Forty-seven Once a marriage contract is made, it must be kept

With the reshuffle of the eunuchs' power, the Cao family's power was also affected, and its influence on the government was not as good as before.

Guo Peng's fame has risen and he has become the most admired by everyone. The future is bright, and Cao Song can't sit still.

Although this is the scene he is looking forward to and he really hopes that Guo Peng will become famous, but now that this is true, he is not at ease.

If Guo Peng does not want to fulfill his engagement, there is a way, and Cao Song has no doubt about this.

Cao's family is not as good as before. If Guo Peng did not want to fulfill his engagement, Cao Song would not even know what to do.

Only then did he realize that he had thought a lot of things too simply.

In September of the second year of Lion, Guo Peng was about to be fifteen years old. It was the time when the three-year agreement expired three years ago. Cao Song couldn't help but start to worry about gains and losses. He wanted to explain this to Guo Peng. He reminded him a little, but found that he did not dare to do so.

What if Guo Peng is unhappy?

In fact, as Cao Song thought, many people have taken a fancy to Guo Peng's fame and future, and are dissatisfied with the fact that he already has a engagement.

Especially the fact that the engagement dealer was the Cao family was even more dissatisfied with many people, and they even wanted to help Guo Peng operate it to help him save Cao family from worrying.

During this period, Lu Zhi was doing business in the morning and deliberately or unintentionally hearing some friends around him mention this matter, and smiled bitterly. So he took advantage of the time he was teaching Guo Peng's knowledge at home to mention this matter.

What he did not expect was that Guo Peng refused the matter and said that he would fulfill his promise. He would take leave in September to go home, celebrate the ceremony and get married.

And invited Lu Zhi as a witness to attend his crown and wedding.

"You really want to do this?"

Lu Zhi asked him.

"If this is true, once a marriage contract is established, you must abide by it. Students are born as human beings, and faithfulness is the foundation of doing things for others. If a contract is broken, what face does the students have to follow the teacher? How can they learn the principles of saints?"

Lu Zhi understood Guo Peng's will and looked up to him more. He also agreed to attend Guo Peng's invitation to celebrate and wedding.

Afterwards, Lu Zhi also conveyed such news to his friends, telling them that Guo Peng would never break the contract, and that Lu Zhi's friends who are waiting to be called her daughter are not regretful about this.

The news quickly reached Cao Song's ears. Cao Song was surprised inexplicably, but Guo Peng did not say it himself, which made him a little worried.

Seeing that September was about to arrive, Cao Song became more and more anxious. It was not until July 15 that Guo Peng brought some gifts to visit Cao Song.

"Brother-in-law, September 15th is coming in two months. The marriage between son-in-law and Alan is almost time to prepare, right?"

Seeing Guo Peng taking the initiative to mention this matter to him with a smile on his face, Cao Song suddenly felt that his efforts had been rewarded enough.

September 15th is Guo Peng's birthday. Three years ago, the Guo family and the Cao family agreed that three years later, when Guo Peng turns 15, he will perform the crown ceremony, give the words and add the crown, and then hold his wedding with Cao Lan.

In order to adapt to the needs of social and marriage, it is not uncommon for aristocratic men to perform their pre-champions, and Guo Peng is not an exception. Now the three-year period is approaching, and it is time to fulfill the engagement.

Cao Song was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to his hometown Qiao County to inform his family that he would start preparing for the wedding of Guo Peng and Cao Lan.

Guo Peng also wrote a letter to send it home, asking Guo Shan to handle it on his behalf. He would rush home a few days before the ceremony. Before that, he would continue to study and proofread books in Dongguan.

The news came back to the Cao family in Qiao County. A big rock in the heart of the Cao family finally landed. Everyone ran around happily and then mobilized the power of the clan to prepare for the wedding.

Originally, the Cao family lost their positions because Cao Chi and Cao Cao successively lost their positions, and the Song family's relatives were exterminated, and only Cao Song in the family still insisted in the court. This year, I heard that Guo Peng had done many major things in the court and his fame increased greatly, but he had never heard of the wedding for a long time and was worried that things would change.

At that time, many of the family members were worried that Guo Peng would break the contract. Cao Cao, who was living at home and studying, refused to agree and stood up and said that Guo Peng was not such a person and he would definitely fulfill the engagement.

On July 21st, news from Cao Song came, and the Cao family was happy. They called together with Xiahou to prepare for the wedding. They decided to have a lively and would definitely not embarrass Guo Peng.

