Chapter 180 My Lord, You Will Be Beaten to Death
Cui Si sat in the corridor for a long time, and Song Lu accompanied her.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the light of the lanterns in the corridor was gradually covered by the sunlight. Only the sunlight was left to illuminate the world, and the light from other places could not compete at all.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard. A group of maids in red jackets and red skirts pushed the door open, each holding something. When they saw Cui Si sitting in the corridor, they came forward to pay their respects.
"Congratulations to Sixth Lady on her great happiness."
Cui Si turned around and smiled: "Thank you for your congratulations. There are so many things to do today, so you must be tired. Go to Yanzhi to collect the wedding money later."
"Thank you, Sixth Lady."
Since the guests had already arrived, they couldn't sit here any longer. Cui Si got up and walked into the house, asking the maid to tidy up the yard.
She went back and rested for another half an hour, then a maid brought hot water and helped her bathe and change clothes. After she came out of the shower, the sisters from the clan came one after another, had breakfast with her, talked to her, and watched her put on makeup.
Relatives who were there to see her off in marriage also arrived one after another, and the Cui family became lively.
Mrs. Cui Si brought several other women from the clan to help with the reception and was very busy.
Near noon, Mrs. Cui Si invited Mrs. Quanfu, who was invited by the Cui family, into Qingwu Courtyard to comb Cui Si's hair.
Madam Quanfu was the daughter-in-law of an old friend of Old Lady Xu. She had a round face and looked very happy when she smiled. When she saw Cui Si, she first praised her for her beauty, which was as pretty as a lotus, as radiant as the morning glow, and as if she were a fairy.
While combing her hair, he sang and made everyone laugh.
After he had combed Cui Si's hair, he said, "May your Highness be very happy. May you have a smooth life, grow old together, and have many children and grandchildren."
"Thank you, Madam, for your kind words."
I only wish for a smooth life and a long life without worries.
After tying her hair into a bun, she put on her wedding dress, put on her hairpins and crown, and waited for the wedding party to come and pick her up.
The girls in the room also discussed for a while how to make things difficult for the groom and ask him to write a few poems to urge him to get ready before they would let him take the bride away.
Among them, Cui Yao made the most noise and even encouraged the others: "He wants to marry our Cui daughter, and the princess of Northern Yan. How can he marry her so easily?"
"Could it be that you are feeling distressed, Sixth Sister?"
Cui Si laughed and said, "As long as it's not too embarrassing, you can make as much noise as you want."
Although Cui Yao wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Jiang Cinian because he was unhappy with her, there is a saying that is true: if you marry a woman, you should always pay something.
"Look, Liu Niang has already said it, so let's do it this way. We have to let that Jiang know that it's not easy to marry a girl from the Cui family."
......
"Master, should we wait on the road or go to Cui's house?"
Around noon, Yan Xingchuan and his companions arrived at Xianyang City smoothly. After entering the city, they rode through the streets on horseback. Everywhere they could hear people talking about the Cui family's daughter's marriage.
"Go to Cui's house."
"My Lord, are you planning to tell the Cui family everything? That's fine too."
"No." Yan Xingchuan was wearing a black cloak embroidered with cranes and auspicious clouds. The half of his face that was half covered by the hood was pale and bloodless, but his lips were unusually red. His cold eyebrows and eyes were stained red at the corners.
"Go to Cui's house and rob him."
Go... go to Cui's house and rob?
Yun Gang was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, Yan Xingchuan had already rode forward.
"No, you're crazy... Even if you want to rob, you have to wait for someone to come out, right?"
If you want to directly kidnap the bride to stop the marriage, it is best to do it halfway and then leave.
But if he went to the Cui family, how could the Cui family let him take the person away, even if he was the King of Northern Yan!
"Master, please think carefully about this matter. You will be beaten to death if you do this!"
However, Yan Xingchuan ignored him and rode his horse all the way to the Cui clan's territory, and everyone had to follow him.
As soon as Yan Xingchuan entered the city gate, the city guards rushed to report to the Cui family. When he just arrived at the entrance of the Cui family's land, Cui Jing came with his men.
When Cui Jing saw Yan Xingchuan at this time, he felt so overwhelmed and his scalp was numb.
"My Lord, why are you here?"
Aren't you in Yunzhou City? Why are you in Xianyang City?
This is a journey of 800 miles which would take ten days even if rushed!
"I want to see Ah Si."
Cui Jing: "..."
That’s really enough.
"Sixth Mother is getting married today! Can you please stop messing around?" Can you please just let her go?
Yan Xingchuan finally looked down at Cui Jing, his grip on the reins tightening as he said, "She can't marry."
Cui Jing's expression changed slightly, and he became a little annoyed. "My Lord, even if you are the monarch, there are some things you cannot do too much about. Who Liu Niang wants to marry is her business, and it is our Cui family's business. It has nothing to do with you. You are being unreasonable."
If Cui Si was willing to marry Yan Xingchuan, Cui Jing would definitely agree to the marriage with all his heart. After all, no one would want to refuse the relationship with the brother-in-law of the King of Northern Yan.
But Cui Si disagreed. Sorry, power and wealth were important, but his family was more important.
Cui Si is getting married today, but Yan Xingchuan still comes to cause trouble. This is simply like jumping on the grave of eighteen generations of Cui family's ancestors.
I can’t stand it!
"There are some problems with the man named Jiang, she can't marry him." Yan Xingchuan stared at Cui Jing's eyes and saw that his pupils shrank slightly, a little surprised, and then seemed a little unconvinced, frowning.
Yan Xingchuan said, "I came all the way here, not to joke with you, Cui Jing, I want to see Liu Niang."
Cui Jing's expression changed again and again, and he was a little hesitant.
Although some of Yan Xingchuan's behaviors regarding Cui Si's matter were strange, he was not the kind of person who would slander others without reason.
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Yan Xingchuan said, "It's best not to let anyone know about this. I want to talk to her in person. Besides, she's my adopted sister, and I'm her adopted brother. It wouldn't be too much for me to meet her before she gets married, right?"
"Cui San, she will judge right from wrong, true from false, black and white. If you don't trust me, you should at least trust her, right?"
.
In Qingwu Courtyard, the girls were still discussing how to embarrass the groom. Cui Si sat aside and listened. When she heard them talking about something interesting, she couldn't help laughing.
"Ladies, we have food ready in the kitchen. Please go and have some first, and then come back to accompany Liu Niang." Madam Cui Si came over and asked the other girls to leave. Then she said to Cui Si, "Liu Niang, you should take a rest first. I will bring you some food later."
Cui Si raised her eyebrows and looked at Madam Cui Si.
Mrs. Cui Si was so frightened by her look that she betrayed Cui Jing directly: "This was arranged by Sanlang, Liuniang, you should know my character well."
Cui Si's eyelids twitched and her brows furrowed even deeper.
Cui Si nodded and said, "Then Fourth Aunt will follow Third Brother's instructions."
Although Cui Si still had doubts in her heart, she and Cui Jing had a deep relationship as siblings, and Cui Jing would not cheat her.
"Okay, Liu Niang, I'll bring you some food in a little while."
Mrs. Cui said this and left in a hurry, as if she would be bitten by a dog if she stayed any longer.
As soon as Madam Cui Si left, the people in Qingwu Courtyard seemed to be emptied out all at once, leaving only Yanzhi and Songlu to serve Cui Si.
Cui Si felt a little uneasy and her fingers kept pinching the teacup.
After a while, footsteps were heard, and a hand lifted the red curtain and walked in.
"A'si."
