Chapter 475: The eldest lady of the Qiao family
Cai Mao has been very troubled lately, really worried!
It's just that this trouble was not imposed on him by others, it was basically caused by him, so he was even more depressed!
The root of Cai Mao's depression is a rumor, yes, it is those rumors that seem to be frivolous and weightless! The tongue can sometimes kill!
The cause of the incident was Cai Mao's small, selfish idea, that is, the idea of marrying Liu Bei.
In fact, Cai Mao had already interviewed Liu Bei, of course, the theme was about the state of affairs in Jingzhou, but Cai Mao also hinted at the idea of getting married, and Liu Bei also clearly agreed at that time, only because he had completed the marriage with the Gan family, it was impossible to marry the Cai family's woman immediately, so he temporarily postponed this matter, and this matter has not yet been implemented, so it is naturally hidden from other Jingzhou families.
However, now this matter has spread in Xiangyang City, and even in the whole of Jingzhou, and the details of it have been passed on in a good way, and even better, the content in it seems to have been cleverly distorted.
It is rumored that Cai Mao betrayed the interests of the local family in Jingzhou in order to tie up with Liu Bei for the benefit of the family, and wanted to marry his own sister to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei had a problem, the reason is said to be that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei took a fancy to Cai Yan, who was as beautiful as a flower, so will these two brothers perform a good show between brothers, friends and brothers, or will they stage a bloody plot for beautiful brothers to fry each other?
It is rumored that there is a disagreement here, some people say that it is the former, and the relationship between the two brothers has gone further, like honey blending oil, and some people say that it is the latter, the two almost draw their swords against each other, although they are not turning their faces openly, but they are already in harmony with each other!
In fact, no one knows the answer to this question, but there are more and more people guessing the ending. So much so that it has spread from the Inhumans to the ears of the aborigines, and is spreading rapidly at the speed of light, Cai Mao and Liu Bei's trouble is coming!
Let's not talk about whether this rumor is true or not? I don't understand why people are so eager to believe that all this is true. As soon as this rumor reached Cai Mao's ears, he understood that his trouble was coming!
Cai Mao didn't know what Liu Bei thought, and he was not interested in paying attention to whether Zhang Fei and Liu Bei would make beauty or win beauty, because this was no longer important to Cai Mao.
Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang brothers and Pang Ji were waiting for them in the reception room, and they could guess what they wanted to ask. The question is whether they will believe their own answers, once the seeds of distrust are planted. One day it will grow into a towering tree, Cai Mao is convinced that his judgment and the relationship with the Kuai family, the Pang family and other Jingzhou clans need to be reconsidered.
and Liu Bei's side, since this rumor has come out, it is unlikely to promote this marriage again, which will give the Jingzhou family a sense of betrayal that the Cai family can't wait to join Liu Bei; Second, it also greatly lost the face of the Cai family. In this case, the woman of the Cai family is not a cabbage, how can it be used by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei as a performance prop, and by the majority of aliens and aborigines, as a joke after tea and dinner!
Also, there is the girl in the family, she is not a well-behaved lady, but a smart and assertive girl, and even surpasses Cai Mao in wisdom and strategy. Such a smart and self-respecting girl, if she knew her plan and had already implemented it without consulting her, she would have ended up in the embarrassing situation she is in now
In a word, Cai Mao's trouble is big...... In Cai Mao's reception room, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Pang Ji were sitting a little bored, and everyone seemed to have something on their minds. But no one spoke, but each tasted the fragrant tea in the teacup, and looked at the garden outside the curtain with wandering eyes. The winter in Xiangyang is far less bleak than in the Central Plains, and the courtyard is still green. It's just that it's a little cold.
"Zirou, do you think this is true or false?"
Pang Ji finally couldn't help it, and took the initiative to ask, the key is that he has always doubted in his heart, why Cai Mao had to meet Liu Bei in person, and then decided to cooperate with Liu Bei preliminarily, and now with this rumor, Pang Ji can perfectly explain Cai Mao's behavior, so he is inclined to believe it.
And the scandal of Zhang Fei and Liu Bei's competition for beauty was obviously someone who didn't want Cai Mao and Liu Bei to merge, perhaps, it was the handiwork of the two brothers opposite?
"It must be true1 Kuai Yue interjected, the tea cup in his hand was heavily placed in the tray in front of him, the tea shook violently, splashing everywhere, and even Kuai Yue's robe was wet.
Pang Ji's eyes flashed, and he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Kuai Liang glanced at the two of them, slowly stroked his beard and said, "You have no evidence, don't jump to conclusions, not only harm others, but also harm yourself1."
"This me" Kuai Yue tried to refute but couldn't find the right words, to be honest, these rumors, where can I find any evidence, but rumors are never groundless, they must be relied on, and Cai Mao's thoughts, in fact, are really not difficult to see, but, why do you have to hide this from everyone? That's where it comes in!
