Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 407 Father and Son

Liao Palace bedroom

After receiving the news from Yelunan, Yeluertu and Yelulan, who were sitting by the window admiring the snow, heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Ever since the two started the cold war, they have been worried. Now that the two of them can sit down and have a good talk, they can rest assured.

"Let someone tell Anan that he must be coaxed tonight." Yelu Lan waved back the eunuch, and looked at Yeluertu, who was sitting across from him, who was obviously relieved, "Father has been worried these days, but because of their two human quarrel?"

"If it's really possible to quarrel, it's not a big deal, but Afeng avoids Anan, and he can't quarrel if he wants to." Yeluertu rubbed his forehead, and the feelings of his children also gave him a headache. "If Anan doesn't act again, your Uncle Qi will probably go to the door with a knife." He looked at his son, "General Zhen Guo's favor is not easy to owe, since you owe it, you have to think about how to pay it back. "

"My son thought my father would say that I don't have to worry about debts. After all, I will owe more and more debts in the future." Picking up the fire chopsticks and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin, Yelulan's tone sounded very indifferent, "General Zhen Guo is a heroine, and she does things more openly and aboveboard than a man. I don't think he will seize this little kindness and force us to do something. Father doesn't have to take it to heart."

"That's the case." Yelu Ertu nodded in agreement, "Tomorrow should not be free, anyway, they will stay in Linhuang Mansion for a while, if you are free, go and see. In the future, we will cooperate with them , it’s not convenient for me to come forward, so you and Anan must be represented.”

"Yes, my son also wants to appreciate the demeanor of this female general." Yelulan smiled, "Speaking of which, my father has refused to see you again and again during this period, so are you going to agree to their request, or not?" Are you willing to forgive their actions?"

"The first time we met, you were there, what do you think?" Yeluertu didn't answer, but threw a new question to his son. "If you were in the position of being a father, would you make the same choice as being a father?"

"Yes!" Yelulan nodded affirmatively, "But the reason is not necessarily the same as that of my father."

"Oh?" Yeluertu stared at his son with great interest, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tell me, what is the reason for your rejection of them."

"It's disgusting." Yelulan said contemptuously. "Since you have the courage to do such a thing, you should always be stubborn and let others look at you. Now that the incident has happened, but you have to be humble. It's really low." In addition, I don't know what King Duan was thinking, to send such an envoy, no matter what the official position is, they all have a flattering expression, and there is no demeanor that an envoy should have. I was thrown away. My father didn't know about it, and the actions of the Duan Clan's envoys have now become a laughing stock in the city."

"This probably has nothing to do with the envoy. It should be ordered by King Duan. If there is no clear instruction, you will give the envoy eight courages, and he will not do such a disgraceful act." Seeing his son's puzzled eyes, Yelu Ertu picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, "It's hard to understand?" Seeing Yelulan nodding, he smiled and said, "Because it's wrong, if it wasn't wrong, why did the three envoys of the Kingdom of Jin go to see them so fast? Wait and see, the snow will stop tomorrow, besides our own people, they must be the first visitors to the inn door."

"It turned out to be like this." Yelulan suddenly realized, "First, he sent someone to assassinate Anan, but failed, and was caught by the Shen family army. Their eyeliner, they made too many enemies, and they panicked all of a sudden. That's why they thought about the trick of seeing people with a smile on their faces. Looking at it this way, King Duan is too timid. If he seriously searches, he will come to Huang's mansion You can find a lot of detailed works, right? It’s not something to make a fuss about.”

"You're thinking too simply. It's not just careful work. Most importantly, they are afraid that we and Xia will pursue the matter of assassination and framing. If we insist on holding on to it and insist on them giving an explanation, it's not sending us." It's as simple as envoys coming to plead guilty and ask for marriage. Besides, if we and Xia don't let them go, those headed by Jin will probably not let go." Yeluertu waved his hand and poured himself wine, " Another point, you are also wrong. King Duan is not timid, but he knows that his strength is not as good as others. He is worried that we will use this as an excuse to collude with Xia and send troops to destroy them. If he destroys the country because of this, he may be ashamed I went to see the ancestors. Therefore, I sent envoys in a hurry, but unexpectedly, they ran into the funeral of the ancestor."

"During the national funeral, all weddings and funerals are stopped, and the children of the clan are prohibited from entering and leaving any amusement places. Duan's proposal of marriage at this time is not sincerely asking for peace?" Yelulan's sneer deepened, "Could it be their national funeral? During this period, are there no taboos?"

