The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 824

Spring outing, apricot blossoms blowing all over your head.Someone in Moshang is young and flirtatious.

The concubine intends to marry her and leave her for the rest of her life.Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you cannot be ashamed.

——"Sidi Township Spring Tour" Wei Zhuang (Tang Dynasty)
……

After drinking for three rounds, both the host and guest are happy.

Bai Fu, a powerful official like Bai Fu, is decisive and capable, and says what he says.

Only then did Cui Xunhe and other Cui's children realize that there is a lot of benefit in getting into a relationship with Bai Fu, and they promise nothing but real benefits, which is easier to deal with than the crooked Uncle Fox.

So, all the disciples let go of their prejudices, raised their glasses frequently, and toasted Bai Fu to show their goodwill.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Cui Wei looked at Cui Qian, Cui Meng and others, all the elders of the clan nodded secretly.

Cui Wei ordered the maid to fill Bai Fu's wine cup.Cui Wei raised his glass and said to Bai Fu: "General, Xun Yan, the old daughter-in-law, is twenty-eight years old and famous in Jinghua. This old man is willing to betroth the youngest daughter to the general as his concubine. I don't know what the general wants?"

Cui Wei's voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible.It was related to the Cui clan's plan to prosper the dragon, all the Cui clan members in the house kept silent and pricked up their ears, waiting for Bai Fu's reply.

Although Bai Fu was prepared, he still couldn't believe his ears.

As I said before, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is extremely important, and the most respected are the five noble surnames of Cui, Lu, Li, and King Zheng.

For a person like Bai Fu who came from a poor family but has a successful career, if he wants to improve his status, there are two ways:
First, forged genealogy, saying that their ancestors were a certain prince and nobleman in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties.Brothers Li Yan and Li Qiu hinted that when Bai Fu described his family tree, he could trace back to the Spring and Autumn Period, saying that he was a descendant of Bai Gongsheng, the king of Chu; or that he was a descendant of Bai Qi, the famous general of Qin during the Warring States Period.

Second, in addition to forging the family tree, a more practical method is to marry a woman from a famous family, especially a woman from the Qiwang family with five surnames.

If this is not the case, even if a humble scholar is in a high position, if he does not marry the women of these five surnames, it will be a great regret in his life, and even a stain on his life.For example, Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister of Emperor Gaozong, believed that he had three hatreds in his life: he was not allowed to be a scholar, he was not allowed to marry women with five surnames, and he was not allowed to revise national history.

Xue is the surname of Hedong, and Xue Yuanchao's grandfather and father were both high-ranking officials, so he did not need to take the imperial examination, but directly entered the officialdom.Others are naturally very envious of being able to become an official without rushing for the exam.But in his later years, Xue Yuanchao regretted that he had lost his Jinshi status because he failed to take the exam.Xue Yuanchao's wife is the daughter of Emperor Taizong's younger brother. She is already a daughter of the clan, but in Xue Yuanchao's eyes, ordinary daughters of the clan are not comparable to the five surnamed women of Cui Lu, Li Zhengwang.

Conversely, once the great family declines, in order to keep the family prominent, in addition to cultivating and educating good offspring, there is another convenient way, which is to marry the daughter to a young talent with potential to support the family's appearance.

It's a win-win for each other, and it's easy to hit it off.

But even so, the Qiwang family with five surnames has never married a prostitute to a child from a poor family, let alone marrying a prostitute to a child from a poor family as a concubine.

……

Bai Fu paid a visit to Emperor Suzong and inquired about Cui's family going to the banquet.Su Zong pondered for a long time before he agreed. The only condition is: "The Cui family can accept any official position on my behalf. But if the Cui family marry their prostitute daughter to you, they must not agree."

The marriage contract between Bai Fu and Princess Qingluan is known all over the world.Naturally, it is impossible to leave the position of main wife to others.

Bai Fu also felt that Su Zong was thinking too much, how could Cui family marry his prostitute daughter to someone else as a concubine, let alone himself, a child from a poor family.

Bai Fu vaguely remembered that Yue Wang Li Xi once asked someone to be a matchmaker, and wanted to ask Cui Xunyan for a while, but Cui Wei thought it over and over again, and finally declined politely.

This is true for the prince and prince, let alone himself.

