Chapter 222: Double Marriage, Double Marriage in Progress
"It's impossible, whether it's the Cai family or the Huang family, they all want to be face-saving, not the Fei family, it doesn't matter if the reputation is stinky." Cai Yu smiled bitterly and looked at Liu Feng, who was extremely resolute.
If it is replaced by Fei's and can marry a daughter with Cai's, even if his daughter is young, Fei Guan will be upset. But neither the Cai nor the Huang family can do it.
They are the real high-level gates of Jingzhou.
In addition, Cai Yu still didn't understand a little in his heart, although Jiang Wan was more famous, but he wouldn't let Liu Feng lose his mind so much.
Of course, Cai Yu doesn't understand what kind of talent Jiang Wan is. One person is comparable to tens of thousands of soldiers.
"What's not to do, one is a wife, and the other is a flat wife? However, I can't talk about it. You have to go, Huang Chengyan is your brother-in-law, Cai Mao is your brother, you can talk on both sides. "It's true that Liu Feng is very greedy this time, but he hasn't lost his mind, he knows that if he goes out and tells Huang Chengyan, he wants to take your daughter as a wife. It will definitely cause Huang Chengyan to be furious.
This matter must rely on Cai Yu.
One is her brother-in-law and the other is her brother. One is her niece and the other is her niece. Liu Feng felt that he was a little shameless, but in the face of this great temptation, Liu Feng was willing to be shameless. He also believes that very few people will remain sane under such temptation.
"It's hard, it's hard." Cai Yu said with a wry smile on his face.
"Try it." Liu Feng was very serious, looked at Cai Yu very earnestly, and spit out two words.
"Okay. I'll try, but don't give me any hope. In the end, his heart was towards Liu Feng, Cai Yu saw Liu Feng's unyielding look, sighed, and nodded lightly.
"Whew." Liu Feng let out a sigh of relief, although he also knew that there was little hope, but Cai Yu promised that there was hope, and if he didn't agree, there was no hope at all.
When his mood was relaxed, Liu Feng suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking, "By the way, you just said that you are dead?" Cai Mao has made a move over there? ”
"Speak politely, brother, he may be your father-in-law in the future." Cai Yu was thinking about how to persuade Huang Chengyan, who was not ashamed, Liu Feng's words interrupted her train of thought, and she couldn't help but glance at Liu Feng.
However, he immediately replied: "My brother has made a move, Liu Biao knows that I am "dead", and I am sending troops to attack the water thieves in Dongting Lake. ”
Liu Feng's heart moved, and his heart immediately came out of the entanglement, Dongting Lake was an important part of his establishment of a water army.
"Huang Chengyan is in the front yard, I'll leave it to you. I'm going to take care of something. Liu Feng nodded lightly to Cai Yu, and then got up and walked out of the house. It's in a hurry.
"Sometimes, men who do big things are more annoying." Cai Yu looked at Liu Feng, who took the marriage very seriously at the first moment, and after hearing the useful news, she immediately hurriedly threw the problem to her Liu Feng, and pursed her red lips dissatisfied.
It's just a pair of bright eyes, but full of smiles.
"Seeing that you have such a headache, I'll help you think about how to marry their two sisters." Cai Yu said softly, then frowned, thinking hard about what to do.
After Liu sealed Cai Yu's house, he immediately focused his mind on the water thieves in Dongting Lake.
There were two or three thousand people in that group of water thieves, and Liu Feng could be said to have coveted it for a long time. But with Liu Feng's current naval strength, even if Gan Ning is powerful, it is impossible to completely annihilate and encircle this group of water thieves on Dongting Lake.
Liu Feng can't do anything about the water thief.
Therefore, Liu Feng wants to take a big gun to sweep away the water thieves, and then collect the remaining water thieves. Of course, this big gun is Liu Biao.
At the beginning, when he met Cai Mao for the first time, Liu Feng offered a strategy to push Cai Yu's "death" to the water thieves in Dongting Lake, Liu Feng had this purpose.
Now that the opportunity has come, of course Liu Feng has to take advantage of it. And now Jiangxia has a small population, and what should be annexed must be annexed. There must be no mercy.
There is a fire in my heart that almost longs to grow.
Liu Feng quickly came to the vicinity of the study, and at this moment there were two soldiers guarding outside the study.
"You come in." Liu Feng shouted to the one on the right, and then walked in by himself.
"No." The soldier named by Liu Feng answered and walked in.
After entering the study, Liu Feng quickly sat down. And the soldier also stood respectfully in front of Liu Feng. Liu Feng ignored him, lowered his head, studied ink, opened a blank bamboo slip, picked up a pen, wrote a book, and completed it in one go.
