Liao Wang Palace Bedroom
After receiving the news from Yelu Nan, Yelvertu and Yelulan, who were sitting opposite each other by the window and admiring the snow, heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
Since the two started their cold war, they have been on tenterhooks. Now that the two can sit down and talk, they can rest assured.
"Let the person tell Anan that he must be coaxed tonight." Yelulan waved away the officials and looked at Yeluertu, who was sitting opposite and obviously relieved, "Father has been worried these days, but because of the two of them, People’s quarrels?”
"If we can really quarrel, it won't be a big deal, but Ah Feng avoids Anan and can't quarrel even if he wants to." Yelvertu rubbed his forehead. The feelings between his children also gave him a headache. "If Anan doesn't take any action, your uncle Qi is afraid that he will come to the door with a knife." He looked at his son, "It's not easy to owe a favor to General Zhen Guo. Since you owe it, you have to think about how to repay it. "
"The son thought that his father would say that it's okay to have more debts. After all, the debts you will owe will be more and more in the future." He picked up the hot chopsticks and flicked the charcoal in the charcoal basin. Yelulan's tone sounded very indifferent. "The general of the country is a heroic heroine. He does things more openly than a man. I don't think he will seize on this small favor and force us to do anything. Father doesn't have to take it to heart."
"That's true." Yelvertu nodded in agreement, "We shouldn't be free tomorrow. Anyway, they will stay in Linhuang Mansion for a while. If you are free, go and meet them. Our cooperation with them in the future , it is not convenient for me to come forward, so you and Anan must represent you."
"Yes, my son also wants to appreciate the elegance of this female general." Yelulan smiled, "Speaking of which, Duan's father has rejected the request over and over again. So, are you not going to agree to their request, or are you not? Are you willing to forgive their actions?"
"You were also present during our first meeting. What do you think?" Yelvertu did not answer, but asked his son a new question. "If you were in the position of being a father, would you make the same choice as your father?"
"Yes!" Yelulan nodded firmly, "But the reason is not necessarily the same as that of my father."
"Oh?" Yelvertu stared at his son with great interest and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tell me the reason why you rejected them."
"It's disgusting to be arrogant in front and respectful in the back." Yelulan said contemptuously, "Since you have the guts to do such a thing, then you should always be stubborn and make people look down on you. Now that the incident has been revealed, you have to be so humble. It's really shameful. In addition, I don’t know what King Duan thought about sending such an envoy. No matter what official position he held, he always had a flattering expression. There was no trace of the demeanor that an envoy should have. Duan’s face was so ugly. He was completely thrown away. My father didn’t know something, and the various actions of Duan’s envoys have now become a laughing stock in the city.”
"This probably has nothing to do with the envoy. It should be the instruction of King Duan. If there is no clear instruction, if you give the envoy eight courages, he will not do such a disgraceful behavior." Seeing his son's confused eyes, Yelu Ertu picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, "It's hard to understand?" Seeing Yelulan nodding, he smiled and said, "Because of the mistake. If it weren't for the mistake, why did the three envoys from the Kingdom of Jin go to see them after they arrived? ? Just wait and see, when the snow stops tomorrow, apart from our own people, they will definitely be the first visitors to the inn door. "
"So that's it." Yelulan suddenly realized, "First he sent someone to assassinate Anan, but failed to succeed. He was caught by Shen Jiajun, which offended both Xia and Liao countries. In addition, he later searched out Anan from all countries. Their informants, they made too many enemies, and they panicked all of a sudden. So, they thought of a trick to smile when they see someone with them. From this look, Prince Duan is too timid. If he conducts a serious search, he will come to the Huang Mansion. A lot of detailed work can be found, right? It’s not something worth making a fuss about.”
"You think too simplistically. Not only are you careful, but the most important thing is that they are afraid that we and Xia will pursue the assassination and frame the blame. If we insist on holding on and insisting on an explanation from them, it will not be a faction. It's as simple as an envoy coming to plead guilty and ask for a marriage. Besides, if Xia and we don't let them go, those headed by Jin will probably not let go either." Yelvertu waved his hand and poured himself a drink, " Another point, you are also wrong. King Duan is not cowardly, but he knows that his strength is inferior to others. He is worried that we will use this as an excuse to collude with Xia and jointly send troops to destroy them. If the country is destroyed because of this, he will be shameless. Went to see our ancestors. So, I sent envoys in a hurry, but unexpectedly, they bumped into the funeral of the late king."
"During the national mourning period, all weddings and funerals are stopped, and the children of the clan are prohibited from entering or leaving any playgrounds. When Duan proposes a marriage at this time, isn't he sincerely asking for peace?" The sneer on Yelulan's face deepened, "Is it possible that they are in national mourning? Are there any taboos during this period?”
