Two days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day before the Cao family's martial arts competition to recruit a bride. During these two days, Lu Yao was not idle, not just at night, he got up every morning and took Tangxi to
He went to Jiuzhongxian and trained with Fangzhuang, Jintai and three others. The last five-on-one failure gave Lu Yao a lot of inspiration. He felt that just by practicing martial arts with Fangzhuang, he could
These tricks are not enough. Although when it comes to the martial arts contest, the opponents on the stage are not as good as Jin Tai, but if they want to persist to the end and form a showdown with Fu Shaolong, the abilities of the other three escorts
The overall cooperation is also very important. Therefore, he has been training with Fangzhuang and Jintai in Jiuzhongxian for the past two days. In addition, he wears a mask the whole time, so that he can be better at that time.
Adapt to the current situation.
Tangxi once asked Lu Yao whether Han Yonghe would definitely attend the martial arts contest, because with Cao Guojiu's character, he would naturally not let go of this opportunity to show off to Han Yonghe. Even if Lu Yao brought him
Wearing a mask, he will definitely tell his true identity in the end. At that time, when Han Yonghe knows that Lu Yao is also going to compete and also said that he wants to marry Cao Han, how should he deal with it?
In fact, Lu Yao has been avoiding this question. Although Tang Xi has asked him about this matter now, Lu Yao still doesn't know how he will answer Han Yonghe's question if his identity is really disclosed by then.
.However, Lu Yao can't think so much now. Time is running out. He can only take one step at a time. The top priority is to win this competition. If the final winner is Fu Shaolong, then Lu Yao will also
There is no need to explain anything to Han Yonghe, and there is no way to stop Cao Han's marriage.
While Lu Yao was practicing diligently, a big event happened in the Cao family today.
When Cao Han woke up this morning, he originally wanted to go to the yard to play Cuju while Cao Guoshu and Cao Ping were not at home. If Cao Han knew Cuju at the beginning, it was simply because Lu Yao was a new player in the Cuju competition.
She was the organizer of the event, and then Lu Yao gave her a Cuju so that she could play. But now Cao Han found that she gradually really enjoyed the time of playing Cuju. As a strange woman, Cao Han and Han Yunyu
The things that ladies do on weekdays are completely different. She likes riding horses and practicing martial arts. She doesn't like anything like playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Of course, except for those written by Lu Yao. Because of this, Cao Han has many friends around her.
Shao, Cao Han is not very interested in what other women like or talk about. In addition, she is the apple of the eye of the uncle Guo, and with this status, naturally not many people can get close to her and have a good relationship with her. So back and forth.
, In fact, Cao Han's daily life is very boring. Although not many people in the family dare to control her, Cao Han also feels bored when looking at the same things and people every day.
After putting her in solitary confinement and letting her out, she was not stopped from going out to play on weekdays. However, no matter where Cao Han went in Bianliang City, there would be a large group of people following him, which also made Cao Han feel a little bored.
.
As a result, she was unwilling to go out. Fortunately, after receiving Lu Yao's Cuju, Cao Han felt that she should use this thing to pass the time in her free time. Naturally, after Cao You's reminder before, she also knew not to do it in front of Cao Yu.
If you go to play Cuju in front of Uncle Guo, you will inevitably be scolded. Maybe the Cuju will be taken away in the end. So, after getting up today, Cao Han counted the time and planned to go to the main hall to see Uncle Cao first.
Didn't go to the morning meeting? After he left, he went to play in the courtyard for a while.
However, what Cao Han did not expect was that Uncle Cao Guo had no intention of going to the morning court today, and even Cao Ping and Cao You were sitting in the main hall, apparently having something important to discuss.
Uncle Cao Guo saw Cao Han seeing him, so he waved to Cao Han to sit down in the main hall.
Seemingly knowing that there was something important to discuss, Cao Han entered the main hall. In her impression, Cao Guojiu had never looked at her so seriously and formally before, and, as Cao Guojiu's daughter,
My father rarely told me about the matters in the court, which further illustrates the importance of today's matter.
Cao Han sat down and saw other people in the hall. In addition to Uncle Cao Guo, Cao Ping and Cao You also had their eyes on her. This made Cao Han feel a little surprised. She looked at Cao Guo
Uncle, said: "Dad, why didn't you go to morning service today?"
Uncle Cao Guo took a sip of tea and said, "Oh, your brother and I both claimed to be ill and did not go to court today. Do you know why?"
