Chapter 85 The fortune teller accepts bribes

Cui Che returned to the banquet, still feeling uneasy. He was worried that the woman would complain to Dugu Jialuo and disrupt his marriage, but he couldn't help but recall the softness when he held her hand.

"My good nephew seems to have no intention of singing or dancing, but is he worried about something?"

Cui Che raised his head and met Yang Su's concerned gaze.

Yang Su was nearly forty years old, with thin eyebrows, bright eyes, a beautiful beard, and a dignified appearance.

Cui Che and Yang Su naturally knew each other. Yesterday, they even made a special trip to the Yang Mansion to visit and send a family letter to Yang Xuangan.

He quickly stood up and saluted:

"My nephew is paying homage to his uncle. He hasn't seen him before and thought he wouldn't come tonight."

"The prince is hosting a banquet. There is no reason for me to be absent. I just have some trivial matters at home and I'm just late. I just saw my nephew in a daze. Is there something on his mind? You might as well go out for a walk with me. There is a pavilion in the garden where the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom.

, you can enjoy the scenery and the moon.”

Yang Suyi pointed out something, and Cui Che was greatly embarrassed for a moment. He couldn't help scratching his head and said:

"Uncle has seen it."

It turned out that Cui Che was entangled with Yang Lihua under the laurel tree. Yang Su, who arrived late, accidentally looked over. Cui Che didn't recognize Yang Lihua, but how could Yang Su not recognize the former empress dowager and the emperor's direct descendant?

Eldest daughter.

I saw him stroking his beard and smiling:

"Knowing that I am young, I was once young."

"Uncle misunderstood, nephew. Alas!"

Cui Che sighed and didn't know how to explain it.

Now I regret even more why I took that woman's hand so rashly.

Yang Su didn't take it seriously and asked:

"My dear nephew, does he know the name of that lady?"

"I didn't reveal it. I just said that I would know when we meet again in the future. Does it mean that uncle knows her identity?"

Cui Che was about to hear the news from Yang Su so that he could come to apologize tomorrow, but he heard Yang Su shake his head and say:

"Since the lady is unwilling to tell, I cannot reveal her identity. As she said, my nephew will know about it in the future."

In the future?

Cui Che felt a sense of loss in his heart. He wished he could immediately go to the woman to apologize. From Yang Su's attitude, he could tell that her status was extremely valuable, but he had slighted her. Whenever he thought of the scene of her crying to Dugu Jialuo,

Brother Che felt a chill running down his spine.

After Yang Su left, Cui Che had no appetite at all when looking at a table full of fine wine and delicacies.

Cui Che's worries soon became reality. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, on August 16th, Brother Che was summoned to the palace city.

In the Linguang Palace, Cui Che allowed a fortune teller named Huang to examine his face carefully and tell his birth date. After divination, the fortune teller Huang came to the conclusion that Brother Che and Princess Lanling were not a good match.

Cui Che knew that Yang Jian liked to seek fortune-telling from fortune tellers when choosing a wife for his son and a son-in-law for his daughter. For example, Princess Xiao of Jin Dynasty was betrothed to Yang Guang after the fortune teller obtained auspicious fortune-telling.

In history, when Princess Yang Awu of Lanling was 18 years old, Yang Jian chose two candidates for her, Xiao Yang, the Princess of Jin, and Liu Shu, the Liu family of Hedong. Finally, Wei Ding, who was proficient in yin and yang, pointed out the candidate.

Liu Shu.

But Brother Che never expected that these fortune tellers would actually become a roadblock in his marriage.

Huh! One day I have the power in my hands and I can easily rectify this group of people. You would rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage. How could you do such an immoral thing?

"Don't worry, Cui Qing. Since I promised you a good marriage, I will definitely choose another good match for you."

Yang Jian on the throne spoke, and Cui Che had no choice but to kneel down and thank him.

In fact, he really wanted to tell Yang Jian that it didn't matter if he couldn't marry Yang Awu. Don't mess around with the mandarin ducks, otherwise he would turn around and continue to wait for Yuwen Eying to grow up and become his daughter's son-in-law.

But after thinking carefully about Yang Jian's mental endurance, he still kept his mouth shut.

Brother Che left Linguang Hall dejectedly, but did not go far, but was waiting for the fortune teller to come out.

Huang Xiangshi received the reward from Yang Jian and was about to leave the palace briskly when he was stopped by Cui Che on the way. He originally thought that Cui Che was seeking revenge because he had disturbed his marriage.

Unexpectedly, Brother Che skillfully untied a money bag, forced himself to show a Hexi smile, and stuffed the money bag into Huang Xiangshi's hand.

"I would like to ask Mr. Huang to show your kindness next time. Che will be grateful."

Cui Che felt aggrieved to be cheated and had to give money to please him, but he had no choice but to blame Yang Jian for being addicted to feudal superstition. He also blamed himself for not establishing a good relationship with these fortune tellers in advance.

But who would have thought that Yang Jian, who just a few days ago had asked him to stay for two years, would be so anxious to find someone to meet him that he didn't even have time to use money to clear the way.

Huang Xiangshi weighed the money bag and felt its weight. He immediately smiled. The two people who were at war with each other in Linguang Palace had already left the palace together as brothers. Before parting, Huang Xiangshi also promised to introduce more colleagues to Brother Che in the future.

I know you.

Cui Che waited for Huang Xiangshi to turn his back. He no longer smiled. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. The money Huang Xiangshi took from him today will be repaid thousands of times in the future. His generation will not be able to pay it back.

After that, there will be endless descendants.

However, Brother Che didn't know that the person who really disrupted his marriage with Yang Awu was Yang Su Miansheng this morning.

Yang Su ignored Cui Che's frivolousness and implicitly mentioned that Yang Lihua might have a secret crush on Cui Che.

Yang Jian was shocked when he heard this and quickly ordered his confidants to investigate. As expected, he found out that his eldest daughter often asked Yang Guang for poems by Cui Che.

In the past two years, Yang Jian has been trying many ways to ease the relationship with his daughter. Yang Yong, Yang Guang and others have also put a lot of thought into this, but Yang Lihua is unwilling to forgive him.

It's good now that he actually wants to choose the eldest daughter's favorite as Ah Wu's consort. Isn't this a new grudge that has not been resolved? Isn't it that he will resent Ah Wu and Cui Che every time he sees them as a pair in the future?

I am a father.

It can only be said that those who are favored are confident. Yang Lihua, the eldest daughter, has a special status in Yang Jian's heart that cannot be compared with other children, not even the prince Yang Yong.

In his later years, after Dugu Jialuo's death, Yang Jian could only listen to Yang Lihua's comfort and explanations.

Therefore, although Yang Awu was also favored, Yang Jian still chose his eldest daughter.

The most indispensable thing in this world is young talents. At most, we will choose another husband for Ah Wu in two years.

So Huang Xiangshi was informed in advance and staged a divination play in Linguang Hall.

Soon, Yang Awu also learned the results of the divination from his mother. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was relieved.

It is true that she has a good impression of Cui Che. He is capable of both literary and martial arts, and his heroic appearance on the horse that day often comes to mind. But in the end, she only met him once and was attracted by his appearance and talent.

At the point of getting married.

I just don't know if I can feel calm after learning about my father's decision.

On August 17, the day before Cui Che was scheduled to leave Chang'an, Dugu Jialuo came to the palace to visit his eldest daughter.
