Chapter 38: Taking a Concubine

Kuai Ying laughed, but her face turned dark. She walked to the bookshelf, looked at the books on the bookshelf but did not reach out to marry them. After a long time, she sighed and said, "Xiao Yu'er, I am not as blessed as you, so don't be happy with me."

Seeing her sadness, Cai Ji leaned closer to her and advised, "Oh, I'm not talking to you, my husband... I'm kind-hearted. You may be really useful to ask him for help. How dare that boy Zhang Yun refute the face of my young master? Are you willing to be his seventh concubine?"

"How can I be willing to do it? My mother is a concubine. I was inferior to others when I was born. How could I still want to be a concubine? But my family was originally a Kuai family. It was a blessing to marry someone who could marry someone who had no worries about food and clothing. How could I think about it more?" Kuai Ying sighed leisurely and sat aside in a fascination. "The Cao family is powerful. Your future husband is a young man and become famous again. Even if you get married, it will be my turn. To be honest, I would rather marry a small family and be a private family than a concubine in this wealthy family."

"It's okay to find a small family, at least he can take you seriously and not show you the face." Cai Ji couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his aunt and sister who married into the Liu family. Speaking of which, they were lucky. Liu Biao and Liu Cong were both gentle people, but they were also unlucky. Liu Biao was nearly forty years older than his aunt, and Liu Cong was a useless person. Now that Jingzhou has surrendered to the court, I don't know what his fate will be.

"Hmph!" Kuai Ying curled her lips and said, "It's a pity that I can only think about these things. The head of the family will decide our marriage. I'd better take advantage of your time to read some good books. When you go to Yecheng, I can't even find someone to talk to. After entering the Zhang family's door, I live honestly, hoping that it would be good if I don't get beaten to death."

When Cai Ji heard this, he frowned and suddenly thought of something. He leaned into Kuai Ying's ear and said a few words. Kuai Ying thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and nodded heavily.

Cai Mao's movements were very fast. After obtaining Cao Cao's permission, he only took more than ten days to complete all the procedures he should follow. Although he was taking a concubine, he handled it according to the specifications of his wife. Anyway, he paid for it, and Cao Cao was willing to sell him for face and was too lazy to take care of it. The wedding banquet was held in the manor outside the Cai family city. The well-known people in Jingzhou received invitations, and the grand banquet made the huge manor very lively.

Cao Chong accompanied Cao Cao to drink in the main hall and was pulled out by Cao Zhang and mixed with the military generals. Under Cao Chong's mediation, Zhang Liao and Pang De and Yan Xing had already relieved their face and could sit together to drink. They were sitting together talking about the war a few days ago. Seeing the groom Cao Chong being held over by Cao Zhang's waist, they burst into laughter. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others were naturally unable to go forward and make trouble because of their identity. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they formed a gang to go to the lobby to drink with the literati. As soon as they left, Zhang Hu and the young people let go, and they all quarreled around Cao Chong and insisted on getting him drunk so that he could not get into the quarrel.

Cao Chong's face turned red, but he was not afraid of getting into the bridal chamber. He had no plans to get into the bridal chamber today. Cai Ji and he were only thirteen years old and had not developed at all. The bridal chamber was still early. He was a modern person with physiological education. Of course, he knew the benefits and the more important thing was that he didn't want to be a father at the age of fourteen or five.

So he let go of his courage and sucked hard. No matter who came to toast, he would refuse everyone. The atmosphere was very lively for a moment. He suddenly saw Zhang Quan and Zhang Zhengqing accompanying Yan Xing and saying something. He picked up a glass of wine, walked up to him, raised his glass of wine and said, "Zhengqing, today is my festive day. How about a drink?"

Zhang Quan was stunned and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that everyone around was looking at him, Xu Yi and Dianman had already put down their wine glasses and looked at him intently. Before he could think of how to speak, Cao Zhang shook over and hugged his shoulder and said, "Zhengqing, my Cang Shu didn't offend you. Besides, he was very happy today. You have to give face no matter what, otherwise, I, Cao Zhang, wouldn't agree today."

Zhang Quan smiled, he raised his wine glass with both hands and bowed to Cao Chong: "Zhang Quan thanked the young master." Then he drank it all in one go.

"Yes, he's like a man." Cao Zhang laughed loudly, and also clinked his glass with Cao Chong, tilted his neck and drank it clean, but he was obviously a little drunk, and half of the wine was poured on his chest.

"Please wait, young master." Zhang Quan called out Cao Chong, who was about to turn around, and quickly poured out another glass of wine, rushed to Cao Chong and bowed to him: "Zhang Quan was rude. He offended many times a few days ago. Thanks to the young master's tolerantness, Ziwen was extremely generous and did not care about me. He also recommended me to lead troops to fight in front of the Prime Minister. This time he could have a small achievement, which was given by the young master. Zhang Quan asked the young master to drink this wine, and was willing to follow the young master and serve the work of a dog or a horse."

When Cao Chong heard this, his heart was irritated. He glanced around and laughed, "Zhengqing's words are wrong. We are all under the Prime Minister's account. It is not my credit to him when he is driven by His Majesty. However, if I have the chance, I really want to ask Zhengqing's key to the technique of attacking the slaughter immediately. Lord Ling Zun is known as the number one master in the North. Zhengqing must have many unique skills."

