At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 29 Recruiting a son-in-law?

The ancients had a very strong concept of family status, especially since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, this concept has reached its peak. If you are from a noble family, you will be respected even if you are poor, and you can be proud of yourself as a poor scholar. But if you are With a mud-legged background, even if you work hard and get rich by luck, you will still be despised by others and regarded as an upstart.

Although Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had abolished the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and ended the monopoly of the gentry families on officialdom, the class concept of family status was still deeply rooted. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the gentry would only support the gentry, and the common people would also choose to support the gentry, because they Famous and resourceful.

For example, the reason why Li Tang became famous in the world later was not unrelated to the support of the Guanlong gentry. Talents from all walks of life also rushed to join Li Tang, but Xia Wang Dou Jiande did not have such a blessing, because he was born as a commoner, no matter who he was No matter how courteous corporals are, they are far less attractive to gentry and talents than Li Tang, so it is logical that they can't compete with Li Tang in the end.

Gao Bufan was originally just the son of a "horseboy", but now he has transformed into the clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although he is still the son of a "horseboy", his social status is not the same. Let's look at the attitude changes of the Gao family members before and after It can be seen.

Of course, the soul in Gao Bufan's body comes from modern times, and he is not very interested in the so-called family background. Whether it is a commoner horseman or a Northern Qi clan horseman, it doesn't make any difference to him. They all raise horses anyway, so they behave Very calm.

As a result, Gao Bufan's calmness turned into flattery in the eyes of everyone.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji felt both ashamed and admired. It seems that he still needs to work hard to cultivate. Look at Brother Changqing, who is about the same age as me, but this calmness is beyond his reach.

Changsun Sheng couldn't help but feel happy, and his evaluation of Gao Bufan was higher in his heart.When meeting Gao Bufan for the first time, grandson Sheng felt that this son acted playfully without losing his prudence, and also spoke well, his eyes were as clear as streams, bright as stars, so he guessed that the other party might not be a thing in the pool, so he told his eldest grandson Wuji Haosheng makes friends with him, and it will be beneficial in the future.

Yesterday, I met Gao Bufan again on the street. After witnessing the former's witty and chivalrous actions, Changsun Sheng became even more interested in wooing him. In addition, Changsun Sheng also vaguely felt that there was a top expert hidden behind Gao Bufan. Gao Bufan naturally wooed the top experts behind him. No matter what time it is, an expert is worth wooing, and top experts can be encountered but not sought after.

Because of this, Changsun Sheng did not hesitate to use his own face today to invite all the prominent local relatives of the Gao clan to meet Gao Bufan and his son.Although it was just a simple meeting, don't underestimate the effect of it, because the Gao clan relatives present here are all local figures with great energy. Gao Kaishan and his son opened a horse farm in Bohai County, if they can get their support , It will be a different situation. Anyone who wants to annex Flying Eagle Racecourse will have to reconsider.

What Changsun Sheng didn't expect was that Gao Kaishan was the queen of Langya King of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but this was even better. Gao Kaishan's father and son and his wife and brother Gao Shilian belonged to the Northern Qi clan, so the relationship between them was closer and it was easier to draw them together If Gao Bufan is promising in the future, he can be my son Wuji's strong support!

The withering talents of the generation of the Changsun family has always been a concern of Changsun Sheng. His favorite son, Changsun Wuji, is too young, but his elder brother, Sun Chi, has already passed away before him, and he himself is also terminally ill. The eldest grandson's family is afraid that they will lose quickly, so they are eager to lay the foundation for the eldest grandson Wuji's network and attract talents!
Closer to home, let's say that everyone has recognized their relatives, and the relationship with each other will become closer. Gao Shihong and others also affectionately call Gao Bufan a nephew, and Changsun Sheng directly calls Xiaofan.

After everyone gathered for a while, Gao Shilian reminded: "Brother, it's time to leave for Hongyan Tower."

Changsun Sheng nodded and said: "Then let's go, by the way, take Wugou to relax, and meet the young talents of your Bohai County by the way."

Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment, then turned around and told the housekeeper, "Go to the back and pick up the girl."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of all the members of the Gao clan present became eager, especially the little white face Gao Yuan, whose handsome face was flushed with excitement, and even the relatively stable Gao Junxian obviously took a tight breath.

Gao Bufan didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he became overwhelmed. Sun Sheng's reversing action implied the intention of recruiting a son-in-law. No wonder the Gao clan was so excited.

After about two cups of tea, there was a ringing sound from behind the screen. Turning out, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The eldest grandson Wugou was originally born in pink and jade, bright and pleasant, but now after dressing up, his features are even more picturesque, his bright eyes are dark and clear, as if he can speak, the most rare thing is that kind of dignified and well-behaved Temperament, when she smiles, her pink cheeks and pear dimples are shallow, which makes people's heart skip a beat.

Gao Junxian and Gao Qingyuan were so dazed, even brothers Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng blushed and kept their eyes on it, almost drooling.

As the saying goes, a gentle lady is like a gentleman, everyone has a love for beauty, and Gao Bufan is no exception, so at this time, she also looked at her eldest grandson Wugou with admiration, but that's all, after all, her eldest grandson is beautiful At the age of eleven or twelve, he is not yet so beastly as to hit other little Lolita.

