On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 4
The carriage stopped in front of a magnificent mansion, and Zhao Weng shouted to the inside of the carriage:

"Young master, you're home."

In the spacious carriage, Cui Che is the only one left now.

Since Zhou Lord Yu Wenyong issued an edict to return his family members and property, it naturally also included Cui and Pei's houses in Yecheng. Only the Taijun can go to the Cui Mansion.

Before Cui Che got out of the carriage, the porter ran back to the mansion to report.

"Young master is back! Little master is back"

The voice gradually faded away, Cui Che was carried out of the carriage by Zhao Weng, he himself resisted this kind of practice, and always felt ashamed, but Zhao Weng was afraid that his six-year-old little master would bump into him, this is the only child in the family.

Cui Che looked at the mansion in front of him, and saw that the three animal-headed gates were open, and under the steps, two stone lions were lifelike. Dozens of servants and handmaids poured out from the east and west corner gates, all kneeling down to salute him and smiling at him. welcome.

This kind of scene was in stark contrast to the thatched huts he was used to living in, which made Cui Che a little uncomfortable for a while.

But it was only a short-term distraction, but after all, he has seen the big world. He has been to the Forbidden City several times, 60 in peak season and 40 in off-season. You can get a discount with your student ID, only 20 for you.

The Cui Mansion's grandeur is true, but it can't compare to the grandeur of the Forbidden City.

"Get up."

A six-year-old child imitates the manners of an adult, but no one dares to laugh at him.

The main gate of Cui's mansion is usually not open, and the entrance and exit are usually through the east and west corner gates, but the young master of Cui's mansion suffered from four years of wind and sand in northern Xinjiang, and finally came back, so he had to open the main gate to welcome him.

Zhao Weng led the way, and Cui Che was followed by a group of servants and maidservants. After all, they were from famous families. The servants were well-dressed, and the maidservants were dressed in red and green. Of course, Cui Che’s outfit was not bad. He was changed, and Zhao Weng bought him a satin dress on the way.

Cui Che passed through the hanging flower gate, walked through the Chaoshou verandah, and saw his grandmother who had been late in the hall.

Her grandmother's surname was Feng, from the Feng family in Bohai, and she was the daughter of Feng Long, an important minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

The Feng family had two daughters, but no heirs. Therefore, although Cui Che's father, Cui Changjun, was not a legitimate son, as the eldest son of a concubine, he was also regarded by the Feng family as his own.

As the youngest son of Cui Changjun, Cui Che is also the only male bloodline in the family. How can the Feng family not cherish the reason? It will take a lot of time to welcome you.

"My darling, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

When Old Madam Feng saw Cui Che, seeing his resemblance to her father Cui Changjun's appearance, she hugged her tightly in her arms and wept with snot and tears.

"Grandmother, don't be sad. Isn't your grandson back? In the future, he will be happy at his grandmother's knees and be filial to his father, uncle, and brothers."

Brother Che's words of comfort reminded Feng Shi of the two concubines and a group of grandchildren who were stroking Cui Che's little head and crying even more sadly.

Cui Che stretched out his small hand to wipe away the tears for his grandmother. Seeing that he was so well-behaved and sensible, Old Madam Feng was filled with joy in her heart, and couldn't stop muttering:

"Good boy! Good boy"

Saying that, Old Madam Feng wiped away her tears, got up and took Cui Che's hand and said:
"Go, go with grandma to pay homage to your ancestors, to your grandfather and father, and thank them for blessing your safe return."

This is a bright ancestral hall, all the servants, maidservants, even Zhao Weng and other confidantes were left outside, only Old Madam Feng and Cui Che knelt down under the spirit tablets.

Old Madam Feng pointed to the spiritual tablets, told Cui Che their identities, and told their life stories.

Cui Che's ancestors have been officials for many generations, especially after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty restructured Taihe, he took people's dregs and transplanted the nine-rank Zhongzheng system to the north. It couldn't be easier for a family member with four surnames next to the Han people to become an official.

After recognizing the ancestors, Mrs. Feng took out another notebook.

"It records the assets of the Cui Mansion, which have been accumulated by the ancestors of the past generations. You are still young, Che'er, and your grandmother will keep it for you for the time being. When you get older or go away first, it will be returned to you."

No matter how much he loves his grandson, it is impossible for a seven-year-old child to manage the accounts. Cui Che naturally understood, but he still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. He opened his eyes wide and pretended to be naive and said:
"Grandma, can you let me have a look at the assets at home."

"Che'er can still read?!"

Old Madam Feng was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.

What she was most worried about was that her grandson went to northern Xinjiang when he was two years old, and spent four years there, still worrying about his studies.

You need to know that his grandfather Cui Jishu dabbled in classics and history. Gao Chen.

Gao Chen recommended Cui Jishu to Gao Huan. After Gao Huan took the school exams, he personally checked where there was a vacancy for Chenglang, and filled him in as Daxingtai Duguan Langzhong. His son Gao Cheng went from Jinyang to Yecheng at the age of 15 to preside over the government. Cui Jishu entered the court as an assistant.

No one really thinks that Cui Jishu is a pimp.

Take Cui Xian, one of the three Cui in Boling, as an example. Gao Huan sent troops to Luoyang after defeating the Erzhu family in the Battle of Hanling. He ordered Cui Xian to assist his younger brother Gao Chen to stay in Hebei. Before leaving, he shook his hand and said:
"Big husbands know each other, whether it's the old or the new, the military is of course important, and the responsibility of staying behind is not light. My younger brother is young and not skilled in handling things. All the work in the rear will be entrusted to you. '

In order to let Cui Xian fight against the lawless nobles, Gao Cheng even deliberately staged a play at a banquet, so that Cui Xian could fight against him.

It is such a prominent person who shuns outsiders in front of Cui Jishu and bows down:
"If I can be appointed as Shang Shu Pu She, it will be due to your kindness, Uncle. '

Cold knowledge, Cui Xian is more than ten years older than Cui Jishu.

With the power of the ancestors, now that the burden of reviving the family business falls on Cui Che, Mrs. Feng naturally has high hopes for him.

"When grazing in northern Xinjiang, my grandson always followed his cousin to learn how to read."

Old Madam Feng was very pleased by Cui Che's answer, she handed the book to Cui Che, and Cui Che immediately started to read it.

While looking at it, I couldn't help but click my tongue secretly. Did the ancestors and officials all focus on asking for land and homes? How did they accumulate so much wealth?

Although it is not comparable to the 24 mu of land occupied by the children of Xu Jie's family, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, there are also thousands of hectares of fertile land, totaling [-] mu.

There are countless houses, slaves and surplus money.

The family property was confiscated back then, and it was all recorded. Now that the emperor issued an edict to return it, he took it all back according to the plan. After all, this was the method used by the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to show favor. It was a political mission, and it was related to the Boling Cui family. The world's first-class elite, who dares to ask for it.