Cao Han looked at Cao You, and she found that Cao You was avoiding her eyes again. She saw a trace of guilt in Cao You's eyes. At this time, Cao Han didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, so she looked at Cao You.
Uncle Guo said, "Why?"
Uncle Cao Guo looked at Cao Ping. The meaning was very obvious. What he was going to say next was said by Cao Ping. Cao Ping was very different from Cao You. His personality was very straightforward. At that time, we discussed who should handle this matter.
When telling Cao Han, after Cao Yu refused, Cao Ping took the lead and stood up and said that he would do it himself. After all, it was Cao Ping who found the candidates and dealt with the wealthy family.
, it is understandable that Cao Ping told Cao Han about this matter.
Cao Ping cleared his throat, and then told Cao Han the whole story, including the martial arts contest to be held tomorrow. Naturally, Cao Ping did not tell Cao Han about Fu Shaolong being the final winner.
Both Cao Guoshu and Cao Ping felt that it was better to make Cao Han satisfied with Fu Shaolong, and to create a situation for Cao Han in which Fu Shaolong won the final victory through his own strength. In this way, Cao Han would be better off.
Fu Shaolong developed some good feelings, which would facilitate future marriages. Therefore, Cao Ping only talked about martial arts competitions to recruit brides. He said that Cao Han had always liked people who practiced martial arts, and those participating in the competition tomorrow were brought by Cao Ping before.
Among the men Cao Han meets, the one who wins in the end will become Cao Han's husband. This competition will be held tomorrow, and Cao Han will also be there to watch.
When Cao Han heard Cao Ping say these words, she instantly understood why Cao Ping took her to meet those men. At that time, she thought it was interesting, but now that she thought about it, it turned out that all of this had already happened under the control of her father, Uncle Cao Guo.
The design was in progress. Cao Han's expression began to change. Cao You saw that his sister was shocked at first, and then turned into anger. When he thought that Cao Han would definitely get angry, Cao Han suddenly calmed down, and she
He looked at Cao Ping and Uncle Cao coldly and said, "Lu Yao, will he come to compete? What should I say if he wins?"
Uncle Cao Guo waved his hands quickly and said: "This is impossible. You must know that Lu Yao has already been engaged to Han Yunyu, the eldest lady of the Han family. However, although Lu Yao will not come, Han Yonghe will definitely be there. I will be there."
When the time comes, we should let him see the connections of our Cao family."
Cao Han was silent when he heard this. Seeing this, Cao You said from the side: "Dad has always hidden this matter from the Lu family, so no one from the Lu family will be present tomorrow."
Cao You's words apparently made Cao Han give up and told him that neither Lu Yao nor anyone else in the Lu family would come to participate in this contest. But in fact, he told him secretly.
The fact about Cao Han was not that Lu Yao didn't know about it, but that the Cao family had been hiding it from him. If Lu Yao knew about it, he would probably take action.
Cao You could only say this. He thought his words would make Cao Han feel better. Unexpectedly, Cao Han stared at Cao You tightly and said, "I want to know about this matter, brother."
You knew it a long time ago, right?"
Cao You wanted to avoid Cao Han's eyes. What he was most worried about finally happened. He had thought about how he would answer if Cao Han asked him this. But now, when this scene happened,
Cao You was still a little at a loss.
"Tell me, did you know it before!" Cao Han finally shouted loudly. She was questioning Cao You. In Cao Han's view, it was normal for her father and Cao Ping to hide it from her. They knew that they
But Cao You, the eldest brother who loved him the most, followed the two of them and hid it from him. This was what made Cao Han the saddest.
"Yes." After a moment, in the surprisingly quiet main hall, Cao You said this word.
Cao Han's body was out of control, and she leaned backwards and fell down.
"I won't go, and I won't get married. I want to find someone I really like."
After saying this, Cao Han stood up straight and was about to leave the main hall. It seemed that he was leaving Cao Mansion.
Uncle Cao Guo immediately winked at Cao Ping next to him.
Cao Ping understood instantly, stood up and stopped Cao Han directly. Uncle Cao Guo's voice came from behind Cao Han.
"Daughter, before the martial arts competition begins, I ask you to stay in your room. When tomorrow, I will personally take you to the place where the martial arts competition will be held."
Cao Han looked back at Uncle Cao Guo, his eyes full of resentment. Then, Cao Ping called a few servants to follow him and took Cao Han back to the room semi-forcibly.
Cao You looked at his sister's leaving figure with mixed feelings in his heart.
