Chapter 377 Cao Family's Choice
(This chapter is an update for the deacon "0 Bona Baichuan 0", and only with the strong support of book friends, the author will be more passionate in creation!!)
Afterwards, for the people in Shangqing's mansion, two major events happened.

The first is that Lan'er, who was originally a handmaid by the old lady's side, was transferred to the young master's side.

This is absolutely enviable for the servants in the mansion, especially for those new maidservants, it is tantamount to reaching the sky in one step.

The second is, Shangqing's mansion... After quick preparations, he sent a dowry to the Cao family, a very abrupt dowry.

This caused ripples in Wu'an city.

Although the Cao family was not considered a prominent family in Wu'an City, it was worth noting that they were hired by Wei Wuji.

The most disappointed is Gao Yang who has already let go.He just gave up Miss Cao's family, and Wei Wuji was in Taozi.

Originally, when he heard that Wei Wuji was exiled in Lingbei and was not allowed to return, he was very happy. Who knew it would be such a result.

This secondary injury is even more heart-wrenching.

Similarly, the Cao family, who was suddenly hired, is also in a very awkward situation at this time. Should they agree or not?
Besides, there was no such thing at all, and he was hired directly without any news in advance. This is not playing according to the routine.

For the Cao family and seniors, this is really a tangled matter, and of course they don't want to agree to it according to their original intention. After all, Wei Wuji's reputation is "smelly" on the street.

But, after all, it is the Wei family, and it is not easy for them to refuse explicitly... What's more, the other party is Wei Wuji, a "rogue".

Cao Yun, Minister of Agriculture of the State of Wei, the highest-ranking member of the Cao family, is also the grandfather of Cao Xin, and is now the highest ranking member.

In a place like Wu'an, the Cao family can only be regarded as an ordinary family.Now that Wei Wuji was involved, they couldn't play anymore.

"Father, we can't agree to this matter, otherwise we will become the public enemy of the family..."

Speaking of this, Cao Xin's father, Cao Rui, continued: "It's not easy for my Cao family to start a family, so I must not be dragged into these battles."

The Cao family had encountered a catastrophe before, and now it is not easy to keep this title. They are likely to play around when they are involved in the big storm of Wei Wuji.

Titles are everything in this era, not only wealth but also status and power. Otherwise, why do these aristocratic families oppose the reform, or are they unwilling to let more people share the cake.

If the Cao family can be rectified, there will be absolutely no loss for everyone.

That's why the Cao family is afraid of both sides now. They seem to be the focus of the wrestling between the two sides at this time, and they are likely to be torn to pieces.

"This...as a father, why don't you know it!" Cao Yun sighed, and it was because he knew so much that he knew how difficult this matter was.

And he also understood why his son was so eager to object, because he didn't care about the lack of a county magistrate promised by the Gao family...

"If we refuse directly, we are undoubtedly slapping the office in the face. Even if we follow the wishes of the family, we have offended the office!" Cao Yun sighed, even if Marquis Wei didn't do anything on the surface, he might be dissatisfied .

In Wei Hou's view, no matter what other conflicts of interest there are outside, if your Cao family refuses, it means you can't see the office clearly, because you have no right to refuse at all.

This can be seen from the fact that the Zongzheng Mansion can forcefully arrange for women from the aristocratic clan to enter the public office as wives and concubines.And the most terrible thing is, even if you refuse this time, according to that young master's temper, I'm afraid you will be able to make the Cao family uneasy right away.

"So, even if we listen to the family's words, I'm afraid your county magistrate will not be able to take office!" Cao Yun shook his head and said, he was undoubtedly very disappointed that his son didn't even understand this.

Now that he is in his fifties, he won't be able to hold this position for a few years. Then who should lead the Cao family?My own son and grandson may not be able to take on this great responsibility.

Since the future is gloomy, then... it's better to take a chance. Cao Yun has never gambled in his life, so today he will play a big one.

"Go down and prepare right away, return the gift to the Princess Mansion immediately, and say that we agreed to their marriage proposal, and at the same time ask when they will come to welcome the marriage..." Cao Yun said solemnly, and he made this decision with great deliberation.

But Cao Rui didn't understand, this is completely putting the family to death... You must know that their Cao family is not only these few people, but also a lot of collateral.

This decision involves the future of a large group of people, so Cao Rui wanted to make his father think twice, so he beat around the bush and said, "Father, let's ask Xiner what she means at this time!"

No matter what, Cao Rui will find a way to make his daughter disagree!

Cao Yun immediately patted the table and said: "Confused... why don't you hurry up and do what you want as a father!"

Cao Rui had no choice but to turn around and back out.

This will put all your wealth and life on you, son!Cao Yun thought to himself.

His gamble is undoubtedly huge, if Wei Wuji... has a one in ten thousand chance of succeeding to the throne, then his Cao family will follow suit.

Of course, this opportunity really aroused ambiguity, very elusive, very elusive, in fact it was the same... But in the bottom of Cao Yun's heart, somehow there was a trace of luck, and he didn't know how he came to the judgment.

Others were very busy, but Cao Xin, who was the client, was sitting quietly in front of the dressing table at this moment, staring at herself in the copper mirror in a daze.

All of this was really too sudden, she never expected that only a few days later, she would receive the betrothal gift from that person... a betrothal gift that was sent without mentioning marriage.

She can still clearly remember that the man said jokingly: Sister Xin'er, please marry me!
Who knows, now it has become a reality, she may really be marrying that person.

But she was still worried at the bottom of her heart at this time, because he knew that his father and grandfather might be reluctant to agree to marry Wei Wuji.

"Miss...Miss..." At this moment, a maidservant's voice suddenly came from outside.

Cao Xin woke up from deep thinking, and asked the maidservant who came in, "Hui'er, what's the matter?"

The maid Hui'er gasped and said: "Miss, the Patriarch and the others have agreed to marry you to Mr. Wuji!"

For some reason, Cao Xin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and now he felt at ease.

That's right, she had asked herself in her heart and knew that she liked Wei Wuji, so she was happy with the result.

And she also knew that among her little sisters, there were many who liked Wei Wuji. After all, no one would dislike such a heroic character.

It's just that because of the family's will, they can't make a choice for themselves.This also led to the fact that they only heard of Wei Wuji's famous name, but when Wei Wuji was in front of them, they didn't recognize him.

Therefore, Cao Xin is still a little lucky... because the family's decision does not conflict with her will, which is commendable.

Although she also knew in her heart that following Wei Wuji might be very hard, but he was willing to suffer.

Girls may not know what love is, but the power of love has already been bred in their hearts.

This is because Wei Wuji once helped him, and the heroic and martial image he created... fits all the girl's fantasies about the other half, so Cao Xin fell in love with him unknowingly.
