai Mao really had a headache, and he felt guilty about Cai Yu, which gave Cai Da extremely high authority to choose her favorite husband. The daughter admits that she doesn't like Liu Cong, that is, she likes Liu Feng.
Cai Mao knows that Cai Yu is now in Liu Feng's house, in fact, it is not ridiculous for this aunt and nephew to serve a husband. But it also depends on the person. is like the Ninety-Five, as long as you don't marry a woman from the same clan as you, marrying anyone will not attract gossip.
But the difference between Liu Feng and the Ninth Five-Year Honor is not ordinary. The Cai clan is not a small clan, but a big clan of Jingchu. Of course, Cai Mao was unhappy in her heart.
Cai Da is also a woman with a calm reading ability and judgment, and Cai Mao believes that if she tells Cai Yu about Cai Yu, Cai Da will definitely reconsider this issue. But here's the problem, it's hard to tell Cai Da about Cai Yu's affairs.
"Is it okay to choose someone else? Being a father can give you two years, even three years, four years, even if you are raised until you are twenty years old, even if others gossip. As long as you don't find someone you like, your father will support you. Cai's is not Fei's, and being a father is not Feiguan, he needs to use his daughter to make money. Perhaps because she felt that she owed Cai Yu a lot, Cai Mao was always not dignified in front of her daughter's lack of money, especially her daughter's marriage, so she had to propose in a low voice.
"Isn't my father very close to that Liu Feng? And Liu Feng's ability and ambition must be clear to his father. Now that he has dissolved his marriage with Fei, why can't it be him? Cai Da looked at Cai Mao with some puzzlement.
And my daughter really likes him, he is stronger than Liu Cong, and he has a greater sense of security. Don't you often say that Jingzhou seems to be rich now, but in fact it is stormy? Liu Feng sits in Jiangxia and is extremely capable. It's much better for his daughter to marry him than to marry Liu Cong. After a pause, Cai Da said again.
"Do you value his abilities? And not really like him? Cai Mao thought that she had found a way to persuade her daughter, so she was overjoyed and asked.
"Of course, it's because of his ability and his potential. Daughters are not those women who want to marry those sons and daughters of those families and want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have the same family affairs as Liu Cong, he doesn't have the inheritance right that Liu Cong has the possibility of inheriting Jingzhou, it doesn't matter, as long as he has the ability, as long as he can fight. Sooner or later, you will be able to earn a bigger family business than Liu Biao left to Liu Cong. Cai Da looked at Cai Mao strangely.
At this point, Liu Feng had Cai Yu and then Cai Da. There is no reason why he should not help Liu Feng, if he has the help of the Cai family, it is equivalent to having the help of the Kuai family, and he has a huge force and resources all over Jingzhou. Liu Feng can't make the climate.
Cai Mao thought about Cai Da's words and felt that it was very reasonable.
Wait, isn't that the Cai family and the Kuai family abandoning Liu Biao and choosing Liu Feng as the lord of Jingzhou? No, it's too risky. And if Liu Feng became the master of Jing Chu, he would be embarrassed to deceive Liu Feng with the Kuai clan again.
When the time comes, the two families will become bigger, and Liu Feng will be a person who is both ambitious and capable, and conflicts are inevitable. That's not good. And Cai Mao is more optimistic about Cao Ying.
He had a plan with the Kuai clan for a long time, if Cao Ying unified the north and went south, he was ready to give Jing Chu to Cao Ying in exchange for the peace of the clan.
According to his thoughts, no matter how strong Liu Feng's ability is, it is impossible to defeat Cao Ying, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under Cao Ying's account.
Cai Da is good at observation, and she is Cai Mao's daughter, and she has been together for a long time. From the change in Cai Mao's face, Cai Mao's worry was immediately detected.
couldn't help but say: "If my father is worried that Cao Ying will sit big and dominate the world." The daughter has no reason to marry Liu Cong, Liu Biao sits in Jingzhou, but he is a prince. If Cao Ying goes south, Liu Biao will not end well whether he fights or makes peace. Of course, Liu Cong also has nothing. At most, he was named a noble prince. But Liu Feng is different, even if he is a prince, he is only Jiangxia Taishou, if Cao Ying goes south to pacify Jingzhou, Liu Feng should be able to continue to be an official. ”
In fact, Cai Da only said half of it, if she was so careful, there would be no difference between her marrying Liu Cong and Liu Feng. But she fancy Liu Feng's ability, Jiangxia relies on Jiangdong, Jiangdong is very stable, and the Sun family is already in the third generation. It doesn't have to be a chance. Even if Cao Ying is powerful and has no chance, she can be Liu Feng's wife, and she can persuade Liu Feng to help Cao Ying be the vanguard and attack Jiangdong. Make a great contribution. You can be a hero and be a marquis. Just like Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yan.
Anyway, Liu Feng is a gold that will shine sooner or later in Cai Da's eyes. To have the ability and ability, to have the opportunity and the opportunity. He is a man that all women with vision look up to.
