On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 259 Inquiry
After all, the Bodhisattva slave did not follow his father Cui Che's example. When he and Li Mi went to Yueguo Mansion, they still brought a gift.

"Li Mi met senior brother."

"Nephew pays respects to uncle."

Yang Xuangan helped the two of them up, stroked the head of the Bodhisattva slave with his big hand, and said with a smile:
"Your father is not here today, so you and I will be called the same family."

The Bodhisattva slave politely declined:

"Etiquette cannot be discarded. Uncle and father are brothers and sisters. Abandoning illness can't mess up the status."

Yang Xuan felt helpless and said:

"Just like your father, stick to etiquette."

The Bodhisattva slave felt that Yang Xuangan had misunderstood his father deeply, but as a son of man, he did not correct his mistakes. After all, family ugliness should not be publicized.

Yang Xuangan welcomed the two into his courtyard, where Dou Wei was already waiting.

Dou Wei is a bookworm, obsessed with books all the year round, just like Cui Zhaorong, he suffers from eye diseases, at this moment, he wears a pair of simple glasses on his ears, which were naturally a gift from Cui Che two years earlier.

Cui Che never showed the binoculars to others, and kept them carefully for future use.

As for the glasses, I don't pay much attention to them. After making glass glasses for Cui Zhaorong, I also made a pair for Dou Wei. The prescription may not be accurate, but at least I am no longer blind.

It's just that Dou Wei was so engrossed in reading that he didn't notice that Yang Xuangan went out to pick him up, nor did he notice that the three of them had returned to the courtyard.

It wasn't until Bodhisattva Nu and Li Mi bowed to salute, one called uncle and the other called senior brother, that Dou Wei looked away from the book and greeted them with a smile.

After everyone was seated, servants brought dishes, and Yang Xuangan thought of the Bodhisattva slave and Li Mi's young age, and specially prepared tea for them.

During the banquet, Yang Xuangan asked the Bodhisattva slave:
"Is your father really determined to keep his filial piety for three years?"

The Bodhisattva slave swallowed the chewed meat and said:
"My uncle and my father have known each other for 16 years, so why bother to ask."

Yang Xuan sighed and said with emotion:
"I've known your father since I was a child. That's why I was surprised that he would reject the sage's love and endure three years of loneliness."

In Yang Xuangan's memory, Cui Che was extremely dedicated to work, and he didn't look like he would waste three years for his unrelated grandmother.

The Bodhisattva slave had to change his mouth again:
"Three days after farewell, you should treat each other with admiration. Uncle and father have not seen each other for several years, so how can you look at people with old eyes."

Yang Xuangan shook his head and said:

"Your mouth looks like your father's when he was a teenager."

After all, he drank a glass of wine and regretted why he couldn't give birth to such a smart son.

Li Mi on the side interrupted and asked:

"Senior brother has been very effective in governing Yingzhou. This time, he came back with a reputation. I don't know if he will be transferred to any position?"

Yang Xuan smiled and said:
"It is also the news that I learned yesterday that I was transferred to the governor of Songzhou (ruled in Songcheng County, now Shangqiu, Henan Province)."

Now even Dou Wei put down his books, and together with Bodhisattva slave and Li Mi congratulated Yang Xuangan on his promotion.

Yingzhou, where Yang Xuangan originally worked, belonged to Zhongzhou, and the post of governor was only from the third grade.

However, Songzhou belongs to Shangzhou and is also the governor, but the official worships the third rank.

Yang Xuangan waved his hands and said to the Bodhisattva slave:
"When your father's relatives and old relatives return to Daxing to report on their duties, there must be something you want to congratulate."

When the Bodhisattva slave heard the words, he became energetic immediately and asked anxiously:

"Uncle, don't try to be a fool. Tell me quickly, so I can send a letter from home. If my father knows that all the old friends have a good place to go, he can rest assured."

