Chapter 137 Recruitment

After Fang Dao left, only Butler Cai was left in the study.

His eyes were very stable. He stood for so long, but there was almost no change.

"I wonder what kind of thoughts are there on Military Advisor Cai?" Liu Feng was very persistent in marrying twice, so when he asked, he was looking forward to it.

"The master has agreed, and I'll ask my son-in-law to give the betrothal gift earlier." When talking about this, the eyes of Butler Cai, who had always looked calm, finally had a little fluctuation.

Looking at Liu Feng with some complexity.

He is the old housekeeper of Cai. When he was young, he was a servant beside Cai Mao. He looked at Cai Mao's sister. Cai married Huang Chengyan, and then watched Cai Da and Huang Yueying grow up.

Now, these two young ladies he saw since childhood actually married the same person.

Butler Cai felt a little uncomfortable, so it was quite complicated.

Although Liu Feng saw the complexity in Butler Cai's eyes, he did not delve into it. He just nodded and said, "You go back and tell Military Advisor Cai that I will immediately order someone to prepare the betrothal gift."

"No." Butler Cai said after hearing this, bowed again, and walked out. He was just ordered to come and tell Liu Feng about Cai Mao's intentions. Now that it has been spread, it is time to go back and report.

Cai Da, Huang Yueying and Liu Feng's mind showed a beautiful face, and a face with fair skin even though they were masked.

These two people will be his wives in the future.

From Xinye, Liu Feng knew that he could never escape the marriage. But from the Fe family to the current Cai family and Huang family.

It’s already a world of difference. To be a man, one must be a hero. Of course, the wife you take must also be a high-ranking family.

Liu Feng had no ridiculous complaints about *** marriage.

If you don’t talk about so-called feelings, just about beauty, then Cai Da is also in a state of beauty.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng stood up calmly and stood up toward Cai Yu's room.

It was the meal time just now, but it was a little bit wrong now. However, when Liu Feng came to Cai Yu's house, Cai Yu still had no meal.

He was wearing green clothes, which highlighted Cai Yu's white complexion. He knelt in his position, supported his chin with one hand, and his eyes were bored.

This posture is very naughty.

From which perspective, they are all beautiful.

"I finally came, I was so hungry." It was boring, but when Liu Feng stepped in, Cai Yu muttered as if he had changed his body. After muttering, he immediately ordered the maid next to him: "Go to have a meal."

"Yes." The maid responded and walked out.

"There's no way, who made too much trouble?" Liu Feng said with a smile, and walked to the seat next to Cai Yu to sit down.

Cai Yu gave Liu Feng a blank look when he heard this. His charming look was very charming.

"By the way, Brother ***, that is, my future father-in-law, has heard from me. I asked me to give a betrothal gift. Do you think, how should I give this betrothal gift? Is it better to be rich or average?" Liu Feng couldn't help but feel a headache when he remembered the betrothal gift.

This kind of hiring should be decided by the elders. But now that the Gan family is far away in Xinye, Liu Feng has to decide by himself.

"It's like a normal job hunt. Cai's gold and silver will never be spent in his lifetime, and there is no need to be glorious." Cai Yu quickly made a choice for Liu Feng when he heard this.

Liu Feng thought it was reasonable for the first time. The Cai and Huang were not small clans like the Fei family that needed gold and silver to help increase the clan power.

They are truly great clans.

Liu Feng nodded and had a scheming in his heart.

After lunch in Cai Yu's house, Liu Feng returned to the study. After sitting down, he ordered the soldiers to find a minor official.

The minor official was named Jiao Xiang, a native of Jiangxia. It was discovered by Yi Ji himself and promoted him. Although he was only over twenty years old, he was smooth and calm.

Liu Feng planned to send this person to prepare the betrothal gift and escort the betrothal gift to Xiangyang.

Not long after, Jiao Xiang walked in. His face was calm, his eyes were sharp, and his steps were neither hurry nor slow.

"Greetings to the lord." After approaching Liu Feng, Jiao Xiang paid homage.

"Yeah." Liu Feng nodded, looked at Jiao Xiang, and said, "I want to appoint you to prepare the betrothal gift and escort it to Xiangyang."

"The lord is going to have a big wedding?" Jiao Xiang immediately noticed Liu Feng's intention and couldn't help but feel shocked. This is a big deal, both for Liu Feng himself and Jiang Xia.

It was a lifelong event for Liu Feng, and it also had unusual significance for Jiang Xia.

If you have a big marriage, you will have a legitimate son. If you have a legitimate son, you will have a queen. Although Liu Feng is still young and just over twenty years old, having a queen is a completely different concept from having a queen.

After that, it means that the power created by Liu Feng can continue, which is an extremely serious issue.

Jiao Xiang couldn't help but straighten his body and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder which family it is?"

Although he was asking, Jiao Xiang didn't think that the woman Liu Feng was going to marry was a high-ranking family. Who doesn't know about the big and small families in Xiangyang? Liu Feng and Liu Biao were just a peace of mind.

They are two forces in a stalemate. As a native of Xiangyang, those who can negotiate a marriage with Liu Feng should be ordinary gentry.

Despite this, Jiao Xiang is still honored for this mission.

"Xiangyang Cai family, Huang family." Liu Feng said these words calmly.

