On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 16
On that day, the Wang family father and son did not go back to work in the fields, but killed chickens and geese in the backyard, slaughtered all the domestic animals, and prepared for Miao Rong to take them back to the county tomorrow.

Just as Cui Che thought, they couldn't come up with an equally valuable thank you gift, so they could only do their best to express their hearts.

The Queen Mother was pulling Miaorong to talk in the room. Hearing that Cui Che deliberately made a detour to let her visit relatives, the Queen Mother was even more happy, but she did not forget to warn her daughter not to be arrogant In the future, if the first wife enters the door, if she is a shrew or a jealous woman, she must be more careful in serving her.

Miao Rong nodded repeatedly when she heard that, at night, mother and daughter slept on the same couch and talked thoughtfully all night.

At the beginning, Miao Rong described her life in Cui Mansion in detail, but as she talked, the topic all turned to Cui Che, saying that he peeled oranges for himself to eat; When he found out, he fell into his arms and wept bitterly; he also did not forget to mention that Cui Che sang poems and chanted geese at the Jinchun Wenhui.

It wasn't until late at night, when he was drowsy, that he stopped.

In the early morning of the next day, Father Wang asked the villagers to borrow a cart to carry the cleaned livestock.

The Queen Mother said last night that she would send the Wang Father off alone, but when it came time to leave, she still followed her, leaving only Wang Jin to watch the house.

Miaorong said goodbye to her elder brother, and went to the county town with her parents with mixed emotions of reluctance and expectation.

Seeing the carriage parked outside the inn, Miao Rong let out a long sigh of relief, and secretly said:
'Xiao Langjun is really waiting for me. '

Gathering is always short, parting is always too fast.

Cui Che learned that the king's father and queen mother brought a cart full of meat as a gift in return, and was about to go out to thank her, but saw the scene of Miaorong's family of three embracing each other and crying.

He stopped at the door and waited for a while, until the three of them sorted out their emotions before walking out of the inn to thank them.

After waving goodbye to her parents, Miao Rong's tears flowed down again.

Cui Che wiped away tears for her, and comforted her:

"Don't cry anymore, there will be a chance to see you again in the future."

"Really?"

Miao Rong choked up and said.

"When have I ever lied to you? Let's go. You're all crying. Go back to the inn and clean up. We're leaving soon."

Cui Che and his party left Zhongqiu County and continued to take the official road to Yecheng. Although they took a detour, they didn't waste too much time.

With Zhang Wu leading twenty guards and driving a carriage with the logo of the Cui family of Boling, the journey was safe.

On April [-]th, when the carriage drove into Yecheng, the scene of flourishing incense was no longer seen. The [-] temples and [-] monks and nuns were all a thing of the past.

Two days before the date agreed with the Feng family, Cui Che returned to the Yecheng mansion, and reported to the Feng family, agreeing to meet at the Zimo Bridge on the [-]th.

The meat presented by Miao Rong's family was already on the way, and Cui Che shared the food with the accompanying people. It is now the beginning of summer, so it won't last long.

Cui Che, Miaorong, Zhao Wendang and other companions visited Yecheng for two days. He knew that this trip to the west would mean that he would never see this thousand-year-old city that gathered the essence of Hebei again.

On April [-]th, in the early morning, the Cui Mansion's convoy drove towards the north of the city, no more, no less, and arrived at Zimo Bridge just in time, and the six Feng family brothers were already waiting in front of the bridge.

Cui Che got off the carriage and greeted the six uncles, and saw behind them an elegant-looking old man who was somewhat similar to the brothers of the Feng family. Without Feng Deyi's introduction, Cui Che bowed and saluted:
"Che'er pays respects to uncle."

This person is exactly Mrs. Feng's half-brother, Feng Zixiu.

Feng Zixiu was captured by Nan Chen before, and the Northern Qi was destroyed, and fled back to Hebei, where he was reunited with his father and son.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Feng Zixiu took a look at Cui Che and was very satisfied with his demeanor, then turned his head and told Feng Lun beside him:
"De Yi, Che'er is young and is your uncle's only bloodline. You need to take good care of me during this study tour."

It turned out that Feng Zixiu had fled back to Hebei, and when he heard that Feng Lun planned to go to Guanzhong to study, he gave him a watch letter in advance to make it easier to make friends.

Feng Deyi naturally agreed.

After sending off his father, five elder brothers and cousins, Feng Deyi talked to Cui Che about the new westbound route.

According to their previous plan, they would take the Taihang Mountain Road, first go to Bingzhou to visit their relatives, and then go to Hedong to meet Pei Xiu.

It’s just that some time ago, news came suddenly that at the end of February, Gao Shaoyi, the clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, raised troops to recover. More than 280 cities in the north of Sizhou, which is adjacent to Bingzhou, responded. When it was a time of chaos, it was better to wait for the situation in Bingzhou to stabilize before visiting relatives.

The relative who was originally planned to visit was Cui Che's sister-in-law, the second daughter of Mrs. Feng.

My uncle, Li Yuanjian, was born in the Li family of Longxi. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, the official worshiped Bingzhou Tian Cao and joined the army. After Zhou Shi entered Jinyang, Li Yuanjian continued to work in the Bingzhou General Manager's Office.

Feng Deyi originally planned to detour to Bingzhou, and he also had the idea of ​​deceiving Cui Che's cousins ​​to go to Chang'an for a study tour.

Now Bingzhou must not be able to go, so instead of taking the Taihang Mountain Road, he went upstream along the Yellow River and went straight to Wenxi County to find Peixiu.

The two discussed it properly, each got into the carriage, and the two motorcades joined together, crossed the Zimo Bridge and headed southwest.

Passing by Han Ling, Cui Che opened the curtains, wishing to pay tribute to the ancient battlefield, and saw Gao Huan ordered Wen Zisheng to write "Han Ling Pieces" in order to show his merits, but finally sat in the car, shaking his head and laughing.

Both the Gao family and the Yuwen family are just the emperors of the flowing water, while the gentry are the iron masters.

It's just that this hard-working master will also welcome his pockmarked son.

The development of papermaking and printing undoubtedly broke the gentry's monopoly on knowledge, and the imperial examination system that sprouted in the Northern and Southern Dynasties was destined to abolish the gentry's monopoly on official positions.

In a short time, the family of scholars will no longer be the only choice for the ruler to govern the country, and the children of poor families will gain more voice.

After only a short distraction, Cui Che put these thoughts behind him. With the development of papermaking and printing, and the promotion of education, it is a historical inevitability that the politics of the aristocracy will be broken by the poor.

No matter the virtuous or foolish, the gentry can become officials, but the talented people from poor families have nowhere to serve the country. It is outrageous that such a phenomenon can exist for more than [-] years.

After all, in the last life, he was just a member of the common people and hated class barriers to the core.

As the carriage traveled westward, during the time that Cui Che and Feng Deyi were traveling together, their relationship became more and more acquainted, and his impression of this little cousin was no longer limited to the image in the history books.

In the history books, Feng Deyi is Yang Su's most trusted staff member, so he even recruited him as his son-in-law; He was able to deceive Erfeng and was not discovered by Li Shimin until 17 years after his death.
