"Speaking of which, this matter still has something to do with the Duan family."
After drinking the ginger soup and eating all the meat in the mutton pot, Yerunan slowed down his eating as his whole body warmed up.
"Mr. Duan? I remember you said that they came here to plead guilty, and accidentally happened to catch up with the funeral of the former Liao king." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "What else did they plan to do?"
"In addition to pleading guilty and hoping that we will not hold them accountable for arranging this matter, they also have another purpose." Yerunan sighed, put a piece of radish in his mouth, chewed it, and then slowly swallowed it. Said, "Make peace."
"Marriage?" Shen Cha frowned even more tightly, "Are they planning to marry the princess of Liao Kingdom, or do they want to marry a princess?" Seeing the helplessness on Yerunan's face, she patted her forehead, "Seeing as the stupid question I asked can make our brother Afeng so angry that he will have a cold war with you, he will definitely marry a princess."
"Yes, they have this idea." Yerunan rubbed his forehead, looking like he was also troubled by the matter. "Their proposal came too suddenly, and we were not prepared at all. What's more, We have never considered marrying the Duan family. Even if we want to marry the princess, we have only Daxia as an option, and there is no..."
"Wait a minute!" Shen Cha interrupted Yerunan's words and narrowed her eyes, "If I remember correctly, the Duan family does not have any princesses, princesses, or even clan daughters who are similar in age to the princes and princes of Liao. No."
"No one of the right age?"
"Yes, as far as we know, the oldest daughter of the Duan family is only four years old this year, and the youngest... seems to have just turned one month old. How can she marry into the Liao Kingdom at such an age?"
"General, are you serious about this?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding solemnly, Yerunan put down the chopsticks in his hand, "What kind of woman does Duan want to give us?"
"This... it's hard to say." Shen Cha picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "As we all know, the Duan family has always had more men than women. The number of princes and children of the Duan family can be described as countless. They are not precious at all, but women It's different, there are very few of them. The number of young, unmarried girls from the Duan family can be counted with one slap."
"The young, unmarried girls the general refers to are those who are as young as one month old and as old as four years old?"
"That's right, so being able to marry a daughter of the Duan family is an honor for the nobles of the Duan family. The Duan kings in the past generations regarded the Duan family's daughters as treasures, and they really held them in their hands. If you drop it or hold it in your mouth, it will melt, so you won't get married easily. In recent years, there is no record of this. Duan's daughter usually recruits a son-in-law, but it is different from our so-called prince-in-law."
"Is the child born with the surname Duan?"
"That's why there are so many boys in the Duan family." Shen Cha looked at Yerunan, "But no matter how afraid they are of Liao's attack, they won't easily use their own daughter to get married, even if they have to fight a war. , wouldn’t do that. As for whether they would just send someone with no name and no status over here..." She shook her head gently, "I don’t think it is possible. After all, they are here to seek peace, not to come here. Provocative. Therefore, if we want to get married, it should be a girl from a noble family in the country."
While talking, Shen Cha felt someone sneaking up behind her. She pretended not to notice and continued chatting with Yerunan.
"Oh, it's really... full of sincerity!" Yerunan picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat his dinner, "After being in contact with each other for the past few days, I can't tell which one they said is true and which one is false. It feels like there is no truth in my mouth.”
"Whether they are true or not, you and Mr. Lan probably have no intention of getting married, right?"
"This is natural." Yerunan's tone was firm, "I already have Afeng, and there is no way I will abandon him in this life."
"Oh?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "That's what you think, but the King of Liao doesn't necessarily think so, right? Our brother Afeng didn't get into trouble with you or have a cold war with you just because the King of Liao wanted you to get married, right? ?”
"No, no!" Yerunan waved his hand, "Uncle Wang knew about our affairs and would not make such a decision. In fact, it was just Duan who had this intention. We had not formally discussed the matter, so that guy would not follow I didn't even see him when I was talking. Just now you told me that this kid was going to stay at the inn, so I thought it was an opportunity for reconciliation, so I came over quickly."
"You are now on the cusp of the storm. How many pairs of eyes are watching you in Linhuang Mansion? You came to this inn, aren't you afraid of what others will say?"
"I have already sent someone to deliver a message to the palace." Yerunan sighed, "The general doesn't understand Afeng. If he doesn't make a fuss, he won't make a fuss. Once he makes a fuss, it will shake the world."
"King Liao...knows he is angry?"
"Not only Uncle Wang, I'm afraid the entire Linhuang Mansion knows about it." Yerunan smiled lightly, "Uncle Wang means to seize the chance of reconciliation as soon as possible, so as not to really make A Feng sad."
"Well said!"
Jin Jing stood not far behind Yerunan at some point. He was dragging Qi Zhifeng, who was still very unhappy, by his hand. When he walked to Yerunan's side, he let go of Qi Zhifeng without warning. Seeing that Qi Zhifeng failed to stand still and fell directly to the side, and Yerunan caught him smartly, the military advisor smiled evilly and sat next to Shen Cha.
"You also heard what Mr. Nan said. He didn't want to get married. It's all your worries." Seeing Qi Zhifeng glaring at her, Jin Jing shook her head, "Then again, Duan's Girls, whether they are from the Duan family or from domestic aristocratic families, are not allowed to get involved!"
"Why?"
Qi Zhifeng stayed in Yerunan Tower and refused to let go. Anyway, their relationship was no longer a secret in front of these people, and there was no need to hide it. He patted Qi Zhifeng on the shoulder and told him not to fuss, but to listen carefully to the military advisor's words.
"Save your life!" Jin Jing sighed, "Those girls from the Duan family are all fierce, and they will attack if they disagree with each other. They are very barbaric. And..." He sneered, "More importantly, The biggest risk in getting married to Mr. Duan is whether he will become a cheap father."
"What are you talking about!" Shen Cha rolled her eyes at him several times after hearing what Jin Jing said was so outrageous.
"We are all friends, so we must tell the truth." Jin Jing spread her hands, "It's not like this has never happened to the Duan family."
"Speaking of this, I remembered a rumor." Qi Zhifeng finally sat down and said, "It is said that the Duan family once had a marriage with Uighur or some other country. The princess who married him had five children in the past three months. Months, and she was still six months pregnant, but in the end, the marriage did not happen, and instead she became enemies completely." He looked at Shen Cha and then at Jin Jing, with a look of disbelief on his face, "This... this rumor will not happen. Is it true?"
