On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 185 Children and in-laws

Different from modern times, ancient times did not prohibit marriage between cousins, or between cousins. Otherwise, how could Wang Yuyan think about marrying her cousin Murong Fu.

The only prohibition was the prohibition on marriage between people with the same surname established since the Western Zhou Dynasty. This prohibition was superficial after the Qin and Han Dynasties, but Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty issued an edict to reiterate the prohibition on marriage between people with the same surname.

Regardless of whether there is a blood relationship, as long as they have the same surname, they cannot get married.

It was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that people with the same surname, the same clan, and the same surname who were not related by blood could form husband and wife.

At first, Cui Che joked that he wanted to marry a Guanyin maid for his son. His aunt Cui Zhaorong once said with a smile: According to rumors, all the baby girls in the city will call her Guanyin maid.

Yang Guang did intend to get closer to Cui Che, whose daughter was about the same age as Bodhisattva Nu.

Bodhisattva Nu was born in November of the fourth year of Kaihuang's reign (584), while Yang Guang's daughter Guanyinnu was born in the sixth year of Kaihuang's reign (586). Let alone ancient times, even in modern times, this age difference can be ignored.

As the eldest son of Duke Cui Che of Yan State, his mother is Princess Leping, and he comes from the third family of Boling Cui family. Putting aside the princes and grandsons, there are few people in the world who have a more noble birth than Bodhisattva Nu.

The most important thing is that Yang Guang needs Cui Che's support.

For the sake of being the heir apparent, how could he begrudge a daughter? Besides, if he really wanted to marry a Bodhisattva slave, it wouldn't be considered as pushing his daughter into a pit of fire.

Cui Che looked at Yang Guang's four-year-old daughter and saw that she was well-behaved and smart, and looked like a porcelain doll. As an elder, he also liked her very much. He jokingly said to Yang Guang:

"If you choose a son-in-law for Guanyin in the future, don't forget to inform my Bodhisattva slave."

Upon hearing this, Guanyin maid shyly hid behind her mother.

Yang Guang said cheerfully:

"There is no need to choose a son-in-law. If Zicheng is interested, you and I will make a marriage contract for our children today."

Cui Che is also very satisfied with Yang Guang, the eldest daughter.

Yang Guang hopes to get closer to Cui Che, and Cui Che also hopes to have a closer relationship with Yang Guang.

With their status, their children's marriages cannot be left to the children to find true love on their own, which is mostly a political association.

Cui Che looked at Princess Xiao again and asked:

"I wonder what the princess wants?"

I took the opportunity to take a few more glances at Princess Xiao.

Princess Xiao also knew her husband's thoughts, she laughed softly:

"Your Majesty and Mr. Yan have known each other since they were young and have been like brothers. Today we are going to marry our children. It's too late for me to be happy, so how can I object?"

Naturally, there is no room for her to interfere in Guanyin's marriage.

On the bank of Zhangshui River, where Gao Huan and Er Zhu Zhao made an oath, Cui Che and Yang Guang clapped their hands and signed a marriage contract for the Bodhisattva slave and the Guanyin maid.

Cui Che also knew that this Guanyin maid was the later Princess Nanyang.

"Princess Lanling is as tall as a cold pine tree, and Princess Nanyang has a heart as thick as a bandit's stone."

Of course Cui Che knew that Guanyin Maid would be cruel in the future, but he didn't care much about it. If she really couldn't resolve her knot in the future, the worst he could do was send her to a monastery and let her escape into Buddhism.

This was her ending in the original time and space.

Although Cui Che was not originally interested in this Guanyin maid, the law does not stipulate that he can only marry one Guanyin maid. At worst, his father will be a stamp collecting queen and his son will collect Guanyin maids.

After a brief greeting, the engagement was agreed upon in a few words. Cui Che and Yang Guang did not stay long. They crossed the Zhangshui River by the stone bridge and went straight to Puban without returning to Jinyang.

