Chapter 433: Epilogue: Imperial City 3
The following year was the first year of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the nobles and officials in the court also brought their families to the imperial city one after another.
As dynasties changed, the capital remained the same, only the people in it changed.
At the end of March that year, Mrs. Xu and Cui Hao arrived in the imperial city and reunited with Cui Si.
Now that the world is settled, the next thing is to defend and govern the country, set laws, improve farming, promote commerce, and govern the people.
However, these are things that need to be done in the long term. The most important thing at the moment is the life events of all the civil and military officials.
Because of the constant war, many people's marriages have not been settled. Those who were engaged, like Cui Jing and Chen Mo, have never had the chance to get married. Now that they have settled down, it is indeed time to put marriage on the agenda.
Starting from March of that year, weddings began to be arranged one after another. Cui Si returned to the Duke of Renguo's Mansion twice, once to attend the wedding of Cui Jing and Chang Ru, and once to see Cui Hao off to get married.
Cui Si was not worried about the marriage of Cui Hao and Shen Mo. Both of them lived well in their previous lives. Although Cui Jing and Chang Ru were an unexpected marriage, they were both sensible people who could live a stable life, so they would not live too badly.
The only pity is that Xu Jianjia has to find another marriage partner.
In this life, Xu Dazhi was not always on the front line like in his previous life. He guarded Chongshan Pass for a long time. Although he also went with the Zhou army when they attacked, there were too many powerful generals and his achievements were not that great. He was only awarded the rank of third-rank general, which was slightly better than Cui Yi.
In the previous life, the Xu family was able to have a marquis, partly because of his merits, and partly because Xu Dazhi sacrificed his life for the country.
However, the family is still alive and living a happy and worry-free life. I think the Xu family must feel that their lives are happier now.
Cui Si thought about it and let it go.
When Xu Jianjia grows up, she will have to take good care of her and choose a suitable husband for her.
The wedding in the imperial city was bustling from March to the end of the year. People ate so much at the wedding banquet that they almost vomited. Fortunately, Cui Si had anticipated this and only went back to the Cui family. She also attended the wedding banquets of the Shangguan family and the Cheng family. She only prepared gifts and did not go to the rest.
After another year or two, children were born in each family. The court was in peace and the country was in ruins. The people who had suffered from years of war also regained some vitality and began to reproduce.
At this time, Cui Yi also reunited with his wife Deng Yue from his previous life. In this life, the two met on the way to attack Zhou. They fought side by side and walked all the way to the imperial city.
At first, the two of them were just brothers, but they got along so well together - both were big gluttons and ate a lot.
So after much thought, we decided to just get together and become husband and wife so that no one would laugh at us.
The spring breeze was warm and the peach blossoms were in full bloom. The two held their wedding ceremony. Yan Xingchuan, Cui Si and the children returned to the Duke of Renguo's Mansion together.
Cui Hao said to Cui Si with a smile, "Our fifth brother and his wife are such a perfect match. I wonder what it will be like if they have children in the future."
Cui Si said, "Maybe she gave birth to a child who is equally edible."
Two gluttons gave birth to a glutton.
Cui Hao dropped the fruit in his hand, stunned: "Really?"
"It's very likely." Cui Si laughed. "You should encourage your fifth brother to work harder to earn money to support the family. Otherwise, their salary will not be enough to eat."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
"It is a blessing to be able to eat. It is a blessing to be able to eat." Old Mrs. Xu was happy. She was living a good life now. Cui Yi was getting married, and Mr. Cui Er and Cui Changyou and others also came to the imperial city. The family was reunited, and her face was beaming.
She still likes her granddaughter-in-law Deng Yue very much. Although she is not very smart, she treats people sincerely and without any twists and turns. What's wrong with her eating a little? The Cui family can afford it.
The old lady also likes her granddaughter-in-law Chang Ru. She is virtuous, capable, and considerate. She keeps the house in order and takes good care of her younger brothers and sisters.
She lives in the mansion and doesn't have to worry about anything. She just needs to be an old lady who doesn't have to worry about anything.
The only thing she was worried about now was Cui Si.
In the past few years, Yan Xingchuan, Cui Si and their children have been living in the Daming Palace. They live together and live like a married couple, but they have never gotten married.
Although Yan Xingchuan has not married or taken in a daughter in these years, Old Lady Xu is still very worried.
What if she gets married?
If she were to marry him, Cui Si would be in an awkward situation. No matter what the future holds, she must secure this position. This is what a smart person would do. Don't wait until something really goes wrong, where you'll end up with nothing.
After the banquet, Yan Xingchuan took the children back to Daming Palace, and Cui Si stayed to accompany Old Lady Xu for one night. Old Lady Xu was worried again and brought up the old matter again.
Cui Si listened carefully to her and said, "Grandmother, if it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. I haven't married him yet. If I admit there's a relationship, then it's a relationship. If I deny it, then it's not. If that day really comes, I'll return to the Cui family. Can my third and fifth brothers still despise me and kick me out?"
"But if I really enter the Yan family, I won't be able to leave even if I want to. If he changes his mind one day and takes in many concubines, even if I am his wife, he will favor his concubines over his wife, and I will end up in a bad situation."
Old Mrs. Xu didn't believe it: "Will you let others bully you?"
Cui Si smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. If he promotes someone, I may not be his opponent. You have to know that he is the one in power, the emperor."
This is the current situation. Even if she becomes the queen, it would not be too difficult for the emperor to turn against her, depose her, and marry another woman.
Her family couldn't risk going against the emperor.
Old Mrs. Xu laughed in anger: "So it will continue like this?"
"I can see that he is truly sincere towards you. Not to mention before, in the past two or three years, I don't know how many people in the court have sent him beauties, but he refused them all. Only you, he really cares about you. If you get angry, he has to coax you."
"You haven't had a fight in the past two or three years, right?"
"Tell me, when are you going to get married? Grandma is old, and I can't let her worry about your marriage even after she dies, right?"
This was a serious statement. Cui Si was silent for a long time and then said, "When A'du ascends the throne, I will marry him."
Having lived together for so many years, it is indeed difficult to say that everything has gone as planned, but she has been able to feel at ease and stable. She no longer has any resistance to living like this and thinks it's okay.
Perhaps it is difficult for a person's life to be perfect. She should be content with having her family around her, her children growing up healthily, power and wealth.
It was him who treated her so well now and went along with her in everything, partly because of the obsession and feelings he couldn't let go of, and partly because of a debt and a desire for compensation.
In fact, she gradually let go of the resentment of the past as the days went by.
But the fact that the child will get married after ascending the throne will not change.
Well, just consider it as asking him to wait for her a little longer.
