Chapter 404 Cui Jing and Chen Mo Return
Chang Ru was stunned. She had thought of many reasons, but she never expected it to be this one.
Who is Cui Jing? He is the best young man in the Cui family. Few people in Northern Yan do not know his name. According to his achievements, it is no problem for him to be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister in the future.
The daughter of the Wang family actually betrayed Cui Jing for someone else?
Cui Si said: "What's the big deal? Not everyone has good eyesight and knows who is good. Just like General Shen, he delayed Madam Chang for four or five years and refused to marry her, which led to the current situation."
"Besides, everyone may have different desires in life. Madam Wang may wish to have someone accompany her every day, drinking tea and wine, reciting poems and composing essays, but my third brother cannot give her these."
"I know the Chang family was a bit impulsive in choosing my third brother, and I hope Madam Chang will seriously consider what the future holds. After all, given the reputations of our two families, there's probably no going back once we get married."
Chang Ru suddenly thought of Cui Si and Yan Xingchuan who were together but not married. Maybe they also felt unsure whether they could continue. Once they got married, there would be no turning back.
Having said that, Cui Si smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't say much about this. Anyway, I still like spending time with Madam Chang. It's like meeting an old friend. If Madam Chang is free, you can come visit more often."
Chang Ru nodded: "Talking to Wang Ji, I also feel like I've known an old friend for a long time."
There were no false greetings, and everyone spoke frankly and clearly, making it really comfortable to get along with them.
At this moment, a maid brought hot tea and snacks, and Cui Si asked her to taste them: "This tea is the good tea we got earlier. Unfortunately, I can't drink much now, so I won't drink it with Madam Chang. The snacks are also made in the kitchen. You can try them and see if they suit your taste."
Cui Hao also nodded at the side: "Yes, Madam Chang, eat more, this snack is delicious. My sister usually tells me to eat less, saying that if I eat more, I will gain weight."
Chang Ru bit her lip, still feeling worried, so she asked Cui Si: "I was engaged to Shen Sui before. The Cui family is a prominent family and they are very particular about etiquette. Will they have any objections..."
Cui Si immediately said, "This is because some people don't know how to cherish and appreciate their blessings. What does this have to do with Madam Chang? Besides, my third brother also broke off the engagement. No one is laughing at anyone else."
Chang Ru thought to herself, this is different. Men and women are different after all. Breaking off an engagement is just a temporary joke for a man, but for a woman, it is like a shame.
"Don't worry, the Cui family won't mind this. Besides, as long as my third brother and grandmother acknowledge it, we can just listen to other people's opinions. If anyone dares to gossip, have them slap them in the face and ask them where they come from."
"Besides, if I had to make a fuss about it, I'd probably have my legs broken if I acted like this."
"When the Cui family interacts with others, they first emphasize etiquette and are considerate and kind to others. If the other party is unreasonable, then the people around me also know a little bit of fighting."
"Just remember this in the future, and you don't have to swallow your anger."
Chang Ru: “…”
It's really great that he knows a little bit about fighting. How come this family of scholars is more brutal than their family of military commanders?
Cui Si then added, "As for me, I don't have any requests for my sister-in-law, but I just want you to be more respectful and filial to our grandmother."
This was all she asked of her sister-in-law.
As for Mr. Cui and Song Rou, that’s none of her business. None of their brothers and sisters like them. Do they really want their sister-in-law to be a good daughter-in-law?
.
The three of them sat together drinking tea and talking. The heavy snow outside had just stopped, the sky and the earth were covered in white, the cold wind was raging, and the heating in the house was rising, warm as spring.
On the other side, Chang Pu did not leave after meeting Yan Xingchuan. Instead, he asked Yun Gang about the Cui family.
Yun Gang picked out some things to say to him, and finally, patted Chang Pu on the shoulder and said with emotion: "If this marriage can be completed, it would be great. Mr. Cui has a bright future!"
If Yan Xingchuan did not get married, this child would be considered the legitimate eldest son. Moreover, seeing that Yan Xingchuan only wanted to live with Cui Si, as long as the child could hold his own, he would just pat his butt and make room for him.
Yan Xingchuan didn't care about the matter. Cui Jing was the child's uncle. As long as he treated the child well, he wouldn't be in any trouble.
Even though human hearts are unpredictable and emperors are fickle, he doesn't think Yan Xingchuan and Cui Si would give birth to such an ungrateful child.
Even if one day, the country is really affected, as long as the Cui family does not make a big mistake, the child will definitely be properly placed, and will definitely have the honor and descendants he deserves.
Chang Pu smiled and said, "We are indeed attracted by his background and future prospects, but we are more interested in his character and ability. If he can protect my sister like he protects Princess Wang, our Chang family will be satisfied."
As the two were talking, a personal guard came to report that Cui Jing and Shen Mo had entered the city and were almost at the gate.
"Oh, you're back so soon. Go to the front to greet them and invite them in. I'll go tell the master." Yun Gang gave this instruction and got up to meet Yan Xingchuan.
Chang Pu was also anxious to see what kind of person Cui Jing was, so he said, "I'll go and see him too. I haven't seen Chen Mo for a long time, and I don't know if he's grown up."
The guard said, "It should be a little longer. Then General Chang, please come with me."
"Let's go."
The two of them hurried out.
The house that Cui Si bought was not small, but not big either. There were three courtyards in the inner courtyard and three courtyards in the outer courtyard. It was not far to the door. If you walked faster, you could reach the door in just a few sips of water.
When they arrived, a servant lifted the curtain of the carriage and Cui Jingzheng came out of the carriage and walked down.
He was wearing a blue robe with a blue satin cloak trimmed with white fox fur. His long hair was crowned with a gold and jade square crown, and the rest of his hair fell casually behind him.
He has a handsome face, gentle and calm eyebrows, and a pair of slender fox eyes, which seem to be smiling, as if his eyes are embellished with the myriad brilliance of the world.
He is gentle and calm, dignified and elegant. He is truly a man as beautiful as jade and a unique young man in the world.
"Mr. Cui, General Shen." The guards stepped forward and saluted. "You two are finally back. The Lord has been waiting for a long time."
"Brother Chang, why are you here!" Shen Mo also got out of the carriage with a look of surprise.
"Chen Er." Chang Pu came back to his senses and saw that the gaze had been withdrawn.
Chen Mo was so happy that he almost grinned. He stepped forward and patted Chang Pu on the shoulder: "Why did you go south too? Haven't you always been with your father?"
Chang Pu said, "Father is currently guarding Beiyan City, so there's nothing important going on. I have something to do and I'm going south."
Chang Pu spoke, then turned his gaze to Cui Jing and said, "This must be Mr. Cui, right? I am Chang Pu, and I have long heard of Mr. Cui's great name."