As a woman, Cai Da has already begun to calculate the potential of men and has set up a strategic plan that will swing left and right. Advance can be divided into one side, retreat can fight Jiangdong, make meritorious deeds, and list meritorious heroes.
I have to say that Cai Da has a good eye. The mind is also meticulous.
saw that her daughter not only took a fancy to Liu Feng, but also considered the future for Liu Feng. Cai Mao opened her mouth, a little short of words.
"It depends on whether he looks at you or not, right?" Cai Mao finally spread her hands helplessly.
"This." Cai Da really didn't think about this problem, there were too many sons and brothers who rushed to marry the Cai family in the past, which caused Cai Da to have some blind spots in this regard.
opened her mouth, Cai Da was really a little unconfident. Because Liu Feng seems to be interested in talents, such as Ma Liangbi, she is interested.
"Think long, think long." Cai Mao saw that she had finally persuaded her daughter, and her heart was relieved and she smiled.
Unexpectedly, Cai Da seemed to be more determined, she looked at her father and said, "How can such a man meet an opportunity, how can he think about it in the long run?" ”
Looking at her daughter, Cai Mao was deflated. Utter excuses are exhausted.
At this moment, someone came to report: "Master, Mr. Xenodu is visiting." ”
"Did he say anything?" Cai Mao frowned and asked, the relationship between the Cai family and the Kuai clan is delicate, and Kuai Yue, who is at the helm of the Kuai clan, will have a great impact if Liu Biao knows.
Therefore, every time Kuai Yue went to Cai's mansion, he took advantage of the night and entered through the small door unobtrusively. And there will be important things to discuss.
"Mr. Xenomorph entered through the main entrance." The servant replied.
"What?" Cai Mao stood up in surprise, a little annoyed in her heart, how could she make such a low-level mistake.
"Oh, I forgot to tell my father. Today, Liu Feng frightened Uncle Kuai's nephew Liu Dong, and the situation seemed to be more serious at that time. And many people were present, and the news should have spread all over Xiangyang. Uncle Kuai's visit from the main entrance will also be considered by others to settle accounts, and there will be no risk. Cai Da said apologetically to Cai Mao.
Liu Feng was discussing just now, and she forgot about it.
Saying that, Cai Da explained the situation in detail today, and especially mentioned Ma Liang.
"Ma's Five Constants?" Cai Mao's expression was a little strange, to say why there are so many talents in Jingzhou who are not reused, in fact, there is Cai Mao behind it, Kuai Yue's seven points of credit.
If you want to sit big, you have to share the spoils, and the huge Cai family is not because of its own ability, but because there are many clans who have taken refuge, and the union has the status it is today.
So the spoils are a must. The officials of all sizes in Jingzhou are all controlled by the scholars. If the poor family wants to get ahead, they must also take refuge in the Cai family, or the Kuai family.
The reputation of the Ma Five Constants is not small, and if they are placed in other states and counties, they will always be recruited as officials. But in Jingzhou, Ma Liang has to find his own way. Slowly get acquainted with the world.
Since Liu Feng is in love with Ma Liang, Cai Mao reminded him of the lack of civil officials and ministers under Liu Feng's account. Taking it a step further, I thought of some people.
Liu Feng is a disciple of Xu Shu, and Xu Shu is a good friend of Sima Hui and others.
Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and his brother-in-law Huang Chengyan and others are representatives of another force in Jingzhou, they have no power, but they are very famous, and the people who make up them are all junjie, real talents.
Among them, Wolong Zhuge Liang, Feng Xiao Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Cui Ding, Liu Ba and Jiang Wan, who has a teacher-student friendship with Huang Chengyan, etc., these people have no real power, but they are very famous.
Among them, Pang Tong is the most famous, known as the crown of Nanzhou scholars, and has a wide range of friends. The popularity is very good.
A few days ago, there was news that Pang Tong was going to Jiangdong to play. If Liu Feng went deep into Xiangyang for Pang Tong, and did not hesitate to stay for a long time, he also said the past.
can break the corporal, and can also go deep into dangerous places to seek talents. I really underestimated him.
Cai Mao's evaluation of Liu Feng has changed a little, but it has changed subtly.
In particular, if Liu Feng follows the path designed by his daughter Cai Da, he will be able to list the heroes and be named the Marquis at worst. For Cai, it is not necessarily a help.
Cai Mao and the Kuai clan united, bullying the upper and lower levels. I know that whether it is a clan or an individual, if you want to survive, you must have more friends.
"You go to find out Liu Feng's tone first, and write another letter to your father, if she is willing, I will suffer a little bit and marry you to him." Cai Mao thought for a moment and said.
Cai Da was overjoyed, but then wondered, "Who is the letter?" ”
"Don't say." Cai Mao replied, thinking helplessly, of course it was your aunt. If Cai Yu does not agree, Cai Mao will not marry his daughter to Liu Feng if he kills him.
