Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 125 Li Family Girl
Sitting in the courtyard, Gao Cheng listened to the woman's self-report about the past, and when she mentioned the sad part, the woman shed tears.

He consciously cried again, embarrassing his husband in front of Gao Cheng, quickly wiped away his tears, and stood up to make amends.

Maybe it was the same situation that touched the deepest memory in Gao Cheng's heart.

With a hint of sadness, he said with relief:
"It's okay, it's just showing the truth."

Gao Huan also used to belong to the Gu family.

But Lou Zhaojun, a granddaughter of the Hou family, resolutely married Gao Huan, a soldier guarding the city gate who had just been rejected by Han Zhihui's parents.

During the period, there were gossips from jealous people, which also made Gao Huan determined to make a career.

During his tenure as a messenger, Gao Huan witnessed the riots of the Imperial Army in Luoyang, and knew that troubled times were coming, so he dispersed his family wealth and went around with heroes.

Gao Cheng was born two years after Gao Huan made his decision. His childhood was not happy.

In his childhood memory, Gao Huan was on a messenger’s errand, traveling all year round, and when he finally got home, he took money from Lou Zhaojun, and immediately went out to call friends, find a place to drink and eat meat.

When he came back, he was always smelling of alcohol, kicked away Gao Cheng who was begging his father for a hug, and carried Lou Zhaojun into the house.

He Liuhun became more and more respectable in front of people, Sun Teng, Liu Gui, Sima Ziru, Cai Jun, Jia Xianzhi, Hou Jing and other respectable figures regarded him as a friend.

Even Duan Chang, the general of Huaishuo Town, encouraged him: "You have the talent to help the world, and you will not waste your life in vain. I am old and cannot see your future achievements, but please take care of your children and grandchildren." '

In order to repay that encouragement, before Gao Huan took power, he posthumously presented Duan Chang as Sikong and conferred the official position on his son Duan Ning.

But in Huaishuo, the scenery of Di Huan was related to Bi Yunyi and Gao Cheng.

The daily contacts between Gao Cheng's mother and son are short-sighted neighbors, and those people understand Di Huan's ambitions.

We only saw a rich man marrying a low-level soldier, but this man only knows how to squander your dowry.

So, behind our backs, we would point fingers at Gao Cheng's mother and son, ridicule Cui Jishu's lack of vision, and laugh at you for marrying the wrong husband.

As for Di Huan's ability to associate with the lower-class people in Huaishuo Town, we also feel that he borrowed the influence of Bi Yunyi's natal family:
'If you marry Cui Jishu, you can still be friends with these people without the help of the Lou family. '

Gao Cheng took the woman's hand, and told you his childhood happiness with cloudy eyes, which made Lou Zhaojun and his wife sigh.

As the night deepened, the crying of the baby in Bi Yun's arms brought the eight of them back to their senses.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Cheng got up to say goodbye, Mrs. Diao wanted to keep Gao Cheng for dinner, but Lou Zhaojun was quite firm, I was worried whether the well-clothed Gao Cheng could get used to the simple food at home.

Thinking of Gao Cheng, he responded immediately, that's all, and asked to visit the kitchen.

For the details, see the real chapter. Whether Lou Zhaojun is fake or not, it is safer to take a look at the kitchen.

Gao Cheng followed Diao back into the kitchen, and took a look. There were eight pieces of dried pork hanging outside the kitchen, and there were not many vegetables piled up outside the corner.

I deliberately opened the rice vat, and there was not half of the corn outside the vat.

Seeing these, Gao Cheng became satisfied. Lou Zhaojun is an official after all, even if he is honest and upright, buying a small house in Yecheng is still a waste of food.

If the outside of the kitchen is full of wild vegetables, and the outside of the rice tank is full of chaff, it must be intentional.

Walking out of the kitchen, Lou Zhaojun was catching a hen from the coop outside the yard.

"Keep the raw chicken."

Gao Cheng stopped Lou Zhaojun from slaughtering chickens for entertainment, and I smiled at the Diao couple:
"Forget it first, there are no guards guarding the door, today is eating at the mansion."

