Chapter 89
"Father."

Cui Zhaorong not only came to Jinyang by himself, but also brought Pei Xiu's two-year-old heir with him.

Calling foster father, Cui Che rejoiced that this little baby hadn't lost half of his life.

The child was born with a round head, big eyes, and good looks, but the name was not very connotative, and his name was Pei Le.

"Isn't the name just a title? In the future, you can choose a better name for him, so that he can live in the world with his characters."

Pei Xiu didn't care.

Okay, the father doesn't care whether he pays or not, and he doesn't worry about it himself.

But Cui Zhaorong came this time because of Cui Che's marriage, and he didn't stop talking on the way back to the city.

"How does Princess Leping look like?"

"Even if you are ugly, you can't dislike others. Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person. I often hear people praise Princess Leping for her virtue. If you marry such a woman, she will definitely be able to take care of your family affairs."

"Alas! I never thought that my family, Ah Che, would also be at the age to marry a wife. When is the wedding date set? Where has the three letters and six rituals come?"

One question after another, looking at the nagging aunt, Cui Che also knew that she was very happy.

"Auntie, don't worry, Princess Leping is not only kind-hearted, but also looks great, but the three letters and six rituals will have to wait until May next year."

Cui Zhaorong sighed heavily:
"For the rest of my life, I can watch Che'er get married and have a child, and see Le'er grow up healthy, and I don't have any other worries."

Pei Xiu was taken aback when she heard the words, the three of you are a family?

The carriage was parked outside a house with three entrances and three exits in Jinyang City. This was a house that Cui Che had rented in advance.

The reason why she didn't move into the official residence was because at the beginning of this year, Pei Xiu's grandmother passed away, and Axiu resigned from the official post to observe her filial piety. Since her father died early, according to the etiquette, she had to complete three years before she could resume her official career.

Cui Che originally wanted to seek a recovery for Pei Xiu, but he refused.

Pei Xiu is different from Cui Che, he doesn't have too much ambition in his official career, and he is sincere in keeping filial piety for his grandmother.

The three daughters Yuchi Chifan, Mu Xieli and Miaorong had already been waiting outside the mansion, they rented this house, and Cui Che also moved out of the official residence.

It is not the first time that the third daughter and Cui Zhaorong have met each other. Even Yuchi Chifan met her face to face in Chang'an, so she has lost a lot of restraint. They knead Pei Le's chubby cheeks one by one, feeling that this round head The little doll is very cute.

Cui Che had the three daughters arrange the people, and he had to rush back to the government office. Today is not Xiu Mu, he took the time to go out of the city to pick up people.

Now it is the end of November, which is the deadline for household tax and land tax collection. As the chief minister of money and food, Cui Che is naturally so busy that it is difficult to have a rest.

It feels like being an accountant in the later generations. Most of the time, Cui Che is very leisurely. Cui Che can even find time to deal with military supplies and logistics.

Fortunately, when Grandmother Feng Lao Furen arrived, it was already the end of the year, and the money and food had already been settled, and everything that should be sent to Chang'an was also shipped.

Old Madam Feng is over [-] years old, Cui Che absolutely disagrees with her plan to come to Jinyang, the carriage is very bumpy these days, Boling and Jinyang are far away, why bother to suffer.

It's just that the old man really missed his grandson, so he came excitedly regardless of his objection.

"Grandmother shouldn't go back to Boling. It just so happens that my aunt is also in Jinyang, and it happens to be a family reunion. Why don't you just stay here forever."

Cui Che was really worried that his old grandmother had something good or bad, and when he kept his filial piety for three years, even if he could regain his love, the marriage would definitely be delayed.

Historically, on the eve of marrying Yang Awu, Xiao Jue, the younger brother of Princess Jin, suffered his father's death. After three years of filial piety, Yang Awu became Liu Shu's wife.

Of course Cui Che didn't want the marriage to be full of twists and turns, so how could he let the old man have another bumpy trip.

At first Mrs. Feng disagreed, the old man was very stubborn, so she wanted to go back to her hometown in Boling and let her grandson take care of the family property, so that no one would take it over.

It was Cui Zhaorong who helped persuade him and agreed.

After all, what Cui Zhaorong said made sense. With Cui Che's current status, who would dare to invade his ancestral property.

Cui Che ushered in the third year of Kaihuang, amidst the busyness of handling official duties and serving his grandmother and aunt.

On the first day of the third year of Emperor Kaihuang (583), it was still a leisurely seven-day long holiday. Before dawn, he was already preparing to worship his ancestors. Brother Che waved his hand, and all the big fish and meat were given to his grandfather Cui Jishu, father Cui Changjun, and uncle Cui Jingxuan. And a group of brothers and cousins ​​greeted you.

Usually, Cui Che's life is considered frugal. After all, what is good at the top must be bad at the bottom. It is also related to Cui Che's annual salary being cut off by Yang Jian.

It's just that Cui Jishu couldn't suffer for ancestor worship on the first day. If Cui Che was the only one, he would just be fooling around. Cui Che could break two of them.

Yuchi Chifan, as in the past, hid in his room in the afternoon to secretly worship his father and ancestors, and Cui Che also sneaked in to burn incense for Yuchijiong.

Pei Le wore new clothes, and jumped around the yard with his short legs. He could run long after his second birthday.

Seeing foster father, he laughed and wanted to hug him, but Cui Che took away the caramel in his hand.

"You can't eat too much sugar, foster father will save it for you."

After finishing speaking, he ate it into his mouth, leaving only Pei Le stunned in place, and then burst into tears.

The culprit had already gone to Yang Guang's mansion for a banquet, and Pei Xiu also went with him. Although he had no official position, he still had friendship with Yang Guang, so he was naturally on the guest list.

Jinyang is naturally immersed in the joy of the festival, while Chang'an, which is far away in Guanzhong, is a busy scene.

The operation and construction of the new capital has been completed. On the seventh day of December last year, Yang Jian named the new capital Daxing City. The first edict issued in the third year of the founding of the emperor was to move the capital to Daxing City and amnesty the world.

Of course, Cui Dana, who was dispatched to northern Xinjiang, was not included in the amnesty. The "Kaihuang Law" inherited the "Northern Qi Law", which is heinous.

The ten evils are treason, conspiracy, rebellion, surrender, evil rebellion, immorality, disrespect, unfilial piety, injustice, and civil strife.

Those who are convicted of these ten evils will not be exonerated even if they receive an amnesty.

But Cui Danado's family members are old friends and relatives, someone takes care of them, and their life is not too bad, at least they don't have to live in a broken thatched hut beside the sheepfold like Cui Che and Pei Xiu did when they were young, herding sheep for others.

But thanks to this job at that time, otherwise the two brothers might not have survived.

In the south, Changsha king Chen Shujian, who had rescued his elder brother Chen Shubao in the mourning hall, was expelled from Jiankang and served as governor of Jiangzhou.

Previously, Chen Shubao was cut in the neck by his second brother Chen Shuling and was injured. Chen Shujian presided over all the government affairs. Surrounded by power, Chen Shujian drifted away without any accident, and acted quite arrogantly.

Another minister slandered, and it was reasonable for Chen Shujian to be expelled from Jiankang.

 Bring the third one.