The gist of this document is that Gan Ning sent Zhang Gu, who was more familiar with Dongting Lake, to lead his troops to Dongting Lake to observe, ready to receive the Dongting Lake water thieves who were disabled by Wen Ping.
to expand power.
After quickly writing this document, Liu Feng printed a seal letter on it, quickly handed it to the soldier, and said, "Immediately use the fastest war horse to hand this document to Gan Ning." ”
"No." The soldier respectfully took the paperwork and left.
After the soldier left, Liu Feng began to calculate. There were two or three thousand people in that gang of water thieves, and according to Liu Biao's surname, he should have given the order to wipe them all out.
However, Dongting Lake is very large, and water thieves are active in Dongting Lake all year round, so it is definitely not a problem for Wen Ping to exterminate the unclean ones, and it is definitely not a problem for a small 1,000 people to escape.
The water thief is proficient in water surnames, good at water warfare, and fierce in fighting, and is a good seedling of the water army. The only drawback may be that he is unruly, but with Gan Ning, this problem is not a problem, and with Gan Ning's ability, he will definitely be able to obey the water thief training.
If you can successfully accept this group of water thieves, it will be a small profit.
It is calculated that there are now 14,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, 5,000 Huang Zhong, a little more than 5,000 Gan Ning, 2,000 Pang Tong, Deng Ai, and Chen Da 1,000 each.
Plus this thousand water thieves. That's 15,000 troops. The population was 220,000 and the army was 15,000. It's almost fifteen to one, and it's not much different from the ferocity of ten to one.
Finally, the expansion of the army has also reached its limit. Liu Feng was delighted at the same time, but he also felt depressed. Population, population is a big problem, if you don't have enough population, you can't raise more troops.
Population, population. If there is enough population, one place in Jiangxia can feed 500,000 people. It's a pity that now with Chaisang, there are only 220,000.
"Next year's big drought, the target for Jingzhou is the city. So for Koto, is it the population? I don't know if Sun Quan, this kid, is reluctant to take it out? Liu Feng coveted it in his heart, but he also knew that this matter was somewhat unlikely.
After so many wars, there is no prince in the world who does not know the important surname of the population.
Liu Feng had completely forgotten about the marriage, and his whole mind was thinking about how to increase the population.
Cai Yu is similar, her mind is full of how to help Liu Feng realize her wishes. It's a pity that Huang Chengyan is not ashamed, although he behaves inappropriately, he is really stubborn.
Virtually invulnerable.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cai Yu didn't come up with any good way. With a wry smile, Cai Yu maliciously speculated about Liu Feng in his heart, "You must take it all back, is he lustful, or does he really care about that Jiang Wan." ”
However, Cai Yu is not lustful when he thinks about Liu Feng.
Otherwise, there would be only Huan'er, her, and Xiao Qiao in the family. That Xiao Qiao was only recently plundered by Liu Feng.
Liu Feng, who only has three concubines in the family, is already considered bland.
"Forget it, I don't want to do these boring things. Let's go meet Huang Chengyan first. In fact, it is not a loss for the old man to marry his daughter to Liu Feng, with his vicious eyes, he must have seen that Liu Feng will do something. Only then did he sell his daughter to Liu Feng. Ordinary people are not ashamed to look down on them. And he can see that Liu Feng will do something, at least he is a prince. The kind that divides one side. It is not a shame to marry Huang Yueying to Liu Feng as a flat wife. Cai Yu thought about it and made a decision in her heart.
It's just that when Cai Yu wanted to get up and go to the front yard, he stopped. Although there is nothing wrong with going to see Huang Chengyan, Jiang Wan has a problem.
Because Jiang Wan recognized her.
"Come, go and invite the distinguished guest of the Lord Taishou in the front yard here. Remember, please only the old man. Well, let's just say that Lord Taishou is invited. Cai Yu thought about it and whispered to the door.
"Yes." The maid answered softly, and then turned and went to the front yard.
Soon, the maid came back with an old man, who looked good, but his behavior was a little rude, and when he left, he kept turning his head and looking around. Looked at it magnificently.
Although it looks good, it gives people the feeling of a roe deer rat. It was Huang Chengyan.
Although Huang Chengyan looked around, he was becoming more and more puzzled in his heart, because this is the back house of the inner courtyard, and there should be female dependents living there, and Liu Feng wants to meet him, so he will not come here.
"Sir, please." In the end, the maid took Huang Chengyan to the outside of Cai Yu's house, and the door was open. The maid bent over and said to Huang Chengyan.
"Hmm." Huang Chengyan hummed in a low voice, and then walked in.
It's just that as soon as he entered, Huang Chengyan's face became unsightly, and there was a strong fragrance in the room, which was obviously a woman's room.
How did Liu Feng choose such a place? Huang Chengyan didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.
