Chapter 344 Xinzheng Gao Family (Part [-])
After hearing this, Gao Wushi knew that it was pure nonsense, so he still nodded and said nonsense in a serious manner: "That is, that is, elder brother inherits my Gao family tradition, regards money as dung, treats money with frugality, keeps integrity and self-discipline, younger brother He has always been a role model.”

Gao Wuzi couldn't help being a little embarrassed when he heard him mention the family tradition, coughed dryly, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

It's no wonder he was embarrassed, Gao's family style had nothing to do with him.

Gao Yushi's Taizu Gao Kui was an official, "Keep honesty and encourage festivals, start with yourself, don't need stoves in winter, don't cover them in summer, and don't need meat for meals. For six years, the city's scholars and bureaucrats believed and obeyed them." But the coupons are always burned, and they don’t stop at all; when there is a famine, porridge is always kept, and the hunger is too much. Usually, the wealth is shared with the nephew, and the wealth is distributed to the clan at the end of the day.”

Grandfather Gao Shangxian was an official, "upholding integrity and impartiality, always revealing his secrets, and being frugal. Although he is in the position of high officials, his utensils are not wrong with silver, and his clothes are not brocade. You can know his actions."

Gao Gong also said to himself: "Although the servant is an eunuch, his family has always been cold and covenant, but he keeps his door behind closed doors. He has never entered the public office, nor has he put any money in the village." His clan members strictly disciplined them, "Although there are many people in the clan, the servants all teach them to be polite and not to commit crimes. Today, if anyone commits crimes, he will beg to be brought to justice, so that everyone will be afraid and dare not indulge... ...to make the members of the family know how to abide by the etiquette and not to fall into evil, wouldn't it be kind!"

This is not just Gao Gong talking to himself, Hai Rui also commented: "Zhongxuan is a prime minister who keeps the poor and clean."

More later people also commented on this fairly. For example, Fan Shouji said: "Gao Gong assisted the late emperor, who was loyal, diligent and upright; he praised the government for several years, and the cleanliness was the same; there is no family without buds, and the family has no wealth." Zhi Dalun said: "The arch is clean and straight, and the family is like a poor man." Sun Qifeng also said: Gao Gong "from the auxiliary storage to the Shenjun shaft, it has lasted for 30 years without increasing the size of the field house", "the family of the Zhongzhou family Yan, Xian is called Gao Shi."

And Gao Wuzi, as the eldest brother of Gao Yushi's generation, was born to be a cockfighting dog and a frivolous one.His father, Gao Jie, was originally the most promising person in his generation except Gao Gong. .

In fact, Gao Jie was originally in good health when he returned to his hometown, but because he was often angry with his only son, he died within a few years.

Gao Wushi was very aware of the elder brother's virtues, but his uncle had enlightened him back then, so he gave Gao Wuzi a little stab and stopped, and saluted with the other brothers.

The one who persuaded Gao Wuzi earlier was the adopted son of Uncle Gao Jie. Coincidentally, his name was Meng Nan, just like Mrs. Gao Gong's nephew of Mrs. Zhang.Gao Mengnan was the son of one of Gao Jie's subordinates. His father died at the hands of Japanese pirates. He had no relatives in his family, so Gao Jie adopted him as his adopted son.

Gao Mengnan doesn't study very well, but he is kind and gentle, but he is nearly 20 years older than Gao Yushi, so the two don't have much contact with each other.

At this time, Gao Wuzi resentfully stopped talking, and Gao Mengnan didn't want to say much, so he stopped after saying a few polite words of routine.

The third person to say hello is Gao Wuben, the son of the fifth uncle Gaocai. He is also ten years older than Gao Yushi. .Gaocai became an official, and he didn't want to take the exam again. He favored a Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he is still going through the formalities. It is estimated that he will go to the capital soon.

With Gao Gong around, this kind of thing shouldn't be a problem. Gao Yushi reckons that he might be awarded the title of a general of some sort. In terms of rank, he might be a fifth-rank martial arts general.

