Cao Cao was basically a follower in the early stages.
Nominally speaking, he was also a descendant of a noble clan.
However, the descendants of the aristocratic families were also divided into three, six, and nine grades. For example, Yuan Shao was at the level of a superstar.
Cao Cao was a descendant of the eunuch Cao Teng, so he was a head shorter than others.
In addition, his father, Cao Song, might be ranked as one of the three dukes, but that was bought with money. It was extremely embarrassing in the aristocratic circle.
Most of the aristocratic children looked down on Cao Cao.
In addition, Cao Cao did not even have a territory. Who would be interested in the thousands of people he recruited from his hometown?
……
As for Ma Feng, he had stopped and walked from Luoyang to Chang 'an.
There were too many people and they were moving too slowly.
However, Ma Feng did not stay idle either. He let Lei Ao lead the army while he wandered around.
Wandering around? Find Cai Yong to chat.
Cai Yong's official position wasn't low. He was a minister, and before moving the capital, he was appointed as a general.
Cai Yong was in charge of everything along the way, and he had the final say on whether to leave or stop.
Dong Zhuo led his troops in Luoyang and didn't leave with the main force.
"Minister Cai, I heard that you have a talented woman in your family. I wonder if she is currently married?”
Ma Feng was not polite at all. He licked his big face and asked directly.
"General, are you talking about my daughter Cai Yan?”
"Yes, yes. I heard of Cai's reputation in Luoyang.”
"We haven't gotten married yet, but the Wei family of the east of the river intends to marry me. They say they want my daughter to marry their eldest son, Wei Zhongdao.”Cai Yong said.
"Minister Cai, you can't agree. That Wei Zhongdao has a short life and is ill with consumption.”
"Hmm? A short-lived ghost? You know Wei Zhongdao?"
"Ah, ah, I've seen him before. I heard that Wei Zhongdao's health has been poor since he was young. One look and you can tell that he doesn't have a long life. Minister Cai, you can't agree to it, or else your daughter will be harmed.”
"Then I really have to do a good job. This Wei family is also a famous aristocratic family, starting with Wei Qing. If it's really as you said, it's really a pity for this marriage.”Cai Yong said regretfully.
In the Han Dynasty, the big families often exchanged what they needed, married, and took masters. These methods were used to strengthen the ties between the families.
Cai Yong was a famous scholar, calligrapher, and writer, so there were many people who proposed marriage.
As a famous family in the east of the river, the Wei family was considered one of the best.
"Minister Cai, what do you think of me?”Ma Feng suddenly asked.
"General is young and promising.”
"Then how about marrying your daughter to me?”Ma Feng asked shamelessly.
Cough cough, Cai Yong almost choked on Ma Feng's words. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such shameless people.
Since ancient times, marriage had always been the order of the parents. How could he say it himself?
"Minister Cai thinks I'm not worthy? I'm also Ma Yuan's descendant. Although I can't say that my family background is illustrious, it's not bad, right?”
"No, no, it's my daughter who isn't worthy of you. General, what are you saying? Let's hurry on and talk about this in the future.”
Ma Feng's ears were also very good. He heard the voices of women in the carriage behind him.
"This Ma Bo Yun is really shameless. How can he say such a thing in public?”A woman said.
"Mother, keep your voice down. Don't let the outside hear you.”
"So what if I heard it? I want him to hear me."
Not only did Ma Feng hear it, Cai Yong also heard it.
"Cough cough, General, it's better to lead the way. My wife is direct, don't forget to take it to heart.”Cai Yong said, somewhat embarrassed.
"It's okay. I like such a direct mother-in-law.”Ma Feng smiled and left.
After Ma Feng left, Cai Yong was still thinking about how to address his mother-in-law. Why had he never heard of it before?
At night, the group was stationed in Hongnong.
Liu Xie and his group naturally stayed there, but Ma Feng was in a worse situation. He needed to station outside the city and lead troops to protect the city gate.
In the middle of the night, Ma Feng sneaked into the city and found Cai Yong's residence.
He exerted force on his feet and flipped inside.
There was only one place in the entire residence that was lit up, and there was music coming from it.
After Ma Feng sneaked over, he saw a woman in the room through the window. She was playing a musical instrument and singing a tune. It was very pleasant to the ears.
Ma Feng opened the window and saw the woman inside.
She was 28 years old, dressed in a pink dress, and was staring intently at the instrument in her hand.
It was about 1.6 meters tall and very small.
Her long black hair was messy, and her small face was very delicate.
Especially that pair of bright eyes, clear and bright like the stars, full of spirit.
"You're indeed a great beauty.”Ma Feng muttered.
"Hmm? Who's outside?"
Ma Feng didn't expect to be heard. Moreover, Cai Yan had already stood up and walked over.
Cai Yan pushed open the window and was shocked to see Ma Feng.
"Who are you?" Cai Yan was frightened and took half a step back as he asked.
"Cough cough, miss, if I say I was just strolling by, would you believe me?”Ma Feng said awkwardly.
"Are you Ma Bo Yun?" Cai Yan frowned and asked.
During the day, Cai Yan saw Ma Feng through the gap in the carriage. With the help of the moonlight, he recognized Ma Feng at a glance.
"That's right. Young Lady has good eyesight. I was patrolling when I heard your singing and couldn't help but be attracted. I couldn't help but walk in.”
"You like music too?"
"Yes, I like it too, but I don't like your kind. I like to compose my own music and lyrics. It's very different from your tune.”
Ma Feng's words aroused Cai Yan's curiosity. For a moment, she hesitated, not knowing what to do.
