Chapter 365 Letter from Beiyan City
"Hey, what do you mean by the Xie family? Even Mr. Xie came in person?"
In the mountain retreat, Cui Yao waited and waited, but no one from the Xie family came down the mountain and left. Instead, they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with Yan Xingchuan. She couldn't help feeling a little worried, so she asked the young man next to her, her newlywed husband Yue Sanlang.
They got married in mid-March, so it's only been a little over four months now.
Yue Erlang Yue Chong and Yue Sanlang Yue Yan were generals guarding Laizhou. Therefore, when Cui Yao and Yue Yan got married, the betrothal gifts and the wedding were completed within half a month. Even the wedding was held in Pingzhou City. Less than half a month after the wedding, the couple rushed to Laizhou.
This time, Yan Xingchuan held talks with the kings at the Laizhou border. Yue Chong continued to be in charge of all matters related to the defense of Laizhou, while Yue Yan and Cui Yao followed him south to arrange some matters.
"What do you mean?" Yue Yan folded his arms across his chest, leaning against a pillar, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. "It's nothing more than wanting to find a good way out for the Xie family, to earn them a future. The Xie family has been wanting to become an official for a long time."
"Since you have come to this border, I think you are here to help the master solve his problems."
He is tall and although he does not have the best appearance, he is young, handsome, calm and easy-going, and is considered a rare candidate for a good husband.
Cui Jing also put a lot of thought into the marriage he arranged for Cui Yao.
He is young, promising, easy to talk to, and tolerant. He also has several brothers who help each other and will not be bullied by outsiders.
"Resolve problems?" Cui Yao was unconvinced. "Even the Lord himself couldn't handle things, but the Xie family could solve them. How could the other kings really listen to him?"
"Master, why are you still nagging him? It would be best to send them down as soon as possible."
"Be patient, be patient." Yue Yan shook his head helplessly. His wife was good in every way except that when she got angry, she was really angry.
"You also said that it's impossible to accomplish something that even the Lord couldn't accomplish in person, but the Xie family stepped forward and is willing to take on this matter. Isn't that great?"
"If it fails, Beiyan won't suffer any loss. It can only be said that the Xie family worked in vain. If it succeeds, it will avoid a war in the future and reduce the suffering of people, which is also a good thing."
"In fact, many princes and nobles started rebellions out of helplessness. Some did it for the people, some for themselves. But they all had no way out. If they were willing to submit, that would naturally be the best."
Cui Yao bit her lip. "But the Xie family... is it appropriate to use someone from the Xie family? Weren't you worried that if the Xie family gained power, Laizhou would return to its past fate of being controlled by the Xie family?"
Yue Yan said, "You can rest assured. This time, the Xie family will be put on trial. Those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be punished will be punished. Besides, there are so many capable people in Beiyan. The Xie family will not dare to act arrogantly for at least ten years."
As for ten years later, the world will probably belong to Northern Yan. If the Xie family dares to act recklessly then, we will settle accounts with them.
"Are you still worried about the Cui family? Don't worry, no matter how hard the Xie family tries, they can't be half as good as the Cui family."
Cui Yao was struck by the truth and became a little angry: "Why are you saying all this? The Lord has been talking to them for so long and it's not over yet, and you don't have the foresight to take a look."
"Okay, take a break, I'll go take a look."
Yan Xingchuan chatted with several people from the Xie family for about an hour, and then asked them to go down the mountain. As for what they talked about, outsiders had no way of knowing.
The next morning, the Xie family, led by Xie Fangyuan and Xie Xi, crossed the river to the south on a diplomatic mission. The head of the Xie family led some people back to Laizhou City, and Yan Xingchuan also set off to return to Piaomiao City.
On August 11, Yan Xingchuan returned to Piaomiao City.
After finishing some political affairs that required his decision, he just sat down to write a letter to Cui Si when Yun Gang came in with a letter.
"My Lord, it was sent here by Madam Lin."
Yan Xingchuan frowned when he heard this: "Didn't I tell you to watch? If there is anything that is reasonable, I will arrange for someone to help her deal with it. If it is unreasonable and does not threaten her, then don't worry about it."
Ever since Lin Qingning returned to Beiyan City, she received two or three letters a month. At the beginning, Yan Xingchuan was worried that she had suffered some grievances, so he still read the letters. Later, as the number of letters increased, he lost his patience and handed them to the people around him.
Yun Gang said, "Madam Lin said in her letter...that she wants to marry the Crown Prince, but I'm undecided."
"What?" Yan Xingchuan was also confused for a moment, "Which prince? The princes of the kings?"
Yes, now apart from the palaces of several dukes and marquises in the imperial court, there are also the kings. Which young man dares to call himself the prince?
Yun Gang explained, "It's our prince, the eldest son, your elder brother."
"What?" Yan Xingchuan stood up suddenly, then frowned, his face full of disapproval, "Is she crazy?"
Lin Qingning is going to marry Yan Xingshan.
But Yan Xingshan died when the Yan family was in trouble. She wants to marry a dead person?
Yan Xingchuan took the letter and read it quickly. The more he read, the darker his face became.
Between the lines, Lin Qingning expressed how anxious and restless she felt these days, how no one treated her sincerely, and she also mentioned how good Yan Xingshan had been to her in the past.
She also said that she had been dreaming a lot these days, and she dreamed of her aunt, who was very much looking forward to her becoming the daughter-in-law of the Yan family. Since he already had someone in his heart and was unwilling to marry her, she would marry her eldest cousin.
In this way, she fulfilled her aunt's expectation and fulfilled her cousin's true love for her.
Moreover, she wanted to marry into the Yan family, hoping that the Yan family could become her home, so that she would no longer be like a rootless duckweed with nowhere to go, and she hoped that he could fulfill her wish.
Finally, she said that she was going to get married on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and hoped that he could rush back to preside over the wedding between her and Yan Xingshan.
"She's really crazy." Yan Xingchuan crumpled the letter into a ball, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot that had been used for ten years.
It’s not that he was unwilling to help Lin Qingning and his brother. Lin Qingning still cared about his brother, and Yan Xingchuan was also very happy in his heart.
But the old friend is gone, and the living have to move on. Whether it is Yan Xingchuan or Yan Xingshan, they naturally hope that Lin Qingning can find a good match and live the rest of her life in peace.
Marrying a dead person...what kind of thing is this!
"I can't agree to this."
Yun Gang said, "If the Lord doesn't agree, it's probably too late. The generals guarding Beiyan City have learned of this and have also submitted a petition requesting the Lord's approval."
"This marriage between Madam Lin and the Crown Prince was originally arranged by the Marquis and his wife, but before they could propose the betrothal gifts, disaster struck the Yan and Lin families.
Madam Lin has this ambition, and she is determined to enter the Yan family and become a member of the Yan family. I think all the officers and soldiers hope that the Marquis and his wife can fulfill their wish."
"Both the Crown Prince and Madam Lin have suffered so much. You all hope that Madam Lin can be reunited with the Crown Prince after a hundred years."
