Chapter 127 Two Women Fighting for a Husband (End)
The person who came to the door was Guangtie, a neighbor in the city. His family lived on this street. The Sun family had looked down on him in the past, and now that no one came to propose marriage, they could only agree reluctantly.
Guangtie is an ugly man with many brothers and sisters. His family is extremely poor. He is already 30 years old this year, and no one has found a marriage for him yet.
When Sun Wanyi learned that the marriage was settled, she was full of anticipation, but after finding out that it was to Guangzhou Railway, she felt bitter.
Not to mention Master Yin Feng, even Cui Nanxi, the butcher, is a thousand times better than him.
"Mom, I don't want to marry him."
Yang comforted her daughter, "When it comes to a man, you can't just look at his appearance, you have to look at his character."
Sun Wanyi let out a mournful cry. There was no way to compare their personalities. Guangtie was just a night-drinker. In this comparison, the butcher was the clear winner.
Guangtie knew his conditions, so he readily agreed to be a son-in-law, and the two of them held their wedding soon.
Nan Xi also went to the wedding on the day. Guangtie smiled like a fool, but Sun Wanyi looked like her husband had died.
Nan Xi was very satisfied. She had a sumptuous banquet and went home with a full stomach.
Liunian appeared at the Cui family. Nan Xi told others that Young Master Yin Feng had given the servant to her. Everyone envied Nan Xi's good luck for being able to make friends with a noble man like Yin Feng.
Every time Sun Wanyi saw Liu Nian, she would sigh bitterly. It was all her fault that she did not seize the opportunity and let Master Yin Feng fly away.
Time flies, and three years have passed.
During this period, Cui Nanshan often wrote letters to report his safety, and Feng Yige also sent a letter to tell him about his recent situation.
Zhang Yiqing ranked among the top three in high school this time, which was much better than his previous life's results. He was directly hired by the Hanlin Academy. He also wrote letters to Nan Xi and sent her silver notes.
Two years passed in a flash. The emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty.
A group of officials suddenly came to Qinghe County. Who else could be riding the tall horse but Cui Nanshan?
The Cui family is very prosperous today. Cui Nanshan was actually named the General of Zhenxi by the new emperor, a third-rank official, and was awarded ten thousand taels of gold and a mansion on Changping Road.
This time, Cui Nanshan came back to pick up his father and younger brother to go to Beijing.
Cui Liangchen's face turned red from laughing, and his lips never turned down. He listened to the compliments from his neighbors and felt very proud.
Sun Anfu also came to congratulate him. Cui Liangchen had already put aside the previous grudges between the two families and started drinking with everyone.
Sun Wanyi's eyes were red. How could this be possible? In his previous life, Cui Nanshan had clearly died in battle. When Cui Liangchen heard the news, he could not bear the shock and fell ill. In the end, he also died.
How come Cui Nanshan has become the general now?
Sun Wanyi looked at the handsome Cui Nanxi and vomited blood.
This is not the end. Zhang Yiqing also returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. They came back with Cui Nanshan. However, because Cui Nanshan was anxious, he went ahead when he arrived in Qinghe County, and therefore got home earlier.
Zhang Yiqing is now a favorite of the new emperor. The new emperor wants to promote new people, and Zhang Yiqing caught his eye.
Zhang Yiqing came to Cui's house and bowed to Nan Xi, "Thanks to Brother Cui's help, I am where I am today. From now on, we are brothers."
Cui Nanshan smiled and slapped Zhang Yiqing, "We are brothers, why should we be so formal?"
Nan Xi smiled and nodded, "Brother, what you said is what I wanted to say."
Zhang Yiqing then laughed. He and Cui Nanshan were in the court, one a civil official and one a military official. They helped each other and could be considered allies.
"It's so lively, how can I be missing?"
At some point, Feng Yige also came to Qinghe County. He was still alone, but this time he felt relaxed and did not seem to have any of the sorrow he had in the past.
Liu Nian passed by and bowed, "Sir!"
Feng Yige helped Liunian up, "Have you practiced the martial arts I taught you? Don't be lazy."
Liu Nian smiled foolishly, "I am very good now, even Brother Cui praised me."
After Liunian came to the Cui family, he changed his address to Nanxi "Brother Cui". Calling him "Master" was too strange and Nanxi was not used to it.
Feng Yige patted Liunian's shoulder, then came to Nan Xi and bowed.
"Thank you very much, benefactor. Now I can finally repay your kindness openly."
It turned out that the new emperor had pardoned the Feng family and had also investigated the unjust case of the year, clearing the Feng family's name.
Feng Yige bowed to Cui Nanshan again and said, "Thank you for taking care of me during these years in the northwest. Otherwise, my mother and little sister might not be safe."
Cui Nanshan waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty has inherited the throne now, so I dare not accept such a great gift from you."
The people around were already stunned. This Young Master Yin Feng was actually a prince.
Sun Wanyi spat out another mouthful of blood. She regretted it even more. If she had been able to capture this prince back then, how rich would she be now?
Even if there was no prince, Zhang Yiqing, the Prime Minister, was someone she could not reach.
Sun Wanyi looked at Cui Nanshan again, and she felt even more regretful. If she hadn't disliked Cui Nanxi in the past, she could have gone and lived in the General's Mansion now.
Basket after basket of dishes were delivered to the restaurant, and plate after plate of dishes were delivered from the restaurant.
There was a buffet on the street for three days and three nights, and the kitchens of several restaurants in the city never stopped.
Seven days later, the Cui family and the Zhang family went to Beijing together and left the county town.
Outside the Shili Pavilion, Nan Xi was saying goodbye to everyone.
"Xiao Nanzi, you come to the capital with your brother, and all the rewards your brother gets will be yours."
Cui Liangchen also looked at his youngest son with reluctance.
Whenever he urged his youngest son to get married in recent years, he would say that his master taught him martial arts and he could not get married. He always thought his son was lying to him, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Brother, I feel relieved that Dad is with you. I also want to serve Master. Our family is where we are today thanks to his kindness."
Cui Nanshan nodded quickly, "Xiao Nanzi, you are right, don't worry, Dad is with me, I will take good care of him."
Cui Liangchen had no more words to object. His eldest son had been safe all these years thanks to Nan Xi's master, so he should show some filial piety.
Liu Nian followed, "Brother Cui."
Nan Xi looked at the crying Liu Nian and patted his shoulder.
"I have already returned your indentureship to you. You are now a free person. You can marry a wife, have a baby, and live your own life.
Please help me take good care of my father, and you will be the housekeeper of our family from now on. Are you happy?"
Liu Nian burst into laughter. He had talked about these things with Brother Cui before. He thought it was just wishful thinking, but he didn't expect that Brother Cui kept them in mind.
"Brother Cui, don't worry, I will take good care of the master and the general."
Nan Xi nodded, "Then I feel relieved."
Nan Xi bowed to Zhang Yiqing and Feng Yige again, "Everyone, see you later!"
Zhang Yiqing and Feng Yige returned the greeting, "See you later!"
Nan Xi rode on his horse and watched Cui Liangchen and others leave. Only after they were far away did he go in the opposite direction.