After Guo Peng's letter was delivered to Guo Dan's hand, Guo Dan read the letter carefully and then sighed a long sigh.

"Why did your husband sigh?"

Yang poured water for Guo Dan on the side. When he saw Guo Dan sighing, he asked carefully.

Since the news that Guo Peng was harshly agitated in Luoyang came out, Yang was a little afraid of Guo Peng, thinking that Guo Peng must be a high-ranking official in the future and the one who holds authority in his hands, he did not dare to gossip when he thought of this.

"Xiao Yi wrote to me that he would go home in September, perform the ceremony, and then formally marry Cao's daughter, and then return to Luoyang to continue his studies."

Guo Shan put down the bamboo slips and said slowly.

"This... isn't this a good thing? Now Dalang is already a disciple of Duke Lu. With Duke Lu's care, isn't the future career clear?"

Yang felt a little strange.

"Of course this is true, but the more I feel, the more I regret it. I didn't choose a good girl for Xiao Yi to marry, but chose Cao."

"This...this thing has come to this point, I'm afraid it's..."

Seeing his wife's embarrassing expression, Guo Dan waved his hand.

"It's not that I blame Cao. This marriage has been confirmed. I'm blaming myself."

After saying that, Guo Shan never mentioned this matter and handled county affairs every day. When someone came to ask, he replied that Cao did not ask, and he did not participate. Anyway, he did not pay any less money.

This matter was mainly handled by Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao family boys were also busy helping each other. The relatives of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan took action and invited relatives and friends to prepare for the wedding banquet.

According to Cao Song's standards, at that time, the entire Qiao County will have to set up a table of water, and the whole county will be asked to eat, and the more people there are, the more lively it will be.

The more people you bless, the more face the Cao family will be, the happier Guo Peng will be, and the smoother the marriage will be.

In early September, Guo Peng filed a leave of absence to the Ph.D. of Imperial College, went home to celebrate the ceremony and get married, and embarked on the way home with Zang Hong, who was about to come back with him.

On September 7, Guo Peng and Zang Hong arrived in Qiao County.

Guo Peng first went home to meet his father and introduced Zang Hong to his father. Then he went to the Cao family with Zang Hong. He met the Cao family and Xiahou family friends who were busy organizing their marriages.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Guo Peng also felt that he missed him. He gave them the gift he brought back from Luoyang and introduced Zang Hong to them for their understanding. So he let them run around and run around and was pulled by Cao Cao to Cao's study to speak.

"Xiao Yi, I have heard of what happened to you in Luoyang."

Cao Cao spoke with a nervous expression on his face and said, "You are so bold. Yang Qiu is the captain of Sili, and he holds the power of his hand. You actually fight him directly?"

"So what? Brother, why haven't you ever faced Jian Shuo?"

Guo Peng said with a smile.

"I'm...I have a clear idea in my heart, but you are different. Yangqiu really can kill people."

"Even so, I have to do this. Mr. Cai has great kindness to me. It is not something I can do when he sees Mr. Cai suffers and fails to do anything."

Guo Peng said seriously: "Even if I lose my life, I will still seek justice for Mr. Cai and repay his kindness to me."

Cao Cao sighed very much when he heard this.

"Xiao Yi, in terms of morality, I am not as good as you!"

Guo Peng was stunned for a moment, just smiled and didn't say anything.

After coming out of Cao Cao's house, Guo Peng reminisced about the past with his friends and accepted inquiries from the Cao family and the Xiahou elders. They all greeted them, fully demonstrating the communication skills they learned in Luoyang.

Later, I had supper with a group of people before returning home with Zang Hong.

He arranged a residence for Zang Hong and asked his servants to serve Zang Hong to sleep. Guo Peng returned to his room and changed his clothes, and then came to Guo Dan's study.

Guo Shan didn't sleep and was waiting for Guo Peng in the study.

"Xiao Yi, what you did in Luoyang is too thrilling."

Because of the slow spread of information, Guo Shan experienced various very complex emotions in the past few months.

"Father, the son has no choice. If he doesn't do this, the son will have no place to stand. This time, he will just be killed and born."

Guo Shan also understood Guo Peng's situation, knew the society's pursuit and importance to loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness, and knew the power of political correctness.

However, as a father, although he values ​​power, he does not even care about his son at all.

"well……"

Guo Dan stood up, walked to Guo Peng, and said, "You're so miserable."

"Don't make trouble for the family."
