Chapter 239 Then Please Say Something Nice
"That does make some sense." Cui Si nodded in agreement.
The books she wrote were all about her experience in managing and governing the country. Generally speaking, they were priceless treasures and would be of great use to Yan Xingchuan and Beiyan.
She couldn't stop Yan Xingchuan from sending things to her like crazy, but at least she felt much better using these things in exchange.
She didn't want to owe him anything.
After reading the letter, Cui Si put it in the box and went to rest.
The next day is a new day and a new year.
Because many of the Cui family members were not with the clan this year, the Cui family was much quieter than in previous years. However, there were still many young boys and girls who came to pay New Year's greetings to their elders.
Even here at Cui Si's place, there were sisters coming to talk to her.
Cui Si liked quiet days, but she also liked the hustle and bustle during festivals like the New Year. She asked people to prepare a lot of food, and she felt happy listening to everyone chattering.
But what she likes most are children aged three or four. The weather is cold, and the children playing and running around in the house are really cute.
Cui Si couldn't help but get together and talk to them.
The children chattered to each other in their childish words. She smiled and nodded, then reached out to touch their heads.
But the children couldn't sit still and soon started to play around again.
"Sister, do you like children?" a sister from the clan asked her.
Cui Si hummed, "I like it."
When she saw these children, she thought of her own children, who were also lively and cute when they were young. No, they are still cute when they grow up.
He is the cutest child in the world.
Someone said, "If my sister likes it, why not marry the King of Northern Yan as soon as possible and have a child?"
The people next to him nodded repeatedly.
"That's right."
"Give birth to one and raise it yourself."
Everyone in the Cui family hopes that she will marry Yan Xingchuan as soon as possible. Although there is a promise, as long as the marriage is not completed, the matter will not be settled, which makes people feel uneasy.
It’s better to get married. When everything is settled, the Cui family will be the true descendants of Northern Yan.
In this regard, many people in the clan wanted to talk to Cui Si and persuade her, but most of them were stopped by Old Lady Xu. Only three or two people were able to run up to her and talk about these things.
Cui Si just smiled and said nothing, neither refusing nor agreeing.
If she refused, the Cui clan members would be furious, and they might even arrange for people to persuade her every day. She herself would not be happy to agree, so this was the only way.
"We'll talk about it later."
Let it be for now. She doesn't want to spend any more time thinking about the future.
.
Chen Mo spent the New Year at the Cui family. The Cui clan members were very warm and welcoming to him. He was also a smart person, so he overcame the initial awkwardness and quickly became friends with several of his peers in the Cui clan.
On the third day of the New Year, Chen Mo left Xianyang City and returned to Pingzhou City, preparing to come to the Cui family to propose marriage and present gifts.
Old Lady Xu discussed with him for a long time and asked him to go to Pingzhou City to ask Old Lady Yan to be a matchmaker, and then choose an auspicious day to visit.
Not even a few days later, news came that the Shen family had chosen the tenth day to visit.
According to etiquette, a marriage requires three books and six ceremonies, which include offering the betrothal gift, asking for the bride's name, offering the good news, offering the betrothal gift, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride. The so-called offer of betrothal gift is offering the betrothal gift.
But the world is not at peace now, and as a general of Northern Yan, Chen Mo really doesn't have time to make several trips to Xianyang City, so he only held grand ceremonies and welcomed the bride.
After catching two wild geese and sending the betrothal gifts, the engagement was confirmed.
Cui Si smiled and asked Cui Hao, "I've met him a few times. What do you think of him?"
Cui Hao was a little shy and stammered, "That's just...it's just average."
Cui Si smiled and reached out to touch her hair.
She herself has been confused about marital relationships throughout her life, and there is no experience to pass on to her, so let them go on their own.
"Now that you're engaged, learn how to be a housekeeper."
"Yeah, sis."
Yan Xingchuan had prepared Chen Mo's betrothal gifts for him long ago, so he didn't have to worry about it at all. He went to visit the Yan family and asked Old Lady Yan and Madam Yan for help. They compared the things and checked for any omissions. In less than three days, everything was ready.
We set out at noon on the ninth day and arrived in Xianyang City in the afternoon of the second day.
The Cui family suddenly became lively. Old Mrs. Xu entertained the guests with a beaming face, which showed that she was very satisfied with this marriage.
The old lady still didn't like Cui Hao very much, but after all, she was her son's only daughter, so she always wished her the best. She was happy to see that she had a good home.
On that day, the two families decided on the marriage.
Old Lady Yan and Madam Yan stayed in Xianyang City for one night and were going back to Pingzhou City the next morning. Cui Si and Cui Changyou went to see them off in person.
Old Madam Yan clapped her hands, feeling very emotional and worried.
"After the New Year, you're already seventeen, and your younger sister is already engaged. It's time for you to have a plan. Whatever the King of Northern Yan says, he can't really wait until he ascends the throne to marry you, right?"
Although this sounds better than singing and makes people secretly happy, it's just a matter of time. It may take ten or eight years, and by then Cui Si will be old.
Cui Si just smiled and said perfunctorily: "If I meet him, I will talk to him."
"That's good, then let's have a good talk. Getting married as soon as possible is the most important thing."
After Old Lady Yan and Madam Yan boarded the carriage and left, Shen Mo climbed up the pole and asked her, "Princess Wang, do you really want to discuss marriage with the Lord? I'll have him come to Xianyang City right away."
Cui Si glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about it. I still regard you as a good younger brother and brother-in-law."
Chen Mo: “…”
Shen Mo sighed.
He just knew it.
"So what exactly do you want? Can you come up with a plan?"
As long as the rules are drawn, you can make any requests you want. If you don't make any requests, don't agree, and don't pay any attention, it really makes people wonder what to do.
Cui Si paused, then said, "Let him concentrate on conquering Miaozhou, and we can deal with the rest later."
Cui Si was sometimes worried that Yan Xingchuan would go crazy and cause chaos instead of fighting properly. If that happened, she didn't know when peace would come to the world.
"Then write him a letter. Your words are worth a thousand from us."
Cui Si thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little worried: "Then please say a few more nice words."
Cui Si glanced at him and said, "Are you pushing your luck?"
Chen Mo said embarrassedly: "Then give me a chance."
Cui Si turned away and got on the carriage to go home, not bothering to pay attention to him.
Shen Mo touched his nose with his hand, sighed, and asked Cui Changyou beside him: "Do you have any solution?"
Cui Changyou also glanced at him unhappily and walked forward: "Just take care of yourself."
