In fact, when Lao Cui said this, he was not very confident.
Everyone in the world thought that once Zhao Changhe was on the list, this marriage would be a natural thing, even Cui Yuanyang himself thought so. Only the two parties involved in the conversation in the garden pavilion knew that this was not entirely the case.
It was Cui Wenjing who used tricks and rhetoric to get Zhao Changhe to make the three-year agreement. If he hadn't used this trick, Zhao Changhe would have refused.
Yes, Zhao Changhe did go to refuse, and it was not the story that outsiders understood, where Zhao Changhe went to propose marriage but was harassed.
As a result, the old fox kept beating around the bush and made a three-year agreement. Originally, it was for Yangyang's reputation, but also because the old fox thought that this guy might be the prince, so leaving a way out would be a win-win situation.
The calculations were too loud. Although Zhao Changhe was young at the time, he was not completely unaware. At that time, Zhao Changhe said: After three years, why can't I not fulfill my contract and let this end without any disease
Anyway, I can explain it to the world - why do you insist on getting married when you are being bullied? I have stepped on the human list and made you regret it. It is normal.
After all, it is really embarrassing. Being talked about by the world for so long and being regarded as the "most down-to-earth hidden dragon" seems to be friendly, but it is actually very embarrassing. It's not like I'm going to marry your daughter, why should I be laughed at...
Therefore, this seemingly natural engagement can also end in failure and is not that stable.
If Zhao Changhe is like an ordinary person, wanting to fight for secular power and become an emperor, then Old Cui can relax. Qinghe Cui's full-strength bet, who wouldn't be jealous? The Tang family can't compete with this, and there will be no changes to the engagement.
But the problem is that Zhao Changhe doesn't ask for those things. Even Cui Yuanyang can see that her greatest advantage is almost meaningless here, and Old Cui can see it even more clearly.
Fortunately, Zhao Changhe values friendship and will not abandon Yangyang easily... Otherwise, Cui Wenjing really wanted to go back to more than a year ago like Tang Wanzhuang and slap himself in the face for thinking he had calculated everything in the garden pavilion: "I told you not to calculate!"
All in all, he is not so confident now, and he actually has to rely on Zhao Changhe's loyalty... Cui Wenjing really doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Give up. To be honest, Lao Cui is reluctant to do so.
If a qualified family head lets such a talented martial arts talent, such a center of power, slip away, he would be really slapped in the face.
Then you can only lose some face and shamelessly settle the matter quickly.
Well, the human list is also a list, and this is also called catching a son-in-law under the list. It is a tradition and not considered embarrassing.
Anyway, I have made it clear at the beginning that I don't mind you having three wives and four concubines. If you want to be the emperor, it is even more impossible for you to have only one. Anyway, it's fine as long as the queen is from my family.
Zhao Changhe knew exactly what Lao Cui was thinking. He sat at the head of the bed with his hands caged and looked at him. Cui Wenjing was also leaning on a door bolt and staring at him.
The two stared at each other for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Changhe did not take the initiative to reply, Cui Wenjing finally sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so upset today. My Cui family didn't help you much. You asked for a wife, which is essentially taking advantage of your relationship... Let's put it this way, if you have any requests, you can ask for them."
Zhao Changhe shook his head: "I didn't ask for it."
Cui Wenjing was stunned for a moment, then Zhao Changhe continued, "Maybe we, the people from Zhaocuo, have different ideas from the world, especially the ideas of the noble families... I have never been used to bargaining over such things as if they were doing business, but you seem to be used to it."
Cui Wenjing said: "Essentially, this is business. The marriage of the legitimate son and daughter of aristocratic families must have important meanings. It just so happens that Yuanyang and you have feelings for each other, so everyone is happy. Even if not, what needs to be discussed should still be discussed."
Zhao Changhe sighed: "I understand, but I don't like this."
"It doesn't matter. You just need to decide whether to marry her or not." Cui Wenjing said with dignity: "You must know that my Cui family is not dependent on you. If you are not interested, then we can go our separate ways."
"You sound like you're asking me to marry you."
Cui Wenjing lifted the bolt.
"No, no, no..." Zhao Changhe raised his hands in surrender: "Yangyang and I love each other, and I must marry her. If you don't let me marry you, I will be angry with you."
Cui Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you have any other meaning by saying this?"