"They are different from us, but they really don't have many taboos." Yelvertu sighed, "They didn't take this into consideration, which is bad luck."
"Then the father will definitely not agree to the marriage?"
"Of course I won't agree. The Duan family's folk customs are too open, and the women's strength is unimaginable. Even if they are getting married or marrying just for show, they will not choose Duan's daughter. If such a woman comes into the family, she will not be chosen. It’s a curse rather than a blessing.”
"Tough?" Yelulan disagreed, "Can we women from Liao be as tough? Or are they like the generals who killed several people with one whip?"
"Hey, where were you thinking? It's not this tough!"
Yelvertu waved his hand, and seeing his son's calm expression, he suddenly felt that he was a particularly unfit father. Counting on his fingers, his son has grown up and is old enough to understand people. Thinking back to when I was at A-Lan's age, there were three or two girls waiting on me in the house. Thinking about the nephews and nephews in the clan, there are basically none who can be as clean and self-sufficient as my own son.
After this calculation, Yelvertu felt guilty and felt particularly sorry for his son, so he decided to make amends from now on.
"Father?" Yelulan waited for a long time, but did not hear Yelvertu continue to speak. Seeing the expression on the other party's face, he felt even more strange. "What is father thinking?"
"It's nothing." Yelvertu smiled, "You have stayed in Linhuang Mansion all year round and have never heard the rumors about the Duan family. It is understandable. As for the Duan family, there have always been more men than women, so for women, Special...tolerance."
"Tolerance?" Yelulan sneered, "It's not just tolerance, right? You are arrogant due to favor. If you do such a thing, you are not ashamed, but proud."
"Absolutely." Yelvertu nodded, "If Duan's daughter or other noble girls in the country fall in love with a young master, no matter he is from a high family or a poor family, they will try their best to get him home, completely regardless of their own Whether the reputation is good or bad. Not to mention, there are people who take children with unknown biological fathers to other countries to get married." Seeing his son's stunned look, he shook his head, picked up the teapot next to him, and refilled his son's cup of tea. , "Have you never heard of it? This is new to us, but it is normal for others."
"In this case, please ask father to refuse the marriage." Yerunan held up the tea bowl with both hands and took a sip. "No matter how unworthy the family members are, they will never marry such a woman."
"What about you?" Yelvertu looked at Yelulan seriously. "You have reached the age. It is time to marry a wife. Have you considered the candidate for your wife? Do you have a candidate in mind?" Seeing his son calm He frowned slightly, "You're not like Anan, who likes men, right?"
"Father, don't worry, my son is not." Yelulan shook his head, "Even Anan, he doesn't like men, but it just happens that Afeng's brother is a boy. As for the choice of wife... What does father think of marrying Daxia?"
This was the first time Yelvertu heard his son talk about his marriage seriously. Although he had vaguely guessed it before, he was still a little surprised when he actually heard it with his own ears.
"I thought of getting together with my father." Yelvertu looked at the snow outside the window and closed the window a little, "However, Emperor Xia has not yet gotten married, and none of his brothers and sisters are suitable for you. Although that elder The princess is of the right age, but she is not of Song family blood after all. In fact, according to my wishes, rather than marrying a member of the Song family clan, General Zhenguo would be a good candidate, what do you think?"
"General Zhenguo is definitely not good." Yelulan shook his head firmly, "Such a powerful general, if his father was Emperor Xia, would he let go? It's absolutely impossible. If we made such a request , let alone the marriage, everyone in the Xia Kingdom will think that we are provoking, and there will be another war at the border. Father, please don’t mention this matter again."
"I'm just saying casually, don't take it seriously. If I really wanted to marry you as a general, my father wouldn't wait until now." Yelvertu smiled, "But have you really thought about it?"
"Yeah!" Yelulan nodded, "I don't care whether the person Xia Emperor marries is a princess, a princess, or a daughter of the Song family, as long as her surname is Song. Father, we have no right to be picky. If we can follow With the Daxia marriage, fewer people will switch to the Xiao family, which is good for us."
"Hey!" Yelvertu sighed heavily, "It's hard for you to think about this at such a young age."
"Father was joking. He just said that his son has reached the age of marriage. And since he is his father's son, he must share his worries for his father." Seeing that the wine cup was empty, Yelulan picked up the wine pot and poured it. Some said, "Father has rejected Duan's envoys several times. They will definitely not be willing to accept it. There won't be any trouble at the palace banquet tomorrow night, right?"
"They will make trouble if they dare." Yelvertu picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. "The bigger the trouble, the more interesting it is. Anyway, it's not us who are embarrassed."