But in Jiao Xiang's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue. Cai family, Huang family, and all over the world, these two surnames are very ordinary, but in Xiangyang, there are only two families with the aristocratic family.

One is the Cai family, whose disciples and former officials are everywhere in Jingchu, and the real high-ranking clan.

The other is that it has a high prestige in Jingchu, especially among the gentry, enjoys a reputation. It is also a first-class family.

How could Jiao Xiang not be shocked when Liu Feng mentioned these two names at once?

Jiao Xiang immediately felt the seriousness of the matter and asked with his fist: "Dare you ask the lord, is it a legitimate branch or a side branch?"

A large clan with a long history has a legitimate branch and a side branch. It’s not that Jiao Xiang doesn’t believe that Liu Feng can marry the daughter of the legitimate sons of these two big clans, but that Liu Feng actually wants to hire the ladies of the legitimate branch of the two families.

Marrying? Oh my God.

"Of course it's the legitimate branch." Liu Feng didn't blame Jiao Xiang for his doubts. No matter who he told about this, the first idea must be to not believe it, and then he joked about Liu Feng's whimsical thoughts.

In contrast, Jiao Xiang was just suspicious and trusted Liu Feng's ability very much.

Listening to Liu Feng's clear spitting out his legitimate branch, Jiao Xiang's heart was shocked. But since the facts were already like this, Jiao Xiang's originally calm personality immediately gained the upper hand.

"I don't know what kind of betrothal gift my lord wants. When will we set off?" Jiao Xiang asked in a deep voice.

"The standard for marriage for ordinary gentry. After choosing the betrothal gift, you can set off." Liu Feng was prepared for this and couldn't help but say immediately.

"No." Jiao Xiang replied in a deep voice.

My heart was full of enthusiasm. Liu Feng was about to get married, which was exciting news. And the partner was the Jingchu clan.

And there are two marriages at a time, which is of great benefit to the increase of reputation and the increase of Jiangxia's power, and it is a first-class benefit.

With excitement, Jiao Xiang took Liu Feng's handwritten book and took a few followers to the treasury to select betrothal gifts.

In fact, betrothal gifts are very simple objects. Generally, aristocrats only need cloth to marry, and gold and silver. The only difference is that they have strong financial resources, and use better cloth and more gold and silver.

If you have poor financial resources, use second-class cloth and less gold and silver.

Because of Liu Feng's handwritten letter, the treasury went smoothly and the quantity was counted quickly. Jiao Xiang asked Jiang Wan to find a group of people and put the betrothal gifts into the carriage.

On the other side, he personally took the gift list and returned to Liu Feng's side to report his life.

It took less than half an hour to send Jiao Xiang back from Liu Feng to Jiao Xiang.

In the study, Liu Feng took the gift list and looked carefully, and found that it was indeed not rich or thin. It was just right.

I couldn't help but feel satisfied, and I became more and more sure of Jiao Xiang's ability. Now that I lack civil servants and can only rely on Jiang Wan to operate Jiangxia County, it was already very good to have Jiao Xiang go to the recruitment.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng put down the gift list in his hand, thought for a moment, took out a blank bamboo slip from the desk, picked up the pen and started writing.

In just a moment, I put away the pen and rolled up the bamboo slips and handed them to Jiao Xiang.

"Take my handbook to Xiakou. When I met Gan Ning, I used this handbook to prepare two large ships and send 300 soldiers to escort you to Xiangyang." Liu Feng explained in detail.

"No." After taking the handbook, Jiao Xiang responded, then turned around and left with the handbook.

After Jiao Xiang left, Liu Feng slowly stood up and left the study room, looking at the direction of Xiangyang, his mouth slightly raised, with some jokes.

I wonder what kind of shock will this news come to Xiangyang?

Liu Biao, what kind of thing is he so uneasy to sleep or eat?

Liu Feng didn't know, but he knew that Xiangyang would be uneasy from now on, and Liu Biao would be unable to sleep from now on.

Cai, Huang.

After Jiao Xiang left the prefect's mansion, he immediately led a large number of followers and escorted the betrothal gifts to Xiakou, and presented Liu Feng's handwritten letter at Xiakou, so he asked Gan Ning for two large ships and the three hundred soldiers to protect the queen.

On the big ship, he hung a handsome flag with the word "Liu" embroidered with the word "Liu", took the boat out of Xiakou, went upstream, and headed towards Xiangyang.

Five days later, the team led by Jiao Xiang, who had been interrogating several times along the way, finally docked at the Xiangyang Ferry.

Xiangyang is a big city with water and convenient waterways. There are countless merchant ships coming and going.

At this moment, a large number of merchant ships were moored at the ferry. However, there were not many warships. Therefore, the Jiao Xiang team with the character "Liu" flag was particularly eye-catching.

Especially when Jiao Xiang commanded his followers and guards to carry a load of burdens from these two large ships with shoulder poles and hang a red cloth betrothal gift, this attention suddenly increased a lot.

Using warships is nothing, but it is extremely rare for people to use betrothal gifts under warships.

Under such numerous gazes, Jiao Xiang's expression remained unchanged. He knew that no matter how simple the betrothal gift was, it was a matter of concern.

Cai, Huang.

A flash of splendor in his eyes, Jiao Xiang waved his hand and ordered: "Get off."
