Chapter 196

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

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

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

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

In every aspect.

Everyone is busy flying about; how could he let a business talent like Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang sit idle?

"Eh? Is that okay?"

Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang asked with some surprise.

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

Su Xuan nodded with a smile.

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

Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang immediately nodded and agreed.

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

Although she was not prepared to fight for anything, she felt it was very necessary to increase her value in Su Xuan's heart.

"Haha! Good!"

Zhen Yi, who was on the side, saw this and stroked his beard with a smile.

It seems Su Xuan really values his Jiang'er!

This is very good.

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

In Xiangyang County, Nanjun, 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 Deng County?"

"Hmm? Yes!"

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly nodded: "I have heard quite a bit; he is now the Nanjun Prefecture Governor and concurrently the General Who Guards the South!"

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

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

"In the past, he was rather weak and frail, knew nothing of martial arts, and his writing seemed average as well;"

"I heard he had a serious illness and suddenly became enlightened; 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 there; what else could be 'true' or 'not true'?"

Cai Feng heard this, glared at Cai Mao, and said: "He has repeatedly achieved military merit on the battlefield and returned unscathed, which proves his martial prowess is not low;"

"Additionally, that 'Thousand Character Classic' is also very outstanding and is definitely of a world-class level. If it wasn't written by him, who would be willing to give such a piece of writing 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 became enlightened?

His own son, who is neither here nor there, really gives Cai Feng a headache.

He still hasn't grasped the key point.

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

"That's true!"

Cai Mao completely failed to grasp the point. Hearing his father's words, he nodded in agreement, then asked puzzledly: "So, Father, why did you call me here?"

"Could it be 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 climb high enough to do it 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 and said confusedly: "He is now the Nanjun Prefecture Governor and General Who Guards the South; it's already a bit hard for us to climb high, and he doesn't seem to be lacking anything, right?"

"Eh..."

Suddenly, Cai Mao thought of something and immediately looked at his father to suggest: "Father, isn't my second sister already at the age to get married?"

"You were even worried that she was reluctant to get married;"

"Doesn't she hope to find a heroic figure who is skilled in both literature and martial arts to marry?"

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

"As long as we marry my 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 becomes his brother-in-law, wouldn't he be able to hug Su Xuan's thigh and become successful in the future?

Thinking of this, Cai Mao felt excited.

"You scoundrel!"

However, Cai Feng heard this and pointed at Cai Mao's nose, scolding angrily: "That Su Xuan is already betrothed to a daughter of the Xun Clan, and the primary wife will certainly be the Xun Clan daughter. 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 don't want face, but I, your father, still do!"

He, Cai Feng, is at least a great Confucian of his generation, a person with 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 disagreed: "Why don't you ask my second sister? How do you know she isn't willing?"

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

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

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

"In the time we've been talking here, perhaps quite a few people have already started taking action!"

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

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

The key problem has never been with them, okay?

He knows his second sister's temper very well.

Very strong-willed.

He hasn't been bullied less by his second sister since he was a child; he is quite afraid of her.

Cai Feng heard this and for a moment forgot to scold Cai Mao, instead falling into silence.

"Sigh!"

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

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

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

He is really quite stupid most of the time.

He can't consider many things at all.

His literary and martial abilities are both mediocre.

But can 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 may not be a bad method.

"Perhaps, you are right!"
