Chapter 304: Chance Encounter
After talking to his parents, Cao Liang was sleepless all night and was so depressed that he couldn't sleep.
This is a clash of ancient and modern ideas, and there is almost no room for reconciliation.
But this is his parents and relatives, Cao Liang can't use all his means like he did with Sima Shi, the only way is to know reason, move with emotion, and try to persuade them as much as possible.
But in the face of Cao Yan, who does not enter the oil and salt, Cao Liang really has a headache, reasonable? In this day and age, is there still a place for reason?
However, no matter what, Cao Liang will not give up, this relationship is not easy to come by, Yang Huiyu's compassionate expectation is a spur to Cao Liang, no matter what, it is impossible for him to live up to Yang Huiyu's feelings.
Although it is a compromise to say that Yang Huiyu is a concubine, it is difficult for Cao Liang to accept, not to mention what Yang Huiyu thinks, whether the Taishan Goat family agrees or not, Cao Liang's own heart is still unable to overcome this hurdle after all.
What to do? Cao Liang thought about it all night, but he didn't come up with any good way, and when he got up in the morning, his mind was also muddy and his mind was in a trance.
This morning, Cao Liang didn't go out to run and exercise, this is probably the first time he has been lazy in recent years, even Fang Bu, who has been guarding his outhouse and got up early, is secretly strange, but Fang Bu has always remained silent and golden, and he ignores any behavior of Cao Liang, he only needs to be Cao Liang's guard strictly, he is indifferent to anything else, and he will not take the initiative to inquire about anything.
After Cao Liang got up, he stretched out boredly, most of his military career for half a year, there was really no day that could be so comfortable.
It's just that at this moment, Cao Liang's heart is gloomy, and he has not become more relaxed because he can relax.
Yahuan brought him water to wash his face, the water was neither lukewarm nor cold, just right, Cao Liang wiped his face indiscriminately, changed his clothes, and went straight to his parents' residence.
Anyway, Cao Liang decided to have a good talk with his parents and make a final effort to let them understand his heart.
And Cao Liang also planned that when talking to his father, he should try to restrain his emotions and avoid the two sides from going to each other again.
But Cao Liang seemed to be late, he only saw his mother Liu Ying, and did not see his father Cao Yan.
"Your father rushed to the barracks early in the morning...... Liu Ying said.
Cao Liang was speechless, it seemed that he didn't get up early enough, Cao Yan was already one step ahead. But it shouldn't be avoiding him, after all, the three men and horses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion have just returned to the camp, and the Xiao Cavalry Camp does have a lot of affairs waiting for Cao Yan to deal with.
Liu Ying comforted him and said: "Liang'er, don't worry, go back and find a time, and have a good talk with your father, in fact, your father is still very concerned about you, during your expedition, he has been worried about your safety, every time there is a war report in Huainan, even if it is late at night, he will get up to see, knowing that you are safe and sound, he can sleep with peace of mind." Last night, I chatted with your father for a long time, in fact, he didn't have any evil thoughts about Yang Huiyu, but she used to be Sima Yi's wife, and now Sima Yi is in a high position, if you really marry her, you will make a strong enemy for no reason, such an opponent as the Sima family, we still try not to provoke it. β
Cao Liang smiled dumbly, in fact, many things, Cao Liang was afraid that his parents would worry, so he deliberately concealed it, and now the grudge between him and the Sima family has reached the point of endless death, whether he marries Yang Huiyu or not, this contradiction is impossible to resolve.
When he was in Luoyang last year, the Sima family had sent assassins to assassinate him, and this time he went on an expedition, and the Sima family designed several times to borrow the hand of Wu Guo to get rid of him, in short, Cao Liang and the Sima family had completely formed a deep hatred, and it was the kind of grudge that did not share the sky.
If the Sima family launched a coup d'Γ©tat, the first head they wanted was not Cao Shuang but Cao Liang's.
Therefore, Cao Liang doesn't have to think about the feelings of the Sima family at all in the matter of marriage, anyway, the seeds of hatred have already been planted, and he doesn't care about one more or less.
Cao Liang couldn't say this kind of thing to Liu Ying, lest she be more frightened, anyway, the big things in the family had to be nodded by Cao Yan, so Cao Liang didn't say anything more to his mother, and after breakfast together, Cao Liang left the Gaoling Marquis Mansion and wandered aimlessly on the street.
To be honest, no matter what Cao Liang is doing now, he really doesn't have a clue, he plans to meet Xiahou Xuan first, discuss it, and see if Xiahou Xuan can help him.
But when he arrived at Xiahou Mansion, it was unfortunate that Xiahou Xuan was not in the mansion, but went to the palace, it should be Xiahou Xuan who entered the camp to report on his work, Cao Liang's position was low, and this kind of thing naturally couldn't be his turn.
Cao Liang believed in the reins of the horse, unconsciously came to the outside of the city, it was noon, Cao Liang saw a small hotel on the side of the road, he basically did not eat breakfast, at the moment he felt a little hungry in his stomach, simply jumped off the horse, came to this small hotel, first hit the tip and then said.
"Guest officer, how many?" The shopkeeper was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, who saw Cao Liang's luxurious clothes and warmly received him.
"Both." Cao Liang walked in, found a few tables by himself, and sat on the straw mat, "Shopkeeper, bring two jars of wine." β
For some reason, Cao Liang now has an urge to drink.
The shopkeeper responded, quickly took two jars of wine, and served Cao Liang four plates of appetizers, two meat and two vegetables, although it was an ordinary dish, but it was very exquisite.
Cao Liang glanced at the square cloth standing on the side with a knife, smiled, and said, "Come, sit, there are no outsiders today, how about you accompany me for a drink?" β
"I'm sorry, little prince, you know that I never drink." Fang Bu had never drunk alcohol, and as a bodyguard, he needed to stay awake at all times, and drinking alcohol was destined to make a mistake.
Cao Liang shook his head, Fang Bu is such a person, it is difficult for others to change his habits, even if he gives orders, Cao Liang has to pour himself a drink and drink stuffy wine.
There are not too many drinkers in the hotel, and a drinker near the window attracted Cao Liang's attention. And this one is sitting on the ground with his butt crossed, with his legs crossed, looking like a wandering wreck.
He obviously arrived much earlier than Cao Liang, and there were already several empty wine jugs on the table, but he still seemed to be unsatisfied, and shouted loudly for the store to serve wine.
The shopkeeper came over with two more pots, but the guest looked disgusted and shouted, "Go, go, ask your lady to come and pour wine." β
The fat shopkeeper laughed, turned back and ordered his lady to come and serve the wine.
