Chapter 2547 Bewitching!
Chapter 2547 Bewitching!
After hearing this, Kang Ning also stood up and bowed to Chai An, then said seriously, "I will report to my mother right away, and ask you to arrange the marriage as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the house with Shouhua, and then the two of them took a carriage and headed towards the Li family's courtyard.
After Wang Yue and the other two had left, he said to Chai An seriously, "Actually, there is an opportunity now. I wonder if you are willing to try it."
When Chai An heard Wang Yue say this, he asked with some confusion, "Sir, please go ahead. Chai An will listen attentively."
Wang Yue saw that Chai An was cautious, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I heard that there was a country called Bohai Kingdom in the northeast of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. I wonder if Master Chai has heard of it?"
Chai An didn't expect Wang Yue to ask this. He was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly,
"Shanzhang, although our Chai family's business has reached Cangzhou and even has some business in Liao Kingdom, I can't influence Bohai Kingdom at all."
Chai An thought that Wang Yue wanted to use the Bohai Kingdom to achieve some purpose and was preparing to recruit him into the group. Their Chai family would never dare to take the risk, so he refused without a second thought.
Wang Yue certainly understood Chai An's idea, and he immediately said solemnly, "Mr. Chai, you probably misunderstood. Although I was excluded from the imperial examination, I have no intention of rebelling.
What I want to say is that according to reliable information, Dayanlin of Bohai State has now raised the flag of rebellion. He has quickly seized the former land of Bohai State, and now Bohai State has changed its owner. "
When Chai An heard what Wang Yue said, he couldn't help but gasp. If this news was true, then it would be very feasible.
If we could support the Bohai Kingdom and allow it to withstand the attack from the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom's energy would be tied up, and there might be a chance to take back the Ten States of Yanyun.
Of course, if the Bohai Kingdom could not hold on, transporting back a group of young people from the fallen nation would probably become the spark for the Bohai Kingdom to restore its independence, and maybe one day they would take the opportunity to create chaos in the Liao Kingdom.
After all, Chai An grew up in the Song Dynasty, and his father died early. The Chai family had long lost the idea of seizing the world. They just thought that this was a great opportunity to make great contributions.
After all, Chai An was also an ambitious person, and he certainly did not want to be like his father, living a life of mediocrity. But if the Chai family wanted to be an official, they had to make a contribution that could not be ignored.
Therefore, after he roughly guessed Wang Yue's thoughts, he said uncertainly, "The Bohai Kingdom is very close to the heartland of the Liao Kingdom. I'm afraid there is no room for maneuver. I'm afraid it will be destroyed soon. Our Song Dynasty has no chance to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"
After hearing this, Wang Yue said very seriously, "Of course I know that Bohai Kingdom cannot succeed, but if we can take the opportunity to rescue the rebellious Dayanlin, or his cronies who followed him in the rebellion, then the Song Dynasty will have room for maneuver in the future. I think the current steward will definitely give you some rewards after knowing this news."
Chai An now understood that Wang Yue was not asking him to rebel, but to accomplish a great deed.
You know, if the Song Dynasty could recruit some manpower and constantly harass the Liao Kingdom from the sea, it could at least make the Liao Kingdom busy and exhausted. Even if it could not take the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the northern border would be much safer.
Thinking of this, Chai An became excited, but after he got over his excitement, he said in embarrassment, "But I'm afraid that Dayanlin of Bohai State and his cronies won't listen to me, so how can I take him away?"
Wang Yue looked at Chai An's expectant eyes and said unhappily, "Do you still want to knock him out and take him away directly? You just need to rush over and contact several major families in Bohai Kingdom on the pretext of doing business, and then help them take a group of younger generations out of Bohai Kingdom."
Wang Yue said this, and seeing Chai An was very surprised, he obviously didn't understand what he meant, so he explained, "Bohai will definitely not be able to defend, so you just need to arrange a passage, and when the Liao army breaks through Bohai, take these young people away in the chaos. And, for convenience, I think you can contact Dayanlin's confidants and ask them to take people out to sea on their own initiative."
Chai An thought about it and felt that Wang Yue's method was very feasible. After all, after Dayanlin rebelled, even if he was caught, he might not die. At most, he would be imprisoned. However, it was likely that those of Dayanlin's subordinates would not be able to survive.
Thinking of this, Chai An said very seriously, "In that case, I will go and run it."
But when he said this, he smiled bitterly and said, "But I am worried that His Majesty will not give me the opportunity to be an official. After all, few monarchs who surrendered to the Song Dynasty had a good ending."
Wang Yue saw that Chai An was still a little hesitant, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, others may not do that, but the emperor will. Besides, don't you see that the descendants of the king of Wuyue are also doing well as officials?"
Seeing Wang Yue say this and thinking about how Wang Yue got the Dragon Patterned Sword so easily, Chai An made up his mind to plan well for his future.
The two planned some details, but Chai An was worried about his marriage with Kang Ning, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
After all, Chai An still needs to go back and take care of his mother, so he has no mood to stay here any longer.
……
Chai family,
As soon as Chai An returned home, he asked if his mother had returned home. After learning that his mother had returned, he hurried to the backyard to look for her.
When Mrs. Chai heard that her beloved son had returned, she was originally planning to arrange for someone to look for him, hoping that her son could help her find the liar. However, Chai An took the initiative to come to her, saving her from trouble.
As soon as she saw Chai An, she said aggrievedly, "An'er, your mother was cheated. The old immortal in the temple took the money and disappeared. The temple was not built anymore!"
Chai An was happily preparing to talk about his marriage, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his scalp, because he knew the truth of the matter: the woman he liked cheated on his mother.
