Chapter 118

"Recently, with the relocation of workshops and the expansion of scale, Su Yu is almost too busy to handle it. He has been complaining to me lately about the lack of manpower!"

"Besides, didn't Uncle plan to set up a branch of the Zhen Chamber of Commerce here to cooperate with the Su Chamber of Commerce?"

"You are very familiar with the Zhen clan, so you can act as a mediator. How about it?"

He was truly short of people under his command right now.

In every aspect.

Everyone was busy flying around, how could he let a commercial talent like Zhen Jiang sit idle?

"Eh? Is that okay?"

Zhen Jiang asked with some surprise.

"Naturally! I couldn't ask for more!"

Su Xuan nodded with a smile.

"Good! As long as I can help you!"

Zhen Jiang immediately nodded and agreed.

The position of the primary wife had nothing to do with her, but if she could help Su Xuan commercially, wouldn't that also raise her position in Su Xuan's heart?

Although she didn't plan to fight for anything, she felt it was still very necessary to increase her value in Su Xuan's heart.

"Haha! Good!"

Zhen Yi, who was to the side, saw this and stroked his beard, smiling.

It seems Su Xuan truly values his Jiang'er!

This is good.

He didn't have to worry about Zhen Jiang being neglected.

In Xiangyang County, Nan Commandery, at the Cai mansion,

Cai Feng called his son, Cai Mao, and asked: "Do you know about the matter of Su Xuan of the Su clan in Dengxian?"

"Hmm? Hmm!"

Cai Mao was stunned at first, then quickly nodded: "I have heard quite a bit. He is now the Governor of Nan Commandery and General who Suppresses the South!"

"Good fellow, this kid is really amazing! To have reached such a height in just half a year;"

"How come I didn't notice he had this talent before?"

"In the past, he was rather weak, didn't understand martial arts at all, and his writing didn't seem to be anything special;"

"I heard he had a serious illness and suddenly had an epiphany. I don't know if it's true."

Cai Mao looked sighing and puzzled.

Of course, there was also envy and jealousy.

Why couldn't such a good thing happen to him?

"The facts are right there, what is there to doubt?"

Cai Feng glared at Cai Mao upon hearing this: "He was able to repeatedly establish military merit on the battlefield and return unscathed, which proves his martial prowess is not low;"

"Additionally, that 'Thousand Character Classic' is also very outstanding, definitely of a level that will be passed down through the ages. If it wasn't written by him, who would be willing to give such an article to him to let him become famous?"

"Su Lie? He doesn't have this literary talent."

Is it really that hard to believe that someone had an epiphany?

His own son, who was neither high nor low, really gave Cai Feng a headache.

Up to now, he still hadn't grasped the key point.

Did he call him here to discuss whether Su Xuan's talent was real or fake?

"That is true!"

Cai Mao didn't grasp the point at all. Hearing his father's words, he nodded in agreement, then asked puzzledly: "So, Father, why did you call me here?"

"Is it to win over this Su Xuan?"

"Otherwise?"

Cai Feng glared at Cai Mao irritably and scolded: "The Su family, with Su Xuan, has completely risen!"

"Our family and the Su family have been in-laws for generations. If we don't choose to place a bet on him now, are we going to wait until we can't even climb high enough to reach him later?"

Just like this, how could he feel at ease handing the Cai family over to Cai Mao?

"Uh.... then how should we win him over?"

Cai Mao scratched the back of his head, confused: "He is already the Governor of Nan Commandery and General who Suppresses the South. It's already a bit hard for us to climb high, and he doesn't seem to be lacking anything?"

"Eh..."

Suddenly, Cai Mao thought of something and immediately looked at his father, suggesting: "Father, isn't Second Sister already at the age to be married?"

"You were even worried that she was delaying getting married;"

"Doesn't she hope to find a hero who is both civil and martial to marry?"

"Doesn't this Su Xuan fit her requirements perfectly?"

"As long as we marry Second Sister to Su Xuan, then we will be in-laws with Su Xuan. Do we still need to worry about the problem of winning him over?"

"By then, we will be one family. What do you think?"

The more Cai Mao spoke, the more he felt he had come up with a good idea.

Marriage is much better than any winning over.

Moreover, if Su Xuan became his brother-in-law, wouldn't he be able to hug Su Xuan's thigh and soar to success in the future?

Thinking of this, Cai Mao felt excited.

"You scoundrel!"

However, Cai Feng pointed at Cai Mao's nose and scolded angrily: "That Su Xuan is already betrothed to a woman of the Xun clan, and the primary wife will inevitably be the Xun woman. With our Cai family's background and your Second Sister, how could we possibly compete with the Xun clan?"

"Do you want your Second Sister to be a concubine for that Su Xuan?"

"You have no shame, but I, your father, still want some!"

He, Cai Feng, is at least a great Confucian of his generation, a person of status. How could he let his daughter be a concubine for someone?

Even if that person is Su Xuan, it won't do.

"What's wrong with being a concubine?"

However, Cai Mao was unimpressed: "Why don't you ask Second Sister? How do you know she isn't willing?"

"As for face or whatever, we already want to curry favor with others, so why care about face?"

"Aren't we all going to have to bow our heads to them?"

"Besides, even if we aren't willing, there are probably plenty of people right now who are willing to send the women of their families to Su Xuan as concubines;"

"While we are talking here, perhaps many people have already started acting!"

"This is the concubine of the Governor of Nan Commandery and General who Suppresses the South. He is also the Marquis of Duxiang. The key is that Su Xuan is only 17 years old. Who knows what height he can reach in the future?"

"Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong with it! The premise is that Second Sister is willing."

The key problem was never with them, okay?

He knew his Second Sister's temper very well.

Very strong-willed.

He had been bullied by his Second Sister since he was a child, and he was quite afraid of her.

Cai Feng fell into silence, forgetting to scold Cai Mao for a moment.

"Sigh!"

After a long time, he sighed and said: "I didn't expect that I, Cai Feng, would one day face such a situation;"

Saying this, he looked at Cai Mao with a complex expression.

This son of his, if you say he is smart?

He is really quite stupid most of the time.

He can't consider many things at all.

His civil and martial abilities are both mediocre.

But if you say he is truly stupid to the point of being useless?

That's not the case either.

Just like just now, he can occasionally come up with some amazing ideas.

Although, in Cai Feng's view, this idea still seems a bit stupid.

But sometimes, a stupid method is not necessarily a bad method.

"Perhaps, you are right!"
