Soldiers come to the world

Liu Cong's face turned pale. Could it be that his mother is going to repent?He kowtowed three more times, and said in a trembling voice: "But my mother promised to give me Shaoyu, I can only rely on my mother, I beg my mother to make decisions for me."

Mrs. Cai cursed in her heart, this useless thing depends on her for everything, wouldn't she think of a way to get it?

Mrs. Cai knows Liu Cong very well. Like her elder brother Liu Qi, he is a cowardly person at heart, and he is very dependent, but this matter must be done by him. She can only plan behind the scenes. courage aroused.

Man!For the sake of women, they will often do anything at all.

Mrs. Cai said calmly: "Cong'er, I know you liked Shaoyu since childhood, and Shaoyu liked you too. I can see all of this. In fact, I also hope that lovers will get married eventually, but you have to understand something , The marriage between Liu and Cai is not just a relationship, it has a deeper meaning, so your father attaches great importance to it. Since he chose Jing'er, he must have thought carefully. It is difficult for me to change your father's mind. I am really sorry! "

Mrs. Cai actually said the word 'sorry', which made Liu Cong desperate. His tears welled up, and he knelt on the floor trembling all over. The tears fell drop by drop, and he felt that he was going to die.

Mrs. Cai looked at him coldly. She was so hopeless that she actually cried for a woman. A man should take her back.

Seeing that the time is ripe, Mrs. Cai said softly, "Cong'er, things haven't reached the worst point yet. In fact, it's not like you're hopeless."

Liu Zong raised his head abruptly, his eyes sparkled with brilliance, a light of renewed vitality, his voice trembled with excitement, "Mother told me, what hope is there?"

"There is hope, but it requires your courage and determination. Are you willing to pay?"

Liu Cong nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "For Shaoyu, I am willing to go through fire and water."

"it is good!"

Mrs. Cai said slowly: "Although I am a girl, I also understand the truth that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles. I asked your father, but he hasn't told Jing'er about Liu Cai's marriage. Did you tell him about it?"

Liu Cong shook his head hastily, "My boy never said anything, and I also feel that he doesn't seem to know the meaning of that sword."

"What about your elder brother?"

Madam Cai asked again, "Did he say anything?"

Liu Cong thought about it for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't think he will say anything, and he's not in the mansion these days, so he went to Pang's house to make up his homework."

Mrs. Cai narrowed her eyes and smiled, and said to Liu Cong in a low voice: "During this period, your father is busy with official duties, so he entrusted this matter to me. If you want to find a way to get the Xuanlin Sword, I will pretend to misunderstand it." , go directly to the Cai family to ask for marriage for you, so even if your father is angry, he has no choice but to make mistakes."

"But...can't get it?" Liu Cong asked worriedly.

"Useless things, you can't even get a sword, do you still want to marry Shaoyu? You said you would go through fire and water, but I didn't force you."

Liu Cong finally made up his mind that as long as he could marry Shaoyu, he would rather be punished by his father.

Cai Mao was indeed a little slower than Kuai Yue. It was not until Liu Biao placed Liu Bei's army in the East Barracks that Cai Mao realized that Liu Biao didn't trust Liu Bei and was wary of him, which made Cai Mao feel sad.

For more than a month, Cai Mao followed Liu Biao to Jingnan to fight against Jiaozhou Shepherd Zhangjin. He only returned to Xiangyang yesterday, and Liu Biao allowed him to rest at home for three days.

But even though he is resting at home, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the official room. Cai Mao's position is a military adviser, and his duties are mainly responsible for handling military affairs, ranging from army mobilization and deployment of troops to combat, as small as military supplies and food. Build warships, recruit soldiers, and more.

According to the procedure, some affairs must be approved by him first, and then transferred to Liu Biao for final decision. If he rests, many things will be delayed, so he simply took all the official affairs home to deal with.

At noon, Cai Mao was busy reviewing papers in his study. During the Three Kingdoms period, hemp paper had been widely used in official documents, and Xiangyang was no exception. There was also a government-run papermaking workshop in Xiangyang, which provided a large amount of paper to the government every year.

At this time, an urgent military report sent by Huang Zu in Jiangxia County caught Cai Mao's attention. Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, who were stationed in Yangxin County, were suspected of colluding with Jiangdong, which made Cai Mao break out in a cold sweat.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun had more than [-] troops under their command and were natives of Jingzhou. If they really colluded with Jiangdong, the consequences would be disastrous. He must immediately report this matter to Liu Biao.

Cai Mao got up and was about to go to the state government office, but his wife, Pang Shi, appeared at the door, "My lord, my younger sister is here, and she has something important to see you for."

Cai Mao has one elder sister and one younger sister. The elder sister married Huang Chengyan of the Huang family and gave birth to a daughter, Huang Yueying, who is 15 years old this year. The younger sister is Mrs. Cai who married Liu Biao.

Hearing that Mrs. Cai was coming, Cai Mao temporarily gave up looking for Liu Biao, and went to the back house first. Mrs. Cai had been lying in her room for more than a month, and wanted to go out for a walk, so she first came to her natal home.

In the conservatory, Mrs. Cai was chatting with her niece Cai Shaoyu, and the topic naturally couldn't be separated from her marriage.

"Auntie, I've seen that Liu Jing."

Mrs. Cai immediately asked earnestly, "How did you see him? Did he come to look for you?"