Kuai Yue's unhappiness and suspicion are also issued because of this, as for the marriage between the Cai family and Liu Bei, some things are not what can be done by marriage, the ultimate key is to look at the comparison of strength, therefore, Kuai Yue will not pay much attention to whether to marry, but is more concerned about Cai Mao's attitude, if Cai Mao completely falls to Liu Bei, the original camp in Jingzhou is likely to be disintegrated, thus giving Liu Bei a chance to break through, and finally completely dominated everything by Liu Bei, which is not a good thing.
"And now is not the time to discern between the truth and the falsehood, but more importantly, the question of how we should respond1
Pang Ji was shocked! yes, is there any point in finding out the truth of the matter now? The key is how to do it!
"What are you going to do with that?"
"Me? I'm just here to listen to what De Jue said, in the end, now Jingzhou, oh, it should be Xiangyang that De Jue is in charge, we just need to attach its tail. ”
Pang Ji lowered his head and wrinkled his brows to think about Kuai Liang's words. Kuai Yue moved his lips, but finally did not speak.
"I've been waiting for a long time, it's rude and rude1
Cai Mao apologized and walked in with a spring breeze, as if the troubles that caused him a headache just now had been solved, of course, Cai Mao's troubles are only known to Cai Mao herself...... The back house of the Cai family is very large. Big enough to walk for a day!
Cai Yan's residence is very elegant, which fully reflects what is called low-key gorgeousness. The colors in the boudoir are a little brighter, and the string of extremely delicate and cumbersome silver wind chimes on the window lattice shows the delicate heart of the hostess.
A beautiful girl is sitting in front of the desk, the light reflected in the window shines on her white face from the side, the skin looks crystal clear, and the brush pinched by her delicate fingers is writing something quickly on the thin silk. I saw her frowning from time to time, thinking with her pink cheeks; Sometimes he shows a smug and mischievous smile, as if he is thinking of something proud; From time to time, he gritted his teeth and muttered a few words in a low voice, like a coquettish child, and the style of a child looks pleasing to the eye and even intoxicated!
"Miss, this is the paperwork you want, as well as pills, broken silver, copper coins, daggers, oh, and ordinary Mai."
The girl who was writing raised her head and looked excitedly at what the maid had laid on the ground. While looking at it curiously, he reached out and picked it up and played with it.
"Winter Solstice, no one saw these things when you got them, right?"
The little Lori who looked a little natural shook her hand vigorously, and shook her head, the two movements were coordinated together, how awkward it looked, but she could do it, and it was very natural.
"Nope. No, definitely not! I got it all quietly, and I went to the Inhuman Market to buy some things. ”
"Good. On the winter solstice, I really didn't misread you1
"Hee-hee, thank you Miss for the compliment! This young lady. We're really going to run away from home! Outside I heard that there are wars everywhere outside, and it's chaotic1
"It's because of the war! You see, you must have heard the heroic stories of those famous heroes in the market, as well as all kinds of anecdotes that circulated among the strangers, didn't you never think to go and see these legendary characters and things? I'd love to see it. ”
The little girl was fooled by the girl and couldn't find the north, but soon her needle-like courage brought her back to her senses.
"But Miss, it's really dangerous, it's going to die, haven't you heard, after a battle, corpses are everywhere, whether it's a soldier or a civilian, whether it's an old man or a child, Miss, don't go 1
The little girl Dong Solstice had a terrified expression on her face, as if she had seen those terrifying pictures with her own eyes, in fact, Dong Solstice had grown up in Cai's family since she was sensible, not to mention the terrifying pictures in her mouth, even the little girl in Xiangyang City had not gone out a few times.
"No! Be sure to go 1
The girl waved her fist and said very firmly, the expression on her face was very serious, and it was completely unquestionable.
"Could it be that Miss still wants to go and see what Liu and Zhang...... Cut, what dare you not say, what Liu is Zhang, Liu Bei Zhang Fei! That's right, I just want to see who these two idiots are? Look at why they are talking about me Cai Yan, and why my dear brother dares to sell me like this, even if I have to do something for the family, then you have to ask my opinion first! Also, is Liu Bei really so worthy of his brother's refuge? How can I know if I don't go and see? So, winter solstice, I'm not joking, but I really have something to do1
"Miss...... Besides, I'm really unwilling, unwilling to marry like this, fortunately someone made my brother bad this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been married off like this, which also reminds me that before I am married, I have to be myself again, in front of my surname Cai Yan, I haven't been crowned with someone else's surname 1
Cai Yan's silver teeth were secretly bitten, and she clenched her little fists hard, and the grievances and unwillingness in her heart turned into strong sourness at this time, rushing straight to her nose, choking her tears!
"Miss 1
"Winter Solstice, will you help me?"
"Hmm1
Dong Solstice nodded vigorously, with tears and a somewhat stupid smirk on his face! To be continued! ~!
