On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 134 The Gao Family Father and Son
Gao Mai can also be regarded as revisiting the old place.

As the clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the son of Qinghe County King Gaoyue, Gao Mai became a noble at the age of seven, and was released at the age of 14. He worshiped the governor of Qingzhou and sat in Qingzhou for many years before he entered the court as an official.

After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Mai became an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Yang Jian took power, he successively served as governor of Yang and Chu states. Now he is temporarily transferred from Chu state to Guangzhou to replace Yu Wenkai, who was implicated in his elder brother's treason.

"The boy thought that father should not detour to Dongyang."

The carriage bumped, and in the carriage, 11-year-old Gao Shilian suddenly spoke.

Gao Mai, who had closed his eyes and rested his mind, opened them. His gaze was like a torch, and he said in a deep voice:

"Why do you say that?"

Gao Shilian was not afraid of his father's majesty, he explained:
"Cui Che and King Jin are friends, and the relationship is irreversible. The battle for the heir apparent is too dangerous, and my family is the former Qi clan, so we should be more cautious and not get close to him."

There was a hint of praise in Gao Mai's eyes, it was not easy for an 11-year-old boy to see this layer.

Not everyone can be like Cui Che, who sold Yuchi Jiong for a good price when he was only eleven years old, and has been on the rise ever since.

"Seizing the heir apparent is dangerous, but the harm is far-reaching. Taking a detour to Dongyang and paying homage to Cui Che is not the same as falling into it. But if Cui Che is offended, disaster is imminent."

Gao Mai shook his head.

Previously, Yang Jian's old friend Wang Yi was framed and even put to death in the house without being verified. This incident not only shocked Cui Che, but also Gao Mai.

He couldn't help worrying that if he offended Cui Che, his wife, Princess Leping, Yang Lihua, would return to Daxing City one day and slander Yang Jian, such as disrespecting the princess, harboring resentment, wanting to restore the country, and so on. What will happen again.

Maybe even a chance to defend himself before the emperor.

Gao Shilian persuaded his father to be cautious. In fact, going to Dongyang City to pay homage to Cui Che was the greatest caution.

On the thirteenth day of October in the sixth year of Emperor Kaihuang (586), at the beginning of winter, Gao Mai's carriage drove into Dongyang City to pay homage to the governor's mansion, and was warmly received by Cui Che, the governor of Qingzhou.

Under Gao Mai's intentional pandering, Cui Che and him talked more and more speculatively, and felt like they hated seeing each other later.

That night, Cui Che held a banquet in the mansion and invited Gao Mai and his family to attend. At the same time, he also introduced his wife and children to Gao Mai, making the whole family happy.

During the banquet, Cui Che hugged the Bodhisattva slave, and occasionally glanced at Gao Mai's daughter.

This is my son's future mother-in-law.

The daughter of the Gao family never imagined that she was only four years old, and someone was thinking about letting her son be her son-in-law.

As for her future son-in-law, sitting in his father's arms at this moment, watching Cui Che eat wine and meat, tears flowed down his mouth.

The Bodhisattva slave opened his small hand and wanted to reach for a piece, but his small hand was short, so he couldn't reach it no matter what.

Cui Che, the father, didn't even think about feeding his son a piece of meat, so he just let the Bodhisattva slave's eyes be greedy and let out a hush.

After drinking for three rounds, Cui Che brought the topic to Gao Shilian:

"I wonder if your son went to school?"

Gao Mai said modestly:
"I read some classics on literature and history."

So Cui Che wanted to test Gao Shilian's knowledge, Gao Mai naturally wouldn't refuse, but the questions Cui Che asked were not difficult, after all he didn't intend to make things difficult for the other party.

Gao Shilian answered one by one fluently, Cui Che was greatly impressed, and proposed to Gao Mai:

"Your son is intelligent by nature and quite insightful in classics and history. Given time, he can be regarded as a great weapon. When he gets older, he might as well come to serve in Cui's shogunate. What do you think, Mr. Gao?"

The 17-year-old Cui Che was sitting in the main seat. He had been the general manager of Qingzhou for nearly three years, and he no longer looked immature in every gesture.

Gao Mai laughed and said:
"It's his blessing that the dog is valued by Cui Gong."

Gao Shilian also bowed and said:
"How dare Gao Jian refuse to be recruited by Duke Cui?"

According to Gao Shilian's original intention, he actually didn't want to get too close to Cui Che, but they all talked about it, if he refused, he would definitely offend Cui Che severely.

Besides, it's not like forcing him to serve the shogunate right now, who knows what will happen after a few years, maybe Cui Che has forgotten what he said today.

From Gao Mai, Gao Shilian's father and son's point of view, Cui Che's actions today are to show affection to Gao Mai.

But Brother Che's real purpose is still on the Gao Shilian brothers and sisters.

After seeing off Gao Mai's family and returning to the bedroom, Yang Lihua regretted:
"That Gao Jian (Gao Shilian) has good looks and knowledge, and is also the same age as Eying, but his family background is a bit poor."

Yuwen Eying is growing up day by day, and now she is 11 years old. In future generations, of course she is still in primary school at this age, but in this era, it is the age at which she can get engaged and get married.

Cui Che said with emotion:
"When choosing a son-in-law for E Ying, appearance, knowledge, and family background are important, but one must also observe his character. Marriage is a lifelong event, so there is no need to rush it. If it is entrusted to someone else, it will be a waste of her life."

In the early years, in order to take advantage of Yang Lihua's influence, he even proposed Yuwen Eying's idea, but he never imagined that now he was discussing Yuwen Eying's marriage with Yang Lihua.

The Bodhisattva slave has been carried away by the wet nurse, and there are no outsiders around, Yang Lihua joked:
"You can't find a gentleman who is modest, lest you meet others like me and be despised by you."

Cui Che thought about it seriously, and it seemed that this period of time was really too much, so he removed Yu Wenyun's spirit seat from the house, and planned to take it to Yuchi Chifan's house tomorrow. .

Yang Lihua changed Cui Che's pajamas, the couple went to bed, and Cui Che was about to make a move, Yang Lihua suddenly suggested:
"When my husband returns to Daxing to report on his duties, why don't you ask Father to gather your sons and daughters for Eying, and let you and I carefully select them."

Cui Che suddenly lost interest, he was bored now.

He is about to step down from the position of the general manager of Qingzhou, but he doesn't know where he will be sent next. If he continues to be released as the general manager of a local area, he will naturally be satisfied, but he is afraid that he will be recruited into the court and become a Beijing official.

"Husband, is there something on your mind?"

After all, Yang Lihua has also noticed Cui Che's strangeness, whether it is the person who shares the same bed.

Cui Che did not hide from her:

"I have been out of the town for three years, and I am used to living a comfortable and easy life. When I think of being conscripted into the court, I will have to deal with people in the temple, and I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath."

Yang Lihua laughed and said:

"What's the difficulty? If the father wants to keep my husband in Beijing, the concubine will go to find him and ask for release."

"But how do you speak in front of the saint?"

Cui Che asked.

Yang Lihua didn't care about this, she said casually:

"Let's just say that I'm tired of living in Guanzhong and want to look around."

Cui Che thought to himself, this is indeed an excuse.

Seeing that Cui Che relaxed his mind, Yang Lihua asked about Yuwen Eying's marriage again.

Cui Che pondered and said:
"In my opinion, it's better to keep Eying in the mansion for a few more years."