Mrs. Cai was very worried that Liu Jing would know about the marriage, and she was even more afraid that if he offered to marry the daughter of the Cai family, things would be troublesome if he had a husband to back him up.

Cai Shaoyu shook her head and said resentfully: "It was the last time, about a month ago, I came to visit my aunt and met him in the east courtyard. He looks so rude. Auntie, I don't want to marry him even if I die."

Mrs. Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to marry him, of course my aunt won't make you sad. Don't worry! With my aunt here, I promise to let you marry the lover you like, but who is this lover? It's brother What, or brother?"

Cai Shaoyu's face was flushed, she turned her back, and said coyly, "My aunt is here to bully me again. How can I have a lover who I like? No, aunt, don't guess."

"I see, you must like Brother Qi."

"No, I... I don't like anyone."

At this moment, a maid in the yard reported: "Master and Madam are here!"

When Cai Shaoyu heard that her father was coming, she was so frightened that she ran away in a panic from the back door. After a while, Cai Mao's voice came from outside the curtain, "Little sister, can brother Yu come in?"

"come in!"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Cai Mao and his wife Pang Shi walked into the room. Seeing his sister's ruddy complexion, Cai Mao smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the nurses are well taken care of, and they have fully recovered."

"Brother made a joke, sit down! Sister-in-law also sit down."

Although Mrs. Cai is Cai Mao's younger sister, she is the mistress of Jingzhou after all, with a noble status. Cai Mao can't put on airs like a brother in front of her, and even has a little bit of respect from her.

Cai Mao's wife, Pang Shi, left the room on the pretext of making tea for them. Only their brother and sister were left in the room.

Only then did Mrs. Cai slowly say: "I came here today for the marriage between the Liu and Cai families. Last night, Jing Sheng entrusted this matter to me. He meant to let his nephew Liu Jing marry Shaoyu. I want to ask my brother's attitude first."

After she finished speaking, she looked into Cai Mao's eyes, she had a plan in her heart, this matter must go according to her way of thinking, even if her brother agreed, she would never allow Liu Jing, who killed her own child, to marry the daughter of Cai's family.

Cai Mao sighed and said: "The marriage between Cai and Liu is related to the future and destiny of the Cai family, and even the future of Jing Xiang. Frankly speaking, if Jing Sheng must use his nephew to marry the Cai family, then this marriage will be meaningless. I can only refuse."

"But if you reject Jing Sheng, then the marriage between Liu and Cai will be impossible. Maybe it will become Liu Kuai's marriage, Liu Pang's marriage, or even Liu Huang's marriage, but there is no Liu Cai. Have you considered this consequence?"

Mrs. Cai was implicitly reminding her brother not to offend Liu Biao, it would definitely not do to refuse, and she had to follow her way of thinking.

"This..." Cai Mao was at a loss for words for a moment, his sister's words pierced his heart like a knife, which made him immediately discouraged.

After a while, he sighed and said, "I don't understand why Jing Sheng used his nephew to marry the Cai family?"

"Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending not to understand?" Mrs. Cai sneered.

Cai Mao shook his head, "I really don't understand."

"Well, let me tell you, if Jing Sheng's wife is not me, but the surname is Kuai or Pang, then he will definitely let the eldest son marry the daughter of the Cai family. Now that he is married to Cai's wife, how can he marry Cai's daughter-in-law? do you understand?"

In fact, Cai Hao also knew that the reason why Liu Biao refused to let his son marry the daughter of the Cai family was because he was worried that the Cai family would become a big family, which would not be conducive to the balance of interests among the major forces in Jingxiang, but this sentence should be said from the mouth of Liu Biao's sister who knows Liu Biao better. , he can give up.

Cai Mao was extremely frustrated, he couldn't offend Liu Biao, but he didn't want to marry his daughter to Liu Biao's nephew, what should he do?

Mrs. Cai glanced at her brother, seeing his perplexed face, she thought to herself, "It seems that we can put forward conditions." '

"If I can persuade Jing Sheng to agree with my son to marry Shaoyu, then I hope that the second son, Cong'er, will marry Shaoyu. Will eldest brother agree?"

Mrs. Cai knew that her elder brother actually wanted to marry his daughter Shaoyu to his eldest son Liu Qi. After all, the eldest son was established first, so Shaoyu would be the mistress of Jingzhou in the future.

But Mrs. Cai doesn't like Liu Qi, she likes Liu Cong more, and she has always wanted to make Liu Cong the Lord of Jingzhou.

But it is difficult to do it with her strength alone. If the Cai family is willing to support her in changing Liu Cong as the first wife, then she will be more confident.

Therefore, Mrs. Cai first persuaded Cai Mao to change her mind and supported the marriage between the Cai family and Liu Cong.

Once the marriage is established, the Cai family has no choice but to support Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou.

This is Mrs. Cai's wishful thinking. Her real goal is to establish Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou, and marriage is just a means. She wants to use this marriage crisis to force the Cai family to agree to marry Shaoyu to Liu Cong.

Cai Mao didn't answer Mrs. Cai's words. After all, Cai Mao is a military advisor in Jingzhou and has his own knowledge. He doesn't like Liu Cong. That child is mean and selfish, far less generous than Liu Qi, and far behind Liu Qi in knowledge. Lord, I'm afraid it will destroy Jingzhou's foundation.

Mrs. Cai understood her brother's thoughts, and smiled lightly, "Establishing a foolish person as the master of Jingzhou, wouldn't Jingzhou become the Cai family's Jingzhou?"