Gao Bufan turned his head and glanced at the exaggerated expressions of Gao Qingyuan and the others, and couldn't help but secretly amused. If historical trends were followed, Changsun Wugou, a juicy cabbage, would only be taken away by Li Ergong in the end, and the others would be useless. Let's wash up and sleep!
Changsun Wuji was proud and a little annoyed when he saw the expressions of Gao Bufan and the others, but when he found that Gao Bufan had a smile on his lips and didn't stare at his sister like everyone else, he couldn't help asking in a low voice. Said: "Brother Changqing, what are you laughing at?"

"Did I... laugh?" Gao Bufan asked back.

"Laughing!" Changsun Wuji frowned.

Gao Bufan teased: "Oh, Lingmei's complexion is so good today, she probably drank that soft-shelled turtle soup, brother auxiliary machine, you didn't drink it secretly, did you?"

Changsun Wuji blushed when he heard the words, and resentfully said: "I didn't drink, lest I be called little fat man again!"

"What turtle soup? It turns out that Brother Changqing has seen Miss Wugou before?" Gao Junxian asked curiously.

Gao Qingyuan couldn't help but look sideways, with a hint of vigilance in his puzzled eyes, Ganqing already regarded Gao Bufan as a competitor at this moment.

Gao Bufan couldn't help sweating, originally he was just teasing Wuji's little normality, but he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of these two, so he said with a smile: "I happened to meet the auxiliary machine brother on the street yesterday to buy a turtle, and he said he wanted to make soup Make up for my sister."

Gao Junxian said "oh" and stopped talking, but Gao Qingyuan frowned and said: "No, just now Changqing said that Miss Wugou looks good today, and the implication is that her complexion was not good in the past, so brother Changqing must have seen Miss Wugou before. .”

Gao Bufan didn't like this arrogant clan brother at first, now he was even more upset when he saw him asking questions aggressively, so he nodded and said: "That's right, I not only met Miss Wugou the day before yesterday, but also had a good conversation with her. .”

Gao Qingyuan's face darkened, he turned his head and ignored Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan is both angry and funny, it seems that the Gao clan has indeed declined, and this kind of self-restraint can be regarded as a rising star?Even before the ten paintings have been written off, have you taken the family's patriarch Sun Meimei into your pocket?If he knew that he not only chatted with grandson Wugou, but also touched her waist and buttocks, wouldn't this guy go crazy with jealousy?
"Father, Uncle!" At this moment, Changsun Wugou had already come to salute Changsun Sheng and Gao Shilian, his posture was dignified and elegant, and his voice was as clear and melodious as an oriole coming out of a valley.

Changsun Sheng nodded and said with a smile, "Wugou, these are all relatives of your uncle's family, don't lose your etiquette."

The eldest grandson Wugou hastily bowed down to Gao Shihong and the others, "Wugou greets all the relatives and uncles of the clan."

All the relatives of the Gao family returned the gift one after another, and the words of praise were overwhelming!

The atmosphere in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was relatively open, unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when women did not go out of the door, they could only stay at home and thread needles all day, hurting the spring and the autumn.During the Sui and Tang dynasties, female family members could not only go out to dinner, but also lead troops to fight. For example, Li Yuan’s third daughter, Princess Pingyang, led an army that made great contributions to Li Tang’s country, and was buried with military ceremonies after her death.

"Xia Qingyuan, after King Zhaojun of the Northern Qi Dynasty, met Miss Wugou!" Gao Qingyuan took a step forward and introduced himself.

The eldest grandson Wugou gave a polite blessing, but he lowered his eyebrows from the beginning to the end, which disappointed Gao Gaoyuan who thought he was handsome, and reluctantly withdrew.

"Gao Junxian, I have met Miss Wugou!" Gao Junxian took a step forward and bowed politely
The eldest grandson Wugou returned the gift politely, but this time he looked up at Gao Junxian.Seeing this, Gao Qingyuan couldn't help but feel annoyed inwardly, it seems that he acted too urgently just now, instead he seemed frivolous, no wonder Miss Wugou refused to look up at me.

At this moment, brothers Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng also stepped forward to greet them. These two boys probably knew that they were not as good as the first two, so they didn't mean to compete for performance.

"Girl Wugou!" Gao Bufan was the last to step forward, smiling and cupping his hands, without introducing himself.

The eldest grandson Wugou had seen Gao Bufan a long time ago, and he smiled happily, revealing two shallow pear holes, and said, "Master Gao, do we meet again by chance?"

Gao Bufan laughed and said, "Yes, it seems that we have ape dung!"

"Fate? This is the word of the Buddhist school. Does Mr. Gao believe in Buddhism?" The eldest grandson Wugou's bright eyes flashed.

"My mother...cough, my mother believes in Buddhism, so does the eldest grandson also believe in it?" Gao Bufan asked before realizing that it was unnecessary. The eldest grandson Wugou's baby name is Guanyin Maid, can he not believe in Buddhism?

Seeing Gao Bufan and the eldest grandson Wugou talking and laughing, the expressions of the members of the Gao family were all different, and the little boy turned into a little black face.