"They are different from us, but they really don't have too many taboos." Yeluertu sighed, "It's unlucky for them not to consider this."

"Father will definitely not agree to the marriage?"

"Of course I won't agree. The folk customs of the Duan family are too open, and the degree of toughness of the women is unimaginable. Even if it is a marriage, even if it is a decoration, it will not choose a daughter of the Duan family. It's a misfortune, not a blessing."

"Sturdy?" Yelulan disapproved, "Could we be as strong as our Liao women? Or like General Zhen Guo, how many people were killed with a single whip?"

"Hey, where do you want to go? It's not this tough!"

Yeluertu waved his hand, and seeing his son's calm expression, he suddenly felt that he was a particularly incompetent father.Counting with his fingers, his son has grown up and reached the age of being familiar with personnel affairs.Thinking back to when I was at Ah Lan's age, there were three or two maids serving in the room.Think about those nephews in the clan, basically none of them can be as clean as their own sons.

After such a calculation, Yeluertu felt guilty, felt that he was particularly sorry for his son, and decided to make up for it from now on.

"Father?" Yelu Lan waited for a long time, but she didn't hear Yeluertu continue to speak. Seeing the expression on the other party's face, she felt even more strange. "What is father thinking?"

"It's nothing." Yelu Ertu smiled, "You have stayed in Linhuang Mansion all year round, and it is understandable that you have never heard of Duan's rumors. As for Duan's, there are always more men than women, so it is better for women Especially... tolerant."

"Tolerance?" Yelulan sneered, "It's not just about tolerance, is it? Being favored and proud, doing such a thing is not ashamed, but proud."

"Almost." Yeluertu nodded, "If a daughter of the Duan family or any other noble daughter in the country falls in love with a young master, no matter if he is from a high family or a poor family, they will try their best to get him back home, completely ignoring their own interests. Whether the reputation is good or bad. Not to mention, there are children with unknown fathers who go to other countries to make peace." Seeing his son's dumbfounded look, he shook his head, picked up the teapot next to him, and refilled his son with a cup of tea , "Have you never heard of it? This is new to us, but it is very common to others."

"Since this is the case, please father refuse to marry." Yelunan held up the tea bowl with both hands and took a sip. "No matter how miserable the children of the clan are, they will not marry such a woman to start."

"What about you?" Yeluertu looked at Yelulan seriously, "You are also old, it's time to get married, have you considered the choice of wife? Is there anyone in mind?" Seeing his son calm He frowned slightly, "You won't be like Anan, you like men?"

"Father, don't worry, the son is not." Yelulan shook her head, "Even Anan, he doesn't like men, but it just so happens that Afeng's brother is a boy. As for the choice of wife... What does father think about marrying Daxia?"

It was the first time for Yeluertu to hear his son talk about his marriage in a serious way. Although he had vaguely guessed it before, he was still a little surprised to hear it with his own ears.

"I thought about it with my father." Yelu Ertu looked at the snow outside the window, and closed the window a little bit, "However, Emperor Xia has not yet married, and his brothers and sisters are not suitable for you. Although the elder The princess is of the right age, but she is not from the blood of the Song family. In fact, according to my opinion, instead of marrying a member of the Song family, General Zhen Guo is a good candidate, what do you think?"

"General Zhenguo is definitely not allowed." Yelulan shook her head firmly, "If the father of such a powerful general is Emperor Xia, would he let go? Absolutely impossible, if we make such a request Not to mention the marriage, everyone in Xia Kingdom will think that we are here to provoke, and there will be another war at the border. Father, don't mention this matter again."

"I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously. If you really want to marry General Zhen Guo for you, you won't wait until now as a father." Yeluertu smiled, "But, have you really thought about it?"

"Yeah!" Yelulan nodded, "I don't care if Emperor Xia marries a princess, a princess, or a daughter of the Song family, as long as her surname is Song. Father, we have no right to be picky. If we can marry With the marriage of Great Xia, fewer people will switch to the Xiao family, which is beneficial to us."

"Hey!" Yelu Ertu sighed heavily, "It's hard for you to think about this at such a young age."

"Father was joking. Father just said that his son has reached the age of marriage. Besides, since he is father's son, he must share his father's worries." Seeing that the wine cup was empty, Yelulan picked up the wine pot and poured it out. Some, "Father rejected Duan's envoys several times. They will definitely not be reconciled. There won't be any troubles at the palace banquet tomorrow night, right?"

"They will make trouble if they have the courage." Yeluertu picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. "The bigger the trouble, the more interesting it is. Anyway, we are not the ones who are ashamed."
