Guo Peng's diligence and inquisitiveness and willingness to work hard on martial arts, everything fell into the eyes of the Cao family.

I read a lot of books and did not be lazy or lazy in the connection between martial arts. The diligent and hard-working appearance was better than the group of salted fish boys in the Xiahou family of Cao.

Those little salted fish knew that they were stealing and gathering together to play. They had no enterprising ideas or will to do their best in their studies, which gave the Cao family a headache.

But if you should say it or not, the Cao family could not invite famous teachers to teach their family members to learn scriptures. Although they could copy scriptures from the Taixue collection through channels and take them home, it would be another matter whether they would learn or not.

Famous teachers are all gentry figures, famous all over the world and have a high status. If you start your own private school, who will tutor you?

Or a family that has the right to interpret classics, and the family characters personally start family education and teach family children, who cares about your Cao family?

It is hard to get a book for ordinary powerful people, so where can there be a teacher to teach you?

With the status of Cao, I can only invite some more down-and-out single-family children, commonly known as poor children, to come to my family to teach my children's knowledge. Even some self-proclaimed noble children would not look down on Cao's family and would not bother to teach their children's knowledge at all.

However, in this way, it is difficult to control whether you learn well or not, and the knowledge mastered by poor children of the Shan family is simply impossible to compare with the excellent children of the aristocratic family.

This is also the dilemma faced by most powerful families. Transforming from a powerful family to a gentry is not a simple path. Even if you are a high-ranking official in the court, you cannot learn the classics and master the knowledge and cannot transform into a gentry. This power is a passing cloud.

The Cao family made every effort to transform into aristocratic family, but this path was indeed very difficult. Just mastering a book of scriptures passed down by family is an extremely difficult task, let alone establishing a sect.

There are countless losers, and few succeed.

The Sima family of Hanoi was a successful case of the military generals who made their fortune and then transformed their family, but there were too few such cases, which had extremely high requirements for the right time, place, and people.

The Cao family cannot have enough educational resources, smart tribesmen and enough time to complete this self-revolution, so they put their hopes on the option of introducing foreign talents.

In terms of academics, the Cao family is not qualified to judge Guo Peng's level, but in terms of martial arts, Guo Peng is better than Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, so the peers simply admire him, while the older generation has other plans.

All these things about Guo Peng fell into Cao Song's ears at all, and Cao Song's idea of ​​marrying Guo became even stronger.

Just last year, Cao Song went home to visit his relatives, and Guo Shan came to Cao's family to "visit" Shangguan Cao Song. Afterwards, Cao Song took advantage of an occasion to propose marriage to Guo Shan.

Logically speaking, the Shangguan and the Xiaguan should be very happy to propose marriage, but it is different at this time.

Shangguan was born in a humble background, but Xiaguan was born in a century-old gentry, so in fact, the initiative was still in Guo Dan's side. In order not to embarrass himself, Cao Song actually mentioned this matter to Guo Dan alone in private.

He learned Cao Teng's philosophy of life, which made Guo Shan feel very comfortable, and did not think Cao Song was aggressive.

Cao Song has been talking about this for a while. Cao Song went back after visiting him for a while. Guo Shan was undecided until Guo Peng found out about this matter, he expressed his willingness to Guo Shan.

The reason why Guo Dan hesitated was of course that the Cao family made a fortune by eunuchs. The turbid current and status in the turbid current were too poor. Although the efforts of the two generations of people increased the social status of the Cao family, it was still far behind that of the Guo family.

However, because of the cases of Tang Heng and Xun, people often use this case as an example to endorse their actions.

Guo Peng took advantage of this loophole and made Guo Shan make up his mind.

If you have a name but no reality, you will starve to death sooner or later. Now some people are willing to change their name with reality. Why does Guo Dan still have to hold the vague and ethereal "name" without doing it?

There is really nothing else to take to the table in the Guo family.

The Guo family wanted the power of the Cao family, and the Cao family needed the identity of the Guo family, so one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. The two families thought of going together and got together.

Guo Shan sent a matchmaker to the Cao family to invite a marriage. When the Cao clan learned about it, he was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to Luoyang to inform Cao Song that the sent people rushed to Luoyang and rushed to Luoyang in four days.

When Cao Song learned that Guo Shan sent someone to invite him to marry, he was relieved and was very happy. He immediately sent someone to reply, asking his cousin Cao Yin, who was recuperating in his hometown, to talk to Guo Shan about the engagement.