Seeing Cao Han being taken away, Uncle Cao Guo left the main hall and went back to his room to rest. However, before leaving, Uncle Cao Guo glanced at Cao You and said, "I know you and Lu Yao are good friends, but this
This matter involves the future of our Cao family, as well as your future. I believe you understand it. Therefore, I advise you not to tell Lu Yao about this matter. Of course, now that it has happened, even if it is you
It doesn't matter if you tell him."
After saying that, Uncle Cao Guo left Cao You's sight.
Cao You sat there, still recalling the desperate look Cao Han gave him before leaving. What should he do? What could he do?
Although he had known that Cao Han would react like this, and Cao You also expected that Cao Han would definitely question him due to his character, he did not expect that Cao Han's reaction would be much more intense than he imagined.
As for what Cao Guojiu said, Cao You also had his own understanding. As the head of the Cao family, the current Guojiu's status above the court can be imagined, so Cao Guojiu wanted to do it for Cao Cao.
family to consider, and, needless to say, when Cao Guojiu retires, his successor must be Cao You. As for Fu Bi, a veteran in seeking a country, it can be said that with his help as the Cao family, it can be said to be enough to consolidate
The power of the Cao family in the court. On the other hand, Cao You also knew that his personality was not very lovable. Taking the previous situation as an example, if he had not offended so many people, how could even Uncle Cao Guo
If you can't protect yourself, you can only let yourself leave Bianliang for a while and then come back?
From the perspective of the successor of the Cao family, Cao You can understand his father's actions. However, as Cao Han's brother and the sister he has loved for many years, Cao You naturally hopes that Cao Han can be happy.
Marry a good man. Moreover, judging from Cao You's observations of Lu Yao over the past few days, although the rich family's current power and connections are far beyond what Lu Yao can match, it's just that Lu Yao is still young and cannot use his current
Look at future events from the perspective of Lu Yao. Whether he is doing business or dealing with diplomatic relations and politics, he has a very keen sense of smell and judgment. If this person enters the court in the future, he will definitely
The idea of forming a new force was already doomed when Lu Yao told Cao You that he would not get together with Han Jiaren. As for Cao You, he actually had no idea about the forces of the Cao family in the court.
I'm not very interested. If I can work with Lu Yao to accomplish something big by then, according to Lu Yao, it's called revolution. In fact, in Cao You's view, it's called reform. Reform may be more correct.
Choosing to walk step by step on the road paved by your elders may not be a very wise choice.
After thinking about it again and again, this is also the main reason why Cao You told Lu Yao the truth about Cao Han's marriage and decided to help him to some extent. Since he has decided that he will follow Lu Yao in the future
When working together, you must trust Lu Yao. Cao You knew that Lu Yao should also be preparing for the martial arts competition at this time. However, as for how to deal with this martial arts competition, he would not let Cao Han marry Fu Shaolong.
, as well as the arrangements for the follow-up matters, Lu Yao did not tell Cao Yu. After all, Lu Yao himself was not sure now. He could 100% win the contest to recruit a bride. The variables in this matter were too great, not to mention that when
At that time, Han Yonghe had to attend the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. He had to think about how to tell the Han family about this matter, but the most important thing was to win the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. If he lost in the competition, Lu
Yao didn't have any capital to let Cao Han marry him. Considering these uncertainties, Lu Yao only told Cao Yu that he would come up with a solution during the martial arts contest and would not let Cao Han marry him.
To Fu Shaolong. But Lu Yao did not tell Cao Yu about the specific method.
Of course, Cao You, who already knew Lu Yao's affection for his sister, chose to believe it and did not intend to delve into Lu Yao's true actions.
Now it is finally the day before the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. The current situation is that Cao Han has been placed under house arrest. It is impossible for her to see Lu Yao today. And tomorrow, Cao Han will be sent to
She would go to the martial arts competition to find a bride, whether she wanted to or not.
Cao Han should be extremely depressed now, marrying someone she is completely unfamiliar with. What's more, even if she watched tomorrow's game and saw the whole process of Fu Shaolong's victory, she would still have no regard for this person.
It's not annoying, but it was a game carefully planned by Cao Ping and Cao Guoshu. Cao You really couldn't help watching his sister be deceived like this.
Although he couldn't let her see Lu Yao, and from what Cao Guojiu said just now, Cao You already understood that Cao Guojiu should know all his actions today, so he couldn't go today.
See Lu Yao, but Cao Yi has his own way of doing this.
