Chapter 377 The choice of the Cao family
(This chapter is to give additional updates to the deacon "0 Bonabis and 0", and only with the strong support of book friends, the author will be more passionate when creating!!)
Afterwards, two major events happened to the people in Shangqing's mansion.
The first is that Lan'er, who was originally a maid next to the old lady, was transferred to the young master.
This is definitely enviable to the servants in the mansion, especially for those newly-entered maids, it is tantamount to the top of the sky.
The second is that after the Shangqing Mansion... after quick preparation, he sent a betrothal gift to the Cao family, a very abrupt betrothal gift.
This made a ripple appear in Wu'an City.
Although the Cao family is not a prominent family in Wu'an City, it is worthy of attention when he received a recruitment from Wei Wuji.
The most disappointing thing was Gao Yang who had already let go. He gave up on Miss Cao and was put in Taozi by Wei Wuji.
Originally, when he heard that Wei Wuji was exiled to Lingbei was not allowed to come back, he was very happy. Who knew that this would be the result.
This secondary injury is even more heartbreaking.
Similarly, the Cao family, who was suddenly hired, was in a very embarrassing position at this time. Should they agree or not?
Besides, there is no such thing at all. I was directly hired without any news in advance, and this is not playing according to the routine.
For the elders of the Cao family, this is really a tangled matter. Of course, they did not want to agree according to their original intention. After all, Wei Wuji's reputation is "stinky" on the streets.
However, after all, they are from the Wei family, so they can't refuse openly... What's more, the other party is Wei Wuji's "slut".
Cao Yun, the Grand Secretary of the Wei State, is the person with the highest rank in the Cao family. He is also Cao Xin's grandfather. He is now the title of the best.
In places like Wu'an, the Cao family can only be considered an ordinary family. Now that Wei Wuji is involved, they are a little unable to play.
"Father, we cannot agree to this matter, otherwise we will become a public enemy of the clan..."
Speaking of this, Cao Xin's father Cao Rui continued: "It is not easy for me to build a family in Cao's family, so I must not get involved in these struggles."
The Cao family suffered a great disaster before, and it is very difficult to maintain this title now. If they are involved in the storm of Wei Wuji, they will probably have fun.
In this era, titles are everything, wealth, status and power. Otherwise, why these aristocratic races opposed reforms, they were not willing to let more people share the cake.
If the Cao family can be reorganized, there will be no loss for everyone.
So the Cao family is only afraid of both sides now. At this time, they are like they have become the focus of the struggle between the two sides, and they are likely to be torn to pieces.
"This... I don't know about it as a father!" Cao Yun sighed. It was because he understood a lot that he knew how difficult this matter was.
He also understood why his son was eager to object, and he didn't care about the magistrate of the real county magistrate that the Gao family agreed to...
"If we refuse directly, we are undoubtedly slapping the office in the face. Even if we follow the will of the aristocratic clans, we offend the office!" Cao Yun sighed. Even if the Marquis of Wei doesn't do anything on the surface, he may feel dissatisfied.
In the eyes of Wei Hou, no matter what other interests are involved outside, if your Cao family refuses, it is because you are not qualified to refuse.
This can be seen from the fact that Zongzheng Mansion can force arranging aristocratic women and enter the office to be wives and concubines. The office is asking for his subordinates in this regard. And the worst thing is that even if you refuse this time, with the gentleman's temper, you may immediately make the Cao family uneasy.
"So, even if we listen to the aristocratic clans, your county magistrate will not be able to take the responsibility!" Cao Yun shook his head and said, undoubtedly very disappointed that his son had not even seen through this.
Now he is in his fifties and can't work in this position for a few years. At that time, who should lead the Cao family? His son and grandson may not be able to take on this great task.
Since the future is dark, then... it's better to try it. Cao Yun has never gambled in his life, so he will play big games today.
"You go down and prepare immediately and immediately return the gift to the princess's mansion, and say we agreed to their proposal, and at the same time, we are asking them when they will come to welcome the bride..." Cao Yun said solemnly. This decision was also made by his thoughts.
But Cao Rui didn't understand. This was completely killing the family... You should know that the Cao family is not just the only ones, but also a lot of side-sects.
This decision involves the future of a large group of people, so Cao Rui wanted to think twice about his father, so he beat around the bush: "Father, please ask Xin'er what he meant at this time!"
No matter what, Cao Rui will find a way to make his daughter disagree!
Cao Yun immediately slapped the table and said, "I'm confused... I'm not going to do it as my father's wishes!"
Cao Rui had no choice but to turn around and retreat.
This will put all your life and life on you, Mr. Cao Yun said in his heart.
His bet was undoubtedly huge. If Wei Wuji... had a one-ten thousand chance to succeed as the king, then his Cao family would follow the fish to leaps over the dragon gate.
Of course, this opportunity really aroused slimness, very slimness, and in fact it was the same... But Cao Yun had somehow a trace of luck in his heart, and he didn't know how he made the judgment.
Others were very busy. Cao Xin, as the person involved, was sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in a daze at the bronze clerk.
All this was really too sudden. She had never expected that in just a few days, she received the betrothal gift from the man... the betrothal gift from him without proposing a marriage.
She could still remember clearly now that the man said as if he was teasing: Sister Xin'er, let's marry me!
Who knows that it has become a reality now, and she may really be going to marry that person.
But she was still worried at this moment because he knew that his father and grandfather might be reluctant to agree to accept the marriage with Wei Wuji.
"Miss...Miss..." At this moment, the voice of a maid suddenly came from outside.
Cao Xin woke up from deep thoughts and asked the maid who came in, "Hui'er, what's the matter?"
The maid Huier gasped and said, "Miss, the head of the family has agreed to marry you to Mr. Wuji!"
Somehow, Cao Xin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and now he felt relieved.
That's right, she asked herself in her heart, knowing that she likes Wei Wuji, so she was happy with the result.
And she also knew that among her younger sisters, there were many people who like Wei Wuji. After all, no one would dislike such heroic characters.
It was just because of the family will that they could not make choices about themselves. This led to the fact that they had only heard of Wei Wuji's reputation, but when Wei Wuji was right in front of them, they did not recognize him.
Therefore, Cao Xin still felt a little bit of gratitude... because the family's decision did not conflict with her will, which is commendable.
Although she also knew in her heart that it might be very hard to follow Wei Wuji, he was willing to suffer.
A girl may not know what love is, but her heart has already nurtured the power of love.