The two families communicated with each other as their messengers, and they talked very happily about the issues. The Cao family not only promised to give the Guo family an extremely generous dowry of several manors, but also expressed their willingness to bear most of the expenses required for future weddings to ensure that the Guo family is satisfied.

Guo Dan expressed his gratitude for this, but he still said that the Guo family was responsible for the wedding, which was related to the Guo family's appearance.

Cao Yin expressed his understanding and accepted Guo's request. Then he discussed with Guo Shan that he could prepare to start the engagement ceremony and complete the process as soon as possible so that the "lover" could finally get married.

After receiving Cao Yin's request, Guo Dan called Guo Peng to his study again.

"Xiao Yi, this is the last time I have confirmed it. Once the engagement is negotiated, there is no possibility of remorse. Do you like Cao's daughter? In the next few decades, you will be together through thick and thin. Can you do it?"

Originally, Guo Shan didn't need to consider this kind of thing, so he just told the marriage and could not allow Guo Peng to express any opinions.

But Guo Shan hopes that Guo Peng will not act simply for the sake of interests. The person who is beside him and his wife for decades cannot be treated like a servant.

Guo Peng is precocious, independent, and very smart. He will act for the overall situation of the Guo family just like him, but Guo Shan is worried that Guo Peng will only use the Cao family’s daughter as a tool, not his wife.

Men cannot be together with a tool for a long time, and the Cao family’s daughter is not a tool that can be simply thrown away after using it.

Guo Peng knew about Guo Shan’s concerns and just smiled.

"Why should my father worry? The Cao family's daughter is gentle and I like it very much. If I really don't like it, Cao asked her daughter to come out to see me earlier, I wouldn't have contacted her."

Guo Peng didn't tell any lies. In fact, at the beginning, he never thought about marrying Cao.

He did not think that Cao would take him and his father seriously, because the father and son only had the title of the Guo family in Yingchuan, but had no actual power.

However, one day after Guo Peng kicked Xu Shao's ass in Runan and became famous, he came to Cao Cao's family to play, but accidentally ran into Cao Cao's young girl, Guo Peng knew it in his heart.

Cao, I'm afraid he has an idea.

At that time, he was thinking about some things that were far away, and realized that getting married to the Cao family might not be a good path.

When everything is still unsure and I don’t know how far I can reach, binding the Cao family, a wealthy family force in the future, will do all the benefits and harm you.

Guo Shan was worried that the stigma of Cao's eunuchs starting a family would tarnish Guo's reputation, but how could Guo Peng explain to Guo Shan to make him understand that this is the future royal family?

And if he really doesn't like it, Guo Peng would not accept the "accident" arranged by Cao and would not cooperate with them to sing the play. If a man really doesn't like a woman's appearance, he will eliminate it at first sight and will not have the idea of ​​getting along in depth.

The youngest sister of the Cao family, Cao Cao's youngest sister, is named Cao Lan.

Generally speaking, a woman's name will not be revealed to a man with a foreign surname, but Guo Peng knew Cao Lan's name through Cao Ren's relationship, so Guo Peng knew what Cao's thoughts.

Does he like Cao Lan?

It’s not a question, but it’s really hard to say that the eleven or 2-year-old girl is not young in this era. There are many ordinary farm daughters getting married at the age of 11 or 2. Some people with status abide by the rules of marrying their daughters at the age of 15.

But in Guo Peng's eyes, she is just a little sister, a well-behaved, shy and afraid of being a child.

Does he not like Cao Lan?

That can't be said.

From the perspective of interests, Cao Lan is the best choice to tie herself to Cao's family and benefit endlessly.

From my own inner perspective, this shy and afraid little sister is indeed popular.

Her voice sounds very nice, and she seems to think Guo Peng is very amazing and powerful, and she looks admiring. Guo Peng always feels very happy when he talks to her.

From the perspective of appearance, Cao Lan is not considered a beautiful country, but he is not the type that he doesn't plan to continue getting along after meeting him.

These days, people in the upper class are absolutely rare in appearance, and even officials have to look at their appearance.

The ugly Pang Tong can even be recorded in history books, which shows that it is an incredible thing for him to be ugly and even enter the scattered society in this era.

As for food, sex and sex, rich families will naturally marry beautiful women or marry handsome men to improve their genes. Not to mention that all descendants are handsome men and beautiful women, at least they are pretty.

Cao Lan is more beautiful than average, with her facial features and elegant appearance. The best one is her big eyes.
