Cao Yi's marksmanship was superb. A big spear in his hand was like a dragon, flying left and right and moving up and down. Unfortunately, even what Ye An thought was a very beautiful marksmanship was full of flaws in Cao Wei's eyes.
"Do you think you showed it to the officials in Jinmingchi? What is the emphasis on the marksmanship of my Cao family?! If it were on the battlefield, your marksmanship would be enough for the enemy to kill you several times!"
So the giant dragon in Cao Yi's hand turned into a spiritual snake. Only then did Ye An realize that his marksmanship was very tricky and ruthless. His movements were extremely small but extremely powerful. Ye An believed that he would not be able to survive a few moves in his hands unless he used his life.
Fighting desperately.
These are the enemy-killing combat skills on the battlefield, not the bells and whistles displayed in front of others.
She thought Ye An could save her, but she ended up adding insult to injury. Cao Yi stared at Ye An full of resentment, and felt itchy at the root of her teeth when she saw him chatting and laughing with his second uncle. How could he have such a friend?!
He was still angry, and he also knew that he had done something wrong. Ye An was just trying to remind himself, but he didn't know why his second uncle wanted to punish him like this? It's not a big deal if he doesn't go home at night.
Even if a banker comes to your door and gives you some money, why should you stay at home?
At this time, Cao Wei looked at the movements in his nephew's hands and said with emotion: "If Yi'er could be half as smart as you, I, as an uncle, would be relieved. Don't you know that the Cao family can't have any more troubles now, even if it's a small one?"
It doesn’t matter if you have a small loss of personal ethics. If the official family wants to choose Wan’er as the queen, it is a great honor but also a great burden!”
Ye An smiled and said: "Brother Cao is not a stupid person. He is as wise as he is foolish!"
"Yes! He is indeed not stupid, otherwise I would not let him become the best of this generation. He will still be responsible for the future of the Cao family, lest no one can control the Cao family after I pass away.
Majesty."
Cao Wei sighed slightly, but what Ye An saw next to him was a patriarch working hard for the glory of his family.
Look at Cao Wei's appearance, look at Cao Yi's attitude of accepting punishment, look at the family tradition at the door of Cao's family, maybe this is the fundamental reason why the Cao family has not fallen into decline for several generations in the Song Dynasty!
Ye An knew Zhao Zhen's plan, and Cao Wei also knew that he had to be cautious when it came to matters concerning the Queen of the Cao family.
When they arrived at Cao's house, Ye An talked to Cao Wei like an elder. However, Cao Yi, who was a brother-in-law, became a junior and could only listen beside Cao Wei without daring to speak.
Today I said I came to the Cao family to pay New Year greetings, but in fact it was an invitation from Cao Wei. He valued Ye An very much and believed that the Cao family and the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion were already tied together. Ye An was involved in the matter of Zhao Zhen becoming the queen.
It played a big role.
"Before the Lunar New Year, the official family planned to make Wan'er their queen under the instruction of Empress Dowager Yang. Now that the new year is over, the official family will issue an order to establish a queen in a few days during the dynasty. I just don't know if this is a blessing for the Cao family.
Misfortune..." Although Cao Wei said this, Ye An knew that he was not worried, it was just the anxiety before good things came.
Ye An nodded slightly: "It is not a bad thing for the Cao family to have a queen. The family that has always been prosperous does not exist, and the same is true for the generals. Now the only generals in Tokyo who can lead troops outside are the Cao family. If you still want this
If you want glory and wealth, you have to give up something. Being a relative of the Song Dynasty is the best choice, and the officials probably think so too!"
Cao Wei breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What my nephew said is reasonable, there are gains and losses. If the Cao family becomes a family of relatives, although they will lose a lot, they will also gain what they have never been able to get. Why do you want to ask the official family?"
Would you like to recommend the daughter of my Cao family?"
The last question was Cao Wei's purpose. He wanted to know why Ye An would recommend Cao Wan in front of officials.