Seeing that everyone present was from his own family, Yang Xuan didn't hide anything, and told the Bodhisattva slaves one by one the news he heard yesterday:

"Shaocai (Pei Xiu) has made a lot of achievements in Jiaozhou. He will be transferred from Xiazhou governor to Zhongzhou governor. It is said that he will go to Weizhou (zhiguixiang county, now a famous name in Hebei)."

Weizhou was established by Yang Jian after the Yuchijiong Rebellion.

"Huang Baiji, the secretary of the Qingzhou General Administration Office, will serve as the governor of Xiazhou. It is expected to be transferred to Hebei to serve as the governor of Maozhou (governing Guantao County, now Guan County, Shandong Province)."

Maozhou was also established after the Yuchijiong Rebellion, and it led a total of four counties.

"Liu Fang, the governor of Yanzhou, was transferred to the governor of Shangzhou, and became the governor of Yingzhou (ruled in the military city of Zhaodu, now Hejian City, Hebei)."

"The Inspector of Yizhou, Li Gang, succeeded the Inspector of Laizhou."

Laizhou was Gwangju under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou General Manager's Mansion at the beginning, and it is still governed by Yecheng (now Laizhou, Shandong).

As for the others such as Qin Qiong, Dong Jing, Zhao Mu, Wang Dangwan, Zhao Yuanshu, etc., they also had promotions, but their official positions were humble, they were only Chang Shi and Sima, so Yang Xuangan didn't keep it in mind.

There were 241 prefectures in the Sui Dynasty. Among the 241 prefects, Cui Che's old department actually only occupied four seats.

The Bodhisattva Slave transferred the positions of Pei Xiu, Huang Baiji, Liu Fang, and Li Gang to his heart. When he was full of wine and food, it was already dark when he said goodbye, and the city gate had long been closed.

After agreeing to return to the academy with Li Mi tomorrow morning, Bodhisattva Nu returned to the Duke of Yan's mansion under the leadership of his servants.

After entering the study, he hurriedly wrote a letter to inform Cui Che of the news.

At this time, Cui Che was holding Yang Lihua in his arms, rubbing hands with her.

After the two played, Cui Che hugged Yang Lihua and suggested:
"It's been a while since Yanqing was born, and now it's almost the end of the year, why don't you take him back to Daxing, and let the two saints meet his grandson."

Yang Lihua changed her face on the spot, she twisted Cui Che's waist, and did not let go until Cui Che repeatedly begged for mercy.

"You're thinking of driving me away again, maybe my concubine is really getting in your way by following you.

"You often bring two women of unknown origin into the mansion, and I never really stopped you."

Seeing that Yang Lihua was full of complaints, Cui Che rubbed the soft flesh on his waist and explained:
"If I wanted to drive you away, how could I have brought you to Anping to raise a baby before? Wouldn't it be unnecessary.

"I'm afraid that you miss your parents, so I just let the two saints take a look at Yanqing."

Yang Lihua doubtfully said:

"You really think so?"

Cui Che sighed:
"I just asked you to go back to Daxing, and I didn't ask you to stay in Guanzhong for a long time. After the first day, you just go back to Anping."

Yang Lihua finally smiled again. She rolled her eyes at Cui Che and said:
"You, if you care half as much for the concubine as for the emperor and the queen mother, then the concubine will be satisfied.

"What are you talking about worrying about my concubine missing my parents? Why don't you ask me to invite you to be favored in front of my father and mother."

Cui Che didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile:
"When are you going to leave?"

Yang Lihua hugged Cui Che tightly, put her head on his chest, and said:

"It's still early in the first day, so I have to let you spend more time with my concubine."

Cui Che had no objection to this. He stroked Yang Lihua's beautiful hair and said:
"You have returned to Daxing, but you must not let it slip and let people know that you and I have a relationship between husband and wife during the funeral."

Yang Lihua bit Cui Che's chest, and said bitterly:
"Back when you held my concubine's hand in the East Palace, I knew you were a rude person."