Cao Yu left the main hall and decided to calm down his sister first. However, when he walked to the door of Cao Han's room, he saw his younger brother Cao Ping actually taking a chair and sitting directly at the door of Cao Han's room.
When Cao Ping saw Cao Yu coming, he said, "Dad asked me to guard here. After all, you know our sister's character. If I didn't guard her personally, I might not be able to see her tomorrow morning."
.You must pay attention to what dad told you. Tomorrow the martial arts competition will start, so no mistakes can be made before that."
Upon seeing this, Cao You knew that it was impossible for Cao Han to leave his room today. However, he did not expect that his father would send Cao Ping to watch here in person to prevent any unexpected situation from happening to Cao Han. From this move
Cao You can also know that Cao Yi attaches great importance to this marriage with a wealthy family and must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
So, Cao You had no choice but to sigh and said, "I'll go in and see her."
"Brother, what are you..."
Cao You waved his hand and said: "At this time, I will not take her away. However, if you let her stay in the room so angry for a whole day, if there is something wrong with her body, it will not matter.
Great, if I don't go in now, don't worry, I won't have to eat lunch or dinner. I'm afraid I won't be satisfied if I meet the rich man tomorrow and see our little girl in such a state."
Cao Ping didn't have any great wisdom, not to mention what Cao Yu said sounded fine, so he opened the door and let Cao Yu in. He thought to himself that he was guarding outside, and his eldest brother couldn't lead him directly.
Let Cao Han leave.
Cao Han was lying on the bed at this time, burying her head under the pillow, and Cao You could hear her crying.
Cao You walked to the bed and patted Cao Han on the shoulder. Cao Han threw her hands away angrily. Apparently she had heard what Cao You had just said to Cao Ping at the door. She did not raise her head, obviously not wanting to talk to Cao You.
The way he talks.
So, Cao You knelt down and whispered to Cao Han: "I know you are still blaming your brother, but I have never been responsible for this matter. It was all caused by my father and Cao Ping from beginning to end.
No matter how capable I am, there is nothing I can do to stop it, right? And I thought that if you find out one day later, you will be less sad for one day."
As soon as these words came out, Cao Han immediately stood up from the bed and looked directly into Cao Yu's eyes, obviously wanting to lose his temper and roar. Cao Yu quickly waved his hands, then looked outside the door to signal Cao Han not to yell.
Cao You's actions surprised Cao Han. Cao You continued to say in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, although I didn't stop Dad and Cao Ping's behavior on the surface, Lu
Yao has known about this a long time ago. He has promised me and you that he will never let you marry that Fu Shaolong. He should definitely be there at tomorrow's marriage competition.
There is a way to prevent you from getting married."
When Cao Han heard this, he immediately turned from sadness to joy. At Cao You's reminder, he also whispered: "Really? Will he really come?"
"Although I hid this matter from you, think about when I have lied to you since you were a child."
Hearing what Cao Yu said, Cao Han also knew that he had done something wrong just now, so he said, "I'm sorry, brother."
"So, do you still want to go on a hunger strike now? You are going to see him tomorrow. Do you want to make yourself beautiful and full of energy?" Cao You said, "In addition, in order to prevent me from being suspected, we will also
You have to pretend to be quarreling, and you can't let them know that I disclosed this information to you."
Cao Han nodded.
Cao Ping was outside the door. In fact, he had received orders from Uncle Cao Guo. If Cao Yu came to see Cao Han, he must listen clearly to what the two of them would say.
At first there was no movement in the room, but not long after, the quarrel between Cao You and Cao Han came from the room. Apparently, Cao Han still resented Cao You for his position on this matter. Cao You, on the other hand, was
He said that Cao Han's marriage would be of great benefit to the Cao family and would not cause any harm to the Cao family. He hoped that his sister could understand.
The final result of the quarrel was that Cao You was kicked out of Fangjian by Cao Han. It seemed that the relationship between the two of them was continuing to deteriorate. This was the conclusion reached by Cao Ping.
However, Cao Han did not refuse to eat at lunch after that. Cao Ping attributed this to Cao You's persuasion when he came to her room just now. It seems that Cao Han has now acquiesced to attend the competition to recruit a bride tomorrow.
After realizing the fact, Cao Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because Cao Guoshu and Fu Bi had previously expressed that they would definitely let Cao Han attend the arena tomorrow and finally meet Fu Shaolong. There should be no such thing as
Any mistakes.
However, he didn't know that bigger trouble was about to come. This chapter has been completed!
