Chapter 28 The date was arranged in the morning, but the couple arrived in the evening
After hearing this, Song Rou's face turned pale and she argued:
"No, Ah Zhi just heard that Ah Si was engaged, and in a moment of desperation, he ran over. He didn't mean to offend anyone."
"Since it wasn't intentional, why don't you take him away, sister-in-law? Ah Si is a daughter of my Cui family. Who she marries has nothing to do with the Song family. Do you think you have to give the Song family an explanation?"
"I'll take him away right now." After hearing this, Song Rou didn't dare to say anything more and pulled Song Zhi away.
However, Song Zhi stood there and refused to leave. He only asked Cui Si, "Ah Si, I just want to ask you, why did you choose him and not me? I just don't believe that you two have known each other for only a few days, how could there be any feelings between you?"
"Song Langjun." Cui Si's fingers rested lightly on the teacup, her eyes calm. "There's a saying that goes 'love at first sight.' I wonder if you understand?"
"I don't know when this love started, but it's so deep. When I first saw Jiang Lang, I couldn't help but fall in love with him. It was just like when your sister first saw my father."
Upon hearing this, Song Rou and Song Zhi's faces turned pale again.
Because Song's mother was on good terms with Cui Si's mother, Yan, the younger generations of the two families were also close. When Cui Si lost her mother, Song's mother sent her sister Song Rou to accompany her. Unexpectedly, she had an affair with the other's father.
When the affair between Song Rou and Mr. Cui Erye was known to the Cui family, a fierce quarrel broke out. The Song family members kept persuading them, saying that the two were "unable to extricate themselves from the love", and asked them to be tolerant and understanding and help the lovers.
The same is true for Song Zhi.
Now Cui Si used the same reason to explain why she chose Jiang Cinian. Song Zhi blushed and felt embarrassed for a moment.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
In the end, I couldn't stay here anymore, so I turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Song Rou hurriedly chased after him.
Cui Changyou snorted coldly, "In the Cui family's inner courtyard, when have rules become just for show? A grown man from outside the family can actually come and go as he pleases. Do you really think that we, the women of the Cui family, don't care about our reputation?"
"It was probably his sister who brought him in personally." Cui Si poured herself a cup of tea and added more for Cui Changyou.
"My uncle can talk to my father and ask him if he has no shame and if everyone in the family has to join him in losing face."
Cui Changyou was delighted when he heard this: "A'si, that's a good idea. Uncle, I'll go have some tea with your father right away. By the way, please divide up the things I brought back and distribute them to everyone's courtyard."
"good."
Cui Changyou drank a cup of tea and then went to find trouble with his brother.
Cui Si sat quietly on the chair. The wind blew through the branches of the tree, and the leaves on the tree stretched out. A leaf was blown down by the wind and landed at her feet.
"The wind is picking up..."
......
"Xianyang City is just ahead." Cui Jing followed Yan Xingchuan on horseback, and when he saw the city not far away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He really didn't understand what the new master was thinking. He quickly dealt with some matters in Pingzhou City yesterday, and after breakfast today, he rode his horse at full speed to Xianyang City.
Although Cui Jing also practiced some martial arts, he had no talent in this area. He only learned some to strengthen his body. After riding a horse for a whole day, he felt like his butt was not his own.
But he didn't dare to say anything and had to endure it.
"It's Xianyang City." Yan Xingchuan asked the horse to stop, then walked slowly, looking up at the city not far away. For a moment, he felt a kind of hesitation in his heart as if he was homesick.
I don’t know whether she is doing well or not.
It's definitely not good.
Cui even wanted to make her a concubine, so she must have suffered a great injustice.
Yan Xingchuan thought of this and became anxious: "Enter the city quickly."
"yes."
Soon the team began to move forward quickly again, and the horses started running again.
Cui Jing felt the bumps of the horse and sighed inwardly - it seems that being a close minister to the emperor is not that easy!
When the sun set, Yan Xingchuan and his group entered Xianyang City.
The clatter of horse hooves as they passed through the street raised a cloud of dust. Passersby on the side stretched their heads out to look around, whispering to each other, wondering who these people were.
"The King of Northern Yan has arrived in Xianyang City?" Cui Si's face changed slightly when she heard the news. "This shouldn't be right. Why would he come to Xianyang City?"
You have to know that in his previous life, Yan Xingchuan only came to Xianyang City to marry his wife when he was ready. Even before that, it was people around him who did it.
This time he actually came in person.
"Has the clan decided who will marry the King of Northern Yan?"
"This is what I want to tell Sixth Lady." The man who came was Cui Jing's attendant guard. When Cui Jing entered the city, he was sent back to the second house to pass on the message.
"When the head of the family presented the invitation, it turned out that the fourth lady was going to marry as the queen, and the sixth lady would be the concubine."
Cui Si clenched her fingers in vain.
As expected, Madam Cui and Cui Yun were both good-for-nothings. They actually dared to cheat her!
The attendant continued, "When the King of Northern Yan saw the name card, he flew into a rage. Furthermore, my husband stood up and said that it was impossible for the Sixth Lady to be a concubine, and he started arguing with the head of the household.
The King of Northern Yan grew tired of hearing this and said that since Cui had decided not to come, he would come to Xianyang City himself to choose a wife and decide which one he would marry.
"So he came?" Cui Si was dazed.
Isn't revenge and pacification the world the only thing on this person's mind?
How could I possibly care about such a trivial matter as who to marry?
Yes, in his opinion, it didn't matter who he married, the Cui family gave him enough, so he agreed to marry a Cui girl, and he didn't care which Cui girl it was.
Why did he come to Xianyang City in person this time and choose a wife in person?
Could it be that she got up in the wrong position today? Or was it that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east?
"That's right," the visitor said, "Sixth Lady, my husband said that if you want to marry the King of Northern Yan, you should make preparations early."
Cui Si nodded: "I understand, you can go down."
After Cui Si sent the people away, she became restless and stood up and walked back and forth in the room several times, feeling a little uneasy.
What exactly is Yan Xingchuan doing here?
Could it be that there was some treasure hidden in Xianyang City that he had to go there in person?
On the other side, Yan Xingchuan was invited into the main courtyard of the Cui family and directly stated his purpose.
He came to see the two Cui girls.
"Sixth Mother?" A member of the Cui clan was surprised when he mentioned Cui Si. "Isn't Sixth Mother engaged?"
"What engagement?" Yan Xingchuan suddenly looked up, his eyes as cold as an arrow. "Who is engaged?"
The man was startled by his gaze and said in a panic: "It's Liu Niang..."
"Cui Liuniang Cui Si?"
"Yes, yes, it's Liu Niang A'si."
"When was the engagement?"
"Just...just this morning..."