But when Huang Chengyan continued to walk inside, he saw Cai Yu with a smile on his face. As if seeing a ghost, Huang Chengyan trembled and lost his voice: "Why are you here." ”
The sound is full of incredulity. and the horror of seeing a ghost.
Cai Yu, the wife of Liu Biao, the lord of Jing Chu, actually lived here, in Liu Feng's backyard. This, this, this. Huang Chengyan felt that his brain was out of control in an instant.
Regarding Cai Yu's matter, Cai Mao and Liu Biao handled it very low-key. Only a few people know that Cai Yu died suddenly.
Maybe Huang Chengyan's wife doesn't know, and Huang Chengyan certainly doesn't know. In Huang Chengyan's heart, Cai Yu should still be in Xiangyang, being her wife of the general of Zhennan.
In a mansion, there is a person who should never appear, which is very exciting.
"Oh, don't you know? My brother lied to Liu Biao and said that I had been killed by the water thieves in Dongting Lake, and now there is no such person as Cai Yu in the world, and there is only Liu Feng's concubine. Cai Yu was a little surprised that Huang Chengyan came from Xiangyang, but he didn't know the news.
However, considering that Cai Mao did not tell Huang Chengyan in order to deal with it in a low-key manner, Cai Yu was relieved and had to explain.
"I said a long time ago, your girl's surname is too rebellious, now, now. I'm out of words. Huang Chengyan recovered after a long time, but when he said this, there was still fear on his face.
Liu Feng is actually with Cai Yu. What the hell is going on.
"Sit down, I'll explain this to you later." Cai Yu glanced at Huang Chengyan and said softly.
"Tell me, something." Huang Chengyan knelt in front of Cai Yu and asked. He hadn't realized what would happen if Cai Yu appeared here.
"Do you want to marry your daughter to Liu Feng, do you fancy Liu Feng's potential? Ability? Cai Yu thought about it for a moment and asked Huang Chengyan.
"Yes, Old Man Sima said, how is Liu Feng so good, I feel itchy in my heart, you know, Yueying, no one wants it. If my old man doesn't want to do anything, he has to give up his old face, take off Yueying's veil, and restore her identity as a beauty. At the beginning, I boasted that I would find a husband for my daughter who did not dislike ugly girls and had both ability and integrity. As soon as Huang Chengyan mentioned this matter, he felt bitter in his stomach. Road.
"Wait, you actually became Liu Feng's concubine, how could Cai Mao agree?" Suddenly, Huang Chengyan realized the seriousness of the problem and lost his voice.
"How can you disagree, you don't know, my brother speaks in front of me in a low voice. Whatever I say or do, he will agree. Moreover, he, like you, took a fancy to Liu Feng's potential and wanted to marry his daughter. Be a wife. Cai Yu showed this very lightly. It's just that when Cai Da was going to get married, she still cast a playful look at Huang Chengyan.
"What do you say? Are you here, Cai Mao still married her daughter? Is he crazy? Huang Chengyan said in surprise.
"Liu Feng has proved his ability to the world step by step, and his potential is unlimited. Although my brother is not as talented as you, he is much better than you in the art of combining vertical and horizontal. Cai Yu said very indifferently.
Besides, I'm already dead. The world will never know that two women from the Cai family entered Liu Feng's mansion. ”
"Forget it, this is your Cai family's family matter, and I can't take care of it." Huang Chengyan shook his head, although he was surprised, he didn't want to meddle in it.
"Wait, if Cai Da marries, what will Yueying do?" Huang Chengyan suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem again, and his brows furrowed deeply.
"That's why I'm looking for you. You see, how about one being a regular wife and the other being an equal wife? Seeing that the words were finally to the point, Cai Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and whispered softly, trying not to irritate Huang Chengyan.
"Okay." Huang Chengyan replied very cheerfully, opened his mouth, revealing the upper and lower rows of snow-white teeth, and said with a smile: "Our Yueying and Cai Da have a good relationship, and we shouldn't mind Cai Da coming over to be Liu Fengping's wife." ”
Looking at Huang Chengyan's smiling and playful eyes, Cai Yu felt that his head hurt, this matter was really not easy to do. Although Huang Chengyan is relatively slow to react, he is extremely dexterous when it comes to catching other people's words. Although the status of this wife and the equal wife is almost the same in theory, in practice, it is the difference between the big and small wives. If this makes Huang Yueying a wife, let Cai's face go there.
After a long time, Cai Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Otherwise, let's take a step back and complete this matter." ”
"What's the solution?" Huang Chengyan was surprised, there should be no way to solve this matter. The Huang family and the Cai family are both high-ranking and famous families. It's almost impossible to back down.
In other words, Liu Feng can only take one person. Two people are incompatible. But Cai Yu actually said that there was a way.
