Chapter 35 Could it be that he was also reborn?
In troubled times, half of the Great Zhou dynasty has collapsed.
The Cui clan welcomed the King of Northern Yan to take control of Pingzhou, and now Pingzhou has become the territory of Yan.
When the King of Northern Yan came here, it was like the arrival of a monarch. Regardless of whether they were submissive in their hearts or not, everyone bowed and welcomed him respectfully.
Of course, if someone is stubborn enough and wants to test whether the swords of the Northern Yan King's personal guards are sharp, they can give it a try.
Cui Si had not originally planned to meet Yan Xingchuan, and wished that they would be strangers in this life, but she never expected to run into him here.
In her current situation, she couldn't leave, so she had to bite the bullet and let Yanzhi Songlu help her get off the carriage, and wait with everyone else for the arrival of the King of Northern Yan.
When kneeling down to pay homage, Cui Si felt a little awkward. You have to know that even in her previous life, she had never knelt before him. Now, she had to kneel down again with her head down.
The carriage stopped on the road in front of Xianyang Academy. Yan Xingchuan lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
He glanced around and immediately saw a person wearing a crabapple-colored soft gauze dress with wide sleeves.
When he looked over, he happened to see her profile, her eyelids half drooped, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, making her look bright, pretty, fragile and pitiful, just like the crabapple tree he saw today.
Yan Xingchuan subconsciously wanted to move forward, but just after taking a step, he remembered that he and she did not know each other in this life, so he stopped.
At this time, Mr. Cui came to greet them with a group of teachers and students from Xianyang Academy.
"President Cui, there's no need to be so polite. Everyone, please stand up." Yan Xingchuan said loudly.
"I've heard that Xianyang Academy is a world-renowned academy, and that all of you teachers and students are talented and virtuous people of our time. I've come here today to see you. I hope you won't be stingy and will show your abilities."
"I will take your orders."
News came out last night that the King of Northern Yan would come to Xianyang Academy today to select talented officials. Most of those present here are here for this purpose.
Cui Erye invited Yan Xingchuan inside: "King of Northern Yan, please come in."
Yan Xingchuan looked back and saw Cui Si standing with several people with her eyelids lowered. One of them had eyes somewhat similar to hers, but he did not recognize him.
Yan Xingchuan paused for a moment and remembered that this was her uncle.
In her previous life, he had been married to her for two years when her uncle passed away. Soon after, her grandmother also passed away. She was so sad to lose two relatives in a row that she couldn't eat for several days and even fell ill.
Fortunately, she became strong after she found out she was pregnant.
The young man standing next to his uncle was dressed in a deep blue robe and had a gentle and easy-going temperament. He reminded him of the man whom he had only met once in his previous life, but who became his fiancé in this life - Jiang Cinian, the successor of Yaowang Valley.
Seeing the two men standing on Cui Changyou's left and right, Yan Xingchuan's face turned cold for a moment, and his fingers in his sleeves clenched into fists.
Considering the presence of so many people, Yan Xingchuan couldn't do anything, but he was also extremely reluctant to let the two of them spend time together in private, so he said to them, "Those people from the Cui family over there, please come in with me."
As soon as Yan Xingchuan finished speaking, he attracted everyone's attention.
Cui Changyou looked surprised, and his hand holding the fan paused.
However, it sounded like the King of Northern Yan was looking down on the Cui clan. Cui Changyou was not ignorant of the situation and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, King of Northern Yan."
Cui Si and Jiang Cinian also followed suit to express their gratitude.
When Yan Xingchuan turned around and walked inside with Mr. Cui Er, Cui Si raised her head and looked at the figure in the crowd.
He took off his armor today and changed into a white robe and jade crown, which were favored by scholars and young men from noble families. When he walked, he took big and calm steps, and his wide sleeves and hem with gold-patterned trims were slightly lifted.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look at her, meeting her gaze which had not yet been withdrawn.
Those eyes as sharp as swords frightened her so much that she clenched her fingers suddenly, almost pinching her palms to bleed.
Her brows furrowed instantly, and then she quickly looked away.
Yan Xingchuan also frowned.
"King of Beiyan, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Mr. Cui was very nervous. Could there be an assassin?
That shouldn't be the case. Since last night, the area around Xianyang Academy has been checked, and guards have been arranged to guard every place. There is no way any assassin would be allowed in.
"Nothing." Yan Xingchuan relaxed his frown and continued walking forward.
Cui Jing came in a carriage at the back. When he arrived, he did not follow them inside, but instead moved closer to Cui Changyou and others.
"What brings you here?"
Cui Changyou glared at him: "Boy, I am your uncle, please be polite."
"Okay, little uncle." Cui Jing touched his nose and didn't bother with his uncle who was only two years older than him. "Why are little uncle and A Si here, and this..."
"Jiang Cinian," Cui Changyou introduced him. "This is the husband I brought back for Ah Si. What do you think of him? He's handsome, isn't he?"
Jiang Cinian greeted Cui Jing and said, "Greetings, Mr. Cui."
Jiang Cinian is a man with a gentle and peaceful personality, clean and pure temperament, and good looks. He really leaves a good impression on people when they meet him.
It is indeed appropriate to marry such a person and live a stable life.
Cui Jingjing nodded: "No need to be polite, just call me Brother Cui."
Although he didn't know who was older, after all, he had to be his brother-in-law, so even if he was older than him, he had to bow down and call him his younger brother. Cui Jing naturally regarded himself as his elder brother.
However, when Cui Jing thought of Yan Xingchuan's concern for Cui Si, his expression became slightly indifferent.
"Why are you here?"
Cui Si explained, "Third brother, we were planning to go pick up fifth brother, but when we passed by here, we saw so many people blocking our way. We just asked why, and then you showed up."
If possible, she didn't want to see Yan Xingchuan.
But Yan Xingchuan had already arrived, and the monarch had arrived, so they couldn't leave in the carriage at this time and had to stay.
Cui Jing sighed: "It's fate."
Cui Changyou was confused: "What?"
"Nothing, just come in with me."
Cui Si saw that many people were already walking into the academy, and it was crowded with people. She hesitated for a moment:
"Why don't you let your uncle go with you? I'm a woman, and Mr. Jiang is not from the Cui family."
Cui Jing glanced at her: "What do you think?"
Cui Si's face froze.
Yan Xingchuan must have seen her just now. He said something about letting Cui and the others go in with him. She wasn't flattering herself. She always felt that he just wanted her to go.
Yan Xingchuan...what exactly happened?
He broke into her bedroom last night and now he has her accompany him.
Moreover, he suddenly came to Xianyang Academy to select talented officials, which had never happened in the previous life.
Could it be that...could it be that he was also reborn?
