Chapter 012 Let the Wife Come Out as a Lobbyist

On the morning of September 3rd, after Liu Cong and his wife got up and washed themselves, Liu Cong sat on the table and thought about things for a while, then turned to Cai Yunfei and said, "I'm going to Changsha today."

"What's the matter with my husband in Changsha? Why didn't you tell me last night? It was so urgent." Cai Fengfei looked at Liu Cong in surprise and asked.

"Well, that's what happened. A few days ago, I met Wei Yan, the general of the Changsha garrison. He often comes to Jiangling, Xiangyang for official business. I think this person is good, he gets along well with me, and he is knowledgeable.

The main thing is this. First, I estimate that I will generally be responsible for the affairs behind Jingzhou, so I thought I would take advantage of these few days to go to nearby counties to learn about the situation.

One more thing, I am thinking of going to Changsha to learn archery from the old general Huang Zhong.

When I take charge of Jingzhou affairs in the future, I will inevitably have to fight this battle. I am not good at kung fu and equestrian archery, so I still want to seize the time to learn more from others."

"Oh, that's good. Husband, go ahead. I just don't know when you will come back." Cai Fengfei looked at Liu Cong, with a look of reluctance and worry in his eyes.

"In this way, dad usually won't use me right away these days. We just got married, so he won't be as anxious about outside things as we are. So I took advantage of the time to go out for a walk.

As for when I will come back, I'm not sure. But it won't be too long. The big things in Jingzhou haven't been settled yet, so I won't stay out for a long time. Well, it will only be ten days and a half at most."

Cai Fengfei is a woman who knows the general situation. After hearing what Liu Cong said, she encouraged: "Then, husband, go ahead. Don't worry about things at home. After dinner, my servant will pack your luggage for you. Hey - you ordered me last night

Do you want to talk to your aunt today about the matter?"

This was the most anxious thing for Liu Cong after getting married. When Cai Fengfei asked, he suddenly stood up, stared at Cai Fengfei and said, "This is a huge matter. You must deal with it today."

My aunt said, if it doesn't work, you have to convince your aunt to do it even if you cry and scream."

"Phew!" Cai Fengfei couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Does it matter? I still have to cry and scream, it depends on what you say."

Liu Cong sat down, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I am also familiar with my mother's character. As soon as you tell her that her life is in danger, she will lose her temper and make trouble with her father to do this.

It’s just that time is tight, and the world’s situation cannot allow us to delay. You also have to explain this sense of urgency to mother. Well, as long as you explain these two points clearly, I think mother will be able to accomplish this."

So the two came to Mrs. Cai's room to greet her and have dinner. After the meal, Liu Cong brought Liu Biao a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. Then he stood there and said to Liu Biao: "Dad, I am going to Changsha today."

"What's up?"

"Wei Yan came over to do some business the day before yesterday. We have finished the work and have to go back today. I think Huang Hansheng's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, so I will go with Wei Yan to Changsha Yamen to stay for a few days today so that I can study archery with Huang Han."

Before Liu Biao said anything, Mrs. Cai heard it while eating. She looked up at Liu Cong and then at Cai Yunfei, thinking to herself: "We have only been married for less than ten days, why is there such a rush????

"Can't we get along with our tempers?" As he was thinking this, he saw that Cai Yunfei didn't behave strangely, so he didn't say anything out loud.

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Well, let's go. Living in this troubled world, you need to know something about literature, Taoism and military strategy. Where and how many days can you learn?"

"I'm not sure. If my parents don't have anything to do, they can stay there for a few more days. If they have something to do, I'll tell them to come back early."

Mrs. Cai was anxious and said quickly: "Just come back after a few days of learning. I will go out to learn archery just after the wedding."

Cai Yunfei saw him and said quickly: "Aunt, there is no need to stop him, let him learn. I am at home."

After hearing this, Liu Biao glanced at Cai Yunfei with satisfaction and said to Liu Cong: "Ask your mother if there is anything you can do. If there is nothing else, just leave."

Mrs. Cai ordered: "It's okay, you can go. Just go early and come back early. Archery is not something that can be mastered in a day and a half. Just come back early and practice slowly by yourself."

Liu Cong agreed and said, "What mom said is true, Cong'er will remember it." After saying goodbye to Mrs. Liu Biao and Cai, she went out.

Cai Yunfei was left in the room, waiting for Mrs. Cai to eat. Mrs. Cai glanced at her and said, "Go sit aside and rest. I'm not old, so I don't need to wait. Besides, there are still them." Mrs. Cai said and swept away

He glanced at the maids standing nearby, and then said: "He is going to Changsha, and I don't know how many days he will stay there. The newlyweds are far away, and you don't go out to see him off!"

"Aunt, he told me beforehand that he didn't need me to see him off when he left, and asked me to serve his parents here for dinner." After hearing this, Mrs. Cai stopped talking and just lowered her head to drink the soup.

Liu Biao was fat and couldn't bear to sit for a long time, so he got up and went to the back room to rest.

