"A man from the grassland doesn't talk in circles. Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, the patriarch, Narisong has something to ask of you."
"A girl from Changping Village and I fell in love at first sight, and we fell in love with each other. We swore to the Immortal Heaven that we would stay together for three lives."
"I want to take her back to Daliao and make her my woman, and I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Patriarch to make it happen!"
After he breathed a sigh of relief that day, he clenched his right hand tightly against his heart on the left side and knelt down on one knee.
As if Tuoba Xian and Yang Ruoqing refused to let go, he would kneel on the ground and not get up.
Although the three people in the room were mentally prepared, they were still secretly shocked when they heard these words coming from Narisong's mouth.
Tuoba Xian asked: "Whose girl is that?"
That day Risong raised his head and glanced at Yang Ruoqing again, his eyes a little evasive and said: "The patriarch's cousin, Yang's maiden name is Ruolan."
Tuoba Xian smiled faintly, picked up the tea bowl at hand, and took a sip.
Then he said to Narisong: "Although I am the eldest princess, I have the final say on your marriage."
"But if you take concubines, I can't interfere too much."
"Don't ask me for this matter, just discuss it with your clan leader."
According to the prior agreement, Tuoba Xian kicked the ball to Yang Ruoqing.
That day Risong raised his head and looked at Yang Ruoqing, and then begged again: "Please do it, Mr. Patriarch!"
Yang Ruoqing frowned, "Narisong, it's not that I can't help you, it's just that I know my cousin's character better than you do."
"She is not a good match, let alone a good wife."
"I won't stop you from taking her as your concubine, and I won't even encourage you."
"I'm just telling you what I and the people in the village think and feel about her. You make your own decision in the end. If you do, don't regret it!"
Yang Ruoqing said.
Then, she picked out a few representative things about Yang Ruolan's life in the village in the past few years.
Among them, including her indifferent attitude towards her own mother Yang...
Everyone in the room frowned.
That Risong's previous excitement and excitement seemed to have cooled down a bit.
However, there are still contradictions and tangles.
"Okay, I've said everything that should be said. I've also said some things that shouldn't be said."
Yang Ruoqing said finally.
"You are an adult. You should go back and think about what to do next. Once you have figured it out, you can tell me during dinner," she said.
"Yes, my subordinates, please step back first!"
After Risong left the house that day, Luo Fengtang looked at his retreating back with worry on his face.
"I have a bad feeling that in the end, he will still take Yang Ruolan as his concubine," he said.
Tuoba Xian smiled faintly: "That day, Risong was in Daliao, and his wife was the daughter of another clan leader, with a strong background."
"The other seventeen concubines are all daughters of powerful families from various ethnic groups in Daliao."
"As a man, the people he sleeps with are all powerful people. It's rare for him to go to the south and meet the woman he likes."
"It has nothing to do with power, it's all based on the impulse of the moment."
"He is like a wild horse at the moment. If the three of us can't hold him back, let's just follow him!" Tuoba Xian said.
Luo Fengtang secretly shook his head after hearing this.
As a man, he couldn't understand Risong's mentality.
The women around me are all things that I did not get because of my liking, they are all traded goods.
What's the point?
Sleeping is no fun either!
But here, Yang Ruoqing understood Tuoba Xian's words very well.
In the eyes of those in power, a concubine like Yang Ruolan would not be able to make any big waves even if she had some scheming intentions.
It was nothing more than taking advantage of his youth to confuse Narisong with his appearance.
To take a concubine and follow her to Daliao is nothing more than to throw her into the backyard and become an object for her to release her sexual desires.
No matter what kind of intentions or methods, when you meet a bunch of powerful and scheming women in a big courtyard like that, you won't be able to stir up any trouble.
"Mom is right, let's say what we need to say, and let him do the rest."
Yang Ruoqing finally said, "Things like concubinage are other people's private matters and we won't interfere."
Preventing Yang Ruolan from going to Daliao with Narisong might save Yang Ruolan.
Now, Yang Ruoqing is no longer planning to save Yang Ruolan. If her cousin wants to die, please do so.
The three people's guess was good. Sure enough, after dinner, Risong came over again that day.
"I've thought about it, I'm still willing to take Yang Ruolan as my concubine." That Risong said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "If you think about it, I won't say anything more."
Risong nodded gratefully and then looked at Tuoba Xian.
Tuoba Xian said calmly: "Since your clan leader has no objection, I naturally won't say anything more."
"You will be leaving for Daliao in the next two days. If you want to take the Yang family daughter as your concubine and take her back to Daliao, you must not skip many aspects of etiquette." She reminded.
When Risong heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.
"When you do as the Romans do, I will definitely follow the concubinage etiquette in this area."
Then, Risong excitedly pushed it down and prepared to go.
Yang Ruoqing left the opportunity to be alone to Luo Fengtang and Tuoba Xian, and returned to her parents' compound.
Da'an and Xiaoan had already finished dinner and returned to the house. In the main room, Yang Huazhong and Sun were sitting facing each other, eating dinner.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing come in, Mrs. Sun stood up hurriedly.
"Qing'er, have you eaten?"
"Have eaten." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Sun said: "What did you eat at night? Did you cook it?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It's boiled noodles, scrambled eggs and sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice dumplings at night."
Hearing this, Mrs. Sun pointed to the dishes on the table behind her: "There is spicy fried bacon, do you want to eat some more?"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "I can't eat anymore, so come over and sit down and talk to my parents."
Then he sat down at the table, grabbed the teapot and poured himself a bowl of tea.
"Mom, sit down and continue eating," she said.
Sun sat down again.
"Have your mother-in-law and the others decided on a date to return to Daliao?" asked Sun.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The specific date has not been determined, but it is only these two days. I am already packing my things."
Mrs. Sun nodded: "There are still some agricultural and sideline products at home. I will pack them up tonight and deliver them to your mother-in-law tomorrow."
Yang Ruoqing said "hmm".
His eyes fell on Yang Huazhong: "Dad, have you gone to the old house to talk about the four taels of silver from your third cousin?"
When asked about this, Yang Huazhong raised his head and said, "I went there in the morning. Your fourth and fifth uncles and I found your father and told him about it."
"Then what did my father say?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Yang Huazhong said: "Your father did not agree with giving half of the money to your aunt at first."
"In his own words, your aunt is stupid, your second brother and the others can just give you some food and drink, no need to spend money."
