Chapter 285 Enemies for Life
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was indeed very moved.
To be honest, when it comes to children's marriage, it's all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and it's all about the elders making the decision.
But Cui Si was not an ordinary person. She showed a different mind and intelligence since she was a child. She also let her family know that her own opinions were very important, so her family would mainly follow her wishes.
In addition, Old Lady Xu and Mr. Cui have high enough status in the clan, and Cui Jing is extremely outstanding, being the leader of the younger generation of the Cui clan. Not to mention his peers, even the elders in the clan dare not ignore his attitude.
With their protection, the clan members did not dare to force Cui Si to marry and let her do it on her own.
"But Miaozhou...Miaozhou is far away, and the world is not peaceful nowadays." Old Mrs. Xu hesitated.
"Don't worry, grandma. I have many capable people around me, and with the guards I've hired over the years, they're also capable fighters. If we encounter bandits, they'll be defeated. If we encounter an army on the road from Pingzhou to Miaozhou, it must be the Northern Yan army."
The way Cui Si ran away was different from the way Cui Yun ran away back then. Cui Yun ran away with a few people in a carriage, which was simply seeking death.
Mrs. Xu was still worried: "How about asking your uncle to go with you?"
Cui Si shook her head: "Grandma, there should be someone who can have a say in the family. Could it be that Grandma is still looking forward to my father?"
Mr. Cui was a man who had become stupid because of reading too much. He only cared about his academy, teaching and reading, and didn't want to take care of any family affairs.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to care about Old Lady Xu and just let him do whatever he wanted. It was just that when he went to the clan meeting and it was time to fight for the interests of their family, he couldn't utter a word for a long time. In the end, he even said, why should we bother about it as a family.
But Mrs. Xu was so angry that she almost fainted.
This char siu is really unreliable. He can manage the affairs of the academy, teach well, and maintain the reputation of the Cui family, which is already pretty good.
However, Mrs. Xu still waved her hand: "Don't worry about that. If there is really something, I will let A Ping go with your father. A Ping should also practice well. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later. Oh, by the way, after meeting your third brother, ask him to return to the clan when he is free. He is also needed for A Ping's adoption."
These conflicts of interest are not as important as family.
Cui Si still didn't want Cui Changyou to follow her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Grandmother, have you forgotten what I told you before? I asked someone to tell my family's fortune and they said that my uncle would have a disaster in the second half of last year and that he would have to stay in Xianyang City to survive it safely."
In the second half of last year, Cui Si trapped Cui Changyou in Xianyang City and arranged for several people to take people to the deep mountains and forests to find their enemies from the previous life.
The results were somewhat unexpected.
Those people were not bandits, but a vanguard team disguised as bandits from Xiling.
Later, they contacted the local army in Xiangzhou and took people into the mountains to surround and kill them all.
No wonder Cui Changyou had such a disaster in his previous life. If he met bandits, he could still run away, but when he met these people and was discovered, they would definitely kill him.
"I've been thinking that even though it's been a while, it's best for my uncle not to leave Xianyang City for the next six months."
I'm sorry, uncle, you are really not suitable to go out for a walk with me, your niece.
I would rather die than let my friend die, so you have no choice but to accept your defeat.
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was indeed worried. In addition, with the people around Cui Si who came from Yanyunwei, protecting Cui Si's safety was indeed not a big problem. She did not dare to mention the matter of Cui Changyou going with her.
"Since you've said so, then I'll do as you say. But when you go out, be careful. If something goes wrong, ask someone to keep you safe first. Everything else is just your personal belongings."
"Grandmother taught me, and my granddaughter will remember it."
After convincing Old Lady Xu, there was no longer any suspense about Cui Si going out.
Returning to Yayuan, she first asked Yanzhi to get the dowry gift prepared for Cui Yao, and then went to the third room.
"When you get engaged and married, I might not be home, so I'll send this gift to you first."
Cui Si had many good things and was generous when she was happy. The gift she gave to Cui Yao was two sets of golden jewelry, one set she bought outside and the other set she made herself.
Cui Yao likes these golden and luxurious things, and can't let go of this gift.
But he was stunned when he heard this: "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to Miaozhou."
"What are you going to Miaozhou for?"
"Something's going on."
The word "something's happening" can instantly make people feel suffocated.
Cui Yao was furious.
As expected, she and Cui Si would probably never get along in this life.
"Yes, yes, Princess Wang has something important to tell you, so I can't ask too much." Cui Yao pressed his lips together and started to speak in a sarcastic tone again.
Cui Si was too lazy to argue with her: "I'm going to go see Ating."
Although she sometimes made people so angry that they jumped up and down, Cui Si was still very happy. She felt as if she was still a young lady, youthful and lively. She and Cui Yao were like two flowers competing for spring on a branch.
But now, it’s more fun to play with the lovely Ating.
Cui Yao gritted his teeth and said, "I think you two are aunt and nephew!"
It's so annoying. What's the point of competing with her for her niece? Doesn't she have a niece?
Oh, no, it seems not.
"Why haven't you gotten married yet, Third Brother? I'd like you to have a niece sooner so you don't have to worry about someone else all the time."
"When it's time to get married, it will happen naturally. Let nature take its course."
"You're not in a hurry at all."
"Some things depend on fate and cannot be rushed."
The two of them disliked each other and would ignore each other after a few words. The only person who could make Cui Si feel that she was mentally old but could still pull hair like a young lady was Cui Yao.
Enemies are for life.
Haven’t you seen Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Shen still arguing at their old age?
Cui Si then took some things to see Cui Ting. The little girl felt much better and started to jump around again. She was very happy to see Cui Si bringing her all kinds of toys and food.
Seeing her having fun, Cui Dalang's wife, Cui Dasao, shook her head helplessly: "It's a waste of money, Liu Niang. This child wants everything."
"It's not worth it. She's just a child, all she does is eat and play. She's still a little girl. If you don't treat her well, someone else will be able to trick her away with a little effort in the future. That would make me so angry that I die."
"A man should cultivate his will. If he has a strong will and a sense of responsibility, even temporary setbacks will not bend his back. A woman should cultivate her spirit and be rich in heart. In the future, those men's trivial tricks will not be able to deceive her."
Mrs. Cui was delighted when she heard this: "Sixth Lady is right, but the young lady of our Cui family is not someone who can be lured away with a few small gifts. If her life after marriage is worse than her life at her parents' home, then it would be better for her not to marry."
"Extremely."
The Cui family has the confidence of the Cui family. If the girl says she doesn't want to marry, then she won't marry, and the family can afford to support her.
There is no reason for your precious daughter to suffer in someone else's home.
