Chapter 8 I, Cao Ang, would like to welcome Diao Chan for the Cao family

Cao Cao came today and was already prepared.

Without saying a word, he raised his hands and saluted Wang Yun.

"There is an old saying that if two people work together, they can cut through metal. If Ming Gong is willing to help me today, Cao will be of the same mind as Ming Gong in the future!"

Both the words and the emotions were on point, and what he said was a true sincerity. For a young man who was not very experienced in the world, he probably believed it at this time.

However, after all, Wang Situ has been in the world for a long time. He has held various civil and military official positions from local to imperial court, so he can be said to be full of experience.

Therefore, what Cao Cao said was pleasant, but Wang Yun just shook his head with a smile.

"If Meng De is really willing to work with me, then of course everyone will be happy. I'm afraid it's just empty talk to make me, an old man, happy."

Cao Cao felt a little bit sour.

As expected, none of these old guys are easy to deal with. Even Wang Yun, who seems to be the easiest to deal with, has to submit a certificate of surrender before he is willing to believe in himself.

Ang'er still thinks too simply. Our hearts are black, but other people's hearts are not white either.

Just when Cao Cao was hesitant and didn't know how to win Wang Yun's trust, a confident voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"My father came here sincerely, but Ming Gong was very hesitant. It was just because he lacked some confidence and was worried that my father would break his promise in the future."

"Ang has a plan that can ensure that the effectiveness of the agreement between my father and Ming Gong is greatly enhanced. We no longer have to worry about breaking the promise. It's a win-win situation!"

"oh?"

Wang Yun was startled and turned his head curiously to look at Cao Ang, who had been sitting on Cao Cao's left hand side.

The young boy who had not said a word since he asked me to greet him, I thought he was a passer-by who had a lot of experience brought by Cao Mengde and could be ignored.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, he would stand up and speak out for his father.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that this was the foreign aid brought by Cao Mengde.

After changing to a comfortable sitting position, Wang Yun asked with interest.

"Now that we are at this point, there are some things we can really say honestly. Your father is willing to work with me. This condition is quite tempting for me, but I don't dare to fully believe it. This is my concern."

"So if Zixiu has any good ideas, you might as well speak out boldly. If it is really the best idea, it will be good for both your father and me. If we work together, we will benefit both sides."

Cao Ang smiled.

He nodded to his father, Cao Cao, who was looking worried at the side, and gave him a confident look, indicating that there was no problem.

Then he spoke in a calm tone.

"Since ancient times, in order to ensure the firmness of the covenant and reduce the possibility of betrayal by both parties, both parties who establish a covenant generally have two methods."

"One is to use people as hostages, such as pressing me here with you, so that my father can fulfill the covenant honestly, but this is obviously not suitable for use here."

Wang Yun said "hmm" and didn't say much.

"The second is to establish a bond of blood connection through the relationship of marriage, so that the relationship between the two parties can be brought to a higher level, and the possibility of breaking the alliance will naturally be reduced."

"My suggestion is to use this method. If our Wang and Cao families get closer, won't the current problem be solved?"

Wang Yun was a little confused.

"Why do you want to marry each other? There is no suitable partner for marriage between my Wang family and your Cao family!"

"My daughter is about the same age as your father, but she has been married for many years. Where can I find someone to marry her?"

Having said this, Wang Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes, which was very inconsistent with his image.

But he couldn't bear it anymore.

What’s all this and what!

Even Cao Cao was a little bit dumbfounded.

You bastard, if you come up with some bad ideas, you have to consider the actual situation at least.

Find a wife for your father. If you go back and tell your mother about this, I won't slap you on the butt with a broom.

…………

No matter how Wang Yun and Cao Cao reacted, Cao Ang remained calm, but kept the confident look on his face that he was full of wisdom.

After finally waiting for the two of them to calm down, Cao Ang pretended to be surprised and said.

"Where did Ming Gong think of it? I never said that the person we were marrying was my father."

"Huh? Who else could it be if it wasn't Meng De?"

Cao Ang pointed at himself.

"me!"

"I have always heard that Duke Ming Dynasty has an adopted daughter named Diao Chan. She has been adopted by you since she was a child. She has a deep relationship with you and loves her as her biological father and daughter. Now she happens to be of marriageable age."

"You are not talented at all, but you are willing to dedicate yourself to become the object of marriage and welcome Miss Diao Chan for the sake of the good relationship between our family, King Cao and his family for generations!"

The words are loud and clear.

Wang Yun was immediately stunned.

???

It was as if a screen full of question marks were floating over his forehead, which made Wang Situ feel dizzy on the spot.

No, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

You want me to come forward to recommend your father to be promoted to a noble position, and then the price you pay is for your son to marry my adopted daughter who has been raising me in the house.

Why don't you think you guys have paid nothing?

I finally understand what win-win means. It turns out that your Cao family wins twice, and I, Wang Yun, lose both times.

still have a question.

How do you know that there is a woman named Diao Chan in my house?

It seems that I have never made this matter public, not to mention that Diao Chan has always lived in seclusion and only stayed in his own small place. Even the servants in the house, most of them don't know Diao Chan exists.

So how did Cao Ang know?

Wang Yun looked around, scanning left and right, and finally fixed his scattered eyes on the wall outside the hall.

Could this guy have ripped off the walls of my house?

Yes, this possibility is quite high. I have long heard rumors that Cao Cao did a lot of shitty things when he was young.

I followed Yuan Shao and made a lot of noise all day long. I even did things like steal the bride. Isn’t it childish to peel off the wall and take a peek?

This wave, this wave is a son inheriting his father’s legacy!

Wang Situ suddenly felt a little panicked.

Tomorrow, no, today!

After sending Cao and his son away later, we will immediately call the craftsmen to raise the wall of Situ Mansion one foot higher. We also need to paint the outer wall smoother. Let's see how you can peel it off in the future!

…………

After finally regaining his composure and clearing away all the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Wang Yun finally calmed down.

After suffering a series of attacks from whimsical thoughts, I was able to calm down in such a short period of time. I am worthy of being regarded as a great man and a senior figure in the political world.

Seeing Cao Ang's smiling expression now, Wang Yun didn't like it at first sight. He had clearly found this boy's handsome face quite comfortable to look at before.

He forced a smile.

Wang Yun said in a somewhat sinister tone: "If Zixiu comes up with a suitable candidate, I will really believe it. You are sincerely planning to use marriage."

"But since you are talking about Diaochan, in my opinion, you are just trying to get benefits and people with one hand. Zixiu is really a good calculator!"
