Chapter 71: Prince Pingguo, Jiang Shao
Mr. Cui Si was immediately choked.
In order to get married better, noble ladies from aristocratic families naturally have to have some good skills.
She has been cultivating her appearance, maintaining her temperament and practicing her skills since she was young.
She is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also manage the household and govern the people.
Cui Yao was an expert in poetry and painting, while Cui Si was no worse than Cui Yao in these aspects and was also superb in seal carving.
The precious jewelry she made with her own hands is all beautiful and exquisite.
However, as the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, she usually only treated this matter as a pastime and rarely did she do it herself.
Cui Hao had a pair of Bubu Shenglian tassel earrings made for her by Cui Si. They were both luxurious and exquisite, and Cui Banniang envied them for a long time.
Although this hairpin is made of silver, it is made extremely cleverly and exquisitely. Cui Banniang is so happy that she doesn't know how happy she is.
With an expressionless face, Mr. Cui put the amber and silver butterfly hairpin into his sleeve and placed it in the sleeve pocket covered by his large sleeve. Then he coughed and said, "Since the second house is in a hurry, let me discuss it with the elders this afternoon."
Cui Si smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Fourth Uncle."
"You're welcome."
I don’t know what’s going on, but when Mr. Cui Si faces Cui Si, he always feels nervous and uneasy, as if the other party is his elder.
It's really strange.
"But Liuniang, do you have any candidates for Ah Hao's mother's family?"
Cui Si shook her head upon hearing this. "Sixth Lady, I haven't thought about this. If my maternal grandparents, the Yan family, are willing, that would be the most suitable. I'll send someone to ask them when I get back. If the Yan family isn't willing, I still have a few friends."
If a ghost marriage is arranged, Cui Hao's mother's family will have to interact with the Cui family as in-laws, and the candidate must be carefully selected.
Besides, Cui Hao was a little naive, so Cui Si felt that it would be better to keep the selection in her own hands.
"Then as soon as possible."
"In ten days at the latest, I will give Fourth Uncle a candidate."
"Okay, and about Ah Hao's ranking, the youngest among you is Ba Niang. She's a few months younger than Ah Hao, but it wouldn't be a good idea to ask her to change it. How about this: Ah Hao will be marked one year younger, so she'll be number nine. What do you think?"
"Can."
As long as the most important thing is done and Cui Hao's mother is allowed in, the rest are trivial matters and are not too important.
And this is the best way. If Cui Hao takes away Cui Banniang's ranking as soon as he is ranked, she will have been Cui Banniang for thirteen years and then become Cui Jiuniang. She may not be happy about it.
Don't let any other trouble happen.
"In that case, thank you very much, Fourth Uncle."
After Cui Si and Mr. Cui Si agreed on the matter, she took Cui Ping and Cui Hao out of the ancestral hall and returned to the second wife's house.
As soon as she got home, she asked the two of them to leave, wrote a letter, and called two guards to send it to her maternal grandfather's family, the Yan family.
The Yan family is not somewhere else, but in Pingzhou City. They are a famous family in Pingzhou City.
Although the Yan family is not as famous as the Cui family, they are also the masters of Pingzhou. However, they have been operating for many years and have a deep foundation. They are one of the famous and prominent families in the area.
.
Six days later, Yan Xingchuan personally led his troops to capture Yuanzhou City and took control of Yuanzhou, adding another state to the territory of Northern Yan.
The remaining imperial troops fled in panic towards Yunzhou.
After taking control of Yuanzhou City, Yan Xingchuan ordered people to reorganize the aristocratic families in the city and appease the people, and then summoned civil and military officials to discuss how to fight Yunzhou next.
"I heard that the Prince of Pingguo is already in Yunzhou. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, we must be extremely careful."
The Great Zhou was on the verge of crumbling, half of it had fallen into the hands of others, and the remaining half, still supporting it forward, was made up of the only remaining royal family, and that was the Duke Ping's Mansion.
The Mansion of the Duke of Pingguo was none other than the Mansion of the Marquis of Pingnan, which was once known as the Northern and Southern Marquises together with the Marquis of Zhenbei.
The prince of Pingguo, Jiang Shao, was once a favored child of heaven, on par with Yan Xingchuan's elder brother Yan Xingshan. His martial arts skills and ability to command battles were unmatched in the world.
To put it bluntly, when Yan Xingshan and Jiang Shao were hailed as the two heroes in the imperial city and were praised by people all over the world, Yan Xingchuan was probably still parading around with a dogtail grass in his mouth.
When he was young, he wanted to be a playboy. Although he had good talent, he really didn't put much effort into it.
Even though they have been forced to grow up over the years and have fought their way out, the Northern Yan army is not afraid of the army of the Duke of Pingguo Mansion. However, if they fight with Jiang Shaoling's army, it is estimated that the battle will be particularly difficult.
Therefore, even though Yuanzhou City had been captured, the civil officials and soldiers had no smiles on their faces, only heavy worries.
Yan Xingchuan was wearing armor and standing in the middle of the sand table, his fingers clenched into fists.
Are we facing Jiang Shao again?
The former heir of the two marquisates, the Zhenbei Marquisate fell into trouble, his entire family was killed, blood flowed like a river, and his elder brother Yan Xingshan had long been buried in the earth.
The Pingnan Marquis Mansion was rewarded and became the "Pingguo Duke Mansion", and Jiang Shao became a loyal minister and general praised by everyone.
He was loyal and upright, and worked hard to maintain this ruined court. Some people praised his loyalty, while others laughed at him for being stupid, but he just laughed it off.
"Jiang Shao is nothing but a hypocritical villain." Yan Xingchuan sneered.
He and Jiang Shao are also fighting to the death.
In his previous life, when he was fighting against Jiang Shao in Yunzhou City, he also thought that Jiang Shao was indeed a foolishly loyal person. Thinking of the friendship between him and his elder brother, he let him take the "execution of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion" as a warning and turn to the light.
I never thought that he looked righteous and loyal, but he was actually a hypocrite.
It was not until later that Yan Xingchuan learned that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was destroyed because of the suspicion and intolerance of the foolish emperor, and secondly, the obstruction of the then Pingnan Marquis Mansion, now the Pingguo Duke Mansion.
The Yan family’s blood feud involves both the former Pingnan Marquis Mansion and the current Pingguo Duke Mansion.
They are not loyally protecting this court that is about to collapse. They want to earn enough reputation so that when the court collapses, they can immediately raise the banner of "justice", pacify the world and eliminate the rebels.
By that time, the world will rightfully belong to the Jiang family.
Also, the destruction of the Lin family was also the work of the Jiang family.
He was separated from Lin Qingning, and Lin Qingning fell into the hands of Jiang Shao, who hid her away as a prostitute, starting a half-life that was too painful to look back on.
She learned the skills of a prostitute to serve men, and was abused and bullied by him since she was a child. Later, he felt that this was not enough, so he threw her to other men for their entertainment.
In the previous life, Yan Xingchuan captured the imperial city, and Jiang Shao committed suicide. Before he died, he did not forget to feed Lin Qingning poison, making Lin Qingning unable to live or die.
Jiang Shao did all this not for anything else, but because Lin Qingning was the fiancée of his elder brother Yan Xingshan.
Because Jiang Shao was extremely jealous of Yan Xingshan, he was unwilling to let go of anything related to Yan Xingshan.
Including the Yan family, the Lin family, and Lin Qingning...
