Chapter 130
Cui Che half-pushed, and spent the month after Yang Lihua gave birth, lingering in the bedroom of the three daughters Miaorong, Yuchi Chifan, and Mu Xieli.

"The governor of Yuwen will return after the next year"

"How did you know I had a son!"

Pei Xiu was silent for a while.

"The fighting skills of the soldiers of the first battalion are becoming more and more proficient, and I must pass it again"

"You also know that I have a son!"

Qin Qiong was silent.

At the end of the year, the cronies who have been released from all over the world return to Dongyang City to report their duties. Cui Che always wants to show them that he is a father.

The first four years of Kaihuang passed in a dull state. When Yang Lihua gave birth to a son, Yang Jian, Yang Yong, and Yang Guang's father and son each expressed their opinions. Even Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, and Yang Liang also sent congratulatory gifts, not to mention Those who are close friends with Cui Che, as well as the princesses and sons-in-law.

In the first month of the fifth year of Emperor Kaihuang (585), the seven-day long holiday on the first day passed. The salt workers and soldiers bid farewell to their families and gathered again. Cui Che said goodbye to his wife and children and went to Tantian to realize his idea of ​​eating both fish and fish. .

The news of Cui Che's birth had already spread, and when he came to Tantian early in the morning, the salt workers and salt soldiers congratulated him one after another. The smile on Cui Che's face became wider until he saw the breakfast delivered .

Cui Che was furious, and in front of the salt workers and soldiers, he complained to the officials in charge of food delivery:

"Due to family matters, I haven't been able to visit in person for half a year. I never thought that you and other officials would be so bold and dare to skip meals. Could it be that I, Cui Che, dare not kill people!"

The few petty officials who were in charge of providing meals were so frightened that the two groups fought, and the leader knelt down in horror and said:
"My lord, I am wronged. How dare we wait for it to be greedy for ink? If your lord doesn't believe it, you can search the official's house."

Dong Jing, who accompanied Cui Che on inspection, explained:

"Duke Ming, this man is telling the truth. The sage has granted Duke Ming's request to exempt the common people from taxation. There is no tax and food in the warehouse, and the treasury of the Qingzhou government is empty, so the food supply has to be reduced."

Cui Che was still not calm, he said angrily:

"If there is such a thing, why don't you report it as soon as possible!"

Dong Jing said helplessly:
"The princess is about to give birth, and Duke Ming tried his best to take care of her. She couldn't take off her clothes all day long, and she was getting more and more haggard. We are worried about Duke Ming's health, so how dare we let Duke Ming distract us?"

Hearing this, Cui Che sighed with everyone:
"It's all Cui's fault! Cui is worried about a child, but he doesn't care about his lack of food. This Bodhisattva slave, what benefit do I get!"

Even the Bodhisattva slave is full moon and cannot be separated from his mother. If it is in Cui Che's hands, he will perform a show of throwing his son on the spot.

Salt soldiers and performers all offered words of comfort.

Cui Che asked Li Qing about the property of his family in public.

Li Qing counted last year Cui Che's own expenses to support the salt workers and salt soldiers, everyone was moved, and finally said:
"Excluding the princess's dowry, only Boling's ancestral property remains."

"I, Cui Che, is a dignified husband, how can I embezzle my wife's dowry! Sell your ancestral property as soon as possible, no matter what, you can't let them go hungry again."

As he said that, Cui Che looked at the salt workers and soldiers, and his eyes were full of tears.

Salt soldiers and salt workers cried and stopped:
"Cui Gong can't do it!"

"How can I let Mr. Cui spend money again!"

There was a lot of enthusiasm.

"Everyone! Just listen to me!"

Cui Che shouted, and the audience fell silent.

"It was you who worked hard for a year and enriched the national treasury with salt profits, but it was Cui who was praised by the saints.

"You work hard all day, how can I, Cui Che, sit and watch you suffer from hunger and hunger!

"Sell your ancestral property today, but you will be reprimanded by your ancestors a hundred years later.

"If I turn a blind eye to it, I will feel guilty, and I will have trouble sleeping and eating. I hope you will make it happen!"

After Cui Che finished speaking, there was a burst of sobbing at the scene, but they didn't know that Cui Che didn't need to sell his ancestral property at all, and with the dividends sent by Wei Yi, he could fill the vacancy of two meals in the morning and evening.

Previously, Pei Xiu had mentioned to Cui Che when she returned to Dongyang to visit relatives during the vacation that Yu Wenkai, who presided over the opening of the canal, would return to Gwangju soon, and he had to fill in the vacancy before he came back, lest the other party notice something strange.

There is no need for Cui Che to go and perform in the salt farms one by one, someone will spread the news of today in the salt farms of various states.

Cui Che took off his official uniform again, and went to the fields with the salt workers, working together at the same time, without any airs of superiors.

For a year, whenever he inspected Tantian, he always acted like this.

Dong Jing, who had witnessed all this, said inwardly: "Duke Ming supports the people and loves the people, so why worry about everyone not doing their best."

I patrolled around the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea. During this period, I occasionally dealt with unjust civil lawsuits and upheld justice. When I returned to Dongyang City, it was already the end of March in the fifth year of Kaihuang (585).

Due to the famine in Guanzhong, Yang Jian and the court officials who went to Luoyang for food have finally returned to Chang'an, but Yang Jian's childhood classmate, the father of Lanling Princess Yang Awu's late husband, Wang Yi, who had quelled the Sima Xiaonan Rebellion, died. In Luoyang.

At the beginning, Yang Awu kept filial piety for her late husband for one year, Wang Yi pitied her for being a widow when she was young, and asked Yang Awu to get rid of her filial piety and remarry, but unexpectedly she was flattered on the horse's leg, and after being severely reprimanded by Yang Jian, she gradually became estranged.

At the beginning of March, someone reported that Wang Yi claimed to have the appearance of an emperor. Yang Jian had Wang Yi died in Luoyang without verification.

Cui Che was terrified by Wang Yi's end, and he became more submissive on the surface, but he was also stepping up to develop his power secretly.

It's not that Brother Che is born rebellious, it's just that he is a servant of the Yang family and really lacks a sense of security.

Even if Yang Jian is like this, let alone Yang Guang, if someone really says that the Cui family should be happy, A Guang will be the first to take aim at him.

Could it be possible to expect Yang Guang to remember his old friendship and let him go.

When Cui Che returned to Dongyang, the Bodhisattva Slave's facial features had already taken shape and hair had grown.

Seeing that the Bodhisattva slave looked so much like his own pair of peach blossom eyes, Cui Che liked it more and more, hugged his son and lowered his head, constantly making funny faces to tease him.

But the Bodhisattva slave burst into tears.

"I must be hungry, give it to me!"

Yang Lihua took her son back from Cui Che's arms and breastfed him.

While coaxing the child, she said to Cui Che:

"A few days ago, my father sent someone over and asked me to find time to take the Bodhisattva slave back to Guanzhong. He and the queen mother want to see their grandson."

Cui Che asked:

"When are you going to leave?"

Yang Jian and his wife missed their daughter and wanted to see their grandson, so could he still refuse?

"In a few days, my husband has been away from home for three months, and I want to spend more time with you."

Hearing this, Cui Che leaned closer to Yang Lihua and whispered a few words to her, then saw Yang Lihua's face turned red and complained:

"My husband knows how to belittle concubines."

"The joys of the boudoir."

Cui Che laughed.

The two couples laughed for a while before Yang Lihua pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"Father is currently negotiating marriage for the fifth younger sister. It is said that he intends to match her with the younger brother of Princess Jin."
