At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 28 After the Clan
Gao Shilian's old house is a large courtyard with five entrances, but it is dizzying to see pavilions, pavilions, rockery springs, cornices and painted buildings. This is the heritage of a noble family. Even if it has declined, the skeleton is still there. As long as you cultivate If one or two top-notch talents are produced, they can rise again immediately and continue their glory.

"Such a house will probably cost hundreds of millions in future generations." Gao Bufan secretly sighed as he walked, and since Gao Kaishan stepped into the high house, he seemed to be preoccupied, and seemed to have no regard for the architectural furnishings of this mansion. Not interested either.

Gao Bufan and his son followed Huang Cheng into the living room, and immediately met dozens of pairs of scrutinizing gazes, they couldn't help being slightly surprised, what's going on?
Just as he was surprised, Changsun Wuji had already stepped forward to greet him first, and said happily: "Brother Changqing is here, this must be your father. He is indeed very mighty. The younger generation, Changsun Wuji, has met Gao Changzhu."

"Young Master Changsun, you're being polite!" Gao Kaishan hastily bowed his hand to return the salute, and then glanced at Gao Bufan suspiciously: "Changqing? When did Fan'er change his name?"

Gao Bufan laughed dryly and said, "It's the name that the child picked up blindly by himself, but the eldest grandson took it seriously."

Gao Kaishan nodded and said: "Well, it's good to get it. Fan'er's name will be called Changqing in the future, and I will pick you up as a father. It just happens that my father will save trouble!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help smiling, and thought to himself, as expected, like a father, like a son.

Changsun Sheng laughed and said: "Now this old man finally understands why Mr. Gao is so upright and free and easy at such a young age, and the master who dares to love Gao is also a person who doesn't care about trivial matters."

Everyone else present laughed in good faith.

Gao Kaishan hastily saluted and said: "This must be General Changsun who is well-known in Turkic world. Caomin Gao Kaishan pays respects to General Changsun."

Changsun Sheng smiled and said, "Master Gao is absurd. All of you here are from the Bohai Gao family. I hope that Master Gao will not be so abrupt."

Gao Kaishan didn't dare!
At this time, a tall, thin, middle-aged man stood up and said with a smile, "Master Gao, are you safe? I haven't seen you in Hongyan Tower for a while, but the dishes don't suit your taste?"

This person's name is Gao Shihong, and he is the big boss of the Hongyan Tower. Gao Kaishan occasionally hosts banquets in the Hongyan Tower, so he has met Gao Shihong before, and he also knows that the other party is from the Northern Qi clan, but the two can only be regarded as casual pay.

Gao Kaishan said: "It turned out to be a high-ranking member. Thanks to you, everything is fine with me, but the racecourse is too busy, and I don't even have time to go to the city. It is true that I haven't been to the Hongyan Tower for a long time, but the Hongyan Tower seems to have regular customers every day." Yun Lai, high-ranking officials make money every day, there are not many customers for one more servant, and there are not many customers for one less servant.”

Gao Shihong laughed and said, "General Changsun, look, Master Gao is still so eloquent."

Changsun Sheng smiled and said: "Since Shihong and Master Gao know each other, it would be the best. Please give us an introduction."

"It should be so!" Gao Shihong stroked his long beard, and began to introduce: "This man's name is Gaoqian, and his name is Shilian. He comes from the lineage of King Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He is also the owner of this place. He is currently the governor of Taichang Temple."

"So it's Mr. Zhi Lilang, disrespect and disrespect!" Gao Kaishan saluted with fists in his hands.

Gao Shihong pointed to the elegant middle-aged man and introduced: "This is my younger brother Gao Shitai, who passed the Fourth Imperial Examination last year... This Gao Shizhen comes from the lineage of King Zhao Jun of the Northern Qi Dynasty."

Gao Shihong finished introducing the older Gaoshi clan members on the field, and then said with a smile: "You don't need to introduce yourself between young people, let's get to know each other by ourselves."

There were only four young Gaoshi clansmen present, and they were all rising stars in the clan, otherwise they would not have had the chance to show their faces in front of Changsun Sheng.

The eldest grandson Wuji warmly introduced Gao Bufan. The four young members of the Gao clan were named Gao Junxian, Gao Qingyuan, Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng. Yes, but a little arrogant and not very talkative; Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng are brothers, as strong as two little tigers, and the two brothers are also the most enthusiastic, so they grab Gao Bufan and ask around.

Gao Shiheng: "Brother Changqing, does your family run a racecourse?"

Gao Bufan: "Yes!"

Gao Shixiong: "Then you must know how to ride a horse and shoot an arrow?"

Gao Bufan: "A little bit!"

Gao Shixiong: "Brother Changqing is humble. My second brother and I also like horseback riding and archery. The second brother's equestrian skills are better than mine, but my archery skills are better than his. Within a hundred or ten steps, I hit every shot with every shot, and it's true!"

Gao Bufan: "Brother Shixiong is amazing, I admire him!"

Gao Shiheng: "Don't listen to his bragging, he can't hit every shot with fifty steps."

Gao Bufan: "..."

Gao Shixiong blushed, and changed the topic: "Brother Changqing, can you compose poetry?"