Gao Wuben was quite polite to Gao Wushi, and asked him if the journey was smooth. Gao Wushi didn't want to say that he was assassinated on the road, so he smiled and said that it was very smooth.

Gao Wuben nodded, asked a few more questions about his studies, and then stopped.

The last two are Gao Yushi's younger brothers, the second brother Gao Wuguan and the third brother Gao Wuqin.Gao Wuguan is seven years old this year. He was originally Gao Yushi's follower. Now that Gao Yushi has been away from home for nearly a year, he seems to be a lot more sensible. When he came up, he bowed to Gao Yushi and said, "Brother, you have worked hard all the way."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "I'm not at home, you have a filial and good mother? Didn't you bully your younger siblings?"

"I greet my mother every day, and I also teach my younger brothers and sisters to read and study." Gao Wuguan said expectantly.

Gao Wushi laughed, and said: "I will ask my mother later, if it is true, I will reward my brother a lot."

"Okay, okay!" Gao Wuguan said happily.

"Cough!" Gao Wuzi coughed, turned his head away, but a sentence came: "How heavy is it?"

The third brother, Gao Wuqin, was only five years old, and he didn't know how to be afraid of people, so he suddenly said, "Anyway, he is heavier than you, and they all say you are frivolous, so you must not be heavier."

Gao Wuzi's complexion changed drastically, and he said angrily, "Who did you listen to!"

Gao Wuqin was not afraid of him, he raised his neck and said, "Many people have said, should you take care of it?"

Gao Wuzi was furious, walked over two steps, and glared at Gao Wuqin: "I really don't understand etiquette without my father's teaching. It seems that I need my elder brother to point me out!"

"Wait a minute!" Gao Wushi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, suppressed his smile, looked at Gao Wuzi, and said slowly: "Eldest brother, although you are the eldest brother of Zhufang, but you must not forget that when grandfather passed away, fathers It's a separated family. Even if Wu Qin wants to be disciplined by his elder brother, I should be in charge."

"You?" Gao Wuzi smiled angrily, and narrowed his eyes: "Don't think that you can run wild in your hometown because you are valued by the third uncle. This is Xinzheng, not the capital. I am the elder brother of Dafang, in charge of the ancestral hall!"

"So?" Gao Wushi also narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Are you threatening me and expelling me from the family tree?"

"You think I don't dare?" Gao Wuzi stepped forward, staring at Gao Wushi and said fiercely: "This is Gao Laozhuang, and I will enforce the family law as the head of the long house right now. I will beat you up first. What can I do?"

Gao Yushi really hadn't experienced this kind of anger in the past year, his brain became hot, and he shouted: "Gao Yu!"

Gao Yu was originally behind him, but upon hearing this, he immediately took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "The little one is here."

Gao Wushi said coldly: "What is your duty?"

Without further ado, Gao Yu turned his head to look at Qi Ding behind him, waved his hand, and made a gesture.

All the riders had already realized that something was wrong with their young masters. Although they knew that the young masters of the Gao family were in front of them, they were high-minded servants and couldn't control others. They immediately untied the wild goose feather swords around their waists and rode forward. Outflank the left and right sides, and surround Gao Yushi and others in the middle.

The complexions of the members of the Gao family changed drastically, and Gao Mengnan hurriedly said: "Practical, why is this so?" Then he turned to Gao Wuzi and said, "Brother, you too, it is agreed to take the pragmatism... They are all my brothers, why do you say such a small thing?" If it's heavy?"

Gao Wuzi didn't expect Gao Yushi to dare to be so domineering, so he froze for a moment. In the midst of a dilemma, he suddenly saw Gao Yu standing in front of Gao Yushi, and said angrily: "Gao Yu, it's no wonder that my father valued you so much back then. Is it the master who can't tell the difference?"

Gao Yu was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "The kindness and righteousness of the ancestors, I dare not forget for a moment, but the eldest son must not forget, my bond is already in the hands of the pragmatic young master, and you gave it to me."