When Zhang Quan heard this, he smiled and said with a smile: "Young Master has something to say, Quan dares not obey orders."

"Okay, one word is certain." Cao Chong laughed and patted Zhang Quan on the shoulder meaningfully.

Xiahou Shang saw him and shook his head secretly. Of course, he knew that what Zhang Quan said was not about learning the spear method, but he had no choice. Cao Pi forced Zhang Xiu to death for Cao Ang's affairs, so Zhang Quan naturally would not have any good feelings for him. Cang Shu is very popular now, so it is natural for Zhang Quan to join his disciples. He has a good relationship with Cao Pi and is optimistic about Cao Pi, but Cao Chong had just saved his life in Changbanpo. For a moment, he couldn't understand what to express. Looking at the young players who were chatting and laughing with Cao Chong, he felt a sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart.

He picked up a glass of wine and came to Cao Chong, blinked and smiled deliberately, "Cang Shu, I just accepted two girls a few days ago, and now I am marrying a bride. But I have to arrange the time and not favor one or the other." As he said that, he laughed strangely.

Cao Chong called him and said nothing more. The two looked at each other and smiled, but the meaning was very different. The Mi sisters did not find their family, and now they followed Cao Chong, just a maid serving him, without the meaning of Xiahou Shang.

"Everyone, listen to me." Seeing that the young generals around him were not far apart, Cao Chong let go and shouted: "Everyone let go today. If you don't drink enough today, it doesn't matter. After the aunt of the Dian family arrives in Xiangyang in a few days, Ziqian will also welcome the bride and is still in this Cai family manor. I will invite everyone to drink it at that time."

When everyone heard him say this, they were confused for a moment. They all turned their eyes to Dianman. Dianman's face turned red and turned to escape, but were grabbed by Xu Yi. Xu Yi laughed and said, "Don't let Ziqian go. The young master is a matchmaker for him and married the beauty of the Kuai family. Haven't you seen him talk about it these two days? Don't wait. Today, while the young master's wine is not limited, everyone will pour Ziqian down first."

It turned out that Cai Ji told Cao Chong about Kuai Ying. When Cao Chong heard that the pretty beautiful beauty was going to marry Zhang Yun as a concubine, and was the seventh concubine, he immediately became a knight. However, what he thought was not to take it himself, but to find a wife for Dian Man who had always cared about his heart. So he told Cai Ji, Cai Ji stroking his hands and laughing. She told Kuai Ying that she knew that Cao Chong had this concern. Although Kuai Ying saw that Dian Man was not a wealthy family, he was a beloved general around Cao Chong. The Dian family had a deep relationship with the Cao family, and Dian Man had good martial arts. Now he studied with Zhou Buyi. He thought that his future would be good, so he agreed. As for Dian Man, he could marry the daughter of the Kuai family, even if he was a concubine from the branch clan, he was overjoyed. What's more, Cao Chong came forward personally, so there was no reason to dislike him. He responded immediately.

Seeing that the man and woman agreed, Cao Chong excitedly arrived at the Zhang Mansion. Zhang Yun didn't take it seriously. A concubine, let alone not to mention not being married, could be given away even if she got married. Now Cao Chong came to the door in person to say that he could not be faced, so he naturally agreed. The Kuai family was also extremely happy. Unexpectedly, a daughter who gave her a concubine could be the wife of the Cao family's beloved general. She quickly agreed and immediately sent someone to pick up Dianman's mother. There was no need for Dianman to worry about everything. Cai Mao even generously agreed to borrow a small courtyard for Dianman. If Dianman hadn't refused to refuse, he would have wished he would have given the small courtyard to Dianman.

When everyone heard such a beautiful thing, they were reluctant to let Dian Man go. Although it was Cao Chong's big day, Cao Chong could not get him drunk when he was young, but Dian Man had no worries and surrounded him, attacking him in groups until he put Dian Man down.

Dianman was finally carried out. Xu Yi smiled and sent the drunk Cao Chong into the new house, and then arranged for a guard. He took four tiger soldiers to listen to the corner while preventing others from eavesdropping on the corner. The four tiger soldiers naturally stood outside the door, while the newly joined Wei Yan took his 100 divisions to defend the second level. However, Wei Yan did not have the qualifications of Xu Yi, and looked at a group of indecent guys huddled outside the door and laughed strangely, but he could not coax them all away. Which one of them stood up here was not three points bigger than him? How could he have a background that was not thicker than him?

Cao Chong entered the room, and Cai Ji was sitting quietly beside the couch with a red veil. Seeing Cao Chong twisting his big yangge in, the Mi sisters couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckled. They hurriedly came up to help him walk to Cai Ji. Mi Dashuang handed over a bamboo pole. Cao Chong grabbed it several times but didn't hold it. Mi Dashuang smiled and stuffed the bamboo pole into his hand. He was worried that he accidentally didn't pick up the red veil and instead scratched Cai Ji's pretty face like jade. So he held Cao Chong's right hand tightly with both hands and carefully picked off the veil.

Seeing Cao Chong's drunken eyes, Cai Ji looked at him with some pain, got up and helped him sit down, took the tea bowl from his hands and said, "It would be better to drink this. This is the secret recipe for the sister of the Kuai family. If she hadn't thanked her husband for her great kindness, she wouldn't have saved her from taking it out."
