Chapter 115 Cao Family

On this day,

After lowering the teeth,

Cao Guozhang stretched, looked at Xu Wenhui who was also preparing to lower his teeth and smiled:

"Bosheng, what are you going to do after your teeth are replaced?"

Xu Wenhui knew as soon as he heard that Cao Guozhang was in trouble, so he didn't leave in a hurry, stopped and said with a smile:

"Sir, I have nothing important to do. I was going to go home and rest!"

Seeing that Xu Wenhui was well-informed and did not make any excuses to save himself face, Cao Guozhang was also very satisfied. He felt happy and laughed:

"That's great. Since Bo Sheng is fine, I recently got a few bottles of good wine. How about Bo Sheng try it with me?

It's been several days since you came to the Imperial Guard's Military Division. Speaking of which, I, your superior, have not yet interacted with you.

How about we just treat this meal as a feast for the wind? "

"How could Bo Sheng refuse your kindness, sir? It's naturally more respectful than obeying orders! It's just a waste of trouble, sir!"

Cao Guozhang was not only the emperor's confidant brother-in-law, but also his immediate boss.

Plus using Jie Feng Wine as an excuse,

Naturally, Xu Wenhui would not refuse!

Seeing Xu Wenhui's immediate agreement, Cao Guozhang seemed very happy.

Although the Cao family is considered the number one person because of Queen Cao's relationship,

But after all, his background is not as good as that of the Xu family, so seeing Xu Wenhui so cheerful, he was naturally in a good mood and said with a bold smile:

"Haha, what's the expense? Bo Sheng is a young and talented young man. Most people can't invite him if they want to! You are giving me, Lao Cao, face!"

"Haha, adults are joking!"

"please!"

"please!"

So the two of them went to Cao's house together.

Coincidentally, the Cao family is also in Jiying Lane.

The distance from the Sheng family is not too far, but one of the two families is a general and the other is a civil servant.

In addition, the Cao family belongs to the Queen's maternal family, and their family status is much higher than that of the Sheng family.

So there is no communication between the two families!

However, the Cao family's mansion is relatively simple.

From Xu Wenhui's point of view, it seems to be worse than the Sheng family.

Legend has it that Queen Cao had very strict requirements for her natal family. Xu Wenhui had only heard of it in the past.

But from the perspective of this mansion, this statement is not false, it is not groundless!

However, there is a way of saying that mountains are not high, and immortals are famous. Waters are not deep, and dragons are spiritual.

After all, the Cao family is the queen’s maternal family, so naturally no one looks down upon it!

Under the leadership of Cao Guozhang, everyone in the Cao family was introduced without mentioning it.

At the banquet, the wine reaches the fool's point,

Cao Guozhang seemed a little drunk, and he smiled and said:

"Bo Sheng, I heard that you are getting married, is that true?

Let me tell you, when you get married, you must send a message to me, Lao Cao, and I will have to have a good drink by then! "

Xu Wenhui was a little confused when he heard what Cao Guozhang said.

Has the matter between him and Minglan spread?

It shouldn’t be. Not many people know about this. No one has a reason to leak it?

If it really leaked out, then he would have to act quickly to get engaged as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Minglan would be under so much pressure!

However, Xu Wenhui had not yet determined the detailed situation, so he did not directly respond to Cao Guozhang. Instead, he asked pretending to be confused:

"I don't know where my lord started talking about this. Although the family is making arrangements for Wen Hui, it has not been decided yet. Who did you listen to, lord?"

Xu Wenhui's words are not completely false, because there are so many people who come to propose marriage.

Now my grandmother has been somewhat affected by what happened to Xu Wenpin and no longer manages the affairs of the family.

These matters temporarily fall on Liang Churan, the stepmother.

Under Xu Wenhui's instruction, Liang Churan was indeed making plans on the surface! Otherwise, something is abnormal!

Cao Guozhang still smiled a little drunkenly and said:

"Oh? No, I can't remember who told it.

But I heard that you, Bo Sheng, are getting married to the beloved daughter of a British official. I thought that you two were a perfect match, so I wanted to congratulate you!

Is not it? "

Xu Wenhui was a little surprised when he heard this. He and his beloved British daughter?

Isn’t that Zhang Guifang? The one who later married Zhao Zongquan’s brother-in-law Shen Congxin?

What does this mean? He has been to the British father-in-law's house before and met the British father-in-law and his wife, but he has never revealed his intention to marry his daughter?

Thinking of Cao Guozhang’s identity,

Xu Wenhui guessed that it was Cao Guozhang who came to test him for Zhao Zhen?

Don’t you want two powerful men with real power in your family and the British government to get married?

No matter how you guess, it is not good for these words to spread.

It also affected Zhang Guifang’s reputation, so Xu Wenhui denied it repeatedly:

"Your Excellency, I must have heard wrongly. There is no such thing! It is probably a rumor spread by some people!" As he said this, Xu Wenhui felt that through Cao Guozhang's mouth, the matter of his marriage with the Sheng family had reached Zhao Zhen's ears. It was considered a good thing, so he smiled and said:

"Actually, to be honest with you, sir, I already have my heart set on something, and I will propose marriage after only a few days. Speaking of which, sir, this meal of wine is indispensable?"

Hearing what Xu Wenhui said, Cao Guozhang perked up and asked curiously:

"Oh? I wonder whose girl is so lucky to be favored by Bo Sheng?"

In fact, Cao Guozhang really wanted to test for the royal family, but this was not Zhao Zhen's order.

It was Queen Cao's order. Zhao Zhen has been in poor health recently.

Empress Cao makes the decision on many things.

Empress Cao heard somewhere that the British public intended to marry Xu Wenhui.

Although it was not true or false, these two families were both powerful families, so she naturally did not dare to underestimate them.

So let Cao Guozhang test it out!

Xu Wenhui made up his mind anyway and passed it on through Cao Guozhang's mouth, so he didn't hide anything and said with a smile:

"Haha, it's a coincidence. This person is your neighbor. She is from the Sheng family in Jiying Lane, and she is his girl!"

Cao Guozhang was really shocked now, even though they were all in the same alley,

However, he was not familiar with the Sheng family and did not understand the specific situation of the Sheng family.

I just knew that the master’s rank was not high, so I widened my eyes in confusion and asked:

"Sheng family? Isn't that fifth grade?"

How could a mere fifth-grade family be qualified to marry the Xu family?

Seeing Cao Guozhang so surprised, Xu Wenhui explained:

"Yes, it's the Sheng family. Speaking of which, the Sheng family and my family are relatives.

Now the head of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong, is Wen Hui's cousin, and his aunt is Wen Hui's aunt! So the two families are even closer!

However, the two families have not yet exchanged Geng Tie, which will inevitably lead to gossip and ruin the reputation of others. I hope you will keep it a secret for the time being! "

Xu Wenhui said it solemnly. In addition, although the Sheng family was not well-off, it made sense for them to marry each other.

And getting married is a big deal, and you can’t hide it in the future.

So Cao Guozhang believed it and said with a smile:

"I see... Don't worry, Bo Sheng, Cao still has this kind of character! But when the day comes when you get married, you must not forget to inform me, Old Cao!"
