The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.
Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...
Chapter 119 Staying at Yan's House
When Old Lady Yan heard that Cui Si didn't even return to Xianyang City and came to see her first, she was even happier.
Cui Si helped her walk into the house and asked her, "Grandma, how is your health lately?"
"Okay, okay, everything is fine. There's nothing wrong with me. I didn't sleep much before, but after drinking Jiang Xiaolang's medicinal tea, I feel much better."
After entering the house, the host, guests, elders and juniors sat down. Madam Yan had tea served while Old Madam Yan talked to the two of them.
"You too, why didn't you stay home? You had to run to such a dangerous place like Chongshan Pass? There was a war going on there. And your grandmother actually indulged you."
Cui Si smiled and said, "Grandmother has her own world in her heart. As long as the matter is legitimate and not dangerous, she will agree."
"There's no danger yet, that's going to war."
"Liu Niang is at the rear, not at the front."
Speaking of being in the front, no one knows what happened to Cui Yi. Chen Mo withdrew from the border of Pingzhou. Although new generals have gone there, the situation is unknown.
Cui Si appropriately changed the subject: "By the way, Grandmother, how is my fifth uncle doing?"
"It's been pretty smooth. Your cousin has also been successfully included in the family tree." Speaking of this, Old Madam Yan sighed and envied, "She is also lucky."
Madam Yan was also very envious: "Sixth Lady, you went to the army this time and saw what good generals there were in the Northern Yan Army. We in the Yan family also have several good girls. If there are any suitable ones, please help to introduce them to us."
Although her aunt is warm and polite, she is also very decisive when it comes to getting benefits.
Cui Si's smile remained unchanged as she simply said, "Aunt, you're joking. How can I, an unmarried girl, be a matchmaker?"
"Aren't you the princess? Can they refuse your order?"
"I am not a noble lady of the Yan family, so how can I be the master of the Yan family? Besides, if others respect me and call me Princess, then I am the one. If they disrespect me and treat me like a piece of grass by the roadside, then I can't do anything about it."
Mrs. Yan wanted to say something, but Old Madam Yan coughed and told her not to say anything more.
Mrs. Yan was somewhat unwilling, but she still gave the old lady face and finally quieted down.
Old Lady Yan asked Cui Si, "You are passing through Pingzhou City this time. Are you coming to see me and leave, or are you staying for a few days?"
"Stay one night," Cui Si replied. "Grandmother must be waiting for my return home. But when I get to Pingzhou City, I need to accompany my grandmother, fulfill my filial duties on behalf of my mother, and then pay my respects to my two uncles."
"Okay, then let your aunt prepare two banquets to welcome you."
"good."
Cui Si talked with Jiang Cinian and Old Madam Yan for a while, and then they were taken to the prepared courtyard by their respective people to wash up and rest.
When the sun set and the Yan family returned, Cui Si took Jiang Cinian to pay a visit to her two uncles.
The head of the Yan family is a serious and rigid middle-aged man, while the second master Yan is much more talkative and gentle. Regardless of whether he is satisfied with Jiang Cinian or not, he always looks polite.
Cui Si's marriage was decided by the Cui family, and it was not the Yan family's turn to interfere. Besides, Cui Si was willing to accept this marriage, so it was not their turn to say anything.
Cui Si saw Yan Suxin again. Not knowing what had happened, or perhaps because there were so many people around, she had to follow the rules, so she sat quietly in her seat and didn't say much.
After the banquet was over, several brothers of the Yan family took Jiang Cinian out for a drink, while Cui Si followed Old Madam Yan back to the yard and talked about Yan Suxin.
"We wanted to tell your fifth brother about her, but she wasn't very happy about it. Later, we heard that your Cui family canceled your third brother's marriage with the Wang family, so we thought she would be happy about it, but she still wasn't happy."
"Your third brother is such a good man. Ever since he broke off the engagement, the Cui family's gates have been thronged with matchmakers trying to find him. Tell me, what on earth is she unhappy about?"
"Sixth Lady, why don't you go and persuade her."
She went to persuade?
No, no, no, how can this be possible.
Putting aside the question of whether it is suitable or not, Cui Jing and Yan Suxin are cousins.
Although it was normal for cousins to get married at this time, she disagreed. If a child with problems was born, it would be a tragedy.
She can't control other people, but she still has to take care of her own brother.
Cui Si smiled and said, "Grandmother, everyone in this world is different. Maybe in our eyes, the third and fifth brothers are all good, but people are going to marry others, so what is good or bad is naturally different."
"Besides, I don't know what Third Brother is thinking, and I don't want to cause any trouble. If I persuade my cousin and Third Brother doesn't want to marry her, the marriage won't go through. I'll be the one who suffers the most."
"My third brother blames me for being nosy, the Yan family blames me for not doing things properly, and my cousin resents me for pulling her up and then throwing her down."
"Okay, okay, forget it, I won't say anything more." After hearing what she said, Old Lady Yan no longer wanted her to persuade her.
"Tomorrow I'll have your uncle write a letter to your third brother and ask for his opinion first."
"That would be the best."
Dealing with the old lady is a bit tiring. She does what she wants and sometimes you can't refuse. If you are unwilling, you have to think carefully about the reason if you want to refuse.
But as a younger generation, you need to be more patient and less calculative.
Adults tolerate children's ignorance and educate them to grow up. By the time the children grow up and can stand on their own feet in the world, they themselves have become old children.
On the other hand, the younger generation should be more patient with the older generation, explain things to them, and protect their self-esteem.
At night, Cui Si returned to the guest house to rest.
She had just finished washing up when Yan Suxin came. She brought a pot of osmanthus wine and snacks and invited Cui Si to drink.
After three cups of wine, Yan Suxin asked Cui Si, "Cousin, what is Chongshan Pass like?"
"Chongshan Pass?" Cui Si thought of the fire that had burned through Chongshan Pass and narrowed her eyes slightly. "It's a ruin everywhere."
However, she did not regret burning down Chongshan Pass.
"Ah! Ruins?" Yan Suxin exclaimed.
"Yes," Cui Si said calmly. "On the day the two armies clashed, flames shot up into the sky and corpses were everywhere. Both sides were mad with killing. When I entered the city, the blood on the city walls was so thick that I couldn't wash it away even with countless waters."
"Su Xin," Cui Si asked her, "You're getting older, and your family is worried about your marriage. What kind of person do you want to marry?"
Cui Si has always been very tolerant towards her younger brothers and sisters.
Some minor shortcomings are not a big deal, after all, no one in the world is perfect.
As long as you don't take the wrong path or do anything wrong, or do anything that is harmful to others or yourself, she is still very tolerant and willing to help if possible.