Unexpectedly, Cui Wei raised this matter in front of everyone today, it seems that it is not a temptation, let alone a child's play after drinking.

Soldiers think about things, they don't think about victory, they think about defeat first.

Faced with the greatest temptation in the world, Bai Fu was not overjoyed, but frightened.

Bai Fu gasped, for such a great gift, what virtue and ability do he have, he is really not blessed to accept it.

Bai Fu was thinking about how to politely decline, not only not to offend Mrs. Cui, but also to save Ms. Cui enough face.There was a bang of the hall door and it was pushed open forcefully.

A beauty like the orchid in the valley, who appeared in the eyes of everyone, was Cui Xunyan.

She is wearing a light yellow cloud sweater, sweeping the floor, white palace satin, plain snow and silk cloud-shaped thousand water skirt, her hair is combed in a hibiscus bun with smoke, and her face is lightly brushed with thin powder, which is bright and colorful.

She has a slender figure, giving people a feeling of fragility. On her pale and thin cheeks, the crescent moon eyes are slightly gloomy, and there is a lingering melancholy in her eyes.

Cui Xunyan walked up to Bai Fu regardless of everyone's surprised eyes.

Bai Fu didn't know what Cui Xunyan wanted to do, so he got up quickly.

Cui Xunyan looked at Bai Fu, her lips were tightly closed, pale and dry.There was a hint of bitter smile on her lips, helpless yet resolute, indifferent yet persistent, making her melancholy face present a complex and subtle expression.

Cui Xunyan said indifferently: "Her Royal Highness and I are sisters. When we heard that Sister Qingluan had a wishful husband, we were really happy for her. It was like this back then, and today it will not be loved by others.

General Bai is an unrivaled hero, an unrivaled hero, admired by women all over the world.Whoever marries a general is an eternal story like Jiangzuo Zhoulang Xiaoqiao.It's just that I already have my own heart, and the posture of Pu Liu is really not worthy of the general.

The general is a hero of the day, so naturally he doesn't know the same as a little girl like me.

Please ask the general to complete the marriage. "

After Cui Xunyan finished speaking, he put his hands together in front of his chest, raised his thumbs and folded them, bowed his head, bowed his knees, put his hands down on his abdomen, and performed the Wanfu salute.

Embarrassed, Bai Fu hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Miss Cui, don't worry, I'm not talented, and I will never do such a thing of beating mandarin ducks."

Cui Xunyan raised his head, looked around coldly, and left in a hurry.

Under the eyes of everyone, Cui Xunyan was so disrespectful that his father Cui Wei was very embarrassed.Cui Wei was furious, his face darkened, and he was about to make trouble.

Cui Qian saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried out to smooth things over.He is worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He has read countless people and is well-versed in human relations.

Cui Qian laughed, supported Cui Wei and said: "Brother, it's natural for a daughter's family to be ashamed. This matter should have been suggested by a matchmaker, and we should first discuss it with the elders of General Bai's family before making any plans.

You raised this matter in public without warning, not only caught General Bai by surprise, but also put Xun Yan's niece in shame?
Xun Yan is cautious and arrogant, and compares herself to Mulan among flowers.It's not like you don't know about being a father.

Don't rush this matter, you have to discuss it with General Bai's elders on another auspicious day. "

After all, Cui Qian hurriedly winked at Cui Wei.

Cui Wei's heart trembled, and he thought: "Thanks to the third brother's reminder, if you get angry today, you will really lose your composure. Not only will it make Mrs. Cui unable to step down from the stage, but it will also make Bai Fu see me as Mrs. Cui's jokes."

Cui Wei has deep morality, his face changes at every turn, he has a long beard in his hand, he laughed loudly, and said: "I saw General Bai today, and I fell in love with him very much, and when I was happy, I ignored it and rambling, forgetting that this matter has not been consulted yet. The opinion of Xun Yan's mother.

I was reckless, thoughtless, and confused.Let General Bai laugh.

I really had a good time today, and I drank too much wine inadvertently.Zhao Jiu in the past 30 years is a little bit up. "

The elders of the Cui family laughed loudly, got up and supported each other, and said with a smile: "I am old, I am not as strong as I was when I was young..."

Under the cover of everyone's joint efforts, the embarrassing scene turned safely.