Ye An smiled, fearing that Cao Wei wouldn't ask, so he took a sip of tea to adjust his rhythm and said: "Because the daughter of the Cao family is the most suitable. Cao Wan is cautious and bold in doing things. Mu Mu said that she is in the palace
She usually speaks up for others. A woman with such a measured attitude is most suitable to be a queen of an official family. However, she has one shortcoming that cannot be made up for, so she should be careful about it."
"What kind of shortcomings?! My daughter of the Cao family has no shortcomings. She is the best in the palace!" Cao Yi couldn't help shouting from the side. Cao Wan is his cousin, and she is absolutely the best in his eyes.
Perfect.
But Cao Wei was very curious and looked at Ye An and said: "What's wrong with Wan'er?"
"Appearance, Uncle Cao should also know that the officials attach great importance to this. Cao Wan has been in the palace for many years but has never been valued by the officials." Ye An's words made Cao Wei wake up. As a man, he certainly knew that appearance was important to him.
How important is it for a woman, and Cao Wan is indeed ordinary-looking.
"I think Wan'er is pretty good, and her appearance is no worse than her sister-in-law!" Cao Yi's words made Ye An and Cao Wei roll their eyes. Cao Yi's wife also looks average...
Cao Wei nodded solemnly: "What Changsheng said makes sense. What men like is common to all people. Although Wan'er is virtuous and virtuous, she is not the beauty of the country. I wonder what Ye Hou can do?"
Ye An waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I can't help it, but my family has some tricks. If there is a chance, I can..."
"There is a chance, there is a chance! After the new year, before the official orders to marry Wan'er, she will naturally have to return to the palace to be married. She is married back to the palace and becomes the queen. I also ask the Lord of Yangcheng County to help me!
"
As a man, Cao Wei certainly knew the importance of this matter and quickly agreed.
In fact, Ye An also took the risk to say such a thing. There are many historical opinions between Zhao Zhen and Cao Wan, but one thing that cannot be escaped is that Zhao Zhen's love for Cao Wan is not the kind of love between a man and a woman, but more of a love that is attracted by marriage.
The helplessness of restraint and the gradual recognition.
Perhaps it should be said that there is no love between them, but a family relationship gradually formed in compromise and mutual support. This kind of love is not exciting, but gradually deepens. It does not go in both directions, but is firmly locked together by the years.
.
All Ye An can do is try his best to create love between Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao. In Qin Mumu's words, although Empress Cao is plain in appearance, her temperament is excellent. As long as she is dressed properly, she can be beautiful.
What kind of women are there in the harem? Whether they are dignified and beautiful, or arrogant and domineering, Zhao Zhen has seen them all, but compared to Cao Wan, there are not many who are steady and a little quirky.
She should not restrain her nature, but rather release it. While being the Queen of the Sixth Palace, she should still retain her character, so that she can win Zhao Zhen's favor.
Cao Wei didn't like to get involved in Puhui Company's affairs, so he left when the conversation about the Cao family's business came up.
At this time, Cao Yi got up quickly, sat there and crossed her legs and said: "Brother, there will be a lot of dividends at the end of this year. Our company will also do wool business with the Liao people. I think we should put the Puhui company in the Liao Dynasty next year."
The business is listed as the top priority? In this way, it can not only broaden the market but also gain access to the Liao Dynasty. It is also good for other businesses!"
Ye An gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Cao is far-sighted! Changsheng has this intention. Our business has never been able to fully expand in the Liao Dynasty. The biggest difficulty is our identity. Puhui Company is a business name of the Song Dynasty. It is a Liao people."
There must be some control. If we can follow Yeluhan's path, after the wool business is done well, our other businesses will surely be able to flow smoothly."
"Hehe, I'm just telling you! My brother is quite talented in business matters, uh... are you still going to the Li family? Listen to my brother's advice and avoid interacting with the Li family."
Ye An crossed his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Cao, for reminding me, but I still have to go when I have to. I can't afford to lose my etiquette first."
Before Cao Yi could speak, she heard Cao Wei's calm voice coming from outside the door: "You go with Changsheng! Changsheng is right, you can't be rude first!"
