On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 3 People from Ye City
The nobleman heard Cui Che's polite refusal, but there was nothing he could do about it. The young man in front of him was no longer a shepherd boy he could handle arbitrarily.

No matter how much he wanted to cling to the elite of the noble family, it was impossible for him to promise his daughter to Pei Xiu and push her into the pit of fire.

Pei Xiu is good at everything, after all, he has worked for the family for four years, and I can count as watching him grow up, but there is something missing.

The two brothers finally had a full meal, Pei Xiu looked at the remaining dishes, and deliberately packed them back, fearing that the nobles would not allow it, she was hesitating, but was dragged out by Cui Che.

"Ache! Oh!"

After going out, Pei Xiu let out a long sigh, and looked back into the yard from time to time, still thinking about his little leftovers.

Just as Cui Che was about to explain, a carriage was speeding towards him in the distance.

"Young master!"

An old man protruded from the compartment behind the groom and shouted at Cui Che.

Cui Che didn't know the person who came. When Cui Jishu was convicted, the original owner was only two years old and couldn't remember many things, but Pei Xiu knew it very well. He was already nine years old at that time, and he had already remembered things. The person who came was his grandfather. His confidant was in charge, when he often visited Cui's house, he often saw this old man surnamed Zhao, and his grandfather even asked him to respectfully call him Weng Zhao.

"Ache! It's Zhao Weng! It's my grandfather's confidant in charge."

Pei Xiu held Cui Che's hand tightly, and said happily, no matter how stupid he was, he connected the nobleman's hospitality today with Zhao Weng's arrival, and he also thought that something happened in the Central Plains, although he didn't know if the Northern Qi emperor pardoned them , but he also knew that he and Cui Che could bid farewell to the current hard life.

Cui Che knew that this day would come when he knew his identity, but he still couldn't help being excited when he came to the south to greet him.

When the carriage reached the front, it was stable, and Zhao Weng jumped down, causing Cui Che to worry about his health.

"It's so similar, it's so similar, it looks exactly the same as Mr. Changjun when he was young."

Zhao Weng looked at Cui Che's delicate eyebrows and couldn't help sighing.

Pei Xiu who was on the side couldn't wait to interrupt:

"Zhao Weng, Ah Che is uncle's son, his appearance should be like that of his father, but why did you come here?"

Only then did Zhao Weng remember the business.

"Young master, Mr. Xiu, happy event! Great happy event! Lord Zhou entered Ye City, issued an order to treat the head of the family and Master Pei preferentially, and return the family members and property."

Before she finished speaking, Pei Xiu jumped three feet high, startling Cui Che and Zhao Weng.

"Two young masters, get on the carriage and follow me to Yecheng to thank you. The old lady is still waiting for you two in Yecheng."

Zhao Weng urged.

"I can't go now."

Cui Che and Pei Xiu looked at each other and laughed in unison:

"I still have to pick up my aunt (mother)."

Cui Zhaorong still doesn't know the news of the Central Plains. She is over [-] years old and still sews for others in Xiren's mansion. All these years, she has saved money to support Pei Xiu and Cui Che by doing knitting work. , The two brothers have long starved to death.

Last year, the original owner contracted a cold, and it was Cui Zhaorong who rescued him.

Cui Zhaorong's father, Cui Jishu, was good at medicine. He never slacked off throughout his life. Even if he was in a high position, he could put down his figure and treat the poor and lowly.

"Mother!"

"aunt!"

The shouting outside the house alarmed Cui Zhaorong. She worked under the dim candlelight all year round. Her eyesight became very poor, and she could not see the faces of people from a distance, but she could recognize the voices of her son and nephew.

"You two didn't go to herd, why did you come to me?"

Cui Zhaorong thought the two were lazy and blamed them.

"No more grazing, no more grazing in this life, Auntie, we are going back to the Central Plains!"

Cui Che held Cui Zhaorong's hand and said joyfully.

It is said that she is an aunt, but she has worked hard to raise her all these years. To Cui Che, Cui Zhaorong is no different from her mother.

"Mother, Lord Zhou entered Ye City and issued an imperial edict to forgive us. We are here to pick you up."

When Cui Zhaorong heard this, muddy tears rolled down the wrinkles on her face, she hugged Cui Che and Pei Xiu tightly, and said excitedly:

"Okay! Go home! Let's go home!"

Zhao Weng had just talked with Neifu Xiren, and when he came to the house, he saw the three of them embracing each other and weeping. Thinking of the changes in the Cui family over the years, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Of course, Xi Ren was unwilling to let Cui Zhaorong go. She was old and unloved, but she was also a match of the Northern Qi court and belonged to him.

It wasn't until Cui Che and Pei Xiu's grazing nobles testified that Lord Zhou had already obtained the land of Hebei and issued an imperial edict for forgiveness, so he reluctantly returned Cui Zhaorong's contract as a concubine, and since then the two have been cleared.

Before leaving, Cui Che and Pei Xiu thanked the nobleman for taking care of them over the years. This gratitude came from the heart, especially Cui Che. If it weren't for kindness, who would hire a six-year-old boy to herd herds, not only feeding his brother every day? Two or four steamed buns also provide accommodation, even if it is dilapidated, it is still a shelter from the wind and rain.

The nobleman's surname is Yuan, and he is said to be a nobleman, but in fact he is just a rich man from northern Xinjiang.

Although he was unable to recruit a son-in-law and had regrets, it was satisfying to let Cui Che and Pei Xiu owe him a favor.

After all, Cui Che is not an ordinary descendant of the Cui family in Boling. Among the three Cui in Boling, Cui Xian died in 559 AD, Cui Ang died in 565 AD, and Cui Jishu was the undoubted leader of the Cui family in Boling. Until four years ago, in 573 AD, he was killed.

The carriage was going south, and Zhao Weng was sitting with the groom. In the carriage, Cui Che and Pei Xiu were next to Cui Zhaorong on the left and right. The smile never stopped.

On the seventh day of March in the sixth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (577), Cui Che and his party crossed the Zimo Bridge and arrived outside Yecheng.

Cui Che was carried off the carriage, and he saw many ruined buildings.

Zhou Zhu Yu Wenyong lived a frugal life. He couldn't see the many gorgeous palaces in Yecheng, so he ordered them to be burned down. Many towers on the city wall of Yecheng also suffered. Bird Terrace, Jinhu Terrace, and Bingjing Terrace also failed to escape. (Qi's Dongshan, Nanyuan, and Santai can be destroyed)

After passing the search at the city gate, the carriage drove into Yecheng. Cui Che, who returned to the carriage, couldn't help but lift the curtains, and looked at the scenery along the street. Pei Xiu was also looking at the other side of the carriage. He had lived in Yecheng for nine years. But now that he returned to his hometown after four years, he couldn't help being curious, wanting to see the changes in the city.

The city of Ye was first built when Duke Huan of Qi was in power, and the Gao clan moved the capital to Yecheng. More than [-] households from Luoyang moved here. In order to resettle the relocated households, Yenan City was newly built, and it is now a prosperous scene.

Cui Che knew from the bottom of his heart that in a few years, the political, economic, military, and cultural center of the Hebei region, the thousand-year-old city, would be burned to the ground.

But it has nothing to do with him.

'Yecheng, I'm here to enjoy myself. '

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Cui Che daydreamed.