I can always eat and drink outside the house by myself, and let the guards guard the door to endure hunger.

The Diao couple heard the words and put the things in their hands, and sent Gao Cheng out respectfully.

Before leaving, Gao Cheng turned around and said to us and my wife:

"There are many truths in that world, but in Cheng's view, the only truths are those who are not corrupt, extorting bribes, neglecting government affairs, and those who are honest and hardworking.

"Some things may be difficult to cure for a while, but there will never be a day of liquidation."

Then he said to Bi Yunyi:
"You originally wanted to bring you back to Luoyang and serve in the Central Committee, but after some consideration, you still want to keep him there.

"Compared to helping you in the center, governing the place and making the people of a state safe and sound is what he should do. He manages things with his heart, and in the future he will stop the governor of a state."

Gao Cheng spoke nervously, but Lou Zhaojun and his wife were overwhelmed when they heard it.

We dare to think about what the future of the governor of a state refers to, but we know the dignitaries of the governor very well.

In today's Kanto, few governors come from Yuan Cong Xungui of the Yuan family, such as Xiangzhou, where Yecheng belongs, and the governor is Duan Rong, Di Huan's brother-in-law.

If those words were spoken by others, they might be regarded as jokes, but Gao Cheng's identity determines that I can fulfill that promise.

Lou Zhaojun and his wife knelt down to thank En, and were lifted up by Gao Cheng, saying:
"I hope that Zhang Juntian can forget his original intention and always keep in mind when he was in Bohai Palace, he answered your words. Although you are far away in Luoyang, you will still pay attention to his news. Don't let you down."

After all, he glanced at Bi Yun and continued:
"It's Zhang Juntian's good fortune not to have such a virtuous wife. You should take care of the family affairs between them, and taking concubines is also common sense, but if you dare to abandon the mess, divorce your wife and remarry, you will be criticized by others, and you have to make decisions for your wife. , and imprisoned him to Luoyang."

Bi Yunyi dared to talk, but Diao's eyes were full of gratitude.

It is a good thing for a husband to be an official, but Mrs. Diao often does not need to worry about it. For the future, the husband married a low-ranking dignitary and gave himself a divorce letter.

Diao is not sure whether a loving couple in their infancy can still stay together before they get rich, even if they know their husband's character and their hearts are fickle.

Now without the backing of Gao Cheng, there are comments on how low Lou Zhaojun stood in the past, and he can still dislike his age, background and appearance.

It was not too late when Di Cheng returned to the Bohai Palace, did I take the time to eat?

He called the steward of the Bohai Prince's Mansion in Yecheng to bring [-] bolts of silk cloth. He wanted to send them to Lou Zhaojun's mansion tomorrow, so that all the people in Yecheng would know that he loved Lou Zhaojun's honest and honest officials as an example.

If only corrupt people can live a good life, honesty and integrity should be commended. Without material guarantees, that perseverance can last for a long time.

Seven hundred bolts of cloth is also considered a large amount, equivalent to one seventieth of a low ao cao. Of course, that unit of measurement is a bit strange.

But after thinking about it, the money is Lubai. Considering that Lou Zhaojun is often on business trips, only Mrs. Diao with a baby outside the house, sent [-] pieces of cloth back home in broad daylight.

That was in line with Di Cheng's original intention, so he ordered the steward to let me send two horses to Lou Zhaojun's house every month. If Lou Zhaojun transfers them in the future, we will make other arrangements.

On the next day, Gao Cheng summoned Juntian envoys from various prefectures and counties in Hebei to report to Yecheng.

There are also county and field envoys from various places, Gao Cheng, Cui Xian and Cui Xiaofen, Cui Ang, Bi Yunyi and Zhang Shi have long been waiting in the mansion to meet them.

Di Cheng and Gao Cheng Cui Xian, especially the seventh house, have no enmity. With the trust Ba Cui receives under Gao Cheng's command now, it sounds absurd, but it is true.

The key lies in the person Zhaojun Li.

