On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 17
There are three major gentry clans in Hedong, namely Wenxi Pei clan, Jiexian Liu clan and Fenyin Xue clan.

The prosperity of the figures of the three clans, the prestige of the prefecture, is the highest in the local area, and the Wenxi Pei family is the most important.

It is worth noting that the geographical concept of Hedong at this time did not include Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places. It was not until the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty that Tang Taizong divided the world into ten roads that the Hedong Road included the entire Shanxi in later generations.

Of course, the real glory of the three tribes in Hedong will wait for Li Yuan to raise troops in Taiyuan, take Hedong as the foundation, enter Guanzhong, and swallow the whole country.

Now in terms of fame, it is still a lot worse than the five surnames and seven clans.

The so-called five surnames and seven families, namely Qinghe Cui family, Taiyuan Wang family, Fanyang Lu family, and Xingyang Zheng family are the four surnames of the Han people appointed by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. There are also five surnames. The rise of the Boling Cui family and the Zhaojun Li family.

You can tell by looking at the geography that the Longxi Li family in Kansai played an important role in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties, while the Boling Cui family and Zhaojun Li family in Hebei were the Yuancong families when Gao Huanxin was in Jianyi.

In the chaotic times of the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they each bet on the right treasure, and were able to quickly stand side by side with the other four families in prestige during the stalemate between the East and the West, and became the top gentry families in the world.

Even if the Northern Qi Dynasty was merged by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the gentry in Hebei still had no worries.

Taking the Cui family of Boling as an example, not only Cui Xuanyou held a high position in Kansai, but also Cui Qian, the general and governor of Jizhou, who had served as the governor of Anjing and Jingzhou, and became the Duke of Wukang County. He died of illness two years ago, was given the surname Yuwen, changed his name to Shuo, and was given as a posthumous gift to Cui Cong, the general and governor of Fuzhou.

Although the two died, their children still survived, and they still maintained the influence of the Boling Cui family in the court.

For the Boling Cui family, the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty was nothing more than the transition of the leadership of the clan from the third house to the second house.

Cui Che and Feng Deyi left Yecheng and embarked on a long westward journey, stopping and stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains. They set off on April [-]th, and did not cross Sushui until noon on May [-]th. Wenxi County.

Pei Xiu received a report last night from a servant Cui Che sent ahead of time, and she was waiting at the city gate early this morning.

The midsummer noon sun was very poisonous, although Pei Xiu hid in the city gate to enjoy the cool, her eyes were always looking out of the city.

At this time, seeing the carriage with the Boling Cui family and the Bohai Feng family slowly approaching, the 12-year-old boy cheered and ran towards the convoy, still shouting:

"Ache! Ache!"

The servants of the Pei family behind him couldn't keep up with him.

Cui Che in the carriage heard Pei Xiu's familiar voice, opened the curtain and saw Pei Xiu running towards him.

"Stop now."

Cui Che urged the driver.

As soon as the carriage came to a complete stop, the driver put down the step stool, Cui Che couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, and embraced Pei Xiu tightly with his short legs.

The two have been dependent on each other since they were young, and their relationship is the most intimate.

"Quick! Take me to see my aunt."

After two months of separation, Cui Che really missed his eldest aunt Cui Zhaorong very much.

"Don't be impatient."

Pei Xiu smiled slightly, and saluted Feng Deyi who got off the carriage. Although Feng Deyi was three years older, he still had to be called cousin according to his seniority.

"The three of you and I study together, and we are of the same age, so we don't need to be commensurate with each other by seniority."

Although Feng Deyi is only nine years old, he is quite tactful in his dealings with others. It is no wonder that he was able to attach himself to Yang Su, Yu Shiji, Yu Wenhuaji, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After death, he can also win a beautiful posthumous posthumous title.

After the three had a brief exchange outside the city gate, they returned to the carriage. Pei Xiu came out of the city to greet him naturally by car, but he chose to ride with Cui Che.

Coincidentally, after being separated for a long time, Cui Che and Pei Xiu also had a lot to talk about, so they asked Miaorong to get out of the car and accompany them. Anyway, they were about to enter the city, and they couldn't walk a few steps.

Listening to the laughter coming from the carriage, Miao Rong pursed her lips all the way. With Pei Xiu as his companion, Mr. Xiao Lang really became an insignificant outsider.

In her mind, she thought back to the old lady's secret advice to herself, asking her to keep a close eye on Cui Che and Pei Xiu, and not to let the two have more feelings than they should have besides the friendship of cousins.

It's not that Mrs. Feng is careless, Long Yang has been good since ancient times.

Especially the emperors in the middle and early Western Han Dynasty were all masters of men and women.

For example, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and Ji Ru, Emperor Hui Liu Ying and Hong Ru, Emperor Wen Liu Heng and Zhao Tong, Bei Gong Bozi and Deng Tong, Emperor Jing Liu Qi and Zhou Wenren, Emperor Wu Liu Che and Han Yan, Li Yannian and so on.

This is also the origin of the stinky man in the term "dirty Tang stinky man" in No. 60 of "Dream of Red Mansions".

There are so many wise kings and heroes who set an example and carried forward the style of pampering men. In the lewd Southern and Northern Dynasties, the habit of breaking sleeves became a common hobby of the children of the gentry.

After all, no matter the virtuous or the foolish, one can become an official by virtue of one's family background, and this person should not try something new when he is free.

Of course, Miao Rong and Mrs. Feng's worries were purely superfluous.

That's right, compared to normal men, Pei Xiu is indeed lacking in weight.

The two are also discussing staying together overnight in the carriage at this time, but there is really no so-called abnormal love between them.

When the carriage came to Pei's mansion, Cui Che and Feng Deyi followed Pei Xiu to visit with the presents they had prepared, while Zhang Wu, Zhao Wen and others went to the yard that Cui Zhaorong had prepared for their nephew and cousin. Unload the luggage.

Walking into the main hall, resisting the excitement of seeing her aunt again, followed Feng Deyi to salute Pei Xiu's grandmother respectfully, and presented their respective gifts.

Old Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Feng were originally in-laws, and they were confiscated into officials as servants together. The relationship between the two is very good, and knowing that Cui Che and Pei Xiu are close, they naturally love each other.

She called Cui Che to talk to her, and then she left Cui Zhaorong to greet the guests for her on the grounds that she was mentally ill, and went back to the backyard by herself.

"Aunt, are you going to Chang'an with us this time?"

After Mrs. Pei left, Cui Che couldn't wait to ask.

Cui Zhaorong stroked Cui Che's little head, shook his head and said:

"I still have to stay in Wenxi to serve the old lady, so naturally I can't go with you."

In fact, Cui Che already had the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

When he was sick, Pei Xiu had to go out to herd herds, so when Cui Che came to this world, when he opened his eyes, he saw Cui Zhaorong who took care of him hard and boiled potion for him.

The two are called aunts and nephews, but regardless of the original owner or Brother Che, they both have the same mother and son as Cui Zhaorong.

That night, Feng Deyi went to rest in his yard early, while Miao Rong waited until late at night, but still did not see Cui Che coming back, until Zhao Wen, who was inquiring about the news, came back and reported that his young master would not be coming back tonight, and he was going to be with Young Master Pei. Same night.

Cui Che and Brother Pei Xiu had been separated for more than two months, and they had been holding back their words, apparently they hadn't talked enough in the carriage.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket.