Gao Bufan shook his head.

Gao Shiheng said happily: "That's great, my eldest brother and I don't know how to compose poems. How about riding a horse and archery with your eldest brother tomorrow at your horse farm?"

Gao Bufan: "..."

Gao Qingyuan next to him suddenly interjected: "If brother Changqing doesn't know how to compose poems, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my fortune tonight."

Gao Bufan wondered, "How do you say that?"

Gao Gaoyuan didn't speak anymore, while Gao Junxian and Changsun Wuji next to him just smiled and said nothing, but Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng looked like they lacked interest.

A few young people formed a circle to chat there, Changsun Sheng, Gao Kaishan and the others were not idle, at this moment, only Gao Shilian asked: "Gao Changzhu's surname is Gao, is it also a native of Xing County?"

Gao Kaishan nodded and said: "It should be considered. Although I only moved to Yu County more than ten years ago, my ancestors are indeed natives of Yu County."

Upon hearing this, Gao Shilian hurriedly asked: "I don't know what the name of the ancestor is?"

Gao Kaishan replied: "I am the queen of Langya King Gao Yan."

"What!" Gao Shilian exclaimed in surprise, Gao Shihong and others looked at each other in blank dismay, some even showed contempt and sarcasm, apparently not believing it.

"Brother Changqing, it turns out that you are the empress of Langya King Gaoyan from the Northern Qi clan?" Changsun Wuji said pleasantly.

Gao Bufan looked at his father Gao Kaishan in bewilderment. He had never heard his father mention Langya King. Besides, who is Langya King?Is it famous?

Gao Shilian hesitated for a moment, and cautiously reminded: "Master Gao, as far as I know, King Gao Yan of Langya has no descendants. You are sure that you are really a descendant of King Langya."

Gao Shitai even sarcastically said: "Langya King Gao Yan was only sixteen years old when he was murdered by the queen master Gao Wei. The four posthumous sons were all imprisoned to death. It is impossible to leave descendants. Alright."

Changsun Sheng frowned secretly. The reason why he invited Gao Bufan and his son to show their face in front of the Gao clan today was to repay Gao Bufan's help that day, and secondly because he felt that Gao Bufan was a good man. With the intention of wooing, his father's character seems to be not good, and in order to raise his status, he would recognize his relatives indiscriminately. Forget it, he even claimed to be the queen of Langya King of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it turned out to be a joke!

Gao Bufan frowned, he knew that his father, Gao Kaishan, was not the kind of person who cheated, climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, and it was absolutely impossible for him to mistake his ancestors for self-worth, but why didn't he hear it before?

At this time, the living room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward, but Gao Kaishan said calmly: "I'm afraid you don't know something. Back then, the Lord Gao Wei favored the ministers and Shi Kai and others, which caused the court to be weak and the officials to govern. Corruption, the corruption of the three armies, and the crumbling state of the country, King Langya was young and heroic, and he was extremely brave. He shot and killed the treacherous officials and Shikai in anger, but in the end he was killed by the empress Gao Wei, and the four posthumous children were also imprisoned to death. People don't know that one of the posthumous sons was rescued by a loyal servant, and he went to Nanchen and grew up. 13 years ago, Nanchen was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty. "

All the members of the Gao clan present looked at each other again after hearing the words, Gao Shilian coughed lightly and said, "Could it be that the owner of Gaochang is the lucky one who escaped by chance?"

Gao Kaishan nodded, took out a quaint jade pendant from his bosom and said: "This is a token left by my mother back then. It has been kept by a loyal servant, and it was handed over to me when I became an adult."

Gao Shilian said solemnly: "Can I let you watch it next time?"

"There is nothing you can do!" Gao Kaishan handed the jade pendant over, Gao Shilian took it and inspected it carefully, nodded and said: "That's right, this is indeed the property of Prince Langya in the Northern Qi Dynasty."

Gao Shihong, Gao Shitai and others hurriedly came forward to watch, and their expressions gradually changed.Gao Shizhen cupped his hands towards Gao Kaishan and said: "May I ask Master Gao, what is the name of the loyal servant who saved you? Where is it now?"

Gao Kaishan replied without thinking: "His name is Gao Qijin. I usually call him Uncle Qijin. The year Nanchen was destroyed, he died of illness and failed to return to his hometown."

"Gao Qijin?" Gao Shihong and Gao Shitai looked at each other. It was more than 40 years ago that Langya King Gao Yan was killed. They were both young at that time. servant.

At this time, the oldest member of the Gao clan present spoke. His name was Gao Huan, he was sixty years old, and he was the queen of King Chenliu. He has courage, and his nickname seems to be Top Jack!"

Now that there are both physical evidence and personal evidence, most of the people can't help but believe it, and the eyes they look at Gao Kaishan and Gao Bufan can't help but change, becoming more friendly.

Just like the so-called clan relatives, the broken bones are still connected to the tendons. Blood ancestry has always been the thing that can bring the distance the most. Gao Bufan can clearly feel that the young people of the Gao family are getting closer to him. Even Gao Qingyuan, a little boy who doesn't like to talk too much, started to chat with him on his own initiative.