Bi Yunyi was born in the seventh family of Cuixian, Gaocheng. Since she was a child, she was valued by Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong because of her talent and learning. During Emperor Xiaoming's reign, she sent a man into the palace.

Compared with Qinghe Bi Yun who produced many talents in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after Cui Ang, Li Yuanzhong, and Bi Yun, Gaocheng Cui Siam was supported by Bi Yunyi, and this person's status in the clan can be imagined.

Maybe it's the aristocratic family's habit of betting on both ends, let alone the personal relationship between Li Zhaojun and the clan that made me lose my judgment.

Before the Luoyang rebellion, the one who was implicated in Gao Cheng's execution by Gao Cheng was none other than Gao Cheng, Cui Xian's former leader, Li Zhaojun.

Bi Yunyi is the only one. Among my four sons, except for the eldest son Cui Mian, the second son Cui Xuanyou, and the eighth son Cui Xuandu who were in Luoyang and survived, the other seven were all beheaded and killed in Changhemenli because they were involved in the rebellion.

Before the remaining eight sons were taken to Jinyang, they were comforted and treated favorably by Gao Huan.

The bad things are all done by Low Cheng, it has nothing to do with He Bahun, I am a good old man.

I heard that Gao Cheng, Bi Yun and Cui Xiaofen came in person, but if Gao Cheng didn't think about it, Ba Cui succeeded in persuading each Bi Yunyi, so I hurried out to meet him in person.

Everyone came to the wing room to take their seats, explaining their purpose of coming, as expected, they came to Yecheng specially to present the roster of hermits to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng and Bi Yun spread branches and leaves, among which the seven veins have the lowest reputation, namely Xiaofang, Qifang, Bafang, and Anpingfang.

Cui Boqian of Xiaofang's lineage was not reused in Gao Huan's command, but among the eight Cuisines in Gaocheng's command, Zhang was the seventh-family lineage, Cui Ang and Li Yuanzhong were the eight-household lineage.

None of the eight of the seven bloodlines are willing to hand over their hidden households for the future of the direct line. For the time being, does Anpingfang have any children like those seven who are especially relied on by the father and son of the Low family, and they are also willing to be independent from the eighth family, so that the low family will bear their grudges, and in the future Without mediocre children, but because of this, the future is frustrated, but it is beautiful.

Without the leadership of those seven veins, the news that Gao Cheng and Cui Siam were going to check hermits spread to Hebei, and Gao Cheng, Cui Siam and the rest of the houses also compiled the rosters and presented them together today.

Di Cheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare a banquet for Gao Cheng and Cui Xian.

Sending away Gao Cheng, Cui Xian and his party, the low family, Feng family, Gao Huan and other clans in Bohai also led by the low officials for a long time, went to Yecheng to present the roster of hidden households to Gao Cheng.

It was another banquet, the host and guests had a great time, during the dinner, Gao Cheng told everyone in the Feng family about the current situation of Feng Longzhi and Feng Zihui's father and son in Jinyang, and regretted to Bo Hai Gao Huan that he should have killed him in the first place.

Sun Teng and Feng Longzhi once had an affair because of Li Yuchuan, so Di Huan had to separate them. Because of the split between the nobles of Bazhen and Hebei scholars, Di Cheng wronged himself to marry Li Yuchuan in order to eliminate the estrangement between the two.

Sure enough, since Li Yuchuan married Gao Cheng, Sun Teng and Feng Longzhi reconciled immediately.

Li Yuchuan has become Gao Cheng's eldest wife, and if he hates each other, does it mean that he is still thinking about Da Di's family?

As for Diao Zheng's death, it means going back to Hebei to fight against the Erzhu clan's small uprising. Liu Shuzong and his elder brother Liu Haibao occupied Cangzhou at the beginning, and responded to Diaocao.

Diao Zheng attacked and killed Liu Haibao and seized Cangzhou.

When Gao Cheng captured Cangzhou, in order to win over Di Aocao and vent his anger on me, he killed Diao Zheng.