Just as Cui Che and others were returning to Daxing, the appointment from the imperial court was also delivered to Dongyang City in Qingzhou.

Peixiu, the Sima of the General Administration Office, was awarded the post of governor of Jiaozhou, and Huang Baiji, the governor of Qingzhou, joined the General Administration Office of Qingzhou as the Secretary.

Pei Xiu lost a few ounces of fat, so he had no distracting thoughts and focused on his official duties. He had many political achievements and was promoted.

Of course, it is also inseparable from the friendship between Cui Che and Su Wei.

Although Su Wei resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he was still able to exert influence on the Ministry of Personnel, one of the six departments in the Shangshu Province.

Moreover, Pei Xiu's resume is not bad. He was born in the Wenxi Pei family, joined the Jin Dynasty shogunate, served as the secretary of the Bingzhou Governor's Office, joined the army, became the governor of Guangzhou, and was the Sima of the Qingzhou Governor's Office. He was promoted step by step.

However, prefecture and county magistrates cannot bring their parents and children over the age of fifteen to their posts, so Cui Zhaorong and Mrs. Feng naturally cannot continue to stay in the Jiaozhou Peninsula.

Pei Xiu is also waiting for news about Cui Che. If Brother Che confirms his whereabouts, he can send his mother and grandmother there and let Cui Che take care of them, leaving only Pei Le by his side to discipline them.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Kaihuang's reign (AD 590), Cui Che, Yang Guang and his party arrived in Daxing.

The two said goodbye for the time being. Yang Guang went to the palace to pay homage to Yang Jian first, while Cui Che went home to visit his wife and daughter without disturbing Yang Jian. Yang Guang and his son were reunited.

He deliberately did not send anyone to inform him of his itinerary beforehand, just to give his wife Yang Lihua a surprise.

When he came outside the mansion and looked at the four characters "Yan Guogongfu" on the plaque, Cui Che thought to himself:

I really want Dou Yi to see what I am like today.

He still chooses a son-in-law for Dou Yi, and only allows sons from the Duke's family to be chosen, and he feels very resentful about this.

Cui Che often laughed at Yang Jian. Yang Guang and his son were narrow-minded, but his mind was not that big.

There was a carriage parked outside the house without a sign. Although Cui Che was confused, he didn't take it to heart.

Menzi saw Cui Che and hurriedly greeted him. The steward was about to send someone to report the news to Yang Lihua, but Cui Che stopped him. He handed the reins to Menzi and hurried to the backyard happily.

After more than a month of returning home, he had not been close to women. Cui Che really missed his wife very much.

He gently opened the door and through the screen, he could vaguely see someone sleeping on the couch with the quilt folded under him.

Cui Che walked over quietly. The man's back was turned to him. He couldn't see his appearance. He could only see a nun's hat exposed.

'Could it be that she knew I was going back home and specially prepared a nun?'

Cui Che was even happier, he liked this kind of little sentiment.

He quietly sat on the bed, and without even looking carefully, he opened a corner of the quilt and got in.

Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang came to Yanguo Mansion early this morning at the invitation of Yang Lihua. They usually could not leave the monastery, but Yang Lihua made a statement, and the person in charge of the monastery had no choice but to let them go.

The three of them talked for a long time in the house. After lunch, Yang Lihua invited them to go out to choose rouge and gouache. However, after drinking a few glasses of water and wine during the meal, Chen Yueyi was very sleepy, so she rested in Yang Lihua's room and let her go.

Yuan Lexhang followed.

When Cui Che was not in Daxing, Yang Lihua would often call the two of them to Yanguo Mansion to chat with her to relieve their fatigue. Occasionally they would get excited, and the three of them would hold a candle in the room and talk at night. When they were sleepy and tired, they would rest together and fall asleep.

Chen Yueyi has slept on this bed more than once or twice.

Chen Yueyi was lying on her side on the couch to rest. When she was sleeping in a daze, someone suddenly hugged her from behind. This made her startle and wake up on the spot. A scream almost brought down the roof.