Chai An wanted to keep the matter vague, but he also knew that the two sides would meet sooner or later, and he didn't have much time left. He also needed to arrange things in Bohai Bay, so he didn't hesitate and said directly, "Mom, there is something I have to confess to you."
When Mrs. Chai heard her son being so serious, she immediately forgot about her own affairs and asked anxiously, "An'er, what's wrong? Do you have something to tell me?" Chai An decided to tell her something that would interest her first, so she smiled and said, "It's like this, I've fallen in love with a girl, and I came back this time to ask my mother to arrange a matchmaker to come to my house to propose marriage."
Sure enough, Madam Chai stood up immediately after hearing this. She walked quickly to Chai An, took his arm, and asked excitedly, "Great, An'er, which girl is this? Tell me quickly, and I'll arrange for someone to propose marriage."
Chai An took the opportunity to support the lady and helped her back to her seat. After the lady sat down, he served her a cup of tea, but he didn't intend to speak a word.
Seeing that Madam Chai was getting anxious and began to urge him, Chai An said helplessly, "This girl and I are also acquainted with each other. Mother, you should just listen to me and tell me slowly."
Mrs. Chai suddenly became nervous. No fighting, no acquaintance?
Could it be that my son has fallen in love with a mountain king?
Thinking of the female queen daughter-in-law of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, Madam Chai felt that this might be the case!
Although Madam Chai felt somewhat disgusted, she was not incapable of compromising for the sake of her son, so she calmed herself down and said, "Tell me, I also want to know what kind of young lady could have coaxed this naughty monkey of mine."
Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost complete, Chai An slowly told Kang Ning how he met her. After telling the story, he said a little embarrassedly, "Mom, you and Kang Ning's mother are the same. You both raised your children alone, but in the end, you two were implicated by us two children. I'm sorry, mom, for making you suffer."
After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Chai felt a surge of anger in her heart and wanted to vent it but couldn't.
After all, according to Chai An, it was Chai An who first used the girl's mother to cheat her out of 180 strings of cash, so the girl retaliated. This can be considered a case of revenge.
Mrs. Chai really wanted to oppose this marriage, but she was worried that her son would not find a good wife, which made her a little conflicted.
But from Chai An's pleading eyes, she knew that her son really liked this girl. Although she felt very uncomfortable, she still said helplessly, "Son, do you have to have this girl?"
Chai An said very seriously, "Mom, our business is so big. If we don't have a woman like you to help run it, your son will be very tired. The third daughter of the Li family can compete with me in English teaching. I think she can definitely be my good wife."
Madam Chai was very proud to hear her son's praise, because after Chai An's father died, it was Madam Chai who supported the business alone. This was how the Chai family's business did not decline, and was safely handed over to Chai An.
So, the anger in her heart dissipated a lot, and then she asked curiously, "Is that the little girl running the Five Blessings dessert shop?"
Of course Chai An would not mention Wang Yue at this time. After all, this shop had been given to the Li family by Wang Yue as a gift, so he deliberately said confidently, "Of course, otherwise, how could your son like him?"
In fact, Mrs. Chai is also paying attention to the shop Wufulinmen. Although it has not been open for long, it is making a lot of money every day. I think if it opens a shop in other cities in the future, it will also sell well.
If they can open up branches in every major city of the Song Dynasty in the future, they will be rich enough to rival a country.
Although the Chai family's business has not been able to open in every major city, it still has branches in major towns in the north. If the two companies join forces, the Wufu Linmen dessert shop can quickly spread throughout the northern part of the Song Dynasty, and then slowly develop to the south.
Madam Chai still had some business ideas, and she thought this marriage was not bad. So, she compromised and said, "Mother, just treat this conspiracy as a test for her, and don't bother with her."
When Chai An heard his mother say this, he immediately said excitedly, "Mom, do you agree to this marriage?"
Madam Chai smiled and said, "I agree. Where can I find such a smart girl? Since you like me, I will arrange for someone to propose marriage to you."
Chai An was very happy after hearing this and couldn't help but act coquettishly in front of his mother again.
You know, since I grew up, I haven't acted like a spoiled child in front of my mother for a long time.
When Mrs. Chai saw her son's reaction, she realized that her son was truly in love this time. She was very happy for her son, but at the same time she felt a little upset.
……
Li Family,
At this time, Kang Ning told her mother about the troubles her family had encountered, and of course she also told her that Chai An wanted to marry her.
After hearing this, Madam Li immediately said excitedly, "This boy has good taste. This marriage is great. When will he come to propose? I'll have someone clean up the yard right away."
Seeing his mother so excited, Kang Ning said helplessly, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
Mrs. Li saw that her daughter was in a dilemma. She thought of something and immediately said anxiously, "Kangning, your elder sister has to be a concubine. There is nothing we can do about it. I am sorry for her. But you really can't do it. I can't let all of you become concubines."
Kang Ning didn't expect her mother to think this way, so she quickly explained, "Mom, you misunderstood. It's not about being a concubine. She wants me to be the mistress of the house, so of course I can't be a concubine."
After hearing this, Madam Li was relieved and said, "It's good that she's not a concubine. What's the big deal? Just tell her that your mother can handle it."
Seeing his mother say this, Kang Ning said helplessly, "Mom, didn't I plot against his mother? I don't know if his mother will forgive me. If you see him then, I'm afraid you need to try the weaker one a little bit."
When Madam Li heard this, she immediately said in dissatisfaction, "I am marrying off my daughter. If I show weakness, won't you have to live under her will when you go to her place? That won't do."
Seeing his mother so excited, Kang Ning quickly said to her in a soothing tone, "Mom, don't worry, Madam Chai can't always take Qiao's money, because Chai An has done something to let you down."
