Chapter 56 If you dare to let me be your son-in-law, I will die in front of you!
It is impossible to be small.
Yan Xingchuan was furious when he thought about her marrying someone else, and being her mistress was simply ridiculous.
So Shen Mo, who came up with this "good idea", was dragged into the fight and was beaten black and blue.
On the next morning, Yan Xingchuan sobered up, packed up, and summoned the Cui family members and ten scholars selected from the Xianyang Academy.
Cui Jing had a drinking relationship with Shen Mo before, and seeing that his face was blue and red, he couldn't help but ask him with concern: "General Shen, what's wrong?"
Was he beaten?
Who has the guts to attack the trusted general of the King of Northern Yan?
Chen Mo glanced at the person sitting in the upper seat with resentment, his eyes sharp as a knife, but Yan Xingchuan was as steady as a mountain, standing still, as if he hadn't seen anything at all.
"Nothing, I drank a little last night and accidentally fell."
Who would believe that I accidentally fell?
However, since now was not the time to discuss this matter, Cui Jing stepped forward and asked Yan Xingchuan, "Right now, all matters concerning Pingzhou City still require the Lord's decision. I wonder when the Lord will return to Pingzhou City?"
"We'll leave in the afternoon," Yan Xingchuan replied. "I summoned you today to discuss this matter. Later, you should go back and pack your things and follow me to Pingzhou City."
Everyone bowed and said, "Yes."
Yan Xingchuan continued, "This trip to Pingzhou City has two things to do. First, we must recapture the cities and towns in Pingzhou, and second, we must deal with the imperial army. The battlefield is ruthless, and life and death are unpredictable. You all must think clearly at this time."
"If you are still willing to go, then come. If not, I will assume that you are unwilling."
The crowd said again, "We are willing to go and swear allegiance to the monarch until death. We are not afraid of life or death."
"Okay, then I will wait for you."
After letting everyone disperse and leaving behind the Cui clan members, Yan Xingchuan asked the head of the Cui clan, "Who from the Cui clan will follow me to Pingzhou City?"
The head of the Cui family said, "The Cui family has already discussed this matter. There are sixteen of our men in the Cui family who are willing to share the master's worries and orders."
"Okay." Yan Xingchuan agreed, and then said, "There is one more thing I want to make clear to you. I have thought about it carefully, and I still feel that your Sixth Lady is not suitable."
"Since Miss Cui Liu is already engaged, I...cannot do such a thing as forcibly snatching her away... Let's discuss marrying Miss Cui later."
As soon as Yan Xingchuan finished speaking, the faces of the Cui family members changed.
Just as Patriarch Cui was about to speak, Yan Xingchuan added, "Although it is difficult for me to decide on a queen for the time being, my generals are also very outstanding, Shen Mo."
"Huh?" Shen Mo was confused and pointed at himself.
"General Shen is my king's trusted and beloved general. He is young, handsome, and unparalleled in his bravery. I have chosen someone for him: Cui Hao, the second daughter of the Cui family. What do you think?"
"What?!"
Shen Mo almost jumped up.
What's going on? How did it become that he's getting engaged?
Who to choose?
That crybaby with the flirty name?!
Yan Xingchuan glanced at him coldly and told him to shut up.
The people of the Cui family were slightly surprised, and some even couldn't remember who Cui Hao was.
Cui Jing was very surprised: "The Lord wants to arrange a marriage between General Shen and my Ah Hao?"
"Indeed, my beloved general, is he worthy of the Cui family's daughter?"
If you deserve it, you deserve it.
Yan Xingchuan is a local overlord, and Chen Mo is also a brave and powerful general. He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, very young. Cui Hao is a good match for him, and even a bit of a step up.
"But Ah Hao is only thirteen years old..."
"It's okay. Chen Mo is only seventeen. Let's arrange the marriage first. When she reaches the age of marriage, let Chen Mo marry her."
Cui Jing and Mr. Cui Sanye, the head of the Cui family, looked at each other and nodded in unison, indicating that he agreed.
There have been so many incidents regarding the position of the queen of the Cui family. Originally, the Cui family was waiting for news from the second house, planning to marry Cui Si to it. But now Yan Xingchuan says that he is not satisfied with Cui Si either. It is hard to say whether he will marry the Cui family daughter as queen in the future.
In this way, marrying a girl from the Cui family to Chen Mo, Yan Xingchuan's trusted young general, would be good for the Cui family.
Cui Jing thought about it and agreed: "Then according to the master's wishes, Cui is willing to marry Ah Hao to General Shen."
"That's great, you guys go back and prepare."
"yes."
The Cui clan members bowed and left. After they left, Shen Mo jumped up and said, "Master, what are you going to do?"
Yan Xingchuan glanced at him coldly and said, "I'll find you a wife."
"But how old am I? And Cui Hao... well, she's just a crybaby. She looks so delicate, and if I raise my hand, she probably thinks I'm going to hit her..."
“你不乐意？”燕行川冷呵，“这还是看在你昨天挨了揍的份上，给你定这门亲，你若是不乐意，我便立刻告知崔氏一族你不娶。”
"...Is this a question of willingness? I've never thought about getting married." Chen Mo was extremely annoyed and scratched his head. "Can't you give me a suitable reason?"
"The only valid reason is that you missed her. Your wife is still nowhere to be found. Besides, since I won't marry a daughter of the Cui family as my queen, I have to appease the Cui family. Just think of it as a matter of the greater good."
Chen Mo choked: "So I am the comfort given by the master to the Cui family, right?"
Yan Xingchuan reached out and picked up the teacup beside him, taking a sip. "That's not the case. If you were to appease the Cui family, I would have made you my son-in-law."
Chen Mo: "...If you dare to ask me to be your son-in-law, I will die in front of you!"
Yan Xingchuan laughed.
"Don't laugh, I'm serious about what I say."
"Okay, if you're serious, don't be impatient. It's just an arranged marriage, and we'll have to wait at least two years before we can get married. If you're still unwilling by then, you can only say that you're not meant to be with that Lady Cui, and I'll help you out."
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
"Well... okay then." Chen Mo wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, with a look of having survived a disaster.
Yan Xingchuan looked at him like this and felt a little envious.
Chen Mo and Cui Hao still have a future, but he and Cui Si will never have a future in this life.
He is leaving Xianyang City on this trip, and perhaps they will never see each other again.
When he thought of this, Yan Xingchuan felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
"You have to cherish your blessings. Sometimes, there are only so many opportunities between people. If you miss them, you may only be able to hope for an afterlife..."
When the news reached the Cui family, Cui Si was slightly surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable.
Yan Xingchuan still had some conscience and knew to arrange a marriage for the two of them so that they would not miss out on their chance to be together.
Cui Si asked Cui Jing, "Did you agree?"
"I agree." Cui Jing nodded. "Ah Hao is not you. You have always had your own opinions and know what you want. Ah Hao doesn't have her own ideas. It's enough to just choose a good one for her."
"By the way, I'm about to follow the King of Northern Yan to Pingzhou City, and I don't know when I'll be back.
Ah Hao is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, but she is not recognized by the Cui family and therefore has no rank. Now she is going to be engaged to General Shen, you must fight for her. "
