On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 321
Not only Cui Che, but all the soldiers who went out this time were rewarded for their achievements in killing the enemy. The generals were appointed officials and knighted, and the soldiers were rewarded with money. The entire six prefectures and fifty towns were immersed in a festive atmosphere .

For Cui Che, Yang Jian's reward was indeed a timely gift.

Buying the women and children for the Khitan people will not make Cui Che's family uneasy, but it can be regarded as dissipating the family's floating wealth, leaving only the farm and house.

He claimed that Ah Hui and Lusu should not be disadvantaged, and the price must satisfy the Sui army officers and soldiers, so the cost must not be less.

Of course, Cui Che's generosity has also been rewarded, and the three books of Fen Wen, Da Ji, and Tu Bian all have the generosity of Lord Yan of the Great Sui Dynasty.

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

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

She thought she was ill, so she told her elder sister about it. Yang Lihua was someone who had experienced it, guessed the specific reason, and hurriedly took her to Cui Zhaorong's yard.

When Cui Zhaorong heard the symptoms, her face was already smiling, and after the pulse diagnosis confirmed that she was pregnant, her smile was even brighter:
"Princess, you are very happy!"

Yang Awu was elated when he heard the words.

Cui Zhaorong asked Yang Lihua:

"Princess, where is Che'er? You should inform him of such a big happy event."

Yang Lihua was also happy for her sister, she smiled and said:
"The Khitan people sent some youths over a few days ago. He and the Bodhisattva slave took those Khitan youths out of the city early in the morning. I will send people to find him now."

Since Cui Che is a concubine, even if Yang Awu gave birth to a son, the titles of Cui Qiji and Cui Yanqing would not be endangered, Yang Lihua naturally took it easy.

At the same time, Cui Qiji was galloping with a group of Khitan teenagers in the field, shooting rabbits and falcons.

At first, the chiefs of Fenwen, Daji, and Tubin sent their nephews and nephews to serve as personal guards by Cui Che's side.

Seeing this, the other five ministries followed suit one after another, so Cui Che had another Khitan guard beside him, with Cui Qiji as the captain of the guard.

It is self-evident that Cui Che's move is to let them strengthen their relationship with each other.

In order for his son to have a good relationship with these Khitan youths, Cui Che finally gave Cui Qiji a generous amount of money, and Cui Qiji would take these 24 Khitan youths to the wine shop every night for a drink.

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

As Cui Qiji is Cui Che's eldest son, the Khitan youths are naturally willing to have a close relationship with him.

But what they admired more was Cui Che.

Grassland tribes always admire the strong. During the previous Eight Tribes Conference, Cui Che had a small test of his skills and let everyone see his riding and shooting.

It is not difficult to hit five shots five times, but his brilliant record in the past is enough to make people awe-inspiring.

Cui Che has the prestige of today, and behind him are the bones of the Turkic overlords of the grasslands.

When the servants at home came to find him, Cui Che had already personally left and participated in the hunting.

Hearing that Princess Lanling was pregnant, Cui Che couldn't stay any longer, leaving only Cui Qiji and a group of Khitan teenagers having fun in the snow, while he hurried back to Jicheng.

When they came to Yang Awu's courtyard, the bedroom was full of people. They all heard the news and came to congratulate him, including Cui Che's concubine, and Cui Qiji's wife, Princess Nanyang.

Cui Che himself had two wives and four concubines, and he also raised two concubines outside the mansion, but Cui Qiji was not allowed to take concubines. What's the rush for a boy who is only 16 years old, now he is feasting with Khitan teenagers all day long, and he is addicted to women? It's not that you have to empty your body at a young age.

He completely forgot how lewd his life was at Cui Qiji's age.

Seeing Cui Che's return, everyone bid farewell and left with winks, leaving Cui Che and Yang Awu alone.

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

Cui Che held Yang Ah-wu's hand and said in a warm voice.

Yang Ah Wu smiled and shook his head:

"My husband has always had great ambitions. He should put his official duties first. How can he only care about his children's love?"

Now that Yang Ah Wu is just pregnant and her first child, she needs to be taken care of more carefully. It is impossible to go back to Daxing with Yang Lihua.

So he stayed in Ji County to raise a baby.

On November 19th, the 27th year of Emperor Kaihuang, Yang Lihua took three brothers Cui Qiji, Cui Yanzong, and Cui Yanqing, his daughter-in-law Princess Nanyang, and Cui Che's four daughters, Cui Wenhui, Cui Wenyan, Cui Wenxiu, and Cui Wenjuan, to Daxing. The couple congratulated the New Year and wanted to tell them the good news of Yang Ah Wu's pregnancy.

Among the four sisters of the Cui family, Cui Wenhui, the oldest, is ten years old, and Cui Wenjuan, the youngest, is almost nine years old.

According to the current customs, Cui Che's four daughters are actually at the age of marriage. These days, especially among the rich and powerful, early marriage is very common.

For example, Yang Ah Wu was engaged to Wang Fengxiao at the age of eight, but Wang Fengxiao died short-lived, and died in the second year, making Yang Ah Wu watch over the family.

Cui Che also always pays attention to the young talents around him, and plans to find a good husband for his daughters who is worth entrusting for life.

Free love is not popular these days, what is emphasized is the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.

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

He was 16 years old at the time, although he was ordinary in appearance, he was deeply loved by Cui Che because of his loyalty, filial piety and determination.

His father, Mai Tiezhang, is also Cui Che's favorite general, loves Wu and Wu, and the marriage of the two families is also a matter of course.

In the letter, Cui Che had clearly told Mai Tiezhang that he should not be in a hurry to arrange a marriage for Mai Mengcai, and that there would be a happy relationship in the future.

This made Mai Tiezhang ecstatic. He came from a poor and humble background, and it was Cui Che's appreciation that made him the status he is today. If his son can marry Cui Che's daughter, even if it is only a concubine, it is also a noble daughter from the Cui family in Boling. How glorious.

In the same way, Cui Che had also communicated with Liu Fang, and now Liu Fang's son, Liu Tongren, was waiting for the Cui family's daughter to be a few years older before sending someone to be a matchmaker.

As for which daughter is getting married, Cui Che will still have to find an opportunity for the daughter to meet each other in person in the future. 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 Kaihuang passed away in celebration of New Year's Eve, and the new year is coming as scheduled.

In the 20th year of Kaihuang (AD 600), on the 23rd of the first lunar month, Cui Qiji and Princess Nanyang went to Daxing Palace and Donggong to bid farewell to Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his father, and then set off 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 small farewell is better than a new love. After three months of separation between Yang Lihua and Cui Che, the husband and wife reunited, naturally they are like glue.
