Chapter 400 The Chang Family Brothers and Sisters
"Anyway, please don't get in the way of my good life. If you do, I will tell my parents and ancestors that you are dead and I no longer have a brother."
Seeing that Shen Sui's face turned black and green with anger, Shen Mo got on his horse and left with satisfaction.
"Rong'an Town is now handed over to you. No matter what selfish motives or grudges you may have, the affairs of state come first. Your responsibility now is to defend this place. If you can't even do this, no one would dare to entrust you with anything, no matter how good you are at fighting."
After Shen Mo said this, he took his men away and headed towards Yunzhou City in the cold winter.
When he returned to Piaomiao City, he accompanied Cui Jing back to Yunzhou City.
With Chen Sui stationed on the west bank of Piaomiao River, the pressure on Piaomiao City was relieved a lot. With Zhi Tong handling daily chores and a general garrisoning the city, it was manageable.
Cui Jing could also escape from Miaozhou and do other things.
On the way, Cui Jing was still feeling a little uneasy. He called Chen Mo to the carriage to play chess with him and asked him, "Tell me, why is the Lord in Yunzhou City and why did he ask us to go there?"
Chen Mo didn't know much about this: "The master just asked me to go back, saying it was the New Year and asked me to go back to celebrate the New Year."
"He must be sick to go back for the New Year." Cui Jing couldn't help but complain, "Even if the situation in Northern Yan is stable now, if he wants to have a reunion, he should go to Miaozhou. Most of Northern Yan's garrisons are in Miaozhou."
The Northern Yan army stationed south of Jiangshui now has more than 400,000 troops, with more than 100,000 scattered across the country stationed for defense and to maintain order. There are 50,000 troops in the southwest, and the number has even grown to 100,000.
The rest are all on the west bank of Piaomiao River and the northern camp outside Piaomiao City.
If Yan Xingchuan wanted to find a place to stay for the New Year, he should go back to Piaomiao City. There was no point in coming to Yunzhou City!
strangeness.
It's really weird.
"Could it be to avoid being idle?" Shen Mo guessed.
Cui Jing glanced at him and asked, "Do you think it's possible?"
Who is Yan Xingchuan? He has always been at the forefront of all the battles fought by Northern Yan over the years. It is impossible for him to want to hide away and leave so many people aside.
"And what did he mean by asking me to come over?"
Shen Mo touched his chin and guessed: "Could it be that Wang Ji is here too?"
Cui Jing's expression changed immediately, and he immediately denied it: "This is impossible. Ah Si went home long ago. Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing his expression change, Shen Mo immediately apologized: "Okay, I was wrong. As for the reason, can't we just go and take a look?"
"That's true." Cui Jing narrowed his eyes, and his fingers almost crushed the chess piece.
"I want to see what our master comes up with next."
......
On December 15th, Chen Mo and Cui Jing had not yet arrived in Yunzhou City, but Chang Ru arrived first. She was brought there by her brother, General Xiao Chang.
General Xiao Chang is also a general. His name is Chang Pu. He is twenty-four years old this year. In order to distinguish him from his father, General Chang, the word "Xiao" is added to the front of his name, and he is called General Xiao Chang.
They stopped and started many times along the way due to the wind and snow, and Chang Ru also fell ill twice, which delayed them for quite a while, so they only arrived at this time.
The brother and sister found a house to live in, and Chang Pu went to visit Yan Xingchuan.
"My Lord, what kind of person is this Cui Sanlang?"
"What kind of person is he? He's like a cunning and sly fox who schemes against others." Yan Xingchuan complained.
Chang Pu agreed with this statement. He had heard of Cui Jing's name even in Beiyan City. It was very powerful that he could trick Chen Sui into such a state.
After Yan Xingchuan finished speaking, he added: "However, he comes from a noble family and values etiquette and morality. As long as you don't provoke him, he will be kind to others."
"If the Chang family wants to marry him, and if he agrees, I think they won't treat your sister unfairly."
Cui Jing cares about his own reputation, the reputation of the Cui family, and even more about his future. When encountering something, if he disagrees, he will directly explain the reason. He will avoid making enemies if possible. If he agrees, he will naturally not put on a different expression.
"If the Chang family is interested and he is happy, then naturally the two families will be friends. If he is not interested, you don't have to force it. There are many young men in Beiyan, and there will definitely be one who is suitable for Madam Chang."
Having said that, the truth is the same, but the Chang family is somewhat unwilling to accept it. It feels like there is a breath of resentment in their hearts that they can neither spit out nor swallow.
Even if I can't find a better one for Chang Ru, I have to find someone similar so that I can feel relieved.
He actually wanted to make their daughter a concubine. The men of the Chang family would beat him every time they saw Shen Sui.
Do you really think that their family members are easy to bully?
"You go back first and have a good rest. I'll let you know when the people arrive."
"Yes, my lord."
After Chang Pu said goodbye and left, Yan Xingchuan had Cui Hao come over and told her something: "The Chang family is interested in forming a marriage with the Cui family. I want to set up a connection between Madam Chang and your third brother. Your third brother should be here in two days."
"Madam Chang is coming from Beiyan City. I heard from her brother that he is ill. Go to the storehouse to get some things and go visit him."
"Mrs. Chang?" Cui Hao was stunned when she heard it, and for a moment she couldn't figure out which Madam Chang she was from.
"She is the daughter of General Chang, who guards Beiyan City and was previously engaged to Shen Sui."
Cui Hao was stunned again: "Then isn't she going to marry General Shen?"
"Chen Sui wanted to marry Wu's daughter, so he went to the Chang family and made a big fuss, asking Madam Chang to be his concubine. This angered the Chang family, and they wanted to find another marriage for Madam Chang."
Cui Hao was so shocked that his eyes widened and he was stunned.
Is Chen Sui crazy? He actually wants someone else's good girl to be his concubine. You have to know that the Chang family is also a family of military generals with a high status in Northern Yan. How could someone else's girl be his concubine?
This is simply humiliating.
"Don't worry, my Lord. Jiu Niang will go see Madam Chang right away. Oh, and we need a doctor. Can we ask Doctor Lin from the Xinglin Clinic to come over?"
Yan Xingchuan naturally had no objection: "Then send someone to invite him."
"By the way, how is your sister feeling today?"
"My sister is fine. She is making a little tiger for the child with the embroiderer. My Lord, I will go back and tell my sister and then I will be there."
"Go ahead."
Cui Hao returned to the inner courtyard and saw the embroiderer there, so she changed her story: "Sister, my brother-in-law said that Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang came to Yunzhou City. I heard that Mrs. Chang was ill, so my brother-in-law asked me to go and visit her with gifts."
"Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang?" Cui Si paused, then immediately thought of the Chang brothers and sisters, and then nodded, "Then go ahead. Ask someone to go slowly on the road and wear more clothes. Oh, and call a doctor for Mrs. Chang."
"Don't worry, sister. I've asked someone to get Doctor Lin."