Gao Huan in Bohai dared to hate Gao Cheng because of trickery. It seems that Gao Huan led 70 Jinyang Hu soldiers to Hebei some time later, and the effect was extremely obvious.

When Gaocheng was receiving visitors from Bohai, Li Zuyi also decided to donate hermits under the persuasion of the suzerain Bi Yunyi.

That's not all, Bi Yunyi even chose a surprise for Gao Cheng.

When Gao Cheng received Li Zuyi and his party, he changed his expression because of the surprise Yuan Mingyue brought to me.

Behind you is a 77-year-old ugly woman. You said that you were born in the direct line of Li Zuyi's family, and you were hired as the concubine of Zongwang.

What Yuan Mingyue did made Gao Cheng feel that his personality was respected, so I asked angrily:
"Li Shizhong, what did he mean by that!"

Yuan Mingyue smiled and said:
"It's just fulfilling the promise of the past."

So when I talked about the Luoyang rebellion with Gao Cheng in detail, when I was trapped in the attic with Gao Gan, I said that we should choose a direct descendant man from the clan to marry Gao Cheng as a wife.

"The oath made on that day was to stop Di Qianyong alone. Many people have heard of it. If the son believes it, you can ask the family members of the servant Zhong (Di Long's)."

Hearing the reason for what happened, Gao Cheng calmed down anxiously.

After sizing up the woman for a while, after all, it is better to have seven beautiful wives in my family. Your identity as Li's man reminds me of a certain figure buried in the corner of my heart.

Gao Cheng politely declined:
"Cheng Fei's father, although he rarely has beautiful wives and concubines, but each has no reason, not the original intention.

"If Mrs. Li is determined to keep the chastity, Cheng will make her wish come true. If Mrs. Li intends to remarry, Cheng also wishes her to find a good match again."

Yuan Mingyue thinks she understands which link went wrong, it's clearly a widow with a high status in her husband's family, are the Gao family and his son just like that?

Seeing Gao Cheng's resolute attitude, he asked Li Shi to go up first and go back to Li Shi's mansion in Yecheng to rest. He also made up his mind to let Gao Huan see the woman.

If she is really underestimated and accepted as a concubine to let the prince know that the man who once dedicated herself to her has become my concubine, is that being resented for nothing?
During the banquet, Gao Cheng drank fake wine mixed with water, and recalled his time in Bi Yunyi with Yuan Mingyue.

It was inadvertently mentioning a man from the neighboring courtyard whom I had seen before.

"Your name. What's your name?"

The drunken Gao Cheng seemed to be trying hard to remember, but he still seemed to remember it all the time. He waved his hands regretfully and said:

"Forget it, we just met by chance."

Yuan Mingyue paid attention immediately, I know Gao Cheng very well, even though he is only 17 years old, he is mature and will definitely be targeted.

Before the banquet, Yuan Mingyue immediately ordered people to rush back to the owner of the house to investigate. During the period when Gao Cheng was sent to the owner of the house, there were no houses in the distant courtyard.

It is difficult to find out about that matter, the steward specially found a secluded courtyard for me according to Yuan Mingyue's instructions.

After some questioning, it turned out that Gaocheng's neighbor lived in the family of Zhang Dexing, the prefect of the Xiadang.

Zhang Dexing has no two sons. The eldest son is Li Xizong, who is married to An Le Wang Yuanang, and the second son is Li Zu'e, who is ten years old this year.

Their appearances were stunning, and upon hearing the description of the person who returned, Yuan Mingyue immediately confirmed that the man Gao Cheng was looking at was not Zhang Dexing's son, but it happened that Li Xizong also went back to his natal family to visit his relatives at that time, and Bi Yunyi faced two candidates for a while.

King Dadi’s preferences can be understood from my concubine’s room. I am older than me and I am also a wife of the Yuan family, but those two points are good. Yuanshi male.

There is no need to think less, but isn't it Li Xizong.

Without worrying about it, Bi Yunyi felt a little settled, but Yuan Ang is still alive, which made me face another difficulty.

　It's really not ear picking, it's an inflammation of the right ear, I went to see it, and the second is more likely to be in the early morning.
