Seven hundred and three in order to serve
After hearing Guo Peng's words, Cai Yong was immediately happy, and then held Guo Peng's hand with both hands.
"really?"
"Heaven and earth can be seen, take it seriously."
Cai Yong was overjoyed.
"It is the greatest blessing for me, the old man, to be able to support Zifeng in this life! Zifeng, Cai, has entrusted it to Zifeng!"
Guo Peng was also very happy, so he made an appointment with Cai Yong to start the process of getting married.
But at the same time, Cai Yong raised another trouble.
It was Cai Yan, who stayed at home as a girl.
"Zhao Ji is very disappointed with her ex-husband, and I am also very disappointed. Zifeng has also known over the years that I have never known who should choose to be Zhao Ji's husband. After thinking about it, I have to rely on Zhao Ji's wishes and really don't want to force it. But now Awan's marriage has been agreed, but the elder sister will not get married, which is not in line with etiquette."
Cai Yong looked at Guo Peng with great embarrassment.
Guo Peng searched.
"Mr. Cai, what Mr. Cai is worried about is that he is worried that what happened before he will hurt Zhao Ji. I have a candidate to recommend to Mr. Cai. If Mr. Cai is satisfied, I will ask him to prepare and come to see Mr. Cai and Zhao Ji in person, and let Mr. Cai and Zhao Ji make a decision."
"Who?"
Cai Yong asked with great care.
"My wife and brother Cao Mengde's eldest son, Cao Ang, and Mr. Cai are not unfamiliar with me?"
Guo Peng smiled and pushed Cao Ang out.
Cao Ang’s age is not much different from Cai Yan. Cai Yan is slightly older than Cao Ang, and Cai Yong and Cao Cao have a good relationship, so they are not unfamiliar with Cao Ang.
Cao Ang had been married before, and his wife was the daughter of Cui Yan, the governor of Wei County.
More than three years ago, when Guo Peng and Yuan Shu fought to the decisive battle, Cao Ang's wife passed away and left a daughter. Cao Ang was very sad about this. He felt that when his wife died, he was busy with official duties and failed to take care of her. He didn't even see her for the last time and kept blaming himself.
Cao Cao understood the pain of his eldest son, so he never told him another marriage.
But when I came to Guo Peng to chat from time to time, I said that I was worried about Cao Ang, thinking that he lived alone without even a concubine, and was really a bit miserable to pull an orphan alone.
So Guo Peng became concerned that this time he was going to ask Guo Jin to marry Cai Wan, and it was also inappropriate not to resolve the marriage of Cai Yan, a girl who controlled the home girl. So after thinking about it, I felt that Cao Ang was very suitable.
Responsible, diligent and brave.
Cao Ang has the advantages of Cao Cao that Guo Peng admires very much, but does not have the disadvantages of Cao Cao such as lust.
Cao Cao has many wives and concubines, and has strong fertility. In addition to Cao Ang, all four sons of Pi Zhangzhi Xiong have been born and have several daughters.
Despite this, he did not stop him from continuing to find a woman.
With so many people under Guo Peng's command, Cao Cao's number of descendants is second only to Guo Peng, and even Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, could not control him.
Of course, being in the position of Cao Cao as a senior official, greed for money or lust is not a disadvantage, but an advantage.
Just like Cao Hong.
Guo Peng never punished Cao Hong for his wealth, likes to make money and has a luxurious lifestyle, but instead often rewarded him with money.
It was just that his methods had a problem before, which touched Guo's life, so he had to punish him, but his loyalty was beyond doubt. Now, after being beaten, he is very honest and obedient.
Guo Peng admired Cao Cao's lust very much, so he didn't care about the frequent complaints from Mrs. Ding and Cao Lan. Instead, he sometimes even added fuel to the fire and gave him a woman.
Cao Ang is different from his father. He focuses on his career and does not value women. He has not taken a concubine for several years after marrying his wife. After his wife dies of illness, he is even more sad and unwilling to reconnect.
