On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 247
"Duke Ming, just now someone from outside the mansion came to report that Duke Yan has already entered the city."

In Yecheng, in Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, a staff member reminded.

Xiangzhou Inspector Zhang Wei snorted coldly when he heard the words:

"So what, the old man has to go out to pay respects!"

The staff quickly pleaded guilty.

Don't look at Zhang Wei is just a Xiangzhou governor now, but before that, he was very prosperous.

Before Yang Jian came to power, he relied on his military merits to reach Zhuguo and Jingzhaoyin.

After the death of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, Yang Jian came to power, and the three-party governor's rebellion broke out. Zhang Wei followed Liang Rui to destroy Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, and made great military exploits.

He successively served as the general manager of Luzhou, Youzhou, Luozhou and Qingzhou.

That's right, after Cui Che left Qingzhou, it was Zhang Wei who took over.

Zhang Wei's dissatisfaction with Cui Che stemmed from this. He felt that his predecessor indulged the people of Qingzhou too much.

I just sent my slaves to buy some properties in Qingzhou, stock up and sell them, but the group of mud legs actually said that he harassed the people and made a fuss.

Those salt workers and salt soldiers also said that they had withheld food and wages.

The matter became serious, and the court pursued it. Zhang Wei was dismissed from his official position. After finally recovering, he changed from a majestic general manager to a governor of a state.

Cui Che didn't care whether Zhang Wei was willing to get close to him, and he didn't plan to stay in Xiangzhou for a long time.

The next day, after Cui Che drank the gruel, he took people out of the city to the bank of Zhangshui.

"That's it, open the grave."

Cui Che pointed to Cui Jishu's grave and ordered.

The servants dug up the earth and let Cui Jishu's coffin be seen again.

Fortunately, this tomb was not superficial, nor was it sprinkled with lime, so Cui Che didn't need to worry that Cui Jishu would turn into a zombie to bite him.

The servants chanted and finally carried Cui Jishu's coffin up.

Cui Che didn't open the coffin for an autopsy. It's been 20 years since he passed away, so he probably became a pile of bones long ago.

"Grandfather, today my grandson will transport the coffins of you and your grandmother back to Anping, and bury the two elders in their hometown."

Cui Che muttered something.

On the same day, Cui Che and his party took two sets of coffins and set off for Dingzhou.

I think Cui Jishu was wrongly killed and his body was abandoned in Zhangshui. At any rate, his family collected his body and buried him by the bank of Zhangshui.

But Cui Che's father, Cui Changjun, uncle Cui Jingxuan, and a group of elder brothers were all executed because they followed Nan'an King Gao Sihao to plot rebellion.

Three thousand cavalrymen, dressed in linen and filial piety, had already waited in Anping County with their horses.

Zhang Wu went to Youzhou to serve as a town general, and now the former lieutenant general, who is also the son of the Cui family, is in charge of the cavalry.

The Boling cavalrymen, all of whom were missing, surrounded Cui Che and returned to the manor outside the city in Anping County.

The coffins of the grandparents were left outside the manor for several days. Not only did people from the same clan come, but even the Feng family of Bohai and Cui Che's mother family, the Li family of Zhaojun, also came to express their condolences.

Among them was Cui Che's adoptive son, Pei Le, who had been away for six years.

After Feng's death, Cui Zhaorong sent someone to Jiaozhou to inform Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu really had no time to leave, so she paid homage to her grandmother in Jiaozhou, and sent her heir Pei Le to Hebei.

As soon as Pei Le entered the door, he kowtowed three times in front of Feng's coffin, and then greeted Cui Zhaorong and Cui Che:
"The child pays homage to the grandmother, and the adoptive father."

Cui Zhaorong hugged Pei Le in his arms and kept saying:

"Good grandson! Good grandson!"

Cui Zhaorong and her grandson hadn't seen each other for three years, and she thought she had shed all tears after her mother died.

Now that I am reunited with my grandson, the tears still cannot stop falling down.

Pei Le is an orphan adopted by Cui Zhaorong from the clan for Pei Xiu. Although he is not related by blood, he has been raised for 11 years, and the love between grandparents and grandchildren cannot be faked.

Cui Che looked Pei Le up and down. When he married his wife, the little one who clamored to sleep with his adoptive father, now looks like a teenager.

After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me that Pei Le is 12 years old now.

On the sixth day of February in the 12th year of Emperor Kaihuang (AD 592), Cui Che buried Cui Jishu and Feng Shi together outside the manor, accompanied by the tombs of Cui Changjun and others, and the tomb of Cui Che's biological mother, Li Shi.

On the same day, in addition to the presence of the magistrate of Anping County, even Dou Kang, the governor of Dingzhou, came from Xianyu County (now Dingzhou, Hebei) to express his condolences to Cui Che.

The state capital of Dingzhou did not move, but was renamed Xianyu from Lu Nu.

Cui Che and Dou Kang were related, so it was logical for Dou Kang to come to worship his grandmother.

Although Dou Kang is Mrs. Li's elder brother of the Dou family, Cui Che's relationship with him has nothing to do with the daughter of the Dou family, at least for now.

His mother is Yang Jian's sister, Princess Wan'an. In other words, Yang Jian is Dou Kang's uncle, and Dou Kang is Cui Che's wife Yang Lihua's cousin.

Due to emotion and reason, Dou Kang had to come to Anping County.

Seeing Cui Che's dirty appearance now, Dou Kang couldn't help thinking of himself six years ago.

At that time, his father, Dou Rongding, passed away, and Dou Kang was in a state of inextricability for more than 50 years.

In Zhan Fai's Clothes, there is also a rule to stop bathing for three months, that is, not to take a bath for three months.

It has been a month since grandma passed away, and Cui Che simply washed his face and rinsed his mouth, without even changing his clothes.

Now the peculiar smell on my body is unbearable even to myself, and sometimes itching is even worse than being hungry.

Although this sentence sounds a bit filial, the early death of Cui Jishu and Cui Changjun before he knew about it undoubtedly relieved Cui Che's burden.

Otherwise, three years of filial piety for his parents, and then another three years of filial piety for his grandparents as a great-grandson, I'm afraid even Cui Che won't be able to continue acting.

Cui Che smelled bad all over his body, but no one showed a look of disgust.

This has nothing to do with his official rank, even if he is not the Duke of Yan, nor the current consort, the world will only praise him, this proves that Cui Che is filial and courteous.

After the grandparents were buried together, the guests dispersed one after another. Pei Le was ordered by his father Pei Xiu to stay in Anping to serve his grandmother.

Finally, Cui Che couldn't stand the stench and itching any longer. On the day he closed the door to thank the guests, he took a comfortable hot bath and used eight buckets of water to make him feel refreshed all over.

After taking a bath, he broke the lust ring.

According to the law of etiquette, only after the second year of filial piety is the ceremony of Daxiang, can one approach female sex.

But Cui Che, a 23-year-old young man, can't stand two years of loneliness, and the inner courtyard is full of trusted servants, as long as he is careful, don't make a scandal about his wife and concubine getting pregnant during the mourning period, basically no one will investigate it carefully.

However, Cui Che hadn't closed the door to thank guests for half a month, but two visitors came at night, which he couldn't avoid.

Fortunately, he was not an outsider, but the envoy of Lan Khan Yong Yulu, the capital of East Turkic, and Xi Wang Ahui Lusu.

The two quietly sent envoys south, one for condolences, and the other for discussing matters with Cui Che.

　There are two more chapters, I’ll take a nap first, I’ve had some wine for dinner today, and I’ll post the remaining two chapters at around four o’clock in the morning, and everyone will read them tomorrow when they wake up.
