Song Qingshu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall girl looking at him with a blushing face. It was Yelu Qi's sister – Yelu Yan.
Of all the girls he knew, Yelu Yan was probably the tallest. In addition, her figure was extremely slender. In his previous life, she would definitely be a world-famous model. But although she was tall, perhaps because of her age, her face had a trace of childishness. The two completely different combinations made Song Qingshu a little distressed. If others could be described as having a childish complexion and large breasts, then what could Yelu Yan be described as having a childish complexion and tall slender?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a suitable adjective. At this time, Ah Jiu, who was beside him, had already pulled him over to her. "When she heard that you were coming back, Miss Yelu also pestered you to come along."
"Sister Ah Jiu ~" Hearing her teasing, Yelu Yan was so embarrassed that she quickly hid behind her brother. But she still secretly looked at Song Qingshu from time to time. She already knew about the marriage alliance, and that the person in front of her was her husband. How could she not be curious?
"Uncle, brother Yelu." Song Qingshu smiled at Yelu Yan, then cupped his hands in greeting to Yelu Chucai and Yelu Qi.
Yelu Chucai and Yelu Qi hurriedly cupped their hands in greeting. "Greetings, Master."
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. "We're all family, no need to be so formal."
Yelu Chucai also smiled. "Etiquette cannot be ignored. After the marriage, we will not be courteous with you. Yan 'er, come and meet your Brother Song."
Yelu Yan shyly stood up from behind her brother. Although she was still shy because of her young age, growing up on the grasslands gave her the courage to look at her lover.
Song Qingshu smiled at her. "Hello, sister Yan."
Yelu Yan replied in a small voice, "Hello Brother Song."
Song Qingshu sighed inwardly. He was not like the protagonists in the novels he had read in his previous life who rejected marriage alliances. As long as it was beneficial to his cause and he did not hate it, he could completely accept a new marriage. In fact, this was the mainstream view of this world. For example, Ah Jiu and Zhao Min, who were born in the royal family, were quite supportive of this. Zhou Zhiruo and Dongfang Muxue, who were born in the pugilistic world but had a lot of ambition, also turned a blind eye to it. Even if the others were unwilling, they could not express their opposition under such circumstances.
In fact, a marriage alliance did not necessarily mean a simple exchange of benefits. For example, with Ah Jiu and Ren Yingying, both could be said to be in love with each other. A marriage alliance was the icing on the cake, but it had to be said that the probability of this happening was too small. In most cases, one would marry someone who had no feelings for each other. Whether it was Zeng Rou or Yelu Yan, although they were not outstanding beauties, they were still good-looking beauties. From a man's point of view, they were still very attractive. But Song Qingshu had to admit that he did not love them, so it was destined that they would not be happy in the future.
However, it was necessary to marry them. Previously, he needed the support of Situ Leideng's faction, and now he needed the Yelu family's loyalty. Since Yelu Chucai and his father came, the Golden Snake Camp, which had a strong atmosphere of the pugilistic world, had taken on a new look, becoming more and more like a well-organized country, rather than an organization of the pugilistic world.
This kind of talent was similar to Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu. Not to mention that his daughter was a top-notch beauty, even if his daughter was a woman without beauty, he would still marry her without hesitation.
Although he felt somewhat sorry for Zeng Rou and Yelu Yan, he could only wrong them. All he could do was to take up the responsibility of a husband, and after the matter was over, he would burn the bridge and give their families the corresponding glory …
At this time, Xiao Feng also finished greeting the others and walked over. Both sides came from Liao, and now that they met again, they were especially emotional, and they almost held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
When the group returned to the city, Ah Jiu had already arranged a grand banquet. On one hand, it was to welcome Song Qingshu, and on the other hand, it was to welcome Xiao Feng. During the banquet, the officials all toasted to Song Qingshu and Xiao Feng.
Because Xiao Feng had been in prison for some time, and because of what happened to Liao, he was depressed, so he simply drank to drown his sorrows. As for Song Qingshu, because he had been running around all year round, he also needed to get close to these confidants in the headquarters. Therefore, both of them did not refuse anyone, and unknowingly drank dozens of jars.
Xiao Feng originally had a large capacity, and Song Qingshu had been influenced by the high concentration of strong alcohol in his later life. Coupled with his vigorous internal energy, even a little bit of drunkenness would be dissolved by his internal energy, so the two of them drank more and more excitedly.
Later, Xiao Feng pulled Yelu Qi to talk about all kinds of things about Liao. Yelu Chucai then moved to Song Qingshu's side, and after chatting for a while, intentionally or unintentionally mentioned his daughter's marriage, "Qingshu, how long do you plan to stay this time? Why don't you arrange the marriage with Yan 'er first?"
After their family moved to the Golden Snake Camp, their status was a little awkward. Although the Han people and the Khitans were not as hostile as with the Female Zhenren, they were not very friendly either. They always felt like guests. Only when this marriage was completely settled could they properly integrate into the whole group.
This time, Song Qingshu actually did not stay for long. Next, he had to go to the Jin Kingdom to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition. It could be said that there were a lot of headaches. Of course, if he told the truth, maybe Yelu Chucai would think that he was evading, and then they would be disappointed.
"This time, I came back to marry your daughter," said Song Qingshu half-truthfully. At the same time, he took out a huge luminous pearl, "This son-in-law will use this pearl as a betrothal gift. I hope that uncle will marry the pearl in your palm to me."
The surrounding people sucked in a breath of cold air. Such a fist-sized luminous pearl was really priceless. If it fell into the Jianghu, who knew how many sects would be destroyed, how many families would be ruined and how many people would die.
And to put it bluntly, just this luminous pearl alone could be exchanged for many young girls. Now that he was only asking for a girl's hand in marriage, his sincerity was almost overflowing.
But Song Qingshu himself did not care. This luminous pearl was the biggest one he found in the Imperial Treasury of Liao. In any case, he was offering Buddha with borrowed flowers, so he did not feel bad about it. Moreover, the other party's value was not just priceless. In a sense, this luminous pearl was not for Yelu Yan, nor was it for Yelu Qi. It was mainly for Yelu Chucai, the Emperor's assistant. In his heart, one Yelu Chucai was more precious than a thousand or ten thousand of these pearls.
Seeing him take out such a precious betrothal gift, and more importantly, publicly announce this matter, Yelu Chucai couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "With such a good son-in-law, what more can I ask for!"
If the previous engagement was only a private agreement, now that it was completely set, in a sense, it could be said to be announced to the world. There was no possibility of reneging. How could Yelu Chucai, who had always been worried about his family, not be overjoyed?
"There's no time like the present, why don't we get married today?" On the side, A 'Jiu suddenly said with a smile.