After Mrs. Cai finished eating, she watched the maids clearing away the tableware and heading to the kitchen. When she turned around to talk to Cai Yunfei, she saw Cai Yunfei sitting aside silently wiping her tears. As soon as Mrs. Cai saw this, she became angry and asked repeatedly: "

What's the matter, what's the matter? He's crying and wiping his tears, is he bullying you?" Seeing Caiyun Fei silently wiping away his tears, he shouted: "I can see how much affection this boy has for you, I just want window paper.

Just as frivolous. Hey! I'm not telling you, how can such a thing happen - less than ten days after the wedding, and there is no imperial order to urge you, you just leave your wife at home and fly away to have fun by yourself! No, I'm going to do this

Call me back and explain the matter clearly before you leave." After that, he shouted loudly: "Go! Call Cong'er back at the Yamen as soon as possible."

Cai Yunfei hurriedly stood up and stopped him: "Auntie, please don't stop him. I asked him to go. I don't cry for him, I just pity him."

Mrs. Cai suppressed her anger and turned to glare at Cai Yunfei. She was confused for a moment and just looked at her doubtfully.

Cai Yunfei came over and took Mrs. Cai's arm to ask her to sit down. He sifted out a cup of tea, put it in front of Mrs. Cai and said, "Auntie, let's have tea." After that, he sat sideways with a sad look on his face.

Mrs. Cai lost her temper again, pushed the tea aside and asked: "I would like to ask you, what's the matter? You don't understand what you said, you are just like the gourd with its mouth cut off, can you really be called

Stifled to death! Hey! I have never liked to see you acting like this - not saying what you should say, not doing what should be done, you will only suffer a loss for yourself, and you will not speak out your grievances and grievances, always feeling stuffy in your stomach.

I have been this virtuous since I was a child, and even after I got married and came to the Liu family, I am still like this. I am hopeless! What do you think? What's going on?"

Mrs. Cai scolded her niece like this with a gun and a stick, but she didn't know that it didn't touch Cai Yunfei at all. She was a good-tempered woman. After staying for a while, she stopped talking to Mrs. Cai and said calmly:

"I just felt pitiful for Liu Cong, so I shed tears unconsciously. I didn't expect to make my aunt angry."

"What's so pitiful about him? He has no shortage of food and clothing. He lives a life of fine clothing and fine food. Why should he be pitiful?"

"I thought so at first, but later when I talked to him, I realized that he was worried about Jingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cai thought to herself: "I knew before that Liu Cong was capable, both civil and military, but why didn't I see him worrying about Jingzhou? If I knew he was worried, that would be a good thing. Let me listen to him

How are you worried?" Thinking of this, he asked: "He does not hold any official position in Jingzhou Yamen now, what is he worried about? Tell me about it."

"Aunt, before, I only heard people say that Liu Cong is both wise and brave, and he can make predictions, but I didn't believe it in my heart. After I got married, I realized that he is really talented after listening to his words. His predictions are reasonable and must be accurate."

"What kind of things has he predicted to make you admire him so much?"

"He said that in four years, at most four years, Cao Cao will wipe out Yuan Shao's forces in Hebei and will definitely bring troops to clean up Jingzhou."

"I know this. There is no need for him to predict it. All the officials in Jingzhou think so."

"Do you also know what happens next? Aunt."

"What did he say next?"

"He said that although all the officials, big and small, in Jingzhou now know the future development trend, no one is anxious. So he is worried. He said that if people here in Jingzhou continue to mix like this, Cao Cao will lead his troops to kill them four years later.

Jingzhou must be captured by Cao Cao. Therefore, he worried about it all the time. He couldn't show off in the field. When he got home, he had restless sleep and food, and often sighed. He often stayed up all night, studying the art of war and thinking about how to defeat Cao Cao in the future."

When Mrs. Cai heard this, she thought to herself: "I just want him to be the lord of Jingzhou. In the future, when his father is gone, I will have someone to rely on. For this reason, I even married my niece. I don't want him to have such lofty ambitions."

, but this is something I didn’t know beforehand.”

Mrs. Cai thought of this and asked casually: "What are you afraid of when Cao Cao comes? If you can fight, fight, if you can't fight, surrender. Why are you so worried in advance? I think your father-in-law ignored Liu Bei's instigation several times and went to attack.

Firstly, Cao Cao is ill and cannot lead his troops to fight on the battlefield, but also has a more far-reaching purpose, which is not to antagonize Cao Cao and leave room for peace with Cao Cao in the future."

When Cai Yunfei heard this, he realized that Liu Cong's worry was not unreasonable, so he quickly handed it over and said: "Ah, aunt. No wonder Liu Cong is worried. It turns out that even my uncle has such thoughts? But, you don't know???

???”

"Don't know what? You say."

"You don't know how far-reaching Liu Cong thinks. He is far-sighted."

"Then tell him about his knowledge."

"My niece doesn't dare to say it. I'm afraid of my aunt??????"

"What's wrong with aunt? You can't just die, can you?"
