Chapter 22 I, Cui Jing, absolutely do not agree to this matter!
The head of the Cui family suddenly felt his scalp tingling and his heart almost stopped beating.
If this name card is presented, the Cui family will certainly not be at peace, and everyone may even be in disarray.
The head of the Cui family knew that this was not right, but when he thought about how Yan Xingchuan kept Cui Jing by his side these days and seemed to admire him very much, he felt a little unwilling.
In the end, it would be most appropriate for the position of Queen of Northern Yan to remain in his eldest son's family.
Otherwise, whether it is the second or third branch, the eldest branch will always be suppressed, and he, the head of the family, will be in name only.
If what was said in the letter was true, and Cui Si really gave birth to the heir of the King of Northern Yan in the future, and they made Cui Yun their wife and Cui Si their concubine, and when Cui Si gave birth to the child, they would kill the mother and keep the child, then everything should belong to the eldest son's family.
As for the child, he would raise him with Cui Yun in the future, and he didn't believe that he would be unrelated to Cui Yun or to their eldest son's family.
Thinking of this, Patriarch Cui tightly grasped the letter and finally made up his mind.
Power and wealth are dazzling, but success or failure depends on this.
"You go down and rest."
Patriarch Cui waved his hand to dismiss the guests, then returned to the banquet hall with his name card. As soon as he stepped into the room, he smiled and stepped forward to bow and salute: "Congratulations, King of Northern Yan, congratulations, King of Northern Yan."
Yan Xingchuan, wearing a dark blue robe with a cross collar and dark bamboo embroidery, sat upright in the main seat. He seemed to be in a good mood and was drinking. Upon hearing what Patriarch Cui said, he asked, "Patriarch Cui, why should I be so happy?"
The Cui family head said with a smile: "This humble servant just received a name card from the Cui family. Your wedding day should be not far away."
Name card.
Yes, Yan Xingchuan just remembered this.
He received the letter from the Cui family in Beiyan City and discussed it with everyone. After agreeing to the conditions of the Cui family, he wrote a letter to the Cui family and immediately led his troops south.
After the Cui family received the letter, he almost arrived at Jiangshui. At that time, the Cui family had not yet chosen a girl to marry, so they hurried to Jiangshui to wait.
In his previous life, it was when he arrived in Pingzhou City that the Cui clan sent him a name card, informing him which girl the Cui clan wanted to marry.
"Show it up."
Upon hearing this, a personal soldier stepped forward, and the head of the Cui family handed over the business card with both hands. After the personal soldier checked and found no problems, he presented it to Yan Xingchuan.
Yan Xingchuan held the business card in his hand, his face still sullen, as if he didn't care, but he couldn't help but sit up straight, and the fingers holding the business card exerted a little force.
Soon, there was some sweat on the palms of my hands.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then opened the business card. However, when he saw the name on the card clearly, he suspected that he had read it wrong.
Cui Yun? Who is she?
To marry him and become his queen?
Where's Ah Si? Where's Liu Niang?
Well...as Cui Yun's dowry concubine, and his concubine?
Yan Xingchuan's face darkened little by little, and his hands were so strong that he almost crushed the name card.
"Who is Cui Yun? Could it be that my queen is not Cui Liuniang?"
Why did his wife suddenly become a different person?
What's going on?
Although these days, every time he thought about how she didn't care about him at all and how she couldn't wait to keep a gigolo right after he died, he was so angry that he was about to explode.
The journey was long, and he thought bitterly all the way: whoever wants to marry this fickle young lady can marry her.
He won't marry anyway.
But at this moment, Cui really changed his wife, and he felt shocked and angry.
Moreover, she had to endure such humiliation and was sent to him as a dowry concubine by the Cui clan.
The Cui family is going too far!
Yan Xingchuan threw the business card in his hand and it landed in front of the head of the Cui family.
The head of the Cui family did not expect Yan Xingchuan to suddenly get angry. He was frightened and quickly knelt down to apologize.
The people present were also frightened by this sudden change. Seeing Yan Xingchuan's face turned black, they didn't dare to breathe.
"Take a good look at what's written on this name card!"
Patriarch Cui went forward to pick up the name card, read it again, and then said:
"Reporting to the King of Northern Yan, this name is correct. Ah-jun is none other than the Fourth Lady of the Cui Clan, my only legitimate daughter, and the most distinguished lady of the Cui Clan."
"The King of Northern Yan wishes to marry my daughter, Cui, as his queen. Naturally, I, Cui, dare not neglect it and will marry my most distinguished daughter to you.
The most distinguished lady is naturally Si Niang."
The name on the business card is Cui Yun?
Cui Jing, who was sitting at the table, also had a slightly serious expression on his face. He wondered if this family was crazy to want to marry Cui Yun into the family.
"What about Cui Liuniang?" Yan Xingchuan asked.
The Cui family head continued, "The King of Northern Yan may not know that although my fourth daughter is of noble status, she is in poor health. The Cui family members feel that marrying such a girl to the king is really lacking."
"It just so happens that Sixth Lady is also the legitimate daughter of my Cui clan, and her status is noble enough, so let her marry here with Fourth Lady and serve the King of Northern Yan."
The Cui family leader's words sounded better than singing, saying that she was married here to serve. But in the final analysis, she was actually brought here as a concubine.
It has been a tradition since ancient times for a woman to bring her sisters from the same clan as dowry or concubines when she gets married.
Cui Jing's expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up and knelt down: "King of Northern Yan, I also have something to say."
When the Cui family leader saw Cui Jing jumping out, his face turned a little ugly: "Sanlang, stop messing around. This matter was decided by the clan."
"The clan decided this?" Cui Jing's eyes narrowed slightly. "The clan decided to send Sanlang's younger sister to be a concubine?"
Patriarch Cui's face was filled with shame for a moment, but he also felt a sense of rage as if someone had ripped him off. He said coldly, "It's Liu Niang's blessing to be the king's concubine!"
"Then our Sixth Lady wouldn't dare accept this blessing!" Cui Jing sneered, "It's better to give it back to the Fourth Lady."
Patriarch Cui was choked for a moment, then tried to persuade Cui Jing: "Sanlang, do you really have to argue with me here? Don't you see what kind of occasion this is?"
"Sanlang doesn't care what the occasion is." Cui Jing glanced at the Cui family head coldly.
"Sanlang only knows that although he is not very capable, he would never sell his sister for fame. If the King of Northern Yan wants to marry Liu Niang, Sanlang will naturally agree. However, if he wants Liu Niang to be his concubine, Sanlang cannot agree."
"They say an elder brother is like a father. Now that my father is not here, Liu Niang's marriage will naturally be decided by Sanlang. I, Cui Jing, absolutely do not agree to this!"
After Cui Jing finished speaking, he bowed to Yan Xingchuan and said, "Please forgive me, King of Northern Yan. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means death. But I, your sister, absolutely cannot be your concubine."
Yan Xingchuan frowned slightly, his expression still not looking good.
"Alright, let's put this aside for now. After I finish dealing with all matters in Pingzhou City tomorrow, I will personally go to Xianyang City to meet these two girls. As for wives and concubines, there's no need to talk about them anymore. I will only marry one wife."
"Since you, the Cui clan, can't decide on a candidate, then let me go to Xianyang City to make the selection myself."
