On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 321 Khitan Guards

Not only Cui Che, but also the soldiers who went on this expedition were heavily rewarded for their meritorious service in killing the enemy. The generals were awarded officers and knights, and the soldiers were rewarded with money and cloth. The entire six states and fifty towns were immersed in a festive atmosphere.

.

Yang Jian's reward was indeed a timely blessing for Cui Che.

Purchasing the women and children for the Khitan people will not bring trouble to Cui Che's family, but it can be considered as dispersing all the family's wealth, leaving only the farm and house.

He claimed that Ah Hui Lusu could not suffer a loss, and the price had to satisfy the Sui army officers, so the expenditure could not be less.

Of course, Cui Che's generosity also reaped rewards. Fenwen, Daji, and Tubian all spread the message of the generosity of Duke Yan of the Sui Dynasty.

As for the crimes committed by the Sui army in their tribe, Cui Che acted on Yang Jian's orders.

On November 24, the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, Yang Awu was preparing to return to Daxing with Yang Lihua to wish Yang Jian and his wife a new year, but suddenly he lost his appetite and often felt nauseous and vomiting.

She thought she was ill, so she told her sister about it. Yang Lihua was a visitor and guessed the specific reason, so she quickly took her to Cui Zhaorong's yard.

Cui Zhaorong already had a smile on her face after hearing the symptoms. After checking her pulse and confirming that she was pregnant, her smile became even brighter:

"Princess, you are so happy!"

When Yang Awu heard this, he was very happy.

Cui Zhaorong asked Yang Lihua:

"Princess, where has Che'er gone? It's such a big happy event that we need to inform him as soon as possible."

Yang Lihua was also happy for her sister, she smiled and said:

"The Khitan people sent some young people over a few days ago. He and the Bodhisattva slave took those Khitan young people out of the city early in the morning. I will send people to look for him now."

Since Cui Che is a married woman, even if Yang Awu gives birth to a son, it will not endanger the titles of Cui Qiji and Cui Yanqing, so Yang Lihua can naturally take it for granted.

At the same time, Cui Qiji and a group of Khitan boys were galloping in the wilderness, shooting rabbits and falcons.

At first, the chiefs of Fenwen, Daji, and Tuben sent their close nephews to Cui Che to act as personal guards.

Upon seeing this, the other five tribes followed suit, so Cui Che was surrounded by another Khitan guard, with Cui Qiji as the guard captain.

The purpose of Cui Che's move is self-evident, which is to let them enhance their feelings for each other.

In order for his son to have a good relationship with these Khitan youths, Cui Che finally showed his generosity to Cui Qiji and gave him enough coins. Cui Qiji would take these twenty-four Khitan youths with him to a wine shop every night.

The effect was immediate. They were going in both directions. When these young men left the tribe, the elders repeatedly told them to serve Cui Che well.

As Cui Qiji is Cui Che's eldest son, the Khitan boys are naturally willing to get close to him.

But what they admired more was Cui Che.

The grassland tribes already admired the strong. During the previous Eight Tribes Conference, Cui Che had tried his hand at a small test, allowing everyone to see his riding and archery skills.

It is not difficult to hit five out of five shots, but his outstanding record in the past is enough to make people awe.

Cui Che is famous today, but behind him are the bones of the Turks, the overlords of the grasslands.

When the servants at home came to look for him, Cui Che had already left personally to participate in this safari.

Hearing that Princess Lanling was pregnant, Cui Che could not stay any longer. Cui Qiji was left alone to have fun in the snow with a group of Khitan teenagers, while he hurried back to Jicheng.

When they arrived at Yang Awu's courtyard, the bedroom was crowded with people who had heard the news and came to congratulate him. There were Cui Che's side chamber and Cui Qiji's wife, Princess Nanyang.

Cui Che himself had two wives and four concubines, and also raised two concubines outside the house, but Cui Qiji was not allowed to take concubines. What's the hurry for a boy who is only sixteen years old? Now he is feasting with Khitan boys all day long and indulges in female sex.

Wouldn’t it be necessary to empty out the body at such a young age?

He completely forgot how debauched his life was when he was Cui Qiji's age.

When everyone saw Cui Che coming back, they all said goodbye and left with a wink, leaving Cui Che and Yang Awu alone.

"These days, I am busy with official duties and have neglected you."

Cui Che held Yang Awu's hand and said warmly.

Yang Awu smiled and shook his head:

"My husband has great ambitions. He should put official duties first, how can he only care about the love of his children?"

Now that Yang Awu has just become pregnant, it is her first child, and she needs more careful care. It is impossible for her to go back to Daxing with Yang Lihua.

So he stayed in Jixian to raise his baby.

On November 27, the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, Yang Lihua took three brothers Cui Qiji, Cui Yanzong, and Cui Yanqing, their daughter-in-law Princess Nanyang, and Cui Che's four daughters, Cui Wenhui, Cui Wenyan, Cui Wenxiu, and Cui Wenjuan to Daxing.

Not only did I wish New Year's greetings to Yang Jian and his wife, but I also wanted to inform them of the good news of Yang Awu's pregnancy.

Among the four Cui sisters, the eldest Cui Wenhui is ten years old, and the youngest Cui Wenjuan is about to turn nine.

According to today's customs, Cui Che's four daughters have actually reached the age of marriage. These days, especially among the rich and powerful, early marriage is quite common.

For example, Yang Awu was engaged to Wang Fengxiao when he was eight years old, but Wang Fengxiao was short-lived and died the next year, leaving Yang Awu as a widower.

Cui Che also always pays attention to the young talents around him and plans to find a husband for his daughters who can be trusted for life.

Free love is not popular these days. What matters is the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.

Mai Mengcai was the first to catch Cui Che's eyes.

He was sixteen years old at the time. Although he had an ordinary appearance, he was deeply loved by Cui Che because of his loyalty, filial piety and strong character.

His father, Mai Tiezhang, was also Cui Che's favorite general, Ai Wu and Wu, so the marriage between the two families was a natural thing.

In his letter, Cui Che had clearly told Mai Tiezhang not to rush into a marriage agreement with Mai Mengcai, but to have a good relationship in the future.

This made Mai Tiezhang ecstatic. He was born in a poor family, and it was because of Cui Che's appreciation that he achieved his current status. His son could marry Cui Che's daughter, even if she was just a concubine, she was a noble daughter from the Boling Cui family.

How glorious.

In the same way, Cui Che has also communicated with Liu Fang. Now Liu Fang's son Liu Tongren is also waiting for the Cui family's daughter to be a few years older before sending someone to mediate.

As for which daughter will get married, Cui Che will still have to find an opportunity in the future for his daughter to meet each other in person. If he is really dissatisfied and refuses to get married, Cui Che will not be able to force them into a sedan chair.

Time flies by, the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor has passed in the celebration of New Year's Eve, and the new year has arrived as scheduled.

In the 20th year of the founding of the Emperor (AD 600), on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Cui Qiji and Princess Nanyang went to Daxing Palace, the East Palace to pay farewell to Yang Jian, and Yang Guang and his son after staying in Daxing for more than a month.

On the fourth day of March, the whole family finally returned to Youzhou.

As the saying goes, a little separation is better than a new love. Yang Lihua and Cui Che had been separated for three months, and when the couple reunited, they were naturally inseparable.