If he had a son, maybe Cao Cao would not be anxious and let him go and wait for him to wake up, but Cao Ang had only one daughter, which would not work.
Just so happen, if this time it can solve the emotional problem of this pair of infatuated men and women, it will be considered a merit.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
After fooling Cai Yong, Guo Peng sent someone to Cao Ang, who was the county magistrate in Yanzhou, to call Luoyang, and then returned to his residence in Luoyang and called Guo Jin.
"Do you know who the princess I chose for you?"
Guo Peng held a plate of pastries and ate slowly while looking at Guo Jin.
Guo Jin shook his head silently.
"Everything is up to the father, and the son has no objection."
"It's the youngest daughter of Mr. Cai, Cai Wan."
Guo Peng put down the pastry in his hand: "Your little Awan is longing for you."
“!!!”
Guo Jin suddenly widened his eyes, and his eyes, which were originally not very charming, suddenly became full of spirit.
"Father! This..."
"Do you think I don't know about the little thing between you and Xiao Awan?"
Guo Peng smiled: "Your little thoughts can be hidden from your mother, but I can't."
Guo Jin was suddenly a little excited.
"Father, is this true?"
"Or what if my father helps you to get rid of the engagement?"
Guo Peng stood up and was about to leave.
"No, no, no, no, father, father, don't, this person is very good. The son lets the father be the leader! Let the father be the leader!!"
Guo Jin immediately grabbed Guo Peng's sleeve, his face full of anxiety.
"Hmph, you still have some thoughts hidden. When my father said he wanted to choose a wife for you, look at your virtue and make you cry, for fear that my father would not see that you are reluctant, right?"
Guo Peng poked Guo Jin's forehead several times.
Guo Jin smiled like a fool.
"So my father saw it..."
Guo Peng sighed and shook his head.
"I have seen the things that happened between you and Xiao Awan for a long time, and I haven't said it. It was indeed not the time at that time. It was indeed the time now, but don't be too happy too early. Ajin, you have to know that if it were not for the good looks of Xiao Awan, you wouldn't be so lucky."
As soon as Guo Peng said this, Guo Jin's face changed.
"Father……"
"I told you, A Jin, you cannot choose a marriage for your father, and you actually don't have many choices."
Guo Peng took Guo Jin and sat down, held his hand, and said, "Do you know why my father got married to your mother?"
"I don't know."
Guo Jin shook his head.
"To become an official."
Guo Peng did not hide anything.
"To become an official?"
Guo Jin was a little surprised.
"Yes, in order to become an official."
Guo Peng said slowly: "Although our Guo family is a famous family in Yingchuan, your grandfather was not in harmony with the family in his early years and went out to develop independently. Although he became the prefect of Wuyuan, he had no family support. When it came to your grandfather, he begged many people and was promoted to the official position. He tried his best to become a county magistrate. In the end, he only became a county magistrate.
Your grandfather knew very well that if he didn't think of some way to find a way out for me, then when he passed away, I wouldn't even be a county magistrate. Don't think this is impossible. Everyone wants to be an official, but there are only so many officials.
Without family support, without county magistrates and governors to give you filial and honest talents, and without the Three Dukes' Mansion, you can't become an official. And I couldn't even find anyone to give you filial and honest talents at that time, because your grandfather was just a county magistrate of Qianshishi and did not have the qualifications to give you filial and honest talents.
He is not qualified, so where can a qualified friend recommend me? The selection of filial piety and honest people and Maocai is just a means of local wealthy families controlling official positions. If you recommend me, I recommend me. If I don’t exchange interests, how can I talk about friendship?
Your grandfather knew this well, so in desperation, he thought of the Cao family, your mother's family, who was descended from eunuchs. He became famous because of your mother's grandfather Cao Teng. He made his fortune for only three generations and was still a family of eunuchs, so he was naturally looked down upon by scholars.
He has power, money, but no status, and has always been despised. When his father was young, he witnessed the insults and contempts of the scholars' children to the Cao family many times. This is an opportunity for his father. Do you know what it is?"
