Chapter 41: Don't bother two masters
The matter of Li Xiangjun has come to an end here. When Yang Wencong saw that Li and Ma Mingfeng had not mentioned Li Zhenli's affairs, he felt relieved. At least this family would not be in chaos.
Just when Yang Wencong felt that today's affairs were over, he suddenly saw Li saying, "Mr. Aunt, I heard that you are quite familiar with Mr. Cao from Xizhuang?"
When Yang Wencong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Cao was a soldier under his ancestors, so he was a family friend with his father. As for my generation, although my second-generation boss of the Cao family was a little different, his relationship was pretty good. It's a pity that Brother Cao died of illness later. I was familiar with Cao Lao Er, but my relationship was only average. After all, he practiced martial arts and I learned literature. The two sides were different in harmony, and they often didn't meet much. Of course, if it was in front of Mr. Cao, I would still be a bit weak. What? Could it be that my sister-in-law really wanted to include the eldest lady of the Cao family?"
"What's wrong with this?" Li said with a smile on his face: "The Cao family has asked for help many times before. I always refuse because the master is not at home and I cannot make decisions. In fact, it is mainly because I am afraid that Luan'er has never seen her and is not satisfied with her. But now that Luan'er is back, you can go and take a look first. If this girl doesn't catch her eyes, then there is nothing to say, but if this girl has a good appearance and character, we will naturally have to help them."
"Hmm? According to my mother, I haven't decided to marry that girl from the Cao family before?" Ma Mingfeng was still wondering before. Why did Bianqi immediately ask Yang Wencong to make a decision on this matter when she heard that she likes Xiangjun? It turned out that Cao Zhongheng's so-called engagement was simply a lie to him.
However, Li explained: "Of course not, otherwise why would Wei Niang still have to ask Xiangjun's affairs? But although it was not decided, both parties did have this intention. If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will definitely be done."
Ma Mingfeng knew that this matter had not been done, because in later history books or drama peach blossom fans, there was no one named Cao in Ma Shiying's relatives, and it had nothing to do with Cao Weicheng's father Cao Yuansu. Otherwise, with the Cao family's martial arts, they would definitely have gained a place in the Southern Ming regime.
With Li's explanation, Ma Mingfeng gradually understood that Cao Zhongheng had not told the truth yesterday. He did mention to Ma Shiying that he betrothed his niece to Ma Luan, but Ma Shiying said that the children were still too young, and it was not too late to mention this matter when they were old. Later, Ma Shiying passed the Jinshi, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther, and the matter was actually left alone.
Later, when he heard that Ma Shiying was dismissed from office for corruption, Cao Zhongheng decisively did not mention the marriage again. However, he later heard that there might be misunderstandings in this matter. Ma Shiying was just a victim of party struggles and began to care about it again. He couldn't contact Ma Shiying, so he asked someone to tell Li that Li had no objection to Cao Zhongheng's niece, but she shied away the matter by not being able to make decisions about this matter. On the surface, she said that everything was not considered formal agreement when Ma Shiying nodded, but in fact she wanted her son to make decisions by herself.
After hearing this, Ma Mingfeng was also deeply moved. A mother who could allow her son to make decisions on marriage was naturally very common in later society, but it was really rare in ancient society. It was indeed a blessing to meet such an enlightened mother.
At this time, I heard Li say, "Mr. Gu, I'll ask you for this matter. I hope you can protect this media. Anyway, the Cao family is also a martial arts family. There are not so many rules, and both families are interested in getting married. You can discuss with the Cao family and find a place with many people to cause encounters between the two parties. At that time, both parties don't have to say anything, just meet each other secretly. If both parties have the intention, then let's talk further. If the Cao family's girl looks down on us, then let's just let it go."
Yang Wencong said with a puzzled look: "Second sister-in-law, weren't you just doing Li Xiangjun's business? Why are you turning your target to the Cao family again? Does the second sister-in-law want Luan'er to enjoy the blessings of all people?"
Li smiled and said, "I'm just in case. If Li Xiangjun really loses his fortune, wouldn't Luan'er be in vain? Now that we have a marriage with the Cao family, even if my worries become a reality, isn't there any guarantee from the Cao family's lady? Of course, if Li Xiangjun has no objection, even if Luan'er is allowed to enjoy the blessings of all people, what's wrong?"
Ma Mingfeng was very dissatisfied with this. He had never met the lady of the Cao family and was about to talk about marriage. Although this was very common in ancient times, although the idea of meeting secretly by Li was rare at that time, it can be said that he tried his best to take care of Ma Mingfeng, but Ma Mingfeng was a little unacceptable.
As for the saying that the blessings of the clan are even more difficult for him to accept. After all, he grew up under the red flag and had long been accustomed to monogamy. Because his parents divorced early, he valued loyalty between the couple very much and never thought about any idea of polygamy.
However, when I thought of the painstaking efforts of my mother, I had no reason to refuse. So although I didn't want to have any interaction with other women, in order to take care of my mother's face, I could only take a formality and secretly meet up first.
Although this is not a formal blind date, it is also a form of blind date. No matter what, you only need to have an explanation.
At this time, Li said to Yang Wencong: "Mr., as the saying goes, don't bother the second master in one matter, please let you go for this matter."
Yang Wencong would not refuse this matter. He immediately said, "Since that's the case, I'll go and go for a trip. It's still early. I'll go to Xizhuang to ask for a meal with Mr. Cao. Luan'er, don't be confused. You must study hard at home. You have to know that the more women, the greater the responsibility. If you don't have the ability, even a wife may run away with others."
After saying that, Yang Wencong bowed to Li, raised a small donkey, and walked towards Cao's mansion.