"Uncle, with your business mindset... what would you think if I said I really didn't want to be an emperor, and I couldn't be one... and Yangyang just followed a gangster around the world, what would you think?"
Cui Wenjing was stunned and frowned.
Zhao Changhe said: "So I said I don't want to use this business angle... The relationship between Yangyang and I is our own business. I hope that when I travel around the world, I will have Yangyang by my side. Maybe it's not the same as what my uncle thinks."
Cui Wenjing frowned and looked at him. In fact, the old fox heard another hidden meaning in Zhao Changhe's words. If it was just a gangster who traveled around the world, there would really be no such thing as a master's wife. There would be no such thing as a legal wife or not. Maybe there would be an age ranking...
But if you are just a man wandering around the world, how can you accept and embrace everything? Don’t even mention whether I am willing or not, would Tang Wanzhuang be willing
Well, maybe that little fool Cui Yuanyang himself is willing to do it.
Headache.
Zhao Changhe wanted to laugh when he saw Lao Cui's expression: "Uncle... are you still going to set a date for the wedding?"
"Sure." Cui Wenjing said expressionlessly, "I don't believe you will wander around the world."
Zhao Changhe said slowly: "I would like to advise my uncle... The world is changing, and the old family thinking may also need to change. Gods and demons have come, and you are still focusing on trivial matters. I am afraid you can't keep up with the times."
Cui Wenjing squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said, "Some things cannot be changed... In the world of gods and demons, there will also be families of gods and demons. No matter how much of a prodigal son you are, you must eventually have a family."
Zhao Changhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe."
Cui Wenjing said: "Yangyang went home and told me about the situation of the Wang family's sea tribe. What do you think?"
"The Wang family may not have realized the infiltration of the sea clan before, or even if they realized it, they just hoped they could control it. But this time they openly brought out the Yin Qi to control the Lianshan Sword, which means that the Wang family actually knew the harm of this Yin Qi, but still did it. Uncle, do you think Wang Daoning has been controlled by the sea clan, or is there another reason?"
Cui Wenjing said, "I have known Wang Daoning for decades, and I don't believe that a man like him can be easily controlled. Perhaps it is not that simple. But I also find it hard to understand that he openly raised an army to participate in the struggle for supremacy. This should not happen, especially when the queen is still here. It is simply inexplicable."
Zhao Changhe nodded: "I really don't have much energy to pay attention to the Wang family's affairs, so I'll trouble my uncle to take care of it. I need to go to a secret place, and it may take a long time to go back and forth... I hope that the mountains and rivers will not change color when I come out."
Cui Wenjing said: "Then the wedding date will be set after you come out."
Zhao Changhe said readily: "Okay, uncle will arrange it."
Anyway, the meaning of not distinguishing between big and small has been expressed, and it is their business what they think.
Cui Wenjing's old face also showed a smile, and became kind: "There were a few times before that you asked me to find clues to something, and we actually found it in the end, but it seems that Ying Wu got there first, which is a bit embarrassing."
Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is there any need to fight for this kind of face..."
"Yes. He is on the Heavenly Ranking, but I am not? His bandit brothers will be useful, but my Cui family is useless?"
"Emmmm..."
Cui Wenjing said leisurely: "I don't know what secret realm you are going to this time, but I can roughly guess that it is directly related to the Maitreya battle this time, which is why you are obsessed with where to go before your injury has healed yet."
Zhao Changhe said: "Uncle, you are wise, there is indeed some connection."
"Is it related to Gu? This is not a corpse puppet technique, and the method of taking over the body is all achieved by Gu. But this guy has been hiding in the secret realm for a long time and cannot cultivate more types of Gu worms, so there are very few patterns."
"right… "
Cui Wenjing nodded: "Ying Wu specializes in studying secret realms, and may be more proficient in these things than us, but their foundation is still insufficient. They may know clues to many things, but they don't have anything substantial... You keep this thing, it will be of great use to you on this trip."
As he spoke, he threw a small mirror-like thing over to him: "The purple energy is vast and runs through the mountains and rivers. It can protect you from the harm of witchcraft. Of course, it can't make you immune, but it can help you resist and can reflect the hard-to-see witchcraft... How is it, is it useful to you?"
Zhao Changhe was ecstatic: "It's useful, absolutely very useful!"
Cui Wenjing walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back: "Not relying on power? Wandering around the world? Ha... just kidding. Just be prepared to come back and get married."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
